After many years, Shangluo returned to his home again. This was his family's home in Nanjing.

【Is this your home?】

"right."

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

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

He had read about the city of Constantinople from newspapers. Everything inside the Theodosian Walls still remained as it had in 1453, and was even more retro. There were not a single skyscraper in the city, and there were almost no houses.

The old city of Constantinople was filled with the mansions of the senators, and there were only one or two thousand permanent "citizens". To be able to squeeze more than two thousand large houses there, the Romans' urban planning level was really good.

It's admirable.

It is said that there is still no public transportation route within the Diodosian Wall, because the Roman senators who lived in big houses did not need it at all, and did not want noisy buses full of passengers running in front of their homes. Trams are even less available, and the subway is even more difficult.

Don't even think about it, it will destroy the sacred blessing of New Rome's "City of Seven Hills". In modern times, the city was outside the Theodosian Wall.

Yujing is a completely different situation. The Shangluo family's house is a very typical private house.

The high door wall extends to the height of the third floor, effectively utilizing an area of ​​only 80 square meters. The extension of the entire building is also quite restrained, with the left and right sides completely fitting the neighbor's home. There is only one door between the two houses.

Leave a hand-width gap through which larger mice will have to squeeze.

The high eaves are also separated from each other by horse head walls, strictly distinguishing the use spaces of both parties. There is only a small door protruding from the side facing the street, which can only ensure that the door is not wetted by rain when the door is opened. No matter how far it is, it will not work.

.

The houses in the entire street, including the entire block, are all like this. They are 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 much, and they are still square boxes. Because only square boxes can maximize the

Utilizing architectural space is the same for most residential houses in Yujing.

Viewed from the sky, these blocks are like a large black and white chessboard connected together. Each building is almost the same size and occupies one grid of space on the chessboard. Occasionally, some occupy more than one grid and occupy four grids, and some occupy more than one grid.

Different combinations of two, three, etc. neatly placed there like Tetris.

Narrow alleys extend into the chessboard like capillaries. Some alleys cannot even accommodate two people passing side by side. When they meet, they have to smile at each other and then walk sideways.

It’s crowded here, it’s crowded everywhere. But this is the only way to ensure that everyone has their own single-family house. If it’s not crowded, it won’t be able to fit in. This is not just the case in Nanjing, but also in many places in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Many neighborhoods

This has been the case since the Wanli Year. This is how the 120 million permanent residents of Yujing were crammed in.

Therefore, it was indeed an urgent choice to build a skyscraper. Otherwise, judging from the commercial size of Yujing, this land would not be able to fit in it. It is better for companies to pile up arhats than for private houses to pile up.

A big problem with this is that private cars cannot be used, and there is no place to park or drive. There is no way around this. Many blocks have a history of more than three or four hundred years. It was impossible to think of hundreds of

After the year, space must be left to accommodate private cars.

Therefore, although private cars are not expensive, commuting in Yujing mainly depends on public transportation, and everyone below the fifth grade has to squeeze into the subway. That’s why the subway’s coal-to-electricity switch is so urgent, because it is really important. Yujing citizens every day

Everyone has to stay in the subway for an hour or two. The most urgent need is to prevent the subway from emitting smoke.

But not everyone needs to squeeze into the subway, because most people don't actually need to commute to places several stops away. For example, Shangluo's family doesn't need to. The businessman is a martial arts craftsman from Zuowei, and the land in this entire block is all

They belong to various David Institutes. The site of Wugong Zuowei is not far away from the "Tianzi No. 16 Manufacturing Institute" on the west side of Qingliang Mountain. The straight-line distance is only one kilometer and you can get there by bicycle.

In a place as crowded as Mount Wutai, there are actually not many households. The area outside Nanjing City is much wider, the palace and court have also been moved outside, and the outer city area needs to be updated.

However, although it is very crowded here, after all, this square of land belongs to the family, and the county magistrate will not change it.

Shangluo opened the door of his house. The lock had been newly replaced and the floor inside the door had just been swept. The house was dark and no lights were turned on, but the moonlight and outside lights shone in from the patio, illuminating the ground in the center of the patio.

.

When he stepped into the door, he felt a heavy feeling under his feet, and the black stone bricks under his feet were patinated.

Theoretically, this is actually the ancestral home, but the land is not the ancestral land. The merchants have been military craftsmen of the guards for generations, but they may not be military craftsmen. After the Taichang Year, the household registration was untied, and they could not be military households or craftsmen households.

It is their own freedom, and it only ends with themselves. After they choose, their children and grandchildren will have to choose again. They can take over the job, or they can become independent households to make a living elsewhere. The number of military households and craftsmen households increases from that

It 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 the military household and the craftsman household. It is not necessary to inherit, but the military household and the craftsman household are also bound to other things. For example, the Wutai Mountain Training Institute, the admission qualification of the training institute, and this land

.

This land actually belongs to Wugong Zuowei. Although he has lived here for who knows how many years, the land in the guardhouse cannot be bought or sold, and if he does not work in the guardhouse, it will be taken back. On the other hand, as long as this family is not extinct, as long as the Ming Dynasty

It's not over yet. You can live on this piece of land as long as you want, and there's also a job that guarantees income regardless of drought or flood. The basic salary is at least enough to keep people hungry. If you can work harder and pass the exam to become a senior fitter, you can still get a considerable salary.

And judging from today's land prices, even if this land can be bought or sold, his family can't afford it. The monthly salary of 50 taels is still too little for this prime location. Shangluo doesn't even dare to calculate how expensive this land is.

.Anyway, companies outside are stacking arhats, department stores are also stacking arhats, and the underground subway has almost reached the 18th floor, but there is no stacking here. The attitude of the Weisuo is: Anyway, everyone can do whatever they want, and there are radishes in the carrot pit.

The benefits of pits.

In addition, although the land belongs to the Weisuo, the house still belongs to the family. Shangluo vaguely remembers that Old Shang said that this house was renovated once when his grandfather was a child, and it was slightly modified when the wires were pulled out a few years ago. Before Jinyiwei

I also came to clean it.

[Good guy, are these Jin Yiwei doing housekeeping? How come the floor is as polished as a mirror, and they even left a note for you on the table? 】

"I heard that this is what they do in the inner courtyard. Go to sleep first, we will start to get busy tomorrow. I remember my room is here. Good guy, they even made the bed. How do they know where I live?

Room? They even made tea."
