241 6.35 Housing Development Board

Because of the interruptions that we had earlier, everyone had a very late lunch and everyone sat in the meal areas of the employees and were served by the 'aunties'.

We had garlic fried rice, boiled egg, grilled fish, stir-fried mustard and deep-fried batter cakes filled with fresh anchovies, red and green chilli, onions and chives.

It was a simple yet wonderful lunch freshly prepared by our 6 'aunties'. For dessert, there was this so-called 'Dango' but were filled with palm sugar and was boiled and then rolled with grated coconut. It was called 'Ondeh Ondeh' in some Asian Countries but also spreads to the Netherlands and the 'aunties' were able to search the Internet for more new recipes to woo the employees as well as visitors... Hahahaha... Internet... How I wished!

So when Tokugawa first tasted it, he called it a Ninja Bomb because he took a bite and the Dango Ball simply explodes in his mouth with bursting sweet plan sugar and he can't help but cover his mouth to slowly chew while his eyes were as big as these Dango Balls. So far I haven't seen people eyes as big as saucers so please stop bullshitting the readers, ok? Saucers my ass...hahahahha

After late lunch, we skipped afternoon tea because we have the Ondeh Ondeh Dango Balls to munch for tea and decided to stop since it would kill our appetite for dinner soon.

"Kayu-san, could I have a moment with half of your sketch pad and sit here next to me. His Majesty would also want to take a look at the plan for the 40 layers of the new district."

I asked him to draw out a simple layout for 4 houses on the plot. One side has the 2 bedroom unit and the other a 1 bedroom unit. These 6 houses would have a bath and kitchenette much like Hiko-sama's house. I told him that the 1 bedroom unit would have a collapsible partition while the 2 bedrooms ould have a collapsible too for the first room.

This collapsible would be meant to be expanded when the bedroom was not in use and be like a dining and living space altogether. Kayu-san liked the idea since it would eliminate the use of more wood. Also, the houses would be built on half bricked walls right up to a height 60 inches high or 12 bricks high.

Bato-san was invited to attend the meeting too and he liked the idea. He said that mortar would be mixed in between to strengthen the wall structure. Since it was only 60 inches high, there won't be a need for a rebar since our bricks are solid. Only thing is that the work must be perfectly inlined.

I agree with him and I made a note to Kayu-San that the existing construction for the houses in the south would remain as it is and to implement on the new lots instead. There is no need to demolish the projects.

40 layers of New District, with 40 lots divided by 2 and a footpath of at least 4 feet wide each layer. And each lot would have 4 houses with a water tower in the middle. It would generate up to 6400 houses.

The cost for a 1 bedroom house would be set at 40 gold coins while 2 bedrooms would cost 70. With these 4 such houses per lot, the whole construction would cost 128,000 for the 1 bedroom unit and 224,000 for the 2 bedroom unit. The total costs for the New District would be 352,000 gold coins.

"Sensei, you need to open 2 ledgers for the housing loans. There won't be a physical transfer from Fasuto Japan since its fully funded and the housing loans are for those who would make the purchase of a 50 repayment of a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom units. Their cost is 50 and 100 respectively."

"Kayu-san, these new houses would be unfurnished and there no need to cement the whole place. Only cement the internal house. Leave the courtyard as it is."

"All you need to do it to temporarily cease the southern project and embark on the northern side. I'm sure our residents would like to purchase these new units."

"Bato-san, are you good at making models? Could you make a large model based on the drawings made by Kayu-san and bring it to us and then we could display it a the ground floor of our community building, in front of the drawings of the Wonder 8? "

"Sure Yours Truly, leave the job to me. Considered it done in a few days and I'd present you the models soonest possible. I would do the models here in this canteen if it is alright with Yours Truly."

"Perfect...! Your request is being granted. See to it then. Thank you Bato-san. We really appreciate your effort."

"The pleasure is mine, Yours Truly." with that Bato-san left as he had to attend to his other tasks which were marking out the river to turn it into a canal with the exact width.

Tokugawa Iemochi looked at me and wondered, just by a few simple suggestions, he knew which people are capable of doing with their best knowledge. It takes a commoner to know another commoner and he knew he had picked the best person to be the Mayor and a Governor.

A great leader that stands among the people and leads by example, while showing compassion and understand the needs of his people.

"In just a short while, Himura would be able to churn 224,000 gold coins earnings for the Treasury just for the construction of 6400 houses on the New District. On top of that, there are still 20 more layers to complete and that could easily rake in 112,000 gold coins for the Old District if he implements the new housing project." thought Tokugawa Iemochi as he pondered on the drawings by Kayu-san.

Since Kitakata is the main core of the development, other smaller villages and settlements would soon slowly merge and make New Kitakata Town be bustling with life, the same as he had plans for the river to be a canal after dredging it deeper with the help of the dragons.

Tokugawa Iemochi never knew that this common man in front of him could do wonder in less than 6 months given the opportunity of expanding his corporation and bringing comfort to the lives of the resident.

By then, Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha had reached its influence right till 90% of Japan's surface, and may even reach South Korea and China in the months to come.

Tokugawa Iemochi had certain influences in South Korea and may get the assistance of his ambassadors to reach out to South Korea and visit Fukushima through Niigata by sea. He thought that by doing this would further increase the output for the deposits and growth of Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha.

Kayu-san informed that he and his 120 strong teams would do the marking of the plot by tomorrow by the full force and the land would still be based on a 10 meters by 10 metres plot.

Once they had made at least about 5 layers, the brick wall foundation would be in place. By then the construction of the first house in the New District would be made. Kayu-san mentioned that the fabrication would be made from his warehouse and brought over, so the bricks had to be made pronto.

Hiko-sama and I looked at each other and nodded. We both knew tonight would be a busy night since we would garner all the mud we can get and manufacture them in bulk over at our Realm of Mind.

After dinner, we excused ourselves from Tokugawa Iemochi and mentioned that we have a task to do. We advised him to return to the castle for his rest and be right back here for breakfast.

Furthermore, he doesn't have cooks there and only his two advisors would be accompanying him back. He nodded and made his way back to the castle by horse since his carriage was too large to enter our town and were left at the outskirts of town.
