Section 113 New Housing

The pregnancy of Tang Menglong's life secretary contributed to the complete collapse of the "Accommodation Regulations for the Elders of Bairen City". The assignment of the living secretary has allowed the office to take into account the needs of the senators for a separate residence, and now it has been raised to the urgent agenda.

However, this matter is not simply to build a house for the patriarch, but also involves the current management system of Bairen City.

The original fortress-like residential area of Bairen City, which integrated office, living and warehousing, was no longer appropriate, and the practice of prohibiting indigenous people from entering the city made it very inconvenient to live and work.

The distribution of life secretaries has ended, but limited to the management regulations of Bairen City, these women cannot enter Bairen City, and it was originally planned to build a separate residential area for life secretaries, but the news of the Ming army's crusade made this project run aground. As a result, the patriarchs could only meet their living secretaries in the merchant hall in Dongmen City, and the rooms in the merchant hall were limited and in short supply for a while. Li Mei was overwhelmed by the constant number of complaints—everyone complained that there was almost no room to open, and she had to order the elders and their life secretaries to open the room for a limit of three hours per person, which was then shortened to two hours.

"If I had known that I should have opened an express hotel on my own." Li Mei is very enthusiastic about this business opportunity.

Outside of three hours, the life secretaries can only work with the elders in their respective positions, which is not bad for the elders sitting in the office, and adjusts the working atmosphere of the office; The patriarchs of the agricultural family were not dissatisfied—most of the secretaries of life were from peasant families and were very good at doing crop work; But for the elders of the industrial mouth, women dangling in the workshop seemed very uncomfortable, except for a few particularly interested elders who began to teach their life secretaries to make hammers, everyone else felt that this could not work, easy to distract.

At night, the life secretary has nowhere to go. Especially for the veterans who did not have a single dormitory to live in at the workplace, it was the most difficult, and they could not follow the patriarchs back to the dormitory in Bairen City, so they had to go back to the life secretary school to live in the collective dormitory.

The senators were so dissatisfied with this state of life that the proposal of the Office to restart the project was rejected by the Senate. In the midst of the roar of "we want to live a normal family life", the "Regulations on the Accommodation of Elders of Bairencheng", which had been in force for more than two years, were completely abolished.

Moreover, in order to ensure the convenience of fortification, the area of the city was small. It is inconvenient to live in activities. The call for the construction of a new residential area, or at least the development of a villa area, grew louder and louder in the Senate.

After some "research", the general office decided to carry out a reconstruction and expansion of Bairen City. Re-planning of residential and administrative districts. The original residential area was moved out of Bairen City and rebuilt on a site.

According to the plan of the construction company, the old city of Bairen City will be used as an administrative center, and only the senate, government agencies, and key departments such as telecommunications rooms will be retained.

The original living facilities, including dormitories, recreational facilities, and living service facilities, were all moved to the "new city". The new city is designed and built in full accordance with the requirements of the residential area.

According to the plan, the new city was built on the banks of the Wenlan River, and in the upper reaches of the old city, it was built directly on a high ground on the banks of the Wenlan River.

The old and new cities were connected together, with walls and gates in between, which made it easier for the elders who worked in the old city to commute to work, even if they were guarded by the gates.

According to Mei Wan's planning ideas, the new city is actually a residential community with 500 households. He planned to build the homes of the senators in the style of townhouses - more economical in terms of land.

He assigned Zhang Xingpei to design the 500 townhouses. Meiwan plans to build each villa with a double-storey usable area of about 100 square meters.

"It's too shivering." Zhang Xingpei frowned, "Although it is impossible for everyone to build a grand building like a palace or castle now, this 100-square-meter building is really unacceptable." At least an American-style single-family two-storey log cabin with a front and back garden ......"

"And how big is this community?" Mei Wan said, "In this way, Ran Yao is still not satisfied - I think the new residential area is too big and it is not easy to guard. ”

Merlin has been holding his chin and looking at the planning plan, and this meeting also spoke: "Even if you build a townhouse, according to this design drawing, there will be one hundred and sixty houses for three households, and to be honest, the villa area of this scale in the real estate projects I have done is already very large." It's easy to build a house, but the decoration inside the house will consume a lot of resources. Don't talk about it, the lighting and power distribution inside the light is incredible. ”

"What are your plans?" Mei Wan has never been very interested in this high theory of the same sect.

"I think it's better to build an apartment......

Everyone said that it was difficult to accept: because now high-level indigenous cadres have moved into townhouses, and the patriarchs are living in apartments instead - there used to be a security consideration, but now it is difficult to justify it.

"The patriarchs are all planning to have three wives and four concubines, you give people an apartment, how can you arrange so many little wives? It's no wonder if I don't cut you down. ”

"Listen to me." Merlin said unhurriedly, "The apartment occupies a small area, five hundred apartments, if you build a three-story building, fifty will be enough." Compared to more than a hundred townhouses, the footprint is much smaller. First of all, it is easy to guard. Secondly, the apartment of more than 100 meters, the two little wives are still settled, and it is a long-term plan to have more little wives - will everyone still live in Bairen City in three or five years? ”

He predicted that by the end of the first five years, many of the elders would have dispersed throughout Hainan Island, and some might even be sent to the mainland and other regions, and these people would no longer live in Bairencheng. Many houses will be left vacant, and oversized villa settlements will become too deserted to maintain, manage and defend.

"If an apartment of more than 100 square meters cannot accommodate the future wives of the patriarchs, and a townhouse of more than 100 meters cannot accommodate it, you must know that many people have the idea of building mansions and manors. We can't build 500 manors in Lingao, can we? ”

The patriarchs will not regard Lingao as their permanent residence in the future, and this will only be a "holy place" in the future. When it comes to the living environment, there are many places on Hainan Island that are much better than Lingao.

"At that time, an apartment in Bairen City will just be a status symbol, and I think those veterans who are stationed abroad will only stay in luxury hotels or office guest houses when they come back, and they may not come back to the apartment to live in."

Instead of building a half-hung house now, it is better to lower the standard and save some resources and land. Just make sure you have a housing need for three to five years. Besides, what the elders need now is a small nest where they can fly with their life secretary, girlfriend, and wife.

This statement moved Mei Wan - Mei Lin's analysis is very clear: the ultimate goal of the patriarchs for the residence is palaces, mansions, castles, manors, sea-view villas and the like, not to mention townhouses, even the wooden structure of the American single-family house designed by Zhang Xingpei may not be able to satisfy the patriarchs.

In addition, the construction company is seriously lacking in various decoration materials and building materials, and even if the villa is built, it can only be dealt with in accordance with the Ming style decoration style.

"I'm afraid the elders won't be happy."

"Take out the plan and publicize it. No mistakes will be made. Merlin continued, "The dwelling should be designed to be comfortable and functional, and the senators would certainly be able to accept it." ”

Several people discussed it and decided that the standard apartment of the veteran was configured with three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. The saleable area is about 90 square meters.

Merlin said, "One room for the senators, one for the secretary of life, and one spare." ”

Zhen Qian has experience in designing residences, so the specific design work will be handed over to her. She suggested that it should not all be built on the scale of a three-bedroom apartment.

"It's hard to make efficient use of space with the same structure, and some of the elders don't have to be such a big house. Like a farmer, most of them live on farms, and if you give him a house, he won't come to live there. Therefore, small apartments should be set up for the convenience of those who do not live in residential areas. ”

"Yes, like Wu Nanhai, I'm afraid three bedrooms and one living room are not enough." Mei Wan said sourly.

Everyone hahadaxiao got up, and couldn't help but be envious and jealous.

Zhen Qian pursed her lips: "You are interested in this" As she spoke, she talked about her design plan again: large, medium and small apartments are all built, mainly large houses.

"The structure is a brick-concrete structure with reinforced concrete prefabricated floor slabs, which is in line with our productivity level." Zhen Qian said, "In the decoration materials, there is no problem with plumbing hardware, all of which can be self-produced, and sanitary ware and tiles can also be supplied." What is lacking is mainly industrially manufactured flooring, paints and coatings. If you don't care about it, it can roughly meet the needs because of the simplicity. Only wires, lights, and switches are first-class control materials. It depends on whether the planning institute is willing to distribute the materials, but it should be possible to bring gas and tap water to households. ”

"Gaslamps are ready for lighting." "It's brighter than a candle or an oil lamp, and it's clean and easy to use." ”

"It's also convenient to kill people - aren't there enough cases of deaths caused by gas water heaters?" Mei Wan expressed concern, "I think it's okay to use gas for street lights, but direct home lighting is not as safe as electric lights." ”

"It depends on whether the planning institute agrees or not, but everyone can have electricity in the dormitory, but there is no electricity in the apartment, and Wu De probably does not dare to object." Zhen Qian said.

The participants had another discussion on the details. In addition to housing, there are also public garages, entertainment and fitness centers, and logistics service centers. The latter hired a group of reliable maids who specialized in washing, cooking and cleaning for the senators - all indigenous women who had undergone the strictest political security scrutiny. In the past, this organization also existed, but it was set up outside Bairen City, and it was very troublesome to serve. This time, it officially moved into the new city.
