Liang Chuan was overjoyed and respectfully invited several skilled craftsmen into the He's Ancestral Hall where he was temporarily resting.

In this era, tea tables were not popular cultural relics. There was only an offering table in the ancestral hall, which was used by the villagers to carry out offerings when they held memorial ceremonies for their ancestors.

Several people came from afar. Liang Chuan cleared the table and sat down around it. Zhao Xiaopin is like an intermediary, introducing people on both sides in turn.

The conditions here are a bit shabby, but to be honest, it is much better than the original thatched cottage with thatched rafters. If I lived in that small thatched cottage today, I would tell these masters that they wanted to build a mansion that would honor their ancestors. The hospital estimates that these masters will just turn around and leave. Who knows if there will be a place to collect wages after the construction is completed?

Yi Niang took a few bowls of water and put them on the altar table, and said politely: "I don't have much to entertain at home. I'm tired after a long journey."

Liang Chuan smiled and said she was a bitch. The others smiled and showed their goodwill, thinking she was a beautiful wife.

Several people walked away with their stomachs roaring wildly, and as a result, there was only water on the table. .

Zhao Fafa and others sat on the bench, looked at Liang Chuan's appearance, and then looked at the dilapidated ancestral hall. It should have been quite old. The old beams on it, the pillars in the corners, and the grease in the logs were slowly disappearing. It seeped out and became a little dark in color. The beams above became even darker due to the incense. In many places, the tiles on the roofs had fallen off. In the center hung a "loyalty" inscription. The gold paint on the plaque has almost fallen off, and it looks a little bit. . It makes people worry. . The financial resources of this owner.

Several people sat awkwardly at the altar table. Zhao Fafa spoke first and asked, "What's your surname, Young Master?"

Liang Chuan said: "No need to worry, no need to worry, Liang Chuan, the third oldest, you can just call me Liang Chuan. I should have been the one to visit you in person, but unfortunately someone in the family was sick, and I couldn't leave, so I had to Hard work Xiaopin went to invite all the masters here alone."

What Liang Chuan said was quite pleasing to the ears. Several masters have been in the world for decades. They eat the same rice and eat all kinds of people. They have seen all kinds of people. What people want in the world is mutual respect. This makes me feel comfortable. Liang Chuan can do it. To give them such a feeling.

Zhao Fafa asked: "The young master's family name is Liang, so how come he lives in the He family's ancestral hall?"

Liang Chuan paused for a moment, wondering why he suddenly asked this question, and replied: "There was a flood at home a few days ago, and the house in Haoyi was burned to a pile of ashes. Now the family and the whole family are homeless. The good Baozheng in the village took pity on us because we had no place to live, so he made room for us in this ancestral hall."

Staying temporarily? A few people began to retreat in their hearts. Does this look like someone who has the ability to build a new house?

While talking, Ye Xiaochai walked out of the side room. He was too ill a few days ago and couldn't even get out of bed. Yi Niang took good care of her for a few days. Today, she is finally feeling better, but her face is still a little lighter. .

Ye Xiaochai has always been a beauty, her appearance is even better than that of an artist. She has a beautiful face and graceful figure, and she has obviously experienced extraordinary things, and her behavior is quite dignified.

Ye Xiaochai walked out of the side room and went to help Yi Niang.

Linghu Chuan's medicine really worked wonders, and his condition improved greatly in just a few days.

Several people suddenly saw an iceberg beauty who looked like a fairy coming out of the side room. When they saw Liang Chuan discussing important matters, they didn't dare to disturb them. They smiled charmingly like a spring breeze on their faces, made Yingying Yifu, and walked slowly away. Got out.

Several Luocheng masters were so stunned that their eyes widened!

Liang Chuan looked at the way several people were staring at Ye Xiaochai. Let alone them, Ye Xiaochai was really beautiful now. He even wanted to accept this little goblin!

This is all a man wants, and this Ye Xiaochai is really good at doing things to give himself face in front of so many people.

There is actually a house with such a charming little wife!

If you can afford such a little wife, why should you worry that the owner can't afford to build a house? Zhao Fafa is a veteran with a sharp eye. Liang Chuan is a good talker. At first glance, it seems that he is not a mud-legged man who has been nesting in the mountains all his life. At home He also has a lovely wife and beautiful family, but only a few pounds and a few taels. Who can have such confidence?

Zhao Xiaopin looked at the elders in a daze, and he wanted to say a few compliments to flatter Liang Chuan, and said, "Brother Zhang, my aunt is really a stunning beauty!"

Liang Chuan chuckled and said to Zhao Xiaopin: "Hey, you can't talk nonsense. How can I have the ability to marry a concubine?"

What is not a little wife? Damn, did you make a mistake again?

Zhao Xiaopin continued to ask as if the door was open: "What is that?"

Liang Chuan put his fingers on his nose and scratched it, tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "According to your rules, call the servant."

Servant! A few people immediately took a breath! How can you deserve such a beautiful servant if you are such a bad person! You can still use servants! If you can afford it, just give me some water to drink?

When Zhao Fafa saw this, he felt reassured. He glanced at the juniors and signaled them not to be impulsive. He would speak here. The juniors understood. Zhao Fafa immediately got to the point and said, "Master, how big of a house do you plan to build?"

Liang Chuan had been thinking about how big a house to build for a long time. On the one hand, he was considering the gold and silver on hand and was afraid of spending too much at one time. He also wanted to do something in the future but did not have the funds to start a business. On the other hand, he came to this world inexplicably. I still don’t understand the situation now. What if one day I wake up and find myself sitting in the duty room again, and I just had a long, yellow dream, wouldn’t it mean that my life has been in vain, and I have to be proud of my life. You can have fun, you can get drunk now, why should you keep these money and things? Besides, now I have some ideas, at least I can't starve to death in this world, so why not enjoy the blessings I deserve first.

Seeing this, Liang Chuan no longer had any worries and said: "When you came to the He's Ancestral Hall just now, you saw a very nice house next to it. That is the big house of Baozheng of our village. You can take care of it." Just give me one of those houses, and don’t make the others too extravagant. Houses are for living in, as long as they are comfortable, the others are of no use!”

Zhao Fafa had just seen He Baozheng's house. What kind of house it was. Standing outside from a distance, he knew what was inside. He thought about it for a long time, figuring out how much time it would take to build such a house. How much gold and silver.

This house has a history of at least several decades. In the turbulent times of the previous dynasty, people were struggling to make ends meet and prices skyrocketed. A pound of pork or a pound of millet cost a lot of money. This house only had five rooms at most. Given the prices at that time, it was at least a lot. Thousands of gold and silver, this amount is not a small amount even now. Zhao Fafa thought of the prices when he was an apprentice and compared them now. Now that the outline of the court has been established, although the new emperor has just been established, several officials have worked hard to govern the country and ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Except for the two ethnic groups in the north and northwest, there are very few wars. The price of rice has dropped significantly. The price of rice means the price of goods. Various other materials have also dropped a lot accordingly. To build such a large house at the current price, the materials must be paid for at your own expense. , if the labor and materials are split in half, the price will be much cheaper.

Zhao Fafa had made up his mind and was thinking about how to talk to Liang Chuan about the price. Liang Chuan saw that Zhao Fafa had been calculating for a long time and seemed to have come to a conclusion. However, he sat there and did not dare to speak for a long time. Liang Chuan was puzzled and asked: "Master Zhao, is there any problem? If there is any problem, let's raise it now." come out."

Zhao Fafa thought to himself that since his master had said it, if he didn't talk about the money issue now, and then he would be embarrassed because of the money issue when the work started, wouldn't it be more of a gain than a loss? After thinking about these joints in his mind, he said: "As you know, the young masters, our masters have not been able to get jobs for many days, and we don't have much gold and silver in our hands. The young masters want to build such a luxurious house now, and it will cost a lot of money." It’s not a small amount of money, this money..."

After all, it's still a matter of money. Isn't it because you are afraid that I will have no money?

Liang Chuan reached into his arms and touched them for a long time.

Several people looked at Liang Chuan's actions and were confused? What is this for? Take money? How much money can I put in this pocket?

Hey, where did you put it? When I was collecting firewood in the morning, I took out a gold ingot worth ten taels from the tree hole. Where did I put it? Liang Chuan lifted up his clothes and looked at it. Alas, there it is! Liang Chuan took out the gold ingot and gently placed it on the altar table.

Gold ingot! It’s still a gold ingot worth ten taels! Oh my God! What happened today? A group of people were stimulated too much and their emotions fluctuated too much. They had seen the world, but they still swallowed hard when they saw this attractive Jin Yuanbao directly. , the visual impact is too strong. . It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such a luxurious host. It’s been so many years. There are only a few people who can directly take out the snowflake silver when paying. Most people pay with boxes and bundles of copper coins. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a arrogant person. Yes, just take out the gold. .

Several people couldn't move their eyes when they looked at the ingot gold ingot. Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Master Zhao, you can pick up this ingot and check it. This ingot gold ingot is twelve taels."

Zhao Fafa's face turned red and he said: "Master, you are just kidding me." He picked up the gold ingot, put it in his mouth and bit it hard! This yellow piece is relatively soft, and his teeth can still bite it. If it were a piece of brass, it would break all the teeth in his mouth, and he would not be able to bite a mark. Moreover, the taste of brass would be bitter in his mouth. , gold is slightly sweet, and you will know if there is copper mixed in the gold!

After Zhao Fafa bit it, he handed it to Zhao Jinyu. Zhao Jinyu did the same as him and didn't care that Zhao Fafa had already bitten it just now. He put it directly into his mouth and took a bite. Several people took turns to bite the piece of gold. When the last piece of gold ingot was returned to Liang Chuan's hand, the whole piece of gold ingot had a strong smell of saliva, and the ingot was full of bite marks. . As disgusting as you want.

Several masters discussed it and finally came to a unified conclusion: "It only takes two thousand!"
