Due to the severe collapse and damage, the house is almost uninhabitable, and Chu Yao intends to tear it all down and rebuild it.
However, this would not only be a huge undertaking, but the increasingly cold winter would also increase the survival pressure on the common people.
If you just do some simple renovations and live there again…
Looking at the amount of snowfall in Fugu City in previous years, the houses could not withstand the snowfall even after being repaired. If there was more snow, it would easily collapse again, endangering the lives of the common people. Chu Yao was in a dilemma for a while, hesitating about what to do - of course, the biggest problem was still poverty.
If the family had more money and a place to house these common people, they could just tear it down and rebuild it, and the planning and layout would be more reasonable, without the trouble of repairing it. Just when he was worried, his master came, and he put down his work.
"My Lord!"
Shen Tang waved his hand to signal him not to be polite.
"Wuhui, sit down and discuss. I have something to do."
Chu Yao smiled bitterly and said, "That means we are of the same mind. Yao also has something that he would like to ask the Lord for his decision on."
Shen Tang has few people under his command.
Just find any tent to hold the meeting.
It didn't take long for everyone to gather.
Zhao Feng looked to the left and then to the right.
He touched his nose awkwardly.
He seemed unfit for the occasion.
But it was obvious that Shen Tang had no such idea, and Zhao Feng also stayed shamelessly. Then he heard Shen Lang teasing: "That's perfect, we can solve the problem together and we can make fewer trips. Tell me first, what is the thing that can make Wu Hui worried."
Chu Yao burst out laughing.
"It's about the settlement of the common people."
The common people they brought with them were all homeless and homeless, mostly the elderly, women and children, who had no land to farm in their hometowns, let alone in Fugu City where they were unfamiliar with the place. After checking the land registration records of the government office, 90% of them were in the hands of a few families.
The people did not have much land.
Most of them are barren land with poor fertility.
There was not enough land for the native common people in Fugu City, let alone for the old, weak, women and children from outside. Even if there were fields, some of the common people were old or disabled and not suitable for heavy physical labor. There was also a serious shortage of farm tools and oxen.
In short—
Fugu City is really poor.
These livelihood issues are still a few months away, and the current problem is housing. As Chu Yao spoke, he spread out an old piece of paper with wrinkles carefully smoothed out, on which was drawn a part of the planning of the architectural layout of Fugu City, and the ink was still fresh.
Uniform and divided into areas.
Each area has its own function. Some areas are used for living, some are for vendors to do business, and even detailed plans are made for which locations should have what types of shops, and some areas are used for entertainment, such as wine shops and restaurants.
The buildings are neat and orderly.
The roads between the areas are wide and smooth, and can accommodate four carriages passing in parallel. Each area is connected to each other but relatively independent. It is convenient for centralized management and can minimize public security conflicts. Shen Tang took a quick look and was somewhat tempted.
but-
The focus she grasps is different from others.
“Are there too few shops reserved for merchants?”
Based on this, management is convenient, and to some extent it also reduces the possibility of people engaging in too much commercial activities. However, in Shen Tang's opinion, Fugu City will grow and expand sooner or later!
There will be more and more commercial activities in the future.
Chu Yao: “…”
He thought Wu Lang's focus would be on the huge project and insufficient money and food, but he didn't expect that he would think about the market being too small.
He said helplessly: "A man who does not farm may suffer from hunger; a woman who does not weave may suffer from cold. The common people's current crisis is food and clothing, not other things. Let's wait until every household in Fugu City has surplus food, then consider this. At present, it is completely sufficient."
Vendors can facilitate the exchange of goods and boost the economy.
But if everyone wants to do business but not produce, good farmland will be abandoned. The problem that Wu Lang is worried about does exist, but it will be a long time in the future. If there is really not enough space in the future, the worst that can happen is to open another market or extend the opening hours.
Right now, filling your stomach is the most important thing.
Shen Tang said: "Then I have no problem."
Chu Yao asked back: "Where's the money? Where's the food? Where's the people?"
Shen Tang: “…”
In the blink of an eye, her world turned dark.
These three questions made her look like an emo.
"Ah, this..."
If poverty hadn't been a hindrance to her, she would have been very happy.
Chu Yao also sighed.
The sound of "poverty" was made.
"Yao is ready to start construction, but the weather is cold and he doesn't know how to accommodate these thousands of common people. Should he repair the dilapidated houses first and make it through the winter, or should he tear down all the ruins? If it is the latter, keeping the common people warm in winter will become a problem again..."
Everyone can continue to live in simple tents.
But the tent is not warm at all.
This means that expenses for winter supplies will increase.
Looking at the gloomy Shen Tang, Gong Shuwu hesitated to speak, and finally said vaguely that he also needed to apply for funding. The walls of Fugu City had been in disrepair for many years, with some parts collapsed and damaged, and the walls peeling off.
If it is not repaired, it will have no defensive effect.
Shen·emo·Tang: “…”
Gu Chi couldn't bear it but still stabbed him again.
He also needs funding here.
Shen Tang: “…”
Looking at Master Shen, whose face was full of the expression "poverty", Zhao Feng felt sorry for him, but also felt curious - neither his late master nor his current master Wu Xian knew what "poverty" meant, nor had they experienced the embarrassment of wanting to break a penny into ten.
real-
It's so miserable.
Zhao Fengdu couldn't help but feel sympathy.
But the facts proved that he could not easily sympathize with Shen Tang, because it would be unfortunate - when he came to his senses, he ran into Shen Tang's gaze. Zhao Feng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was caught because of his distraction, and thought that this might be a coincidence...
Shen Tang just happened to see himself...
But Shen Tang was looking at him.
Zhao Feng asked honestly, "Does Mr. Shen have any instructions?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, yes."
Zhao·Just being polite·Feng: "..."
"Mr. Shen, please give your instructions."
Shen Tang: "Can a brave warrior split mountains and break seas?"
Zhao Feng didn't understand why the question jumped to this point, but his nature made him answer truthfully: "Splitting mountains and breaking seas is just a rumor among the common people. Not all brave warriors can do it. Only a 17th-rank commoner can have the confidence to do it..."
It is possible but not easy to do.
Zhao Feng is still far away.
Shen Tang said: "General Zhao is too modest. Actually, I have something 'difficult to talk about' right now. I would like to trouble you and Banbu for help, but I am worried that you will feel offended, so..."
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Is this still his business
Zhao Feng: "Mr. Shen, please feel free to speak. As long as you do not betray my loyalty and trust, I am willing to serve you."
Gong Shuwu also agreed.
Shen Tang coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
Gu Chi had expected this.
As expected—
Then, Mr. Shen smiled shyly and said, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. I am going to adopt Wuhui's suggestion and just tear down the southwest corner and rebuild it in one go! But most of the common people under my command are old, weak, women and children. Letting them do such heavy physical work, not to mention whether their bodies can handle it, the speed is not good enough..."
