Chapter Seventy-Five: The Shipyard

At about 11 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wenyi came to the door of Xiao's Mansion wearing a white cloth gown, holding two folding fans that Shu'er had painted with surrealist graffiti, which she called "Wenyi" and "Shu'er".

A pair of stone lions is much more magnificent than the rich man of Meixian County, the key is that this is not against the system! Wenyi found the janitor and said: "In the next art, I have an appointment with Miss Xiao of your mansion, and I will come to the house to visit me today." I'm tired of the little brother to report it. After saying that, he stuffed a silver ingot.

The little girl smiled when he saw the silver, and disappeared as soon as he trotted away.

After a while, Xiao Ruoyu's maid Xiao Tao came over to invite Wenyi to enter, but she didn't seem to have the intention of entering the living room, but led him to the Xiao family's internal school. Xiao Tao explained: "Since my young lady is still Yunying unmarried, it is inconvenient for me to meet with my son in private, so I chose this time, when my husband has just finished teaching and it is time to rest." So please come and talk to the sons and ladies and relax. Childe Haihan, please. ”

Wenyi expressed his understanding and walked onto the podium very calmly. The little kids at the bottom have obviously received the news, and they all looked at Wenyi excitedly and said: You can start performing!

Wenyi coughed, and smiled at Xiao Ruoyu in the middle of a bunch of little children before saying: "Today, I was invited by Miss Xiao to come and talk about the book, there is not much nonsense and go straight to the point, what I want to talk about is "Zhu Xian". That said..."

In this way, literature and art spilled and plagiarized the first two chapters of "Zhu Xian" on it. Although he doesn't want to be a lewd plagiarism traverser, that's an advantage! How can I not take advantage of it? Cheek? It's been a long time since the author wrote it!

successfully fooled the little children up and down the Xiao Mansion, looking at the reluctant appearance of the bear children, Wenyi said goodbye to Xiao Ruoyu with satisfaction.

Back at the inn, Wenyi began to ask how the task assigned to him by Wen Sisan yesterday was completed. Wen Sisan replied: "Young master, the Xiao family's power in Hangzhou is indeed amazing, from the prefect to the county order, several households have something to do with the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family doesn't attach much importance to shipbuilders, we still need the approval of the Xiao Mansion if we want to recruit people, otherwise as long as the Xiao Mansion has some actions, we will lose all our efforts. ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "Well, I know, you first go and inquire about the craftsmen who are good at building ships and building houses in this neighborhood." Let's do the preliminary preparation work first, don't be in a hurry, we have a lot of time. ”

......

A month later, Wenyi met Xiao Jing, the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu's elder brother, as a visiting professor in Xiao Mansion. The two talked happily, and Xiao Jing thanked the little children for their rapid progress in learning during this time, and expressed his desire to let him stay for a long time.

Literature and art expressed that he came for some of his personal hobbies, such as architecture, shipbuilding, etc., and wanted to build a dock by the sea to play. This will be here in the next two or three years, and I hope to get the support of the Xiao Mansion. and the idea of enclosing a piece of land on a barren beach.

Xiao Jing made a decision at the moment, personally repaired a book and gave it to Xiao Yu, asking him to cooperate with Li Shimin to take the wasteland. And promise that all construction materials can be purchased from Xiao Mansion, using internal family prices!

The meeting between the two was friendly and full of copper stench, and since then, the construction of the dockyard here has been brought to the table, at the cost of future purchases going through the Xiao Mansion and giving lessons to the little ones every five days.

Wenyi immediately wrote to Li Shimin to report the current situation one by one, and asked Wen Sisi to fly directly to Chang'an Palace. There is no way, the distance from Chang'an to Hangzhou is too far, and the walkie-talkie has no signal, so you can only use a messenger.

Three months later, the area where Shanghai is located has officially belonged to the Qin Palace, although the dock of literature and art only occupies a little place, but due to the nostalgia complex, literature and art directly want to go down to the whole Shanghai! Endless weeds and trees, a dilapidated fishing village, and a few dilapidated boats are the current situation in Shanghai, and the number of native Shanghainese is no more than 200.

With a wave of the literary and artistic hand, countless timber materials poured into Shanghai from the shops of Xiao Mansion. After Wen Sisan's efforts in the past few months, he recruited five skilled craftsmen, ten apprentices, and three hundred helpers. The "Greater Shanghai Construction Plan" was officially launched!

After holding the paperwork and the county lord to find the head of the fishing village for a simple transfer of power, Wenyi officially became the real owner of the 6,500 square kilometers of land.

Pulling soil to burn bricks and making tiles is simply not too simple for literature and art. All the dilapidated huts in the fishing village were demolished, and all 186 villagers were incorporated into the logistics support team to provide the helpers with a delicious and delicious "seafood feast". How many resources of the sea in the seventh century were inconsiderable for literature and art, and countless schools of fish made the nouveau riche of literature and art show their faces, two meals a day? Non-existent! Three meals a day is king! What chestnut rice you want! Aren't grilled fish and fish soup beautiful? More than 500 subordinates all admired the boldness of literature and art, and the chill of early autumn could not stop their enthusiasm at all, and they worked shirtless on the construction site one by one. Wenyi sat under a pergola and took a sip of a glass of chilled orange juice, looked at the people who worked hard and couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be rich!" ”

At the beginning of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the "Shanghai Shipyard" has been preliminarily completed, the shipyard has been built, and various workshops have been formed. Cement was widely used in various places in the shipyard, so Wenyi also made a deal with the Xiao family: with a high price of 10 million taels and the 20-year sales right of Jiangnan Province cement, all the materials of the Xiao family were sold at a parity and a preliminary strategic alliance was reached. Of course, Xiao Jiaming is still a loyal supporter of the crown prince on the surface.

Seeing that the Xiao family's support for the prince is no longer so firm, Wenyi decided not to trouble them anymore, after all, cooperation can be a win-win situation. Then what is going to collapse several families as soon as it crosses, it is really not the style of literature and art.

On the 10th day of December, Wenyi convened all employees of the shipyard to announce the start of the annual leave and the end of January 20. Each person can receive a cart of seafood and two copper coins to go home for the New Year. Everyone was boiling, and their hearts were surging and they almost kowtowed to literature and art, but the hard rule that kowtowing was not allowed has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it did not cause this scene of thousands of people returning to their hearts. In the afternoon, everyone carried copper coins and pulled carts, and happily embarked on the journey home with the news of the expansion of recruitment for literature and art in the coming year.

The fishing village is gone, and the official name is "Puxi Village, Shanghai, the fiefdom of the Qin Palace". The villagers were responsible for the safety of the shipyard during the annual leave, so Wenyi gave the old village chief another 100 copper coins as a reward.

Wenyi also packed up his salute and went to say goodbye to Xiao Ruoyu. Xiao Ruoyu is indeed not a serious lady, she is now a modeler intern at the Shanghai shipyard. lives next door to literature and art, it seems that her father Xiao Jing has some bad intentions against literature and art, and such a delicate beauty is thrown away from literature and art, as if she is very relieved.
