The pastoral wife of the evil leader

Chapter 217 Starting a Business (1)
The furniture in the courtyard behind the shop has almost been moved, and Hua Hua asked people to move all the expensive furniture to the second floor above the shop and lock them up for later use, and then they will be married to Jin Cai Huarou People went to investigate the situation of the courtyard behind.

The yard behind these four shops is a typical courtyard house, all of which are double-storey, especially the one that Duo Duo bought for a drug store at the beginning, the environment is quiet, it can be seen that the owner at that time must have a lot of property , it may be that this generation has declined, without repairs and maintenance, everything looks a little dilapidated, with many years of vicissitudes.

The pond in the yard was covered with green moss, and the water probably hadn't been changed for many years. I couldn't see what was in it, and there was a bad smell, and all kinds of small flying insects were flying around on it.

The pillars in the corridor have long been mottled, the paint has peeled off, and they have been eroded by insects and ants. It always makes people feel that they will break if they are lightly touched. The inside of the room is larger than the modern hall. It can be clearly seen that cobweb dust is everywhere, the blue bricks on the ground have large gaps, convex and concave are very uneven, and a thick layer of soil is spread on it, which seems to be too humid.

Because these shops are all from different families, and the yard behind it is also separated by a wall, covered with creepers, green patches, blocking a lot of sunlight, and some landscapes in the yard are also long. It was a mess, full of bugs and unsightly, so Duoduo asked people to move out the unnecessary flowers and plants on the spot, freeing up a lot of space.

Accompanied by Jincai and Huarou, Huahua went in and out to see all the four yards. In the houses of ordinary people in ancient times, they liked to plant flowers and plants in the yards, but they didn't know that these creepers grew everywhere. , covering a lot of sunlight, the whole house looks very dark and humid, and the owner who lives in such a house is most likely to suffer from rheumatism.

The most important point of a house is to have good lighting. The so-called yang energy is strong, so the owner is not easy to get sick. If there is little light all the year round, the body will be easily invaded by dampness and disease.

Originally, Jin Cai was responsible for the civil construction of the entire church in Xuanbing Sect besides managing the affairs of Qiansnake Gate. Although he did not design and build it himself, he knew more or less. too much.

After looking at all the rooms, yards and pavements, Duo Duo sorted out the general idea, and planned to sit down step by step.

First of all, the back yards are now owned by her, so there is no need to separate them. The first step in the construction is to open up those walls. The original location is either designed as a corridor, or the entire wall They were all knocked down, and one or two small pavilions were built for people to rest. Without the cover of the wall, the field of vision is much wider. On the other hand, the area for lighting is also increased, so that the house does not look so dark.

Secondly, it is a repair and reinforcement of the house. The beams and columns that need to be replaced must be replaced again, and insect-resistant and hard wood is used instead.The walls and the ground should also be leveled with compound soil. As for the rest, she has to do it herself, and the ground can’t be as it used to be. As far as she knows, the floors of the buildings in the palace are covered with high-quality marble floors. , is somewhat similar to modern ones, so if you want to make this place into a modern style pattern, this marble floor is indispensable.

Of course, for the sake of convenience, the four wells in the yard will be transformed into pressure wells to facilitate water fetching, and all the ponds in the yard will also be filled in and changed into shallow ponds to facilitate water changes. Rockery or something, let's see if there is any money at that time.

As for the furniture in the room, the principle of the sofa is also understood by gold and wealth, but unfortunately, this money...

"Director Jin, how much money will it cost to renovate these four courtyards as I just said?"

Sofa, Simmons bed, wardrobe, etc. She has already drawn the blueprints and is waiting to make ready-made ones, but, now, silver is the most needed... I feel that 3000 taels seems to be a decimal, too small, especially if you want to buy mahogany. If you want to buy rosewood furniture, you can still customize that kind, which seems not enough...

Sure enough, if you want to live a high-end life, you really need a lot of money.

Sitting on a stone table in the yard, the flowers are inevitably a little dejected, and everything in Yin Zimu is empty talk.

"Ma'am, it doesn't take much money for simple repairs. The small ones cost about 300 taels, but if it needs to be covered with marble floors, it may cost 500 taels of silver for this alone, plus the corridor garden The renovation will cost at least a thousand taels."

In this regard, Jincai never planned to take kickbacks. He knew that Li Duoduo only had 3000 taels of silver, so he naturally didn't want to earn money from his master, which was the result of careful calculation.

"1000 taels? Not too bad."

This was far beyond Duo Duo's expectations. She thought that such drastic changes would cost at least 2000 taels of silver, which was half of her budget.

"Then how much would it cost if the four shops in front were remodeled like this? I'm talking about the upper and lower floors."

In fact, for the upper floor, since the upper and lower floors are basically separated by wooden boards, there is no need to take care of the upper floor. In the current economic situation, it is only necessary to take care of the lower floor.

"I took a closer look. The four shops in the front are all separated by wooden boards. I don't need to think about the walls for the time being. I just need to lay a good floor on the ground. Adding manpower, the cost will be reduced." It looks like 300 taels."

This marble floor, because only royals and nobles can use it, has historically produced less, and the price is naturally not low.

In the past, Dodo thought that with 6000 taels of silver, she would be a rich woman, but now it seems that it is not easy to support a family. Money is needed everywhere, and spending money is like running water...

Gritting her teeth, Dodo took out two thousand taels of silver bills from her pocket and placed them in front of Jincai, "I'd like to trouble Manager Jin to help me with this matter first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Madam, don't worry, the young one will definitely get this matter done, do you want the young one to find someone to start the work now?"

Jin Cai has always acted with high efficiency and speed, never procrastinating, and paying attention to quality, which is one of the reasons why Zui Yue trusts him.

"Wait, there is one more thing."

Regarding the problem of lighting, the only way Dodo can think of is to replace those window papers with glass, that is, the ancient colored glaze, but now she doesn't know whether there is colored glaze in this place, so she asked Jin Cai: "Here Is there something called colored glaze? It’s the kind that is transparent and can transmit light.”

"Ma'am, do you mean colored glaze?" Of course this Liuli Jincai knows about it. There is a workshop dedicated to making colored glaze under the name of King Feng. It is not a problem for her to want as much as she wants, so she nodded and said, "Of course there are It's Liuli, but it's not easy to get Liuli, and it's hard to find money outside, Madam, what do you want to do?"
