While Xiao Han came over to see Xiao Er's calculations, Butler Lu said with a smile on his face: "Haha, Mr. Marquis, now that the family has made money, I'm thinking about starting the construction of the mansion. I always let you sleep like this." It's not a suitable place for a simple place. If an outsider comes, I can't always squeeze in with you! As for the manpower, Mr. Marquis doesn't have to worry. When I have all the materials ready in two days, the manager of Yahang will naturally bring them. The craftsmen are coming over and starting construction now, and by the winter, it will be almost completed!”
"Well, okay, you can take care of these things yourself, but the Hou Mansion is not in a hurry!" Xiao Han rubbed his eyes, put down the paper full of numbers, picked up the pen in Xiao's second hand and crossed out the materials from the Hou Mansion. , turned around and said to Butler Lu: "Please prepare the materials for other people's houses first. As for mine, wait a moment. Anyway, I plan to move to Shishan for a while tomorrow."
"This... isn't very good. Mr. Marquis, you don't even have a place to live. How can they live in peace?"
Butler Lu was a little surprised when he saw that Xiao Han didn't seem to be joking. Although building the Hou Mansion required a lot of money, considering Xiao Han's current windfall, the money spent to build the Hou Mansion was absolutely nothing.
Seeing Butler Lu's incomprehensible look, Xiao Han had to explain to him first: "That's right, I'm going to make some new materials in two days. The foundation of my family's house must be laid first, and the bricks and tiles are ready, and then the mud will be ready." Don’t live anymore, wait until I get good materials, and we won’t need yellow mud when building houses in the future!”
"No yellow mud? Then what to use?"
"cement!"
"What is cement used for?" Butler Lu became more and more confused. Just when he was about to raise his head to ask, he found that Xiao Han had already opened the box containing the gold, and his face was immersed in the golden light with a happy face.
Butler Lu and Xiao Er knew that this was Lord Hou's happiest time, so they were wise enough not to disturb him.
It's not easy for Mr. Hou. All they have to do is to do their job. However, Mr. Hou has to support such a big family at such a young age. In the game with the outside world, none of them can help him and provide food for his family. They could only look at the cost of wearing it and couldn't think of anything to do!
All they can do is to try their best to do those trivial things well and not let the Marquis worry about it any more. Haven't you seen that the Marquis's careless smiles are getting less and less now?
Xiao Han entered his daily fantasy state. Butler Lu and Xiao Er stood beside him like a guard. The idiot who had just finished eating saw Xiao Han and was about to come over to say hello when he was kicked by Butler Lu. How many feet away...
"call……"
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Han let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes slowly became brighter from a dazed state.
This was a sign that Xiao Han was about to wake up. Xiao Er, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly moved the small stool to Xiao Han so that he could sit and rest.
After diligently waiting for Xiao Han to sit down, Butler Lu was about to speak. The idiot rushed up with his big eyes. I don’t know whether it was intentional or not. When he passed by Butler Lu, he thrust his fat buttocks and directly pushed Butler Lu. He pushed it to the side and almost fell off the back steps on the spot.
"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, the craftsmen over there have said that the big kiln has been completed. What's next? Oh, by the way, as you asked, I also collected some stones and smashed them all into powder. , that thing is hard to put away, and it flies everywhere when the wind blows, so the craftsmen said they should use it as soon as possible!"
The fool stood under the eaves and reported the situation to Xiao Han with a serious face, as if he didn't see Butler Lu who was right behind him, waving his arms and trying to learn how to be independent as a golden rooster, and was babbled...
Who told you to kick me just now...
The people digging the cellar over there saw the scene here. They were all squeaking like pigs, their hoes were tilted and they were about to die from laughter. It was so inhumane that they didn't come to help them!
Poor Butler Lu stepped on the edge, and below was the ditch dug for drainage. He was flexing his teeth and claws for a long time, and was about to fall. Finally, someone extended a helping hand and gave him a hand. Poor Butler Lu could barely stand up. , holding on to the wall and breathing heavily.
Alas, after all, Xiao Han still felt sorry for him. He was afraid that the thin bamboo pole that worked hard for the family would break, so he pulled him and kicked the idiot in the leg as punishment.
It's just that this kick is just like a tickle to the fool, and it's not a threat at all. The fool doesn't even bother to wipe the footprints on his pants...
Very good. Although Butler Lu was angry after suffering a loss, he looked at Xiao Han and said nothing, but there seemed to be fire in his eyes. He didn't know what the idiot was planning. After offending the steward, he could still be nice to you. ?
Xiao Han enjoyed this playful family atmosphere very much. Having seen Li Shimin's strict barriers, he always felt that living in that kind of place for a long time would lead to mental illness. Of course it would be okay for you to be the emperor of the ages.
But look at your sons and daughters. They are rebellious, promiscuous, cowardly, and even homosexual. Anyway, there is no normal person. Xiao Han feels that it is inseparable from his family atmosphere. He must think about it at any time. There is a way to persuade him. No matter how strong you are, if you encounter so many bad things, your heart will soon turn into a sieve!
As the number one person in the world, his food, clothing, housing and necessities are all the best in the world, but just like that, he died at the age of only fifty. Who dares to say that it has nothing to do with these things?
The idiot looked at Butler Lu with a strange expression. His face was red and his neck was thick, and his Adam's apple was shaking violently. It was obvious that he wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it back. Xiao Han pretended not to see it and said to him seriously:
"Okay, I know everything you said. Let's do this for now... By the way, I almost forgot. Go over there and tell them that they have a day off today. Except for those who are on duty, everyone will come back. Brother Zhang's family today Come here, let’s all take this opportunity to have a good gathering!”
The fool was still complacent about his successful revenge, but suddenly heard what Xiao Han said, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Is there anything delicious?"
In his mind, parties and food have always been inseparable. The fat chicken that day seemed to still have a fragrance in his mouth now that he thinks about it. He hasn't eaten anything good in the past few days...
After following Xiao Han for a few good days, the stupid man was no longer able to eat enough, and started to eat with his big mouth. In the past two days, I heard that the family's money was a little tight, and there was no food in the meal. It wasn't meaty at all, and he enjoyed eating it so much that he didn't dare to tell others. If he did, he would definitely cut it into pieces...
"In these years, how many days have you been able to have enough to eat? Is this something wrong with your eating habits?!"
The fool could even imagine the expression on his uncle's face when he said this, so these days he could only turn his grief and anger into food intake, but without the meat and fishy taste, no matter how much he ate, he still didn't have the feeling of enjoyment.
"You just know how to eat! Look at how fat you are, and you're not afraid of stuffing yourself to death!"
Xiao Han smiled and cursed, slapping the expectant look on his face, and then asked Butler Lu, who was angry and cold-faced, to go find someone to buy meat.
"Poor idiot, I can only help you this far. I guess Butler Lu won't let you go in a while..."
Idiot is also a bitch, and he always wants to give Butler Lu some hidden trouble, but every time he feels happy for a while, he will always be unlucky for a long time afterwards...
The person in charge of purchasing left in a hurry. Xiao Han's order to take a day off did not seem to be implemented. Those who dug the cellar were still digging the cellar, and those who went to plow the land were still plowing. There were only a bunch of half-grown boys under the leadership of Butler Lu. Pick up the stones and mud from the large open space, and tonight the Xiao Mansion's traditional repertoire, the bonfire party, will be held here!
Everyone was busy, only Xiao Han looked around leisurely and wandered around.
Of course, no one will have any objection to this. In everyone's mind, the Marquis is not for work! And Mr. Xiao, who can feed so many people, should have a good rest, but today it seems that there are two tails missing behind Mr. Hou...
They didn't know that poor tail Xiaodong was cleaning the house with a runny nose. As for the other tail, Lunzi, Xiao Han didn't know where he had gone, but his sixth sense told him that nothing good was waiting for Lunzi.
Xiao Han's sixth sense was very accurate. After Butler Lu arranged the purchase, he caught the fool and gave him an ax with broken teeth like a saw. He also told him that his task was to chop enough for tonight. The wood needed for the bonfire suddenly floated away with a constipated expression on Lunzi's face. Lunzi seemed to be able to hear the laughter in his stomach...
"Nanniwan back then was full of barren mountains...now Nanniwan is full of beautiful scenery~"
He was in a good mood, humming a little tune, and walked deep into the grass without realizing it. Xiao Han especially liked such a pure and natural world.
Tao Yuanming's picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the Nanshan Mountain leisurely may be the deepest dream of countless people working hard in the city. Sometimes, Xiao Han thought that this life would just go by, peaceful, safe and happy. happy!
But then I thought, no way! I am not a traitor who will care about the flood after I die. Thinking about the humiliation suffered by the great country in the future, Xiao Han feels guilty. The great man is right, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you don’t have such a unique vision, you will be beaten. If you use it, you won't be able to see your ancestors even if you go down there!
He dug into his pockets, wanting to review his ideals and encourage his recent laxity, but suddenly found that his planning drawings had been revised by the chief bookkeeper and others.
Xiao Han took a look at the newly revised drawings. Different from his "whimsical" plan, the plan of that group of people was completely designed according to a county. According to their words, it can be realized within fifty years. Of course, this must be done in Xiao Han's Holy Family. In a prosperous situation...
However, although the general design on the drawings has changed, under Xiao Han's strong request, his strange buildings were still retained.
Just based on its function, the distribution is more reasonable. Xiao Han is still satisfied with this. After all, planning a city, even a small county town, is not something ordinary people can do, and a layman like him can only do it. Just drool and lust, but to really put it into practice, you need professionals!
