Chapter 542 Settlement
Under normal circumstances, Hua Hong would stay in the previous pawnshop called Chang'an to handle official business, but recently he has been staying at the Tian'an General Assembly.
At the banquet, the senior officials of the Prime Minister's Office and staff from all walks of life formulated the development policy for the next three years. As the president of Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, Hua Hong needs this old man to meet with people from all parties these days to coordinate the industry and implement the development plans that have been set. Policy implementation.
Therefore, after taking Xiaobai to the 19th floor, Xu Yuan did not go to Hua Hong directly, but first went to the waiting room nearby.
Through the induction of the array arranged by the Tianan Association, Hua Hong is currently meeting with several big shopkeepers at the state level. It seems that they are arranging work, so it is best not to disturb them.
The soul key opens the way, and there is no obstacle all the way.
Although the old man Hua Hong is very picky, all the materials used in Tianan Association are luxurious and luxurious.
The waiting room is more than ten feet square, and its interior furnishings, including pavilions, stools, pavilions, and soft couches and tea tables, are all made of golden wood wood, whose texture and color are all of the finest quality.
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Yuan casually found a soft couch to lie on his side to rest. Bai Muxi followed Xu Yuan, but did not sit down, but knelt down at Xu Yuan's feet. She raised her jade hands slightly and gently took off his shoes. .
Noticing the touch at his feet, Xu Yuan looked at Xiaobai, who was kneeling in a seductive posture, with some surprise.
He knew Lou Ji’s attitude towards Xiao Bai very well, so he thought Xiao Bai would take this opportunity to show off his tea skills.
Many noble people like to place one in the reception room of their home, where they can chill some citron fruits and vegetables and drink sweet tea to entertain their guests.
In the past, in front of Xu Yuan, the old man had always looked like a shameless miser, without any of the aura of President Tianan.
Although this attitude was forcibly suppressed by Xu Yinhe, the emotion was definitely still there.
However, the moment he saw Xu Yuan bring him here, Hua Hong roughly sorted out the cause and effect in his mind, and walked slowly towards the soft couch, with a serious look on his face, his gestures, and an invisible aura of superiority exuding from his facial expressions, words, and deeds:
The voice was a little cold and unhappy, with a sense of calmness and authority.
Have been tinkering for ten breaths, and haven’t even untied my bootlaces
There is a kind of beauty that Chu men cannot understand bra.
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.
Most of the wealthy families in Dayan had servants to take care of them, such as dressing, tying their hair, dressing and washing themselves at night and in the morning.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan waved his hand towards her:
“Forget it, don’t take it off, it will be troublesome to put it on again after taking it off for a while.”
He wanted to refuse, but after the thought flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan still half-closed his eyes and acquiesced.
Bai Muxi blinked and carefully looked at the man's expression in front of her. Seeing that he didn't mean to be angry, she said softly:
Only ten breaths later, Xu Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the boots that were still firmly on his feet for a few breaths, and couldn't help but feel a sense of humor in his heart.
In the young master's life, she appeared too late, and people's hearts are so big that they can only hold a few people.
Because, the other party really wanted to kill her.
She returned to the soft couch and knelt down. She took out the citron fruit plate and poured a glass of purple wine. Bai Muxi wanted to feed her, but as soon as she made this move, Xu Yuan reached out and took hold of her slender body. With a hint of helplessness in his tone:
“Where did you learn this?”
The purple veil swayed in the wind, and Bai Muxi bit the corner of her lip.
Xiao Bai's movements are actually very familiar, and he has obviously made up for his previous duties as a maid, but the problem is that Xu Yuan's boots are not ordinary objects.
Don’t ask why you don’t do it yourself. Just ask because of the “sense of ritual”. You must know that in some farm families, after the men return home, the women of the family will take care of them.
ˆ “.”
Zhen pattern freezers are not a rare item, and have become popular among ordinary wealthy people more than ten years ago.
next moment,
In order to meet the needs of combat, the cultivator's boots are extremely cumbersome in terms of materials and binding method, let alone his pair which were custom-made by Gokuyuan.
This was the first time that Xu Yuan saw Hua Hong with such an expression. He subconsciously sat up straight. He felt as nervous as when he was facing the head teacher in middle school in his previous life. Xiaobai on the side even lowered his head. .
Sharp eyes swept over Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi, and Hua Hong's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Hearing the word Lou Ji, a trace of fear clearly flashed in Bai Muxi's eyes.
With his eyes lowered, Bai Muxi responded softly:
“Why did you bring her here?”
But it seems she still knows how to behave.
Although she has been bullied, Bai Muxi is not actually afraid of the princess, nor is she afraid of the saint. The only thing she is afraid of is the young master's sister.
There was a knock on the door, and then without Xu Yuan's consent, an old man in expensive red-edged and black-bottomed clothes opened the door and walked in.
Aware of the sight, Xiaobai took his hand away and looked at Xu Yuan eagerly.
Just as he was thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the entrance of the hall.
There is no fragrance of tea.
However, the beauties beside the young master are all very strong in temperament, and the silent gentleness and delicacy that moisturizes things should be able to open a hole in the young master's heart, but now.
Although he was upset, after hearing what Xu Yuan said, Bai Muxi had no choice but to give up. With a disappointed nod, he looked swayingly to the side and took a few incense sticks from the formation freezer there.
“From the etiquette documents in the government.”
Due to the problem of the survivors of the underground palace, the attitude of the core senior officials of the prime minister's office towards Bai Muxi, the commander of the underground palace, was basically to kill him and then quickly.
However, since the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not allowed to enter, Xu Yuan has never been very accustomed to this feeling of being served, no matter in his past life or in this life.
She was a little afraid to go to Lou Ji alone.
Xu Yuan sat up from the soft couch, took the wine glass from Xiao Bai's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said:
"I knew it was like this. Just by the action you just made, the wine would spill on me, and I would be confused on paper. If you have time, go find Lou Ji and ask her to teach you."
"good"
ˆ “.”
A moment of silence,
After Xu Yuan came to his senses, he chuckled lightly, crossed his legs, and replied strangely:
“Old man, what are you doing?”
ˆ “.”
Looking into each other's eyes, never giving in.
Hua Hong stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths and sighed silently in his heart.
Sure enough, I can’t scare this guy.
“I have never understood why Xu Yinhe forcibly left those remnants of ten thousand years ago, but now it seems that it is actually because of you.”
The words were spoken very softly, but Bai Muxi couldn't help but trembled after hearing it.
These words were said to the young master, but more importantly to her. Glancing slightly at the young master beside him, Xu Yuan leaned on the soft couch, swaying his legs, and said with a chuckle:
“Is there any gain in this world without taking risks?”
“As long as they are separated, those risks can be ignored.”
ˆ “.”
"Hey, I'm talking about maximizing interests, old man, what do you think?"
“Don’t talk nonsense with me here.”
Hua Hong sat down opposite Xu Yuan, waved his hand to interrupt, stared at Xu Yuan with his old but energetic eyes, and spoke seriously:
“I am not qualified to tell you what you want to do, Changtian, but I hope that after we old men are all dead, you will be able to afford the choice you make now.”
Sure enough.
The old man saw the deal between him and Bai Muxi at a glance.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and whispered:
“You don’t have to worry about this old man at all.”
“Oh? How do you say it?”
“Because Xiaobai’s clan members may not even be ranked among the relatives.”
ˆ “.”Hua Hong
His eyelids twitched, Hua Hong opened his mouth and wanted to curse directly, but in the end he held it back, pressed his eyebrows, and said:
"It's up to you. If you have something to do this time, just tell me. I've been very busy recently, and I still have things to deal with later."
Xu Yuan followed the topic and smiled, then raised his hand and put it on Bai Muxi's boneless shoulder:
“Didn’t I just say this? Regarding her people, I need help from the Tianan Chamber of Commerce to find a resettlement place.”
“Impossible.” Hua Hong refused without even thinking.
“Old Man Hua, this is my dad”
“There’s no way your father will agree.”
“You should know that he has given me full responsibility for this matter.”
“Just because I have given you full responsibility does not mean that he will let Tianan Chamber of Commerce provide help.”
“Tsk, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the prime minister’s house and ask him.”
“I will go tonight.”
“.”Xu Yuan stopped talking.
“.” Hua Hong looked like an idiot.
He has seen too many tricks where Shanglu Economic and Trade uses poor information to package up identities with nothing, and this guy actually wants to use this trick to fool him.
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Bai Muxi sat on her knees with her eyes lowered, but her hands lying flat between her legs were tightly holding her dress.
The conversation of the young master during this trip will determine the future of her people.
Amid Bai Muxi's nervousness, Xu Yuan suddenly sighed softly.
This old man is too shrewd, and he can't fool him even by trying to pull his skin off.
I miss the first day of Qing Dynasty.
With a hint of helplessness, Xu Yuan said softly:
“Okay, let’s just do business.
“I will personally figure out how to use the money and food, but I want to borrow the name of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce. This should be okay, right?”
Hua Hong thought for a moment and nodded slightly:
"Can."
“First a settlement.”
“The cost of building a settlement city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is not a small amount of money.”
Hua Hong reminded him loudly, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He chuckled and said, "Even if you throw in all the eight million taels of silver you gave Xinyao, it won't be enough."
“This. We can figure it out ourselves.”
Bai Muxi suddenly interrupted at this moment, glanced at Hua Hong with bright eyes, and said cautiously to Xu Yuan: "Sir, we can cut down the wood and quarry the stone ourselves."
“Have you been asked to speak?”
Xu Yuan glanced at her, and Bai Muxi immediately fell silent.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan said to Hua Hong:
“Everything in the city where the survivors of the underground palace live is built according to the system of Dayan County.”
“This is quite a deal.”
Hua Hong smiled when he heard this, and raised his hand to stroke his white beard: "If we adopt the land reclamation order as our policy, we don't need to purchase land, but do you have the money to build a city, Changtian?"
If his Sumeru Ring had not been robbed by the old woman Lou Ji, various war materials worth nearly ten million taels of silver could barely replace the initial materials used to build the city, but it is definitely not enough now.
However, facing the smiling gaze of the old man, Xu Yuan took out a map from the Sumeru Ring without any haste and said softly:
"When did I say that we would build settlements through land reclamation decrees? I don't like that kind of remote countryside."
Hua Hong frowned slightly when he heard this:
“Do you want to buy land? Even if you don’t need to use the relationship between the prime minister and the government to manage it, buying land will cost a lot of money.”
"hehe."
With a low laugh, Xu Yuan slowly laid out the entire map on the tea table in front of him, tapped the previous position with his long index finger, raised his eyes, and said with a smile:
“Old Man Hua, have you forgotten that Huizhou County was destroyed before?
"This kind of land is located at the junction of two continents and at the entrance to Gyeonggi Province. It is impossible for the imperial court to give up. When I was reading the memorial in the study, the imperial court had already prepared to allocate funds for reconstruction. Although the budget allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs is not a lot of money, it is barely enough for the initial stage. .”
As he spoke, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
“Old man Hua, it shouldn’t be difficult to contract out the reconstruction project of the entire city with the size of Tianan Chamber of Commerce, right?”
