Queen of the World: Drunk in the World

Chapter 24 Renovating the Mansion
On the second day after entering the palace, someone quietly came to the palace and brought over the 20 taels of silver, as well as a large pile of rare and exotic grasses, Huang Yanyi ordered Shiqing to raise them with water.

After resting for a few days, Huang Yanyi also sorted out her thoughts, and Immortal's body was healed up. Fleeting Nian did all Zhou Xiangcang's work, and Zhou Xiangcang began to joke that he was too free.

On this day, the sun was shining and the weather was fine.

After breakfast, Huang Yanyi said, "Didn't Xiang'er think that you have nothing to do in the past few days, so I will let you do something today."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhou Xiangcang asked curiously.

"You all come with the king." Huang Yanyi pulled Zhou Xiangcang out of the hall door and came to the yard, "Immortal's body is also recovering today, just in time, let's work together to clear all the weeds up and down in the palace."

"Ah?" Shiqing opened her mouth wide!what!all!

"Ah?" Huang Yanyi stared at Shiqing's face, "Do you have an opinion?"

Seeing her prince's expression, Shi Qing didn't dare to speak, so she hurriedly picked up the hoe and ran out first.

Seeing Shiqing's actions, everyone did not hesitate and started weeding one after another.Huang Yanyi suffered from backache and backache for a long time, complaining in her heart that there are no pesticides in this era!Otherwise, it would be so hard to sprinkle a few barrels of pesticides into it?
"My lord, the carpenter and house builder have been found for you." Just as everyone was sweating profusely, Huayi walked in with a few workers in a chic manner.

"Yeah." Huang Yanyi straightened her waist and wiped her sweat, the sun shone on her beautiful face, she could not tell that she was a worker, "Follow me."

Huang Yanyi took the carpenters and workers through the entire palace and said, "These are brick walls, so there is no need to tear them down. But the king needs you to measure the length, and then nail dark wooden strips on the outside." Picking up a dark brown chopstick that had already been prepared, he said, "It's this color, can it be made?"

"Uh... my lord, do all the exterior walls of houses have to be covered with wooden boards of this color?" asked the leading carpenter.

"That's right." Huang Yanyi said, "In the palace, all the outer walls are covered."

"Yes, yes, but... the wages..." The carpenter was a little embarrassed.Just kidding, the Six Kings are notoriously poor, if it wasn't for this woman named Huayi who forced them to come, how could they come?

Huang Yanyi naturally knew their concerns, so she said, "Then according to Master, how much silver taels do you need?"

The carpenter looked at the palace and looked at the few people who were desperately digging grass in the distance. He shook his head and said, "Well, it's not easy for women to talk to the palace, but if all the outer walls of the palace are made of wood, it will be exposed to wind and sun , It must be rot-resistant, wear-resistant, sun-resistant and waterproof wood, such a large area plus labor, it will cost about 2 taels of silver."

Huang Yanyi smiled after hearing this, 2 taels, which is equivalent to 20 RMB in modern times, so she said, "I think it is extremely difficult for the master to receive such a big job. Is this price worth the weight? 2 taels, Yes, but how about nailing not only the outer walls but also the roof with the same timber?"

The carpenter thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but the roof is made of tiles. If you nail the planks, they will definitely break."

"Add more height to the original bricks, the tiles don't need to be removed, but leave some space between the tiles and the wooden boards, as long as the surface looks as elegant and unique as a country wooden house." Huang Yanyi said.

"Good idea! Admiration!" said the carpenter.

"Look, master, if you come to work in the palace every day, three meals a day are provided for the palace, how long will it take?" Huang Yanyi asked again.

The carpenter looked at the palace again, thought about it and said, "It will take about half a month."

"Okay! Then the king will pay you 1 taels of silver as the material fee first, and the remaining 1 taels will be settled for you after the completion of the work?" Huang Yanyi said lightly.

"My lord is refreshing! That's it!" The carpenter was also a cheerful woman. After finishing the negotiation, she sat down and signed an agreement. She took the money given by Huayi and left, saying that she would come to start work tomorrow.

Huayi looked at their leaving backs and said in confusion, "My lord wants to look like a wooden house in the country, just nail the outer walls with wooden planks, why is the roof still there?"

"This king has experienced life and death, and his temperament has changed drastically after waking up. In the future, many people may take the opportunity to inquire. Going to the door to inquire is the most stupid way, so we can only go from the roof. I don't want someone to lift the roof. You can know what the king is doing with the tiles. If the Ding is on the wooden board, there is no way out?" Huang Yanyi raised the corner of her mouth and said.

"My lord is really good at planning!"

"After removing the grass outside, fill up all the soil and pave bricks to make a martial arts training ground. In a few days, you start to recruit the guards." Huang Yanyi looked at the busy people outside and said to the painting.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Huang Yanyi thought for a while and said, "After beckoning to guard the courtyard, there will definitely not be enough places to live. You arrange for people to take out two-thirds of the backyard where the clothes are dried and build three small houses. The residence of the nursing home."

"it is good!"

"By the way, remember to build two toilets next to it."

"it is good!"
