On the third day of March, Gu Zuo rushed back to Nan Wu Prefecture. Under his emergency order, Master Gao Changjiang and his apprentice temporarily withdrew from the mines, finally resumed their old business and began to build the first store in Nan Wu Prefecture.

Their work in mining the mineral veins was taken over by other monks.

Gu Zuo posted another slogan: Fifteen days of hard work, strive for excellence at the end of the month!

In order to build the market faster, he even stopped the iron ore mine that had just resumed work for half a month, and transferred all twelve mining workers to Gao Changjiang's command.

The location of the shops was chosen in the small valley between the South Main Peak and the Second South Peak, lined up along the north bank of Dongxi. The reason for choosing this location was mainly from safety considerations.

Currently, the South Second Peak is shrouded in the protection of the Sanyuan Jizhen Grand Formation, and the South Main Peak will also have a large formation. Several deacons who followed from the Pingdu Eighth Formation Gate have already begun to survey the terrain. Within half a month,

The layout is complete.

According to Zhao Zuo's plan, the area where the South Main Peak and South Second Peak are located will become the core center of the South Wuzhou Array. The South Main Peak in the west is equipped with the Turtle Shell Lixuan Formation, which overlaps with the Three Yuan Jizhen Formation on the South Second Peak.

, the valley between the two peaks-that is, the planned area of ​​the store, is exactly under the protection of the double formation.

Since the Tortoise Lixuan Formation is more focused on defense and rarely kills, the Liangyi Sword Light Formation will be set up on the south main peak. After the formation is activated, a single sword light can instantly kill the early stage of the Golden Core and seriously injure the late stage of the Golden Core, forming an extremely powerful

It's a deterrent. It's a pity that the sword light cannot be emitted continuously, and the brewing time is long. Otherwise, let alone 3,600 guans, 36,000 guans are worth having!

In the plan, a seven-star inversion array will be deployed in the valley forest north of the southern main peak and the second southern peak to form a psychedelic illusion; along a mountain ridge two miles south of the two peaks, a four-elephant thick earth array will be deployed, which can be constructed when activated.

It is a thick city wall, supplemented by a Red Refined Cloud Fire Formation to help defend it.

From this point on, Nan Wu Prefecture will form a rough prototype of a city.

The city is supported on the left and right by the main southern peak and the second southern peak, with mountain ridges as walls to the south and valley forests as a barrier to the north. It is more than sixteen miles long from east to west and six and a half miles wide from north to south, covering an area of ​​40,000 acres.

Among them, the valley between the two mountains is about more than a thousand acres, which happens to be the market planned in the future. Gu Zuo, who is incompetent in naming, gave it a name - Shuangfeng Town.

There are more than 5,000 acres of flat land between the south-facing "city wall" and Shuangfeng Town. Now there is a medicinal garden and a spiritual field, which will be a planned grain and vegetable base in the future.

This majestic city built against the mountains has six large mountain-protecting formations densely distributed here. The total cost is more than 30,000 yuan. In terms of defense strength alone, it is ranked among the best among the most dangerous cities in the world. The only thing that makes Gu Zuo regretful is

Yes, there are just few people.

Gu Zuo watched with interest as Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice built the shop. They showed extremely high professional standards as soon as they started.

In just one morning, an open space fifteen feet long and ten feet wide was opened along the north bank of Dongxi River. All trees were cut down and all shrubs were cleared. By night, the open space was extended to thirty-five feet. Two days later

, once again extended to one hundred feet.

Gao Changjiang took out a large cylindrical stone mill and asked his eldest disciple to control it, and began to level the seventeen or eight acres of land. The remaining disciples went to the south entrance sixteen miles away to quarry stones.

The place where they quarried stones was a stone mountain. Strictly speaking, this area was beyond the scope of Nanwu Prefecture and was considered a cross-border mining. However, it was quite normal for this kind of thing to happen in Nanzhao, and the Black Mountain Edict could not control it. In the past, the Dongting Sect often

No one would ever say anything about quarrying from this stone mountain.

Three days later, the land was not only leveled, but also divided and demarcated. Two days later, the foundations of ten houses were drilled. Each house has two entrances, and the distance between houses is half an acre.

The rocks in Shishan were almost quarried. Gu Zuo personally went out and emptied the contents of the gold storage lock, then rushed to Shishan and pulled back the stones that had been sorted and cut three times. I don't know.

What kind of magical tools did Gao Changjiang's disciples use? All the quarried stones were cut into stones one foot and a half long, five inches wide and three inches high. They were stacked neatly.

The next process of repairing and building the house really amazed Gu Zuo.

Gao Changjiang's disciples each took out a set of small array disks. It is said that they were all designed by themselves and refined under the guidance of Gao Changjiang. One person occupied a house foundation and laid out the array. Stones and wooden stakes were placed in the array.

Then it began to fly all over the sky, moving on its own, and the walls, beams, roofs, and wooden windows were all built by themselves.

The martial artists who assisted them in building their houses mixed soil, rice slurry, water and some materials taken from Gao Yangjiang, and transported them to the array as required.

The eight disciples controlled the magic circle and adjusted its operation from time to time. Two days later, eight small courtyards with two floors in front and back appeared in front of Gu Zuo.

Next, the magic circle was replaced. This time, the magic circle was specially used for carving beams and columns. In just one day, the intricately carved colorful paintings with different styles and patterns were completed!

Sanhe Grain Shop, Incense Burner Silk and Satin Shop, Hanshan Restaurant, Guchi Xiangbao, Wanhe Dandiao, Water Lotus Yazhu, and Pingtai Thatched Cottage are all completed, and each has a plaque, just waiting for the store to move in.

The main entrance of these small courtyards faces Dongxi. The wide shop halls are all two-story buildings. Behind the halls is the warehouse. Enter the backyard through the second door, which is where people live. There are kitchens, flower halls, study rooms and six bedrooms.

The functions are also very complete.

At the far east end is the newly established Nan Wuzhou Supermarket. The person appointed as the store manager of the supermarket is Jia Gui, who is serving his sentence. The person who assists Jia Gui is Liu Xuanji. These two exiled prisoners have a relationship with Gu Zuo

Shen Shen, especially Jia Gui, was Gu Zuo's inmate, so he was transferred directly from the mine to the Nan Wuzhou Supermarket to manage the sale of daily groceries.

After the eight shops were completed, Master Gao Changjiang and his apprentices began to renovate the scenery along the stream, building stone railings, repairing trees and flowers, and installing stone tables and chairs.

When they were finished, Nan Wuzhou Supermarket was officially opened. The dazzling array of shelves and abundant supplies of daily necessities made everyone full of praise. Gu Zuo cut the ribbon in person and was in a good mood after cutting the ribbon. With this supermarket, annual distribution

At least half of the thousands of dollars of salary going out will be repatriated, which can greatly reduce the financial burden.

Next to the Nan Wuzhou Supermarket is the Pingtai Thatched Cottage, which is specially prepared for Pingtai Villa. As Gu Zuo's first partner and a small shareholder of the Lingshi Mine, of course a shop must be prepared for them.

It's just that Taoist Yuan and Gu Zuo had a dispute over what they would sell when the shop opened. Gu Zuo's idea was to focus on Yuanyang grass, and at worst, underwrite the sales - Huaixian Pavilion had been underwriting the sales, and let them focus on Yuanyang grass.

The purpose is to attract businessmen from all over the world.

Taoist priest Yuan believes that Yuanyang grass can be used as a commercial commodity, but it is by no means the main commercial commodity. He is more willing to sell some specialties of Pingtai Villa, such as blended spiritual wine, and some delicacies and game.

Gu Zuo said that Hanshan Sect is planning to focus on spiritual wine. Their Hanshan Spiritual Liquid is famous in Nanzhao, and you may not be able to compete with it.

In this regard, the original Taoist priest was full of confidence and refused to listen to advice. Gu Zuo had no choice but to let him.

Within two days, Taoist priest Yuan transferred several Pingtai spirit wine sales deacons from Pingtai Mountain Villa, which amazed Gu Zuo, and he turned to worry about the Hanshan sect.
Chapter completed!
