Chapter 32: The Master Builder
After Sean rode back to the castle, Droux was already waiting for Sean in the hall.
"My lord, the master builder I mentioned yesterday is already waiting for you at the castle, do you need to summon you?"
Sean became interested, he had doubts about the architects of this world, after all, vision is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored, but for a famous architect, he still has certain expectations.
"Maybe this master can take on the task of building the city wall? Anyway, there won't be much loss, and it's good to see each other. Sean thought silently.
"Call here, let's meet this master and see if we can afford the title of master. ”
......
"Your Excellency, my lord, is well. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man who bowed in front of him, he was meticulously dressed and his hair was neatly combed, and there were a few gray hairs mixed in it, which was completely different from other refugees.
"Cory, right, I heard that you are a well-known architect in the Initial Continent, if Sean Island is designed and built by you, I don't know how you want to build it?"
"Lord Lord, the master builder does not dare to take it, but he is more proficient in the work of some masons. As for how to build Sean Island, it mainly depends on the lord, what do you think or what do you want, lord?" said Corey carefully, having had the experience of nine deaths, Corey is also more desperate now, and he doesn't dare to play any package tickets until he is sure of Sean's temper.
"I'm sure you've seen it too. My requirements are that the sanitary conditions must be guaranteed, the streets should be spacious, the groundwater should be dredged, the houses should be made of bricks, and the residential and commercial areas should be divided, and the toilets and fecal fermentation tanks should be properly designed to meet the requirements of the people, and as for the toilets and fecal fermenters, you can go and learn about them. ”
Sean thought for a while and said, he didn't know much about the planning of the city, so he could only say it according to the general planning of some cities in his previous life.
"By the way, Sean Island has a better coagulant: cement, I don't know much what the coagulant of your building is, but as long as the cement of Sean Island bonds two bricks together, the bricks are like a whole, and it is difficult to separate. Sean remembered the building's big killer: cement, added.
"Lord Lord, according to your requirements, I am afraid that the construction project of the initial collar will be relatively large, and the materials required will be relatively large, as for your request, Lord Lord, it should not be difficult to complete. And the cement you said, my lord, I have to witness and evaluate it with my own eyes before I can make a judgment. Corey still replied cautiously, he was already very skilled in planning a lord's building in the initial continent, but the lord in front of him might be more demanding, but this was not a problem at all.
Sean was satisfied with Corey's cautiousness and truthfulness, and said, "It's simple, you go to the kiln with me and test the effect of cement yourself." If it's as you promised, you'll be the chief builder on Sean Island, and you'll be in charge of the other masons. And I have a relatively large project for you to complete in the later stage. ”
On the way to the kiln, Sean rode his horse and Corey followed. Looking at the mud covered in Corey, Sean said: "By the way, the road plan of Sean Island should also be included in the scope of the building, I have had enough of these dirt roads, and I want all the main roads on Sean Island to be made up of concrete roads." ”
"Your Lord, it will be as you wish. Corey said breathlessly, Corey was also envious of Sean's means of transportation, but he also knew that it was just wishful thinking, and at present, Lord Sean Island and Lord Taylor are qualified to ride horses.
Soon, Sean and Corey arrive at the location of the kiln, where the people are in full swing. Since Joyce was still directing the construction of the salt pond, Sean could only call a random lord and bring out cement and a few bricks.
"My lord, is this what you mean by cement, is this really as amazing as you say?" Cory said questioningly, looking at the unremarkable powder in front of him. Then he suddenly remembered something, bowed down and said, "Lord Lord blames, it's not that you are suspicious, but just a comparative doubt?"
Sean shook his head and said, "Corey, you don't have to be too restrained, I'm not as scary as you think, as for whether it's what I said, you can test it." ”
Immediately afterward, Corey was instructed by the craftsman to glue the two bricks together with the cement behind the water, followed by a boring waiting time. When Sean's patience was almost exhausted, Corey exclaimed.
"My lord, what a magical alchemical product, do you know how much impact this cement can have on the building? It's amazing, it's amazing. ”
Seeing Corey's surprise, Sean smiled, for the other lords of Sean Island, they may not know much about the role of cement, but as a famous master builder, Corey must understand the role that cement can play in construction.
"Then can you plan the initial collar now, and the house building of the initial collar should be a three-story square building, and the unified planning. ”
Corey confidently patted his chest and said, "My lord, no problem, just leave it to me." ”
"Very well, you can communicate with Joyce, the administrator, and I'll let him know as well. Now you're coming with me to the beach, there's a bigger job for you to do. Sean saw the confident Cory, and the city wall that he originally wanted to postpone the construction couldn't help but come to mind again.
It was already afternoon when Sean Corey and the two came to the beach, and took Corey along the beach for a while, until Corey was too tired to stop.
Sean pointed to the beach in front of him and said, "Cory, if you are asked to build a wall 3 meters wide and 10 meters high along the border of Sean Island, I don't know what you think?"
"Impossible, this wall is really difficult to reach, not to mention the load-bearing problem of the beach, even the foundation cannot bear the weight of the wall at this height. Wait, maybe it can be reached. Corey had a look of disbelief on his face at first, but he suddenly remembered that today's magical object of cement might be achievable.
"Your Lord, you can stay away from the beach, choose a plot with relatively hard geology to build, and with the solidification of cement, you may be able to meet your requirements, Your Lord, but if you build a city wall along the beach of Sean Island, the project is expected to be very large. ”
"The amount of work is not a problem, if it doesn't work for a month, then half a year, if it doesn't work for half a year, then a year, as long as it can be realized. You plan the construction arrangement of the initial territory first, and there may be a significant increase in the population in the later stage, so the planning of the territory must be done well. Tomorrow you will arrange the work, first build an aqueduct to direct the water from the pool to the wheat fields, and then plan the construction of the road and the initial collar. Sean also happily dismounted when he heard that the plan could be realized, patted Corey on the shoulder and said.
"As you wish, my lord. ”
