Chapter 114 Asking What Love Is in the World (Part 8)
If an ordinary person announced this rule, the villagers would probably explode. Do you care if I build a house for myself? The trees grow in the wild and there is no owner. Do you care?
But Sister Chen kept a straight face. This was the Young Master's strict order, but anyone who didn't comply would be expelled from Jiangtan Village. You need to know that the entire Jiangtan Village was won by the Young Master with one hundred thousand taels of silver!
The order announced by the young master is nonsense? I obey the order!
As a result, Jiangtan started a new layout. Two hundred veterans came forward to demarcate the area for building houses. Each household was marked, how to lay the foundation, how to open the windows, how to build the courtyard, all according to the drawings, and the courtyard was constructed.
There is a kitchen, a vegetable patch, a latrine, a pig, sheep and chicken coop...
The river beach is very large, 40 miles long, and is backed by Meishan Mountain and Stone Mountain. Therefore, the homestead allocated to each household is very large, about 300 square meters, with the yard occupying half of it.
As soon as these layouts came out, the refugees were stunned. Is this going to make them rich landlords? The bosses in their hometown were just like this. A house with four or five rooms for a family was too exaggerated. In the past, they were all two wealthy people.
There are rooms, one for men and one for women.
In addition, there are actually coops for pigs, sheep and chickens. Who among the refugees can afford to raise these livestock and poultry?
But Sister Chen told everyone that the young master said to prepare them first. Whether they can actually raise these depends on the hands of the villagers.
Everyone's enthusiasm was high again. At once, half of the reeds on the river beach were cut off. Everyone was ready to use the reeds as a roof when the house was built.
Sister Chen didn't pay attention for a while. When she saw it a few days later, she found that all the reeds were gone and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Hurry up and give another order, folks, stop cutting reeds. The master said that all houses will not be roofed with reeds, and all roofs will be made of cement boards!
The villagers were shocked. They didn’t even use tiles? They just used cement boards?
This house needs at least twelve cement pillars, and how much cement is needed to support a terrifyingly heavy cement board on top? Besides, this one is not strong enough. If the pillar collapses, the whole family will die. In addition,
, what are the walls around the house made of? Wooden boards or thatch? Young Master is not allowed to cut down trees, the thatch is gone now...
This question was put in front of Sister Chen, and she felt numb. She might as well go back and ask the young master.
After listening to Sister Chen's report, Lin Su slapped herself on the head: "Damn it! I forgot something."
"what?"
"Brick!" Lin Su said: "Let's go to the river beach and open a factory!"
When he went there, a gray brick factory was opened on the site. There was all the sand in the river. He scooped up the sand and burned it at high temperatures. It turned into bricks as hard as stones, which were much better than the gray bricks used by wealthy households in the city.
fine.
Lin Su knocked on the gray bricks: "Okay, the problem is solved, let's use these gray bricks to make walls. Sister Chen, you can take care of the pricing of gray bricks. You must ensure that the factory is profitable and that people can use them."
I can afford it. As for the management of the factory, Sister Chen, please make up your mind and let those uncles and uncles implement it."
Once the gray bricks are out, the village will look like a village.
Such a difficult problem could be solved within a few hours after Lin Su arrived.
Not to mention that everyone in Jiangtan regards him as a god, even Sister Chen, a student of Qianjimen, also regards the young master as a god.
"Sir, I still don't quite understand why you have to let the villagers build houses according to the area you designated. Also, what do you keep these trees for?"
"This is called planning! A beautiful countryside must have several elements: first, convenient transportation, second, beauty and cleanliness, third, reasonable layout, and fourth, livable and agricultural. If you let them build their own houses, you can be sure
Yes, in a few days, houses will be built randomly, roads will be crowded, and it will be a mess. As for trees, they are used to soothe the mind. A village without trees has no soul. Don’t you think that one day in the future, we will be here?
Isn't it a wonderful thing to walk hand in hand on the wide road and watch the sunset and the leaves falling all around?"
Lin Su grabbed her hand.
Sister Chen gave him a gentle look. There was no one around, so she let him hold her hand.
The two of them went up the river embankment. In front of them was the rolling Yangtze River, and behind them was the bustling labor scene.
"Sir, can this embankment stop next year's flood?"
"I hope it can! Otherwise, the trauma to the villagers will be too great."
"No matter what, you did your best after all." Sister Chen said softly: "You have to review your homework. The imperial examination will come as soon as it comes."
"Don't worry, my second brother is confident now, so I won't mind. It's getting dark soon, let's go home."
The two horses galloped across the river embankment and returned to Lin Mansion.
It was an extremely cold night. When Lin Su walked out of the warm stove room, snow began to fall outside.
He raised his gaze and said, "Girl Huaping, it's snowing, is it cold? How about you find a decent house to live in, and ask Sister Chen to install a stove for you..."
Qiushui Huaping's response came from the attic: "Midnight is coming soon, let's talk about serious things later..."
Holy shit! What do you mean? Things in Midnight are not serious?
There is really no privacy in this yard.
Sister Chen probably hid it from Lu Yi and Xing'er these days, but she still didn't hide it from her.
He entered the room, waited for a moment, and a figure flashed in the room. Sister Chen appeared in front of him, smiled tenderly at him, and began to undress.
"Sister Chen, this baby of yours is a little bigger than before."
"Do not talk!"
Lin Su was in great spirits tonight and was playing slowly, but Sister Chen was slowly dying. Her long-term reserve and calmness were destroyed by him...
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
In the early morning, Lin Su opened the window and saw heavy snow falling in the air. The woods outside were all covered in heavy snow, and the entire Haining City was covered in snow.
The yard was also snow-white. Green clothes, wearing a thick white coat, were spinning in circles in the snow, shouting happily, and occasionally throwing a snowball down the corridor. Over there, Liu Xing'er was already there.
She has been hit by her several times. The yellow clothes are covered with snow, and there is snow on Sister Chen's body. It's not that Sister Chen can't dodge, she just doesn't hide. Occasionally she fights back, and a ball of snowflakes explodes above the head of the green clothes.
, making her scream again and again...
"Green clothes, why are you so excited?" Lin Su smiled.
Green Yi shouted: "It's snowing, our great talent should write a poem quickly..."
Lin Su came as soon as he opened his mouth: "Writing poetry? What a simple thing? Listen up...the world is the same, there is a big hole in the well, a yellow dog is white on the body, and a white dog is swollen on the body."
As soon as this poem came out, the three women were all stunned.
Liu Xing'er was a little confused: "Luyi, this poem is weird, is it good?"
Luyi gritted his teeth: "What's so good? He called us dogs!"
Myolie Liu looked at the yellow clothes on her body, then at the white clothes on the green clothes, and smiled, and Sister Chen also laughed...
Green Yi jumped behind Lin Su and stuffed a handful of snow into Lin Su's clothes: "If you dare to call me a dog, I will make you swell too..."
"Surrender, I admit my mistake..."
"You can't just admit your mistake with your mouth..."
"Shall I write a serious song for you?"
"……good!"
Lu Yi stopped fussing and stepped away. The other two women stared at him with bright eyes.
Lin Su scratched his head: "Is it really written?"
"You promised Lu Yi!" Sister Chen smiled softly: "Lu Yi, go and get breakfast for the young master. See if he is full of poetry after eating your breakfast. I will give you a colorful poem."
"Okay!" Lu Yi ran out of the yard happily.
Lin Su looked at Sister Chen and then at Xing'er: "Why do I think you wanted to test me this morning?"
"I'm going to test you! Let's see if you still dare to bully others..." Bullying, these three words came out of Sister Chen's mouth, and they had a special charm. Who are they bullying? It seems to be talking about Lu Yi and Xing'er, but also like saying
She herself, yesterday, he played like that...
Breakfast was brought, and Lin Su sat in the pavilion and ate slowly. The three beauties were staring at him. Even the autumn water painting screen in the attic was paying close attention.
Can this monster really write colorful poems in such a short time?
This is much shorter than the scientific examination time...
He was almost done eating when Sister Chen spoke up: "Young Master usually drinks some morning tea after breakfast. I'll get you some tea..."
Luyi and Liu Xing'er stared at her together, "Sister Chen, you are a traitor, are you going to relax the conditions for him?"
But when Lin Su raised his hand, the golden paper came out!
"Ask what love is in the world, and it will tell you whether life and death are together..."
The first sentence he wrote was filled with colorful rays of light. The seven-colored rays of light filled the air in circles from the tip of his pen. In the snow, the sky was instantly filled with rainbows, like a dream.
"We are traveling all over the world, how many times has Lao Chi been exposed to the cold and heat?
Joy is joyful, parting is painful,
There are even more idiotic children among them.
You should have something to say,
Thousands of miles of clouds,
Thousands of mountains with dusk snow,
To whom does the shadow go?
…”
Green clothes are crazy.
Looking at the thousands of miles of clouds and dusk snow on thousands of mountains in front of her, tears filled her eyes.
Liu Xing'er stood blankly behind Lin Su, Young Master, who do you miss? Sun Zhen? Sun Zhen, although you have left, but you can exchange such affectionate words for Young Master, you will have no regrets in this life.
Sister Chen didn't know when she grabbed Lu Yi's hand. There was warmth flowing in her eyes, which was completely different from usual.
On the attic, she was fascinated by the autumn water painting on the screen. She sighed softly, and her words turned out to be so beautiful...
As soon as her hand fell, she painted in the void, thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains with dusk snow, and a lone goose flying away from thousands of mountains...
The boundless emotion of "Who is the shadow going to?" was completely integrated into this lone goose. When my hand fell, the lone goose came to life, flew out of the attic, and flew towards the snowy mountains in the wind and snow...
Her way of painting truly crosses the threshold of "turning the void back into reality" at this moment.
She was finally able to open the first page of "The Picture of Mountains, Rivers, Universe"...
Outside the courtyard wall, a voice sighed softly: "Asking what love is in the world, it tells you whether life and death are together... It is also a quatrain through the ages! It is also a quatrain through the ages... I asked to see you early in the morning, and you actually witnessed the birth of a colorful poem. How lucky you are.
?”
"Boss Ding?" Lin Su handed the gold paper in his hand to Lu Yi.
His eyes turned to the outside of the courtyard wall.
"Yes! Can I come in?"
"bring it on!"
With a shout, Ding Hai jumped over the courtyard wall and landed in front of Lin Su.
Sister Chen smiled softly: "Boss Ding is here. He must have something to discuss with my young master. How about we move to the living room?"
Lin Su's heart moved, "Okay!"
The two of them entered a common room on the west side, which was a large side hall. You could see the Yangtze River when you opened the window. Lin Su liked the scenery here better, so Sister Chen transformed it into a living room.
When the door curtain was lifted, Boss Ding was suddenly surprised. Is it so warm in this room?
According to this temperature and this kind of space, there should be eight pots of burning charcoal fire in this room. As soon as Boss Dante entered, he was stunned. There was no charcoal fire in the hall, not even a pot, and there was only a metal stove placed in it.
Beside the hall, a silver pipe leads to the outside.
"Third Young Master is really rich, has he been using demon flints to keep warm all these years?" Boss Ding took off his outer coat.
"How is that possible? The things here are not that expensive, they are very cheap. It costs less than a tael of silver to burn them for a month."
What? Boss Ding can’t believe it. Monster flint is the best thing for heating. Rich families in the capital may use it, but to keep such a big room warm for a long time, at least three flints will be consumed every month.
A piece of flint is worth a hundred taels of silver.
That’s three hundred taels!
Therefore, except for the royal family, high-ranking officials, and the wealthy, who can afford it?
But the Third Young Master actually said that the things inside only cost one tael of silver to be burned for a month?
Sister Chen came over holding the tea cup: "Boss Ding, you might as well open it and have a look."
Boss Ding lifted the pot in front of him and saw something burning brightly below. This was not flint...
"What is this?"
"Coal!" Sister Chen said, "Boss Ding is the big boss. Are you interested in this thing?"
Boss Ding’s heart was pounding: “Where can I buy it?”
"Over the river beach, my third son has opened a coal factory, specializing in making this kind of rare items. If Boss Ding is interested, our two families can cooperate again, and I guarantee you will make a lot of money..."
Boss Ding's eyes lit up: "How much does this cost? Also, how long can it be burned?"
Sister Chen explained everything about the burning time, coverage, and price. Boss Ding slapped the coffee table: "Okay! Okay! I will draft an agreement immediately. How much can you supply me every day?"
Sister Chen thought for a moment: "Thirty thousand briquettes a day shouldn't be a problem."
"Thirty thousand...thirty thousand...can you add some more?"
Sister Chen was overjoyed, but her face remained calm: "How much does Boss Ding want?"
"One hundred thousand!"
One hundred thousand!
Sister Chen's heartbeat has accelerated. Coal factory boss Dai is a little worried these days. The output of the coal factory is too large, and the digestion capacity of the refugees on the riverbank is too limited. Coal has piled up like a mountain, and there are millions of briquettes in stock. It is urgent.
Sales channels need to be broadened, but the benefits of coal are currently only known to the homeless people on the riverbanks and have not been publicized at all.
Today, when Boss Ding came over, she had this idea in mind and wanted Boss Ding to help sell some. She never expected that when Boss Ding opened his mouth, the price actually tripled her best estimate!
Is this thing so commercially valuable?
One hundred thousand briquettes a day, and each hundred briquettes cost two taels of silver. How much does that cost? 200 taels!
Excluding the wages of coal factory workers, the young master can directly earn 150 taels!
How much is a month? Net profit is 4,500 taels! This is just Boss Ding’s line.
Great! So great!
Sister Chen nodded!
Sister Chen nodded, and Ding Hai was also excited. He is a shopping mall tycoon, and his vision is naturally not comparable to that of Sister Chen. As soon as he saw this thing, he knew how much gold content it contained. It is currently freezing, and countless people are here.
I was shivering in the cold wind. This thing is really a life-saving tool. It has good heating effect and the price is affordable. Even the middle-class families in the city can afford it. How many people are there in Haining City? One million people!
One person consumes one briquettes a day, which is a million! My God, my daily order quantity of 100,000 seems to be far from enough. Can I add more?
But a hoe can't dig a well, it's better to drink enough of the oil and water in front of you first. This chapter has been completed!
