"Husband is really, why don't you take care of your body so much? There are hundreds of miles between the two provinces, and even ordinary fast horses will take more than ten days to arrive, so why are you bothered......

Bai Luoshi's cold voice sounded, and there were complaints and worries in her words.

Since the two had a child, the relationship has heated up rapidly. In the days when Gu Bei left, Bai Luoshi often dreamed back at midnight and woke up suddenly, worried so much. I'm used to having him every day, and it's really uncomfortable to leave suddenly for a few days......

Bai Luoshi said softly, but did not get Gu Bei's answer, and when she looked around, Gu Bei was already asleep on the edge of the bathtub.

Bai Luoshi looked at Gu Bei's slightly frowning brows, and her heart was full of pity.

Gu Bei, who was asleep, had a different feeling from his ordinary.

Bai Luoshi stretched out her slender jade hand stupidly, and her green jade fingers like mutton fat and white jade gently stroked the handsome and fragile outline and clear and profound facial features on the man's face, and her heart was warm.

Women often develop a crush on a man because of curiosity and gradually fall.

This usually lazy man is her husband, the husband she picked up from Gujia Village. Although he doesn't like officialdom, he has been helping her take on her responsibilities in his own way, although he doesn't say it, these Bai Luoshi understand.

Moreover, he can write lyrics and poems, know how to configure Tianxianglu, and in order to please her, he invents egg fried rice, barbecue, and cakes that make people appetizing......

Such a genius figure is actually her husband......

Bai Luoshi pursed her lips and smiled, her flower-like jade face looked beautiful in the dim light, and her faint smile made the stars lose their color, but unfortunately no one had this eye.

I was a little glad in my heart that she met him, and this extraordinary man who was destined to eventually bloom with brilliant brilliance and dazzling brilliance.

Bai Luoshi got up lightly and exited the house.

Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the morning, Gu Bei woke up.

After resting for a night, Gu Bei only felt that his body was much lighter, and his mind was misty and clear.

Gu Bei wore a loose plain robe, sat in the room, casually ate a few bites of pastries that had been prepared a long time ago, took a few sips of tea, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Reborn in Great Xia, the first night in history, I actually slept in the bathtub......

After a long time, Gu Bei stood up, moved his stiff neck, stretched his sore limbs, and walked out of the house.

There was no one in the courtyard, Gu Bei just wanted to call Qing'er, but suddenly remembered that Qing'er was running all the way with him, and it was estimated that she was still asleep, so she stopped talking.

Just as she was about to go out, Qing'er walked in lightly with Bai Luoshi in her arms, and saw Gu Bei standing in the courtyard, Bai Luoshi said with a smile: "Husband, you're awake!" Is this going to go out? ”

Gu Bei stepped forward, took over Qing'er's support for the lady to sit on the recliner, poured a cup and handed it over, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to go and tell my grandfather about this trip, but if I didn't think about it, you guys will come back." ”

"No need, Qing'er and I just came back from grandpa."

Hearing this, Gu Bei's heart warmed, if he has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!

"It's just that in the future, the husband must not be like this, how can he rush into someone's mansion with someone, fortunately, Uncle Bao's people came in time! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to think about going down......"

"Yes, yes."

"And yes! Grandpa just praised you. ”

"Yes, lady."

"You inadvertently foiled the conspiracy of the White Flower Sect in Jinan Mansion, you have to be careful in Fucheng recently......"

"Hmm~"

Gu Bei replied absentmindedly, at this time, he was lowering his head and holding his lady's hand as white as jade, playing with it in his hand, rubbing it carefully.

I don't know how the lady's hands are maintained, they are smooth and delicate, and they are unusually supple.

"You!"

Bai Luoshi said for a long time, no matter what she said, she nodded her head, studied her little hands by herself, and asked two words from time to time.....

She has already learned about his lazy character, and instead of playing the piano to the cow, it is better to tell Qing'er well.

Traveled twice, and both times inadvertently ruined the affairs of the White Flower Sect, is this a grudge against the White Flower Sect or a grudge...... But the main owner didn't care at all, and Bai Luoshi held his forehead for a while.

I secretly made up my mind in my heart, I must take good protective measures for my husband, and I must not let him get hurt, but I can only let my grandfather go to the Inspectorate to put pressure on Shi Jia, so that they can clear the remnants of the White Flower Sect in the city as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Gu Bei has returned to leisure, accompanying his wife at home, and taking some time to write and paint by the way.

Tianxianglu is now on the track, he feels that it is still too slow, and he is grinding that it is time to build a high-rise building and build the first restaurant in Xia Kingdom.

The restaurant he wants to build is not a two-story inn, yes, he wants to build a seven- or eight-story hotel, no matter how bad it is four or five floors. When the time comes, the people of Xia Guo will open their eyes, and he will make his restaurant a landmark of a city, a benchmark of this era, and make everyone proud of living in his restaurant.

Of course, now he can only be crooked, but now he can only draw the drawings of the restaurant, to entertain himself, the foundation of the four- or five-story building is a big problem, it is impossible to build all of wood, what he needs is to pile it up with cement, and then open a big glass for each house.

Standing on the highest floor and looking down through the large piece of glass, think about how comfortable it is to sit alone on a high place, looking at all living beings below, and looking at the scenery of the whole city.

Although the current glass ...... There was nothing, but Gu Bei was not discouraged at all, the initial plan was there, and now it was to start implementation.

"Buy...... Buying land ......"

The owner called, and Chen Jinwang, who left everything in his busy schedule, exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Bei took a sip of tea and said, "You heard it right, it's to buy land." ”

Chen Jinwang showed a smile and said, "I just don't know what the owner is doing when he buys land?" How big of land do you want to buy, and where to buy it? ”

Chen Jinwang threw out a series of questions, since the owner buys land for his own use, in the words of the owner, he just needs to implement it, and don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked.

"The best place in the city, the location should be central, the bigger the better!" Gu Bei took a sip of tea and said without raising his head.

The best in town? The most central location? Bigger is better?

Chen Jinwang estimated the price of land in the city in his heart, it was not good, he took a breath of cool air, the good shops in the city are more than 10,000 taels, and it is still a little big, what is this owner doing when he buys so much land?

So, Chen Jinwang could only tell him as he said, and by the way, he inquired about the purpose of the owner's purchase of land.

Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "The low price in the city is so expensive? Want so many silver taels? ”

"Yes!" Chen Jinwang's answer made Gu Bei a little confused: "Don't you know, the best stores in the city are gathered in the West Market, a small shop is worth 10,000 taels, and it does not come with a backyard. ”

Poor! What a poor ...... Gu Bei sighed.

I didn't expect the land price in Ying Tiancheng to be so expensive now, alas! But seriously, there are more rich people in Ying Tianfu, and he wonders if he should mention the price of Tianxianglu? rob the rich and help the poor...... Ahem, help me the same.

If it weren't for the recent large amount of silver in Tianxianglu, it is estimated that Aunt Ben would still be a poor 13! No, now Uncle Ben is also a poor 13.

Not! Gu Bei felt that he was also from the 21st century, so he had to wear more wool from the rich.

But how do you make a mattress?

Gu Bei squinted, could he have come up with wine-making techniques? No, no, no, the wine can't be taken out now, at least until the restaurant is built, and the exclusive operation is.

'Live in my restaurant, drink the wine I make, if you want to drink the wine I make, you must live in my restaurant'

But now, there is silver, no land, no restaurant, and no wine is equal to zero.

There is no silver, there is land, there is no silver to build a restaurant, and no wine is still equal to zero.

If you can't think about it, Gu Bei's eyes lit up, and a thought popped up in his mind.

Why do you have to go for a better location? It's a little bit away from the center of the city, I bought the land, built a restaurant, isn't it the same, first push out the reputation of the restaurant, and wait for later...... Well, that's it.

Gu Bei squinted and said, "How much is the monthly income of Tianxianglu now?" ”

Chen Jinwang made a rough calculation in his heart, and looked at Gu Bei: "About 200,000 yuan!" East...... Owner, you ...... What else do you want to ......?"

As soon as he heard that only 200,000 taels had entered the account, Gu Bei was deflated, and after removing the dividends, it was only 100,000 taels a month. The mansion adds up to only a few hundred thousand taels, and I don't know if it's enough to build a restaurant, well, the early expenses are a lot, and we have to recruit people, buy materials, study glass, cement, ...... Enough is enough! After building a restaurant, it will be assembly line work in the future, which is estimated to save a lot of ......

So, Gu Bei slapped the table and made a "pop" sound, which made Chen Jinwang, who was only sitting on half of his buttocks, almost slip to the ground, but fortunately, he quickly grabbed the chair handle, and only heard the owner say:

"Then buy a remote place, and build a restaurant in the city."

"Restaurant?"

Chen Jinwang was dumbfounded, the owner originally bought the land to build a restaurant? I don't know what the owner has in mind...... Forget it, you can't slander the owner. How much money can a restaurant make? Can it be compared to Tianxianglu?

"Let's build it first!" Gu Bei's next sentence almost didn't make Chen Jinwang choke.

Check it out! Since the owner wants to see it, then as a subordinate, satisfy the owner's desire to see it! Anyway, the money spent is not his own, and he also wants to see the restaurant built by the owner......

So in order to satisfy the owner's desire to see, Chen Jinwang broke his leg in the past two days and went to see the building everywhere...... Look at the ground, look at the ground.

After sending Chen Jinwang away, Gu Bei sat on a chair and sipped tea, fantasizing about his own restaurant building plan.

I don't know, is this considered a benefit to the people of the Xia Dynasty? Does it count as improving the high quality of life in the Xia Dynasty?

The first step has been taken, now it is time to make the best use of the masons raised in the house, first of all, to see how their craftsmanship is, otherwise the restaurant will collapse when it is built...... Who's it?

Gu Bei sent someone to call the masons in the mansion who specialize in repairing houses.

"What? No? ”

Gu Bei raised his head and looked at the beams of the house, could it be that the house in the family is so acquainted, doesn't it need to be repaired?

The subordinate seemed to know his uncle's doubts, and then said: "Uncle, I don't know, the house of the Guogong Mansion was built by the Ministry of Industry, and no one dared to cut corners, so it was relatively strong, but the villain knew a mason, and he didn't know ......."

"Go, go, go." Before he could finish speaking, Gu Bei interrupted him.

Why didn't my uncle find a carpenter? But to find a mason? Isn't it all a carpenter's job?

The subordinate was a little impenetrable, and bowed down and retreated, after all, he was just a subordinate, just act according to the master's instructions, and ask less if you shouldn't ask, in case you know too much, that day...... Thinking of this, the man shuddered, and his steps became more hurried.

In a few moments, the man came with a mason.

The mason's surname is Li, and because he is the third in the family, he is called Li Laosan.

Li Laosan is in his forties this year, his back is slightly hunched, his tall body is a little rickety, and his face is wrinkled with ravines, which makes him look very old.

But between the lines, the steps are steady, and the eyes are also very bright.

"Uncle, this is the mason that the villain knows, called Li Laosan, with a strong character, and no craftsmanship, he once received his guidance as an errand in the Ministry of Industry."

The next person gave a brief introduction and winked at Li Laosan.

On the way over, he had already explained to Li Laosan, and only answered if he knew, and don't talk nonsense if he didn't know.

When Gu Bei heard this, he said politely: "Master Li......"

Who knew that this salutation suddenly startled Li Laoshi, and he knelt down with a "poof", and said in a panic: "Uncle...... It's a villain, the name of the master, I don't dare to be a ......"

Gu Bei was speechless, I'm just polite, are you serious?

Don't say that you are a craftsman, that is, you are repairing tires and repairing bicycles on the street, grinding scissors and repairing shoes, and I will also call a master......

He completely ignored the times in which he lived.

Li Laosan thought that he really regarded him as a master when he called "master", but he panicked because of Gu Bei's attitude.

No matter what dynasty you are in, craftsmen are an absolutely inferior term, a group of people at the bottom of society.

Why?

Shinong industry and commerce, constituting the ancient social hierarchy. Scholars and officials composed of scholars are the elite of society and occupy the highest positions in society. Agriculture is vital to the country and society, and it is a good talk to cultivate and read heirlooms, and caring for agriculture will be morally respected.

Craftsmen are craftsmen who play the roles of both laborers and craftsmen, most of whom have been passed down from generation to generation, work hard, have no opportunity to learn culture, live at the lowest level, are bullied, and their work is seen as vulgar and dirty.

The dignified son-in-law of the White Mansion, although the status of the son-in-law is low, but it also depends on where the son-in-law of the Guogong Mansion is so polite to him, how can he not make him sincerely frightened and uneasy?

Gu Bei touched his nose and figured this out, so he patted Li Laosan's shoulder, straightened his face and said, "Lao Li, ......"

"Alas! If your uncle has any instructions, just say it, and the villain will do it immediately!"

Li Laosan was obviously more accustomed to Gu Bei's casual attitude, and his expression relaxed.

Gu Bei showed the drawings on the table to Li Laosan and said, "Come and see this building, can you build it?" ”

When Li Laosan heard this, he quickly rubbed his clean hands on his pants and wiped them clean, and then respectfully took the drawings handed by Gu Bei and watched them carefully.

"Huh? There's something strange about this house...... Why are the floors so high? ”

Li Laosan frowned and looked at the strange house on the drawings, pinched the count, there were actually eight floors, such a tall house?

Li Laosan felt a little weak in his heart, and secretly glanced at Gu Bei, thinking that his uncle was idle and had nothing to do, blindly drawing something to entertain himself?

But it shouldn't be possible, my uncle is a noble man at the top, and he has nothing to do to entertain himself as a stinky bricklayer?

Could it be that this very tall house can really be built?

Li Laosan felt that his uncle would not entertain himself for no reason, so he calmed down and looked at the drawings carefully, grinding over how to build this house.

"Puff"

It seems that Li Laosan, who has been clueless for a long time, knelt on the ground, raised the drawings above his head with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, the villain ......"

Gu Bei was inexplicable, why did he kneel down again?

"Hurry up, Lao Li, why are you here? It's not difficult, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Li Laosan raised his head, his wrinkled old face like a chrysanthemum was already full of tears, and begged for mercy and said: "The villain should die, the villain feels that there is no way to build such a tall house, please let my uncle spare the villain's life, the villain has ......"

Gu Bei was a little speechless, just for this? If you can't build it, you can't build it, why do you kneel down and beg for mercy at every turn?

"Get up! Lao Li, it's because I think about it too much, and I can't build it. Gu Bei was a little excited, and said helplessly.

Could it be that without steel and concrete in this era, it is really impossible to build such a high floor?

"Lao Li, this era...... Ahem, what materials do you usually use to build a house, and how many floors are the highest? ”

"Back to my uncle, the materials used to build the house are all glutinous rice, lime mortar, mud, wood and other materials." When asked about his professional knowledge, Li Laosan talked eloquently.

Gu Bei motioned to continue, and Li Laosan had no choice but to continue.

It turns out that there are three ways to build a house to consolidate the building, one of which is to use lime and sand and water to mix it into lime mortar, the production technology and cost of this kind of thing are relatively low, suitable for ordinary people, the disadvantage is that the strength is not very good, it is difficult to build tall buildings, and this kind of thing can not be used in a humid environment, water is the biggest natural enemy.

The second is to use glutinous rice and lime slurry to make glutinous rice mortar construction, the production method is to boil glutinous rice into lime, the two will produce a very strong adhesive after the two are combined. It is much better than the first method, which is generally used to build the city wall, and it is very strong, like the Great Wall in the 21st century was built in this way, in ancient times when there was no reinforced concrete, the house could still be built very strong, and there was no need to worry about collapsing.
