Chapter 239 Planning the Villa
Chapter 239 Planning the Villa
At this time, Su Tang and Professor Tian looked at Tian Ningxue together, "Are you willing to be my daughter?"
"Yeah." Tian Ningxue nodded in agreement.
In this way, Tian Ningxue was integrated into Su Tang's team.
Perhaps it was because Tian Ningxue had been growing up in the secret territory of southern Xinjiang, and the people she came into contact with on a daily basis were fewer than the poisonous insects, so her character was naturally simpler.
Tian Ningxue doesn't beat around the bush, as can be seen from her insistence on asking Su Tang to give her a black card.
So Su Tang is also very relieved about Tian Ningxue.
Now Tian Ningxue is with Professor Tian, who is teaching her with the same method he used in his previous life. I believe Tian Ningxue will not go astray.
After dealing with Tian Ningxue's matter, Su Tang went to find Sun Yueyun.
"Miss." Sun Yueyun was called alone and was a little confused, but she still walked into the house and bowed to Su Tangyingying sensibly.
The lady's upbringing has never been forgotten by her because of the hardships of the world.
Su Tang nodded with satisfaction and took out a handwritten copy of the memorial approved by Emperor Jing himself and handed it to Sun Yueyun.
The original copy was naturally taken by the Xuan paper officials to the place where Sun Yueyun's father was exiled.
"This?" Sun Yueyun held the memorial in both hands and looked at Su Tang in confusion.
"Open it and take a look." Su Tang raised her head.
Sun Yueyun opened the letter, and the contents inside made her hold her breath. She didn't come back to her senses until she carefully read every word on it.
Suddenly, Sun Yueyun looked up, her eyes filled with tears.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips trembled slightly, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, "Miss, is this true?"
"It's true. It's realer than gold." Su Tang embraced Sun Yueyun. The thin person trembled in her arms, and her tears wet Su Tang's thin clothes.
Su Tang immediately pulled it open a little and looked at the water stains on her body, "Hey, you have to accompany me to change clothes later."
"Yeah, okay." Although Sun Yueyun still couldn't control her tears, a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Your parents should be returning to Beijing in a few days to express their gratitude. When I go back, I will take you and your sister back with me. This is your indenture contract." Su Tang took out two more indenture contracts and handed them to Sun Yueyun.
When she bought them, she never thought that she would also have the identity of a princess. Now she has enough people around her, and they have always been well-behaved in the Su family, so she just let them go free.
Besides, her father was a poor man who was misjudged by Emperor Jing. Su Tang letting them go could be considered as accumulating merit for herself. Since the time travel incident could happen, she, an atheist, was no longer so materialistic.
"Thanks, Miss Yueyun." Holding the indentures of herself and her brother, Sun Yueyun knelt down.
"No need. I've already said that kneeling is not a custom here." Su Tang lifted Sun Yueyun up with her hand. "Come on, accompany me to choose a nice dress."
"Yes." Sun Yueyun burst into laughter and took Su Tang's arm. Just like they did with their best friend in Beijing before, she went back to the room with Su Tang to choose clothes.
When Sun and Zhang heard that Sun Yueyun and the others had regained their identities and might leave Dahe Village in the future, they were very happy and prepared a lot of Dahe Village specialties and piled them in the room of the siblings.
"This is a good thing. From now on, you will all be children from good families." Zhang was not good at speaking, but Sun Yueyun knew what she meant. She just smiled and nodded in response.
During the time she was at the Zhao family, the Zhao family had never deducted food and clothing from her and her brother. Although life was worse than when they were in Kyoto, it was much better than when they were in the hands of human traffickers.
In winter, we not only have thick cotton clothes, but we can also eat well and sleep well every day.
Sun Yueyun was very grateful to the Zhao family. Now Su Tang not only brought her the news that her father would be reinstated, but also gave her freedom.
Looking at the many items placed in the house, Sun Yueyun shed tears again. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I will come to see you often in the future."
"Okay, come back often in the future." Sun patted Sun Yueyun's shoulder and said.
This is Su Tang.
Su Tang informed Zhao Youtian that she was going to build a villa on the mountain on the other side of the valley.
Zhao Youtian stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying, "I have no objection to building the villa, but before we build the villa, we still have to build a separate road leading to the villa."
When Su Tang came back a few days ago, she was stopped by the villagers at the entrance of the village. This made Zhao Youtian realize that if they wanted to develop, they must separate from the villagers of Dahe Village.
It's not that he looked down on the people of Dahe Village, but he felt that no matter whether the villa was built in the future, or if there were any guests coming to the villa, or if anyone came to see Mr. Tian for medical treatment, they would have to pass through the entrance of Dahe Village every time to enter, which would inevitably attract some villagers to watch.
The nobles in the city hated no one prying into their privacy, and Zhao Youtian was very clear about this when he was working as an imperial physician.
"Yeah, that's what I mean." Su Tang thought so too.
"To build the road, we need to go to the city for approval..." Zhao Youtian had just finished speaking when he suddenly slapped his head. The kingdom of Dayong belonged to Su Tang's real father, so why did he need approval? Now that Governor Hu knew Su Tang's identity, it would only take a word for it.
Zhao Youtian smiled and said, "Then let's see how the road is built. By the way, where do you think the villa is located?"
Su Tang smiled and took out a map of Dahe Village, which she had taken when she scanned Huangyan Mountain next to Dahe Village. It had now been clearly drawn into a blueprint.
"This is Huangyan Mountain in our Dahe Village." Zhao Youtian looked at the clear image and asked in surprise.
There were many magical objects in Su Tang's space, which Zhao Youtian had seen before. However, Su Tang had never shown Zhao Youtian the computers, some modern equipment, and various hot weapons.
On the one hand, Zhao Youtian doesn’t use these things on a daily basis, and Su Tang is too lazy to do some useless science popularization.
"Well, it's clear, right? The mountains here are gentler, and there is a rocky base underneath..." Su Tang circled a location on the map with a red pen and explained it to Old Man Su.
"Well, the environment here is indeed better than other places. There are more trees here, and the sun shines on this surface more hours every day." After listening to Su Tang's words, Zhao Youtian also expressed his own opinions.
"Then let's build a road along here." Su Tang used a pen to draw a rough route along the terrain of the mountains.
"Okay, this will bypass the village. Next time when you come from the county town, just go this way." Zhao Youtian nodded in response.
Su Tang spent the entire afternoon discussing the planning of the villa with Zhao Youtian.
Zhao Youtian has been here for more than ten years and knows the situation of Huangyan Mountain in more detail than Su Tang.
"I chose this side to build the villa for another reason. The water in the pool in our valley also has a tributary on this side of the mountain."
These were all analyzed when scanning the mountain. After all, Su Tang had military equipment in his hands, so the analysis after the scan was more detailed.
"There is a mountain spring here too. That's good. This way the villa will also have a solution to its water problem in the future."
The reason why Dahe Village is called Dahe Village is because there is a wide river not far from the village, and the village has never lacked water.
The riverbed here is low and the water has not risen for hundreds of years, so Dahe Village is considered a treasure land.
"I'm thinking of asking Master Zheng and his team, who helped us build the valley houses in the city, to build the villa." We had a very pleasant cooperation with Master Zheng and his team before, and Master Zheng and his team could understand some of the modern concepts that Su Tang mentioned.
The houses in the valley now were built by Master Zheng and his team, which can be regarded as a successful trial of Sutang.
"Well, at the beginning of spring, Master Zheng came to the valley with gifts, but we were not there at the time, so he came empty-handed." Zhao Youtian replied.
"I'll have someone invite them over tomorrow, and we can discuss this together then."
On the second day, Master Zheng received an invitation from Su Tang. He dropped everything and followed Su Tang to Dahe Village that day.
"I heard a message that you are a princess?" Master Zheng looked at Su Tang happily and asked as soon as they met.
Seeing Su Tang nod, Master Zheng immediately leaned over and knelt down.
He came in a hurry today, and he came alone with the messenger.
Master Zheng's face flushed with excitement, and he said with trembling lips, "Haha, I never thought that one day I would be able to build a house for a princess."
Su Tang looked at Master Zheng's wrinkled smiling face and smiled too, "Yeah, I didn't expect that I was still a princess."
"Hahaha..." Master Zheng laughed heartily.
"I invited Master Zheng here today because I want to discuss business with you." Su Tang brought Master Zheng into the wooden house. There was a drawing on the table. It was the one that Su Tang had marked when she discussed with Zhao Youtian before.
Looking at the clear picture in front of him, Master Zheng said in surprise: "Looking at this picture is like standing on the edge of a mountain and looking at the mountains in front of you. Which master painted this picture?"
As he spoke, Master Zheng reached out and touched the picture at the corner of the drawing.
When I raised my hands again, there was no paint on them.
Master Zheng looked at his fingertips and smelled the scent on them. There was still no smell of paint.
Master Zheng raised his head and looked at Su Tang in confusion.
"This painting was created by a master. Please take a look at our ideas and see if they are correct."
Su Tang then pointed to several places on the drawing and began to carefully explain her ideas to Master Zheng.
After talking for an hour, Master Zheng finally agreed with Su Tang on the future construction plan of the villa.
"This job requires too much manpower and material resources, so it will probably take a long time." After Master Zheng finished speaking, he seemed to remember Su Tang's current identity.
He slapped his forehead and laughed awkwardly a few times, "Hahaha, I forgot about it. Now that you agree, I guess these won't be difficult."
"Not necessarily. As for the people needed for construction, Master Zheng will need you to take care of them in the future."
"The person is indeed...what did you say? You mean...this job is given to me?" Master Zheng just said something following Su Tang's words, and suddenly remembered what Su Tang meant.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Tang. In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of uncertainty on his face. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong.
This is a big job, even bigger than building a new government office for a wealthy family.
Master Zheng never expected that such a huge project would fall on him. He pinched his thigh in disbelief, and the pain made him realize that all this was true.
Su Tang couldn't help but smile at Master Zheng's actions, turned around, took out a small wooden box from a box in the house and placed it on the table.
"Here is the deposit I gave to Master Zheng. I will have to ask you to cooperate with my father in the construction of the villa."
Su Tang opened the small box and found piles of golden bars inside.
Su Tang and Master Zheng signed the contract, which detailed the details of the villa's construction. Of course, the final construction conditions of many places would have to be determined based on the construction situation, which was also finally written into the contract.
The contract was made in triplicate, with Su Tang and Master Zheng each holding one copy, and the other copy was kept by Magistrate Hu. After all, they were going to build a large villa and also construct roads, so they had to report to the government.
"I will go back and recruit some people and contact timber merchants." Master Zheng returned to the city happily, holding the contract and the small box of gold bars in his lapel.
After finishing Su Tang's job, he will be able to brag about it for the rest of his life.
"Should we use some villagers?" Zhao Youtian walked to Su Tang and asked as he watched Master Zheng leave.
"No need. With my current status, those people dare not do anything."
Of course, Su Tang did not completely ignore the people of Dahe Village. She still had to give them some benefits. After all, if a group of poor people gathered next to the villa all year round, it would not be conducive to the development of the villa.
That day, Su Tang asked someone to call Village Chief Liu and told him about her plan to build a villa.
"This, this is a good thing." Village Chief Liu agreed.
"Our village has an excellent geographical location, and there is almost no bad land." Su Tang raised her hand, and Zhao Nanxing moved two bags from the wall.
"This bag is sweet potatoes, and this bag is potatoes, both of which are high-yield crops."
These are still in Su Tang's space. Su Tang got them in the cafeteria after the cafeteria space was unlocked.
At that time, Su Tang sent all the potatoes and sweet potatoes stored in the cafeteria to the vegetable fields in the space for planting.
This batch is produced in the space. In addition to being consumed by the people in the space, most of the output is kept by Su Tang as seeds.
The preservation ability in the space is still good, and it will not sprout no matter how long it is left.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes were crops that did not exist in this era, so when Su Tang took them out, Village Chief Liu was a little surprised and picked up one in each hand and looked at it carefully.
Then he put his nose close to it and sniffed it, "Are these two edible?"
"Well, this sweet potato can be eaten raw, but this potato must be cooked before it can be eaten." Su Tang said, pointing to the two crops.
"Village Chief Liu will stay in the valley tonight. I will have someone prepare these two things and ask him to taste them." Su Tang said with a smile.
"Oh, haha, well then, I'll apologize for disturbing you, Princess." After knowing Su Tang's identity, it was the first time that Village Chief Liu was invited by the Su family to have dinner together. He was a little flattered.
