"Your Highness, the grass people and others have thought about it, so they will call it Coal Stone Village."

Liu Chuan, the elder of the Liu family, said a name as soon as he came up, Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head after hearing it, there is no coal mine near Wu2 Village, what is it called "Coal and Stone Village"?

And coal and stone...... Coal ...... Mold?

It's not a good name, and it doesn't mean well.

"Why don't you call it Briquette Village?"

"Or maybe it's called Coal Furnace Village?"

"It can't be called cinder village, can it?"

Several old people in the village were discussing the word "coal" over and over again, and Zhu Gaoxuan was a little embarrassed when he heard it.

However, he just shook his head, and did not give any opinions, letting them think for themselves, since they wanted to change their names, they thought for themselves, so as not to be satisfied.

"Your Highness, do you think it's called Blackstone Village? In this way, it is easy for us to remember, and it is easy for Your Highness to remember. ”

After being rejected by Zhu Gaoxuan several times in a row, Liu Erdan proposed another name that seemed more reliable to Zhu Gaoxuan.

"Blackstone? I remember how famous it looked? ”

Zhu Gao paused for a moment, thinking of a very famous village that he had heard of in his previous life, and then nodded and said:

"Blackstone is a very powerful name, you have to work hard to make Blackstone Village bigger and stronger."

Blackstone, that's a powerful name?

The villagers of Fifty-two Village are all puzzled, but they can change the name of the village before deciding on it.

"Blackstone Village! From now on, our village will be called Blackstone Village. ”

"Our village has its own name."

Several old people shouted excitedly, and some even shed tears, and Zhu Gaoxuan was puzzled.

It's just a matter of changing the name of the village, is it necessary to be so excited?

It's true that he can't understand as a person from modern times, but it's good that the people are happy.

He shook his head, ignoring the excitement of these people, and raised his feet to go up to the second floor.

However, when I saw a hammer at the top of the stairs, I walked over and lifted it, about twenty pounds, not heavy but not light.

After walking a few steps, he came to the corner of the stairs, and he smashed down the stairs in front of him, more than fifty times in a row, before smashing a corner of cement open.

Liu Li, who heard the movement, was originally going to take over Zhu Gaoyu to smash the stairs, but he refused.

For security issues, it's best to check for yourself.

Although during the construction of Heishi Village, Liu Erdan, a kid, went to Liangwangfu from time to time to ask for advice and instructions, he would also give a few words of advice based on memory.

But that's a remote pointer, and while you're confident about these buildings, you still have to check them carefully.

"Your Highness, rest assured, these stairs are all built by tying thin vines with the hardest and toughest mangosteen, and then pouring cement, and they are absolutely strong."

At this time, Liu Chuan, the village elder, stood up and explained proudly that they had smashed the stairs several times in such an experiment.

"Yes, it's hard enough."

Zhu Gaoxuan took a breath, straightened his waist, handed the hammer to Liu Li beside him, and smiled with satisfaction.

In ancient times, when you didn't have steel bars, you had to use bamboo and hardwood instead of steel bars.

Although the strength and steel of bamboo are completely incomparable, as long as you find the right bamboo, it is more than enough to build a three-story house.

At the same time, he was already thinking about what excuse to use to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for the mining rights of Lantian Iron Mine.

In ancient times, salt and iron were absolute official camps.

smuggling some salt, because it is a civilian material, the emperor can still turn a blind eye; But once the iron is moved, even if it is his own son, the emperor can cut you down.

Therefore, even if he knew where the iron ore in Lantian was, and knew that the more advanced iron smelting technology was known, Zhu Gaoxuan did not mine it, and spent a lot of money to buy iron ingots from other places.

is to prevent Lao Zhu from doubting and suspicion.

However, this iron ore can only be sought slowly, and there is no urgency.

Subsequently, under Zhu Gaoxuan's instructions, Liu Li smashed a hole in a wall, and also smashed a hole in the corridor.

The two holes were smashed down, and even if he was well-trained, Liu Li, who was strong and strong, had a little trembling arms.

"Very good...... Very good, the person who built this house was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”

Seeing the quality of this building, Zhu Gaoxuan was also surprised, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, the first use of cement and red bricks, can have such a good quality, it is really amazing to him.

Originally, he just wanted to simply build a house first, survive this winter, and then develop and rebuild slowly, and even he wanted to wait for the steel bar to be smelted and then have a major infrastructure.

I didn't expect the wisdom of the ancients to be able to bring cement and red bricks into full play to such an extent.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Liang, His Royal Highness is gracious."

Hearing of his reward, the people of Blackstone fell to their knees.

This one hundred taels of silver, Zhu Gaoxuan did not specify who he would give it to, they could divide it equally, and this house was built by their whole village together.

By the way, that Zhao Youneng also shared his points, he designed it;

By the way, Lao Chen from the next village also gave some, and the bamboo was cut by their village, although their village also paid for it.

Also, Fifty-One Village is also divided, and they also help build houses, although they came to steal teachers.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't know the discussion of everyone in the Black Stone Village behind him, and continued to walk up, directly to the staircase on the top floor.

"Your Highness, wait a minute, the roof is not dry yet."

Just as he was about to step out of the stairwell, Liu Erdan hurriedly stopped him.

"The roof hasn't dried? Let me see. ”

He pushed open the door to the roof, and it was white.

Instead of a traditional sloping roof, the three-storey building has a flat roof with a low wall, which is indeed suitable for places in the northwest where there is little rain.

However, if you use hydrated lime to lay the roof, you are afraid that it will leak in heavy rain, and it is likely to collapse the roof in case of heavy snow.

"Liu Erdan, when winter comes, add a sloping roof, even if it is a thatched roof, and make sure that the rain and snow can be drained quickly."

"Ah...... And a roof? We can still dry grain on such a roof, you see how good the grain is in the drying field.

And with a thatched roof, it's too ugly. ”

It's a pity that Liu Erdan can't understand Zhu Gaoxuan's worries, and the same Zhu Gaoxuan doesn't need them to understand, as long as they implement it.

"It must be added, even if you are ugly, you must add it, this is an order."

"Oh...... Yes, sir. ”

Liu Erdan heard Zhu Gaoxuan say that it was an order, and he didn't dare to speak out.

After turning around, he went to the room below to take a look, although there was no furniture, it was very warm and warm, and he wanted to build his own Liangwang Mansion.

Twelve small buildings, the format is exactly the same, but after reading it, Zhu Gaoxuan thought of a word [rough house].

Although the main body has been built, and it has been scraped into white lime, it looks very clean, but it is a rough house, and even the door has not been installed, and the windows are empty.

Blackstone Village is about to hold a housewarming banquet, and it is really anxious.

However, when Zhu Gaoxuan and their visit were accepted, he knew why Heishi Village was in such a hurry to hold a housewarming banquet.
