Zhuang Yougong frowned slightly, looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Ask who got the machine, move it out as soon as possible, don't stay here." ”

The attendant answered, and it took a long time to turn around and squeeze in. After a cup of tea, the entourage returned with a strange face, and arched his hand: "Master, the little one asked clearly, saying that it was because of the order of Li Langzhong in the Inner Mansion that the machine was displayed here." ”

Zhuang Yougong in the sedan chair said, "Li Langzhong? Which Li Langzhong? ”

This Suzhou city is an inner house Langzhong, and now it is still trapped in the weaving bureau to be involved, where is there any inner house Langzhong? Could it be a swagger?

I listened to the entourage: "Back to the master, the little one specially asked, it was Li Weijian and Li Langzhong, the inspector of the Inner Government Council." ”

Auditors? Could it be that he listened to the rumors and secretly came to Jiangnan to investigate?

Zhuang Yougong bowed slightly, and was about to order people to take a detour, when he suddenly reacted, gasped and asked, "Wait, you say Li Weijian?" ”

"Exactly." The entourage barred his teeth and said: "Master, this is the God of Wealth Li, this time we can't count on it." ”

Zhuang Yougong was born as a champion, first entered the Hanlin Academy, and then became the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and was released to the Suzhou prefect last month. This person lives in Beijing, not a party or a group, and it is not that Chen Hongmou of the New Party is now in charge, and it is impossible to say that Zhuang Yougong will succeed Guanglu Siqing step by step, and he will be a supervisor when he is released.

He left Beijing later than Li Weijian, because he was like thunder to Li Weijian.

However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he tossed out the huge water affairs first, and he should have lost money in Dashun last year, but he made a lot of money because of the water affairs; Later, he tossed out the Xishan Coal Mine, and the world spread that this person was the God of Wealth, and he welcomed and flocked to it.

Earlier, I heard that this person was going south, but I didn't expect to meet him in Suzhou City. Zhuang Yougong was embarrassed to cook without rice, and it was when she was at a loss, when she heard her followers say this, she was suddenly moved.

It's just that after thinking about it, he has no contact with Li Weijian, and a magistrate and an internal government official are not subordinate to each other. After thinking about it, I can only make friends first, and then act on the camera.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Yougong said: "Li Langzhong can be in Suzhou City?" You went to inquire and asked where to stay, the official is the local prefect, and he must always do his best to be a landlord. ”

The attendant said, "Master, the little one has heard about it." Li Langzhong now lives in Panxiang Temple on Xuan Tomb Mountain. ”

Zhuang Yougong said without thinking: "Prepare the car, this official is going to visit Li Langzhong in Xuantomb Mountain." ”

At that moment, Zhuang Yougong and his entourage went back to the yamen to change the carriage, and went straight to the Xuan Tomb Mountain, which was not mentioned.

Let's say that in front of the Nancang Bridge, a hemp rope blocked the crowd. The back was crowded and rubbed, but the front did not dare to cross the hemp rope, and there were several forbidden soldiers standing behind the hemp rope.

After the soldiers, the steam engine drove two spindle spinning machines and spun the veils with a clatter. One of them spins roving and the other spinning.

Two inner craftsmen waited on the steam engine, filling it with firewood. Black smoke billowed from the boiler, and sometimes a cloud of white gas was spewing out.

Among the onlookers, one of the outsiders looked at it for a long time and said, "This machine ...... Look, it's faster than water. ”

Another member said: "I just saw that I stuffed charcoal into it, and even firewood can be stuffed into it, which is more cost-effective than water power." ”

At this time, the Jiangnan weaving factory has already adopted water power, but the Jiangnan flood is serious, and the power is unstable in the dry season, because this will barely be half manpower and half water power.

It has long been counted by good people that water power is forty times that of manpower, and if you can use all the water power, who would be willing to raise so many weavers?

A few years ago, someone tried to use the Newcomen to drive the weaving machine, but the goods were too big, and the fuel cost was too high, so I didn't think that now there are people who have made a suitable steam engine.

The two of them looked at it fixedly, and saw a lazy thing walking in front of the steam engine, holding a purple clay pot in his hand, and sometimes he would take a sip, which was quite pleasant.

The person who spoke first said: "Little brother, I am the shopkeeper of the Fushun, dare to ask you how to sell this machine?" ”

Wu Haining saw that the people gathered around were almost there, so he walked over with a smile and walked over in all directions, and said, "Everyone, please come out, this steam engine was built by Jingshi. If you want to make a reservation, you must go to the Jingshi Steam Engine Factory to make a reservation. ”

"Steam engine factory?"

"Don't know about the steam engine factory? This factory was jointly opened by my master and the inner government, and it can be described as a famous Beijing master. What? Who is my lord? Listen, my lord is the fifth rank of the Inner Mansion Guiji Si Zheng, the second grade baron, and the nephew of Jinling Li Saijiu's relatives - Li Weijian. People give nicknames, Li Caishen! ”

Someone with good deeds continued: "Li Caishen? Haven't heard of it. ”

Before Wu Haining could speak, someone said: "Li Caishen hasn't heard of it?" The shopkeeper Sun is really lonely and unheard. ”

"You know?"

"Oh, I'll let you increase your knowledge today, and you can listen well. This Master Li is amazing, have you heard of Jingshi Water? It's this adult who made it up! ”

There was a bang in all directions. There are newspapers everywhere in Dashun, and Jiangnan is a prosperous place, which is a big and small affair in Beijing, but it will spread to Jiangnan in half a month. The Jingshi Water Affairs, in just a few months, supported a behemoth worth more than 30 million taels of silver, even the well-informed Jiangnan gentry were also astonished.

The shopkeeper Sun suddenly said: "Dare to love this Li Caishen." After a pause, he hurriedly looked at Wu Haining: "Little brother, could it be that Li Caishen came to Suzhou?" ”

Wu Haining suddenly changed color: "Huh? Don't talk nonsense, when did I say that my family came to Suzhou? ”

Where is the shopkeeper of Sun willing to believe? Just as he was asking again, someone said, "Master Li must have come to our Suzhou, I saw this little brother get down from a carriage today, and it must be Lord Li there." ”

Wu Haining seemed to be angry, and jumped to his feet to defend: "Don't talk nonsense, my family really didn't come." You, how can you wronged people in vain? ”

The more he is like this, the more convinced the people around him are, then Li Weijian will definitely come to Suzhou. Ordinary people, just looked at it strangely, those silk and cloth village shopkeepers were all human spirits, and they immediately turned their minds.

What is this steam engine called a pot camel engine, it is better to serve than the hydraulic one, and it must be bought in Beijing. The benefits of this thing can be seen and touched, and as soon as it appears like this, the proprietors of the weaving mills everywhere will flock to it, and it stands to reason that there is no need for this Lord Li to come here to promote it...... Could it be that Li Caishen has other plans? Don't you want to build another water company in Jiangnan, right?

Those who have a heart only left the man to carefully observe the pot camel machine, and he hurried out of the crowd to find his own owner to report.

……………………………………………………

Xuan Tomb Mountain, Panxiang Temple.

It is expected that the steam engine will spread, and it will take a few days, and those Jiangnan gentry will find themselves, but they are afraid that it will take a few more days. Because of this, after Li Weijian's early morning exercise, he was about to come out with breakfast.

Xiu Ying worked hard all night, and twisted her ankle when she didn't pay attention to dodge in the early morning, so Li Weijian was the only one in the temple at this time.

He had just turned out of the Heavenly King's Palace, and he bumped into Hui Ming Lao Ni head-on. The two saluted each other, and after a few words, Li Weijian was about to leave—where was he impatient to play with an old nun?

That Hui Ming seemed to see it, thought about it for a while, and said: "The temple is remote, there is nothing to entertain, but my disciple is good at cooking Lu'an tea, if Li Langzhong has time, you can go to my disciple to cook tea and talk." ”

"Okay, I'll go when I'm free." The mouth was perfunctory, and Li Weijian forgot about it in an instant.

As far as Miaoyu's temperament is concerned, Li Weijian is really grateful for the insensitive, and the monk is not a monk, the vulgar is not vulgar, he is in Buddhism, his heart is in the red dust, he does not have the patience to pursue the elegance of Na Laoshizi.

Coming out of the Heavenly King's Palace, a soldier of the forbidden army came over and said, "Lord Li, the boat has been hired, but I heard that there are already people on Xishan Island, and a lot of fertile land has been opened." ”

"Huh?" Li Weijian pondered: "Don't worry, sooner or later I will buy this island." ”

Since Xishan Island has a master, there is no hurry to go up to check, and Li Weijian has never studied geology, so he can't see anything even if he goes.

After a slight turn in the Panxiang Temple, Li Weijian led two forbidden soldiers down the mountain to wander, and saw that there were fertile fields all over Taihu Lake, which was expected to be obtained from surrounding the lake.

I asked the farmers, and sure enough, it was true. It's just that it's hard to say whether the land obtained from the lake is considered good land. If the year is good and the Taihu Lake is calm, it will be a first-class fertile land; But if Taihu Lake is flooded, not to mention the fields created by the lake, then the city of Suzhou can be flooded!

The farmer still remembers that 12 years ago, when the Taihu Lake flooded, Suzhou was flooded, the fields were not harvested, there were not a single house outside the city, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

Li Weijian couldn't help but think to himself, and made cement, thinking that in a few years, the flood would subside slightly, right?

In a blink of an eye, I walked to the surface of the lake, and was looking up, when I suddenly saw a touch of red clothes looming from the field. Li Weijian looked intently, and saw that the woman in red was dressed in a short coat, pulled up her trouser legs, and was bending over to look for something in the rice field.

The sound of the water was loud, and the woman suddenly grabbed it with both hands, and a yellow eel was caught in her hand. The little girl looked happy, threw it into the bamboo basket behind her, helped the hat on her head, and stepped on the paddy field with a deep foot and a shallow foot and was about to come out. When I got to the edge of the paddy field, I picked up my shoes and went to the lake to rinse my feet full of mud, and then I put on my shoes and socks.

Then he squatted on a stone and took a small dagger to disembowel.

It's Xing Xiuyan...... Li Weijian couldn't help but sigh, and quietly walked over with his hands in his hands, stopping behind Xing Xiuyan.

Hearing the sound behind him, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly looked back, and saw Li Weijian looking at the general with a smile, Xing Xiuyan was startled, and hurriedly got up: "I've seen Master Li." ”

"You know me?"

Xing Xiuyan opened his mouth with Wu Nong's soft official words, and said, "I heard the people in the temple mention it." ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "I accidentally saw you catch a yellow eel...... Do you want to sell that yellow eel? ”

Xing Xiu's face turned red and said, "No...... I ate it myself. ”

"Oh, that's what I was abrupt." Li Weijian thought about it: "If this is not the case, how about I exchange three catties of sausages with you for the yellow eel?" ”

Xing Xiuyan snorted: "It is forbidden to eat meat in the temple. ”

"I didn't say to take it back and eat it, what are you afraid of?"

Xing Xiuyan thought for a while, and then said: "This yellow eel is not worth anything, if the adult wants it, just give it to the adult." ”

"I'm not a strong beam, where can I take your things for nothing? It's decided, when you return to the temple, I'll ask someone to send it to you. ”

"Hmm." Xing Xiuyan responded, grabbed the yellow eel from the bamboo basket, thought about it but was wrong, and simply gave the bamboo basket to Li Weijian.

Li Weijian took the bamboo basket with a smile, and Xing Xiuyan didn't dare to look at him again, so he bowed and hurriedly left.

Li Weijian called two forbidden soldiers, asked for a fire sickle, looked around for dry firewood, and simply raised a bonfire by the lake to roast the yellow eel. The three of them didn't have salt on them, so they simply sprinkled gunpowder on them, although the taste was weird, Li Weijian ate it with relish.

Thinking of Xing Xiuyan, Li Weijian instructed someone to pay attention to the situation at home.

The forbidden army immediately understood, and only said that Li Weijian was happy to see the hunt, and he was busy agreeing. After a yellow eel was eaten, the three of them returned to Panxiang Temple, and when they arrived at the mountain gate, a nun came quickly: "Lord Li can make it easy to find the poor nun, Lord Li also please go up the mountain quickly, the new Suzhou prefect Lord Zhuang is waiting for you." ”

Li Weijian was happy, Zhuang Yougong came too quickly, and he pondered it, and he must have asked for himself.

Li Weijian was not in a hurry to enter the Panxiang Temple, and sure enough, he saw Zhuang Yougong in the Daxiong Treasure Palace. The two of them are in their early thirties, and Li Weijian is only fifteen or six; On official positions, a prefect of the fourth grade, and a fifth-grade inner mansion Langzhong. And Li Weijian still has a knighthood.

Because they only treat each other with courtesy.

Li Weijian came first, and was about to invite Zhuang Yougong to the back courtyard to talk, when Hui Ming Lao Ni smiled and said: "It is really a blessing for the two adults to come. Lao Ni is speechless, and is willing to entertain the two adults with Lu'an tea, I don't know what to do? ”

That Zhuang Yougong smiled and said: "It's okay, I was about to ask the abbot for a cup of tea to moisten my throat." ”

Hui Mingxi said: "In this way, the two adults, please come with the old nun." ”

Li Weijian was playful, walked side by side with Zhuang Yougong, talked and laughed, and followed the old nun all the way, and sure enough, he arrived at the small courtyard where Miaoyu was.

Hui Ming greeted him, and hurriedly ordered Miaoyu to cook tea, and then led the two of them inside.

The middle hall is laid out as a tea room, with a couch next to it, a soft cushion on the couch, and a variety of tea sets on the small table.

There are paintings on the wall, but they are not Buddha statues, but tea saint Lu Yu.

Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, this Miaoyu really never regarded himself as a person in the Buddhist sect.

At this time, he saw Miaoyu Yingying and said, "Wait a while, two adults, and I'll cook tea." ”

Li Weijian stretched out his hand to invite: "Zhuang Fuzun, please." ”

"Please."

The two of them lifted their robes and sat down on the couch, and Zhuang Yougong said: "Today, I just sent off the envoy according to the inspection, and when I returned, I saw that the road was congested, and I sent someone to ask to find out that it was Li Langzhong who arrived in Suzhou City." You and I are ministers of the same court, although we have never met, but since Li Langzhong has passed through this place, how can this official do his best to be a landlord. That's when I came to visit in a hurry. ”

"Haha, Fuzun is polite. The official heard that Suzhou had only been in chaos some time ago, and the Fuzun had just arrived, but he was afraid that he should be busy at this time, because he had never entered the city. ”

That Zhuang Yougong said: "It's really busy, don't hide it, this official is also the first time to go out, this time is anxious, I really don't know where to start." ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "Fuzun's mind is far from being comparable to his own officials, I expect to have a clue, just waiting for charity, ah?" Hahaha. ”

Li Weijian originally intended to expose the matter, but Zhuang Yougong showed a bitter face and said: "Lang Zhongyan is exaggerated, where do I still have a clue now?" Suzhou is a mess, the weaving bureau owes no less than 800,000 taels of silver to the weaving yards, this silver money is not paid, the weavers will be hungry, but I am afraid that there will be chaos at that time. ”

Li Weijian said: "The governor came to Suzhou some time ago, so he didn't think of any way? ”

Zhuang Yougong said: "The governor allocated 130,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the Suzhou Mansion has to think of it himself." This official is poor and short-minded, helpless, I heard that Li Caishen came to Suzhou, so I had to ask to come to the door, and I hope that Li Langzhong will save me. ”

Li Weijian blinked, embarrassed on his face, but happy in his heart! I was worried about how to get involved with the magistrate, so this Zhuang Yougong was sent to the door...... Isn't it just money, he Li Weijian stirred up the storm, only 800,000 taels, and he could raise all of them in a few days.

Li Weijian was silent, and Zhuang Yougong's face was flushed. He gave up his face at this time, and if Li Weijian couldn't solve it, he could only go to the court and ask for internal funds to appease the weavers in Suzhou.

At this time, Miaoyu returned with a steaming kettle, played sandalwood, washed the tea set, washed the tea, and made tea. Even Zhuang Yougong couldn't help but look at it twice, and Li Weijian was indifferent, just waiting for the tea to be pushed in front of him, and then he copied it and said: "Fuzun, don't mention this silver money for the time being...... Can the government know why this official came from? ”

Zhuang Yougong said that Li Weijian came to promote the steam engine, but he pretended to be confused, and said: "I was about to ask for advice, Lang Zhong this time——"

Li Weijian took a sip of tea, didn't think there was anything special, and said: "This matter is a long story...... In the month of Layue, the official talked with his teacher about changing rice to mulberry, and they both thought that this matter was too much, and they were afraid that there would be a food shortage in Jiangnan in the future. ”

Zhuang Yougong said solemnly: "Yan Shilang, this is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country." In the former Ming Dynasty, this place in the south of the Yangtze River was more mulberry cotton than rice, and the people paid for mulberry cotton in exchange for silver money, and then used the silver money to buy Huguang rice grain. Although the benefits of this mulberry cotton are huge, it is not worth food.

And Huanghuai and Taihu Lake are in turmoil from time to time, and there was government pressure earlier, and there are still some rice plantings; If there is no government control, I am afraid that it will ...... When natural disasters and man-made disasters are gathered in one place, there will be a big mess in Jiangnan. ”

Li Weijian bowed his head and said: "The teacher also said the same. The official thought about it, but he was afraid that he would have to do it if he changed rice to mulberry, and the imperial court was really short of taxes. To prevent chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it is necessary to build water conservancy. Only by controlling the Huanghuai and Taihu lakes can we avoid chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Zhuang Yougong bowed his head, but he was extremely unfamiliar in his heart, how could he change rice to mulberry again?

After a few words, Li Weijian changed his words and said: "The official thinks about it, now the water conservancy costs the people and money, and the cost of building a stone pond is too much...... If there is a new object like Sanhe soil, which is not afraid of the sun and water, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with floods? ”

"Uh...... Lang Zhong's whimsical ideas, the official admired. Zhuang Yougong endured it without scratching his head. Why did this Li Caishen jump out like this in front of him, and he was involved in a new object?

At this time, I saw Li Weijian suddenly clasping his hands together and said: "This official has spent more than ten days since then, and has tried repeatedly, what does Fuzun guess?" ”

"Huh?"

Without waiting for Zhuang Yougong to say anything, Li Weijian said: "Exactly, this official really created this thing by chance!" ”

"Huh? Ahh......h

Li Weijian said: "This official went south this time for the cement matter. Fuzun try to imagine, this thing is plain powder, mixed with sand and gravel during construction, and it will be as solid as a rock after a few days of drying, not afraid of rain washing, and the cost of materials is saved by seventy percent compared with the stone pond...... Dare to ask Fuzun, if you get this thing, will this water conservancy be easy? ”

I see! Zhuang Yougong thought to himself, yes, this Li Langzhong is a real scholar and is very good at creating things. If it is as it says, it is really a great thing!

"Really? This is for the benefit of all the people of the world. ”

Li Weijian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's too early to say this...... Zhuang Fuzun, the official sent people to listen around earlier, looking for it, and then found this place. He raised his hand and pointed to Taihu Lake and said: "There is a Xishan Island in Taihu Lake, which not only has limestone for cement, but also coal for cement. This official came to Suzhou this time to prepare for the construction of cement business on this Xishan Island. ”

"Cement?" Zhuang Yougong was thinking about Jingshi Water Affairs, and immediately asked eagerly: "I don't know about this cement business...... Is it the sole run of the Inner Government, or is it ...... According to the old practice of water utilities? ”

Li Weijian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The mansion also knows that the imperial court is not enough, and this cement is ...... Naturally, it follows the old practice of water affairs. ”

"Eh!" Zhuang Yougong was overjoyed and said busily: "In this way, Lang Zhong has something to invite, and the official will definitely run in person!" ”

That Jingshi Water Affairs, Shuntianfu took advantage of the sky. According to the water regulations, doesn't that mean that the Suzhou government can also take some shares in this cement business?

When the time comes, sell some, won't the mess in the city be solved? In person, this Li God of Wealth really lives up to his name!

Zhuang Yougong picked up the teacup again and saluted: "This official replaces wine with tea, thank you Li Langzhong for helping the crisis and saving Suzhou from fire and water." ”

"Huh? Fuzun is polite. Please! ”

Zhuang Yougong drank all the tea in the cup, only to feel physically and mentally happy, and then remembered that he was still sitting with a Miaoyu on the side, so he smiled and bowed his head: "Girl, good tea." ”

Miaoyu said: "Fuzun is used to drinking, this water is the dew of the Ming Dynasty last year, and there is only one jar left, which is used to entertain Fuzun today...... and Li Lang hit. ”

Zhuang Yougong was born in a traditional literati, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "No wonder there is no taste in it." ”

Li Weijian in front of him had a strange face, and glanced at the kettle several times.

Miaoyu asked: "Li Langzhong, is the kettle inappropriate?" ”

"No, the official was thinking, the water had boiled."

Miaoyu said: "I have boiled three times, and I have dried it for a while, otherwise I will not dare to entertain the two." ”

"That's good." Li Weijian was relieved, so he didn't have to worry about his stomach this time.

Miaoyu wondered in her heart, and when she was about to ask, Li Weijian said to Zhuang Yougong that she would get up. Miaoyu is not good at interjecting, and only slanders Li Weijian in her heart.

She didn't know that Li Weijian was also secretly slandering in her heart. The dew that has been burned for a year is used to make tea, what is wrong with this? Miaoyu seems to be extremely elegant, but in fact it is completely vassal and elegant. I'll give her a microscope in the future, so that she can see with her own eyes what is in the water after a year, and see if she is still elegant!

After talking to Zhuang Yougong for a long time, his entourage came to urge him twice, and Zhuang Yougong knew that there was something going on in the yamen, so he had to get up and leave.

Li Weijian personally sent Zhuang Yougong out of the mountain gate, and when he was far away, he thought about returning to Panxiang Temple.

Zhuang Yougong just read the fish scale book, and when he mentioned Xishan Island, he said that the mountains on the island are owned by the government, which can be regarded as a shareholder of Suzhou Mansion; The rest of the heavenly land belongs to three families, and it will take some time to buy them.

After thinking about it for a while, even if Li Weijian was relieved, why bother him about this? I am afraid that if I am in Suzhou and the news of the cement business is released, the Jiangnan gentry will definitely be moved. When the time comes, just let them take action, and they don't have to be wicked themselves.

Halfway through, a sliding rod suddenly came from behind, and I caught a glimpse of several forbidden soldiers protecting Li Weijian, and the fat man on the sliding rod hurriedly shouted: "Put it down, put it down, put it down, and I will put it down." ”

The sliding rod was put down, and the big fat man lifted his robe and walked up the stairs, more than a dozen steps away from Li Weijian, and shouted from afar: "Dare to ask in front of Li Langzhong?" ”

Li Weijian stopped in front of the temple gate, glanced back at the fat man, and ordered the forbidden army beside him with a smile: "Block it for me, the official will go back first." ”

Several forbidden soldiers received the order, and Li Weijian immediately entered the temple. When the fat man arrived at the temple, he was stopped by two forbidden soldiers. The fat man was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Li Langzhong, Gu Wanzhong in Suzhou...... My father is Gu Weicheng. ”

Gu Weicheng was the first assistant in the Xiaojing period, Li Weijian paused, looked back at the fat man and sighed, and said, "That's it, let Gu Yuan come over." ”

Only then did the two forbidden soldiers let go of Gu Wanzhong, Gu Wanzhong was suddenly overjoyed, and trotted all the way to the front with his robe: "Eh, Li Langzhong is really ...... Even if I arrived in Suzhou, how could I Suzhou gentry also fulfill the friendship of landlords. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "How did Gu Yuanwai know that I was in this Panxiang Temple?" ”

"This ...... It's also a random guess below. ”

"Guess? Gu Yuanwai is very lucky...... If you come here tomorrow, you can't say that you will leave. ”

"Huh?"

Li Weijian turned around and walked slowly, and Gu Wanzhong hurriedly followed half a step behind. Li Weijian said: "This official originally wanted to run a cement business in Suzhou...... However, this Xishan Island has already had a master, and it is not easy to buy land, so it is better to find another place. ”

Looking elsewhere? If you miss today, where will you have the chance to meet this Li Caishen in the future?

Gu Wanzhong said: "What's so difficult about this? Don't hide it from Li Langzhong, there is a lot of land on Naxishan Island in Xia, and the remaining two families come forward in Xia and put the land in their hands. ”

"It's too much trouble—"

"You don't need Lang Zhong to come forward in this matter, everything is in the next place...... Five-day ...... No, three days, within three days, the title deed of Xishan Island will be presented in the next place. Hey...... That is, this cement business, Lang Zhong has to let him mix a share under it no matter what. ”

Li Weijian stopped, looked at Gu Wanzhong with a smile, and asked, "Just three days?" ”

"Just three days!"

Li Weijian sighed: "It's okay, then it's three days." If you get the title deed, you go straight to this place to find your own officer; If it is not done, the official will leave for Zhejiang in three days. ”

"It's a deal! Lang Zhong looked, within three days, he would definitely finish this matter. ”

With Li Weijian's promise, Gu Wanzhong's spirits were greatly lifted, he turned around and rushed down at a speed faster than Fang Cai, jumping on the sliding rod to urge the people to return quickly.

The great wealth is in front of you, mixed with a share, that is, the wealth of the heirloom, where can you wait for this Gu Wanzhong?

Li Weijian smiled and returned to the small courtyard without mentioning it, but said that he and Gu Wanzhong had all kinds of things, and they completely fell into the eyes of another person.

This person is Xing Xiuyan's father, Xing Zhong.

This Xing Zhong and Mrs. Xing are cousins (Note 1), and this son does not know that Li Weijian is involved with Rongguo Mansion. But he knew Gu Wanzhong, this person was a famous rich family in Suzhou, and the best garden in the city belonged to others.

This person ran the Fushun and also opened a weaving yard. Xing Zhong worked as a steward in another weaving yard, and when he saw the Gu official in Su Rili, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to speak.

What did he see?

Gu Wanzhong, who has always shown his nostrils, nodded at this Master Li like a pug. That sentence is really right, everything is inferior, only reading is high!

Surprised in his heart, Xing Zhong finally knew the weight of Li Weijian, because he avoided it far away, and when he was far away, Shi Shiran returned to his home.

When I entered the room, I saw my mother-in-law cooking, and my daughter was making a female celebrity. Xing Zhong drank a coarse tea, wiped his mouth and said what he had just seen.

After hearing this, his wife sighed: "This Li Langzhong is such a great official." ”

"What can I say...... That Gu Daguan, Su Ri even has to treat each other politely, and he doesn't want to be in awe of this Li Langzhong like this. ”

His wife's heart moved, and she suddenly pulled Xing Zhong and said: "I see that Li Lang is not very old, and I don't know if he is married. If you haven't gotten married, you say Xiuyan—"

"Snort~" Xing Zhongle said: "Lord Li is so powerful, I'm afraid that the nobles and nobles of the high-ranking family will flock to him, where can he look down on Xiuyan?" ”

His wife was not happy and said, "Where can you not look at it?" Besides, if you can't be a wife, it's good to be a concubine. ”

Xing Zhong was about to refute, but suddenly his heart moved. Xing Zhong's branch is not comparable to Mrs. Xing's mother's family, and he has been living a hard life all these years. That Li Langzhong has the name of the God of Wealth, and his daughter is a concubine, not to mention that their family is prosperous, so they don't have to suffer from poverty, right?

While I was thinking about it, someone suddenly called the door outside.

The husband and wife hurriedly greeted them, and saw a Xiyi woman with different eyes fixed in front of the chaimen, and said with a slight bow: "My master asked me to send sausages to Miss Xing." ”

His wife didn't know how to speak, so Xing Zhong asked, "This girl, dare to ask who your master is?" ”

Bitong raised his chin to the east: "It's Li Langzhong who lives here." ”

Xing Zhong was stunned, and before he could come back to his senses, Xing Xiuyan had already come out of the room, took the sausage, thanked Bitong, and Bitong left.
