The gradual construction of the city began.

First of all, Zhuang Yu asked the people of Jiaokang to go to the market to announce the purchase of timber.

This acquisition is completely different from the last acquisition of wood used to make water tankers, because this time the quantity is large enough.

Such a thing as wood is worthless outside, but because of the long and hard journey, you have to pay for it.

Foreign businessmen are confused, but also buy so much wood?

Especially the people of the small tribes, their eyes are bright, their tribes are small, and they do not have much supplies, but they are dwarfed by the fact that they are used in exchange for salt.

After asking about the good news, didn't expect that would be able to get so many good things in exchange for just a trip.

Not only the small tribes, but also the caravans of the big tribes are a little moved. After all, it is only such a trip, and they are idle as well.

So in the eyes of foreign businessmen, a very strange large-scale timber acquisition began.

In the past, a caravan would only go out once, but now it seems to have broken the rules of the past.

Of course, the acquisition of wood is also required, to be strong and large.

Because the acquisition of wood is really too much, do not look at it is not particularly valuable, but the quantity is more, it is also a large sum of money.

Zhuang Yu probably calculated that the timber needed to build this area at the beginning was impressive, not to mention the construction of the whole Chidi city.

It seems that we have to find a way to earn more supplies.

Before that, however, Zhuang Yu went to ask his people to build more kilns and began to burn a large number of red bricks, porcelain floors and ceramic pipes.

Zhuang Yu originally planned to use glass pipes to make water pipes, but in the end, he decided to use pottery pipes.

Because the glass tube is easily broken, if the glass slag enters the water, it is easy to hurt people, and the second is that the glass tube is transparent. For a period of time, once there is dirt, it is easy to be adsorbed on the pipe wall. From the outside, it is particularly dirty, which is not a long-term solution.

The whole Chicheng is busy again.

Zhuang Yu asked the people in the area he planned to live in other people's houses first.

A group of people were overjoyed because Shaojun said he was building a better house for them, and after a period of time, when the house was repaired, they could live back.

The people's trust in Zhuang Yu has reached the level of madness, and they do not look at the extent to which they are now beautiful outside Chidi City. It is not because they boast that other forces are absolutely unable to compare with their environment outside Chidi City.

They are now able to walk around outside with their heads held high every day, and sometimes they are very proud to say a few words to those foreign businessmen.

Look up the day, that is life, ah, like in the past, always said by foreigners, poor.

A group of people, packed up their things and left, of course, did not go far, just gathered around to see how Zhuang Yu built the house.

And more and more people come to watch the hustle and bustle.

It takes a lot of manpower to build the house, and thanks to Zhuang Yu's right to use all the people in Chidi City to help, otherwise don't know how long it will have to be repaired.

With a big wave of his hand, Zhuang Yu pushed all the old houses. "

Those who heard the words could not help trembling for a moment, and if others said so, they would not be hanged up and beaten.

This is their home in Chidi City. Although it is dilapidated and dilapidated, it is also a place where they do not know how many generations of people live.

In fact, Zhuang Yu also has special feelings for these earthy houses, but they are so dilapidated that people who don't know think that when they go to some place with broken eaves and broken walls, the wind can blow hard into them at night, which is why it is so cold.

The old ones don't go and the new ones don't come.

So as soon as a group of people gritted their teeth, Shaojun asked them to push and they pushed. Anyway, Shaojun said that they would have a better house to live in.

Then Zhuang Yu arranged to level the ground and lay the foundation for the house.

During this period of time, he was just waiting for his red brick to burn out.

The ground began to be dug flat and the foundation dug up.

Of course, the house is not repaired one by one, but a row at the same time, because there are so many of them.

A few days later, when the first batch of red bricks were fired, the ground was almost flat and the foundation was almost dug.

Zhuang Yu had the bricks transported and began to teach everyone how to build walls with cement.

This wall building is a technical job, but it can not be built askew, nor can it be built sturdily.

Zhuang Yu also specially made an ancient ink bucket, which was replaced by carbon ash at the bottom of the pot to teach everyone how to use it.

It was taught very carefully at the beginning, and it took a few days to formally build the wall.

Zhuang Yu became busy, and he had to run back and forth on the construction site, pointing out deficiencies or mistakes.

Although it is said that it is only a two-story building, it is not easy to collapse, but this is a house where people live and should not be careless.

Basically, a little bit of Zhuangyu should be seen once, and if it does not meet the requirements, even if it is pushed and rebuilt, we cannot make do with it.

Moreover, Zhuang Yu's house designs the difference between the living room and the bedroom, which is not so simple.

So, at the beginning, it was as fast as a snail, and it often made mistakes, and it had to be pushed over and over again.

There is no way, the people of the tribe are for the first time and have no experience.

It was not until the merchants of other nationalities brought in the first batch of timber that their house began.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, but fortunately, people gradually understood what Zhuang Yu meant, and the walls built with red bricks began to meet the requirements.

In order to live in the new house, people in Chidi City are working day and night.

A group of little turnips also came to see something strange when they were free. The children of the Golden centipede are more experienced in living in houses, because they have not only lived in such earthy houses, but also lived in caves.

But looking at the new house under construction, the second monk is confused.

"Brother Yu, will the new house have our original cave and earthen house?" He asked with an expectant look in his eyes.

Zhuang Yu replied, "of course, I also designed a Kang in the house."

Kang!

A group of little turnips were glowing in their eyes, and then they cried out.

Did they sleep on the Kang again?

Chidi City people are really good, but the house is uneven, there is no Kang, they used to live in the house is covered with wooden floors, there is a warm Kang to sleep.

How do they brag with the children of Chidi City? the other side is ignorant and doesn't quite understand, but they are worried to death.

It's all right now. They're going to have a Kang to sleep again soon.

A group of little turnips were so excited that they asked loudly, "Brother Yu, do you have a wooden floor?"

Looking at the red little faces one by one, Zhuang Yu said to himself, this group of children are nostalgic for their former nest.

To tell you the truth, Zhuang Yu is also nostalgic. They used to live a hard life, but their nest was not wronged at all, and they were all very comfortable.

Zhuang Yu replied, "Yes, the second floor is a wooden floor, a pure wooden floor."

Because he plans to stick floor tiles on the first floor.

One house, two kinds of floor experience, is also very good.

A group of little turnips screamed and jumped like crazy, and the mushrooms were lifted into the air and ran around.

Small mushroom calf straight kick, turned upside down, do you know who is the boss?

But can live in the comfortable and warm house used to live in? It's so cold every night now that it's huddled up.

I can't help thinking of the empty wooden house that the big bear made for him that day. Hum, the mushroom boy is so fastidious that he doesn't live in such a dilapidated house. He is very proud.

Shao Hao has turned the wooden house over and over again recently. Originally, the little mushroom had a little interest, but as a result. Zhuang Yu began to build a new house, and it is estimated that the little mushroom should not be abandoned.

The walls of the house were built bit by bit, and Zhuang Yu directly asked people to use the sun-dried tree trunks as reinforced concrete slabs, which were set up on the floor of the second floor.

A tree trunk is next to each other to form a floor, which, of course, has to be covered with a flattened wooden floor.

And it is also the kind of double-sided laying, that is, floors are laid above and below the tree trunk, so that whether you look upstairs or downstairs, you will only see flat planks, not uneven tree trunks.

To minimize noise, the open space between the tree trunks has to be filled with cement, and then the wood floor is laid on the cement.

The function of the big tree trunk is actually the function of the reinforced concrete slab.

Of course, the lower layer does not need to use cement, otherwise the cement will keep falling from the top of the head, there is a gap, there is a gap, anyway, this side is impossible to step on.

Zhuang Yu assigned some people to specialize in chopping wooden planks. The iron wares that Zhuang Yu melted to make hoes were damaged and unwanted. They still had some intact iron wares in Chidi City, which were trophies from fighting with the people of Ruidi City.

It can be used to split the plank.

With their strength, the sharpness of the iron and the skill they have exercised all the year round, it is no problem to split a board of the same size and smooth section.

These boards, as long as they are chopped fast enough, can become very smooth, and then treated with gum, it is like waxing.

The unique color of the gum, coupled with the original pattern of the board, is also very beautiful.

In addition to the wooden floor, after the house is built on the wall, the porcelain floor on the first floor must also be pasted, and the specially reserved windows must also be installed with glass.

What let Zhuang Yu show off more is that his second floor also designed a floor-to-ceiling window, that is to say, almost a wall can be installed with glass, sitting next to a large floor-to-ceiling window, watching the scenery outside, that is comfortable.

Then came the construction of Kangs and chimneys.

While building the house, Zhuang Yu began to build the road again.

On a flat road, the lower layer is cement, with bricks or tiles on top of it.

Ceramic tiles must be somewhat different from those affixed to the house, slightly smaller, like the tiles of the pedestrian street, dirty, durable, wear-resistant, but beautiful.

The house and the road are basically carried out at the same time, but the speed of road construction is a little faster, after all, good homework, and less technical content.

A few days later, when people in Chidi City get up as usual and get ready to go out.

As they passed through the city gate, by the dim light, they found that something different had happened to the strange house they had built.

I couldn't help leaning over. Two days ago, Shaojun told them not to come near, saying that the road was not yet good, for fear that they would trample on it, so they had not looked at it carefully.

Now that there is no stake there, it should be possible to pass.

The light is still too dark to see very clearly.

But as he approached, it became clearer and clearer, and then, like a tree stump, he stood there motionless, his mouth so open that he could put duck eggs.

Suddenly, earth-shaking, incredible howling spread throughout the city of Chidi, even the merchants of the market outside the city were awakened.

What did they see?!

Rows of small red brick buildings are too beautiful to take their eyes off.

The red bricks form small unventilated grids, how beautiful they look.

On the second floor, there is a small balcony, which is extremely chic.

And the exaggerated floor-to-ceiling windowpanes raise the style of the whole building to more than one level.

In fact, this is only the most common design of a townhouse, but for tribes who have never seen a house of this style, the surprise is as shocking as that of people who have never watched TV for the first time.

In particular, compared with the small, leaky earthen houses that have not yet been pushed on the side, it is almost in the sky and on the ground.
