Chapter 307: How can anyone play with gold like you?
"Dad and Mom, do you remember the bandit camp we seized on the road? Your daughter found their private vault at the residence of the three leaders. There were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in there." After saying that, Yun Duo used her mind to take out a golden ingot from the space and placed it in Li Xiuxiu's hand.
"Look at this, mother. I found several boxes of gold ingots in the bandit camp. They are worth tens of thousands of taels. I put them all in the space. I was afraid that you would be selfless and let me share the gold, silver and jewelry I got, so I didn't dare tell you. Haha! Dad, mother, you won't blame me, right?"
After saying that, he blinked his eyes that seemed to be able to speak and looked at her parents pitifully.
"Dad, actually, I said that the one hundred taels of silver His Royal Highness gave to the villagers to settle down were also paid by me. I didn't use the money that Cheng Yuheng put in my space!"
Yun Duo only told her parents about the gold and silver found in the bandit camp, but did not mention the gold, silver and jewelry looted from the Zhongzhou prefect. After all, that act was theft, which was different from seizing the money from the bandits, and she was afraid of scaring her parents.
Hearing where the banknotes came from, Yun Qingsong was obviously relieved and couldn't help scolding Yun Duo: "Your father is not a fool. Why should he share my daughter's spoils with others? You have already given a lot to others."
After saying this, Yun Qingsong suddenly remembered that he seemed to have overlooked something in his daughter's words. When he realized what was going on, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did you say? Did Cheng Yuheng put all the money in your space?"
Yun Duo nodded guiltily.
Yun Qingsong knew that Cheng Yuheng had discovered his daughter's space, but he didn't expect that the boy would be so confident in leaving the money with his daughter.
"How much?"
Yun Duo was like a little girl who was caught in a premature love affair by her parents. She stammered and whispered: "Not much?"
"How much is a little?" Yun Qingsong got to the bottom of the matter. He wanted to see how sincere Cheng Yuheng was towards his daughter. If he wanted to bribe his daughter with only 18,000 taels, then he would definitely teach his daughter to be more careful in the future.
"That's it - Beining County, Zhongzhou Prefecture and Dongzhou Prefecture. The three rich families have treasury silver. My daughter hasn't counted them specifically. They are all kept separately!"
"Silver from three silver shops?" Yun Qingsong knew that the boy was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. The largest silver shop in the Dazhao Dynasty actually belonged to him, and he even let his daughter keep it with confidence. He felt a little relieved. Although this money was nothing to the boy, didn't it also mean that the boy really loved his daughter?
"Well! Then just leave it alone! Don't mix it up with your own. Return it to him when he needs it."
"Dad, he said this money is a betrothal gift for his daughter, so you don't have to pay it back."
Yun Qingsong looked up at the sky in silence, but all he saw was the roof of the tent.
He calmly took the banknote his daughter had placed on the table and said: "Tomorrow, Dad will go to the county government office to buy Stone Mountain for you, and your name will be on the title deed."
"Dad, if your name is on the deed, you can get tax exemption when you pass the imperial examination. If your name is on the deed, you will have to pay a large amount of land tax every year. We are one family, no one is different from you."
Yun Qingsong felt much better after being recognized by his daughter: "Are you so sure that your father and I will pass the imperial examination?"
"Of course. My father is the best in my heart. Besides, if you can't win, don't you still have my second brother? Isn't it the same if my second brother wins?"
"My daughter, your father would be very happy if there was no second half of the sentence."
"Hehehe! Dad, my dad is the best," Yun Duo said coquettishly while hugging Yun Qingsong's arm and shaking it twice.
"Look at you, girl. You don't look like a grown-up girl at all?" Yun Qingsong said this in a reproachful manner. In fact, he really enjoyed his daughter's coquettish behavior towards him.
Li Xiuxiu looked at the gold ingot her daughter gave her and fondled it. "Duo'er, this is the first time I've touched a gold ingot since I can remember."
"If you like them, I'll take out a few more from my space for you to keep."
Li Xiuxiu's face, which was covered with tears just now, smiled like a flower. "Don't take it out, it's safer to keep it with you. This mother can't be spent for the time being, so put it back!"
"Just give this to mom to play with! I won't put it back."
"No one like you plays with gold."
"My girl, when will we start construction after we buy this stone mountain?" Yun Qingsong asked what was on his mind.
"Dad, the current priority of Xiangyun Village is to open up wasteland and plant crops. After a month, the seedlings can be taken care of by the elderly and women."
Yun Duo took the map of Xiangyun Village and its surroundings from the table and said, "Dad, my daughter's next plan is to have the youth group dig a reservoir at the foot of the West Mountain. You see, it's here."
Yun Duo pointed to a vacant lot at the foot of the West Mountain and upstream of the river: "Look here, Dad. There are mountains on the south and west sides, and dams on the east and north. This way, the fields downstream of our reservoir will not be hit by floods. These fields downstream of the reservoir will all be fertile fields. In the winter, we can build a greenhouse and grow vegetables and strawberries.
If there are not enough people to dig the reservoir, you can hire villagers from the surrounding areas. At the same time, you can also find craftsmen to build houses while digging the reservoir, so you can hire more people.
At present, the wasteland being reclaimed is southeast of Xiangyun Village. After the wasteland is reclaimed, ditches can be dug around it, and water trucks can be placed upstream of the reservoir to divert water for irrigation. I will print out the drawings later for you to study. Once you have studied them clearly, you can guide the villagers to implement them. "
After that, Yun Duo pointed to the northeast again: "Dad, look, the land north of Xiangyun Village is not particularly large, but the geographical location is excellent. Dad, I plan to buy it together with Shitoushan to build the "Xiangyun Resort".
The stones of Stone Mountain can be used to build rockery. Behind the rockery, there are several open-air hot spring pools for multiple people to relax and chat with friends.
Of course, the female bath must be kept private. If it is open-air, will there be any lechers peeping in? I will think about this again. Dad and mom, please help your daughter think about how to design this female bath, or just cancel the outdoor one and make it indoors."
She knew that this era was different from the modern era where men and women could bathe together in bikinis. Here, women's reputation was very important. It would be very troublesome if they were seen.
Yun Qingsong frowned and thought: "Duo'er, Dad thinks that outdoor hot springs are only suitable for men, so it's better to build an indoor hot spring for women. This way, those noble ladies will have one less worry."
Yun Duo held the pencil in her hand and thought: "Dad, you are right. Women's hot springs should be built in stone houses indoors! Then build a few stone house hot springs that can accommodate about ten people or five to eight people, for those ladies who are close to us to bathe together. Build some small stone house hot springs on the mountain that can only accommodate two or three people, with small hot spring pools and rest areas, for women or couples to use."
"Duo'er, I think we can build a few more of these little stone house hot springs. They will definitely be very popular in the future, especially for newlywed couples."
After saying this, Li Xiuxiu blushed and looked at her husband. She felt relieved when she saw that her husband did not blame her for saying such inappropriate words in front of their daughter.
"Mom's suggestion is very good. We can build a few more of these. When we build a new house, I will find a way to bring the hot spring water here. Then each bedroom will have a separate bathroom. Then you and Dad can take a hot spring bath every day."
Yun Duo wanted to say that you could take a bath together, but she knew that her ancient parents were shy and as a daughter, she should not say anything that would make them blush.
When Yun Qingsong heard his daughter say that they could bring hot springs into the new house, he looked at Yun Duo expectantly: "My daughter, can we bring hot springs here from such a far distance? Will it be troublesome?"
"Dad, it's OK. We can use bamboo to connect them and bring hot water over. I will also give you a detailed blueprint. In the future, our house will have water supply and drainage, and there will be a toilet and bathroom inside the house. When we go to the toilet, we just need to press the switch and the filth will be washed away by the water. I will draw a blueprint for this flush toilet someday and ask Jinsheng to go to the ceramic factory to ask if they can make it."
Li Xiuxiu was very envious of the plans for the future new home that her daughter described, and looked at her daughter and husband with anticipation.
Yun Qingsong smiled at Yun Duo and said, "My dear, I understand that you just gave me the blueprints and said you will just leave it to me."
"Haha! Dad, the more capable you are, the more work you should do! Look at me, your daughter. I am good at talking on paper, but I actually have no experience at all. You have rich life experience and can quickly study the drawings thoroughly and apply them to reality." Yun Duo thought that flattery would never wear thin.
Li Xiuxiu tapped Yun Duo's forehead with her hand: "You, little girl, keep your dad busy all day. Even Xiao Si is not as good at acting like a spoiled child as you."
"Of course. I'm my parents' little cotton-padded jacket, so of course I have to act like a spoiled child in front of them. I want to make up for the past ten years of not acting like a spoiled child. Mom, don't be jealous. Your daughter also wants to act like a spoiled child in front of you." Yun Duo leaned her head on Li Xiuxiu's shoulder and said coquettishly.
Yun Qingsong and Li Xiuxiu looked at each other helplessly, both doting on their daughter. They had no choice but to dote on their own daughter: "You girl, do you trust your father so much? In my opinion, you should give the blueprint to your second brother. With his intelligence, he should be able to understand it sooner than your father."
"Mom, my second brother will be the Prime Minister of the Great Zhao Dynasty in the future, and he can't let my small Xiangyun Villa hold him back."
"Do you think so highly of your second brother?"
"That's right! In my mind, my second brother is the material for the future Prime Minister."
