"This, what is my little brother good at...... There are quite a lot, for example, I like to learn from others, I am good at accepting people's words, and what is good with others......" Li Xuan thought about it very seriously for a long time, and began to count it with his fingers.

In this regard, Duan Shaojun kept complaining with the words of this guy. Learning from others is that you have no opinions, and you are good at accepting people's words and even have soft ears, and being kind to others is not bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?

"How? Little brother, I still have a lot of advantages, right? After Li Xuan counted for a long time, he was very complacent.

"Actually, you have two other advantages that you haven't even discovered yourself." Duan Shaojun put on a sincere expression and said to Li Xuan very seriously.

"What other good do I have? Brother, you are here quickly. Li Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks and asking.

"First, keep the house, and second, be nostalgic." Duan Shaojun cocked two middle fingers, uh, no, he first cocked a middle finger, and then slowly cocked an index finger.

"Keeping home? Nostalgia? Li Xuan looked confused, why didn't he find out that this was a compliment to the merits?

"Of course, you have the ability to squat in your room for seven or eight hours a day and not go out; As for nostalgia, don't you think that bed is a psychological manifestation of nostalgia? Duan Shaojun laughed for a long time before explaining.

#####

Li Xuan stared at this smiling crooked person with a black line on his face, and only glanced at Duan Shaojun with a white face for a long time. "Brother, can you be serious."

"Okay, let's not talk about your merits, let's get down to business. How much did you manage on that ship? Duan Shaojun, who was well-versed in thoughts, took a sip of tea, gathered the cloak on his body, and asked Li Xuan.

"I have got a big ship of 700 materials and two big ships of 500 materials, but I still have to wait for 1,000 materials, the big ship of 1,000 materials I got last time is in Quanzhou Port, and your design is being transformed according to Brother Tai."

"The progress is good, the fleet we expected at the beginning was two ships with thousands of materials, two ships with seven hundred materials and four ships with five hundred materials, and now, there are still half of the ships missing. This progress needs to be stepped up a little more, and if the money is not enough, it will be added. Duan Shaojun nodded and said with satisfaction.

"There is no shortage for the time being, Miss Xu also said the day before yesterday that there is still about 100,000 or so cash silver, which should be enough to pay for the construction of the ship."

"By the way, do you know anyone in Guangzhou?"

"No, what's wrong? Is there something going on over there in Guangzhou? Li Xuan was stunned.

"The people we assigned to the past have just received news that they have found a site about a mile at the mouth of the Pearl River in the south of Guangzhou, which is very suitable for building a wharf. Originally, the government asked for 50,000 taels, and the attitude was very blunt, looking like he wanted to love it or not. This made the people we sent there not progress, but more than ten days ago, the official government suddenly changed its tone, and we only used 10,000 taels of silver to purchase that large piece of land, and in addition, we also gave away about a lot of land for free. ”

"Moreover, the government also patted its chest and promised that what our people were doing there, whether it was a lack of labor, a worker, or a sailor, whatever was lacking, they could help us find a way. Our people are so enthusiastic that they think that the Guangzhou government wants to do something to them. ”

Hearing Duan Shaojun say this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be confused. "No, could it be that Hu Junshou or General Zhao knows someone from Guangzhou?"

Seeing this guy's stunned appearance, Duan Shaojun, who knew that he had asked the wrong person, rolled his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head. "Even if General Zhao and Hu Junshou know each other, it is impossible for the other party to become so low-voiced, right?"

After Duan Shaojun voiced his doubts, he saw a senior brother hurrying by, his shiny bald head still shining even in the cold. I can't help but light up my eyes, I'm afraid that there is a ** should be the master who is making trouble behind, I'm afraid that he is the only one who has this ability, Li Xuan, this kid is still a little tender, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a powerless and powerless empty tube.

Maybe someone else can sell him a little face on an inconsequential issue, but when it comes to interests, it will definitely be perfunctory. The abbot of the dream is different, as long as he changes his robe into a fur coat and puts on a sable hat, he is definitely a mountain carving at the level of the Son of Heaven in Jiangnan.

After thinking about it clearly, since Shizun was willing to come forward to help secretly, it would naturally be better, and Duan Shaojun didn't bother to continue to spend his brains on this issue.

Why buy land, of course, it is better to buy a ship than to build your own ship, have your own dock, have your own ship, and have your own trading platform, which is the best thing, so that it is not easy to be held by others.

The two were bragging about their kung fu, but they saw Hu Junshou coming on horseback. As soon as I inquired, I found out that the weather suddenly turned cold today. Hu Junshou was worried that his son would be frozen. Of course, on the surface, he was worried about the heating problem of the master and a group of monks, so he decided to send a batch of charcoal and peat to the mountain. Passing by here, by the way, I asked Duan Shaojun if they had gone over to meet the abbot of Mengfu together.

The senior brother also felt that there were no patients today, so he simply sent Duan Shaojun up the mountain to visit the master, of course, in the name of asking the master to inspect your studies. In desperation, Duan Shaojun dragged the reluctant Li Xuan with Hu Junshou to the Hidden Dragon Temple.

The Hidden Dragon Temple is built on the mountain, and the altitude of the ground is nearly 300 meters apart, such a height difference, coupled with the strong wind on the mountain, only halfway up the mountain, it feels colder than the foot of the mountain.

"Why do you feel a lot colder this time, my hand, my hands are almost frozen." Li Xuan's hands frequently changed the reins of the horse, and he kept nagging.

"The bottom of the mountain hasn't frozen yet, and the leaves here are already frozen, so it's naturally much colder." Duan Shaojun was no better, sitting on horseback and shrinking his head. "I don't know if those two guys can stand it."

Well, when I came to the temple, I saw Hu Xiaoniang and Chen Jian squatting together, smoking snot and roasting the fire in the side courtyard of the temple. Not only them, but several monks also have a tendency to catch a cold.

I didn't see Shizun, but when I inquired, I learned that Shizun was also occasionally feeling cold and unwell, and was resting in the quiet room.

"You guys are here, Hu Junshou doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. Alas, the weather suddenly changed, yesterday was still warm and the sun was shining, today the outside of the temple has been frozen everywhere, cold like this. Sitting in front of the couch, the abbot of the dream, who was drinking medicine, said with a smile.

Well, although his face is a little pale, his complexion is still good. Inside the quiet room, there is a copper stove, and the charcoal fire in the copper furnace is radiating heat wantonly, although it can't make the room like a spring March, but at least it is a little warmer.

But it's a lot of carbon. The important thing is that it is easy to use this thing in a confined space for carbon monoxide poisoning, and it is nothing if it is saved in time, and if it is not saved in time, it is possible to become a fool or a vegetative person, and if it is not timely, you can only light the three pillars of incense to remember.

"Master, since it's so cold on the mountain, why don't you get a kang or a fireplace or something, it's too difficult to survive the winter, right?" Duan Shaojun moved his butt in, and the winter coat he bought early in the morning, that is, he stuffed cotton into the mezzanine to get it.

Of course, this is a mid-range product, the high-end goods are directly on the fur, and the low-end goods are stuffed with reeds and other things in the mezzanine.

"Ondol? What's that? You're not talking about earth dragons, are you? It's hard to get, it's a waste of fuel, and it's just a person who cultivates outside the world, so how can you use that kind of thing, but what is this fireplace? The abbot asked curiously.

"The fire kang is not a dragon, but the kind of good thing that can be warmed for several hours by burning some straw and straw, as for the fireplace, it is even simpler, for example, this mud wall in your quiet room, build a burning place in it, and connect a chimney on it, so that the whole wall can be warmed by the heat of the fire, so that the indoor temperature can also be greatly improved, and importantly, it will not be disturbed by carbon poisoning."

"Simple?" Duan Shaojun's words really made the abbot of the dream puzzled.

"Of course, it's very simple, for example, Master, your house, if you want to renovate the fireplace, you only need to install a chimney, and then add a fireplace against the wall, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, three or five people can repair it in a day's work." Duan Shaojun nodded and replied.
