To be honest, this small island really suits Wang Shiyu's taste. Not only is the island large in area, but the vegetation coverage rate is also very good. Almost all the trees grow on one side, and the other side is covered with some weeds.
It seems to have clear boundaries, and there is also a freshwater lake on the island. If you want to live there for a few days, you don’t need to bring too much fresh water. You can directly use local materials. There are even a lot of wood here. Even if you want to keep warm, you can survive the winter with wood alone. You can even arrive here by taking a boat. Standing on one side of the island, you can directly see the pier on the Jizhou city side. It is really not far away.
Yu Xiuming looked up at the location she had chosen. This place was not close to the sea, but a fence could be built around it, and a sea of flowers could be planted in the yard. In this way, if one wanted to sit in the yard and watch the sea in the summer, there should be no problem. Moreover, one could see various seas of flowers right in front of him, and the sea could be seen in the distance. If possible, a two-story building could be built directly on it, and a balcony could be directly opened up on the second floor. In this way, one could see the sea directly from the balcony in the open air, and it would even be clearer than when looking in the yard.
“If that’s the case, then we might as well build the house into a double-storey building. When you want to see the sea in the summer, you can just look at it from the second floor. It will not only be clearer, but it will also provide shade. Otherwise, the summer sun will be too painful.
We can also raise some livestock nearby, which will be very convenient for us to eat when we come up. You see, the other side can be directly developed into farmland or an orchard, where we can plant some fruit trees and crops, and raise a couple of horses here, so we can go horseback riding in the afternoon."
Yu Xiuming was very clear about the situation of this island because he had been there in person. When he bought the island, he was attracted by its layout, which was very good. Moreover, the vacant space was very convenient for riding horses. Not only could they see Jizhou City from the island, but they could even see the lights on the top of the Jizhou City Tower. At night, they could see the bright lights of Jizhou City from afar, giving a feeling of the hustle and bustle of the world, especially on the Chinese Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve, when the night of Jizhou City was really brightly lit.
Although this place is not a secluded place far away from people, it is nice to come here to relax when you have nothing to do.
So he thought of arranging some people to live here directly and let them be self-reliant. These people only need to maintain the houses they built and do their own work well on a daily basis. This is much more comfortable than serving them in the mansion. It is estimated that even if the island is built, Wang Shiyu and he will not come here too often. It would be good if they can come once or twice a year. Therefore, it is not worth it to spend a lot of money on it. However, he can still afford to build a few houses and send some people there.
Wang Shiyu also thought about what Yu Xiuming had just said, and studied the drawings carefully for a while. Thanks to the fact that Jizhou City is like spring all year round, except for the very hot summer, the other seasons are not very cold, so it would be great to live there for a few days in summer or autumn.
"That's fine, but we don't need to send too many people up there. It's best to have them bring their families with them. That way, they won't miss their relatives here all the time when they go to the island. Or, if they're already adults and have used their skills, they can stay in the city. It's better for young children to live with their parents so they don't miss them too much."
Wang Shiyu thought for a long time and felt that this would be fine. If they were asked to bring all their families to the island, they would probably gradually become disobedient. It would be better to leave some of their relatives in her hands. In this way, they would not only work obediently, but also be cautious and not do anything that would harm the master.
After listening to what Wang Shiyu said, Yu Xiuming suddenly remembered those shop owners who were hypocritical. In fact, this time when he returned, he planned to deal with all of these shop owners directly. No matter how good his temper was, he would not tolerate these people.
Those who cheated him like this would naturally be dealt with when he got back. Now Wang Shiyu provided him with another idea. If it really didn't work, he could just throw them here to open up wasteland. Anyway, the indentures of these shopkeepers were firmly in his hands. Even if he asked these people to come to the island to open up wasteland, they would not dare to say anything.
This really killed two birds with one stone. It actually helped him because he didn't have to think about how to punish these people. After all, these shopkeepers all had children of their own, and their relationships were not complicated. These children had even begun to get involved in his and Yu's family's business. Some of these children had quite good behavior. He was also worried that if the punishment was too heavy, it would make these people dissatisfied and cause trouble.
Now, if he sends these hypocritical people directly to the island to open up wasteland, it will kill several birds with one stone. Not only can it help him win the hearts of the people, but it can also send these hypocritical people to work, and he won't have to worry about where to kill them and bury them.
"That's fine, then let me take a look at the house here and see how I should design it.
After all, this is an island with strong sea breezes. If you want to build a two-story building, the foundation must be laid well, otherwise it may not be able to withstand the typhoons. Typhoons are rampant in spring and autumn every year."
