That afternoon, Uncle Liu led a few workers to tear down the stone wall between the two courtyards.

This made Wang Ruyi and Guisheng extremely happy. Now their territory doubled again and they had room to play.

Li Xiuyuan held a drawing and discussed with several craftsmen about rebuilding the shop.

Several masons calculated that this would require a lot of stones, and they all said they were afraid that the craftsmen in the town would be too busy.

Li Xiuyuan had thought of this a long time ago and said quietly: "There are many craftsmen in Baiyu City. You can hire someone. The salary is not an issue, but the work must be completed within the time specified by me."

"After the two shops in the front have been renovated, the living quarters in the back also need to be rebuilt. You have to put a lot of effort into it."

For Li Xiuyuan, he was not bad at all in terms of gold and silver coins. Since he was going to live here for a long time, he had to build a shop similar to the one in Ding'an City Winery.

Besides, the backyard in front of you is twice as big as that in Ding'an City. In summer and autumn, you can sit under the tree and drink tea, which is a good place.

When several craftsmen heard this, they immediately became energetic. If they had money, they could go to Baiyu City to invite more craftsmen.

There is one in the back hill of Stone Town. After much calculation, we finally decided to spend one month renovating the two shops, and another month to renovate the house and yard behind it.

All processes can be completed by the summer solstice at most.

Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "As long as it is completed on the summer solstice, I will give you another big red envelope, how about it?"

"Mr. Bao Xiao is satisfied with this job!"

One of the craftsmen recognized Li Xiuyuan as the philanthropic man who had bought up all the swordfish in the town, and immediately patted his chest and replied.

After agreeing to start in five days, Li Xiuyuan asked a group of craftsmen to leave, then looked at Uncle Liu and said: "Just move the goods in the store to the blacksmith shop opposite, and we will do business there first."

When Uncle Liu heard this, he couldn't help looking at Hu Ge who was lying down and asked: "The blacksmith is no longer in business?"

Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The blacksmith will teach several children to practice in the future. He will no longer be able to make iron. You will have to find someone else to purchase your ironware."

When Uncle Liu heard this, he sighed and said leisurely: "If there is another person, he won't be as skilled as the blacksmith."

After saying that, he shook his head, took the key from Hu Ge, and walked to the backyard. He wanted to arrange for Wang San to find someone to move all the goods in your shop to the blacksmith shop opposite.

While shaking his head, he sighed: "Fortunately there is a blacksmith shop, otherwise where would all the goods be piled up?"

By this time, Watson had taken his younger siblings back to the house to sleep, leaving only Mrs. Liu and Sister Hong sitting in the yard smoking fish.

Seeing Uncle Liu coming from the backyard, Sister Hong couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Liu, where are the goods in our shop stacked?"

Uncle Liu was stunned, looked at her and smiled: "Sister Hong, please quickly ask your Wang San to go to the town to find some people to help, and move all the goods in the store to the blacksmith shop opposite."

Sister Hong chuckled: "Isn't the blacksmith going to start working?"

The old man shook his head and said leisurely: "The young gentleman said that the blacksmith will teach three children to practice in the future. I'm afraid he won't have time to go back to his old profession."

Mrs. Liu sighed, looked at the two of them and said, "I didn't allow Watson to practice before because I was afraid that he would get into trouble. Now it's better. I have a powerful godfather to teach him."

Sister Hong looked at Wang San who came out rubbing his eyes and said, "Daddy, hurry up and find some strong men in the town to move all the goods in the store to the opposite side."

Wang San looked at Uncle Liu and asked, "Are you going to demolish the house?"

"Construction will start in five days. In the next few days, we will move all the goods together. You and Sister Hong will also move in. The yard at the back is big enough."

Sister Hong nodded thoughtfully: "The goods have been moved over, so someone has to watch."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu said quietly: "You have to leave me a few clean rooms with two rooms. We will have to move there in a few days. After finishing the shop in the front, it is time to demolish the house in the back."

Wang San looked around and sighed: "Isn't this going to cost a lot of money? Why am I just like in a dream, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Ruyi can also practice with Watson?"

Sister Hong chuckled: "If you don't have money, use more energy. He is Watson's godfather, as well as Ruyi and Guisheng's godfather. Hurry up and find someone to work for."

"Don't rush me, why don't I go right now?" Wang San smiled and pulled Uncle Liu forward.

Uncle Liu told Mrs. Liu, "I have to go to the blacksmith shop opposite and have a look at it, and let someone clean it up first."

When Ms. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me and Sister Hong to help?"

Uncle Liu waved his hand and said: "No need, you can take care of the children at home."

Sister Hong turned the saury over on the grill, looked at Ms. Liu and said with a smile: "Sister, there are so many saury, we may be able to eat them until autumn."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but wipe the corner of her eyes gently, looked at the Xinghua behind the yard and said, "Sister, you don't know, ever since I met my brother on the roadside..."

In her opinion, her destiny has changed since the day she met her brother in the rain.

If it weren't for the gold coins her brother left behind, she wouldn't have been able to study in a school, let alone come to Liexi Town to learn how to do business.

Sister Hong sighed after her, and said quietly: "I hope our family will be happy, and we can follow the little gentleman to change her destiny."

Mrs. Liu glared at her and said with a smile: "You are really an ambitious guy... In this case, you can be nicer to my brother."

Sister Hong thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Sister, why is this young gentleman single? Do you want to introduce him to a marriage in the town?"

Ms. Liu was startled, glared at her and replied, "My brother is a god-like figure. You must not mention this matter in front of him."

In her opinion, she is very satisfied that her brother can live in the town for ten or eight years.

After a long time, Mrs. Liu thought something was wrong, looked at her and whispered, "I'll secretly ask him about this some other time, so don't talk too much."

…

After a busy day, the shopkeeper finally returned home, washed his face, and walked from the backyard into the living room where Li Xiuyuan was.

Li Xiuyuan happened to be lighting a fire and making tea, while Hu Ge was lying aside to relax.

Looking at the shopkeeper Li Xiuyuan who walked in, he smiled quietly: "I have already sent a letter to the Imperial City. There will be news in a few days. Does the shopkeeper want to be the mayor?"

The shopkeeper was startled, and quickly shook his head and replied: "I don't want to be an official, just open this small shop. It is my wish to protect my family."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and thought, how could this not be his dream?

It's just that thousands of miles away, the sky is far away, and his parents have gone to a place that is beyond his reach.

Even now, he can only think quietly and cry secretly on a full moon night.

Reaching out to pour a cup of spiritual tea for the shopkeeper, Li Xiuyuan said: "The emperor will exempt the town from taxes for ten to twenty years as compensation for this banditry. What do you think?"

After pondering for a while, the shopkeeper nodded and said: "This is very good. It will allow the merchants and people in the town to have a rest and recuperation process."

"That's what I thought too."

From Li Xiuyuan's point of view, the suggestion he made was just a trivial matter to the emperor, and it was estimated that an imperial edict would be issued to the town in a few days.

Counting the days, Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu should be on their way to Xinnan Xinjiang at this time, otherwise this matter may end up falling on Wang Tianhua.

After all, in all these years, he has never made any request to His Majesty the Emperor.

"I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'll ask Watson to accompany me then... I'll pay for all the expenses. Do you think the school will agree?"

Li Xiuyuan told the shopkeeper what he was thinking, looked at him and said seriously: "The children can lose their relatives, but they can no longer lose the opportunity to study."

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this, looked at him and said, "This requires a lot of money. I'm afraid even the shops in the town can't donate so much?"

Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "You don't have to worry about the expenses, and you don't need to donate."

In Kangchuan City, he renovated the entire shanty town in the west. When he returned to the Five Regions, he wanted to change these children who had lost their loved ones.

He wanted to try to be a teacher, just like Wuxin did at the beginning.

The shopkeeper sighed heavily and said, "If you can accomplish this, you will be a great philanthropist in the town."

Li Xiuyuan thought about it and finally changed his decision.

He said quietly: "Please, shopkeeper, please invite the principal of the school here tomorrow. I want to talk to him in person. Only you and I know about this matter. Don't tell it anymore."

At the moment, he is a little different from Wu Xin. He doesn't want the relatives of the children in the town to remember his good deeds. Doing so goes against his original intention of practicing with the monks of the Great Buddha Temple.

Even if someone has to be found, it can only be the emperor of the Five Regions Dynasty. Only the emperor can make the people feel grateful, and he doesn't need it.

The shopkeeper didn't know what he was thinking, so he just nodded and said: "The school is also on a long holiday these days. I will invite the principal over tomorrow morning."

Li Xiuyuan pointed at Hu Ge, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, and said with a smile: "You will move the goods in the store to the blacksmith shop tomorrow. Before the store is ready, let's do business on the opposite side."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "You just came back and you kept spending money. I said you have to keep it to marry a wife in the future. Do you want Xiaolian to help you make something special in the town?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "Don't mention this matter. I just came back here to enjoy a comfortable life quietly for a few years."

In his opinion, after Hu Ge's injury is healed, if he encounters trouble in the future, he will let this guy take action.

A smaller matter, where is a Watson?

He must learn to be a real mortal, like the monk Buli by the Tongtian River, and not quarrel with others for half a piece of spiritual stone.

And he was going to try to argue with passing merchants for the price of a jar of wine.

Thinking of this, he remembered that when he arrived in Tianyu City at the beginning of the year, he didn't have a single spiritual stone with him. Fortunately, he met the master, otherwise he wouldn't even have money to buy a piece of clothing.

It turns out that I have also experienced the fact that a penny cannot kill a good man.

I got two pieces of good news from Li Xiuyuan. The shopkeeper was in a good mood and said he was going home to see what was cooked and to have a drink in the evening.

Even Hu Ge, who had his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Brother, I also want to drink a few more drinks. I have missed you so much these years."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but glare at him: "I think you miss my wine, right? I'm going to make wine tomorrow, and you have to learn... I'll see if I can get you drunk in the future."

Brother Hu looked at him and laughed: "Brother, aren't you tired of taking on three young apprentices at once?"

Who knew that Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "You are overthinking. I am determined not to accept any more apprentices. The three of them are your apprentices. It just so happens that you will have nothing to do in the future and can enjoy the fun of being a master."

Brother Hu smiled tiredly. He did not expect that Li Xiuyuan actually threw the three children to him.

I couldn't help but said: "Why do you have to heal my injury first?"

After being stunned for a moment, Li Xiuyuan said, "It's okay, you can teach me while lying on the bed."
