Chapter 328 Chao Xi Palace
"Really? You won't introduce any ugly guy to my Tiezhu, right?" asked old man Wu.
Matchmaker Liu glanced at him sideways.
"How could that be possible? I watched Tiezhu grow up. He is honest, hardworking and capable. The girl I introduced to him is from Yanggou Village. She is so pretty!"
Yanggou Village is seven or eight miles away from the town, but it is not within the demolition range.
Old Man Wu was moved and asked again:
"How much dowry do you want?"
Matchmaker Liu said:
"Oh! Are you still worried about this? The betrothal gift is only a dozen or twenty taels. Although your house is shabby, it occupies a large area. When the demolition compensation comes, it will be at least a thousand or eight hundred taels, plus a resettlement house."
"It is said that the resettlement houses are solid and bright, warm in winter and cool in summer. Girls from all over the country are trying their best to marry in our town. Marrying here will bring you happiness."
Old man Wu was very happy. He didn't expect that the word "demolish" would allow him to get a new daughter-in-law.
When he went home and told Tie Zhu's mother about it, she became so excited that she burned incense and kowtowed, muttering:
"With the arrival of Her Majesty the Empress, we ordinary people can live a good life. May God bless the Angel Empress to live a hundred years without illness or disaster..."

These days, Gu Xi travels back and forth between the two worlds every day, transporting personnel and supplies.
He also took Shen Kuo to a modern oil field for internship. Now that he has returned from his studies, he has been setting up Fengyi State's oil and gas company.
Teacher Lu taught many students and built schools all over the country. There were not only primary and secondary schools to provide children with nine-year compulsory education, but also adult night schools to teach adults about literacy.
Gu Xi also transported the mining equipment to Sakura Mansion. The silver mine was being mined, and the most important thing for its development was capital.
Fengyi Country is developing rapidly, and people from Huaxia Country are also rushing to all parts of the world to mine mineral resources.
Of course, as the only porter, Gu Xi would take a portion of the commission and use it for the development of Fengyi Country.
At the same time, some Chinese people joined forces with Fengyi Country and began to build bridges, roads, high-speed railways and airports in Fengyi Country.
Most of the ordinary workers used are recruited locally.
Farmers had nothing to do after the autumn harvest, but now there are high-paying jobs available, so they all rush to sign up and are full of enthusiasm.
On this day, just as Gu Xi sent away a new batch of Chinese people, Lan Wei came running over.
"Your Majesty, the foundation of the palace has been laid. Please go and take a look."
Chu Zhao drove the car, taking Gu Xi with him, while Lan Wei drove in front to lead the way.
Lan Wei arranged for people to work in shifts day and night to build a spacious and flat two-way eight-lane asphalt road from the old city to the new city. It took only a quarter of an hour to drive to the foundation of the palace.
According to Gu Xi's request, all the workers at the new city construction site had a day off today, and there was no one else around at the moment.
Gu Xi said:
"Close your eyes, I'll perform a magic trick for you."
Lan Wei closed his eyes obediently.
Chu Zhao: (-_^)
Gu Xi: Okay, I knew you would peek.
Gu Xi used his consciousness to take out the luxurious palace sent by the system.
The palace landed steadily on its foundation, silently.
Chu Zhao opened his mouth into an O.
"Okay, you can open your eyes."
Then, two Os.
Lan Wei looked at the magnificent palace gate in front of him with excitement, his fingers trembling:
"This...this...Your Majesty, you have such magical powers, why do you want me to work so hard to build a house?"
This guy Gu Xi is simply not a human being!
As a person who grew up in modern times and firmly believed in materialism and the supremacy of science, Lan Wei was so shocked that he looked up at the sky.
There are gods in heaven, right?
Gu Xi is the god who came down to earth, right?
Being able to store and retrieve objects is fine, but can even a palace be built in one second?
What kind of building is he building?
Chu Zhao glanced at Lan Wei and said, "Look at your ignorant look. My A Xi is very capable!"
Gu Xi said:
"I want to, but this is the only house the system has given us. We still have to build the other houses ourselves."
Lan Wei was still rubbing his hands in excitement.
"Your Majesty, shall we go in and take a look?"
As a professional architect, my love and curiosity for architecture are innate.
"OK!"
The three of them walked into the palace.
The palace is magnificent, with gorgeous interior decoration, gardens, swimming pools and even golf courses outside.
There are also special fitness and leisure areas.
Lan Wei was shocked all the way.
"Wow, this is a classic work that combines Chinese and Western elements! I've never seen a building that combines Chinese and Western elements so perfectly!"
Chu Zhao was much calmer, but there was more joy in his eyes.
A Xi said that he wanted to give himself a palace, but he never dreamed that there would be such a perfect palace.
"From now on, this will be our home!" said Gu Xi.
Except for the building in the front which is used as an office, the rest are their private areas.
Lan Wei calmed down and asked:
"Your Majesty, I wonder if this palace has a name?"
Gu Xi thought for a moment and said:
"Let's call it 'Chao Xi Palace'."
Chaoxi, the names of Chu Zhao and Gu Xi are homophones, which means to live up to the youth and seize the day.
"Chaoxi Palace, what a good name!" Lan Wei praised.
The next day.
The first phase of Tianting Guiyuan and Yunting Yayuan was launched.
More than a dozen buses, packed with people, drove from the old city to the new city under development.
Even so, there were still many people who missed the house-viewing bus and followed behind in their own horse-drawn carriages.
Zheng Qian is a famous businessman in Kyoto.
The Zheng family’s silk is sold all over the world.
He had just returned from inspecting stores in Jiangnan yesterday and was having breakfast in the morning.
His trusted servant came hurriedly.
"Master! Master! There are many huge vehicles parked in front of our silk shop. They say they are buses. They can seat many people. I saw many court officials and their families boarding those buses."
Zheng's Silk Shop is located on the main street of Kyoto, a prosperous area. After all, the silk business is mainly for high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
"Bus?" Zheng Qian looked confused.
I've heard of horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, and donkey-drawn carts, but I've never heard of a bus.
"Let's go and take a look!" The Zheng family's business is so big, mainly relying on Zheng Qian's natural business talent and grasp of business opportunities.
Zheng Qian has traveled all over the country for decades and has seen many new things, so he is never averse to new things.
Since all those dignitaries took that bus, it must have something unique about it.
Zheng Qian and his servant hurried to the entrance of the silk shop, and indeed saw many huge creatures lined up in a long queue on the main street of the capital.
Through the transparent glass window, he could see that the belly of the huge creature was filled with people.
Sure enough, many of them were court officials and their families whom he knew.
Zheng Qian was just about to step forward and ask what they were doing, but he saw those huge creatures suddenly make a roar, which scared him so much that he quickly took a few steps back.
