When Hua'an heard this, he was slightly stunned, when considering the construction of multi-storey houses, he only came up with this plan from the position of improving land utilization, but he did not think deeply.

The main structure of the house is all wood, and wood is a very flammable material, if you burn firewood in the room, it is easy to cause a fire, so that the whole group of houses will be burned by the fire, and even, it may affect the surrounding houses, resulting in a large area of fire.

Hua'an is very clear that the problem of fire is not a trivial matter, and it must be fully considered, that is to say, it is necessary to let the people who live in it be able to safely make a fire to cook, and this era still relies on firewood as fuel, for this reason, the cooking area must be separated from the house as far as possible to avoid causing fire, and in this way, it is necessary to build a thatched hut dedicated to cooking next to the house, so as to solve the problem of cooking for the people.

Hua'an thought about it carefully, there is a gap between the two rows of tall houses, after all, for the lighting and ventilation of the back row of houses, it is very necessary to leave a spacing, and if a thatched hut for cooking is built on this vacant land, it can solve the problem of cooking for the residents, which is a good idea, Hua'an feels that it can be completely implemented.

In addition, Hua'an soon thought that since the people living there are requirements for eating, there are naturally also requirements for excretion, for this reason, in addition to setting up temporary convenience in the house, it must also be equipped with thatched houses, and the thatched houses can be equipped with one between several groups of houses, and the people are usually convenient in the house. When the sun is about to set, the filth in the container is taken to the hut and dumped, so that the problem of eating, drinking, and lazing that the people urgently need can be solved.

Of course, in addition to the problem of eating, drinking, and Lazar, there are also many problems such as draft, travel, and anti-theft that need to be solved. However, Huaan felt that there was no need to consider these problems alone, he only needed to give a general direction, and as for how to design, these must be completed by specialized craftsmen.

At this time, the pre-sale of the shop was carried out so smoothly that Huaan felt that it was necessary to strike while the iron was hot. Craftsmen were asked to come up with a plan to build a house, so that after the merchants had purchased the shop, they would be encouraged to continue buying the house to increase their income.

After exchanging views with his subordinates for a while, Hua An rode back to the palace with his men and immediately summoned several craftsmen who were responsible for building the streets, and asked them to immediately start working on a plan for the construction of housing, the scale of which it would be built, and the approximate requirements. Sue them all.

After receiving the order, the craftsmen went out of the city without stopping. At Huaan's request, a detailed survey of the vacant land outside the city was carried out to determine how the housing would be built.

After the craftsmen left, Wang Meng looked at Hua'an and said, "Your Majesty, now Luoyang City is not only repairing the palace. Moreover, it is necessary to build new streets, rebuild city walls, and build houses, which requires great craftsmen, and it is far from enough to rely on craftsmen for dozens of miles around Luoyang City, in order to speed up the progress of construction. You'll have to recruit artisans from farther afield! After speaking, he frowned.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said: "General Wang is right, Luoyang City is making such a big move, the demand for craftsmen is really too great, especially skilled craftsmen, it is very scarce!" This king felt that it was necessary to recruit craftsmen from the direction of Guanzhong, what did General Wang think? ”

Hearing this, Wang Meng nodded and said: "What Wang Shang said is extremely true, now, there is no large-scale construction in the direction of Guanzhong, and it is the most suitable to recruit skilled craftsmen from the direction of Guanzhong to Luoyang, but this is not enough, Wang Shang should also recruit skilled craftsmen from the direction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou." ”

"Why do you want to recruit craftsmen from Jingzhou and Yangzhou?" Hua An asked casually.

Obviously, Hua'an felt that Jingzhou and Yangzhou were not within the scope of his governor, so he rashly posted the notice of recruiting craftsmen to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, I am afraid that it is too eye-catching.

Wang Meng thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the scale of the construction of Luoyang City this time is too large, and the demand for craftsmen, especially skilled craftsmen, is particularly high. ”

"General Wang is right, one more craftsman will be of great help to the progress of the construction." Zhuge Xiong also loudly agreed.

Hua'an felt that this was also the case, so he immediately issued an order to let his henchmen go to Guanzhong, Hebei, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou and other locations to recruit a large number of skilled craftsmen to speed up the construction of Luoyang City.

A few days later, the publicity period of the real model of the shop has ended, and all the merchants in Luoyang City have officially signed the agreement to buy the shop, and according to the price after the bidding, they paid the purchase fee on the spot.

In order to ensure the order and safety of the trading site, Hua'an sent a thousand soldiers of the guards to control all the important entrances and exits of the entire street, and asked the shops on the street where the pavilion is located to be closed for half a day, and all pedestrians were not allowed to enter the street.

Due to the adequate preparation, the pre-sale site of the shop was very orderly, and all the merchants paid according to the price that had been finalized, and obtained the title deed issued by the officials, and then left happily.

After all the merchants had bought and left, the officials packed all their money into large boxes prepared in advance, and then, escorted by a thousand soldiers of the Guard, to the northern palace.

Soon, a large amount of money, escorted by the soldiers of the guards, arrived in the North Palace, and was stored in the second courtyard of the North Palace, which was the warehouse of the money of the entire North Palace, enough to store a large amount of money.

Now. Since the financial resources are sufficient, the expansion of Luoyang City and the construction of new streets can naturally be carried out smoothly.

Considering the anti-theft consideration, Huaan decided to expand the city wall first, and wait until the wall was built to a sufficient height. The original walls were demolished, and only then could the construction of shops and streets begin, and finally the construction of houses.

However, since a large number of skilled craftsmen are restoring the palace, for this reason, the expansion work may be carried out very slowly before the craftsmen from Guanzhong and other places arrive in Luoyang City, after all. The expansion of the palace is even more important, and the construction is already in full swing, and if the plan is changed due to the expansion of the city wall, it will seriously affect the progress of the palace's restoration.

"Your Majesty, among the craftsmen in the palace, we have transferred dozens of craftsmen. Five or six thousand laborers were drawn from the common people in the vicinity, and now. Work on the expansion of the city walls has begun. A general walked up to Hua'an and reported loudly.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "Okay, it's really good, although these recruited people may not have good skills." However, the construction of the city wall is a heavy work, and the requirements for skill are not very high, and there are dozens of craftsmen in charge of commanding, so the work of building the city wall should be completed very well. After speaking, he looked at the generals beside him.

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in approval.

"Your Majesty. It takes a lot of stone to build the city wall, and a lot of wood is needed to build a house in the future, and we don't have many of these materials in reserve, so we must prepare these as much as possible, otherwise, after a large number of craftsmen arrive in Luoyang City, they will not be able to start building quickly! Wang San looked at Hua An and said.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded slightly, and said softly: "Nowadays, we are carrying out such large-scale construction, and the demand for materials such as stone, wood and lacquer is very huge, but there are two ways to prepare these things, one is to buy directly from the merchants, and the other is to go to the field to mine and buy from the merchants, which is naturally the best and most convenient way, but our demand is too great now, and the merchants of Luoyang City cannot provide enough materials, so they must go to the field to mine by themselves!" After speaking, he looked at the subordinate beside him.

"Your Majesty, now, almost all the laborers around Luoyang City have been requisitioned by us, and there is no surplus manpower to send, should we allocate some new soldiers to the mountains to mine stone and timber?" Zhuge Xiong asked softly.

Obviously, due to the need to repair the imperial palace and build a new city wall, a lot of available labor around Luoyang City has been drained, and it is simply impossible to mobilize more labor to carry out the work of mining stone and wood.

Hua An thought carefully for a moment, and said: "General Zhuge is right, in this case, it is time to let the recruits undertake this task, but the defense around Luoyang City is also very important, so this king thinks that as long as 20,000 recruits are sent to mine in the mountains near Luoyang City." ”

Obviously, Hua'an did not want to greatly weaken the defenses around Luoyang City because of the mining of stone and wood, so as not to give potential enemies an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the demand for stone and wood for such a large-scale construction of streets and houses is very huge, and with only 20,000 recruits, I am afraid that it will be difficult to effectively supply them!" Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded, and said: "This problem is naturally very clear to this king, but the preparation of stones and timber does not have to be all around Luoyang City, as long as Luoshui and the Yellow River pass through, the preparation of stones and timber can be carried out, and then, these mined stones and timber are loaded onto the ship and transported to Luoyang City by waterway, so that the problem of shortage of stones and timber can be well solved?" After speaking, he looked at the generals beside him.

Hua'an is right, the preparation of stones and wood, there is no need to carry out all around Luoyang City, after all, the resources around Luoyang City are very limited, it is difficult to supply all the demand, and Luoyang City is on the verge of Luoshui's advantage, so that the materials in the rest of the place can be transported to Luoyang City very smoothly, so to solve the current situation of resource shortage in Luoyang City, it can be completed by relying on the transportation of waterways.

"Does the king mean that the officials of Luoshui and the counties along the Yellow River will be responsible for raising the wood and stone needed for Luoyang City?" Wang San asked in a low voice.

Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, in Luoshui and along the Yellow River, Yiyang, Qixiang, Yanshi, Gongxian, Chenggao, Mengjin and other officials in all cities, must mobilize the people in the jurisdiction to mine the mountains and forests near Luoshui and the banks of the Yellow River, and load the quarried stones and timber on ships and transport them to Luoyang City as soon as possible. ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded very approvingly, Hua'an's approach can be described as very reasonable and wise, which not only solves the problem of shortage of stone and wood, but also does not cost too much money, after all, after handing over the task to officials in various places, Hua'an can completely control the price of mining stone and wood, and if the strategy of buying from the hands of merchants is adopted, the merchants are likely to raise the price because Luoyang City urgently needs these materials, so that the cost of building streets and houses will greatly increase, evenIt is very likely that the cost of construction will be greater than the cost of sale, and this will completely disrupt Hua'an's established plan, so in order to control the cost, Hua'an handed over the work of mining stone and timber to the county officials, and will pay accordingly according to the labor and transportation costs required to mine these materials.

The task reached the counties along the Luoshui and the Yellow River in the fastest possible time, and the county officials, after receiving Hua'an's order, immediately began to organize manpower to go to the mountains near Luoshui or the banks of the Yellow River to mine stone and timber, and at the same time, dispatch large fishing boats to be responsible for transporting the prepared timber and stone to the direction of Luoyang City.

While the mining work in each county was proceeding in an orderly manner, several craftsmen had already completed the planning plan for the construction of the house and handed it over to Hua'an.

After Huaan read it, he was generally very satisfied, but he was still not satisfied with some details, so he asked them to revise it from scratch. (To be continued......)
