In the past, farming could barely make ends meet, but now there is fertilizer to fill the stomach, but there is still not much money in hand to spend. In addition, commerce in Shunxing County has begun to flourish, so many farmers have followed suit and set up stalls to sell goods.

Because there are no restrictions on traveling with merchant registration and you can open shops under your name, some people are determined to obtain merchant registration. They either transport goods to buy or open shops to sell things.

Business development is a good thing. Looking at these businessmen coming and going, Yang Yuanzu seemed to see the future commercial center.

Closer to home, after eating, Yang Yuanzu went to the snack window and ordered some fruit smoothies. While eating, he and Lin Ting'an discussed the construction of the second floor.

The second floor construction plan proposed by Yang Yuanzu was approved by the two people, and after discussion, they felt that it was feasible.

They only built the second floor on top of the original house, neither expanding the land area nor encroaching on the territory of surrounding residents.

And this is a commercial building, and the restrictions are not as strict as residential ones.

The status of merchants was low. If the imperial court continued to restrict the development of commerce, no one would be willing to engage in business, and the circulation of materials in the entire Daning Dynasty would be a problem. Over time, without the need for others to attack, your own country will perish early.

This is a lesson learned from the past. A country before the Daning Dynasty gradually weakened in this way, so the Daning Dynasty learned its lesson and canceled many restrictions on merchants.

However, in order to distinguish the grades, the Ning Dynasty still followed the old system in terms of residential scale and decoration. Ordinary people and businessmen entered the courtyard. There were no big restrictions on the size of the courtyard and the number of rooms.

In the Daning Dynasty, those who did not have separate families lived together as one big family.

Grandparents, cousins, their children and grandchildren, this large family can number up to fifty or sixty people.

A house with dozens of people would naturally need a lot of space. In view of the complex population, there was no limit on the house area in the Ning Dynasty.

Small families with a small population like Yang Yuanzu's are in the minority and are rare.

"But this store has just opened. Will closing it for renovations affect future business?" Yang Huahua expressed his worries.

His addiction to being the boss has only lasted a few days, and he is about to take a break again.

Yang Yuanzu pondered for a moment and said: "This place will not be moved for now. Let's continue business as usual. Let's buy a yard facing the street nearby and transform it into a Baiwei Building. Then it will be built with blue bricks and cement, and the foundation will be laid firmer. I want to build it later." A fifth or sixth floor shouldn’t be a problem.”

When they were building their own house before, Yang Yuanzu had already toiled out cement, but just to keep a low profile, they only built and painted the bedroom part.

After Yang Yuanzu finished speaking, he continued: "The cement will be applied later. Let's build a second floor temporarily. Our house is eye-catching enough now. We should keep a low profile. As for the fifth and sixth floors, we can wait until later."

Although Yang Yuanzu didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that just relying on the title of a scholar and the head of the case could not support these. They could only take it slowly step by step, and only when they obtained a higher fame could they bring down the family members. Take things out and make money.

After dinner, Yang Yuanzu found a bricklayer in the county town to discuss how to build a two-story building.

In ancient times, the population was not that large and the land area was very vast, so no one thought about building buildings. When the bricklayer heard Yang Yuanzu's idea, he felt incredible.

He said to Yang Yuanzu incomprehensibly: "If there is not enough space, just build more or buy a few more houses. Building two floors is really unheard of here."

Yang Yuanzu asked another question, but he couldn't do it as a bricklayer. He asked several questions in a row but couldn't do it.

The people who had been listening for a long time could not stand anymore and walked up to Yang Yuanzu and said that they might have a way.

This man was also a bricklayer named Xiang Fangzhong. He had considered the idea of ​​building a two-story building before. However, the customers he found only wanted to build one-story buildings, and he did not have the funds to build two-story buildings, so he had to Give up.

He had heard people from Changjing in Shunxing County say before that many of their houses there were two-story, and some were even built to three stories.

Now meeting Yang Yuanzu was like meeting a confidant. He expressed his thoughts. The two hit it off and then started thinking about how to build it.

The bricklayer was experienced and had many new ideas. As soon as Yang Yuanzu told the bricklayer, he knew how to do it. After the two discussed it, Yang Yuanzu ran to Lin Ting'an, the financial controller, to report his plan.

Seeing Yang Yuanzu's excited look, Lin Ting'an thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then he added: "But I have to find a suitable house first before we can start construction."

Without seeing the location and size of the house, and not knowing how to draw the design, Yang Yuanzu took his time and left the bricklayer's contact information, planning to find a suitable house and start construction before going to him.

After the house matters were taken care of and the sun was much less hot, Yang Yuanzu took Lin Ting'an and Yang Huahua home. Yang Huahua directly handed over matters in the store to the shopkeeper he hired.

Yang Huahua was in a carriage, and Yang Yuanzu and the others were in one. The two carriages were driving on the road one behind the other.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Yang Yuanzu met many villagers, who all greeted Yang Yuanzu with a smile.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I looked at the familiar place and sighed in my heart that I was finally home. People who ride carriages these days are almost exhausted.

The dogs in the courtyard barked when they heard the noise, and then Xiaofan opened the small peephole window of the courtyard door to check. This peephole was designed and improved by Yang Yuanzu for safety when he left.

When Xiaofan saw Lin Ting'an coming back, he happily opened the door and went up to him. He took the luggage in his hand and chattered around Lin Ting'an.

Two more puppies ran out of the door, looking at Yang Yuanzu with his head tilted curiously and his tail wagging.

Yang Yuanzu knelt down and touched the two puppies. The puppies were a bit acquainted and avoided Yang Yuanzu's hands. Yang Yuanzu made a quick movement and directly picked up one of the puppies. The puppy howled in fright, and the quilt in the room The big dog on the rope barked loudly at the sound.

"Is this born to our big dog?" Yang Yuanzu asked.

Xiaofan, Suning and the nurse went to the courtyard with their luggage. Lin Ting'an replied: "This is the birth of our mistress. Six of them were born and the other four were given away. We kept two."

The remaining two are colored, and the other is black.

Yang Yuanzu then asked: "Do these two puppies have names?"

If there is no name, he will pick Xiaohei and Xiaohua.

This dog Lin Ting'an was born before he went out, but he was still too young at the time and didn't have a name. Yang Huahua heard the words and said: "If there is a name, brother, didn't you say to name it according to the serial number, so this flower's Called Xiao Wu, the black one is called Xiao Liu!"
