After finishing planting seedlings, they could finally rest for a while, and the young couple began to be busy building a house.

At the foot of the house, the original plan of the second Ya was to use city wall bricks, but unfortunately it was not for civilian use, so I had to give up and use rough stone instead.

Because of the humid local climate, Erya thought that the house would be built with a basement according to later generations. The basement floor is filled with things, the middle floor is inhabited, and the attic on the upper floor is filled with things that are afraid of moisture, such as grain.

According to Erya's design, at least six feet of stone should be dug underneath and three feet of stone should be laid on the floor of the house. The foot of the wall should be at least three feet above the ground, so that the interior height of the basement is six or seven feet, and the height of the outside is only three feet, all of which are made of stone.

The room in the middle should be eight feet high, and it should be made of blue bricks. In the attic above, the lowest floor height is not less than five feet. The inside of the roof should also be made of wooden planks instead of the bamboo mats commonly used here, and the outside should be made of red tiles.

The basement is made entirely of stone, and the second floor should be made of six-inch thick antiseptic and insect-resistant wood, and the third floor slab should be at least five inches thick of antiseptic and insect-proof wood.

There must also be nine three-zhang high anti-corrosion and insect-proof large trees as the main body support, and three large trees as the beams.

You also have to go to the porcelain kiln, special tiles, porcelain basins, wash basins, squatting toilets, and toilets for washing vegetables and dishes.

It is also necessary to purchase a large amount of glutinous rice for binders.

There is also lime powder, although this thing has been available for a long time, but it has not been widely used, and Erya wants to use both inside and outside the house, so he has to book in advance.

Erya originally thought that it would take a long time to collect all these things.

As a result, Grandpa Tai sued her that as long as she was willing to spend money, there was such a guy in the county to help introduce buyers and sellers!

When Erya was looking for a tooth in the county seat, she bought the property rights of Jiangjun Mountain by the way, because there was not much money, and she only bought the five mountains connected to the north. However, this is much more than the estimated fact that Erya can only buy three hills.

Buying a hill is not like buying a field, you have to measure the land boundary, and then apply for a land deed or something.

At that time, the clerk who was doing the work drew a circle with his finger on the map of the county government, pointing to several mountains above.

He said, "These hills, together with this pothole-ridden place, are all grouped together, and the total is a thousand taels. You don't need to pay taxes every year, but when the county government needs to cut wood, your family must provide it for free. May I? ”

Er Ya nodded straight, and said secretly in her heart: "It's so good!" ”

Originally, I was just going to ask, but I didn't expect that I could buy it so smoothly, Er Ya didn't hesitate, took out the silver ticket he carried with him, and applied for the title deed on the spot. The title deed fell in the name of the dowry.

Erya thought that if she really wanted Anzi and Xiaolong to take the imperial examination in the future, some industries such as industry and commerce could not be placed in the name of the Wang family, but could only fall in the name of the women in the family in the name of dowry.

In the chat, Erya grew another knowledge, and the person tax is implemented here. Men are required to pay taxes when they are fifteen years old, and when they have no money or food to pay, they are compensated by forced labor. One person serves one year of hard labor, which can reduce the tax of three people in the family for three years. If one person serves in the military, he will not have to pay the tax for ten years.

The agricultural tax is based on the output of a little more than one stone per mu, and the tax per mu is between 3 and 4 percent.

Harvests in the southern fields are relatively high. So here, as long as you have two or three acres of land, you will be able to live a good life.

If the family has no land, if they rent the land of a large family, they have to share it with the family, and they have to pay taxes, and the rest often cannot even solve the problem of their own food and clothing.

But even so, in the area of Wangjiazhuang, there are not even large families with land.

First, this place is too remote, and large families are reluctant to buy land here.

Second, there are many small slopes in this place, and the fields are blocked into small pieces, which is difficult to take care of. I bought it, but I had to sell it out. For large families, such a thing that is subject to others will never be done

After leaving the county office, I went to find the Ya Yu who was in charge of all kinds of business and tie-up, and after finding it, he said his request.

Everything else is easy to do, only the porcelain kiln that Erya wants to find has to find it yourself. There is no precedent for this in Yayu, so they don't give introductions, but just talk about the locations of a few private kilns, and let Erya go to talk to someone else.

Erya saw that it was not early, so she was busy going home first, and bought a donkey by the way and rode back.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiaohu waited there with Xiaolong. As soon as Xiaolong saw his sister-in-law coming back, he broke away from his brother's hand and ran to greet his sister-in-law.

Er Ya hurriedly jumped off the donkey, grabbed the donkey and didn't let it move.

Xiaolong ran up and hugged Erya's legs, complaining dissatisfiedly to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law! You didn't take me with you today. ”

The little dragon is getting bigger and more sticky to Erya now, making it inconvenient for Erya to do anything. But this child is very sensitive, and Erya has to think about what he wants to say.

Erya handed the reins of the donkey to Xiaohu, reached out to pick up Xiaolong, and coaxed as he walked: "Oops! Today, my sister-in-law is going to do a big business, sister-in-law, I want to build that big house with my brother that is warm in winter and cool in summer for Xiaolong to live in! Xiaolong has to help his brother and sister-in-law together! ”

Xiaolong happily hugged Erya's head and replied, "Okay! I built a house with my brother and sister-in-law, and built a big house. ”

Erya's eyes were blocked by Xiaolong and he couldn't see the way, so he had to stand there and not move. Xiaohu stretched out his hand and carried Xiaolong to the donkey and sat on it, holding Xiaolong's waist by himself. The little dragon screamed excitedly, and the donkey followed Ang's call.

Hongguo saw the donkey from a distance and ran as fast as he could. Following the donkey, he kept shouting: "Sister-in-law! Did you buy this donkey for me? ”

The second girl was busy talking to the eldest aunt and the second aunt, and before she had time to reply to her, she raised her voice and shouted: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! This donkey is mine, isn't it? ”

Erya didn't hear what the eldest aunt said clearly, so she was so angry that she ran over and "snapped" and slapped Hongguo's buttocks.

He still scolded in his mouth: "If you buy it and use it for everyone in your family, can you just give it to you?" How did you learn to dominate things at such a young age? ”

Hongguo backed up his hands, covering his buttocks, with tears in his eyes. It's not that it's painful, it's that I'm panicking.

Erya also felt that the eldest aunt was a little overdone, so she comforted the red fruit, rubbed the red fruit head, and said with a smile: "This is bought for you, if anyone wants to use it in the future, they have to have your consent!" However, you have to take care of this donkey yourself, and no one else cares! ”

At this moment, Hongguo felt that it was worth the slap, and grinned happily: "Hmm! I feed it soybeans every day! Raise it to be fat. ”

Her mother glared at the side, "You dare! If you dare to spoil all the soybeans, I won't give you food every day. ”

The eldest uncle and the second uncle also came out, looking at and touching the newly bought donkey. Erya was embarrassed and said to the uncle: "Uncle, I don't know if I was slaughtered?" This donkey is more expensive than an ox! ”

The second uncle laughed, and the uncle was busy explaining: "No! The cattle were cheap because the imperial court restricted the price from being higher, so that the peasants would not be able to afford the cattle and delay farming. ”

Erya nodded slowly, "Oh! I see, I always thought that I had suffered a big loss. If it weren't for the late weather and the hurry to come back, I might have gone back to reason with someone. ”

The uncle shook his head with a smile, touched the donkey's teeth again, and praised: "This donkey is a good purchase, just two or three years old." Ming'er, I'll find someone to take a donkey cart, and I can drive the donkey cart to the county seat in the future. ”

Erya expressed suspicion: "Uncle! Our road is so bad, will this donkey cart have to fall apart in three or two clicks? ”

The second uncle answered with a smile: "Niece and daughter-in-law! Be content! On this road, the sixth grandfather often had to pull goods back and forth in order to keep it, so it took a lot of effort to repair it. Otherwise, do you think we still have a road where we can cross the car? In the past, it was all ridge road, and I walked to the town in all directions. Some people's ridges are so narrow that they can't even put a pick, and some people don't let you pass, so they have a lot of thorns to block them. ”

"Ahh And such a thing? Don't you care about the chief and the town? ”

Uncle smiled: "No one says anything about this kind of trivial matter, who will take the initiative to annoy it." Besides, it's a field that people spend money to buy, and they can't help but get it whatever they want! ”

"That's just as well!"

It is said that it is allowed to build roads with city bricks, and after that, if the conditions are ripe, it is good to use city bricks to build roads. Er Ya thought that the development of the Wang family had reached a certain level, and this road must be repaired and widened.

The next day, Er Ya first went to a porcelain kiln on the side of the provincial road, found the kiln owner in charge, and after a period of persuasion, the kiln owner agreed to Er Ya to use his own design drawings to make porcelain in their kiln workshop.

The master said: "This tile, wash basin, and vegetable basin are all easy to make, but the toilet you said also has a return elbow, which is not easy to do." I can only try to do it, and if I can't do it, you can't hold me responsible. ”

Erya also knew that this was a bit difficult, but it was not impossible to do it, so she persuaded with the taste of **: "Master! You have to think about this, if you figure it out, your craft will be a wonder in the future. The silver is like a snowflake rushing straight to your house, you must be careful! ”

The kiln owner looked at Erya a little unconvinced, and asked suspiciously: "Little lady, what is the purpose of asking for these?" ”

Er Ya replied slowly: "Since I spent so much energy to get this, it is of great use, and when I get it done, I will invite you and the master to go over and watch it." When the time comes, you'll know how much market demand I'm going to do today. ”

The kiln owner and the master were all curious, thinking that when the time came, they really wanted to see, what are these for?

She said it was a wash basin, a vegetable washbasin, and a toilet, who was she fooling?! There is such a big hole in the middle, how can it be filled with water to wash hands and vegetables?! That toilet is even more ridiculous, how can you hold urine with such a big hole?

Cut! Take me for a fool!

Erya didn't know what they were thinking, so after negotiating the price with them and paying the deposit, they went to the provincial capital. I took the time to make a few bags and sent them to the boss of the embroidery village, so as not to wait in a hurry.
