Liang Kai and others originally wanted to take a look and leave.
Little did we know that everyone could no longer walk.
"Why don't you stay and take a look? I want to see if Du He's claim of building five houses in one day is true!" someone suggested.
"That's fine!"
This proposal was approved by everyone.
Everyone stayed on the other side of the river, staring at the other side without blinking.
…
On open space.
Everyone took a break to burn incense.
Some people are full of energy, while others sit on the ground but cannot get up.
Changsun Hong felt that his arms were numb, as if they were not his own and he had no feeling.
Hou Yi felt that his legs were so heavy that it was difficult to lift them up.
The worst thing was that Dai Jinyun fainted an hour ago, but he was still hanging on the willow tree and was whipped twice from time to time.
This guy is an eye-catching wake-up call, always warning those who want to be lazy.
Snap.
Du He stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Get up and work!"
Swish swish swish.
Everyone stood up one after another and moved very quickly.
Du He said: "Now, it is less than two hours until dark. If the house is not built before dark, then you can sleep on the bank of the river tonight!"
Someone questioned: "County Lord, it will be dark in less than two hours. Even if we have all the heads and six arms, we still can't build this house."
"Yeah, it's too difficult!"
"This is simply impossible!"
Seeing everyone's anxious looks, Du He was calm and said with a smile: "If I say yes, then it's okay. If not, it's okay!"
Then he turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Bring our materials here."
"yes!"
Lu Yuan turned around and left. After a while, he turned back and saw a long motorcade behind him. There were more than thirty carriages, and each carriage was fully loaded.
Du He shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and unload the goods!"
Under the command of Lu Yuan, everyone stepped forward to unload the goods.
Only then did everyone realize that the carriage was covered with huge wooden boards. The largest wooden board was as big as a wall. It seemed to be made of small wooden boards spliced together, but there was no gap in the middle.
Just like naturally occurring ones.
Seven or eight craftsmen were seen hurriedly carrying the largest wooden board forward, placing it behind one of the houses, and standing there, sealing one wall of three rooms.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
The craftsmen took iron nails and nailed the wooden boards on three times, five times and two times. One of the walls of the three rooms was solved and it was very stable.
The craftsmen followed the same method, putting up wooden boards piece by piece, nailing them with iron nails, and the walls were ready.
In the blink of an eye, all the walls of one of the dormitories were removed.
The whole process took half an hour.
Only then did everyone realize that Du He had even prepared the doors and windows, he just had to carry them over and nail them in place.
The walls are installed, and so are the doors and windows.
All that's left is the top.
Someone whispered, you can't even nail the top with wooden boards, it's not breathable.
Du He curled his lips and said: "As smart as you are, I will show you what super invincible tile is."
I saw him wave his hand.
Several carriages came forward, and the carriages were covered with thatch. When they uncovered the thatch, they turned out to be huge tiles.
A piece of tile is the size of two windows, with a groove in the middle, just like hundreds of small tiles put together.
The tiles of this era are only about the size of a palm. This is not because people don’t want to make it bigger, but because the technology is limited. Unlike later generations where refractory materials such as asbestos were placed inside, the tiles are very fragile. After they are slightly larger,
It breaks easily.
This was a material problem, and Du He obviously couldn't solve it, but he took a different approach and used wooden strips to make a bottom frame under each tile to surround all the tiles. As long as they are not subject to strong impact, the tiles will not
Will break.
These tiles are all produced by the brick factory of Dream Group. Before being transported to Hu County, they have been tried for a long time and proven to be reliable.
Lu Yuan and several craftsmen carefully unloaded the large tiles from the carriage, then hoisted them to the roof with ropes and began to install them.
The roof of a house was completed with only five tiles.
A dormitory with eight rooms only used forty huge tiles and took almost half an hour.
A dormitory is complete.
Although it looks crude, it is definitely habitable.
There were four dormitories left. After seeing the successful example of the first dormitory, everyone no longer had any doubts and started to work.
dusk.
The golden sunset slowly sets towards the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the earth with a layer of golden color.
"It's done!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
Five dormitories were built.
Under the setting sun, five brand-new houses stand in an open space and look very sacred.
Looking at everything in front of them, more than a hundred people all showed happy smiles.
…
Across the river.
Liang Kai and others were all stunned and speechless for a long time.
"A miracle, a miracle!"
After a while, someone shouted.
"Is Duhe still human? How did he do it?"
"Five houses were actually built in one day!"
"Although there are many others, when did building a house become so easy?"
Although they are separated by the river bank, everyone can see clearly.
Each house has as many pillars as there should be, and there are even more roof beams than ordinary houses. The quality of the wooden boards on the walls is excellent. Doors and windows are all available. Even the floor is paved with wooden boards.
of.
In other words, these houses can be lived in right now.
What is this if not a miracle?
A miracle just happened.
…
The house was built, and although everyone worked hard, it was the first time they had such a sense of accomplishment.
Many people present are scholars. In the past, everyone thought that reading is the only one who is inferior in everything, especially things like building a house. That is done by craftsmen. How can scholars do it? But today, after personally participating,
Seeing five houses emerging from the flat ground, I couldn't hide the pride I felt in my heart.
After the house was built, Du He gave the order and everyone rushed to the backyard of the county government office.
More than a dozen cooks have already prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone, including meat, vegetables, and even wine.
After a busy day, Zhang Sunhong felt that today's meal was particularly delicious.
In the past, he could only eat one bowl of rice, but today he ate five bowls and still felt not full.
After eating, everyone held torches and started moving, taking their belongings with them and moving into the five newly built houses.
All the materials used to build the dormitory were processed in advance and even dried by Dream Group, making it possible for people to move in immediately.
Late at night.
In the first dormitory and the second room, the oil lamp was still on.
Changsun Hongcong lay on the bed and said feebly: "Damn it, Master, I am a member of the Sikong Mansion. I am reduced to building a house. It is a shame and a great humiliation. It is a great shame and humiliation..."
