Although there are no brick kilns and bricklayers in the west, fortunately, there are still many carpenters.

Basically, every village has people who can do carpentry work, but in Yin Leia's territory, the ordinary people have a very bad opinion of lizardmen.

Some of them had relatives or friends who had died at the hands of the lizardmen, and they hated and feared the robbers who lived in the swamps.

Even though Li Yu had asked the lizardmen to remove the monitor lizard's head that could be worn on their bodies, so that they did not look much different from ordinary humans in appearance, when they heard that they were going to work on the land where the lizardmen lived, even if Li Yu was willing to pay double the pay, no one was willing to respond.

In the end, Li Yu could only find five carpenters from the Black Rock City next door, plus the assistants they brought, a total of twelve people.

After some testing, Li Yu left two carpenters who were good and honest enough, as well as the three assistants they brought, and the rest gave them a hard work fee, and asked Yin Leiya to send someone to send them back.

Li Yu hoped that the two carpenters and their assistants could stay for a long time.

Talent is the most scarce at any time, especially those with professional skills.

The lizard people looked at the carpentry masters per capita, set up a treehouse, the whole people participated, and everyone was in full swing, anyone could go up and take the handle, but they took the wild route, and after the work came out, a wandering skeleton was highlighted, and nothing could be done except the treehouse and some of the wooden tools they commonly used.

There is still a lot of gap from Li Yu's requirements.

In contrast, the two carpenters were much more reliable, one of them was a human being, in his early forties, because his father was a carpenter, and he had also practiced a good craft since childhood.

The other is a half-orc, who is just 100 years old this year, and when he is strong, he can do the work of one person to top two.

Both of them were involved in the construction of the castle, mainly responsible for the construction of the outer scaffolding, various temporary wooden scaffolding, and the coupon frame that could support the arch, and the human also presided over the construction of the bridge, not to mention the construction of various types of furniture.

They also carried a complete range of tools, hammers, axes, saws, and chisels.

Li Yu is still the old way, smashing with money.

Offer them twice their usual income, and get two days off for every five days in exchange for them settling permanently on the land.

Both of them were clearly a little moved.

Among them, the half-orc carpenter, nicknamed Nine Fingers, quickly agreed, and the remaining middle-aged people seemed a little hesitant.

Blackstone and Greenfield weren't far away, and he had heard a little bit about what was going on here, even though the man named Merlin had repeatedly assured him that the lizardmen's crisis had been properly resolved.

In the future, no one will rush out of the swamp and burn and loot in this vicinity, but it is about himself and the safety of his relatives, so he can't be careless.

In addition, there is another thing that he cares about, that is, there are no followers of the goddess of the silver moon in this land, and all the people who live are heretics, and they believe in a strange god called Saturday.

This made the middle-aged carpenter very uneasy.

Li Yu could understand this uneasiness, so he bought a wooden planer on Taobao for fifty-five yuan and gave it to the middle-aged carpenter as a housewarming gift.

The latter was soon struck by the ease with which the surface of the wood could be flattened, and was fascinated by it, and held it in his arms day and night, wanting to plane it wherever he went.

Eventually, he agreed to stay.

In addition to the three assistants brought by the two, there were five carpenters on the territory, and Li Yu divided fifty lizardmen to help them, forming a team of five carpenters.

On the other side, the designer contacted by Li Yu also sent the finished design drawings.

He has been a designer for so many years, and he has never received such a strange order.

As soon as the customer came up, he said that he wanted a brick and wood structure, not to use the most common reinforced concrete as building materials, which is okay, after all, these days, pure wood houses are being built, although there are fewer and fewer bricks, but it is not too outrageous.

But the latter request shocked him, the opposite side actually didn't want him to design electricity and running water, and he didn't need a toilet and bathroom, but the kitchen needed a chimney, and the flue had to be connected to the sleeping kang in the bedroom.

The designer who saw it called his dream back to his childhood, thinking that he hadn't met his fellow countrymen, wasn't this design just the Northeast Kang in his hometown?

I couldn't help but be enthusiastic between my words, and at the same time, I couldn't help but ask more out of professionalism, "Boss, what are you going to do with this toilet?" ”

Li Yu replied, "I'm going to build a public toilet outside, well, it's the kind that can be shared by more than a dozen households." ”

The designer dreamed back to his childhood again, and suddenly understood, "Aqua toilet!" Then don't look for someone else, I'll send you a copy of the design of the dry toilet, this thing is everywhere, just make a friend, but don't you really want water and electricity? ”

Aqua toilets, fire kangs, these things are relatively common even in the countryside now, but there are not many places without water and electricity these years, especially electricity, and many deep ravines and ravines have pulled wires into them.

Li Yu didn't explain, just continued to type, "No, you can make the design drawings and send them to me first, if it's okay, I'll look for you again in the follow-up to build a public bathhouse." ”

Although there were still a lot of doubts in his heart, the designer still sent the first version of the design to Li Yu two days later, and Li Yu put forward several revisions after reading it.

After the designer changed it again according to the requirements, Li Yu asked him a few questions a day later, but this time it was not a revision, most of them were related to specific construction, and some were still very naïve.

The designer patiently replied, and Li Yu finally expressed his satisfaction.

Soon after, the designer sent a complete design plan, including land size, construction area, cost estimate, construction parameters, and various architectural drawings, structural drawings and water supply and drainage drawings.

Li Yu also paid the final payment very happily.

Overall, it was a very satisfying deal for both parties, and although the designer felt that the request of the opposite customer was a bit strange, he did not take it too seriously.

At this time, he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of a long cooperation between the two in the future, and what the other party asked him to help design in the future would only become more outrageous each time.

And his self-perceived mediocre designs will soon become popular throughout the continent of Bratis, worshipped by countless stonemasons and carpenters, and even lead a huge artistic trend.

Of course, that's all for later.
