"I don't want to die so early." Ma Zhou looked at the willows on both sides of Guangyuntan on Changlepo, a little dazed and dazed.

“The scenery here is good. Don’t you set up a separate courtyard here?

Ma Zhou shook his head, "I'm not as luxurious as you." Although he has become prime minister now, Ma Zhou has been an official for only a few years. When he first arrived in Chang'an, he could only live in a hotel, and later he could not afford the store. Later, he was appreciated by Qin Lang and invited him to become a guest in the Qin Mansion and then to serve in the tutoring office, but that salary was not much.

I can’t buy a house in Chang'an for my entire life by relying on my salary.

Chang'an is big and it is not easy to live in.

Later, he was appreciated and promoted by the emperor, so he could only rent a small courtyard in Qin Lang. In the end, the emperor specially borrowed a reward for him to buy a house, so that he could have his own house in Chang'an City. This was lucky to be more than 99% of Chang'an scholars.

The higher the official position, the higher the salary, and the more it is, but after all, he is a shorter official, and he is not good at financial management. The mansion also hires coachman, ma, servant, and the chef, laundry, etc., which is also a lot of expenses. In addition, he also has a hobby of buying books, which is very expensive. Sometimes, some fellow villagers from his hometown come to him and have to help. The tribe members in his hometown often have to send some money back.

Nowadays, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Ma Binwang is a moonlight clan. Compared to Qin Lang, who is also prime minister, who is rich and wealthy, Ma Zhou is far inferior to that of the country.

Changlepo is another rich villa area in the capital. Qin Lang not only has the top villa manor in Changlepo, but even more than one. The vacation and leisure village he built in Xianyang was very successful and has made a lot of money in recent years. So he also started real estate development in the Yuchan River Ba River on Changlepo and ate a large area of ​​land.

It was originally some worthless river beach wastelands and slopes. Qin Lang spent some money and struggled for more than a year to undergo a brand-new renovation. Not only did he create tens of thousands of acres of rice fields along the river, but he even built a Rice Flower Fragrance Resort among these rice fields.

The fragrance of rice flowers talks about good harvests, and listens to the sound of frogs.

The lotus pond is in the moonlight, rafting on the water.

Like Qin Lang's Qin's Wood Industry, because of its novel business philosophy, Qin Lang's villa resort is very popular. Some are for sale and some are for rent. Elegant, quiet and comfortable enjoyment makes the noble officials of the capital flock to it.

Especially for some officials who come to Beijing to serve as officials from other places, they are not able to buy property when they first come, so they have long-term or short-term rentals. When they have free time, the whole family will come to stay for a few days and relax. They can enjoy elegant comfort without spending too much. Of course, it is a good choice.

Some nobles and wealthy families who are not short of money are happy about the design here. They are not short of money anyway, so they just buy it. Although it costs more than building it yourself, it is hard to buy happiness with money.

Surrounded by the Guangyun Pond, this place has now become the most lively place outside Chang'an City. Not only is the prosperous industry and commerce, but it is also a rare popular place, integrating shopping, entertainment and leisure, which is equivalent to another Pingkangfang. It is also larger than Pingkangfang, with a more beautiful scene, and not as many restrictions in the city.

The Qin family built a polo stadium larger than that in Chang'an City, and a racecourse. Every time the ten-day break, the polo and horse racing competitions here can welcome countless spectators, not to mention that gambling such as horse tickets will also be booming.

Many brothels and Chu Pavilions were built beside the Guangyun Pond, and even many exquisite pleasure boats and singers were found on the water. Many high-end restaurants and hotels were also built here, and the business was better than in Chang'an City.

After all, there are still many restrictions in Chang'an City. Even though the Jingzhao Prefecture Office, which is currently hosted by the East Palace, is promoting the demolition of walls, developing shopping streets, and markets, how can Changlepo be more free?

In recent years, under the guidance and planning of wealthy families such as the Qin family and the Changsun family, Changlepo has been called Xiao Chang'an, with tens of thousands of merchants and 100,000 craftsmen and slaves focusing on this place.

The nobles also like to build manors and rent villas here, free and unrestrained.

Ma Zhou knew that Qin Lang was the designer of this little Chang'an, and he also knew how much he had to speak in this place, and he also knew how much wealth this place brought to Qin Lang every day.

But Ma Zhou would not envy these things. For him, when he was poor, I was me and did not hate poverty. When he was rich, I was still me and did not worship wealth.

Zhang Xuansu, the youngest secretary of the Eastern Palace, came from a poor family. He was once an official in the Sui Dynasty and was deeply ashamed. He was once asked about his origin at a court banquet and his face was flushed with shame. The emperor asked him what he was in the previous dynasty, and he said he was a county lieutenant. He asked him what he was doing before the county lieutenant, but he said he was not a good person, and he asked him what he was doing. Zhang Xuansu couldn't answer and was shaking when he finished the banquet.

Ma Zhou is different. He was also a down-and-out scholar and relied on studying hard. Although he was a foreign official like a teaching assistant in the state school, he later gave up his job and went on a study trip, owed hotel fees, and paid for bars and wine. He was also whipped by Marquis Wu for violating the ban. Later, he was a disciple of Qin Lang. However, no matter who he was facing, Ma Zhou never had any taboos about these things.

In this regard, Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, is very similar to Ma Zhou. Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, was the first top scholar in the Tang Dynasty, but he had already passed the imperial examination and served as an official in the Sui Dynasty. However, before becoming an official, he was also a foreign official.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he came to take the imperial examinations again and became an official again. He gradually became the position of the Censor, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Minister of Dali Temple. He also participated in the title of court and became the prime minister.

"Look at how green the rice fields are. After a while, the rice seedlings will grow and the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers, and my rice fish will grow more plump."

Ma Zhou looked at the green rice fields and admired Qin Lang's ability. This was originally a low-lying river beach that no one cared about, many were even waterlogged land, and some were all gravel lands, but Qin Lang boldly bought these broken lands.

Then he invested a lot of money and attracted many people to work. He first cleaned the river and strengthened the embankment, and then built the land into polder fields, terraced fields, and the silt cleared from the river to fill the depressions, and the stones dug were used to strengthen the embankment and lift the fields. When the waterlogging problem was solved, the fields became fertile fields.

Many ponds were also surrounded, and lotus roots were planted to raise fish and ducks. A chicken farm, sheep pen and pig pen were built beside the rice fields behind the dike slope. The fish ponds can not only store water and prevent floods during flooding, but also irrigate the fields during drought. Not to mention that the feces such as chickens and ducks can also be fertilized. The mulberry trees planted on the dikes along the ridges and canals can not only feed silkworms, but also make winter feed for sheep.

Qin Lang even raised fish in his rice fields. The name of rice-flowered fish is still famous in Chang'an. These fish are sold much more expensive than ordinary fish.

Although Qin Lang invested a lot of money, his annual income was also high. He could make a profit in less than a few years, and he would make a net profit in the future.

"In recent years, you have turned waste into treasures everywhere, and many fertile land have been added around Chang'an. Now many nobles and wealthy families have learned from you."

Qin Lang just smiled and didn't mind others imitating him. When he first tried this ecological breeding and cultivation model in Sanyuan, the Hongfu girl from Li Jing's family stared at him and learned.

Let him go, what are you afraid of?

Qin Lang used to do breeding, but in the past two years, there have been more and more breeding in the inner and outer gates. Qin Lang has now reduced his own chicken farms and duck farms. He has focused on incubating and breeding seedlings. Other families keep up with farming farms everywhere, and the Qin family has begun to provide seedlings.

He turned to research on feed and veterinary medicine.

When everyone followed the trend to breed, the Qin family had turned around, incubated seedlings, feed veterinary medicine, and fumigation processing. When some people also began to follow the trend to engage in incubation and breeding, and also feed, the Qin family had already achieved scale, with stronger technology, lower costs, and larger scale, and seized the main market share.

Others raise pigs, but the Qin family's pig farming industry has achieved the entire industrial chain from seed selection, breeding, feeding, feeding, veterinary medicine, slaughtering, sales, and reprocessing.

Even a brush factory using pig bristles, a leather shoe factory using pig skin and a leather jacket lining factory.

The root strips of the bristle are uniform, moderate hardness, high oiliness, good toughness, heat, humidity, acid resistance, wear resistance, and are not easy to bend, wind, and break. They are an excellent material for making various brushes.

Ma Zhou smiled and shook his head, drank the last little wine in the glass, and then put down the glass reluctantly, and wanted to drink it again. Qin Lang had already asked someone to put away all the wine, so he was only allowed to drink this glass.

"Sanlang, do you know that nowadays, merchants in Chang'an like to worship the Heavenly King Temple? Many people even invited your Heavenly King statue home to offer it alone?"

Qin Lang curled his lips, how could he not know?

In the beginning, due to his contribution to the fight against locusts and disasters, the Heavenly King Temple was erected in Longyou, called the Heavenly King of Locusts and replaced the Locust Temple to worship. This incident shocked the emperor. In the end, the emperor also recognized the behavior of the people, recognized the position of the Heavenly King of Qin Lang, and even listed the two of them as the country's official sacrifices. The country sacrificed the two of them every year, which was equivalent to officially replacing the former Locust God and the insect king.

All over the world, especially in Guanlong and Central Plains, Tianwang Temple is blooming everywhere. After all, everyone has a deep understanding of the horror of locust plague. Every time every three years, every ten years, and a major plague in the locust plague, it is really a cry. But since Qin Lang presided over the fight against locusts and created many locusts to control and prevent locust plagues, there have been few more major locust plagues that swept the prefectures and counties.

Nowadays, locusts have become a delicacy for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone was very grateful to Qin Lang and built Tianwang Temple to suppress the insect king. Of course, Qin Lang later introduced the method of human acne in the name of the God of Medicine, so that acne plague can no longer harm children. In recent years, the method of human acne was upgraded to a method of vaccination, making acne safer and a higher rate of vaccination. Now acne plague can no longer take away children's lives on a large scale. The Tang Dynasty court established special epidemic prevention centers in various places, and regularly regularly receives acne for children every year to prevent the epidemic.

The Tianwang Temple was therefore worshipped by more people and further built to the south.

The merchants in Chang'an even worship Qin Lang as the God of Wealth. Even at home, they said that Qin Lang has a good reputation for making money.

Some smart businessmen painted the portraits of Qin Lang and his kings in the Heavenly King Temple for sale, saying that Qin Taiwei and his kings were the emperor's door gods. As long as they asked the portrait home and posted them on the door, they could suppress demons and ward off evil spirits.

Qin Lang is simply omnipotent. Those who seek wealth worship Qin Lang, and those who invite peace worship Qin Lang. It is even said that some people no longer pray to Guanyin for their children, and have also gone to the Heavenly King Temple to worship the little Qin Tianwang.

"Sanlang, I really admire you. Martial arts can stabilize the country, literary talent, and people who are able to help the world and benefit the people. If you can use these great talents more in the court, wouldn't it be better? Why would you always spend a lot of energy on the small family? With your current wealth, you have enough for ten lives, why do you always like to make money so much?" Ma Zhou was very puzzled.
