The plot selected by Long Xiang is very square, and he personally participated in the stage of setting the pile and setting the line, and planned to build a 'model community' as a template.

The planning of the whole community is an array of square layouts, with ten households arranged horizontally, which can save the bricks for public walls;

Between the groups, there is a two-zhang wide public road, and the ten groups are wrapped by a wall, and the community wells are drilled in the four corners of the wall, forming a unified whole.

Long Xiang directly copied the layout of the community in later generations to the Three Kingdoms era, but in fact, the area of these 100 communities is not as good as that of the Hou Mansion in Hefei.

The novel house type and novel layout are like a city in the city, so during the construction period, there are often people who have nothing to do to see it.

On the day of the groundbreaking, Long Champ changed his clothes and went out in person, not only teaching people to sift sand and ash, but also demonstrating to the masons how to use bricks to build culverts, as well as plastering and collecting light in the culverts.

In the shallow pit dug in advance, Long Xiang used blue bricks to place the concave canal, and directly plastered and collected the light on the inner wall of the canal after the masonry.

After plastering, it is dried for one day, sealed with bricks on the top of the culvert and then plastered, and the concealment works are completed on the third day.

At this point, a simple drainage system is complete.

The drainage culvert starts from the vegetable pond and laundry pool in the backyard, connects the thatched house and the pigsty halfway, and then flows into the sewage pool outside the courtyard through a high slope, and the pool is shaded by wooden planks to avoid odor.

Long Xiang explained to the craftsmen while demonstrating that because there is not much technical difficulty, everyone learns very quickly, and they can draw scoops according to the gourd after watching for a while.

Although there is no construction machinery in this era, the foundation of the small courtyard on the first floor is shallow, and the structure is relatively simple.

In the case of a large number of people and sufficient materials, the height of one person can be built in one day, and the main structure can be completed in about three days, followed by the roof decoration and grass, and a suite can be built in seven or eight days.

As for the doors and windows, they will be processed by the carpenter according to the holes left, and then slowly installed.

According to the construction plan of Longxiang Platoon, each team performs its own duties and does its own thing, and promotes it as a whole in a row of ten households.

By mid-June, the project was in the final stages.

After installing the last door of the community, Long Xiang took the generals above the head of the Hefei team to the site for an 'acceptance visit'.

Everyone entered from the south gate of the community, and the houses in front of them were neatly arranged, with completely unified construction standards, like a standing army.

The epoch-making planning and design brought a visual impact to everyone.

During the visit, some people whispered discussions from time to time, and the words of praise were endless.

"The brick house is stronger than the clay sculpture, and it will be warm in winter and cool in summer when you live in it in the future."

"That culvert is amazing, I just poured a bucket of water in the laundry pool, and it really ended up flowing into the sewage sink behind the hospital..."

"I want to be able to live here in the future, and I will go back to my own thatched house to relieve myself, and my own fertilizer will be used for watering my own vegetables."

"Then you have to be careful, the cesspool of these houses is outside the backyard, and the vegetable patch is located in the front yard, have you ever picked up manure and fertilized the hall?"

"Are you stupid? Can't I grow vegetables in the backyard and raise chickens in the front yard? ”

"I think you're stupid, it's okay to keep chickens in the front yard, but you can't keep pigs in the front yard too? If you want me, I will tell my neighbor in the back to use the manure from the other party's cesspool. ”

"Just what you're going to think? Who do the southernmost and northernmost households borrow fertilizer? ”

"Haha, the southernmost and northernmost part, it's best to live in the craftsman brothers, and if you don't grow vegetables at home, you don't need to be fattened."

......

The soldiers were already discussing the question of moving in, while Lu Su pressed the gap between the bricks with his hands.

When Long Xiang saw it, he asked curiously, "What is Zijing thinking?" ”

"This cement is really a good thing, not only does it have enough adhesive strength, but I think the hardness is also quite good, if the whole wall is smeared like the inside of the culvert, and then the surface is painted, who knows that there are green bricks hidden inside?" Lu Su asked thoughtfully.

Long Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart I just built the house, and you actually considered the exterior wall decoration?

"Paint the whole wall... That is, the meaning of plastering and lighting, the paint on the outside is not only not easy to fall off, but also looks more beautiful, but now the cement workshop has just been built, there are difficulties such as unfamiliar personnel, shortage of raw materials, etc., the daily output is relatively limited, and the output will be said in the future..."

After hearing this, Feng Zhong hurriedly agreed: "It's already good to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, there is no need to waste cement plastering the wall." ”

"Hehe, Lao Feng has been waiting for this day for a long time, and when the time comes, I must remember the door of your house, so as not to come to the wrong door for dinner." Tang Yu joked with a smile on the side.

Feng Zhong shook his head lightly: "There are only 100 new houses, and there are thousands of households in Hefei City, and it is not certain whether they can be distributed..."

"You can't live in a new house, so who is eligible to live in a new house?"

Tang Yu pursed his mouth, and said in his heart that you are too modest.

Feng Zhong was noncommittal, glanced at Long Xiang and said, "Anyway, it's only a hundred sets, and Yunqi can divide it no matter what." ”

Real estate was also a luxury in ancient times, and when it comes to the distribution of property, there must be a conflict of interest.

Lu Su and Long Xiang lived in the Junsima Mansion and had no intention of fighting for a new house.

Seeing that Long Xiang had not expressed his position, Lu Su took the initiative to ask: "Yunqi, the bricks burned this year have been used up almost, and if you want to continue to build a new house, you have to wait for next year, how do you think about the distribution?" ”

"What is there to consider? First come, first served..."

Tang Yu almost rushed out, but he regretted it immediately after he finished speaking, because the Xu brothers were the latest, but the expressions of the two were also very natural.

Long Xiang looked at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Tang Yu.

"In the past few days, many people have come to ask me, but they didn't give a positive answer at that time, and today on the way here, I figured out that the first come, first

Tang Yu has always remembered Feng Zhong in his heart, he knows that his old friend has been waiting for this new house for a long time, although he doesn't believe that Long Xiang will treat his own people badly, but he still nervously asked: "Then how do you say to divide it?" Lao Feng should have a share, right? ”

Long Xiang nodded solemnly: "Needless to say, Uncle Zhong, all of you present have a share, I plan to directly divide one set for each person according to the level of official position, and if you can't get it, wait for the next year, your original vacant house will just be given to those who need it." ”

"I have it too? Then I want to be neighbors with Lao Feng..."

Tang Yu first looked happy, then frowned and shook his head: "No, no, no... I'm still living with Yunqi..."

Long Xiang smiled slightly: "Uncle Yu is right to think so, you can't vacate the old house when you live here, and now this new house, you can live in eight or nine of them, and the whole family can fit it..."

"Hehe, Yunqi is right, I'm alone, so I won't come to join in the fun..."Tang Yu scratched his head and smiled.

Lu Su frowned and reminded: "The distribution according to the level of the position is easy to involve the same problem as General Tang, if the family occupies a big house with fewer people, will it be a bit wasteful?" Why not distribute it to those who need him more? ”

Long Xiang shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "Uncle Yu lives in the Junma Mansion, and he doesn't have his own house, but the rest of the generals have homes, and it is impossible to ask them to give up the new house, and besides, they will follow me to birth and death, and if there are good things, they will naturally give priority to their own people, otherwise who will be willing to help me in the future?" ”

"What do you mean by clear rewards and punishments? Yunqi is right to do this, no wonder the brothers are happy and convinced of you. ”

Xu Ding, who had not spoken, also stood up to support Long Xiang.
