A few days later, Tietou summoned the four brothers of the "water ghost", so and so, where are the four brothers willing to believe, all Tietou is daydreaming, how can there be such a good thing? In desperation, Tietou had no choice but to invite Li Shanren to tell the four brothers about the construction of the stilted building in public, and the four brothers would be suspicious and kowtow first to thank him. The next day, in order to dispel the doubts of the "water ghost" brothers, Li Shanren scooped out good wine in the wine jar and summoned the "water ghost" brothers to sit on the ground on the shore beach next to the boat. The brothers all said that they accumulated virtue in their previous lives, and only then did they have great blessings in this life. Start construction on a certain day, build a building on the beach for Li Shanren, and no longer do the "water ghost" camp. Seeing that the corpse hanging from the wooden pole had not been claimed so far, Li Shanren discussed with Tietou to bury it. Tietou hurriedly apologized, and for a few days, he forgot about the matter of building a stilted building, and ordered his brothers to put down the body and bury it on the spot.

The "water ghost" brothers built a stilted building on the shore and beach, and Li Shanren was treated with good wine and meat. Tietou was grateful, and gave away all the timber he had hoarded, and took sand and smashed stones from the river beach, working together as if building his own home. After only ten days' work, it was completed, and a towering stilted building was erected on the beach, and the upper floor was ventilated, dry and moisture-proof, and used as a living room; The lower floor was originally used to pen pigs and cattle or pile up sundries, and is now used as a wine cellar. All seven jars were brought from the ship, marked ones were buried under the bottom sand, and the four jars of wine bought were pressed on the ground. The five brothers drank the wine openly, and after drinking, they added new wine and did not hesitate.

On the day of completion, he invited his wife to get off the ship, go upstairs to the bedroom to settle down, pick up and stop, and set up a banquet to celebrate. That night, the "water ghost" brothers came to congratulate each other, noisy and noisy, and they were bound to ask Li Shanren and Mrs. Li to drink a glass of wine, enter the cave room, and make trouble until the moon rises in the west mountain before it disperses. Li Shanren was also happy, and he didn't feel that he drank a few more glasses. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that in the morning mist outside the window lattice, the mountains were undulating and unrevealed, and the sky was flushed with a touch of dark red, and a ray of morning light penetrated into the house. The charcoal fire was simmering in the house, warm as spring, Mrs. Li was still sleeping on her side with her pillow arms, Li Shanren couldn't help but hug her from behind, her front chest was close to her back, like two spoons stacked together, without any gap. Looking out the window again, it was already spring, Mrs. Li woke up, looked out the window, and didn't feel fragrant: "This place is very good, watching the sunrise in bed is beautiful." Li Shanren smiled: "How is the beautiful scenery outside the window like a beautiful bed?" The lady lazily turned sideways, and then turned the phoenix upside down, and did her best to love.

After the first stilted building was built, a stove room was built behind the house, and land was carved out on both sides of the main building, and two auxiliary buildings were built, one for the family and servants to live in, and the other for the five brothers to live in. After more than a month, the left and right annexes have also been completed, all embedded with lime, plastered with tung oil, stilted buildings shine in the sun, and are more resistant to wind and rain erosion. The people moved into the new house and moved a few tall trees in front of the house to keep out the wind and rain.

Three stilted buildings, the main building in the middle is high, the auxiliary building on both sides is low, in the shape of a mountain, the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, guarding the main building, Li Shanren is very agreeable. The best thing is that there is a row of seats on the second floor that lean out of the building, known as "beauty leaning" also called "flying chair", although Mrs. Li is half old but the charm still exists, sitting on the backrest of "beauty leaning", looking at the distant mountains and daisies, looking at the vast smoke and waves of the Yellow River up close, and the sparkling canal, which can be called a paradise. Li Shanren also asked the five brothers to drag the wooden boat to the shallows, and build a shack outside the wooden boat to avoid damage from the sun and rain.

After everything was settled, Li Shanren instructed Zhao Da to go to the town to rent two fast horses, and then repair a book, and sent Zhao Da north to the mansion of Lord Li in the capital, and informed the family that the housekeeper had plotted against him, and that the concubine had illegally embezzled the property of the Li Mansion and that the Li family compound had been burned down, and asked Lord Li to send arrests to arrest Jin Xiangyu and Li Xiaoniang. In addition, Niu Laosi was sent along the Yellow River to detour through Binzhou to northern Jiangsu to Shanghai to find out the current situation of the arsenal.

Let's talk about Niu Laosi quickly and quickly, day and night, and come to Shanghai in a day, according to the map to find the arsenal, where can I find it. Due to the urgency of military demand since the beginning of the Gengzi years, the Shanghai Arsenal has been looking for land in Gaochang Temple to build a new factory to produce new Mauser, and also opened more than a dozen branch factories and institutions, such as a steam furnace factory, a machine factory, a wrought iron factory, and a foreign gun building, and the volume is getting bigger and bigger. Niu Laosi came to the new factory of Gaochang Temple, handed over the shareholder warrant documents, and learned that Master Li had died in Xianliang Temple in the capital, and the overall situation of the imperial court had been replaced by Yuan Datou.

Niu Laosi hurriedly took the arsenal change paperwork, and returned to his life, just when the revolutionary party called on the shipyard workers to strike, the road was blocked, so he was delayed in the city for a few days, and he was anxious. Li Shanren saw that the news was good and bad, the good news was that the arsenal was expanding, and as a shareholder, he could reap the benefits; The bad news is that Master Li has passed away, Yuan Datou is in power, and he is still in the dark. Due to family changes, the ears and eyes are blocked, and the failure to go to Beijing for the funeral is a great loss, and the consequences may be unpredictable. Yuan Datou has coveted the arsenal for a long time since he trained in the small station, and Zhao Da has gone to Beijing, otherwise, he should go to see Yuan Datou instead, but Zhao Da has already set off and cannot be changed, so he can only wait for him to turn around and then make plans. Judging from the news brought back by Niu Laosi, Shanghai is not very peaceful, and it is not a good time to move his family to Shanghai rashly, so he decided to rest assured that he would see what would happen in the future.
