Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After exiting the courtyard gate and coming to the street, He Yuzhu asked Zhang Hu, "What's wrong, Huzi? You look so excited. Did you come up with any good ideas?"

Zhang Hu nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, Brother Zhuzi, you are right. I gathered the brothers together last night to talk about your arrangement. As a result, one of the brothers actually came up with a good idea, but the price is a bit high."

"What's your idea? Tell me about it." He Yuzhu became interested as soon as he heard it.

"That young man said that there were several courtyards in the alley where he lived, but they were destroyed during the war a few years ago. The original owners of the houses could not be found, and now all they have are broken walls and ruins."

"The house has no owner anymore. Who does it belong to now?" He Yuzhu asked.

“The house is now under the management of the sub-district office, but the office has no money to repair it, so it has to remain there and be abandoned,” Zhang Hu responded.

"So what do you mean?" He Yuzhu followed up Zhang Hu's words and asked.

"I asked the street office, and they allowed someone to pay to buy these dilapidated yards damaged by the war, demolish them and build new houses on the original site. But the cost of building the houses is a bit high." Zhang Hu hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"You mean we buy these yards destroyed in the war, and then build new yards, but who will they belong to after they are built?" He Yuzhu said after thinking for a while.

"Whoever built it will definitely be credited with the property. I asked the street office about this, and they didn't ask for much. A plot of land as big as a courtyard house only cost 100 yuan."

"100 yuan is not a lot of money, so why don't you buy a piece of land and build it yourself?" He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Hu curiously and asked.

"The street office said that after the house is built, we can no longer live in the house we rented before and we have to return it to the street office. When I thought about how much money it would cost to build the house, I immediately couldn't bear to do it." Zhang Hu replied with a grin.

"Then why did you come to me? I can't give up my house because of this. My house was passed down to me by my father. If I secretly change the house, I will have a hard time explaining to my father when he comes back." He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Hu with a puzzled look on his face and asked.

"Brother Zhuzi, please listen to me. I asked the street office, what should I do if the house is my own and not rented? The people in the street office said that if it is my own house, there is another way. That is, after the house is built, I will hand it over to the street office, and the street office will help to rent it out, and I can collect rent every month according to the regulations of the street office." Zhang Hu said hurriedly when he saw that He Yuzhu was a little impatient.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He knew that this method sounded feasible, but there were also some problems and uncertainties. First, handing over the house to the street office for rent meant losing direct control over the house, and might face problems such as uneven tenant quality and poor maintenance and management; second, collecting rent according to the rent set by the street office, the low-yield servants, 3 yuan a month for a room, and he would spend thousands of yuan to build a courtyard house, but could only collect more than 100 yuan a year, and the rent collected would probably not be enough to repair the house.

So no one nowadays is willing to do this, but He Yuzhu is different. He came from the future and he doesn't even want to pay rent. He is willing to do it as long as he is allowed to build it. This is a house in the old city, and any one of them must be worth a lot of money.

"Brother Zhuzi, what do you think?" Zhang Hu couldn't help asking when he saw that He Yuzhu didn't speak for a long time.

"I think it's okay. Let me find some time to look for Director Wang of our street office and ask her about the specific policies. If possible, we can build a few courtyards. We have no shortage of money anyway. You go back and ask the people in your street office if we can build four courtyards. Say that there are people around us who have housing shortages, and can we arrange two courtyards for us to freely distribute to people we are familiar with, and leave the remaining two to the street office. If the street agrees, come back and tell me. After all, we build houses so that our brothers can live together and do things conveniently." He Yuzhu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go to the street office tomorrow to ask. I feel like they will definitely agree. By the way, Brother Zhuzi, do you have any requirements for the location of the yard?"

"Yes, look for those with wide alleys, easy access, and close to the main road. Since you want to build, buy those with large courtyards. In short, these are the requirements. You can look for them according to these requirements when the time comes."

"Brother Zhuzi, if we buy such a big yard to build a house, wouldn't it cost too much money? Besides, building a house requires so many bricks, and bricks are hard to buy now. And besides, taking out so much money at once, won't it make people suspicious?" Zhang Hu said with a worried look on his face.

"The brick problem is easy. A house cannot be built in a day. There are many idle brickyards in the city. As for the source of the money that you are worried about, you don't have to worry about it. I have a way. Have you forgotten what my father-in-law does?" He Yuzhu said to Zhang Hu with a smile.

"Yeah, how could I forget about this? Your father-in-law was once known as Lou Bancheng." Zhang Hu slapped his forehead and said regretfully.

"Huzi, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back. The three little ones at home haven't gone to bed yet, so I can't be out for too long."

"That's all, Brother Zhuzi, you should go back quickly." Zhang Hu said hurriedly.

He Yuzhu walked towards the gate of the courtyard. After taking two steps, He Yuzhu suddenly turned around and called Zhang Hu: "Huzi, wait a moment, don't leave yet."

Zhang Hu heard He Yuzhu calling him and he had just taken two steps, so he hurried to He Yuzhu's side and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Zhuzi?"

"When you go back, tell your brothers and ask them to find out if there are any workstations for sale around them?"

"What does it mean to sell workstations?" Zhang Hu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Now the entire industry has become a public-private partnership. Now, factory succession is allowed. That is, when old workers get old and can no longer work and retire, their children can take their place. However, some workers' children have jobs and do not need to take over, so some people will give up the opportunity to take over." He Yuzhu patiently explained to Zhang Hu.

"Why are you asking about this, Brother Zhuzi?" Zhang Hu asked.

"I'm asking about this because I'm going to buy a workstation and start working."

"Who wants to go to work? Don't you have a job? My sister-in-law can't go to work either."

"It's not bought for me, it's bought for my brothers who are unemployed. My brothers don't have a proper job all day long. Although it is convenient for them to do some things, it is not a long-term solution. So I want my brothers to have a formal job." He Yuzhu said to Zhang Hu earnestly.

"Brother Zhuzi, we have more than 20 brothers under us now. It will take more than a short time to arrange jobs for so many people." Zhang Hu kindly reminded, "Besides, the brothers are very happy to work with you now. They have less work to do and earn more. There is no need to spend so much money to find a stable job! If you really buy a formal job, I'm afraid the price will not be cheap, at least several hundred. I'm worried that many brothers' families can't afford this money. After all, when we recruited people, we recruited people from poor families. Everyone's family life is better because they follow you."

"Hu Zi, how could I not know the family situations of my brothers? The reason why I asked you to recruit those who come from poor families and are willing to endure hardships was to take care of them. I will pay for your jobs." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Zhang Hu hurriedly said, "Brother Zhuzi, so many people have to pay a lot of money, it's not a small amount. You are so kind to everyone, you really didn't pay for it."

"Hu Zi, don't worry. Although I paid for this money, I didn't do it for nothing. Consider it a loan to my brothers. Since it is a loan to them, the money must be repaid. After they start working, the money will be deducted from their monthly wages. But they only need to pay back the principal, and no interest will be charged." He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Hu, who had an anxious look on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Oh, that's fine." After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Zhang Hu's expression suddenly relaxed and he was no longer so anxious.

"However, you still have to explain to your brothers. You can't buy any job. I do have requirements as well. First, you can't buy jobs that are too busy at work. Try to buy jobs that are a little less busy so that it will be convenient to find them when something happens. Second, the job you buy can't be related to the official affairs, so that someone won't have bad intentions and use us as stepping stones." He Yuzhu went on to state his requirements.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry. If anyone dares to have evil intentions, I, Zhang Hu, will be the first one to never let him go. If he dares to be unjust, don't blame me for being unkind to him. I will directly arrange for my brothers to destroy him." Zhang Hu said viciously after hearing what He Yuzhu said. In Zhang Hu's mind, if it weren't for the appearance of He Yuzhu, he would not be able to live such a good life now. Not only does he have a formal job, but he also has a wife and children. It turned out that the people in the same courtyard with him had not found a wife because they had no formal job. They could only rely on odd jobs on the street to make a living. He would never allow anyone to destroy his beautiful life now.

"Hu Zi, don't worry. I arranged formal jobs for the brothers. Besides wanting them to look good when they talk about it, another reason is that now there are more people and the team is bigger, so it's inevitable that some people will have bad intentions. With formal jobs, the brothers can be more obedient." He Yuzhu said with emotion.

"Brother Zhuzi, Wang Chao and I have no second thoughts about you!" Zhang Hu hurriedly explained when he heard this. He knew he had to make his position clear, otherwise it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Hu's nervous expression, smiled and said, "Of course I know that I personally selected all six of you, and I have absolute confidence in you. But the problem is that the brothers below are different. Many of them don't even know my name, let alone meeting me."

Zhang Hu listened to He Yuzhu's words and secretly felt lucky that his choice was right. He knew that although He Yuzhu looked stern, he was actually a very far-sighted and wise man.

He Yuzhu continued, "Huzi, you have to understand that human hearts are the most difficult to manipulate. If we don't find these brothers a formal job and let them continue to be free as they are now, even if they don't have any ambitions, once someone instigates them, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not waver. By then, we will become the target of public criticism, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Hu nodded in agreement, knowing that He Yuzhu's worries were not unreasonable. He couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Zhuzi, you are really thoughtful. Indeed, people's hearts are hard to predict, and we can't take it lightly."

He Yuzhu patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "So, we must find a way to solve this problem. We must create a stable environment for the brothers, let them have a sense of belonging, and at the same time let them see hope for the future. Only in this way, the brothers will not easily have second thoughts."

"Okay, I got it, Brother Zhuzi. I will arrange this matter when I go back. You asked me the day before yesterday to find out about your sister's journey to school. I have already arranged for my brother to do it. When I found out, there were indeed a few little rascals. After I gave them a good beating, they immediately behaved themselves. They all cried and promised to turn over a new leaf and mend their ways in the future." Zhang Hu suddenly remembered that he had not yet said what He Yuzhu had asked him to do.

He Yuzhu laughed when he heard it. "Why do I feel like you guys are doing chivalrous things again? But your method is good. It's a good idea. It's a legitimate reason to do chivalrous things. It will be easy to talk to people from the government office when you really meet them. Just let you guys continue to do this in the future. Let them walk around the streets near them when they have nothing to do. You must be brave enough to take action against those who do bad things, but you must pay attention to safety. Don't be stubborn when you are alone. It's best to act together with a few people to be careful of accidents."

"Okay, I'll tell my brothers. Brother Zhuzi, do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Hu felt that He Yuzhui probably had nothing to say, so he decided to ask.

"It's gone. It's really okay this time. You can go back and drive slowly." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned and walked towards the courtyard house No. 95.
