Chapter 151: Return to Civilian Life, Mount Shu?

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

‘There were many mountains in Great Xia. Around Chang’an, there were also scattered mountain ranges.

The place Yin Wuyou pointed out to Zhou Shu was a small mountain 30 kilometers north of Chang’an.

This small mountain was only two hundred meters tall, but it occupied a large area. With the small mountain as the center, everything within 1.5 kilometers was his territory.

Zhou Shu did a quick calculation in his heart. With his shallow calculation ability, he was unable to calculate how many acres of land it was.

“The place isn’t big. It’s only about fifteen hundred acres,” Yin Wuyou said lightly, resolving Zhou Shu’s doubts.

How big was 1,500 acres of land? In Zhou Shu’s previous life, there were two top universities in China. One of them occupied 1,000 acres of land, while the other occupied more than 800 acres of land. The two of them added up to over 1,500 acres.

This was countless times bigger than the oth Workshop!

According to Yin Wuyou, such a large place was just so-so. But to Zhou Shu, possessing such a large territory was simply unimaginable.

Could one imagine owning Tsinghua Garden and Weiming Lake?

“Such a big piece of land is mine?” Zhou Shu gulped.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen the world before. He was considered someone with status now. But some habits from his previous life were still deeply ingrained in him. As Chinese, he had an inexplicable attachment to owning land.

“That’s a way to see it.” Yin Wuyou nodded.

‘The Huaxia Pavilion belonged to Zhou Shu. As long as he was alive, this piece of land would be his.

Huaxia, does it represent a prosperous Great Xia‘? Yin Wuyou pondered.

If Yin Wuyou wasn’t here, Zhou Shu would probably be laughing like a pig squealing right now.

It was such a huge territory. He could build it however he wanted without paying for it. Wasn’t this like money falling from the sky?

Grand Minister, don’t worry. I will definitely forge the weapon I’m giving you well. I’ll definitely make you the most outstanding heroine!

Otherwise, it would be a waste of the territory you asked for to give me!

Yin Wuyou pondered for a moment before saying, “The surrounding land was all given to me by His Majesty. If you think it’s not enough, I can give you my land. I don’t have any other uses anyway.”

“The surrounding land belongs to you, Grand Minister? Does this mean that we are fated to be neighbors again?” Zhou Shu said subconsciously.

Yin Wuyou blushed. Is this fate?

Yes, it is indeed fate!

Yin Wuyou wanted to flee from the scene but suddenly said, “Oh yes, I almost forgot. One more thing.”

“There’s more?” Zhou Shu said in surprise. Isn’t this surprise too much?

He wouldn’t be able to digest it anytime soon.

“There are no more rewards.” Yin Wuyou shook her head. “It’s something else.

“Do you still remember that His Majesty issued a decree for you to participate in the Great Xia’s military parade as a Forging Apprentice?”

“[ remember. I’m a Forging Master now. Do I not need to participate?” Zhou Shu said.

He was not very interested in participating in these activities. After all, he didn’t care about the rewards given by Great Xia.

‘Was he, Marquis Zhou, someone who lacked those things now?

What is the point of competing?

I’m not targeting.

“Of course not. You have to participate. Not only do you have to participate, but you have to win!” Yin Wuyou said seriously.

“Why?” Zhou Shu said helplessly. He really didn’t want to be involved in this. His goal was to stay in the Forging Division and happily forge weapons while harvesting the benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon.

“There’s no reason! I’m the grand minister. I have the final say!” Yin Wuyou returned to being the swift and decisive Grand Minister and spoke resolutely.

This sudden change made her look exceptionally charming.

Zhou Shu was momentarily stunned.

Under Zhou Shu’s gaze, Yin Wuyou’s unyielding attitude lasted less than three seconds before breaking.

She fled with Haitang, walking and shouting, “Don’t think you don’t have to listen to me just because you’re a marquis. The Huaxia Pavilion is under the Forging Division. I’m the grand minister. You have to listen to me. You must win the parade!”

Yin Wuyou had already disappeared, and her voice was still coming from afar.

Her voice was full of energy, and it seemed like her injuries were almost completely healed. Her recovery ability was indeed stronger than a sixth-rank martial artist. Sun Gongping had yet to wake up.

Yin Wuyou ran back to the princess’s residence, her pretty face still a little hot.

“Oh no, I forgot to tell him what to take note of during the military parade!” Yin Wuyou suddenly exclaimed.

‘There were countless thoughts in his mind, but he felt powerless as to how to implement them.

He was not an architect in his previous life. When he built the oth Workshop, it was not a big place. It was fine if he just instructed the workers haphazardly.

It was such a big place now. If he continued to mess around, wouldn’t he be wasting this territory?

What style should it be built in? Jiangnan Garden? Or Immortal Palace Garden?

‘There were many beautiful buildings in Zhou Shu’s mind, but he didn’t know how those buildings were built or whether they could be displayed in this world.

Why does building a house feel harder than forging? Zhou Shu rubbed between his brows, his head aching.

He was a Forging Master. To him, forging was easy, but building a house was a completely different thing.

Forging? Why can’t I use the method of forging to build the Huaxia Pavilion? A thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Shu’s mind.

At the same time, he recalled a documentary he had watched in his previous life.

‘The more he thought about it, the brighter Zhou Shu’s eyes became.

If can make the Wudang Golden Peak reappear in this world.

Zhou Shu suddenly became excited.

Is there a better idea than building the Huaxia Pavilion based on the method used by Wudang?

‘The so-called Wudang Golden Peak was a golden palace on the peak of Mount Wudang in his previous life. The golden palace was constructed from gold-plated copper and wood. Zhou Shu remembered clearly that the documentary said that the golden palace used a total of 20 tons of refined copper and

300 kilograms of gold!

The entire palace was assembled from components that had been forged.

Zhou Shu was a Forging Master. Although forging components were not forging weapons, the principles were similar. To him, it was not a big problem.

The problem was how to design this golden palace.

Although Zhou Shu remembered its appearance, the actual construction method wouldn’t be described in detail in the documentary. Even if it was introduced, he wouldn’t remember it.

I won’t be able to figure it out on my own. But the construction standards in this world aren’t bad either. Perhaps the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works might have a solution.

However, if I build the Huaxia Pavilion this way, the building cost will be sky high.

I wonder if the Imperial Court can fork out that much money.

Zhou Shu had some doubts about this. Although Yin Wuyou told him to build whatever he wanted and that everything would be paid for by the Imperial Court, he would be a fool if he really took it seriously.

If he really built whatever he wanted on a piece of land that was more than 1,500 acres, he could empty Great Xia’s national treasury!

In that case, not only would Emperor Yuan Feng not agree, but all of Great Xia’s officials would also chew him out.

Even if the Imperial Court doesn’t pay, I’ll pay out of my own pocket to build the Wudang Golden Peak! Zhou Shu thought. It’s just money.

Ifhe didn’t have money, he could just forge a few more weapons!

The Huaxia Pavilion would be his base camp. No matter how much money he spent, it was worth it!

Other than the Wudang Golden Peak, the Hanging Temple can also be used as reference.

Zhou Shu felt that his train of thought had been completely opened up. The Hanging Temple had been constructed by the ancient craftsmen in his previous life according to the Daoist school’s requirements of not hearing the sound of chickens and dogs barking, The entire structure was strange,

suspended, and ingenious.

But Huaxia Pavilion’s mountain was too short. It would probably be a little difficult to build a hanging temple. He had to think of how to adapt to the existing conditions.

And the Mount Shu I saw in TV dramas.

The more Zhou Shu thought about it, the more excited he became. The territory of the Huaxia Pavilion was like a canvas for him to paint as he pleased.

There’s actually a lake at the foot of the mountain. I can make it scenic. In the future, when everyone is tired from forging, they can go and relax.

My Huaxia Pavilion can’t be too tacky. It has to have an immortal aura

I’m going to look for professionals from the Ministry of Works. I have to design the blueprint first.

Zhou Shu picked up the map and walked out.

As for the forging of the components, as long as there are the blueprints, Zhang Yibei and the others can forge them. This is actually the easiest.

Oh yes, this mountain doesn’t seem to have a name yet.

Zhou Shu pondered as he walked toward the Ministry of Works.

I wonder who has the naming rights. Speaking of which, the entire mountain belongs to the Huaxia Pavilion. The naming rights should also belong to me.

What should I name it?

Mount Shu? Mount Tai? Mount Wudang?
