Yang Fan had previously improved the modern Canadian and American wooden house designs to suit the late Ming Dynasty.
There is no shortage of wood in this era. Building a log cabin that is easy to load and unload is a great option.
The logs are dried and then made into various standardized components. Put it in the warehouse. When it is necessary to build a house, the ground is solidified with cement. Then just assemble the wooden villa on top.
Because the wooden components are all standardized, just like building blocks, they can be assembled very quickly. The appearance can be designed according to needs, which is convenient and fast.
This kind of wooden house became the standard configuration of Yang Fan's system. It can be built in a matter of days. Extremely convenient. Now wherever Yang Fan's army is stationed, they will order such houses that are easy to assemble, and many houses have been built in a short period of time.
Even if farmers and workers need to build a house, they can simply buy a piece of land. After it is leveled and hardened, they can directly assemble it with such ready-made components, which is fast and easy to use. It's comfortable to live in. It's easy to move and can be dismantled and transported to another place for reassembly.
If the components there are broken, you can just replace them with new ones. As long as you keep maintaining them, you can keep replacing the components and keep living there.
As a building material, wooden boards have excellent thermal insulation properties. The thermal conductivity of wood is 5 times smaller than aluminum, 10 times smaller than concrete, and 20 times smaller than fiberglass.
This means that at the same thickness, using wooden boards as insulation materials can achieve better insulation effects.
In addition, wooden boards also have good thermal stability.
Wood has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity, which prevents structural deformation and cracking caused by temperature changes. Therefore, when using wooden boards as building insulation materials, the insulation effect and lifespan of the building can be improved, and energy consumption can be reduced.
In later generations, the reason why wooden houses are not seen is that wood is too expensive.
Now, this kind of wooden house has become an industry. There are factories producing this kind of wooden components in Tianjin Beitangkou Industrial Zone, Vladivostok Port, and Jeju Island.
When Yang Fan and others sat in the dog-drawn sledge carriage, they felt no different from sitting in a four-wheeled carriage. This thing is to unload the carriage carriage and put it on the sled.
The dogs ran quickly and steadily. Dogs ran at the front, laughing and sticking out their tongues, grasping the direction. With a large group of dogs behind him, the snow seemed to be smoking as he ran with four hooves spread out.
The splashing snow is blown by the wind like a big smoke cannon.
"Master, master, what kind of dog is this? It's so handsome. I want to keep one." Xiao Niangpi pleaded.
"You played with the rabbits you caught on the grassland last time for a few months and then left them alone. Now you have no choice but to keep them in a cage and feed them. This time you have to raise a dog again, and by then the little animals in your house will be gone. It's full. You can't keep this thing at home. It's very scary." Yang Fan quickly scared the little girl.
"Hey! Master, you are talking nonsense again. This kind of dog looks so docile, and it doesn't bite." Xiao Niangpi said in disbelief.
"Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you. You'll know when you raise it. It's best to let others raise it instead of raising it yourself." Yang Fan was not sensitive to Erha.
Yang Fan used a tin kettle to boil Huadiao wine with shredded ginger on the stove in the carriage. To drive away the cold for everyone. Xiao Niangpi and the others' little hands were red from the cold. They held the cups with their little hands, feeling the temperature of the hot Huadiao ginger wine. Drink in small sips.
"By the way, I forgot to prepare gloves for you. You can't wear gloves here, and your ears can't be exposed. You have to wear a hat or earmuffs. The hood of the down jacket is not tight enough, and your ears will get frostbite in windy weather." Yang Fan said.
"Master, it's so cold here. The breath I exhaled turned into white mist. There was a rattling sound in my nose. Looking at Yueru, her eyelashes are frosted. Giggle." The little girl has no skin. He laughed heartlessly.
Lin Yueru rolled her eyes angrily. He's so cold, but he still wants to joke.
"Actually, you just came back from basking in the sun in the tropics. You are not used to it all of a sudden. You will get used to it in a few days. I will take you to ski, and you can also break the ice and fish. Do you know that here, as long as you carve out an iceberg on the river? When you come to the hole, the fish under the ice will jump out one by one. You can also make ice lanterns, which are beautiful at night." Yang Fan said.
"No, it's so cold. I just want to hide in bed now." Xiao Niangpi said.
Soon, the dogs stopped in front of a wooden villa. This is a wooden villa specially prepared for Yang Fan. Always empty.
Yang Fan came down and took a look and was very satisfied. This is a modern European style large slope roof design. The living room has a two-story ceiling design, with a six-meter-high floor-to-ceiling double-glazed window. You can enjoy the distant mountains and forests from the sofa in the living room.
Because the villa is on a high ground, the other side overlooks the port.
"Oh, this villa is so beautiful." The ladies chirped and expressed their opinions. They have never seen a villa designed in this modern style.
"Master, I don't know if it's cold in such a big living room." Chen Xi asked worriedly. This was her first time experiencing such cold weather.
"There is a fireplace inside. It will be very warm when burning." Yang Fan especially likes Western-style fireplaces, but unfortunately there is no place to burn them. This time you can have some fun with the wood burning fireplace.
When the group entered the villa, Li Huaishu and others left first.
Donkey Dan took two battalions of servants to stay in nearby villas. At the same time, sentries were arranged and barbed wire fences were raised. Surround Yang Fan's wooden house in the middle.
By this time, it was already dark. Candles were lit in the villa, but no lamps were lit in the living room.
Yang Fan placed five sofas around the fireplace. Yang Fan planned to chat around the fire with his wife at night, while warming up the fire and eating some food grilled by the fireplace.
The fire was burning red and very warm. The red light and shadow illuminated the living room red.
Here, through the double-layer floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bright moon and stars in the night sky outside. In the distance are patches of mountains, forests and snowfields.
This kind of lighting without lights, pure fireplace lighting, has a special atmosphere in the dimness. It feels very good. Xiao Niangpi snuggled next to Yang Fan and whispered: "Master, the night here is so beautiful."
"Yes, this was originally a beautiful land, but it's a pity that Ming Dynasty gave it up for too long."
"Sir, how are these new immigrants doing here?" Lin Yueru also came over and said.
"I read the report and found that these immigrants were basically allotted one hundred acres of land each. They took out loans to buy wooden houses, cattle, draft horses and carts. They were even equipped with obsolete nine-shot door guns. They were used to deal with wild animals. Attack."
"They have also cleared up the land. They planted the first autumn grain last year, mainly corn. The latitude here is high, the accumulated temperature is insufficient, and the frost-free period is short, so they can only grow corn. In addition, soybeans and sorghum can also be grown here. This year they They started to raise poultry and pigs again, so life should be quite good. They can't compare to the Ming Dynasty." Yang Fan said.
"Master, this condition is so good, it's like falling into a honey pot. There is no need to pay taxes or do corvee here, and they will become rich very quickly." Chen Xi exclaimed.
"However, this is not a peaceful place. In the past two years, local tribes have attacked many times, with an average of more than ten attacks a year. These people put down their guns and grabbed hoes, and put down their hoes and grabbed their guns. They were attacked by local savages. One or two thousand people were killed."
"However, this year is much better than last year. Because we trade with them, they gradually begin to accept us."
