Wang Yaqiao had just disappeared, and Shanghai was still looking for it over and over again, when suddenly the Russian female tsar Olga came to find her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Honey!"

She had tears in her eyes.

When her husband was assassinated, even a woman could not feel at ease, and the female tsar was no exception, and suddenly lost the interest in aristocratic life, and rushed to China by airship, not even Nanjing, and came directly to Shanghai.

"Haha, I'm fine."

Yang Chao comforted her.

Olga nodded, but was still worried, there were many assassinations of the Russian Tsar, his great-grandfather was assassinated, and his grandfather was like this, even his father was assassinated when he was young, and was stabbed in the head by the Japanese police, and now that Yang Chao was assassinated, how could he not worry.

"Scared the hell out of me."

Origa whimpered.

"Come back to Russia with me, no one wants to kill you anywhere."

Origa said casually.

Immediately, a group of accompanying Chinese officials around him were ashamed, and it was ironic that no one wanted to kill Yang Chao when he arrived in Russia, but he was assassinated in China.

Yang Chao smiled and didn't speak, no one in Russia wants to kill themselves, then it's hell.

It's not that Russia doesn't understand people, many people know in their hearts that Russia has fallen to the current state, and Yang Chao is to blame, but the vast majority of people know that without the support of China, the Russian Empire would not have been able to favor Siberia, and it had long been destroyed by Soviet Russia, so people who understand that people will not make unfavorable moves against Yang Chao, and now in power in the Russian government happens to be a group of people who understand.

However, Olga's innocent words spread and soon appeared in the newspapers, causing a wave of sympathy and sighs from public opinion, as well as condemnation of the Assassins.

"The newspapers are spreading every day that the opposition in China is too strong, so you should not stay in China."

Origa continued to persuade.

Yang Chao's assassination, the whole world is reporting, he is a world celebrity, more famous than any king, the attitude of various countries is different, the official has expressed the condemnation of the assassin, but the public opinion is full of various voices, such as the American newspaper, opened a column to analyze Yang Chao's identity in China, they also believe that Yang Chao is deliberately imitating Washington's approach, but this practice has caused long-term identity recognition difficulties in China, after all, China is not the United States, The traditional monarchical culture is probably the most stubborn in the world.

Americans believe that there will be a long-term process of adaptation to China's direct transition to the presidential system of national identity, after all, Chinese citizens will inevitably become accustomed to being subjects of an empire, and it is inevitable that they will become citizens of a republic. Some newspapers also judged that if Yang Chao had chosen to be king or emperor in the first place, there would also be a group of opponents in China, and even cause a civil war. Because China at this time is also no longer the China it used to be, influenced by Western culture, the opposition to the monarchy is unprecedentedly strong.

This is the influence of a backward country since the 19th century, caused by the invasion of Western culture, just like Russia, the chaos of Russia, which has been manifested at the cultural level is the conflict between Westernization and Russification, with the new forces demanding comprehensive Westernization and the conservative forces insisting on Russian culture.

"It's not that serious, there is opposition in every country, and if you can tolerate the opposition, you can be a generous country."

Yang Chao laughed, not caring at all.

"Since you're here, come with me for a visit to Shanghai, which is one of the most developed areas in China."

Olga could only nod and agree, she was not an assertive person, as long as Yang Chao was in her sight, she would feel at ease.

The Shanghai Municipal Government was very cooperative, and did not hesitate to use official forces to carry out a large number of demolition and relocation work, and transferred a large area of land outside the city wall to the public housing company.

Liang Qichao is on these lands, building public housing in patches, the design of public housing has no characteristics, almost all of them are square buildings, very dense forests in the suburbs close to the city wall, purely the tube building of later generations, 30 or 50 square meters of a room, live in one family, ten households have a public toilet, a building of hundreds of households to build a large public bathroom, but every household has electricity, as long as you pay a fixed fee, you can want to use electricity lighting.

Liang Qichao doesn't care about whether the house looks good or not, he only cares about whether the house is warm or not, as for whether it is artistic, that is a fart, Chinese scholars are pragmatists, and it can be seen from the fact that these public houses he presided over and built do not even have a park.

The residents have no opinion on this, but are quite satisfied with the clean living environment, convenient electricity supply, and the treatment of large families in advance.

It's just that for this power supply problem, Liang Qichao also told Yang Chao a funny story.

"3 taels of silver are fixed every month, and this electricity is not used in vain, so some residents here turn on the lights all day long, and they don't turn off during the day. Later, let's let each family buy their own light bulbs, a money a light bulb can be used for two or three months all the time, if you know how to turn it on and off in time, it can be used for a year. That way, they'll know to turn off the lights. ”

Speaking of this approach, Liang Qichao was quite proud, thinking that he had done big things with small money.

Yang Chao also found it interesting, ordinary people are like this, they love to be greedy and cheap, how much can a light bulb be worth.

"If only everyone had a meter."

Yang Chao said with a smile.

This is fair and reasonable, but the problem is that with the current technology, it is impossible to install electricity meters for every household, not to mention the price of the meter is too expensive, just light one or two light bulbs, the electricity burned is really not easy to be measured by the meter, if the measurement is not accurate, how to pay according to the amount.

When the meter really enters the home, it must be the era when household appliances are greatly popularized, and the electricity consumption surges, not the current era when the average light bulb consumes about 15 watts.

The same goes for telephones, which are all paid for a fixed fee and then used for telephone service. Instead of being billed based on traffic. Water bills are much the same. However, now the reform has been put on the agenda, because the telephone is paid on a monthly basis, many people cling to the phone, and the water is also lavish, and they do not know moderation at all.

"Qi Chaogong is now the largest charter company in China! I am afraid that there are 100,000 tenants in Shanghai. ”

Although there are many problems, there are always more good than bad.

Liang Qichao said with a smile: "This charter man has done it, done it." The old man did it happily. ”

There may not be 100,000 tenants in Shanghai, but it is certain that there are one million in the country, and the ideal of being able to provide cheap and decent housing for millions of people across the country and allowing the homeowners to have their own houses still gives literati a sense of achievement.

It's just: "It seems that there are still a lot of people building shacks?" ”

Yang Chao does not understand this, theoretically speaking, the rent of public housing is not expensive, the wage level in Shanghai's urban area has completely reached the level of one tael per day, as long as you can find a job, 30 taels of silver a month is guaranteed, the rent of public housing is according to this standard, a month is now 10 taels of silver, no more than one-third of the salary level of ordinary wage earners, but can enjoy cheap electricity and more convenient water, but many people still prefer to build a shack on the vacant land, by the river, under the bridge.

In a free metropolis, the emergence of such slums is always inevitable, but now the slums of Shanghai are not only unemployed vagrants, but also a considerable number of migrant workers who earn a lot of money, but they would rather save one-third of their wages and send them back to their hometowns than spend on improving living conditions.

Liang Qichao was also very depressed about this: "Hey, the people who live in public housing now are all middle-class. A large number of decent people who earn a hundred taels of silver a month like to live in public housing, but those who are poor are reluctant to live in it. ”

Yang Chao nodded: "I paid the rent with a salary of 30% a month, and I was really reluctant." The common people are still poor. ”

Liang Qichao nodded, if everyone could earn 100 taels a month, they would not be reluctant to make this money.

Yang Chao said: "There is also a lack of management. In the end, it still needs a place to build privately, but the riverside and the bridge are all public land of the government, which is equivalent to being occupied by the people. The government didn't dare to offend the displaced people, so it could only tolerate this status quo. However, the cross-flow of sewage caused by their illegal construction does not mention the impact on their senses, which has a bad impact on their personal health, and I am afraid that it is an epidemic. And life safety is also not good, it is too easy to fire. ”

Liang Qichao nodded.

Yang Chao said: "So I still have to suggest that the Shanghai government should be rectified, and for those people who are really poor, should they be subsidized or subsidized?" Especially for those who have families, they can be given more subsidies to live in public housing. ”

Liang Qichao stroked his palm and said: "Okay, the way of heaven is not enough to give more than enough, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency." Mr. Yang's remarks are implicitly humane. It's just that in this way, it seems that people will be rushed into my public housing, and I am afraid that this charter tenant will be notorious. ”

Yang Chao laughed.

Origa always followed, and the Shanghai government sent an interpreter to explain to him, Oliga sometimes nodded, sometimes shook her head, not very interested in Shanghai's public housing, which in his opinion had no beauty, and was too far from the Summer Palace where she lived in Beijing.

"Also, Qichao Gong can't just rely on Shanghai government subsidies, and public housing has to find its own way. Isn't the reason why the rent is relatively high now, just to pay off the debt? We can also open up sources and reduce expenditures, and reap the benefits from other places. For example, the construction of some affordable department stores is not only convenient for residents, but also has an income, which can be used to subsidize rent. If the rent can be reduced from 10 taels to 3 taels, I am afraid that even the poorest people will be willing to come and live. ”

Liang Qichao nodded very much in agreement, he really doesn't like to rely on the government to do things, if the public housing can solve the problem by itself, and rely on his own strength to make the people afford to live in the house, he is more willing to accept it.

"Okay, well, they all say that you Yang Chao is a good hand at making money, you have to tell the old man about it."

Liang Qichao is really interested, and he must let Yang Chao give him a prescription, otherwise he will not let Yang Chao go. (To be continued.) )
