On the day Li Yuanjia arrived at the dumping workshop, a group of carpenters stopped their work and began to urgently build new tools for their colleagues who were about to arrive.

Frame saws, planers, rulers, rectangular rulers, compasses, protractors......

Anyway, at least twenty or thirty sets of these things designed by Li Yuanjia for them at the beginning, especially the most commonly used planers, must be one per person!

For the carpenters in the Zhenguan period, this is a set of artifacts.

In particular, frame saws and planers are definitely artifacts that greatly improve production efficiency, and they are much more powerful than the tools they used before, such as one-handed saws and files. For this reason, Chen Mu took out almost all the inventory, and at the same time asked the blacksmiths to order more saw blades and blades for planers.

These things are consumed very quickly.

The main reason is that the quality of steel is not up to par, and the inferior products of the previous month can be used in the future, and they are all the best of the best in this era, and there is no comparison.

Therefore, Chen Mu has been preparing a large number of accessories here, which is to replace them when they are damaged.

Just right, I used it all.

While the carpenters were preparing and waiting for the arrival of the three hundred people in the palace, Li Yuanjia returned to his house and began to plan gifts for the princess and her sisters.

In the Zhuangzi outside the city, there is also a set of his two bedrooms and two living rooms.

This is last year Li Yuanjia specially let Zhang Wan build, the area is not very large, but all kinds of organs, in addition to the fireplace, chimney and other new things, because the original site was located in a mountain spring for the sake of the cause, but also deliberately introduced the tap water system...... Real living water, don't worry about rotting and smelling because there is no disinfectant.

Of course, glass is also indispensable.

If it weren't for the fact that the glass made now was too brittle and would rot if it was hit a little, Li Yuanjia even planned to ask Chen Mu to open a few skylights on the roof to make the room brighter.

However, in comparison, the house is already very comfortable now.

Taking a sip of the tea that Liu Mei had just brewed, Li Yuanjia pondered for a moment and began to draw on a blank piece of paper.

This blank sheet of paper has a large area.

To put it simply, it is the largest white paper that Wang Pu's paper workshop can make, about the size of one zhang by one zhang, and it uses the same paper as the playing cards...... In other words, the price of this paper alone can be more than usual! If it is caused by solitaire, I am afraid that it will not be able to sell dozens of times.

But at this time, under Li Yuanjia's pen, it is just an ordinary blank paper, the kind that can be thrown away at any time if you make a mistake.

After holding the pen and looking at it for a long time, Li Yuanjia finally drew the first stroke on the white paper.

Chunyan and Liu Mei, who were waiting on the side, kept looking curiously, and then saw Li Yuanjia drawing a big rectangular frame on the white paper with a ruler. The frame was about half a foot wide, and when it was almost about to circle the white paper, the lively Liu Mei finally couldn't help but speak: "Wang, what are you going to draw?" ”

If Han Shan or Han Lucheng were present, she would definitely not dare to speak.

But now that only the two of them and the king are here, Liu Mei doesn't have so many worries, because she knows that Li Yuanjia doesn't care about these at all. And the king is also very good to the two of them, in addition to the fact that there is never a shortage of food and clothing, and even the level is on par with ordinary ladies, what is more important is the usual attitude towards them.

So in private, the two really don't need to be too careful.

Sure enough, after listening to Liu Mei's words, Li Yuanjia just smiled and said slowly: "I, I'm going to draw a game, and when the princess invites her friends to have a party, she can take out the game to play together." ”

"Games? A game to play with? ”

After listening to his words, Chunyan and Liu Mei looked at each other with a confused expression.

Chunyan was the first to react, and immediately blinked his eyes, and asked curiously: "King, what game needs such a large piece of paper...... Hey? Turning a corner? ”

Chunyan's somewhat coquettish voice made Li Yuanjia couldn't help but be happy.

However, he did not answer Chunyan's question directly, but drew the long square to the starting point under the gaze of the two maids.

Then, he took out three rulers and two other pens, and handed them to the two girls: "Okay, don't be idle, come with me to draw!" ”

"We? Draw together? ”

The two girls looked at each other, and Chunyan was puzzled: "Wang, what should I draw?" ”

"It's easy, draw a grid."

Li Yuanjia didn't talk nonsense, and directly demonstrated to the two girls: "Divide this long box into small grids divided into equal parts...... I taught you how to use a ruler, right? Each compartment does not need to be too large, it is enough to be the same width as it. ”

Speaking of simplicity, it is not difficult to do, and the two maids immediately followed suit.

However, in the time of a stick of incense, the entire white paper was covered with small grids.

After straightening up and glancing at it, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yes, it looks quite average, but ...... What are you going to write in these boxes? But you have to think about it......"

……

In the next two days, Li Yuanjia was really busy.

The first thing is to complete the game on a blank sheet of paper, to write something that is appropriate to the times, to think about some cute and straightforward pictures, and of course, to write a corresponding explanation of the rules, and to make a large number of cards.

At the same time, the two carpenters sent by Chen Mu also had a lot of work, and they wanted to make some matching wood carving works...... Speaking of which, the two carpenters who came at the beginning did not meet the requirements at all, they could only make furniture and overturn cars, they didn't know how to carve at all, and they didn't even know how to be the simplest villain, so in the end, Chen Mu chose two more and sent them to Li Yuanjia.

The games for girls are naturally how to look good and how to do them.

In the midst of the busy work, the time passed unconsciously.

Two days later, when the three hundred carpenters sent by the palace and the first batch of three hundred miscellaneous servants arrived, Li Yuanjia's Zhuangzi outside the city instantly became lively. Although the dumping workshop is not located in the Zhuangzi, it is not very far away, only more than two miles away, so when there is not enough housing at the moment, the carpenters and handymen can only live in the farmer's houses in the Zhuangzi.

Of course, it's all about money.

This time, the emperor did not pick the door, and directly sent Li Yuanjia 10,000 yuan, as well as a large number of wood and other materials. This also made him feel a sense of urgency again, and also understood the importance of these rollovers for this summer......
