Four more days passed in a hurry, and the group finally returned to the long-lost Tingli Town and the long-lost Gu Mansion.The Gu family's parents got the news in advance and were already waiting at the door. When they saw Gu Yanchuan's safe return, their eyes began to light up, and they muttered, "Thank you for your blessing! Thank you for your blessing!"

In the evening, the Gu family held a big banquet, and even Gu Sandi, who was an apprentice, took the time to go home.

At the dinner table, everyone ate while listening to the stories of Gu Yanchuan on the road and Du Yanbo's warm hospitality.The audience uttered "hoo" and "ah" at one time, and then began to praise Du Yanbo again.

At the end of the meal, Gu Yanchuan proposed to build a material warehouse and a production site.

"How much does father collect soybeans this time? What about potatoes?" Gu Yanchuan asked

"I collected 50 shi of soybeans first, and more potatoes, a total of 60 shi."

Gu Yanchuan nodded. This amount is appropriate, and then said: "I collected 100 shi of peppers, and I may need more in the later stage. There must be a large space for storage. And it needs to be made."

Father Gu thought for a while, and asked, "Then what's the point of consideration? The land in the town is expensive, so it shouldn't be."

"Of course I know that the town can't do it. So now I initially want to set it up in Jiangbian Village." Gu Yanchuan straightened up as soon as he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Gu's father and Gu's elder brother frowned, and after thinking for a while, they were still puzzled, "Why Jiangbian Village?" Gu Sandi also raised his head and stared at Gu Yanchuan, hoping that Gu Yanchuan would give him an explanation so that they could understand.

"First of all, Jiangbian Village is not far from Tingli Town, and you can go back and forth in a day. Secondly, there is a water terminal near Jiangbian Village, which is connected to the sea. Whether it is the import of raw materials or the export of products in the future, it is extremely difficult. It is convenient. Finally, we need to recruit labor to make sauces. There are more dock laborers and lower prices, which are very beneficial to us.”

"Shiro has far-sightedness. It's because I'm getting old." Father Gu laughed out loud after hearing this, and was very satisfied with his son's thoughts, "Then you can repair it for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Jiangbian Village to inspect it .I am familiar with the village chief, so it is easy to talk about it.”

"So good."

At noon the day after tomorrow, Gu Sandi went back to the restaurant, and the other three men from the Gu family drove to Jiangbian Village.

Jiangbian Village, as its name suggests, is beside a river.Because there is a wharf not far away, people come and go, goods come in and out, and there is an endless stream, which is much more prosperous than ordinary villages.

Carrying some gifts, the three of them were led by Gu's father to the home of the village head of Jiangbian Village, He Village.

"Is Village Chief He at home?" Father Gu stood in front of a Qingwa compound and called the door.

The child who came out came out, "Who are you? Are you looking for my grandpa?"

"Exactly!"

Before he finished speaking, the child turned around and ran back to the house, shouting as he ran, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you." It was very cute.

Afterwards, a dark-skinned old man with his hands behind his back invited the three of them into the main room.

After receiving the gift, Village Chief He's old woman served tea to the three of the Gu family with a smile on her face. Village Chief He sipped the teacup, put it down, and asked, "I don't know what is the purpose of Gu Xingshang's visit?"

"We came here to ask if there are any vacant houses in the village?"

"As far as I know, you live in the town, what do you need the empty house in our village for?"

"We want to be a warehouse and store some goods."

"The homesteads in our village are generally not given to outsiders. Please forgive me, Gu Xingshang."

Seeing that this matter was about to fall apart, Gu Yanchuan hurriedly stood up.

It turned out that Gu Yanchuan had conducted research on Jiangbian Village the day before he came to Jiangbian Village.From other people's mouths and local geography, Gu Yanchuan discovered that there is a wasteland at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain, which is some distance away from Jiangbian Village. The soil is mainly sand and gravel, which is not easy to cultivate.

In addition, because Jiangbian Village is close to the pier, the villagers would choose to go to the pier to do some small business or do some labor in their spare time, so that they can make money faster, so that piece of wasteland has been neglected.So for the current Gu Yanchuan, this is the best choice.

After the investigation, Gu Yanchuan stood up from his seat and cupped his hands at Village Chief He, "Can the village chief allow me to say a few words?"

Village Chief He took a look at Gu Yanchuan, and he was indeed very generous, so he nodded and agreed.

Gu Yanchuan then asked: "I wonder if the wasteland under Xiaozhu Mountain in the village is of any use?"

"There is no other use for now."

"As far as I know, that land is too remote to be used as a homestead, and it is not safe because it is close to the mountains; it is too barren to be cultivated. I want to buy it for a warehouse and a sauce making workshop."

Village head He touched the rim of the teacup, bowed his head and pondered for a while, "If it's that wasteland, it's not impossible. But can you give our village any benefits?"

The three of Gu Yanchuan and his colleagues looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, everyone knew that it was Village Chief He who gave it away, revealing that there should be something interesting in this business.

Seeing that the time had come, Gu Yanchuan repeated the draft in his heart, and said calmly: "Of course silver is necessary. I also know that there are ancestral halls and schools in the village that need to be repaired. We can help in this regard." .As for the start of the workshop, the villagers of the village can also be given priority.”

"It seems that Mr. Gu knows our village very well. Allow me to add another request." Village head He wiped his eyes, and said in a slow tone: "I also know that Mr. Gu was a man of great learning. But now our village is still short of a teacher. As a result, if the children in the village want to go to school, they need to go to the town. Because of this reason, many children have reached the right age and have not yet read and written. I feel ashamed of the village. Ah! If you can introduce a gentleman, you and our village will be benefactors." After speaking, he bowed to Gu Yanchuan.

Gu Yanchuan quickly helped He Village up, "The village is righteous. It is the blessing of Jiangbian Village. Even if this matter is not for this land, as a scholar, you should lend a helping hand."

"Then there will be Mr. Gu. The old man will definitely tell the whole village about Mr. Gu, and there will be no major problems. Please rest assured Mr. Gu."

"Then there is Village Chief Laohe."

Helping the village find a suitable teacher is a good thing. If it can not only solve the problem of children in the local village studying, but also solve the problem of the venue for the new business, it will kill two birds with one stone. It would be great.Gu Yanchuan secretly thought in his heart.

In the next few days, Gu's soldiers were divided into three groups, and Brother Gu continued to handle the hairpin business.Father Gu and Village Chief He went to sign a sales contract and set about building a simple warehouse and workshop.Gu Yanchuan, on the other hand, was looking for a teacher who could be employed.

Under Sun Shanzhang’s recommendation, Gu Yanchuan actually found one. It was a relative of Sun Shanzhang who didn’t know how far away. His surname was Sun. He had taken the imperial examination for most of his life, but he never passed the exam. Until now, he was only a scholar. .Gu Yanchuan met him, chatted for a few words, and found that this person was talented, but he was too rigid, coupled with bad luck, the family had long been unable to make ends meet because of his education.So now he has given up his dream of Zhongju.Now knowing that Jiangbian Village is willing to hire a husband with a high salary and provide housing, he readily agrees.

As soon as this gentleman took office, the children in the village finally did not have to be sent to study in distant towns.Therefore, people in the village are very grateful for Gu Yanchuan's kindness, so when he built the house, the villagers came to help him one after another.However, after half a month, the warehouse, workshop, drying area, etc. were actually built according to the blueprints of Yanchuan.
