Is this big?

For drunkards like Ma Qiao and others, this is of course big, it is simply ridiculously big. Are you opening a restaurant, or are you planning to build a palace?

But what about Li Qi, the first rank of the imperial court?

This really depends on the person.

If this villa belongs to Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others, it would make sense. They have so much land that it would make the emperor stunned, and they employ people for public benefit. It can be said that if Wang Fu is in his

In its heyday, he would not have spent a penny to build such a villa.

But Li Qi is not Wang Fu, although he is not a clean person. After all, he has received many gifts. But the difference between him and Wang Fu and other treacherous ministers is that Wang Fu and others only care about money when doing things, and do not care about anything else.

Li Qi received the gift first. As for whether to do something or not, it depends on what it is. If it was originally in his plan, then it is fine. Regardless of whether you give it or not, I will do it. I don’t want this gift to be in vain.

, but if not, I'm really sorry, because in his philosophy, there is no equal sign between receiving gifts and doing things, there is only a matter of politeness.

In addition, even Li Qi will not exploit the people like Wang Fu and others. Since it is business, he will use business methods to do it.

Of course, he also took a lot of credit in this, because he formulated the policy, and he was certainly able to stay one step ahead.

When Li Qi decided to build a restaurant in Jiangnan, Jiangnan had just experienced a major disaster, the Fangla Uprising. At that time, the situation in Jiangnan was turbulent, land prices had dropped extremely, and manpower and material resources were very, very cheap.

The collapse of the economic system and the destruction of farmland have left people in Jiangnan facing the dilemma of unemployment. Many people have starved to death or left their hometowns. At that time, let alone wages, if you give them food, you will be your father.

.

At this time, Carpenter Tian, ​​Bai Qiannuo and others went south one after another with a large amount of money. As soon as the recruitment notice was posted outside, the craftsmen poured in like a tide, all shouting that they don’t want money, you

Just have some food.

For Li Qi, this is really a huge profit. Of course, if he is more ruthless, he can make more, but he also shoulders the mission of revitalizing Jiangnan, and he must use this to drive Hangzhou's economy, so he

At that time, I was paid wages. Anyway, there are many wealthy shareholders in this villa, so the wages were not very much evenly divided.

If it were built now, the cost would have doubled at least several times. With Li Qi's strength at the time, it would have been impossible to build a villa of this size unless he gave up his status as the major shareholder.

Because at the beginning, under Li Qi's promotion, groups of wealthy businessmen went south to hunt for gold, and Cai Minde was the leader among them. It was precisely because of the existence of these people that a large amount of money poured into Jiangnan. And under Li Qi's policies, the goods also

It has become extremely cheap. Under this dual stimulus, Jiangnan is changing almost every day, and the speed of economic growth is overwhelming.

Today's Hangzhou is probably no less generous than Bianliang. Because of the disaster a year ago, Jiangnan was not harmed at all, and it was precisely because of the Jin soldiers going south that many wealthy men north of the Yangtze River fled to

Jiangnan has further stimulated Jiangnan's economy. Now the people here really live and work in peace and contentment. Compared with Jiangnan five years ago, it was really the difference between heaven and hell.

Mrs. Qin stood in the square and looked around. She saw that this place was very similar to Xiangguo Temple. There were shops everywhere, just like a market, but here there were more reasonable arrangements, both in terms of layout and the flow of people.

The distribution was very coordinated, and I didn't feel crowded. I couldn't help but said to Li Qi: "You can tell from this that it was your idea?"

Li Qi shook his head coquettishly and said with a smile: "Thank you, madam. I just mentioned a few words to Carpenter Tian and the others. It's really not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."

Master Li chuckled and said, "You misunderstood. Sanniang said this because she smelled a strong smell of copper as soon as she entered the door."

Li Qi's proud face immediately fell down. Although he couldn't see Mrs. Qin's face, he still keenly caught the narrow smile in Mrs. Qin's eyes, and said sadly: "A woman's face

See, this is a selfless act on my part.”

Mrs. Qin asked in surprise: "Don't you charge their rent?"

"That --- of course not." Li Qidao said: "If I don't charge their rent, it violates economic principles. Can you still expect them to work so hard to make money? But they will definitely not lose money. You have to understand one thing.

, in this world, there is only a wrong purchase, not a wrong sale. Think about it, with such an unprecedented villa with complete supporting facilities, there must be countless guests coming and going, and they can live here.

, which one is not a rich owner? Their business must be much better than that of other places. In other words, how many people have been blessed by my Zuixian Villa! Still smell of copper? You spread it out a little bit.

Shall I take a look?"

Mrs. Qin, Master Li was speechless when Li Qi said that, and a blush appeared on his face.

Carpenter Tian whispered: "Your Majesty is right. Now all the shopkeepers here are making a lot of money. We are still discussing the rent increase after the contract expires."

Mrs. Qin frowned slightly and said, "That's it---."

Li Qi was the first to say: "Add, we must add, we can do good deeds, but we are definitely not the ones who come to our door to be exploited. Now that Jiangnan's entire economy has fully recovered, if we still do things at the previous price, we will have to be exploited by others."

You're laughing at us for being stupid. Madam, please don't make trouble for me here. You said before that you don't care about business matters."

Mrs. Qin waved her hands repeatedly and said: "That's it, that's all, I just don't care."

A group of people walked around the flower bed and walked inside, but just after passing the flower bed, they suddenly heard a burst of popping noises, and in a daze, they saw white shadows passing by in their eyes.

"Oh---!"

Mrs. Qin and Master Li were both frightened. They covered their faces with one hand and turned pale with fright.

Carpenter Tian hurriedly said: "Madam, don't be afraid, this is just a white pigeon."

White pigeons? Mrs. Qin, Master Li put down her hand and saw more than twenty or thirty white pigeons flying up and hovering in the sky, very graceful.

Mrs. Qin was stunned when she saw it, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Obviously she also loved these white pigeons very much. She asked: "Who raised this---who raised these pigeons?"

Carpenter Tian said: "We raised them ourselves, oh, this is also what the adults ordered."

Mrs. Qin turned to look at Li Qi again, and found this guy hiding behind and snickering, so she couldn't help but give him a rollicking look.

Li Qi quickly suppressed his smile. He coughed lightly and said, "The white dove represents peace and friendship, and it can also bring life to Zuixian Villa. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Li Shishi raised his head and looked at the white doves hovering in the sky, hummed and said, "It's really beautiful."

Chen Xiaozhu said: "Madam, you don't know something. Nowadays, many people like to come here to feed and watch pigeons, including the residents here. This can be said to be a major feature of our Zuixian Villa."

Master Li lowered his head and said, "But aren't you afraid that someone will come here to steal the pigeons?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "If someone really dares to do something, I will really admire his courage. I hope that this person will appear, so that I can kill the chicken and show it to the monkey, and by the way, let people see our Zuixianju."

Terrifying strength."

Chen Dazhu said: "From the first day of the construction of Zuixian Villa, no one dared to cause trouble here."

Master Li nodded, knowing very well that whoever offends Li Qi these days may be in torment for the rest of his life.

At this time, a servant brought some pigeon food. Li Qi smiled and said: "Madam, Miss Shishi, Shi Niang, do you want to try it?" It turned out that he had just secretly winked at Tian Carpenter, and Tian Carpenter understood it.

, and immediately asked someone to get some pigeon food.

Mrs. Qin was quite interested in these things, so she took some food and threw it into the air. She heard the sound of flapping, and more than a dozen pigeons fell down.

Li Shishi looked amused, and he and Liu Yunxi also took some food and threw it out, and a dozen more pigeons landed.

Several women looked at the white pigeons grabbing food on the ground, and they all showed happy smiles. They forgot about everything, until Carpenter Tian reminded them, and they continued to walk inside.

"Hello, Carpenter Tian!"

"Hey! Carpenter Tian, ​​Master Chen, you are such a distinguished guest. I want you to come out to greet me in person."

"Hey, look, aren't those Carpenter Tian and Master Erchen? Who are they?"

......．

Along the way, the passing guests greeted Carpenter Tian one after another. Judging from their expressions, Carpenter Tian seemed to have become an important member of the party.

These people never thought that once upon a time, these three people were just a few refugees who were about to starve to death.

Ma Qiao chuckled and said, "Old Tian, ​​you are quite famous here. Everyone knows you."

Tian Carpenter was originally a relatively honest person. His status had risen so quickly that he was a little uncomfortable with it. Now that Li Qi and the others were here again, he felt even more embarrassed. He said with an honest smile: "Brother Ma is joking.

.”

Li Qi whispered: "Maqiao, stop teasing Carpenter Tian. Look at how embarrassed I am."

Ma Qiao said in confusion: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Being famous is a good thing."

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Because the square was so big, a few people walked for a while and suddenly felt a majestic force and a shadow overwhelm them.

A group of people couldn't help but stopped, looked up, and immediately turned to stone.

But not far away is a large-scale, majestic, majestic and dignified tall building. In fact, it should be more appropriately described as a castle.

It is said to be one castle, but it is actually three castles connected together. The middle one is particularly tall and has four floors in total. The left and right sides have three floors each. They are very symmetrical. Each floor is connected by a horizontal aisle.

The higher you look, the scarier it becomes. It is about twenty meters long. Because it is built of large stones, the height of each floor is more than double the height of the current building.

Mrs. Qin and Master Li, who were used to seeing pavilions and pavilions, were frightened when they suddenly saw such a huge creature. Their lips were slightly opened and their eyes were wide open. They looked so cute.

This is completely modeled after the ancient Roman castle, and the emphasis is on momentum.

In ancient China, beam and column frame structures were used, and the building materials were mainly wood. The weight of the house was supported by the pillars, and the walls were not load-bearing. Therefore, there is a saying that "the house will not collapse if the wall collapses." But it is precisely because of this

, no matter how tall a Chinese palace building is, its height and style must be limited by the length of the wood, so buildings with Chinese characteristics pay attention to delicacy, beauty, and poetry.

However, Western buildings are mostly made of stone, and the main building materials are masonry, which emphasizes grandeur.

If ancient Chinese architecture is compared to a poet, then ancient Roman architecture is like a strong man covered in muscles.

"Is this---is this---a castle?"

Standing under the castle and speaking, Mrs. Qin's voice became a little trembling.

Chen Xiaozhu replied: "Madam, this place is mainly for guests to live in."

Li Qi smiled and said: "The first floor of the middle building is a banquet hall for holding banquets, and the first floor on the left is a conference hall. Some business groups come here to do business and hold meetings or something.
