When the concubines heard that they were going to live here today, they were all overjoyed. Cheng Yue asked Dingniang to assign a room to the concubines, and he went back to the big bed in the bedroom to find Guan Sheng.
Guan Sheng had just woken up, lying on the bed and still coming back to his senses. Cheng Yue told her to stay here tonight, and Guan Sheng liked it too. Cheng Yue doted on her, so he let her live with Guan Gao in the next room.
The concubines divided the rooms lively, and Dingniang sent someone to pick up the concubines who were working outside here, and sent someone to Yaleju to order meals. When these things are done, it is almost dusk.
Cheng Yue couldn't wait to ask the servant woman to fill the large bathtub in the bathroom, and as soon as Dingniang was done, he called Dingniang, Jin'er, Yu'er, Zhang Shufang, and Ye Yiyi into the bathroom.
Cheng Yue and Ding Niang were playing in the big bathtub, and after playing for a while, Cheng Yue couldn't help but press Ding Niang to the side of the bathtub and enjoy her carcass to the fullest. The other four concubines waited on the side, and then offered Cheng Yue to enjoy them one by one.
The concubines outside only heard a burst of moaning and rushing water from inside, so that Su Rong and other concubines, who had just come back, couldn't visit the bathroom, so they had to wait until Cheng Yue came out before they could go in.
Cheng Yue happily had dinner with the concubines on the newly made turntable table, and the concubines were full of praise, wanting to use this kind of dining table at home, of course this kind of trivial matter is no problem.
The concubines in the bathroom have been used one after another, it is convenient and clean, and the concubines like it very much. Ye Qian'er boldly proposed that she wanted to pretend at home, and Cheng Yue thought about it and agreed. The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion itself has to live for a long time, and it can also drive the construction of sewers in Lin'an.
At night. Cheng Yue also summoned Guan Gao, Wan'er, Gillian, Su Rong, Hu Xiuxiu and Ye Qian'er to sleep. The newly made soft bed is impressive. So that the pipe next door couldn't sleep at all, and there was no piano to play, so he had to paint in the room. As a result, a good work was painted, and it was auctioned for a few hundred years later.
Early the next morning, the concubines returned to the house, and Cheng Yue specially left the two ladies of Song Luo to receive the civil and military ministers who came like a tide with him.
His own house, of course, can't be seen. Feel free to visit the other houses. All the courtiers who came were dumbfounded, impressed by the sophistication and convenience of the house. Compared with this house, the one who lives now is a kennel! What's more, the Governor's villa is right next to it, and if you can live next to the Governor, it's a good thing to be seen a few more times.
Without waiting for Cheng Yue to speak, the ministers wanted to place an order, and there were only less than 30 villas for takeaway, how precious!
Cheng Yue smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, the price of this house is different. But they were all very expensive, and the cheapest one cost 20,000 taels of silver. I have to pay another 200 taels of silver every year for the maintenance of the house and the road, please think clearly. ”
Ho——! So expensive? In the Song Dynasty, the house in Lin'an was the most expensive, but 10,000 taels of silver could already buy a five-entry mansion and complete all kinds of servants to live a good life in a few years, which shows that Cheng Yue's price is high.
The ministers were taking cold air, only to hear Zhang Shijie say: "Governor, I want two sets!" Just the two closest to you! ”
Before Zhang Shijie's words fell, Xiuwang Zhao and Mule and Rongwang Zhao and Rui said almost at the same time: "Old decay also needs two sets!" The two kings looked at each other and laughed.
Sun Huchen, Yang Liangjie, Liu Qi, Yu Ruqi, Su Liuyi, Xie Tang, Chang Nan and other high-ranking officials close to Cheng Yue have made moves, their families are rich, and they can still afford this money, not to buy two sets, but to buy one. Such a good house, and being close to Cheng Yue, the so-called daughter buys a house, and tens of thousands of dollars buy a neighbor, and it is a fool not to buy it! The best is Wen Tianxiang, he can live in Cheng Yue's house at any time, and he doesn't have to spend a penny, just look at it happily on the side.
After the high-ranking officials and dignitaries close to Cheng Yue were contracted, the remaining houses were even less pitiful, and the ministers were red-eyed in order to buy the house, and they kept raising the price to buy it. Cheng Yue didn't get the highest price, so he chose a few of the officials who wanted to buy a house, and sold the last few houses.
It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, Yale Ju has five villas next to it, which can be rented at any time and enjoy the best house in the world.
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong did not come, but sent Jia Yuqing and Wu Jun to observe and see if the house built by Cheng Yue was really as he said.
The two were desperate when they saw the house, but they both knew in their hearts that it was impossible for Cheng Yue to sell the house to them. Seeing that Cheng Yue sold the house at a sky-high price, it is indeed as he said at the beginning, he built a house, not only did he not lose money, but he could also make money. You must know that the high-rise building has not been sold yet, and if you sell it again, you can make more money.
The more they looked at it, the more they blushed, and they also wanted to find the craftsman who built the house in the first place to build the house for them. Later, they did look for it, but the craftsmen were very busy, and they knew that the two were political enemies of the Grand Governor, and they were unwilling to build a house for them, so their dreams of making a fortune were in vain.
After selling the villa, Cheng Yue has recovered all the investment and made a big profit. When he brought the ministers to the building, many ministers immediately wanted to buy a single room here, but unfortunately Cheng Yue did not sell it, and he wanted to make this the first high-end hotel in China.
The rooms in the building are very beautiful, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows are even more admired by the ministers who are accustomed to small windows, so that the winter does not affect the lighting but also takes care of the warmth, the glass is really a good thing.
Cheng Yue slowly took the ministers to visit, all the way up to the twelfth floor, which is the most luxurious place in the whole building, there is no carved beams and painted things, the lines are simple and bright, bright and warm. In the large living room, there are several leather-covered soft benches, and there is a larger and longer balcony outside, where a few delicate coffee tables and some chaise longues and soft chairs are placed, and you can sit very comfortably and look out at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
When the ministers walked here, they all sat down one after another, after all, they had climbed eleven floors. Take a break while enjoying the view from the heights.
Zhao Youwei sighed: "Although it is tiring to be so high, this is indeed a fairyland on earth, and the talent of the Grand Governor is really breathtaking." ”
The ministers nodded their heads. Cheng Yue's architecture was different from all the pavilions they had seen, more convenient and comfortable, so that people could enjoy it. In particular, the design of tap water and sewers solves the biggest inconvenience of high-rise buildings, allowing them to see what Cheng Yue said will look like in the future society, and they can't help but feel envious.
Cheng Yue said: "If you like the layout here, I can ask craftsmen to renovate your homes in order to install faucets and sewers, but this is a long-term project, which requires planning for the entire Lin'an, and the cost is also large, and you need to support you." ”
Zhao and Rui said: "Don't worry, as long as the governor wants to do it, we have nothing to do." ”
Zhao Youwei also said: "We are not as far-sighted as the Metropolitan Governor, if the Metropolitan Governor thinks that this is a good job, we have no objection at all." ”
The ministers also nodded when they heard this, and they also admired Cheng Yue's foresight in doing things, and this matter was indeed a good thing.
Cheng Yue waved his hand firmly, clenched his fists and said: "Okay, this will be a century-old project, Shanghai is already doing it, Lin'an is also going to start, and the people in the future will be grateful for the decision we made today!" ”
The ministers are very excited, the crowd is passionate, who doesn't want to do something that can last for a hundred years?
Cheng Yue later established the Engineering Institute, which specialized in urban planning and construction, and became an important institution that changed the world.
Since they can't buy a house, the ministers want to renovate their houses or build a small new house at home, and there are no sewer facilities for the time being. The furniture in the room is good, and the ministers want it. Cheng Yue originally wanted to promote new houses, so he ordered the two ladies to write down what the ministers wanted, and he would order Ye Feng and Zhang Shirong to take responsibility for it and open up another source of income for him.
The ministers immediately surrounded the two ladies, knowing that the two ladies had a prominent position in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and did not dare to make a mistake, so they explained their requirements to the two ladies in a proper manner, so that they could design and construct them in the future.
Cheng Yue accompanied the important ministers to sit down on the terrace and enjoy the infinite scenery of the West Lake. Wen Tianxiang sat next to Cheng Yue, chatted with Cheng Yue for a while, and then whispered: "Virtuous son-in-law, there is something I want to settle before you leave." ”
Cheng Yue glanced at Su Liuyi with his spare light, and saw that he was only looking at the scenery and did not look this way, and also said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, please speak." ”
Wen Tianxiang saw that he glanced at Su Liuyi, and knew that Cheng Yue already knew what he was going to ask, so he was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Since Dingniang married a virtuous son-in-law, Liu Niang, Huanniang, and Prison Niang have been favored by many people. All three sisters were over sixteen years old, and it was time to get married. But now their marriage is related to a virtuous son-in-law, and I can't do it hastily and don't even ask. So I want to ask the virtuous son-in-law, I wonder if the virtuous son-in-law has any entrustment for their marriage? ”
Cheng Yue frowned slightly, and said that Liu Niang's affairs alone are troublesome enough, why did she add Huanniang and Prison Niang? It seems that the daughter of the Wen family is really in demand.
Cheng Yue knew that he couldn't ignore it, and asked Wen Tianxiang: "What are your father-in-law's plans?" ”
Wen Tianxiang said: "Master Su Liuyi Su wants to marry a stepwife, and he has taken a fancy to Liu Niang, I think now that Su Liuyi has joined your disciples, it is better to kiss and kiss." Besides, the Su family is a famous family, and their character and talents are the best choice, and being the stepwife is not a grievance Liu Niang. Huanniang I want to marry a nephew of His Royal Highness King Rong, as for the prison mother, I am hesitating between the grandson of His Royal Highness King Xiu and the grandson of the former Prime Minister Wu Jian Wu, and I have not decided for the time being. ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Father-in-law, this old father-in-law deserves the scenery, the one who comes to ask for marriage is either a clan or a family, and the worst is the prime minister's family." ”
Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, don't make fun of me, say it quickly, these families are waiting, I don't dare to agree if you don't nod." It doesn't matter if you say it directly, I will choose someone else, and I can't always drag it out and not reply.
