"What a Zhuangzi!"

Carpenter Fang's sleeves were rolled up high, and his face was covered with sweat, although there was a tiredness that could not be concealed, but more than that, it was joy.

Since the start of construction in the first month, it has only taken two months to complete the Zhuangzi. Among them, carpenter Fang contributed a lot.

Zhao Youju nodded beside him, extremely satisfied, not only to be able to have this speed under these conditions, but more importantly, Zhuangzi was almost exactly the same as he imagined.

"Da Lang, everything is ready, just choose an auspicious day, and you can move in." Seeing that Zhao Heju, who had never been very angry, also showed a happy face, Carpenter Fang said beside him.

Zhao Youju nodded again, he was not very satisfied with this carpenter before, not to mention the rough craftsmanship, he was also a little vain, and occasionally said some strange things. However, this time the establishment of Zhuangzi, but a lot depends on him, although he is not very smart, but there is an advantage, that is, he will not make his own opinions, Zhao and Ju stipulate things, in the eyes of others may not be reasonable, but he has not changed at all. Moreover, the carpenter also knows his own weight, it is rare for Zhao and Ju to hand over the matter to him, so he will be conscientious and dare not slack off, Zhao and Ju heard that he has been walking around the construction site every day since the rooster crows in the past two months, and every brick and stone is afraid that it will not be properly handled, which also makes Zhao and Ju look at him with admiration.

He wasn't a good carpenter, but he was a good contractor.

The newly built Zhuangzi is only more than 1,000 feet away from Yuzhang Villa, which is about 300 meters away from the length unit of later generations, which is not very far away. Zhuangzi covers an area of about ten acres, surrounded by a mud rammed wall, because Zhuangzi is built according to the mountain, the wall is also undulating, extremely irregular. The main building in Zhuangzhong is the north-south direction of the two courtyards, the main room of the wing room is counted as a total of 18 rooms, Zhao and Ju estimate that the average of each room is about 20 square meters in later generations. On the west side of these two courtyards, there is another row of rammed houses, a total of six. On the east side of the two courtyards, against the mountain stream, there was a row of four rooms, two of which were very large, and some of them looked like the main hall. Zhao and Ju borrowed the mountain when designing, so although the house did not conform to the rules of this time, it also looked unique.

For the use of the new Zhuangzi, he had already made arrangements, two into the courtyard, one into the boys and one into the girls, as they grew older, no matter what considerations, they had to be separated. On the west side, there are six rammed houses, four of which are left to wait, Zhao and Ju have the heart to pick the honest couple among the guests in their own house to live in, and the other two are opened up for kitchen. On the east side of the mountain stream, two large rooms were used as classrooms for children, and two small ones were used as laboratories - Xiao Bolang raised his hands in favor of this.

Both of these small rooms are attached to the wall, and the stream is outside the wall, and it is only necessary to install a water wheel to power the general experiment.

The small dam where the reeling cart is located is also enclosed in the yard, but it is more remote, hundreds of steps from the main construction area, and many trees have been transplanted in the middle, so that there is no noise when the reeling cart is running.

There are also arrangements for the vacant houses in the old Zhuangzi, like the old housekeeper Zhao Xi and Yixue Xixi Xiao Bolang, all of whom are divided into a small courtyard, that is, Zhao Zi said, he should also have his own room, not mixed with the rest of the people, which also shows that Zhao and Ju have clear rewards and punishments.

In one's own family, there must be a certain rank, and only in this way can one reward and then whip backward.

"Carpenter Fang has worked hard." After careful thinking in his heart, Zhao and Ju had a fortune on the other side: "After returning to Laozhuang, go to the account office to pay ten times, which is regarded as a reward with you." ”

Fang Youcai smiled and nodded again and again, as sweet as chewing a piece of honey in his heart. Because of Baoxing's change of hands, his son was placed in the reeling place to be a steward, and the monthly money did not fall but rose, and now it is almost the same as him, Fang Youcai is already thinking about finding relatives for his son in the second half of the year.

Zhao and Ju understood how to keep people like Fang Youcai loyal, and he didn't forget to knock a sentence: "Don't talk nonsense about family matters, so as not to make people jealous!" ”

Fang Youcai's heart sank, thinking of Sun Wu who had fallen on the frieze, and nodded his head more like a chicken pecking rice. After Zhao and Ju sent him away, he walked around the new village alone and let out a long sigh.

Because it is in the middle of the mountain, the underground of Zhuangzi is full of sand and gravel, and no crops can be grown, even shrubs do not grow much, and the main plant is masson pine. Zhao and Ju stayed for a long time under the tallest horsetail pine, and the people in the village knew that he was meditating, and no one came to disturb him.

To build this Zhuangzi, it cost Zhao and Ju more than 5,000 yuan, and to those outsiders who came to work, the carpenter who was instructed by Zhao and Ju only said that he had sold the money obtained from the shops in Lin'an City, so he did not arouse any suspicion. In the past two months, Zhuangzi can be said to be unable to make ends meet, the money earned by Snow Candy is only enough to maintain the family, and the silk of Jichanglong has long been sold out, so he can only wait for the spring cocoon to be on the market before starting work.

But Zhuangzi has increased the number of places where he spends money, in addition to daily expenses, the newly hired Fei Fei master and apprentice are a master who spends a lot of money.

At first, Zhao and Ju did not have this kind of psychological preparation, but when they really started to do it, they realized that clocks and watches were not so easy to achieve. Unlike several of his previous inventions, this clock can be regarded as a precision instrument, and although Fei Fei is a skilled craftsman, it cannot be achieved overnight. Their food wages are nothing, but the cost of those materials is extremely cheap.

In addition, there has been no news since Hu Fulang and Shi Mo Guangyan left, although Zhao Heju didn't say anything, he was a little worried in his heart. He gave Hu Fulang 15,000 guan and Shi Mo Guangyan 10,000 guan, originally not expecting them to bring back much profit, but if there was no news at all, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

This money is his capital to reverse the fortunes of the country, and every article is extremely precious!

The completion of Zhuangzi means that some expenses can be saved.

He was thinking about it, but he heard Xiao Bolang call him from afar: "Da Lang, Da Lang!" ”

If only two people are alone, Xiao Bolang will call him a teacher, and in front of outsiders, in order to avoid being too shocking, Xiao Bolang will call him Dalang. Zhao Heju's heart moved, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he looked at the place where the voice came from.

Sure enough, Xiao Bolang stumbled over, and when he saw him looking over, he shouted: "It's done, it's done, Dalang, it's done!" ”

Zhao and Ju couldn't help but run, at first a few steps were small, but then they ran wildly, this is the best news he has heard recently, and it is better than Zhuangzi Jiancheng!

The clock can not only bring great benefits to his plan, but also has extremely important strategic significance!
