(27) Astonishing
Lanjiazhuang five miles outside the east gate of Fengchen Guoyan City, at this time a carriage was parked at the gate of Lanjiazhuang, five young women walked down from the carriage, walking in front of a girl in white Among the people, she was the youngest wearing a gauze hat and couldn't see her appearance.
The gate of Lanjiazhuang has been waiting for Mother Liu and the old housekeeper and his party to hear that Miss came back safely but did not see Miss return to Yancheng for a long time, Mother Liu was very anxious for fear that she would have an accident, at this time seeing that she finally returned home, Mother Liu who was standing at the door cried with joy, not wiped the tears that came out of her eyes with the silk handkerchief in her hand, she and Miss were called master and servant, and Miss never regarded herself as an outsider, and the degree of food and clothing should be the best, And he regarded him as his own daughter when he first saw Miss, otherwise he would not have quietly protected her in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she has worked hard all these years, and she doesn't know it, but she can't help, all she can do is cook a hot meal for her at home.
Mother Liu, I'm back, don't cry, this time it's Su Su who insists on going out willfully, which makes you worried. Seeing Liu's mother's tears, Lan Susu was also very moved, although she was not her biological mother, but she was the first person to reach out to herself when she was helpless in the world.
Miss is right, Miss is back is a happy thing, the old slave shouldn't cry, the old slave just cried with joy when he saw Miss come back. Mother Liu said happily with tears in her eyes.
Mother Liu, don't say that, in my heart, I have never regarded anyone in Lanjiazhuang as a subordinate, this is my home and your home, we will always be a family. Lan Susu took Liu's mother's hand, although the voice was very loud, everyone present could hear her words, which also made everyone present very moved, Miss has never been very good with herself, and it is not like someone else's home, and now Miss actually does not dislike her low status, and says that she regards herself as a family. In this way, how can the people present not be moved, meeting such a master is really a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes!
Miss, we received a message saying that Miss came back today, and she had prepared the food and drinks early, and wanted to wash the dust for Miss. Mother Liu said with a smile.
Okay, thank you Liu's mother, thank you, let's clean up first, let's start the meal today, open a good daughter on the altar, everyone is not drunk and will not return! Lan Susu took Mother Liu and stepped into the gate with a smile, and walked towards her courtyard, and the little maid behind her sent her luggage to her room.
After the family banquet, listen to the study of Lan Susu in Yuge, at this time there are only Lan Susu, Lan Yutong, Lan Ruofeng, know books, know paintings, watch chess, and listen to the piano. Everyone was quiet and not having fun as usual, and was talking about important things.
Yutong, how did you do when I left?
Miss, I have already purchased the land within a radius of 500 miles outside the East City Gate of Luozhou according to your instructions, but I don't understand, Miss, what are you buying so much seaside land for? This land cannot be used to grow food, and there will be much more if warehouses are built. Although Lan Yutong did everything according to Miss's instructions, he felt that there was no benefit in doing so.
Zhishu and the others didn't speak, but they just looked at Lan Susu with the same curious expression, although they followed Miss every day, but Miss's mind was flexible, and she couldn't be sure what Miss was going to do.
Buying this land naturally has my intentions, first, to do business with Beimu, we need to expand the warehouse; Second, I want to build this place into a resort, let it become a symbol of our listening to the sea and listening to the waves, so that everyone in the world knows that we listen to the sea and listening to the waves, in the future, I will not only build such a resort, but also build such a place in all parts of Tianyue according to local conditions, so as to attract the upper class society of Tianyue, and even do the same in Beimu if we have the ability in the future. For the people they trust, they will not be stingy, as long as they have questions, I will answer them for them.
We all understand that the lady said that the warehouse should be expanded, but what is a resort?? Zhishu blinked curiously, and the others didn't say anything but looked at Lan Susu with the same curiosity, even Lan Yutong didn't know what a resort was if he had been doing business with Lan Susu for many years?
The resort is a place to vacation all kinds of houses, where people can drink wine, enjoy the scenery, read books, listen to music, do what they want to do, instead of eating in the restaurant, drinking tea in the teahouse, staying in the inn, the most basic thing about the resort is to include the restaurant, the teahouse, the inn, the opera garden, and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, we can also help the nobles hold banquets, flower appreciation banquets, birthday banquets, red and white wedding banquets, and can also hold poetry meetings and other kinds of banquets. In short, what I want to do is to turn this 500-mile radius into a place for eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and a gold cave that can make people drunk and dream. Lan Susu simply explained the definition of a resort to a few people present, and to put it bluntly, what he wanted to do was a tourist resort in his previous life, but there has never been such a place in this world, so he wanted to create such an ingenious place. As long as it is made, Lan Susu believes that this place will definitely become the top entertainment place in the entire Tianyue!
Miss, how could you have thought of such a good doctrine, Miss, but when I heard you say, I felt that this place would definitely be prosperous, and the name of the future would definitely be the Yellow Crane Tower, which is known as the first building in the world. After listening to Qin's delicate mind and selfishly thinking about the transformation of Lan Supin, I feel that this approach will really become the world's largest gold cave as Lan Su said!
The rest of the people also felt that this idea was very good after listening to Lan Susu's explanation, and nodded again and again, especially Lan Yutong and Lan Ruofeng, who have been doing business outside all the year round, and they can appreciate the wonder of this doctrine even more if they are measured from the perspective of a businessman.
It's just that Miss, if you want to build a large house, the manpower and material resources to be invested will be quite huge! Lan Yutong's words hit the nail on the head.
Yu Tong, you are right, this problem has been considered before asking you to buy land, so I asked you to buy the land outside the East City Gate, because the land outside the East City Gate is relatively flat, and there are only three mountains within a radius of 500 miles, what we have to do is to take local materials to dig these three mountains and dig these three mountains according to local conditions, and the three mountains that have been dug up will become the raw materials for us to build houses, and the soil of these three mountains can be used to burn bricks and tiles to build houses!
Miss, this is a good idea, but it requires a large number of workers and craftsmen. Lan Ruofeng said that it takes a lot of people to work to build such a large project, and even if it can be made from local materials, it will take a lot of money.
That's right, so we have to develop and make money at the same time, and use the money earned on this land to develop this land, and it will take a lot of time to cut it into such a well-equipped resort, all we have to do is to hire a group of workers to start building houses, we have to develop the seaside first, and we have to build a marina by the sea.
Miss, do you mean to do a part first and then slowly improve, so that the first part can be used to operate, and then use the money earned to continue to do the later part, instead of starting to operate after we are fully invested?
Yes, we have a lot of things to build, but we can build inns, restaurants, tea plantations first, you come and see this. Lan Susu took out a few drawings from the painting bucket next to the desk, this is the time when she came back from Beimu, Lan Susu drew on the boat, Lan Susu decided to build this resort before she went to sea, so she ordered Lan Yutong to buy land at the same time as she began to plan these architectural drawings.
Look here, the first thing Lan Suin opened was an overall rendering, The renderings are a whole complex built along the sea, first of all, there are five rows of separate small courtyards along the coast for about five miles, some are a courtyard with one entry, some are larger with two courtyards, the interior of the courtyard is different, some have small pavilions and pavilions, some have ponds, some are gardens, just like the courtyard where they usually live, but the overall feeling is more comfortable, there is a unified carriage lane outside the courtyard, the carriage can drive to the door of the courtyard, there are a total of ten courtyards in each row, they are scattered and side by side and do not look cluttered, and behind the small courtyard are several small buildings with several floorsThere are independent rooms such as single rooms and suites in the small building, only to see rockeries in the small building, with cobblestone paved paths connected to the carriageway, walking through the garden, from time to time you can see some pavilions and stone tables for guests to rest, behind several small buildings are painted a high-rise building, a total of five floors, each floor is painted with large floor-to-ceiling windows, the top of the room is pointed, decorated with colorful glazed tiles, like a huge European-style castle. In addition, there is also a separate courtyard for guests to park carriages and sedan chairs and feed horses, which is very thoughtful and meticulous. This plan is also equipped with detailed sketches of each yard and each building.
Miss, these are all drawn by you. Zhihua looked at this sketch in addition to surprise more admiration, he asked himself to be regarded as a master in the painting, to draw such a detailed sketch can not be done, and his own Miss not only drew the sketch but also so detailed and thoughtful, although he has long known that Miss is delicate, but can think of such an idea, Miss is really amazing.
Well, do you have any comments on this sketch? Lan Susu looked at everyone seriously, hoping to get their truest thoughts, after all, he was not from here, and the opinions of these natives would help him a lot.
Miss's idea is very good and thoughtful, but this last building Miss seems to have drawn something peculiar. Lan Yutong seemed to be thinking about how to say it more accurately. These windows are strangely long and wide, taking up almost an entire wall, so what kind of windows should you use? It seems to be very unstable on clear paper.
Yutong, you said very well, this is exactly what I want to say, about the last building we are going to call it the castle, this special window is called the floor-to-ceiling window, do you know why I built this castle in the middle of the mountain? Lan Susu was very happy to see that Lan Yutong had found the crux of the problem, and it seemed that they did not give up thinking because their ideas were good enough.
Yutong is stupid, and asks the young lady for advice. Lan Yutong told the truth.
There are several reasons why I wanted to build this castle on the mountainside, one is that I want to make this castle the landmark of our resort; Second, the castle is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, so that all guests can overlook the panoramic view of the entire resort, so that everyone can experience the shock of being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains; Thirdly, I want to build this castle as the gateway to the whole resort, the entertainment center of the whole resort, where guests will enjoy the best service throughout Tianyue.
Miss, your idea is very good, but there are some difficulties in this construction, and I am afraid that no one has built such a house in the whole Tianyue. Although Lan Ruofeng thinks that Lan Susu's idea is very good, it is empty talk if he can't do it.
I know what you said, so I would like to tell you how to build this castle, first of all, this castle should not be built with bricks and stones, but in this way, you take the sticky soil on our land, add glutinous rice juice and cut into about two centimeters of straw, mix it into a special mold, and then tamp the soil layer by layer, and build this castle in this way. When building a complete floor, the wooden planks used as floor slabs are supported above the floor, and then the same method is used to tamp a layer of rammed earth, and finally the whole building is renovated, as for the floor-to-ceiling windows, the carved wooden windows are used to install the Ming glaze I bought from Beimu on the wooden windows instead of the Ming paper, which is basically the case, the details I have written in this book, you go back to see first, what do you not understand or need to improve, you are looking for me.
Lan Susu put away the drawings, and handed the book with detailed precautions in her hand to Lan Yutong, who put things away.
Yutong: Tomorrow, you will send a secret letter to the semicolons in various places, asking them to post notices saying that we will hire a large number of workers and craftsmen, workers will pay three taels of silver per month, and craftsmen will pay ten taels of silver per month, all of which will provide food and lodging, and then write that this is only the basic salary, and if the work is done well or the progress of the project is faster than expected, additional bonuses will be issued.
It's Miss, I'll do it. Lan Yutong respectfully agreed, Miss will never treat people who do things for him badly, which is also one of the reasons why Linghai Tingtao is developing rapidly, everyone is willing to do things for a good master!
