Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

Jia Dongxu quickly arrived at Jiajia Village. Wang Tongming was taking a nap, so he didn't disturb him.

I went to look for Yu Yan first, but I didn’t know where he had gone.

Jia Zhenye and his people are building a school, and houses are being built everywhere in the village, making it very busy for a while.

After taking a look, I decided to go to the school to take a look.

White smoke was coming out of a tall chimney not far away, obviously it was burning bricks, and a much smaller chimney next to it was also emitting smoke.

The demand for bricks will continue to grow, so it seems like it’s time to expand our scale!

It takes seven days for two kilns to produce more than 7 bricks. At this rate, it will take several months to build the school that Zhang Wanan wants.

But you can build the dormitories and canteen first, which is easier. As for the classrooms, you can do them one by one slowly!

Jia Dongxu first found Master Lei. Without having time to greet him, Jia Dongxu said, "Master Lei, it's time to work!"

"Ah? What a big job! We are building a branch of the steel mill now!" Master Lei said, "It's almost finished, just waiting for the roof to be completed!"

"No, you guys are doing it so fast?" Jia Dongxu said, "Then the school should be almost done now, right?"

"Well, several classrooms have been built and are already in use!" said Master Lei.

"You're so fast! I've only been away for a few days, and you've already done so much!" Jia Dongxu smiled, "We're going to do something big. We're going to build a university branch!"

"Oh, that's amazing, District Chief Jia. Not long after you went back, you brought a whole university here!" Master Lei said with a smile, "We have to entertain everyone at dinner later!"

"Ah? What's the etiquette for eating nowadays? How to make everyone lively?" Jia Dongxu was surprised.

"Haha, isn't there a cook named He here? He converted a room in the brick factory into a canteen. Everyone eats there now."

"You can use money or food, but for us, we use man-hours. This way, many people will go there to eat every day."

"Ah, are we all eating from the same big pot?" Jia Dongxu was very surprised.

"What? The food cooked by Chef He is very good. Although it is fried in the same way, the taste is just right.

“We all love it!”

"Who is leading this? How could there be such a big pot?" Jia Dongxu was surprised.

“It was Master He who suggested it. We were originally going to do it on the farm, but it was inconvenient to go to the farm, so we chose a brick factory that was close by.

We who already eat from the same big pot are very satisfied with this.”

“People in the village are also happy to come here to eat.”

"But in this case, there are about 1500 people who need food every day, including the school, your place, the farm, the villagers, and the compressed biscuits at the brick factory."

"Of course not. There are over 200 students alone!"

Master Lei said with a smile, "It looks quite lively here now!"

"Aren't you worried that there won't be enough food here?" Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry about the food for everyone." Master Lei said that the vegetables from the farm can be provided now, and most of the food in the canteen will be exchanged for grain, so it's still okay."

"It's only been a few days now, everyone is still curious, after a while, I guess there will be fewer people!"

"But it is indeed much more convenient. I see that the people who come to work for Village Chief Jia now have time to rest. They don't have to rush back to cook and eat, and then come back to work."

"This way you can rest better and work faster."

"Oh, this is free, right? What if I don't have enough to eat?" Jia Dongxu thought for a moment, "Before, everyone didn't provide meals."

"I started yesterday, and now I'm working more actively and quickly! Otherwise, why is it so fast?"

Master Lei said, "Thanks to the biscuit factory, otherwise everyone would have no money to eat, and we wouldn't be able to pay our wages."

It seems that Yu Yan directly took all the profits from the compressed biscuits. The brick factory is now not selling bricks to the outside world and cannot make any money.

But it’s not easy to sell bricks now because there are many places that need to be built. It will be much better after the steel mill moves in!

This day will not be too far away, and steel mills can already consider moving part of their production here.

"You can also try to produce some agricultural supplies such as pots and knives, and pay taxes to the new district first."

"The farm doesn't need to pay. All the income goes to the new district. The pig farm has no income yet, so it doesn't need to pay."

"The greenhouse has to pay taxes."

Jia Dongxu was thinking in his mind, a group of people were sent here yesterday, so let's pick one of them to be in charge of this matter.

The future manpower transfers and salaries of all staff will require money to cover expenses. After the university moves in, some subsidies will also have to be given. The canteen is doing well and needs to be expanded.

We also have to invite people to come to the city to build houses, hospitals, and offices, all of which cost money.

The most important thing now is the lack of hospitals!

"Master Lei, choose a place and build the house needed for the hospital first. I will find a way to find some doctors!" Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

There is a shortage of doctors now. If there is no other option, we can find some newly graduated students to fill the gap first. Otherwise, we will have to endure every headache or fever.

If it really doesn't work, just invite a Chinese medicine doctor to come and see patients, and directly set up a Chinese medicine hospital, and then build it later when conditions are better!

"Okay, I'll build it like the school first, and if it doesn't fit, we can rebuild it."

"Okay!" Jia Dongxu nodded. "The schools and hospitals mentioned earlier all have reserved land, right?"

"That's right. Ours is very particular. We can't just build it randomly by learning a direction!"

Master Lei smiled and said, "Take Master He's canteen for example, there are also some considerations when choosing a location. You don't understand these, you just need to know them!"

"We are building a city here. What happens in the future will depend on the current plan."

"Master Lei, now that we have collected the taxes, how about we go to the city and invite someone over?"

"Sure, there are still many people in the city who don't have enough food to eat. Please invite them all over. I just need them. The villagers' skills are still a bit rough for some of the delicate work of building a house.

There are also chairs, beds, etc. used by the school, which all need people.

Maybe we can open a furniture factory in the future and invite some people to come over."

"Okay, Master Lei, please take some time to go back to the city and recruit some people!" Jia Dongxu said with a smile, "As the deputy district chief, it's time for you to go and pick up your family members."

"That's fine. We can build a bunch of houses right now. You guys can bring your family over!"

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but wonder, "Why, everyone is willing to stay?"

Master Lei looked at Jia Dongxu, "District Chief Jia, we are not stupid! This area will be developed in two or three years, we are all very optimistic!"
