In comparison, the construction of city walls required continuous ramming, making the project quite extensive.
But building trenches is much easier.
All you need to do is dig to a sufficient depth.
According to Liu Feng's estimate, the moat surrounding the entire city wall could be completely dug in at most ten days.
When that time comes, these people will also go and build city walls.
There should be no problem completing all these projects within half a month.
These things are progressing steadily.
Two more days passed, and the previously agreed-upon Red Mansion began to take action. They took the lead in renovating the inn and created a signboard that was as magnificent as a mirror.
The name itself has a certain charm; it's called Yanyu Tower.
Not bad, this name is interesting.
There's a hazy, dreamlike quality to it, like a beautiful young girl draped in a light veil.
Liu Feng arrived at the inn immediately and stepped inside.
Accompanying them this time was Boss Jia, the boss behind their Misty Rain Pavilion.
It is said that this Mr. Jia came here to meet Liu Feng.
This Mr. Jia's business is quite large, involving all sorts of businesses, big and small, far more extensive than Mr. Feng's.
After learning more, I found out that he owned five or six brothels alone, not to mention many more restaurants and inns.
They have very strong financial resources.
This Mr. Jia was someone Liu Feng had never met before; he belonged to a new force that Liu Feng had come into contact with.
The main reason is that he comes from the Central Plains, and he came to Zhengde County to do business because the waterway has been opened, making things much more convenient.
The Central Plains has been a granary since ancient times, with countless farmlands and a well-developed industrial base.
Compared to other places, the Central Plains had higher grain yields and a better standard of living for its people.
Therefore, commerce is exceptionally developed.
While other places suffered from famine and war, the Central Plains remained relatively peaceful.
This Mr. Jia comes from Zhoukou City, a place on the edge of the Central Plains, but a commercially developed area, and Mr. Jia's family is a prominent family in the area.
The reason they came to Zhengde County in person was because the opening of the waterway has made their business easier, and they want to develop new industries and build branches in Youzhou.
Guided by the waiter, Liu Feng arrived at a private room on the second floor.
As soon as the waiter opened the door, Liu Feng saw a lively scene of various fair-skinned women inside.
Surrounded by beautiful women, a handsome young man sat in the main seat, drinking tea from a blue-and-white porcelain teacup. After each sip, he gently swayed the teacup while humming a little tune.
Could this be Mr. Jia?
"General Liu, I have long admired your name. It is great to finally meet you in person."
"Please, have a seat."
This Mr. Jia is very young. Judging from his appearance, he looks to be no more than thirty years old, with a gentle and refined face and a faint smile.
If it weren't for the masculine aura emanating from his brows, Liu Feng would have thought this person was a sissy dressed as a man.
Upon seeing this, Liu Feng immediately thought of Wu Jiang; the two did indeed bear a striking resemblance.
Judging from her attire, she was very well-dressed, yet also very luxurious.
It has a low-key, luxurious, and sophisticated feel.
The only thing that shocked Liu Feng was his eyes. Those eyes, which should have been clear, were incredibly deep, which showed that he was far more complex than he appeared on the surface.
"Boss Jia."
"General Liu, you're too kind. Just call me Huating."
Jia Huating chuckled, then personally handed Liu Feng a cup of tea from the maid.
Liu Feng looked at the teacup with its gold rim, his mind filled with questions.
Although it's just an ordinary teacup, the fact that it's made so exquisitely shows how wealthy and powerful they are.
In other words, this small detail made Mr. Jia seem incredibly sophisticated.
"So what are these?"
"That's right. I've heard that General Liu has beautiful wives and concubines at home, each one of whom is stunningly beautiful. I thought that General Liu must have exceptional taste."
"So I brought thirty beautiful young women with me, hoping that General Liu would give me his opinion."
"General Liu, there's no need to be so polite. With your discerning eye, keeping eight in the end is sufficient."
Liu Feng was immediately puzzled and didn't understand.
"What? You just arrived and I've already chosen you?"
"This is your family business. Since you're opening your doors to customers, you naturally want all your customers to like it."
"It would be inappropriate to choose based on my personal preferences."
"General Liu, it's suitable, it's suitable, how could it not be suitable?"
Jia Huating chuckled, then waved his hand, and his men immediately brought over the calligraphy.
"General Liu, to be honest, besides asking you to take a look at these girls, I have another matter I'd like to trouble you with."
"Although my place is called Yanyu Tower, I always feel that the name is a bit tacky."
"I was thinking of asking General Liu to take the trouble to write down a name for us. With General Liu's literary and military talents, the name he writes will definitely be more popular."
"Besides, this is on General Liu's territory. Only something written by General Liu himself would be worthy of his stature."
Jia Huating spoke meticulously and flawlessly from beginning to end, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth and a constant smile.
His tone was even more calm.
Judging solely from his words and actions, Jia Huating showed no signs of aggression.
