In the years of ancient traders

The Song Erlang in Song Shu's impression is already very vague, and he only vaguely feels that the person in front of him looks a bit like him, and Anan has never seen him before.

Sanniang walked up a few steps and called his name.

The man holding the child was really stunned.

"Third Niang?" He hesitated.Linzhou is thousands of miles away from his hometown, how could his family appear here?

Sanniang's tears fell immediately, and Song Shu and the others didn't hear what they said to Erlang.

Many workers saw Sanniang crying, and then in front of her husband, she hugged another man who was holding a child.The man also hugged her back, and both of them started crying.

Although the construction site is full of soldiers from Song Anan's battalion, the construction site is not secret, and everyone who comes and goes can see what happened here.The Song family was well-known in Linzhou City, and passers-by had already stopped to watch and point their fingers.

Song Shu hurriedly asked someone to get a carriage, and took the whole family back to the Song residence.

Yan Zhuo originally planned to stay on the construction site, so it can be seen that Sanniang was agitated and worried and followed.

The housekeeper of Song's residence arranged the room for San Niang, but unexpectedly, after the carriage stopped, five adults and one child came down.

The man holding the little girl was very unfamiliar, and the little girl had never seen it before.

The butler went up to meet him: "Boss, you are back, and the room for Miss San has been arranged."

Song Shu nodded, and said to Song Erlang, "Brother, you and Jiaojiao should stay here too."

On the carriage just now, Song Erlang had already introduced his adopted daughter, Jiaojiao.

The little girl was very well-behaved and sensible at first glance, Erlang asked her to call someone, and she called over one by one, then hugged Erlang's neck, and quietly looked at these relatives who appeared suddenly.

"Jiaojiao, can we stay here for two days?" Song Erlang asked the girl in his arms.

Jiaojiao rubbed her forehead against his shoulder, she seemed a little sleepy, she said in a daze, "Yeah, will you come too?"

"Yeah?" Sanniang kept close, and repeated it curiously.

Song Erlang adopted this girl, shouldn't it be her?

"Yes, can Jiaojiao sleep for a while?" Song Erlang coaxed in a low voice.

Song Shu asked the housekeeper to take Song Erlang to the room prepared for Sanniang, and let the child sleep first.He took other people to the flower hall. Song Erlang had been missing for many years. Sanniang and the others had even guessed that he was not alive, but they didn't expect to appear suddenly and have an extra daughter.

He must have been through a lot over the years.

Not long after, Song Erlang, who had coaxed Jiaojiao to sleep, entered the flower hall.

A maid served tea and snacks, he took a sip of tea, everyone in the hall looked at him, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother, how have you been these years?" Song Shu asked.

They haven't seen each other for so many years, and they are not familiar with each other. Song Shu is not the original owner. The impression of Song Erlang is all from the original owner's few memories. At this time, it is most appropriate to greet each other.

Song Erlang really relaxed, with a smile on his face: "It's not bad, especially after having Jiaojiao."

Sanniang: "Brother, did you leave the army a long time ago?"

She always thought that the second elder brother was unlucky and had no chance to leave with the army, so she never went home.But now it seems that he should have left the team very early.

Speaking of the past, Song Erlang put down his teacup.

Unlike Song Dalang, he joined the army voluntarily.I thought I could earn military merits and come back, so that Widow Song and her siblings could live a good life, but unfortunately, she was hit by an arrow during a siege battle.

"...At that time, I was dying. It was Ah Sheng who dug me out of the dead and brought me back to life." Song Erlang said.

He left the army after that, but if people found out about returning home rashly, he would be suspected of being a deserter after cheating his death, so he never returned to Xianghe Village.

"...Later, I have been practicing medicine with Ah Sheng, because I came to Jianghuai and went to a remote place. I don't know the situation in the north. I just think it's still fighting." Song Erlang said, a little choked up, "A few days ago I just heard that Auntie has gone."

Sanniang and the others also fell silent. Widow Song passed away for many years, and they didn't have much grief, but for Song Erlang, it was a new funeral.

"...I was going to take Jiaojiao to worship, but I didn't have much money, so I did some temporary work along the way." Song Erlang said, "Fortunately, otherwise, it might be difficult to see you again."

"Where is the Ah Sheng you mentioned now?" Song Shu asked.

According to Song Erlang, the so-called Ah Sheng has superb medical skills and has the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Song Shu remembered that Yin Sheng once said that his wife's surname was Song.This idea is a bit absurd, but since Song Anan is, it is not surprising that his brother has this tendency.

"He." Song Erlang curled his lips, "Who knows if he is still reading his ancient medical books in the mountains."

"Yin Sheng?" Song Anan said.

Song Erlang was taken aback for a moment, he and Song Anan met for the first time, Song Anan had been silent before, but suddenly he said something, but it hit the point.

"How do you know Ah Sheng's name?"

Even he didn't know Ah Sheng's real name before.

More than half a month ago, he and Ah Sheng took Jiaojiao to rest in a Taoist temple in a mountain. There were many lonely copies of medical books hidden in the library of the Taoist temple. Yin Sheng was fascinated and left him and his daughter behind.

Song Erlang was already angry, but unfortunately he opened the letter to Yin Sheng by mistake. The letter should have been written by one of his confidantes, and there was something about their Song family in it.

That was the time when he knew that Widow Song was no longer in the personnel affairs, and his Ah Sheng, whose full name was Yin Sheng, was the second son of the Jiedu Envoy of the Yicheng Army.

Song Erlang went to find Yin Sheng, who was still obsessed with medical books.

In a fit of anger, he took Jiaojiao and left, planning to go north for the funeral.

They have been practicing medicine to solve food and clothing problems all these years, and they have little money left.So along the way, he also practiced medicine from time to time, or did temporary work.

"That's his elder brother." Song Shu said.

On the carriage just now, he only introduced Anan's pseudonym in the Song family, but did not mention his real name.Now that we know that Song Erlang and Yin Sheng have a great relationship, there is no need to hide it.

Song Shu said again: "His real name is Yin Min."

Song Erlang's eyes widened, let alone, upon closer inspection, he was indeed somewhat similar to Yin Sheng.

Song Erlang: "You mean, after I left, Yin Jiedushi's youngest son went to our family and did farm work for our family for several years?" Sanniang told him about the relationship between Song Anan and the Song family just now. , recalling it now, it is really scary to be connected with Song Anan's identity.

There are three sons in the Yin family, the second son has been with him for many years, and the third son went to his house again.

Song Erlang glanced at Song Shu, his intuition was always accurate, there seemed to be something between that kid and his fourth brother.

If Yin Rong found out, would he demolish the Song family?

"The Yeye that Jiaojiao said is Second Brother Yin." Song Shu said, "He was still in Linzhou a few days ago, and he should have gone north to find you now."

He seemed to remember that Yin Sheng had nagged about looking for his wife, but who knew that the wife he was talking about was actually his second elder brother.

"Aye."

Before Song Erlang could speak, Jiaojiao ran in barefoot. She struggled over the threshold with two tears in her eyes.

Song Erlang immediately went over and hugged her: "Why are you up? Next time, remember to put on your shoes, you know?"

"Woooooo..." Jiaojiao grabbed his lapel and buried her face in his arms, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The little girl cried very sadly.

"She's probably having a nightmare. I'll take her home first." Song Erlang said, Jiaojiao is only a little over three years old, and sometimes it's hard to distinguish between dreams and reality.Recently, she has been looking for Yeye, and she may have been worried all the time, so she had nightmares.

"En." Song Shu nodded, "Brother also rest for a while."

Song Erlang nodded, greeted Song Anan, Yan Zhuo and the others, and left with Jiaojiao in his arms.

"Master, another room has been prepared for Miss San." The housekeeper took this opportunity to come up and said.

Yan Zhuo accompanied Sanniang to their room, leaving only Song Shu and Anan sitting in the hall.

Song Shu: "The karma and chance meeting in this world is really miraculous."

Anan: "Yes."

Song Shu: "How did you guess that the Ah Sheng he was talking about belonged to your second brother?"

He turned his head, but saw that Anan looked like a peacock with its tail open, with a proud face: "I'm smart."

Song Shu: ...

How much does this kid care if people call him stupid?

Song Erlang has followed Yin Sheng for many years and has also acquired a whole body of medical skills. Song Shu asked him if he could stay and be an exclusive doctor in Songji.He lived with Jiaojiao in the Song residence, so he had someone to take care of him.

"Although I'm not as famous as Ah Sheng, I can still cure a common headache." Song Erlang said, "It's just that I want to go back and see A Niang."

Song Shu: "Jiaojiao misses Yin Sheng, Anan said he can get in touch, wait for Brother Yin to come back, you can make plans."

Song Erlang thought for a while: "That's fine."

After this matter was settled, Song Shu wanted to take him around the various Songji workshops. There were many workers in the workshops, and some of them were sick every day. expenses.

Song Erlang was not in a hurry, he took advantage of his daughter playing at Sanniang's place, and Song Anan and Yan Zhuo were not there, so he approached Song Shu and asked, "Brother, you and that Yin Min, are you...?"

Song Shu didn't expect him to be so direct, blushed, and nodded obediently.

"Tsk, the youngest of the Yin family seems to be more reliable than his brother." Song Erlang said.

He just said something casually, but Song Shu couldn't help but said: "Yes, he came to see me as soon as the battle was over. Although he rarely talked on weekdays, when he was needed, he would definitely not be vague. Thanks to him Song Shu Only by remembering can we grow bigger and bigger.”

"Fourth brother likes him very much?" Song Erlang laughed.

It was only then that Song Shu realized that he couldn't help being a showman.The neck shrank, and the face was a little hot: "It's...it's okay."

It was a coincidence that these words were heard by Song Anan.

He didn't say anything at the moment, but just called Song Shu to eat.

At night, he leaned Song Shu against the wall and blew on the base of his neck: "Do you like it? Huh?"

Song Shu couldn't take it anymore, he put his hands on the wall and shouted indiscriminately: "I like it, ah, I like it, I like it."

I don't know if the phrase like refers to someone or something.

The people sent by the Yan family to take care of San Niang soon arrived, they were two experienced nuns and three little maids.

Although the two elders of the Yan family did not approve of Yan Zhuo marrying Sanniang at first, but now that they are married and the Yan family is well-educated, they definitely can't do anything to treat their daughter-in-law harshly. No shortage.

Song Erlang became Song Ji's exclusive doctor, and Jiaojiao followed Sanniang when he had to go to the clinic during the day.

The mothers and maids from Yan's family liked this little girl very much, and they took every bite of a little lady.The three maids were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they often took her to play in the yard, so even though Song Erlang was busy, she didn't feel lonely.

With Song Erlang, Song Shu introduced a new employee benefit - all employees of Song Ji who went to Song Erlang to see a doctor would not be charged a fee.

Ordinary doctors would have to collect the consultation fee, after all, it was their main source of income, but Song Shu paid Song Erlang a separate salary, so the consultation fee was unnecessary.In this way, Songji's employees no longer worry about looking down on doctors.

Doctor Song's consultation room is located in the original reception room of Songji Brewery.

All the workshops in Linzhou City are located in this park, so it is very convenient to see a doctor.

"Let me tell you, Dr. Song is amazing! You know my waist, once I get tired, I can't straighten up. Dr. Song will take a few injections and it will be fine!" Outside the clinic, an elderly uncle came out, Said to several other Song Ji workers who were queuing outside the door.

"What are you? I suffered from a cold when I was a child. I didn't treat it in time and I had a cough. I saw many doctors but they couldn't cure it. Doctor Song prescribed a few medicines for me, and it took effect immediately. Did you hear me coughing?" ?”

"Not really, Doctor Song is really amazing."

"But Dr. Song said that he is just superficial, and another Dr. Yin is very powerful. He is his master!"

"I don't believe it. I'll recognize Dr. Song. Not only is his medical skill good, but he also looks good. I don't know if he's married. He's only a few years older than my niece."

"Don't dream, Dr. Song even has a child. I saw it last time when I went to deliver beer to Song's house. She is a pretty girl."

"I heard it was adopted."

"It is indeed adopted, but the boss said that Dr. Song got married, but his wife is out of town and hasn't come here yet." A man in charge said, "The boss's wife has already sent someone to look for it."

Since the other end of the eastern suburbs started calling Song Anan the proprietress, the other workers of Songji have also learned the tongue one after another. Although they don't quite understand why they use a name that looks like a woman, they are used to it and don't worry about it. No one is serious.

Except Song Anan.

Song Shu and Anan were patrolling the brewery, and the workers shouted in unison: "Hi, my boss, and my wife." He heard it in his ears, and his lower back felt a little painful.

After visiting the brewery, Song Shu went to the construction site in the eastern suburbs.

Yan Zhuo just sent someone to report that his design has been completed.

When he first started drawing the picture, Song Shu communicated with him about many ideas. Yan Zhuo had been doing engineering drawings for Song Ji for a long time, and he had a good understanding with Song Shu, and he understood his intention without too much talking.

Song Shu had already seen the draft of the design, and it was a bit more detailed and thoughtful than his idea, so he was still looking forward to today's final draft.

As soon as Song Shu entered the pergola on the construction site, Yan Zhuo talked about the design drawings: "I made some adjustments here, look..."

He has always been like this when he is focused. In the past, when he was pulling Song Shu to discuss math problems, he was driven away by Song Anan several times. Now when he is doing engineering design, he is even more focused.Except for Song Shu who could give him advice, the others ignored it.

Song Anan was left alone, but he was not angry.

Looking around, the workers on the ground were all from Beiying. They were very happy to see him and greeted him one after another.

It's just that boss lady... Forget it, this is at least a kind of proof of his identity, and others don't want it yet.Song Anan comforted himself.

Song Ji wanted to do real estate in the eastern suburbs, and the news had already spread throughout the city, even in some surrounding counties and prefectures.Some merchants who had business dealings with Song Shu even asked directly.

Even Zhou Mu Linyuan was quite interested.

"After your construction site started, it was surrounded by curtains. What is being built?" Linzhou Mu asked when he came to Song's house to drink tea.

Many people have asked Song Shu about this, and he just laughed and said nothing. Now that the time is almost here, let Linzhou Mu know that it is not a bad thing in advance, so he said: "Actually, it's nothing unusual, it's just that some bricks and woods have been built. structures, from apartments to townhouses."

"Brick and wood structure? What is an apartment? And townhouses?" Lin Zhoumu was confused. He had never been familiar with these terms. When he first heard them, he couldn't even memorize them. .

Song Shu poured him some more tea and explained what a brick and wood structure is.

Lin Zhoumu listened carefully. Although he didn't know much about architecture, he could still hear that this kind of building was simpler and more practical than today's, more convenient to build, and not bad in aesthetics.

"...an apartment is a building that can accommodate many families, and each family has an independent door." Song Shu said that he did not have steel bars in his hand, and a house with a brick and wood structure can build up to three floors. The number of people that can live in it is limited, but compared to today's level of technology, it is already a great improvement.

When the Lulin Straight Road is completed, the population of Linzhou City will definitely increase dramatically.In addition to the permanent population, there will also be people who need to stay often. If you buy a house alone, you need a special caretaker to take care of it.

After understanding the apartment, Song Shu explained the townhouses to Lin Zhoumu, which is quite close to the current model of a house, just like several houses next to each other. Lin Zhoumu quickly understood.

"This kind of house is really unheard of." Lin Zhoumu took a sip of tea. According to Song Shu's statement, each of his houses can accommodate more people than traditional houses.

If a large number of such houses are built in Linzhou City in the future, even if the population inside and outside the city doubles, it is not afraid.

With more people, the city will be more lively, there will be more merchants, more tax revenue, and his political achievements will also rise steadily.No matter in the future, the resurgence of the Jia Dynasty or the establishment of a new dynasty, this is the capital that can win high officials and rich salary.

Lin Yuan: "You really have a quick mind. A house with such a structure would never have been imagined by Mr. Lin."

Song Shu: "Your Excellency, I just proposed an idea, and my brother-in-law Yan Zhuo also made many improvements. If it weren't for him, this apartment and townhouse would have been absolutely impossible to realize."

The Yan family in Cangzhou is also a famous and influential family. Lin Yuan knew that Yan Zhuo was also quite famous in the circle of scholars.

It was only Lin Yuan who found out that Yan Zhuo was still the son-in-law of the Song family. They not only had good friends with the Jiedushi Yin family, but also had in-laws with the Yan family. I heard that Song Silang also had contact with the Xie family and the Shen family in Hengzhou. Quite a lot.

His Song family is not a famous family, but he has good friends with many famous families, and he has entered the most high-end circle except for the nobles in Guanzhong.

Lin Yuan made up his mind, he must firmly hug the big tree Song Silang, so that he and his family can survive the turmoil of dynasty change again safely.

Song Shu and Lin Yuan's talk was not in vain, within three days, people with some reputation in Linzhou City had already found out about Song Ji's construction site in the eastern suburbs.

Some other well-informed foreign merchants also came here after hearing the news.

Seeing that the Lulin Straight Road is about to be built, Linzhou is already located on a major traffic road, and now it will be connected to the seaport. Once the sea trade starts, the volume will be like sea water, which cannot be measured.

"Brother Liang, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Hehe, shopkeeper Liu, long time no see."

The inns, large and small, in Linzhou City were gradually filled with people, and the Lulin Straight Road was about to open, and all domestic businessmen who wanted to get a share of the sea trade gathered in Linzhou.

In recent years, the imperial court has declined, and some local officials have kept their duties, but most of them only care about filling their own pockets.

Many trading ports near the sea are also getting worse year by year due to heavy and miscellaneous taxes.Luzhou Port is one of the rare places where there are no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. It is only because of the lack of trade routes that the trade volume has been unable to increase.

Waiting for the Lulin Straight Road to be opened, as long as Luzhou and Linzhou remain as before, without excessive taxation, then the future of Luzhou Port can be expected, and so can the future of Linzhou City.

"Brother Liang will have to come and go frequently in Linzhou City in the future, but he also wants to visit the Songji Apartment in the eastern suburbs?"

"The shopkeeper Liu is talking about the... that brick and wood house built by Song Shu and Song Silang?"

"It's a brick and wood structure house, I heard..."

While the merchants in the city were discussing, the curtain outside the construction site in the eastern suburbs had also been quietly lifted.

But in just a few months, things have changed a lot.

The prototypes of townhouses and apartments have been outlined, with several gardens dotted in the middle, and some houses for other functions.

A three-story apartment building facing the street has been completely completed, and the first one is written as a model apartment.

"Little brother, is this finished?" The old vegetable seller passed by carrying a load. The style of this house is much more elegant than those in their village, but it is not as complicated as those in the city, and it still looks solid.

"No, everything inside is still under construction, but the owner said that if guests want to buy, they can pay a deposit first. This apartment is ready. You can see that the one at the beginning is a model apartment, and there is an entire apartment in the next room. The model of the community." An employee of Song Ji said, he didn't dislike that it was only a farmer who asked, and introduced him kindly.

"This looks really good." The old man said, "My son and his wife are running a small business in the city, and they have saved money to buy a house. I don't think they should look for one in the city, it's better to buy it in the eastern suburbs."

"Sure enough, Jiang is old and hot. The old man has a really good vision. Our community is different from other houses. Not only is it equipped with a nursing home, but there is also a shuttle bus in the morning and evening. If you want to go to the city, our shuttle bus can pick you up for free!" The employee of Song Ji said.

"So good? It's free!" the old man said pleasantly, "I'll go back and tell my son!"

"Eastern Suburb Garden?" After the old man left, a few men who could read stayed behind, "Brother, is this the house built by Shopkeeper Song?"

Another guest came, and the clerk immediately greeted him and introduced him.

Song Ji's news of the East Suburb Garden's sale gradually spread. Local people who wanted to buy a house, and people looking for business opportunities from other places, all gathered here one after another. For ten days in a row, the sales office in the Eastern Suburb was buzzing with people.

Ordinary people have to think twice before buying a house before booking the next one with money.If there were only them, Song Shu's house could be sold slowly in three to five months without any problem.

And those merchants did not give this opportunity.

The Lulin Straight Road will be opened soon, and merchants doing business in the city or out of town are optimistic about the future of Linzhou City.And when they came to see Song Shu's house in person, they knew that it was of good quality, simple and convenient in structure, and several sets could be purchased with a wave of hands.There are even merchants who make a living in inns, and directly circle two apartments as places to open inns in the future.

In just twelve days, except for a few townhouses that Song Shu kept privately, the rest of the properties were sold out.Song Shu asked for a [-]% deposit from each household, and collected a lot of money in one go.

In order to support him in building roads, the exiles and other serious criminals in Linzhou, Luzhou, and Lizhou were all sent to Lila Mountain to mine limestone for burning cement.With the help of Anan's soldiers, the engineering team needed a lot less hired workers.

Coupled with the deposit for selling the house, the tight capital chain was finally relieved, and Song Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Song Silang, can you sell those flats you kept privately?" For some reason, some merchants found out within two days that Song Shu still had houses, and one by one they came up with their ideas again.

Some merchants who have a good relationship with Song Shu even asked directly.

"Shopkeeper Wu, I don't sell these sets." When Song Shu encountered such a situation, he politely refused directly.

"Do you want to keep your own house?" asked the shopkeeper Wu who came to buy. He has always had business dealings with Song Ji, but he is not a local merchant in Linzhou. fishing.

"No." Song Shu smiled, "My family doesn't live in Linzhou City all the time. If we really want to live in this brick and wood house, we can just buy a piece of land and build it."

Shopkeeper Wu nodded in agreement.

The Song family is really not suitable to live there, everyone knows that the house was built by Song Ji, if the owner lives in it, maybe anyone who leaks water can find the Song family, it will be very troublesome.

But if they don't live on their own, who is the house for?

He had heard that Song Shu had a close relationship with Yin Jiedu's envoy's family. Could it be that he was reserved for them?But this place is thousands of miles away from Yicheng, even if they stay, they may not be able to live there.

Besides, it's too inappropriate for General Yin to live in this small residence... Shopkeeper Wu laughed.

Song Shu: "If you really want to know, it's okay if I reveal a thing or two."

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Wu became interested. He knew that these houses had been targeted by many people, but no one knew what Song Shu kept them for. If he could find out today, it would be considered inside news. In the market, it may be a small advantage.

Song Shu: "Those villas stand independently in a row. I plan to renovate them and make them a library and a school."

"This...is a matter of accumulating good deeds and blessings." Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

There is a lack of official schools in Jianghuai, and only a few counties have official schools.If children from other places wanted to study, they had to find a way to enter the ethnology of aristocratic families, or go to private schools run by rural scholars.

Most of the aristocrats of those aristocratic families hired some capable masters, and they could indeed learn something, but ordinary people couldn't get in.

And the private schools in the countryside are hard to say, some are serious about teaching and educating people, and some are casually teaching and eating, good and bad are mixed.

Shopkeeper Wu: "Your school, can you recruit students?"

Although these businessmen are rich, it is still a big problem for their children to study. It is not difficult to find a master to teach them to read, but it is difficult to find someone who is really talented.

"Of course." Song Shu said, "Priority is given to the residents of the Eastern Suburb Garden, and students are also recruited from the city and the suburbs. In addition, I am also considering setting up scholarships to support students with outstanding qualifications but poor families."

When he heard the first sentence, shopkeeper Wu felt a little flustered. He didn't buy a house in the eastern suburbs. After talking about it, he felt relieved.

But after thinking about it for a while, he was still worried: "Linzhou City is rich, and there are many children who have money in and out of the city but have no place to study. Your school is only so big, how can you accommodate so many people?"

Song Shu: "It depends on who can pass my exam."

Educational resources are precious wherever they are placed. It is normal for some people to be able to read and some not. He can only allow more people to have the opportunity to read, but cannot guarantee that everyone can read.

Shopkeeper Wu: "What do you think of this? Since you want to set up a bonus for poor children, why don't you give me a sum of money to do that bonus for you, and you leave two places for my children to be exempted from the exam?"

None of the children in his family can read a single word. If he wants to take some exams, the chances of passing are not high. He didn't buy a house in the eastern suburbs, so he had to get two quota insurance first.

Song Shu: "No problem."

Shopkeeper Wu was overjoyed. He thought he would have to spend a lot of time talking, but he didn't expect Song Shu to be so easy to talk to.

"In addition to the tuition fees, if you donate another 20 yuan to my school, I will reserve two places for the Wu family's children." Song Shu said, "To tell you the truth, there are already plans for a wife candidate in this school. One name was originally the master of the Xie family school in Hengzhou, and he can be regarded as a great Confucianist in the world, I took a lot of trouble to invite him, and the other one was originally from the Yan family, and his favorite disciples will also come together."

Shopkeeper Wu was speechless for a long while.

This Song Silang is really... really good at business.

If he said such a thing, he didn't believe that Song Shu had thought of it on the spur of the moment. The one hundred thousand yuan per quota was probably something he had thought about a long time ago.Moreover, he knew that it was not difficult for them, a family of merchants, to be able to read and write. What they lacked was a good teacher who was really talented.

He invited two teachers from the prestigious family school in such a breath, which means that the students of the Song family school, no matter what their background is, can receive the same education as the children of the aristocratic family.

Why are children from poor families often inferior to children from aristocratic families?

It's not that the aptitude is not good, but that the children of the aristocratic family have been taught by famous teachers since they were young, but the children of the poor family can only explore by themselves.

The allure of the Song Family Academy is too great!

Let alone a hundred thousand dollars, even a million dollars, he is willing!

Shopkeeper Wu was so excited that he forgot to ask about the library, and immediately ran home to get the money, for fear that Song Shu would regret it.

After accepting the 20 yuan from shopkeeper Wu, Song Shu beamed.

Books are so precious these days, he wants to build a library, what can he do without money.Fortunately, Xie Jiayan's family was willing to support him. With such two good teachers in charge, he was not afraid that his school would not be able to recruit rich students.

The more parents of these students sponsor, the more money they will have to open the library.

Before the houses in the eastern suburbs were handed over, Lulin Zhidao was fully completed.

It extends from the east gate of Linzhou to the port of Luzhou, connecting five counties, two markets and countless villages in series.

The night before the completion of the construction, Song Shu and Anan rode horses from Linzhou to Luzhou in one night.Luzhou Port happened to be facing east. When they first arrived, the morning light was twilight. Song Shu leaned against Anan's arms and squinted for a while, then he heard Anan say: "The sun."

He opened his eyes, and the big red sun had already surfaced on the water.

Maybe it's because of the early morning, the sun doesn't feel hot, and the sea breeze blows, bringing a smell of fishy, ​​salty and sticky.

"Your Excellency, but Song Silang?"

After watching the sunrise, Song Shu and Anan walked around the sea dam twice, when suddenly someone struck up a conversation.

Unexpectedly, someone in Luzhou knew him, Song Shu nodded, and returned a salute with the visitor.

"It's really Song Silang! Please be respected by the old man." Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man with gray beard hugging his hands and bowing deeply.

Song Shu hurriedly turned sideways, not daring to accept this great gift for nothing.

Song Shu: "Mister, did you admit it wrong? In Xialinzhou, Song Shu doesn't seem to know you well."

"It's true that you don't know me, but I've heard about your name for a long time." The old man said, "I'm Luzhou State Shepherd, Lu Wen. Today, Lulin Zhidao will be fully opened. I'm really moved. I didn't expect to see you here. Your Excellency's road building is really a righteous act, and it benefits the people of Lu and Lin prefectures."

The old man was dressed in commoner clothes and a bamboo hat on his head. If he didn't specify otherwise, he wouldn't be able to tell that he was a shepherd of Yizhou.

Song Shu cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, Song Shu just did what he could."

Seeing that he was so modest, the old man had a higher opinion of Song Shu in his heart.At this time, a few cargo ships came into the port, and the old man chatted with Song Shu about shipping. Song Shu didn't study much about it, but thanks to his experience in his previous life, he also proposed many new and feasible methods, which made the old man even more interested in him. Because of appreciation, he strongly invited him and Song Anan to the house for dinner.

Song Shu and Anan went out last night, and they didn't eat anything along the way. Lu Zhoumu invited him so kindly that they couldn't bear to refuse, so they followed him to the Lu Mansion.

The appearance of the Lu Mansion is the same as that of Lu Wen himself. Its appearance is unremarkable, but the inside is full of secrets.

He took Song Shu and the others to eat in a gazebo in the yard. The pavilion was surrounded by gardens, which was very pleasing to the eye.

The scenery is good and the food is delicious, but the more Lu Wen and Song Shu chatted, the more speculative they became, and they even took the initiative to bring up their sixteen-year-old granddaughter who was waiting in her boudoir.

Song Shu coped with it, alarm bells ringing in his heart, but he was only halfway through the meal, and he couldn't find a reason to run away.

Song Shu bit his mouth dry and kicked Song Anan, telling him to think of a solution quickly.

Anan didn't know if he understood, but the old god was still drinking tea on the ground.

Lu Wen didn't know what his background was, but seeing him silently following Song Shu, he just regarded him as a useful subordinate, so he didn't talk to him much.Song Anan didn't like to deal with these things at first, he was quite happy when people didn't talk to him, he sipped his tea and drank some, and concentrated on enjoying the food.

Song Anan ate a piece of mung bean cake and refilled himself with some tea.

Suddenly, his foot was kicked hard, he put down his teacup, and looked at Song Shu with a puzzled expression.

Lu Wen said it was convenient, so he left the table for the time being. Song Shu glared at Song Anan, almost puffing up into a puffer fish: "You enjoyed your meal. Is it delicious?"

Song Anan nodded, although he prefers the one made by Song Shu, but this one is also good.

Song Shu: "Since it's delicious, you can keep it. This family just needs a grandson, I think you are just right." He had a smile on his face, but the last few words were forced out from between his teeth. of.

Song Anan couldn't eat anymore.

Although he didn't know what happened, Song Shu was angry!

"It's not tasty." Song Anan immediately put down the snacks, stopped drinking the tea, and spoke nonsense without changing his face.

Song Shu: "Isn't it delicious to eat so much? Did you hear what we said just now?"

Anan nodded.

Song Shu: "Did you hear that? You didn't respond? What did we say?".

Song Anan thought hard for a while, when they sat down just now, they seemed to be talking about porcelain, so they replied: "Porcelain."

Song Shu: "I really doubt that your ears are made of porcelain. Don't you have good hearing? I was talking to someone in the room, and you could hear them clearly outside the door. Why is he right in front of you this time? What are you doing?" Can't hear you?"

Because in someone else's house, Song Shu's voice was very low, but he spoke quickly, and Song Anan was dumbfounded by what he said.

After a while, Song Anan said: "You speak... nice." It was the old man who was talking about it just now, and what he was talking about was all about the sea trade, taxes, etc. that he didn't understand.

It's nice to listen to Song Shu talking about business with people at home.

"You..." Song Shu didn't know whether to be angry or happy, was Song Anan teasing him on purpose?

Regardless, he heard footsteps approaching.

Song Shu embraced Song Anan's neck, kissed him quickly, then turned around and sat down again.

There was an obvious pause in the footsteps, and Song Shu took another two sips.
