"How much money do you need to be a developer?" Gu Changming asked

"Of course, the more the better, and now I can use less than 2,000 taels of silver," An Li shrugged.

Gu Changming said, "You're kidding! 2000 taels you dare to do such a thing? "I'm already thinking about how much money I can raise to help An Li.

"I have signed a land use agreement with the county magistrate Guo, and half of the 50,000 taels of silver for the purchase of land will be paid at the end of the year, and it will be paid next year! We only need to build a model house to sell it now, and with sales, we will naturally have the money to build Wan'an Plaza! An Li said confidently

"Come on, are you going to choose a house? Or choose a shop? After An Li finished asking, he didn't wait for Gu Changming to answer, and said: "I don't look like a local, it's useless to buy a house, why don't you buy a shop, so that you can rent it out and collect rent." Saying that, An Li looked at the location of the shop very seriously on the drawing, and it was better.

Gu Changming looked at An Li's self-talk and felt very cute. He smiled and said, "What? You don't want me to be a developer anymore? ”

An Li listened to Gu Changming's words, and said in ecstasy: "It seems that you are very rich!" After that, he said to himself: "1,000 taels to build a model room, 500 taels to build a park, and the rest to build a playground must have a surplus." If you can invest 50,000 taels, no, as long as 10,000 taels, the project can start, and then the money from the sale of the house will continue to be injected in, and you can complete it in the north of the town in a year. ”

An Li happily shook Gu Changming's arm with both hands and said, "Do you have 10,000 taels?" If you can contribute 10,000 taels, you will be able to earn at least 50,000 taels by this time next year."

Gu Changming looked at An Li's hands that were excitedly grabbing his body, and his heart was a little boiling, and he said to An Li: "I will send the silver taels in a few days."

An Li told Gu Changming about the project in detail, and Gu Changming was also enthusiastic when he heard it, and he took the drawings with him when he left.

Back in the bamboo forest, Gu Changming found Xiao Ziyi in the wooden house in the bamboo forest and opened his mouth and said, "You lend me 10,000 taels of silver first, I have an emergency." ”

Xiao Ziyi was writing something, and after listening to Gu Changming's words, he stopped the pen in his hand and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Do you want to borrow it or not?" Gu Changming was a little impatient.

Xiao Ziyi put the pen on the inkstone, and said while wiping his hands with a handkerchief: "Will you take 10,000 taels of silver with you?" ”

Gu Changming also felt that he was a little anxious, so he was embarrassed to take out the drawings he brought back from An Li, and told Xiao Ziyi in detail about An Li's thoughts.

Xiao Ziyi was first shocked by this drawing, and then heard that An Li dared to develop the entire other side of the river for less than 2,000 taels of silver, Xiao Ziyi felt that his brain would not be able to withstand such an impact, if this method was used in Kyoto, it would definitely be a way to make money quickly.

A few days later, when An Li's drawings were just designed, Gu Changming came with a few craftsmen, Gu Changming took a bright yellow token and said to An Li: "Take this, go to the Tongfu Hotel in the county, which is the one we ate last time, go to the shopkeeper Xue, and he will pay you." ”

An Li picked up the token and saw the word "sincerity" written on it, and then put it in his arms.

Seeing that An Li put away the token properly, Gu Changming said again: "Since I am a developer, I will also do my duty, this is the carpenter and stonemason I sent someone to invite from Yangzhou, you can see if you need it first." Then he said to the craftsmen: "This is the Pear Blossom Girl, see if you can get into the eyes of the Pear Blossom Girl!" ”

The craftsmen all said to An Li in fear: "I have seen the pear blossom girl, and I ask the pear blossom girl to teach me a lot." ”

An Li hurriedly said: "It's not about teaching, learn from each other, learn from each other." An Li got to know these craftsmen, including great carpenters, joiners, and stonemasons. He said to Gu Changming with satisfaction, you should be thoughtful, and you will send them all after the start of work in two days.

Gu Changming took the craftsman and walked for a while, and Wen Chuan came back dejectedly, and An Li was happy that the funds were finally in place. Seeing Wen Chuan's lost look, he asked strangely, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

It turns out that Wenchuan has been busy these days to contact various craftsmen and consult the prices of various wood, bricks, and stones. It's okay to consult the price, but I still inquired about the price, but when I went to contact the craftsman, I found a famous carpenter and stonemason, and people didn't like to take care of Wen Chuan's poor clothes when they saw him, and they heard Wen Chuan say that such a big project drove Wen Chuan out as an idiot.

So Wen Chuan went to find Master Ma when he was an apprentice, and when Master Ma saw that Wen Chuan was coming back in the yard, he looked at Wen Chuan with a tea jar and said, "Why did you come back?" We don't have a rule of going and coming back. After that, he looked at Wen Chuan's sturdy body and said, "Forget it, master and apprentice, you can stay!" ”

Wen Chuan hurriedly said: "There are younger brothers and sisters at home to take care of, and Wen Chuan has no plans to come back." This time, I have a job in my hand, and I ask the master to help me with one or two. ”

"Yes! Even if you have filial piety, we don't have a white master and apprentice, and you can still think of the master after taking the job" Master Ma asked with a smile on his face: "Where is the house?" Is it refurbished or newly built? ”

"Newly built, Wan'an Bridge is about to be built, and the county magistrate plans to let us build a number of houses and shops in the north of the bridge." Wenchuan Road

Master Ma squirted out all the tea in his mouth, and Master Ma put the tea jar on the windowsill and wiped the remaining tea on his mouth: "Build a batch of houses in the north of the bridge?" And shops? ”

Xiao Wu, the junior brother who was standing on the side, went over and pulled Wen Chuan to look at it and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Chuan, will the county master let you go to the north of the bridge to build a house?" The county lord has taken a fancy to you? Want to recruit a son-in-law? I haven't heard that the county grandfather's family has a daughter? You dare to think that I don't think you woke up. ”

Wen Chuan was already embarrassed to be dragged by Xiao Wu, but when he heard Xiao Wu say this, his face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, and he stammered: "I, what I said is, yes, it's true." ”

Master Ma walked into the house as if he couldn't see Wen Chuan. Xiao Wu picked up the teapot that was placed on the windowsill by Master Ma, chased after him very dogged, and shouted: "Master, your teapot." ”

Wen Chuan stood in the courtyard alone in embarrassment, neither entering nor leaving. At this time, a person walked over and patted Wen Chuan's shoulder and said, "Let's go." ”

Wen Chuan saw that it was Brother Da Kun, Brother Da Kun was three years older than Wen Chuan, and he was an apprentice who came to study at the same time as Wen Chuan, and he usually took great care of Wen Chuan. Wen Chuan muttered, "What I said is true! ”

Da Kun took out a string of copper coins from his arms and stuffed it to Wen Chuan and said, "You can use this first, it's not much, it's also a little bit of my heart for my younger brothers and sisters."

Wen Chuan stuffed the copper coin stuffed by Da Kun into Da Kun again and said loudly: "What I said is true! Why don't you believe it! With that, he slammed the door and left.

When Wen Chuan told An Li about what had happened, Wen Chuan felt that he had failed so much that he couldn't do anything. An Li looked at the bald Wen Chuan, and didn't know how to comfort him.
