I have a map editor

Because this county town is very distinctive.

It is completely different from ordinary cities. Instead, it is like a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, full of quaint architectural styles everywhere.

Moreover, it is not simply an imitation of ancient architecture, but a harmonious combination of Chinese style of flying eaves and brackets and modern style. For example, the most common six-story residential building in China, the Pavlov Building, has a circle of tile skirt design outside the windows between the residents on each floor, where the floor is flush, and the roof has also been enlarged. Some residential buildings have a layer of

The pavilion has become a venue for leisure and entertainment.

Emily also deliberately turned into an ordinary residential area so that she could see some scenes inside the community.

Compared with ordinary residential areas, the space between buildings here is not particularly spacious, but the overall greening and site construction is quite complete. The tile roof design and the green trees and red walls complement each other very well, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility. Most communities have basketball courts and other activity venues. The ground floor of the residential buildings is usually a parking lot and a shed (storage room for household items). Some communities also have special parking and shed buildings.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Emily asked with a proud tone after driving around for a while.

"Well, it feels more unique than some of the high-end apartment communities in Europe and America. Are the residents of this county so rich that they live in such high-end houses... Also, why do you sound a little strange? Is this also the work of the company?"

"Of course, otherwise it would just be an ordinary small county town."

Emily smiled proudly: "Old Yang didn't want to get involved in the local urban reconstruction project, but the staff here are too conservative and out of touch with the development speed of the region. If we follow their ideas, our production base in Yujia Town and hundreds of other friendly factories, with hundreds of thousands of employees, will probably not even have proper parking spaces. We can only park at the bottom of residential buildings and on the roadside like in other cities, occupying the public road area."

Liu Yifei thought about it and realized that the coverage of these other cities was quite broad, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Although there were high-end residential communities with dedicated parking lots, it was true that the vast majority of ordinary and mid-range residential communities did not have parking spaces designed for residents.

In a few years, there will be endless conflicts and public security incidents caused by disputes over parking spaces. There will also be many cases of encroaching on community fire escapes, resulting in delays in firefighting. However, these are too far ahead, at least with the knowledge and vision of the Fairy Sister, she cannot see that far ahead.

She is more concerned about more practical issues: "But if we do this, the cost of building such a community will not be cheap, will ordinary people have that much money?"

"The salaries at Lao Yang's and other companies' factories are relatively high. Besides, this is a mysterious country, not a place that pursues maximum profits. The government can just introduce subsidies or low-interest policies. Houses are not something that can be used up after a few years. You can pay them back slowly. According to the local per capita income level, it only takes ten years to afford an ordinary apartment here. Most people can do it."

"Oh"

Sister Fairy had no idea about these things, but she was still amazed at the influence of Yang's enterprises on the local government and their construction achievements.

"By the way, I'll take you to see a fun place later."

"Where?"

Emily smiled mysteriously but said nothing.

After getting back on the road and driving out of the city for more than ten minutes, Emily introduced: "The scale of the county town is so small. Lao Yang asked a professional information company to evaluate it. The potential for population growth in the county town in the future is not great. Even if we have the golden goose of Yujia Town Manufacturing Base to attract employed people, the new population will also be moved to other urban areas. Otherwise, the population density will be too high. We want to continue to deepen the path of characteristic towns and build a long wall outside the county town to see if we can develop tourism without historical sites."

"This is a good idea. I don't think there is a need for so many twists and turns. Mr. Yang can just use his ability to train chefs to attract gourmets from all over the world to visit here."

This is not flattery or perfunctory. Liu Yifei really thinks so after having eaten that meal at noon, because it is indeed very delicious and has local characteristics. After all, even in some big cities like New York, you can see the signs of Northeastern restaurants. Northern cuisine is indeed a school of its own, and on this basis, Yang Sheng is even better.

"If you rely solely on the food to attract people, it's a bit like the Michelin rating system, which requires a lot of commercial operations. In China, there are eight major cuisines, but each one is unwilling to give in to the other, and the competition is fierce. It's too troublesome to sort out these relationships."

Emily curled her lips. Once the infrastructure of the mysterious country was in place, there would be no need to spend effort to sort out these relationships. All she could do was find a few food bloggers or UP hosts, and flatter them. By then, no one would be able to stop the internet celebrity economy even if they held on to old ideas. She or Yang Sheng would not waste that effort.

Moreover, when food technology developed, which is commonly known as "technology and hard work", under the rolling tide, even many professional chefs could not beat the pre-prepared dishes produced by machines - we should look at the issue of additives rationally here. Human technology is always moving forward. The so-called "talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is playing rogue", attributing one's own dental or hair loss problems caused by not controlling appetite and taking care of food to "technology and hard work" is a similar behavior.

Without further ado, the car drove for another ten minutes and deviated from the main road, driving on a country road. Because the speed was not fast, Liu Yifei could clearly see the content on a billboard on the side of the road: → Xingshutun Cemetery ahead, (slogan) Xingshutun Cemetery is everyone's eternal and peaceful home.

Liu Yifei: "..."

"Sister Amy"

"Ok?"

"The interesting place you mentioned, isn't it the cemetery?"

"Hahahaha" Emily laughed happily and admitted generously

Admitted: "You know?"

"What's fun in the cemetery!?" Liu Yifei was not afraid of ghosts, but still asked with a gloomy face.

"Well, that is also a project handled by our company, but the subsequent maintenance and maintenance income, which is a bit like property management, will be returned to the local government for them to operate."

"what?"

"You'll know when the time comes, and the most interesting thing about this matter is the story behind it."

After going around the foot of a mountain, the cemetery was visible from afar. The Fairy Sister stared at the scene in front of her in amazement again.

Because she saw a large area of ​​buildings built in the mountains, a large area of ​​high-rise buildings with more than ten or even twenty floors, the kind that you would see in a medium-sized city!

"Is that a cemetery?!"

She couldn't help but point her finger and turned her head to ask.

"yes"

"Don't lie to me, it looks like a residential area. It may look different from the ones in the county town, but the neighborhoods in other cities all look like this."

"As for the Yinzhai, in ancient times, people couldn't build such high-rise buildings, so the ancestors buried the dead underground. Modern people can build such high-rise buildings. Since the living can live in them, why can't the deceased ancestors live there? Moreover, the population of such high-rise Yinzhai..." Emily felt that the deceased ancestors could not be referred to as "population", so she changed her words: "... the dense population can save a lot of space compared to burying them in the wild. What's wrong with restoring the vacant land to mountains and forests? There are also facilities for burning paper for the ancestors on each floor, and there are staff to clean and look after the niches on a daily basis. Why not place the ancestors here?"

These few words left the Fairy Sister speechless, but at the same time successfully aroused her interest.

When we arrived at the site, we found that, like the hotel in the port city, this cemetery also had a digital management system. We could access it remotely by scanning a QR code with our mobile phone, and we could even register as a tourist and take a deeper look inside.

Even without Emily's guidance, they can come here and stroll around the park on their own. They just need to register with the gatekeeper or register an ID bound to a valid certificate through the APP. The latter can enter and exit by just scanning the code with their mobile phone.

The APP also provides a detailed introduction to the "check-in" rules. The house types range from "niches" that can only accommodate one urn to "luxury houses" covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. There are also very professional decoration plans from the perspective of funeral and feng shui.

At least Fairy Sister thought it was very professional and impressive. As for the price, a luxury house + top-level decoration plan would only cost over a million, which was just average in her opinion.

Although it is called a cemetery, it is actually more like a high-rise apartment complex. Most of the ground has been hardened or paved with tiles. There are more green plants than in ordinary communities, but they have all been maintained. In addition to being particularly quiet and peaceful, it actually gives people a very refined feeling.

From the signboard of the park, you can see that the entire park is built around a small hill, and the overall shape is a huge Bagua, and the specific Bagua symbols are also created using buildings.

Unfortunately, even though she is of Chinese descent, Fairy Sister can recognize the Bagua, but she can't remember the specific symbols on it. When she saw the map of the park, she opened her mouth again in an "O" shape.

There are only two words in my mind: shocking.

After entering the "Yin Zhai Building" which was named with a certain meaning, Liu Yifei found that it did not look like an ordinary high-rise apartment, but more like an office building. The height of the mezzanine floor was more than 4 meters, which might be for ventilation considerations when burning paper money.

The floors are neatly lined with "niche cabinets" made of white marble, which are not crowded and give people a solemn feeling. The floor is swept clean and residual incense ash can be seen in the public incense burner. This is the daily "maintenance" done by the regular monks and Taoists who work here for the "residents".

However, the ventilation is good, and apart from the faint smell of burning incense, there is no strange smell of fireworks.

Luxury houses are generally located on the upper floors, which are customized by the residents. Some people lock their doors and come to visit and protect their ancestors on fixed dates. Others will entrust the park management to come to their homes on a daily basis to burn incense and paper for their ancestors, or ask monks to chant scriptures to pray for their ancestors' rebirth.

You can see the detailed price list on the official website, and the charges are very affordable.

It is daytime now, and there is no glass on the large windows, but you can see the rolled-up blinds on the top. Sister Amy introduced that at night or when the weather is bad, the automatic control device will lower the blinds, closing the entire building, and the access control will take effect. Only relatives of the "residents" of the building can enter and exit with the QR code when the residents "check in".

Liu Yifei couldn't help but think of some "XXX Cathedrals" or "Human Bone/Skull Tombs" in foreign countries. This new type of funeral method is indeed refreshing, not too commercial, and looks very civilized. Emily was not wrong about the "interesting place" before. This place is indeed very interesting.

0067

Emily also took Liu Yifei to the hill in the middle of the park.

The mountain is densely planted with acacia trees. From a distance, you can only see a tiled roof. There is a staircase leading directly to the top of the mountain. Going up the stairs, you can see that the entire mountain has been built into a stepped terrace style.

Well, we have already seen the large area of ​​high-rise buildings at the foot of the mountain, so it is not surprising that the mountain has been built like this, but the Fairy Sister still expressed surprise.

"You even rebuilt the mountain?"

“No, that’s not the case.”

Liu Yifei pointed

The mountains on both sides of the ladder: "Sister Amy, are you thinking that such neat terraces are formed naturally?"

"We didn't repair it. It was like this when we took over. You know how the educated youth went to the countryside decades ago? We just made some repairs on the original foundation. You can see from these locust trees that they can't grow so tall in just a few years."

Although Liu Yifei is of American nationality, she is not an ABC. She understood this immediately after hearing it, and looked around the hill again with another kind of surprise.

On the top of the mountain is a purely ancient-style building, which is mainly the residence of monks and Taoists working in the park. There are of course Buddhist temples and Taoist statues inside. Liu Yifei even found Christian and Islamic meeting places.

"Sister, this is just a small local... uh, local cemetery. It even has Christians and Muslims. It's too mixed."

After thinking about the scale of the campus, she deleted the word "small".

"Hahaha"

Emily laughed happily and said something that amazed her: "This is a mysterious country. Even if it is the reincarnation of Christ or Buddha, we still have to obey the Basic Law."

If an old cadre said this, it would be very strange, but if a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl from the United States said this, it would feel quite strange. In a few years, there will be a foreign word: sense of disharmony, or a strong sense of disharmony.

"And don't underestimate the cemeteries here. They now generate a lot of GDP benefits. Not only are more and more people from the surrounding areas choosing to 'settle down' in these new cemeteries, but last year there were also 'house speculation groups' coming from the south who also wanted to purchase a large number of these 'properties' locally for investment. If it weren't for our Old Yang who thought this was not a good thing, the land would have been used by whoever had the need, and their speculation would have invisibly increased the cost of living. We would have carefully formulated new rules to keep them out. The value of the cemeteries here might have increased several times. As I said before, things here are actually quite interesting, hahahaha."

Liu Yifei's young assistant also came up. Upon hearing what happened, the two girls rubbed their foreheads at the same time in perfect harmony. Their speechless expressions made Emily even happier.

"Damn, even graves are being hyped up"

On the other hand, Emily did not mention that they could certainly choose to allow the "house speculation group" to enter the market and make a fortune in transfer fees, but if the cost of cemetery land increases sharply, ordinary people will choose to vote with their feet, give up burial in the cemetery and choose the wilderness again, returning to the funeral customs of the past, which is inconsistent with their original intention of jointly carrying out these projects with the local government.

Judging from some later experiences, some places did this indeed for the sake of financial benefits, and also introduced some rigid regulations to support this practice, turning the good thing of civilized living habits into a complete business. The natural outcome was the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people... Therefore, government behavior is still very important in guiding the public to civilized customs.

"It's not the right time now. When the Ghost Festival comes in a few days, there will be some large-scale sacrificial activities in the local area. We have planned and held it several times. The acceptance and response of the local people are okay, but Lao Yang is still not satisfied. The local monks and Taoists are not good enough in terms of inheritance and professionalism. He sent people to the north to find those shamans with older traditions."

In the car on the way home, Emily talked to Liu Yifei as if chatting.

The "shaman" mentioned here is not the "shaman priest" in novels or games, but an ancient priest profession that actually exists, which Liu Yifei also knows.

"Hmm, the kind of shaman who performs rituals?"

“Yes, but whether it is shamans or monks, they all need to undergo cultural reform. If they are done well, it can be called culture and heritage. If they are not done well, it will be feudal superstition and easy to be criticized. Therefore, in the past few years, we have only tried to hold a few sessions locally, and the news has not been released to the public.”

“Oh, I see.”

Liu Yifei nodded.

Think about the new form of burial in tombs, and then think about the retro large-scale rituals and sacrificial activities... this new owner really has everything.

But they are all quite interesting.

……

That afternoon, the Fairy Sister officially moved into Yang Sheng’s home in Dabieye.

To use Bolan Ge's joke to describe it, her arrival seemed to cause no commotion to the women at home, because the place was so big that let alone outsiders, there were some places in the house that even family members might not visit once in an entire year.

Most of the rooms are usually idle.

At dinner, everyone was very considerate and held a welcome party. Well, these women simply wanted to have fun.

Because of their origins, Yang Sheng's family has always been very cautious. They have personal and family photos, but they are not displayed outside. Instead, they are stored in the villa on the low mountain and the "tiankeng base". In the overall decoration of Dabieye here, some clever designs are also used to avoid these problems.

In addition, Yang Sheng has kept a low profile in the past few years. Apart from local officials and a small number of senior officials, as well as some friendly businessmen, he has never shown up in public. So in Liu Yifei's stereotype, he is a successful and elegant businessman in his forties, who may be a little out of shape.

She didn't even realize that the man here was actually the handsome guy in the cooking video that she particularly liked to watch recently.

To be honest, even the Fairy Sister was very surprised after seeing the girls in Yang Sheng's family, let alone

Mention her assistant.

In most people's eyes, Liu Yifei is the pinnacle of beauty, but any other woman here is no less beautiful than the Fairy Sister, and most of them are even better than her. Other aspects like skin and figure are all plus points. Even if they are all without makeup and in casual clothes, Liu Yifei is not conspicuous at all among these women. It can be said that she is completely submerged among them.

Moreover, in terms of manners, temperament, and cultivation, even the assistants with little experience can see that none of them are ordinary people. Moreover, it is not the kind of elegance that is shown, but the kind of confidence and nobility that comes from the bones. For example, Lina, who likes to wear sportswear even though she is pregnant, rolls up her sleeves and chews on her elbow with two or five forks, and her face is covered with oil, but she does not make people feel that she is rude or impolite. Lily, who is next to her and wearing a lace maternity dress, is also chewing on a braised pork elbow. Liu Yifei and the assistants do not think that she has never eaten meat, and they even want to help her lick the oil off her face...

Fairy Sister is a rather dull and simple person. She didn't have any special feelings about the dinner except that the food was delicious, everyone was so pretty and friendly to her, and the children were so cute.

On the way back to the room, the young assistant, who was actually two years younger than her, whispered to her: "Our big boss is in great shape. He can actually make such a beautiful sister pregnant at the same time."

After Liu Yifei heard this, her expression became strange.

Starting from the second day, the actual physical training she experienced was not as harsh as she had expected.

I just get up very early, eat a little to avoid hypoglycemia, go out and jog for a long distance around the mountains that have been renovated like a garden park over the years, and then do some yoga and special fitness exercises.

Liu Yifei has some background in fitness and martial arts. These words are not bragging, nor are they just "persistence". She did it very easily.

But she was surprised to find that the pregnant women in her family also participated in this activity. Moreover, they all looked very relaxed, even more relaxed than her.

Seeing her confusion, Zhuo Yisi explained to her: "Pregnant women also need a lot of physical strength to have a baby. Resting is the wrong way to deal with it. However, doctors usually only recommend hiking and slow walking, and will not recommend such strenuous exercise. The women in the family are all in very good health and strong, so they would do this. In addition, there are professional medical staff on standby at any time in the community."

Although there were still some doubts, such as "these women are too physically strong", but it made sense in general, and Liu Yifei and the assistant basically believed her.

Moreover, the performance of these pregnant women also made the two people believe more that the boss's family is really unique in fitness and physical fitness.

It was only then that Liu Yifei remembered that Emily was in charge of fitness and physical training, but what about martial arts training? After a series of events from yesterday to now, she had forgotten to ask about it.

Then, Emily didn't change her clothes, just wore yoga sportswear, and amid the turbulent visual effects, she was given a set of gangster exciting punches that were extremely powerful in every sense, oh no, it was a martial arts routine of boxing.

It's really awesome. Liu Yifei has a background in dancing and a little martial arts. When she was filming the TV series, she performed many of the fighting scenes herself without using a body double, so she has good taste. But even if you don't have good taste, from an appreciation perspective, Emily's martial arts routines are quite pleasing to the eye.

She was really excited... But after watching the performance, Liu Yifei touched her chest and thought, "It's okay..." As a young assistant, although she was not short, her chest was clear and smooth without any ups and downs... So her face was full of confusion and disbelief.
