Chapter 63 Building a New City
These villas were built as family homes for workers and soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFanjiazhuang is forty miles away from the Tian0jin Acropolis, which is a day to walk in this era. Since Li Zhi moved the factory and workshop to Fanjiazhuang, it was impossible for the workers to continue to live in Tian0jin, so they naturally had to move their families to Fanjiazhuang. In addition, the soldiers of the new army have such a high monthly income, and they are going to get married and start a family one by one, so they naturally need to have a residence in Fanjiazhuang at that time.
To meet these needs, Li Zhi designed three types of villas.
The first kind of small villa is for the majority of ordinary workers and soldiers, covering an area of 55 square meters, with two floors above and below, that is, a usable area of 110 square meters, with a main hall, a kitchen, a latrine, and four bedrooms, enough for a family to live in. Li Zhi planned to build 2,000 such houses and sell them to workers and soldiers.
The cost of building this kind of house was 30 taels of silver, and the cost of building the city wall was 40 taels of silver, and Li Zhi set a price of 50 taels of silver for the sale of this kind of house -- Li Zhi hired 2,000 soldiers to protect Fanjiazhuang, and of course he had to earn a little money from the property. In any case, this kind of house is cheaper than the house in the Acropolis of Tian0jin.
When the workers and soldiers did not have enough savings to buy a house, they could borrow money from Li Zhi, and the repayment would be slowly deducted from the monthly money in the future. If you rent, this kind of house is very cheap for two dollars and seven cents of silver a month. Of course, bachelors or families with financial difficulties can share a villa with several families, which is cheaper.
If the workers have a house in the Tian0jin Acropolis and sell the house in the Tian0jin Acropolis to buy this kind of villa in Fanjiazhuang, it is estimated that there will be a lot of leftovers. If it is a rented house in Tian0jin Acropolis, it is more cost-effective to transfer to Fanjiazhuang to rent this small villa.
In addition to the 2,000 small villas built by the masons, Li Zhi also reserved more than 4,000 blank plots of 55 square meters in the city. If the workers and soldiers did not like the small cottages provided by Li Zhi, they could also buy their own land and build their own houses. This kind of land is worth twenty taels of silver, and after buying the land, you can hire a mason and carpenter to build any kind of house.
The second type of villa is for managers and officers, covering an area of 80 square meters, with a total of 160 square meters of usable area on the upper and lower floors, with a main hall, a dining room, a kitchen, a latrine, and five bedrooms, which is enough for three generations to live in the same house. Li Zhi wants to build 100 sets of this house, all of which will be built in the west of the city.
This kind of villa is priced at seventy taels. If you don't have enough money, you can also borrow money from Li Zhi. If it is rented, the rent is four cents a month. If you buy a land to build yourself, the price of the land is thirty taels.
The last type of villa is for high-ranking executives and high-ranking military officers, such as people like Li Xing and Zheng Yuan. This luxury villa occupies an area of 140 square meters and is surrounded by a two-meter-high fence surrounded by a courtyard of forty square meters. The usable area of the building is 200 square meters. It has one more toilet, a study and a bedroom than the intermediate villa.
This kind of house is all planned in the best place of feng shui in the west of the city, the price is one hundred and thirty taels, and the rent is seven yuan a month. If you buy a plot of land and cover it yourself, the plot is fifty taels of silver.
In addition to the more than 2,000 villas and villas to be built, Li Zhi also planned more than 5,000 blank residential lands. In the future, these plots of land can not only be supplied to soldiers and workers, but can also be sold to merchants who come to Fanjiazhuang to do large and small business -- once the families of workers and soldiers move into Fanjiazhuang, there will be a huge demand for all walks of life, and it will attract all kinds of merchants, peddlers and service personnel to settle in Fanjiazhuang, and then the blank land will be useful.
Of course, there is another kind of house in Fanjiazhuang at the end, which is Li Zhi's 100 official halls.
After Li Zhi's expansion, the original Fanjiazhuang has been surrounded by the new Fanjiazhuang city wall. After the old wall was demolished, the old Fanjiazhuang became part of the new Fanjiazhuang. The original Fanjiazhuang was too small, including the 100 official halls in Hanjia. Li Zhi rebuilt a four-hall mansion in the middle of Xinfanjiazhuang as a new 100-household official hall.
After the new 100 households official hall is the heart of the new Fanjiazhuang, in addition to the simple shacks for themselves to live in, the first thing the craftsmen want to build is this new 100 households official hall.
Masons Ge Lao Er and Zhong Min are Li Zhi's men who found masons from Xiang0he County to build villas in Fanjiazhuang.
On the first day of coming to Fanjiazhuang, Ge Lao Er was shocked by the "cement" of hundreds of households. This black thing seems to be inconspicuous, but the effect is very sharp. Mix sand in a ratio of 1:5 and mix it with water to form a slimy thing, which is very effective for brickbuilding and painting walls. After drying, the cement is so hard that it cannot be broken with a lever or a stick, and it is as hard as a natural stone, firmly bonded to the bricks.
The effect is much better than that of Sanhe soil.
It is said that the Li family in Tian0jin is unusual, with various new things such as soap and Li family fine cloth, but seeing this cement, Ge Lao Er really realized the magic of the Li family.
Before the start of work the next day, Ge Lao Er and Zhong Min went to the cement workshop to get a wooden barrel of cement, and then used it on the construction site. Ge Lao Er looked at the cement in the barrel along the way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was wonderful, thinking that it would completely replace Sanhe soil in the future.
Ge Lao Er pondered that this cement will definitely be recognized by the market in the future, and it will not be long before it will be transmitted to XH County. I just don't know the price of this cement, the mason abandoned the Sanhe soil and used cement to repair the house, is it a loss?
If cement is more expensive than Sanhe soil, the owner of the house likes to use cement, and the extra cost of using cement must be subsidized by the owner of the house, so that the mason will not make much money. If the cement is cheaper than the triple soil, the masons will take the order at the original price, and the masons will be able to earn the difference between the cement and the triple clay in their own pockets!
Originally, it took a few taels of silver to build a courtyard. If the cement is slightly cheaper than the triad, but the effect is better than the triad, the mason can make a lot of money. Ge Lao Er is now helping others repair houses for a month to earn one or two taels of silver, if the cement is cheap, it is impossible to say that he will double his income.
Ge Lao Er thought about it, and couldn't help but ask Zhong Min: "How much does this cement cost for a hundred households?" ”
Zhong Min walked in front of Ge Lao Er, but he didn't think about it so much, and replied casually: "I haven't heard that hundreds of adults sell cement." Now Fanjiazhuang is a city wall covered with bricks and a 'villa', and the amount of cement is so large, I'm afraid there is no extra to sell it! ”
Ge Lao Er pondered in his heart, a little relieved, and asked again: "Do you say that this cement will be cheaper than Sanhe soil!" ”
Zhong Min looked at Ge Lao Er and said, "This cement looks black and not slippery, it doesn't look like a very expensive thing." But that's not necessarily, this is the house built by the TJ Li family, TJ Li's family! Maybe it's for the good quality of the house and the good use of materials, not necessarily to save money than Sanhe soil! ”
Ge Lao Er had something in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "No! To figure this out, let's go back to the cement workshop and ask? ”
