Chapter 215 Rammed earth wall, mud bricks

The next morning, it was another busy and noisy morning at the Eleven Trees.

Han Zhaoxiong brought people to the homestead to build a house and yard. He still did not eat breakfast and went to the village homestead early.

While we were having dinner last night, Silver Fox and the others said they would come over to help tomorrow morning.

Tiehua also wants to go to the construction site to help build the house.

She knew that if they wanted to live here, they would also need a house and a yard.

Li Lanzhen told Han Shunde last night that Xue Lao Hu should stay and discuss things.

So, after breakfast, she discussed some recent events with Han Shunde and the others.

First of all, we need to build a few more courtyards.

Anyway, the structure of the yard is the same, so all you have to do is increase the number of yards.

They discussed the need to increase the number of yards.

Giving Yinhe and the three secret guards a yard, Li Lanzhen thought to herself that maybe someone would come looking for Yinhu later.

Tiehua and her eleven other women live in one yard.

Shuisheng and Lingjiao live in the same courtyard. In the future, Shuisheng will get married and have children.

When we were discussing Master Xu.

Li Lanzhen said.

"I have an idea, let's see what you think.

I want to build a school in this paradise, oh, a college.

We invited Mr. Xu to be the teacher and teach our children in Taohuayuan.

How are you guys?

Before Han Shunde, Xue Laohu and others could say anything.

Then there were bursts of hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I want! I'm willing to devote my efforts to teach the children in Peach Blossom Spring."

After saying this, he bowed to Li Lanzhen regardless of what others thought of him.

"Thank you, sister Lan Zhen! I'm so happy!

You guys continue to discuss, I'm going to go out for a walk. Go out for a walk!"

He left and everyone laughed.

Li Lanzhen also laughed.

"That's great! I was planning to ask the old master for help."

Li Lanzhen felt relieved, education is a big deal!

"My idea is to build a school and then build a house in the backyard for teachers and gentlemen to live in.

That is, the courtyard."

Han Shunde asked in confusion, "Isn't there only one teacher now?"

"I believe that Taohuayuan will usher in a new life."

If you think about it carefully, it is true. With so many children, it would be too tiring for only one teacher.

"Okay, let's plan first. We will build the school and Master Xu's house before winter, and then build the other houses and yards in the spring of next year. What do you think?" Han Shunde asked everyone.

"Row."

"can."

"So be it!"

Han Shunde said, "After we go there, we will first choose a good place to build a school. Let's see how to choose. Which location is better?"

After a discussion, several people finally decided to build the school at the front of the village.

Keep some distance from the village, but not too far.

It would be nice if it was more than a hundred meters away so that it could connect with the village.

After discussing this matter, Han Shunde and others prepared to leave.

The ten people brought by Tiehua now regard her as their leader and parent.

Follow her wherever she goes.

In the morning, Li Lanzhen said that the younger girls could go to the fields to help.

But they didn't want to separate, so Li Lanzhen just went with them.

Shuisheng and Han Mingxiang will also go there to build houses.

Water chestnuts followed the apricot and pear blossoms and they went to the fields to farm.

As a result, when Xue Nizi and the others delivered meals this morning, their appetite more than doubled.

Li Lanzhen simply took out the horse and carriage from the space.

A horse carriage and an ox cart should be enough to deliver the food.

Large wooden barrels filled with food were placed on two carts, and Xue Nizi and Li Sanya drove the carts towards the residential area in the north.

Li Lanzhen also wanted to see how the houses and yards in the village were being built.

Just one person, walking slowly along the river.

Today all the children followed, the homestead in the village behind

The older children didn't take them with them, so the younger ones were placed in the fields.

But they were little kids with their own ideas. Lei Lanzhen saw from afar a few little kids holding hands, singing, laughing, chasing and fighting, and running towards the north.

Li Lanzhen did not disturb them and walked slowly behind them.

I’m afraid something might happen to them so I can help them.

Silver Fox and the three secret guards started working at the homestead.

Han Yinan and Goudan are also here with a group of boys. Their task today is to make mud bricks.

Starting from the day after Li Lanzhen left, anyone who had free time would come here to make mud bricks.

Mud bricks are used to build houses above the foundation.

Later, everyone found that the process of rubbing mud bricks was too slow and it was too late.

At this time, Xue Lao Hu provided a good idea, which was rammed earth walls.

To build an earth wall, you actually need to first make a mold for the rammed earth wall.

The mold is also simple. Find wood of similar thickness, length and length, four or five pieces, and bundle them into a row. Make two groups of them, and then make a shelf that can hold the two rows of wood.

Next up is the rammed earth walls.

Fix the two rows of wood firmly inside the rack so that a hollow gap is formed between the two rows of wood.

Then fill the soil in it until it reaches a certain height. Then, four people lift the ropes on the four corners of the tamping pier and tamp it down one by one.

Until the loess is compacted, then add more on top and compact it again.

……

Repeat this cycle until the earth wall reaches the required height.

So they built the house and yard very quickly.

Li Lanzhen used all the stones placed here to build the foundation of the house, and then began to tamp the earth walls on top of the foundation.

At first they were stuck on how to combine the earth walls and stone foundations, which took some time.

Later they came up with a solution, which was to wrap a section of the foundation inside the earth wall.

At the foundation location, dig one meter underground.

Fill with rubble, then large stones, wrap the stone foundation with an earth wall, and tamp it upwards to form a trapezoidal earth wall that is larger underground and slightly narrower at the top.

This solved the problem of the instability of the earth wall.

Even if the problem of the walls of the house and yard was solved.

But mud bricks still need to be made, because people want to use them to build kangs or other more sophisticated buildings.

So this became the children's task and also their joy.

Dig a hole, pile up the soil, water it, chop up the thatch and reeds, mix them in, and stir evenly.

Then, let it ferment overnight and you can use it the next day.

The children used the molds made by Li Erhan and his team to start making mud bricks.

When Li Lanzhen came over, she was shocked by the speed at which they built the house and yard!
