Section 37 Farewell to the Ming Dynasty for the time being
Amsterdam ...... No, Guangzhou, I'll be back. Xiao Zishan stood in the courtyard, looking at the first floor of Lingnan on the hill downhill under the blue sky in the distance, the red sandstone building with heavy eaves and the ancient building - oh, not an ancient building. He smiled unconsciously, "It's a modern building." ”
This blue brick paving, pink walls and tiles, full of Lingnan flavor of the residence. Xiao Zishan remembers that in the 21st century, this should be Huifu Road. A cheap and high-quality restaurant street, among which there are many famous restaurants that have been in business for decades. He has been there and eaten "Yinji" rice noodles and "Chengji" porridge noodles,...... This place on this plane is a rather barren place. Although you can see the dwellings, they are still mixed with abandoned gardens and even farmland and vegetable fields, and mixed forests and small ponds can be seen everywhere.
Xiao Zishan has been very familiar with such scenes since he was a child, and the southern city he lived in when he was a child is very similar to here. In traditional Chinese cities, there are farmland and wasteland within the city. In some places, in the 60s and 70s, there were still urban villages - in the urban areas, there were large tracts of farmland and cottages, and even production teams.
This has been chosen as the base of the future transit regime in Guangzhou. The one on Ho Pan Street is now only used as a cross-trade point, and will be a backup base in the future.
The new house is a high amount of money, but the place is what Sun Chang is looking for - Xiao Zishan now likes this young man more and more, he is neat and good at understanding the thoughts of the traverser.
I found this house, but the terrain is higher than the surrounding area, the area is very irregular, surrounded by water on both sides, the first owner of the house built a small house, and the remaining vacant land was built into a garden. Now it has been resold several times, and the garden has been abandoned into a wasteland full of rubble and thorns, only a pool of clear water, half a rockery, a few large trees and a pavilion that has not completely fallen down in the garden reveal a trace of the scenery here once revealed.
Of the few houses Sun Chang found, this one was the most dilapidated, and the price was cheap - almost all of the houses had to be rebuilt. But it is cold and quiet, and the area is large, so there is a lot of room for expansion. I decided to buy it right away.
The entire renovation of the house was carried out entirely by the architects of the traverser. The design idea was to modernize the interior without destroying the overall Ming Dynasty appearance of the mansion to meet the needs of the travelers who would use it as a base in Guangzhou in the future.
In the future use of the Executive Committee's Canton stronghold, the site will serve as a center of trade, intelligence, and communications across the coast of Guangdong.
The architects have retained the structural appearance of the original residence, only to do a complete renovation and reinforcement, and this part will serve as a place to interact with the locals.
A part of the abandoned garden near the house was set aside as a garden for restoration. The rest of the area is planned for a variety of modern facilities, including offices, dormitories, monitoring rooms, telegraph rooms, warehouses, and vaults in Jihua. Of course, these houses will have the appearance of a traditional courtyard building. The interior facilities and structures will be fully in accordance with modern architectural principles to maximize the use of space.
The need to arrange various technical defense facilities and liaison equipment in the base involves the problem of electricity consumption. Wind power is obviously not feasible in the city, not to mention the limited wind power, and the tall and large shelves are too conspicuous. Solar power generation is also too inefficient. Although the Executive Committee could not find a safe and secure way to send the generators to the Canton base for a while, it was still ready to build an underground generator room with soundproofing facilities -- just in case.
There are wells in the park and in the house, and after testing, they are generally qualified, and the local well workers are invited to dig deep once, which can be used for domestic water, and the drinking water has to be purified with well water.
Although there was neither electricity nor running water for a long time in this Guangzhou base, during the construction, the underground grooves will be opened in advance where additional equipment and wiring will be needed in the future.
In terms of defence, the small rivers and ponds on the northwest side were dredged and the revetments were repaired. The original collapsed courtyard walls have been increased to 6 meters high, and the backyard walls of large families here are even 8-9 meters high. And plant climbing vine roses on the wall - dense spikes can also play a certain role in preventing theft.
However, all this is left on the designer's computer at the moment, and the current funds are not abundant, and it is not appropriate to invest too much in a project that is not very urgently needed. The energy of the wormhole is about to disappear, and in order to preserve the energy of Zuihou, the traversal trade will stop after this time, and the traversers who have been active in the Ming Dynasty for several months will all withdraw to this time and space until the arrival of Zuihou traversal action.
Therefore, only a small part of this magnificent construction was carried out at this time, and Sun Chang invited plasterers to repair the house and the walls on all sides. Seeing the workers busy transporting bricks and mud, Xiao Zishan was a little nostalgic for this place, and he didn't know how long it would take to return here.
After the official crossing, they are no longer harmless to humans and animals, and Australian businessmen who come here to make money with novelty goods, but a unique political shili with the intention of rebellion. As a member of the Executive Committee, it is unlikely that he will be sent to the city of Guangzhou under this enemy Shili again. I don't know how long it will take for the flag of the traverser to flutter on the first floor of this Lingnan?
Just thinking about it, I saw that Wen Deji had come in from outside with a spring breeze on his face. In the past week, Xiao Zishan has been supervising the work in the new house, and the matter of crossing the trade is in charge of Mr. Wen and Wang Gong
"Zishan, are you still overseeing?"
"Mr. Wen, why did you come here? You've been showing up less lately. ”
"Don't get in the way, there is a powerful dart master to follow, and there is my talisman magic weapon......"
"Hehe, it's the same three again, right: spray, folding knife, and stab-proof vest?"
"No, I learned the lesson from last time, and I added another simple gas mask." Mr. Wen patted the bulging waist. He had just gone to visit Gao Ju, and he had made a fool of Yu Eshui's rhetoric.
"What expression?"
"It's hard to tell!" Wen Desi thought for a moment, "I ate a dozen green olives in one go!" However, he knew that we were willing to give him all the goods on credit before leaving, and he was so moved that he wanted to cry......"
Both of them hahadaxiao up.
Considering that in the future, for a long time after the crossing, the traveler will not be able to easily come up with a large number of so-called Australian goods as they are now. So after discussion, I still gave Mr. Gao a large number of goods on credit, and I was moved to tears by the exaltation, this batch of goods is worth 200,000 taels! In fact, for the Executive Committee, there is not much risk in this credit, and the total amount of RMB is only more than 30,000 yuan. It will not affect the use of funds on this side of the plane.
"Then he paid a lot of money, right?"
"Two thousand taels of gold. There are many things that we didn't dare to sell in the past, anyway, this is zuihou once, and after selling out, people are gone. Wen Deji stopped laughing, "These are the zuihou income we had before we crossed." ”
"Is it enough?"
"I've calculated it a few times, not counting the income this time, the current reserves are enough, and I also hit a wealthy emergency of two million."
"I'm going to have someone ask for something new."
"If it's not enough, don't buy it, everything that should be accounted for, and what to add is also the icing on the cake, but it's dispensable."
"I'm afraid there's something critical that we didn't think of. We're going to rebuild a whole industrial system. Don't drop the chain at the knuckle. "Xiao Zishan is still a pessimist.
"Don't talk about the fun, let's take care of everything here." Wen Desi said.
Back in the house that had just been repaired, Sun Chang was waiting in the house with a ledger. He was now vaguely in charge. Entrusting such a large family business to someone who has known each other for less than three months, in modern times, no one will do it, but here and now, the traversers have no choice but trust.
"Sun Chang, we went back to Australia this time. Next time, it should be next year. You are here to guard the house, and don't make trouble. In case of trouble, discuss with the shopkeeper Sun. If you have any trouble, you can also ask for advice, I have told him, and he will definitely meet you. ”
"Yes. Please show me, where will the little ones go to greet the master next time? ”
"No, we'll send someone to contact you when we come," Wen Desi took out an aluminum medallion that had been sawn open with a saw from his bosom and gave him half of it, "When the time comes, take this as a memory, and you can listen to the orders." ”
"Yes, there is one more thing I would like to ask the master to show me."
"What's the matter?"
"This mansion is so vast, I am the only one, I am afraid that it will not be well guarded. Can you ask the master to buy another family member with one or two rooms? ”
"No need, after we go back, Gao Qing's family will move here. The senior brother is learning art from your uncle, and you should teach him more on weekdays, so as not to grow up like his unproductive father.
"All the money in and out of the family belongs to you, and the eldest brother is responsible for keeping the accounts. Gao Qing's family's silver money and moon rice have a quota, and they are issued according to the chapter. Your moon's silver is two taels, and your moon's meter is half a stone. ”
"Whoa."
"Although I told you not to make trouble, I didn't want you to stay in the house!"
“?” Sun Chang looked confused.
Wen Desi realized that he had missed his words, and he did not change his words, and continued to admonish with a serious face: "Go around more and inquire about the news." We'll come back in the future. ”
"Yes."
"We're going to be back."
The day after the travelers left, Gao Qing's family was packing up their belongings and preparing to move to the old man's new house in Australia. Steward Yan called Gao Qing out at the door of the house again.
Gao Qing heard the voice and was just about to go out, when his wife rushed over:
"Go, go, go, go again! Let's go first, but later Sun Chang left his nationality and became a steward, you are good! The advanced door is still a miscellaneous for a long time! ”
Gao Qingwo is silent, which means that he still wants to go out.
Gao Xian simply cried and made a fuss: "I have been a waste of eight lifetimes with you, you still have a little brain, what does the Gao family give us?" How are they treating us, Master Wen? You'd better sell them and pay for them! ”
"Master Wen is always a foreigner...... ...... later"
"What's wrong with the Outer Domain? I'm happy to follow us to the ends of the earth! You go sell it, stay in the Gao family and be your good slave! ”
A pair of their sons and daughters watched their mother lose their temper and didn't say a word. The two children have reached the age of being sensible, and they know that their parents have their own ideas, but emotionally they feel that the old man from Australia is good, and he speaks kindly. Naturally, my heart is biased towards my mother's side.
Gao Qing hung his head and didn't speak, taking this opportunity, Gao Xian had already walked out, and said to Steward Yan with a smile on his face: "It's really unfortunate, our man went to the house over there early in the morning to clean up the house." The slave family is packing up with the child, and he will go over after receiving it, what is the matter with you, call him to come over and call you back? ”
Steward Yan knew that she was lying, and he didn't dare to help her, so he had to leave in a sneer, and secretly scolded in his heart: This group of overseas businessmen is really ** going to pour soup! It's only been a few days, and one by one they are all loyal!
