Chapter 49 [VIP]



As the weather gets cooler, more and more villagers come to Fenghe County to work during the slack season, and Shi Mo, their teacher, also becomes busier.

Having finally found some time today, he left the factory and went to the city to look for his brother.

When Shi Yun was found, the eldest son of the Shi family was standing next to the carriage, typing away on the golden abacus.

Because he was too focused, he didn't look up and asked, "Where is the previous truckload of goods?"

The servant had originally intended to bow to Sanlangjun, but upon hearing this, he could only offer a simple bow. He then replied to Shi Yun, "I haven't seen him. It seems the supplier is arbitrarily raising the price, and we haven't been able to reach an agreement yet."

Shi Dalang frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, "You go back on your word and break your promise. You are not worthy of being consulted."

When the servant heard his husband even say the word "boy", he knew that he was angry. Naturally, he didn't dare to say anything more. He just responded and stepped aside.

At this time, Shi Yun turned his eyes and saw the shadow on the ground, and realized that his younger brother had come.

This shadow is really too different.

After all, few people would wear a straw hat on a cloudy day.

That is my third brother who wants to put himself in a condom to suffocate himself.

So Shi Yun immediately took out a pen, wrote a few entries in the account book, and then put the golden abacus in his arms.

When he turned around, the anger and coldness from earlier were still there. Only a smile remained on his face as he asked, "Little brother, how come you have time to come here today?"

Shi Mo raised his head and said to Shi Yun with a smile: "Today is Brother Sun's class. I have nothing to do, so I came to see you and have dinner with you."

Shi Yun was particularly happy when he heard this.

After all, both of them are very busy. One is doing literacy education in the factory, and the other is working hard to make money. It is not easy to find free time for both of them.

Now even just having a meal is a joy.

However, when he looked at Shi Mo, Shi Jia Dalang suddenly stopped moving, staring at him straight in the eyes.

Soon, Shi Sanlang noticed that his brother gasped.

This surprised Shi Mo a little: "What's wrong with you? Do you have a toothache? I'll find a doctor for you!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to run.

Shi Dalang quickly reached out and grabbed his younger brother, pulling him closer. He put his hands on his shoulders and looked him up and down carefully for a long time before saying, "Little brother, you've become whiter, and it's quite obvious."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Mo immediately smiled.

Yes, he turned white!

He finally got rid of the dilemma of "only seeing teeth floating when going out at night"!

Especially after using the sunscreen given by Sun Bai, he applied it diligently, washed his face well, and used a straw hat and a long gown for hard sun protection. It took less than half a month for his skin to become white.

The most striking example is that the face and hands become two different colors.

So Shi Sanlang recently started to carefully apply sunscreen to the back of his hands.

Who isn't a delicate boy?

Now that Shi Yun mentioned it, Shi Sanlang immediately trembled, and raised his chin proudly, but he still said reservedly: "It's all right, brother. My physique is really a bit special. I didn't do anything and it was in vain."

This made Shi Dalang laugh.

As the elder brother who loved Shi Mo the most, the first thing Shi Yun did after arriving was to send someone to follow Shi Mo and take care of his daily life.

Therefore, no one knew better than Shi Yun that Shi Sanlang was careful about sun protection every day.

But since he said he did nothing, then he did nothing.

Don’t ask, the answer is she is naturally beautiful.

In Qi State, this word was used equally for both men and women.

Shi Dalang smiled and said, "That's good. From now on, I can see it even if I go out at night."

Shi Mo glared at him, but this made Shi Dalang laugh even more happily.

After the "happy" brotherly greeting, Shi Mo's eyes turned to the carriage behind him: "Brother, are you buying more goods?"

Actually, this is a trade secret.

But since they were all family, there were no secrets, so Shi Yun simply nodded and said, "Yes, the previous batch has been sold out. I urgently raised this from other counties. There is still a lot left. We need to get the goods here as soon as possible before other caravans notice this place."

Shi Mo blinked, quite curious: "Brother, do you mean that there will be many caravans coming here in the future?"

Shi Dalang nodded as if it was a matter of course: "Of course."

"Why?"

"This matter has something to do with you," Shi Yun said, extending his hand and pointing to the people not far away who were pounding the ground to build a road. "Those are all your students. From what I've observed, they are becoming more and more skilled at paving the road, and the raw materials they use are becoming more and more abundant. In the future, the roads in Fenghe County will surely be as wide and smooth as the one outside."

Shi Sanlang asked, "And then?"

Shi Yun patiently explained, "I've been to many counties and prefectures, including the nearby states of Zhou and Wei, and I've always felt the same way. If the roads in this area were smooth and accessible to carriages and trucks, then a large number of caravans would have preferred to take a detour to go this way. Only good roads can save on the use of carriages and horses. Merchants are very calculating, each one more shrewd and cunning than the other."

The servant who happened to hear it nearby looked up at the sky silently, thinking that he was deaf.

Anyway, my husband has always been straightforward and honest in front of the third husband, and he even doesn't hesitate to scold himself.

I'm used to it.

Then Shi Yun continued, "When the caravans pass by, they always have to stop and trade, which will definitely boost the business here. Fortunately, you are here, giving our family an advantage." As he spoke, he laughed and said, "My Sanlang is very promising and amazing. I will write a letter to my parents later. I believe they will be happy too."

But all this was somewhat new to Shi Mo.

Because he had never thought that there would be such an outcome from the beginning, he was just doing what the immortal and the county magistrate told him to do.

Now that I think about it carefully, I find that there are many connections between them.

With the improvement of basic education of people in the factory, the direct result is that they make rapid progress and strongly promote the efficiency of various construction projects!

Not to mention anything else, those who carry stones up the mountain can count for themselves. When they come down the mountain, they can also write down what they have done today and how the progress is, without the need for others to write for them.

And more importantly, as they become more literate and sensitive to numbers, the drawings given by Langyun are no longer incomprehensible.

Even if the opposite rules and regulations are still a little confusing, at least you can have a very intuitive understanding of things like the mortar ratio, firing time, and the spacing of houses.

This may sound like a small thing, but it saves time on explanation, and many people who learn quickly can be freed from basic physical labor and try to do some technical work.

With the increase in the workforce, the construction process was greatly accelerated.

All these changes are silent, but they are reflected in the progress of the project.

But as one of the teachers who taught them knowledge, Shi Mo had never thought about this.

The reason is that Shi Jia Sanlang studied liberal arts, but at this time, everyone is a liberal arts student. Most people who want to go into science and engineering are called craftsmen, and there is no system. Even if they have experience, it is just passed on by word of mouth, and there is no system. No one realizes what foundation they need to lay.

Now with targeted "literacy" education, everyone involved can be improved. When even women have their own strengths, efficiency will naturally increase.

What if this were to be extended to all the people in the county...

Thinking of this, Shi Mo's eyes became brighter and brighter.

So he said to Shi Yun, "Brother, I have something to talk to Master Mo about." Then he turned around and was about to run.

As a result, the straw hat fell off.

Shi Yun quickly reached out to help him straighten up. The usually shrewd Shi family elder brother now had a helpless look on his face: "What's the rush?"

Shi Mo smiled brightly: "It's a matter of great benefit to the country and the people! I won't eat, let's talk about it next time, then I will treat you to a drink!"

After saying that, he trotted away.

The servant was a little nervous.

After all, what my husband hates most is people who go back on their words. He just called the other person a "scoundrel".

As a result, when he looked up, he saw Shi Jia Dalang looking at his younger brother's back with a face full of emotion, and said with satisfaction: "Look, my younger brother still remembers that I like to drink. How thoughtful."

Servant: ...

This double standard is so obvious.

On the other side, Shi Mo had already run to Mr. Mo's house.

Now, Mr. Mo has moved into a new house.

Although he was a little uncomfortable with this place without a yard at first, Mr. Mo soon discovered its beauty.

The pure white walls inside alone made Mr. Mo particularly enthusiastic.

When Shi Mo entered the room, he saw the Master's new works on the wall.

It is not painted on paper, but directly on the wall, which looks quite interesting.

Seeing him coming, Master Mo waved and said, "Come here and take a look at my new work."

The reason why he was called here was because Shi Mo had a good level of appreciation, and he could always see the deep meaning of some subtle details and point out some problems.

Shi Mo swallowed what he was about to say, walked up obediently, stood beside Master Mo, raised his head and stared at the painting on the wall for a while, and then praised it from many aspects such as the use of pen and ink, expression techniques, and detail treatment.

Master Mo laughed as he listened, then waved his hand and said, "You have a very sweet mouth. Tell me, is there something you want to tell me?"

Shi Sanlang was slightly stunned: "Master, how did you know?"

Mr. Mo reached out and nodded at him, rather helplessly: "If it were normal, you would definitely nag me that a painting like this should be done on paper and not on the wall. But today, you're being uncharacteristically nice, with nothing but good things to say. It's clear you're not putting your heart into it."

Shi Mo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Nothing can be hidden from the master."

Then he sat down and told Master Mo what he had just seen and thought.

Mr. Mo kept nodding his head. After all, these things actually happened. Whether it was the paved roads or the built houses, they were all real and there, and could not be faked.

It was not until he heard Shi Mo say, "If education is expanded, it will be of great benefit to the country," that Master Mo finally paused and his fingertips stopped tapping on the armrest of the chair.

Shi Mo had been following him for a long time and knew that this was a sign that his teacher was deep in thought, so he stopped talking.

After a long while, Master Mo finally said, "You are right. If this can be popularized, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people."

Although what was taught in the factory was of little use for the imperial examinations, the road to the imperial examinations was like a narrow bridge among thousands of people, with only one chosen from ten thousand. Most people just wanted to have food and drink.

At least for Fenghe County now, the top priority is to resume life and production as soon as possible.

Then, what is taught in the factory is particularly useful.

As for Master Mo, the fact that he could accept students regardless of their family background proved that this old master was selfless.

Now, naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is the benefits that promotion can bring to the people of Qi.

Learning more can provide you with more options and more ways to make a living.

Then Master Mo immediately stood up and said: "This is a very good thing."

Shi Mo then stood up: "Master, what do you want to do?"

Master Mo had originally planned to go directly to the Zhuang County Magistrate, but he quickly stopped and said softly, "We should make thorough preparations before going. We need to think carefully about how to promote it, how to recruit students, and who to teach."

So Shi Mo did not leave. He asked someone to ask for a few days' leave from the factory, and he stayed at Master Mo's place to plan this matter together.

Taking advantage of the time when he had no classes, Wang Er also took a short vacation to go home.

He wrote all the leave notes himself.

Since he had been working diligently since he arrived and had never been absent from work, his leave application was approved quickly.

Wang Er didn't want to waste any more time, so he just took a dump and walked all the way home without any means of transportation.

It was night when he entered the village, and no one in the village knew that Wang Er had returned.

By the next morning, before the villagers woke up, he was gone.

He also brought his wife and daughter.

Wang Er's wife's surname is Tang. She has a gentle personality and she was naturally very happy to see her husband coming home.

As a result, in a moment of excitement, I agreed to come along.

But before she even reached the county town, she felt a little regretful.

Tang touched the little girl on Wang Er's back with some concern, and lowered her voice, "You said you were leaving, so why did you insist on taking us with you? And you left so early? Look how sleepy Nizi is."

Wang Er tightened his arms and carried his daughter more steadily on his back. Then he said, "Time waits for no one. Master Sun is coming tonight, and I have to go and listen."

Tang's mind was completely on her daughter Nizi, so she just nodded perfunctorily and didn't pay attention to what Wang Er said.

After a while, seeing Nizi sleeping soundly, she continued, "Did you really mean what you said before? That... factory, do they really let women work?"

Wang Er could hear his wife's uneasiness and quickly reassured her, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Can I still get monthly wages?"

"If the workmanship is good, it will be there."

Tang then remembered to ask, "What about you? Are you doing well now?"

Wang Er didn't answer the question directly, but just smiled innocently: "I can earn one penny a month now, and how I will perform in the future depends on my performance."

He was indeed a little embarrassed when he said this.

After all, compared with Ding Jiu, who lives with him, or Ding Jiu's wife, he has less.

But to Tang, it was already shocking enough: "One penny of silver? Not only will you be provided with food and drink, but you will also be given one penny of silver every month?"

Wang Er nodded.

Tang couldn't help but exclaim, "That's a full penny, a thousand copper coins. It can buy several large bags of rice, more than our family's income in half a year!"

As she spoke, she moved closer, put her hand around her man's arm, and her eyes narrowed with joy.

This made Wang Er feel a little embarrassed, but he still had his daughter on his back, so he didn't dare to struggle. He could only whisper, "Don't do this. It would be embarrassing if someone saw us."

Tang just smiled and said, "What are you afraid of seeing? You are my husband and I am your wife. It's fair and square."

Wang Er thought that the people in the county town were all well-behaved, and his wife seldom went out in the village. She might not know these things, so she was bold.

But the words went around in circles on the tip of his tongue and he didn't say them.

Wang Er looked around and found that it was early and there were not many people around, so he let her go, with the smile on his face getting wider and wider.

However, this posture is indeed not conducive to traveling, and it is also easy to disturb the sleeping girl, so the two quickly separated.

But Tang was still holding the corner of Wang Er's clothes, afraid that they would get separated from him.

They didn't let go until they reached Fenghe County, and even kept pulling tighter and tighter.

Wang Er could also sense his wife's nervousness, so he immediately stopped and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Tang didn't say anything, but just stared and looked around.

This road was wider than she had ever seen before.

This house was the neatest she had ever seen.

There were also the carriages coming and going, and the houses under construction, all of which were things that Tang had never seen in all these years.

What surprised her most was that the people in the county town were very different.

Perhaps because she was a woman with a keen eye, Tang paid particular attention to the people coming and going.

Everyone was walking in a hurry and looked very busy, but they were not at all panicked and it was obvious that they were moving with a purpose.

They themselves may not feel that there is anything wrong with this kind of tightness, but to others, there is an inexplicable sense of urgency that "he works so hard but I am really a loser".

This is the case with the Tang family.

She subconsciously moved closer to Wang Er and said softly, "It's really different here."

Wang Er thought she was talking about the county's construction, so he nodded naturally and said, "Yes, now that all the collapsed houses have been cleared away, there have indeed been great changes. Oh, and a lot of the things used in this house were built by me."

Tang felt that the two were talking about different things, but she also knew that her man was telling her about his achievements.

Then, discussion is secondary and encouragement is primary.

Then, Mrs. Tang immediately laughed, her voice jumping with joy: "Really? No wonder this house looks so nice. I knew I didn't marry the wrong person. You are the most capable one!"

This one sentence made Wang Er feel embarrassed again, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

After walking for a while, Tang finally brought up the matter at hand: "But I think houses in this county town must be expensive. They're definitely not cheap. I'm afraid we can't even afford to rent one. If we both go to work, who will take care of Nizi? Why not send her back to entrust her to my parents while it's still early?"

Wang Er shook his head: "My parents are old and usually need my eldest brother to take care of them. It's not easy to send our daughter there."

Mrs. Tang was a little worried: "What should we do?"

Wang Er had already thought about it and happened to be there, so he stopped and signaled with his eyes: "We're here."

Upon hearing this, Tang looked over.

Then I saw a house in front of me.

It looks similar to the ones I saw on the road just now, all of them are square in shape, but there is an extra yard in the front, which is filled with various small wooden horses and rocking chairs.

It looks like it's for children to play with.

This surprised Tang: "What is this place?"

Wang Er: "A place to take care of children."

Tang: "A private school?"

Wang Er: "No, it's written on the sign."

Tang looked at the sign. There were three words on it, but she muttered, "What's the point of writing them? I don't know them."

Wang Er then remembered and said, "It says 'kindergarten' on it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tang nodded at first, then suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Er in surprise.

Wang Er hurriedly said, "This name was given by the immortal from Langyun. You can only say nice things about it, understand?"

But what surprised Tang was not the name: "You, you can actually read???"

Wang Er was also stunned when he heard this, and then he realized: "Yes, I can recognize the words..."

Then, I was scared by myself.

He actually learned to read!

Normally in the factory, everyone studies for food and money. Many literate people receive monthly wages, so the goals of others are very clear. In addition to working every day, they study, and everyone competes with each other in diligence and hard work.

This means there is no time to think about anything else.

Wang Er actually forgot that he, who could not recognize a single word not long ago, could now recognize many words.

What I once thought was impossible was accomplished just like that.

He suddenly looked down at himself and saw that he was no longer wearing rough linen clothes, but clean clothes issued by the factory, and he was no longer wearing straw sandals, but thick-soled shoes. He felt as if he was in another world.

At this moment, Ding Jiu's wife Ma came out.

Since Ding Jiu and Wang Er lived in the same room, Ma naturally knew that Wang Er had gone to pick up his family.

Now he took the initiative to greet her: "This must be my sister-in-law, I can tell she is a smart person at first glance."

Wang Er greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law."

Although Tang didn't recognize her, she also called out, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Ma was a bit plump, and her smile was particularly kind: "My wife told me a long time ago that your daughter should be left in the garden. It's just right that it's dinner time in the garden now. Come in and eat before leaving."

Wang Er responded and followed with his daughter on his back. Tang was even more busy pulling at the corner of his clothes and walked forward.

Along the way, Tang's eyes never stopped looking around.

If I was shocked when I first entered the county town, I am confused now.

Why is this wall so white?

Why is this land so flat?

Also, what smells so good...

When Mrs. Tang saw the meat soup and rice on the table, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Once the food is in your mouth, there is no time to talk.

Wang Er didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife eating fast, but he was afraid that she would choke, so he poured her some water early.

Seeing that Nizi had woken up, rubbed her eyes and asked for food, Wang Er brought a bowl and fed her, being extremely careful.

This made Ma look at him several more times, and then she thought to herself, no wonder he could marry such a beautiful wife, his effort was unparalleled.

But soon Ma smiled and said, "You may not know this yet, but this kindergarten was built with funds from several factories to take care of children who are not yet old enough to go to private school. I'll cook here, so just leave your child here and I'll look after him for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nizi turned her head away.

Although she was young, she was able to keenly grasp the key words and knew that she would probably be left here in the future.

But Nizi didn't cry or make a fuss. Children from poor families always grow up early. Now she just turned her head and looked at Tang.

Tang had just come here and had no doubts about whether the kindergarten could take care of the child.

In other words, she believed Wang Er, so since Wang Er said this place was okay, she thought it was okay.

But at this moment, he still looked hesitant and said softly, "Sister-in-law, is it expensive?"

Not to mention anything else, just this meal would probably cost quite a bit of money.

Then Ma said, "The children of the factory don't charge money."

Mrs. Tang blinked and looked down at the bowl: "This, is it free?"

Ma smiled and said, "It's not a free meal. You all work in the factory, which means you work for the county. This is the benefit the county gives you."

Wang Er nodded and gently patted his wife's back to comfort her.

At this time, Ma said, "I will take my younger brother and sister-in-law to find a suitable job. You can come and go to class with me in the evening."

Tang was somewhat numb from the continuous shock, and now she asked blankly, "What class? ...No, why can I also attend the class?"

Ma didn't explain much, but just asked, "Can you read?"

Tang shook her head.

Ma: “Will that count?”

Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "I helped sell vegetables when I was at my mother's house."

Ma: "Then calculate, what is the sum of three sevens?"

Tang blurted out: "Twenty-one."

Ma looked pleased: "Very good, that's it. You are better than my wife, you will definitely pass this class."

Tang was feeling a little dizzy, with confusion in her eyes.

As for Wang Er, although he knew that Tang often helped when she was at her parents' home, he didn't know that it was so good to count the money.

He couldn't help but make up his mind that he would work harder, even if it was just to maintain his image in the eyes of the Tang family!

Let’s do the questions tonight!

Every lesson and practice brought by the immortal must not be wasted!

On the other hand, the people of Langyun were still unaware that the exercise books that had filled many people’s childhoods had become all the rage in Fenghe County.

Now Shao Zhu's focus is on the planning map.

He was sitting in a wing of the county magistrate's office, holding up his cell phone. Inside was the female teacher who had previously educated County Magistrate Zhuang about "work-for-relief," Gong Qiao from the School of Economics and Management.

At this time, the two of them looked at the plan hanging on the wall together.

Shao Zhu slid his hand across the road and said, "Currently, the roads with blue lines are open, and the roads with red lines are not yet open. This side is a residential area, and that side is a factory. These areas are government departments."

Gong Qiao: "What?"

Shao Zhu: "It's the county governor's office and the government offices under it."

Gong Qiao nodded, then looked over and quickly fixed her eyes on one spot: "Where is that place with a red cross?"

Shao Zhu then said, "This is why I video-called the teacher today. County Magistrate Zhuang said he wanted to build a temple here. This means that the surrounding area will belong to Langyun."

Gong Qiao: "It sounds like an embassy."

Shao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "That's about right. Anyway, the governor of Di'erzhuang is planning to build a temple. He says he wants to thank the fairyland for its help. However, they are currently in the process of rebuilding and can't provide much. So he wants to build a temple for people to worship and collect incense money, which will then belong to Langyun."

After hearing this, Mr. Gong pondered for a moment and said softly, "People from another world are already doing this so early?"

Shao Zhu: "What?"

Teacher Gong: “Crowdfunding.”

Shao Zhu: ...

If Gong Qiao hadn't pointed it out, Shao Zhu wouldn't have thought about it at all.

But now the more I think about it, the more I feel it has a certain flavor...

Gong Qiao looked back and forth on the plan several times before saying, "He's very willing to give it up. This place is in a great location."

Shao Zhu also agreed: "Yes, it's close to the main road and not far from the city gate. It's almost in the middle of the county town."

Teacher Gong said softly, "Having a market would be a good idea."

Shao Zhu laughed when he heard this. "Yes, I thought so too. Teacher Gong also thinks it should be this way, right? Then I will change it now and tell County Magistrate Zhuang later."

But before Shao Zhu could pick up the pen, Gong Qiao said, "Wait a minute."

Shao Zhu paused: "What?"

Then I saw Teacher Gong stand up, move closer to his phone, and gesture, "Stand back a bit so I can see the whole picture."

Shao Zhu followed instructions and took action, quickly adjusting the angle.

Then we saw Teacher Gong leaving the camera for a while, and there were faint voices coming from the opposite side, as if he was discussing something with other people.

This made Shao Zhu a little confused: "Huh, there are others?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw several faces coming in front of the camera, and it was obvious that some people hadn't squeezed in.

But they soon dispersed. Teacher Gong sat back down and said with a smile, "Knowing that you wanted to discuss the planning, I called several outstanding students from our major here. I hope we can learn something from Shao, and also see if there's any chance for us to complete the task."

Shao Zhu was curious: "What is Mr. Gong's mission?"

Gong Qiao's voice was exceptionally gentle. "Our college is not like you architects. We can't see actual products right away. Besides, the system doesn't require us to build anything."

Shao Zhu: "What is that?"

Gong Qiao: "Just two words: make money."

Shao Zhu: ...very straightforward.

Then Gong Qiao said, "Although there's no direct correlation between silver and points in this world, and we don't know what they can be used for yet, it's always good to earn more."

Shao Zhu agreed with this point.

As more and more places are friendly with Langyun, students from all majors in the school will be able to come out to play and have fun...well, there will be more and more opportunities to come out for internships and earn points.

After leaving school, the currency in circulation was still gold, silver and copper coins.

Gong Qiao continued, "And for us, the reason we care about these things isn't just because of the mission."

Shao Zhu: "Hey, what's the purpose then?"

Gong Qiao smiled: "It's just a hobby. I just like the joy of watching the numbers marked with money soar upwards."

Shao Zhu: ...

I don't deserve this happiness.

Hou Gong Qiao pointed to the plan and said, "Back to the topic, we just discussed it and concluded that if you want to build a temple, then build it, but it doesn't have to be a full temple. It would be best if it only occupies a small part of this area, leaving the rest empty."

Shao Zhu looked at the picture and asked, "What are you going to do with the free time?"

Gong Qiao: "Provide it to the vendors."

Shao Zhu: "...What do you mean?"

Teacher Gong patiently explained, "Once the temple here is completed, given Lang Yun's current reputation in Fenghe County, it will likely be extremely popular, with many people coming." He paused, "So, this place is likely to become a tourist attraction and a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities."

Shao Zhu: Teacher, your description is really apt.

Teacher Gong continued, "Then what do you think will happen when a tourist attraction becomes crowded?"

Shao Zhu thought about it for a moment: "Guide? Snacks? Souvenirs?"

Gong Qiao nodded gently. "The first two are not certain, but the last one will definitely exist, and there will definitely be vendors. As long as we don't ban it, there will definitely be big merchants who will discover the business opportunities. That will be our chance."

Shao Zhu was a little confused: "What opportunity?"

Teacher Gong extended his fingertips and gently tapped the plan map on the screen. "For example, we'll allow them to open shops near the immortal temple, provided they pay a certain amount of rent or incense money every month. I'm sure many people will rush to agree to this."

Shao Zhu was stunned when he heard this.

In fact, as Mr. Gong said, if we really do this, it is indeed feasible.

The business opportunity was discovered by the vendors.

The incense money was what County Magistrate Zhuang wanted to "crowdfund".

For Langyun, they only need to nod when the other party makes a request.

But the final result is that he made a fortune without any capital and just collected rent!

And these stores can actually be called shops.

This business model of setting up shops in a densely populated area and charging rent reminded Shao Zhu of a certain plaza that was common throughout China...

Then Gong Qiao said, "From now on, we can call this the Fairy Temple Square."

Shao Zhu: ...

Sure enough, it’s the same path!

You guys still know how to play!

Teacher Gong continued, "The key is to build the immortal temple."

Shao Zhu was already in listening mode, very obediently saying, "Teacher, please speak."

Gong Qiao didn't hide anything and said directly, "Whether a place is valuable isn't just judged by transportation, location, or population density. More importantly, it's whether there are landmark buildings nearby. If there are, then the value of the place will skyrocket." She smiled as she spoke, "If there's nothing here but shops, then it won't actually make any money. I guess there won't be as many people coming as the street at the city gate."

Shao Zhu: "So?"

Gong Qiao: "So, if there is no landmark building, let's build one."

A male voice spoke in a clear and melodious voice over the screen: "It's located near the temple, along the main road, with convenient transportation and a scarce location. It has unlimited appreciation potential and is your best choice."

Teacher Gong continued in a gentle voice, "With such good conditions, merchants won't lose anything even if they pay for incense. For Langyun, as long as Fenghe County is stable, there will be a steady flow of money."

Shao Zhu stared at the plan for a long time and finally let out a breath.

He sighed:

"Sure enough, even if I traveled to another world, real estate is still the most profitable!"
