Space Fisherwoman: Going fishing in the sea and getting rich

Chapter 266 Playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong
At this time, all the Song family members also came out.

Song Hexiu also introduced his family members to Wei He and said seriously, "Hello, Manager Wei."

Wei He smiled and said, "Hello, don't be too restrained. I'm a very easy-going person."

Hearing him say this, the Song family did feel a little relieved.

Zi Yuan said, "You guys continue chatting. My master has something else to talk to me about. I will go back first."

Wei He waved his hand, "Hurry up and leave. Don't delay me from talking about business."

Ziyuan kicked him, said goodbye to the Song family, and quickly got on his horse and left.

Song Hexiu invited Wei He to sit down and began to discuss the house.

When Wei He heard Song Chuman say that she wanted to see the blueprints, he took out a book he had brought with him and said seriously, "This book contains the popular houses in and outside the city in the past ten years. I wonder how big you want to build it?"

Song Chuman: "A three-story house, but with more courtyards, more rooms, and rockeries... and so on. It would be best if all these could be met."

Before Wei He came, he also heard the master talk about the situation of the Song family. He was not surprised. He picked up the book and turned to the first page of the third courtyard. "Then you can start from here. These are all about the third courtyard."

Song Chuman nodded, took it and looked at it with her family.

The more she looked, the more fortunate she felt.

Fortunately, I didn't design the drawing rashly, otherwise I would have been showing off my skills in front of Guan Gong today.

The yard layouts she had thought of were still too ordinary.

The ancients were actually very smart and knew exactly how to layout a house to make people live most comfortably.

The whole family watched attentively.

But Song Chuman felt that the three-story house was a bit small.

No matter how many yards you add, there are only so many of them. If the yards are too close together, there will be no privacy at all.

If the yard is too small, living there will be depressing.

Xuanling Kingdom is not like the place where she lived in her previous life. It has a large population and only a few places suitable for living.

The population here is not large and the living area is large, so there is no need to live in a narrow house.

Wei He looked at Song Chuman's dissatisfied expression and said with a smile: "Actually, if you are not satisfied with the three-story house, you can consider the four-story, five-story, or six-story house."

Song Chuman was stunned: "Isn't it a restriction for common people to build a house with four or more entrances?"

She had heard this from the educated old people in the village before.

Wei He: "Those were the previous regulations. They are no longer in place now. The houses of the princes, ministers, and nobles all have more than seven courtyards, so ordinary people are allowed to build houses with less than seven courtyards. The only limitation is the size. They can't be as big as those people's houses."

"If you want to build a bigger one, that's fine, but you have to report it to the government and have a legitimate reason. For example, if your family is too big and there are no separate branches, and dozens or even hundreds of people live together, the government will generally allow it, but the taxes will be very high. I haven't heard of anyone in the capital daring to build one like this yet."

After all, if it is built too big and too ostentatious, it will easily attract attention.

Even if the imperial court had no objection, some people who couldn't stand others doing well would still have objections.

Living together in a large family causes a lot of gossip, and many younger generations are increasingly unwilling to live with their elders, especially those who live in separate rooms.

And the money from paying taxes can be used to build several more houses.

Therefore, many wealthy businessmen, if they have no connections in the court, usually build a courtyard with six entrances and the decoration is not too luxurious.

Song Chuman suddenly realized that the ruler of Xuanling Kingdom was still quite humane.
