Lee Kee Construction, a new benchmark in today's construction industry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When many people were completely ignorant of cement, they were the first to try cement as a new building material, and got many new materials and new construction methods from Li Chao. Li Ji was built at the earliest, and it was the Zhangjia class where Li Chao used to repair the kang and change the stove.

In a few years, this team has become very large and strong, and they have long ceased to do small work such as repairing kang and renovating stoves. What they are receiving now is to build manors, villas, or even directly build cities and ponds, and build bridges and docks, and they take all kinds of big work.

The model of this team is very similar to that of the big construction companies in later generations.

It has its own special designers, special craftsmen, special mechanical tools, etc., and even the engineering team below has its own backbone. They are able to work on multiple projects at the same time.

When there is a lot of work, just recruit more small workers, and the technical backbone and management backbone are enough. When there are few people, pay the small workers and temporary workers and let them go home. Even because of the large team and many projects, it is also possible to transfer manpower between various projects.

Coming to Yuliangzhou to repair a house, there is no technical content for them, except for the more houses to be built, the construction period is tight, it is really not challenging at all.

Li Ji Construction is full of Li Chao's characteristics, with a clear division of labor, and each team performs its own duties. Design and planning, construction quality inspection, as well as responsible for material procurement, transportation, deployment, and logistics support.

Everyone just needs to do their own work according to the above task.

The craftsmen all bring their own apprentices, and the master craftsman is an engineering team, with master craftsmen, craftsmen, semi-skilled workers, craftsman apprentices, as well as small workers and temporary workers, with clear hierarchies.

After a while, the first batch of cement was mixed.

Take a hammer to crack the bolt, the stirred cement leaks out, there are special workers responsible for connecting the cement into the barrel, and there are special workers to pick the cement into the hands of the bricklaying craftsmen.

Someone else was responsible for lifting the bricks to the edge of the wall base.

The craftsman sets up the line and nails it. Then take your apprentices and start building the wall, you don't need to build a plate first, you don't need to pick up a lot of soil, a trowel is enough.

Take a trowel to pick some mixed cement from the bucket, smear a little on the bricks, and then put the bricks along the line of the dug wall base, one by one, and repeat and repeat, one row after another, and then another layer, layer by layer.

In the eyes of others, these craftsmen really made it very simple to build the wall.

Lin Changshi and other officials were dumbfounded.

"Is it possible to build a wall like this? It seems to be too easy, can it be sturdy? ”

"Of course it's sturdy."

Although cement is used on a large scale this time, in fact, before the cement plant was built, Li Kee Construction began to build a small factory and tried cement. It's not about building a dam or something, it's about building a brick wall, and now the cement is completely sufficient.

If it weren't for the fact that the production cost of cement is still quite high, Li Chao plans to directly make cement hollow bricks, which are light and large, and build houses faster.

To build a one-story house, cement bricks are actually completely sufficient. There are no problems with sturdiness and warmth, etc., the only drawback is that it is not shockproof.

However, in this era, a cement brick house is a brick house, and it is not worse than the rammed earth of mud bricks. In the event of an earthquake, the earthquake resistance of thatched and rammed earth houses is not much higher.

Lin Changshi looked at so many craftsmen, building many houses at the same time, and the wall foundations of hundreds of houses were being built rapidly, and he was in awe.

At this rate, a house can really be built in seven days.

The group walked slowly.

Lin Changshi found that the method of laying bricks in this house planned for the palace people was different from what he saw for the emperor just now, and some of the bricks were built vertically.

"Why is that?"

"Save bricks!" Li Chao said bluntly without hesitation.

In fact, there are many ways to build brick walls, including solid bricks and bucket bricks. Bucket bricks, that is, some of the smooth, some stand, so that you can save bricks, this way is called the empty bucket wall, there is a sleep and a bucket, a sleep of three buckets, double bricks sleepless empty bucket and other ways.

"Is it sturdy?"

"It's just a one-story house, and it's not very big, and the empty walls don't affect the solidity."

The craftsman on one side came over and explained to them, "There are many ways to build a brick wall. Our bricks for building walls, in fact, have special standards, each brick is made into the cellar and burned out of the same size, the ratio of length, width and thickness is four to two to one, we build the wall, even the size of the ash joint is strictly regulated. According to the arrangement of the bricks on my wall, the thickness of our wall is also divided into several types. ”

"Generally, the thickness of the masonry of our wall is determined by the multiple of half a brick, such as generally we call it half a brick wall, a brick wall, a brick and a half wall, two brick walls, etc., and the corresponding dimensions are three and a half inches, seven inches, one foot, one and a half feet, etc., so we also call three and a half inches of walls, seven inches of walls, one foot of walls and one and a half feet of walls."

"Generally, a seven-inch wall is just a vertical brick. The one-foot wall is a vertical and horizontal brick joint with a standard brick joint, and the one-foot-and-a-half wall is a two-story seven-inch brick joint with a little wider. ”

......

The head craftsman talked to Lin Changshi and other officials about the standard size of the bricks burned by Li Kee, as well as the general scale and thickness of the wall, and the various ways of building the wall.

What solid bricks, bucket bricks, what three and a half inches thick, seven feet thick, what standard brick joints, what one shun one ding wall building method, cross type, multi shun one ding type, one sleep and one bucket, etc., everyone who listens is confused.

But listening to such a professional term, Lin Changshi and the others also felt that these people were not cutting corners.

After half a day's work, the wall has been built to almost a person's height, and it has to be put up on a shelf.

Someone has already brought in the bamboo, and these are specialized scaffolding workers. Now the wall is not high, and the shelves do not need to be tied very complicated, take a few large stools, and then tie the rows of bamboos to the top, and then tie them tightly, and the plasterer can stand on them and continue to build the wall.

It's just that the brick movers are a little harder, and they have to beat the bricks to the rack.

A few small workers climbed up the shelf, and then the people below took the bricks and threw them up one by one, and the people above took the bricks with their empty hands and put them aside, and the craftsmen skillfully picked up the bricks and continued to build the wall while plastering the cement.

"Throwing bricks like this, it's amazing!" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

"What is this, when the house is built to a height of more than a zhang, they will throw it directly up like this below, and the people above will stand on the shelf, and they can also skillfully pick up the bricks." Li Chao smiled, "Actually, at first glance, you will think it is amazing, but in fact, it is just skilled." Practice makes perfect, as long as you are skilled enough, many things that seem difficult are not complicated! ”

Outsiders think that it is more convenient to use a rope to hang a basket of bricks, and it is more labor-saving if a pulley is added. But in fact, the small workers like to stand directly under one person to throw, and one person to stand above to pick up.

As long as they are skilled bricklayers, the speed at which they throw is actually faster than directly hanging bricks. In Li Kee Construction, he basically uses this seemingly backward method.

"In fact, the brick-making people are all small workers, but they can get more wages among the small workers."

"It's more fun than juggling!"

Lin Changshi looked at the walls, growing upwards slowly, and now he really believes that Li Chao said that he can build the palace in seven days.

It's true, it's just that this palace is a little shabby, but this speed is really unparalleled, which is admirable! (To be continued.) )
