Chapter 2570

And Premier Nan telling him not to pursue this matter was also for his own good. On one hand, it was to make him more broad-minded; on the other hand, the identity of someone who could whisper such things in front of Premier Nan was certainly not ordinary. Premier Nan naturally didn't want him to make more powerful enemies.

Su Xinghui nodded, "Alright, Premier, I understand. I won't take this matter to heart."

Premier Nan said, "You bought such a large courtyard house, how many people are in your family? Do you need such a large courtyard house?"

Su Xinghui didn't expect Premier Nan to still be in the mood for chatting. He smiled and said, "My father retired, so I had him and my mother move in."

Premier Nan said, "That's not bad. People, when they get older, living in a courtyard house is quite good, it's grounded. Now, there aren't many courtyard houses in the capital as large as the one you bought."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, many courtyard houses have been demolished, I think it's quite a pity."

Su Xinghui wanted to take this opportunity to steer the topic to this, because he truly felt it was a pity that these courtyard houses were being demolished.

There were many courtyard houses in the capital, and many of these were fine pieces, representing the culmination of ancient Chinese architectural art and folk culture. However, with the urban renewal of the capital in recent years, many courtyard houses had been demolished. The reason for demolishing courtyard houses was that building high-rises on this land could accommodate more residents.

Of course, there were other factors involved, mainly that these real estate developers had their eyes on the land occupied by these courtyard houses. Good courtyard houses were basically all within the Second Ring Road, which was the golden area of the capital. Land in such an area was a huge fortune.

Now, the land within the Second Ring Road of the capital had basically been developed. To get land here, one had to demolish those old houses, and those courtyard houses naturally became the first choice for demolition.

In recent years, more and more courtyard houses had been demolished, and the remaining ones were getting fewer and fewer, which made Su Xinghui feel very pained.

Premier Nan said, "Oh, do you think these courtyard houses shouldn't be demolished?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's fine to demolish some messy compounds that have no value, but some fine courtyard houses have very high architectural levels and artistic value. If they are also demolished, it's truly a pity. These are the embodiment of the capital's cultural heritage. If all these courtyard houses are demolished and they all become high-rises, then what difference is there between the capital and other cities?"

Premier Nan nodded slowly. He naturally understood this aspect, but he rarely had the opportunity to go below to see it with his own eyes. He didn't know much about the current state of the capital's courtyard houses, nor did he know that many courtyard houses with cultural relic value had been demolished. He only knew that because the capital didn't have enough land, it was undergoing urban renewal and had indeed demolished many houses.

Moreover, this was, after all, a matter directly under the jurisdiction of the capital's government, and Premier Nan couldn't intervene directly.
