Flying Clouds in Another World

Chief Butler Liu Xu had no expression on his face, neither happy nor angry, he just replied calmly: "Not even one!"

Liu Feiyun's expression froze, and the other three people also had different expressions.

Liu Feiyun knew that when Chief Butler Liu Xu said this, he was not being upset with him, blaming him for starting a new organization with the same functions as Liu Xu. In his eyes, there was only his father Liu Shihao before, and now there is only himself.

As for fighting for fame and fortune in the Liu family, forming cliques and factions! He, the housekeeper Liu Xu, would never do that!

"Uh! Chief Steward! They are not so stingy! At least, your apprentice Song Tao can be used!" Liu Feiyun did not give up and continued to ask with a glimmer of hope.

"Killing a person is not easy, let alone other things! Wu Xin seems smart, but apart from gathering information, he is just that good. He is weak-willed, lazy and unwilling to work, and can't accomplish anything big! As for the little girl, she is ambitious and determined. But it's a pity that her foundation is too weak. Without ten or eight years of tempering, it will be difficult for her to accomplish anything big!"

After hearing Liu Xu's comments, Song Tao's face turned even paler, Wu Xin smiled helplessly, and Si Mingrui bit her lips tightly.

"Alas! But right now, I only have these few people available! It's not that I don't trust the chief steward Liu Xu, but I really want to add another weapon to the Liu family! Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone me!" Liu Feiyun smiled bitterly.

Liu Xu also nodded and said, "Your Highness is right! In fact, not to mention the Liu family, even the royal family has set up various factories to check and balance each other! It's a pity that I have repeatedly suggested setting up another group of people to check and balance Liu Xu, but the Earl just didn't listen! Fortunately, the prince is a wise man!"

"What's the point of understanding? It's still a dream, but reality is so cruel! I can't even find someone worth using!"

Wu Xin smiled bitterly when he heard that, and Song Tao and Si Mingrui lowered their heads even more.

Although Liu Xu didn't understand the specific meaning of the bone feeling, she guessed the general meaning and turned to comfort him, "Don't worry, my lord! Although none of the three can support the thorn willow alone, the three of them can still barely cope with the current situation together. The road must be taken step by step, and the meal must be eaten bite by bite! Just like my cultivation, didn't I also endure hardship until I was forty years old before I became a cultivator! Your Calling Valley has only been built for less than a year, and it is a miracle to cultivate these people! At least Song Tao, this kid, will definitely become a cultivator before he is forty years old with your great cultivation! Take your time!"

"Alas! This is the only way! It's a pity that the chief steward can't stay in Changluo for long and help me train them a little more."

"Your Highness, please understand that I have a special identity! I am helpless! In fact, you don't have to worry. In this Changluo City, if someone wants to kill you, it won't be that easy! You just need to be more careful! If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first!"

"Thank you for your good wishes, General Manager! You have been traveling all the way, please go and have a rest first!"

"In that case, Liu Xu will take his leave!"

After Liu Xu left, Liu Feiyun looked at the three people again and said with a forced smile: "You all heard it! You are not completely useless! In the days ahead, you must cooperate with me and support the skeleton of Ji Liu as soon as possible."

Then, Liu Feiyun said to the three people separately:

"Song Tao! Don't be discouraged! Didn't your master say so too? You will definitely be able to become a master cultivator before you are forty. Come on, young man!"

Song Tao's eyes were determined, "Sir! I will!"

"Wu Xin! Be less lazy and do more things in the future! Stop being idle all day long!"

Wu Xin smiled awkwardly, "I will never dare to do that again, Sir!"

"Rui'er!... Oh!... Don't try too hard!... You should know that a bowstring will break easily if it is stretched too tight, so just be lazy when you need to be!"

Si Mingrui just nodded silently.

Liu Feiyun sighed in his heart: It would be great if Si Mingrui and Wu Xin could have equal courage and determination.

Unexpectedly, just as Liu Feiyun thought of this, he heard Wu Xin beside him teasing Si Mingrui: "Rui'er, look! The young master is biased!"

Liu Feiyun immediately pretended to be furious and yelled at Wu Xin: "Get lost!"

The next day, Liu Feiyun followed his elder sister Liu Qianqian and left the Fufeng Marquis' Mansion early and went to the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Changluo: Cuiliu Pavilion.

This caused old man Liu Jingang to complain a lot.

Cuiliu Pavilion is 11 meters high and has nine floors.

With the architectural level of this alien world, apart from the thick city walls and special high towers and halls, the general buildings for people's daily living can only reach about ten meters, and the highest is no more than thirty meters.

Besides, building a pavilion that is more than ten meters high would cost a lot of money.

When Liu Feiyun first entered Changluo City, he was impressed by the tall buildings in the city when he walked along the central road. But now, when he climbed to the top floor of Cuiliu Pavilion and looked far away, he found that these ten-foot-tall buildings were mostly distributed on both sides of the road, and there were not many in other places.

"In Changluo City, there are more than a hundred pavilions over ten feet high, and eighty percent of them are located on both sides of the highway. Each of these pavilions represents the wealth of the area! The height of our Liu family's Cuiliu Pavilion can only be ranked at the bottom! You know, the taller the pavilion, the more it represents the wealth of the owner behind it."

In this other world, one zhang is two and a half meters, and ten zhang is twenty-five meters. In another time and space, a building over twenty meters high is really nothing! Even a hundred-meter-high building can be found in many small towns.

But in this strange world without reinforced concrete, it is a rare miracle to be able to build a commercial building dozens of meters high using only the mutated trees created by crystal veins as the main material.

Wait! Reinforced concrete! Yes, why didn't I think of it earlier! Make reinforced concrete! Reinforced steel may not be practical, and standard concrete is also difficult to make! But what about traditional cement and traditional bricks! Some industries are very profitable! Moreover, these things are used to build roads and cities, and for people's livelihood and military affairs, which is also a great help!

No! Huanming Valley needs to add more properties!

Liu Feiyun looked at the majestic Changluo South City and was distracted for a moment, and did not hear the next few words of his elder sister Liu Qianqian.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your Miss He again? Can the good men of our Liu family have some ambition? Don't always think about love affairs! I'm asking you a question! How are you going to help me make money next? Are you going to use Rin paper or Yannan Shao first?"

Liu Qianqian was extremely dissatisfied!

"Ah? Ah! Sister, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I'm thinking about it! Well! Let's use the Rin paper first!"

"Liu... Fei... Yun! You bastard! You didn't even listen to me. I was just talking about Beihuang Langhao! I'm so pissed!"

"Eh!? Big sis! You can't lie to me like this! Ah... it hurts! My ears! I am wrong! Big sis, please spare me!"
