Wu Shaogang's home, this day is particularly lively.

The one hundred and fifty craftsmen who came from the capital city of Luzhou all arrived, the closest relatives of the Wu family also came, and more than 200 people who fought were also concentrated.

There were more than 400 people.

Wu Qiming, Wu Shaozun and others have never seen so many people, and they are all a little afraid.

However, Wu Shaozun didn't have a chance to retreat, because the thing that his brother Wu Shaogang arranged for him was to entertain guests, that is to say, at the age of twelve, he had to be responsible for greeting all the guests who came to the house, as for Wu Qiming, he was responsible for the things in the kitchen, because there were too many people, and it was impossible to make so many dishes just by relying on the kitchen at home, so Zhang Binghui and others contacted the wine shop in the town, and a large number of wine and dishes were sent in a steady stream.

Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao were also busy, and they regarded greeting guests as their own business.

Wu Qirong's son, Wu Shaowu, also took leave to rush back, and was able to find so many craftsmen, Wu Shao's martial arts were indispensable.

Wu Shaowu saw the holy decree that Wu Shaogang had put away, including the edict of the Privy Council, these things made Wu Shaowu, who had seen the world, extremely surprised, of course he understood the meaning.

Wu Shaowu told Wu Shaogang very clearly, according to Wu Shaogang's design and ideas, if you build a manor-style house, it will cost at least about 1,000 taels of silver, and the manor needs a large area, not only houses, but also gardens, courtyards, etc., just the outer courtyard wall, it will take a lot of time.

According to Wu Shaogang's requirements, it is not impossible to complete the project within a month, but it is very difficult and more expensive.

Wu Shaogang said very happily that he was preparing two thousand taels of silver.

This made Wu Shaowu also stunned and speechless.

The site of the manor was built less than 200 steps away from the current house, and according to the design plan and drawings given by the craftsman, the existing house is also within the manor.

The area of this manor made Wu Qiming and others dare not believe it, and when discussing with Wu Shaogang, Wu Qiming even said that how can the family live in such a big house.

This made Wu Shaogang a little crying and laughing.

In fact, Wu Shaogang is not a person who thinks about extravagance and waste, but the harsh reality makes him have to do this, in a short period of time, thinking about relying on his family to establish prestige in the village, it is simply impossible, in this case, only through material means to deter the people in the village.

In this era, the common people have a natural fear of the gentry and wealthy households, and the local government does not dare to provoke such people, once the Wu family builds a manor and owns hundreds of acres of land, it will become a real big household, and ordinary people dare not provoke it at all, and it is too late to respect.

Wu Shaozun led Wu Shaozun to greet the guests, while greeting the guests, he instructed Wu Shaozun on the one hand, how to treat things, Wu Shaozun was a little uncomfortable at first, but slowly got a lot better, after seeing the guests coming, especially the relatives of the Wu family, began to greet and greet with fists.

Wu Shaozun's actions were childish, after all, he was only twelve years old, but no one canceled it.

Wu Shaogang's domineering attitude on the day he just returned home has already made the views of the people in the village change, which is an earth-shaking change.

When the elders and leaders of the village came to congratulate, Wu Shaozun's face turned a little pale.

Wu Shaogang had a smile on his face. Everyone who came was a guest, and he pulled Wu Shaozun and greeted the elderly, Jiashou and others.

The attitude of the elder and the head of the first is very respectful, Wu Shaogang has the matter of the holy decree and the Privy Council edict here, which has long been spread throughout the village, and even the officials of the Luzhou Mansion said that this is a great thing, and some people even said that the prefect of the Luzhou Mansion had to greet Wu Shaogang politely after seeing him.

With such an identity, where can the elders and the first head be offended.

It was Li Zheng Sun Yaowu who was late to come.

Sun Yaowu had a humble smile on his face, and after seeing Wu Shaogang, he clasped his fists and saluted again and again, saying that the previous matter was his own fault, and he had taught his nephew Sun Gongzi a hard lesson, and implored Lord Wu Shaogang not to care about the villain.

Sun Yaowu came to congratulate, which was something Wu Shaogang did not expect.

Wu Shaogang admired Sun Yaowu a little, no wonder he could become the Lizheng in the village, if he didn't have such kung fu, he would have been eliminated a long time ago.

At the end of the day, the banquet officially began.

Wu Shaogang, Wu Qiming, Wu Shaozun and others, holding wine bowls, shuttled between the tables and toasted everyone, while Zhang Binghui and others were busy helping to serve food and pour wine.

Later, Wu Qirong, Wu Qibiao, Wu Shaowu and others also picked up the wine bowl and helped toast many craftsmen and subordinates, after all, from this day on, in their opinion, the huge project was about to start.

At the end of the day, the banquet ended.

At a moment, Wu Shaogang had already gone down with many craftsmen and came to the place where he was ready to start construction.

The project was carried out in two aspects at the same time, on the one hand, the construction of the courtyard wall, and on the other hand, the construction of the hall house, which were the two most important projects.

The whole house covers an area of about ten acres, divided into three courtyards, the hall house is the center of the whole house, there is a front yard covering an area of about one acre in front of the hall house, there is a patio behind the hall house, the two sides of the patio are the wing room, the study and the bedroom in the middle of the courtyard, the female dependents are in the back yard, and the backyard has a garden.

There are a total of twenty-seven large and small houses, far beyond Wu Shaogang's original imagination.

The two thousand taels of silver that Wu Shaogang planned to take out were equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, even if it was an ordinary county order.

Sufficient money means that the progress of the project can be very fast.

Within a month, it is impossible to complete the main project, even if it is very good, as for the interior decoration, it will take some time, and the interior decoration is costly, sometimes not less than the cost of the main project.

Wu Shaogang looked at many craftsmen and subordinates, and opened his mouth with his fists.

"Today is the time for my Wu family to build a house, please master the master, this matter of building a house, please leave it to you, the food and drink will be arranged every day at home, sent here, the matter of wages, the uncle also told you, the day is clear, I am here to give you a statement, if you can ensure that the house is solid, the time to complete in advance, then the price I give, can be higher."

Several major craftsmen looked at Wu Shaogang and stopped talking.

Wu Shaogang understood what they meant.

"The working hours were not advanced by one day, and the wages I gave were half percent higher than the agreed wages, two days earlier, one percent higher, and so on. . .

Before Wu Shaogang finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations around him.

Several major craftsmen have already begun to bow their heads and settle accounts.

In fact, to speed up the progress of the project, the best way is to get up early every day, and even work overtime at night, so that the progress can naturally be accelerated.

Hundreds of good timber have been prepared, and the most important thing is wood to build a house, as for civil engineering, it is relatively simple, and among the craftsmen, carpenters are the most.

Carpenters are no better than civil craftsmen, they can work overtime for long hours to speed up the progress of the project.

Wu Shaogang also understands this, building houses in this era is not as good as a thousand years later, the houses are mainly civil structures, and the houses are mainly of good stones and wood, and the houses in the courtyard have almost no floors, as for the matter of cutting corners, I have almost never heard of it in this era.

Wu Shaogang once planned to build a house by contracting, but unfortunately, judging from the situation introduced by Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao, there was no so-called concept of contracting in this era.

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Wu Qirong followed and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the master has spoken, and then it depends on what you do, you are all famous craftsmen in Luzhou City, and I also invite you to build a house, if there is any difference, I am not good at making a difference, and your reputation will also be affected. . . ."

As soon as Wu Qirong finished speaking, a craftsman spoke loudly.

"Don't worry, since we are here to do things, we must do our best, the main family has spoken, we will do it according to the requirements of the main family, but in terms of this price, please also take the main family to heart..."

Without too much ritual, everyone immediately began to move.

The team quickly divided into three parts, namely carpenters, civil craftsmen and subordinates, each of which was arranged by a leading craftsman, and the surrounding area quickly became lively.

There were more people in the village who came to see the excitement, and some children were even able to mix in some food.

The Wu family, who used to be the poorest in the village, made a fortune in an instant, began to build a manor, and used so many craftsmen at once, which was something that no one could have imagined.

In the eyes of many villagers, there is envy and nothing else.

After all, the villagers are still simple.

All this was seen by Wu Shaogang in his eyes, and it was not out of his original intention to start construction with such a big momentum, but he had to do it, the merchants of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were completely different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they had a very good status, after all, the merchants were synonymous with wealth, and the imperial court levied taxes on commerce and trade on a large scale, so it can be said that the merchants supported the imperial court.

Wu Shaogang's status is not very high, but in Jiangxia Village, it is already very good, and it is second to none in the Wu family.

Wu Shaogang pays more attention to the elders and the first head in the village, their attitude is very important, the rational and excessive Wu Shaogang will not have so many good intentions, once the old man and the first head show different attitudes, he will try his best to do it before leaving the village, even at the cost of the other party's life, in order to ensure the safety of his family.
