The houses in the countryside here actually look very good. Su Tang himself is not an architect, and he thinks he can't think of a better look, so he sticks to the traditional ones.
The wisdom of the ancient people should not be underestimated, but Su Tang still had some special requirements. The winter in the north is really cold. Usually in winter, everyone is on the kang or burning the stove.
But even then, it was still very cold and uncomfortable, so Su Tang thought that it was not like she couldn't afford the money now, so why did she feel wronged, so she wanted to have floor heating installed on the floor of the entire house.
Then try to have as many fire walls as possible on the walls, so that once the fire is done, even though some firewood is wasted, the temperature in the whole house will be more balanced in winter and it will be comfortable to live in.
In fact, it is geothermal, which is almost the same theoretical structure as the fire wall. Su Tang only explained his thoughts to Su Yongshun, and he understood.
"In this case, either we need several stoves, or we have to have a big stove in the center, or I'm afraid there's no way to provide it." Su Yongshun heard Su Tang talking about making geothermal heating, and after thinking about it, it was not the case. No, just like this, the construction period will be longer, and either multiple stoves will be needed, or a particularly large boiler will be needed.
"We can leave a room here specifically for the boiler." Su Tang nodded when she heard what Su Yongshun said. She is from the north herself. In her previous life, when it was not very developed, there were many people in the north who burned boilers, so after hearing this Su Yongshun said that he directly chose the option of building a large boiler.
It seemed much more reasonable than getting a bunch of stoves. When the house got bigger, she could just use a servant to burn the boiler.
When Su Yongshun saw that Su Tang had said this, he knew that she had figured it out, so he nodded directly, "That's fine, but it will probably take four months to build."
"It's okay. Anyway, I have a place to live. The house in the old house is made more carefully, and the front and rear yards are surrounded by brick walls." Su Tang is also very straightforward. She is not in a hurry. The house is better built and comfortable to live in. And if you do it well, you can use it to build houses in the future.
Su Yongshun agreed, "Tang Ni'er, don't worry, I will make it fine and good for you."
Su Tang nodded, and then said, "Brother Qiang told me that Brother Shun can build a house. I don't understand these things, so I'm afraid I need Brother Shun to help buy these materials. Brother Shun can prepare the materials starting today." , come and ask me for how much money you need. If I'm not here, you can just ask Mrs. Jiang's family directly."
Now that we have explained how to build a house, all that is left is the specific matters. Su Tang has too many things to do every day, and it is impossible to keep an eye on it all the time, so he plans to put it directly in the hands of Su Yongshun and Su Yongqiang.
Su Yongqiang is responsible for paying people to work, because they are all from the Su family, and he, the patriarch, can control them. As for Su Yongshun, he is responsible for purchasing materials and building houses.
"Besides, I don't know how to build a house, so I'm afraid Shun Ge will have to worry more. Once this house is built, I will give you eight taels of silver as wages alone."
The brothers also had to settle accounts. Su Yongshun helped her build the house, and of course Su Tang also had to pay her wages.
Su Tang specifically asked Orange Cat to inquire about it before. Now when building a house for people, the average worker only earns twenty to twenty-five cents a day. Su Yongshun is also responsible for purchasing and watching people work. He is considered a foreman and responsible person. For people, they must be paid more.
