Chapter 2620: Reconstruction begins
Chapter 2620 Reconstruction begins
"Yes." Marquis Ning'an stroked his beard and looked at his granddaughter: "Aran, thank you for your hard work."
Murong Lingran said: "It's not hard, but the weather is getting warmer now, and most of the victims have some money. Now it's time to think about rebuilding. When they get better, we can go back to Beijing. ."
Ning'an Hou said: "What you said is indeed reasonable. Since you proposed reconstruction, do you have any good suggestions now?"
"There is a suggestion." Murong Lingran said: "Just like Lihua Village, it should be adapted to local conditions. If it is built on the side of the road, there must be a place for carriages to pass through. Also, in order to avoid encountering an earth dragon in the future, the house will collapse. It’s better to let them all build blue brick houses. If you have money, build more spacious ones, and if you don’t have money, build smaller ones, but they must be blue brick houses, and I have no other suggestions.”
Originally, she had thought that the houses in those villages would be built just like the rural plans she had seen in her previous life. People would be gathered in one place, and the houses would be built exactly the same, so that it would be easier to manage.
But considering the vast land and resources of Xuanqing, there is no need for this at all, and the money for each household is different. Some people have more money and want to build a bigger one.
Some people want to build big yards, some want to build small yards, the money they earn so hard should be their own decisions.
Otherwise, if the money is not enough, she would never be able to help them post. She didn't do this to many people in Lihua Village who were kind to their family.
Let them work in her fields to make money, pay 40 cents a day of wages, and let them eat meat three times a day. She has done her best to them.
Ning Anhou looked at the others again: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Everyone shook their heads at the same time.
Ning Anhou said: "I have something to say."
Murong said: "Grandpa, please speak."
The Marquis of Ning'an looked at his granddaughter seriously and said: "Aran, thanks to you, the cost of the military camp in the past few months has been unprecedentedly low, and because you are responsible for the food of most of the victims, the disaster relief allocated by the imperial court There is also a lot of silver left. So I wrote to Your Majesty earlier to take half of the remaining military spending and disaster relief silver to help the victims build houses."
"After all, some people only have one labor force. The wages of forty cents a day are only one or two hundred cents a month, and four or two or eight hundred cents in four months, which is not enough for fifty taels of silver."
"This amount of money is probably not enough to build a solid and livable blue brick house."
Murong said: "Grandpa, what do you mean, subsidize those poor people with money so that they can afford to build brick houses?"
"Yes."
Murong said: "Grandpa, I think this idea is very good, I agree."
The rest also said: "I agree too."
"I agree too."
"We all agree."
Ning'an Hou said: "Since everyone doesn't agree, Aran, you can do it. As long as there is only one labor force in the family, each household will subsidize seven taels of silver to build houses for them."
Murong nodded: "I understand, I will send some people back to build houses one after another. But Grandpa, some people will definitely think that it is enough to have a house to live in. After receiving the subsidy, they may save it and keep it. For other purposes, mud brick houses are still built. Grandpa Lao will have to send someone to supervise them, otherwise they will still be the target of disaster relief for the imperial court, and the imperial court will have to spend more money on relief.”
