Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 59 Mansion
After many years, Shangluo once again returned to the doorstep.This is his family's house in Nanjing.

【Is this your home? 】

"Correct."

[Your family actually has a single-family house in Yujing!Is your family a Roman patriarch? 】

"I know what you want to say, but the situation is different."

He had seen the cityscape of Constantinople from the newspapers.Everything inside the Theodosian walls is still the same as it was in 1453, and even more retro.There is not a single skyscraper in the city, and there are almost no residential buildings.The mansions of the elders filled the old city of Constantinople, and there were only one or two thousand permanent "citizens".More than 2000 large houses can be stuffed there, the level of urban planning of the Romans is really admirable.

It is said that there is still no public transportation route within the walls of Theodosius, because the Roman patriarchs who lived in big houses didn’t need it at all, and they didn’t want noisy buses full of passengers running at their door.The tram is even worse, and the subway is even more unthinkable. It will destroy the sacred blessing of the "City of Seven Hills" of New Rome.The urban areas since modern times have been outside the Theodosian Wall.

Yujing is a completely different situation.The house of the Shangluo family is a very typical private house.

The high door wall stretches to the height of three floors, effectively utilizing the occupied area of ​​only 80 square meters.The extension of the whole building is also quite restrained, and the left and right sides completely fit the neighbor's home.There is only a palm-width gap between the two houses, and even bigger mice have to squeeze through.

The high eaves are also separated from each other by the horse head wall, which strictly distinguishes the use space of both sides.There is only a small door protruding from the side facing the street, which can only ensure that the door will not be wet by rain when it is opened, no matter how far away it is.

The whole street, including the houses in the whole block, are all like this, they are all square boxes with white walls and black tiles, occupying every inch of the land.

This is the embodiment of traditional Jiangnan houses in Yujing, which can often be seen in many places in Huizhou, Hangzhou, and Suzhou.Compared with ancient times, the appearance of these houses has not changed, they are still square boxes.Because only square boxes can maximize the use of architectural space, which is the case for most of the houses in Yujing.

Seen from above, these blocks look like a large black and white chessboard connected together. Each building is almost the same size, and they all occupy one space on the chessboard.Occasionally, there are more than one grid and occupy four grids, and there are also different combinations that occupy two, three, and so on.It's neatly stacked there like Tetris.

The narrow alleys extend to the inside of the chessboard like capillaries, and some alleys cannot even accommodate two people passing side by side.When you meet each other, you have to smile at each other, and then walk sideways.

It's crowded here, crowded everywhere.But this is the only way to ensure that everyone has their own single-family house, and it cannot be packed without being crowded.Not only in the city of Nanjing, but also in many places in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Many blocks have been like this since the Wanli year.This is how Yujing's 1 million permanent residents are crammed in.

Therefore, choosing to build a skyscraper was indeed an urgent choice, otherwise, judging from the commercial volume of Yujing, this little land would not fit in at all.It is better to stack Arhats in a company than to stack Arhats in a private house.

There is a big problem with doing this, that is, private cars cannot be used, and there is nowhere to park or drive.There is no way to do this. Many blocks have a history of more than 400 years. It was impossible to think of leaving space to accommodate private cars hundreds of years later.

Therefore, although private cars are not expensive, commuting in Yujing mainly depends on public transportation, and people below the fifth grade have to squeeze the subway.That's why it is so urgent to replace coal with electricity in the subway, because it is indeed too important.The citizens of Yujing have to stay in the subway for an hour or two every day, and the most urgent need is to keep the subway from smoking.

But not everyone needs to squeeze the subway, because most people don't actually need to commute several stops away.For example, the Shangluo family doesn't need it. The merchant is a martial arts left guard craftsman, and the land in this entire block is all owned by David.The site of Wugong Zuowei is not far from the "Tianzi No. 16 Manufacturing Factory" on the west side of Qingliang Mountain. The straight-line distance is only one kilometer, and it can be reached by bicycle.

In a place as crowded as Mount Wutai, there are actually not many private households.The land outside Nanjing City is much more spacious, the imperial palace and imperial court have also been moved outside, and the outer city has to be updated.

However, although it is very crowded here, after all, this world is our own, and it will not be changed even if the county magistrate is given.

Shangluo opened the door of the house, the lock was newly changed, and the floor inside the door had just been swept.The room was dark and the lights were not turned on, but moonlight and outside lights came in from the patio, illuminating the ground in the center of the patio.

When he stepped into the door, he felt a heavy feeling from under his feet, and the black stone bricks under his feet were all covered with paste.

In theory, this is actually the ancestral house, but the land is not the ancestral land.Merchants have been military craftsmen in the guards for generations, but they don't have to be military craftsmen.After the Taichang Year, the household registration will be unbound. Whether to be a military household or a craftsman household is one's own freedom, and it is only limited to oneself.After you choose your own, your children and grandchildren will have to choose again.They can take over the work, or they can become independent households to find another way of life. The number of military households and artisan households has basically remained the same since then, one carrot and one pit.

Generally, at least one person in a family inherits the household registration of military households and craftsmen households.It is also possible not to inherit, but military households and craftsmen are also bound to other things.For example, the admission qualifications for the Wutaishan Institute and the teaching institute, and this land.

This land actually belongs to the martial arts left guard.Although I don’t know how many years I’ve lived here, the land in the Weisuo cannot be bought or sold. If you don’t work in the Weisuo, you will have to take it back—on the other hand, as long as this family is not extinct, as long as the Ming Dynasty is not finished, how long do you want to live on this land? As long as I live there, I still have a job that guarantees income in drought and flood, and the basic salary is at least not enough to starve to death.If you can work harder to get a senior fitter, you can still have a considerable salary.

And judging from today's land price, even if the land can be bought and sold, his family can't afford it.The salary of 50 taels per month is still too little for this prime location, and Shangluo dare not calculate how expensive this piece of land is.Anyway, companies outside are stacking Arhats, department stores are also stacking Arhats, and the underground subway is almost stacked to the eighteenth floor, so there is no stack here.The attitude of the guard is: Anyway, everyone can do what they want, and the radish pit also has the benefits of the radish pit.

In addition, although the land belongs to the guard, the house is still our own.Shang Luo vaguely remembered that the old Shang said that this house was rebuilt once when his grandfather was in his grandfather's time, and he also made a small change when he pulled the wires a few years ago.Jin Yiwei also came to clean it before.

[Good guy, are these Jinyiwei engaged in housekeeping?Why is the floor wiped like a mirror, and a note was left on the table for you? 】

"I heard that this is what they do in the inner court. Go to bed first, and you will be busy tomorrow. My room, I remember it is here. Good guy, they even made the bed, how do they know which one I live in?" The room? They even made tea."
