I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 195 Formation of Production Teams

"The stone bricks on the ground can indeed be omitted, since our goal is to get through the winter."

Li Moss marked an X on the foundation section.

"Um."

Zi Yi and Zi An nodded to the Holy Maiden.

"But if we want to build townhouses, we still need to dig holes."

"Um?"

Hagi Saint uttered a questioning sound.

"Aren't their houses just made of branches and mud? Why did they need to dig a pit?"

Zi'an squinted.

"You don't bury your house at all?"

Haki Saint blinked.

"I……"

Li Mosi spoke.

"Even ordinary people's houses have four slightly thicker pillars."

He casually drew an inverted frame on the side, with the four vertical prisms of the frame extending downwards.

"There was only one house upside down on the ground, which was blown away by the winter wind."

Are you here to play a little bit of Moving Castle?

"oh."

Hagi Saint pursed his lips.

She really didn't know about this.

popping.

Li Mosi tapped the paper with the pen handle, signaling the three to refocus their attention.

"To make the ground more stable, we can add gravel and compact it in simple layers. We can also use existing houses for renovation."

"Hiss~ Modification?"

Zi Yi thought about the thin earthen wall.

Zi'an had thought of that too.

She asked, "Master, it seems that the wall can't withstand the ramming of earth anymore?"

When they were building walls before, they used wooden walls as molds.

That was a solid wooden wall.

But both sides of that wall are made of round logs!

There are only tree branches in this mud house!

I'm afraid the whole wall might collapse.

"You're wrong. You still haven't grasped the right way of thinking."

Li Mosi did not directly answer his disciple's question.

He asked a question in return.

Why do we plan to build the wall using rammed earth?

"More durable?"

Zi Yi thought of the earthen wall that had been hit by a fireball.

"More warm?"

Zi'an thought of the goal that Li Mosi had just mentioned.

"Yes, all of them."

Li Mosi nodded and gave the answer directly before the disciples could ask any questions.

"But our goal now is to be fast, while ensuring warmth."

The saint realized something.

"Craftsman, you..."

Li Moss spoke faster and overwhelmed her.

"I'm not going to use rammed earth."

Rammed earth is just a method, not an ancestral method.

"Our current goal is to have walls that are thick enough for insulation. The method Zi'an just mentioned, which involves directly applying mud, is feasible."

"We can just apply mud up to the thickness of the rammed earth!"

Although its insulation performance is not as good as solid rammed earth, it is still a leap forward!

Zi'an smiled and nodded vigorously.

She knew that the method she had used for so many years would work!

What is the thickness of the rammed earth?

That's as wide as two Zian!

The saintess couldn't understand again.

"Won't that still cause the original wall to collapse?"

Li Mosi couldn't be bothered with her.

"Next, let's talk about the uses of stone bricks."

The saintess pursed her lips, and the three of them looked back together.

Li Mosi randomly drew a few squares to represent stone bricks.

"Before applying the mortar, we can first build a wall about half the height of a house using stone bricks. This will prevent it from collapsing when we apply the mortar."

Those stone bricks are all very good, big and hard, they can definitely withstand it.

The three nodded.

Although neither of them had done it before, it did sound feasible from Li Mosi's tone.

"In order to make the stone bricks fit into the original wall, some mortar also needs to be applied in between."

Li Mosi then pointed to the roof with his pen.

"But given the state of their houses now, it would be difficult for them to support logs."

"Then we can build short walls on both sides using stone bricks!"

Following Li Mosi's words, Zi Yi immediately thought of a solution.

Zi'an nodded.

"That's what I think too."

"You're right."

Li Mosi nodded.

"Finally, we stuffed the stove, the heated brick bed, and the chimney inside..."

In this way, they obtained a completely new design for the earthen house.

Compared to the original rammed earth house, this house is clearly not as aesthetically pleasing as Li Mosi's.

It is neither neat nor pretty.

In terms of aesthetics, it could even sit at the same table as a modern earthen house.

It's like a modern earthen house with an added bulky layer...

Li Mosi originally wanted to describe it as a cotton-padded coat, but no matter how bulky a cotton-padded coat is, it is still more neat than the exterior of this house.

The room seemed to have been fitted with a cattail coat that he had only ever seen in black and white photographs in history books.

It's incredibly ugly.

But at this point in time, a house that keeps you warm is a good house.

This house looks very sturdy!

Ziyi and Zian just thought the house was chubby and looked nice.

It looks like it's gained weight and is preparing for winter.

"I'll draw the picture in a way that the craftsman can understand."

Li Mosi nodded at the new blueprints and then looked at his two disciples.

"There's one more thing."

Ziyi and Zian looked at Li Mosi.

He continued speaking.

"Where do you think we've come to reach with our people?"

Zi'an muttered to himself.

"If distributing meat is considered benevolence, then making them work in exchange for food is considered righteousness..."

Just as she was pondering the events of the past two days, Zi Yi came to the answer first.

"present."

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Mosi with some excitement.

"Master, shouldn't we now assign them specific tasks and positions?"

Just like in the tribe, building houses is basically unrelated to craftsmen, who are only responsible for making tools, the building work here will certainly not be handed over to craftsmen!

They want to get all their people moving!

"right."

Li Mosi pointed to the concept drawing of the new house with her pen and began to speak.

"The previous work was preliminary, done to make it easier for us to control these three territories. The roads made it easy for us to get there, the walls were removed to eliminate obstacles, and the people who benefited from the land were grateful to us."

"Weeding, cutting down trees, and filling in soil can all be done at the same time. In addition, since there are not enough tools, I just roughly assigned them tasks that they could manage based on their physical condition."

"But building a house is different."

"Without digging up the ground, we can't bury the pillars. Without burying the pillars, we can't fill in the soil and compact it. Without compacting the ground, we can't build walls and heated brick beds. Without these, we can't thicken the walls, put on the roof, or build chimneys."

A house can be built gradually.

But the three knightly territories together comprise nearly one hundred and forty households.

Apart from the houses belonging to a dozen or so craftsmen, all the other houses needed to be renovated.

At this scale, terraced earthen houses must be dismantled into assembly line products with clearly defined processes.

The working people also had to form teams.

Even considering the subsequent impact of townhouses on the residents...

Perhaps in the future, production teams will be divided according to the location of the houses.

Since we're going to build a new house on the existing one, why not just divide it up by area in advance?

"Um."

Upon hearing his words, Zi Yi, Zi An, and the Holy Maiden both nodded slowly.

That's definitely the case.

The saintess had become somewhat numb to it.

How come this craftsman is so good at assigning tasks to others?

She wouldn't believe it if someone said she hadn't personally mobilized so many people to do things!

Li Mosi then spoke.

"First, we need to select a leader, and for now, we'll choose from the craftsmen's second sons."

"Further, we distinguish between labor capacity, dividing them into strong laborers who can do heavy physical labor, semi-laborers who are not very strong, and children who cannot even walk and need to be taken care of."

"Then we divided the tasks according to the required abilities. Digging, laying bricks, and ramming earth all require a certain amount of strength, so we prioritized assigning strong laborers to these tasks."

"After dividing the children into teams, we also need to assign people to manage them."

"Also, think about how to implement a work point system."

Li Mosi took a breath.

"Alright, take your time thinking about it. You're to handle this independently, and you don't need to tell me the conclusion yet."

His disciples had already done this once, and now he needed to let them try to do it independently.

He's going to draw.

"Okay, sure."

Ziyi and Zian stared at each other blankly.

Why do I feel even more tired?

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
