loan!

For the people of the 16th century, it was undoubtedly an extremely fresh term, but for Shi Yiwen, it was an ordinary thing.

Although it was very common, under Xu Sicheng's reminder, he still understood that workers may not be willing to borrow money to buy a house.

After all, borrowing money requires interest.

"We will discuss this matter slowly when we look back. We will first build the house. We will talk about it. There are nearly 2,000 workers in our factories, but no one is willing to live with our family?"

Shi Yiwen laughed casually and said, "Who will the house be sold to?"

Of course it is sold to people. Since there are people, you will definitely not have to worry about selling the house.

In just one day, Shi Yiwen chose the location of the new village - a piece of farmland less than two miles from the iron factory. After buying hundreds of acres of land there, he recruited craftsmen from the refugees in the capital with great fanfare. According to the practice of "work-for-relief", as long as they are refugees, they can recruit them regardless of whether they have skills or not.

There is no need for insurance or introduction from others. Everything is open. However, in just a few days, thousands of straw huts were added near the factory. It was where refugees and their families live, and they only ate and lived on the construction site.

Of course, at the beginning, they trained and renovated the land. At the same time, some of the masons and carpenters were also recruited to train. After all, the houses to be built here are different from the houses they often built in the past.

Considering the cost, the houses in Xincun are different from those of this era. They are not only small courtyards that are common in rural areas in later generations, but also similar to those of three main tiled houses and two side-family houses. Not only that, Shi Yiwen also specially found some architectural materials from the library of the space and drew drawings based on those materials.

"You see, this kind of triangular truss is different from the bucket-type roof truss we use. It requires less technology for carpenters and more bottoms when made. Bucket-type roof truss not only requires several large woods as pillars, but also requires very high technology for craftsmen, which does not meet our needs..."

Holding the drawings, Shi Yiwen explained to Li Xingchu and others that although load-bearing walls and Howard-type trusses had been introduced as early as the construction of the factory, because Zhao Guoye and others were busy building the factory, the construction of houses here could only temporarily recruit craftsmen among the refugees to explain to them the advantages and benefits of the "triangle truss".

Not only are there many columns in ancient Chinese buildings, but more importantly, it is a waste of materials. In order to provide more horizontal support to make brackets and columns, countless wood and working hours are wasted. Compared with the traditional lifting beam structure and the bucket structure, the truss structure introduced from the West in modern times can be said to be time-saving and labor-saving, and can be used for large-span factory construction. For wooden structures, only truss structures can greatly increase the structural span. According to calculations, the use of truss structures is not used, and due to the material characteristics of the wood itself, the maximum can be achieved by 15 meters. The span of large-span wooden triangular trusses can reach 50 meters, and this large-span room is a must-have for the development of industrial construction factories.

It is also because of this that the large brick pillar wooden trunk workshop has always been the feature here since the day when the iron factory was founded. Now it is just to introduce it to private houses.

Sometimes, even if it is explained, it may not be possible. In addition to the drawings, there is another way, which is to take these people to the scene to take a look. For craftsmen like Li Xingchu who have built houses for half their lives, when they came to the large rooms of brick pillars and wooden beams, they looked up at the appearance of several woods clasped together with iron nails, and realized their advantages after comparing them in their hearts.

"Boss, this beam is really cheap!"

It's just saving money, not only saving money, but also saving time.

"No, I guess I'm building three houses like this, but I haven't used much more materials to build one."

"Well, you can save a lot of wood. Let's do this. Just follow this drawing and build a thousand yards first."

"One thousand buildings!"

When the people around him heard this, they all said in surprise.

"Build so many houses, who will you live there?"

Of course, it is for workers to live in. According to the habits developed in another time and space, even if a community is to be built, it is natural to draw a community planning map to intuitively show people the overall planning of the community. Therefore, several more newspaper columns are added near the factory, and the overall planning of the new village is painted on the newspaper columns.

Planning drawings are ready-made - copied from magazines, and even architectural drawings are ready-made. Although these epoch-making houses were only drawn on paper, they still aroused the interest of workers.

For a time, after dinner, all the workers in various factories were talking about houses and the issues of buying or not buying. Of course, those small workers who didn't have much extra money often sighed at the house. However, all this did not stop it, and the new village became increasingly lively.

In less than half a month, not only did it gather there for 10,000 or 20,000 refugees who fled from the south, but the small market at that time even became a town, but this town built along the river on the beach was really too simple.

Although it is simple, it still attracts many refugees. At least they can easily find a job here. Even if they dig sand by the river, their meager income can ensure that their families will not starve to death, which is better than begging in the city.

"Zhiyuan, that is, you can do so many things without remembering fame and fortune."

Sitting on the river bank and looking at the uninhabited river beaches, one by one, the smoke rising from the huts and the laughter of the children, everything reminded Zhang Jingxiu that these refugees had settled their livelihoods now.

"Why are you not remembering fame and fortune? Haven't you seen it? I can make money. If you make a few taels of silver in this thousand houses, it will also make a profit of several thousand taels."

The profit is not high, but there is still profit.

Shi Yiwen's answer made Zhang Jingxiu smile. Don't he know that this amount of money is not eye-catching for Shi Yiwen.

Looking quietly at the flowing river water, Zhang Jingxiu sighed.

"Hey, this drought, I don't know how many people have been displaced..."

"drought?"

Shi Yiwen looked at Zhang Jingxiu in confusion and asked.

"Why did Zixuan say that?"

"Zhiyuan, look at the river."

Pointing at Lugou River, Zhang Jingxiu said,
