"Sir, you don't know. The eldest lady is kind and distributed the income of the pharmaceutical factory to the female workers, leaving only the money to buy medicinal materials. Although the pharmaceutical factory is getting bigger and bigger, there is really no income to say." Guan Chongguang couldn't help but complain. You Min was very tight on the input of Zhennan Hou Mansion. Unless Zhou Shixiong asked for money personally, no one else could think about it.

"Langsan Mansion is so poor that he can't make a fuss?" Zhou Shixiong was busy fighting around some time ago. After returning to Langsan Mansion a few days ago, he had to deal with Zheng Zai and Van Gandhi again. He really didn't ask about the situation in the mansion. Seeing that Guan Chongguang was so sure, Zhou Shixiong asked with wrinkles.

"Sir, Tinglicheng has already allocated money, and there is not much money there, but the cement official road built in the mansion costs money. In addition to the cost of supplying military supplies, the mansion is really out of money." If Zhou Shixiong hadn't intercepted a batch of spoils in the war in the capital, it would have been a miracle that he had only left the market but had not gone bankrupt for half a year.

"Okay, our government appointed you as the envoy of plenipotentiary, and have a good talk with Van Gandhi. Pingge City can be sold to him. We have also occupied that ancient hard city, and we will sell it together." Speaking of money, Zhou Shixiong's eyes shining. He was afraid of being poor in his previous life because he had no money and could not even find his wife. He could only find a miserable woman to solve his physiological needs. Should this be considered a shadow of childhood or a shadow of previous life? What a difficult scientific problem!

Guan Chongguang led Zhou Er and others to lead 5,000 troops into Taiyuan City, and began negotiations with Van Gandhi in the city. First, he helped Zhou Shixiong take back 40,000 prisoners. In order to save money, Zhou Shixiong led 200 chariots to escort prisoners back to Lang Sang Mansion to reduce the supply pressure of the Lang Sang Army.

Guan Chongguang was even more ruthless. After hearing Zhou Shixiong's explanation of what war compensation is, he immediately asked Van Gandhi to compensate the food and grass consumed by the Langshan Army this time. Zhou Shixiong could bring some of the food and grass back to Langshan Palace for emergency response.

Van Gandhi was already an object on the chopping board. As long as he left a whole body for him, he would agree to any request, and 20,000 stones of food and grass were ready immediately. I hope Ji Hongchang could realize his sincerity in surrendering. The originally ambitious Taiyuan Prefecture Lord, after two unexpected defeats, has transformed into a waste material who does not have anything but faces.

Zhou Shixiong rushed back to Liangshan City with his captives and food. When he saw Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang, he asked the first thing he said, "Auntie, are we out of money?"

Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang smiled, "Hongchang, although the treasury is empty, my aunt still has some dowry here, so she still has money for dinner." Zhou Shixiong asked Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang to get in the car and go with her to understand the financial situation of Lang Sang Mansion.

I don’t know if I don’t ask, Lang Sang’s finances are really as Guan Chongkwang said, and are on the verge of bankruptcy. During the war for half a year, the elephant team was unable to transport the goods to Shing Lung Mansion. Even if they were transported, they were not willing to pick up the goods because the sea route was blocked. As for the new terminal on Gaibo Island in Guangning Prefecture, it could not be put into use even if it was built. One was that there was no merchant ship by the port, and the other was that Lang Sang Mansion itself had no fleet to transport goods, so now it could only be left there for some small fishing boats to use.

Originally, the goods from Langshan Prefecture could be transported to Nanning Prefecture by elephant team. Guan Chongguang left Pingxiangzhou, and Pingxiangzhou and Zhennanguan exchanged Wang Zunde's people. Wang Zunde was determined to monopolize the trade routes, and collected high taxes from past merchants, and limited the size of the caravans, for fear that merchants would join forces to fight taxes. Now the Elephant team had no way to survive, and Langshan Prefecture would naturally have no profits.

"Damn, it's really troublesome to not solve the problem of Xiangzhou. It seems that concessions and compromises are not a solution!" Facing Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang, Zhou Shixiong did not need to pretend to behave. When he thought of it, Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang also agreed with his opinion. The reason why this golden trade route makes money is because the cargo throughput at both ends of the trade route is large enough, and once it becomes a unilateral business, it is difficult to make money.

"It's a pity that Zhennan Hou is dead. It's hard to regain control of Pingxiangzhou!" Zhou Shixiong almost destroyed the Nguyen Phuc family and fulfilled his promise to Nguyen Phuc. Nguyen Phuc was in a good mood and teased Zhou Shixiong with a smile.

"If it's not easy, you can come to the dark, but I don't believe it!" Zhou Shixiong thought of several ways. The first one was to buy the current governor of Xiangzhou and ask him to cooperate with him. Anyway, if he had money together, he would not treat him badly. If the governor was not tactful, Zhou Shixiong would not mind sending him back to his hometown. He made up his mind and chatted with Ruan Phuc Ajiang about other topics.

"Auntie, Ruan Phuket Lo Min apologized, and his adopted father's revenge has been avenged. Hongchang wants to return Lang Sang Mansion to his brother. After all, his brother is the brother of his father." Zhou Shixiong's words made Ruan Phuket narrow his eyes, thinking in his heart what Zhou Shixiong wanted to express. Return Lang Sang Mansion to his brother? This is not convincing to deceive people, but why did Zhou Shixiong say that?

"Hongchang, my aunt made an agreement with you that as long as you can avenge your elder brother, the Langshan Mansion will be yours. Now, check the destruction of the Ruan Phuc family is about to come. What does your statement mean?" I asked if I couldn't figure it out, and Ruan Phuc A Jiangjing and Zhou Shixiong opened the trump card.

"That's right. Van Gandhi will soon hand over the control of Heping Prefecture. At that time, Hongchang plans to go to Heping Prefecture. Lang Sang Prefecture will always be handed over to someone to take care of. With the help of the aunt, it is legitimate to be the lord of this mansion." One of the main reasons Zhou Shixiong gave up occupying Taiyuan Prefecture was that there was no one in his hands, and even if he occupied Taiyuan Prefecture, he could not manage it well. Although Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng were both independent talents, they were unable to serve as the lord of the mansion at this stage, so that Zhou Shixiong could hand over the territory he had worked hard to defeat to others for the governance of the mansion. Zhou Shixiong's aura was not yet at that level.

This time, when he suddenly mentioned the inheritance rights of his brother, Zhou Shixiong wanted to test Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang's attitude. If Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang followed the flow and took over Lang Sang Mansion, Zhou Shixiong would move everyone to Heping Mansion and cut off his relationship with Lang Sang Mansion from then on. Anyway, he had a way out, so he didn't mind being a little bigger. If Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang kept his promise and did not interfere in the affairs of Lang Sang Mansion, Zhou Shixiong would have to consider the issue of Lang Sang Mansion and Heping Mansion as the main and auxiliary.

"Hongchang, your brother is still a child of a child. My aunt is not easy to interfere in government affairs. You can only feel at ease with Lang Sang Mansion. If someone is gossiping, tell my aunt to help you deal with these dogs!" Ruan Phuket rejected Zhou Shixiong's proposal without hesitation. She knew Zhou Shixiong well enough. This guy is a lustful person. He invested so much energy and financial resources in Lang Sang Mansion to develop, it would be strange if he was willing to let go.

Zhou Shixiong's temptation was gone, and the two of them had their own thoughts and stopped talking. Back at the mansion, Ruan Phuket Ajiang went to the back house to talk to Li Jie, and Zhou Shixiong summoned Li Fusheng, Ma San, Gao Fu and others to have a meeting.

"I'll pay a visit to the owner of the house." Gao Fu was so tired that he had never been a construction supervisor for half a year. Gao Fu, who had never been a construction supervisor, was forced to get up early and go into the darkness with the road construction team to supervise the construction of cement roads connecting Langshan City and Tingli City.

"Gao Fu, I didn't expect you to be handsome even if you lose weight!" Gao Fu's full-term belly flattened, and his round face also turned into a national face. His innate black face was clearly angular, which really made him look like a handsome man.

"Hahaha, I just said that Gao is handsome, you don't believe it." Wan Qi'an has been in charge of cement kilns for a while and is a partner with Gao Fu. There is naturally no taboo when they talk about each other well.

"Xiao Wan, I heard that you bought several maids, come over if you are busy!" Zhou Shixiong absolutely trusted Wan Qi'an, and the relationship between the two is even stronger than that of Si Tie.

"Is it because Cheng Peng's lawsuit against him? Isn't it just robbed him of a maid? I'm always thinking about it and being stingy!" Wan Qi'an has been a man again for more than 20 years, and has taken care of the baby sincerely. He doesn't feel at hiding it every night. Fortunately, Zhou Shixiong is generous and gave him ten thousand nanorobots, otherwise he would not be able to withstand his troubles.

"Xiao Wan, I think you should start a family and have children, otherwise it would be no joke to hurt the kidney water." Zhou Shixiong is also a pervert. He knows that people who like women cannot control their lower body. Therefore, he just advised Mr. Wan Qi'an's son to pass on the family line. As for women, he would not say much.

"Hey, don't go too far. This is the meeting hall. Don't show off your family affairs here and talk about serious matters." Li Fusheng has been in Liangsan Mansion in Pingxiangzhou for so long, and he is still a pretty face. I wonder if Zhou Shixiong destroyed his pigment cells when he had plastic surgery and would not be tanned no matter how hard he was sunburned.

"Yes, Jishi said it right. I'll invite everyone to drink after he finishes his work. Let's talk about it later." Zhou Shixiong was not a chatterbox at first, but because he was too nervous during this period, the general situation was settled, and he suddenly relaxed and was just a little gossip.

"Sir, the walls of the Tingli City have been almost built. You can see when it is appropriate to go over and take a look." Of course, the one with the highest status among the people was Li Fusheng, the butler, who also had to be senior in reporting work.

"Okay, I will inspect Lang Sang Mansion in the near future, and the Tingli City will be the first inspection site." Li Fusheng had to give him face, and Zhou Shixiong was also anxious to see what the city wall built with cement looks like, and whether it would be as ugly as modern fake antiques.

"Master, the cement road is almost completed, so why not wait until the road is completed to celebrate together." Gao Fu knew that Li Fusheng was an old friend of the Master, and he couldn't compete with others when he joined the team halfway, but he still had to perform what he should do, otherwise he would have no chance.

"Well, this idea is good. The road is opened and the new city is opened. We will do the two things together to add some joy to Lang Sang Mansion." Zhou Shixiong was very envious and jealous of those high-ranking officials and rich men who held golden scissors and took advantage of the cheongsam beauty while cutting red silk. Now he always has the opportunity to enjoy the same treatment, so of course he will not miss it.

"Brother, I don't want to stay in the cement kiln anymore. You can find someone to take care of me." The two of them came to an end for the time being, and Wan Qi'an jumped out and complained.
