Although Shen Ningsi is not a professional painter, it is very easy for a doctor from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to draw a few drawings.
Although the place where those soldiers lived was near the fertile land awarded to her by the emperor, it was not her territory. She should talk to the head of the village and buy that land.
Of course, this kind of thing should be left to Gu Hong.
She had already learned that there were fifty or sixty injured soldiers who had been discharged from the army, and this was because Gu Hong was unwilling to give up any of them!
If it were in other military camps, the casualties might have been even more severe!
Gu Hong is not a bad person!
At least he still cares about his own people.
"Fifty or sixty soldiers, we need at least sixty houses and a vegetable garden..."
Shen Ningsi frowned and thought, she knew that time was very tight. The people sent by Gu Hong came and went, and those who were far away might take several months to come back, while those who were nearby might take a few days or more than ten days.
So now, every minute and every second is very precious to her.
Shen Ning thought for a while, the courtyard house is the most suitable for this era, but it is a bit complicated to build and is not suitable at all.
Suddenly, she thought of the house in her hometown. There was a main hall as soon as she entered the door, with two rooms on both sides. It could also be made into three or four rooms, and the sizes were not fixed.
Build a kitchen next to it.
This kind of house is also very convenient to build. When Shen Ningsi went back to the countryside to visit her grandmother, she saw her neighbors building this kind of house. Together with the kitchen, a house can be completed in two or three days.
In other words, as long as there are enough people, several houses can be built in two or three days.
You can grow vegetables and hang clothes in front of and behind the house, and you can also build a wall.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningsi was not idle. He picked up the brush and started drawing on the white paper.
In half a day, she had already drawn the structure and overall layout of the room.
Dozens of houses are scattered around the thousands of acres of fertile farmland, and a small path connects it to Wanning Village.
"Sprinkle some flower seeds along the roadside, and wait until next spring, when the flowers bloom in all their glory..."
When Shen Ning thought of this, his mood became extremely good.
These soldiers who come to defend their country not only need a place to live, but also need to live well and eat well!
Whether in this life or the previous one, what Shen Ningsi admired most were soldiers and those who did practical things for the people.
The reason why she became a doctor of agriculture was that she wanted to do practical things for the people!
After making sure that there were no problems with the house structures and geographical structures he had drawn, Shen Ningsi put down the brush in his hand and stretched lazily.
Just at this moment, the study door was pushed open from the outside.
"Sisi..."
Gu Hong's words came to an abrupt halt, because what came into his eyes was a Shen Ningsi who was different from before.
That lazy and charming feeling...
Gu Hong subconsciously reached out and touched his nose, hmm... no nosebleed!
"Gu...Gu Hong, don't you know that you should knock on the door before entering?"
Shen Ningsi rolled her eyes at Gu Hong, and then her face returned to normal. It was this one look that showed Gu Hong's indescribable charm!
"Ahem... This General was anxious to find you! How could I have thought of so much!"
Gu Hong subconsciously turned his face away and said proudly, he would not let Shen Ningsi discover his embarrassment!
"What is it?"
She was not a shy person, and she looked at Gu Hong with a serious face.
"Didn't you say last night that you'd be the one drawing the structural diagrams for the house? Early this morning, Zhao Xianxing and his brothers left, and Sanyazi went to buy the building materials. Let me see if you've finished the drawings yet? Once the bricks arrive, we can start construction!"
"I've already drawn the blueprint for the house. It's right here."
Shen Ningsi did not hide anything and directly took out the drawing that he had just drawn and the ink was not yet dry.
Gu Hong immediately walked over and looked at it carefully.
"Great! Although I don't know how to build a house, this looks very simple! And practical! Sisi, I really want to see what other surprises you have in your head!"
Shen Ning thought: “…”
How to see? Cut it open?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble!
"Do you want more?"
The expression on Shen Ningsi’s face instantly turned cold.
"When did this general say he didn't want it?" Gu Hong put away the drawings on the table before he finished speaking.
As if afraid that Shen Ningsi would regret it.
Ana Shen just watched calmly, while trying to calm herself down.
“Don’t be angry, Shen Ningsi, you and Gu Hong are now in a cooperative relationship…”
She kept reminding herself in her heart.
"By the way, the land next to the fertile fields still belongs to Wanning Village. You need to go with the village head to buy that land back to avoid any trouble in the future!"
Shen Ningsi suddenly thought of this matter.
"I understand. I'll go find the village head now." Gu Hong had a serious expression on his face.
He has thoroughly experienced how difficult the villagers of Wanning Village are during this period of time.
Gu Hong took the drawings and didn't stay long. After saying a few more words, he left in a hurry.
Only when she could no longer see Gu Hong did she pick up the herbal tea on the table and drink it in big gulps.
Then, he picked up the brush beside him, quickly wrote a few words and posted it on the door.
Knock before coming in!!!
At noon, Sanyazi had already returned to Wanning Village, followed by several donkey carts loaded with bricks.
However, they did not go directly into the village, but unloaded the bricks next to the fertile fields.
Gu Hong knew that Sanyazi had returned, so he also came here with the drawings.
"General, I've already made an agreement with them. They'll deliver over a dozen donkey carts of bricks to us every day! Their stockpile will last us for a while, and several kilns are also operating at the same time."
When Sanyazi said this, he laughed so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not!
I feel very motivated when I think that my brothers will have a new house to live in when they come here!
"Well, this is Sisi's drawing. Show it to the brothers who know the business!"
Gu Hong handed the drawing to Sanyazi, but before he could feel happy, he heard Gu Hong speak coldly.
"If you dare to damage this blueprint, I'll rip your head off and kick it like a cuju!"
Sanyazi shuddered and felt that his hand holding the paper was a little heavier than usual.
"General, don't worry. As long as the plan is alive, the people will die. If the plan is lost, the people will die!"
A faint syllable came from Gu Hong's nose.
"Go to the camp and see how many brothers know how to build houses. If there aren't enough people, go find people in the next village. The wages are the same as the market price!"
