Chapter 223 Integrated Community?
The people in the hall all looked at Hu Ye strangely, because Hu Ye's words were a little abrupt.
The reason why these people came here was because Hu Ye drove away those who wanted to break ground on Qingtian Street. Now that Hu Ye wants to break ground on Qingtian Street, is it possible to be like those people? Just drove away competitors?
As soon as Hu Ye saw the faces of these people, he knew that he must have been misunderstood, so he hurriedly came out to clarify.
"Folks, don't get me wrong, what I said about the big renovation is not to build this place into a prosperous trouble, but to build it into a landmark area of Nanjing City, which can also be said to be a comprehensive community." Hu Ye said loudly.
"Integrated community?"
It was the first time for a large group of people to hear this word, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange, and a few people discussed it.
"Young Master, what is a comprehensive community? Is it different from Xinchang Street? An old man asked, what he was most concerned about was whether this Hu Ye would be like Xinchang Street, and the ordinary people who came to them would be driven away after it was built.
"A comprehensive community, to put it bluntly, is that there is everything, such as schools, hospitals, theaters, markets, and so on. The comprehensive community I want to build is naturally very different from Xinchang Street, which is prosperous and only allowed dignitaries to move in. After the renovation of Qingtian Street, anyone can move in. And you, as the veteran of Qingtian Street, naturally have the right of permanent residence in Qingtian Street. Hu Ye said.
When the people heard this, they immediately began to discuss, because this is not something that will be effective in a while. Who knows if Hu Ye will change his hexagram after the Dao. They are ordinary people who are not capable at all, even if Hu Ye changes his hexagram, they are powerless.
"Young master, what you said is not unreasonable, but we are doing well now, what good is it for us that this community is built?" An old man asked.
Hu Ye smiled when he heard this, then stood up and came to the side of a little hairy child.
"Little brother, how old are you?" Hu Ye asked in a low voice.
That little hairy kid didn't know what an official was. I saw that Hu Ye was a few years older than himself. Still a child, without a little fear, he replied in a milky voice, "I'm seven years old." ”
"Do you have a book now?" Hu Ye asked again.
The kid shook his head.
Immediately, Hu Ye asked a few more children. The result is: None of the children on this street are reading.
"Folks. Knowledge changes destiny, this is an eternal truth. Now there are more than 30 children on Qingtian Street, but they can't go to private school. If they can't read, when they grow up, they will have to be farmers for generations, just like you. Do you want to see your children go on like this? Hu Ye asked loudly.
A kind of people bowed their heads and pondered, their Qingtian Street is remote, and they are all poor families, and they have no money to let their children go to private schools, so it is better to stay and help them do farm work, so there is no one to read here for ten years. The person who said a few words of crepe just yesterday was a child more than 20 years ago.
"Young master, it's not that we don't want to, it's that we can't do anything." An old man sighed, who doesn't want their children to get ahead?
"yes"
"Then I ask you, what if you are sick?" Hu Ye asked again.
"Go to the back mountain and find some herbs, and heal yourself if it's not serious." One of the people replied.
"What if it's a disease?"
"This ......" the man was speechless, if he got a disease, he couldn't afford to hire Langzhong, so he had to wait at home to die.
"The community I want to build will have a college, a hospital, and your children will go to study for free, and you will be treated for free. All I need is your consent. And to build this community siege, I will not let you spend a penny. What you have to do is to write with me, ask the emperor to petition, and use this Qingtian Street as a pilot. Hu Ye said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, all the people were overjoyed, and it didn't cost money to study, or it didn't cost money to see a doctor, how good it was.
"But young master, these lands are not ours, do you have so much money to buy them? Moreover, it takes a lot of money to build schools and hospitals, and we ordinary people don't have that much money. A shrewd little old man asked aloud.
Hu Ye smiled, when they said this, they basically agreed, so he said, "It doesn't cost money to buy land, the whole world is not the king's land, as long as the emperor agrees, this street will naturally be left to us." As for the money to build schools and hospitals, don't worry, I will naturally find a way, and I will definitely not let you pay. ”
The people are still a little foggy, is there really such a good thing in this world?
"I have a letter here, as long as you put your handprints on it, I will hand it over to the emperor tomorrow, as long as the emperor approves it, we can start to build." Hu Ye said and took out an official document from his arms, in fact, he had been planning for a long time, from the beginning when he came to this nameless mansion, he saw that the surroundings were so desolate, and he had already had this idea.
These ordinary people are illiterate, and when they pick up the official documents, their eyes are black, and they suddenly realize the importance of reading, an old man took the lead and pressed the handprint, and the rest of the people followed suit, and even a few little hairy children joined in the fun.
Almost after pressing the mudra, the dinner party was almost ready.
The yard was full of tables brought from various households, and big fish and meat were served, and the bear children couldn't wait for a long time, so they broke the chicken legs and gnawed them.
"Seventh Uncle, do you think this Hu Ye will pit us, this is a Hongmen banquet?" At a table, a middle-aged man asked an old man.
The old man glared at him with disdain, thinking that this kid didn't even know what the Hongmen Banquet was, how could he be his nephew.
"If this is a Hongmen banquet, do you think you are Liu Bang, and you can attract so much attention from him? If he really wants to harm us, he can directly find someone to start construction, and we don't need to agree at all. I see, he really wants to build that kind of integrated community. The old man touched his beard, looked at Hu Ye who was playing with the children at another table and said.
The middle-aged man did not answer, but gnawed on the pig's trotters by himself.
"Eat, eat, eat! I can't eat you! The old man blew his beard and glared, and said viciously.
As for Saren and Tsing Yi, they have already been in harmony with these peasant women, they are all hard-working children, and naturally they have a common language with these rural women, so they can't be intimate when they cook a meal.
As for Lao Qian and Yin Changlong, they seem to be a little uncomfortable, one is too scholarly, the other is too brave, just stay aside and drink alcohol.
"Old Qian, did your young master drink too much, what kind of community to build? How much money does he have? Yin Changlong poured a glass of wine in one gulp and asked Lao Qian suspiciously.
"Money? My young master will not be short of money. Lao Qian smiled, a piece of pork liver and white wine, the spicy pork liver and wine made Lao Qian intoxicated. (To be continued......)
