1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 550
That afternoon, I discussed future development and cooperation with the chief officials of Miyun and Huai County in Xiweng Town.

Luo Tao has made the final decision on most aspects. How much will the area of ​​the vegetable basket project be expanded?How many supporting factories need to be added?How many jobs can we provide for the two counties?
Answer these questions in detail. However, these are not temporary decisions made by Luo Tao. These plans are the development paths planned by Tian Hao and others.

Now it's just Luo Tao, who is very important, who stands up to discuss it with everyone.

After agreeing on cooperation, we took a short rest in the town for one night.

Early the next morning, Luo Tao took people to Miyun Villa to see the construction status of the courtyard.

Miyun Villa is still based on the pattern of a quadrangle courtyard in Beijing, with four courtyards entering from the left, middle and right, with cross-courtyards on the left and right. Behind the courtyard is a garden, connected to the Miyun Reservoir, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

There are gardens, which naturally have to be integrated into the style of Jiangnan gardens. Pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, corridors, and boats, everything is not bad, it can be said to be extremely exquisite.

Luo Tao is still a hedonist at heart. It is rare to be so proud in life. If he is not happy, he will be sorry for this great time.

To him, money is like a fool, and he doesn't want to make any more money.

Anyway, all I make is money from real estate speculation in my childhood.

After spending all this money, Luo Tao didn't feel any psychological discomfort at all.

If there is any blame afterwards, they can only blame their beautiful father for being too cruel.

If you don't play with people like that, let them eat until they are full and then slaughter them.

Furthermore, these craftsmen were hiding in some dark room, plotting to rob his beautiful father's lair.

It was only a few kilometers from Xiweng Town to Miyun Villa, and the group arrived quickly.

The person who presides over the work here is Master Wang.

Now their construction team is no longer specialized in repairing ancient buildings, but has moved into the field of modern architecture with the pace of the times.

This seems to be a good thing, but it turns out that there is a collision between old and new ideas.

It turned out to be Master Xiao Wang, Master Wang’s son. He thought that there was a way out and he could make money by working on a large construction site.

Master Wang, on the other hand, believed that engaging in ancient architecture was the real way out, and the two of them had a falling out because of their different ideas.

Master Xiao Wang led a group of people to build a building, while Master Wang led a group of senior craftsmen to continue their old job of repairing ancient buildings.

Luo Tao had nothing to say about their father-in-law's separation, so he let them go.

After all, their engineering team does not have a clear superior-subordinate relationship with Xichang, but a cooperative relationship.

Master Xiao Wang's departure can only mean that he sees a way to make money. After all, in the future, real estate-related industries can make money.

"Developers" and "contractors" are not called for nothing. Some of them grew up eating... snow buns.

When the father and son broke up, Luo Tao didn't intend to intervene at first and let them resolve it themselves. However, the father and son found him within two days.

Luo Tao replied to them with an attitude of neither objection nor support.

It’s really because making money in this industry is making money, but if you are scolded, you are really scolded.

Luo Tao still wants to be a good person, so how can he get involved in this matter.

If you want to do real estate, you have to go abroad to do it and fire them to death.

Luo Tao thought that he would fool the two men back by playing Tai Chi, but he didn't expect that the two men were here to attract investment.

It turned out that the clown was himself.

Both of us are bright people!

Luo Tao was afraid that they would do things under his own banner outside, so they came here anyway.

The three of them had known each other for many years, and Luo Tao couldn't refuse, so he proposed to bring Master Wang's ancient construction team into Xichang and then put it under the management of Xichang. He would pay Master Wang a salary of 20 yuan in advance.

Forget about investing, don’t even mention borrowing.

This money is just a salary. What you want to do with it has nothing to do with me.

He also implicitly told them not to do things in his name outside.

There are many people who had no problems themselves at first, but because their family members had problems, they went in step by step and never came out again.

Luo Tao must always be wary of this problem. Besides, his relationship with Master Wang and his son is not that strong.

20 may seem like a lot, but in fact, Master Wang and his wife have made a lot of money over the years. I heard they both bought houses in the Second Ring Road, so they are considered rich.

The higher point is that Master Wang's craftsmanship is worth this money to Luo Tao. No matter how much more, he can only find someone else.

Although the father and son were a little disappointed, they were also very content, so they agreed happily.

What surprised Luo Tao was that the man from Ermei's family, who usually loved talking, didn't follow Master Xiao Wang out and chose to stay.

Luo Tao saw that he was quite clever, so he asked him to follow Master Wang to learn ancient architecture. As for the bricklayer he learned in his hometown, he had to go back to the village to build a big tile house.

This guy has studied well for more than a year, and because he still knows some words, he just happened to be promoted to the small captain of the ancient construction team this year, managing more than ten people under him.

Today, the Xichang Ancient Construction Team has more than 50 people, most of whom are masters of ancient construction.

This other courtyard started planning the year before last, and started construction last year. Not only did the Xichang Ancient Construction Team participate in it, but also invited many southern ancient construction masters to participate in the construction.

This southern ancient construction team has also been incorporated.

There are now nearly 100 people involved in the construction.

As soon as Luo Tao and Zhu Lin arrived, Master Wang and Master Chen from the south came to greet them. They were the two leaders of the North and South Ancient Construction Team for the construction of the other courtyard.

"Thank you for your hard work... I haven't been here to care about you for a long time. I hope you don't blame me!"

Luo Tao didn't mind the dirt on their hands, so he held their big hands tightly and talked to them enthusiastically.

Even if they were aggrieved by Luo Tao's behavior, it should be gone by now.

"Mr. Luo, you have a lot to do and deal with big things, so why don't you come here every day... It's good that we didn't cause you any trouble." Master Chen from the south is more talkative and younger than Master Wang. The two stood together. Son, Master Chen is a little more energetic.

Master Wang is more experienced and knows the purpose of Luo Tao's visit today, so he doesn't talk nonsense, "Yes, Mr. Luo and Mr. Zhu, why don't we go and have a look at the courtyard, you can see what is inappropriate, and suggest us Change it again."

"Well, today, we laymen will pretend to be experts and appreciate the classical architecture built by the two masters who led the hard work for more than a year."

Luo Tao praised them again, which was very helpful to everyone.

Putting on his safety helmet, Luo Tao led Zhu Lin and his wife lovingly into the main courtyard that had been built under the leadership of two masters, Wang and Chen.

This gate does not open to the southeast, but opens in the middle. It has three gates, a ridge, a tiled roof, two mountains decorated with water and bells, two large pillars, and four plum blossom-shaped door hairpins. It is majestic and majestic. Extravagance, the style of the old palace.But this is incomparable to Prince Gong's Mansion in the city.

The stone steps have been paved, and the decoration and painting on the gate have not yet started. The current task is to build. As for the courtyard decoration and other work, that will be done later.

“These are all southern beech trees, right?”

Luo Tao looked at the two wooden pillars in front of the gate and asked Master Wang the specific materials they used.

Although Luo Tao knows hardwood furniture, he has not seen everything. For example, he has heard the name of the beech before, but this is the first time he has seen it.

Although beech is not one of the luxury woods, it is widely used by people in the South.

Beech has a strong texture, strong impact resistance, clear texture, uniform wood grain, soft and smooth color, and belongs to the category of mid-to-high-end furniture materials.

Compared with precious woods such as golden nanmu, the quality of beech is not as good as them, but the good thing is that it is low-key and does not attract people to steal in the middle of the night.

Don't stand up one day and be gone the next day.

Therefore, the wood used in this courtyard is basically this kind of inconspicuous wood, and he does not dare to use those particularly famous ones.

"Yes, the gate is made of beech, including when you enter the courtyard. The doors and windows of the rest of the courtyard are made of beech. The pavilions and other materials are made of elm. The rolling shed roof and mountain frame of the house are all made of chestnut. Veranda…”

While walking, I heard from them that Luo Tao set a standard for them at the beginning, and left the rest of the work to them. The old man would come over from time to time and guide them in their work.

With experts checking in, Luo Tao is very relieved.

Entering the second courtyard, there is a hanging flower door, an overhanging top, a six-purlin rolling shed with a tiled roof, two hills decorated with water and bells, and a double panel door with the same color. Luo Tao knocked on it with interest. Yu plug board.

The residual board refers to the space between the door frame and the door frame. Since two waist rails are used, there is a gap lower than the upper surface of the waist rails. In order to create this gap, a layer of board is inserted in between.

There are four plum-shaped door hairpins, the front eaves are not painted, decorated with hanging lotus columns and capitals, there are sparrows between the columns, and a pair of round gate piers in front of the door.

There are five main rooms in the courtyard (without wing rooms), front and rear verandahs, a hard mountain top with clear water ridges, a tiled roof, and flower plates on the ridges.

There are three rooms in the east and west wings, each with the same style as the main room, with front verandahs... Each room in the courtyard is connected by four-and-one purlin rolling shed verandahs. The main room on the east side is a doorway, which can lead to three entrances to the courtyard.

The second entrance to the hospital was basically completed. Zhu Lin was particularly curious. She observed very carefully and asked many questions.

In particular, what is the front porch and the back building?What is Qingshui Ridge, Pishui Pai Ridge, and Rolling Shed, these are all points of knowledge that she usually does not have access to.

Although the house we live in is also a courtyard house, the specifications are still ordinary people's residences after all, and naturally they are not as high as the standard of the palace.

Two master carpenters are already making carvings on the doors and windows, step by step.

Most of the people from Xichang who followed Luo Tao saw the work site of this ancient building for the first time. They were all curious and observed attentively.

After entering Sanjinyuan, the area of ​​the courtyard suddenly became much more open. The brick floor in the courtyard was paved, and under the verandah, there were five or six master craftsmen who were concentrating on carving brick patterns or wood carvings on doors and windows.

After Master Wang's introduction, Luo Tao chatted with them for a few words, watched their work for a while, and then continued to look at the courtyard.

There are five main rooms (excluding the wing rooms), and the third courtyard is also the last one. The layout of this courtyard is very similar to that of the second courtyard.

The difference is that the third entrance courtyard is like the first entrance courtyard, with a moon gate on the left and right leading to the east and west cross courtyards.

The East Crossing Courtyard had just been built. Everyone took a look at it from a distance, said hello to the master workers, and then turned to the West Crossing Courtyard.

It is half constructed here and has begun to take shape.

The general outline of the courtyard has been revealed.

In this courtyard, I met Zhang Zhu, who was Ermei's husband, and Luo Tao and his wife both greeted him and greeted him a few words, so that they could go back and talk to Ermei.

This Ermei is a good woman who loves her man. Ever since she knew that Zhang Zhu came to work here, the communication conditions are not so convenient. Every time Luo Tao comes, she tells Luo Tao to help her find out if her man is thin or dark. Already?

Luo Tao felt helpless every time. It was annoying to have to show affection in front of others at such an old age.

It is better not to come than to be abused.

This time, when he heard that Luo Tao and his wife were coming, he instead told Zhu Lin to cook some side dishes and bring them with him to satisfy Zhang Zhu's craving.

She was overthinking it. Firstly, they didn't come here directly. Secondly, there was definitely no shortage of meat in the food of the Xichang Ancient Construction Team.

They work hard every day. If they don't eat meat for a day to make up for it, it will be very hard.

But you can’t believe what some people say. Their bodies are better as vegetarians than as meat-eaters. Vegetarianism is a symbol of noble people, etc...

People say no?
If you eat some peanuts, you won't say such shocking remarks.

You all have to eat steak medium rare, and the blood is like drinking blood from raw hair. Don't you feel cruel and disgusting at this time?

A group of people who only know how to exploit the same kind, when they succeed in squeezing the same kind, their minds are separated from the human body. At this time, in order to seek the nobility of their hearts, they sympathize with the animals.

A "person" who doesn't even sympathize with the same kind, can she be a caring "person"?

There is only one answer: she is not human.

Off topic.

Since this woman has been staying in the Luo family for a long time, she does not regard herself as an outsider when it comes to her man Zhang Zhu.

However, the Luo family also liked her straightforward temperament, and they didn't hide anything.

She and Zhu Lin get along best.

Then we went from the west courtyard to the garden, which can be described as desolate, with rockeries, strange rocks piled together, and green bricks and sandstones.

Now there is no trace of the garden at all.

Master Chen noticed the change in Luo Tao's expression, so he brought over the overall drawing of the garden they designed and planned, "Mr. Luo, this is the layout diagram of the overall garden, which adopts southern garden architecture according to your ideas..."

Luo Tao took it and looked at it carefully with Zhu Lin, and found that it was different from the picture they gave them before.

Then he asked: "Is this picture a new one made by you?"

"Yes, there were a few things that were not in line with Feng Shui concepts before, so we changed them again. You and Teacher Zhu happened to be here today..."

Chinese people care more about Feng Shui, especially those who work in architecture, and Luo Tao also cares about it.

Luo Tao had secretly looked at the location of this villa.
