Chapter 303: The Villa by the Eight Rivers
The owner of Zhang Guoan originally wanted to develop a large trading station in the original Singapore, and the geographical location was indeed good. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, the reality is that except for the Great Song Dynasty, cities with a population of hundreds of thousands on this sea route are all considered big cities...... The population growth rate in the Badaohe area is still very slow, where is he going to get people?!
A housekeeper sent by the Lu Wende military group in the Xiangfan region was named Lu Xiong, but he was dumbfounded by the development of the Badaohe region!
Where did the Badaohe area develop so fast?!
The personnel sent by the Lu family before mainly wanted to make mule and horse cement and pozzolane cement, which was really for the sake of the military, without the two cities of Xiangfan, the Lu family group would be wiped out, which everyone knew well.
After seeing the cement thing, Lu Wende's envoy immediately sent out a box soldier to hurry up and burn it!
There is also limestone in Xiangfan, Hubei, and there is also coal production, but firing real cement is also a technical job, otherwise it can only be lime.
Dasong lime is not lacking, but this thing is not resistant to water erosion...... Therefore, Zhang Guoan's island master can only take out these two things to deal with them first, but fortunately, they are easy to fire.
Zhang Guoan had to convince a warlord like others, if he wanted something, where would there be a concept of cost.
Thousands of people were transported down from the Yangtze River, even with the whole family of craftsmen, as well as the necessary living materials, and there was no commercial planning spirit.
Can you go back empty?! What a waste of capacity......
Some of these ships were loaded with some cargo...... Haiyan was swept away, and it was called military salt, and there was no need to pay all kinds of taxes, and the same was true for other goods, which were all military supplies.
Because all he sends are warships, it's no wonder that there is no concept of cost...... Stay in Xiangfan City. It's also these expenses, and they can't add a few coins to a trip to the sea, so they can be generous.
The goods shipped back made the businessmen in the Lu family group very happy. They immediately invited the envoy to meet with Lu Wende, and when they told him about the business situation, Lu Wende was very happy, well, there was still money to earn for armaments...... After all, Lu Wende is a warlord from a business background, and he is the first in military quartermasters, but he is not against money second, he has embezzled military funds, but he was just starting out at that time. has no capital, and now that it has developed, he has even done the thing of using his family's money as military expenses first, and then waiting for the Great Song Dynasty government to compensate him.
When they began to produce the pozzolana kilns in the north of the island and the Romanesque kilns in the south, the first ships rushed back, accompanied by some plasterers.
When those plasterers came with their families, they thought that their fate was tragic, and they were going to live in a deserted place with their families.
But it's really here. It feels okay, the money here is easy to earn!
At the beginning. The owner of Zhang Guoan Island was not willing to watch their craftsmen sit idle and wait for the cement to be produced, so he immediately let them devote themselves to the boom of building the Badaohe area!
Of course, the reason is to learn how to use cement and concrete, and to give them the money to start working.
This made those craftsmen happy, and the Lu family had already paid their wages in the Xiangfan area...... After all, Da Song has not yet made people work without spending money, but it is more or less a problem.
The wages here are high!
So. Without any mobilization, the craftsmen served the owner of Zhang Guoan wholeheartedly.
At that time, the Lu family group had not taken this place seriously, so there was no one in charge, and Liang Xin, the big shopkeeper of the Lu family, followed him to take a turn here. After the order was given, he went back with the merchant ship.
It wasn't until the cement kiln they built began to produce and a large number of them began to be shipped back that the Lujia Group realized that this cement was really inseparable......
They immediately began to send more people here, and also sent a housekeeper, Lu Xiong, to manage the production here.
Butler Lu Xiong really enjoyed it, as soon as he arrived here, before he could settle down, he asked to see the owner of Zhang Island, saying that he wanted to build a castle, the style, similar to that of the estuary...... Once the head of the Lu family came, it was also convenient to live.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, wanted to laugh in his heart, he didn't think about it for the head of the Lu family, he wanted to live by himself...... If you don't look down on your own courtyard-style cement brick house, you must think that the area is small and not magnificent.
However, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, is generally supportive of such people, as long as you spend your own money and materials and want to live a luxurious life, he absolutely agrees!
The upper-level figures of the Great Song Dynasty, especially those big businessmen, just couldn't find anything to consume, so the Great Song Dynasty government really didn't have much of a tax collection channel, and the capital flow rate was too poor.
However, the celluloid glass pieces that are constantly produced in the Badaohe area are now counted as a high-end consumer product, and the amount of their own output will be digested by the Great Song market, and the Great Song government will collect taxes...... The same is true for other products.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, immediately designated him an area of 2,000 square meters, which is the upper reaches of the Badao River, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant...... It's a little further from the main living quarters, but it's beautiful, it's quiet, and most importantly, it's far from the smoke-filled factories.
Butler Lu Xiong liked this place at first sight, he had a four-wheeled/large carriage, and even the coachman and horses were brought by himself, so he was not afraid of going far.
As soon as he gave the order, he began to draw people to build, and the cement castle was built quickly, and more than a month later, a three-story villa with a construction area of more than 800 square meters was built.
However, this guy spent more than four months just on the renovation.
He must have a yard, and all the bricks and tiles he needs are transported from Ezhou; In terms of carpenter's work, the carpenters here are all rough carpenters, and they specially found fine carpenters from Ezhou, as well as painters, and there are as many as eight kinds of paints used...... even recruited stonemasons who specialize in treating rockeries and waters.
In short, he wants the mountains and rivers outside the courtyard, and the enjoyment of the mountains and rivers inside the courtyard.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, calculated for him, at this time, the land in the Great Song Dynasty was not valuable, and only the houses in the big cities were worth much, and they were even less valuable here...... But after his decoration, 20,000 yuan is worth it!
After the construction was completed, they also came to invite the owner of Zhang Island and the deacons and stewards of some large merchants to warm the house...... He set up a wine banquet in the garden he had built.
Of course, he's going to have to say something like an opening remark...... Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, didn't want to hear it, so he whispered to Jingjing: "Or, let's get one like this too?" You look at the carved beds in them, and you know that our Simmons mattresses are ......"
Quietly said: "He may be a small person in the Lu family, the first time he is released, let's be more public...... I don't like two people living in such a big house. ”
Zhang Guoan knew that what she said was true.
In that world, she always wanted to live in a 100-square-meter house...... It's a pity that he has never been satisfied, and the two of them are committed to a house of more than 30 square meters, but fortunately there are no children, and they don't feel any crampedness. (To be continued.) )
