Chapter 352 Disagreement between the two sides
The Ji family building is a large area of 1,000 square and 1,000 square and 1,000 square and 1,000 square and 1,000 square and 1,000 square and 1,000 square feet high.
"A whole building is there?" Gu Ershao asked.
Young Master Ji nodded proudly. Such a grand building belongs to their Ji family.
His father said that the Ji family invested 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver in this building, and a lot of valuable consumables.
At first he thought it was expensive. In Chang'an, he could buy a good mansion.
But now he sees the real buildings and unique appearance on the commercial street to the south, and it feels very worth it.
"It's so majestic." Gu Ershao exclaimed.
Young Master Ji deeply felt the same.
After staying in Houcheng for a few days, the two found that the outer city of Houcheng was well built, neatly planned, simple and elegant, and pleasant to see.
Later they heard that the outline of the entire outer city of Houcheng was designed by the masters from Suzhou who were invited by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to spend a lot of money.
Gu Ershao looked around and saw the entire Xisu Industrial Park, the Ji Family Commercial Building and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Building, the most eye-catching.
Apart from these two buildings, if we can compare the entire four outer city districts, the only ones that can compare to them are Houcheng County Magistrate's Office and Liaodong Academy.
The Houcheng County Magistrate's Mansion covers a large area, and the main buildings include the lobby, two halls, three halls, the Daxian Temple, the kitchen courtyard, the backyard of the government office, the prison cell, etc.
The entire county magistrate's office adopts a design of five rooms and seven frames. The eaves of the lobby are designed as rolled sheds. The main building uses the method of hooking and connecting the gutters, pots and rafters.
The overall look is simple, low-key and solemn and elegant.
The newly completed Liaodong Academy also covers a large area, but the architecture of the academy pays more attention to the artistic conception of books.
Looking at this commercial building with the elephant emblem of the Ji family, Gu Ershao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the trade route of Ji's family in Liaodong County had been opened.
Ji Daxiu is worthy of being the richest man in the south, and his sense of business and business vision are as good as ever.
When I met Wu Ren later, Gu Ershao asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Wu, can you help me ask the government, can our Gu family build a commercial building with family characteristics in Houcheng with the same family characteristics as Ji family?"
At this time, Young Master Ji was standing aside, as if he didn't care, but was actually pricking his ears.
Wu Ren glanced at Master Ji, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't reply to you immediately, wait for my news."
He knew that Gu Ersen now tests this and will ask for the same treatment as Ji's family later.
But he knew that his master's attitude towards Ji Wuyin was definitely not as good as Gu's current one.
In the words of his master, Ji Wuyin was the first person to take the risk of betting with them. If they win and eat big meat, they must let Ji eat the first bite of soup, right? If they make the right choice, they should get rewards.
Gu Ershao nodded and smiled, "I wonder if Manager Wu can reveal how likely this is?"
"I believe Mr. Gu also knows that the outline of the entire outer city of Houcheng was designed by Master Suzhou, and it is difficult to change the design now." Wu Ren continued to practice Tai Chi.
"Shopkeeper Wu, we are not an outsider, so can't we give you a correct statement?" Gu Ershao joked with a little dissatisfaction.
Seeing that he insisted on knowing the answer, Wu Ren also said bluntly, "Of course this is possible. According to my estimate, Gu's family wants to build a commercial building with family characteristics like Ji's family in Houcheng. It is not very good. If it is a little smaller, there will be no big problem."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, for being honest, I understand." Gu Ershao still smiled, but the smile on his face could be seen as a little forced.
Wu Ren's heart was slightly calmer, and he knew that Gu Er was dissatisfied.
Forget it, the master said that even a bird is worse than a bird in the forest. The cooperation between the Liaodong County and the Ji family is very harmonious. Although the Gu family was once the first family in the southern region, they have never cooperated. So it is not normal for them to be equal to the two, and it is not normal for them to be more serious than the two?
Wu Ren's words made Young Master Ji very happy.
Wu Ren received them for dinner before leaving. After he left, he went directly to the county magistrate's mansion.
Mr. Ji and Mr. Gu returned to the temporarily settled house together.
Gu Ershao’s yard arrived first. Master Ji nodded to him and wanted to continue moving forward, but he stopped him, "Brother Ji, it's still early, come in and have some tea?"
Master Ji agreed, and he also wanted to know what he was selling in the gourd.
Gu Ershao poured him a cup of tea, "Brother Ji, it's been a few days since we've been to Houcheng. Should we go back?"
Master Ji was surprised. Before leaving, his father gave him a lot of money and asked him to invest money when he saw a good project. As for now, he has not spent half of the money.
He didn't believe that Young Master Gu did not tell Gu Er so, and asked him to watch and vote a little.
"Have you finished what Young Master Gu told you?" asked Master Ji.
Of course, Gu Ershao knew what he meant, so he said bluntly, "Liaodong County is connected to the Xianbei grassland, and Houcheng is even closer to the Xianbei grassland, which is actually not an ideal area for investment."
Mr. Ji agreed with this.
Gu Ershao was excited and continued, "And Houcheng represented Dali and the Xianbei royal court only signed a three-year peace agreement. What will happen after three years? No one knows what will happen in three years. If we invest too much money in it, we will never feel at ease."
"You are too worried." Master Ji disagreed with this point, "If you are talking about other border towns, I agree with your statement very much. But this is Houcheng, it is different."
What's different? Master Ji didn't explain in detail.
When he went north, his father revealed something about Mrs. Qin Liu to him, and he realized that there was such a powerful figure in Liaodong County.
The father and daughter of the Lu family spent so much effort on construction and invested more money than they did. How could it be possible if they were not sure about dealing with the situation three years later?
Gu Ershao disagreed, "What's the difference? Few people can resist the Xianbei cavalry. I don't know what Houcheng can do to deal with it, but after thinking about it carefully, I finally feel that hope is slim."
Master Ji looked at him strangely. You are just a businessman. You won’t want the government to share all the responses and plans in three years, right? Your face is too big.
"Haha, Master Gu, I think you should think more about Young Master Gu's instructions and don't make decisions without authorization." For Young Master Gu's sake, he still persuaded him a little.
Master Ji felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he offered to say goodbye.
After returning to their yard, the confidant manager shook his head and said, "Young Master Gu sent Young Master Gu Er to Liaodong County, he was careless."
Young Master Ji snorted softly, "Don't pay attention to him. Gu Er is used to being praised in the southern part of the country. He thinks that Liaodong County is the southern part of the country!"
Gu Er had no idea whether Gu's family would invest money in Liaodong County or not, and there would be no big problem.
To be honest, Liaodong County is not big, and there is currently a Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. In addition, their Ji family can fully revitalize the land economy.
