Chapter 53
A county house.

Nie Huiyang pushed open the door and walked into the yard, with a solemn expression on his face, "Boss, if you can't get any more jobs, our "Chaoyang Building" will be disbanded."

An Shanwu's face was full of sorrow, "The "Rising Sun Construction" is pressing step by step. Every time we receive a job, they will take it away at a lower price. I have nothing to do now."

Nie Huiyang patted the back of his palm, "Boss, you can't just sit still."

An Shanwu looked at Nie Huiyang, "Then what can you do?"

Nie Huiyang avoided his eyes and said without any confidence, "If only I knew."

The two sighed in unison, sinking into sorrow together.

Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from outside the door, "Brother Shanwu, Brother Huiyang, are you there?"

The two looked up at the door together, and then An Shanwu got up and walked towards the door happily.

When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Sister Ruyue?"

Shen Ruyue smiled and said, "Brother Shanwu, I'm afraid you're not at home."

An Shanwu glanced at the third sister and brother Chu Qingzhi behind Shen Ruyue, and said enthusiastically, "Come in, come in quickly."

The four entered the courtyard.

After seeing Shen Ruyue, Nie Huiyang hurriedly went to the room to get tea.

In the yard, there is a set of tables and chairs made of wood with carvings on them. The overall brown color is very unique. An Shanwu greeted the four people to sit down.

Chu Qingzhi and Shen Ruyue sat, and the two little ones stood behind Chu Qingzhi.

Nie Huiyang brought the tea to the table and said enthusiastically, "Sister Ruyue, girl, please drink tea."

An Shanwu asked with concern, "Sister Ruyue, you..."

Shen Ruyue knew what An Shanwu was going to ask, and said with a smile, "The girl next to me is called Chu Qingzhi. She rescued me from the prison, and the two younger ones are Qingzhi's younger brothers."

When Nie Huiyang heard this, he hurriedly went to the house and took two apples for Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, "Brother eat."

With the approval of Chu Qingzhi, the two little teenagers took the apple in their hands, "Thank you, uncle."

Nie Huiyang let out a big white tooth with a smile, "What a polite child."

Shen Ruyue secretly said, just now Chu Qingzhi has been educating two children on the road, this change is too fast, from a wild child to a polite child.

……

An Shanwu, Nie Huiyang, and Shen Ruyue are orphans who grew up together.

An Shanwu learned how to build a house from others when he was 12 years old. He was more flexible. At the age of 20, he came out to work alone and formed the construction team Chaoyang Jianfang.

Nie Huiyang went to be a servant for the family, and when he learned that An Shanwu needed manpower, he came to help him.

Shen Ruyue has a sweet appearance and went to a big family to be a maid. With her clever brain, she secretly read and read, and she rose all the way to become the madam's personal maid, but she didn't follow a good master.

The three talked about the old days, and then began to talk about business.

Shen Ruyue unfolded the blueprint of the small house and handed it to An Shanwu, "Brother Shanwu, Qing Zhi wants to build such a house, take a look."

An Shanwu took over the drawing and looked at it carefully.

A few minutes later, he said, "No problem, but it will take a little longer, and it will take at least 200 taels to build this house."

Chu Qingzhi observed An Shanwu secretly. This person's eyes are straight, which means that he is not a treacherous person, and his temperament is calm, which means that he is not someone who likes to boast, "My budget is 1000 taels of silver."

An Shanwu couldn't help but look sideways. The girl in front of her was dressed as a peasant girl, and she said that she spent 1000 taels to build a house. Was she joking with him?

An Shanwu said kindly, "Girl, may I say one more thing, what you just said was 1000 taels, not 100 taels."

It's 100 taels, and ordinary farmers can't get it out for a lifetime.

Shen Ruyue laughed and reminded sideways, "Brother Shanwu, don't judge people by their appearance."

An Shanwu quickly explained, "I didn't mean to underestimate the girl, I just said that 1000 taels is too much..."

Shen Ruyue secretly thought, Qingzhi's family now earns more than 100 taels of silver a day, and 1000 taels only takes a few days, and Qingzhi is about to start another business, so it will definitely make a lot of money.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I can get it, it's just the materials for your house..."

An Shanwu understood what Chu Qingzhi meant, "Some of the materials for building the house were purchased by us, and some were obtained locally. With the girl's budget, we will definitely use the best materials."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Since that's the case, then you all come to see the site tomorrow and prepare for construction."

An Shanwu was overjoyed, "Okay."

After discussing some details and finalizing some things, Chu Qingzhi took a few people to leave.

……

County government.

The county town has been very calm recently, and there are some small fights, so the county magistrate is very leisurely.

The master was also very busy. He walked into the inner hall and said, "Sir, Chu Qingzhi has come to buy land."

The county magistrate's hand holding the tea paused, "Just that smart girl with the ability to catch her?"

Master nodded, "Yes."

The county magistrate raised his face and thought for a while, "Where is she going to buy the land?"

The master said, "As far as the wasteland in their village, Chujia Village is a big village, but many people have developed and come to the county seat, and some have gone to the capital, and they are empty."

The county magistrate pondered for a moment, "How big is the whole wasteland?"

The master replied, "It's two acres in size, and behind that wasteland is a hill." (One acre of land is roughly equivalent to 1.5 basketball courts)

The county magistrate waved his hand, "Give it all to her. If you want to use this girl someday, we will invite someone, and she will not refuse."

The county magistrate is a confused official, but his vision of seeing people has always been accurate.

The master replied, "The villain will do it right away."

Chu Qingzhi came out of the county office holding two land deeds, one for the wasteland and the other for the hill behind the wasteland.

Shen Ruyue asked in puzzlement, "Qingzhi, if you buy wasteland now, do you still give away the barren hills next to it?"

Chu Qingzhi didn't know much about the ancient land system, so he couldn't answer this question, "Don't worry about it, it's all given anyway, don't give it up for nothing."

Shen Ruyue nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

"Come on, let's go to the market."

Today, Chu Qingzhi wants to invite Tang Jinghong to dinner, and she plans to do it herself, thanking Tang Jinghong for his help.

The general was very busy, so he deliberately took time out to support her, and she accepted it.

……

Beijing suburban camp.

In the tent, Tang Jinghong was at his desk to handle official business, and he has been dealing with it all morning.

The soldier said at the door, "General, it's noon."

Tang Jinghong was very busy these two days, so Xiaobing reminded him to go to Chu Qingzhi's house for dinner at noon.

He was particularly curious about what Zhi Zhi would do for him.

After hearing Xiao Bing's voice, he put down his pen, moved his body, got up and walked outside the tent.

After holding one hand, he walked lightly and looked happy.

The soldiers passing by couldn't help but look at their generals, what's so good about this?The general, who had always been expressionless, looked very happy.

Curious one by one.
