Li Tai stomped his feet and stood up very unwillingly. It was one thing to be threatened by Zhang Yang, but he was angry and anxious because there was nothing he could do to him.
"I told you that the prince is also very poor." Li Tai immediately mentioned Li Chengqian. No matter what, Li Tai didn't want Li Chengqian to live a good life.
Zhang Yang pondered and said: "Fiefdom construction also requires money. It requires both construction and industry development. This is not a small project."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Cheng Chumo has no idea about money. Anyway, he is not short of money now. "How much do you want?"
Zhang Yang said: "I should still be short of a thousand guan at the moment."
Li Taiyi gritted his teeth and said: "I will offer you three hundred guans! This is the most money I can offer. It is really gone!"
Cheng Chumo thought about it and said, "I can also come up with three hundred strings."
Everyone's business has just started. Li Tai has just made profits from the cake business, and Cheng Chumo's braised pork business has relatively thin profits.
"If the economy wants to grow, it cannot do without development. Building roads and houses also costs money. I also plan to open a resort there." Zhang Yang sighed.
"Four hundred kilograms! No matter how much I fight with you, the weight will be around a hundred kilograms!"
In the end, the three reached a consensus and made a contract to build the resort. Li Tai and Cheng Chumo each contributed 400 guan, accounting for 10% of the shares, and Zhang Yang each contributed 1,000 guan for 90% of the shares.
With a start-up capital of nearly two thousand guan, the reconstruction of the fiefdom can also be officially put on the agenda.
Li Tai asked: "What does that donut taste like?"
Zhang Yang said: "Of course donuts are sweet, otherwise would they still be salty?"
Walking in Qujiang Pond, Li Tai kept up and asked, "Where's the braised chicken? Is it delicious?"
"..."
"Where's the roasted duck?"
"..."
"How do you make the braised duck feet you mentioned?"
This little fat guy has so many problems...
Sure enough, I still wanted to beat him up.
Li Tai asked again: "When can the fiefdom be built and when can I eat these delicacies?"
"decide as things go."
"Well, how long do I have to wait?"
The little fat man looked forward to it with eagerness, his eyes full of desire for delicious food.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Zhang Yang suppressed the urge to beat him up, "Your Highness, King Wei, I'm very busy. I have to go back and make some plans."
"Uh-huh."
Li Tai kept nodding, "Be sure to give me a taste after you make it."
Just as he was about to walk out of Qujiang Pool, Zhang Yang looked back and saw that this little fat guy Li Tai was still following him.
Zhang Yang stopped.
Li Tai also stopped.
After taking two steps, Li Tai also took two steps.
Zhang Yang turned around and looked at him, "Your Highness, King Wei, do I look like a bun?"
The innocent chubby face smiled, and Li Tai said: "It doesn't look like that."
Sighing, Zhang Yang said melancholy: "Then why do you keep following me?"
Li Tai blinked again, "Yes?"
Zhang Yang said: "Well, as long as His Highness King Wei stands there and counts to one hundred with his eyes closed, I will take out the donuts."
"really?"
"A gentleman has no jokes."
"good!"
He closed his eyes in anticipation, and then started counting. When he reached thirty, he said, "Isn't that donut very sweet?"
No one responded to me.
Li Tai counted for a while, and when he reached sixty, he said: "Actually, I want to eat that thing called braised chicken."
Still no one responded.
Opening his eyes slightly, Li Tai looked in front of him and saw Zhang Yang's figure.
Opening his eyes completely, he glanced around and then at the guards around him, "Where are the others?"
"Already gone," the guard said with a straight face.
Li Tai patted his thigh and said, "What a mistake. I should have thought that he can't take out donuts anytime and anywhere."
After thinking about it, Li Tai pretended to be an adult and sighed: "My father often calls me a bastard. It seems that Zhang Yang is even more bastard than me. He even deceives a ten-year-old child. He is really not a gentleman..."
After speaking, Li Tai looked at the guards beside him again, "Do you think I am right?"
The guard kept nodding, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, is right."
Cheng Chumo returned home and handed the contract to Cheng Yaojin.
The father and son looked at each other in silence for a while.
Cheng Yaojin said after reading the contract for a while: "Investment?"
Cheng Chumo nodded, "He said he would give you money first, and then he would give you more in return. That should be what he meant."
"You agreed?"
"He is someone's brother, so he naturally agreed."
Cheng Yaojin was also very troubled because his son was too melon. Zhang Yang was the consort, even if he was half-royal.
Cheng Yaojin was worried about whether this incident would affect his children in the future, and he also felt that Zhang Yang seemed to have some abilities.
Cheng Yaojin added: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is also involved?"
Cheng Chumo nodded heavily.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Yaojin said, "Let's let it dry first. Four hundred guan is not much money, and our family can afford it."
As a friend, Li Tai is not the kind of person who would go through fire and water. In times of crisis, Li Tai would sell people if the situation is not safe, but from the perspective of a ten-year-old child, the attributes of a naughty child are still full.
Li Yue was sitting at home listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, with the fiefdom's planning map in front of her.
"Aren't we going to plant flowers?"
"You can plant some potted plants on the roadside. If there is just a garden there, we have to walk to see it. Wouldn't it be better if flowers are planted everywhere and we can see them everywhere."
Li Yue thought about the scene at that time.
In short, the fiefdom is too poor now, and exploitation is impossible.
We can only let them work hard on construction, strive to ensure that the villagers have enough to eat, and lay the foundation for future retirement living.
I also discussed the general development plan with Li Yue.
He talked until late at night.
Zhang Yang cleaned up the house and opened the door of Li Yue's bedroom. She had already fallen asleep.
Under the moonlight, Li Yue curled up on the bed, leaning against the pillow.
Zhang Yang went into the bedroom and covered her with a quilt. Although the weather was warm, it was the change of season and it was easy to catch a cold.
I looked at her sleeping face for a while.
Zhang Yang was about to walk out of the bedroom when he accidentally saw a drawing.
Isn't this a drawing I drew before renovating the house?
At that time, she said she wanted to build the house like this, but she refused.
It turned out to be still there.
I found some more drawings.
This is the structural diagram of a hot air balloon. Looking at the composition of the hot air balloon, this design is almost the same as that of later hot air balloons.
Put things back in their place.
After walking out of the bedroom, Zhang Yang closed the door for her.
The morning of the second day.
Li Yue washed up sleepily, looking at Zhang Yang from time to time, "Did you sneak into my room while I was sleeping last night?"
"Your sleeping habits are not very good. It's easy to catch cold when you kick the quilt." Zhang Yang said calmly.
Li Yue put down the small wooden cup she was using to rinse her mouth, "You're still going through the things in my room."
Zhang Yang spit out the mouthwash and said, "I was helping you pack your things."
You can crawl into my bed in the middle of the night.
I can't enter your bedroom yet?
It can't be so equal.
As spring approaches, there are more and more weeds in the vegetable fields.
Li Yue held a small shovel and carefully cleaned the weeds in the vegetable field.
I plan to visit the fiefdom again today.
The couple sat opposite each other and had breakfast.
The morning sun shines in the yard, and Li Yue likes this warm feeling very much.
After tidying up the house, the two of them walked hand in hand to the city gate.
Since their identities were revealed, Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang have taken on the responsibility of protecting him.
The Tang Dynasty also had female generals, and there were also many female heroes.
The two aunts were also among the few heroes among women.
After the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Yang also understood more and more their feelings for Li Yue, which was that they regarded her as their own daughter.
Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves and walked to the outside of Li Yue.
The city slowly became lively. Looking up at the sky, white clouds were floating in the blue sky, and the sky was very clean.
Li Yue walked very slowly.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Yang would slow down from time to time to let her catch up.
Thinking about it, she is also quite tall. Her legs are not long, but at least they are not short.
Then I saw my daughter-in-law looking around from time to time, not concentrating on walking. Her attention was all on the bustling city, watching the various scenes of the world in the city.
"Husband?"
"Um."
Li Yue followed up in three steps and two steps, grabbing Zhang Yang's hand.
"After the fiefdom is built, can we go there often?"
"Of course, I plan to retire there."
"Retirement? Does it mean to support one's old age?"
"right."
"Shall we live out our days together?"
"if not?"
"whee."
Seeing the happy smile on Li Yue's little face, the two aunts also laughed.
At the gate of the city, Zhang Yang and a horseman were discussing the price. These horsemen would often sell carriages on weekdays, and there were also people from Chang'an City who rented carriages.
Zhang Yang said to him: "I will use the carriage frequently in the future, and I plan to set up a long-term rental."
This was the first time that the groom saw someone trying to negotiate the price of a carriage like this. He replied: "This little brother, I have never done this kind of long-term rental business."
The groom was accompanied by several young men.
Zhang Yang added: "You can prepare a carriage. You don't have to worry about selling this carriage. I will give you sixty cents per month, but I can use it as I please."
The groom thought for a while and said, "Eighty cents."
"Seventy coins, how about you and I each take a step back?" Zhang Yang took out a bunch of money.
The groom took the money and led the carriage out.
It's a very expensive car, and it's a lot of money.
This does not include the cost of later maintenance and the cost of hiring a groom. If you can rent it for a long time, these costs can be saved.
Li Yue knew that Zhang Yang was usually very frugal. If he hadn't gone out together, he might have walked to seal the land.
I already have some money at home, so I don’t need to save so much.
The two got into the carriage, Aunt Wang drove the horse, and Aunt Yang sat aside.
The carriage didn't go very fast, and Li Yue didn't like the closed environment in the carriage. She raised the curtains and liked to quietly look at the scenery along the way.
After arriving at the fiefdom, they saw Niu Chuang leading the villagers to build chicken pens and pig pens.
Several pigs were driven away and howled.
The breeding industry in Datang is not developed, but most of the chickens and ducks are raised at home.
The scale of captive breeding is not large.
Li Yue has been attracted by the small flowers on the roadside. The weather has just gotten warmer, and wildflowers and weeds are growing the fastest.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming, Niu Chuang wiped off his sweat and said, "Brother Zhang, isn't it right to build this way?"
"That's right, that's right, but the sanitary conditions in our village also need to be improved, and the roads need to be repaired."
While talking, Zhang Yang handed him another bag of silver.
Niu Chuang took a heavy bag of silver and asked, "How much money is there?"
Zhang Yang said: "Six hundred guan."
"so much!"
Hearing this, Niu Chuang almost jumped up.
Li Shimin did not give him any extra money. If we talk about this as a dowry, this fiefdom can barely be regarded as a dowry.
Zhang Yang thought in his mind that being poor was a bit poor, but fortunately there was potential for development.
Niu Chuang had never seen so much money before, and now his feet were trembling, "Brother Xiao Zhang, we haven't even paid for our food yet. You're giving so much money right now. I'm really..."
"This is all for development. Don't be reluctant to spend money to repair the houses and roads in the village."
Zhang Yang pointed to the distance and said: "Smooth the road and pour it with mortar. The road must be wide and smooth..."
I talked to Niu Chuang about the details of the village construction.
The village is not big, with only 60 acres of farmland and a population of about 100. Counting the living and activity area, the entire village only has an area of about 80 acres.
Eighty acres of land is equivalent to the area of six football fields.
The area is indeed not large, and it is difficult to use it.
It needs to be well planned, and the village should not look too crowded after renovation.
Zhang Yang then said to Niu Chuang: "The most important thing in our village is hygiene. It must be clean and give people a sense of paradise at first glance."
Niu Chuang nodded, his eyes falling on a huge building on the drawing, "Is this the princess' mansion?"
"Princess Mansion?"
"Since it is a princess fiefdom, a princess mansion must be built."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just the design and renovation, I almost forgot about the princess mansion.
"This big building is not a princess mansion, it is a post house."
Niu Chuang gestured at the dimensions above, thinking to himself that the building was very big, facing south, with an open space in front, a pool in the middle, and another open space further ahead.
This is the first time I have seen this kind of house.
Niu Chuang, who has been building houses for many years, has experience. He vaguely feels that this house will be as beautiful as a palace when it is built.
Zhang Yang added: "Let our own villagers use flush toilets first, and deal with everything in a centralized manner. We must do a good job in sanitation. Don't be too anxious during construction. Safety comes first."
"I understand, brother Xiao Zhang, don't worry, I'll get this done even if I'm head-over-heels."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Niu."
"Everything should be done."
…
After talking to Niu Chuang about some construction details, Zhang Yang left.
Niu Chuang looked at the plan in front of him and said to himself, frowning: "How can such a beautiful house not be a princess's mansion? Then where should the princess's mansion be built? There is no princess's mansion on it?"
The beautiful houses on this drawing almost touched the ceiling of his craftsmanship, not to mention that there were also roads to be built and waterside pavilions to be built, which was a very huge project.
When he returned to the village entrance, Li Yue was chatting with several women in the village.
She doesn't have any airs of being a princess.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming back, Li Yue stepped forward and hugged his arm and said, "How are the arrangements going?"
"It's okay, but the fortification is quite large and it will take some time to build."
The two walked back to the carriage, and Li Yue whispered: "After asking these women, I finally understand why the magistrate of Lantian County has not handed over the field register for so long."
