Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hao and the British public took a carriage out of the capital and headed for the western suburbs, because Li Wei was not in the city at this time.

    He is staying at Tsinghua Garden, a private garden in the western suburbs.  This Tsinghua Garden was not the one of later generations, but the one at Peking University, which was the Changchun Garden where Kang Mazi later liked to stay.  Its garden is very vast, with a radius of ten miles.  It also diverts spring water from Xishan Mountain and forms a lake in the garden. The smooth water surface occupies most of the garden area, which is a unique blessing.

    The most amazing thing is that Li Wei, his son and the servants at home built this garden brick by brick by himself in order to save wages for the craftsmen.

    ¡°Actually, his craftsmanship is quite good, but he lacks manpower and works too slowly.  It has been eight years since we acquired this land in the third year of Longqing, and it has not yet completed half of its construction.

    So Li Wei Jiantian took his two sons to work in the garden and basically did not return to his Hou Mansion in Beijing.

    In this way, you can also avoid the poor relatives who come to seek refuge with him, and save a lot of money.

    He is very energetic, but both of his sons are depressed.  They are the real uncles of the old emperor. They should bully men and dominate women and live in debauchery.  That's good, there is such a father in the stall, why should he move bricks and plaster every day, he is as dirty as a mud monkey, and he has no time to spare for a day

    "Brother, do you think there has ever been such a miserable emperor throughout the ages?" Li Wengui, the second eldest brother, whined depressedly while beating Sanhetu with a mallet.

    ¡°It¡¯s weird.¡± His eldest brother Li Wenquan used bamboo pieces to turn over the mound.  Sanhe soil has a process from raw to mature. The more times and the longer it is refined, the better the effect will be.  "Otherwise, the third child wouldn't be able to voluntarily enter the palace to serve the empress!"

    In fact, they were originally three brothers, but later the younger brother was really a hay chicken. He would rather castrate himself and go to the palace to help Empress Dowager Li than work as a bricklayer all day long This is true.

    "Hey, the third child is still very discerning. He has become the chief steward. There are many disciples and disciples serving him, and he is as happy as a god now." Li Wengui was extremely envious.

    "Well, this is called enduring temporary pain in exchange for a lifetime of comfort." Li Wenquan sighed.

    "Why don't you ask your Majesty another day if there is still a seat in the palace?" Li Wengui also asked.

    "Okay, let me ask." Li Wenquan nodded and said, "Let's go into the palace together and let the old man do it by himself!"

    "Fart!" But he heard an angry shout. Li Wei walked in with a masonry knife, pointed at his two unsatisfactory sons and cursed:

    "You all go into the palace and let me do it alone? Do you plan to exhaust me to death?"

    "Dad, are you going too?" Li Wenquan said, "You will be the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, and I will be in charge of the East Factory."

    "I'm in charge of the food supervisor." Li Wengui immediately reported his favorite position.

    "Then who will live in this garden after it is built?!" Li Wei was so angry that his nose became crooked.  "Looking at your little potential, why don't you just do some work? How about you all imitate the third child and get stabbed?"

    "Dad, our family doesn't have money. Can't we hire workers?" Li Wenquan said with a sad face: "If we hired helpers, we would have lived in Tsinghua Garden and enjoyed the happiness."

    "Fart! It costs nothing to hire someone?" Li Wei rolled his eyes and said, "When the strength is used up, it will grow again the next day. If you use the money, it won't come back again."

    "After a pause, he said proudly: "Besides, masonry is a craft inherited from our ancestors. Before he came to Beijing, your father had a knife in Tongzhou. Those two swords want to make money like me? They have no way!"

    As he spoke, he squatted down, took a handful of soil in his hand, tried it, shook his head and said, "It's not usable yet."

    The dryness and humidity of this Sanhe soil should be controlled so that it can form into a ball when kneaded by hand and spread out when kneaded by hand, so that it can be waterproof and strong.  This is a valuable experience for old bricklayers!

    "Can't use it? Then you don't have to work today?" The two sons were immediately overjoyed.

    "Dreaming, there is a lot of work! I planted flowers today, did you buy the flower pot?" Li Wei snorted.

    "Oh." The two sons immediately withered.  The boss pointed behind him and said, "No."

    "Take one and have a look." Li Wei stretched out his hand.

    Li Wengui slowly took a large blue-gray flowerpot for his father.  Wu Qinghou took it and tapped it with his hands. The sound was crisp and soft, with lingering sound, which was pleasant to listen to.

    "What a good product." Li Wei finally had a smile on his face.

    "Of course, who dares to fool the emperor's uncle?" Li Wenquan was also proud.

    "How much is it?" Li Wei suddenly asked urgently.

    "It's not expensive" Li Wenquan just wanted to lie.

    But his second brother was a bit simple-minded, so he blurted out first: "Five two to one"

    "What?" Li Wei suddenly became furious, put down the flower pot, picked up the masonry knife, and chased after him.The cold stove is ready.  Waiting to see if the wind blows from the pillow.

    In short, if there are dates or no dates, who knows which cloud will rain?

    Emperor Li Wei¡¯s grandfather and the Queen Mother¡¯s biological father. Just because of this, Zhao Hao had to invest in him.

    So the two sides hit it off immediately and had a very lively conversation.

    Zhao Hao asked Li Wei, what is he interested in?

    "Whatever can make a lot of money is what you are interested in." Li Wei smoked the cigarette handed to him by Mr. Zhao and said with a longing look on his face: "It would be great to have a business like Xishan Group."

    The British man almost spit out a mouthful of water, thinking that you want to eat shit!

    Who would have thought that Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Then how about we build a Northeast Company?"

    "Northeast Company?" Li Wei blinked and asked, "Liaodong?"

    "Yes." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Including Liaodong Dusi, Daning Dusi and Nurgan Dusi, these three major dusi are the territory operated by the Northeast Company."

    "What can we do?" Li Wei's mood dropped a little.  It's really cold in the Northeast at this time.  As long as the common people can survive in the Guan, they will not go to Guandong.

    "There are a lot of things you can do. The Northeast is a huge treasure house. Mining coal, digging ginseng, and logging! You can definitely make money!" Zhao Hao said in high spirits: "If you make profits in three years, you can issue stocks to the Dashilan Exchange.  Just make a lot of money?!"

    "Yes, you have the final say on whether it can be listed on the market" Li Weideng's eyes suddenly lit up.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
