Chapter 185: Building a Polo Field

When she heard that Gu Bei wanted to build a polo field, Bai Luoshi raised her hands in approval. It's not that she likes to play polo, but she thinks that the projects invested by Gu Bei are rarely loss-making.

Although she was not born in the 21st century, she does not know enough about the operation of European and American stadiums.

But Gu Bei knows that as long as the number of attendees in stadiums in Europe and the United States is guaranteed, profits are inevitable.

In the era when there were no stadiums in Daxia, a city with a population of one million, it was very "profitable" to build a polo field that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

Gu Bei said a lot about how to operate the polo field after it was completed in the future, which made the ignorant Bai Luo Shimao suddenly open.

In the past few days, Gu Bei has been accompanying Bai Luoshi in the house with peace of mind, maybe it is a debt, or it may be an apology, in short, Gu Bei plays the role of the housemaster in the TV series......

For her husband's dedication, Bai Luoshi enjoyed it, and after a few days, knowing that he was short of silver for building a polo field, he waved his hand and gave him an overdraft of 200,000 taels of silver.

This gave Gu Bei an unexpected surprise, and finally solved Gu Bei's urgent need completely.

Gu Bei asked Xiao Ran to escort 10,000 taels of gold to the state capital treasury to purchase land.

The suggestion given to Wu De by the officials of the Ministry of Industry and Treasury, Gu Bei accepted it all. He had seen the map of Ying Tianfu, and personally went to Yunfang and Xingfang to investigate, and felt that these two workshops were very suitable for building polo fields.

Gu Xiannan personally sent 10,000 taels of gold to the warehouse, and even alarmed the prefect Wu De.

In Ying Tiancheng, there is nothing that can be kept secret at all, and the fact that Gu Bei wants to build a polo field has already spread all over the world, and the officials of Ying Tianfu have different opinions about this.

Some ridiculed the male and young men of Gu County, who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and spent 250,000 taels of silver to build a polo field for fun, which was really poor and luxurious, arrogant and lascivious.

Some sat and watched it, thinking that if this polo field could really be built, it would be a scenery in Tianfu City.

There are also polo fanatics, and they are in favor of Gu Bei's construction of a polo field of this scale.

In short, this matter can be regarded as stirring up a wave of spring water in Ying Tianfu City.

The officials of the treasury are in charge, and the officials at all levels are also talking about it, especially the Ministry of Industry, which has everything to say.

Many people don't believe in this, this is a real amount of money, I didn't expect Gu Xiannan to spend a lot of money to build Luobei Port, and now he has to come up with so much real money to repair a polo field, isn't this a lot of money?

Even the prefect Wu De could not see the commercial value of the polo field, let alone these officials.

It was also under this circumstance that when Gu Bei led the generals of the Baifu family and escorted the gold into the warehouse, the entire prefect's yamen was a sensation.

Wu De personally greeted him: "Gu Xiannan, do you really want to build that polo field?" That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

After Gu Bei gave Wu De a salute, he replied with a smile: "Lord Wu, Gu Mou's gold has been sent, can it still be fake?" This 10,000 taels of gold was used to redeem the land of Yunfang and Xingfang, and I asked Lord Wu to take a lot of trouble and help with this. ”

If the polo field wants to be built successfully, it is inseparable from the cooperation of the state government, not only to redeem the land, but also to recruit the people to build the stadium, which requires the help of the prefect's yamen.

And since ancient times, there have been too many greasy construction projects, and Gu Bei doesn't want his silver taels to be greedy. After all, now that Luobeigang is building a lot of buildings, he can't draw manpower, otherwise he will build it himself. "Gu Xiannan is really a young hero, and he is generous. You can rest assured that the official will supervise this matter for you, as long as you have sufficient funds, at most one year, the polo field will be completed. Wu nodded and smiled.

Gu Bei hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, Lord Wu, when the polo court is completed, Gu invites Lord Wu to watch the ball game." ”

"Haha, it's so good, and I'm looking forward to it."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and after Gu Bei handed over the gold to the officials of the Gongku, he left satisfied.

But to Gu Bei's surprise, Gongku began to redeem the land, and after only a few days, something happened to block him.

He never expected that there would be "nail households" in this Great Xia......

Yunfang and Xingfang are located in the south city wall of Yingtianfu Outer City, most of the fields in the Fangfang, and there are not many people living in them.

In the city, it is the habit of the Xia Kingdom. A huge city like Ying Tianfu, even if it is besieged by enemy troops, there is no danger that there will be a shortage of food in a short period of time.

Regarding Gu Xiannan's desire to redeem his own land, the residents of these two squares have no opinion.

Anyway, Gu Xiannan made up the silver taels at the market price, and it was slightly exceeded, which was enough for them to go to other workshops to buy another land.

The matter of Gongku helping Gu Bei to redeem the land went very smoothly.

But there are exceptions to everything, and the officials of the Gongku hit a nail in a house in Yunfang.

Even if the officials of the depot offered a premium of 20%, the family refused to sell the land.

When the news reached Gu Bei's ears, he was slightly surprised, Daxia actually had a "nail household"?

Not to mention that the money he gave to redeem the land was enough, just to say that the face of the man in the county and the officials of the industrial library could not make this family bow their heads, which was worth grinding.

In Yingtian City, the south of the city is almost inhabited by ordinary people, belongs to the poorest area of Yingtianfu, it is not an exaggeration to call it "Civilian Grotto", the wall here, even all are built of loess, but only half a person high, very dilapidated.

The people who live in this kind of place can still stand up to the Ministry of Industry and not sell their land, which can't help but make Gu Bei feel strange.

Seeing that the ransom of the land had been delayed, Gu Bei was also a little anxious, so he simply led Xiao Ran again to prepare to go to the mansion to ask what was going on.

"Lord Wu, I don't know which one is unwilling to sell land? What is the background? After Gu Bei and Wu De saw each other, they went straight to the point and asked.

Wu De pondered for a moment and said, "Gu Xiannan, can you have a gap with the King of the Ministry of Civil Affairs last year?" ”

His words made Gu Bei stunned, a little unclear.

Wu De said that the king was the prefect of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Yingtianfu last year, and he was the same rank as him from the third-grade official rank.

Where did Gu Bei know any king last year, and he didn't think that he would have an enmity with this person.

He shook his head: "Lord Wu, Gu doesn't know any king last year, what's the matter?" Does this matter have anything to do with him? ”

Wu De couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You don't know Wang last year?" So why did he refuse to sell the land? The land in Yunfang is the courtyard that this king bought last year. ”

Gu Bei was also stunned, when he was a third-grade official, he went to the slum to buy a separate courtyard?

However, this was not the time to explore this matter, so he hurriedly asked: "Lord Wu, did this king say last year why he didn't want to sell his land?" Gu didn't offend this person. ”

Wu De shook his head: "Then it's troublesome, Wang bit to death last year and didn't want to sell the land, and the Gongku couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't force people to sell the land, Gu Xiannan had to think of a way to do it." ”

Gu Bei frowned when he heard this, and sure enough, it was a trouble to engage in demolition no matter what time it was.

Nowadays, a lot of land has been bought in Yunfang and Xingfang, and if you can't get this Minbu King last year, the construction of the polo field will not be able to continue.

After thanking Wu De, Gu Bei got up and said goodbye and left.

He planned to find someone to ask him where he came from last year and why he wanted to oppose him.

When he was about to inquire about the news, Chang Xiaolai came to the door, and when he saw Gu Bei's brows tightened, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

After listening, Chang Xiaolai smiled and told the details of Wang's last year.

After learning about his heels, Gu Bei became even more depressed.

This king of the Minbu did not know Gu Bei last year, but he had a younger sister who married Guo Gao, a new countryman......

Wang was Guo Gao's brother-in-law and brother-in-law last year.

This made Gu Bei so depressed that he almost vomited blood, do you want to be so inch? You are a good three-grade official, and your mansion is also in the north of the city, which land do you buy in the south of the city, and what kind of courtyard do you build?

Gu Bei naturally didn't know that Wang would buy that piece of land in Yunfang last year, but it was caused by being fooled.

Wang was a very devout Taoist monk last year, and he was friends with the presiding officer of the Taoist temple Taiqing Palace in Yingtian City, and once he asked the presiding officer about the method of feng shui, and the presiding officer said that his auspicious star was in the south, and he should live in the south of the city, which was conducive to the prosperity of the official fortune.

Wang was convinced of this last year, so he bought the land in Yunfang and built a courtyard.

Every rest day, Wang would go to the Yunfang Courtyard in the south of the city last year to stay for a day.

In fact, if there was no conflict between Gu Bei and Guo Gao, Wang would have given Gongku and Gu Bei a face last year and sold the land.

Anyway, there are many lanes in the south of the city, and with the identity of the king last year, where can I go to build a courtyard?

But Wang was also in the polo field last year, watching his brother-in-law lose the polo and lose the famous horse. And he himself lost to Cheng Wushu with a thousand taels of gold because of this, which made him more and more jealous of Gu Bei.

Behind Gu Bei is the old man, he doesn't tear it down, no matter how he says it, he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although he has been demoted, he still has a lot of connections in the capital.

Now that Gu Bei wants to buy his own courtyard to build a polo field, how can Wang be willing to let him get his wish last year and sell the land to him?

After figuring out what was going on, Gu Bei could only talk and sigh, should he be so unlucky?

I knew that I would have changed two squares to buy land at the beginning, and it would not be so troublesome.

It's too late to say anything now, and we can only find a way to solve this problem.

He knew that he had a gap with Guo Gao, so he rashly came to the door to beg. Buying land, you can only suffer in vain, and you can only find a way to intercede for yourself.

The first thing Gu Bei thought of was his husband.

As a military boss stationed in Yingtian and even the whole Xia Kingdom, in Gu Bei, Wang dared not give his husband this little face last year?

When Gu Bei returned home to find the old man, he asked him to make peace with one or two, as long as the king was willing to sell the land to him last year, the price was negotiable.

In this regard, the old man agreed, in his opinion, it was just a trivial matter.

But neither the old man nor Gu Bei thought that Wang would not give his husband any face last year. No matter how the old man persuaded him, this Wang Shangshu just bit it to death and did not sell the land.
