12. Villas
The laid-back pie was born.
If Liu Bai was given a chance to be reborn, he would definitely not choose to build a house in such a cheating place, and meet a cheating person by the way.
All the beautiful masters he met in other people's stories were beautiful masters, but he met a bad old man, or a bad old man without discipline.
Gradually, a few days later, Liu Bai also got used to life in the mountains and forests, especially taking a walk in the sun every day, which is a more leisurely life.
Whenever he saw a cultivator walking into the forest with high morale, and then seeing them come out in embarrassment, the happiness in Liu Bai's heart continued to improve.
Probably because of the old man's transcendent status in Qinglong Town, he soon became anxious and more than 30 people began to be busy, began to dig the soil and lay the foundation according to Liu Bai's idea, and then began to carry wood and masonry, and began to build the villa in Liu Bai's mind.
The old man followed Liu Bai's ass every day and wanted to read the novels he wrote, but Liu Bai didn't have any ** to write at all, because he suddenly felt that laziness was also a state of life, and it was also a pleasure to fish and barbecue here leisurely every day.
Affection for the countryside, affection for the mountains and forests, perhaps this is the fun that the ancients once had. But the old man is too annoying, he has been following him all the time, and he follows him wherever he goes, which makes Liu Bai convinced, I have never seen such a thick-skinned character.
Seeing the very beautiful face of his villa, Liu Bai finally told the rest of the story to the old man, and the old man who listened to it was enthusiastic, and from time to time he was stunned, and he broke three tables.
After listening to the story of Xiao Yan's promotion to Douzong, the old man seemed to have some understanding, and hurriedly said goodbye to Liu Bai and rushed towards the place where he lived, not knowing what to think about or preparing to break through.
Such a state made Liu Bai secretly smack his tongue, he didn't expect the story to have such a powerful effect, he really didn't know what the consequences would be if he wrote this book. The reason why he didn't write the book so quickly was because he was preparing a foolproof plan, and he had to ensure his own safety to be able to promote the book.
Otherwise, if Dou Zong knew about this matter and had to forcibly take him away, he really had no way to protect himself, so he had to prepare in advance.
In the hot summer, Liu Bai took off his shirt and joined the workers, took a shovel and began to help build his villa. According to his original concept, the villa has completely incorporated the lake into his yard, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is the environment he wants.
The villa is constructed according to the standards of the earth, which can be described as a maverick, and it is a novelty in the town.
The villa is only built with two floors, but the foundation is full of five floors, because Liu Bai is going to build a two-story villa first, and a large pavilion will be built above the two floors, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and can also shade the sun and insulate the heat. In the evening, you can also move a table and chair to blow the lake breeze and drink tea.
The two-storey villa is also very particular, about 500 square meters up and down, and the layout in the room has not been purchased for the time being, but Liu Bai is ready to buy some precious items as decorations after he has the first funds, and by the way, let the old man go to the mountains to fight a few white tigers to peel the skin and make a stall.
The first floor is temporarily occupied by the living room, with only one bathroom and a kitchen, and the second floor is furnished by Liu Bai as a bedroom, and two rooms are used as guest rooms.
To the right of the master bedroom is a wooden floor-to-ceiling door, which is already a product of this era. There is a balcony of about 80 square meters on the outside of the floor-to-ceiling door, which is just the right time to enjoy the early morning sun, and the first rays can enter the room.
At the easternmost end of the balcony is a Z-shaped staircase that leads directly to the roof, and the staircase is wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side. In order not to be too eye-catching, Liu Bai had to make the room in an ancient style, similar to most of the roofs in Qinglong Town, because there was a lot of rain, so the four corners were connected, outlining four beautiful assembly lines.
A week later, a beautiful villa appeared on the shore of the Great Round Lake, and Liu Bai walked out of the original place slowly, also holding a ball of clay in his hand and walking out into the sun, ready to test his movable type printing technique.
The so-called cement, that is, a clay plastic solid with certain adhesive properties, this is the method that Liu Bai learned from the craftsman's mouth, and tried to mix it several times, but he made it.
As he walked, Liu Bai recalled the information about printing in his heart. Printing is one of the four great inventions of ancient China, which was invented by the ancient Han working people after long-term practice and research, and movable type printing has several processes.
Since the invention of paper in the Han Dynasty, the writing materials have been much lighter and more economical than the oracle bones, slips, gold stones and silk used in the past, but copying books is still very labor-intensive and far from meeting the needs of society. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the latest, methods of copying and rubbing stone tablets appeared. Around 600 A.D., people were inspired by the engraving of seals and invented engraving printing for the first time in human history.
Engraving printing has played a major role in the dissemination of culture, but there are also obvious shortcomings: first, engraving is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, second, a large number of book plates are inconvenient to store, and third, there are typos that are not easy to correct.
Therefore, Liu Bai did not want to use engraving printing, he used Bi Sheng's improved clay movable type printing, which was much more flexible than engraving printing.
Liu Bai came to a tree stump and sat down, picked up the small square he had made, and then covered it with the cement, and after the cement filled the square, he engraved the anti-character word at one end, and the height of the protrusion of the character was like the thickness of the edge of the copper coin.
After about three minutes, Liu Bai saw that the color of the cement had turned yellow, and immediately reached out and took it out, and sighed in his heart: "The writer in this world is really bad, and he even has to do the printing himself." ”
Holding the hardened cement, Liu Bai came to the table, took some ink, and gently pressed it on the white paper.
After taking it away, the word "trench" was clearly printed on it, and it was neatly worked, as if carved out of a mold.
"Not bad. Liu Bai nodded, he didn't expect the experiment to be successful once.
Seeing this, he put the clay aside, took out a fresh wolf leg, and began to roast it on the fire. Since the experiment has been successful, there is naturally no need for him to do anything else, because the old man will naturally do the rest.
