Chapter 17: Building a Villa
Feng Daiwen took Ma Zhou and a group of craftsmen and others back to Zhujiazhuang in the evening, arranged for everyone to rest, and said thoughtfully: "Today King Bin has a good rest, when I hand over the villa map to King Bin tomorrow, all the coordination and other work here will be handed over to King Bin, if you need anything, you can find me at any time, and all personnel will be transferred with King Bin."
Ma Zhou was grateful: "Thank you for the trust of the little grandfather, Ma Zhou will definitely do his best to build a good villa for the little grandfather, now Ma Zhou is not famous, Feng Daiwen values it so much, I can't help but let Ma Zhou give birth to the heart of a confidant to die",
Feng Daiwen said: "King Bin doesn't need to be like this, you are older than me, you can call me Daiwen or Weiguo." Feng Daiwen asked people to send a lot of food, shelter, clothing and supplies before saying goodbye to Ma Zhou.
Early the next morning, the whole village had turned into a huge construction site, quarrying, logging, and leveling the road were all carried out in an orderly manner under Ma Zhou's arrangement, and when Feng Daiwen saw Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou was discussing things with several masters. Seeing Feng Daiwen, he hurriedly arrived: "I've seen the little grandfather."
Feng Daiwen pretended to be angry: "King Bin is so polite, I will treat me as an outsider as King Bin." You see, I've always called you King Bin."
Ma Zhouyi said, "You're welcome to do this week, it's just right for the country to come, I think there are many people now, and the road construction and the establishment of the mountain villa can be carried out at the same time." Ma Zhou was also very moved to see that Feng Daiwen not only gave the workers a starting salary, but also provided three meals.
Feng Daiwen said: "I have already said that everything is arranged by the king."
Ma Zhou went to the master craftsman just now suggested that the brick burning point should be placed in the clay mountain in the east of the villa, so that it is convenient to enter the material, and the bricks were burned in the Qin Dynasty, and everyone should have heard of the Qin bricks and Han tiles, but they were all green bricks before.
"It's so good, there is still something missing, King Bin can find me at any time, in addition, there is a group of materials and displaced people from Wannian County in the near future, and King Bin will look at the arrangements at that time."
The establishment of the villa is in full swing, almost one day at a time, Feng Daiwen is not only full three times a day, but also pays the salary, and slowly spreads in the surrounding area, only half a month, many villages around have come to sign up for work, because it is almost winter, many people are idle at home, Wannian County plus the homeless people also recruited more than 5,000 people, Zhujiazhuang is almost more than 20,000 people, of course, it was also reported to Li Yuan, Li Yuan heard that it was the road to build Wannian County, and he just sent someone to check it and didn't ask, The 5,000 elite soldiers led by Feng Daiwen also perfectly integrated into this crowd.
The road to Wannian County has only been repaired for more than a mile, mainly because the road surface is too wide for four horses to run in parallel, as for the particularly difficult place is narrower, Feng Daiwen let people use quarrying gravel and pebbles by the river to pave the road is not only smooth and not afraid of rain, both sides of the road are two rows of other places to move trees, the repaired road gives people an atmosphere, comfortable and pleasing feeling, Ma Zhou also proposed that there is no need to build such a wide good, but for Feng Daiwen, who is used to seeing the cement road, this is not a four horses, The main thing is not to find more things, how to hide these 5,000 people, not to mention that there are more people coming later, Feng Daiwen is still having a headache to find more projects to do.
"Little grandfather, little grandfather", a craftsman ran panting, shouting excitedly as he ran, "Little grandfather, go and take a look", and ran to Feng Daiwen The craftsman arrived at Feng Daiwen with a rough face.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you rest first and speak slowly", Feng Daiwen asked the craftsman to sit down,
After calming down, the craftsman excitedly pulled Feng Daiwen to, "Quick, hurry up and take a look, little grandfather, good things, you never expected us to burn something",
Feng Daiwen followed the craftsman to the brick kiln suspiciously, and asked the craftsman on the way, and the craftsman said that the specific little grandfather knew it when he saw it, but he couldn't say it clearly.
Feng Daiwen came to the brick kiln, the craftsman took out a brick and handed it to Feng Daiwen, Feng Daiwen couldn't help but stare at it, only to see that the burned brick was not a completely cyan green brick, but a blue and white intersect, and luster, Feng Daiwen took the brick, and there was a delicate feeling in his hand, touch it carefully, not like a brick, but more like a porcelain delicate. Feng Daiwen asked, "Is this all the same?" ”
"Yes, little grandfather, the first kiln will be opened today, and when it cools down, it will be all like this", the craftsman was excited.
"Okay, good, good, very good, open a few more kilns, experiment, how to burn it, don't just burn bricks, make more other shapes, if you succeed, you can make it bigger, thinner and stick it on the wall and on the ground", Feng Daiwen thought of the wall tiles and floor tiles.
"Okay, little grandpa, we want to burn some bowls, bottles and other utensils to try, how about the little grandpa." Artisan to:
Feng Daiwen said to a group of happy craftsmen: "Very good, you can try any ideas you have, this time the master will reward 1 habitually, others will have 100 dollars, if you succeed, there will be a heavy reward, and you can try to see if the difference in firing time is different, you all understand, I just asked, if it is successful, when the time comes, you will ensure that your family has a worry-free life for several generations."
The craftsmen immediately cheered, and their enthusiasm for work soared,,,,
