Although the craftsmen did not make much money, they were knowledgeable. They made a living in Chang'an, so they once went to build a house for Wei Zheng and Wei Shizhong. The house of Wei Shizhong was so small that it was a little bit too small. It was a temple dedicated to his ancestors, and it actually shared it with the bedroom. Because of this, Wei Shizhong also asked his subordinates to write a book about Wei Zheng's disrespect to his ancestors.

The second-rank minister lives in the yard, and the yard is luxurious without the drawings. It is a prodigal son, a real prodigal son. Old Man Zhou also knows that even the royal family has many buildings that are not pure brick houses, such as the ones that are mostly made of bricks outside the adobe wall, and pure brick houses? How many have Old Man Zhou created in his whole life?

Qin Lang couldn't care how big Wei Zheng's yard was. He only cared about how beautiful his farm was.

"Brother Zhou, have you finished reading it? Tell me what you think after reading it." Qin Lang looked at Old Zhou hopefully.

The three of them finally looked up from the drawing. This was the second time they looked at the drawing. They looked at it once when they first came and probably gave a cost. However, the owner asked them to read it again, so there were no gaps, so the three of them looked at it again.

"Young master, the old man has finished reading it, and the price is still the same. As it is, the cost is less than 240 kilns."

"Oh, it's only 240 stakes, not high." Qin Lang responded casually when he heard that he was only 240 stakes.

After listening to the four people in the room, they looked at Qin Lang with complicated expressions.

Butler Lu thought about it and said, "Young Master, that, County Magistrate Du's monthly salary is 1,300 yuan." His mouth was bitter, and Lu Yun couldn't continue.

When I was making a meal in the county, I added up all the miscellaneous things, which was less than 700 pm per month, which was less than the same as before. It was a good job, with more than 20 pm per day.

Du Cheng and the magistrate Du’s monthly salary is 1,300 yuan, which means the magistrate of Du’s take-out, which is a mess. The food and labor combined, the monthly salary of an eighth-rank county magistrate will not exceed two yuan, which is 2,000 yuan. Chang’an is a special case. After Chang’an, all other county magistrates will have to be reduced by one level. The estimated total salary will not exceed 1,500 yuan per month.

Chang'an and several famous big cities, such as Luoyang, Jinyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, etc., consume more. Other places are estimated to be worth 200% of the money for ordinary families. The annual consumption is spent. Of course, the food is not counted, so I can plant it myself.

After Lu Yun finished speaking, all four of them looked at the prodigal son Qin Lang again.

Qin Erhuo was also a little confused. He didn't know that he had no idea. He had no money to find him if he had no money.

If you tell Qin Erhuo again, Li Shimin's right-hand man and Fang Du's monthly salary are only eight to ten cents, I don't know what he thinks.

Blinking his little eyes and scratching his head, Qin Lang reacted a little, as if he was a little too much.

"Ah, that, Mr. Zhou, how much does it cost to build a house for ordinary farmers?" I asked if I didn't understand. This was a good habit that Qin Lang had always maintained.

"Young master, ordinary people build houses ranging from three to five stakes to more than ten stakes." Old man Zhou also vomited his bottom directly.

"Oh, why are their fees so low?" Qin Lang didn't understand.

"Ordinary families build houses, and all the houses are built with adobe, and the exterior walls are used as rammed earth walls. If you have time to do it slowly, the rammed earth walls are built by neighbors. Moreover, all the roof has purlins and rafter structures, with small frames and low spaces. The drawings given by Master Yan to the young master refer to the houses in Chang'an City, and use beam purlins and rafter structures, with large frames and high spaces..." Old man Zhou explained to Qin Lang one by one.

After understanding, Qin Lang finally understood, and understood how different the house with a cost of three or five jin of money was from a cost of more than two hundred jin of money.

Simply put, ordinary people built houses, surrounded by mud walls on all sides, flat roofs, set up a few purlins, lay rafters, and covered with thatch and paste some mud. Even simpler ones don’t even have purlins, and of course there may be no mud on the roof.

The drawings made by Yan Liben for Qin Erhuo were all hard or hanging on the top of the mountain, which was similar to the tile houses with high middle and low eaves in the Longnan area in the middle, with all beams, purlins, rafters and columns, and stone columns with gray brick walls with gray tiles on them.

More importantly, Master Yan designed the public buildings more beautifully. The hip roofs, the front, back, left and right, have many brackets, double eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. Of course, Zhou Dajiang has not yet estimated this thing, not within 200 cents of each yard.

Can Qin Lang say that Master Yan was cheated? It seems that he can't, because Qin Erhuo asked him to be beautiful.

The house is beautiful, and of course the money is beautiful too!

what to do?

Qin Erhuo was so annoying, he grabbed a bunch of short hair and flipped it. The twenty-one yards were gone, and there were only 5,000 guan. A few more buildings and thirty more buildings were built, and the five thousand guan I just borrowed were not enough, which was much worse. Wang Xuance and Butler Lu reserved the money for the building in the past, based on the local house, which was a few hundred guan, which was not even enough.

Who would have thought that Qin Erhuo and Master Yan would make this thing!

"Young Master, why don't you put away the drawings first and let Mr. Zhou go back first and then check the plan?" Lu Yun was in charge of the accountant, knowing the family's background, he thought about it and found someone to build it himself, but it was just a very tactful statement.

"Brother Zhou, where is the main cost of this? Please tell me about it." Qin Lang didn't give up. He was a modern man and wanted to build a beautiful farm to live and wait for death. This requirement could not be met. Ignore Butler Lu, Qin Lang asked Old Man Zhou directly.

"Oh, my master wants to ask, Old Man Rong will explain it in detail to the master." Old Man Zhou was also in a state of lingering heart. Hearing that Qin Lang did not give up, he breathed a little lightly.

I kept thinking about all kinds of things and started to write down the rules one by one, but I didn't dare to make mistakes for the owner, causing waste.

He became a craftsman until he was old and became a miscellaneous household. After 60 years of dying, he was just a blessing. As for becoming a good man at the age of 70, Old Man Zhou dared not think about whether he could live until then.

In order to support the family, he also has to rely on skills to make a living. Master Yan and his brother took care of Old Man Zhou and introduced this job. He originally thought that it would be good to have a few bits of wages to make a living. In the famine, the labor force is the least valuable, and he can only make a living by having a good meal. He didn't consider the wages at all. After bringing two apprentices, Old Man Zhou came over.

Now, it’s not that good. The owner actually built a brick house, which is a big job.

When ramming the earth wall and building a house, someone who knows a little bit of knowledge will direct him to build it casually. Even if there are no craftsmen, the farmers can build it themselves. Now who is not building a house by themselves? Only the nobles from Chang'an City hire craftsmen.

But this house with brick, tile, beam and column structure is all technical work. Those who work hard can only deliver materials, lift wood, raise walls, raise beams, purlins, sit rafters, and mortise and tenon structures with one eye are all technical work that only craftsmen can do.

The owner is in charge of food and wages, and it is a big job, so the old guys can earn some income.

Old Man Zhou estimated the price according to his decades of experience. In the past few decades of dealing with houses, he thought about what house, materials, and prices. He would definitely do a good job for the owner and save more money, but he would not dare to waste it!
