The junction between the west and north of the city is the most luxurious place in the capital except for the imperial palace, with a square structure, and most of the blocks are independent mansions and powerful houses.

There is a large square in the middle, surrounded by shops, restaurants, theaters, teahouses, study rooms, arenas, etc. The journey is either rich or noble, not as rich as the east and south of the city, nor as lively as the east and south of the city, but there are also many people.

I often see the elderly taking their little grandson and their granddaughter to stroll around, free and easy.

It is very safe here, not even a thief, there are many patrol teams, day and night. When they see people with despicable behavior, they will immediately come forward to ask questions. If there is any abnormal movement, they will take it down on the spot.

Fengyang Hou Mansion is located on the west side of the main square and enters through an alley.

The alley is spacious, the ground is clean, paved with blue bricks, and the green trees on both sides, making the environment very good.

Du Yong walked forward with his hands behind his back, his steps leisurely.

Yang Jin carried the gift, walked with a dragon and tiger, his eyes emitting sharp light, and his bodyguard was full of posture.

Lingling followed her, her face was novel and excited, and she stopped and looked around, often unable to keep up with the rhythm.

"Young Master, the big square outside is so lively, why is this alley so quiet? There are so many houses on both sides, why are there no one living there?"

After Lingling followed, she became a curious baby.

Du Yong said lightly: "The houses on both sides are not people, but various warehouses. Many people will come to pick up or stock up in the morning and evening."

Lingling nodded: "No wonder, the rent for warehouses in such places must be very expensive, right?"

Du Yong smiled and said, "Look at what functions, such as the ice warehouse and the golden knife fish warehouse, they are very expensive, the vegetable and fruit warehouse is relatively cheap, and there are also various daily necessities warehouses."

Lingling said with admiration: "Young Master, you understand very well."

Du Yong shrugged: "The whole alley belongs to the Du family, how can I not understand?"

"ah?"

Lingling widened her eyes, obviously shocked, and looked back and forth: "All the alleys are so wide and so long, are they owned by the Du family?"

Du Yong smiled and explained: "Du's family has an iron hat, and it's understandable that the ancestors left some industries... In fact, this is nothing. The Iron Hat Prince next door occupies two streets, so the rent is full of money."

Lingling was amazed: "Two streets? If you sell them, how much will it cost!"

"Little money fan!" Du Yong complained.

"Lingling is not a little money fan." Lingling explained coquettishly: "I'm just curious."

"How can this kind of industry be sold? It's like the farmer's land, I'm sorry for my ancestors if I sell it." Du Yong laughed.

"Don't the farmer's fields rented?" Lingling grabbed her little head.

"Who told you that they were all rented? Pingzhou, Yaozhou, Qiongzhou, Dongzhou, and Mozhou have all experienced large land reclamation before, and many farmers have their own fields."

Du Yong stayed in the Seventh Team of Feng Group for a while and gained a lot of knowledge. Da Yan is a prefecture-county system, with a total of twenty-four states. Each state has a very large area and good resources, but most places need development.

For example, in Yaozhou, there are many shallow swamps. After a little repair, they will be fertile fields or fish ponds. They were chaotic before and no one developed them. After the founding of the country, Dayan introduced many relevant policies, attracting many farmers to settle down and develop.

For example, in Dongzhou, because of frequent wars, many farmers go to the mountains to hide, cultivate coarse grains, and can survive. The government guides and encourages the cultivation of the country, and whoever opens the property will be the one who is, and taxes can basically be ignored.

Du Yong suddenly remembered something: "Lingling, isn't your family from Dongzhou? Don't you know about the cultivation of the country?"

Lingling's eyes showed sadness and she whispered: "Lingling can't even remember the incident in Dongzhou."

It should be because I remembered my family who died in the war.

If there were no Sha family, she would have died too.

Du Yong quickly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Lingling wiped her eyes and shook her head: "Young master, it's okay."

Du Yong sighed inwardly and grinned: "Where did you come from just now? You are a little wealthy fan..."

Lingling rolled her eyes: "Young master is really, everyone said she was curious."

Du Yong didn't care about that much and looked at Yang Jin: "Butler Yang, how much is Lingling's monthly money?"

Yang Jin chuckled: "It's two liang, but sometimes I'll give you a lot of money when buying vegetables. She should have had a kickback, haha!"

Du Yong felt fun and pretended to be very serious: "The little girl was just a beautiful woman, and she really needed money to buy rouge, powder, clothes, headbands, etc. From now on, the monthly money will be 5 taels, and you can give her more money to buy vegetables, so that she can get a kickback... This should not be called a kickback, it is called a full bag."

Yang Jin said, "It means almost the same thing, it's just a side door anyway."

Listening to Du Yong and Yang Jin's sing and teasing each other, Ling Ling stamped her feet: "The young master and Brother Yang are not good people!"

Du Yong laughed: "Just just have fun. The maids around the old lady don't have five taels a month. Before I live in another house, I only spent ten taels a month on pocket money."

Lingling didn't believe it: "Impossible, don't the young master go to Fengcuilou often? You can't go for ten taels of silver once, right?"

Du Yong looked proud: "I used to compete with others, and I won a lot of money, but I never lost."

Yang Jin immediately broke the situation: "You lost 500 taels when you compete with the Second Highness."

Lingling opened her mouth wide: "Did you lose 500 taels in one fight?"

Yang Jin continued: "He also implicated Zhao De's help and lost more than 1,000 taels."

Du Yong was helpless: "Zhao Dezhu is purely a fool. I winked at him at that time. He even bought me to win. Not only did he lose money, but he also offended the Second Highness."

Yang Jin laughed: "A god of gambling, just bet happily, how could you think so much?"

Du Yong sighed: "I don't know what happened to that guy in Chuanming County, there is no news."

Lingling raised her hand: "Lingling knows the news about Chuanming County."

Du Yong and Yang Jin both looked at her strangely. Lingling explained: "I heard from Mr. Storyteller... General Manager Nie rushed over and suppressed the thieves with Qu Shaoqing. Now is the stage of sweeping."

Du Yong was not angry: "Saying it means not saying it. Who doesn't know about this kind of big road news?"

Lingling stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

While talking and laughing, we arrived at the end of the alley, where the Fengyang Marquis Mansion was.

Whether it is the tall wall, the grand gate, or the energetic doorman, they all show the authority of the Hou's Mansion.

"Young Master Yong, you are here!" The guard came forward.

"Um."

Du Yong nodded and asked, "Are the second and fourth uncles all here?"

"He's here long ago." The guard replied.

"Is it the latest again?" Du Yong stroked his forehead.

I hurried into the door, and there were busy servants everywhere. After seeing Du Yong, I greeted him very enthusiastically and couldn't even nod. After passing through the courtyard, I met Du Mou and Du Qiong in the corridor.

"Brother Yong!"

Du Mou began to bow from afar, as polite as ever, and had a very elegant temperament as a gentle nobleman.

Du Qiong was a little listless and forced a smile: "Brother Yong!"

"Brother Qiong, are you still angry with me?"

Du Yong walked forward, bowed to Du Qiong to the end, and apologized: "Brother Qiong, I was wrong that day. You also know my temper. You can say whatever you think of, and you can't hide your words at all."

Du Qiong helped Du Yong up and pretended to be angry and said, "What are you doing? I'm not angry with you at all. I apologize if I apologize. It was indeed Captain Mo's fault that day. I didn't stop him or speak for you. It's really not. The boss asked me to suspend my job and reflect. Is your injury a big deal?"

Du Yong shook his head: "Brother Qiong, you are not angry with me. What does this minor injury mean? Your suspension of work should not affect your future promotion. If that is the case, I will die."

Du Qiong laughed in silence: "It's not that serious, who won't make any mistakes?"

Du Mou nodded: "Brother Qiong said, in my opinion, it will only be a few days."

Du Qiong laughed and said, "Then I will lend you auspicious words."

Du Yong looked at Du Mou and patted his shoulder: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your kid's skills have improved again, and he has become much more calm. No wonder he can work as a job at Weiwei Temple."

Du Mou was humble: "I just took the job and I am not comparable to Brother Yong. As for my skills, I have indeed made some progress, but it is just a three-fold engraving. Compared with Brother Yong, it is not worth mentioning at all."

Du Yong laughed in silence: "You are humble and modest, don't get me involved. I just got a piece of seal back and can't use all my strength."

Du Mou was very serious: "Even if Brother Yong doesn't have to do his best, he can play with the enemy in his palms. The masters of Weiwei Temple are very impressed when they talk about you."

Du Yong laughed and said, "Don't scare me, the masters of Weiwei Temple are so proud. Do you admire me as a patient?"

Du Mou shouted: "I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, please ask Brother Qiong, right?"

Du Qiong returned to his usual smile: "It's true, many people want to compete with Yongdi."

Du Yong said shamelessly: "When my injury is completely healed, they must be killed by winning... they are gamblers, right?"

Du Mou laughed: "Brother Yong is still the same, he is excited to talk about the competition."

Du Yong shook his head: "It's not exciting to have any competition at all. Only by adding up the competition and gambling money will it be exciting, which will inspire my fighting spirit."

Du Mou sighed: "I think Dali Temple and Weiwei Temple can have a friendly match to ease the tense relationship."

Du Yong was stunned: "Is the relationship between the two yamen very tense?"

Du Mou said, "Of course I'm nervous, fortunately there is a adjustment from Your Highness, otherwise the case will not be investigated at all."

Du Yong thought for a while: "It's the people from Weiwei Temple who are making trouble? We don't have many supervisors in the capital now."

Du Qiong nodded with a wry smile: "In my opinion, some people are simply full and have not participated in the case, but they like to point fingers."
