To tell the truth, it's really not that Ning Weimin hasn't seen the world, and it's not that he spouts wild words.

Because as long as you have a certain understanding of the mansion on the deed of Kangshude, I am afraid that anyone will have similar feelings to Ning Weimin.

First of all, the location of the house is not picked.

It is actually located in Weijia Hutong on the west side of Dongsi North Street.

What kind of place is that?

Ning Weimin took out the 1980 version of the map of the capital and found it after comparing it.

It is located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City, which is the absolute downtown area of the capital.

Around this alley, there are not only famous schools, hospitals, banks, government agencies, and commercial areas.

Moreover, it is surrounded by the National Art Museum, Nanluoguxiang, Jingshan Park, Forbidden City, Guozijian, Lama Temple, Prince Gong's Mansion, Houhai, Longfu Temple, Wangfujing, Ritan Park, and Workers' Stadium.

If you start from here, you can go wherever you want.

The farthest is no more than five kilometers, which is very convenient.

And if such a lot is to be put aside for 30 years, the land price is absolutely amazing, at least 150,000 square meters.

It's just that the area of this house is still terrible.

The old man took out the real estate pattern and drew it quite clearly.

What is written on the official seal deed paper is even clearer.

The details are as follows.

"There is an ancestral garden house covering an area of 11 acres and three points, which is located in the West Weijia Hutong of Dongsi North Street. ”

Among them, there are five gatehouses, two account rooms, five mud tire halls, twenty warehouses, and six automobile rooms at the west gate, all of which are north rooms, a total of 38 rooms. ”

The east garden part covers an area of six acres and eight points, including seven courtyards, with houses and attic pavilions, a total of 85 rooms. ”

"There is a three-story theater building in the east, as well as a two-span four-entry courtyard house side by side, with a total of 144 houses. And all the houses, doors and windows are complete, and the upper and lower civil engineering are connected. ”

"Today, with the Chinese Song Xiuwen and Kong Linxiang agreeing, they are willing to sell all this house to Kang Shude's name forever, and the selling price is 78,000 silver dollars. His silver was paid in full on the same day, and there was no shortcoming. ”

"Since the date of sale, if there is a dispute between relatives and other relatives, as well as repeated pawn sales, the seller will bear it. I am afraid that there is no evidence, and the words are proof. September 6, 35th year of the Republic of China. ”

Then there was the signature of the two middlemen and the seller.

There is no doubt that the content of this official deed reveals a lot of curious content.

For example, the time of the transaction, who the Chinese are, and the price of the house, how was it negotiated at that time......

Anyway, there are a lot of details that can be traced and legs.

But the most eye-catching content is undoubtedly the construction area and building regulations of this house.

Eleven acres and three points...... How big is that?

Ning Weimin converted it and was surprised to get a number, which was actually about 7,600 square meters.

Moreover, this house has a theater, a garden, and an automobile room, and the courtyard is still two side by side.

He knew that the "in" of the courtyard was the meridian, which refers to the depth area.

"Span" is the parallel, which refers to the left and right parallels.

The quadrangle with two spans and four entrances, that is to say, the scope of the quadrangle is at least eight courtyards.

Plus seven courtyards in the garden......

Hey, it's really catching up with the palace.

Of course, Prince Gong's Mansion, the largest in the capital, covers an area of 61,000 square meters, and the palace has the highest building regulations.

Thirty years later, the pillars of golden silk nanmu in the temple of light were estimated at 200 million.

The theater is also unique and fully enclosed.

If you want to talk about "Hao" alone, there must be a big gap.

But then again, it's more than enough than the top.

Compared with the mansion of Emperor Guangxu's father, Prince Chun's mansion located on the northern edge of Houhai, it is already about the same.

Because the area of King Chun's Mansion is 8,848 square meters.

And this includes the square, the palace gate, the Yin'an Palace, the side hall and other office areas.

If you really want to talk about the size of the actual house and garden, I am afraid that it will not be as good as this house.

If you compare it with the Shuncheng County Palace, it will already be crushed.

Because the area of the Shuncheng County Palace, which is only 3,000 square meters, Kangshude's mansion is already more than twice as large.

In this way, the value of this house in the future may be as high as billions of yuan.

But is that the end of it?

No, there is a crucial point in this mansion in Weijia Hutong.

It is directly destined for its intrinsic value and artistic value, and to some extent it surpasses the palace.

Even if it's Prince Gong's Mansion, it can't be compared.

This point comes from the professional ability of the owner who built this mansion - the artistic attainments of construction expert Ma Huitang in ancient buildings.

Ma Huitang's real name is Wensheng, the word Huitang, was born around the ninth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1870).

The Ma family is a famous construction family in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the same name as "Style Lei", and has been engaged in the construction of royal construction projects for generations.

He undertook the construction of a large number of royal buildings and princely residences, including the Summer Palace, and presided over the maintenance of many altars, temples and mausoleums.

At that time, the capital was famous, and it had the reputation of "a family of philosophers".

When it was passed on to the twelfth generation of Ma Huitang, the family road was even more prosperous.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it became the first of the "eight cabinets" in the capital (namely Xinglong, Guangfeng, Binxing, Deli, East Tianhe, West Tianhe, Juyuan, and Dexiang).

As for Ma Huitang himself, there is even one of them who wants to make up for the mistakes of his craftsmen.

The wooden carving of the golden silk nanmu sitting is forged into glazed tiles, inlaid in the Beihai Jiulong wall, and the legendary story of passing the test in the acceptance project.

It's not a fiction, but it's a real story.

The golden silk nanmu is located on the lower abdomen of the third dragon on the left side of the Nine Dragons Wall of the Forbidden City, and it still exists today.

In the Republic of China period, although a large number of project payments were owed by the Qing royal family, they could not be recovered.

But the Ma family still relied on the accumulation of their ancestors for generations to become the richest man in the capital, and the rich one.

At that time, Majia Xinglong Wood Factory had been renamed Hengmao Wood Factory, which not only owned more than 1,400 houses, but also operated many other enterprises.

There are hundreds of shops and stalls in Dong'an Market, as well as shares of Tongjitang Pharmacy, Jingcheng Hotel, Kailuan Coal Mine, Jingcheng Hejinmen Tram Company, Qixin Ash Company, and Water Supply Company.

So some people said back then, don't look at the people in the capital, they all know that "the horse Juyuan is on the head, wearing the eight auspicious, the feet are inline, and the waist is wrapped around the four constants".

Don't say anything about the goldfish alley and the Qin Lao alley's Zeng Chong.

As for these people, no one has a Ma family.

The Ma family really wants to use a cart to pull silver dollars, from East Fourth to West Fourth, and can pull them from day to night.

Then think about it, such a rich man is a skilled craftsman who really understands ancient architecture.

Can the garden house built for myself be worse?

In fact, it has to be said that connoisseurs are connoisseurs.

Because according to Kang Shude's introduction, as Ma Huitang himself designed, it took several years of painstaking efforts to use the remnants of the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace to carefully build a pension residence for himself.

This house can be said to be a combination of a large courtyard house and a medium-sized garden, and it is a model of the ingenious combination of ancient architecture art and garden art in China.

In fact, Ma Huitang did not build the appearance of the building too luxuriously.

However, the layout and function are carefully crafted, and the decoration style is also very elegant.

Throughout the whole garden, the layout is generous but not rigid, the house is simple but not simple, the mountains and rocks stand up but not cumbersome, the lotus pond is beautiful and not pretentious, it is indeed worthy of the handwriting of famous craftsmen, and it can be called an outstanding representative of the private garden in the capital during the Republic of China.

On the other hand, the garden of Prince Gong's Mansion is large, but it deliberately emphasizes symmetry, rigidity and even rigidity.

Because even the piled up lake stones have to echo and are equal.

So much so that the garden is too pretentious, loses its natural spirituality, and instead falls into inferiority.

At the same time, Ma Huitang himself also pays attention to enjoyment.

His mansion has adopted many advanced living facilities, and has the advanced nature of combining Chinese and Western styles.

At the beginning of construction, running water, flush toilets, electric lights, ceiling fans and mosaics were already used.

There was even a special billiard room built on the rockery.

This was also a remarkable thing at the time.

Therefore, after the construction of this mansion was completed, many political dignitaries visited, and the garden was lent many times for wedding ceremonies.

Due to the continuous flow of visitors who come to enjoy the garden view, there is an increasing number of visitors.

Therefore, this mansion became more and more famous at that time, and was called the Ma Family Garden by celebrities in the society.

Its architectural level and artistic value, in the category of private gardens in Beijing, can be completely compared with the half-acre garden of Wanyan's family and the garden of Goldfish Alley.

Today, the half-acre garden and that garden have been submerged in the dust of history and no longer exist.

This garden is the only one that remains to be built for himself by the builder.

If you look at it from this point of view, nature is even more precious, and there is no doubt that it is an extremely precious cultural heritage.

So how do you argue about the price? What is the value of it?
