Chapter 460, all living beings are suffering
The sales department of Sunshine City is very lively, there are a lot of people who come to see the house, the demand for housing in the capital is too strong, and there are too many people who want to buy a house.
The bombardment propaganda of the Ming Morning Post in the early stage also played a great role, and the entire capital, from the princes and nobles, to the ordinary people, knew that there were houses for sale in Sun City, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Emperor Hongzhi was wearing ordinary clothes, followed by Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and Zhang Mao, and the four of them went down to the early dynasty, and there was nothing to discuss, so they also went straight to Sun City.
They all want to see the houses in this Sun City, and they have already heard the name of Tianjin New Town, and they also want to see this new house and building.
In addition, the most important thing is that they want to see how Liu Jin sells these expensive houses, a house of thousands of taels of silver, and that kind of suite also costs two hundred taels of silver, this price is too expensive.
"Heh, it's quite lively, it's crowded."
Just arrived at the sales department of Sun City, Hongji got out of the carriage and looked at the lively scene in front of him, and immediately couldn't help but smile and said.
"It's really lively, and there are so many people looking at the house."
Liu Jian also smiled and nodded and said.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."
Emperor Hongzhi was very interested, and took the lead to walk to the sales hall, and as soon as he entered the sales hall, he was immediately attracted by the scene of the sales hall.
In the huge sales hall, a huge sand table is placed in the center, through which you can clearly see the layout of the entire capital at a glance, and you can also clearly see the housing situation of the first phase of the entire Sun City.
"This..."
Emperor Hongzhi was immediately attracted by the sand table in front of him, and immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, and suddenly his eyes flashed with light.
He has lived in the capital since he was a child, and it can be said that he is still familiar with the capital, but he has never watched the layout and situation of the entire capital so intuitively in the form of a sand table.
"This thing is really finely made, so that people can see the situation in the capital clearly at once."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"What is this?"
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Zhang Mao also followed closely, walked in, looked at the sand table in front of him, and Liu Jian couldn't help but ask.
"This is a sand table, specially used to facilitate everyone to understand the location of our Sun City and the layout of the house, a few people are here to see the house, let me introduce it to you."
At this time, a salesman next to him said in a somewhat hoarse voice, today he can't remember how many times he explained this sand table, and his voice has become hoarse.
"The location of our Sun City is located in the southern suburbs of the capital, only a dozen miles away from the capital, and the cement road leading to the capital has been built....."
The sales clerk began to explain endlessly again, boasting about the geographical location, regional advantages, housing construction, orientation, layout, etc.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly while listening, and combined with the sand table in front of them, they immediately had a very intuitive understanding of the situation in Sun City, and clearly knew the situation in Sun City.
"This is the situation of our Sun City, at present, our houses have been built, there are existing houses to see, if a few people are interested in buying, you can look at the existing houses from here."
The salesman took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and after the explanation just now, the whole population was dry.
"It looks pretty good~"
After listening to this, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said to the people around him.
"Sounds like a good thing, why don't we go and see these houses together?"
Liu Jian nodded slightly and proposed.
"I'll show you the house."
At this time, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao came over with smiles on their faces, and they also hurriedly saluted when they saw Emperor Hongzhi and others.
"I've seen Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liu, Mr. Xie, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang~"
Liu Jin knew that Emperor Hongzhi had come to visit privately at this time, so he was also commensurate with Mr.
As for Zhu Houzhao, he immediately came to Emperor Hongzhi's side and became a good baby.
"Okay, then it's hard work."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, and then several people began to visit the house in Sun City very leisurely under the leadership of Liu Jin.
"This is our tall building, and above the tall building are the suites, and below this are the shops."
Liu Jin took Emperor Hongzhi to the suite first, ready to take Emperor Hongzhi to see the situation of the suite, at this time there are a lot of people looking at the house, one team after another, so that this place has become very lively.
"If you buy a suite, who do these shops belong to?"
Li Dongyang looked at the shops one by one, thought about it and couldn't help but ask.
"A suite is a suite, a shop is a shop, and they are separate from each other~"
Liu Jin replied with a smile.
"Can you sell your suite here?"
When Xie Qian heard this, he couldn't help but say.
"Not only did it sell, but it was also selling very well, with a total of more than 8,000 suites launched this time, and more than 2,000 units have been sold so far."
Liu Jin replied.
"Oh, more than 2,000 units have been sold?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but ask, it's only been a long time since the early dynasty, and it's only been a little more than an hour since the opening, and this suite has already sold more than 2,000 units, how popular is this house?
"Let's go, let's go, I'd love to see what this house is like, how expensive it is, how it can be so easy to sell?"
Emperor Hongzhi was a little eager to see what these houses were like, and he wanted to know why they were so expensive, and how could these houses that were not touching the world and not touching the land be sold so hot.
Soon, Liu Jin took Emperor Hongzhi and others to a suite here, and all the suites in Sun City were uniformly decorated, of course, just simple decoration.
The floor is tiled, the walls are painted, the kitchen, the latrines and so on are simply renovated, and some glass windows and glass lights are installed, which is considered decoration.
This kind of decoration is the lowest decoration in later generations, but it is a very good decoration in this era, at least for ordinary people.
"It's too small, it's not as big as my study~"
Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look at this suite, and immediately couldn't help frowning slightly, it was too small.
The area of the whole suite is very small, the area of each room is also very small, the kitchen, the toilet and the like are also very small, all of them are very small, and the sum is not as large as the study of Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the dignity is extraordinary, these houses are for ordinary people in the capital to live, naturally you can't use your standards to look at it."
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Liu Jin was speechless for a moment, thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty, you see that although the area of this house is very small, but the sparrows are small and complete, this is the kitchen, if you burn honeycomb coal for cooking, how large the area is enough, this is a thatched house, with tap water, a light press, there will be water to wash away the dirty things, and it can also be used for bathing, etc., very convenient and private." ”
"This is the living room, guests can sit down and drink tea together after coming, this is the dining room, put a dining table, a family of several people to eat is enough."
"These are bedrooms, there are four of them, and the area is okay, enough for a family to live."
Liu Jin introduced it while talking, and through Liu Jin's introduction, everyone understood that the area of this house is indeed small, but it is just as Liu Jin said.
"But it's still too small~"
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi still couldn't help but say.
"Your Majesty, this house is indeed a little smaller, but it definitely meets the needs, and more importantly, such a house is very comfortable to live in, very warm, and life is very convenient."
Liu Jin nodded, but sighed in his heart, if such a house is placed in the future generations, it will definitely not be small, adding up to more than 150 square meters, and it will belong to the fourth room in the later generations.
Later generations of people generally did not have a large area to buy a house, but in this era, everyone without exception felt that this area was too small.
In this era, people are still accustomed to building their own houses, generally speaking, building their own houses, it is natural to build as large as possible, often with a large area, but the rooms are relatively small, and the space utilization rate is very low.
"Liu Jin, how much silver does your house sell for?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and after listening to Liu Jin's introduction, even he, the emperor, felt that this house was not bad, and it should be very comfortable to live in.
There are four problems with housing in this era, which have not been well addressed.
One is the problem of lighting, all the houses, including the houses in the imperial city, have very poor lighting, and they used to use papier-mâché windows, so the lighting situation of the windows can be imagined.
As for ordinary people's houses, many times the windows are very small, and the windows are papier-mâché, the lighting is very poor, often day and night, and many times the lights need to be lit.
The second is the problem of water use, if there is a condition, it can be said to dig a well in their own yard, but most of the houses are unable to drill a well, even if they can drill a well, the water that comes out is very likely to be not good, because the well drilling technology of this era is not good, the water that comes out is often the top water, the quality is very poor, but fortunately there is no pollution in this era, and it is almost acceptable.
As for places where there is no way to drill wells, it is often necessary to carry water, to go to places where there are wells to carry water, day after day, year after year.
The third is the problem of thatched houses, which is better in rural areas, it is nothing more than finding a pit and digging a thatched pit, but if you are in a place like Beijing, you will definitely not be allowed to dig a pit and build a stinky thatched pit.
So here in the capital, all the excrement is first packed in buckets, and then it is transported outside the city.
Whether it is in the countryside or in the capital, it means that it is extremely inconvenient in this regard, the thatched pit is stinky, and one may fall into it if you are not careful, as for the hoarding of these excrements in the city, it is also stinky, very unpleasant, and has not been well solved.
The fourth is the problem of bathing, especially the problem of women taking baths.
Often for the sake of privacy, they will choose to bathe in the house, which is easy to get wet, and it is difficult to say that you really enjoy bathing, only a few wealthy people can use a large wooden barrel to bathe.
These houses pushed out here in Sun City have solved these four problems very well.
First of all, glass windows are used, and the windows are very large, and the light is very sufficient; There is no need to worry about the water problem, all of them are equipped with tap water, and the water flows by itself when the faucet is turned slightly.
As for the thatched house, needless to say, after finishing comfortably, you can press it lightly, and the water can be flushed, so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.
Washing is also in the thatched house, paved with floor tiles, and running water, this bath is very convenient and will not be afraid of being seen by others, and there is no need to worry about getting wet and the like, because the ground is paved with tiles, and the water dries quickly.
Solving these four problems is the real reason why Sun City houses are selling well.
For ordinary people, life is full of hardships.
It is difficult for people who have enjoyed the modern life of later generations to enjoy the many inconveniences of life in this era, and if you want to drink water, you need to pick up water in advance.
This not only wastes firewood, but also takes time, and is extremely troublesome, so both adults and children drink raw water, so it is easy to get upset.
On the thatched house, it is very inconvenient, one is the thatched toilet is stinky, and the excrement is more difficult to deal with, and the key is that there is no paper towel in ancient times, everyone can imagine this life.
What seemed like a very ordinary life in later generations was a luxury for people of this era.
Taking a hot bath every day is just a normal thing in later generations, but in this era, except for a few powerful and wealthy people, there are very few people who can say that they take a hot bath every day.
Therefore, ordinary people often do not take a bath often, in the summer it is better, it is convenient to take a cold shower, once it is winter, ten days and half a month may not take a bath, because taking a bath is too troublesome.
There are just too many, too many things like this.
Bathing, going to the hut, using water, using fire, etc., there are too many inconveniences in life, and the so-called suffering of all living beings comes from this.
"Back to Your Majesty, our price for this kind of suite is two hundred taels of silver~"
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's question, Liu Jin also hurriedly replied.
"It's too expensive, isn't it?"
When Liu Jian heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Liu Gong, this house is indeed a little expensive, but it is definitely worth the money, and everyone's choice is enough to show this."
Liu Jin said with a smile.
"This is also, such a house, I want to buy one, occasionally come to live is also very good, this at night, look at the stars outside through the window, and then look at the prosperity of the direction of the capital, it seems to be very good."
Liu Jian thought about it and nodded and said.
"Gong Liu, Gong Xie, Gong Li, Gong Zhang, if you want, I can give you a set, two hundred taels of silver, a trivial matter~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he also hurriedly said very interestingly.
"Ahem, stinky boy, am I just here for nothing?"
Emperor Hongzhi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, you have it too, you have it too~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly said.
"That's just like the words, don't be in vain, anyway, you're also rich now."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled happily and said to Liu Jian and the others beside him.
