Chapter 258: Change of Times, Seek Support)
There are too many people buried.
In Shi Yiwen's opinion, there are many people around him who are buried. For example, Sun Fulin, who is a small and insignificant official in the Ministry of Works, but in the past period of time, he has taken on the task of building a commercial port.
Even while Zhao Guoye was experimenting with bamboo tendons, he built the first bamboo reinforced concrete building in the commercial port while experimenting. Although it was only two stories high, even so, when Shi Yiwen looked at the ancient building standing on the main street of the commercial port, he couldn't help but praise.
"Songtao, you gave me a surprise."
It was indeed a surprise. After all, before that, Shi Yiwen thought he would have to wait until next year to see the first concrete building, but he never thought he would build it now.
"Dragon Zhong Shi, Bei Zhi is ready to continue his efforts and seize the time to build a few more buildings..."
Sun Fulin's words made Shi Yiwen stunned, then waved his hand and said.
"Not now. It takes time for the concrete to solidify, and it is not possible if the temperature is low. Construction cannot be carried out in winter."
Shi Yiwen then explained the problems of concrete solidification in winter, and then followed him in this commercial port. Although the port was opened for a few months, a market has basically been formed here. There are both built houses and some idle open spaces on both sides of the street. However, even the idle open spaces are full of stalls.
While Shi Yiwen was strolling in the commercial port with great enthusiasm, in the new village not far away, Sun Mingyue also looked at the already built house in front of him with anticipation.
"Three large tile houses in the Mingtang! Three side houses... The wall inside the house is also painted with a layer of white gray..."
As he muttered the goodness of this house, Sun Mingyue couldn't help but look forward to it in his eyes.
"Forty-eight taels, seven cents, six cents..."
Once again, talking about this number, Sun Mingyue's face changed slightly, and hesitated.
This is the price of this house. For Sun Mingyue, who can earn three taels of silver in the factory a month, this house is indeed not expensive. Compared with the houses in the capital, it is at least 60% to 70% cheaper.
But after all, this is still a house outside the city.
As he muttered in his heart, many thoughts emerged in Sun Mingyue's heart.
Even if it is a house outside the city, I work in this iron factory.
Yes, it is normal to buy a house nearby.
I was thinking so much in my heart. Sun Mingyue didn't calm down for the whole day, but fortunately it didn't affect the work at hand.
In this way, after a day of busy work, Sun Mingyue went home to the place where the house was sold. After asking carefully, he hesitated to walk home.
The family, not far from the new village, rented a house there. The house was made of mud. Although it was a new house built by the nearby people in their own fields, the house was dark. Although it looked like a new house, it still looked like a dilapidated and narrow courtyard, with the walls of the courtyard short and broken. Whether it is the house or the walls, they are all made of yellow earth. This house is definitely not as good as the big tile house in Mingtang there.
Just make the decision!
As soon as he entered the yard, Sun Mingyue shouted in a loud voice.
"Gi Niang, Xizi, Erzi, come out soon, dad bought pork head meat..."
Porkhead meat is the cheapest. Sun Mingyue, who is on the 5th day of the day, will buy some, make a pot of wine, and then drink two glasses by himself. Of course, if the wine is strong, after all, the rice wine is not strong enough and the price is too expensive.
Because of working in the factory, Sun Mingyue could earn three taels of silver a month. If he had to work occasionally, he would have almost three taels of silver. This income seemed to be less than what he earned when he worked in the shop, but he would have been idle for half a year a year. After all, he could only earn twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, and there were all kinds of trivial matters, which would be as easy as he is now.
Because they are craftsmen, their lives are naturally better than ordinary people. After all, many people in the capital only earn at most ten or eight taels a year. In this capital, life is still quite good.
However, when making this decision, he still had to discuss it with his family.
When I got home, it was already dark. When I entered the yard, I saw my wife carrying a wooden basin and going to the river to wash clothes when I saw Sun Mingyue back.
She said immediately.
"His father is back, Xizi, second son, your father has bought meat, come out soon..."
In the main hall, the two children were writing homework under the dim oil lamp lights. Xizi, who was writing homework, looked up and replied.
"Dad, you can eat first, and wait until I finish my homework before eating."
Seeing the children lying there doing homework, Sun Mingyue said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll have two drinks first."
Looking at the child who was doing homework, Sun Mingyue said to himself.
"Study hard and you will definitely have a future in the future. After entering the factory, you will earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver a month..."
The schools these children entered were not social studies or personal knowledge, but children's schools run by factories, saying that they were specialized in training engineers. When they were running the school, they bought land from nearby areas. The villagers and villagers in the neighboring village naturally agreed. They were even willing to sell them for half price. The condition was that they would build a few more teaching rooms in the school so that the children in the village could go to school for free, and the teachers' food, accommodation and gifts were all given to them. This request was very ordinary, so the factory naturally agreed to it.
"As long as the factory is built, you will naturally have no worries about not knowing how to do it, engineers..."
As he was talking about the engineer's income, he thought in his heart that this family... had to be changed. He just drank wine while waiting for his wife. After his wife came back, Sun Mingyue, who was already a little drunk, said.
"Well, Gui Niang, I'm going to buy a house in the new village."
"Buy a house, that house will cost dozens of taels of silver! Does our family have that much money?"
Gui Niang couldn't help but be shocked.
"It's okay, I asked there what kind of bank loan you can buy, just spend a few taels of silver on the interest rate, and pay ten taels of silver down, and then just one tael of silver a month. I calculated it and I can pay it off in at most three years."
The man's words made Gui Niang worry.
"Loan? Is this reliable? Don't turn it into a donkey's profit."
Just then, Xizi said with a smile when she finished her homework.
