Chapter 42 The construction is in full swing

More than half a month later, the stones were all ready, and one of the largest constructions among the five families was vigorously launched, and similarly, there were still no sacrificial activities such as worship at this time, which made Feng Bo a little puzzled, why there was no activity here, whether it was harvesting or construction, it was deserted.

It's no wonder that Feng Bo wondered, even Yang Heng himself was also puzzled, in the atheistic era of later generations, before any activities were launched, there were a series of god-worshipping activities, but it can also be seen from here how great the damage of war is in this era, and some important inheritances have disappeared.

Throwing off these superfluous ideas, Yang Heng began to command the construction, the specific construction depends on the uncles themselves, but some major aspects of the design still have to be commanded by Yang Heng.

"Come, uncles, here, that is, at the main entrance of our house, pull a road out, this road is to draw a four-meter-wide road that fills things directly, dig a trench in front of the road, it should be deeper, throw the soil dug out of the trench on the road, and then dig a trench in the back, but this trench is shallow, this ditch is to isolate our courtyard from the road, the temporary road is designed in this way, and when we have free time in the future, we will dig stones again. And they made stones on both sides of the road. ”

A very simple design, Yang Heng's plan is that in this place, these five families will be built, he wants to make these five homes a villa area, to distinguish them from the village, the north side of the road, a family will be built at a distance, these five families are just enough to spread out on the north side of this road, between the courtyards of each family, Yang Heng's plan is to treat them as vegetable gardens, so that they will look very neat, and also, behind the five courtyards is the water canal, that is, the water pulled up by the water wheel. In addition to this canal in winter, the water will be continuous at other times, and now a waterwheel is enough, but Yang Heng's plan is that in the coming year, or another year later, there will be another waterwheel, this is to have a waterwheel broken, and the other can also ensure the task of supplying water to the field, if there is more water, what to do, in the general weather, the water will flow back into the river along the channel again, in rainy days, at the water intake, Yang Heng will directly install a fork, let the water enter the fork, and then enter the river, but the waterwheel will not stop.

Again, Yang Heng also plans to set up a powered waterwheel on this artificial river, which will provide power to grind noodles, and even drive some large-scale threshers to threshing, so that there is no need to use manual shaking of the thresher.

The warehouse is located on the south side of the road, next to the edge of the ditch on the south side of the road, because the erection of the power waterwheel is to be erected on this ditch, and the shaft of this waterwheel will extend very long at one end of the warehouse, and even under this axis will be laid into a stone floor, but this matter is also a matter of the coming year, and some equipment is still good with manpower this year.

Whether it is a warehouse, or the courtyard of the four uncles' houses, they all choose to be the same as the courtyard wall of Yang Heng's house, inserting a square courtyard wall with logs, so the construction will speed up, in fact, this courtyard wall, according to Yang Heng's idea, should all be built into stones, but if the stones are built, then these stones are not enough, even if they are mined for another month, this stone is not enough, and now, whether it is Yang Heng's family or the uncles, they can't afford this time, so wood is still the best choice, besides, Judging from the timber courtyard wall next to Yang Heng, this courtyard wall is very easy to use, and don't even think about the problem of rotting, because most of them have already sprouted this year, that is to say, these woods have come to life again, but in this way, the branches that grow on this courtyard wall need to be cut down every year. First of all, in order to prevent rats, Yang Heng's design is to lay the ground and foundation tightly with stones, unless there are rats the size of ants, otherwise don't want to enter the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse is also built at a high place, so that if the rats do not have a good bouncing force, they will not enter the warehouse, under such conditions, if the rats will make holes in the wall, then there is really no way, but this possibility is very rare, But in this way, the uncles have a lot of workload, first of all, to choose the right stone, if there is no suitable stone, but also to repair the stone to fit, in this way, there are not many people here, only let the second uncle, and the third uncle here.

What are the others doing, they are starting to surround the courtyard wall, and after the courtyard wall is enclosed, they will build the main houses of each family next to each other, and the aunts will dig trenches around the roadside, and if there is a need for people in the place where the house is built, the aunts will come to help urgently.

The old lady and the aunt completely restricted them from entering the construction site, just to prevent them from touching or knocking, that is, they were walking, at this time Yang Heng confined them to their own yards, and even adults and children ate, Yang Heng also set up a shed outside, not allowing the uncles and children to enter Yang Heng's yard to eat, the uncles are very understanding, and even the aunts consciously go outside to eat, even if they enter the courtyard, they also clean up their bodies neatly, will come in and say a few words to the old lady and the aunt, none of them are jealous, because they all have the idea of having a few more children, with this idea, naturally when they are pregnant again, they will also let Yang Heng design how to move, how to rest, how to maintain, naturally at that time, they will also be treated with the old lady and the aunt.

With the development of the work, the things that the children learn are also useful, the previous thousand characters have been learned, in fact, Yang Heng knows that he has learned almost, and Yang Heng does not know, it will naturally not be replaced by simplified Chinese characters in later generations, in order to allow his younger brothers and sisters to continue to learn, Yang Heng took out arithmetic, and even Arabic numerals, but this time, Dandan's ability is the strongest, his ability to learn arithmetic, Yang Heng even sighed to himself, He didn't have such a strong comprehension ability as Dandan at his age in his previous life.

In this way, the counting of wood was handed over to Dandan, and he led several other children to count the trees and mark them, so that Yang Heng and Uncle could easily sort out the trees as needed, and there was no need to calculate every few trees, which would delay a lot of time.
