Chapter 4 Entrepreneurship Section 28 New House
The next day, instead of traveling to the beach, the family was invited by Zhao's construction company to view the Liu family's new home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Double robbery is too tiring, Liu Yao originally planned to rest for a few days, but knowing that Zhao Shilu was going to discuss the planning of those residences, he was naturally willing to go, and his wife and daughter were very eager to live in a new home, so everyone went to check it out.
The house is not placed in the middle of the hill near the top of the slope, but slightly lower to the left. Liu Yao hesitated for a while when he was positioning the middle of the mountain, whether to put his house in the highest place and do some god-making work. In the end, it was decided to leave the highest place on Liberty Hill to the future parliament, and his house would be used as the presidential palace in the future, and the court would be placed slightly lower on both sides of the parliament. The Chinese still believe in these symbolic things. Since it has been decided to shape civilization, it is necessary to shape a real civilization - a parliamentary democratic republic. Worried that the presidential democratic republic may create a situation of monarchy dominance in China, Liu Yao has already set up a political system in the future to be on par with Britain.
The future Houses of Parliament is still a grove. From the uphill road, the two-story green bricks and black tiles of Liu's house are just against the background of the woods, and the scenery is pleasant
"Green bricks are harder, durable, and corrosion-resistant than red bricks, and are very advanced building materials in this time and space." Liu Yao pointed and introduced. Liu Man didn't have the heart to listen at all, and hurriedly ran towards the new house.
The inside of the new house is less effective than expected, because there is no glass, the wooden lattice doors and windows are covered with translucent silk cloth, and the brightness in the room is not high. The decoration in the room is also very simple, the ceiling with white lime painting is not very white, a bit grayish, and looks dull and old. Fortunately, the layout is very large, each room is spacious and tall, the porch and patio are decent, and the floor and wainscoting are made of fine rosewood, which is so extravagant in the original time and space that it is similar to lighting a cigarette with a banknote, although it is not a common thing in this time and space, that is, it is a solid level. To Liu Yao's surprise, with rosewood, his wife was very satisfied, and she couldn't put it down when she stroked the wainscoting and flooring; There is a bathroom, and my daughter is very satisfied. Although there was no water yet, Liu Man still pulled his younger brother to run under the faucet and watched non-stop.
It was a very primitive tap that was actually a ceramic hose sticking in from a height of 1.8 meters on the wall, usually plugged with a wooden stopper. To get the water out of this pipe, there was a huge project: a dam had to be built in the Shiroku River and the water level could be raised before the water could be diverted to the toilets with an aqueduct. At that time, when the cork is removed, the clear water of the river will flow out, and you will be able to bathe comfortably, which is completely different from the difficult bathing with water that is only 15 centimeters deep in a heavy wooden basin, and the water from the ground will flow into the sewer through a squatting toilet without pouring water.
This simple bathroom has made Liu Man so happy that he only sighs, and keeps urging his father to hurry up and get water. Yao Ying grabbed her crazy son and asked, "What should I do in winter?" Where does hot water come from? ”
Liu Yao pointed to the water pipe and explained: "There is a small room behind the wall where the water pipe is installed, and behind the water pipe is a pool. Now the bottom of the pool is made of stone slabs, but in the future it will be replaced by an iron plate, and you can make a fire underneath it to boil water. It's a hassle, but it's the best thing I can think of. ”
"So we have to have someone to wait on when we take a shower?" Liu Man has always been unaccustomed to the lifestyle of people in this world.
"Not necessarily. You go and light the charcoal fire yourself, and when the temperature is up, you can wash it. When washing, the cold water that comes in and the charcoal heating may create a balance that will form a constant hot water. Liu Yao explained this unreliable principle while taking his family around the future presidential palace.
"This is the study, which will be the Oval Office in the future." Liu Yao opened a door and introduced.
"Isn't this Fang's? Are you going to decorate it round? Yao Ying asked strangely.
"I'm not educated. The Oval Office is the White House where the President of the United States works. Liu Yao joked with a smile.
"The White House? Shall we make our capital here? Shouldn't Guangzhou and Hangzhou be considered? "Liu Man said that Dingdu was like a common thing, and he didn't know that it was a big crime to kill his head.
Liu Yao hurriedly admonished her, popularized some common sense such as rebellion, and then explained: "In the long run, I should go to the mainland." But first of all we are definitely going to be here for a few years, and a whole authority is needed here; It also has to be a model, so it can't be sloppy. Secondly, Guangzhou and Hangzhou and the like, I plan to let them manage themselves. There is no benefit to a large unified country, and it is actually quite good to be divided into several small countries, and everyone acts within the framework of laws and contracts. ”
Yao Ying nodded when he heard this, and said, "The cube allows us to rebuild civilization, and I didn't say how big it is." ”
"Hehe, yes, it's good to protect yourself enough." Liu Man didn't have much ambition either. After saying this, she looked at her younger brother and said jokingly: "I don't know what Liu Ze will think about this matter in the future." ”
Liu Yao laughed and said to his daughter, "Do you remember what happened west of the fairway?" ”
It was an outing in the original world, and the father and daughter talked about the relationship between the waterway and the river on the steamer that the waterway is often the dividing line that divides the territory, and then Liu Yao joked that the waterway is the boundary, and the land in the west is divided among the sons, and the land in the east is divided among the daughters.
"Haha, I want Hainan Island. I love it here. Let my brother take the whole continent. South of the Strait is mine! Liu said with a grin.
"You see, the basic ideas of human beings are all feudal. The whole land, the whole country, is to be considered privately owned. No, we want to make the country truly owned by all the people. Liu Yao said to his wife and daughter, and walked out of the house with his family, and saw Zhao Shilu and his three sons coming towards him.
Zhao Shilu greeted him politely: "Mr. and Mrs. Liu are auspicious." Hello Mr. Liu! Liu Man taught basic mathematics and geometry in school, and several members of the Zhao family were her students, so Lao Zhao was very strict in his disciple salute.
Liu Man took half a step back, stood behind his father, and bowed back seriously. This is the new etiquette advocated by Liu Yao: everyone, regardless of gender, can bow and bow; Women don't have to do the blessings.
Liu Yao looked at his smug daughter and knew when and how to be solemn, and he was very satisfied. exchanged a pleased look with Yao Ying, and said to Zhao Shilu: "General Manager Zhao, go and see your plan." ”
Liu Yao set aside a large open space in front of the presidential palace and the doors of the parliament building and the Supreme Court, first planning public facilities such as hospitals, libraries and schools, and then reserving an open space that could be used as a square. Right next to this vacant lot is the planned residential area.
The residential area is basically a villa, and each family occupies an area of 400 square meters. Ten households are arranged in a 2x5 pattern into a combination of 100 meters in length and 40 meters in width. Between the combinations is enough for two cars to meet the road. The 24 combinations make up a block, with the length of the block being four combinations and the width of six combinations, forming an enclosed space. In the middle four combined areas, no villas are built, but some vacant land and two rows of two-storey buildings close to the road are built. In Liu's plan, these small buildings, which are currently home to bachelors, will be partially turned into commercial buildings, shops and restaurants, serving the residents of a surrounding block, and those vacant lots will become parks or sports fields. The sketch of the entire block Liu Yao had already been handed over to Zhao's construction company.
The white lime marks the boundaries of the land and stretches to the end of the sight. Zhao En handed over a drawing with contour lines and precise plans. Liu Yao saw that the drawings were very modern, accurate and standardized, and he said who drew the drawings. Zhao En pointed to Jiao Huang, who was slender and tall in a group of people in the distance, and said with emotion, everything must be done specifically, this Jiao Huang specializes in drawing maps, and he is better than everyone else.
The crowd in the distance is holding a pole and a straight line, and the delineated area is still extended, and Jiao Huang is very conspicuous in the crowd. Liu Yao walked over.
Jiao Huang was directing the people holding the pole to move, shouting hoarsely: "Left! Left again! As soon as he looked up, he saw Liu Yao coming over, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Liu Yao also asked: "Are all the drawings on Freedom Mountain drawn by you?" Jiao Huang nodded and swallowed. Liu Yao smiled and said, "Drink some water." Jiao Huang hurriedly untied the bamboo tube around his waist, raised his head and drank.
"What is the difference in elevation of this block from south to north?" Liu Yao asked, holding the drawings.
"It's not the same everywhere. The height difference at the east end is larger, about 4.5 meters, and the west head is smaller, close to 3 meters. Jiao Huang pointed to the contour line on the drawing and said in a hoarse voice.
"I don't see you remember these numbers, they are all from the picture." Liu Yao asked with interest.
"Mr. Hui, I can't remember so many numbers. And this diagram is very easy to use, you can see any number at a glance, and you don't have to memorize it. Jiao Huang replied with some apprehension.
"You're right, this diagram is meant to make it clear to all the numbers. But it would be nice if you could still keep the numbers in your head. This mental power is the same as physical strength, and it will increase with more practice. You think, if the height difference between the two ends of the plot is too big, you'll probably want to move the location of the block, and then you need to have the basic numbers of the whole situation in your head. ”
Jiao Huang nodded thoughtfully and replied, "I didn't think about it that much, I just aligned the top of the mountain that Mr. had located." Liu Yao smiled, thinking that symmetry in this seems to have always been the favorite way of Chinese, and said: "You can make red and yellow flags, raise the red flag to the left, raise the yellow flag to the right, raise the high to walk more, and raise the low to go less." ”
Jiao Huang slapped his thigh and connected: "Make!" Make! That's a great way to do it! Sir, why do you have so many good ways? ”
Liu Yao smiled and said, "I also learned from others. All methods are taught to you, as long as you are willing to learn. Do a good job, finish drawing the map of Meijia Village, and I will count it as a big work for you. Jiao Huang even thanked him, and the people next to him also thanked him.
had already patted Jiao Huang's shoulder and was about to leave in style, but when he heard these praises, Liu Yao walked back and said to everyone: "If Jiao Huang can't draw, I won't pay him." If he draws well, he should be paid. He doesn't need to thank anyone. Remember, I'm not a good person, and I won't do relief for nothing. I'll only give money to those who have the ability. Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, he turned around again and left in style.
The father and son of the Zhao family have been following Liu Yao, and when they saw that the planning and site selection had been approved, they asked, "Then we will start building a house." Where are you going to build it first? ”
"Let's build those two rows of small buildings first. One row is used as a hospital, and the other row allows people to have a place to live. Liu Yao pointed to the center of the block on the map and said.
"After building these two rows of small buildings, will we start building houses?" Zhao Enzhong asked.
"Yes. Start building on the edge of the small building, so that the people who live in the small building can see how these houses are built brick by brick. Seriously, the small building is good enough, and I'm afraid they'll be reluctant to move into the house. The rent of a house is definitely more expensive than a small building, and Liu Yao worries that people will be willing to save money and squeeze into a small building.
"You're the landlord, you don't rent it to them." Zhao Rushan interjected next to him.
"I'm afraid it won't work. The house is not rented, but people are driven into the open air. However, we can say in advance that this house will only be rented for one year, and after one year, it will be repossessed. Lao Zhao, you discuss with Lao Mei how to solve this problem. Liu Yao waved his hand and threw the problem to the two partners.
"I would like to ask the gentleman, whether the price of renting or selling has been calculated." Zhao Shilu asked with a deep groan.
"The price hasn't been worked out yet. I'm thinking, if you rent, the room in the small building is 10 catties of food per month, and the house is 30 catties of food per month, do you think it's okay? ”
"This price is not high, if it is a small worker, 3 catties of grain a day, 90 catties a month, renting a house is a little expensive, renting a room to feed a family of 3 or 4, it's about the same. Similarly, a big worker, or two people in the family who work small jobs, have 150 or 180 catties of grain a month, and it is feasible to rent a house to support a family of 5 or 6. Zhao Shilu calculated the account and felt that the price was indeed not high, so he couldn't help but say another testimonial such as Mr. Kindness.
Hearing these praises, Liu Yao was a little embarrassed, and replied honestly: "I'm not dedicated to doing good, I just need manpower, and I want them to settle down here easily." Prices will inevitably rise in the future. ”
Zhao Rushan nodded and said, "The rent is cheap, but the selling price can't be ambiguous." It must be a cost plus a profit of 30%. We have not counted the material cost of charcoal and soil, nor the land money, and if we do not add 30%, it will definitely be a loss-making transaction. ”
Liu Yao asked suspiciously, "Or do you want to add more?" Fifty percent? ”
Zhao Shilu shook his head and said: "Now it is not certain that it will be thirty or fifty percent, and when the cost is calculated, it will be compared with the current residential cost." I think it's three percent more expensive than the current house. The house is so much better, it doesn't make sense if it's not expensive. ”
