Chapter 227: Workshop Manor
The inside of the gatehouse at the gate was also cleaned up according to the drawings, and Gu Erzhu decided to go to the woods behind to take a turn to see how the progress was there.
At this time, after listening to his words, Liu Shi knew in his heart.
Although it is not possible to do it for twenty taels of silver, but forty taels of silver for all of them, it is also a fortunate thing to end here.
At home, the child, she is not worried, she is worried that the money is loose, the child's father is confused for a while, and she thinks about the white-eyed wolf nephew.
She thought so and said so, leaving Gu Erzhu speechless.
If it weren't for the necessity at the inn at that time, a careless person would have affected the reputation of his old son, and he would have been able to lend a silver ticket to an enemy who had calculated his old son.
It's the child's mother, why did you say you lent it to Dalang's daughter-in-law?
The eldest daughter-in-law instigated in front of Sanya last time, and Hu Niu said that from now on, she would never want to borrow half a penny from her, and she would not stand on her daughter-in-law's side.
What are you afraid of?
They want to move into the courtyard rented by Sanya in the county seat, won't they say that they can't be the master of a woman's family, and they have to wait for the head of the family to come back?
What an excuse to excuse yourself.
Don't mention it.
"Why don't you go home and eat and come back later?"
"I'm not tired, I've eaten well on the road, I'm not hungry at this time, I'd better go and see it first and then go home."
"When will the three girls come back, you should know in your heart, right?"
"For almost half a month, let's slowly move things over here, arrange the manpower, and when Sanya arrives home, the house stops, and the work starts here."
While the two were talking, Zhou Changgen, who was commanding on the other side of the woods, heard the news and ran over, and opened his mouth to see if he was free, so he went with him first and took a look later.
Gu Erzhu had this intention, let the Liu family get into a carriage, and Gu Dachang's eldest son drove the car, and she led the way to bring home the cages and packages she brought back.
Among them, there are things that Zhou Banxia gave to his mother's family, as well as the items that Zhou Shun asked him to bring back first, all of which were marked with notes, and he was not worried that Liu's arrangements would not be good.
"Should this side be replaced with a gravel road? The quarry steward was very talkative, bought a lot of bluestone slabs, and said that a cart of gravel would be half priced.
But when I went, I hid my heart, he said a car, I thought he was slow, let him send the bluestone slab over there, and let the people in our village pull the gravel.
Who of our farmers doesn't have the strength, and there happens to be a carpenter master, so I will let them take the handle to make the mule cart bigger, and how about pulling a few more carts back? ”
The place that the perimeter was referring to was the clearing where the wall of the backyard of the workshop led to the woods, and the bluestone path marked on the drawing was a waste.
It's not easy to walk on a rainy day, and the gravel road is no worse than the bluestone slab.
Since his in-laws can trust him, he gives him a lot of wages, and he also asks the housekeepers to listen to his arrangements.
If he is an uncle, he doesn't give his niece face, but he also has to save some money for his niece.
"Okay. We are laymen, and we can't trust you as a master, so you can do whatever you say. ”
Gu Erzhu happily agreed, and did not mention that other places on the drawings should not be changed without authorization.
There's no need, he said it again and again when he went out before, and he just mentioned it again.
Looking at the manpower again, it seems that there is no reduction in manpower, and he is busy dividing the scenes according to the drawings that those trees should be cut down and those that should be kept, Gu Erzhu is very relieved.
After reading this, the two of them went around to the back of the woods.
The open space here has been cleared and leveled, and the gravel is piled up next to the bluestone slabs.
He is now busy ramming the wall that connects the workshop to the west outside.
Gu Erzhu stepped forward to take a look, although the wall was only waist-high at this time after layering and tamping, he could see that the thickness of the wall would definitely not deviate too much.
According to his family's Liulang's idea, the battlements of the village wall here should also be able to walk people, and they should be at least half as wide as the battlements of the workshop.
Once in a disaster year, the hungry people are targeted and want to break through and rob the money and grain, the workshop as the first line of defense cannot be saved, and all the farmers in the manor will be put on the wall at that time.
Waiting for at least hundreds of people to go up to the wall buttress is not just looking at it and not moving, when the time comes, all stones and arrows will be on the wall to prepare, if the village wall is too narrow, it will not work.
However, these words are not good to say to Zhou Changgen, just like asking Zhou Changgen to build a house next, build a general plan first, and then rebuild it secretly.
Just like this village wall, according to his family Rokuro, in the future, it will not only be repaired every year, but also thickened and widened, and at least four watchtowers will be set up on the wall battlements.
Otherwise, how could he say that according to his family Liulang, his family Sanya has built a pancreatic workshop, and all the money he has saved will be spent on it.
Not to mention anything else, just according to the drawings handed over to Zhou Changgen, or the entire general outline that his family Rokuro said first, and now a lot of silver has been sprinkled.
Can!
Do you want to tell the story of the landlord and gentry who were broken down by the hungry people during the disaster year of the previous dynasty with a book, and the door was wiped out?
It's really like Sanya said, you can still earn money if you spend it, but if you die, there is nothing left, even if it is for the sake of your children and grandchildren, you have to smash the silver!
Thinking of this, Gu Erzhu couldn't help but think of the story Zhou Banxia said before coming back.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, King Qi and King Liang competed with each other, and the owner of the Eastern Courtyard predicted that there would be chaos, so he ground beans and corn into flour every day.
Then they made bricks, built them into walls, plastered them with clay, and added beams to the houses.
Then there was a war, and the people ran out of food and firewood.
The owner of the house took out the corn bricks to cook porridge, and removed the beams and logs to make firewood, so as to avoid starvation and freezing to death.
Corn bricks.
This has to wait, just like the granary in the dark, and wait for the village wall to be built, and then act cautiously and pull it back from other places to mix in the bricks and tiles is not eye-catching.
But a granary in the open?
After reading the waist-high village wall at this time, Gu Erzhu took advantage of the fact that he had added a lot of servants to the workshop, and the granary with Zhou Changgen was also the top priority.
Zhou Changgen knew the location behind the woods, as well as the requirements for the thickness of the courtyard wall, and it was definitely not what Gu Erzhu said before.
The place is just too big.
Besides, it's not that the house in the village where there are many sons can't live.
There are two sons, and the two daughters-in-law are filial, and they don't have a family for ten years.
However, there are rules to do it, just listen to what the Lord does.
What's more, this large piece of territory is still a niece's dowry, so there is no need to say it.
In terms of friendship, he learned the craft and apprenticed to Sishunzi back then, and he was short of money for several years, and it was Sishunzi who borrowed his silver to turnover.
Sanya came back, and she was the same as her Lao Tzu, because he borrowed money from her Lao Tzu to find her two sisters, and he didn't forget his cousin if it was any good.
Being reasonable, not to mention secrecy, Zhou Changgen nodded and promised that it would be built the same as the granary in the previous workshop, and he would take his apprentice to do it himself.
As soon as the two of them didn't say a few words, Zhou Changgen heard his apprentice call him, and he didn't care about continuing to talk to Gu Erzhu about where he could save money.
Busy.
"Okay, let's talk later."
