Because it is located in Haizhou, which is economically prosperous and has a large population, it is relatively easy to hire laborers and buy building materials, and the area of the "commercial market" is relatively small, covering an area of only about 12,000 mu (seven to eight square kilometers), so the construction speed of Haizhou commercial market is much faster than that of Jiehe commercial market.

When Wu Haogu and Huang Tingjian entered the Haizhou business market from the west gate of the market, the two of them saw a straight and wide bluestone pavement, and the same straight and criss-crossed ditches were dug on both sides of the road—these ditches would also be covered with bluestone slabs in the future to become culverts for drainage or water diversion.

On both sides of the ditch, there are patches of land enclosed by wooden fences. Several plots of land have been turned into construction sites, and busy workers are working hard under the direction of the foreman to erect brick and wood buildings. However, most of the plots enclosed by wooden fences are still empty, and they should be land for sale and under construction.

The "planning" of this commercial market is also similar to that of Jiehe Commercial Market, except that it does not adopt a "ring" layout, but adopts a traditional square layout. If you look down from the sky, you will find that the Haizhou commercial market is generally a rectangle, long from north to south, narrow from east to west, and the east side of the commercial market spreads along the coastline.

The part along the coastline will be developed into a wharf, which is also the most prosperous part of the planned Haizhou commercial market. But now, most of it is still a construction site, and the only building built is Linhaizhuang, where Pan Qiaolian married.

Linhaizhuang is now the headquarters of the "Haizhou Samurai", and it is also the residence of the "Donghaixing" main store, and Ximenqing is now sitting here.

When Wu Haogu, Huang Tingjian and the others entered the Haizhou Commercial Market, she was talking to Wu Chengchang who came from Luoyang Baibo.

Wu Chengchang is the eldest son of Wu Zhongyi, who has 561 jinshi in Jinke High School, and he is also the actual head of the Baibo martial arts family for many years.

Now his father has finally boiled up a penultimate jinshi, although he is the penultimate first, but he is also a jinshi! Even if you have to keep the election for an unknown amount of time to get a trial rank of county lieutenant, you can finally be considered an official. For the Hakubo Warrior Family, who has been in the doldrums for many years, it is undoubtedly great news.

However, Wu Chengchang, who had just become a "Yanei", was a little upset now.

The reason for his upset was that his Jinshi father found him a thirty-two-year-old "talented girl" stepmother......

"Tell me, tell me, our Baibo martial arts family is a righteous family, there has never been a daughter who remarried, there is no man who has committed a crime, why is it that he married a prostitute who came out of a green building now? It's okay to be a concubine, the eldest lady who is marrying Ming Media, even I have to call her my mother...... The face of the ancestors is about to be lost! ”

In fact, he was only in his thirties, and he saw that Wu Chengchang, who was almost fifty years old, was counting his father and stepmother in front of Ximen Qing in the guest hall.

Ximen Qing frowned slightly, crying and laughing.

This "old man" is not the first time to say that his parents are not in front of her, since he brought a group of hillbillies from Bai Boyimen to Haizhou, he has been complaining in front of Ximen Qing and Mi Youren. Everyone knows that Wu Zhongyi, the 561st Jinshi, has done something sorry for Wu Zetian. But then again, isn't Wu Zetian the daughter of remarriage? It seems that he still sleeps with his father first and then his son, and later raised a lot of faces...... People don't pick when they are empresses, what is there to be picky about a sesame big county lieutenant?

"Uncle Seven, you better look away, as long as the old people are happy, those of us who are juniors don't have to worry about it."

Ximen Qing can only persuade! And she was right, when Wu Zhongyi and that Shi Niangzi remarried, Ximen Qing had not left Kaifeng Mansion. So she knew that the relationship between Wu Lao Jinshi and his new wife Shi Niangzi was very good, almost to the point of glue. It is really rare that the relationship between an old husband and a young wife can be so good.

"Look away?" When Wu Chengchang heard this, tears were about to fall, "Eldest sister, you don't know...... Then, that stone lady is pregnant! ”

Ximen Qing was also shocked when he heard this, the old Jinshi's body was really good!

"I don't know whose it is!" Wu Chengchang then came again, "My father is so old, he actually returns, and he still ......."

"Well, it's okay to be sixty-six." Ximen Qing coughed, "But Shi Niangzi has to be careful, she is thirty-two years old before she is pregnant for the first time...... This is not small, and you have to prepare carefully according to Han Langzhong's method. ”

"Alas......" Wu Chengchang sighed, but he couldn't help but curse his stepmother for having a difficult birth and dying...... It's really a bit unfilial!

But in order to fight for family property, I can't take care of filial piety or unfilial piety, let alone any righteous and unrighteous people...... Before the old man Wu was a high school jinshi, the Baibo martial arts family was poor, so he didn't have any other thoughts. Let's huddle together!

But now, Bai Bo Yimen not only has Jinshi, but also has the broad relatives of the Kaifeng martial arts, and there is also the matter of settling in Haizhou. There are also many farmers who were destined to face the loess with their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives, but when they arrived in Kaifeng Mansion and Haizhou, they ate good things that they couldn't think of before, and they also saw women who made them salivate.

This person's heart has changed!

A bewitching and charming woman like Shi Niangzi, Wu Chengchang actually likes it from the bottom of his heart...... If his father becomes a corrupt official in the future, all the evil money and Shi Niangzi's family business can be inherited by himself, and then he will take the yellow-faced mother-in-law in the family and ask for something like Shi Niangzi!

In life, it should be good!

But if Shi Niangzi gives birth to a younger brother for him, then not only Shi Niangzi's own tens of thousands of dollars should be inherited by her own son, but even the money embezzled by Wu Zhongzhong will also be divided into half for her younger brother!

In case of...... Younger brothers have become younger brothers, so what can I do! How much money can you get in the future? Without money, wouldn't it really be hard for a lifetime? He is not a scholar like his father, he has no hope of being a jinshi at all, and if he can't get a jinshi, how can he get rich? Is it by farming?

Just when Wu Chengchang's soul was rapidly corroded by all evil money, Wu Haogu and his party had already met Mi Youren who was inspecting the construction site on the street of Haizhou Commercial Market.

"Ah, isn't this Brother Yin? Is Haizhou Commercial Market under your control now? ”

It was Pan Qiaolian who was questioned, and she was half riding a horse and half riding a car all the way. After entering the boundary of Qishan County, he has been riding forward. So at a glance, I saw Mi Youren wearing a green official uniform and wandering around with a few archers.

"Eighteen sisters? How did you come to Haizhou? Teacher...... You're here too! Student Mi Youren met the teacher. ”

As soon as Mi Youren turned around, he saw Pan Qiaolian and Wu Haogu at the same time, and hurriedly stepped forward to sing a fat song.

Wu Haogu nodded, then flipped off the horse, stood firmly on the ground, and then helped Pan Qiaolian off the horse.

"Yuan Hui, it's very good here!" Wu Haogu said to Mi Youren, "The construction is as fast, you haven't worked hard, right?" ”

The progress of the project in Haizhou Commercial Market has exceeded Wu Haogu's expectations, and in his mind, it must be Mi Youren, the "head snake", who has made a lot of efforts.

"Teacher, the student is just a county lieutenant," Mi Youren said with a smile, "How can you have such magical powers?" This is all thanks to the blessing of the previous revision. ”

Zeng Xiu refers to Zeng Zhao, he is Zeng Bu's younger brother, one of the famous Nanfeng Seven Zeng, there is a Jixian Hall to repair the pavilion, so it is called Zeng Xiu.

He is a good old man in officialdom, although he is Zeng Bu's younger brother, he is not a cadre of the new party, but is neutral between the two parties, and from time to time he also says a good word for the unlucky old party officials - if he does not have Zeng Bu's brother, he may be beaten as a traitor of the old party. But Zeng Bu is here, and no one dares to provoke him, a good old man.

So although he is not very useful, he has not been unlucky, and both the old and new parties have taken better care of him. Except for a short period of time in the court, he has always been allowed to be the governor of the local governor, and so far he has been the governor of 7 state capitals (there are still 7 state capitals waiting for him in history), and they are all quite good places.

So far, he has been a blessed official.

Originally, this blessed official should now go to Kaifeng Mansion to replace Zhang Shangying's scholar, but because of the edict of "degrading the official to Haizhou", he was able to stay in Haizhou for a few more months, and until now he still knows about Haizhou - because his brother Zeng Bu has already paid homage to the prime minister, he has to avoid suspicion, so this local official has to continue to be the official.

"Zeng Xiu has helped a lot," said Mi Youren, "and he helped recruit all the people who work here, and he also brought us dozens of boatloads of timber and masonry...... Teacher, look at these bluestone slabs, they were also raised with the help of the Haizhou Prefecture Ya. ”

"Then I have to thank Mr. Qufu (Zeng Zhao's number)."

Huang Tingjian, who was sitting in a carriage, had been helped out of the carriage by his concubine.

Mi Youren hurriedly saluted: "Fu Weng, you are here too...... Oh, you're here to meet Mr. Dongpo, right? ”

"Yes," Huang Tingjian asked with a smile, "Are my teacher and Mr. Ziyou okay?" ”

"Okay," Mi Youren smiled, "both old gentlemen are fine." ”

"Are they still in Yuntai Mountain?"

"Yes." Mi Youren nodded, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Ziyou sent someone yesterday to say that they are going to cross the sea together to visit Zeng Xiu in Qishan County today, and I don't know if it has arrived now." ”

"Really?" Huang Tingjian turned his head and said to Wu Haogu, "Chongdao, why don't we settle down and go to the state government in Qushan County...... The old man and Zeng Zikai haven't seen each other for some years. ”

The relationship between Huang Tingjian and Zeng Zhao is very good, the two are the same list of Jinshi in Zhiping for four years, and they both served in the Guozijian in the early years of Xining, and they are both famous for their poetry and writing, and their political ideas are also similar, so they are like-minded friends.
