Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Three Great Builders

After discussing with Yun Wu, Hua Yu decided to go to the government to buy the land first and get the title deed after soliciting the opinions of the five aunts, Hua Yun and Li Yidao. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After that, according to what Yun Wu said, she took Hua Yu to invite several old craftsmen who had built houses for generations in Yangzhou City to come out.

Speaking of the old craftsman, Hua Yu seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, and after thinking about it, he couldn't catch it, so Hua Yu put it down and continued to work on the construction of the manor.

In three days, Hua Yu traveled all over Yangzhou City, but there was no time to enjoy the picturesque scenery of Yangzhou, all the energy was spent on the manor, buying land, looking for people, buying construction materials, fortunately, several old craftsmen agreed to go out, and everyone has their own construction team, but it saves Hua Yu and then hires workers.

At this stage of preparation, 50,000 taels of gold had already been transferred from Hua Yu's hands to someone else's hands, and Hua Yu was really a little distressed, but the manor still had to be built!

Two days later, just after dawn, a team of nearly 1,000 people left the east gate of Yangzhou and rushed into the distance. The leader was the carriage of Hua Yu and Yun Wu and others, and this team was naturally the one who went to the destination to build the manor.

In a carriage closely following Hua Yu and others, there were three old men with gray beards, wise and quiet, all of whom looked about fifty years old, and the three of them were leisurely drinking tea and chatting, and one of the old men in thin black silk clothes spoke:

"Do you two know who asked us to build the manor this time?"

This question aroused the interest of the other two, and the teacup in his hand rested on the table, and stroked his beard, and the fatter old man spoke:

"This is exactly where I am confused, I have inquired in many ways, except for knowing that this master hired a distinguished guest brought back by the third lady of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, the others are all unknown, Brother Wang, what news do you have?"

The old man, who was called Big Brother Wang, shook his head lightly and said with some puzzlement:

"The news I got is the same as yours, I estimate that in the entire Yangzhou City, I'm afraid that no one except the people of the Changfeng Dart Bureau knows the details of this master's employment. Wen Xu, what do you think?"

The slightly fat old man also looked at the old man who had been sitting quietly next to him and did not speak, this old man's surname is You, his name is Wen Xu, and he is also a house-builder who has been passed down from generation to generation, and the other two old men are the three major construction families of Yangzhou City, and their inheritance has been eight hundred years long, which can be described as a real family in Yangzhou City.

It's just that the three families have been adhering to the ancestral precepts since ancient times, and all the children of the later generations only pass on the art of construction, and are not allowed to do business, and are not allowed to enter the office, and those who violate the family motto will have their legs cut off their legs, and they will be expelled from the house with one hundred taels of gold. Under this family motto, the three tribes have had minor disasters, but never had major disasters, so their heirlooms have been unfading for nearly a thousand years.

Of course, there may be other factors in this, but this is not something that outsiders can know.

And this Yu Wenxu is the wisest person of his generation among the three, so the old man surnamed Wang has this question. Yu Wenxu is ordinary-looking, and if he is not dressed in high-class clothes, he gives people the impression that he is just an old farmer in the countryside. He didn't shirk it, thought for a while, and said softly:

"The information I have received is no different, and we have all seen the man in charge, who is very young, and though his words and deeds are immature, he is well organized and thoughtful, and he is even more helpful in private. Based on this situation, I guess that the young man must have a deep background behind him, a strong inheritance, and no deep friendship with the dart game. Hehe, however, none of this has anything to do with me, we just need to build the manor, and don't listen to the rest, don't ask, don't do it!"

Listening to his words, the other two old men also understood, yes, we just built houses, what do we want to do so much, drink tea, drink tea.

In the leading carriage, Hua Yu sat in the wheelchair pushed by the third aunt, and Yun Wu sat on the couch next to her, sipping melon seeds in her mouth, while looking at Hua Yu and saying:

"Xiaoyu, you really plan to go home after the manor is built this time, can you do it?"

Hua Yu understands the meaning of Yun Wu, at this moment, Hua Yu and his party have received attention from all sides, if he does not go home for a long time, and the family has not sent anyone to contact, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary conjectures, after a long time, the consequences are unpredictable.

And this, is also what Hua Yu is worried about, there are no adult men in the village, and they have never had the experience of getting along with outsiders, once they come out, under the listening of people with hearts, they will inevitably reveal the true situation in the village, at that time, the village will inevitably suffer a huge disaster again, although the people in the village will be safe as long as they hide in the secret cave, but they have lost the opportunity to develop, and the revenge of the village is difficult to revenge, and they will be trapped in the village!

This, absolutely not allowed!

Therefore, the construction of this manor must be completed as quickly as possible, which is the first and most important step!

Turning his head sideways, he looked at Yun Wu and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Zhang, you treat me sincerely, and it is inconvenient for me to deceive you, in fact, I believe you have already guessed. The people in our village have been in seclusion for 300 years, and some time ago, the elders in the village saw that there would be a great disaster in the village within ten years, but they didn't know why, they only knew that they came from outside the village. Therefore, the people in the village are forbidden to leave the village, and the elders in the village are trying to find a solution, and I, after getting this news, took it upon myself to take a few relatives out of the village, hoping to find a way to save the village from the outside world. And this manor is the first step in my rescue of the village, and it must be completed as soon as possible. Because, the entrance to the village is within the boundaries of this manor. ”

After speaking, Hua Yu looked at Yun Wu quietly, thinking to herself: Although my words are concealed, I don't lie to you, I believe you can understand, because you and I represent more than just yourself.

Yun Wu did not live up to Hua Yu's expectations, and thought deeply while munching on melon seeds. Then he said:

"I knew you had a problem, but I didn't expect things to be like this, but do you really think it's reliable?"

"Of course, I am convinced!" Hua Yu replied decisively.

"Well, in that case, what else do I have to say!Say, what else do I need to do?" said Yun Wu with a slightly playful smile.

This kind of trust and support made Hua Yu's heart stir, and even Li Xunyu, who had been silent next to him, looked at Yun Wu and smiled gratefully, and everyone's gratitude and recognition also made Yun Wu happy, and he was smiling all the way.

At noon, the team had a brief rest and lunch. Then he sped back to his destination.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, everyone arrived at the position where the eight people of Huayu entered the official road that day.

Hua Yu took Yun Wu and the others out of the carriage, and the three old craftsmen also got off the carriage and came to Hua Yu. After a simple greeting, Hua Yu told the three old craftsmen.

"Three seniors, please see, this is the place where my manor fell to the ground. The mountains and forests within a radius of 100 miles 20 miles north of this official road are all within the scope of my manor. The juniors don't know how to build, so I'll leave this matter to the three seniors, if there is any need, please feel free to say it, the juniors will definitely do it. However, the younger generation has only one request, that is, they hope to keep the ancient forest in the rear intact as much as possible. ”

The old man, who was called Brother Wang, spoke: "Little boy, please rest assured, the three of us will do our best to live up to expectations!"

At this time, Yu Wenxu glanced back at the long line behind him, and said to Hua Yu: "Little boy, then I will settle down here now, tomorrow morning, the three of us will go into the mountains to investigate the geography and feng shui, and then make the construction plan for the son to review, I don't know what the little boy thinks?"

Since they have just said that the three craftsmen are fully responsible for this matter, Hua Yu is as good as a stream.

With Hua Yu's approval, the three old men quickly called the children of the clan and asked them to take charge of the settlement of the more than 1,000 people.

Under his arrangement, the housing and food problems of more than 1,000 people appeared to be in good order and not chaotic at all, even among the army. Large tents were quickly erected in the gentle area, and stoves for cooking and boiling water were quickly built and put into use immediately. In less than an hour, a neat and orderly barracks were formed on both sides of the official road.

Looking at all this, Hua Yu was surprised, such a level of management is very strong. However, looking at Yun Wu's indifferent look, Hua Yu couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Zhang, isn't the management of their construction personnel by these three major craftsman families very unusual?"

Yun Wu, who was looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, smiled, glanced at the camp, and said:

"No, it's better than the average escort team. ”

After listening to Yun Wu's evaluation, Hua Yu was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Yun Wu was born in a wealthy family, although he was smart and wise, but after all, he had never experienced military life, so he did not pay enough attention to the management ability of these three craftsman families for a while, and he failed to understand how difficult it is for a military unit to ban such an order!

However, Hua Yu didn't have much opinion on this, Yun Wu's position in the family determined what the ability she wanted to cultivate, and this military matter didn't need her to pay too much attention.

It was the guard named Yang Guangquan who looked at the neat camp thoughtfully.

By the end of the day, it was nightfall, and most of the people had gone to sleep, and the whole camp seemed very quiet. Hua Yu's tent was gathering Li Xunyu, Li Yidao and others at this time. The faint lights flickered on and off in the night breeze, and the atmosphere seemed calm and oppressive.

"Young Patriarch means that someone is watching us?" Li Yidao, who was standing next to Hua Yun, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, at least three waves of men have been following us since we left the city, and they are now lurking four or five miles behind the camp. Hua Yu explained to everyone.

As soon as the words fell, the four aunts all let out surprised and worried voices, Li Xunyu, Huawen, and Li Yidao performed steadily, but the uneasy look in their eyes still revealed the worry in their hearts.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yu sighed inwardly and said softly:

"You don't have to worry so much about this matter, those people who are following them may not all have malicious intentions, but they want to take this opportunity to find out the real situation of us. ”

Hua Yu's words really calmed the worried emotions of the seven people, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Li Yidao frowned and said: "Although those people may not have malicious intentions now, but with their surveillance, once we want to return to the village, it is very likely that they will be discovered, in that case, our entrance and exit will be exposed, and we don't have enough strength to guard this entrance, which is too dangerous for us." ”
