Chapter 220 Blueprint
Su Xueyi looked at the architectural drawing that Shen Yueyao drew on paper and felt a little surprised.
Because the architectural drawing drawn by Shen Yueyao was completely different from the buildings he usually saw. It looked like a three-story building, and it was different from some of the restaurants in the town in Beijing.
Shen Yueyao also drew rows of buildings on the paper.
The pictures she painted were unlike those of this era.
In Su Xueyi's concept, painting is done with a brush, but when Shen Yueyao draws something, she finds a piece of charcoal and then draws on paper. It is another unique painting style.
Su Xueyi knew in her heart that this was probably the painting style that Yao Niang learned in that world.
Su Xueyi looked at the wisdom and ability displayed by his Yao Niang and became more curious about that world.
When Shen Yueyao heard Su Xueyi's question, she explained softly: "This is a building on the commercial street, and this is a residential area."
"I'm thinking that as more workshops are built in the future, there won't be enough land in the village. If there's not enough land for workshops, I'll use the land from Liuhe Village to the town. I plan to buy this land and build workshops and a commercial street, and then I can also build residential buildings..."
Su Xueyi's expression changed. "Commercial Street?"
Just by hearing these three words, Su Xueyi roughly understood what they meant, but perhaps only his mother Yao knew the specific plan.
Su Xueyi never interfered with what Shen Yueyao did. For him, as long as Yao Niang was happy, that was all that mattered.
But sometimes Su Xueyi wanted to understand some things, and also wanted to know more about Yao Niang's thoughts, so that he could know how to be good to Yao Niang and what to do for Yao Niang.
Seeing her busy at night drawing these pictures with an oil lamp, Su Xueyi felt very distressed.
I wish I could do everything for Yao Niang.
Shen Yueyao nodded and explained to Su Xueyi seriously, "Well, it's a bustling commercial street. If we build two rows of shops and rent them out, many people will rent them and sell things. With more things sold and more people shopping, this place will become a prosperous area..."
"If we open a farmers' market next door, it will be like a market. Villagers can rent a stall here to sell vegetables, fruits, daily necessities, etc...."
"This place is a combination of a village and a town, so it's a bit out of the way for many people. But when we first rented out the space, we could rent it out for free. We could also open a shop and sell some things, and hire people to run the shop..."
"For example, we can sell lipstick, face cream, ice cream and other things in our own store, one store is dedicated to drugstore and another store is dedicated to selling preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, meat sauce and other things."
"We have many workshops, employing many people, and a lot of people coming here. There will always be people buying things here, and over time this place will become prosperous..."
Su Xueyi listened carefully to Shen Yueyao's words.
Listening to her business plan, Su Xueyi was also shocked.
If Liuhe Village becomes prosperous according to Yao Niang's plan, it will probably be more prosperous than the town.
When the time comes and business becomes prosperous here, it will be easier to do business, and it will naturally attract some merchants to rent shops and sell things.
The more types of things there are, the more people will come to the store to buy things, and the more attractive it will be for merchants to come and sell things.
Moreover, Yao Niang's workshop employs many people and pays her employees high wages and bonuses.
Once everyone has money in their hands and can eat enough and wear warm clothes, they will naturally be willing to buy things.
In this way, the economy develops.
After spending a long time with Yao Niang, Su Xueyi also understood what Yao Niang meant by the economy.
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "In this way, many people will indeed be willing to live in Liuhe Village."
Shen Yueyao explained: "When I went to the workshop before, I sometimes heard people talking about where to live. In fact, many people are thinking about moving to Liuhe Village now."
"It's very convenient for people from Liuhe Village to work in the workshop. They can walk here after breakfast in the morning, go home to cook and eat at noon, and go home early to rest in the evening. But it's not convenient for people from far away. They have to get up very early every day and can't go home to rest at noon. They can only eat in the workshop."
"But since everyone brought their own food, I asked everyone to heat up their food in a large pot so they could eat hot meals."
"Even so, some people have seen business opportunities. Some people sell buns outside the workshop at noon, and the business is very good."
"Some people sell steamed buns, and others come to sell convenient foods such as pancakes and vegetable pancakes. The prices are not expensive, and some people in the workshop will buy one to eat."
Su Xueyi said, "It's because everyone's financial situation has improved and they can earn money, so they are willing to spend a few cents to buy things."
Shen Yueyao's eyes lit up and she said, "Everyone has money in their hands and good conditions. The more willing they are to spend money on things, the easier it will be to sell the things in our workshop."
After listening to Shen Yueyao's words, Su Xueyi had a deeper understanding of the economy.
As she was talking, Shen Yueyao talked about housing and said, "In fact, a well-planned residential area would be very good. Rows of small courtyards would be built, and it would be convenient to live in."
In fact, the most important thing is that the land is cheap. If she wants to build a house, she can design the blueprint herself, and the house will be very beautiful.
If someone wants to live in Liuhe Village, they can buy a house directly.
There is a lot of land in Liuhe Village. If you want to settle here, you can also buy land here directly.
In the past, Liuhe Village was a very remote village with a lot of land, but only dozens of households. But now with workshops being built one after another, Liuhe Village has become a bustling village.
In the past, if you mentioned Liuhe Village to other villages, many people might not know it.
But now when people mention Liuhe Village, everyone knows where it is.
It is said to be a place where workshops are set up.
It is a village that can make chili meat sauce and preserved eggs.
Liuhe Village also produced a scholar who ranked first in the exam.
All in all, Liuhe Village is much better now than before.
Su Xueyi whispered, "Yao Niang, we still have to return to the capital in the future."
Deep down, Su Xueyi wanted to take Yao Niang back to the capital to live, and give Yao Niang the best of everything, so that she could be noble and respected.
Shen Yueyao knew that with Su Xueyi’s knowledge, they would definitely have to return to the capital.
Shen Yueyao said: "I know, I will arrange someone to manage the industry here when the time comes."
"Then, when we get to the capital, we can buy a farm near the capital to grow vegetables and grain, or we can buy a shop and run it there."
"If the court assigns you an official post outside the capital, we can go to the place where you are appointed and continue to grow vegetables and grains and do business. Anywhere is fine."
In fact, Shen Yueyao has a lot of things she wants to do in her mind.
She even thought about opening a medical school to teach medicine to many people, both men and women, so that she could help more people.
Because the medical level of this era is really backward.
If villagers have a headache or fever, they have to go to the town to see a doctor. Some villages are far away from the town, and it is very troublesome for villagers to go to the town.
So Shen Yueyao thought that if there were more doctors, everyone in the village could see a local doctor if they had a headache or fever.
