Not only has things changed, but this person has also changed a lot.

Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen have also transformed from chicks to finished birds, especially Cao Xiaodong, Guo Dan almost didn't recognize it, not only has he grown a lot taller, but the lines have also become thicker, and even his temperament has become more stable.

Although Chenchen has also grown a little taller, he is still white and clean, especially able to talk, and when he sees Guo Dan, he chatters endlessly.

Indeed, the changes that have taken place in Weihui Mansion in the past two years are too great, and there is so much to say.

"Advisor Guo!"

"Yikes! It was Advisor Guo who came. ”

"Advisor Guo!"

.....

When Guo Dan and the others came to the northeast corner of the city, they found that there were many people standing on the sentry tower, and they waved to him very enthusiastically.

Aunt Xu was surprised: "How can this person stand on the watchtower? ”

At the beginning, due to the inconvenience of goods in and out of the city, Guo Dan asked Xu Guangqi to transform the city wall of the city, and the city wall on the north side was basically demolished, but many fortifications were built, and this guard tower was also one of them.

Chenchen scratched his neck and said with a little regret: "These are useless, I was going to dismantle them, but then I felt that it was a pity to dismantle them, so I kept them for everyone to play, and the scenery on it was good." ”

Aunt Xu said: "Play? ”

Weihui Mansion extends in all directions, one horse and Pingchuan, and the city defense still needs to be demolished, you are really big-hearted!

Guo Dan said: "It may be that there are too many firearms in the Grand Canyon, and it is unlikely that the enemy will come to the city, and they feel that there is not much need." ”

Chen Chen nodded and said: "Uncle is right, there is this reason, and it happened that the big workshops in the city began to move out, and everyone thought that the city wall could not protect the big workshops outside, at that time, Director Zhao and Brother Xu began to plan the relocation of the workshops, and arranged those workshops on important roads, and they were all equipped with turrets and guard towers, once the war started, those workshops could become the fortifications of our Weihui Mansion." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "I see." ”

Guo Dan said depressedly: "I knew this earlier, I dismantled it directly at the beginning, and spent so much money, but it was useless at all, what a waste of money!" ”

Chenchen nodded and said, "We all think it's a waste. ”

It took a lot of money and energy to renovate this city wall at that time, and it took two or three years to build it, but it turned out that it was useless as soon as it was built.

Blood deficit within blood deficit.

also landed a topic that was satirized.

Many literati often used these city defenses to satirize Guo Dan.

This is really not as good as heaven!

Whether it is the deputy chief soldier who is staying here now, or Zhao Shizhen, they all think that this city wall has become useless, and if the enemy is under the city, it means that all the military industries of the Grand Canyon will be lost.

That's still a hair!

The defense force must be arranged in the border area, and now the workshops of Weihui Mansion are all built very strongly, and they are built according to the standards of the city wall, but most of them are paid by the merchants themselves, and Guo Dan is not allowed to pay.

After all, Guo Dan paid a lot of money for Weihui Mansion, and he was embarrassed to ask Guo Dan for this little money, after all, this small amount of money is too much, and it is not easy to ask for big money.

What's even more ironic is that the original renovation was also for the convenience of entering and exiting goods, but now all the workshops have been moved out, and there are still a lot fewer cars on the road.

Today's Luwang Mansion is full of restaurants, hotels, and green buildings.

The rental income has also changed from 10,000 taels at the beginning to 60,000 taels today.

Because restaurants, hotels, and green buildings are very profitable, especially in Weihui Mansion now, there are too many wealthy businessmen in Weihui Mansion, and the rent is naturally increasing day by day.

When he came to his small courtyard, Cao Xiaodong suddenly said: "Brother Guo, do you know that this small courtyard no longer accepts our money." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Guo Dan never owned a property, until now he doesn't even have a property in his hands, he lives in a small courtyard in Weihui Mansion, and it has always belonged to Chen Loude, which must be paid.

Cao Xiaodong said: "This is all the credit of Chenchen." ”

"Really?"

Guo Dan asked Chenchen, "You married the daughter of the Chen family?" ”

"It's not! No! ”

Chen Chen shook his head, his little face was red, and then he said: "Since those big workshops moved away, several big rich people have also opened hotels here, and they still want to rob Chen Lou's business, but Chen Lou just said a word, and they are all gone." ”

"What?" Guo Dan said curiously.

"That means uncle, you live here! Therefore, the courtyard next door is also the most expensive courtyard in Chen Lou, if you want to live next door, you have to give at least three times the price, I think Chen Lou can no longer accept our money, this is not fair. ”

"Boy, yes!"

Guo Dan smiled and said: "This is a matter of course, although I will not move out, but since Chen Lou wants to advertise with us, he will naturally have to give benefits." ”

Chen Chen nodded again and again: "That's it, that's it, let's live in Chen Lou to give Chen Lou face, and many hotels are willing to give us money to let me live." ”

Guo Dan asked again: "Are those big landlords still making trouble now?" ”

Chenchen said: "Last year, it was very fierce, but it was not because of our problems, they heard that the uncle would subsidize them when he arrived, and they didn't mention it again, they all believed that the uncle would not lie to them, last year was mainly for the sake of water power, because the big workshop also needs water power, which has a conflict with farmland irrigation."

In the end, those landlords and businessmen went to the court, and after three months of lawsuits, in the end, it was Brother Xu and them who came forward and re-planned the farmland irrigation area by moving out of the big workshop, in fact, if it was reasonably planned, they could not use so much water. ”

In the past, irrigation was all agricultural, but now the workshop also needs water, and the landlord is of course very unhappy.

Cao Xiaodong said again: "Now there are emotions are not big landlords, but those businessmen, because many mountains and forests are the feng shui of the township, businessmen want to break ground over there, and the villagers have to stop it, and the court president is all gentry, of course they are partial to the villagers, in order to prevent businessmen from destroying feng shui, they also formulated the law of mountain, forest, fishery and animal husbandry according to the "Book of Rites, Moon Order", and now it is difficult to cut down a tree in Weihui Mansion. ”

"It's a rite again, what a month, I still have menstruation."

Guo Dan was a little annoyed when he heard it, and said: "You can't escape the etiquette when you do a deal, their court really takes itself seriously, this is just the beginning, you can't move this, you can't move that, then it's a fart!" ”

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Aunt Xu said: "I believe that the court is by no means biased in favor of the villagers, because the monthly order is mainly to explain the law of the growth and reproduction of all things, and it is necessary to make appropriate claims, and it is not reasonable to fish with all the water?" ”

This is because of the unity of heaven and man pursued by China, which can be seen from the ancient buildings, as much as possible to integrate the building and the mountains and forests, it seems to be very harmonious, and the people in the court are all gentry, and they do not like to destroy the environment very much.

Guo Dan wondered: "Etiquette still cares about this?" ”

Aunt Xu said, "Don't you know how to read books yourself?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Let's wait until I finish reading "Zuo Biography". ”

Cao Xiaodong sneered: "The layman is very right, that's what the court said. ”

Chen Chen said: "Actually, we have also gone to the court before, but they said that you must support it, uncle." ”

Guo Dan wondered: "When will I support them to do this." ”

Chen Chen said: "Because Kaifeng Mansion is stricter, those are the rules set by you, uncle." ”

Guo Dan said excitedly: "They will really change the concept, Kaifeng Mansion is because I originally planned to build a reading mecca over there with birds and flowers, so I did that, but Weihui Mansion is mainly based on industry and commerce, this is not the same thing, this..., has this matter been solved now?" ”

Chen Chen said: "It's solved for the time being, didn't I say it before, those big workshops are now built at important intersections, in case of war, they will be requisitioned for city defense, and those places have been requisitioned by the guard, the military camp is also willing, and the merchants are also willing, after all, they are all at the intersection, which is convenient for transporting goods."

Some are built on the former wasteland, but there is no wasteland in Weihui Mansion, everything that can grow on this land is planted, and now there are so many people, they don't have to worry about selling anything, and even the feces can rob everyone's head and bleed. ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Feces? ”

Aunt Xu frowned slightly.

Cao Xiaodong immediately said: "Brother Guo, don't underestimate this dung, now the largest fecal merchant in our Weihui Mansion has reached 10,000 taels per year, and he is also a well-known rich businessman in our Weihui Mansion." ”

Guo Dan was dumbfounded when he heard this, "You kid is fooling me, this feces can be sold for money, I also know it, but it is impossible to say that I can make so much money!" ”

Chen Chen hurriedly said: "What Xiaodong said is true, because now our Weihui Mansion is a big farm, how can there be any manure in this house, and at the same time people go to Fucheng to work, they don't farm, this dung is useless, so at first those big farmers themselves sent people to transport it, even if they punish the prisoners for transporting dung, the big landlords have to give money to the picket house."

Later, a thief named Bo San was fined for transporting dung, and as a result, after he was released from prison, he simply started this business, and later he also took the initiative to contract the work of cleaning the streets in the city, and at the same time asked the dung to be given to him.

But in the past two years, due to the relocation of a large number of workshops, the workers have not been concentrated in the city, many people began to come to rob the business, and there have been several fights, the trouble is inextricable, I never thought that the wave of three was a locksmith before, through the art of the mechanism, he invented a flushing mechanism, but convenient, he helped some workshops to build this kind of flushing thatched house for free, and the requirement is that the thatched house is owned by him, of course, those big workshops have agreed, how much trouble is missing, and now we Weihui Mansion seventy percent of the manure are monopolized by him.

The key is that this kind of flushing mechanism can also be sold for money, Chen Lou spent a lot of money to buy this thing, and Bo San is now not only doing feces trading, but also doing this organ trading, and is a big customer of the Iron Workshop of Guide Mansion. Oh, he used to be an orphan and didn't even have a surname, but he admired you very much, so he changed his name to Guo Bo now. ”
