The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"This is a triangular structure, don't you understand? Take the blueprint and let me explain it to you. The triangular structure is stable. Look here..."

Following Wang Kang, we have already arrived at the construction area. What Wang Kang said earlier is correct. It is indeed a mess here, with sand, gravel, bricks and mud everywhere...

The weather is sultry and people sweat easily.

When there is a slight breeze, dust will be raised, it will be blown on the clothes, and it will also float on the face.

It was Zhang Xianxian's first time in such an environment.

She is the daughter of Xuan Ping Hou, a rich lady, well-clothed and well-fed, and her hands do not touch the spring water.

Such an environment was unbearable for her, and the uneven ground along the way made her feet hurt.

But at the moment, Zhang Xianxian didn't care about these things.

She was completely attracted by Wang Kang, and it was definitely Wang Kang's actions.

Everywhere I went, some were digging ditches to lay foundations, and some were laying foundations...

Zhang Xianxian has never built a house, but she clearly understands how to do the foundation. This foundation is different from what she knows.

Underneath it was fixed with a gray muddy substance she had never seen before, not the usual sandy soil...

There are also long and thin metal rods similar to iron inserted on the ground.

They were all things she had never seen before, and some of them had never been heard of. Through listening to other people's conversations, she knew that the kind of cement made by mixing with water was called cement.

It is more viscous than sand, and the walls built with it are stronger and more stable, and the thin metal thing is called steel bar...

Occasionally she heard someone say that this steel is a material harder than iron.

How can this be?

And the most unbelievable thing for Zhang Xianxian is Wang Kang, he seems to know everything, he understands every step of building the house here, and even explains it to the construction workers.

Those people are asking him for advice?

How can this be?

"Our house is completely different from what you have built before. You must construct according to the drawings. Ask the foreman if you don't understand anything!"

"Or just ask me."

Wang Kang is explaining to the workers, because what he wants to build is the small second floor of the previous life, which is very common in the previous life.

But here, it is the first time, so the craftsmen don't know much about it.

This is also the purpose of his daily inspections, because some places require him to give guidance in person.

Wang Kang got into the mood and talked on his own, naturally he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Xianxian.

This made Zhang Xianxian even more confused, because even she had never heard of this kind of house.

"Master Kang, Master Kang..."

At this time, a person ran over. He was obviously better dressed than the working people, and he looked like a supervisor or something.

He still had a piece of paper in his hand.

"Master Kang, I don't quite understand this, please explain to me." The man came to Wang Kang's side.

Wang Kang frowned and said, "Foreman Lin, didn't I give you training? As a foreman, you can't understand the pictures, so how can you let the people below work?"

"that……"

Foreman Lin scratched his head, "I was in Yangzhou City before, and I built houses for big landlords in the city, but this is the first time I have seen the blueprint..."

"Where can't you understand?" Wang Kang didn't say much, but asked.

"Here..." Foreman Lin spread out the drawings in his hand and pointed to one of them.

"It's a pillar,"

As Wang Kang said, he led the foreman to the actual place, pointed to a few steel bars and said, "Look here, these steel bars are used as a support, and then sealed to make a rectangular pillar that goes straight to the top."

"Then use it as a support to make a spiral staircase leading to the second floor, understand?"

"Understood, I understand!" Foreman Lin hurriedly nodded and said, "This is the reinforced concrete you built, it's really a great design."

"A stone pillar props up the entire staircase, it's so exquisite!"

Foreman Lin couldn't help admiring, "I have led people to do a lot of work. The most complicated one was to build a mansion for a fifth-rank official, but that was not as good as your design..."

"You designed this?"

Zhang Xianxian, who had been listening all the time, was startled. To be honest, she had been listening just now, but she was also puzzled.

What kind of house is it? It's so complicated that she can't understand it at all when talking.

And it made the foreman so impressed.

Isn't it just an ordinary residence?Does Wang Kang still want to build mansions for his citizens?

Thinking about it, Zhang Xianxian snatched the blueprint from Foreman Lin's hand.

"This girl, you..." Foreman Lin turned around, only to see such a beautiful girl, he was slightly startled, and then wanted to follow Young Master Kang.

Maybe it's Young Master Kang's woman.

Thinking about it, he didn't speak.

At this time, Zhang Xianxian had already picked up the blueprint, and when he looked at it, the first impression was that it was beautiful.

Really beautiful.

The lines are simple and straight, and in her memory, she has never known any brush that can draw such lines.

Naturally, she would not have thought that this was drawn by Wang Kang with charcoal pencils.

Zhang Xianxian was attracted at the first sight. There is no doubt that this is a house structure that she has never seen before.

It was very complicated at first glance, but Zhang Xianxian was smart, so she figured it out quickly.

This is a two-story building, and the entire drawing is marked in detail, how deep the foundation is, how high and wide it is everywhere...even what materials are used, and how much is used.

This... is really a perfect construction drawing.

Zhang Xianxian closed her eyes. She was imagining what this house would look like when it was completed.
