Chapter 393 Preparing Manpower
As Boss Lin said, he stretched out his hand and twirled his beard.
"If you want to start construction as soon as possible, sister, I can take you to the brick kiln immediately. But if you want to determine the quantity, you have to see the homestead before calculating."
"I heard that your ink master can calculate how many bricks and tiles are needed after seeing the homestead?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Boss Cui nodded.
"This is basically true, but in addition to on-site inspection of the homestead, we also need to know the size and number of rooms of the house built by the owner, and then we can estimate how much bricks and wood to use. Once the quantity is obtained, it will basically not be wrong."
"In this case, the eldest brother of the Cui family will come to my house early tomorrow morning to see the size of the homestead and the construction drawings of my house. If we can estimate the number of bricks and tiles, we can go to the brick and tile kiln to determine the quantity. Save some thought.
"In addition, we also need the prices of wood, beams and other items. I also ask the eldest brother of the Cui family to help me recommend a reputable merchant."
Although this period was backward, it has always been a model for future generations in terms of architecture.
The ancient buildings that have been preserved by later generations are all stunning works. Regarding this, she has never doubted the wisdom of the ancients.
"As for the materials needed to build a house, sister, just rest assured. Xu's Timber Shop in our town has a good reputation and fair prices. Ye Yan
It is said that all the Xu family's wood comes from the mountain forests left by their ancestors. They have been planted and harvested for generations, and reincarnations change. "
Baiyunxi was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "Xu". The grain store was the Xu family's property, but he didn't expect that the Xu family was also involved in the lumber business?
Sure enough, all of their family's properties are related to people's livelihood. One is related to people's stomachs, and the other is related to people's homes. They are all indispensable items.
After the last transaction with Shopkeeper Wang, Bai Yunxi still has great trust in the management of Xu's industry.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi stood up and left,
"In this case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll wait for Brother Cui at home tomorrow. After checking the homestead, we'll come to the town to customize the bricks and wood and try to start the construction as soon as possible."
"Originally, I planned to move into a new house before winter comes, but now the rumors of war are getting worse. If I build it a day earlier, I can move in earlier and give my children peace of mind."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's plan, Boss Cui nodded.
"Young lady has thought carefully, please don't worry, I will take my son there early tomorrow morning to try to start work as soon as possible."
Bai Yunxi walked to the door and stopped again, "By the way, I almost forgot. If construction starts, I would like to ask the eldest brother of the Cui family to take full responsibility for manpower."
Seeing the confusion in Boss Cui's eyes, Bai Yunxi smiled.
"To be honest, I have a lot of land at home and not enough manpower to handle it. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Cui to prepare all the manpower. As for the wages, Brother Cui will draw up a list for me later. Whether it is by labor or by It’s no problem if you pay by the day.”
Listening to Bai Yunxi's request, Boss Cui nodded directly and agreed,
"Don't worry about this. I have been a master painter for decades. There are many people building houses. Whether they are masons or small laborers, they are all paid according to the working hour. Children and old men are not bullied. In addition, due to the impact of the current war, it is also I don’t know when it will end. Everyone wants to make more money. In terms of manpower, there is absolutely no problem.”
"That puts me at ease. See you tomorrow."
"Please walk slowly, see you tomorrow."
