On the erection day, Wen Cheng woke up early in the morning; Chen Wan hurriedly opened the door, only to see Su Jian and Niu Erma standing respectfully in the courtyard.

The courtyard was cleaned, and the water tank was about to overflow; Even the purlins above the pillars and eaves have been cleaned, and I really don't know how the three of them did it on tiptoe.

Chen Wangang wanted to go into the stove room to make a morning meal, but was stopped by Niu Er's words: "Master... Madam, rest, morning food, the villain is ready; Ladies and gentlemen are invited to wash up and eat. ”

casually made do with the morning food, Wen Cheng instructed Su Jian to go to Ning Niangzi's house, and in her house, continue to distill the essential oil of carob; Myself......

Just then, I heard a knock at the door.

When Ma Da opened the door, Wen Cheng recognized him as a handyman in the county temple.

The handyman saluted respectfully to Wen Cheng in the courtyard: "Lord Wen, the villain is here to inform Lord Wen, if you have time, please go to the old county warehouse to have a look." If you need anything or manpower, please go to the warehouse to find Lord Cao Gou. ”

is clueless, but Wen Cheng knows in his heart: This must be the county prince, settling everything in secret.

The miscellaneous servant saluted again: "Lord Wen, the villain went first, and he still needs to inform the cangtou of the old county warehouse." ”

After thanking the miscellaneous servants, Wen Cheng led the three strong men with Liujia and went out.

This kind of food is normal for Wen Cheng; But Niu Erma and Su Jian, how could they have eaten such delicious food?

With Niu Erma, Wen Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and went straight to the old county warehouse.

The subordinates who make Shangguan want to clean up the most are not the kind of stupid ones, nor the kind of capable ones, but the ones who are not long-sighted and give instructions to Shangguan, and don't do it immediately!

…………

When they arrived at the county warehouse, the two men had already opened the door of the warehouse and were waiting in front of the passage. Wen Cheng went inside and carefully observed the geography.

I saw a square storage place, plus a passage, which is the "convex" shape that men dream of, covering a wide area. Because it is cleaned and maintained all year round, it is still very tidy everywhere.

Because it was a storehouse for storing grain and money in the county in previous years, and rats were taboo, six tall and spacious warehouses, the foundation and the wall one zhang high from the ground were all piled up with huge stone bars; On top of the stone strips, the walls were made of bricks, and covered with tiles.

If you poke it with a bamboo pole, all that falls is money! Qin bricks and Han tiles, this is much more valuable than the "First Emperor Night Pot" in the antique shop.

Since it is a warehouse, it will often turn over the grain and cloth, and the entire courtyard dam is paved with stone slabs that are unfolded; The sewers are divided into yin ditches and yang channels, which are wide and dense.

Around the warehouse, a wall was built with stones to isolate the county warehouse from the surrounding houses and shops; There are also many ancillary facilities: the guarded Ding Yong barracks and Menzi's duty room; Stove room, division said, small room several.

These materials and facilities, when the restaurant and hotel are built, can save a lot of copper money for the text.

…………

Wen Cheng said to Niu Erma Avenue: "You two work all year round, you must know a lot of craftsmen?" Go to the thirty or fifty masons, carpenters, and stonemasons; Several carvers and flower bed artists need good craftsmanship and dexterous craftsmen. It is necessary to rush to work day and night, eat and live on the construction site, and step up construction day and night; The salary is according to the market, and three meals are managed. ”

Ma Da replied respectfully: "Division... My lord, it's not difficult to find a craftsman. In the village of our two brothers, there are many craftsmen who come out to do the work. Can... My lord, why don't you just leave the food alone? Now that I have been paid enough wages, I have brought some bran and vegetable nests, pickles and radishes, and I can let go of my belly and eat to my heart's content, which is the best food for these suffering people! ”

Niu Er saw that Wen Cheng was silent, and said cautiously: "My lord, what Martha said is also the truth. Supposedly, we shouldn't say such things; They are all people who come out together to work and suffer, and the villagers are related to their relatives. It is of course a good thing to be able to eat hot and good meals, and Martha is also ......"

Wen Cheng waved his hand: "Needless to say, there is no need to save copper coins for me." I need to do my best to build this place; There are many details, which are not what you do on a daily basis. You two just look for the ingenious master who has been working for many years, don't find me two knives, always floating under the lightning! ”

Although he didn't understand how the two knife craftsmen could pull lightning, he understood the intention of Lord Wen: the construction period should be tightened, and the craftsman should be ingenious. The salary is sufficient, and the extra three meals are managed.

This is a good job that is not easy to encounter, not to mention the treatment, and the project is not small. In this regard, it is much better than doing the work piecemeal.

The two went out rejoicing.

…………

As soon as the two left, Wu Gen slipped in.

Seeing Wen Cheng, Wu Gen said: "Second uncle, my father asked me to come and see why the second uncle needs to run errands." Second uncle, you just have to give orders. ”

It turned out that Wu Liang was called to run errands and deliver letters early in the morning, and it was really not close to Laojun Mountain for a trip.

Laojun Mountain, more than 60 miles north of Han'an County. This mountain is endless, and the main peak is like an inverted pottery bowl; Legend has it that it was the Taoist monarch of heaven who accidentally dropped the jade bowl to the mortal world.

The main peak is surrounded by steep slopes and dense forests, and the highest point is the protrusion at the bottom of the bowl, pointing straight to the sky; There is only one stone step that is dug out up and down along the gap between the mountain and rock, and it is a real place where "one man is not open".

There are mountain bandits who are called "stick bosses" by the Sichuan people here, and they make a living by farming and plundering passing merchants for many years.

It is said that there are many wild people gathered here; They are also cultivators and bandits, especially officials who have come and gone to and from office, and they are most afraid of robbers here.

Qianwei County, the county lieutenant and the school captain have led troops to suppress, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were scattered into the ravine, and few bubbles did not emerge; In the end, hundreds of soldiers were lost, and they returned in vain.

On the contrary, the grain and grass in the warehouse in Han'an County can starve to death to mice.

Since then, the people of the Han'an County Temple, officials of all sizes, have learned from the lessons and learned from the pain.

When encountering those who were robbed, most of the bitter masters who came to the county temple to report the case were kind and pleasant, and tried their best to appease; swore that he would definitely send soldiers from the county to conquer and suppress, but in fact he would not even record a file;

It will not be reported to the county.

If the robbed officials used their personal friendship to stab Yizhou or Qianwei County, Han'an County only mobilized hundreds of county soldiers and lazily went to Laojun Mountain to take a walk.

- Go and return, fight and fight, and count separately.

Anyway, every time I went decently, I came back with a banner and a disgraced face, but the soldiers didn't lose a single ...... Exceptions are those who have broken their feet, been bitten by snakes and scorpions, and have been injured in a ditch.

…………

Since Wu Gen was here, there was nothing to do, so Wen Cheng sent Wu Gen to hire a big car and go to his own field. Look at the two families attached to them, they are all neatly packed; Now there is this vacant county warehouse, to settle these people, just right.

Wencheng expects to build a restaurant here, which will require 1,500 copper coins; The hotel needs to invest 2,000 yuan, which is roughly estimated according to the "Yanqi Building" as a shoe sample.

Because I don't understand the market of various building materials, carvings, and decorations. I have only heard one ear: that Yanqi Building invested nearly 2,000 times back then!

At that time, the news caused a sensation just like someone investing in the construction of a five-star hotel in a small impoverished county.

Now the restaurant hotel that Wencheng wants to build is much larger than Yanqi Tower, which is four or five times larger than Yanqi Tower.

It stands to reason that these 3,500 are far from enough.

…………

And listen to the text to give you a detailed explanation: the cost of repairing a house and building a house is nothing more than buying land, buying building materials, labor, and final decoration.

These kinds of expenditures basically account for 20% each; The decoration costs a little more money. On average, these account for roughly eighty percent of total expenditure.

…… The remaining two percent?

For the rest, feed the wolves.

The Yanqi Building is a group of buildings that buy other people's land and rise from the ground. On the Wencheng side, there is no need to pay for land;

There is no need to feed wolves and honor hyenas from all sides.

Artificial? There is a project in which the county lieutenant participates, and the conscripts who are levied every year are asked to dig ditches and repair city walls, which is repair; Isn't repairing a restaurant for your own home? Don't worry about the food, the conscripts bring their own rice grains, cook their own meals and eat pickles by themselves!

If it weren't for Wen Cheng's three views, do you believe the thief Cao and the prison history, these two cut goods, dare to pull a group of prisoners over for you? These prisoners still don't have to pay or take care of food...... In the county prison, is it okay to have free food itself?

It's just that they are pulled over to work, and they don't deduct their food, just replace the moldy bean porridge with normal bean porridge.

…………

Building materials? This old warehouse already has a lot of building materials.

Insufficient building materials, hehe...

Report to Shangguan: The county prison is leaking, and it's about to collapse!

Hmm, apply for repairs, how can you kill the prisoner! It's just that this renovation must be done according to the standard of "building high-quality products and building century-old buildings". Give the official enough materials!

As for the county jail in the end, it is still leaking......

Well, these abominable contractors! It's too unconscionable, you must investigate it strictly, and give a satisfactory explanation to the officials and prisoners!

What? Why did you renovate the county jail and use Nanmu?

-- It is used to make torture tools and tiger chairs.

This one has to be strong and durable, don't you know, those outlaws who kill people and set fires, the skin is thick!

As for why the thick nanmu is hugged, it is made of a torture stick with a rolling pin...... Well, the carpenter was a butcher turned career, and he was sharpening and cutting... That's all there is to it! The next time the official must pay attention, he must not use the butcher as a carpenter!

It's so unprofessional.

…… Report to Shangguan: Although the new warehouse is large, after the old warehouse is gone, there is no reserve warehouse in the county, in case of emergency, ask to build another warehouse!

Hmm, yes! You can take precautions and be good! That's right.

- The third nephew of my brother-in-law's second uncle is a qualified contractor...

Although the restaurant here was built in the front, the county was built in the back...... You won't let the bricks and timber sellers pull the materials to the restaurant construction site first, and finally go through the procedures and change the date, isn't it over?!

Stupid!

The building materials, if you don't want to have as many as you want, you can have as many as you want?

…………

Therefore, it is very convenient for Wen Cheng to not lose this small job of "Gong Cao Zuo Official".

The benefits that this hundred-stone little official can bring, hehe, the mouse drags the wood, and the big one is still to come......
