"Hui Yu Lord, Xiaomin Tuomu, the family has been a craftsman who has made houses for people for generations, and the famous stilted building in this town, as high as 28 floors, is designed and built by the ancestors themselves, and it has been hundreds of years ago. The all-wooden covered bridge leading from the town in front of the town to the city is also my grandfather's masterpiece, and it has been more than 100 years ago..." Hearing the mansion master's question, Tom said excitedly.

···

When Lu Fan came to the town, he saw that the whole town was a wooden stilted building, so he went to the tallest and largest stilted building in the town, which is also the center of the whole town, the whole town is extended outward with a stilted building, and the ground of the whole town is paved with stones on the swamp and rebuilt, there are more than 20 floors, but because half of it is built against the mountain, it is extremely solid and charming.

As for the covered bridge, Lu Fan was deeply shocked by him, the whole bridge did not have a single nail, all of them were mortise and tenon structures, and the dovetail groove had experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, and the bonding gap between them could not even be inserted into a needle. The body of the bridge is purple and purple, and it is really hard to believe that there are people coming and going every day, and there are heavy objects passing by, and there is no damage.

"How did that bridge be built without damage for so long?" Lu Fan asked

"This..." Tomu was speechless for a while, and he stopped talking.

Lu Fan knew that this was someone's secret, and it was inconvenient to make it public. Then he said, "Then have you ever designed and built such a big building?"

"This... , Back to the lord of the house, our Tuomu family was originally a big family, but it gradually declined, so even the ancestral house stilted building was sold..." Tomu said ashamedly.

Lu Fan thought that the stilted building was in the form of a courtyard house, and it could accommodate 300 households at most, and nearly 1,000 people had all been sold, and it seemed that it was indeed in decline.

Lu Fan said to everyone again: "If you need to build a house in the future, you can come to the craftsman of the official family, as long as you can provide a cub of the fierce beast, of course, if the craftsman can't come, you can also get a room to live in the collective stilted building built by the official craftsman."

"Mansion master, where are there any officials and craftsmen here, and where are there any stilted buildings that no one lives in?"

"That's it, you can't lie to people, lord."

"How can we believe that what you say is true?"

"You're saying so well! Are you really the lord of the house?"

······

For a while, the voices of doubt were everywhere, and Lu Fan looked at the people around him who were all questioning, so he took out the seal of the mansion master.

But someone else said: "We are the little people who are ascending to fights, who knows the truth or falsehood, who has seen the seal of the lord of the mansion!"

"It is"

····

Another question, no, there is no mayor here and a group of scattered people, Lu Fan had to say loudly again: "First, I didn't lie to you about anything. Second, if you don't believe it, you can go to Fucheng to find out. Thirdly, your chaos is difficult to manage, and in the future, each of your villages will elect a village chief to respond to the town or directly to the prefecture and city, otherwise what you say will be a mess, and the government will not be able to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

·····

In this way, the sun was about to set, and everyone left with a full stomach full of surprise.

In the post house in the town, Lu Fan made up his mind and said to the chief inspector: "You go back to the city, select a more prestigious official in this area, and convey the orders of the government, so that the people can believe it, remember that the pomp and circumstance must be big, so that the people will believe it."

"But the lord of the mansion, if we do this, we are afraid that the government will be even more poor, and then it will be a big trouble," said Mu Yan, the chief inspector

"You see, there is a saying that the wool comes out of the sheep. And now the sheep have no hair, and they are all about to freeze to death, and you still want to pluck the wool? As long as you are fattened, you can pluck a little bit at will, and it will be more than the original. Do you know?" Lu Fan reprimanded in a serious tone.

In order to establish prestige, even if the inspector general who is older than himself opposes him, he must be disciplined, otherwise his words will not be listened to in the future

The most important thing is that there are still a lot of local tyrants in Qinggang Mansion, will there be less wool on their bodies?

"Mansion Master, Tom asks to see you. "The government soldiers' report,

"Let him in," Lu Fan said lightly

···

"The villain Tom sees the lord of the house"

"Excuse me, do you have anything to do?" Lu Fan asked knowingly

"Lord of the House, it's not that the villain doesn't want to answer the adult's words today, it's just that after all, this is an ancestral craft, and it can't be publicly known to others. I'm ashamed of my ancestors..." As soon as Tomu came in, he bluntly explained and apologized.

"I understand that. Lu Fan said lightly.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the choice of wood is different from others, others choose big pine and cypress trees, there is nothing wrong with this, our family is the same, but we choose the pine and cypress on the north side of the mountain" Tuo Mu saw that the lord of the house didn't say anything, and the wood hurriedly said again

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! why?"

Seeing that the lord of the mansion was fortunate enough to listen, Tomu was very excited, so he said: " The same is the pine and cypress, rich in high-quality Shannan wood, stout and strong growth fast, but the north of the mountain, is also the shade of the mountain, more cloudy wind and no light, so it grows very slowly, and it is difficult to become a talent, but it is these trees of Shanyin, can become a talent is several times the age of the wood of Shannan, so the annual rings of the tree are intensive, the tree is unusually strong, corrosion resistant, is dozens of times the life of the general wood, if it is well maintained, it can reach a hundred times the life of the general wood, and will not be deformed after a long time, cold and heat resistance, not easy to expand, strong bearing capacity, and fireproof than the general wood。 ”

I see, my curiosity was satisfied. Do you have anything else?" Lu Fan pretended to ask

Seeing that the lord of the house didn't want to understand but pretended to be confused, Tuo Mu sulked and wanted to retreat, but after thinking about it, he endured it and said: "The lord of the house, I heard that you want to build a stilted building here, but no one can compare with our Mu family in the stilted building built by the local people, I think so I want to volunteer, I don't know if the adults can fulfill the small people?"

Lu Fan saw that his goal had been achieved, so he said: "Then you will temporarily be incorporated into the craftsmen of Qinggang Mansion, as the captain of the craftsmen in Wuzhen, and it is also possible to behave well in the future and be promoted to the head of the Fucheng as a worker." If you can do it well, if you don't do it well..."

Without waiting for Lu Fan to finish speaking, Tuo Mu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "You must do a good job, you won't do a bad job, if you don't do it well, it will insult the reputation of your ancestors, and you don't need to be punished by the lord of the mansion, I don't have the face to live myself."

"It's not that serious, I still believe in your family craftsmanship, the construction of Qinggang Mansion will depend on you in the future, and you will be fully responsible for the selection of Wuzhen craftsmen in the future," Lu Fan said to Tuo Mu gently.

With a pop, Tom bowed to Lu Fan again.

"Go, you go to Fucheng with Inspector Mu Yan, and let the master bookkeeper help you go through the formalities of the craftsman registering"

Grateful to the Lun Wind Blade Tuomu to retreat, he left with Mu Yan, preparing to return to Fucheng the next day, Lu Fan waited for the militia Ding Zhuang here to finish the assessment, and then continued to inspect other places.

I just don't dare to meet the city...
