He hurriedly helped Zhao Kang up: "Uncle, in the future, you and Houlong Village will be a family." With my science in mind, I will no longer allow others to bully you at will. ”

Zhao Kang wiped his tears, determined to make the new house under Guo Dalu's confession beautiful, he pondered for a while, and said: "This new house is good, but will it be too extravagant to use steel bars to make beams and pillars?"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "My house has to be built to four or five stories high, because Houlong Village is located in a mountainous area, there is no large flat land, and all the good land is used to grow kudzu grass and grain, so we can't compete with grain for land." Therefore, if you want to live comfortably and spaciously, you can only make the best use of space and convert the house from the original bungalow into a building. At this time, it is not possible to use wood to make beams and columns, and no matter how good the wood is, it cannot withstand the weight of a four- or five-story building, so it is necessary to use good steel bars as bones and cement as beams. Uncle Li's blast furnace produced enough steel bars for us to build a house, and I thought that in addition to the beams and columns, other places such as floors and stairs can be replaced with bamboo bars. ”

When everyone heard that the house was going to be four or five stories high, they all shook their heads, and Carpenter Zhou exclaimed: "Grandpa Tian, the three-story building in Yinxian County is already considered high, and we actually want to build a four- or five-story high-rise building?

Guo Daluxin said, what is a four- or five-story building? If the foundation is laid, the entire seven- or eight-story building will be fine, but what I have built is a reinforced concrete frame building, which is of better quality than the brick and concrete buildings in the early days of reform and opening up, and we do not use sea sand with a clear conscience, it is all fine stream sand, and the steel bars are not strip steel, and the good steel of the first grade on the water, if this building cannot be built, then we will cross in vain.

Among them, the use of bamboo instead of steel bars is not what Guo Dalu wants to engage in any tofu slag project, in fact, if it is handled well, this bamboo is not much worse than steel bars.

In Yongcheng, where Guo Dalu was originally located, there is a bridge built at the beginning of liberation, known as Laojiang Bridge, which is made of bamboo instead of steel bars, and it is still strong after decades of use. Later, because of the lack of traffic capacity, it was demolished and rebuilt, and after the cement layer was smashed, the bamboo tendons inside were still good!

Guo Dalu thought about the floors and stairs, which are not important, and replaced the steel bars with bamboo bars, which can reduce both weight and materials.

Guo Dalu dragged a stack of papers: "Come on, come on, let's take a look at the structure of the new house." I have been thinking about it for a long time, in addition to using light new building materials such as red bricks, cement and steel bars, I also want to use water and sewage pipes, toilets, and bathrooms. The outside of each building is connected by a gutter, and a large excrement pool is dug next to it to deal with the dirt in a unified manner, and it can no longer be directly poured into the ditch. I've seen enough of the village sisters-in-law cleaning the toilet by the stream early in the morning - that's our drinking water!"

Li Dayan, Carpenter Zhou, Zhao Kang and others were stunned as they looked at the drawings of furniture they had never seen before, they never thought that a family could be so magnificent, even if it was an old official of the emperor, they couldn't enjoy these objects!

In fact, Guo Dalu took out, is not a very high-tech thing, the sewer pipe is made of clay pipe, this thing in the early days of reform and opening up, is still in large-scale use, tile basin toilet is not complicated, with coal as fuel of the high-temperature kiln, Zhao Kang can make these things, but the toilet has been changed to a squatting pit, not a seated toilet, and the bathtub is made of cement frame, and then pasted with mosaic inside and outside - in the 80s of the 20th century, many residents made such a bathtub at home, the only defect is that the bare butt is not as smooth as the overall bathtub sitting on the mosaic。

Li Dayan and Carpenter Zhou had helped him renovate the toilet of the Guo family under the guidance of Guo Dalu before, so they were not as surprised as Zhao Kang, and several people got together to mutter, discussing some specific project details.

In the end, everyone found that it took not much more time to build this new building than to build an old house, because the beams and columns used in the old house needed to be cut from the deep mountains, and it took a long time to dry in the shade, which was very time-consuming.

Li Dayan said: "Seeing that winter is coming soon, the farmers are also idle, and there are some clumsy jobs, such as leveling the foundation, digging sewers, digging septic tanks, etc., we can hand them over to the surrounding villagers to do, which not only greatly speeds up the construction period, but also allows them to earn a little money." It's just that in this way, Guo Ge'er has to spend more money again. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What are you afraid of spending some silver? Have you all forgotten that we don't have Yu Dazhong, a boy who scatters money?"

Everyone laughed even more when they remembered that Xiong Chumei was leading the villagers to dig up Yu Dazhong's floating wealth in Fengshen City, which he didn't know how many years he had accumulated.

At noon, there was good news, Chen Qingdai returned to the village with a cart of gold, silver and silk, and she told everyone that this was only the first car, and more floating wealth was being excavated.

It turned out that Yu Dazhong was extremely greedy and selfish, but he didn't trust his subordinates, thinking that other people were like him, all of them just wanted to get benefits for themselves, only Xiong Chumei, the black bear spirit, because the natal Yuan Dan was held in his hands, he didn't dare to do any tricks, so he handed over the money and wealth that he had scavenged with various dirty means over the years to Xiong Chumei and collected it, but he didn't want to end up cheapening Guo Dalu.

Among these treasures, in addition to gold, silver and copper coins, there are also a lot of silk and satin, medicinal materials, rice grains and other miscellaneous goods, but the merchants who passed through the area of Fengshen Mountain were intimidated by Xiong Chumei with the little demons, and they fled after throwing down the goods.

All of these things can be sold slowly through the snow sugar shops set up in various places in Houlong Village - now this snow sugar shop is becoming more and more rudimentary as a supply and marketing cooperative, and even has the function of issuing RMB loans.

Guo Dalu is actually reluctant to let the children work, although the children's parents are very happy, because Guo Dalu pays the children wages, which shows that his children have learned and can take charge of themselves. He can only use rotation to let the older children stationed in other places return to Houlong Village regularly, and he will personally open small stoves for them to make up for them.

With this batch of silver, Guo Dalu has more confidence to build a model community, and immediately sent people to the surrounding areas of Yin County to hire farmers, especially those who have lost their land, and can be regarded as another form of cash-for-work.

The peasants are accustomed to hard work and heavy work, in the past, they had to work for the government every year, build city walls, dredge ditches, and build river embankments, but in Houlong Village, they just did some excavation of foundations, leveling the land, digging clay, panning sand in the stream, etc., and they could get started quickly, and most importantly, Mr. Houlong, the head of the Science Gate of Houlong Village, was extremely kind, not only giving real wages, but also taking care of food every day. That rice is really dry rice, and each person can get a piece of greasy fat every other day!

The surrounding villagers rushed over when they heard the wind, and many of them had stolen the beans in Houlong Village before, and they felt guilty, so they worked very hard, they thought that with this salary, coupled with the 10,000 catties of beans per mu, not only could they live a winter when they were no longer hungry, but even next year, the whole family could count on a good life.

Guo Dalu's guidance is indispensable at various construction sites, because once some foundation works are broken, it will affect a series of subsequent projects, and it is extremely difficult to change.

Guo Dalu ran around, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva, but now that his father has "regained his sight", he doesn't need to worry about his family anymore, and the big girl also returned to his side, holding a stack of paper and carefully recording his every word. Sometimes the two of them look at each other, Guo Dalu will laugh stupidly, and the girl is also flushed after giving him a white eye, although the two of them have no words, but at this time silent is better than sound, they both think this is very good.

On this day, Guo Dalu and Zhao Kang were inspecting a batch of newly made ceramic tile sanitary ware. Zhao Kang tapped the tile with his finger, the tile made a sound of gold and iron, he said: "This tile is really good, I used to work in a rich family, and I have seen marble made of bricks, but I went up the mountain to quarry and transport stones, and it took a lot of effort, and the money was thrown here." But we make tiles, and make bricks are actually not much different, but digging clay, and clay, dry it takes some time, as soon as the kiln opens, batches of tiles will come out, and the size is arbitrary, it is really convenient and labor-saving. It's just that this tile is really brittle, and if you hit it hard, it will smash cracks. If a tile is broken, the entire wall and the entire floor will be destroyed. ”

The tile making method taught to Zhao Kang by Guo Dalu is, after all, a half-hanger, so the tiles produced are relatively brittle.

Guo Dalu thought for a while and said: "This tile is used to pave the wall, it is not possible to make floor tiles, I think it is better to lay wooden planks on the ground in the future, and the ground in the bathroom is terrazzo." Uncle Zhao, after this period of trial production, you have mastered all the process links, and then we will mass produce it!"

Zhao Kang nodded: "In China, I have built several new kilns, and red bricks, tiles, and cement are fired at the same time to ensure that the whole village will not be delayed to build new houses." ”

At this time, Wang Deen hurriedly ran over: "Brother Guo, Yu Dazhong is on a hunger strike!"

Guo Dalu was stunned and went on a hunger strike? What is Yu Dazhong making a name for?

Guo Dalu came to the firewood room where Yu Dazhong was being held, and Yu Dazhong was really there and smashed the bowl and shouted: "Don't eat! Lao Tzu won't eat! If there is a seed, he will starve to death!"

When he saw Guo Dalu coming, he immediately jumped up, glared at him and scolded: "The boy surnamed Guo, you kill your grandfather quickly, otherwise, as long as your grandfather leaves here alive, sooner or later I will wash Houlong Village in blood, even if Lou Cen Zhi comes forward, he won't be able to save you!" )
