The day of leaving Guangxu Emperor

Chapter 48 Cover the house

Qi Bosong told Zhenxing the news. Zhen Xing felt very surprised. Unexpectedly, is there really such an opportunity? The two of them went to the open space to have a look. It's really far from the center of business. Compared with the current location of Zhenxing's house, it is about 800 meters apart.

"Do you think this position is too remote?" Zhen Xing said worriedly.

Qi Boxong couldn't eat accurately and didn't say anything for a long time. This location is indeed a little far away from the central area. Can it attract customers?

That night, Zhen Xing and Qi Boxong ran to Boss Sun's home to confirm the accuracy of the news. Boss Sun also took out the documents and land deeds to buy the land, and told Qi Boxong that he planned to start construction next month. At that time, build a big house and expand your business. In this way, let's see what bad ideas Boss Fang has.

Zhen Xing and Qi Bosong were a little relieved after listening to Boss Sun's words. The next day, Qi Boxong personally asked Boss Liu to help with this.

Two days later, the master in the government was invited to Xianghezhuang. After a few cups of warm wine, the master and Qi Boxong were called brothers. Sure enough, in five days, a hundred taels of silver bought an acre of land. Seeing that the price was cheap, I wanted to invest a few more yuan. I had no choice but to build a house because the money was limited.

With the land, everything is easy to say. Zhenxing couldn't sleep with the land deed in her arms. It was really a dream come true. She wanted to do this, but she didn't expect that it really came true.

On the second day, Zhen Xing and Qi Bosong went to see the land they bought in person and couldn't help frowning.

It turned out that this land was located at the corner, farther than the land I saw that day. I heard that two new commercial streets will be built here. The location of Zhenxing's home is just at the corner of the nail intersection. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

No matter whether it's good or bad, anyway, the land has been bought, and there must be a place to settle down.

Zhenxing has carefully calculated that an acre of land is about 660 square meters, and one hundred taels of silver is equivalent to 30,000 yuan, which is really cost-effective.

In contrast, it was really expensive to buy a house in the countryside. However, there are still houses on the ground. Zhenxing thought of this and hurriedly urged Qi Boxong to go to the countryside to exchange the house for a hundred taels of silver.

Boss Liu looked at everyone buying land, and he was also a little jealous. Simply, they also bought a piece with Zhen Xing. It's far from Zhenxing's house, and Boss Liu's position is almost on the corner.

I don't know. I was shocked. In this newly built place, nine of the ten households are from the Ili Chamber of Commerce. Well, it's better to go to another street, which is more convenient to manage.

Boss Liu has a unique vision and believes that this street will have a good development in the future. In particular, it will become a big business world in the future. Those small businesses will not have the vision to buy land and invest in the construction of civil engineering. Most small businesses only live on an acre of land.

If the big business is really separated from the small business, the future of development here will be immeasurable.

Zhen Xing is not complacent about such a good opportunity. To her satisfaction, the house in this era is really surprisingly cheap.

Zhen Xing didn't expect one thing. Some farmers went up the mountain to open up the wasteland and opened up their own land. At that time, the population was not dense, and there were no developers toss about housing prices. Zhen Xing's happy thing is really insignificant in the eyes of others.

It is said that the land near Xianghezhuang only spent 50 taels of silver to buy an acre. Those small businesses almost laughed when they saw that someone was really wronged and spent a hundred taels of silver to buy land.

When Qi Bosong brought back the one hundred and thirty taels of silver, Zhen Xingzi carefully calculated the accounts of the family.

Daily expenses and liquidity for business. The 500 taels of silver given by Emperor Guangxu, plus the silver earned in the past six months and the 130 taels of silver in Qi Boxong's hand, a total of 980 taels of silver.

With this silver, Zhen Xing has confidence in her heart. Boss Liu, Boss Sun and their family have agreed to find a construction team, so that the price will be cheaper.

Before building the house, the three families gathered together, and a familiar bricklayer brought the drawings. Zhen Xing looked at it. It was a typical style of ancient Chinese architecture. They were all two-story buildings with pointed roofs and warped eaves.

"This house has no heating facilities!" Zhen Xing suddenly said.

This sentence doesn't matter. Everyone looked at Zhen Xing in a daze, as if she came from another world. When winter comes, just raise the fire basin. What else do you need to do for heating?

"Brother Liu and Brother Sun, your house needs more heating than our supermarket. Let's talk about Brother Liu's. If they come to your house for dinner in winter, they can't put a brazier under every table, can they? Zhen Xing said.

Boss Liu's face is different. What's the matter? We live like this every year!" Boss Liu said.

Seeing Boss Liu's stubbornness, Zhen Xing turned to Boss Sun, "Brother Sun, customers come to your house to try on shoes in winter. Can't they try them out?" Zhen Xing said.

"No, isn't it like this every year?" Boss Sun said.

Seeing this, Qi Bosong hurriedly said, "Zhen Xing, there are two big brothers here!" Don't say it!"

Although he knew that Qi Bosong wanted to give himself a step down, Zhen Xing didn't appreciate it. Instead, he said with a smile, "Every year is like this. This year, you don't have to spend it like this!"

"Zhen Xing..." Qi Bosong frowned and said.

Zhen Xing hurriedly white-handed and said, "Six brothers, I have gained a lot of knowledge when I came back from the countryside this time! I saw a farmer's house with geothermal heat.

"Gyptic? Several bosses said in surprise.

Zhen Xing nodded, and Qi Bosong panicked. Zhen Xing didn't mean the farmer's house. He didn't know what to say about the palace? Which house in the Forbidden City is not geothermal?

When building a house, there will be a hole connecting the foundation. Every winter, red-hot carbon is added to the foundation, so that the house will be warm.

"Yes, geothermal. Just dig a hole in the ground and add charcoal to it and so on. Zhen Xing said.

"I know something about this kind of thing you said. However, it's not filled with charcoal, but with cow dung and sawdust. The bricklayer suddenly interrupted.

Qi Bosong was immediately relieved when he saw the bricklayer relieved. Just now, sweat almost oozed out of his back, for fear that Zhen Xing would accidentally say something and reveal her true identity.

"The specific design is like this. After the foundation is put in place, a space about one person high will be vacated under the floor above the foundation. It is supported by a low wall in the middle. In winter, it is filled with cow dung or sawdust. After lighting it, it can be hot for a winter!" The mason said.

Boss Liu and Boss Sun have learned a lot, and it's the first time they have heard of such a thing.

Zhenxing was also relieved and didn't expect such a thing. I thought it would be a heating facility like the Forbidden City. Unexpectedly, the suggestions put forward by the bricklayer are more cost-saving than my own suggestions.

"But is that thing strong? I'm a little worried about the ground collapsing now. Boss Sun asked anxiously.

"You just put your heart in your stomach! Absolutely no problem. The brick is low and it is a feldspar, which has strong load-bearing capacity. It will never let your floor collapse! If it collapses, come to me and I will rebuild the house for you for free!" The mason said.

Boss Liu nodded. At this time, Zhen Xing suddenly asked a question.

"Can't there be any smell of cow dung? I mean, it's burning." Zhen Xing asked.

The bricklayer smiled and said, "Where is the best of both worlds? However, the smell of dried cow dung is not big. If you are afraid of smell, you can smoke the house. Otherwise, you also need to smoke incense at ordinary times. The bricklayer said again.

"Unfortunate, the second floor can't be used." Boss Liu said with emotion that most of the second floors in that era were made of wooden structures.

"Is it safe? Won't it start a fire?" Qi Bosong suffoed for a long time before asking.

The bricklayer patted his chest, looking like a bamboo.

"I promise you that you will never catch fire because of it. To be honest, this is the way to keep warm in my hometown, Heilongjiang. When I was a child, I used to build such a house. In fact, cow dung burns very slowly. There are bricks around. Don't say anything else. How many years have you seen the pot table burned in your house? Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem. If you have any questions, come to me and I will give you a full refund. The mason said.

Qi Bosong thought that if there is a problem, it will be over. As a member who has experienced two fires, he is very concerned about this problem. However, the mason's words also make sense. The stove is made of green bricks. Haven't you ever heard of whose stove is on fire?

"I think this design is good. Bosong, what do you think?" Zhen Xing asked.

Qi Bosong is still a little hesitant. In case of fire, everything at home will be gone!

"I don't care about you. Anyway, our family did it according to this design!" Boss Sun said.

"I follow too! By the way, mason, can my old house also be changed to this design? Boss Liu said.

"That's a big project. If you want to do it, I'll go to your house to have a look." When the bricklayer heard this, he took a new job and couldn't help but be happy.

Zhen Xing looked at Qi Bosong, and Qi Bosong's heart was horizontal. In case it burned, he would have to start all over again. Well, that's it. Our family has done the same!" Qi Bosong said.

The bricklayer suddenly smiled strangely and stretched out two fingers. OK, all three of you do it, and I'll give you a discount. Not to mention, each family is adding twenty taels of silver!" The mason's smiling eyebrows flew to the sky.
