The Wei family was originally from Suning, Cangzhou, and it was Wei Bao's grandfather's father's generation who moved to live here because of the labor dispatch of the imperial court.

Now a group of children from deformed households are surnamed Wei, and in the future, there will be more than one family surnamed Wei in Jinshan, but several households, twenty or thirty people, these are all people with local household stickers, and they are different from this group of domestic slaves from outside.

Therefore, at this moment, on behalf of the Wei family, they have officially achieved a political status in Jinshanli.

If the Ming Dynasty is gone, these 'political' positions are a joke, but if the Ming Dynasty is alive, this layer of social structure is like an iron bucket, building the flesh and blood of the entire empire.

Huang Ying doesn't think anything about this change, Wei Dakang understands the stakes, the Wei family is bullied as a small family in Jinshan, the Wei family has had enough for generations, if there are dozens of people surnamed Wei in Jinshan, Wei Dakang doesn't have to keep his voice down all day long, and he doesn't even dare to let go of his voice.

At this moment, Wei Dakang's excited heart was full of enthusiasm, and he silently comforted his parents and the ancestors of the Wei family in his heart, saying that Wei Bao was born in the family, and the Wei family would be different from now on.

Everyone was talking, and they couldn't help but praise Wei Jia and Wei Bao with their thumbs.

Wei Bao didn't take this matter to heart, secretly thinking that his brother was a person who cared about the world, and he didn't really just want to be a small landlord in the countryside.

Wei Bao summoned Liu Chunshi and several carpenters and stonemasons who had experience in building large mansions to discuss the construction of the Wei family's compound and the residence of the newly married slaves.

A 'senior' carpenter squatted on the ground to draw drawings, pointed to a vacant lot next to Wei Bao's house, and said to Wei Bao: "Childe, this piece of terrain is almost the same, how about building it here?" ”

Wei Bao nodded and said: "Yes, just build a house next to my house, build two wooden houses first, the brick and stone house will be too late for a while, and when the masonry house is built, the wooden house can also be retained and not wasted." ”

The carpenter understood what Wei Bao meant, and suggested that the two wooden houses could be kept for miscellaneous items or used as side houses in the future. Draw a rectangle on the ground, the ancient people's building, the direction, layout, have their own model, the Ming Dynasty's construction level, in fact, is quite high! All aspects of the craft have developed to a peak state, the Manchu history suppressed the possession of folk ironware, in fact, many crafts are in regression, until the later powers came to open the state of seclusion, only gradually developed, and gradually Westernized, but that is not the development of traditional Chinese crafts.

The design of the house is even more exquisite, and the things that Wei Bao can think of, these people seem to be able to think of, and even the dark room and the bright cash cabinet where the son stores the silver are planned in.

Wei Bao likes the ancient architectural style very much, listened with great interest, and did not bother, this carpenter means to build a large courtyard house in front and back, the front yard is for the next person to live, plus the hall, for Wei Bao to work and receive guests, the backyard is divided into two halves, half is Wei Bao live, half is Wei Bao's father and mother live, but also contains Wei Bao will marry three wives and four concubines in the future of the various wings and maids and servants live in the room, the arrangement is very thorough. There are too many domestic slaves, so the residence cannot be planned too small, and it is placed next to the Wei family compound.

Wei Bao listened with relish, nodded with a smile, and added: "There should be a septic tank next to my residence, and there should be a place for drawing wells in the front and back yards." ”

Several carpenters and stonemasons think it is very new, the concept of septic tank, in fact, has existed in this era, and large households in large towns have it, which is not a new thing, but what kind of septic tank do you want in the countryside? It's all about making an earthen wall and a thatched roof on it, and that's it, and regularly loading it into a bucket with a shovel, which is all fertilizer.

Especially if you want to dig a well in this northland, it will be a big project! Because in those days, when digging wells, people went down to dig up the soil, and the groundwater in the north was deep, how much did it cost? Digging a well can be more labor-intensive and costly than building a house.

Wei Bao is not unfamiliar with his own 'fertilizer', he has a habit of cleanliness, even if a servant gets his 'fertilizer' away as soon as possible, he is not comfortable, he must have a manure tank and a flushing toilet. Wei Bao is not only to accumulate experience in building houses in the countryside, he also has the opportunity to build high-end houses in the city in the future, a septic tank, and it is not troublesome.

Even if the standard of hotel-style decoration cannot be done in this era, it must be close, and Weibao has high requirements for living and eating.

Wei Bao saw the doubts of the craftsmen and said with a smile: "You just follow the plan I said." As for the well, when the time comes, I will dig it myself! It must save both labor and money. ”

Although Wei Bao is not a science and engineering power, but some scientific and technological knowledge in life is there, and he is also a person who has read books, there are small motors on the warship, there are small accumulators, and when the time comes, as long as you build a few iron handles for digging wells, connect them one by one, you can turn the hole, and then build a round iron pipe to stretch down, a day, or even a morning can be done! The deep well water is also hygienic, much better than the muddy muddy water from the river!

The muddy water has to be placed for about ten minutes to settle the mud, which is nothing, the key is that there are all kinds of plankton in the water. Why did ancient people, even the rich, live shorter than modern people? The main reason is the sanitary and medical conditions.

The river water near the sea here is not clean, let alone the river water near the sea, no matter how clean the river water is, it can't catch up with the deep well water. Even if deep well water is used, Wei Bao still has to install a filter, although in ancient times, but the quality of life must exceed that of modern times! At least not less.

Several people heard Wei Bao say that he must set aside the plan of the well, although he didn't know what Wei Bao would do, but he could only plan according to the instructions of the son, and drew the location of the two wells, a well in the front yard and a well in the back yard.

Wei Dakang, Fan Laopa and Wang Zhihui heard that Wei Bao was planning to build a house, and they all gathered around.

"Xiaobao, building a house is such a big thing, why don't you let your father plan it?" Wei Dakang said unhappily.

Wei Bao smiled: "Come on, what's there to fight about?" These people have all helped big families build houses, and have been carpenters and stonemasons for more than ten years, what do you think, just tell them! ”

Wei Dakang looked at Fan Lao Pimple, the two of them looked at each other, the farmers in this era are all-rounders, everyone knows a little bit of everything, carpenters and stonemasons, they usually do it themselves, but they really meet other people's 'professional', and they still know how many bowls of rice they eat.

Fan Lao Pimple looked at the 'drawings' on the ground and the structural drawings of the wooden house, and kept nodding, "This is very decent, Zhao Lizheng's family didn't make it so decent, don't make a fool of yourself, your little craftsmanship will also build an earthen wall, hehe, let Xiaobao take care of it." ”

Wang Zhihui also nodded and said, "Well, the gate, the hall, the backyard, aren't they all painted well?" Even the vegetable garden was brought out for you. Don't worry about it, just let Xiaobao take care of it. ”

Wei Bao and several craftsmen's heads all skimmed the black line, obviously it's a garden, okay? Wei Bao smiled: "Uncle Wang, this is a garden, who is making a vegetable garden in their own house?" Doesn't it stink? ”

Wei Dakang was particularly interested in the vegetable garden, and immediately said: "Ah, I haven't seen it yet, and even the vegetable garden has been drawn for me?" Well, I just have to grow some vegetables at home, and it's better to get a few more fruit trees. ”

Wei Bao smiled and said to the leading carpenter, "Get it all in!" However, in a hurry to get the house, the construction period is hurrying. ”

"Two big wooden houses, three days at most, we are fine, we have to hold on to the son and the old lady first." The carpenter promised.

Wei Bao nodded with a smile, stood up, and said to Liu Chunshi: "The stables and their residences, you can discuss it yourself." ”

"Well, I think it's just next door to the Wei family's compound, and when the time comes, Luo San and I won't live in the broken thatched house, and we will also come to live with them." Liu Chunshi replied.

"Okay." Wei Bao expressed satisfaction with this arrangement, "But you two will have to set aside a separate room so you don't have to huddle with them." ”

Liu Chunshi snorted, his heart was warm, he didn't expect Wei Bao to think so thoughtfully for himself and Luo Sanzi, and set up another room for the two of them.

Huang Ying, who happened to come over, heard people call her wife, and she smiled happily, Fan Xiaolin's mother and Wang Qiuya's mother all praised Huang Ying's good fortune, and Xiaobao was amazing.

Huang Ying chatted happily with a group of people, she didn't care much about how to get the house, just let Wei Bao be the master.

Wei Bao and the craftsmen arranged to stop, it was already evening, several carpenters and stonemasons rushed to lay the foundation, measure the size, and set up some of the tools to be used by the carpenters and stonemasons, today Liu Chunshi and Fan Datou bought two large carts, these things, they are going to wait for the group of people who went to cut trees to come back, light torches at night, burn bonfires, and work all night.

In fact, this group of displaced people who were brought by Wei Bao from outside the Guan, like a group of children from freak families in Benjia, already regarded Wei Bao as a reborn parent in their hearts, if it weren't for Wei Bao, any of them would die outside Shanhaiguan at any time! But they all have a question, Childe's ability is so big and rich, why does Childe's family still live in a thatched house? Can't even build a wooden hut? It's just that no one dares to ask this doubt, and it is estimated that the house was destroyed during the earthquake.

In fact, if there is no earthquake, the Wei family is also a dilapidated wooden house.

The residents of Benjia, regardless of men, women and children, came to help, and everyone was spontaneous, not only because the Wei family is now the actual head of Benjia, but also because the Wei family has a good humanity and wins the hearts of the people.

The bonfires are warm everywhere, hundreds of people are busy, and the laughter and laughter are combined with the sound of the carpenters planing wood and sawing wood, which is particularly pleasant and lively.

Wei Bao looked at a few craftsmen who were busy measuring the foundation and drawing lines, and was relieved. He finally had time to go home. The hut of his own house, together with the hut of Fan's head house and Wang Qiuya's house, the three small dilapidated houses next to each other, are about to become a big canteen, steaming rice and steamed buns, so fragrant.

"Xiaobao, you came just in time, I'm in charge, everyone will come to eat in the evening, everyone is full!" Huang Ying had already learned the 'details' from Fan Xiaolin, and knew that Wei Bao was now wealthy, so he naturally didn't care about this meal, "One portion, all according to the head, did you bring 23 people?" I just counted it. ”

"That's right, it's 23 people, listen to my mother's arrangement." Wei Bao nodded with a smile: "My mother is really good at being a big steward." ”

Huang Ying smiled: "That Xiaobao, what errand will your mother and your father assign in the future?" The two of us don't have to go to Luo Sanzi and Liu Chunshi to register to work for you, right? ”

"The two of you can just be your lord and lady with peace of mind, don't make a mess." Wei Bao also smiled.

"Yes, Xiaobao has an idea for doing things." Fan Xiaolin took Wei Bao's words very dexterously, but she was afraid of upsetting Huang Ying, so she hurriedly looked at Huang Ying's face after speaking.

Huang Ying nodded on Fan Xiaolin's tender face with her index finger, with a doting expression, "Talking to our little treasure so soon?" ”

Fan Xiaolin saw that Huang Ying loved herself, her heart moved, she called her aunt, and coquettishly put a pair of plump breasts on Huang Ying's arms, and leaned her pink face on Huang Ying's shoulder.

"Hehe, big girl, she hasn't done it yet." Fan Xiaolin's mother saw that Fan Xiaolin and Huang Ying were 'getting along' so well, and her heart was like drinking elixir, which was sweeter than drinking ten jars and eight jars of honey, "Xiaolin and my sister are really close, she is closer than me." ”

After Fan Xiaolin's mother finished speaking, she looked at Wei Bao, and Fan Xiaolin and Huang Ying also set their eyes on Wei Bao at the same time.

"Isn't it? I've always liked Xiao Lin. Huang Ying smiled: "If Xiaolin can come to my house, I will be content." ”

Wei Bao's face turned red, and he immediately understood what Huang Ying meant, did he want to make a pair with Fan Xiaolin again?

I'm only 14 years old now, are you so anxious about my marriage and finding a partner?

Or is the man of Daming happy, when I was in modern times, I was much more than Wei Bao now, why is no one busy helping me find a partner?
