Allure of a Country Maiden

No matter how beautiful the scenery outside a house is, people will only appreciate it for the first time, and then take another look at it when they have time. Therefore, the most important thing is that the things in the house are practical and convenient.

The emperor actually used the equipment in the suite and felt that such a house design brought a lot of convenience to life.

The design of the house is actually very modern and simple. There is also a TV cabinet in the living room (although there is no TV, a mural of flowers blooming and prosperity is also painted as the background), sofa, coffee table, screen, dining table, and wine cabinet. . And some ceramics, bonsai, flower arrangements and other ornaments are placed in appropriate places on these things for decoration. The overall look is warm, elegant, neat and comfortable.

The food Xiaoer prepared for the emperor and his party was not expensive. It was lunch time. The emperor came to experience the people's livelihood. All the way, the emperor and his ministers ate at the same table. This time was no exception, but there were more Shen Chengyao and Doctor Luo and two others.

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and they were all eaten.

Although the emperor was full, he still felt unsatisfied. He regretted eating with everyone. There were several dishes, and he only took two bites. When he wanted to eat more, they were gone in the blink of an eye.

"I have eaten a lot of delicious food, but I still feel that the food at Shengpinghou's house is the most suitable for me." Di Shaowei felt that he had finally regained his full health.

"I finally understand why you two always like to go to Shengping County last year. Just for this meal, it's worth traveling a few more times!" Shangguan Xuanhao regretted that when Marquis Shengping was in the imperial capital at the beginning, he didn't go there every day. The Shengpinghou Mansion is busy with food.

"It's only thanks to Mr. Shangguan that I can have a full meal! I usually can't eat many dishes!"

"These are not many expensive and hard-to-find dishes. If Marquis Shengping wants to eat them, he can ask the cook to make them every day!" The emperor didn't know why. As far as he knew, there was a little lucky star in Shengpinghou's family who wanted to make money, so there was no shortage of them. Spend your money on groceries!

"These dishes are all cooked by my daughter and wife. My daughter said that staying in the kitchen for a long time will turn her into a yellow-faced woman. She doesn't like cooking very much. She likes to think about how to make money all day long, and she takes my wife by the way. She asked her to cook, saying that I should despise her after she turned into a yellow-faced woman. She also said that men tend to become bad when they have money, and asked my wife to just keep an eye on me if nothing happens all day long." Shen Chengyao replied honestly, and He was also full of grievances about this, and his daughter didn't believe him.

"Haha..." After hearing this, everyone laughed.

"County Lord Ruian is really a strange woman. She is probably the only one who has this kind of thought." The emperor laughed happily and commented after he finished laughing.

"Marquis Shengping, I see that the things in this house are all cleverly designed, convenient and practical. This is what the rumored and talented Lord Rui'an thought." Zhao Youwei, the eldest son of the Admiral's Mansion, thought of the little girl he just saw. , that is the girl with whom he was almost engaged. When she grows up, she will be the most powerful girl in the country, but it is a pity...

"That's exactly what my little girl is thinking. She is the only one in my family who has the most fantastic ideas." Shen Chengyao said to himself.

"Marquis Shengping gave birth to a good daughter."

After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued drinking tea.

The next day, Shen Chengyao accompanied the emperor and his party to Fucheng.

The emperor wanted to see the situation of land acquisition and building houses.

The relocation houses have been built, and the prefect set aside a piece of land in the market to build them.

This land is by the river. People in the city usually dump domestic garbage here. The prefect has long wanted to clean it up. I took advantage of the relocation house this time.

This time, a total of twenty-six families were expropriated, and six of them chose the compensation of sixty taels of silver and did not ask for a house.

These six families no longer want to stay in the city. They go back to their hometowns and spend 12 or 8 taels of silver to build a new house and buy a few acres of land. Their lives will be much better than in the city!

It's just that their house is small, dilapidated, almost falling apart, and it's in a slum area, so they haven't been able to sell it. Now that someone has conscripted them, why don't you quickly take the money and leave.

Xiaoer designed five houses with four floors each for the remaining twenty households. There is one building each in the southeast, northwest, and one in the middle. They are all designed to face south and have excellent lighting.

Xiaoer also built a row of one-story houses with four buildings connected, with five rooms in each row, a total of four rows, which were used as kitchens for each household.

The kitchen space is large enough. In addition to the stove, sink, and cupboards, a dining table can also be placed for the family to eat here.

The floor also floated out one meter to create a corridor, so you don't have to worry about getting wet even if you walk back from the kitchen to your house on a rainy day.

Originally Xiaoer was worried that they would find it troublesome, but when she asked with the renderings, no one had any objections. If the kitchen was not built outside the house, why would they find it troublesome to walk a few more steps.

Many people also said that their previous houses were too small and there were many people in the family, so people still slept in the kitchen.

The houses currently being compensated to them have a usable area of ​​150 square meters per household, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. In addition, there are two taels of silver compensation, which is a good thing that cannot be found even with a lantern!

Although they have never lived in such a house, they are the most difficult family in the city. Most of them are a large family crowded together on the same pit. They want to build an extra house but have no money. Now they can live in separate rooms. Not willing.

Moreover, four deep wells were dug in the four corners of the compound and water pumps were installed. It was much more convenient than walking a long way to fetch water before.

The biggest disadvantage is that it is close to the market, and they share a yard. It will be noisy on market days, but everyone said that this is not a big deal. What if there was a big yard before, and there was no food to dry!

The people have now moved in. The emperor asked several people and they all said that the house is much better than the previous one. At least it does not leak wind in winter and rain in summer.

The emperor was very happy after hearing this.

Xiaoer also took a fancy to the area where they lived. The houses were small, but the yards were large. The houses were built irregularly. There was one house in the east and one in the west. There were many triangles with angles used to throw away garbage. Some were diligent. Some people have started to grow vegetables, but because they are far away from water sources, vegetables cannot be grown well. There are still several soil slopes, which are all deserted, which is a pity.

Now all the houses in this area have been demolished, the slopes have been leveled, and the foundations are now being dug.

Shen Chengyao showed the emperor the renderings.

"This row, this row all faces the roadside. They are all used as shops. There are more than 20 shops. Some shops have independent courtyards." Shen Chengyao pointed to the drawing and explained.

"These are three-story garden villas like mine. Each household has its own small yard and a shared large garden."

"These five buildings are similar to the resettlement houses. But they are all six stories high."

"How much does a house like this cost, and how much does a house like this cost? People with money don't lack a house to live in, and people without money can't afford a house!" Zhao Youwei doesn't look like the emperor has heard of Xiao'er. plan, I felt that no one might buy it, so I raised my own questions.

Needless to say, the shop can make money, and you don’t have to worry about no one buying it.
