Li Ji Creation is a new benchmark for today's construction industry.

When many people were completely ignorant of cement, they first began to try out new building materials such as cement, and obtained many new materials and new construction methods from Li Chao. Li Ji's construction was the first Zhangjiaban who used to repair kangs and stoves.

In a few years, this team has become very large and strong. They have long stopped doing small jobs such as repairing kangs and stoves. What they are now taking care of are building manors and villas, or even directly building cities and ponds, and also building bridges and docks. They have all kinds of big jobs.

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

They have their own special designers, special craftsmen, specialized machinery and tools, etc., and even the engineering teams below have their own backbone. They take on work everywhere and can start multiple projects at the same time.

When there are too many jobs, just hire more small workers, and there are enough technical backbones and management backbones. When there are fewer people, pay the wages for small workers and temporary workers and let them go home. Even because of the large team and many projects, people can be mobilized between various projects.

It was not technical for them to come to Yuliangzhou to build a house. Apart from the more houses they were going to build and the tight construction period was really not challenging at all.

Li Ji's creation is full of Li Chao's characteristics, with clear division of labor, each team performs its own duties, design planning, construction quality inspection, and material procurement, transportation, allocation, and logistics support.

Everyone just needs to do their own job according to the above tasks.

The craftsmen all brought their own apprentices. The big craftsmen were an engineering team, with big craftsmen, craftsmen, semi-skilled workers, craftsmen apprentices, small workers and temporary workers, with clear grades.

In a short while, the first batch of cement was stirred.

When I knocked on the bolt with the hammer, the stirred cement was leaked out. A specialist was responsible for connecting the cement into the bucket, and a specialist was responsible for carrying the cement into the hands of the brick-laying craftsmen.

Someone is also responsible for carrying the bricks to the edge of the wall base.

The craftsman sets the ropes and nails. Then he takes his apprentice to start building the wall. There is no need to set up the board first, nor does it need to pick up a large amount of soil. A mud knife is enough.

Take a mud knife and pick some mixed cement from the bucket, apply a little on the brick, then place the bricks along the standard rope in the base of the dug wall, one piece after another, and then build it repeatedly, finishing one row after another, then laying it up layer by layer.

To others, these craftsmen are really simple to build walls.

Officials such as Lin Changshi were stunned.

"Can you build a wall like this? It seems to be a little too easy. Can it be solid and solid?"

"Surely strong."

Although cement was used on a large scale this time, before the cement factory was completed, Li Ji Construction started to build a small factory and tried cement. It was not about building a reservoir dam or something, building a brick wall, and now cement is completely enough.

If it weren't for the high production cost of cement, Li Chao would have planned to directly make hollow cement bricks, which are light and large, making it faster to build a house.

When building a first-story house, cement bricks are actually completely enough. There is no problem with sturdiness and warmth. The only disadvantage is that it is not shock-proof.

However, in this era, a house made of cement bricks is at least a brick house. Compared with the rammed earth of mud bricks and mud bricks, it is not bad. In an earthquake, the earthquake resistance of thatched rammed earth houses is not much higher.

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

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

The group slowly walked around.

Lin Changshi discovered that the brick-building method of this house planned for palace people to live in is different from what I saw for the emperor just now. Some bricks are built vertically.

"Why is this?"

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

There are actually many ways to lay brick walls, including solid bricks and sluice bricks. Some are smooth and some are standing, so that bricks can be saved more. This method is called an empty bucket wall, with many ways of sleeping one bucket, one sleeping three buckets, and double-dibble bricks sleepless empty buckets.

“Is it so strong?”

"We are just a one-story house, and the house is not very big, and the empty wall does not affect the sturdiness."

The craftsmen on the side came over and explained to them, "There are many ways to lay brick walls. In fact, we have special standards for building bricks. Each brick is made into a cellar and is the same size. The length, width and thickness ratio are four to two to one. When we build walls, we even have strict regulations on the size of the ash joints. According to the arrangement of the bricks in my wall building, the thickness of our walls is also divided into several types."

"Generally, the masonry thickness of our walls is determined by multiples of half bricks. For example, we usually call half brick walls, one brick wall, one brick wall, two brick walls, etc. The corresponding dimensions are three and a half inches, seven inches, one foot, one and a half feet, etc. Therefore, we also call three and a half walls, seven inches, one foot wall and one and a half wall."

"Generally, a seven-inch wall is just a vertical brick. A foot wall is a vertical brick and a horizontal brick joint. A foot and a half wall is a two-layer seven-inch brick joint and a little widening brick joint."

......

Jiangtou talked to Lin Changshi and other officials about the standard size of the bricks burned by Li Ji, the general scale and thickness of the walls, and various ways to build walls.

What are solid bricks, bucket bricks, what are three and a half inches thick, seven feet thick, what are the standard brick joints, what are the one-straight one-die wall building method, the cross type, the most straight one-die type, one-sleep one-die type, etc., everyone who listens to them is confused.

But listening to such professional terms, Lin Changshi and others felt that these people were not cutting corners.

In just half a day, the wall was built to almost one person's height, and it was so stubborn.

Someone has pulled the bamboos here, and these are specialized scaffolding workers. The walls are not high now, and the racks do not need to be tied very complicatedly. Take a few large stools, then tie them up in rows of bamboos on top, tie them tightly and fix them, and the plasterer can stand on it and continue building the wall.

But the brick-moving workers worked hard, and they had to build the bricks onto the stands.

Several workers climbed onto the shelves, and then the people below took the bricks one by one with bricks. The people above skillfully took the bricks and placed them aside. The craftsmen skillfully picked up the bricks and continued to smear cement while building the walls.

"It's amazing to throw bricks like this!" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

"What's this? When the house is built to more than ten feet high, they will throw it up like this. The people above stand on the shelf and can skillfully pick up bricks." Li Chao said with a smile, "Actually, you will find it amazing at first glance, but in fact you are just proficient. Practice makes perfect. As long as you are proficient enough, many things that seem difficult are not complicated!"

Outsiders think it is more convenient to hang baskets of bricks with a rope, and it is easier to add a pulley. But in fact, the workers like to just stand down and throw them up and pick them up by one person.

As long as they are skilled brick workers, their throwing and connecting speed is actually faster than hanging bricks directly. In Li Ji's construction, they basically use this seemingly backward method.

"The bricks are actually all small workers, but they can get more wages among small workers."

“It feels more fun than watching juggling!”

Lin Changshi looked at the walls and grew upwards. Now he really believed that Li Chao said that the palace would be built in seven days.
Chapter completed!
