Datang all-rounder

Chapter 56

Looking at the dismantled backyard, Wang Ke left only two stonemasons to draw the whole place, measure the size, and drive the rest of the people to the village.

It has been three days since the start of work, and I haven't been to the village once. I stay in the mansion every day, directing a few workers to demolish the houses, and sort and pile up the materials that can be used.After finishing here today, Wang Ke was really anxious to go to the village to see how far he had gone.

Driving to the village, Wang Ke called the housekeeper and asked him to lead the way to the place where the kiln was being repaired, but he saw twenty people working in full swing.

When Chen Shijiang saw Wang Ke coming, he stopped his work, ran over and said, "Young master, the old men at the kiln were asked to do it together. Now that there are enough people, the old man thinks it will be faster."

Wang Ke nodded and said, "That's good. We are short on time. If we can spare some time, we will grab some. Master Chen, is there any problem? If you have any questions, please tell me quickly. I will wait for the two masters in the mansion to take out the size and I will give you the size." I have to go, once I start designing the house, it may take several days before I can come, and then I can’t say anything.”

Chen Shijiang thought for a while before saying: "It seems that there should be no problem, but the young master has to pay close attention to it. This kiln entrance will not last long. Once this side is finished, I will go to the mansion, but Don't waste your time." Wang Ke patted his forehead and said: "I was so busy that I forgot to tell you, after the kiln is finished, you can't go to the mansion to start construction immediately, and I will take it for a few days. Time to teach you some professional things. The house I'm going to fix is ​​not the same as the one I have now."

Chen Shijiang had seen the work of the carpenters in the village, and knew that this young master was also teaching him, so he didn't ask why, and quickly said, "Okay, you can do what the young master says, as long as you don't miss the time."

Wang Ke smiled and said: "Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. First, I will explain to you how to do it. It is better than learning while doing it. Just follow my arrangement."

Wang Ke looked at the several kilns under construction and found nothing wrong. He bid farewell to the mason and hurried back. He wanted to rush back to design the style of the house.

Wang Ke rushed for three days and three nights in the dark and night, and finally drew the layout and style of the house in his mind on the computer. Unfortunately, he didn't have a printer (in fact, he couldn't print it even if he had a printer, because the Tang Dynasty didn't even have one). Electricity), Wang Ke had no choice but to draw on paper with a pen against the picture in the computer.When he drew all the blueprints, news came from the village that several kilns had been repaired.

Early the next morning, Wang Ke came to the village and watched the kiln workers take their positions and work in an orderly manner.After watching for a while, he turned around and went back to the village. He called all the masons together and began to teach the construction methods of later generations.

Of course, Wang Ke never thought about repairing a reinforced concrete building with dozens of floors. He just wanted to build his house into a typical Western villa in later generations, that is, two and a half floors. Add a nice landscaped garden.

Wang Ke told these people in detail the knowledge of simple decoration that he had learned. It was the first time for Chen Shijiang and the others to hear that there was such a method of repairing houses. The key point of what Wang Ke said.Wang Ke also understands that what I have learned cannot be learned in a few days, and I can only pick up the places that I need to use now, and I have to learn by doing in practice later on.

In a few days, Wang Ke had taught the masons almost enough, and a batch of lime and bricks had been fired. Wang Ke asked people to send these materials to the mansion, and at the same time arranged for the masons to start cleaning the site and laying out the wires. , Excavation foundation.But I stayed in the village and started trial production of cement.

Wang Ke still vaguely remembers that cement is made by mixing oilstone, lime, coal, and soil in proportion, and then going through several processes such as crushing, agglomeration, firing, and crushing.Wang Ke still remembers the ratio very clearly, and the equipment needed is relatively simple, but this method has been eliminated in later generations.However, in the Tang Dynasty, it could only be produced by this method, which can be called the local firing method, because if the new technology of later generations was followed, Wang Ke would not be able to implement it due to equipment problems.

After two days of trial burning, Wang Ke finally saw qualified cement appear in front of him.This time, Wang Ke was really confident.Except for the steel bars, all the materials to be used in the early stage are readily available.Wang Ke also had plans for this steel bar. When he was still repairing the kiln, Wang Ke had already asked Uncle Zhang to find a blacksmith to make a lot for himself, and moved it back to his house for storage.

Now the official start of construction can be carried out normally.Wang Ke arranged the progress of the project unhurriedly, and the workers who had undergone his short-term training were also working exactly according to the drawings. He knew that he should take action for Li Ke's matter now.
