The spring in Huiye Mansion is in full bloom. Peach, plum and apricot trees are hung on the front and back of the houses of the people. The annual honey-making fruit season is coming soon. Stepping on the grass growing on the grassland and smelling the fragrance of flowers remaining in the air, Jiang governor returned to Huiye Mansion with the dead tail of spring.

After briefly explaining a few official duties, Jiang Anyi hurried back to the back house. Dong'er has been home with Chen Zhi for more than ten days and hasn't seen him for more than two years. How can he not miss him? As soon as he entered the door, he heard the child's "giggle" laughter. It was Zhi'er. He came to the hall step by step. Jiang Anyi's eyes fell on the child running and laughing in the lobby. When he left, Zhi'er was still in his arms. He grew so big in a blink of an eye and could run around the ground.

"Zhi'er", Jiang Anyi's voice was trembling. Jiang Chenzhi was having fun, but was stunned when he heard the shouts. He stood there and saw an adult in a red robe standing at the door with a smile on his face, but he didn't recognize him.

"Mom", Jiang Chenzhi was frightened and rushed to Dong'er who was sitting aside. Dong'er hugged her son and chuckled softly: "Zhi'er, that's your father. You don't always ask where your father is going? If your father is here, why don't you kowtow quickly."

Jiang Chenzhi leaned his head to look at Jiang Anyi who was approaching, thinking carefully that his father was like this, tall, black, with a black beard on his lips. Dong'er stood up and pulled his son, bowed and said, "Dong'er has seen the master."

Jiang Anyi held Dong'er with both hands and said softly: "A good wife is at home and works filial to me. Anyi is very grateful. You and I have been reunited. We must repay you well for your husband."

After saying something, Dong'er burst into tears, which made Jiang Chenzhi very anxious. He reached out and slapped Jiang Anyi's leg with his little hand, and cried, "Bad Daddy, hit you."

Everyone laughed loudly, Dong'er burst into tears and squatted down and said to her son: "Dad did not bully her, mom is happy. Zhi'er, kowtow to your father."

After Dong'er half-forced pulling it off, Jiang Chenzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Anyi, calling him "Dad". Jiang Anyi picked up his son and kissed Jiang Chenzhi on the face with a beard. Jiang Chenzhi pushed Jiang Anyi's face with some disgust and shouted, "Boom."

The whole family was talking and laughing. Jiang Chenzhi and his father were already familiar with each other. The blood relationship was very strange. After a while, Jiang Chenzhi became addicted to Jiang Anyi's arms and refused to leave, for fear that the father he had just met would disappear again.

"...After the girl Dong'er came, Tong'er wanted her to help manage the Li family's business, but I wanted her to manage her own business. I wanted to make a move to develop the purchased land as soon as possible." Jiang Anyi was not at home recently. As a big wife, Xinfei introduced the situation at home to Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi teased Chen Zhi and asked, "Which area in Dabeitiangou has started construction?"

"Brother Guo has hired someone to level the road. The wood and raw materials are being transported one after another. Just wait for the craftsman to draw the pattern and you can start the construction after you look at it." Xinfei replied.

Jiang Anyi has great hopes for Dabeitiangou. This place, which was initially named "Xiangxueju", needs to combine song, dance, entertainment, taverns, teahouses, brothels and casinos. The buildings in them are either grand and exquisite, or elegant and pleasant, with both northern and southern scenery, and Western styles. These unique buildings are cleverly connected into a whole through a corridor. Jiang Anyi wants to make it the most famous "Sales for Gold Cave" in Huazhou and even the whole country.

Xinfei is very familiar with her husband's plan. Jiang Lang wanted to use the help of "Xiangxueju" to attract all the rich people in Zheng State and build Huazhou into a prosperous place. However, it would take several years to build "Xiangxueju"

It is impossible. The amount of silver consumed is several times more than the military camp of the West Protectorate in Jian'an. Guo Huaili estimated it according to what Jiang Anyi said, and believed that it would not be less than four million taels. However, Guo Huaili was ambitious. If the "Xiangxueju" could be built, it would take less than five years to make a return. Let's wait to count the silver in the future.

Jiang Anyi said: "This time, the Ministry of Works has sent several masters to build the Anxi Protectorate Military Camp. At that time, they will be invited to see the patterns. These are talented people. The palace has been built. I think if I can spend some money to ask them to help supervise the construction, and I must build the 'Xiangxueju'."

Tong'er said in a little embarrassedly: "Brother Guo said that 'Xiang Xueju' would need a million taels of silver when he started, and the Li family occupied 20% to give 200,000 taels of silver. However, my uncle wrote that the clan could not raise so much money for the time being, only 120,000 taels, and the remaining 80,000 taels asked me to ask if I could ease it first?"

Xinfei said coldly: "Eighty thousand taels of silver are nothing, but this business is a partnership between four companies. In addition to the Jiang family, there are the Yu family and the Guo family, so they will inevitably have ideas. I will lend you the 80 thousand taels of silver first, but you write to your uncle. The ugly words are ahead, but you can't go back. In the future, there will be more money to "Xiang Xueju". If it is really inconvenient, you might as well withdraw the stock."

"Xiang Xueju" is a monster that swallows money. Before the completion of the company, each family would have to pay at least one million taels of silver. But everyone knows that once "Xiang Xueju" is built, it will be a hen that produces golden eggs. This business is profitable. The Yu family is also short of money and grits their teeth and invests all the profits of doing business in recent years. It is said that the Li family is a noble family, which is not even more difficult than the Yu family. It is obvious that they want to get a bargain, so Xinfei is a little unhappy.

Tong'er blushed and said, "Thank you sister. I will write to my uncle that there will be no such thing in the future."

The atmosphere in the room was slightly condensed. Jiang Chenzhi reached out to Jiang Anyi's hand and stopped and swept in a daze. Why didn't the room stop talking?

A servant came in with a smile and replied, "Uncle Guo's family is here."

Guo Huaili's loud voice sounded outside the house: "Xiao Jiang, you are finally back, you miss your brother to death."

Jiang Chenzhi broke away from his father's arms and smiled and said, "Uncle Guo is here, and Brother Tiger Head and Brother Zhier are here too." Hut Head Guo Hongming, two years older than Jiang Chenzhi, Zhier Guo Hongzhi, one year younger than Jiang Chenzhi. Dong'er came to Huiye Mansion. Guo Huaili brought his two sons to visit. The three children are not very different in age and have fun together. They haven't seen each other for two days, and they clamored to play together.

Jiang Anyi and others stood up to greet him. Guo Huaili's family of four walked into the door. Guo Huaili was round and fat, and his wife Guo Liu next to him had a plump figure. Guo Liu and Dong'er had the same temperament. They were best friends who could talk about everything.

Hutou hugged Jiang Chenzhi who ran over and said with a smile: "Brother Chenzhi, my father took me to see flowers yesterday. There are so many flowers, so beautiful, and fruits, so big. My father also bought a lot of delicious food for you and Brother Chenyi. With your favorite sesame candy, this bag."

Three little heads squeezed against the table and watched Guo Huaili put down the big and small bags. Guo Huaili picked up the bag of sesame candy and tore it open. He gave two pieces in his hand. He grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it creakingly, and reminded him: "Don't eat too much for one person, be careful of the broken teeth."

Guo Liu smiled and chatted with Xin Fei and others. Xin Fei said, "Let's go to the room to talk. Uncle Guo probably hasn't had a good sleep these days, waiting for An Yi to vent his anger."

Jiang Anyi was stunned and vented his anger. Who was angry with Brother Guo? Guo Huaili smiled and said, "Hehe, my brother and sister just like to joke. Just look at me, I'll know

I'm feeling happy. An Yi, you have a piece of it. This is the official sesame candy in Xihe, Fangzhou. I remember you like it too."

After taking the sugar, Jiang Anyi slowly chewed in his mouth. The sweet fragrance bloomed on his tongue. The laughter of children and the soft voices of women came from the yard. The afternoon sun shone through the window frame, and the creaking sound of chewing came into his ears and felt friendly.

"Okay, Brother Guo, what's the matter?" After eating the candy, Jiang Anyi stared at Guo Huaili and asked.

Guo Huaili did not hide it, and told him about Yang Zhongwu's secret envoy to Weiyuan Escort Agency Zhang Tiangang and made a big fuss in the Qixian Tower. Finally, he said: "Don't take some face and things to heart. But I think Yang Zhongwu is not kind-hearted. Will he take advantage of the opportunity of moving to the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion to deliberately suppress you? An Yi, you have to be more careful."

Jiang Anyi did not make a sound, thinking silently in his heart. Judging from Yang Zhongwu's performance in Matai County, the Anxi Protectorate did not agree with the move to the town. It was just that the emperor issued an order, especially the emperor issued an order to strip the jurisdiction of local civil affairs from the Protectorate. I think Yang Dashuai was also feeling a little emotional. Judging from Yang Zhongwu's final stop, he did not intend to tear his face, but just used the Weiyuan Escort Agency to demonstrate to him.

"Brother Guo, is Yang Zhongwu still in the Imperial Palace?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Guo Huaili sneered: "This young marquis is now a stolen person in the Ye Mansion. I heard that the Weiyuan Escort Agency has set up a house for him. Every day, there are long queues in front of the door to give him gifts. Many people think that Anxi Protectorate can hold his thighs and make a fortune after moving to the town."

Jiang Anyi sneered slightly. People who are greedy and forgetful, but how should Mr. Yiyong deal with it? Looking back on the several dealings with Yang Xiangliang, it seems that he has not gained the upper hand. He was drunk by Eunuch Liu's house and became the governor of Huazhou. He took the initiative to show his favor to the Anxi Protectorate's Office every year to exchange his let go of Huazhou affairs. From the words of garrisoning the troops, we can see that this commander has a high prestige in the army, with millions of soldiers in his heart, and his status in the mind of the emperor is higher than that of himself. If he had a conflict with him, he would be unfavorable to the country and Huazhou.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was in deep thought, Guo Huaili didn't bother and calmly deal with the fruits and melons on the table. After eating a pear, he ate a pile of melon seeds and three sesame candies, the children ran in from outside the house with a smile to find food. Guo Huaili was bored and immediately started playing with the children with the food.

Jiang Anyi simply stood up and went to the study room. There were some letters on the table, including Zechang's classmates, friends in Beijing, and socializing in the officialdom. Jiang Anyi picked out Master Yu's letter and read it first. In the letter, Yu Zhijie apologized to the students. The emperor's Northern Expedition caused the national treasury to be empty, and the silver from the Anxi Protectorate's House was unable to be arranged. Please understand more.

In the letter, Yu Zhijie criticized Jiang Anyi for building "Xiangxueju" without hesitation, believing that the country is still in poverty and has many places to use money. This move is undoubtedly a luxury and glamorous style. It is not good for the country, family and official voices. Yu Zhijie discussed the 20% of the shares given by Jiang Anyi with his two younger brothers, and learned that Yu Zhiren and Yu Zhihe were unwilling to let go, so he had to write to Jiang Anyi that 10% of the shares under his name were transferred and he did not want to get involved.
