I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 310 Rows of heated brick beds

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.

Breakfast time ended quickly.

After eating the hot food, the chill that had lingered from last night into the morning was swept away.

Following the orders of Li Mosi and his companions, the civilians and prisoners began unloading the supplies from the wagons.

Ziyi and Zian first found a cart maker and a groom, and then called their disciple to their side.

Once the oxcart at the bottom of the slope was completely unloaded, they threw all the chipped ironware they had collected the day before onto the cart.

Li Mosi then handed another wooden box to his two disciples.

"These are all educational items; please take good care of them."

Zi'an opened it and took a look, and Zi Yi also peeked inside.

Besides various teaching materials, there were also many unopened sheets of Xuan paper and brand-new ink blocks inside.

These were all just taken out by Li Mosi.

After a brief explanation, Ziyi and Zian led their men back to the manor.

"Let's go."

At Zi Yi's command, the coachman cracked his whip.

ga-

The oxcart rolled over the dead branches on the ground and slowly drove back the way it came.

Ziyi and Zian's group gradually disappeared down the slope.

The remaining people in the tribe were quickly divided into three teams.

The slaves, the vast majority of the subjects, and half of the tribe were counted as one group to collect clay.

Led by the goblin, they went directly to the east side of the tribal mountain, descended along the hemp ropes they had tied beforehand, and went to the river to dig clay.

The remaining people were all cartwrights and grooms, plus the goblin overseers led by the old one-eyed man; they formed one team.

This team was responsible for leading the convoy down the mountain from the main road on the west side of the tribe to transport the clay back.

Aside from the slightly more complex personnel composition, the team structure was actually no different from the one they used to collect stones.

"Hurry up and go."

"Don't waste your time..."

Watching the convoy depart under Old One-Eyed's urging, Li Mosi turned back to look.

Only he, Hagi, the remaining half of the tribe, and the craftsmen remained in the tribe.

He waved to the craftsmen.

"Come here first, let me tell you about the construction plan."

Before the craftsmen started making the wooden rulers as required, Li Mosi called them to the edge of the foundation pit.

The craftsmen quickly gathered together.

Li Mosi reached out and pointed to a pit about half a meter deep nearby.

"Let's start by talking about how to build the basement of the house."

Several carpenters and stonemasons stepped forward and peered into the pit.

"The bottom of the pit needs to be lined with a layer of split semi-circular logs, with the flat side facing down. You've all seen those logs today."

"Um."

"I saw it..."

The craftsmen nodded in agreement, and Li Mosi continued talking.

"After laying the foundation, fill it with soil layer by layer. After each layer, use the tools you just saw to compact the soil before adding the next layer. The ground must be hard enough."

A group of carpenters and house builders from Stern all nodded.

"Sir, we understand."

The house builder spoke with a smile.

"That's how the Stern family's main house is built underground."

"Yes……"

"Valos's main residence is the same..."

Several carpenters who came out of the knight's manor chimed in.

As they echoed his sentiments, the house builder glanced at the rows and circles of foundation pits around him and spoke hesitantly.

"Master...do all these pits need to be laid like this?"

How big of a house do they want to build?

Is there still enough time left?

If you only do part of it, you don't even need to dig a pit for the rest.

Because when the snow melts next year, it will definitely have to be dug up and redone.

"I want them all."

Li Mosi nodded, ignoring the craftsman's doubts, and continued speaking.

"After the foundation is laid, the walls will be built."

He turned and glanced at the group of carpenters and stonemasons.

"We don't use the kind of walls that are made of branches and plastered with mud like in the manor; we don't have that much time now."

The biggest advantage of using branches to weave wall ribs is that it's cheap; branches are readily available, and the time of the people is not valuable on a daily basis.

But what he lacks most right now is time.

"We'll still use soil compaction. You've all seen the tools for soil compaction. I'll show you how to use them during construction."

Li Mosi opened her arms horizontally, gesturing to indicate thickness.

"We'll use compacted earth for the foundation of the walls, replacing the walls in the manor. On the outside of the rammed earth, we'll build another layer using the stone bricks we brought over. Finally, we'll cover the walls with a thick layer of clay."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.

I don't know if it's because the temperature has dropped to a certain level.

The sunlight doesn't seem as strong today.

"Winter is just around the corner, so the walls need to be thick enough."

The craftsmen listened and nodded, their expressions becoming serious.

Under the guidance of their late teacher and two elders, they suddenly acquired a sturdy house this year, something they had never dared to dream of before.

The walls here must be thick enough too!

"The roof will be built using the remaining half-circles of timber."

One step, two steps, three steps.

After taking a few steps along the edge of the foundation pit, Li Mosi looked at the craftsmen again.

"But it's different here. Apart from that big pit to the north, the other houses don't need to be too big. Just enough space inside, about three steps long and wide, is enough."

The craftsmen were stunned.

Three steps?

What else can you do inside besides sleep?

It must be difficult for you to even turn around.

Unless it's for children, or goblins...

That's right!

This place is almost entirely filled with goblins!

The remaining people were roughly the same size as goblins!

Seeing that the craftsmen's confusion had turned into sudden understanding, Li Mosi continued to speak.

"The roof won't need to be built too high, which will save some work. But the most important thing is this."

He pulled out the blueprints drawn before the city was built from his pocket.

"Each room must have a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed). But this time, we can't light a fire in each room like we do in the manor."

Although these drawings can no longer be used in their entirety.

However, the layout of the house and the heated brick bed are still usable.

He looked up at Steckerling, who was at the front of the crowd.

"Steklin".

"Yes, sir."

The stonemasons at Vallos Manor quickly stepped forward.

"I want to use a kitchen stove to connect all the heated brick beds in a row of houses through a passageway. Once the stove is lit, the heat will flow through the passageway under the heated brick beds in each room."

Li Mosi looked at him.

"Do you understand?"

Stecklin stared at the connected lines on the ground, mentally replaying the process of building the heated brick bed in the manor.

It's basically just extending the flue so that it runs through several rooms.

He looked up and touched the stubble on his chin.

"I can do it, sir."

Stecklin pondered for a moment.

"But this passage needs to be completely sealed with stone bricks, otherwise the smoke will choke people to death. In that case..."

He looked at Li Mosi.

"I need more bricks."

Li Mosi nodded.

"Sure. If we don't have enough bricks, we'll go to the manor and get some more. You guys decide on the dimensions and layout of the passageway."
