Chapter 267 Six-entry House
But couldn't the emperor have thought that if a large family lived together, it would be easier to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan if someone made a mistake?
Well, very likely.
Song Chuman turned around and said, "Father, how about we build a bigger one? Let's finish the front first, and then build the back while we live there. That way, our home will be more spacious and our younger brothers and sisters will have more places to play safely."
If you want to build a house, you must build a majestic house.
Let those who look down on them in Qingyu Village know that their family is not the one whose children can be taken away and sacrificed at will.
By then, the housekeeper, guards, and maids will all be indispensable.
It's no wonder she had such thoughts. If there was no one to protect the family, when Sheng Shuwan gave birth to twins again, with Song Hexiu's scholarly strength, if she and her brother were not at home, many people in the village would be able to step on them.
Song Hexiu hesitated. "Ah Man, but this will cost a lot of money. If you build your fishing boat and the house at the same time, I'm worried that we won't have enough money in the future."
Wei He raised his eyebrows. His master said that even a decent family would worry about money?
Was she just putting on an act to impress him? Just to get him to charge less?
I don’t think so. The child in this family is still so young and probably can’t act.
Song Chuman was very confident about her future income and said confidently, "Don't worry, Dad. I can make money while building the house. You just need to read books every day and realize your dreams. I will take care of the rest."
Wei He frowned.
Why does the way this family gets along seem a little weird?
The father studies and the daughter earns money?
Song Hexiu said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Chuman grinned and continued to flip through the pages to look at the design drawings for the fifth or sixth courtyard.
After a while, she pointed to a picture and said, "This one is pretty good. I like the layout."
Wei He watched her choose. Seeing that she chose a six-story courtyard, he said seriously, "A six-story house is indeed nice, but how big do you want it to be? The larger the area, the more spacious the house will be. For ordinary people, a six-story courtyard can cover a maximum of ten acres."
"Don't think ten acres is a big place. Excluding the walls, the lake, and the various gardens, it's not very big either."
Ten acres?
Song Chuman glanced at Song Hexiu.
Song Hexiu smiled and said, "You decide for yourself."
It's all her money anyway.
Song Chuman turned around and said, "Uncle Wei, let's build ten acres of land."
Wei He nodded, and discussed other layouts with them, etc., and finally said: "I am always available to start construction. You should hurry up and buy the land from the government so that I can bring people over."
"I only have twenty people available at the moment. The others are busy with work and can't come over for the time being. The house you're building is large, and you're using a lot of materials, so transporting them is a problem."
"So I hope you can contribute some manpower, at least twenty-five people."
Song Chuman: "That's easy, Uncle Wei, how do you calculate the wages?"
Wei He thought of his master's instructions and said seriously, "When you sign the contract, you will give a portion first. After the main part of the house is built, you will give another portion. Finally, when you move in, you will give the last portion."
"I pay the people I find, and you just pay me directly. You pay the people you find. Generally speaking, the wage is 40 wen a day."
