Queen Of Medicine

"I haven't said, why not?" Zhuo Xi said anxiously.

"I know. Don't you just want to change the yard?"

"Since the Marquis knows that the Marquis house is so big, is it difficult to change a yard?"

"It wasn't difficult, but when you came, it became difficult." Jing Yuan gently turned the jade cup in his hand and said.

"What does that mean?" Zhuo Xi was a little confused.

"Xi'er didn't know. Last night, the southwest corner of the inner courtyard was flooded, and the yards in the West and South were burned down."

"Listen, the water Pavilion is in the East. What about the north?" Burned? Why didn't she know there was a fire last night?

"There is a Qingyuan Pavilion in the north, which is very remote..."

"No, no, it doesn't matter to be far away. Walking more can also exercise. " Zhuo Xi said hurriedly.

"Unfortunately, housekeeper Zhou just reported that Qingyuan Pavilion may have been uninhabited for many years. A acacia tree in the corner of the courtyard grew too tall to bear the weight. It broke down and collapsed the main house of Qingyuan Pavilion." He listened, and sure enough, the man hiding in the dark disappeared with a cry, and his face showed satisfaction.

What he didn't know was that Jianrong was pulling Ziran to fly to the southwest corner. While flying, he called Jianyi. The three met. Jianrong said quickly, "Ziran, you go to burn the Furong house in the West; Jian Yi, you go and cut down the acacia tree behind Qingyuan Pavilion on the back, so that it just collapses the main house. If it doesn't collapse, you can do it yourself; I'll go and order the Hefeng hall in the south. "

Jian Yi shouted, "why am I cutting trees? You two light a fire? "

Jianrong despised him, "because you are the heaviest."

At this time, Zhuo Xi sneered, "then in this way, there is only the linyue pavilion where the Marquis lives, right?" What's the matter? What else doesn't she understand so far?

He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "linyue Pavilion is located in the middle of the inner courtyard. It's still a distance from the lake. It shouldn't hurt your sleep. Xi'er can think about it. "

Zhuo Xi said twice, "last night, there was water in the southwest. How could I know?"

"Ben Hou was around last night. You must have slept well in Xi'er. If you don't believe it, look, those two places are still smoking! "

She looked up and smiled angrily. Is that the cigarette just lit? Didn't you hear the cry just now? Shameless, too shameless. At the same time, it was a big loser. Three houses were destroyed in one sentence.

She took a deep breath, "Lord, since the three courtyards in the southwest and North have been damaged, they must be repaired. Slaves and maidservants can repair them without spending any money in a month. Do you believe it or not? "

"Miss, I've seen how to use things. But if Xi'er doesn't spend money, how can she buy repair materials? Can Xi'er do tricks? " Naturally, he didn't believe it. Even if she had the power of heaven, she couldn't make materials out of thin air.

"I can't juggle, but I can buy materials for free from the merchants who provide materials."

"Ha ha," Jing Yuan laughed, "Xi'er, you may not know the current price. If you ask for a piece of food and a ladle of drink, others may be able to give it. But if you repair these three houses, you need at least 3000 Bu coins, which ordinary six grade officials can't earn all their life. Where will businessmen be willing to provide it for free? "

"Lord, you don't have to worry about these. You just need to lend me the craftsmen in the house. I won't spend a penny to repair these three houses in three months. In these three months, how can I make it and what kind it will cause? The Marquis shall not intervene. Of course, I will certainly not harm the interests of the Hou house, and I will also pay attention to the confidentiality of other parts of the Hou house. "

"What if it can't be repaired?"

"Lord, let's make a bet. If I have repaired it, please allow me to move any repaired room. How? "

"OK. But there is something in the house. You can ask for it as long as it's not money. What if you lose? "

"There is no such possibility."

"Everything is possible."

That's right. "Well, if I lose, Lord hou can make a request to me. As long as I can do it, I will follow."

Three days later, the sound of ramming earth to hit the foundation was first heard in the houses in the west of Hou's house. Zhuo Xi stood on the cleared space in high spirits and commanded the craftsmen to broker the soil and dig the land.

Most of the houses in this era were made of wood, and the walls were supplemented by bricks and stones. On that day, when Zhuo Xi made an on-the-spot investigation, she had only one feeling - that Jingyuan was a complete black sheep. In order to force her to live in tingshuixuan, she was willing to really burn down the two houses. It was a real burning down. All the beams and roofs were burned down, leaving some broken walls. She sighed a few times and decided to rebuild it on the ruins first“ Girl, the first batch of stone and wood have been transported. " Kou Niang hurried in through the door.

She was the first person who heard that the Marquis was going to build a house. The notice of "free solicitation of building material suppliers" written by Zhuo Xi was posted outside Hou's house for two days. On the third day, Kou Niang finally knocked on the side door of Hou's house, and was ceremoniously welcomed by Xianglan to tingshuixuan where Zhuo Xi lived. Zhuo Xi was overjoyed to see that the woman who came to bid was a smart and capable woman. They were locked in the house and plotted for a long time. They went to the inner courtyard of Hou's house to check the situation on the ground. They clapped their hands excitedly and signed a contract full of five pieces of paper. So Kou Niang, who was originally only engaged in the timber business, became the only general contractor of the three model houses in the Hou house in an instant, and Zhuo Xi was the technical guidance. Xianglan kept a record. Although it was in the clouds, she was also very excited. She couldn't imagine how the house in Miss's idea would be realized. Once it was realized, it was absolutely unique in Kyoto.

After this detailed discussion, Kou Niang strongly demanded to use her own craftsman team. Such good technology trained the craftsmans of the Marquis house in vain, but did not carry it forward. It was a bit outrageous. Therefore, with the consent of Jing Yuan, Zhuo Xi then signed a supplementary agreement with Kou Niang on the construction team. In an instant, Zhuo Xi became the technical director with 30% of the shares of the construction team. The next day, all the craftsmen of Kou Niang's "log firm" entered Hou's house to start work. The craftsmen of Hou's house had already wrapped and isolated linyue Pavilion and tingshui pavilion with large pieces of wood overnight. Zhuo Xi looked at the two meter high wooden partition wall and sneered. When my mother built the third floor, you had to wrap up the windows.

Zhuo Xi looked at the charming Kou Niang and said with a smile, "I'll see how big the stone is. The base wood can be polished for standby. "

As she led her back into the yard, Mrs. Kou introduced a young man standing next to her and said, "this is the son of my husband's uncle. His name is Kou Andie. Although I am now in business, my husband's family is a craftsman. Although my ancestral carpentry is not unique, it is also fine. After my husband died, my uncle felt pity for my orphan and widowed mother who had no source of livelihood, so he gave me the wood facade they tampered with. An Jie was very interested in building wooden houses since he was a child. He studied from yuan an, a wood making master in neifu for three years. Yesterday I was talking about him. " Her daily income from timber business is low, and the cost of this project is quite large. Even if she takes out all her savings, she can't eat it. She has to borrow part of the printing money from the black market and then borrow part from her uncle. If she can default on other expenses, she will default. But Uncle heard that she was going to borrow money to build a house for Hou's house, so he strongly demanded that her son Kou Andie come in for an internship and promised to lend her money unconditionally. When she was hiring people, she naturally agreed.

Zhuo Xi also understood that the status of businessmen in this era was low and their income was far lower than that of scholars, peasants and workers. Therefore, Kou Niang's uncle will sell the wood business like chicken ribs without any objection. I don't know if Kou Niang operates properly after this cooperation, will the wood business become a pastry in their eyes? However, looking at the clarity of Kou Anli's eyes, she really needs a chief designer and chief builder. Let's try it first.

She stopped, turned and walked back, pointed to the deep pit where the craftsman was driving the pile and asked, "according to the childe, how deep should this wooden pile be driven?"

He poked out his head and looked carefully, "this is a sandy soil layer, which should be pile six eaves nine. If the stake is driven six feet, it can support a house nine feet above the ground. "

Zhuo Xi nodded, "if it's based on stone?"

He was stunned. "Does the girl mean to stick a log on a stone?" What he just said is the weight-bearing of this method.

She shook her finger. "No, the method of deeply wedging a log into a stone hole is out of date. The girl will set up foundations and piles with stone columns at the same time, and then connect the stones on all sides and pave them into a square to become the load-bearing wall foundation of the house. " She has seen the original foundation of the house. Only the stone holes embedded in the soil are flattened with wood, and how deep they can be embedded, and then buried in sand and soil to make minimalism.

Kou Anli thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly brightened. "If the stones can be firmly connected, the bearing capacity can be greatly improved. If the pile is six feet, the building can be at least three feet high. But how can stones be firmly connected? "

"Of course, you can see it tomorrow." Zhuo Xi asked her answer and nodded with satisfaction. It's good. Three feet is nine meters. You can build three floors.

An Jie was very excited and deeply worshipped, "please teach me." He almost felt that a breakthrough revolution in architectural technology was coming.

She was a good young man who made progress in school. She stretched out a hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhuo Xi. You can call me Zhuo Xi."

Kou Anli was a little at a loss. He was stunned and quickly arched his hands. "I should serve you, sir. I dare not."

"There's nothing to dare," Zhuo Xi withdrew her hand and shrugged her shoulders. "You are the nephew of Kou Niang, and you seem older than me. It's not appropriate to call me an adult, so call me Zhuo Xi. Since Kou Niang introduced you to take charge of the construction, you must be very professional. Then, let's talk about the details of the confidentiality agreement first. "

"Confidentiality agreement?"

"That is, adults only impart technology to you. You can't impart technology to others at will." Kou Niang is already familiar with her vocabulary.

Kou Anli quickly saluted again. "I understand that the secret skills passed by adults will not be passed on to the outside."

"No, not only can it not be spread out, but the relevant details of our project also need to be kept confidential. Come on, let's talk here. " Zhuo Xi took them to a temporary firewood house in the backyard. No way, her listening Water Pavilion was isolated, so she had to use it as a temporary office. The construction site has the standard configuration of temporary activity room.

The next day, Zhuo Xi received the first batch of iron bars, nails, rivets, hammers, axes and other tools and utensils sent by Ma San from the mine. She drew a drawing a few days ago, indicating the number of people sent to the mine for Ma San to build. Since the mine has been nationalized, all the artifacts she built should be purchased at a marked price. Of course, it will only be Kou Niang who pays.

She asked people to smash the stones, bury the iron bars in the middle, and then mix fine sand with glutinous rice slurry for irrigation to make a huge stone column row. The finished shape was used as the foundation, and then the same stone column was used as the foundation every other meter, and then the solid soil was buried before she began to make the floor. After that day, Kou Anli was completely possessed and lived in the temporary office. Zhuo Xi often drew structural drawings in the house, while Kou andI could immediately match materials and tools, especially seeing the great use of iron nails, and sighed that it was time-saving and labor-saving. At this time, there are already rough bricks and stones. Zhuo Xi uses large rocks as the load-bearing wall and thinner bricks and stones as the partition wall in the house. The windows and eaves are still made of exquisitely carved wood. The roof is made of tiles painted by Zhuo Xi and fired by brick burning craftsmen. When the tiles were delivered that day, andI squatted on the ground and studied the usage of the tiles for a long time. I really don't know why this sheet should be made into an arc. Until Zhuo Xi showed him how to stack tiles, he was overjoyed immediately.

Sure enough, when the building was repaired to the second floor, Zi Ran came to protest. He said that the craftsman stood so high that he had a panoramic view of the whole terrain of the Marquis house. Is there any privacy? Zhuo Xi smiled calmly, "Lord Hou occupies my bed every night. Do I still have privacy?" She could only find a small couch to put by the bed, but somehow she would run to the bed in the morning. Besides, the linyue pavilion has already sealed the windows and doors. Even the corridor is extravagantly surrounded by silk. Even the telescope can't see what the people inside are doing. It's called no privacy?

Son ran touched his nose and made a gesture of closing his mouth and wiping his neck towards an stile whose eyes were about to pop out. Seeing that he shrank his head wisely, he left and was ready to return the original words to the marquis.

Although she was very busy here, Zhuo Xi didn't forget her own work and had to go to Jingyuan on duty from time to time. In order to balance work and spare time, she and Jing Yuan agreed to be on duty for two hours in the morning and afternoon in these three months, and she was off work in the rest of the time. Jing Yuan actually agreed, saying that there should be fresh dishes every ten days. Since she taught zhenniang to cook Beijing roast duck in the mine, Jing Yuan has been thinking about her cooking. She not only often asked her to cook delicious food, but also sometimes ordered dishes. The first time she was asked to remake Beijing roast duck, Zhuo Xi satirized him, what "why don't you feed the cat" and "silver needle? Where is the silver needle? " Wait a minute. Zi Ran begged grandma to sue Grandpa, saying that he wanted to catch the cat from Huling villa to vent his aunt's anger. Zhuo Xi twisted her waist and rolled a piece of roast duck and put it on the plate in front of Jing Yuan. Since then, it was out of control. There must be a new staple food every day, so that Zhuo Xi had to modify her recipe and rack her brains to teach some delicious dishes to mother Wang. After tossing for half a month, we finally had more than a dozen dishes to eat in turn, and everyone calmed down for a while.

After the decoration of the first model room, Zi Ran came again. This time, he asked Kou Niang to be present and said that he had something to say.

"Kou Niang, you've worked hard."

"Oh, Lord Zi Ran, what are you talking about. I have the opportunity to build a house for Hou's house. It's really a blessing I've cultivated for several generations. Where can I talk about any hard work. " The flattery on Kou Niang's face made Zhuo Xi instantly think of the Bustard in the brothel and shiver.

"This house costs you a lot, doesn't it?"

"Look what you said. It's really an eye opener for my family to build such a luxurious building for the first time. What's the cost? The three floors of this building cost a total of 1100 bucks. The main reason is that the stone is cheap and saves a lot of wood, but after all, the three floors are built, and all kinds of materials cost a lot. "

Zi Ran was surprised, but his face suddenly became serious, "how many craftsmen are there in your group?"

Seeing that he looked bad, Kou Niang stammered, "a total of 36 people."

Zi Ran asked again, "are these craftsmen registered by the government?"

"That's it, that's it. They're all craftsmen with books to check. Sir, they... "

"Princes and dukes always build houses and tombs. It's all the craftsmen who signed a dead deed in our house. Now you not only use living contract craftsmen, but also build high-rise buildings. You must have known the terrain of Hou's house for a long time? Do you know what happens to these craftsmen? "

Kou Niang and Kou Anli on one side were stunned. "Plop", they knelt down, "Sir, they have signed a confidentiality agreement and will never say it." Kou Anli's logic is clear. Kou Niang has been paralyzed on the ground.

"Thirty seven people, how can you guarantee that no one will reveal it? As long as one person divulges, the safety of the Marquis cannot be guaranteed. If something happens to the Marquis, these 37 people and you two are irreparable! "

Kou anding had no face. He looked at Zhuo Xi and suddenly lit up a little hope, "Miss Zhuo Xi, you still have two houses not built. They can't die!" But if both are built?

Everyone present thought of the loophole of this sentence.

"No, no, they can't die in the future." Added coantian incoherently.

Zhuo Xi also sighed, "they must not die.". Not only more than thirty innocent lives, but also the training results she has worked hard for a month. This team must become a pioneer in the reform of the construction industry. How can it die so easily? Besides, she also holds 30% of the shares of this team. Although she has no income in the past three months, it is just around the corner to become a big real estate developer in the future. How can she say that it will be gone without it?

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood“ Yes, they will not die. "
