Be a master through ancient times

After coming out of the palace, Chu Ci went to the household department first. The cultural park should not be left unfinished. It was built by him, so he should take care of it.

The concierge of Hubu saw Chu Ci and immediately invited him in with a smile. Even the Hubu Shangshu and the servants who had disliked him before stood outside the living room and greeted him with smiles.

Yo huh?Chu Ci felt that there must be a monster if something abnormal happened. After exchanging greetings with them with a smile, Chu Ci got up and said goodbye, saying that he had something to discuss with Chu Ying.

These grown-ups got up to see each other off one after another, until they sent Chu Ci out of the gate, and reluctantly waved their hands at the door.Chu Ci was so shocked that goosebumps almost rose, and he always felt that if he didn't go out for a few days, the world would be illusory.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at Chu Ying's place, he immediately understood.Chu Ying was originally squeezed into a room with other people to run errands, the space was only as wide as a table, and he was disturbed by the voices of other people chatting when he was doing accounts, so that he often had to stay and work overtime.

Now, he occupies a large room by himself, and all his things are placed in it, and a small couch is even set up for him behind the screen, so that he can take a nap after eating at noon.

Seeing Chu Ci stomping around, Chu Ying tsk-tsk while watching, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Brother Chu, don't be offended. It's because your office is different from others. I'm curious to take a second look."

"Have you seen enough?" Chu Ying rolled her eyes and didn't care about her manners at all. This person's face is too thick, and a reserved person has no ability to resist in front of him, so it's better to be direct.

"Enough is enough, brother Chu, give me some insight, which one of your adults in the household department can you sing? Could it be that you want to..." Chu Ci sat opposite Chu Ying and asked in a low voice.

Chu Ying also responded in a low voice: "You think too much. It's too late for them to support you now, so how could they make things difficult for you? Even I have been exposed. The old man told me a few days ago that he will be promoted after the next year." He has a happy face, he has been sitting in this position for three years, and he will finally take a step forward next year, all of which depend on the leadership of this good brother.

"This is a good thing! You have to invite me to dinner, and I must try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship." Chu Ci congratulated him first, he knew that Chu Ying regarded him as a good brother, otherwise, this kind of hint from the boss , It can't be announced at all. If the wind leaks out, the chicken will be beaten, and you will be put on small shoes.

"It's easy to talk, I'll let someone notify my wife and let her prepare well." After saying that, before Chu Ci could refuse, Chu Ying called someone in and said this.

During this period, Chu Ci kept looking at Chu Ying with teasing eyes.Chu Ying didn't understand why, but he felt a little embarrassed by him, so she asked, "But did you say something inappropriate?"

"No, it's just that brother Chu and your husband and wife love each other so much that I envy you." Chu Ci winked and said, the meaning in the words made Chu Ying's face turn red, and her fair face was covered with red clouds, making him look beautiful some.

Chu Ci was laughing at the innocence of the ancients in his heart, but Chu Ying replied: "Aren't you and your righteous brother in love with each other? The brotherhood is deeper than the relationship between my husband and wife! I heard that the last time Commander Kou was in the lake Did you give him the jade pendant you were looking for?"

Now it was Chu Ci's turn to burn, he coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Okay, let's get down to business. Why are they holding me up?"

Chu Ying saw that his ears were red and he was trying to pretend to be calm, something suddenly flashed in his heart, but before he had time to catch it, he was ignored.

"You don't know, this cultural park is a cornucopia. Just the money collected at the end of last month alone has this amount." When Chu Ying talked about money, she suddenly became serious.

"You guys are too dark, aren't you? It's only been a few days since you opened, and you're renting out?" Chu Ci squinted at him, and he didn't care about the wool, but he wanted to buy his quiet shop. Say a few words.

"What are you talking about? We calculate it by the day, how can we collect it for a month? And there is also the rent for participating in the construction, and the money is not all rent." Chu Ying explained.

"Then why are there so many?" If it weren't for the one-month rent of the shop, where would the more than 3 taels of silver come from?

"You don't know. Since the official opening of the Cultural Park, not only has there been a lot of people in the park, but even the road from our capital to the southern suburbs has been filled with things. We took people there and marked out a place, so that they can go there every day. Rent is paid every day, don’t look at just five cents for a stall, it’s worth a lot! The adults also said that it’s inconvenient for the common people to travel. Let’s see if some carriages are built to pick up people from each workshop. .”

Public... bus?Chu Ci Fu forehead, it seems that the Ministry of Households is really poor, otherwise how can there be so many ways?

"Also, recently many poetry clubs and painting clubs in the capital have taken a fancy to those gardens that imitate the scenery in the book. They don't want people to disturb them, and they can arrange a morning or afternoon, which is also a lot of income."

"We also rented a few rare birds and animals from the rare garden, and put them in a garden for the common people to see. Each person charged five yuan, and they could also buy some food from the side to feed them. This is also money! "

Chu Ci was dumbfounded when he heard that, it seems that the Ministry of Household Affairs has to come to make money. He thought he was very good, but in terms of business acumen, he was still not as good as these professionals. , really convinced.

However, "you have to take it easy, don't turn this park into a private park, when all the people are gone, how can you make money?"

Chu Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, we adults look at the garden just like our own mother. We visit it every three to five times. If there is something wrong, we will immediately call everyone to find a way. Who dares to touch this garden?" It’s just that I can’t get along with him. Unlike you, I haven’t been there since then.”

"Don't bother the two masters with one thing, am I busy too?" Chu Ci said shyly.

"Don't make excuses, you're just lazy." Chu Ying already knew him very well, and if it wasn't necessary, this person wouldn't even bother to go out.

"By the way, when the garden was built back then, there was still a large area behind. What were you going to do? Our Lord Shangshu saw that the land was still deserted, and his mouth was full of bubbling, and he repeatedly asked me to visit you. The tone of voice." The money is right in front of my eyes but I can't get it, let alone them, Chu Ying can't sleep herself.

"I'm very tight-lipped. If you want to know, please?" Chu Ci deliberately kept it secret, and his eyes flicked around, showing a special taste.But the person in front of him was not Kou Jing, so he naturally ignored his demeanor.

"I beg you, okay?" Chu Ying put two fingers on the table, bent down with a plop, and knocked on the table a few times.

"..." Chu Ci was speechless, this guy has learned badly, isn't this his trick?

It was rare for Chu Ying to see him at a loss for words, and laughed so hard.

"Stop laughing and stop talking!" Chu Ci threatened.

"Okay, okay, Huaijin, you have a lot of adults, let's talk about it and listen to it!"

"Ahem, listen up. Our cultural park is free of charge for strolling around. No matter ordinary people or high-ranking officials can enter to enjoy the scenery, so there are people coming and going here, and it looks very lively. However, there is no How to make money, whether it is the repair of objects, the maintenance of vegetation, or the follow-up engineering construction, still needs a certain amount of investment.”

"At the beginning, I recruited those businessmen to sponsor. After they completed the initial construction, it was naturally impossible to invest money later, unless there was still profit. Therefore, we cannot build this kind of public welfare on the more than 1000 acres of land behind. sex garden."

Chu Ying nodded. If it is free, it may increase the burden on the household department. It will be a trouble if the tail is too big.

"My idea is to build a large inn behind here, which will be funded and managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. When there are guests from other places, they will definitely stay here. In addition, another road can be opened Come out, this southern suburb is bordered by Taichang County in Haiping Prefecture, if a port is opened in Taichang County, some passing merchant ships will stop here for two days, instead of bypassing the capital and heading south directly."

Chu Ying sat across from Chu Ci and wrote vigorously. He had to record what Chu Ci said, and then sort it out and submit it to everyone for discussion.

"So how can this inn attract people to come in? It depends on the next project. I want to build a large-scale amusement park behind it. General tickets can play some basic items, and some special ones can be purchased separately. , so that everyone can have fun inside. In addition, open a club for dignitaries to enjoy, and the charges for this part can be higher." Chu Ci began to draw cakes for them, although he hadn't figured it out yet Exactly which facilities can be applied in ancient times, but the ship is naturally straight to the bridge, and it may be able to open the door to industrial development.

Chu Ying was overwhelmed with emotion, and wanted to take this paper over to discuss with everyone right away. It would be best to settle it today and start building tomorrow.

"These things require the cooperation of officials from the Ministry of Industry, and your household department will go over to discuss this matter. Specifically, I will draw a few drawings when I have time. The rest will be planned by you."

Chu Ying nodded, and then took out the possible problems to discuss with Chu Ci, as if breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line.

After Chu Ci answered a few times, he stopped when he saw that his question got deeper and deeper.Chu Ying looked up at him puzzled, and Chu Ci touched his stomach suggestively, indicating that he was hungry.

Chu Ying suddenly realized, packed up her things, put them in the cabinet and locked them, and then led Chu Ci out the door.

Chu Ying's home is not too far away from the Ministry of Household Affairs. A courtyard house that Chu Ying bought was bought by Chu Ying. It is more than enough to live in their family of four.

"Daddy!" As soon as the two of them entered the yard, a small cannonball rushed over and hugged Chu Ci's leg.

Chu Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The child is shameless and offended. Qiaoer, let go."

Chu Ci smiled and expressed that he didn't mind, bent down and raised his hands, and lifted up the little guy named Qiaoer.This guy is not as beautiful as Chu Ying, he has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he looks very cute.

Qiaoer was lifted up suddenly, and she looked at Chu Ci in a daze. After a while, she turned her head to look at her father, and suddenly her mouth flattened, as if she wanted to cry.

"Don't cry, do you want candy for you, uncle?" Chu Ci put him down, took out the "baby coaxing weapon", and poured out a ball with a sweet and sour fragrance.

Qiaoer looked at his father with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to accept it but dared not.

"Take it, thank you uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle." The three-year-old child was still a little vague in his speech. After taking the candy, he ran in, and after a while, a little girl came out behind him.

This little girl is carved in powder and jade, as if carved out of the same mold as Chu Ying, how beautiful it is!This girl looked about six or seven years old, her big eyes were fluttering, she first called daddy, and then called "uncle" enthusiastically.

Chu Ci responded, then turned his head and said to Chu Ying: "Brother Chu's family's threshold needs to be raised higher, and after more than ten years, people will break through." Before Chu Ying could react, Chu Ci squatted down. After getting off, he took out all the bag of meatballs in his hand and handed them to the little girl.

The little girl smiled and said thank you uncle, then turned to look at his father and asked, "Daddy, can I take it?"

"Take it." Chu Ying said, "This is my little girl You'er, spoiled by us, she is always a bold one. But she is usually not like this in front of others, but today I hit it off with you, Brother Chu." .”

"It's called good eyesight. A little girl should be more generous. At a young age, don't let her read those messy things. She doesn't have to change her temperament." Chu Ci naturally said those books that restrain girls, If you watch too much, you will become that kind of wooden beauty, not fresh at all.

Chu Ci actually overstepped the point, but Chu Ying was not angry at all, but felt heartwarming.Apart from his family, he has no other relatives in this capital. There are a few acquaintances who nod, but there are no close confidants like Chu Ci.

"Brother Chu coincides with what I think. As long as you learn the rules well, I won't force you to do anything else." Chu Ying never thought about letting her daughter climb high, as long as she married a well-matched family in the future, it would be fine.

"What are you talking about outside? Come in and have dinner! This is Brother Chu, whom my husband-in-law talks about every day, right? When I saw him today, he is indeed gentle and handsome, and he looks better than my husband-in-law!" A woman came out of the door suddenly. She was tall, of medium appearance, neatly dressed, and spoke loudly. From the perspective of ordinary people, she was not a good match for Chu Ying.

But Chu Ci felt that this kind of generous and cheerful woman stood very harmoniously with Chu Ying.When the two looked at each other, the love in their eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

"This is my sister-in-law, right? Chu Ci is very polite. I came to visit rashly today, and I don't know how to be polite. I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me." Chu Ci hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Chu, why are you being polite? You are good friends with my family, so just treat this as your own home. No one would bring a gift when you come to your own home! If you are so estranged, sister-in-law, I will be angry." Meng Qingniang Hearing Chu Ying read a lot, and knowing Chu Ci's temperament, he was not polite at all.

"Haha, sister-in-law is a straightforward person, so I won't be polite with sister-in-law. But the gift to our little niece and nephew is still indispensable. When brothers bring them over some other day, sister-in-law should not refuse." Chu Ci knows , this pair of Chu Ying's sons and daughters are the complements of the two. The son is like a mother, with a temper like a father, and the daughter is like a father, but with a temper like a mother.

A group of people went in to eat with affection, and the dishes on the table were all authentic northern dishes. Yes, no matter how good it is, it loses a little taste.
