Chapter 276: New House Completed (1)
Not long after returning from the mountains that day, the Zheng team went back to the capital, because the new house of Li Ziyu's family had been completely completed.
Before leaving, the father and son of the Zheng family specially came to the house for this trip, and by the way, the wedding date. The Zheng family plans to get married at the end of the year, and the specific date will be decided after discussing it with his wife when he goes back.
In fact, the main project has been completed a long time ago, and the wages of the helpers in the village, including Xiaohua Niang and her five women, have also been settled.
The old village chief gave an extra ten taels of silver in addition to his salary, which was also regarded as the reward for his hard work these days.
The whole house did not cost a total of 500 taels of wages and materials, such a huge amount of money is unimaginable in the family of the banker, even if you can't earn so much money in your life. However, Li Ziyu felt that it was too cost-effective, because the materials used in his house were not so many for ten houses.
Chai Bin was responsible for the advance payment, and Li Ziyu insisted on giving it to him. One yard is one yard, Chai Bin's money is not blown by the wind, it is earned by people in the past ten years with their own ability, why spend it for themselves? And he has to feed the group of people below, and it costs money everywhere in all aspects.
Chai Bin said that he didn't want anything at first, but Li Ziyu said that the border was tight, and asked him to buy more food, cotton, cloth and other materials to deal with the upcoming war, and he took it.
Chai Bin also suddenly thought that most of his business was near Shiyan Town, and if there was a war, it would inevitably be impacted. Although I have some money in my hand, if I can't get in and out in the future, I really can't take it lightly.
He knew that Li Ziyu had shares in Riri Red Restaurant in his hands, and there would be dividends every month. And there will be a surplus in the house after the completion of the new house.
With the money in his hand, he has to expand the team and find out all kinds of news. He also wanted to move the shop to a safer town and open up all kinds of contacts.
This kind of thing. Nothing can be done without money. So he took it with peace of mind, anyway, the purpose of what he did was for the little masters, that is, the shop would also take care of the little masters in the future, and he would take care of them first.
The Zheng team left late because Li Ziyu had started some projects by his own river. These activities did not use too many people, so they paid the helpers from their own village and other villages and let them go home.
On this day, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen happened to rest. It is also the cleanest day in the family these days. Because the helpers have all gone home with good wages, they are now the only ones left in the family.
Now the house, whether it is a new house or an old house, is cleaned inside and out. These tasks are cleaned by the helpers before they leave. It really did it from the beginning to the end. After seeing off all the people, Chai Bin and his wife still came over every day, and they wanted to see if the little masters had any other instructions.
Today, Li Ziyu wants to take everyone to visit the new house and see the visual changes brought by the new house.
These days. Although Li Ziyu often participates in the construction of certain details. But after all is completed, I haven't looked at it carefully.
The most attractive and visually striking part of the new house is the courtyard wall, which is also the most expensive place to build.
The courtyard wall is as high as two zhang and about three meters wide, and the top of the courtyard wall is also built with a half-human high brick wall and a battlement, and a solid blockhouse is built on the east, west, south and north sides.
Each bunker is equipped with lookout holes on all sides, making it an excellent position for sniping. The bunker can accommodate about twenty or thirty people, and it is very spacious. Rows of stout iron nails are inlaid into the walls inside. Used to hang bows and arrows.
In the courtyard wall, near the bunker, a gentle slope type climbing road was also built.
The entire courtyard wall is made of large blue bricks. The brick joints are poured according to the cement configured by Li Ziyu. So, towering, tall and strong, it can withstand any invading enemy.
Underneath the blockhouses on the west wall are two solid wooden doors wrapped in sturdy and thick iron sheets. On the iron sheet wrapped on the outside are rows of smooth and rounded iron nail caps. A pair of shiny yellow brass rings are symmetrically inlaid on the iron door.
On the horizontal line corresponding to the copper ring, a huge copper lock is installed. The copper lock adopts a modern anti-theft function, which is specially customized by Li Ziyu to the locksmith's shop.
Because of the bunker, the place where Bu Jiu and Bu 10 are on night duty every night has been changed to a bunker.
Li Ziyu put a double bed in the bunker, and laid bedding and pillows on it. In addition, he also bought a wardrobe from He Shigui's family to put the clothes of the two, but fortunately they did not have many clothes. The two have moved out of the old house and officially settled in the bunker.
In this bunker, you can see everywhere in all directions, at least you can see that it is more than five miles away, which is much higher than the terrain on the locust tree before.
Li Ziyu wanted to give them a small courtyard alone, but the two of them insisted on being in the bunker, so Li Ziyu had to go with them.
In addition to the courtyard walls, the seven courtyards of Li Ziyu's house also created a precedent in the Daye Dynasty, which is simply unique.
During the construction, you can often hear the exclamations of the craftsmen, and secretly admire the designer of this house.
Li Ziyu also promised Zheng Pengyuan when they were leaving, allowing them to select a few people to come here to learn the design of the house. But not now, she doesn't have time now, and when she finishes spring ploughing in a while, she will send them a message.
Before they learned, Li Ziyu could draw drawings for them for a fee. Zheng Pengyuan got Li Ziyu's promise and left satisfied.
The geographical location of these seven houses is at the back of the old house, and there are seven small courtyards that are neatly and cleanly lined up. A blue brick house with a water and a spire building.
Each of these seven courtyards is an independent entity, but the walls of each courtyard are next to each other.
In addition to the main house, which is the middle house, which is five main houses, three wing rooms in the east and west, five inverted seat rooms, and two ear rooms in the east and west, the rest are three main rooms, two wing rooms in the east and west, three inverted seat rooms, and two ear rooms on each side of the main house. Each courtyard is connected by a verandah, each with a sturdy wooden door, and when the courtyard gate is closed, it is an independent small courtyard.
The walls of each room are whitewashed with lime, and the floors are paved with burgundy marble tiles. This kind of marble brick Chai Bin took a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to find it. However, it is not in vain, the white walls against the burgundy floor look clean and classy.
The windows are a combination of fixed and movable, with several movable windows on top and fixed windows below. Each window is opened inward, because each window is nailed with a simple security window, which is actually dozens of iron rods embedded in the wall.
This was added by Li Ziyu's strong request. Since she came here, she hardly dared to sleep every night, for fear of a single eventuality.
The main thing is that the location of this home is too dangerous, and there is no sense of security at all. In this way, at least she can sleep peacefully in the future.
The window sills are also cut marble, which took a lot of effort in ancient times.
