It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money.

On the verge of bankruptcy, Gu Qing felt like he couldn't even walk straight. In the past, when he was surrounded by Han Jie and other personal guards, he walked like a bully and a playboy. In fact, he was confident.

Most of them come from a rich family. I am domineering, I smash stores, I beat people, but I know that I am a good boy, because... I can lose money.

But now, after Gu Qing realized that he was about to go bankrupt, he suddenly felt guilty and short of breath. Even the personal guards following him looked ashamed, like a group of old people hiding from the court to seize their property.

The chubby Li Sima rolled over in anger, stood in front of Gu Qing with tears streaming down his face, and swore to the sky that he really couldn't do it.

Originally, the project for the market was coming to an end. If we rushed the work, it would take about ten and a half days to complete. However, this already included part-time work. Gu Qing limited the time to three days, which made it very difficult to do.

"Master Hou, Xiaguan really has no choice. More than two hundred kilograms are left here. If Master Hou really wants Xiaguan's meat, go ahead and take it. It will never be completed in three days." Li Sima said fiercely, and there was a big problem.

The posture of hitting a pillar and dying due to disagreement.

"Three days, no more than an hour, otherwise I will kill Sima to sacrifice to the sky." Gu Qing said unceremoniously.

Li Sima immediately softened. He knew that Gu Qing was not joking, especially the part about killing Sima to sacrifice to heaven. With the Marquis's decisive and decisive nature, he could really do it.

"Master Marquis, I'm asking you to be reasonable, can you?" Li Sima really cried, looking at him with tears in his eyes and begging.

"Come on, who said I'm unreasonable? When I was in Chang'an, I was known as an honest, reliable and reasonable man." Gu Qing stood outside the construction site, looked around, and pointed at the shop that was about to be built not far away.

Said: "Isn't it almost finished? I can't give you three days?"

Li Sima cried: "What the Marquis saw was only the appearance. In fact, many shops have not yet been erected, and there is a market where the roads are not even paved. Three days is too short. I really..."

Gu Qing patted his greasy shoulder and advised gently: "It doesn't matter if you finish it or not. You can take a good bath and rest in these few days to keep your body in a perfect and clean state, and finally choose a decent way to die.

I will also tell Chang'an Shangshu that you died in the line of duty, and the imperial court will provide a pension to your family every year."

"Master Hou... please stop making trouble."

Seeing that Li Sima's expression was almost desperate, Gu Qing sighed and had to make concessions: "You, the fat is almost growing in your brain, don't you know how to adapt to everything? Those shops that have been built, the details are

Don’t worry about it. The merchants will take care of it themselves after they settle in. You can just do the cosmetic things in these three days. The roads must be paved and the beams must be put up. The other private merchants will take care of it.”

Li Sima was startled when he heard this, and then he counted with his fleshy fingers for a long time. According to Guo Qing's instructions, he could barely finish the work in three days.

"Then... will the official do as the Marquis says? The Marquis will not fall out in three days, right? The official has seniors and juniors, so it is really not suitable to use it to worship God..." Li Sima said pitifully.

"As long as I work hard and don't do it stupidly, I usually won't fall out." Gu Qing smiled slightly, leaving a sentence of suspense that made Li Sima frightened, and then patted his butt and left.

There is a reason to be anxious to open the market. Gu Qing is too short of money, and the Jiedushi government has almost been emptied by him. The market has become his only way to solve the financial difficulties.

Tomorrow, merchants will be gathered for a pre-sale of shops. Gu Qing is full of expectations for the pre-sale. He is planning to hold an auction according to the way he played in his previous life. All shops are divided into several categories according to their geographical location and internal size.

Detailed diagrams were taken out every time, and then the merchants were asked to bid for the auction, and the one with the highest bid got it.

After walking around Kucha City for a whole day, Gu Qing felt a little tired and planned to go back to the camp to sleep.

It was already dark. Gu Qing and his guards passed by the Fuzhi Inn. Strangely, the inn was empty today. There was only one red candle lit inside. There was a beautiful woman sitting under the candlestick, resting her chin on her hands and staring blankly.

Looking at the street outside the door, there is a story in his eyes that he wants to tell but still doesn't want to stop.

Gu Qing couldn't help but turn his head and glance again and again, and his eyes turned red unknowingly.

It’s the nostalgia of another life again. This scene is very much like the little shop on the street in the past life. There is also only a dark red lamp inside, and under the lamp there is a beautiful woman who had to stumble and fall into the water in order to survive. Obviously there is no

It's puzzling that a tool used for haircutting is called a "shampoo room".

The beauties in the inn had no idea what kind of dirty thoughts were in Gu Qing's mind at this moment. Seeing Gu Qing and his guards passing by the door of the inn, Huangfu Sisi's eyes lit up, he suddenly came back to his senses, and kept waving to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing saw her waving, and he knew it was tempting him to enter the store and spend money.

Gu Qing didn't have the confidence to spend money and was a little poor recently, so he deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye and stared straight ahead, planning to pass by her world.

"Master Marquis, stop pretending, I know you have seen me!" Huangfu Sisi exposed his disguise without mercy.

Gu Qing stopped and sighed: "If you don't have money and can't afford to spend money, you and I might as well forget each other..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Marquis? Come quickly, I have prepared something good for Lord Marquis..." Seeing that Gu Qing was still hesitant, Huangfu Sisi said angrily: "I won't charge you any money!"

"Okay!" Gu Qing said unconvincingly, his tone was actually very cheerful.

Xuan cautiously walked into the inn. Gu Qing didn't trust her very much. Usually when people mysteriously say they want to show him a treasure, such a treasure is usually not a good thing.

"Why is the Marquis so worried? Is my inn like a dragon's pond or a tiger's den?" Huangfu Sisi rolled her eyes at him charmingly, her intimate, charming but not too overly coquettish taste was perfectly captured by her.

"What good things have you prepared for me? Tell me quickly. I'm busy." Gu Qing looked around the environment of the inn and said.

Since Gu Qing ordered the shop to be smashed, the front hall of the inn has been renovated, and the materials and furnishings have been replaced with new ones, making it look more upscale.

Indeed, it cannot be destroyed or established. Every reconstruction of civilization is a progress for mankind.

However, when he thought that he was spending his own money, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel a little distressed. If he had known that he would be raising such a group of gold-eating monsters, he should have saved a little more.

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and said, "I just saw the Marquis and Li Sima at the new market construction site. Li Sima wiped away his tears and cried so sadly. Did the Marquis bully the fat man again?"

"What is bullying? You are not willing to do your best, and you want to get promoted and get rich. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "You have been waiting for me to pass by?"

"It's rare for me to see the Marquis once, so I specially waited for you in the store today. I didn't even do any business. I was the only one in the store..."

Gu Qing said seriously: "I sincerely give you a little suggestion. Whether you are waiting for someone or in a daze, don't make the light in the store too dim, and don't sit alone by the door like, 'Master, come and play.'

His expectant look can easily be misunderstood."

Huangfu thought for a moment and subconsciously said: "What's the word 'Master, come and play'..."

Before she finished speaking, Huangfu Sisi finally came to her senses. She was immediately ashamed and angry. Her slender eyebrows were raised, one hand on her waist, and the other stretched out towards Gu Qing, in a typical teapot shape.

She grabbed the soft flesh under Gu Qing's ribs and rotated it 360 degrees clockwise. Gu Qing was caught off guard and was plotted by her. He gasped in pain and looked at her in disbelief with his eyes about to split.

Are we familiar with each other? How dare you touch me!

Turning to look at Han Jie, Gu Qing shouted: "Escort me!"

Han Jie and his guards glanced at the two of them, and then quickly looked up at the beams of the room, neither hearing nor seeing, as if they were enlightened.

"Who does the Marquis take as my concubine?" Huangfu Sisi was so angry that his petite body trembled.

With no one to protect him, Gu Qing decisively became gentle and harmless.

"You think you are the female innkeeper, otherwise what else could you be? I'm kindly giving you a suggestion, but why don't you know what's good and what's wrong? Your conscience has been eaten by a dog?"

Seeing that Huangfu Sisi still maintained the teapot posture with one hand on her hips, Gu Qing understood that this woman was in trouble. A woman in this state would cause trouble to anyone.

"I have something to do. Please say goodbye and don't see me off." Gu Qing turned around and left.

"Stop!" Huangfu Sisi stopped him, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the restless Nascent Soul.

Not angry, not careless, this person is born with this virtue, and you should get used to it.

"Master Hou, wait a minute, I said I have prepared something good for Master Hou..."

With that said, Huangfu Sisi walked into the kitchen behind the screen in the front hall and quickly brought out a tray. There were several dishes on the tray that looked attractive in color. They seemed to know Gu Qing's taste, and they were all meat dishes.

"Your Majesty, the food is delicious. I happen to have learned a few tricks from the cook recently. Please try it, Mr. Marquis." Huangfu Sisi sat across from Gu Qing at the table and looked at him with her chin in her hands.

Gu Qing didn't move.

She was so angry just now that she was bringing out hot new dishes. It was hard for Gu Qing not to suspect that she had done something to the dishes.

Seeing Gu Qing not moving for a long time, Huangfu Sisi snorted: "Master Hou, are you afraid that I will be poisoned?"

Gu Qing said slowly: "Although it's a bit rude to say this, but... yes, I really suspect that you have poisoned me."

Huangfu Sisi was stunned again, she didn't expect him to be so upright.

For a long time, Huangfu thought about it: "Although the Marquis's idea is very reasonable, but... yes, it is really rude for the Marquis to say this."

Giving him a stern look, Huangfu Sisi took the chopsticks and took a bite of each dish, then put down the chopsticks and stared at him unblinkingly.

"I've tried it on you, Lord Marquis, you should be relieved, right?"

Old God Gu Qing raised his face on the ground and said: "Wait a little longer, the poison won't take effect that quickly. If you don't have bleeding from your orifices or diarrhea after half an hour, I'll take it again."

"Is the Marquis worried that I will give you laxatives?" Huangfu thought and smiled: "What a stupid person would do such a thing."
