Li Zhengdao looked at Zhao Fuxiang's nod, and after a while he said quietly: "Brother, these materials are easy to find, as long as you have money, you can buy them, but the brick and tile masters that my brother needs are really hard to find! The local brick and tile masters are hard to find."

They have all signed long-term contracts, and they won’t come if they don’t pay enough. I want to find one from Guangfu, but it will take some time!”

Zhao Fuxiang heard his father Zhao Zhikuan say that hiring a brick master does not mean asking him to help build a brick kiln. The technology they mastered was much more advanced than that of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhao Zhikuan had never built a brick kiln and wanted to hire an expert to watch the furnace temperature.

To avoid burning at too high a kiln and breaking porcelain into pieces, there were no thermometers in the Ming Dynasty, so the furnace temperature could only be observed manually.

Zhao Fuxiang thought for a moment and asked: "It's hard to hire a master. Are there any apprentices who have worked in a brick kiln?"

"There are apprentices, but they don't know how to bake bricks. They might delay my brother's business!"

"It doesn't matter. We have the drawings, but we have never built a brick kiln. You can just find an apprentice who has seen the brick-making process. You don't have to have a master!"

This was the first time Li Zhengdao heard that someone could build a brick kiln just by drawings. Those brick kilns outside Qiongzhou City, those brick kilns with hundreds of years of history, qualified masters and ancestral brick kilns are the key to producing finished bricks.

.

But since Zhao Fuxiang was so sure, Li Zhengdao didn't want to say anything. He nodded and agreed: "It's simple. I will send someone to look for it this afternoon!"

As for whether the people he found were suitable for use, Li Zhengdao didn't care. You couldn't make much money from bricks. I really don't know why Zhao Fuxiang still made them himself. Wouldn't it be better to just spend money to buy the finished product?

Zhao Fuxiang did not want to explain to Li Zhengdao what infrastructure construction is. If we do not build factories, roads and other infrastructure, how can we unleash the huge power of industrialization? It is easy to buy bricks and other building materials, but what Zhao Fuxiang needs is not tens of thousands, but millions.

There are tens of millions of bricks, and the few small broken brick kilns outside Qiongzhou City, even if they produce them day and night, can't meet Zhao Fuxiang's needs. What's more, it's cheaper to buy those that are produced by oneself?

Li Zhengdao put the copied contract away, and Zhao Fuxiang signed it one by one. Seeing that it was done, Li Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brother, the government is still repairing it now. After fifteen years, I will send the contract over! Now since

The company is established, should you and I have a drink to celebrate?"

"Haha, it's natural. From now on, I will be in charge of running the business, and my brother will have to rely on me!" Zhao Fuxiang rolled his eyes and said, "Since you want to celebrate, you don't have to go anywhere else. Cuiyun Tower last night was pretty good. Let's go there at noon.

How about going there?”

Li Zhengdao knew that Zhao Fuxiang was not interested in drinking. He said he was going to Cuiyun Tower for a drink to celebrate, but in fact he had a crush on his boss, Mother Wu.

Li Zhengdao smiled and said: "I'm afraid my brother is not thinking about celebrating. Is he attracted to Mother Wu?"

Zhao Fuxiang blushed in a rare blush and said with a smile: "It's both, it's both!"

"Haha, since my brother has this intention, I will naturally help him relieve his worries. When I go there later, I will ask Mother Wu if she wants to be a good person and follow her brother!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuxiang felt happier than he had just established the Nanyang Company. He quickly took Li Zhengdao's hand and said, "Thank you so much, brother! I don't know something. My brother has a fierce wife in his family. He lives a cautious life every day. I only saw yesterday."

It was only when I arrived at Mother Wu that I felt I had gained a new lease of life. Please make sure to make this happen!"

"Don't worry, don't worry! This matter will be taken care of by my little brother!"

The two left the Furui and returned to Cuiyun Tower, which they had just left not long ago. It was just after noon, and Cuiyun Tower could not open until dark, so the door of Cuiyun Tower was closed, and there was no traffic on the road in front of the door.

Several people.

Li Zhengdao stepped forward and knocked on the door. The cuckold turtle slave saw the two men coming back as soon as they left, and asked curiously: "Masters, what did you leave behind?"

Li Zhengdao laughed: "What? Can't you come for lunch?"

People in the Ming Dynasty generally had two meals, but the concept of three meals had already appeared, and it was only a habit found in some wealthy families. Although Cuiyun Tower also served meals, they were basically dinners. How could anyone come to a brothel at noon?

Dinner guests?

When Turtle Slave was about to say that it wasn't open yet, he knew that the two gentlemen at the door were quick on their feet and walked in without waiting for Turtle Slave to answer.

At this time, there were no lights in Cuiyun Building, and there were no windows in the Ming Dynasty. The sunlight from outside came in through the window paper, making the building very dark.

Just as Gui Nu was about to step forward to persuade Li Zhengdao and Li Zhengdao to leave, Mother Wu from Cuiyun Building happened to come out. She heard from upstairs that there was business coming so early, so she naturally wanted to go out to greet them, but she saw that it was in her yard in the morning.

Mother Wu was furious at the bastard who defecated outside.

When Zhao Fuxiang saw Mother Wu coming downstairs, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother Wu, we are here again today!"

Looking at the tall and fat man in front of her, Wu's mother felt nauseous for some reason. She frowned and said, "Masters, it's not business hours yet. Please come back in the next hour!"

Zhao Fuxiang couldn't move when he saw Mother Wu. No matter what Mother Wu said, he stepped forward and grabbed Mother Wu's little white hand. He stroked it gently and said with a smile: "Mother Wu, we are not here to find girls. We are here to find girls."

For food!”

Zhao Fuxiang's hands were fat and big. In addition, Zhao Fuxiang was so excited when he saw the goddess in his heart that his palms were covered with sweat. Being held by these fat and wet hands, Mother Wu suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.

Mother Wu pulled her hand back and said angrily: "Master Zhao, this is a brothel, not a restaurant! If you want to eat, please go out, we are not welcome here!"

Brothels, like various entertainment venues in later generations, make money by selling laughs. It’s not like Mother Wu has never encountered bad men who had ideas for her in the past, but she was rejected by Mother Wu without any trace. This is the first time she is so angry today.

.

When Zhao Fuxiang saw Mother Wu being angry, the thought of being betrayed arose in his heart. Zhao Fuxiang said with a mean smile: "Eating there is not just eating. Doesn't Mother Wu just like money?"

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket, a total of ten taels. This was the money Li Zhengdao had just given him yesterday.

Ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Although a large inflow of silver caused silver depreciation in the Ming Dynasty, five taels of silver was enough for a family of three in Nanjing to live for a month. Prices in Nanjing are several times that of Qiongzhou, and these ten taels of silver are enough for Qiongzhou.

I have been living in a middle-income family for a year.

Although Mother Wu had seen a lot of people in Nanjing, this was the first time she saw a high-roller like Zhao Fuxiang who could make a fortune.

With the huge sum of money in hand, even if Mother Wu hated Zhao Fuxiang, she couldn't show it. Mother Wu quickly changed her signature smile and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is so heroic. Since Cuiyun Tower is like this, this is an exception. I will prepare it for you two."

Food and drinks!”

When Bai Yinhua went out, the whole Cuiyun Building immediately started to take action. The cook who was still resting behind immediately started a fire, and started cooking dishes for the two guests who came in front. No!

At this time, there were only two guests in Cuiyun Tower, Zhao Fuxiang and Li Zhengdao. Naturally, the food was served very quickly. Soon a sumptuous table of wine and food was served. The food was very rich, with eight plates and eight bowls, a total of sixteen dishes, and the wine was also served.

Good rice wine, the girl is the most beautiful girl in Cuiyun Tower.

But this made Zhao Fuxiang very unhappy. After looking at the food, he cursed: "Why did I spend so much money just to eat?"

The turtle slave waiting on the side didn't know what was going on, so he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied! I spent ten taels of silver. Why don't you, Mother Wu, come to the banquet in person?"

After hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said, the turtle slave cursed in his heart that this rich man was so ignorant. From ancient times to the present, who would let an old madam accompany him when visiting a brothel? The turtle slave wanted to get angry, but he thought that this guy had just given him ten taels of silver. The power of the silver made the turtle

The slave suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, according to the rules of the hook, the madam does not accompany guests..."

Before Turtle Slave finished speaking, Zhao Fuxiang took out two more ten-tael silver ingots from his pocket, placed them on the table with two thuds, and then said: "How about it, twenty taels is enough!"

Turtle slave's eyes widened when he saw these two ingots of silver, and he nodded quickly and said: "That's enough, that's enough! Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhao, I will go and invite Mother Wu to come over now!"

Li Zhengdao on the side saw that the money he had just given to this guy was spent by him in the blink of an eye, and his liver ached with anger: "Brother, you like Mother Wu and I know it, but you can't spend it like this! This will make outsiders uncomfortable."

Think we are being taken advantage of!"

Zhao Fuxiang laughed: "Brother, thirty taels is just a small amount of money! As long as you can make a beautiful woman smile, spending a hundred taels is worth it!"

Li Zhengdao cursed Zhao Fuxiang in his heart for being a prodigal, thirty taels to win a smile from a has-been middle-aged lady? You must know that even the best Yangzhou thin horse is only a mere 100 taels, not to mention that Mother Wu is too tall.

, does not conform to the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty people, and is not very famous on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. It is really not worth spending so much money on this kind of woman.

Zhao Fuxiang didn't think so. Wu's mother looked like the actor Qin Lan. In later TV series, Qin Lan looked like a prostitute of the Republic of China, which fascinated Zhao Fuxiang. He even wanted his wife to wear cheongsam and stockings to accompany him on a trip to the Republic of China.

, but Sun Jing’s scolding woke Zhao Fuxiang out of his dream of the Republic of China.

Zhao Fuxiang also knew that there was a huge gap between him and Qin Lan, and he probably had no hope in this life, but he didn't expect that God would give him a perfect opportunity to travel to the Ming Dynasty and meet Qin Lan's mother Wu. This kind of

How could Zhao Fuxiang not seize the opportunity?

The power of money is huge. Soon Mother Wu came over and walked into the house, sat opposite Zhao Fuxiang and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, Master Li knows that the slave family does not accompany guests, but since Master Zhao is willing to pay a big price today, then the slave family will
