Although he was reluctant, Kong Jie's wife still took two children and packed her luggage with her husband, preparing to move out of her small yard.

The husband took the children to pack their belongings at home, and Kong Jie took this opportunity to find the location of the new home. Based on the house number written on the house deed, he found the demolition compensation house located outside Shence Gate, Nanjing.

When I walked to a large construction site outside Shence Gate, I saw that the road here had not been repaired yet, it was a muddy road, and there was a desolate scene around it. Except for two buildings erected on a construction site, there were construction sites that were still under construction. Near the construction site of the residential building, there was a large open space without woods or crops. On the other side of the open space, there was a building under construction.

"Kong Baihu, there is the future station building." Yu, a Jinyi Guard who showed Kong Jie's way, told him.

"Station Building?" Kong Jie was stunned, "What station building? Do the station want such a big house?"

In fact, there were already stations in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were carriage stations in every county town in the north. There were carriages selling tickets from the county town to the Fucheng, and carriages from the Fucheng to the provincial town. As long as you spend money to buy a ticket, you can take the bus to the place you want to go.

The station is generally not big, usually with several bungalows in a small courtyard, which is a carriage station. Passengers can make daily shuttle buses between the county and the capital city at the carriage station. However, there are few stations in the south, and instead there are docks, with ships that go from the county and the capital city to the provincial capital.

The transportation in the south is more convenient than in the north. Nanjing not only has ships to the county towns of Yingtian Prefecture, but also ships to the prefecture towns of Jiangnan and Huguang. There are also many ships directly between the prefecture towns and the prefecture towns. For example, the ships from Suzhou Prefecture to Yangzhou Prefecture, and the ships from Suzhou Prefecture to Huai'an Prefecture are very convenient.

At that time, transportation in the north was mainly based on cars and horses, while in the south it was a ship. In contrast, transportation in the south was more convenient and fast.

Kong Jie thought to himself: With such water transportation, it is a waste to build such a large station. I really don’t know what Zhongyonghou is thinking.

Under the leadership of Junyu of Jinyi Guard, Kong Jie walked to a newly built building and saw that it was a beautiful five-story building. The walls were goose yellow, the four floors below were all made of stone and bricks, and there was also a kind of material that Kong Jie didn't know. The fifth floor above was the top floor made of wood.

Kong Jie looked at his deed and saw that it said that he lived on the fourth floor.

The Jinyi Guard said, "Just above, Kong Baihu, please come up."

Kong Jie walked into the door opening and saw two houses on each floor of the unit inside. He walked up the stairs and arrived at the fourth floor. According to the door number written on the deed, Kong Jie found his home, which was the door on the left. The other two deeds were written on the left and right sides of the second floor of the unit, both of which belonged to his house.

"The top is your home, two sets downstairs can be left for the children in the future." Jinyi Junyu said.

Kong Jie opened the door and saw a spacious and bright hall, and there was a staircase leading upstairs in the hall.

"The upstairs are also from your family, and this one is the building in the building." Jun Yu, the Jinyi Guard, introduced.

When you walked into the hall, you saw the dining room and kitchen on one side, and the other side was a not very long corridor. When you walked into the corridor, you saw the bedroom and bathroom on both sides. Jun Yu, Jinyi Guard, introduced: "There are two bedrooms below, one is the master bedroom with his own bathroom, and the other two are secondary bedrooms, which can be used as servant rooms. In the future, your old Confucius family will be developed. You can hire servants or buy a maid, and the upstairs can be used for the people to live in."

Jun Yu of Jinyi Guard walked into the kitchen again, and saw that there were ceramic tiles on the walls in the kitchen, two holes were dug on the stove, and there was a stove inside. It was a stove that Kong Jie had never seen before.

"This is a honeycomb coal stove. The one on the left is the cooking. When cooking, you can shake the hand-crank blower on the side, so that the firepower is very strong. The one on the right is a stove specially used for slow-fire stewing soup or cooking. If there is no blower connected, the firepower will not be too high." Jun Yu, the Jinyi Guard, introduced.

There is also a pool in the kitchen. Junyu, the Jinyi Guard, unscrewed the switch above the pool, and a thing with a faucet looked like water flowed out. Junyu introduced: "This is tap water, which was drawn from a nearby mountain. Because there is a reservoir built on the top of the mountain, the pressure on it is high, so the water is directed into the building through the water pipe, and it will automatically fill the water tower on the roof. As long as the switch is turned on here, the water will flow out automatically."

"This is really convenient." Kong Jie said with emotion.

I left the kitchen and walked into the bathroom. The walls of the bathroom were covered with tiles. Even the squat pit was very clean, and there was water in the squat pit.

"Is this a well at home?" Kong Jie asked.

"What water well? This is a squat pit, which is used when it is convenient. After the convenience, you pull the rope on the side, and the water will automatically flow out of the water tank, and rinse the squat pit that you are convenient to pass." Jun Yu said.

"This toilet is really clean," Kong Jie sighed.

Jun Yu smiled and said, "Yes, in the future, you don't have to endure the nausea odor. After the convenience, just rinse it with water. It's clean and convenient."

Walking out of the bathroom, Kong Jie looked at the three bedrooms downstairs and saw that there was a balcony in the master bedroom, and the master bedroom also had his own bathroom. However, the bathroom was not a squat pit, but a toilet. Jun Yu told him that this toilet could also be flushed, and it was called a flush toilet.

There are two balconies downstairs, one for the master bedroom, and one for the lobby.

Then I walked up the stairs and arrived at the upper floor. There were wooden houses upstairs, but there were three small houses, a study, a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom. Walking out from the corridor upstairs, there was a roof lawn outside.

"This lawn can prevent the houses below from being hot in summer. You can also plant flowers and birds on the roof, plant bonsai and other things. The above is your own territory." said Jun Yu of the Jinyi Guard.

After introducing the use of some equipment in the new house, Jun Yu, the Jinyi Guard, left.

Two days later, Kong Jie and his family moved into a spacious and bright new house. Looking at the glass windows on the windows, the family's eyes widened: "What a big piece of transparent glass! How much does it cost to use it as a window, it's a pity. Why don't we tear it down and sell it in Chengcheng."

"Don't tear down things randomly," Kong Jie stopped his wife. "When we were in the imperial village, the land was rented. This house was probably for us to live in temporarily. If the things were damaged, we might have to pay."

Hun's family said: "This house is good, but it's too deserted. There may be our demolition households around, and there are no other families. How many rents can the shops below be rented out?"
