Chapter 74

"Dare to ask Mr. Ling, what is this?"

One of them repeatedly looked at the drawings, pointed to the gap between the walls of the main house and asked in doubt. He had built a house all his life, and he had never seen such double-layer construction.

Ling Jingxuan narrowed his eyes and glanced faintly: "this is my own heating plan. The walls and walls are all built into a double hollow, connecting the kitchen and the Kang. When they are used, the heat will be transmitted to each room through the hollow wall interlayer. Each kitchen has a movable board at the input port. In summer, the board is put down to block the heat The transmission of hot gas. "

In this era, without heating, it is not enough to rely on the Kang for heating. They can't stay in bed in winter, can they? Although you can also burn charcoal for heating, no matter what kind of charcoal it is, there will always be smoke. If you inhale it for a long time, it is not good for your health. So after thinking about it, he came up with such a method. It is a little similar to the heating system in northern China in the 21st century, but it is much simpler. After all, the conditions here are too limited.

"Is this a cottage? What is this? "

Another person also pointed to one of the things that he couldn't understand. Ling Jingxuan explained patiently: "toilet, that needs to be made by a special stonemason. What you have to do is to help me make this set of water scheme."

With that, Ling Jingxuan stretched out his finger and pointed out a carefully marked toilet sewer map. There was no sewer in ancient buildings. Yexiang was usually poured by a special person. It was fine in winter, but it tasted great in summer. After careful thinking about it, he combined with what he knew before and made a simple sewage plan. It was really simple. Every toilet has its own characteristics With a squat pit and toilet, the lower part is designed as a slope, and the outside is a septic tank. A small reservoir is built inside, which can be flushed with water every time you enter the toilet. Although it is not a brilliant transformation plan, at least you don't need to pour the toilet every day?

"It's a new and convenient idea. If Mr. Ling is trustworthy, I'd like to have a try."

The man who asked the question before clasped his hands. The first one said that he was willing to take the job. The other four people took a look at me and I'll see you. They followed suit one after another. Although in terms of the drawings, Ling Jingxuan's requirements for the main house were very detailed, but they also wanted to try Xinying's things. Moreover, after such a big business, the income was very considerable.

"You don't have to worry. Listen to me first. Because I'm in a hurry to live in the house. If you just hire one of you, it won't be finished in three or two months. So I'd like to ask you to cooperate. Each of you will be responsible for a part of the project. The main house is rather complicated. It can be started by two groups of people, paving the road and returning to the backyard A team of people are responsible for the gallery workshop. Finally, a team of people is needed to be responsible for all the courtyard walls. From left to right, a two meter high courtyard wall should be built outside all the land, and the top should be capped with broken tiles to prevent the gangsters from climbing into the wall. What do you think? "

Lifting his hand and interrupting them, Ling Jingxuan's eyes swept one after another, slowly speaking out his own ideas. The house covers an area of about 1000 square meters. The rest of the house is planned to be built into workshops, orchards and ponds. The ponds are planned to be excavated by the workers who open up wasteland tomorrow. The orchard is left empty for the time being. Later, he will fill in the garden little by little. The factory building must be built first, and then it will be basically completed I made jam there. At present, the most important thing is the general framework. If there are five teams of people, it will not take a month to finish it?

"More than 200 mu of land are all surrounded by courtyard walls?"

Hearing this, the party couldn't help but look silly. They thought that the area occupied by them was more than ten mu, but they didn't expect that?? Who is he? What happened in Datong town?

"Well, how many people might take over?" Obviously unwilling to explain more, Ling Jingxuan asked in a deep voice that all he wanted was the result.

"No problem, but we have to make a field survey. When is it convenient for Mr. Ling?"

Several people took a look at each other. Sun Peng, who had previously reported to his family, asked that only after conducting on-site investigation could they work out a specific construction scheme and give an approximate time for completion.

"As a matter of fact, I have hired people to open up the wasteland tomorrow, so I hope that the construction team for the construction of the courtyard wall will enter the site at the latest the day after tomorrow, and I will be ready for the necessary green bricks and tiles. As for other projects, it's better to start as soon as possible. As I said before, I'm in a hurry to live in the house. You can send more people. I've reserved a total of 500 Liang silver, if you can If it is completed in one month, I will add another hundred Liang. As for the materials, my brother Ling Jingpeng will be responsible for purchasing them. Just tell him what you need. "

This price is undoubtedly very considerable. Six hundred taels a month, and there are more than one hundred taels in each of their five teams. Apart from the wages of the undertakers, it is not a problem to make as much as ten Liang. All five of them showed surprise and nodded their heads one after another. Ling Jingxuan said with a satisfied smile: "well, I'll bother you to go to Lingjia village to investigate tomorrow. I'll give you this hundred taels of silver Deposit, I'll give you another two hundred taels when the house is half built, and the rest will be settled when it is completed. Do you have any objection? "

When he pushed a hundred taels of silver in front of them, Ling Jingxuan had not yet reached the point where he could work hard. In fact, he not only had a good salary, but also planned to manage a meal for the workers at noon every day. That's why he had bought so much food. Only when the workers had enough food, could they have the strength to help him work, didn't he? He didn't spend much money on it."OK, young master Ling is very happy at first sight. We have nothing to say. After surveying the land tomorrow, our construction team will come in one after another. Please rest assured."

On behalf of all the people, Sun Peng patted his chest bravely, and others nodded at the same time.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye!"

After seeing them off, Ling Jingpeng, who had been stupefied for a long time, exclaimed: "brother, how did you build such a big house? When was this drawing made? "

God knows how shocked he was when he saw the drawings, not only because of the unique and beautiful buildings on the drawings, but also because of his huge planning. Originally, he thought that at most, he would build a courtyard, dig a pond, and all the others would plant fruit trees?? Only the salary is 500 Liang silver. How much does it cost to build the whole house?

No, I can't think about it. I think about it. At this moment, he can finally understand the feeling of a mean little nephew. His eldest brother is really not a person who can live a life. How can anyone just make money and spend so much money? No wonder Xiaowen always says "ha ha The house has great advantages. In the future, you and Jinghan will marry a daughter-in-law. If you marry a daughter-in-law, you will not have children? When a child is old, he must sleep alone. I'm afraid it will not be enough. Besides, except for the main house, all the others are servants' rooms, warehouses and workshops. Although it seems useless at present, you will know next year that those houses are indispensable. "

Ling Jingxuan smiles and naturally takes over the tea cup Yan Shengrui handed him. Does he think he said that buying half salt land is just planting? There are many follow-up plans. At this time next year, they may be rich and rich. He can also become a landlord in ancient times.

"Brother Jingpeng, your elder brother is not an ordinary person. You may be right to listen to him, but brother Ling, is it too monotonous for you to build an ambulatory on an empty pond?"

It's not that he doesn't shock Ling Jingxuan's idea of building a house, but shopkeeper Zhang's acceptance is much higher than that of Ling Jingxuan. After he reaches out and pats Ling Jingpeng on the shoulder, he can't help looking at Ling Jingxuan. From the drawing, the cloister should be more than a passage. The octagonal pavilion in the middle is the best proof. But he has already said that the fish in the pond should be sold for money What's the use of raising Koi and other fish species and building a pavilion to enjoy the cool and see the scenery?

"Ha ha I just want to trouble my brother. I want to plant all fruit trees around the pond, and duck sheds will be built behind the pond to raise hundreds of ducks. As for the pond, in addition to fish, I will also plant lotus root. When the lotus opens, isn't it the best scenery? As for fish fry and lotus root, I have to ask you for help. "

As if he had expected this question for a long time, Ling Jingxuan said calmly with a smile that lotus flowers can be appreciated, lotus pods and lotus roots can be eaten. If they can't finish eating, they can sell them. How much is an income? How about the pond with five acres of land? Should he make enough money to pay for the buns? hey?? Since he has spent so much money to build the manor, he has to find a way to earn from it, doesn't he? Or his little buns won't die of him?

"Ha ha?? You know, you can only transport the fish from far away. I'm afraid the survival rate will be lower. "

As soon as he said that, manager Zhang was dignified. He was really worried about him. Ling Jingxuan could not help smiling. After a while, he raised his head and said, "it's OK. Manager Zhang will try to inquire for me. If it's not possible, I'll try to collect fish in some nearby towns tomorrow. Next year, the fish pond will be full of fish, and there will be no fish seeds."

He has Crescent Moon Spring in his hand. Is he afraid that no fish will run into the fish pond? When diverting water, the crescent moon spring is directly put into the fish pond. It is estimated that the fish will have to run in groups. Of course, this is a forced practice. If possible, he does not want to arouse suspicion. Although others can't see the crescent spring, they can see the fish. They are not afraid of ten thousand. In case they can keep a low profile, he still hopes to keep a low profile.

"Well, it's also a way, though it's a little more troublesome and takes a little longer."

Manager Zhang has no choice but to nod his approval. After all, he is only a shopkeeper. He may still have some weight in Datong town. Once he leaves the scope of Datong Town, he can't help him.

"Nothing can be done overnight. We will wake up step by step. Brother Zhang, it's really troublesome today. Our children are still waiting. We have to go back first."

With that, Ling Jingxuan nods with Yan Shengrui, and Ling Jingpeng stands up one after another.

"Well? Eat something and go back. I'll ask the kitchen to make some famous dishes and bring them over. "

Then he stood up, and manager Zhang warmly asked him to stay. He was optimistic about Ling Jingxuan alone. In several contacts, he had already regarded him as a close friend.

"Next time, to be honest, a lot of troubles have happened at home these days, and I'm not at ease when my parents and children are at home."

"Yes, I'll ask someone to pack you some snacks and bring them back. I think it's my uncle who can give the children some snacks.""Thank you very much, brother Zhang."

Since it was food for the children, Ling Jingxuan had no reason to refuse. It was almost a quarter of an hour after they left Xinyuan restaurant. The carriage drove out of the town all the way, and the three people in the car joked and laughed from time to time. They seemed to have more confidence in the future, but they never dreamed that they would see such a scene when they returned home Scenery.
