It doesn't matter what the era. Building a house is a big deal.

In a way, an ancient house is more difficult to build than a modern one, or it is a big deal to buy a house than a modern one.

What do these ordinary people have to do at this time to make a big house?

First of all, you have to be rich! This is the same as when you ask for money to buy a house, you also need money to build a house, and secondly, you have to have land!

The title deed has to be in hand, of course, if you find a piece of land that you don't know where to build a thatched house, no one will care about you, after all, there are some places they won't manage, such as some land that can't grow seeds, those red earth and some mountains, which can let you build a thatched house at will, after all, many places are not a place where seeds can be planted, and there are many such places.

There are many around Donglin Port.

Li Hang even started the idea of these places.

You must know that a lot of the surroundings of this Donglin port are red soil, even if it is backed by a canal, it is difficult to complete such a thing as washing the soil.

Not to mention, there are not many people engaged in planting in this place, after all, even if the soil is washed away with a lot of water, it will also take away a lot of nutrients, and the yield of this kind of land is simply pitiful compared to those fertile land.

But if you build a home, this kind of red soil is very good, after all, it is difficult to turn this red soil into arable land, and it is very difficult to plant anything, not to mention that this is still the north, and unlike the south, you can also grow some tea trees, the red soil in the north is basically useless, of course, the red soil in the north is relatively less.

The piece of land that Li Hang fancied was large enough to build a large bungalow of more than 300 square meters!

That's right! It's a bungalow, and in these days you don't have to be royal, and if you want to build two or three floors, you can only use wood or bamboo planks.

If you use wood, the price is probably maddening.

In this year, the keel of shipbuilding will be dried for several years, and the beams of a big house will also be dried outside for several years.

Why?

Relieves internal stresses so that they do not bend and deform for years after installation.

To put it bluntly, the wood used to build a house is very expensive! It's so expensive that you can smash all the income of ordinary people for a year or two.

But more importantly, there is no land.

When he returned home, Hao Jun's kid squatted at the door excitedly, and as soon as he saw himself, the little fat man ran back quickly. "The master is back!"

Then the little fat man ran in with a crawl and roll, and the appearance of shouting and screaming was simply embarrassing to the extreme.

When Li Hang returned home, he knew why these boys were so excited. Nima! Bear child!

A bunch of boys were cooking at home, all of which were frying, and the flour was sprinkled a lot.

"Pack up!"

Li Hang sighed, they are all the age of bear children, and excessive restraint will not have any effect.

was tired to death, and after going back, Li Hang hugged Zhou Yurong and fell asleep.

After resting for three days, Li Hang was almost completely soft at home, of course, his "rest" was only to draw the design of his future home during the break.

Li Hang has taken a fancy to the nearby territory, especially some red soil with a surface base of about 300 square meters.

Basically, none of these fields are farmed, and these fields can be used for house construction.

And these places are basically not far from Donglin Port.

If it can be built, I am afraid it can be made into a good manor.

However, Li Hang did not design according to the Suzhou gardens in the south, but referred to the setting of castles similar to foreign ones.

In the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, there are some arrow towers or watchtowers that resemble castles.

Of course, this is the role of special times, and if it is a normal day, these things can be turned into other things. For example, some places to dry clothes, and you can also use this place to make some small storage rooms, and even places that can be used to make some smoked bacon, but once something really happens, these places can immediately become a real bunker building.

After all, there are many kinds of raids in the north, not to mention those so-called nomads, just what kind of loud horse bandits, this era has never been stable.

After all, the Great Win Dynasty was founded, and many places are not so stable.

So no matter what you say, this still needs to be well planned.

After drawing this drawing, Li Hang took Wang Dali to find the shopkeeper Su.

However, when he arrived at the Su family trading house, the former prosperous Su family trading house was a little lifeless, and even the young man on the side was a little weak and drooping his head.

"Li Xiucai?" After Shopkeeper Su saw Li Hang, his eyes immediately lit up, and at this time, Li Hang came to the door, maybe he could really solve his current predicament.

"Shopkeeper Su, I wonder if some of the red land around here can be sold to me a little? The land deeds around here are all in the hands of your Su family! Li Hang also wanted to ask the price this time, he had almost fifty taels in his hand, and now he has the qualifications to buy land, as for what timber and building a house, the money in his hand should be about the same.

As long as you can buy the land.

In ancient times, this kind of thing was to buy a land deed, and the land deed in this vicinity was in the hands of the Su family.

"Hey! Li Xiucai, if you came two days earlier, the old man could still call the shots, but this time the old man really can't be the master, the old man was originally assigned by the Su family to check the account, and now this account has just been checked, and there is this smuggling of smuggled salt, the old man has received a letter from the Su family today, the old lady will let people come over to take the old man's place, I'm afraid it won't be long before the old lady will come over in person! ”

The old lady wants to come in person?

Li Hang frowned, at this time, the old lady will come over in person, does this mean that this matter will affect the foundation of the Su family.

But Li Hang is very curious, is this private salt really so serious?

Although he understands that the salt and iron in ancient times were all government-run, and this thing is not allowed to be private, but the smuggling is not the initiative of their Su family, and the Su family is so big, how can it affect so much?

How serious is the matter of private salt this time?

Li Hang frowned, although this canal is very big, but it is also very long, if they want to come over at this time, it will take more than ten days, and at this time he has been notified of the change, which is obviously because they are under too much pressure.

Li Hang nodded and shook his head helplessly, although Shopkeeper Su had an offer, saying that he could only buy the nearest piece of red land for thirty yuan, but now he can't be the master, and he has no choice.
