The Ji family building is a three-storey pavilion that covers a large area of four directions and four eaves.

"A whole building?" Gu Ershao asked.

Ji Dashao nodded proudly, such a magnificent building belonged to their Ji family.

Listening to his father, their Ji family invested fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver in this building, and there were many valuable consumables.

At first, he also felt that it was expensive. This is put aside in Chang'an, and you can buy a good mansion.

But now he sees the real building, which stands out on the commercial street to the south, and he thinks it's worth it.

"It's magnificent." Gu Ershao admired.

Ji Dashao felt the same way.

The two stayed in Houcheng for a few days, and found that the outer city of Houcheng was very well built, neatly planned, simple and atmospheric, and very pleasing to the eye.

Later, they heard that the outline of the entire outer city of Houcheng was designed by the master of Suzhou who was invited by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to spend a lot of money.

Gu Ershao looked around, and the entire western suburbs industrial park was the most eye-catching in the Ji's commercial building and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building.

In addition to these two buildings, if we say that the entire four districts of the outer city, there are only Houcheng County Shoufu and Liaodong Academy.

The Houcheng County Shoufu covers a large area, and the main building includes the lobby, the second hall, the third hall, the Great Immortal Temple, the kitchen courtyard, the backyard of the government, the prison cell and so on.

The entire county guard house adopts the design of five rooms and seven frames, the eaves of the lobby hall are designed as a roll shed, and the main buildings are connected by the gutter and the rafters.

The overall look is simple and low-key, but also solemn and elegant.

The newly completed Liaodong Academy occupies an area that is also very large, but the architecture of the academy pays more attention to the artistic conception of books.

Looking at this commercial building engraved with the family emblem of the Ji family, Gu Ershao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the Ji family's trade route in Liaodong County has been opened.

Ji Daxiu is worthy of being the richest man in the south, and his business sense and business vision are as good as ever.

When he saw Wu Ren later, Gu Ershao asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Wu, can you help ask the government, can our Gu family build a commercial building in Houcheng with the same family characteristics as the Ji family?" ”

At this time, Ji Dashao was on the side, as if he didn't care, but he was actually pricking up his ears.

Wu Ren glanced at Ji Dashao, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't answer you immediately, wait for my news." ”

He knew that Gu Ershao was tempting this now, and he would ask for the same treatment as the Ji family later.

But he knew his master's attitude towards Ji Wuyin, and the current Gu clan would definitely not be able to compare.

In the words of his master, Ji Wuyin was the first person to take real money and take risks to gamble with them. They won, they ate a lot of meat, they have to let Ji eat the first bite of soup, right? If you make the right choice, you deserve to be rewarded.

Gu Ershao nodded and said with a smile, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Wu can reveal how likely this is to happen?" ”

"Presumably Gu Ershao also knows that the outline of the entire outer city of Houcheng was designed by the master of Suzhou, and it is difficult to change the design now." Wu Ren continued to do Tai Chi.

"Shopkeeper Wu, we are not outsiders, can't we give a quasi-word?" Gu Ershao joked with a little dissatisfaction.

Wu Ren saw that he insisted on knowing the answer, so he also said bluntly, "Of course this is possible, according to my estimate, the Gu family wants to build a commercial building in Houcheng with the same family characteristics as the Ji family, it is not good, if it is a little smaller, it is not a big problem." ”

"Thank you for being honest, I know." Gu Ershao was still smiling, but the smile on his face could already be seen to be a little reluctant.

Wu Ren's heart sank slightly, knowing that Gu Er was dissatisfied.

Forget it, the master said that ten thousand birds in the forest are better than one bird in hand. Their cooperation between Liaodong County and the Ji clan is very harmonious. Although the Gu family was once the first family in the south, they had never cooperated after all. So isn't it normal for them to be equal to the two in Liaodong County, and to be biased?

Wu Ren's words made Ji Dashao very happy.

Wu Ren entertained them for dinner before leaving, and after he left, he went directly to the county guard's mansion.

Ji Dashao and Gu Ershao returned to the house where they temporarily settled down.

Gu Ershao's courtyard arrived first, Ji Dashao nodded at him, and wanted to continue walking, but was stopped by him, "Brother Ji, it's still early, come in and have some tea?" ”

Ji Dashao agreed, and he also wanted to know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Gu Ershao poured him a cup of tea, "Brother Ji, we've been in Houcheng for a few days, isn't it time to go back?" ”

Ji Dashao was surprised, before leaving, his father gave him a lot of silver, and asked him to invest money when he saw a good project during his visit to Houcheng, but for now, he hadn't spent half of the money.

He didn't believe that Young Master Gu didn't explain Gu Er like this, and let him look at it and vote a little.

"Is the matter that Young Master Gu has given you done?" Ji Dashao asked.

Of course, Gu Ershao knew what he meant, so he said bluntly, "Liaodong County is adjacent to the Xianbei Grassland, and Houcheng is next to the Xianbei Grassland, which is actually not an ideal area for investment. ”

Ji Dashao agrees with this.

Gu Ershao's spirits perked up and he continued, "And Hou Cheng, on behalf of Da Li, only signed a peace agreement with the Xianbei Royal Court for three years, what about after three years?" No one knows what will happen in three years. If we put too much money into it, we will never be sure. ”

"You're overthinking." Ji Dashao disagreed with this, "If you are talking about other border towns, I very much agree with your statement." But this is Hou Cheng, it's different. ”

Where is the difference, Ji Dashao did not elaborate.

Before going north, his father slightly revealed a little about Mrs. Qin Liu, and he knew that there was such a powerful person in Liaodong County.

The Lu father and daughter spent so much effort on the construction and invested a lot more money than them, how could it be possible if they were not sure to cope with the situation in three years?

Gu Ershao disagreed, "What's the difference?" In the face of Xianbei Iron Cavalry, few people can resist. I don't know what Hou Cheng's response is, but after thinking about it, I finally feel that there is little hope. ”

Ji Dashao gave him a strange look, you are just a businessman, you don't want the government to share with you the response and plan in three years, right? This face is also too big.

"Hehe, Gu Ershao, I think you should think more about Gu Shao's explanation, don't make your own decisions." For the sake of Gu Shaozhu's face, he still persuaded a little.

Ji Dashao felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he offered to leave.

After returning to their courtyard, the henchman shook his head and said, "Young Master Gu sent Gu Ershao to Liaodong County, carelessly. ”

Ji Dashao snorted lightly, "Don't pay attention to him, Gu Er is used to being praised in the south, thinking that Liaodong County is the southland!" ”

Gu Er didn't know at all that it was not a big problem for the Gu family to invest money in Liaodong County.

To tell the truth, Liaodong County is not big, and there is already a Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, plus their Ji family, which can completely revitalize the land economy.

At this time, Wu Ren was standing in front of Lu Songli.
