The early end of wasteland reclamation made Zhao Yuan very happy, not only saving a lot of wages, but also having time to build a house before the year.

After settling the completion money for everyone, Zhao Yuan calculated the remaining money on hand, and there were more than 600 copper coins, which was completely enough for the construction of the new home in the future.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, as well as father-in-law and eldest brother, now my land here has been reclaimed, but I want to build a few houses on the land in front of the foot of the mountain, and I still need everyone to stay and help."

After settling the wages for reclamation with everyone, the people from several villages outside Zhaojiazhuang went home, and Zhao Yuan asked Uncle Zhao to gather the people of Zhaojiazhuang and his father-in-law and uncle who had come to help a long time ago, and talked about the next plan.

"Atom, you've spent a lot of money on this wasteland, do you still have money to build a house?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"There is still a little bit left, it should be enough to build a house, and besides, the cost of building a house is not as much as that of clearing the wasteland." Zhao Yuan asked.

"That's not necessarily, what kind of house do you want to build, how big?" Zhao Yuancheng, the second uncle who had done architecture, asked.

"Yes, Yuan Cheng, you have helped other people's families build a lot of houses, and you have helped the atoms to sum up." Uncle Zhao said.

"I want to build a small courtyard of a brick house, I have inquired, we can buy bricks and tiles in the brick kiln in the town, and I also have a way to lime, second uncle, you can help me inquire about how many bricks and tiles are used to build a small courtyard?" Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Everyone knows the brick kiln you mentioned, whoever builds a house in the town uses tiles pulled from there, but the big guys all use yellow mud to build houses, and you are completely built with bricks, I have to ask the foreman who built houses for big families, he must know." Zhao Erbo thought for a while and said.

"Then it's going to be troublesome for the second uncle." Zhao Yuan said respectfully.

"Atom, you don't have anything to do here for the time being, the big guys are all back?" Uncle Zhao saw that Zhao Yuan had nothing to do here for the time being, so he stood up and said.

"There are still some things, but all the uncles and brothers have been out for half a month, why don't you go home first, and then trouble the big guys to help after two days." Zhao Yuan looked at the uncles and brothers with tired faces, they were really not lazy in the past half a month, they had worked hard.

"That's okay, let's go back, let's go back, don't take back the luggage you bring, just take the clothes you want to change back and wash them, let's come back in two days, will you go back?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"I'm not going back first, I have everything here, and I have to take care of everyone's luggage, Uncle Five, can you let the two brothers Bozi and Tiezi stay here to help, I have to contact the building materials." Zhao Yuan said to the fifth uncle.

"Okay, you two boys have to listen to your second brother, don't run away." Zhao Lao Wu nodded and said to the two brothers Zhao Bo and Zhao Xiantie who were standing outside.

"Got it, Dad."

"Alright, let's go." Uncle Zhao saw that he was okay for the time being, and beckoned everyone from Zhaojiazhuang to go home first.

"Second uncle, please ask the foreman to see if he has time to help me build a house." Zhao Yuan, Meng Ying, and Zhao Luo sent everyone to the intersection and said to the second uncle.

"Okay, his home is in Zhulin Village, I'll help you ask first and then go home." The second uncle said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, second uncle, thank you, everyone, go slowly."

…………

After sending off the people from Zhaojiazhuang, Xiaheba suddenly quieted down, and only the father-in-law's family and Zhao Wushu's two sons, Zhao Bo and Zhao Xiantie, were there.

"Atom, are you going to make a home here?" Back in the shed where he was stationed, Meng Mu Su Xiaoyun asked.

"Yes, I'm going to build a house here, and I'll make a home here in the future, it's closer to the town, and it's convenient to do anything." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"This place is good, but it's not popular?" Father Meng said.

"It's okay, we can go to the town when we're fine, and I want to open a small shop in the town in the future and do some business."

"It's good that you have your own ideas, by the way, do you still have the money? Why don't you use the money you gave us last time? Father Meng knew that Zhao Yuan had spent a lot of money on reclaiming this piece of land, and the money for selling mushrooms should have been almost spent, and he was worried that Zhao Yuan and the others would not have the money to build a house.

"Also, some time ago, I made some other things with Wan Yunjun and made a lot of money." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said.

"If you don't have enough money, tell me, and the money will be useless for me." Father Meng nodded and said.

"Father-in-law, you can spend the money however you want, you don't have to keep it for us, I still have a surplus of money to build a house."

"Okay, are you going to the brick kiln in town, I know there, or I'll take you there." The eldest brother Meng Xun on the side said.

"Okay, I have to go and book the bricks and tiles to be used to build the house, otherwise I am afraid that there will be many people who will build the house at the end of the year and I will not be able to buy it."

Zhao Yuan explained to Meng Ying, and then walked with Meng's father and eldest brother towards the town's brick kiln, which was located at the foot of the mountain outside the town, where the soil was rich and red bricks and tiles were fired all year round.

Coming to the brick kiln, Zhao Yuan looked at the specifications of the red bricks, the size of each brick is roughly seven inches long, 3.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, calculated the bricks needed to build the house, asked the price, booked 50,000 red bricks, and bought the tiles needed after the main body of the house was built.

After paying a part of the deposit and discussing with the owner of the brick kiln to transport the bricks over as soon as possible, Zhao Yuan took his father-in-law and eldest brother to the Funing Building in the town.

"Boss Zhao, there are two more, please take a seat." Walking into Funing Building, the shopkeeper Wan Fu asked the guy to serve a pot of tea, and said hello.

"Okay, thank you Shopkeeper Fu for your help in this half month, I came to settle the money for the dishes, so that you have been in the bed for so long." Zhao Yuan arched his hand, sat down at a table with Father Meng and his eldest brother, and said.

"Boss Zhao, are you done?"

"I'm done, so don't I thank the shopkeeper for it."

"What is the relationship between Boss Zhao and our second young master, it is my blessing to be able to help Boss Zhao, by the way, the day before yesterday I went to the county seat to see the second young master, and he asked me to tell Boss Zhao that your soap is about to go on the market."

"Okay, it's only been a little over a month, and it's been made, and the second brother is not slow." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, I went to the workshop, and it was very busy, and thousands of bars of soap were produced every day."

"yes, I'm too busy here, or I really want to check it out!"

"The second young master also told me, if you need any help, just look for him, he may return to the family after a while."

"I really need help with something, I'm going to repair the house in Xiaheba, I need some lime, I want to ask the shopkeeper Fu to contact the second brother, can you help me buy some lime to ship."

"No problem, I'll let the bolt send a letter to the county seat in a while."

"Then thank you, shopkeeper Fu, let's settle the money for the dishes first."

"Okay, then I'm welcome, originally I shouldn't have charged the money for the dish based on the relationship between Boss Zhao and the second young master, but during this time, the second young master took the money from the restaurant to build a workshop, so ......"

"It's all right, a favor is a favor, and a business is a business." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, he has already done himself a lot, how can he still ask Funinglou to help him post money.

…………

After settling the cost of food during this time, Zhao Yuan, Meng's father and uncle returned to Xiaheba, and now the building materials have begun to be prepared, and they should be shipped one after another in the next few days, just waiting for the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang and the foreman who built the house to come, and then they can start to build new houses.
