Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 810 Salt Field Bidding

Gu Zhu snorted, and muttered: "Uncanny skills, but that's all..."

The official glanced at Gu Zhu, didn't accuse him of offending Fang Jun, but just turned his head away, and never said a word again, his expression became cold, and he didn't see the enthusiasm just now...

Gu Yu frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Stop talking nonsense! What is a trick? It's a secret thing in the boudoir to please men and women. But this kind of rock-solid cement can greatly improve the efficiency of building a house." If the speed and firmness are really not afraid of the erosion of the river, the dam built with it can protect the river for a hundred years without collapsing, and can withstand the impact of a huge flood. Do you know what kind of merit this is? Fang Jun’s achievements can look down on the present, catch up with the sages, and leave a legacy for future generations! How can you be so disrespectful?”

Gu Zhu was upset in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue, so he could only say in a muffled voice with drooping eyebrows: "What the elder brother said is true, the younger brother has been taught..."

I don't think so in my heart.

What's the use of making this thing if the dignified chief executive doesn't do business?Fang Jun's son is really a stick, he has neither the talents of the world nor the bravery of all men, what's the use of tinkering with these weird things?

Seeing his expression, Gu Yu could only shake his head secretly, not wanting to say more.

The entire Shibo Division is like a super-large-scale market, covering an extremely wide area, full of well-planned venues, tall and sturdy warehouses and houses distributed in every area, compared with the usual market in the past It is more neat and rigorous.

Gu Yu watched all the way, guessing the usefulness of various building facilities, and felt that Fang Jun was really not simple.Once this city shipping department starts to operate, not only the goods from south to north will gather here, and they will be sold by category, but also overseas merchant ships will directly transport goods here and unload them into warehouses, so there is no need to rush to sell them and be maliciously lowered by local merchants. , must be very popular with foreign businessmen.

Merchants from all over the world plant their goods here, each takes what they need, and with the strong force of Huating Town, no one dares to buy and sell maliciously and fraudulently. It is conceivable that once it is in operation, those wandering merchants who have been oppressed by the family will inevitably gather. , hoping to get Fang Jun's asylum.

However, for the aristocratic family, it was nothing less than a disaster...

A huge house appeared in front of it, which attracted Gu Yu's attention.

It is completely different from the architectural style of flying eaves, bucket arches, carved beams and painted paintings. It is a big square house. The only feature is probably the tall and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows with bright glass...

The square in front of the house is carefully paved with bluestone strips, which is a bit more elegant and solemn than the smooth cement road. At this time, there are still many carriages parked, presumably from aristocratic families or merchants who came from Suzhou. .

Gu Yu didn't take it seriously. Kunshan County in Suzhou is close to Huating Town, only a few miles away, but there is a mighty Wusong River in between. These carriages must be ferryed across the river by ferry.

The foundation of this big house is very high, and you have to wait for seven or eight steps to enter. Under the leadership of the official, the Gu brothers were just about to climb the steps when a greeting came from the side.

"Hey, isn't this Gu Dalang? Hehe, long time no see. Nice to meet you."

Gu Yu stopped his steps and looked back, not only his brows were slightly frowned.

A young man in his 20s was stepping off a gorgeous carriage, cupping his hands and smiling at himself.It's just that that smile looks so hypocritical and annoying...

The young man's face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows were drawn into his temples, and he was wearing a white silk shirt with intricate and magnificent Suzhou embroidery patterns on it, which was extremely gorgeous.This person looked handsome and handsome, but he didn't know whether it was because of the powder on his face or the fragrance of his clothes. Gu Yu felt a strong fragrance blowing towards his face when he was about ten steps away, making him want to be intoxicated.

Gu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, cupped his fists in return and said, "So it's Brother Zhang. It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I heard that Brother Zhang is in love with Miss Haitang, a famous prostitute in Suzhou.

Hearing that, brother Zhang's beautiful and fair face immediately flushed red, and he waited viciously for Gu Yu, who had a gentle smile on his face, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Don't act like this! Back to Miss Haitang's piano skills, and it's not about sharing the same bed first, what is there to be proud of?"

Gu Yu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Naturally, it is different. Miss Haitang is as bright as the moon, and she is born with beauty. Looking at her from a distance and rubbing against her temples, how can it be the same? It's just that I didn't know that brother Zhang was in love with Miss Begonia at that time. After drinking alcohol, I lost my composure for a while, so I am so abrupt and beautiful, please don't blame Brother Zhang."

Brother Zhang was so angry that his "face was bright red", and the veins on his forehead burst out!
This Gu Yu is really insidious. Knowing that he is infatuated with Haitang girl and wants to redeem her and marry her back home, he deliberately gets close to Haitang to hurt his reputation, but he still has to make such a hypocritical face, he is really a hypocrite!
He was very angry, and said loudly: "Don't pretend to be here, wait until you can really become the guest of Haitang girl, and then come to show off in front of Zhang! Humph, but everyone in Jiangnan knows that Gu Jia Dalang is a veritable hypocrite , unless that Haitang is blind to see you!"

Gu Zhu, who was silent all this time, glared at Brother Zhang, and said in a low voice, "Zhang Wuyou, if you speak out again, do you believe that your third master will crush you to death?"

He glared fiercely at Brother Zhang with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he would rush forward and punch him if he disagreed with him.

Brother Zhang's momentum suddenly weakened...

Gu Zhu's fierce reputation is known to everyone in the south of the Yangtze River.

This person is skilled in bowing horses, as strong as an ox, has a violent temperament and is ruthless, and the Gu family in Kuaiji is powerful, which is quite dreadful.

Brother Zhang was a little guilty, and said sternly: "This is Huating Town, the territory of the Fangda Chief. You are domineering in Wuyuan Town, do you still dare to act recklessly here? You wait for me, I will make you look good sooner or later! "

Putting down a harsh word, Brother Zhang hurriedly led the servants up the steps and entered the big house.

Gu Zhu laughed at his elder brother, and said with disdain: "This Wangzhang Wuyou is just an embroidered pillow, and my elder brother is as famous as him, it is really a gem and dusty, and it is very wrong."

Gu Yu said with a sneer: "The four great masters of the tree, such false names are of no benefit, so don't worry about it!"

After saying that, he and Gu Zhu went up the steps and walked into the big house under the guidance of the officials.

At this time, the big house was already full of people.

As the grandson of Gu's parents and the next generation of the Patriarch of the Gu family, the arrival of Gu Yu immediately caused a commotion. Many figures from the gentry, as well as some small families and merchants who could talk about it, stood up to salute and exchange a few pleasantries.

With a smile on his face, Gu Yu returned the gifts one by one. He never looked down on anyone because of his family background and social status. From the beginning to the end, he exchanged polite greetings.

It took a long time for Gu Yu to walk to the seat in the front row, salute the crowd around him, and then sit down.

Seeing the prestige of his eldest brother, Gu Zhu not only didn't feel jealous, but felt honored, his chin was raised high, and Gu Pan was proud.

Gu Yu rubbed his cheeks that were stiff with laughter, and looked around at the surrounding layout.

The inside of this big house is spacious and bright, with a huge space of more than ten feet square, without a single wall, without a single pillar for load bearing, the roof and walls are covered with white ash, neat and bright.The three wide beams on the roof supported the huge space. Gu Yu wondered if there was another mystery behind the beams. Otherwise, how could it bear the weight of such a large-span roof without collapsing?
There are hundreds of seats neatly arranged horizontally and vertically in the house.

This kind of seats are all wooden chairs, but they are fixed by rows, so as not to cause confusion due to individuals moving back and forth.It is indeed a bit crude, but it is very practical in such a crowded occasion.

There is a narrow table in front of each row of seats, made of wood, and a hollow table underneath, where some sundries can be placed.

All the seats are of one specification, there is no distinction between good and bad, only the order of the front and back can reflect the status of the participants.Jiangnan nobles like the Gu family naturally occupy the front and middle positions, and most of the rest are allocated according to their family background. There is a nameplate on the table in front of each seat, with the name of their hometown and surname written on it, just take a seat according to the number.This kind of arrangement makes the house neat and orderly despite the many guests, which is very interesting...

Gu Yu felt that someone was watching him, turned his head, and saw the Wang Zhang Wuyou sitting on the left side, glaring at him.

Gu Yu was not annoyed, he smiled slightly, and nodded kindly to Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang snorted angrily, turned his head away, and turned a blind eye to Gu Yu's greeting.

Gu Yu didn't care, but Gu Zhu beside him had a gloomy expression, his eyes were staring at Zhang Wang's profile with a fierce look...
