On the third day of the first month of March, Gu Zuo rushed back to Nanwu Prefecture, and under his urgent order, Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice temporarily retreated from the ore vein, and finally started his old business and began to build the first market in Southern Wuzhou.

Their work in the mining of the veins was carried out by other monks.

Gu Zuo pulled another slogan: Work hard for fifteen days, and strive for excellence at the end of the month!

In order to build the market faster, he even stopped the refined iron mine, which had just resumed work for less than half a month, and all the twelve mining personnel were transferred to Gao Changjiang's command.

The address of the market was chosen in a small valley between the South Main Peak and the South Second Peak, lined up along the north bank of the East Stream. The main reason for choosing this is from the safety aspect.

At present, the South Second Peak is shrouded in the protection of the Three-Yuan Extreme True Great Array, and the South Main Peak will also set up a large array, and several deacons who followed the Pingdu Eight Formation Gate have already begun to survey the terrain, and the layout can be completed within half a month.

According to Gu Zuo's plan, the place where the South Main Peak and the South Second Peak are located will become the core center of the Southern Wuzhou Law Array, and the South Main Peak located in the west will lay out the Tortoise Shell Lixuan Array, and the Three-Yuan Extreme True Great Array of the South Second Peak overlap and intertwine, and the valley between the two peaks, that is, the planning place of the city, is just under the protection of the Double Great Array.

Due to the tortoiseshell from the Xuan Array is heavier to defend the royal and rarely kill, the south main peak will also be set up on the Liangyi sword light array, after the formation is launched, a sword light can kill the early stage of Jindan in seconds, seriously injure the later stage of Jindan, forming a very strong deterrent. It's a pity that its sword light can't be emitted continuously, and the interval between brewing takes a long time, otherwise not to mention 3,600 guan, 36,000 guan is also worth having!

In the planning, the valley forest north of the south main peak and the south second peak will be set up with a seven-star inverted array to form a lost illusion; along a mountain beam two miles south of the two peaks, a four-elephant thick earth array will be laid out, which can be built into a thick city wall when it is launched, and at the same time supplemented by the red refining cloud fire array to help defend it.

In this way, Nanwu Prefecture will form a rough prototype of the city.

This city is supported by the main peak in the south and the second peak in the south, the mountain beam is the wall in the south, and the valley forest is the barrier in the north, which is more than 16 miles long from east to west, and six and a half miles wide from north to south, covering an area of 40,000 acres.

Among them, the valley between the two mountains is about 1,000 acres, which happens to be the market in the future planning, and was named incompetent Gu Zuo - Shuangfeng Town.

There are more than 5,000 acres of flat land between the south-facing "city wall" and Shuangfeng Town, and now there is also a medicine garden and a spiritual field, which will be the planned grain and vegetable base in the future.

This majestic city built against the mountain, there are six large mountain protection arrays densely spread here, a total of more than 30,000 yuan, in terms of the strength of the defense, it is enough to rank among the best in the world's big cities, the only thing that Gu Zuo regrets is that there are few people.

Gu Zuo watched with great interest the construction of Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice, and they showed a very high professional level as soon as they made a move.

In the morning, a vacant land 15 zhang long and 10 zhang wide was opened along the north bank of Dongxi, all the trees were cut down and all the shrubs were cleared, and in the evening, the open space was extended to 35 zhang. Two days later, it was extended again to 100 zhang.

Gao Changjiang took out a cylindrical boulder method mill, let the eldest disciple control it, and began to level this seventeen or eight acres of land. The rest of the disciples went to the south entrance sixteen miles away to dig stones.

The place where they mined the stones was to make a stone mountain, and strictly speaking, this place has gone beyond the scope of Nanwu Prefecture and belongs to cross-border mining. But this kind of thing happens in Nanzhao is quite normal, Montenegrin can't control it, and the Dongting faction used to often quarry stones in this stone mountain, and no one has ever said anything.

Three days later, the land was not only leveled, but also divided and demarcated, and after two more days, the foundations of ten houses were laid, each with two entrances, and the houses were separated by half an acre between them.

The stones in Shishan were almost mined, Gu Zuo personally went out, and after emptying out the things in the storage gold lock, he rushed to Shishan and pulled back the stones that had been sorted out and cut three times. I don't know what kind of magic tools Gao Changjiang's disciples used, and all the stones that were excavated were cut into stones that were one foot five long, five inches wide, and three inches high, and stacked neatly.

The next process of repairing the house really amazed Gu Zuo.

Gao Changjiang's apprentices each took out a set of small array plates, which are said to be designed by themselves, refined by Gao Changjiang's guidance, one person occupies a house foundation, lays down the magic circle, and the stones and wooden stakes begin to fly all over the sky in the magic circle, moving by themselves, and the walls, beams and columns, roofs, and wooden windows are built by themselves.

The warriors who assisted them in building the house mixed together the earth, rice milk, clean water, and some materials taken out of the Gao Yangtze River, and delivered them to the circle as required.

Eight disciples controlled the magic circle, adjusting the operation of the magic circle from time to time, and two days later, the small courtyard with eight front and back, two stories high, was displayed in front of Gu Zuo.

Next, the circle was replaced, but this time the circle was specially used to carve beams and columns, and in just one day, the carved paintings with different styles and different patterns were completed!

Sanhe Grain Shop, Incense Burner Silk Satin Village, Hanshan Restaurant, Ancient Pond Sachet, Wan Yan Dan Carving, Water Lotus Yazhu, Pingtai Thatched House were all completed, and they hung up plaques respectively, just waiting for the store to settle in.

The main entrance of these small courtyards faces Dongxi, and the wide shops and halls are all two-story small buildings, and behind the halls is the warehouse. Entering the backyard through the second door, it is the place to live, with a kitchen, a flower hall, a study and six bedrooms, and the functions are also perfect.

In the easternmost part, there is the newly established Nanwuzhou supermarket, and the person who was appointed as the supermarket manager is Jia Gui, who is serving a prison sentence, and the person who assists Jia Gui is Liu Xuanji. These two prisoners have a deep relationship with Gu Zuo, especially Jia Gui, who is Gu Zuo's cellmate, so Gu Zuo was directly transferred from the mine to the supermarket in Nanwuzhou to manage the buying and selling of daily groceries.

After the completion of the eight shops, Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice began to renovate the scenery along the stream, build stone fences, repair trees and flowers, and install stone tables and chairs.

When they were finished, the supermarket in Nanwuzhou was officially opened, with a dazzling array of shelves and abundant daily necessities, which made everyone full of praise. Gu Zuo personally came forward to cut the ribbon, and he was in a good mood after cutting the ribbon. With this supermarket, at least half of the thousands of salaries distributed every year can be repatriated, which can greatly reduce the burden of money.

Next to the supermarket in Nanwuzhou, there is the Pingtai Thatched House, which is specially prepared for Pingtai Mountain Villa, as Gu Zuo's first partner and minority shareholder of the Lingshi vein, of course, he must prepare a shop for them.

It's just that what the shop sells when it opens, the original Taoist and Gu Zuo are very controversial. Gu Zuo's idea is to focus on Yuanyang grass, and it's a big deal to underwrite - Huaixian Pavilion has been underwriting originally, and the purpose of letting them focus on Yuanyang grass is to attract merchants from all over the world.

Yuan Daochang believes that Yuanyang grass can be used as a commercial product, but it is by no means a major commercial product, and he prefers to sell some special products of Pingtai Mountain Villa, such as blended spirit wine, such as some mountain delicacies and game.

Gu Zuo said that the Hanshan faction is ready to focus on spiritual wine, and their Hanshan spiritual liquid Nanzhao is well-known, so I am afraid that you will not be able to compete.

In this regard, the original Taoist was full of confidence and did not listen to persuasion, Gu Zuo had no choice but to let him.

Within two days, the original Taoist chief transferred several Pingtai Ling liquor sales deacons from Pingtai Mountain Village, which made Gu Zuo breathtaking, so he turned to worry about the Hanshan faction.

ps: The map of Nanwu City is easy to imagine, and Taoist friends make up for it by themselves.
