Pillars of the Wu family

Influenced by the bricklayers of the Ming Dynasty, he saw Sanhe clay on the construction site in Xinding, which was the best building material before the cement age. The method turned out to be a composite material made by mixing brown sugar, glutinous rice, and loess and ramming it many times.

This made him very incomprehensible. Brown sugar and glutinous rice are very expensive things. They were originally used as high-end tonics and food. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money to mix them with soil to make compound soil? The townspeople recruited bricklayers from the Ming Dynasty and asked, "Is that what you do with compound soil? Brown sugar and glutinous rice are grains, are they used to make earthen walls?"

The bricklayer said as a matter of course: "Yes! I know they are food, but they must be used to build a wall, otherwise the wall is not strong enough to bear the load, and it will collapse when it is washed by a heavy rain, even if it does not collapse It will also be deformed, and a house built of bricks and stones will not be able to withstand the erosion of wind and rain if it is not coated with concrete, and it will collapse in a few years."

"I understand! Then I will show you how to make another new type of Sanhe clay!" Kira Yoshihito ignored the bricklayer's expression as if he was looking crazy, and called Ina Tadashi's family to order: "My family will To promote a new type of building material, organize your staff to prepare."

Kira Yoshishi vigorously promoted the new type of Sanhe soil, which is completely different from the traditional crafts of the Ming Dynasty. The composition of the new type of Sanhe soil is not complicated, that is, one part of soil, three parts of slaked lime, and six parts of sand are mixed together and hammered. Good engineering materials for roads and buildings, this is the real ratio of the three-component soil that he knows.

In the past, he didn’t understand why the Japanese didn’t pay much attention to this kind of building materials. Instead, they still used the simplest civil structures to build earthen and wooden houses. The more advanced ones had thatched houses. It can only be seen in the first-class places like Ding, and all this will start to change from his hands.

Under his vigorous promotion, the roads in Sakamoto Castle Town began to be remodeled first, all paved with mixed and rammed Sanhe soil, and then repeatedly rammed with giant logs and stone rollers. During this period, the roads were blocked and no traffic was allowed. After half a month It can be used to dry in the sun. This kind of road is hard and stable and is not afraid of wind and rain. It can also avoid the embarrassing situation that the castle town becomes a muddy ground when it rains.

The same method is used before building the house, first laying three-layer soil on the ground can effectively prevent the house from mildew due to the upwelling of moisture in the ground, and then use the traditional Japanese wooden house construction technology to raise the house by one foot to extend the life of the house Longer, the outer wall of the roof is also laid with bamboo strips and wooden strips between two layers of wooden boards, and then filled with compound soil, and finally tapped slowly with a wooden hammer to dry in the shade, then fill and continue to tap, repeat several times until it is completely dry Then cover the board to seal.

In Sakamoto Castle during the period of Kira Yoshishi, the stone walls were also reinforced with Sanhe soil, and the castle towers, small castle towers, and Shiyashiki were also remodeled in this way. The Kira family personally demonstrated and vigorously built roads, and soon the application of Sanhe soil was used by everyone. People accepted it, and Kira Yoshitoki instructed Matsui Yusuke to set up Sanheya in Kyoto and Sakamoto Castle respectively. The managers of the two merchant houses were the merchant apprentices trained over the past year.

The original intention of Sanheya was to undertake civil engineering and construction business. At the same time, it cooperated with Miki and Ema in Hida to manage Hida wood materials. He builds houses for temples and shrines in various parts of Kinai, and also accepts business orders such as road construction.

To this end, he found the leaders of Anata and Hidako. The leader of Anatashu was named Kihei Awata, and the leader of Hidako was his acquaintance Shiotaya Chubei. The two knelt honestly outside the corridor of Honmaru. Yoshitoki Kira sat on the porch without saying a word, and Tokiji Yamaoka next to him said, "Master the owner of the museum, I promise you that one party will be divided into half and half of the contract, and all business income earners will get [-]% of the profits and wages. If you disobey my Kira family, this bond will be automatically deprived, do you understand?"

"Is this... an extra reward from His Highness Sakamoto?" Kihei Awata said tremblingly.

"You can think so! Is there any doubt? If not, just sign the application!"

"Yes!" The two looked at each other and signed the invitation honestly.

Yoshihiro Kira sat on the porch and drank a cup of tea slowly, and then said to the two foremen: "Very good! I will entrust the business of Sanhewu to you two!"

"I will follow His Highness Sakamoto's order!" The two bowed and stepped back slowly.

After a not thrilling struggle, the merchants in Sakamoto were completely wiped out, and the unlucky merchants in Kyoto were also seriously injured. The latter was richer and smarter than the former. Even so, they paid more than [-] yuan for it. In the final analysis, the reason why Sakamoto’s dealers are so crazy is because of his Le Shi Ling. It only took a few months to drive them into a desperate madness, and finally became a praying mantis in front of the cart. was crushed mercilessly.

Of course, some people were hit and others benefited. For example, the money house that was supported by Kira Yoshishi, and now the Sanhe House, and the Pipa House that was built at the same time as the Sanhe House are all beneficiaries. Their support in Kiragi Next, replace the traditional merchants in Sakamoto City to become the business leaders of Sakamoto business district.

The Piwa House is a plan that he has already started to operate before he started to prepare the Sanhe House, in order to attract the bows of the boats walking on the Yodo River. These people are different from the Yodo River people who have armed forces. They only run transportation and trade on the river. People, not aggressive, of course, the number is larger. In addition to collecting protection fees, the Yodogawa people will also run around and collect a toll when they are free. They can only be called the Yodogawa people in a narrow sense. At that time, I put my mind on the Yodo River in a broad sense.

As long as he monopolizes all the water transportation on the Yodo River, even Miyoshi Changqing can't stop him from extending his tentacles to Sakamoto. The head office of Biwaya is set up in Sakamoto, but the second store is directly established in Sakamoto. The three companies were only established in Kyoto. This was a new plan that started at the same time when Tsuda Zonghe sent the silver in late March.

The so-called Biwaya is a large-scale comprehensive commercial house, but it is different from ordinary comprehensive commercial houses. Behind him stands Kira Yoshitoki, the two counties of Kita Omi, the entire Biwa Lake and the Yodogawa River Basin, so the items he sells The variety of varieties even exceeds that of some well-known commercial houses.

"According to the business information of more than a month, the Naya people in Sakai-machi were really shocked, because the actions of the owner in the past two months have already scared them!" Koshiro Hattori was responsible for reporting the information on behalf of his father. A father who is elusive and who doesn't know where he ran to cats.

"Hehe, are you scared?" Yoshitoki Kira smiled slightly. He only showed his skills in Sakamoto in March, and when he returned to Sakamoto, he turned the world upside down in Sakamoto, Kyoto. Now he has quietly established a super company , How can such wrists and powerful influence not shock them.
