Han Xiang

Chapter 98 What is Distinction of Rewards and Punishments?

The plot selected by Long Xiang was very square, and he personally participated in the stage of laying out the stakes, planning to build a "model community" as a template.

The planning of the whole community is in an arrayed square layout, with ten households arranged horizontally as a group, which can save the use of bricks for public walls;

Between the groups, there is a two-foot-wide public road, and the outside of the ten groups is surrounded by walls, and the community wells are drilled in the four corners of the walls to form a unified whole.

Long Xiang directly copied the layout of the later generations of the community to the Three Kingdoms era, but in fact, the area occupied by the [-]-household community is not as large as that of Hefei Houfu.

The novel house type and novel layout are like a city within a city as a whole, so during the construction period, there are often people who have nothing to do to see it.

On the day the ground was broken, Long Xiang changed his clothes and went off in person. He not only taught people how to sieve sand and ash, but also demonstrated to the masons how to build the culvert with bricks, as well as the steps of plastering and finishing the culvert.

In the pre-dug shallow pit, Long Xiang used blue bricks to place the concave water channel, and immediately plastered and smoothed the inner wall of the channel after building.

After plastering, after one day of drying, the top of the culvert was sealed with bricks before plastering, and the concealment work was completed by covering with soil on the third day.

At this point, the simple drainage system is completed.

The drainage culvert starts from the vegetable washing pond and laundry pond in the backyard, connects to the hut and pigsty in the middle, and then flows into the sewage pond outside the courtyard through a high slope. The pond is covered with wooden boards to avoid light and odor.

Long Xiang explained to the craftsmen while demonstrating that there is not much technical difficulty, so everyone learned it very quickly, and after a while, they can follow the gourd.

Although there was no construction machinery in this era, the small courtyard on the first floor had a shallow foundation and a relatively simple structure. It only needed to set marking lines and lay bricks upwards.

In the case of a large number of people and sufficient materials, the height of one person can be built in one day, and the main structure can be completed in about three days. After that, the roof is paved with grass, and a house can be built in seven or eight days.

As for the doors and windows, they will be uniformly processed by carpenters according to the holes left, and then installed slowly.

According to the construction plan of the Longxiang platoon, the craftsmen performed their own duties and performed their own tasks, and the overall progress was carried out in units of ten households in a row.

In mid-June, the project entered the final stage.

After installing the last door of the community, Long Xiang took the generals above the head of the Hefei team to the site for an 'acceptance visit'.

Everyone entered from the south gate of the community, and the neatly arranged houses in front, with completely unified construction standards, looked like a standing legion.

The epoch-making planning and design brought visual impact to everyone.

During the visit, there were whispered discussions from time to time, and there were endless praises.

"Brick houses are stronger than clay sculptures, and they will be warm in winter and cool in summer in the future."

"The culvert is also amazing. I just poured a bucket of water into the laundry pool, but it actually flowed into the sewage pool behind the courtyard."

"If I want to be able to live here in the future, I will go back to my hut to relieve myself, and use my own fertilizer to water my vegetables."

"Then you have to be careful. The sewage pools of these houses are outside the backyard, and the vegetable fields are set up in the front yard. Have you picked manure and fertilized the hall?"

"Are you stupid? Can't I grow vegetables in the backyard and raise chickens in the front yard?"

"I think you're stupid. It's fine to keep chickens in the front yard, but you can't keep pigs in the front yard? If you want, I'll make an agreement with the neighbor behind me to use the manure from the other's sewage pool."

"You're the only one who can figure it out? Who do the southernmost and northernmost households ask for a loan?"

"Haha, the southernmost and the northernmost, it's better to live with craftsman brothers. If you don't grow vegetables at home, you don't need fertilizer."

The soldiers were already discussing the issue of moving in, while Lu Su was pressing the gaps between the bricks with his hands.

After Long Xiang saw it, he asked curiously, "What is Zijing thinking?"

"This cement is really a good thing. Not only does it have enough adhesive power, but I think its hardness is also quite good. If the entire wall is painted like the inside of the culvert, and then the surface is painted with paint, who would know that there are blue bricks hidden inside? " Lu Su asked thoughtfully.

Long Xiang was taken aback when he heard that, and said to himself that I just finished building the house, and you actually considered the exterior wall decoration?

"Powdering the entire wall means plastering and smoothing the surface. The paint on the outside is not only not easy to fall off, but also looks more beautiful. However, the cement workshop has just been built, and there are difficulties such as unfamiliar personnel and shortage of raw materials. The daily output is relatively limited, and we will talk about it later when the output increases.”

After hearing this, Feng Zhong quickly echoed: "It's good enough to keep out the wind and rain, there's no need to waste cement on the wall."

"Hey, Lao Feng has been waiting for this day for a long time, and I will remember your door when the time comes, so as not to come to dinner and go to the wrong door." Tang Jue joked with a smile on the side.

Feng Zhong shook his head lightly: "There are only a hundred new houses, and there are thousands of households in Hefei City. It is not certain whether they can be allocated."

"You can't even live in a new house, so who is eligible to live in a new house?"

Tang Xi pursed his lips, thinking that you are too modest.

Feng Zhong was noncommittal, glanced at Long Xiang and said, "Anyway, there are only one hundred sets, and Yun Qi can divide them up any way."

Real estate was also a luxury in ancient times. When it comes to property distribution, there must be conflicts of interest.

Lu Su and Long Xiang live in Jun Sima Mansion, and they have no intention of competing for a new house.

Seeing that Long Xiang hadn't made a statement, Lu Su took the initiative to ask: "Yun Qi, the bricks fired this year have been almost used up, and if you want to continue to build a new house, you have to wait until next year. How do you think about the distribution?"

"Is there anything to consider? First come, first served."

Tang Jue almost blurted it out, but he immediately regretted it, because the brothers from the Xu family came last, but their expressions were very natural.

Long Xiang sized up everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Tang Xi.

"In the past few days, many people have come to ask me, but they didn't give a positive answer at that time. I figured it out on the way here today. The first-come, first-served approach advocated by Uncle Uncle is not advisable."

Tang Xie always remembered Feng Zhong in his heart. He knew that his old friend had been waiting for this new house for a long time. Although he didn't believe that Long Xiang would treat his own people badly, he still asked nervously: "Then how do you divide it? Mr. Feng should have a share, right? "

Long Xiang nodded solemnly: "Needless to say, Uncle Zhong, all of you present have a share. I plan to share a set with each of you according to the level of official position. If you really can't get a share, wait until next year. Your original vacant house will be just right. Give it to those who need it.”

"I have it too? Then I want to be neighbors with Lao Feng."

Tang Xi first looked happy, then frowned and shook his head: "No, no, I'll live with Yun Qi."

Long Xiang smiled slightly: "Uncle Xi is right to think so. You can't afford the old house when you live here. Now this new house can accommodate eight or nine people, and the whole family can accommodate it."

"Hey, what Yun Qi said is right, I'm alone, so I won't join in the fun." Tang Yu scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Lu Su frowned and reminded: "Assignment according to the position level, it is easy to involve the same problem as General Tang. If the family occupies less of the big house, will it be a waste? How about assigning it to those who need him more?"

After hearing this, Long Xiang shook his head, and then said solemnly: "Uncle Xi lives in Jun Sima's Mansion, and he doesn't have his own house, but the rest of the generals, Zuo Ke, have homes, so it's impossible to ask them to give up their new house, and besides, they followed me through life and death. , if there is a good thing, naturally we should give priority to our own people, otherwise, who will be willing to help me in the future?"

"What do you mean by distinguishing between rewards and punishments? Yun Qi is doing the right thing, no wonder the brothers are so convinced by you."

Xu Ding, who had been silent all this time, also stood up to support Long Xiang.
