After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 216 What I like, my sister will definitely like it too

Yuan Man thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go back to Kyoto the day after tomorrow. I have some things to deal with tomorrow."

First, I have to take Yuanbao to see grandma, and second, I have to see Yuankong’s arrangements.

"Okay, no rush." ​​Hui Chengyuan said, handing the map in his hand to Ling Feng and asking him to put it away.

Yuan Man looked at him and said, "I'm pregnant now, so it's not appropriate for me to run around and build a shelter for the time being. I've arranged for someone to do it."

"The plan we made before was to build it together. You built the granary and I built the shelter. Now I'm not going. Will you still go? Do you need their help to build it?"

Hui Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to the two prefectures in the south to take a look. Once the arrangements for the prefectures are ready, I will let them build the others together."

"But the south is different from the north. The local officials there are not as easy to talk to as those in the north."

Yuan Man nodded, "Okay, I'm in Kyoto to take care of my baby, so I won't be going anywhere. I'll just wait for you at home."

"If there are several places that need to be built together, you can ask the emperor to write a few secret orders. This way, they will have to cooperate even if they don't want to."

"Okay, I will discuss this with my father." Hui Chengyuan said, "I will come back as soon as possible, first to Jingcheng, then to Lingchuan City, and try to come back within two months."

Yuan Man looked at him and said, "Don't worry, it's only been more than two months now."

Hui Chengyuan hugged her and said, "I want to be with you and watch him grow up little by little."

"Mom, Yuanbao is back and bought a lot of fun things for my sister." Yuanbao's loud voice immediately ruined the atmosphere.

Hui Chengyuan sighed and said, "I think it's time to put Yuanbao next to my father and let him learn the strategy of governing the country."

Yuan Man patted him in amusement and looked at Yuan Bao who ran in, "What did you buy? Let me see."

Yuanbao smiled and asked Yuanrui to take out the things, "Uncle Yuanrui, hurry up and show mom what I bought."

Yuan Rui smiled and took out the things one by one.

Yuan Man and Hui Cheng Yuan laughed when they saw it.

Hui Chengyuan smiled directly and said, "Yuanbao, these are all the things you want to play with, right?"

"No, I bought it for my sister." Yuan Bao glared at him and protested, "If I like it, my sister will definitely like it too."

Yuan Man smiled and nodded, "Yuan Bao is awesome, sharing what you like with your sister."

"Did you buy one for yourself?"

Yuanbao nodded and pointed to the table, "This, this, this is what I bought for myself."

"This one is for my mother, this one is for my grandmother, and this one is for my grandfather."

Hui Chengyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What about Dad's?"

"Dad, no. It's your fault that you always bully me." Yuanbao said with a snort.

"I also bought some for Uncle Jinnan and Aunt Yaer, but I didn't buy any for you."

"Hey, you're quite vindictive." Hui Chengyuan laughed helplessly.

Yuan Man took Yuan Bao in his arms and asked, "How did Daddy bully you? Did he hit you or scold you?"

Yuan Bao thought for a moment, "Dad didn't hit me, nor did he scold me. Is Dad a good dad?"

"What does Yuanbao think?" Yuanman looked at him with a smile.

Yuanbao looked at the things on the table, picked out one that was not his favorite from his own portion, and handed it to Hui Chengyuan reluctantly, "Dad, this is my favorite toy, I give it to you, don't bully Yuanbao anymore."

Hui Chengyuan took it, looked at the others, pointed at one and said with a smile, "But Dad likes that one, what should I do?"

Yuanbao was in trouble.

Yuanman glared at Hui Chengyuan and said nothing.

In the end, Yuanbao handed it to Hui Chengyuan, "Dad, this is for you. You can't compete with me for mom anymore."

Hui Chengyuan paused as he stretched out his hand. "I don't think I like it that much anymore. You should keep it for yourself."

Yuan Man laughed when he saw this. "Okay, let's go eat and try these cooked foods to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"I had the marinated duck last time, it was very good. This time I'm going for the braised version."

After Hui Chengyuan tasted them one by one, he nodded and said, "The taste is very special, all good."

Yuanbao gnawed on the duck leg and nodded, "It's delicious."

Yuan Man smiled and said, "Even if it tastes good, you can't eat more than once, understand?"

She couldn't eat too much now, so she only tasted a little of each. It was very good, with the only drawback being that it wasn't flavorful enough. It would be more fragrant if the flavor could soak into the bones.

So she made a note of this and asked Yuan Er to tell him when he went to get Yang Chu's pickled duck.

The next morning, Yuan Kong came to report to Yuan Man all his arrangements.

Yuanman called Hui Chengyuan over to listen together.

Yuan Kong said: "Master, according to the plan you gave us, Anguo will soon be able to build a shelter."

"As for Yun, Song, and Zhao, I will arrange for them to be built in the same way as Anguo."

"Each person will bring 10,000 taels to build a shelter. If there is any left, it will be used for regular needs. This is the plan of the shelter that I drew. Please see if it is feasible." Yuan Kong said as he handed Yuan Man the plan he had written last night.

Yuan Man flipped through it and saw the floor plan of the shelter. He smiled and said, "Very good, but the house should be built in a building style, with three or four floors, and each floor should have so many rooms. Four to five people will live in one room, and men, women, old and young will live separately."

"The houses are built in the form of threes, such as one, two, three and so on." Yuan Man said as he took Hui Chengyuan's brush and made changes on it.

"Also, you must strictly follow the requirements of the plan I gave you. Regardless of gender, you must leave the shelter and make a living on your own after the age of fifteen."

“Of course, those who are capable can work in the shelter, but you have to strictly control it.”

Yuan Kong nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"I did some calculations last night. If we build it as I drew, 10,000 taels per person would be just enough. If we build it as you drew, there would be some left over."

Building a shelter is not like building a palace. It requires landscaping and layout. It only requires a wide area of ​​land.

After hearing this, Yuan Man said, "It's enough. If not, come to me for more."

Yuan Kong flicked his fingers in the air twice and said with a smile: "I calculated that if we build it as you said, we can save half the land, and ten thousand taels will be enough."

Hui Chengyuan took the drawings that Yuanman had revised and started looking at them. Although he didn't understand them, he knew that it had to be built with three or four floors and could not be built in the usual way.

“When building three or four stories, the load-bearing capacity must be ensured, otherwise it will collapse easily if the ground turns over.”

"Before you start building, go to Kyoto and ask the person in charge of building houses in the Ministry of Works for advice."

"Many buildings in Kyoto are two or three stories high. You should be familiar with these."
