Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

The Hu family's organizational ability may not be considered a big deal in Yingtian City.

But if it happened in Hujiazhuang, it would be extremely terrifying.

Because everything here is decided by Master Hu.

As long as it doesn't cause public outrage, no one will be able to do anything about it.

Because this was the reality in the feudal era, when imperial power did not extend to the countryside.

In this village, things generally follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

But when it comes to practical matters, it doesn’t matter what the law is or isn’t. I only care about the rules.

As for what rules are there?
Haha, what I say is the rule.

Since there is no need to worry about so many things, it will be easier for Master Hu to make arrangements.

The first thing is the construction of the venue.

For a winery, they can find ways to deal with everything else, except for water, which they really need to be extremely careful about.

If the water quality is different, the taste of the wine can be very different even if the process is the same.

Master Hu naturally knew about this matter.

Therefore, he simply started building a winery near the spring.

The idea is to reduce the water transportation distance and thus prevent water pollution.

This means close protection, which is the most convenient in Mr. Hu's opinion.

It can be used after a simple filtration not long after it flows out. This can definitely further improve the water quality in this era when water storage technology is seriously substandard.

In this era, building a house is actually a matter with a huge upper and lower limit.

Those top-notch places such as imperial palaces and royal mansions naturally have carved beams and painted buildings, and all kinds of rare building materials.

But the vast majority of people, or the general public, still use adobe, wood, thatch, bricks and tiles.

Mr. Hu doesn’t know anything about architecture, but he has money!
Not only is he rich, he is also prestigious!
As a result, Hu Yi didn't even need to take action. Instead, Hu Rong made a trip and brought over a construction engineer from the Ministry of Works.

"Master Sun, I'm sure Hu Rong has explained the work here to you clearly just now."

"My requirements are very simple, just strong and durable!"

"Oh, by the way, I just told you that this place is used for brewing wine, so you have to consider the ventilation issue as well!"

Upon hearing this, the craftsman from the Ministry of Industry, who was called Master Sun, waved his hands in fear.

"Master Hu, I will just give you any instructions you may have. I will never dare to call you my master!"

Seeing that Master Sun was almost shaking with nervousness like a quail, Master Hu was speechless.

He finally understood.

This old fellow is just a cowardly old hand in the Ministry of Industry.

What naming issue, what engineering issue, it’s all bullshit.

He actually just wanted to avoid trouble and do less work.

After seeing this, Mr. Hu understood how to deal with him.

"If you can get the job done for me, I'll give you fifty taels of silver!"

"I am very satisfied with your work. Two hundred taels!"

"You screwed up. You and your disciples in and outside the Ministry of Industry will be punished!"

"I won't kill you, but I'll ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to give you some trouble. I believe I can do it with a small piece of paper two fingers wide!"

"clear?"

When the craftsman surnamed Sun heard what Master Hu said, he felt as if someone had grabbed his throat. His eyes bulged slightly, his mouth couldn't close, and his face was full of horror.

Because what Master Hu said hit him right in the guts. For a master craftsman like them with a legacy, what really matters is his disciples and grandchildren.

Especially for someone like him who has six daughters but no son to carry on the family line, he has to rely on his disciples and grandchildren to offer sacrifices to him a hundred years from now.

As a result, Mr. Hu made a blatant threat.

What can he do?

Doesn't he believe that Mr. Hu can order officials from the Ministry of Works around?

Just kidding. As a veteran craftsman of the Ministry of Works, he knew very well how powerful Mr. Hu was when he was thrown into the Ministry of Works by His Majesty as a minister last year.

That was a time when even the Ministry of Industry had to obey orders and be scolded like a grandson.

All the rank and background are bullshit.

In front of Master Hu, what’s the point of talking about your rank and background?

It has been like this in the past, not to mention that today Mr. Hu is the Prince's Junior Tutor, the true number one among all officials.

It only takes a word to deal with a master craftsman in the Ministry of Works and his group of apprentices.

Anyway, it's not killing you directly, it's just torturing you to death.

For this kind of thing, there is no need for the Minister of Works or the Vice Minister to take action; one person in charge can get it done.

It was also because of this that Master Craftsman Sun became completely honest and went to survey the terrain and draw the construction blueprint in an orderly manner.

That’s right, draw a construction blueprint.

The construction drawings at this time are actually the architectural design drawings of later generations.

Perhaps these craftsmen do not have professional skills such as scale and three-view drawing.

However, the detailed construction standards and construction requirements for each part are absolutely drawn in great detail on this construction drawing.

And he was busy all day long.

Even though it’s just a winery, if it were the previous Master Craftsman Sun, he could probably get away with it by muddling through.

But now Master Hu is wielding both carrot and stick, so who dares not to be honest?

Therefore, he first drew the construction plan, and then found Mr. Hu who was strolling around with his daughter, and explained it respectfully.

"Master Hu, look, this is how I arranged it."

"As for the walls around here, since this is a winery, there will definitely be a lot of moisture and other things."

"Therefore, the method I arranged for you to cover the stone wall with rammed earth may not look that good, but it is definitely useful!"

"As for the wooden beams on the roof, we also took into consideration the protection from rain and rotting. I'm thinking of the wooden beams soaked in tung oil in the West Market!"

"That shop is also owned by an old craftsman. The quality is absolutely impeccable!"

"Of course, there are other building materials such as bricks and tiles. It depends on how you arrange them!"

"It's just that I don't know how you plan to arrange your wine cellar, so I didn't put it here in the winery!"

Mr. Hu took a look at the somewhat crude construction plan and silently calculated the occupied area and the usable area in his mind.

Then I suddenly realized that I had casually built a 2,000-square-meter workshop for myself.

But it’s pretty good!
He has his own people and his own land, and he can do whatever he wants!
After confirming the construction plan with Master Craftsman Sun, Master Hu turned around and began to arrange for Hu Yi to start digging next to his house.

This is what we need to build a large wine cellar!

After all, your own wine, after being stored in the cellar, can be sold at a higher price in the future.

After finishing these chores, Master Hu turned around and started another thing!

My good daughter has suffered so much in the past few years, so from now on, I have to make it up to her!
Let’s start with toys! (End of this chapter)
