The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 272 Building New Beds for the Soldiers

Lu Bu and Pang Tong were still discussing the size of the barracks and how many soldiers would live in each barracks.

The guard came with several craftsmen.

The craftsmen who came to Lu Bu were all masons who specialized in building houses.

Unexpectedly, they would be summoned by Lu Bu, and they all stood respectfully with their heads bowed, trembling slightly from excitement and nervousness.

"I just talked to Shi Yuan about building a house, and found that the barracks didn't have a foundation." Lu Bu asked, "Why didn't you lay a foundation? Could it be that one pillar in the room is expected to support the entire house?"

"Talk back to Marquis Wen." The leading craftsman said: "Sometimes the foundation is also to be laid, but it is just to build a hall or a wider house. Generally speaking, when building barracks and private houses, we mostly don't lay foundations. "

"There are many pillars in the room, and it is inconvenient to walk on." Lu Bu said, "From now on, all houses are not allowed to be supported by pillars, but are all supported by load-bearing walls and beams. Are you sure you can build such a house?"

Several craftsmen looked at each other in blank dismay. They really had never built the kind of house Lu Bu described.

In their impression, every house must have pillars.

Noble people even measure their identity and status by the number of pillars.

"Aren't you sure?" Lu Bu asked after the craftsmen didn't say anything.

"We just haven't built that kind of house before." The craftsman who was still in the lead replied, "Marquis Wen wants us to build it, so we can have a try."

"There is no such thing as a try." Lu Bu said, "If you want to make it, you have to make it look like it."

He pointed to the bluestones placed on the ground: "Create a foundation along the track where the bluestones are placed. The depth of the foundation must be at least half of the house. If the house has two floors, it must be as high as a room. Do you understand or not?" ?”

The craftsmen also laid the foundation when they built the hall, but the foundation they laid was not as deep as Lu Bu said.

Several craftsmen glanced at each other and bowed their heads in agreement.

Lu Bu continued: "Whether the house will collapse or not depends on the frame. As long as you build the frame well, generally speaking, it will be very difficult for the house to collapse."

"We'll take note of what Marquis Wen said." Several craftsmen agreed again.

The leading craftsman still asked uncertainly: "Dare to ask Marquis Wen, if there is no pillar support, if something goes wrong with the house..."

"If there is any problem, it is your responsibility." Lu Bu said without giving the slightest leeway: "The beams and rafters are closely connected, and the foundation is solid. Coupled with the high-quality materials used, it is difficult to think of any problems in the built house. "

Staring into the eyes of the leading craftsman, a faint smile floated on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth: "Although I don't know the specific construction methods, I have also heard that there are many gimmicks in building houses. If the craftsmen want to take advantage of them The good thing is that you only need to deduct some materials. I want you not to put pillars in the room, you can completely deduct materials, and when there is a problem with the house, you can push the fault all on me. "

"Don't dare!" When Lu Bu said this, several craftsmen were so shocked that cold sweat broke out down their spines.

They have been engaged in construction for many years, and they have indeed done such things as Lu Bu said, but they have not dared to make the house collapse.

"Although I don't really understand these things, someone will always understand." Lu Bu then said to them: "The place where the lieutenant soldiers live, don't play tricks with me!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, absolutely not!" The lead craftsman quickly agreed.

After explaining to the craftsmen, Lu Bu said to Pang Tong: "I just mentioned how many soldiers live in each barracks. I suddenly remembered something. I need Shi Yuan to accompany me to the next barracks."

"What did Marquis Wen think of?" Pang Tong asked.

"Although the Pengcheng military camp is not small, there are only a few barracks." Lu Bu said, "There are so many soldiers returning to Pengcheng now, I don't know if the barracks can still be accommodated."

"Fortunately, Marquis Wen asked craftsmen to make beds earlier." Pang Tong replied, "A few more beds are placed in each barracks. Although it is crowded, it can still fit in."

"Come with me to have a look first." What Pang Tong said, Lu Bu didn't have any idea about the crowded barracks, so he greeted him and walked out of the air force camp first.

The air force camp and the military camp are adjacent to each other. Lu Bu, accompanied by Pang Tong, came to the military camp, and Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and other generals came out to welcome them.

Zhao Yun asked: "Didn't Marquis Wen go to the air force camp, why do you have the time to come here?"

"The air force camp has not been built yet, and I have nothing to see there." Lu Bu said: "More and more soldiers are coming to Pengcheng. I worry that there will be too many people and too few barracks, and it will be very crowded."

The generals glanced at each other, and Chen Dao replied: "Marquis Wen guessed right, the barracks are indeed crowded, but the soldiers can bear it."

"When the soldiers went out with me, when they camped and slept in the open, they lived in a bit more crowded, but I can still see it." Lu Bu said: "Now that I am in Pengcheng, how can I see the soldiers suffering from the crowd? "

"Marquis Wen is sympathetic to the soldiers, and the soldiers of the three armies must be grateful for their kindness!" The generals bowed and thanked.

"Go to the barracks first." Lu Bu waved his hands.

The generals surrounded Lu Bu and walked towards the barracks where the soldiers lived. '

The soldiers who saw Lu Bu along the way stood by the side of the road and bowed in salute.

After choosing a barracks, Lu Bu opened the door and walked in.

In the barracks, several soldiers were sitting on the bed bragging about what they had experienced on the battlefield.

When they heard the door being pushed open, they all turned their heads to look over.

Seeing that it was Lu Bu entering the barracks, the soldiers quickly jumped up and stood upright with their chests straight.

The barracks are not spacious, and there are quite a few beds.

All the beds are almost pushed together, there is only a small open space just after entering the door.

"Is it crowded where you live?" Lu Bu stood on the open space before entering the barracks and asked the soldiers.

"I'm used to it, it's not crowded!" The soldiers answered in unison with their heads held high.

"Living in such a place, it's not crowded." Lu Bu smiled lightly, and told the generals behind him, "Please bring some carpenters over here. I'm going to build some new beds for the soldiers."

There were bunks in the barracks. Although they were crowded, the living conditions of the soldiers were much better than in the past, so no one complained.

When Lu Bu said that he was going to build a new bed, the soldiers in the room looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't believe it was true, and they didn't expect that the new bed could improve the crowded situation in the barracks.

Just as puzzled as the soldiers, there were also the generals.

I thought that Lu Bu would build more barracks, but I didn't expect that he just proposed to build new beds.
