Yang Heng did not accompany these younger brothers and sisters for a long time, and not long after, the old lady pulled these children over, so that Yang Heng began to accompany his father and uncles to start to check the newly built house and envision the future construction.

"Grandpa, you see, there is a fire kang in this east room, there is a fire wall on the side, and the stove of the fire kang is placed underground, and one of the ways to get to the bottom is to enter from the inside of the house." Yang Heng casually lifted up a wooden board that entered the basement on the side, and stepped on a staircase below, which was used to easily enter the stove to burn the kang in winter.

"Grandpa, look at this doorway again, this is a doorway at the back of the house." After opening the door and going out, it is also a step, and up the step is a small enclosed compartment, with which the wind, rain and snow can be blocked out and will not blow into the basement.

The basement is only used to place firewood and grass, and burn the kang, the basement is surrounded by adobe, and the walls are touched with mud, the only bare is the ceiling, that is, the floor of the room is wood, these woods are also soaked with some potions of uncle's secret recipe, Yang Heng directly can't believe that there will be fireproof potions in this era, that is to say, if the firewood and grass in the basement are burned, in a certain period of time, the wooden floor will not be burned by fire, during this time, Anyone can put out the fire quickly, and there are no chemical fuels in this era, so the recipe for this potion is also very effective. According to the uncle, his ancestor once produced a Taoist priest, that is, the recipe of several potions handed down by this Taoist priest, including flame retardant, antiseptic, and insect proof, and some herbs and some ores will be used in these prescriptions.

In Yang Heng's previous life, he had heard the legend of Taoist priests, saying that in history, these Taoist priests can be regarded as the ancestors of chemistry, whether it is the tricks played by Taoist priests, or the elixir refined by Taoist priests, there are reactions about chemistry in it, but these Taoist priests have gradually declined in the development of history, and the only thing left behind is some deceptive tricks. It was directly passed on to his descendants as a secret method for dealing with wood, but his descendants really had no interest, and they did not carry it forward, and perhaps after a few generations, these formulas would be lost.

After looking at the basement, he continued to return to the east house, "Grandpa, you see, this kang is only the width of a palm higher than the floor, this is to be able to distinguish where is the kang and where is the floor, and also, in the winter I will also sleep on this kang, I asked my uncle to make a kang screen, you see, this is this thing, it separates this big kang in half, the east half is the smallest, I sleep on the east side, you and my mother are on the big side, in the summer, I will go to the west side of the house, I plan that after all the construction of our house is completed, I will have a special house in the second entrance of our house, so that there will be a kang there, and I will not live in this house. ”

Yang Heng's setting is that there is not only a kang screen on the kang, but also a tent, that is, a curtain is pulled along the edge of the kang, so that when resting, both sides of the kang screen are a separate small space, but sound insulation is impossible, Yang Heng's plan is that after he moves out of the gang, if the father and mother have a younger brother or sister again, they can put the younger brother or sister in their original place.

In the north of the east house is to place a few cases, this case is the old lady to place the ancestral tablet, worship the ancestors for use, and after the whole courtyard is built, there will be a separate room to serve as a place of sacrifice, and the father is different, there is an ancestral hall in the village, this is the difference between the family and the detached family, any family regardless of size, will have their ancestral hall.

The official statement of this east house should be that the east bedroom of the main hall, the west one is the west bedroom, and a collapse is placed inside, that is, the collapse brought back from the city.

In the middle room, the main hall, there is a table for eating, which is set aside when not in use and flat when eaten.

The cooking urn was not placed in this house, but in the shed outside, or in other words, before some special houses were built, the cooking was done in that temporary shed.

"Grandpa, temporarily our family will build such a main hall room, we are using the pattern of three rooms and four frames, which happens to not violate the system, but the interval of this frame is a little large, I have also seen it from the city, ordinary people can have a three-entry courtyard, as long as it does not exceed the pattern of these three rooms and four frames."

In the case of not violating the system, Yang Heng will try his best to build his home to make people live comfortably, and the appearance does not need to be good-looking, and he must try not to make outsiders look uncomfortable, if outsiders look uncomfortable, then he will live uncomfortably.

"What is a violation, is there a saying about building a house?" Daddy was a little puzzled. "Big brother, it's like this, since the new dynasty, the messengers have come to inform them, saying that there is a camp order, that is, the house should be built in accordance with the camp order in the future, the highest standard of our civilians is the appearance of your house, three rooms and four frames, if it is exceeded, it will be considered a violation, and the excess house will be demolished at the lightest, and the heavy will be sentenced. It's the way your house is now, and I suspect that there may be a violation, but it's not so obvious, and no one will pursue it. Uncle explained that he was interested in carpentry, so he naturally had to understand these so-called buildings.

And now Yang Heng has built the appearance of the house into the most primitive log style, which makes people look earthy, so that people who are not familiar with it will not enter the house to visit, and if they enter the house, they will be shocked.

"Boy, where is our iron-striking house to be placed, do you know Lu Dao, this time I brought back more than 100 catties of iron, our family next, the field needs some ploughs and other tools, if the house is built late, it may not be able to keep up with farming." Daddy began to put forward opinions, this doesn't need to be mentioned by Daddy, Yang Heng also wants to build the blacksmith room first, and then Daddy doesn't need to mention it, Yang Heng also has a lot of advanced tools to build, and his own blacksmith skills are good, so that some new skills will not be leaked.

"Grandpa, next I am going to build the east wing with my uncles, I want to put the blacksmith room in the east wing, just like my family's house in the city, and the west wing is built into a house where the subordinates live, our family has so much land, there will definitely be subordinates in the future."

However, the east wing is to be built first, and Yang Heng in the west wing is not in a hurry, and now the place in the west wing is still a temporary shed, which is used as a kitchen.

After the construction of the east wing, it is the kitchen inside the second entrance, and the kitchen is also placed on the middle line of the entire courtyard, just behind the main hall. In front of the kitchen there are two houses in the east and west, these two are also the existence of three rooms, but they are lower than the main hall, one in the east is used as a sacrifice hall, and one in the west is Yang Heng lived, and Yang Heng intends to use it as a livestock house. Yang Heng took his father and uncles to talk about his ideas, and walked around the entire courtyard all the way.

"Also, Grandpa, I'm going to build a toilet here, a total of three, and dig a manure pit outside the courtyard, if you don't have any other suggestions, dad, then be it." Yang Heng asked his father's opinion, he was mainly worried about what taboos would be in these constructions, he didn't know what to do, so that his father could propose to make modifications.
