Chapter 255: Giving gifts and asking for support)
Looking for it!
When he said this, Li Shouqi wanted to bite off his tongue.
This bragging must be a good idea!
This is a man who has no curriculum, but he dares to brag.
"My uncle, you'll blow your skin today!"
As soon as he left the mansion, Guo Yi directly exposed Li Shouqi's cowhide.
"You know, don't brag that, the old man must deal with me if he dies. If your old man deals with you like that, you will not dare to brag. Besides, how do you know that I'm bragging! Let me tell you, I really found the trick."
Leaving this sentence, Li Shouqi ordered Guo Yi.
"Dayi, look at finding a carriage to come over, let's go out to the city."
"Go out of the city? Master, can you want to go out and avoid the limelight? Or let's go to Lijiazhuang, where the mansion is..."
"What are you avoiding the limelight? Let me tell you that I am going to Shitaizhuang. You haven't seen that the coal business of the British government has been so good these days. This business was brought to them by the Shitaizhuang Doctor Shi. Let's go find him to show us a way of wealth."
What Li Shouqi said was straightforward.
"Finance? My uncle, let's go there empty-handedly."
"Look at what you said, I am such a polite person? Don't talk nonsense, go find a car!"
On the way to Shitaizhuang, Guo Yi asked the uncle beside him again.
"My master, have you really brought a gift?"
"Of course, I am such an ungrateful person?"
Knowing the politeness, when will you be a polite person?
"My master, I'll go this time, but let's ask him for help."
"I know, so I prepared a generous gift."
Where is the gift?
Guo Yi looked at the young master again, and he didn't seem to be carrying a gift on his body.
"Stop looking, I'm a generous gift, my baby!"
As he said this, Li Shouqi muttered.
"If I hadn't been asking him for something... I wouldn't have been willing to give up."
It took about half an hour to ride a carriage and finally arrived in Shitaizhuang. When it was almost time to reach the entrance of the village, the coachman stopped the car.
"Young Master, where is the road ahead? Look, am I waiting here, or?"
"Just wait here."
As soon as he got off the car, Li Shouqi was shocked by the farm in front of him.
"Brother Xiao, this farm is full of brick and tile houses!"
Guo Yi looked at Zhuangzi in surprise. The village was full of brick and tile houses, many of which were newly built this year.
"No, look at the people here, they are quite generous."
Looking at the road in the village, it was covered with black gravel. Not far away, there was a group of tenants busying themselves with stones upside down from the carriage, as if they were paving the road there.
"Paving the road with gravel stones... that Shi Tongzhi can remember it."
It’s not that I can remember it, but because of helplessness, although there is a stone pavement outside the Shitaizhuang Village, there is a dirt road in the village. After it rains, people stomped on the car and pressed it into a mud road. For this reason, Shi Yiwen has always had the idea of building a road, but how should the road be repaired?
Road problems also exist in industrial parks. Shi Yiwen considered many kinds of roads. In the end, a large amount of coal gangue in the coal mine fell into his eyes. Compared with stones, its hardness is lower, which is suitable for paving roads.
Because the amount of asphalt and cement are not enough to be used for paving roads, he used coal gangue to pave more than ten miles of gravel roads in industrial areas and new villages according to the method of later generations of building mud-corrosion pavements. This pavement formed by crushing and compacting is not as good as asphalt roads or cement roads, at least it will be said goodbye to the rain and become muddy dirt roads.
As the two walked along the road towards the village, they looked at the left and right curiously. The village seemed to be different from other places. They really couldn't explain clearly whether it was different.
“This road is flat.”
Standing on the gravel road, jumping hard, Li Shouqi said casually.
"It's true, I just don't know if this road can be soaked in rain."
Guo Yi also agreed. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone beside him say.
"It's okay in the short term. The lifespan of this road is only a few years. After two years, the asphalt will be saved, and then it will be paved into asphalt roads."
The person who spoke was either someone else, or Shi Yiwen. He had been rectifying the village in the past two days, planning the village, not just roads, but also planning facilities such as the small park by the pond. After all, this is his home. Since it is a home, it always takes some effort. He even re-planned a new garden for himself near the pond, just waiting for the opportunity to build it again in the future.
Just as I was about to go home, I heard the words of the person in front of me and naturally said casually.
"asphalt?"
"Yes, it's the rest when coking."
It was just that there were not many, otherwise the asphalt road would have been laid out long ago. Shi Yiwen muttered in his heart, looked at the two people in front of him and asked casually.
"You guys come here, but what's wrong?"
"Ah, this young master, this is our young master who came to visit Shi Langzhong. I wonder if Shi Langzhong can be in the village?"
Guo Yi hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Oh? Looking for me?"
Shi Yiwen was stunned.
"Are you Langzhong Shi?"
Li Shouqi looked at the man who looked two or three years younger than him. Although he knew he was young, he didn't expect that he was so young.
"Yes, I am, are you?"
"Oh, here is Li Shouqi, the boss of Xiangcheng, who has heard about the name of the Daming of the Langzhong Shi for a long time. He came to visit him specially. In addition to taking the liberty, please forgive me."
Oh, he is actually another nobleman. In short, he has known several great ministers since his time travel, but he is the first of the great ministers who came to him on his own initiative. However, Shi Yiwen was not surprised by the great ministers' visit. After all, if he had made such a big noise in the suburbs of Beijing, if they had not attracted their attention, then these great ministers would be too unrealistic.
It is reasonable that someone comes to the door now.
Xiangcheng Bo... Although it is not a good name, his status is not high or low, which is appropriate.
Seeing that he was so polite, Shi Yiwen naturally returned the gift politely. Then he invited them into the house.
After entering the house, Shi Yiwen politely asked him to sit down again, and then asked with a smile after the servants served tea.
"I wonder what Brother Li is asking for me?"
"Oh, I met Brother Weiliang from the Duke of England this morning. I heard Brother Weiliang say that Brother Shi is a good brother who values friendship and loyalty. I like the one who is the most like Brother, so I came here to visit him and ask me for forgiveness."
While speaking, Li Shouqi had already taken out a book from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
"A mere polite gift is not worthy of respect, so please accept it with a smile, Brother Xian."
Almost the moment my uncle took out the book, Guo Yi's face suddenly changed when he saw the book.
