"Your Royal Highness and Merton, this way please!"
The Women's and Children's Hospital had just been established and had not started to accept pregnant women. Princess Changle was the first pregnant woman they received. After the checkup, Madam Zhang led them to check the situation of the hospital.
"These rockery and gardens can be kept. The pregnant woman is already agitated and depressed. With these beautiful scenery, she can relax a little." Meton pointed at the rockery and said loudly.
"Thank you, Merton." Madam Zhang said gratefully. The rockery and gardens of the Prince's Mansion in the previous dynasty were extremely exquisite. Ordinary people could not appreciate them. Meton's move was a great benefit.
"In addition, I have asked the Mo's Village to prepare more green plants. They can be transplanted here at the beginning of spring next year. At that time, the hospital will be green all year round." Meton looked at the withered trees in the Prince's Mansion and waved his hand.
Madam Zhang's eyes lit up. The Mo's Village was green all year round and beautiful. It had already been known in Chang 'an. She did not expect that the hospital she was in charge of would be the same.
Princess Changle listened and could not help smiling sweetly. She knew that Meton's move was prepared for her pregnancy.
"That is?"
However, even if Princess Changle had expected it, she was still shocked by Meton's preparation. In front of her, a reinforced concrete building was rising from the ground. The construction site was extremely large.
Meton looked at Princess Changle and said proudly, "This is the delivery room I prepared for you when you are about to give birth."
Madam Zhang said proudly, "According to Brother Mo Jiazi, when the delivery room is built, it will be five floors high and can accommodate hundreds of pregnant women at the same time. At that time, this building will be the delivery room and the old courtyard of the Prince's Mansion will be the outpatient clinic. Only then will the Women's and Children's Hospital truly take shape."
With hundreds of pregnant women hospitalized at the same time, even if one-fifth of them gave birth in a day, it was not a small number. Once the delivery room was built, there would be tens of thousands of babies born in the Women's and Children's Hospital every year. What an incredible number it would be.
Princess Changle was touched, but she rolled her eyes at Meton and said, "It's inconvenient for a pregnant woman to move around. The floor is so high. Do you want me to climb the stairs?"
Meton and Princess Changle's new villa only had three floors. Princess Changle had just gotten pregnant and felt tired climbing stairs every day, not to mention the five-story building in front of her.
Meton smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Do you still remember the lift secretly developed by the Mo Family Village? If a pregnant woman takes the lift herself up and down, it will be as easy as walking on flat ground. "
"The lift is ready to be used?" Princess Changle said in surprise. She had seen that magical lift before. As long as a person sat on it, they would automatically go up or down without moving their feet.
"Basically, the development has been completed. Although it can only carry three people, it's enough to transport pregnant women." Meton said proudly. For the sake of Princess Changle's delivery, he had taken out all the cutting-edge technology of the Village Mo.
…
"Hello, young master!" The arrival of Meton had already alarmed Mo Jiazi's younger brother who was in charge of the construction of the building. Zhang Yang, the second son of the old man, was responsible for supervising the construction of Meton's new villa. When he saw Meton, he immediately came and bowed to him.
"When can the building be completed?" Meton asked.
"Young master, I'll be able to complete it within 5 months. With the addition of one more month of decorations, I'll be able to complete it within 6 months. I'll be able to complete it before the princess gives birth." Zhang Yang promised.
"Quality and quantity are guaranteed. There can be no carelessness. Don't save money." Meton solemnly exhorted.
"Young master, you can rest assured. The village head has ordered that all the workshops in the Village Mo will be provided to the princess first. I promise that the princess will not be disappointed." Zhang Yang straightened his body and said proudly. The Village Mo today was no longer the poor village a few years ago. Now the Village Mo had won the achievements of the Tang dynasty. With the unlimited support of manpower, material and financial resources of the Village Mo, the building changed three times a day. Five months was a conservative estimate.
The Village Mo attached great importance to the building of the Hospital for Women and Children was only one of the reasons for the future heir of the Mo family. The building was also regarded as a symbol of the Village Mo's achievement.
If the Village Mo built such a tall building by themselves, they would feel like nouveau riche. But it was reasonable to build such a tall building for the Hospital for Women and Children. In fact, if it were not for the fear that the building was too high and the extra construction period, the Mo family would probably build the building higher.
Meton lowered his head and calculated. The building of the Hospital for Women and Children had five floors. Each floor was about three meters. The total height was about five meters, which was equivalent to about 15 meters in the future. It did not exceed the standard of the royal family, not to mention that it was built for Princess Changle nominally.
In fact, in the Tang dynasty, the towers of Taoism and Buddhism were both higher than the royal family. So, it was not a big deal for the Medical School to build a building. But the Medical School was just rising, so there was no need to get into trouble in this aspect.
"Isn't this spending too much money?" After Zhang Yang had received his orders and left, Princess Changle felt somewhat uneasy.
Although she was born in the royal family and did not worry about money, when she saw the magnificent layout of the building in front of her, she knew that it must cost a lot. She did not want to spend so much money just to give birth to a child. She was afraid that people would gossip about it.
Merton shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my wife. Although it cost a lot, it's worth it. A hospital building made of reinforced concrete can be used for at least hundreds of years. On average, the annual cost is very low."
Mrs. Zhang nodded. Even if the building had already cost tens of thousands of strings of cash, it would only cost a hundred strings of cash per year. It was very cost-effective to own the building with a hundred strings of cash per year.
"Besides, the Hospital for Women and Children can be said to be the first women's hospital in the Tang dynasty. When the time comes, all the pregnant women near Chang 'an will come to Chang' an for treatment. If we only build ordinary houses, I'm afraid that the whole mansion will not be able to accommodate them. In comparison, the cost will be higher. If we want to build a hospital in Chang 'an that can accommodate more people, the only way is to build a tall building." Meton pointed to the huge mansion and explained. Changle was extremely sensitive after being pregnant. He did not want to burden her because of this. "This is the first building.
From now on, it will be the second and third, or even bigger and taller than this. Buddhism and Taoism use the Taoist Tower and the Buddhist Pagoda as symbols. The Academy is the pride of Confucianism. The Mo Family uses the tall building as a symbol. The taller the building is, the stronger it is. It has a wide range of uses and shows the strength of the Mo Family. "
President Zhang chimed in from the side, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. In my opinion, the hospital should be the one to use the most skyscrapers. Take the Mo Hospital for example. His Highness the Crown Prince donated such a vast area of land, but it has already been used up. Even so, there's still a shortage of beds. After our Women's and Children's Hospital building is completed, this old one believes that the Mo Hospital will be the next to follow.
Meton nodded and said, "Yes, this is the general trend. I've also said that Chang 'an is the capital. The basic reason for the high housing prices is that there are too many people and too little land. If we want to solve the problem of Chang' an, we have to build tall buildings and use the least amount of land to accommodate more people. When the time comes, Chang 'an will be full of tall buildings. My wife, I hope you don't mind that this five-story building is too short."
"A five-story building is too short." Princess Changle looked at the towering building in front of her. She had never thought that one day someone would complain that a five-story building was too short. In her opinion, once the building was built, it would inevitably become the tallest building in Chang 'an.
