The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Resting the pen tip for a while, Tao Anran looked at the kang drawing on the table, thought carefully and compared it in his heart, and made sure there was no mistake.Then he asked Bai Lu Han Lu in front of him: "Are there any craftsmen in the palace? Those who usually repair houses."

Hearing this, both of them looked embarrassed, "Princess, craftsmen are rarely used on weekdays, and they are only recruited when there is a need. So there are no craftsmen in the palace now."

Tao Anran didn't expect that there were no craftsmen in the palace, but it didn't get in the way.Although it is not difficult to cook the kang, it is only more professional and convenient to have craftsmen present, and it is safe and confidential by the way.In this case, it is the second best thing to do.

Tao Anran: "Since there are no craftsmen now, let's recruit craftsmen first, and also find a few good hands in other fields. It is best to be young and strong who are smart and have done hard work."

This requirement is simple. Many people have done hard work these years, and those who can enter the palace are not stupid.Therefore, there are quite a few people in the palace who meet the requirements.

Han Lu quickly replied: "There are some people like this in the palace, how many people does the princess need? Do you have any other requirements?"

Tao Anran thought for a while and said, "First, bring the people to me to have a look. If they are suitable, I will pick six to eight people first. Then there is the matter of materials. I need bricks, sand, loess mud and so on. I will take care of these materials. As soon as they are listed, you will be ready as soon as possible."

Tao Anran thought about the steps to make the kang, the first thing to do should be the kang noodles.There is no ready-made kang noodles, so they have to be made into molds and burned out.However, all of these must be solved together with human hands and complete materials.

Thinking about it this way, it will take a lot of time to set up a kang.The main thing is that the kang noodles should be made fresh.But the wind here is strong, and the kang surface dries quickly.After finishing the kang of Miracle Doctor Qu first, and then get one for his own room, the other servants in the mansion will also get a few more, so that everyone can live warmer in winter.

Tao Anran made a calculation, such light kang noodles had to be made a lot before it was enough.He hurriedly called Bai Lu, "There is a free yard in the mansion, prepare a special material for placing the kang."

Handing things over to Bai Lu Hanlu in this way, Tao Anran felt relieved for the time being.Just wait for the manpower and materials to be ready, and then show off your skills.

In this Northwest Yunzhou, Zhenbei Wangfu is the sky.Regardless of the various rare resources, what Tao Anran wanted was just ordinary sand and stones, so the materials were ready the next day.As for manpower, the mansion found a few highly profitable and free servants.He also recruited a veteran craftsman from outside the mansion who repaired houses for others all the year round.

The materials were gathered in an empty house in the outer courtyard.The hands were naturally gathered together.Tao Anran changed into clean clothes early and came in front of everyone.

The first thing he saw was naturally the newly recruited craftsman, a somewhat aged and weather-beaten uncle.Tao Anran went to say hello first and said, "Master, you are a mason who often helps people repair houses. May I ask your surname? What's your name?"

The first time the craftsman entered the palace, he was already uneasy.Seeing a servant serving behind him, brother Yi has an outstanding temperament. Although he doesn't know his identity, he knows that he is a noble person.

Seeing that the nobleman is so approachable and approachable again, I feel even more apprehensive.He hurriedly saluted and replied: "Your honor, the younger one's surname is Liu. The fourth eldest in my family, so the neighbors in the neighborhood call me the fourth eldest Liu."

Tao Anran hurriedly avoided, then pulled the craftsman up and smiled, "Master Liu, you don't need to be too polite. This time, I need Master Liu's help. I also hope that Master Liu can give me some pointers."

Liu Laosi is sincere and fearful.

Tao Anran first selected six smart ones from the servants in the mansion, especially those who can lay bricks and tiles on weekdays.

Then Tao Anran began to talk about his requirements with Liu Laosi, especially the requirements for Kang noodles.

Tao Anran said a few words to Master Liu based on the drawings, and saw the expression on Master Liu's face from doubt to understanding.He was certain in his heart that it was different to have a master.

Next, under Tao Anran's guidance, Master Liu took the servants to tentatively make several frame molds, filled them with loess and coarse sand, and most importantly, added crushed straw.This makes the kang surface more compact and firm.And flatten and fill densely, press hard to smooth.This is to make a clay board with kang surface.

After the first finished product, the subsequent ones are easy, and the quality of the subsequent clay boards is obviously much better than the previous ones.

In this way, some clay boards with kang surface were tentatively made, and after checking that the number was about the same, they were placed, and then demoulded to dry.After drying the finished product, Tao Anran carefully looked at it, and after confirming that it was similar to what he had seen before, he could prepare the kang.

According to the agreement, Tao Anran took the people to the courtyard of Divine Doctor Qu after the first kang panel was almost done.

Came to Miracle Doctor Qu, exchanged some pleasantries, and then started to work.In the room facing north and south, a wall was chosen as the fulcrum.Then they began to lay bricks around this wall, leaving a "ji"-shaped flue in the middle, and when they reached the appropriate height, they put on the mud boards on the kang surface.Afterwards, as long as the clay boards are thoroughly burned to make sure that the kang can be used normally, then you're done.

A circle of people surrounded the courtyard, waiting for the moment to witness this miracle.And Tao Anran ordered his servants to light a fire under the stove connected to the kang.There is also knowledge about burning a fire. At the beginning, the fire should not be too large to prevent the surface of the kang from being unevenly heated and cracked.It takes an hour to burn through the mud board with a uniform medium fire.

During the time when the kang was being fired, Tao Anran took Master Liu to go through the finished kang carefully to see if there was any place where smoke escaped.Fortunately, although it was the first time to set up a kang, but because everyone was careful, this kang was completed perfectly.

Tao Anran looked at the warm Kang, feeling very satisfied.He looked at Miracle Doctor Qu who was curiously stretching out his hand to sense the temperature, and said with a smile, "Doctor Qu, you need to burn it for a while. After the clay board is fully burned, you can sleep on this kang later."

Qu Zhishui felt the temperature of her fingertips, and looked at the heated kang in front of her, her heart was full of joy.Hearing the voice of the princess next to him, he came back to his senses.He quickly asked: "Princess, is this thing called a kang? I have never seen this kind of heating method. And how long will this fire last? I can't wait to try it."

Tao Anran replied: "Doctor Qu, don't worry, it will be ready in about a quarter of an hour. As for the kang, you will know it's ready after you use it. The weather is still cool now, so you may not use it much. Wait until the winter When it’s cold, I guarantee you won’t even want to get off the kang.”

Qu Zhishui was also very happy when he heard this.His ailments were brought from his mother's womb, and what he feared most was the cold weather. He used to stay in the valley where the seasons are like spring.Ever since I came to this Yunzhou, I have survived the winter.But now with this heated kang, this winter must be much more comfortable.

Tao Anran was very excited when the acceptance of the kang was successful.He felt that his Pan Kang engineering team could be established.

Seeing how the crowd surrounded the kang in novelty, Tao Anran announced that the other yards in the mansion would also be equipped with kangs.The servant's room is a little more spacious with a kang pan, which is turned into a large bunk, and a few people are crowded.A small Kang can be used for a smaller single-person room, which occupies a small area.

Except for some bricks on the heated kang, the remaining loess and sand are not valuable things.Except for Liu Laosi who was invited, the rest are people from the mansion.And Liu Laosi's employment salary is not high.In this way, the cost of setting up a kang is actually very low, which means that there is room for profit.

However, considering that Pan Kang is not a difficult task, it is estimated that others will be able to read it a few times.Therefore, the price should not be too high, and follow the route of small profits but quick turnover.

The first step is to get word of mouth out.The next step is to gradually expand the scale.In this way, even if it is a small profit, you can make a lot of money.

Tao Anran has figured out the next few steps of the Pan Kang engineering team, but the most important thing at the moment is still to improve the proficiency of everyone in the engineering team.

So in the following days, Tao Anran fixed all the kangs in the rooms of the palace.He even made a big heated kang in the room next door where he lives now.Just waiting for the weather to be cold, I burned the kang to keep warm.

Nearly ten days passed like this.Tao Anran could sense the cold weather in the north.When I go out in the morning, I can obviously feel that it is different from before, and the temperature will drop as soon as it drops.

After half a month of training, everyone in the heated kang engineering team, except Master Liu, can independently set up the heated kang.Therefore, Tao Anran decided that it was time for them to go out and make money.

For this reason, Tao Anran specially asked people to prepare new team uniforms.The clothes are made of wear-resistant and dirt-resistant materials and colors. There is a big "Kang" character on the back of the clothes, and "Pan Kang Engineering Team" on the front.Try to let people see at a glance what this team is doing.

Before making money, the leader speaks first as usual, which helps to confirm the leadership position and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

Tao Anran looked at the kang engineering team under him, and said seriously: "You have cooked so many kangs, and now all of them are proficient in craftsmanship. So I decided to set up a kang engineering team to let you go out to make money from kangs, and then according to the number of kangs Divide it for you.

So I will simply say a few requirements.First, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, don't look around when you are on the kang, and your hands and feet must be clean, so as not to damage the team's reputation.

Second, if someone watches you on the kang and wants to learn, let them learn.The tuition fee is three days' work in the team.Of course, let them remember the first rule I just said. "

After listening to Wang Hao's lecture, the people in the engineering team seemed a little puzzled.Could it be that the skills they had learned with great difficulty let others learn for free?But thinking of the high status of the princess, there may be other intentions.

But what they are most happy about is the share that the princess said.They are all servants of the palace, and their contracts of sale are all in the palace. Although they are usually paid, their wages are low.

This time, I was chosen by the housekeeper to learn the kang, I thought it was just a change of job, and I could learn a craft, I was already very grateful.And now wearing new clothes, more importantly, they didn't expect to get extra points, they were all enthusiastic.

At this point, the Pankang engineering team began to work officially.

As early as two days ago, Tao Anran had asked people to distribute leaflets outside, publicizing the kang.What's more, the price of pan Kang is not high, and people from ordinary families can also accept it.And at the same time, it also got three places for free kang, which attracted a wave of popularity.

And the three free kang places were carefully selected by Tao Anran.He asked everyone to inquire about his family background, he was an honest and responsible family, with many relatives in his daily contacts, and he was also a friendly family.

Once these people recognize the heated kang, they will be invisible billboards.It should bring a large wave of guests without traveling.At that time, the cost of these three free kangs will be nothing.

Today, the Pan Kang team is going to the first free house to Pan Kang.
