"Go to Haizhou and Xuzhou?"

When Wu Haogu's suggestion, the old man Wu Chengchangwu frowned a little.

"Is there good?" asked the old man, who was a few years younger than Wu Chengzhi, who was actually aged, "Our Wu family has been in Luoyang for hundreds of years..."

The ancestor of the Baibo Wu family was Wu Zetian when she was the queen. Luoyang was the capital of Wuzhou. But now the emperor's surname is Zhao, and Luoyang is also declining. There is nothing good about it at all. It's just that the hometown is hard to leave.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Haizhou, Xuzhou is of course good! Haizhou has a port, close to the Huaihe River, developed water transportation, and Yuntai Xianshan, which is outstanding.

As for Xuzhou, it is even better. Not only canal benefits, but also iron ore and copper ore in Panmashan, as well as stone carbon, which can be said to be rich in resources.”

In addition to painting, doing business, and flattering these days, Wu Haogu also carefully studied the customs, customs, goods and transportation in various parts of the Song Dynasty. The Hanlin Academy has a map of the country and country of the Song Dynasty. Although the painting was not accurate, it marked the properties and population of various parts.

After some investigation, Wu Haogu discovered that the best territory in the Song Dynasty was actually the place where Xuhai (Xuzhou Sea Battle).

Because Xuzhou has very good coal mines and iron ore! And they are also mines that are already under mining. Among them, the iron ore is located in Panmashan, Pengcheng County. It is a thousand-year-old mine, but there is no sign of exhaustion (it was still being dug in the century). In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo in the Song Dynasty, a Liguojian was established there, which was specialized in iron smelting. It is now an important iron smelting town in the Song Dynasty!

Needless to say, the coal mine was a famous century-old coal city in later generations, and the coal mine in Xuzhou was discovered and started to be mined in the Song Dynasty.

In a place, if coal mines and iron ore are concentrated, and they are close to the sea estuary, the water transportation is very convenient, and it is also a grain-producing area and a large plain, with a large population... This future is difficult to limit!

By the way, there are many porcelain kilns near Xuzhou, which are important porcelain production centers in the Northern Song Dynasty! Although they are not good porcelain, the production scale is not small. The products can be sold far and wide by selling them through Haizhou Port.

Therefore, Wu Haogu is now thinking about choosing Xu Hai and the other provinces as their future investment focus after Christie's career achieves considerable success.

He looked at his clan uncle and smiled and said, "If Uncle Qi intends to let some of the Wu family's children settle down in Xuhai, his nephew can invest at most a thousand hectares of land."

One thousand hectares are one hundred thousand acres!

According to the average land price in Xuzhou and Haizhou, it costs up to 200,000 yuan!

When this mouth opened, not only Wu Chengchang was a little stunned, but even Wu Dalang's father Wu Chengzhi was stunned.

That's 200,000 yuan, and I'm giving it to those poor relatives in vain? Could it be that Wu Dalang has drunk too much?

Wu Chengzhi thought about it, and then asked uncertainly: "Da, Dalang, do you mean to let all the children of the Bai Bowu family go to Xu and Hai to settle down?"

"Dad," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The child means to ask some of the Wu family's children to Xu and Haizhou.

The Baibowu family now has more than 1,300 male men. It’s not good to squeeze in the ground. It should be divided into one point. Only one point can make a sprout!”

Of course, Wu Haogu would not have taken out 200,000 yuan in vain... He meant to demolish Bai Bowu's family and take half of it to Xuhai and Erzhou to build a division family, and become the patriarch of the division family by himself.

In this way, he has a clan to rely on!

Didn’t Ma Zhi say that? The way to be a general is to have counselors, dead men, disciples and clans.

Staff members and dead men have to be trained by the Six Arts Academy, and the disciples can be recruited slowly, and the clans have to go to the Baibowu family to find them... They are! Moreover, the Baibowu family is a Yimen who takes the imperial examinations. Wu Haogu can open the "Six Arts Family School" in the name of the Wuju, and first teach a group of sons and nephews who are proficient in the Six Arts.

In addition, if hundreds of men from the martial arts family moved to Xuzhou and Haizhou and reunited to live together, one or two "dabaobao" could be built.

This Baoding is a legal civil force in the Song Dynasty!

"This matter is also good for the Wu family's children who stayed in Baibo." Wu Haogu continued to persuade, "If half of the people can be divided, the land will be the same as the original one, isn't it equivalent to twice the land for each person?"

This is actually a win-win situation. Baibo Yimenwu did not rely on fighting to run rampant Luoyang. He relied on imperial examinations. It was useless to have a large population, and he had to run a good family school. Although the education cost of moral articles is relatively low, it would cost a little money after all. The difficulties faced by Baibowu's family now are that the population is too large and the land has not grown, so where can the money that should have been used for education be supported?

If the population is reduced by half, the education funding will naturally be relatively abundant, which will ensure that every child receives a relatively good education.

"This matter..." Wu Chengchang turned his gaze to Wu Chengzhi, as if he was asking the head of the Kaifeng Wu family's family's meaning if the conditions Wu Haogu said count?

Wu Chengzhi smiled bitterly and pointed at his son and said, "My family is divided. My eldest brother is good at martial arts and his family business is rich. He has paid tens of thousands of dollars for this big mansion. Xuzhou and Haizhou are also his own money for buying land."

What?

I am still here, but my sons split up their families. Isn’t this too filial? It seems that although the Kaifeng Wu family has money, they are merchants after all, and they cannot compare with Baibo Yimen Wu in terms of filial piety, etiquette and law.

Wu Chengchang frowned, and was about to teach Wu Haogu a lesson, but suddenly he realized that this kid was a God of Wealth. Although others were not good, his money was good! So he just said the most and swallowed it back.

Wu Haogu saw Wu Chengchang frowning and thought that the old man wanted to get some benefits for his small family, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, I am now the attendant of the Hanlin Painting Bureau. After a while, I will follow the Minister of the Ministry of Rites to Liao. As usual, I can bring a few students. Why not choose one of my brothers who come to Kaifeng Prefecture? Although the Hanlin Painting Academy students are not officials, they are still officials and have a portion of imperial grain."

What? Officials from Hanlin Academy!

Now Wu'er's eyes lit up. The students of Hanlin Picture Academy are not very good at Kaifeng Prefecture, but they can already be fooled in Luoyang. At least they can scare the clerks in the county government responsible for collecting taxes. In addition, the salary of this Hanlin Picture Academy should not be too small, right? They are all called "Hanlin"...

"Okay!" Old Wu smiled, "I'll tell you, Brother Ninth, Haoyi, to follow you."

Wu Haoyi is naturally Wu Chengchang’s own son!

"So what happened to establish a family division in Xuzhou and Haizhou?"

"It's covered by the old man!" Wu Chengchang agreed in full, and he was the one who was the real manager of the Bai Bo Wu family.

His father Wu Zhongyi actually cares nothing. The old man is a nerd and has been obsessed with the imperial examinations all his life. When he was young, he was a famous child prodigy in Luoyang. When he was seventeen, he passed the first pass in one fell swoop. At that time, he was famous in Luoyang. Many people thought that the Bai Bowu family was about to be a Jinshi.

But unexpectedly, Wu Zhongyi's luck in the imperial examination stopped at the trial. He took the exam seven times, and passed the trial successfully every time, but he turned to the Ministry of Rites. When he was 40 years old, he was qualified as a tribute student and could go to the Ministry of Rites to take the trial without going through the trial. However, Wu Zhongyi failed every time after the trial. He was still in his sixties and did not give up. He is still studying hard at home and is preparing to take the Ministry of Rites for the third year of Yuanfu...

While talking, Wu Haowen walked in with a young man in his twenties and thin figure.

"Dad, the brothers from Luoyang have settled down," he told Wu Chengzhi. "I saw that they were all tired and hungry, so I told this Jiu Ge'er that I asked the brothers to go and use the water mat first."

These poor relatives are really pitiful. They didn't bring much money when they went out to travel far. They slept in the open all the way, and they ate dry food without any oil or water. When they arrived at the Wu family's mansion, they smelled the aroma of various meats and vegetables, and their stomachs couldn't help but rumble.

So Wu Haowen discussed with Wu Chengchang's son Wu Haoyi, and arranged for most of the poor brothers in the Wu family in Luoyang to eat and drink first, and then report back to Wu Haoyi himself.

However, after saying this, Wu Chengchang's old face turned red. When he was embarrassed, Wu Haogu stood up and smiled and smoothed out: "Second brother, I'm a little hungry after you said this.

Dad, Uncle Qi, why not join the table and chat while eating."

"Okay," Wu Chengzhi smiled, "Then let's go to the table... Today, I invited the monk from Daxiangguo Temple to cook meat and vegetables. Qi Ge'er should also try these wine and meat monks' skills."

...

"Report to the official, the tall officials from the Duan Prince's Mansion and the art and academic officers from the Hanlin Academy of Painting have arrived."

Wu Haogu, Wu Chengzhi, Wu Chengchang and others had just entered the banquet, and before the food and food came, the servants of the Wu family came to spread the news.

It was Gao Qiu who arrived! He also brought the Artist Gou Dushi of the Academy of Pictures. Wu Haogu hurriedly accused Wu Chengchang of guilt and hurried to the door. He saw that Gao Qiu and Gou Dushi were both dressed in scholars, with their clothes as wind, and were so handsome. Gao Qiu and Gou Dushi had their own children behind each other. A woman stood behind Gao Qiu, who was Lu Qian's wife, Madam Gao, who was close to Gao Qiu, and she was also a famous matchmaker in the north wing of the city. Gao Qiu brought her today for the marriage between Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian.

Zhao Ji's "being a matchmaker" is just a matter of saying. Although it is worth ten thousand words, it is impossible to send Pan Qiaolian to the Wu family just like this. This is to marry a wife, not to take a concubine! The procedure of the Three Books and Six Lessons cannot be missed, and this process must be presided over by the matchmaker. Gao Qiu brought Mrs. Gao to discuss the matter of being a matchmaker.
