Chapter 29 Work for Reid

Rong Hui took three steps and two steps and walked outside the back door. Under the bright sun, I suddenly heard Huanpei Jingdang, and I saw my mother walking down the corridor with the help of her sister and sister-in-law. Behind him was Mei Jian and other maids, which was vast. For a moment, he was moved to admire the name and quickly greeted him: "Mom..."

"Get up, get up quickly..." Li's mother smiled happily, stepped forward two steps, and repeatedly complained: "Have a hard time. Don't drink so much wine in the future!" At a glance, Ling Xiao followed the salute and ordered, "This month, thanks to your daughter-in-law, she has been watching day and night. Tomorrow is January, and you can go back to your mother's house with her. He said a word and reminded Rong Guang, "Go and report the good news to your uncle."

Rong Xue felt that her brother raised his hand and implied the universe, looking like a master outside the world. Suddenly full of doubts, he asked tentatively, "Second brother, your cultivation..."

When Rong Hui saw that it was not early, he greeted everyone: "Mom, it's time for lunch!" He personally helped his mother turn around, took two steps, motioned Ling Xiao to take over, and took two steps behind. He explained to Rong Xue, "I had a very long dream."

"Dream?" Rong Xue's eyes flashed and asked as she walked, "What did you dream about?" Meng Dao, Meng Xian, or did the champion marry the prime minister's daughter?"

"No, no!" Rong Hui couldn't laugh or cry, waved his hand and smiled: "Anyway, there is no bottleneck before I step on the sky." Thinking of the chick, I couldn't help complaining, "How can I forget it!" He ran back to the house, took back the three-foot golden branch with jade leaves, and asked Rong Xue, "Why did you invite it here?"

"This is the meaning of Bixia Fairy." Rong Xue followed Rong Hui and explained as she walked, "After you were drunk, Bixia Fairy came back with a lot of elixir and ate them all for you. Let me put this divine bird at the head of your bed and say that it can exorcise demons and avoid evil spirits.

Rong Hui remembered the chaotic atmosphere outside the crystal ball, which was clearly yin and yang. The crystal ball is clearly his own "yuan god". And the boundless place is its own "divine sea". The yin and yang two qi accumulated on Pingshan have been consumed, but they have become the "yuan god" in advance and can be ingested by themselves. No matter what is missing, it is no power.

He weighed a little and felt that there was no loss or profit. He asked Rong Xue, "Did you say she wanted money?"

Rong Xue rolled her eyes and shook her head and said, "No." He also reminded Rong Hui: "After you were drunk, several Dongying masters wore filial piety and went up the mountain to find faults. Thanks to her help us fight."

"She still has a conscience!" Rong Hui exhaled and remembered the fire pillar Danding. He turned his hand and took out a storage ring and threw it to Rong Xue. He solemnly told him: "Dad, mother and brother, they are not qualified to practice, so they can only take the way of foreign elixir. Fortunately, we have such a foundation, so we don't have to worry about not being able to afford medicinal materials. If you don't want them to fight fiercely with people, you can refine more elixirs that gather qi and cultivate yuan, and your relatives and friends can also get some glory. Rong Xue raised her hand to catch it, nodded after hearing the words, and kept it in mind.

After lunch at Ziwei Pavilion, Rong Xue wanted to inspect the magic weapon, Ling Xiao wanted to settle down the accompanying room, and Rong and Song wanted to go back to the house to practice. Li's mother asked Zhou to prepare a "door return ceremony". So they gathered in the west to drink a cup of tea and dispersed separately.

Rong Hui was also concerned about several major events. Now he made an appointment with Rong Guang and went to the front yard study together. I wanted to go to see the bear by the way, so I asked my eldest brother to go first. He carried the chicks, brushed the leaves, walked into the bamboo forest, and found the rockery where the cat was hibernating. The cave under the mountain was deep, and the cat lay in the hole, motionless.

The chicks are quite excited to see their "old friends". The wings are fluttering, "jittering." Rong Hui saw it and couldn't help laughing. After careful inspection, I found that the bear's belly in the hole was small, so I couldn't help worrying. After a long time, I saw his breath and relaxed his mind.

In the bright sun, in the grove of the road, Rong Hui passed through the back room and went to greet Lingxiao on the way. With the golden branch, I saw her sitting in the front hall Luohan** and talking to the three maids: "Green clothes, you will take care of my clothes and jewelry in the future. Hongxiu, follow me to manage the accounts. Blue silk, you take care of my dowry...brother..."

Ling Xiao saw Rong Hui coming in with the yellow bird in his body, and quickly got up to salute: "Why don't you say hello first..." It seemed that someone had heard the secret, which was quite embarrassing.

Rong Hui was a little proud, cleared his throat, raised the bird and explained, "I wanted to put it down and leave, but I didn't know you were talking in the room." He inserted the golden branch into the brocade plum bottle on the couch and felt that it was not good-looking. He asked Lingxiao, "Where is the glazed wine jar? The one I'm drunk..."

"I put it away." Ling Xiao stood up and said, "I saw that Sister Yun likes to eat the 'horseshoe cake' from Guangzhou, and I'm going to find an opportunity to give her a pastry." The three red sleeves listened, looked at each other and bowed their heads together.

"Well..." Rong Hui nodded in agreement and teased the chicks: "Then just stay here!" He asked Ling Xiao again, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes!" Ling Xiao nodded and agreed, reached out and asked Rong Hui to sit on the couch, sat down with him, and solemnly said, "My 20,000 mu of spiritual field is a wasteland. It's easy to plow the fields, open canals and build dams. It's not a real Zhuang family. Where can they grow good land? Not to mention Lingtian. I have been in Danxia Mountain for four years, and I can only rain on time. So I want to ask my brother for help and find some people who can farm.

Rong Hui weighed for a moment and felt that it was not a big deal. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, let me ask for you." He got up and told him, "I'll go to the study and go to my mother's place for dinner in the evening." Step off your legs and go straight out. When I came out of the "chui hua men", I met Mei Zai and Xing Zai and took the opportunity to ask, "Are you arranging for the surrendering nu Xiu?"

The two saluted together, and it should be. Meiqi asked again, "Do you want to have a look?"

"No, other immortals have never recognized us. If we do big things, they won't come." Rong Hui exhaled for a long time and said slowly, "Madam 'Taiji' has become, and her cultivation is not below me. I want you to worship your wife as a teacher and pass on Lingshan Taoism together.

"This..." Mei Jian thought that she was Xiaoxuan's person. Ling Xiao saw Xiaoxuan and had to be a concubine. How could she worship her as a teacher again? Look at each other and bow your head together.

Rong Hui sighed until the two of them were scrupulous and continued to say, "I'm also for your good. Even if Xiaoxuan comes back in the future, I won't blame you. Think about it carefully. You don't have to reply to me immediately."

Mei's heart was surging. Seeing that Rong Hui was about to leave, she blurted out, "We want to worship the second master as our teacher, so that we can serve our former wife in the future."

Xinghai was slightly stunned and opened his eyes to look at Meihai. Rong Hui was also stunned: " worship me as a teacher?" Thinking of the opposite sex master and apprentice, nothing good has happened since ancient times. At present, it is more in the name of master and apprentice. Thinking a little, I couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Forget it. You worship Xiaoxuan as your teacher and Ling Xiao as your uncle. That's it. Didn't you each share a hill in those years? You just take it as a foundation and choose the idle method. Those nuns who surrender will also be placed by you. Mei Kai and Xing Kai felt that it was feasible, and they agreed to do so and happily left.

Under the sun, Rong Hui walked into the study and went straight into the backyard. He saw Rong Guang, Yan Liang and Shi Wanxin under the east steps and took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by some things on the way." Reaching out to invite everyone into the room, he went straight into the north room, sat on the couch, and asked, "How's Chen Du's business going?" He picked up the tea served by the servant and sig his lips.

Shi Wanxin knew that it was about asking about the port. He straightened his mind and waited for the waiter to retreat and slowly said, "Today, where Chendu is located, it is the ancient 'Yangdu County'. Songdu is located in the ancient 'Shicheng County'. Zhaodu is located in the ancient 'Guangchang County'. In the downstream, it is completely necessary for Nanfeng, Jianchang, Fuzhou and Hongdu to be navigished. Chendu is located in the bend of Jiangyuan River, which is also an excellent location for building a port.

He picked up the tea and took a sip and said carefully, "Ganzhou is not less than ten thousand miles in our southwest. If you want to build a port, you need to build a straight road to Ganzhou. The scale of the port can only start at a 30% plan of Ganzhou Port. And our straight road can only be repaired to Pingshan. Further southwest, it is the border of Ganzhou. After the blessing, you have to report to the Ministry of Industry for approval by the cabinet.

"I'll figure this out." Rong Hui had a headache and simply put down the tea and continued to say, "How much will it cost according to your construction method?"

"The continuous construction of roads and the reconstruction of the 'Yangdu' city will cost no more than 20,000 taels of silver," Shi Wanxin thought a little and explained cautiously: "The whole project can be divided into three phases. In the first phase, according to the proportion of Ganzhou Port, it will cost about 5 million taels of silver to dig rivers and build ports. As long as we rent out the berth and let the passenger ships outside in, we don't need to pay for this money. Phase II, freight terminal, dock warehouse. In the city, at least the East and West Street and Qianmen Street have to be reorganized. The cost of this issue is about 20 million taels. However, after the street of the house is rearranged, the rent will rise, which is an inch of gold. If the whole project is completed, the capital can be recovered within 12 years.

"20 million taels?" Rong Hui couldn't figure it out and asked with wide eyes, "Then how did you spend the remaining 180 million taels?"

Shi Wanxin took a sip of tea and said stiffly, "The third phase is the straight road from Chen Duxiu to Pingshan and from Pingshan to Ganzhou. For the first half, we have to pay for it ourselves. Most of the other half will have to be paid by us. That's the straight road condensed by the French array, spread one miles on the flat ground, and 10,000 taels are needed. If you enter the mountain, it is not surprising that it is 50,000 taels per li. Most of the money is spent on this, but you can borrow money from the bank and collect tolls in the future. If it can be connected to Ganzhou, it can be all returned within 20 years.

"If we do such a big project by ourselves, it will be a way to survive." Rong Hui pondered for a moment and exhaled: "Twenty thousand taels, not a small amount... You write a charter, as small as the price, specifications and quality of bricks and tiles. I happened to go to Chen's house tomorrow and talk to my uncle..." I felt too busy for a moment, and asked about Yan Liang's captured monks: "Have all the returned armored soldiers been dispatched? How are those monks arranged?"
