Chapter 371: Father-Daughter Dialogue
The convoy passed through Sangpu and deliberately took a turn around the city, allowing Gao Jingfei to appreciate the beauty of this garden city, and indeed from his point of view, the per capita happiness index of people who can live here should be very high.
I don't know about the emotional aspect, at least this environment can make people's lives very comfortable.
There is a perfect education system and excellent medical resources, shopping, food and supporting various service facilities are complete, the only drawback is that the housing prices in Sangpu are very high, of course, not as high as the four first-tier cities in the Xia country, which is probably equivalent to the price between the peak of the second-tier cities in the Xia country and the end of the first line, but it is a pity that the house purchase access system restricts the integration of the foreign population.
Wu Zhixuan explained that this is a subtle measure to control the proportion of the population.
"If you don't do this, there are too many poor people in the surrounding countries, and if there are no restrictions, I am afraid that Sangpu will become a crime and chaotic crime city like some big cities in the United States, and there will be no comfort and peace as it is now."
Gao Jingfei can also figure it out, Lenovo has seen the current situation of the American cities in some foreign documentaries, and it is no wonder that the rich people have fled to the suburbs or even moved away to other cities, it is really those who have nothing to do and do not produce are the source of chaos and the soil that breeds crime, but they can't all those people be shot or imprisoned, so I can't hide if I can't be provoked?
As a result, there was an almost opposite situation from Xia Guo's side.
Wu's ancestral manor in Sanlikun is located on the outskirts of Sangpu, where the terrain is higher, with mountain peaks in the north and clear water in the south, which is definitely an excellent treasure in the eyes of feng shui masters.
And from the point of view of modern science, it is actually very livable.
The northern peaks are not high, and there is still some distance from the estate, which can ensure that the estate will not be affected by natural disasters such as mudslides, and the temperature will be cooler in the area near the mountain, after all, the whole island of Bonizhou is crossed by the equator, which is a typical tropical rainforest climate, and has the second largest tropical rainforest in the world.
However, most of the rainforest landforms are concentrated in uninhabited areas such as the south and the middle, and the Boni Kingdom is located in the northern part of the island, so the living environment is still relatively good, and other small regimes are not counted, and the Boni Kingdom is also the one with the best geographical location among the three major countries on the island.
The southern river leads directly to the Sangpo River, the main shipping route between Sangpo and Paanggang, and the transportation is very convenient, and there is no shortage of water, so it is undoubtedly an excellent area for farming and business.
The Wu family has a large number of plantations here, mainly growing tropical cash crops such as pepper and rubber trees, and although the annual income of these plantations is no longer the main pillar of the Wu chaebol, it is still astronomical for ordinary people.
After a piece of farmland and plantations, the convoy finally came to the gate of the Wu manor, and when I looked up, I saw that the entire manor was established in three gradients, the highest was a palace-like building, according to Wu Zhixuan, there was the ancestral hall of the Wu family, and there was a large square where the sacrificial activities were held.
Immediately to their left is a series of exquisite houses, which were originally allocated by the Wu family to the subordinate and collateral clansmen, relatives and other people to live, and has now developed into a small town-like residential area, and on the right side of the ancestral hall is a huge mansion with five entrances, about 400 meters wide from north to south, and at least 500 meters long from east to west.
Here, together with the ancestral hall area at the back, it is the Wu manor in the real sense, and the residential area next to it is also considered to be part of the Wu manor in a broad sense.
From a distance, the Wu manor looks like an ancient small city, and there is a two-zhang high city wall outside, and this place was indeed built according to the specifications of the Ming Acropolis, which was built by the early Wu clan and its vassals to prevent the threat of local natives and foreign colonists.
Later, the population in the city became more and more, and the environment here gradually became calm and safe, so in the past 100 years, some of the collateral and relatives were gradually moved aside and assigned to them to live on land, which formed the pattern of today's Wu Manor.
Gao Jingfei felt that this place was called Manor, but in fact it was more appropriate to call it Wu's Castle or Wu's Guard.
Although after entering the 80s of the last century, many checkpoints and defense facilities on the manor side have been demolished, but the intact city wall of the original guard is still preserved, after all, it is a historical building of more than 300 years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cultural relic.
According to Wu Zhixuan, there are even Xia scholars who specialize in the study of military architecture in the Ming Dynasty who came here to visit and investigate, because compared with many ancient buildings of the Ming Dynasty that were changed during the occupation of the Jin Kingdom, the Wu Manor here is the real original Daming Guard City Template.
The vehicle drove into the city gate, where there was originally an urn city, which was later demolished, making the gatehouse of the acropolis even more solemn.
As an elder, of course, the rest of the Wu family would not come to welcome the arrival of Gao Jingfei, a nobody. However, the previous housekeeper Zheng and the familiar little maid Xiangni were already waiting at the gate in advance.
"Miss!"
Xiangni flew over like a child and hugged Wu Zhixuan, and then looked at Gao Jingfei and said:
"It's you, did you bring me something to eat?"
Gao Jingfei smiled:
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have enough to eat!"
Shannie nodded with satisfaction.
"You're welcome then!"
Gao Jingfei didn't mind, he knew that Xiangni, a girl who looked turbulent, was actually a little girl who didn't grow up, which was said to be related to what happened to her when she was a child.
Such a cute and beautiful little maid, even if she doesn't know how to be sophisticated, no one should hate it.
Wu Zhixuan patted Xiangni's shoulder, turned her head to Gao Jingfei and said:
"Junior brother, I'll let someone arrange your room first, and then introduce my family to you in the evening."
Gao Jingfei was a guest and a host, so he followed the housekeeper and Xiangni into the interior of the Wu manor, which was called the manor and was actually a military guard.
On the other side, Wu Zhixuan stepped into a large building in the city.
This side used to be the Wu family's meeting hall, similar to the yamen of the former chief of the guard, but now it has been transformed into the high-rise office area of the Wu Group here.
She expected that her father usually worked here and would only return to the back house at night, so she came straight here.
As the only heir of the Wu family, naturally no one will stop her, and when Wu Zhixuan came to the door of a luxurious office in the classical style of the Xia Kingdom, gently knocked on the door made of rosewood, and then pushed the door in, a middle-aged man was reading a document in front of the desk with glasses.
The middle-aged man has a majestic bearing, and a bit of wealth, he seems to be the kind of person who has been pampered for a long time, and when he saw that it was Wu Zhixuan who pushed the door in, he immediately put down the document and said:
"Isn't this the eldest lady of the Wu family? Why, the junior brother who picked up your eight poles and couldn't beat it came back? ”
Listening to her father's yin and yang weird words, Wu Zhixuan did not react violently, but smiled faintly gently.
"Although I don't really have anything to do with that junior brother, we have experienced life and death together, and this relationship is closer than ordinary friends, you say?"
Wu Jizong snorted coldly in his nose, and did not refute his daughter's words, but asked meaningfully:
"Did you call this kid here to get him involved?"
Wu Zhixuan straightened her chest and asked rhetorically:
"What, can't you? Is it true that only the guests you are allowed to invite can participate, but not the guests I personally invited? You know, this is my birthday party, even if it's a blind date, I'll pick them......"
Wu Jizong felt a little helpless in his heart, it is a good thing that this daughter's ability and assertiveness are too strong, and sometimes it is troublesome.
"My Wu family's son-in-law is not something ordinary people can do."
"Huh!"
Wu Zhixuan said unmoved:
"What if it's an innate cultivator, a B-class transcendent?"
Wu Jizong asked:
"Transcendents also look at talent, isn't this kid a descendant of a folk warlock, and a lucky fluke achieves innateness? It looks very tender, can he be as powerful as the wizard kid of the Luo family? Is there still that martial idiot boy of the Chen family? ”
