Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 32
Jin Yu didn't forget about Yang Ying, so he gave her a piece of fish back for both dishes, and set aside two more for Chen Rui to accompany his father-in-law and guards from the palace.

"This is the first time this old man has eaten such a delicious fish. It seems that he has spent most of his life in vain." Fang Xuanling praised directly after tasting it.

"Pindao also tasted Guitang's handicrafts before he knew that there is such a delicious food in the world, so he has the cheek to beg for food." Yuan Tiangang responded.

"Boy, I don't know if you are coming. Otherwise, there are only two dishes, so I have to make more. Next time, boy, prepare well and let the seniors feast." As a chef, some people like their own dishes. Of course he is very happy, even though Jinyu is just a part-time cook.

"A poor man can't eat for free. Go to Guitang's land and have a look, and show you Fengshui." Lao Yuan said.

"Alright, the old man takes a rest in the afternoon and goes to see Guitang's thatched field, hehe." Fang Xuanling didn't have the slightest awareness of revealing his faults.

"Hehe, it's indeed a piece of thatched grass." Lao Yuan saw it before, and loaded Fang Xuanling with a smile.

A group of people came to Jin Yu's territory mightily.

"What Fang Xiang and Yuan Daoyou said is true, it really is a thatched field!" Sun Simiao praised others, but why did it sound so awkward to Jin Yu?

"Your Majesty heard that Gui Tang bought a piece of thatched grass land. He was afraid that you would be hungry, so he rewarded you with thirty pieces of fertile land. Did you see the farmer opposite? After the farmer took over the land, it will belong to you Tang." It's over. It's really gratifying and congratulatory." Fang Xuanling pointed out the location of the rewarded land to Jin Yu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Mr. Fang." Jin Yu thanked him, but he was thinking in his heart: Thirty Qing, is he a landlord from today?

"This place is not a fertile land. It grows grain but does not produce grain. The trees grow luxuriantly, so it is livable and rich in wealth." After Lao Yuan came, he climbed up again, looked at the soil, and finally came to such a conclusion.

"Such a large piece of land, it is indeed necessary to build some yards. Since Daoist Yuan said so, it is definitely not wrong to build a mansion here." Fang Xuanling replied.It can be seen that in that dynasty, even the prime minister (similar to the prime minister of the current monarchy, right?) was not immune.

"The boy is alone, with no relatives and no friends. I have never thought about such a huge project." Jin Yu's words hinted at rejection.

"Guitang doesn't have to worry about this. Pindao has a friend who is good at building. Thanks to the design, Pindao can invite him to help Guitang." Li Chunfeng said.

"Thank you, Daoist Li!" Jin Yu thanked him. This thanks is sincere, and sincere help is always touching.

"The problem of manpower to build the house, let the old man help Gui Tang to solve it." Fang Xuanling said from the side.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang! Don't worry, I won't owe you a penny of the wages you should give." Jin Yu bowed to Fang Xuanling again.

"Of course, now is the season of spring plowing, there is a shortage of manpower, and the wages will be more expensive. You will not come back if you pay less, ha ha." Fang Xuanling explained the matter to Jin Yu with a smile.

"Let's talk first, and I will invite my friends first. I will have dinner at Guitang's mansion tonight. I will show off my skills after a while in Guitang. Haha, let me go." Fly away.

"It seems that Pindao can't help Gui Tang, hehe. Pindao plans to set off for Shu in the near future to find the medicine that Gui Tang said." Sun Simiao said.

"Shu land? It's very dangerous. The Taoist priest should not go there." Jin Yu was a little worried. After all, there would be wild beasts haunting him. What if an old man had an accident?I blame myself for talking too fast, telling the medicinal use and origin of Panax notoginseng.

"Poverty is also a kung fu, not a weak scholar. Don't worry about returning to Tang Dynasty." Sun Simiao is full of confidence.

"When I go back later, I will give you a few things. They are all used by the boy. They are necessary tools for going out." Jin Yu thought of the tents and other things he used for camping.

"You don't get rewarded for no merit, thank you Guitang for your kindness." Sun Simiao refused to accept favors for no reason.

"It's not useless, the boy still has something to get rid of Daoist Sun." Jin Yu suddenly remembered a news that later generations read, and immediately had an idea.

"Oh? Why do you need the help of the poor?" Sun Simiao was a little puzzled. Li Chunfeng, the person who designed the house, went to look for it, and Xuanling, the laborer who built the house, went to look for it. Could it be possible to borrow money from me?There is no such thing as a poor way of borrowing money, why not call it a "poor" way?
"My boy knows that there is a kind of wild fruit in Sichuan. When it is immature, it is green, hard, and tastes astringent; when it is ripe, it is red, soft, and tastes sour and sweet. If the Taoist priest encounters it, please ask the Taoist priest to bring some seeds to the boy." Jin Jin Yu was talking about tomatoes in ancient China. (Don’t think that tomatoes were introduced from the West in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they existed in China a long time ago. The seeds were unearthed near Chengdu in 1983, and they germinated miraculously. The tomatoes they grew were just bigger than the current ones. It should be small. Interested book lovers can take a look at it.)
"Okay, it's not difficult." Sun Simiao nodded in agreement.

That night, Li Chunfeng brought his good friend to Jin Yu's house in Changlefang. After introducing Jin Yu, he found out that this guy is also a master——Yan Lide!This is a great god who built palaces and palaces for the Sui and Tang dynasties!Jinyu was very excited.

"How many houses do Guitang want to build?" Yan Lide was still full of wine and food, but he still hadn't forgotten his job.

"It doesn't need to be very big, there is no one in the boy's house, and this three-year-old boy thinks it is too big." Jin Yu replied truthfully.

"Too young, it doesn't match the title of Guitang." Yan Lide shook his head and denied Jin Yu's idea.

"Ah? The imperial court also has regulations on what kind of house to live in?" Jin Yu was a little surprised.

"The main house has a tacit rule, it's better to be bigger. Before coming, the master told the poor Taoist that the mansion in Guitang must be bigger and bigger. The bigger the more prosperous, the master didn't say the reason. I think it's inconvenient for the old man to say it. .” Li Chunfeng explained to Jin Yu.

"Then it's better for Guitang to listen to the old god." Yan Lide immediately affirmed what Yuan Tiangang said, "I brought some pictures of the mansions of the fifth-rank officials, and Guitang has a look to see if it suits you." Yan Lide said. Take out a picture from the box that has been prepared earlier.

"Isn't this too big?" Jin Yu hurriedly held the lamp and said after looking at it.

"It's not big. The old god said that when it gets bigger, Guitang can build a fifth-grade house first, and when the grade is higher, it can be expanded." Yan Lide has a sustainable development idea.

"How much money will it cost?" Jin Yu couldn't help worrying about his wallet.

"A thousand strings." Yan Lide said.

"So much?" Jin Yu was a little surprised.

"That's not counting labor wages and food." Yan Lide continued.

"Halo, the landlord's house has no food left." Jin Yu thought to himself.

"Returning to Tang, but the money is not enough? Poor Dao still has some savings, which can be used by returning to Tang." Of course Li Chunfeng knew Jin Yu's future, and he looked like he was hugging his thigh, wishing that Jin Yu could speak.

"Don't bother Li Daochang, the boy has money, but it's just a little painful, hehe." Of course Jin Yu doesn't have so much cash, but there are things in the bag that this dynasty doesn't have. Two plastic stocks can sell for 450 guan. more valuable.
