Zheng Peng opened it and quickly understood what was going on.

It is said that it is a design, in fact, it is a sketch drawing, simply drawing an outline, such as where is the inner house, where is the outer hall, where is the pavilion, where is the rockery, where is the lake, and where is the lake, which style can be faintly seen, and the careful design has not yet come out.

Although it seems a little simple, it can be seen that the three designs have obviously different styles, one is the Jiangnan garden-style style, the other is the Hui style architecture, and the last one is the Jin-style architecture.

The design was drawn in three different styles overnight, still hand-drawn, but the corridors, pavilions, and rockery ponds are clearly represented on paper, which is already remarkable.

Cheng Jinlun's personality should be to let the guests make requests, and then choose the general style he likes, and the rest is for him to create freely.

"This is good" Zheng Peng hesitated for a moment, and quickly chose the picture scroll of Jiangnan garden style.

The Hui school architecture is imposing, the Jin school architecture is heavy, the Jiangnan garden style is warm and natural, Zheng Peng pays attention to comfort, and the first choice is the garden style.

Listening to Zheng Yongyang, the best thing about Zheng Jinlun in front of him is the garden-style style.

"Okay, that's it." Zheng Jinlun was also simply, he agreed without even asking why, and started to collect the scroll while agreeing.

In his heart, this project has interaction with Zheng Peng so far, and Zheng Peng only needs to provide the cost in time.

Zheng Peng suddenly spoke: "Uncle Zheng, your design is good, but I want to make a few small requests." ”

"Oh, what do you want?" Zheng Jinlun asked.

As an employer, Zheng Peng naturally has the right to make demands.

Zheng Peng took the scroll, pointed to the place in the center and said, "Uncle Zheng, I hope to build the pavilion by the lake in the middle of the lake." ”

"Yes"

Now everything has not started construction, Zheng Peng is an employer, and it is normal to have requirements.

"The garden wanted to have the theme of the four seasons, so that you can see flowers in full bloom in all seasons."

"It's easy."

"I want to build an Invitation Moon Tower in the northwest corner, that is, the location of the street near the lake, and stand on the top of the building to see the entire Yuan City."

Climb high and look far, everyone likes it, and there is an attic at home that can overlook the county, which is a very face-saving thing.

Zheng Jinlun's eyes were happy, for him, the more Zheng Peng asked, the more he had the opportunity to make satisfactory works.

"No problem, but it's not cheap to build a three- to five-storey, eight-zhang pavilion." Zheng Jinlun reminded.

Before drawing, Zheng Jinlun carefully looked at the layout and environment, Yuancheng is just a small city, most of the houses are two stories high, but many homes are planted with trees, if you want to look at the entire county, the height of this Yueyue Tower is not low.

In ancient times, there was no reinforced concrete, like the construction of multi-storey high-rise buildings, most of them chose wood structure, because the adhesion of masonry is not suitable for high-rise buildings, and the mortise and tenon structure of wood can withstand enough pressure, but these jobs require highly skilled craftsmen to be competent, in addition to requiring a large number of high-quality wood, the cost and difficulty are also very high.

For the industrious and intelligent Chinese people, there is no reinforced concrete, it is not difficult to build high-rise buildings, far away in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the first year of Emperor Xiping of Xiaoming, that is, in 516 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty began to build a large-scale and the crown of the thousand temples in Luoyang City, the tower is nine floors high, there are as many as forty-nine zhang, The body of the tower is about 136.71 meters high, if you add the tower stop, it is 147 meters high, but unfortunately it fell down due to lightning fire in 16 years; during the reign of Wu Zetian, build the Ming Hall as high as 294 feet, about 88 meters high.

Now it's just a matter of building an eight-zhang pavilion, and as long as the money is in place, technology is not a problem.

Zheng Peng nodded: "Money is not a problem, by the way, in order to keep the water clear, I want to use live water for the pond." ”

"It's close to the river, and you can build a culvert to bring in the river, which is not difficult to solve."

The more conditions Zheng Peng mentioned, the softer Zheng Jinlun's attitude became, which was in stark contrast to the tough attitude at the beginning.

As Zheng Jinlun, who likes to repair houses, he doesn't listen to opinions, but he doesn't like those who don't know how to pretend to understand to point fingers in the back, or brutally break the complete harmony of the design, and when he heard that Zheng Peng's conditions were very professional, his attitude began to become serious.

"I want the construction period to be as short as possible, preferably within a year, no problem, right?" Zheng Peng looked at Zheng Jinlun expectantly.

"How is it possible" Zheng Jinlun said in surprise: "Ordinary house also has a year and a half, soaring, although your house is only three in and three out, but the requirements are not small, the house to rise, the canal to be repaired, the attic to build, these not only cost a lot, but also very time-consuming, take the attic as an example, even if you have a way, in time to buy a large number of suitable wood, but the high-rise building also needs to be leveled, those mortise and tenon structures, can not be the slightest difference, from building to proofreading, it takes a lot of time, like some stone carvings, stone slabs and the like, It takes a lot of time to build it on site according to local conditions, and in my estimation, it is not easy to build it in three years. ”

A good house, not only to be serious, but also to work hard, not to have money can be fast, Zheng Peng said that it is a problem to complete it in a year.

"Can't you speed up a little" Zheng Peng frowned and said: "Don't worry about money, in terms of materials, Guixiang Guo and Brother Xusheng said that they will do their best to help, it shouldn't be a problem, there are more than three hundred craftsmen of all kinds, how many helpers are needed, will it be faster?" ”

Ancient women, at the age of twelve, may get married, and in three years, Lu Shu will become an "old girl", I am afraid that Lu Shu can wait, Cui Yuan's old boy regretted it halfway.

"Feiteng, slow work and meticulous work, difficult" Zheng Jinlun said with an embarrassed face: "I am not satisfied with you, it is not difficult to build, but it is not easy to build, especially such a high attic, the quality must be repaired, if you are not careful, there will be an accident, a certain reputation can be put aside, if something happens, then regret it." ”

Zheng Peng thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Zheng, you mean, due to the problem of manpower and materials, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"I think these problems can actually be solved." Zheng Peng suddenly said in a shocking voice.

"Talk about it"

Zheng Peng said: "Simple, assuming that this house is a project, we can divide this project into multiple projects, for example, digging a canal is a project, digging a lake and building a berth is a project, building a house is a project, building a garden is another project, and multiple projects are started at the same time, which can save a lot of time." ”

"It's true, but what about the materials" Zheng Jinlun said a little unhappily: "Building a house is not about chopping wood and burning fire, many materials need to be anti-corrosion and moth-proof before use, which requires a lot of time, and the difference is thousands of miles. ”

"If I use a new material, this special material is soft like mud, hard like iron, can shape a lot of shapes, not afraid of wind and sun, not afraid of rain and insects, after building, the strength is higher than wood, masonry, the most important thing is that it can greatly shorten the time of the project, Uncle Zheng, do you think it is feasible?" Zheng Peng suddenly said with a mysterious face.

Zheng Jinlun froze when he heard this, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, but he quickly said with some doubts: "New materials? Is there such a miracle material? ”

Soft as mud, hard as iron, can be shaped at will, but also afraid of weather and insects, there is still this kind of material in the world?

"I said yes, then there must be, Uncle Zheng, have you forgotten your bicycle, I used a bunch of wood that others think is useless to outrun the Maxima of Tuqishi, I believe Uncle Zheng has also heard about it." Zheng Peng said with a grin.

"I've heard that," Zheng Jinlun nodded.

Zheng Peng said with a straight face: "Uncle Zheng, why don't we join forces and create a good story together, not only the house is repaired well, but also repaired quickly, what do you think?" ”

"Anyway, you're the owner, okay, it's up to you." Zheng Jinlun just hesitated for a moment, and quickly agreed.

In the final analysis, Zheng Peng is his own person, and he has made great efforts to Xingyang Zheng's family, and this time it is Zheng Peng's own money, Zheng Jinlun is to cooperate, for an excellent designer, constantly challenging himself is the driving force for progress.

If you succeed, your reputation will increase greatly, and if you lose, Zheng Peng will also take the blame, no matter what, you can add a lot of experience.

For some reason, Zheng Jinlun was a little inexplicably excited in his heart, wanting to see what kind of sparks would be created when he cooperated with Zheng Peng.

"Great, Uncle Zheng, you've worked hard these days."

Zheng Jinlun waved his hand and said: "No, I am a hard-working person, the busier I am, the happier I am, Feiteng, what is the material you are talking about, is it clay porcelain." ”

Soft as mud, hard as iron, can be shaped casually, Zheng Jinlun thinks about it, only the porcelain burned with clay has this possibility.

The mud is very muddy, if it can be burned in a kiln, as long as the formula is suitable, it will become very hard, but the problem is that the porcelain is very brittle, Zheng Jinlun has tried to use porcelain as a material for construction, and found that in addition to decoration, it is not suitable for construction.

It is no exaggeration to say that sometimes if the pile is driven a little harder, it will also shatter and crack.

The imagination is really rich, Zheng Peng did not hide it, and said directly: "Mud is mud, but it is not clay porcelain, but a material called cement." ”

The emergence of cement is an epoch-making invention for the construction industry, making human architecture more diverse.

When Zheng Peng was studying, he once joined a science and technology interest group and participated in many interesting scientific experiments, such as hot air balloons, glass, cement, etc., which were all tried.

Special cement has difficulties, but ordinary cement is not difficult, the main raw materials are limestone and clay, which are easily obtained materials, crushed, batched, ground into raw meal, and then fed into the cement kiln calcined mature material, and then the clinker plus an appropriate amount of gypsum to form a shape, production is not difficult.

With cement, not only does it become easier to build an attic, but it also becomes easier to divert water and pave roads, so that a beautiful house can be built in a short time with quality and quantity, which can be regarded as "building a nest and attracting phoenixes".
