Originally, they were ordinary people outside the city, and they were happy enough to be confined into the city.
I didn't expect that a mud-wall house could be turned into a brick and stone house. This is like pie falling from the sky. I have to agree with it wholeheartedly.
The people who are responsible for building houses in this area are extremely serious.
No one knew which house was allocated to them, so naturally they all had to be built well.
After a while, the temperature in the room gradually rose.
It was early in the morning and the weather was not that hot, but the people watching the kang being heated in the room were already sweating profusely.
Magistrate Deng raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, walked to the edge of the kang, reached out and carefully touched the surface of the kang, his eyes lit up with surprise.
He turned around excitedly and looked at Chen Yong.
"Your Highness, the kang is warm."
Oh my god, I hope I won’t be roasted if I sleep on it.
Magistrate Deng put his entire palm on it, but it was so hot that he immediately withdrew his hand with a hissing sound.
He was really scared of this thing when he fell asleep, for fear that he would wake up in the middle of the night and find himself in a familiar place.
Chen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over, and touched the kang with his hand.
"The temperature needs to be controlled well. Don't keep the fire burning all the time. Just put two thick pieces of wood in to bake it slowly."
"If the fever slows down, it will stay hot until dawn."
Wow, it’s really hot.
This thing needs to be cooked with firewood or charcoal, a small fire with a temperature that is neither too high nor too low, so that it can last longer.
Burning hay is a bad idea.
You can't have someone alone at home, staying up all night with the stove burning red.
The key is that hay flames are fierce and burn quickly.
At that burning rate, I'm afraid no one can lie down on the kang; it's too hot.
When the man who was burning the fire heard this, he immediately threw two pieces of wood into the stove on top of the hay.
By the time the hay was burned out, the firewood was also ignited.
The fire from the burning wood was indeed not as scorching, and the people who were burning the fire felt that the temperature on their faces had dropped a lot.
However, the temperature of the kang did not drop so quickly, but instead seemed to be getting hotter.
At this time, Magistrate Deng's clothes were already soaked, and the sweat on his face was dripping down his chin, and he didn't even have time to wipe it off.
He frowned and glanced at Chen Yong with envy on his face.
Look at how good Chen Yong's physical fitness is. Even in such a hot room, he didn't sweat at all. It's good to know martial arts.
Unlike him, he sweats as if he was fished out of water when it gets a little hot.
The craftsmen were all sweating profusely, but their faces were full of excitement.
I succeeded in building a kang the first time, how could I not be happy?
Looking at King Qianhuang's expression, he seemed very satisfied.
Shen Yong looked carefully in the room for a while, and only after making sure that it was well sealed did he walk out of the stuffy room.
Magistrate Deng breathed a sigh of relief and followed his men out.
As soon as I walked out of the room, a cool breeze hit me in the face, and I felt refreshed instantly.
The originally hot weather was not so hot compared to the stuffy room.
Shen Yong turned around and looked at everyone.
"We will follow this standard and strive to complete the construction of all houses by the end of October."
"The civilians' houses should be remodeled into small courtyard houses according to the blueprints, and the soldiers' accommodations should be remodeled into extended bunk beds. They don't need to be too large, just enough for six people to stay in one room."
If there are ten or twenty men living in one room, the smell will be so terrible that no one or animals can get close to it.
"The kang must be properly sealed, otherwise it's easy to burn people to death."
Shen Yong looked at the carpenters and emphasized.
They won’t understand if you say something like carbon monoxide poisoning, so it would be more frightening to just say they will be burned to death.
"Yes." The craftsmen responded excitedly.
As for what the small courtyards of the common people look like, they have no idea at all.
But no matter what, they got confirmation from King Qianhuang that houses would indeed be built for the people.
Someone had heard this news from Magistrate Deng before, but many people didn't believe it.
In fact, when they were planning to build such nice brick and stone kangs and houses, they were a little bit unbelievable that such nice houses would be given to ordinary people to live in.
However, everyone hoped that this was true, so they built the house very seriously.
Now, they feel more at ease, knowing that this is true.
Magistrate Deng nodded and said, "Once the Ministry of Works has finished drawing the pictures, we will start work immediately."
There are only a few people needed in the Ministry of Industry, and they have been busy as tops recently.
Just as I finished the drawings of the palace, I received the drawings of the training ground. Now I need to draw the houses of the common people and the military camp accommodations.
The people from the Ministry of Industry must carefully plan this expanded area to make the best use of it.
Half of the area is used to build military camps, and the other half is used to build houses for civilians. How can this be possible without proper planning?
He felt sorry for the people in the Ministry of Industry because they were so thin.
I draw day and night, but I won’t gain weight no matter how well I eat.
Shen Yong nodded and said, "We can build the large bunk beds for the military camp first, and let the people from the Ministry of Works take their time to build the houses for the civilians. Don't tire them out."
He did not miss the flash of distress on Magistrate Deng's face.
The people who have been working the hardest recently are indeed those in the Ministry of Industry.
The drawings delivered to his desk were as tall as a person.
We have to make a note of the people in the Ministry of Works and give them all a good reward after the project is completed.
"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your consideration on behalf of the Ministry of Works." Prefect Deng heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be good if it could give the Ministry of Industry a break.
Shen Yong glanced around at the large amount of materials left over for building the city wall.
There are still a lot of materials left, I will buy more when they are used up.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained in Qianhuang City, otherwise it would be a disaster if these materials left outdoors were soaked by water.
After the water level in the city's ditches dropped a lot, he bought some more water to add to it.
It definitely cannot rain, as it will affect the progress of his project.

"What!!?"
The weak officer sat up from the bed and looked at the chief officer in shock.
"Let us work and earn food?"
"Why?"
The officers looked at their leader with great dissatisfaction.
Last night, the boss gave each of them half a steamed bun. After they finished eating, he asked them to clean the stains in the corridor and on the floor.
Although they were still very hungry and weak, they knew that this was arranged by the imperial envoy, so they endured the nausea and did it.
Who would have thought that after waking up, their boss actually asked them to go out to work and earn food.
Oh my god!!
Are you kidding me? He is a police officer. How could a police officer do such a thing?
The other officers who were named all looked at the leader with disapproval.
It's not like they don't have money with them, they can just go buy food. Why should they work with the untouchables?
Who are they and what status do they hold? How can they hang out with the untouchables? It's so degrading!
