It was nearly August, Jinling Mansion, Ningzhou.

Because of the merchants implicated in the Huzhou rebellion, now they are either fleeing debts or being washed into poverty, and many of the high-ranking families in the past have changed their faces, and among them, the Dong family of the former rich party is the most serious, whether it is a family house or a Sangtian boat company, it has now become someone else's foundation.

The Yangjia Buzhuang, located on the bank of the Qinhuai River, has already removed the plaque at this time and replaced it with a new plaque wrapped in red silk.

However, not many people know who the new proprietor of this place is, only that it is constantly banging and noisy every day, which makes the girls of the flower boat brothel not far away extremely annoying, and that day instead of taking care of the customers until late at night, they fall asleep for less than two hours, and they are so noisy by the beating that they can't sleep, and even the tragedy of a serious decline in business.

No, early in the morning, the old bustard of the five Qinglou came to the door of the cloth village, pointed at the gate and scolded.

"Knock knock, knock the death knell!"

"Is there an end? It's been more than ten days, even if your mother has to take a day or two off in January, you can't stop? ”

"Hand over your hosts! If you don't give a say, the old lady will be here today and won't leave! ”

"Yes, I want you to take care of the food!"

"!" As soon as the door opened, Zhou Cong came out domineering, and also learned from these old bustards and accused: "The land that Lao Tzu bought, how can Lao Tzu love it, and if you are not convinced, you will pass it?" ”

"Hey, you fat man, you can live it, the old lady is afraid that you won't be able to do it!"

"That's right, call us the idle man in the green building in the alley, and you have to demolish your rag village!"

"Shout!" Zhou Cong rolled up his sleeves and sneered: "Okay, I haven't caused trouble for a long time this week, and I'm very idle!" ”

The bustards couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it!

What kind of place is Zhouda Gambling House, no one in Jinling Mansion does not know, there are one or two hundred idlers raised under their hands, and in their Qinglou, there are only three or five idlers in charge, and they are about to start moving, where is the opponent of Zhouda Gambling Workshop.

"You...... You! An old bustard was angry and shouted, "I'll go to the government to sue you!" ”

"Sue me!" Zhou Cong laughed out loud and said, "Then go, by the way, poke out the dirty things that forced you to become prostitutes, and see who can laugh!" ”

When the bustards heard this, they wilted instantly!

"Hmph, I'm tired of fighting with the fat man." Zhou Cong snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the village, and closed the door with a "poof".

However, the door was closed for less than a while, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, Zhou Cong was stunned, and then said angrily: "It's really dead, right!" ”

"Gongzi Zhou, it's me and the young boy!" Liu Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Zhou Cong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and hurriedly ran back to open the door.

"Alas, Brother Dong, you are back!" When Zhou Cong saw Dong Ce, he was really excited.

At this time, outside the door, Dong Ce was wearing an eternal black robe and a white robe, holding a small flower in his arms, and was glancing at the old bustards who were leaving with broken babbles, and then glanced at the plaque and decoration on the door, nodded and said, "How's it going?" So saying, he strode into the village.

Zhou Cong immediately smiled and said, "With me here, naturally everything will go well." ”

"Oh!" Dong Ce smiled slightly and said, "Then why did I hear that there were some embarrassing things in Shili Piaoxiang when I came back last night?" ”

"Ah, this ......" Zhou Cong was shocked when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "That's ten miles of fragrance, it has nothing to do with us!" Everything is fine here, and it will be finished in a few days! ”

Dong Ce glanced at Zhou Cong and said, "Now that we are in the same boat with Shili Piaoxiang, how can it be irrelevant, let's explain it quickly." ”

Zhou Cong couldn't help but look decadent when he heard this, and sighed: "Alas, it's all to blame for the stinky girl in Xiaoheyuan, and I don't know how she saw the fat master's trick, but she saw through it on the spot, and I didn't have the face to go out!" ”

"Kowaen!" Dong Ce frowned, he had heard of this name, it was the only peer of Jinling Mansion, and it was a new illusion troupe that merged with the Middle Earth and the Western Regions, and its stunts had what kind of stunts did swallow knives and breathe fire to the ladder, invulnerable sword dance, barefoot stepping on the knife and drilling the horse's belly, Qiankun upside down double pot tour and so on!

"How many performances have you performed in Ten Miles of Fragrance?" Dong Ce asked.

Zhou Cong's embarrassed pen stroked out three fingers and said, "Three games!" ”

"In this way, the other party does have some ability!" Dong Ce couldn't help but admire it in his heart, but at the same time he also despised it, although his peers were enemies, but for him, it was almost no different from settling down the stage in person!

Everyone eats according to their ability, compared to technical work, guests go to you or not, you are a step ahead, Dong Ce has nothing to say, he can only try his best to play new tricks to win customers, instead of demolishing other people's platforms! This is healthy competition, but these days, it seems that there are no such rules!

"Brother Dong, I will not give up if I don't avenge this revenge!" Zhou Cong's face was gloomy.

Dong Ce smiled faintly and said: "The other party is mostly a skill that he has cultivated since childhood, and he is not afraid of you to dismantle the stage, but he is very welcome, because he can still make you some money, so why should you be bored." ”

"But if they are so forbearing, they will continue to bully the door!" Zhou Cong said dissatisfied.

"I'll talk about it when they come, and I'll have to deal with it when the time comes, and now I have a lot of things to do, so I'm not going to provoke these rights and wrongs." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he began to look at the situation in Zhuangzhong.

This manor was once one of the largest cloth villages of the Yang family, covering an area of at least two acres, the entire manor is rectangular, and it is along the Qinhuai River, but in addition to the first largest inventory loft at the entrance, the rest are very simple staff residences, and the Yang family emptied things after it was even more desolate, even if it was redecorated, it could not hide the sense of desolation, mainly because of the lack of strange stones and flowers.

Besides, people need a lot of space to dry and dye cloth in the cloth village, how can they get any flowers and strange stones, and Dong Ce's current funds are not enough to make out these beautiful scenery, and if he finishes these, it will be a waste of savings!

In his plan, the vacant land along the road should be built into a small street, in the style of a night market, and another door will be opened at the end, only entering and exiting, and the gate will only enter and exit!

In this way, the guests who watched the performance in the attic were destined to pass by the night market, so the rent of these stalls would become Dong Ce's first pot of gold!

With this money, Dong Ce can diversify the art garden to attract more customers!

Dong Ce first inspected the theater and found that the stage seats inside had been completed, and this stage was actually the entire inventory attic, because this attic used to have to enter and exit goods every day, so the gate was very spacious when it was built, and it was no different from the storefront shops on the street outside.

The front desk is in the attic door one foot deep, a large curtain in front, a background cloth in the back, and the backstage is the attic inside, and divided into many areas, changing clothes, makeup, thatched room and upstairs rest room are all together.

The seats, on the other hand, are built outside the attic, one row is higher than the other, exactly ten rows, and the wooden walls are newly built on three sides of the seats, and even the floor is planed wood, in addition to the ordinary seats that can accommodate 200 people, there are VIP seats that can accommodate 30 people, and the whole is like a small theater.

"That's it...... Uh, drama ...... The theater cost us 800 times! Zhou Cong explained.

Dong Ce touched the countertop, touched the curtain and said, "Well, it's worth it!" ”

"Of course, these are all materials purchased strictly according to your instructions, and each of them was bought by Brother Meng at a low price, which is definitely worth the money, but more than half of the silver money is used for this point, and then we deduct the carpenter's labor fee, as well as the food money for Tu Ping, we are afraid that we will never be able to come up with the money anymore, so what to do with the rest of those broken houses?" Zhou Cong frowned.

"Those houses are all flattened and they live, right?" Dong Ce asked.

"Yes, you said you have to be kind to everyone, so I don't think it will last long, if it's getting colder and colder today, most of the doors and windows of those houses are broken, and the bedding has to be prepared, this is another amount of money!" Zhou Cong said distressedly. This is the first time he's worried about money!

Dong Ce was also a little depressed after hearing this, but still said: "Don't worry, after the investment is invited, there will be a sums of money pouring in to alleviate the urgent need." ”

"Are you the stables you were talking about?" Zhou Cong's fat face shook and said, "Will anyone rent those?" ”

"Nonsense, I didn't spend money to build those things, in short, don't worry about the money, now that the stage has been built, if you have time, you should practice more typhoons." Dong Ce walked out of the theater after speaking.

Bypassing the theater, there is an open space, on the left side of the open space is a row of buildings like horse sheds, the horse shed on the right is still under construction at the moment, but there are more than 30 carpenters, it should be built in less than two days, and behind the horse shed there are two rows of dilapidated houses, which is where the refugees who follow Dong Ce live.

As soon as Dong Ce appeared here, many people immediately hurried over, led by Tu Ping, Zhang Dagui and Zhu Dashan.

"Meet the Master!" Everyone respectfully hugged their fists.

When Dong Ce heard this, he was angry and said, "In the future, you can call me the owner." ”

Tu Ping hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, the owner!" ”

Dong Ce glanced at the children who came with him and said, "What are you five boys doing here?" Do you want me to test you? ”

When a few children heard this, they immediately dispersed, but the little stunned Zhu Shishi was still standing stunned, but after a while, he was pulled by Zhang Xiaogui.

Only then did Dong Ce say to Tu Ping: "You don't need to help here these days, go and help me find out some news." ”

"What's the news?" Tu Ping and the others asked curiously.

"Ask the nearby victims, who have received relief from Taiping Dao, the most important thing is to ask if they have drunk Fu tea!" After Dong Ce finished speaking, he reminded again: "Remember, act carefully!" ”

Tu Ping and the others glanced at each other, and then they all hugged their fists at Dong Ce and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to complete such a small thing!" ”

"Well, if you meet someone available, you can bring them with you too." Dong Ce said.

As soon as they heard this, Tu Ping and the others immediately said gratefully: "If the owner doesn't say it, we also want to ask the owner to take in some former villagers, but I'm afraid that after they come, they will cause trouble to the owner!" ”

Dong Ce smiled faintly and said: "As long as it can be used, it will naturally pay the salary, why bother, as for the elderly who have no children to take care of, it depends on everyone's efforts, as long as you earn more money, why not donate some to support them, this is also the doctrine of my teaching." ”

"I'll understand!" Tu Ping bowed his head one after another.

"Alright, you guys go quickly." After Dong Ce finished speaking, Tu Ping and others discussed it, and then left the manor and scattered to find out the news.
