Chapter 86 Start of Construction
There were nearly one or two hundred people gathered here early in the morning, including men, women, young and old. Most of them were villagers not far away. That day, they promised Liu Tiezhu to give the villagers a job, and Chen Yi fulfilled his promise.
The more people, the better. Anyway, Chen Yi will refuse everyone. After all, the more people he has, the faster his yard will be built.
The wages are calculated by the head, children under the age of 12 cost ten cents a day, children under the age of 12 cost twenty cents a day, adults over the age of 16 cost fifty cents a day, and adults over the age of 16 cost fifty cents a day, and then the wages with craftsmanship are calculated separately, such as masons, carpenters, stonemasons, etc., ranging from 100 to 300 coins.
In addition, Chen Yi also provides three meals a day, which is full of food. He specially brought several chefs to cook from Deyue Tower, which was opened by the Iron Sword Gate.
When he conveyed this news, the villagers in Liujia Village were moved and almost all of them came. They had to get their wages and could have enough food. The villagers were almost grateful to him and were all ready to use their last bit of strength for Chen Yi.
In this case, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Chen Yi, the custody will be beaten to death by the villagers...
In three days, under Wang Jiang's busyness, various stones, wood, bricks and other materials have been shipped one after another, and they have accumulated like mountains around the hill bag.
As the sun rose, two hundred men and women gathered around the hills, but it was silent and no one spoke.
The groundbreaking ceremony is being held here now...
Although Chen Yijian's project in the courtyard is very small, there is still a sense of ritual. In fact, Chen Yi himself doesn't care, but he can't resist the persuasion of the elderly in the village, saying that it would be unlucky if the construction starts without worship. Then Chen Yi simply made up this way.
Having said that, from ancient times to the present, whether it is to build a toilet or build a real estate, the construction ceremony seems to be essential. The more important thing depends on the day, and even ask people to bury evil things (foundation stones) underground. This is a tradition engraved in the bones.
A incense table was placed under the hill bun. There were three animals and six animals on the incense table. The village chief of Liujia Village volunteered to act as the "emergency" and lit three incense sticks and said something. He didn't know what he said, and finally put in incense and shouted at work.
Then, a villager dug a hoe on the mountain bag with a hoe, and there were suona, gongs and drums accompaniment beside him. The blowing and playing was not lively. After a moment, the construction ceremony was completed, which means that you can do whatever you want...
Chen Yi, who was watching from the side, also had a smile on his face. He hadn't experienced such a rural atmosphere for a long time.
The two men who were playing the suona accompanied by Chen Yi looked at them a few times. They played really well. Although Chen Yi didn't understand what they were playing, the unique bright and desolate tone of the suona made him feel a little goosebumps.
"If you have time, you can learn to play suona. That thing sounds so touching. If you want to fight with someone in the future, you will have one song first and then carry it away directly..."
He murmured in his heart that after the construction ceremony, Chen Yi asked Wang Jiang to take out the red envelopes prepared in advance and sent one to the village chief and those who accompanied him. They secretly stumbled on the weight, then left with a smile, and then sprinkled some copper coins into the crowd for fun.
Then he distributed the three useless animals and meats that were used on the incense table to several poor villagers, and then Chen Yi recruited Liu Tiezhu.
This guy became a little foreman. Chen Yi asked him to help manage the villagers. It was not technical work, but just to convey Chen Yi's meaning. He was fully competent.
"What are the instructions for Mr. Chen?" Liu Tiezhu, who was slightly excited, came over and asked.
He has never been as glorious as he is today. The surrounding villagers are waiting for him to give orders. The most important thing is that Chen Yi gives him five hundred documents every day and does not have to do too heavy work. He has become respectful to Chen Yi's title, so he will not change it.
After inspecting the surroundings, Chen Yi said to him: "Next, you can arrange it and let the children pick up stones for me, all kinds of round small stones, pick them up and put them together, and I will be useful behind me."
"Okay, do you have any instructions?" Liu Tiezhu nodded and said that he remembered and asked.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi said again: "Then let some villagers go to the mountain to cover the flat ground, level the ground, and give others instructions. Finally, let the rest of the people clean up the surroundings of the mountain to me. Remember to keep the big trees over ten meters for me. First, after doing these, someone will naturally arrange them later."
"Okay, I'll go now." Liu Tiezhu nodded and left. With his shouts, more than one hundred villagers suddenly became busy, and the construction site was full of enthusiasm.
These are just simple tasks, without any technical content, and even individuals can dare to do so, and the important ones are behind.
After arranging Liu Tiezhu, Chen Yi found a garden ‘designer’ specially invited from Hangzhou City, a middle-aged man in his forties. This guy is very arrogant and heard that he had participated in the garden design of countless wealthy families. Chen Yi asked Wang Jiang to come to the door to invite him. When he heard that it was just a small courtyard, he didn't need to pay attention to it. As a result, Chen Yi showed him the pictures he had searched online, and then he said he didn't have money to help Chen Yi build this small courtyard for free.
There is no way. He has been doing garden design for half his life and has never seen the things on Chen Yizi, such as enlarging the proportions, looking down on the sections, etc. For him, it is no different from those who practice martial arts to obtain peerless martial arts.
"Mr. Zhao, do you have any questions?" Chen Yi came to Zhao's "Designer" who was staring at the picture in a daze.
The other party raised his head and said with a slight look: "I almost understood everything. Mr. Chen, where did you get the drawings? As long as you come from, you can make exquisite buildings based on the above, which will make many people who eat garden designs unemployed."
"Not as powerful as you said? The drawings are dead. A truly beautiful building still needs to be checked on site. Since you have no doubts, then the next craftsmen will be handed over to you? I will only look at the final result," Chen Yi smiled.
"No problem, don't worry, but Mr. Chen, you have to build a pond on the mountain bag. This is a bit difficult to deal with. The terrain is high and the water source is not easy to attract. You can't let someone carry water in the future, right?" The other party nodded and frowned.
After a smile, Chen Yi said, "I have already thought about this. The water source is only more than 1,000 meters from the mountains. The terrain is high and there is no problem. I have asked the pottery to speed up the sintered pipes for me, and I can just bury it directly when the time comes."
"Then I have no problem," the other party expressed admiration. Chen Yi spent enough money to build a good manor just to build a small yard. The world of rich people is really puzzling...
In this way, Chen Yi has made a thorough arrangement and just waited for the final acceptance. With the foundation of the ten thousand taels of gold, although it can be said that it is like spending money here every day, it is just a drizzle.
Chen Yi was not only happy but also happy to spend other people's money and do good deeds.
After he made arrangements, Wang Jiang hurriedly found him.
"Brother Chen, there are people coming from Deyuelou. There are many people who say they are looking for you!"
