Chapter 032: Yard
Chapter 032 The courtyard is located in the west of the city, at the corner of the tail end, there is a large courtyard covering an area of more than one acre. Lintels, cornices, arches...... The details are carved, revealing the glory it once had. The word shadow wall is a tube tile on the top, the middle wall is built with rectangular bricks to create a frame, the center of the frame and the four corners are carved with bricks, the words of blessing, wealth and Hong are engraved in the middle, and the Sumeru seat is built below. Although the vestibule pavement of the small bluestone is flat and piled up for some years, none of it shows a sense of tatters.
Zhu Fu, who was standing in the vestibule, saw from the moment he entered the door that the owner of the original construction here must have not only used silver, but spent a lot of thought on it. This house, even if it has not witnessed the traffic of visitors, has been beautiful for a while. I slowly made a 360-degree circle and looked around briefly.
"How? Not bad! This is the main hall, and there are two rooms on the left and right sides, and when you go inside, there are two rows of eight transepts, and a row of four master rooms. A small flower room, a study room, and two living rooms are all complete. There are also two rows of corridors on the left and right that are surrounded, which can lead directly to the back garden. There is a small pavilion in the garden, and there are many peach blossom trees around it. Not far from it, under a small artificially built stone arch bridge, there is also a lotus carp pond. The pond is surrounded by several weeping willows. "I've been here for a long time, and I've seen a transparent Wang Dake before and after, but he seems to be more enthusiastic than the owner.
After a pause, he coughed and cleared his throat with his right hand with a hollow fist in his mouth. Wang Dake, who did not hide it at all, in order to further make a friend of Zhu Fu to help him seek the position of the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, continued: "Although this place is remote and deserted, and it is adjacent to a group of poor ghosts, Brother Zhu is a cultivator, so it is necessary to be quiet in this trouble. They are poor but poor, and they are honest. I have to say that the biggest shortcoming, I'm afraid it is that it takes a lot of miles to get to Lin Mansion from here. ā
Zhu Fu, who has nothing to dislike about here for the time being, doesn't mind living with the poor people in the city, after all, he is a complete old D. The front of the main hall can be used for a printing workshop, and the back does not delay yourself to enjoy life. It's nice to live here, but you don't have to worry about finding someone credible to work with. As long as I treat them well, not only will my salary be 1.5 times higher than the market price, I will not be in arrears, and I will cash them out when the day comes, but I will also take care of their three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and eat well, so I don't worry that people will not work hard for themselves.
Similarly, in his opinion, once this day has passed, he will definitely be able to learn a lot of family routines and many rights and wrongs from the mouths of the seven aunts and eight aunts around him. All this gossip and gossip is not necessarily worthless. At the very least, you can still know who is diligent, who is lazy, who is honest, and who is cunning...... This is like why some people who can do business today do not care about small profits, and will support a tea stall for people to drink tea and rest their feet for free, and the real purpose is not just to send kindness to others, but to learn some valuable external news from the mouths of people who come and go from the south to the north.
In any case, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was definitely not as good as the information explosion of later generations, after all, it was too closed. In today's era, the sense of the countryside and the mountains is very strong, and the neighbors use it more than the people who come from all over the world and do not have a long-term residence in the city. In short, if you can run a monk, you can't run a temple, which is how it is a truth. Moreover, they and their families are dependent on themselves to survive, and it will be easier for them to reach the idea of alignment of interests. It's the same as why the landlord can completely control the tenant farmers, and why the master who opened the shop can completely control the apprentices.
"Brother Wang, do you know anyone in the city who can print books?" The two eyes are looking left and right, as if looking at the house, Zhu Fu, who is completely targeted.
"Recognize. There are two bookstores in the city, both of which can publish books in a rigid way. I'll build yƬ you go to Wang Ji. Although he asks for a lot more money, he does have the energy to sell your books all over Beizhili and the capital. On the contrary, it's not that Li Ji is bad. The price is reasonable, the stereotyped clarity and exquisiteness are one or two points better than Wang Ji, but it is only limited to the sale of Shuntian Mansion. It is precisely because of the Li family's boys that in order to break through the dilemma of regional sales, they have carried out a large-scale expansion. For this reason, not to mention spending a lot of money, and being run on by Wang Ji is even eliminated, it has already been disgraced to sell the ancestral house to pay off a lot of debts inside and outside. A large descendant like him who can't keep his ancestral business and sells it really deserves to go to eighteen layers of hell after death. However, it is also a coincidence that you can see that this house happens to be the old house of the Li family. I just don't know what book you want to engrave? As the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, Wang Dake, who is also broad in the human face, can't think too much about it, and says what he knows is the truth.
"To tell you the truth, Qian Zhixian came to me the day before yesterday and intended to spend a huge amount of money to help me rebuild and expand Wuzhuang Temple. I was thinking, if the Taoist temple is good, it can't be without a scripture that is inherent in the inheritance of this sect. "The truth and the lie are mixed together, and Zhu Fu has his own opinion, but he doesn't think that the Li family kid is a loser. If the other party is a real loser, he can't bother to make the ancestral industry bigger and stronger. The other party can directly be a gentleman who eats, drinks, and has fun, and doesn't do anything, and it's over. It's just that in the middle of expanding sales and expanding the market, there should be such or such problems. Because it is not solved in time, or it is not enough...... Thus he lost his ancestral property and ancestral business.
"This yard, I bought. However, I need to bother Brother Wang to ask me to meet the son of the Li family. After all, after buying someone else's ancestral home, you always have to be a little bit of a little bit and set up a table of wine. Zhu Fu, who has another plan, not just wants to meet people, but wants to have a good chat with the other party.
"It's a small thing. My cousin, who is a tooth boy, thank you so much for making this deal happen to him. He should have set the wine to thank you and my cousin. Wang Dake, who never dreamed that even the county lord would favor him, laughed loudly, and thought more and more about establishing a strong personal relationship with him.
