Du He came to the construction site, and Du Ziying, the housekeeper of Du Mansion, was recruiting craftsmen outside.

"Grandpa Du, how's the manpower recruitment?" Du He looked at the strong man who was demolishing the house in the courtyard, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

Du Ziying said with a smile: "Yesterday, I was worried that spring ploughing had arrived, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to recruit many people." Now it's too much to worry about, you see ......" He pointed to the hot scene behind him, and his kind face was full of smiles: "The young master is easy-going and has won everyone's expectations, and everyone is willing to help at this moment!" ”

"I'll go in and take a look!" Du He smiled and walked into the mansion, greeting the workers who were doing the demolition work, his eyes swept among these people, intentionally or unintentionally. The workers were flattered one by one, and they also saluted and said hello!

Seeing that there was nothing suspicious, he didn't stay for a long time, and was about to leave, but he saw Du Ziying talking to a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and there were eight sturdy men beside the middle-aged man.

Du He walked up: "Grandpa Du, who is this?" ”

Du Ziying introduced them with a smile: "Young boy, this is the famous craftsman Yu Wenchen, and he is also the director of the new mansion. But when he was about to introduce Du He to Yu Wenchen, Yu Wenchen rushed to the first step: "This must be the second son of the Du family who won three gold medals in a row in the brave competition. ”

"You are the master builder Yu Wenchen that my father said?" Du He glanced at him suspiciously, showed a sincere smile and said, "The matter of the mansion, I have to worry about it!" ”

Yu Wenchen hugged his fists and said: "It is incumbent!" ”

Du He glanced at the few people behind Yu Wenchen.

Yu Wenchen said calmly: "These are all people from my house, who have followed me for a long time, and each has his own ability, which can be regarded as my right-hand man." ”

Du He didn't ask much and let them in.

Since the new mansion needed to be completely rebuilt, after recruiting sufficient manpower, the first three days had been busy demolishing the mansion, removing all the debris left by the fire and the houses that did not affect but hindered the construction.

Du He never cared or showed interest, and let Yu Wenchen take full responsibility for it.

It wasn't until the fourth day, when the construction began, that Du He stepped into the construction site again.

As soon as he walked into the mansion, he saw Yu Wenchen holding a set of structural drawings and directing all the people to dig the foundation. He, the No. 1 architect in Chang'an, is not in vain, and looking at his look of commanding Ruoding on the construction site is like seeing Li Jing and Li Ji commanding the three armies in the army.

This person has expertise, and Yu Wenchen is the general on this construction site.

Seeing Du He coming, Yu Wenchen came to salute.

Du He smiled: "Master Yuwen, don't be polite, I'm just taking a casual look, and I have some ideas to discuss with you." ”

Yu Wenchen was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to ask for advice, if the second son has instructions, but it doesn't hurt to say it." He said politely on the surface, but he muttered to himself in his heart, vigilant, and didn't know what to sell in Duhe gourd. He is very confident in his own judgment, but it is inevitable that he will be a little apprehensive when it comes to implementation. It's just that he is very good at acting, and he doesn't show it.

"This is the design drawing!" Du He stretched out his hand to take it, but saw that there were all kinds of lines drawn horizontally and vertically on the drawing, some thick and some thin, except for the direction of the thick lines faintly the style of a house, the others could not understand at all, and I didn't know what to draw?

A little dumbfounded, and a little embarrassed, I wanted to discuss the structure style of the mansion with Yu Wenchen, but I found that I couldn't even understand the drawings. Originally, I thought that this drawing was the same as the map and the formation, as long as you understand each one, you can probably understand it, but it is much more esoteric, and I can't understand it at all, so I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. He has a very high talent in military science, and the map formation naturally does not feel profound, and the knowledge of architecture is equal to that of a rookie, and this basic drawing also feels extremely profound.

"Uh......" In order to hide his embarrassment, he nodded pretentiously to the drawings in his hand, and exclaimed: "Not bad, very good!" Master Yuwen is worthy of being the number one architect in my Tang Dynasty! ”

He didn't know where this drawing was good, but since it was from Yu Wenchen's hand, he probably wouldn't have sent it there.

Yu Wenchen saw that Du Hesha was doing something, and he couldn't tell whether he really understood or fake, and said strangely: "The second son also understands architecture?" ”

Anyway, I couldn't understand it, Du He returned the design drawings to Yu Wenchen and said, "I know a little bit, so I have some ideas!" ”

I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run?

Du He likes to travel, and China's major tourist attractions are taken care of, including the Summer Palace and Beihai Park in Yanjing, the summer resort in Chengde, Hebei Province, these royal gardens, as well as the Yanjing Gongwang Mansion, the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, the Lingering Garden, the Xiaopangu in Yangzhou, the Ge Garden, the He Garden, the Yu Garden in Shanghai, and so on are full of private gardens full of ancient styles.

Garden art is one of the treasures of China, and there are some special favorites, and the scenery and decorations that are still fresh in his memory are flashed in his mind from time to time.

So, he used the inventory in his brain to chat with Yu Wenchen.

"Master Yuwen, you see that a small pond is built here, not the kind of big pond in the backyard, but a small puddle, in the center of the puddle is carved a crane with wings ready to fly, you can raise some turtles in the water, raise some carp, and you can plant some fine bamboo near the pool, which looks elegant and beautiful."

Du He pointed to the open space on the right side of the front yard and said, then he pointed to the remaining open space on the left and right sides of the front yard and said: "The rest of the place can be spread out of a piece of grass, and some rabbits, sika deer, birds and other animals can be carved and placed on the grass." There can also be a thick tree trunk in the middle of the grass on the left side, with the trunk as a table, the back of wild boars and deer as a stool, and the old-fashioned stone bench and stone table I think are a bit outdated, far inferior to the trunk and animals. ”

Yu Wenchen is the first architect in Chang'an. has the dignity of his own ideas, and what he hates most is that others point fingers in front of him and teach him how to lay out. But now Du He has become an exception, Du He's whimsical ideas, let him breathtaking, exquisite layout cooperation, let him be fascinated, listening to his narration constantly change the drawing structure in the depths of his heart.

Du He talked all the way, walked all the way in the courtyard, his eyes glanced at the workers on the construction site from time to time, and when he saw individual figures, he was a little surprised and confused.

Yu Wenchen listened beside him, nodding his head in admiration, as if this first master builder was not him Yu Wenchen but Du He.

Unconsciously came to the backyard, Du He pointed to the pond where the treasure was hidden and said: "It's better to change it here, the layout of this pond is too old-fashioned, and there is nothing new." According to my idea, I didn't want a pond at all, and just turned it into a swimming pool. He briefly introduced the swimming pool, and then said that swimming can enhance heart muscle function, enhance resistance, and toning the body.

Yu Wenchen's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Second son, don't you know, this pond is more than three zhang deep, and it is as deep as a three-story building, if people enter the pond, I am afraid that it will be dangerous!" ”

Du He exclaimed: "It's so deep, forget it, it's better to be free!" He frowned and said, "Aren't you digging the foundation?" It is better to pour the excavated soil into the pond and fill it, it is too deep and dangerous. In case there is an accident and someone dies, it will not be good! When he said this, there was a sense of compassion in his tone.

Yu Wenchen knew that although Du He was a general and decisive on the battlefield, he took human life very seriously, and he did not doubt him, but he just said: "The second prince is reasonable, but he does not agree with the practice. This pond is living water, and it is not easy to fill it, if you are not careful, instead of filling it, you will make the sand poured into the pond form swamp silt, and you will be in trouble. It is better to wait for the mansion to be built, and then fill in the pond after all the manpower is used. ”

Du He nodded in agreement, and didn't ask more, just said: "In this case, everything is subject to Master Yuwen, I believe you!" ”

In the next half month, Du He took the time to come to the construction site from time to time to chat with Yu Wenchen, discuss the layout of the mansion, and supervise the process.

Due to the abundance of manpower, the fence has been rebuilt, and the first floor of the main house has begun to take shape.

After the construction site was finished that day, Yu Wenchen, Wei Fengyun, and Zhang Wenbao got together.

"Mr. Yuwen, when exactly will you act!" Wei Fengyun was in a hurry, things were getting smoother and smoother, they thought that in the past half a month, they had secretly opened three vents leading to the secret passage, and then they were just waiting to dive into the depths of the pond to extract gold.

Zhang Wenbao laughed: "I'm already impatient, I just can't wait to get into the water tonight, take out those treasures, and call on the world to help the young master eradicate the traitor Li Er and take the world." ”

He was swarthy and not very old, but he had an old face that was blown by the wind. He grew up by the sea, has a pretty good water surname, can hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour, and is the best choice to dive underwater.

Yu Wenchen's eyes also revealed excitement and excitement, and said with a smile: "After three days, I will ask Du He tomorrow to say that in order to hurry, I need to start construction day and night." In the past two days, we first used the evening time to find out the pattern of the patrol soldiers, and then said that we had achieved success. ”

Wei Fengyun said: "Will Du He agree?" ”

"Yes!" Yu Wenchen smiled confidently: "In the past half a month, I have been close to having a relationship with him every day, and the relationship has become a friend. I understand that Duhe attaches great importance to his friends, and he will not disagree with this small request, not to mention that we are working hard for him. In order to deal with Du He, he has been sending people to inquire about Du He, and he knows his surname and behavior well.

As Yu Wenchen thought, he didn't hesitate to his request, and directly accepted it.

Leaving the construction site, Duhe's eyes narrowed, and he knew that the snake had taken the bait.
