Chapter 233: Back to the Village (9)
The craftsmen are too young, at the age of twenty or thirty years old, Qi Ke doesn't care, she is also a young person, the disadvantage of being young is nothing more than having less practical experience than the elderly, but as long as the basic skills are solid and open-minded, they can also be adjusted.
In Qi Ke's opinion, these young craftsmen are just in time, and she is in urgent need of a talent-foreman.
Without a foreman, who will be responsible for the overall coordination?
Qi Ke then held a slightly smaller banquet, invited the newly settled craftsmen to eat, and gave them red envelopes to start work, and they had to worry about the next work.
When the craftsmen learned that they had settled in Siliu Village, Erma Town, they had already been told that there was a job waiting for them, so when Qi Ke handed out red envelopes at the banquet, everyone accepted them with a smile, and generously said that they were all villagers in the same village, and they would definitely do a good job.
With these craftsmen, Qi Ke is much easier, as the owner, she just needs to pay for it.
The houses in the village were seriously damaged, and the first batch of villagers who moved in were already living in dilapidated houses, and the second group could only sleep in tents, and they didn't have time to build their new houses, so they first renovated Zhuangzi for Qi Ke.
Qi Ke made a very affordable promise that the renovated house could be used to house the craftsmen's families first, and they would live there until their new house was built.
This greatly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm to work, plus the food is good, the meal has meat, several sheep are killed a day, and there is a seafood soup boiled with fresh shellfish every day, and there is no shortage of oil and water in the stomach to work naturally and strongly, attracting many people in the county to come to find work to do, even if they do odd jobs, they can get a meal.
In the process of renovating the house, Qi Ke found that the earthen blast furnace still had to be built now, otherwise it would be very annoying to lack iron tools and tools.
And when transferring the materials of the earth blast furnace to the predetermined site, Qi Ke produced drawings and dispatched a few carpenters to make a few big guys according to the drawings, wooden hand-cranked cranes, which are dedicated to moving heavy masonry materials from the ground to high places or from high places to the ground, with this thing, everyone works much faster and much safer.
The potters who make pottery fan go to the mountains to find a suitable place to build a kiln, and Qi Ke arranges to send people to deliver ingredients and clean clothes every two days.
People come and go in the village every day, and the hand-cranked crane is naturally passed on by word of mouth, also in Erma Town, which is a big construction project, Chengfeng heard about it and came to Siliu Village to take a look, and then asked Qi Ke to leave the drawings, free of charge, because Qi Ke and Bai Qing had an appointment in advance, the contract was not signed in vain, the technology was shared, and people other than Bai Jiajun wanted it, so they had to spend money to buy it.
Qi Ke didn't care how much the drawings of the hand-rocking crane could be sold, the work of renovating the Zhuangzi was taken care of by craftsmen, and even the cattle and sheep she deliberately grazed in the farmland were picked up by the villagers, and a few temporary corrals were built outside the Zhuangzi facing the water.
The alfalfa in the farmland grows as much as possible, and the weeds that were originally tall are gradually decreasing at an unnoticeable rate, and when Qi Ke reacts one day, alfalfa is already the majority of the farmland, and the weeds are sparsely growing in the east and west.
Qi Ke felt that she might have figured out the reason why weeds didn't grow in the farmland in the Qianhe Realm, she squinted her eyes happily and smiled, waiting for next spring sowing, she probably didn't have to worry about weeding.
