Xu San helped Bai Tang get out of the car, not giving Ah Jian a chance to show his affection.

The emperor was really generous. Not to mention the land rewarded, it is still in the inner city!

At this time, Beijing was divided into an outer city, an inner city and an imperial city. The outer city is inhabited by ordinary people, and the inner city is inhabited by the emperor's relatives and officials. The Imperial City naturally lives His Majesty the Emperor. Lian Shixuan and the Gao family bought the land in the outer city to build houses, and the land in the inner city to use as shops. Therefore, Bai Tang can enter the inner city with the grace of heaven and envy everyone.

The small stone lion in front of the courtyard gate is mighty and domineering, and above the vermilion gate, there is a black gold plaque, which is blank on the top, and has not yet been engraved.

Bai Tang didn't like the square courtyard, but in order not to make his house look too abrupt, he had to build the courtyard in a regular manner, and then drew decoration drawings in the new Chinese style of modern improved design.

Only then did everyone stand still, the Zhu Gate was wide open, and Quan Hong and a young man with a mask on half of his face strode out, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Owner! Madame, Mademoiselle. You've finally arrived! ”

Su Shi didn't quite believe that this compound was his own house, but when he saw an acquaintance, he finally had a sense of reality: "Ah Hong, is this really our house?" ”

Quan Hong smiled and said, "Madam, let's go in and have a look." ”

Su Shi raised his feet, sighed, stared at the man beside him and asked, "Who is this son?" ”

The young man's voice was clear, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "Shen Wenlan has seen Madame." ”

Su Shi looked at his face wearing a half-mask, and vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, but he really didn't want to get up, and couldn't help but look at Bai Tang suspiciously.

Bai Tang smiled and said: "Wan Niang is married, and Brother Shen is the chief steward I specially invited to supervise the construction of the weaving workshop." ”

Liang Lin and his family, who were left behind, made a slight commotion.

Liang Dong pushed his stunned father in surprise: "Dad, is that really Xiao Shen Gongzi?!" Am I right? ”

His wife, Zhou, rubbed her eyes vigorously and muttered, "It's Xiao Shen Gongzi!" But what's going on with his face? ”

Liang Lin's excited mood quickly calmed down. Seeing Shen Wenlan in Peking was unexpected and reasonable. He cracked his mouth and smiled: "As soon as the owner made a move, he invited the little Shen Gongzi who moved Suzhou. Our weaving and spinning will definitely be prosperous, and the financial resources will be extensive! ”

Who doesn't like to hear good words? Bai Tang nodded approvingly at him.

Shen Wenlan said with emotion: "It is a blessing to be favored by Lian Gongzi. ”

Lian Shaoda's family watched Bai Tang's family enter the mansion with a smile, and they didn't even look at them, and they didn't want to beckon themselves to go in and visit the new mansion at all, and they had all kinds of flavors in their hearts.

Adjacent to the courtyard, there is also a small courtyard with a single entrance. Needless to say, it must have been prepared for Lian Shaoda's family. Although it is only a single entry, it occupies a large area. The main courtyard and the east and west cross courtyards are complete. Enough for their whole family.

But after seeing Baitang's mansion, and then looking at this small mansion, He's face was dark. Jealousy and hatred distorted his face: How do you live the days of being inferior under the fence?! I couldn't help but want to give my husband eye medicine, but my son stopped him in time.

Bai Jin smiled: "Dad, mother." This courtyard is not smaller than our house in Nanjing! ”

Lian Shaoda was stunned, and there was a little smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "What are you doing here?" Do you eat Yukiko? ”

Lian Shaorong took care of this younger brother after all. The decoration of the small courtyard is simple and practical, the furniture is complete, even the thick cotton bedding is stuffed with cages, and the kitchen is full of firewood and charcoal. Several rooms in the main courtyard were actually placed with earth dragons. Not only that, but they also found an old couple surnamed Lu who was responsible for cleaning the house. When the family of three sat down, the earth dragon also warmed up. Rao is He also had to swallow back the provocative words that were blocked in his throat. Said sarcastically: "Uncle is attentive." ”

Lian Shaoda glanced at her: "Okay, this will be our new home from now on." Then he said to He Shi earnestly, "Although our two families are close, there are not many opportunities to meet. If you can't get along with Su's Baitang, you don't have to force it, just be polite when you meet. The rest will be left to me and Bai Jin to plan. ”

He swallowed his anger and responded. Secretly thought: She doesn't have the face to compete with the Su family. robbed her husband but lost to her son. Alas, who made God unjust?

In the courtyard separated by a wall, Xu San visited the new house for a while, and then pulled Ah Jian to say goodbye: "The Baitang family has migrated for a long time and is physically and mentally exhausted. Let them rest well, and we'll come back for drinks another day. ”

Ah Jian didn't doubt him, but felt that Xu San was thoughtful.

The mansion of the Duke of Wei is naturally also in the inner city, a little away from Bai Tang's house. The Qin family built a academy in Xiangshan, and the inner city had to have a place to stay. Seeing that the three brothers were together again, Xu San was happy and worried at the same time: I have to keep Baitang from letting the wolf go!

Besides, after Bai Tang simply had dinner in the new house, he washed up and fell asleep.

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the inside of the house was warm and soft. Baitang slept soundly, and when he woke up early, he was full of energy and full of energy.

After breakfast in the front hall, he first summoned Quan Hong and Shen Wenlan to discuss the study.

Quan Hong has been in the capital for nearly a year, and he has already found out the situation in the city clearly.

"Beijing is still an empty city today." Quan Hong's words clarified the current situation of Xindu. "Before Hongwu, Emperor Taizu moved displaced people from all over the country to Beijing to enrich the population. At that time, King Yan's subordinates were all military generals, and they made great contributions to guarding Beiping. That's why the biggest problem we face now is that there's no one available. ”

Bai Tang's fingertips slid lightly on the table, frowning and silent.

"Now there are several stewards in our workshop, and we have chosen to teach them from scratch." Shen Wenlan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Not to mention the weaver girl with good craftsmanship." If this continues, our weaving mill will not be able to start work at all. ”

Bai Tang said lightly: "My weaving workshop doesn't expect to recruit people here. He looked at Shen Wenlan and said word by word, "What I want to open is not an ordinary weaving workshop." ”

Shen Wenlan was puzzled.

"With you Shen Wenlan here, opening a weaving workshop is overkill." Bai Tang chuckled, "If you want to recruit people, go to Jiangnan to recruit people!" ”

Quan Hong blurted out: "Jiangnan? Weaver Niang over there, who is willing to give up the land of fish and rice to run to this place where birds don't?! ”

Bai Tang took out the scroll paper and pushed it in front of Shen Wenlan: "This is the picture I drew boringly on the way." You take a look first. ”

The fresh and elegant rhombic flowers, the bright and rich curly grass lotus patterns, from the deer singing mountain stream to the lion arch hydrangea, as well as the exotic Persian patterns, are all novel patterns that have never been seen before, and Shen Wenlan is stunned and surprised.

"Lian Gongzi is planning to use these intentions to lure the weaver girl?"

"Nope." Bai Tang shook his head, "You and my mother will bear flowers as soon as possible and weave a sample brocade." Take them to Jiangnan and tell the major embroidery workshops in Jiangnan that in the spring of next year, my Lianjia will hold a flower conference in Beijing! The one with the highest cost of these flowers wins! ”

Shen Wenlan and Quan Hong glanced at each other, exhaled, and said with a smile: "Understood." ”

Baitang's weaving workshop is by no means an ordinary weaving business, but to become a leader in the textile industry!

Just like Paris Milan, the fashion capital of the previous life, the birthplace of world trends. Every year's popular colors and styles are determined by them and released to the world.

He has an inexhaustible and ever-changing library of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign patterns. Shen Wenlan, no flowers and plants can not be knotted, no birds and beasts cannot be woven. The two of them joined forces to sell cloth? That's a tyrannical thing!

Bai Tang looked at Quan Hong again: "How is the silkworm room?" ”

"The golden silkworm I found last year spit out hundreds of seeds. There were more than 40 gold cocoons. It is estimated that after the beginning of spring, there will be more than 3,000 ants and silkworms. ”

"How's the mulberry garden going?"

"I bought a total of fifty acres of land in the outer city! The best mulberry seedlings transported from the south of the Yangtze River were planted on ten acres. Quan Hong touched his head, "It's just the owner, if we only raise colored silkworms." Isn't that fifty acres too much? ”

Bai Tang smiled: What do you know! If it weren't for the fact that the land in the inner city was not easy to trade, he would have invested all his money in real estate!

When the major event was agreed, Quan Hong told him again: "Now there are either homeless people or sergeants in the city." If you want to go out, be sure to take someone with you. ”

Bai Tang naturally understood: "Don't worry, I won't go out to wander around if I have nothing to do." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liang Dong's anxious voice sounded outside: "Owner, there are many homeless people gathered outside our house!" Noisy to see you! ”
