Chapter 166: Summoning the Craftsmen

Soon, the people sent from the imperial court rushed to Chen Chu's place, ready to help Chen Chu from now on.

Chen Chu didn't say anything, and asked these people to find all the craftsmen they could find, and some master builders living in Chang'an had to be present.

He didn't know how long he could maintain his temporary abilities, so he had to train these people as quickly as possible.

It is better to give people and fish than to give them fish, as long as you can teach them, they will explore the architectural aspects by themselves in the future, and even they will benefit from it when the time comes.

Seeing that Lord Chen was very urgent, the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Labor were busy, running around non-stop, and even the craftsmen from the prefectures and counties near Chang'an were sent over.

Fortunately, there were great disasters in Hebei last year and Guanzhong this year, and there were many craftsmen and craftsmen who fled to Chang'an, some of whom had settled down, but were suffering from difficulties in making a living, and now they were called and immediately put on their best clothes and rushed over.

The whole morning in Chang'an City was dusty, and countless people and horses were ordered to lead craftsmen from all over the world, and even after Chen Chu started lecturing at noon, there were craftsmen arriving at Chen's Mansion in an endless stream.

Chen Chu asked people to prepare a large black lacquered wall, and then began to sketch on it with gray charcoal.

Because at this time, he mastered the master-level knowledge of civil engineering, and he prescribed the right medicine to teach these craftsmen all kinds of knowledge about building gymnasiums.

And when it got dark that night, he had already talked about cement, and had it lifted out, so that the craftsmen could feel the power of this buggy material.

There have been as many as thousands of people who have flocked to the Chen Mansion, and these people are at worst excellent masons of the people, and a small number of master builders are the core, and they are the main builders at that time.

As for the rest of the people's laborers, they can only be responsible for the work that is started.

Because there are many people, Chen Chu uses the loudspeaker he made to shout, and in order to ensure the light at night, not only countless lights are lit on the mansion square, but also hundreds of subordinates are flashlights, and the criss-crossing light avoids the direction of direct human eyes, making the night clear.

No one had ever seen such a big scene, and many craftsmen were unaware of it and were deeply afraid of Lord Chen.

As the cement dried up, people were surprised to find that these things, which were like mud half an hour ago, were tightly connected to the two bricks, were a little unbelievable.

How could there be such a strong adhesive paint in the world? Do you know how many gluing processes are required to fit the bricks when building them? How much time do you have to wait?

And this cement, which has not completely dried up yet, is almost stuck to the bricks, and will be returned tomorrow morning?

"You all live here tonight, the Chen Mansion will provide you with the items you use, and everyone can keep an eye on these two bricks, no one is allowed to approach, tomorrow it will be dawn, you will see for yourself if it sticks firmly."

Chen Chu said, today the Chang'an Cup has a day off, give the eight hundred chess masters screened out a time to recuperate, and tomorrow they will go to the imperial city, so he will stay at home all day today to teach these Tang craftsmen.

As early as daytime, the subordinates of the Chen Mansion made purchases in various places, such as bedding, mosquito nets, pillows, etc., and transported them to the Chen Mansion in a truckload, just to solve the accommodation problem of these craftsmen during this time.

And these craftsmen were also surprised to find that the thatched pit of Chen's Mansion was exceptionally clean, there were no flies and mosquitoes, and even the smell was not heavy.

You must know that because of the particularity of their profession, there are actually many people who go to the homes of large families, but no one has such sanitary conditions.

Even if you stay near the thatched pit of the Chen Mansion, you can't feel too strong a stench.

After asking, I learned that Lord Chen attaches great importance to the problem of the thatched pit, and has ordered to cover it with lime every once in a while to deodorize, and the house also bans clean barrels.

That is to say, people of such a noble status as him have to squat in the pit with them.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but it invisibly shortened the distance between him and everyone, and today Chen Chu personally took the trouble to preach to them those novel and unimaginable architectural knowledge, Chen Chu's status in their hearts was completely high.

"Okay, let's stay here for the time being, I'll treat you to a big dinner at noon tomorrow, and for the next half a month, I'm afraid you'll all have to stay here all the time and learn architectural knowledge from me."

"Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, if you don't learn your new knowledge, my gymnasium can't be easily started, after all, you have also seen the appearance of the drawings, not what you can build now."

Chen Chu stretched his waist and felt thirsty to death.

Everyone said yes, very respectful to Chen Chu, and after seeing him leave, they discussed and got into their respective tents.

At this time, the famous and surnamed architects of the Tang Dynasty and near Chang'an were all requisitioned by Li Er, and the reputation of even the top craftsmen in the Chen Mansion was worse.

Many people have insomnia tonight, it's not that they can't sleep in this tent, and they have more time to sleep in the open because of work.

It is mainly the impact of today's new knowledge of Lord Chen, reinforced concrete, scaffolding, material grading, etc., all of which are unheard of.

Chen Chu was busy here, and Li Er's side was also not ambiguous at all.

After all, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the craftsmen recruited in a short period of time is only stronger than Chen Chu, but the number is less, he didn't expect Chen Chu to work so hard today, and when he remembered to find someone, many people had already left for Xuanyangfang.

"Lingnan and Hebei have already passed on the book, and they will use the fastest speed to transport the beams and the best timber, and the letter should have arrived today in the big forest near the Qinling Mountains, and the first batch of timber will be delivered tomorrow."

"As for the bricks and stones, we don't need much, the storage in the imperial city is almost enough, and the stones needed for steps, sitting platforms, etc. have also been left by craftsmen to investigate in Chang'an."

"As for the site selection, it has also been decided, just in Xinghuafang, near the Imperial City, near the West Market, near Zhuque Street, a large piece of land with an area of almost 80 acres, all the redundant buildings and houses will be ready to be demolished tomorrow, and the related compensation and relocation work is also a small matter."

The eldest grandson Wuji and others, as Li Er's think tank, can be said to be extremely excited this time.

This is the first duel between them and Chen Chu, and the construction is probably still a big project that has attracted worldwide attention, and the two badminton courts comparable to palaces in one breath will be what kind of grand occasion will it be?

After Li Er finished talking to them about the matter, he sighed.

"Alas, since ancient times, there has never been such a ridiculous thing, and the construction of a large project comparable to a palace is just for play, or a game that has never appeared before."

"Thinking about the Afang Palace, it is indeed extravagant, but it is also where the harem concubines live, and our badminton court is naturally impossible for people to live in."

"I only hope that no one in the future will scold me for being a faint king."
