Tang Menglong's living secretary's pregnancy contributed to the complete collapse of the "Barencheng Elders' Accommodation Regulations". The allocation of living secretaries has allowed the general office to take into account the needs of seniors' separate residences, and it has now been upgraded to the urgent agenda.
But this matter is not simply about building houses for the elders, it also involves the current management system of Bairen City.
The original fortress-like residential area of Bairencheng that integrated office, living, and warehousing areas was no longer appropriate, and the prohibition of entry by indigenous people made life and work very inconvenient.
The distribution of living secretaries has ended, but due to the management regulations of Bairen City, these women cannot enter Bairen City. It was originally planned to build a separate residential area for living secretaries, but the news of the Ming army's crusade put the project on hold. So the elders could only
She met her life secretary in a business building in Dongmen City. The number of rooms in the business building was limited, and demand exceeded supply for a while. Li Mei was overwhelmed by the continuous complaints - everyone was complaining that they could hardly get a room.
, they could only order the elders and living secretaries to stay in the room for three hours each, and then it was shortened to two hours.
"If I had known this, I should have opened my own express hotel." Li Mei was very enthusiastic about this business opportunity.
Outside of three hours, the life secretaries can only follow the elders to work at their respective posts. This is not bad for the elders sitting in the office, and it changes the working atmosphere in the office; the elders in Nongkou have no dissatisfaction - life
Most of the secretaries came from farmers and were good at crop work. However, for the industrial veterans, it seemed very uncomfortable for women to wander around in the workshops. Except for a few seniors who were particularly interested, they began to teach their secretaries how to do it.
Except for Hammer, everyone else felt that it was impossible to work like this and it was easy to get distracted.
At night, the life secretaries have nowhere to go. This is especially difficult for seniors who do not have a single dormitory to live in at their workplace. They cannot follow the elders back to their dormitories in Bairencheng, so they have to go back to the life secretaries school to live in a group dormitory.
The senators were extremely dissatisfied with this living condition, and the General Office's proposal to restart the project was rejected by the Senate. Amid the roar of "We want to live a normal family life," the project was implemented for more than two years.
The "Regulations on the Accommodation of Elders in Bairen City" were completely abolished.
Moreover, in order to ensure the convenience of fortification, Bairen City had a small area and was inconvenient for moving and living. The call to build a new residential area, or at least a villa area, became louder and louder in the Senate.
After some "research", the general office decided to renovate and expand Bairen City. Re-plan the residential area and administrative area. Move the original residential area outside Bairen City and choose a site for reconstruction.
According to the plan of the construction company, the old city of Bairen City will serve as the administrative center, leaving only the Senate, government agencies and key departments such as telecommunications equipment rooms.
The original living facilities, including dormitories, entertainment facilities, and living service facilities, have all been moved to the "new city". The new city is designed and constructed completely in accordance with the requirements of the residential area.
According to the plan, the new city was built on the bank of the Wenlan River. Upstream of the old city, it was built directly on a high ground on the bank of the Wenlan River.
The old and new cities are connected together, with additional walls and gates set up in the middle, both for security and for the commuting of the elders working in the old city.
According to Mei Wan's planning ideas, the new city is actually a residential community with 500 households. He plans to build the homes of the elders in the style of townhouses - which is more land-saving.
He assigned Zhang Xingpei to design these 500 townhouses. Mei Wan planned to build a double-story villa with a usable area of about 100 square meters.
"It's too chilling." Zhang Xingpei frowned, "Although everyone is building a palace now, and a building as grand as a castle is impossible, we really can't afford this 100-square-meter building. At least we have to build an American-style one.
Detached double-storey cabin with front and rear gardens..."
"How big is this community?" Mei Wan said, "Ran Yao is still not satisfied - he thinks the new residential area is too big to be guarded."
Merlin had been looking at the planning drawing with his chin in his hand, and now he also spoke: "Even if we build townhouses, according to this design, if there are three households per house, there will still be 160 buildings. To be honest, among the real estate projects I have worked on,
A villa area of this size is already very large. It is easy to build a house, but the interior decoration of the house will probably consume a lot of resources. Not to mention the lighting and power distribution inside."
"What are your plans?" Mei Wan had never been very interested in this fellow's lofty views.
"I think it would be better to build apartments..."
Everyone said it was difficult to accept: because now high-level indigenous cadres have moved into townhouses, and the elders live in apartments instead. In the past, safety was taken into consideration, but now it is difficult to justify it if safety is not taken into consideration.
.
"Everyone of the senators plans to have three wives and four concubines. How do you arrange for so many concubines to live in an apartment for others? It would be weird if I don't kill you."
"Listen to me." Merlin said calmly, "The apartment area is small. Five hundred apartments. If you build a three-story apartment, fifty buildings will be enough. Compared with more than a hundred apartments,
A townhouse occupies a much smaller area. First of all, it is easier to guard. Secondly, an apartment of more than 100 square meters can still accommodate two wives. If you want more wives, it is a long-term plan - will it happen in three to five years?
Will everyone still live in Bairen City?"
He predicted: By the end of the first five-year plan, many of the elders will have been dispersed throughout Hainan Island, and some may even be sent to the mainland and other regions. These people will no longer live in Bairen City. Many houses
will be vacant, and the overly huge villa residential areas will become too deserted and difficult to maintain, manage and defend.
"If an apartment of more than 100 square meters cannot accommodate the future wives of the senators, neither can a townhouse of more than 100 square meters. You must know that many people have the idea of building a mansion or a manor. We cannot
Are you planning to build 500 manors in Lingao?"
The elders will not regard Lingao as their permanent residence in the future. It will only be a "holy place" in the future. When it comes to living environment, there are many places on Hainan Island that are much better than Lingao.
"At that time, an apartment in Bairen City will only be a symbol of status. I think those veterans who are stationed abroad will only stay in luxury hotels or office guest houses when they come back, and they may not come back to the apartments to stay.
"
Instead of building half-baked housing now, it is better to lower the standard and save some resources and land. Just ensure the housing needs in three to five years. Moreover, the needs of the elders now are to be able to live with their secretaries, girlfriends,
It’s just a small nest where my wife can stay and fly together.
These remarks moved Mei Wan - Mei Lin's analysis was very clear: the elders' ultimate goal for housing is palaces, mansions, castles, manors, sea view villas and the like, not to mention townhouses, even wooden houses designed by Zhang Xingpei
The structure of American-style single-family houses may not satisfy the elders.
In addition, the construction company is seriously short of various decoration materials and building materials, and even if it builds a villa, it can only be decorated in the Ming style.
"I'm afraid the elders won't be happy."
"Publish the plan to the public. You won't make any mistakes." Merlin continued to make suggestions. "The house must be designed to be comfortable and practical. The elders will definitely accept it."
Several people discussed it and decided that the standard apartment for the elders should be equipped with three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. The practical area is about 90 square meters.
Merlin said: "One room for the elders, one for the life secretary, and one for spare."
Because Zhen Qian has experience in designing houses, the specific design work was left to her. She suggested that it is not necessary to build everything according to the scale of three bedrooms and one living room.
"It is difficult to use the space effectively with the same structure. In addition, some elders do not necessarily want such a big house. People like agricultural residents basically live on farms. If you give them a house, they will not come to live in it. Therefore, small apartments should be set up.
It’s convenient for those elders who don’t live in residential areas.”
"Yes, for someone like Wu Nanhai, I'm afraid three bedrooms and one living room are not enough." Mei Wan said sourly.
Everyone burst out laughing, feeling envious and jealous.
Zhen Qian curled her lips and said, "That's what you are interested in!" As she said that, she talked about her design plan: build some large, medium and small apartments, focusing on large ones.
"The structure adopts brick-concrete structure and reinforced cement prefabricated floor slabs, which is in line with our productivity level." Zhen Qian said, "There is no problem with the decoration materials, plumbing hardware, all can be produced by ourselves, and sanitary ware and ceramic tiles can also be supplied. The main thing that is lacking is
They are industrially manufactured floors, paints and coatings. If you don't care, the simple ones can generally meet the needs. Only wires, lights, switches, etc. are first-level controlled materials. It depends on whether the Planning Institute is willing to allocate materials, but gas and tap water should be installed in the home.
It can be done.”
"It's better to use gas lamps for lighting." Merlin said, "It's brighter than candles or oil lamps, and it's clean and convenient to use."
"It's also very convenient to kill people - aren't there enough cases of deaths caused by gas water heaters?" Mei Wan expressed concern, "I think it's okay to use gas for street lights, but direct home lighting is not as safe as electric lights."
"It depends on whether the Planning Institute agrees or not. However, everyone used to have electricity when they lived in dormitories, but they didn't have electricity when they lived in apartments. I'm afraid Wu De wouldn't dare to object," Zhen Qian said.
Everyone discussed the details again. In addition to housing, a public garage, entertainment and fitness center, and logistics service center were also set up. The latter hired a group of reliable maids to wash clothes, cook and clean for the elders.
——They are all indigenous women who have passed the strictest political security review. This institution existed in the past, but it was set up outside Bairen City and it was very troublesome to provide services. This time it was officially moved into the new city.
