Chapter 203: The School is Built
Wang Jizhi's sleepy eyes were held by the yellow plum blossom, running towards the door of the guest house, the little baby has not yet figured out the situation, was carried out of the bed by his own mother, at this time has not fully entered the state, only knows that his mother is crying all the way, and I don't know who offended his own strong mother.
"Come, come, kneel." Huang Meihua dragged Wang Jizhi to Fang Jing, and directly pressed the little baby to kneel.
Fang Jing could only watch, he really couldn't do anything yet, the little baby knelt down to his father, it should be, after all, this is a matter of common sense for people.
"Wang Jizhi, the son of Wang Jiezhi, Wang Jiezhi, the former King of Qin, the current saint, the right military captain under the command of General Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, died in Luoyang in early September of the third year of Wude, and died at the age of thirty-three." Fang Jing hugged the wooden box and read it aloud, so that these neighbors could hear it clearly, so that they could have a number in their hearts, at least in the future, they would not have to worry about someone bullying the poor couple.
"And then, kowtow." Huang Meihua shouted loudly, kowtowing to Wang Jizhi's little head with one hand, but her mouth was crying silently.
"Wang Jizhi, welcome your father home!" Fang Jing looked at Wang Jizhi in front of him and kowtowed nine times, then shouted loudly to Wang Jizhi who was kneeling.
"Then, hold your father, husband, and let's go home." After Huang Meihua pulled Wang Jizhi to get up, she instructed Wang Jizhi to take the wooden box from Fang Jing's hand and hold it in her arms.
Huang Meihua held Wang Jizhi with the wooden box in her arms, and walked step by step in the direction of home, Fang Jing watched this scene quietly, many people don't understand, and maybe don't understand, why Fang Jing was left on the spot like this, but Fang Jing understood in his heart, and also understood why the two of them were like this, and why they cried home silently, countless thoughts in the past few years, the child called out to his father in his dream, and a woman comforted the child in the middle of the night, these pictures flashed in Fang Jing's mind, for all this in front of him, All of them made Fang Jing sigh in his heart, everything would be fine.
In fact, Fang Jing didn't know at all, let alone understand the pain in Huang Meihua's heart, although Huang Meihua's home used to be in Chang'an City, but he didn't live for a long time, he followed his husband with the army for many years, who can know the hardships and difficulties here? Someone dies every day, every day with that heart, every day praying that his husband is safe, but in the end, his husband has not escaped the catastrophe, and he can't escape the shackles of fate, and then, with Wang Jizhi, he fled from Luoyang, escaped from Chang'an, trekked through mountains and rivers to Jinzhou, and then arrived at An's home in Pingli County, and all this, who can do it? Fang Jing couldn't imagine it, let alone understand it.
Fang Jing turned around and left the guest house, not wanting to disturb the suffering couple, as an outsider, it was not suitable for him to be on the scene, not to mention that he was about to become an adult now, and it was inconvenient.
Fang Jing went to the north of the city, and in the secluded and uninhabited place at the turn of the official road, he asked the dumb fairy for a full hundred bags of cement, but he didn't know if it was enough, so he could only ask for so much first.
Fang Jing didn't leave, waited for someone to pass by, and then called someone to go to the car dealership, staying on the edge of this official road and waiting, regardless of the way pedestrians saw him.
Half an hour later, I saw Lao Li Tou trotting over, and he didn't drive the ox cart over, thinking that he wanted to confirm how many ox carts he wanted, after all, the person who was talking just now didn't make it clear, just said that someone asked him to come over and move the goods.
"Brother Fang, it turned out to be you? Brother Fang, what kind of goods are you going to transport to Fangjia Village? Lao Li Tou walked over from a bend in the official road, and when he saw that it was Fang Jing, he hurriedly said hello.
"Old Li Tou, you are here, why didn't you rush over?" Fang Jing said hello to Lao Li Tou and asked casually.
"The person who talked just now didn't say how many cars to drive over, I just came over to take a look, Brother Fang, it's enough for you to look at five or six cars for these goods, I'll go back to the car shop and ask someone to come over in a while." Lao Li Tou stared at the cement on the ground and said, it is estimated that it will not be too heavy.
"Old Li Tou, this is not good, these goods are a bit heavy, it is best to catch a dozen or so cars, this whole bag is almost a stone heavy, but it is very heavy." Fang Jing counted ten cars, if he went all the way, it would be strange if he didn't collapse, so he thought that there were almost ten cars.
"Brother Fang, this thing is so heavy, okay, I'll go back and drive the ox cart over." After staring at the cement on the ground for a while, Lao Li hurriedly responded to Fang Jing, and was about to raise his leg to go back, but was stopped by Fang Jing.
"Old Li Tou, wait a minute, when you come over, buy some cakes, otherwise you won't have anything to eat on the way, I didn't bring copper coins this time, and when I return to Fangjia Village, I'll give it to you." Fang Jing really didn't bring copper coins when he came out, so he thought about rushing back all the way, but he had to eat something, even if he didn't eat it, the coachman wanted to eat.
"Okay, Brother Fang, I'll go back." After listening to Fang Jing's words, Lao Li Tou directly agreed, and trotted to the city again.
After half an hour passed, Lao Li Tou and the others drove sixteen ox carts over, a total of eight people, driving sixteen ox carts, and it was not easy to come.
"Brother Fang, how do you get this?" After Lao Li Tou stopped the ox cart, he came over and asked Fang Jing.
"Old Li Tou, in this way, there are six or seven bags on each car, and everyone will help carry them on the frame." Fang Jing said to Lao Litou, although this transportation is also a normal job for the coachmen, but it is not another money, but for these cements, Fang Jing is a little embarrassed, after all, this bag of 100 catties is not light.
Fang Jing moved four bags to the frame at a time, and the drivers carried one bag at a time, as for Fang Jing's strength, they were surprised, they really didn't expect such a slender young man to have so much strength, in addition to admiration, it can only be admired.
In less than half an hour, a hundred bags of cement had been moved onto the frame, although most of them were moved by Fang Jing, as long as it was the person who moved the cement, it would be more or less stained with some dust, which also made Fang Jing have to move more.
"Old Li Tou, let's go, it doesn't seem to rain today, if it rains, we'll be in trouble, my goods can't be wet." Fang Jing and Lao Li Tou walked to the front of the sixteen cars, looked at the queen of heaven, and said to Lao Li Tou.
"Okay, let's go, and we'll wash up by the creek later." Lao Li Tou heard Fang Jing say that these goods can't be wet, so he thought about it or hurried away, although it didn't seem to be raining this day, but this God, who knows.
A car into the city out of the city, towards the town of Xiaohe, passing through a small river, this stopped, everyone went down to the river, cleaned again, is considered to wash the dust off the body, otherwise, this is sweat, and cement dust, but not comfortable.
After cleaning, continue to hurry, there are also some Hu cakes to eat in the middle, Fang Jing also divided a Hu cake to eat, this was originally Fang Jing's request to buy, hire a car frame, you must add food, this is also the rule, if there is no food, those coachmen will be cheating, of course, if you can go back that night, dinner will no longer need to be provided.
When he returned to Fangjia Village, the sun had already set in the west, and he called a lot of helpers to come and move the cement, Fang Jing was relieved, and the construction of the school would not delay the time.
"Old Litou, shout to everyone to go to my house to drink a bowl of water." Fang Jing shouted to Lao Li Tou and prepared to go home.
"Brother Fang, if you're not busy, we will have to go back to the county seat in a while, so we won't miss so much time." Lao Li Tou looked at the sky, it was better to go back tonight, and he could still catch up in time.
"Okay, then I'll go home and get you the money, and you wait here for me for a while." After Fang Jing finished speaking, she trotted home.
Fang Jing returned home, it happened that everyone in the family was there, and everyone was curious about why Fang Jing came back so quickly, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that Fang Jing had gone all the way to the county seat, so he didn't ask anything.
"Uncle, give me the usual money, and I'll settle the car money." Fang Jing shouted at Zhang Xiaoxia.
Then Zhang Xiaoxia took the consistent money from the house and handed it to Fang Jing, and she didn't know why Fang Jing wanted to use the consistent money to settle the car money, I think there were a lot of goods, otherwise there would be no need for so many consistent copper coins.
After Fang Jing took the money, he trotted back to the school construction site, directly gave Lao Li Tou the money, stopped Lao Li Tou from talking, and told them to hurry, otherwise it would be another push and push, Fang Jing couldn't stand this situation.
After Lao Li Tou thanked Fang Jing, he drove the ox cart directly to the small road of Fangjia Village, the speed was much faster than when he came, and he thought that he should be able to rush back to the county seat before dark.
Seeing Lao Li Tou and them leaving, Fang Jing returned to the school construction site, looking at the pile of cement, thinking that it could be built tomorrow, maybe it wouldn't take a month, this school could be built, at least the stone, wood and sand were ready-made, if you really want these more than 100 people to build, it will definitely not be much slower.
Fang Jing may have estimated the time early, this school building is not a building block, not to mention the use of cement, cement, after construction, must be dried before it can be built again, so as to ensure that the cement does not crack, and after this drying, you have to pour water on it, which is not something that can be built casually.
On the second day, under the command of Fang Jing, he began to mix cement and build the foundation, and the construction was completed in one day.
After building the foundation, Fang Jing realized his mistake and completely misestimated the situation, this school can't be built in a day or two, this cement still needs to be watered and solidified, which makes Fang Jing a little helpless, and I don't know if this will be the case with lime mortar or glutinous rice mortar?
Lime mortar or glutinous rice mortar is a building material in ancient times, but most of the northern city walls, most of them are rammed earth plate structures, and only some cities in the south will use lime mortar or glutinous rice mortar as clay stone materials, but the northern cities also use lime mortar or glutinous rice mortar, but relatively less, glutinous rice is mainly produced in the south, and it is bound to be relatively easy to transport.
Glutinous rice mortar, also known as glutinous rice mortar, is mainly a building material used in some ancient city walls or houses, its main ingredient is hydrated lime, glutinous rice pulp, and then some sand and stone processing, is a kind of building materials with super adhesion, just like the Great Wall of China, a large number of glutinous rice mortar is used, which makes thousands of years without falling, has a history of thousands of years, and glutinous rice mortar, is also one of the greatest technological innovations in ancient history.
After a few days of drying, Fang Jing then commanded to start the construction again, more people are good, more people are powerful, half a month, all the walls of the entire school have been completed, only need to wait for the cement to dry in a few days, you can erect wooden beams, and then the most troublesome roof.
Fang Jing didn't know what materials to use for the roof, if bamboo was used, it was estimated that it could only be used for a few years or more than ten years, but if it was tiled, there was no ready-made, and if it was made of wood and straw mats, it would not be like a school at all, but like a grass hall.
After Fang Jing discussed with the village and them, they finally decided to use bamboo chips as the roof of the school, add a few more layers, and prevent water leakage, this is already the best and most appropriate method at present, the village is not willing to build the school and use thatch as the roof, that will be insulting to the saint, but there is no way to purchase some tiles now, so they chose to use bamboo chips.
Of course, Fang Jing also knew that the bamboo pieces in the school had better be made to look better and be neat, otherwise, it would be really a bit nondescript, and it would be laughed at by others.
