A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 41 Three Lady

The craftsmen recruited by Xin Zhao directly packaged the internal and external structural design, but Huaiyu still mentioned his own ideas to the craftsmen. He has his own opinions on the shape and internal layout, which are basically similar to the traditional ones, but there are some differences in the details. different.

"The location of our shop is good. Although it is not adjacent to Inner Fourth Street, it is also a small cross street, and the street is five feet wide. It is completely possible to rebuild a side shop in front of the shop, and there is still space behind the shop, and it is also possible to rebuild a side shop. "

The so-called side shop and side shop are compared with the main shop and the main shop. To put it bluntly, they are illegal buildings built indiscriminately. Of course, the craftsmen said that Huaiyu is in a good location and the street is wide, so it is actually a common practice nowadays to build a little bit appropriately. As long as it doesn't go too far and doesn't take over the street, the City Department will turn a blind eye.

The craftsmen proposed that they can be built together at that time, so that it will appear neat and tidy, without affecting the city appearance and street traffic, and can expand the business area within the limited land boundary.

Carpenter also suggested digging a well in Puhoufang, so that it is convenient to get water.In addition, although there are large and small ditches in Dongshi City for drainage, the domestic sewage of most commercial households and ordinary people is still mainly filled with seepage wells.

Chang'an is a loess plain, and the ground has good water seepage conditions. A vertical hole is dug underground to seep water and sewage directly into the ground. This kind of seepage well also has an important role in drainage.

It is said that although Chang'an City was only built during the Sui Daye period, there are often urban areas overlooking the sea. In serious cases, sometimes even neighbors in low-lying areas can be completely submerged directly.

Therefore, residential houses or shops in Chang'an city generally use seepage wells, which can not only discharge sewage directly, but also drain waterlogging during heavy rains to avoid waterlogging.

In terms of the layout of the entire Qianjin Hall, the traditional layout is generally maintained.

The big house with three bays in the front is not divided into one horizontal whole, which is also the facade, with large doors and windows. One shop is more than three feet wide, and the three connected shops are nearly ten feet wide.In front of the door of the main shop, another seven feet is raised, and the widened eaves are actually a convenient shop added in front of the main shop.The counter is placed under the open window, so that customers can shop directly outside the window, and it can also protect against wind, rain and sun.

The inside of the main shop is only about one foot deep, and a medicine cabinet will be installed at that time.

There is a door in the front of the shop to connect to the workshop in the back. The courtyard in the middle increases the daylighting. The workshops in the wing rooms are surrounded by corridors, which are used for processing medicinal materials and storage warehouses.

There is a courtyard behind the workshop, which is used as the residence of shopkeepers, and can also be used for processing and storage.

The entire Qianjin Hall has a wide front shop but a shallow shop inside, with workshops and courtyards at the back, and an outer shop built behind the courtyard for garages and stables.

Water wells and seepage wells were installed in the courtyard, and water and sewage drainage were solved.

It covers an area of ​​two acres, which is relatively compact and there is no extra courtyard, but the advantage is that it has complete functions. At the intersection in the southeast of Dongshi, there can be such a super wide storefront facing the street, with workshops and mansions behind it, and even a partial Such a large pharmacy with a side store, the conditions are very good.

Three entrances and three compartments, the front shop is in the middle of the square and the back is the house.

"Is our shop too big?" Wu Junya couldn't help being surprised when she saw the final design that was negotiated. The surface was ten feet wide, and even with the front shop and side shop, it would still be seven feet deep.

One shop is equivalent to nine small shops.

"It's okay," now that there is an opportunity to occupy land and build it, what are you waiting for? It will be difficult to have a good pavement in such a good location in the future. Even if you don't need such a large area by then, you can still operate some other things, or even rent it out.

After everything has been negotiated, all that remains is to prepay part of the money to the craftsmen and various shops, and then wait for the auspicious day to start construction.

While building, you can order wooden furniture such as medicine cabinets, as well as utensils for processing medicinal materials, etc.

"Before Qianjintang is built, we still have to make medicine in Huaiyuanfang for the time being."

The craftsman's budget was much lower than Huaiyu's estimate. After the Qianjin Hall was built, it was estimated that it would not exceed [-] guan with the drilling of wells and wooden furniture.

But now it is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and I planned to rent a shop before. A small shop of about ten square meters costs only five hundred yuan a month.

Qianjintang is equivalent to three big shops, one big and three small shops. If you rent it, it costs [-] yuan a month. It costs about ten thousand yuan, and after a year, the rent will be hundreds of dollars.

Calculated in this way, it is of course cost-effective to build it yourself, but Huaiyu did not include the land price. Normally, a good land in Dongshi City, especially such a large piece of land, is still so good, and it is worth a lot of money. Plan to cooperate with the Municipal Department to clean up the ruins of the medicine store in exchange for such a large piece of land to build a house for free, which is actually a big profit.

The cost of self-construction is mainly to hire craftsmen. The labor of those small workers is cheap, and he also uses rotten bricks and old soil cleared from the ruins for materials, which saves a lot of money.

If it was normal, his Qianjintang, which covers an area of ​​two acres, would have to deal with officials from the Municipal Department from purchase to construction to furniture decoration.

Although it is okay to rent a small shop directly for [-] yuan a month, Huaiyu still has some ambitions. Since she intends to enter the pharmaceutical industry, the Qianjintang brand must be louder. After all, it is a high-end luxury route. If If he set up an inconspicuous small shop, then his medicines would not be easy to price mid-to-high end.

After handing over matters such as construction and procurement to Xin Zhao and Fatty Wu, Huaiyu planned to rush to the medicinal materials in the Huaiyuanfang courtyard with peace of mind.

He has already made the ten bottles of medicine that Mrs. Fan ordered before, but Mrs. Fan did not come to pick them up. He delivered the medicines to the door, but the Fan family said that the eldest lady had not returned from the suburbs of Chang'an, and asked him to deliver it by hand after Mrs. Fan came back. give her.

This incident made Huaiyu wonder if it was Fan who wanted to mess with him, saying that he did not deliver the goods on time or something, but he felt that the meeting that day had a good impression, and he felt that she was not that kind of person.

"San Niang has been grounded."

As soon as Runniang came back from the Yongkang mansion, Huaiyu made some mosquito repellent incense and some soap, so she asked Runniang to send some to the Yongkang mansion, which was also a thank you to Mrs. Zhang and Li Sanniang.

"what happened?"

"Did you forget that Sanniang planned to recruit Zhuang Dingbuqu to Huiningguan to rescue his father and brother? Because your medicine came to Chang'an, and Sanniang planned to leave when the medicine was ready, but Madam already knew about it, so she directly She was imprisoned in the Yongkang mansion, and now she can't even go out, the wife sent her family to deliver medicine to the border."

"It's not a bad thing. After all, San Niangzi is a girl. It's [-] miles from Chang'an to Huining Pass. The battle at the border pass is fierce. It's too dangerous for her to go."

Runniang sighed, "I haven't seen Sanniang today, but based on what I know about Sanniang, she will definitely find a way to escape."

"This?" Huaiyu felt that it was too dangerous for Li Sanniang to go to the border in person.

But Runniang supported Sanniang to go to the border. She thought that Sanniang was the kind of person who made up her mind that even nine bulls would not be able to bring her back. Moreover, she thought Sanniang was very capable and proficient in riding and archery. She went to deliver the medicine herself and said Maybe it will be faster and safer to deliver the medicine.

"It was Sanniang's father and brother who were seriously injured in Huining Pass. Erlang, can you think of a way to help Sanniang escape from the Yongkang mansion?"

Huaiyu's head felt dizzy when he heard that, can you help me with this?The Yongkang government was not mean to him, and the Zhang family gave [-] pieces of silk as a reward for the medicine and gave him a beautiful concubine, but now he is helping Li Sanniang sneak out of the mansion to take risks at the border. If something goes wrong, there will be trouble, Then how will he explain to the Li family?
He can't afford such consequences.

"Runniang, I know that you and Sanniang have a good relationship. They grew up together. You can say that you are like sisters. I also know that Sanniang is eager to save her father and brother. However, we really don't want to get involved in this matter. Since Mrs. Zhang has already We have sent Buqu to send the medicine to the Border Pass, so let’s hope they can send the medicine to Xiaoguan as soon as possible, and Duke Yongkang may send someone to help deliver the medicine to Huining Pass.”
