For many days, Xia Hongsheng led the group of craftsmen to lay the foundation and build a house in the military academy. Because those craftsmen had never built this kind of house before, they didn't know anything, and they needed Xia Hongsheng to guide him every step of the way, and sometimes they even needed to do it themselves. This experimental house also just allows them to learn how to build this kind of house and accumulate some experience, and in the future, the scale of the military academy is so large, Xia Hongsheng doesn't want to have to guide every building by himself.

Thanks to this, Xia Hongsheng has also been tanned a lot, and he doesn't look so weak. The height seems to have inadvertently lifted up a lot, and his body is also much stronger, and he is no longer as thin as he used to be in Luanzhou.

Because of the need to build a house, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was temporarily shelved, causing Li Lao Er to send people over to urge the draft several times. and Li Gang, who also asked people to come over and ask a few times, Xu Qixian even ran to Xia Hongsheng's house twice in three days, but he flew again and again.

Fortunately, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is nearing the end, and the world is about to return to Jin, and after Xia Hongsheng is ready to finish building this experimental house, he immediately starts to complete it.

Then there is another problem at hand.

Publicize.

Since Xia Hongsheng wants to create the publishing industry of Datang, the books are naturally not used to give away, but to be sold. But if you want someone to buy it, you have to let people know first, if no one knows that there is a book, then there is no way to sell books. Therefore, it is necessary to do propaganda in front and accumulate popularity. Novels, movies, TV series, etc., which one didn't start promoting it in advance, and threw out a few pieces from time to time. A couple of teasers. Earned enough eyeballs. And then it was released?

Xia Hongsheng also wanted to do the same, but he lacked the means to publicize it. Ad? Come on, what kind of advertising? Hand out flyers on the streets? Or forget it, how many flyers do you have to print? And to whom, most of the ordinary people are illiterate at all, okay!

But when I think about it, these people are illiterate, so they don't even know how to buy books!

Sure enough, it is very important to open up people's wisdom. And the foundation of enlightening the people is to make most people in the world able to read and write!

"Master Hou!" A voice woke Xia Hongsheng from his contemplation, and when he looked up, Xia Hongsheng saw a craftsman standing in front of him, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng raise his head, he hurriedly said: "Master Hou, our framework is finished!" ”

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly stood up and looked over there, and saw a three-story frame structure standing there, and the gray cement wall made Xia Hongsheng see a strong sense of familiarity, and he felt that he was back in the afterlife. I was standing in front of a construction site.

The next moment, though. The title of the person next to him reminded Xia Hongsheng: "Master Hou! The next step should be the topping you mentioned, but what should I do if it's empty? The original house was made of civil engineering, and the beams could be supported. But this time you want to use bricks and stones to top, or flat, and I don't know if the beam can hold up. ”

Xia Hongsheng glanced at him angrily and said, "How did you hit the top of the first layer, and now you can fight it, what, can you forget it?" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! The craftsman shook his head again and again: "The little ones are just worried, there was only one layer at the beginning, so they can hold on, but now it is the second floor......

"Don't worry, you can hold on." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said: "Don't forget how strong the cement is, not to mention that there is a steel skeleton with thick wrists inside, not to mention two layers, even three or four layers are fine!" ”

With Xia Hongsheng's guarantee, those craftsmen began to get busy again, and all the things used for topping were ready, and there was still more than half a day to rest. Because the topping can not be topped from half a day, it can only be a single day, and after the topping, firecrackers must be released, and then rest for two days, and wait for the top to solidify and solidify, before continuing to cover the top. These are the rules that the Hou Ye ordered, and this Hou Ye only saw it from the later generations, but he didn't know why, but he did it like that and it had a deep meaning, so he imitated it.

There is half a day to rest and start topping early tomorrow morning. Xia Hongsheng has lived in the military academy for many days, and he finally has time to go back home. These days, because he can't do without him to build a house, Xia Hongsheng eats and lives in the military academy.

After seeing that everything is ready, you can start topping directly early tomorrow morning, Xia Hongsheng will tell those craftsmen to rest. He also hurried home with Qi Yong.

The first thing I did when I arrived at home was to let the cook mix two glasses of juice first, put ice cubes in them and bring them up, drank a few sips happily, and made a comfortable sound, Xia Hongsheng wiped the sweat on his head, summer is coming!

Looking at this momentum, it will not take seven or eight days for this small experimental building to be completed, and once it passes the pass of Li Laoer's pass, the military academy can immediately start construction. With the support of Li Lao Er, there are new equipment and tools provided by the military aircraft workshop, as long as the supply of masonry, cement and steel bars is up, it should be possible to start several construction sites at the same time. If you do the math, you should be able to catch up with the enrollment in late summer and early autumn. Of course, because the number of students in the first batch is under control, because the facilities are still under construction, it is very imperfect, and it is estimated that there will not be many buildings that can be put into use. At that time, according to the progress and scale of construction, the number of students to be recruited in the first batch of military academy will be decided.

Xia Hongsheng sat in the rocking chair he asked the carpenter to build, and on the small wooden table next to him was half a cup of juice that was exuding a cold smell, and he was swaying like this, and he fell asleep in a daze without knowing what he had.

When I was drowsy, I only felt a gentle breeze blowing on my face, and I took away the restlessness brought by the heat at once.

Because it is comfortable, it is very comfortable to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept in a daze, as if I was gradually waking up, the gentle breeze was still there, and my eyes opened a gap slightly, only to see that it was not the breeze between heaven and earth, but someone sitting next to me gently waving the fan.

"Moon Fairy Girl?" Xia Hongsheng woke up and saw clearly the person sitting next to him gently fanning the fan.

"Awake?" Yuexian smiled: "Childe is really tired, and he snores when he sleeps." Childe didn't know to go back to the house to rest. Just fall asleep here. It's as hot as today. Otherwise, wouldn't you have to suffer from the wind and cold? ”

Xia Hongsheng has indeed been tired these days. Get up early every morning on the construction site, stay all day, and sometimes he has to take the lead to work, now this body has not grown up, where can he do the work on the construction site? But those craftsmen can't, and he can only teach them by himself.

"I'm a little tired, I've been on the construction site these days, and many of those craftsmen can't. I still have to lead them to work, and my back hurts. Xia Hongsheng nodded and said. I snored from sleep, and it seemed that I was really tired.

saw Yuexian put down the pu fan, stood up and walked to the back of the rocking chair, and then gently kneaded Xia Hongsheng's head with both hands, and then went down his neck and massaged it on his shoulders.

Xia Hongsheng was a little uncomfortable, but Yuexian pressed Xia Hongsheng's shoulder to prevent him from getting up, still kneading. However, Ling Xia Hongsheng felt that his body bones suddenly loosened, and his body didn't seem to be so tight.

"Thank you, Miss Moonfairy." Xia Hongsheng got up from the rocking chair. It felt as if the bones in his body had become lighter, and he looked at Yuexian, who was panting slightly, and said.

Yuexian raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Where is the son, waiting for the son is the slave's business, why should the son say thank you?" ”

Because he slept and went through the massage of Yuexian, Xia Hongsheng finally felt awake at this time, and he was not idle, so he immediately went back to the study to continue drawing the planning plan of the military school. Xia Hongsheng needs to draw the planning diagram first, and then he can make a sand table model according to the planning diagram.

Yuexian also followed Xia Hongsheng to the study, laid paper for Xia Hongsheng, and helped him sharpen charcoal. Yuexian is very discerning, it seems that Xia Hongsheng has a good heart, and he can always prepare the things that Xia Hongsheng needs at hand, which makes Xia Hongsheng much more convenient.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that someone outside came to call Xia Hongsheng to eat several times, Xia Hongsheng put down the charcoal in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the planning map in front of him in detail.

"Alright, one more mission completed!" Xia Hongsheng stood up and stretched. The planning diagram is almost finalized, and you can take it to the military academy tomorrow and start making a sand table model according to the planning diagram. After doing a good job of the sand table model, Li Shimin can first see the effect, and second, in the process of building the military academy, it can also be used as a reference, and the plan can be adjusted at any time.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng had finally finished it, Yue Xian reminded at this time: "Childe, the old lady has already sent someone to call several times, and now that it has been completed, Childe should hurry up!" ”

"Okay." Xia Hongsheng nodded, the two left the study together, and when they arrived in the court, the sister-in-law saw the two come in together, first stunned slightly, and then smiled very brightly, and kept going back and forth between the two with her eyes.

Xia Hongsheng pursed her lips, and her sister-in-law's current mind is to let Xia Hongsheng hurry up and get married and hold the baby, so that she can spread the branches, it is estimated that as long as a woman walks within a few steps of Xia Hongsheng, she will be able to think of it. So Xia Hongsheng didn't think it was strange and didn't pay attention to it. It's just that Yuexian was blushed by her sister-in-law, and stood there very cramped, as if she didn't know where to put her hand.

"Go and call Miss Pan'er and Miss Qiao'er, and let them eat together!" Xia Hongsheng made an excuse and said to Yuexian.

Yuexian was pardoned, glanced at Xia Hongsheng gratefully, answered yes, and then hurriedly left.

"Hongsheng, the more my sister-in-law looks at it, the more I think this girl is good and good-looking. Light temperament, can stay at home, not a messy person, the key is to be good to you, sister-in-law can be seen this afternoon, has she been fanning you? As soon as Yuexian left, the woman chattered to Xia Hongsheng.

"Sister-in-law! You think so, does Xu Hui know? Xia Hongsheng glanced at the woman and said faintly.

The sister-in-law disagreed: "It's an ordinary merchant family, and there are also three wives and four concubines!" You are now a marquis, looking for Chang'an, which marquis is the only one who has a wife? This is your heavy responsibility, urging you to spread the branches, but it is the heavy responsibility of your sister-in-law! If you don't marry more daughters-in-law, how can you spread the branches?! (To be continued......)
