Where is the Taoist Master? Chapter 18: The Swallows Enter the Nest. On March 20th, a caravan came from the north, led by Su San, and arrived at the north entrance of Nanwu Prefecture. Gu Zuo had just laid out the eight gates of Pingdu.

After seeing off the few monks who had completed the magic circle, they received the caravan.

Leading the caravan was the big shopkeeper of Sanhe Grain Store, Jindan monk Wang Sanhe. Along with the caravan came a string of large carts, in which sat eighteen people, including a foundation builder and three Qi refiners.

, the rest are all strong men and women with dark complexions. According to Wang Sanhe, they are all people from Sanhe Grain Store, and all of them are good farmers.

Wang Sanhe personally inspected the land donated by Nanwu Prefecture. They were all south of Shuangfeng Town and north of the mountain ridge, within the main formation. Although the land had not been cultivated, it was very fertile, which made Wang Sanhe very satisfied.

The people of Sanhe Grain Store were divided into two places. Fourteen farming experts began to build houses around the planned fields, and the remaining four people followed Wang Sanhe to take over the store.

Watching Wang Sanhe take out more than twenty storage instruments from his pocket, pour out bags of various grains, and watching the grains being piled into the warehouse at the back, Gu Zuo's heart that had been hanging around these days finally calmed down.

It fell back down.

One thousand shi of grain is enough to last for a long time. As expected, I have food in hand and I don’t feel panic.

Starting from the arrival of Sanhe Liangpu, a large number of caravans arrived in South Wuzhou one after another. It was the Yuanhe system cultivation sect that Gu Zuo had negotiated. The Xianglu Sect, Hanshan Sect, Guchi Sect, Wanhe Valley, and Lotus Leaf Cave were all composed of

The boss led them and stationed in their respective shops to take over the territory promised by Gu Zuo.

Even Shen Hongfu of Hongfu Temple arrived with two disciples. Gu Zuo promised to find him a place with elegant scenery and build a villa in Hongfu Temple. In the future, he could move his legs and live in turns. Shen Hongfu came

After that, they went straight to find their friend, Taoist Priest Lingyuan, and the two disciples began to look for a place to build a separate courtyard.

As soon as the Yuanhe sects arrived, Shuangfeng Town became lively. These sects were all small sects and had no experience of setting up branch offices outside. At this moment, they suddenly had shops in South Wuzhou, and they all took them seriously.

More than a dozen capable monks came, all ready to roll up their sleeves and get going.

Disciples from each sect were tidying up the shops, and the masters quickly gathered around Gu Zuo, especially Wang Hanshan and Gu Zhongchi who were the most diligent and eager. The reason was simple: they wanted to issue stocks.

That night, Gu Zuo held a banquet to entertain all the sect leaders and masters, accompanied by the original Taoist Priest. The banquet was arranged, and even Wang Sanhe, the highest cultivator, arrived, but Shen Hongfu did not come. Gu Zuo sent someone to invite him for the third time, but still did not invite him.

People were invited, but Taoist Priest Lingyuan delivered a message on his behalf.

"I'm busy preparing to open the third mine here. I asked Junior Brother Shen to stay and help. Your banquet will start first, so you don't have to wait for him."

Gu Zuo was very embarrassed and said to everyone: "I have few manpower here and the mining work is urgent. Guanzhu Shen was left to mine by Taoist Priest Lingyuan. I'm sorry. But it doesn't matter. Let's drink first."

Wang Hanshan immediately expressed his position: "Master Gu, please don't be polite. Our Yuanhe sect is here to help each other. If you need manpower here, just say so. We, Hanshan, have sent twelve disciples who can take care of Master Gu at any time."

Gu Zhongchi also said: "Anyway, I am idle. If the owner of the museum has any needs, Mr. Gu will be the first to respond!"

Gu Zuo quickly thanked him and raised his glass to drink three times.

During the dinner, Wan Guzhu and Lianye Sanren slowly put down their reserve and talked to Gu Zuo about the future plans of their two sects. There was a hint of issuing stocks in their words. To this, Gu Zuo naturally promised without a word of encouragement.

He talked about a lot of things, which aroused people's thoughts and appetites, making them feel itchy and unbearable.

Zhao Xianglu was still holding hands in the banquet and didn't speak much, but suddenly he danced impromptu to the music of several female disciples. His plump figure, graceful dance steps, and flowing movements displayed in his movements all showed his Chinese character.

The young female monk's elegant and mature style shocked everyone.

Master Wan Gu praised: "When Master Zhao was a music and dance professor in Chang'an Academy when he was young, he danced for the Emperor. Wan only saw him once eight years ago. Today, thanks to Master Gu, he met again.

So elegant."

Gu Zuo couldn't sit still, so he quickly filled the wine glass and raised it to Zhao Xianglu himself: "Gu is lucky enough to be rewarded with Master Zhao's wonderful dance. Please drink this cup to the full and hope that Master Zhao will improve his cultivation."

, you will always be as beautiful as you are today!”

Zhao Xianglu did not take the glass of wine. He turned around and asked his disciple to pour a glass too. He touched the ground with one foot, lifted one long leg behind him, and leaned forward, almost bumping into Gu Zuo's arms. He actually made a flying swallow come in.

The dancing posture of the nest brought the wine glass to Gu Zuo's mouth.

"This is the rule when we toasted to the palace ministers at the Jiaofang Department. Now that my sister has grown older and her beauty has faded, I wonder if the owner of the hotel would like to put our arms around and drink together?"

The audience immediately burst into laughter, high-fiving, praising, and laughing in encouragement.

Urged by the cheers, Gu Zuo smiled and entangled the hands holding the glasses, and fed each other wine. Although Zhao Xianglu was nearly middle-aged, his appearance was not inferior to that of a girl, his figure was even more elegant, and there was a hint of ripeness between his eyebrows.

Er, at this moment, Gu Zuo's arms were intertwined and their skins were touching. His chest suddenly swayed and he wanted to put his arms into his arms.

Of course, Gu Zuo didn't do anything in the end. Although Zhao Xianglu made an intimate gesture, if you think about this gesture carefully, if you want to reach out and take advantage, you really can't!

But this time, Zhao Xianglu's previous indifference and rejection of Gu Zuo has almost faded away. Not only has it faded away, but the relationship between the two seems to have become much closer. This is the advantage of mature female cultivators over non-male cultivators.

comparable.

There are eight shops in Shuangfeng Town, which is very lively, but it is impossible to provide goods to the two hundred people in Nan Wuzhou alone, otherwise they will all lose money, which is not Gu Zuo's original intention to develop Nan Wuzhou. Therefore,

At the banquet, in front of everyone, Gu Zuo announced a policy:

Nan Wu Prefecture encourages people from all over the world to come and settle down. Those who are willing to place their household registration in Nan Wu Prefecture will receive houses and land as gifts. For sects that introduce people to settle in Nan Wu Prefecture, rewards will be given per person, regardless of gender, old or young.

Anyone who comes will be rewarded consistently!

As soon as this policy was announced, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion at the table. All the bosses were counting on their fingers to see how much profit they could make.

Gu Zuo thought about it for a long time, repeatedly calculated the needs, and after observing the efficiency of Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice in building houses, he finally made up his mind to recruit 3,000 households and 10,000 people within three years.

Land transfer itself is a process, and there is no issue of expense or cost. The more land is transferred, the greater the harvest will be in the future. There is no doubt that Nan Wu Prefecture covers an area of ​​more than one million acres, of which there are about 200,000 cultivated flat lands.

There are more than 300,000 acres of hillside land that can be developed, enough to accommodate 3,000 households.

The cost of gifting a house is not as high as many people imagine. Three rooms for a family and a wall are enough. This kind of simple house is far from comparable to eight Linxi shops. With the ability of Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice,

Building a hundred houses a month is not a problem, the cost of each house is no more than 2 guan. Three thousand houses only cost 6,000 guan.

As for the introduction fee for attracting people to become naturalized, Gu Zuo prepared 10,000 yuan. He gritted his teeth and spread the money. Recruiting people would be better than anything else. As long as there are people, are you afraid that Nan Wu Prefecture will not be able to develop?
