Hujiacun.

The weather here is like spring all year round and the climate is pleasant. Around the village, a wide road winds past, with an endless stream of pedestrians on the road.

A large building is under construction in the back hill of the village. Although I don’t know what the building is specifically, the depth and breadth of the foundation excavation alone will make passers-by stunned when they come to take a look.

There are also those peasants who keep digging in the pit with shovel after shovel without resting at all. They look a little suspicious of life.

They are made of iron, so don’t they need to rest?

On this day, early in the morning, Orion Wang drove an ox cart and took five strong men from the village towards Hujia Village.

The oxcart contained most of the village's wealth, including fifteen piglets. Originally, there were big pigs, but according to the village's calculations, it was more economical to replace a 100-pound big pig with three little pigs.

Of course, I went to a nearby village to exchange for the little pigs. The big pigs could be killed directly, eaten for meat, and sold for money without having to raise them. Of course, I agreed in a hurry.

"Brother Wang, is it true that this little pig is worth one tael of silver per head? Is it reliable? Isn't it a lie to us?" A villager asked nervously, looking around.

One was afraid of being robbed on the road, and the other was afraid of being cheated. They had traveled a whole day and night, and if Brother Wang hadn't been an old hunter, they might have been eaten by the wolves.

Now if they are deceived and the little pig gets sick again after traveling a long distance, then they will have no shame to see their parents and fellow villagers when they go back.

Wang Orion was also worried, but he still reassured everyone firmly: "This is what Miss Hu family promised personally, and my fifteen taels of silver are not fake, right?"

Everyone felt relieved. To be honest, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a big piece of silver.

So lovely!

After walking a long way, Wang Orion suddenly felt strange.

In this wilderness, we usually pass by all kinds of cries and howls of wolves, but why today there are only all kinds of birds and insects chirping happily along the way?

But this was also a good thing for the team, so he didn't say anything.

Half a moment.

After passing through a mountain path, the front suddenly opened up, the land was flat and wide, the houses were arranged very neatly, there were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and plants such as mulberry trees and bamboos.

There was also a long queue at the entrance of the village, and the sounds of various chickens, ducks, rabbits, and wild boar animals came and went. Some of them even failed to shake off well, and there was another burst of chickens and dogs.

Wang Orion and several villagers looked at each other, but they were relieved.

With so many people here, it must be true.

suddenly.

A little yellow cat walked out of the village. This cat was only the size of a palm, but its steps were steady and calm, like a noble nobleman walking like a dragon and a tiger. Its hair was soft and shiny, shining golden in the sunlight.

The moment he came out, some strange button seemed to be triggered, and all the noisy animals stopped abruptly. They all stood still in place, not daring to move.

The shock brought by the appearance of the little yellow cat has not faded, and then a little girl in a green dress walked out of the house. She was smart and cute, like an elf in the mountains, giving people a feeling of vitality. Her

His eyes are as bright as stars, shining with endless curiosity and innocence.

Standing still, facing everyone's gaze, Baguio put his hands on his waist and said solemnly.

"Thank you all the villagers for trusting me in Hujia Village. Originally, the village only planned to raise pigs and rabbits, but since this is your first time here, I can make the decision to buy them all.

All animals cost one hundred cents for one catty or less, five hundred cents for one animal for one catty or more but less than ten catties, one or two for each animal for more than ten catties but less than thirty catties, and two or two for each animal for more than thirty catties.

Because the village has insufficient preparations for copper coins, villagers can receive a token first, and use the token to exchange for fresh rice at the back, which will be sold at the lowest price in the market, ten cents per catty. It will be a genuine exchange if it is fake."

As soon as the words fell, everyone below was in an uproar. Isn't this great? He couldn't be a liar, right? Besides, everyone still had many questions to ask, especially about money.

You must know that most people have never read books and don't know how to do math.

After Baguio said that, he hugged Lele and left. It didn't matter if the chickens and ducks were given directly to the tribesmen as snacks. But the fastest-growing pigs and the fastest-reproducing rabbits were the top priority, and they were also the future ghost kings.

The cornerstone of Zong’s development.

Even if you have magic, it is not easy to take care of these two.

Although these animals look majestic, sometimes they will get sick and die if you are not careful. If you breed too many animals, they are more likely to be infected with diseases on a large scale, and your hard work of several years or even more than ten years may be wasted in one go.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

The sound of gongs and drums attracted the attention of all the villagers.

The Ghost King moved a table to one side and sat down, and said in a friendly voice: "Hello villagers, I am the accountant of the Hu family, you can call me Accountant Hu.

Come on, everyone lines up and settles the accounts one by one. I can guarantee that we will only overcount and not undercount. With the money we get, we can also buy grain and salt in our Hujia Village at the lowest price in the market.

And from today on, no robber or wild beast will offend pedestrians within a hundred miles of my Hujia Village, and everyone’s safety is absolutely guaranteed.”

Finished.

"Boom boom boom~"

Ten people walked out of the village one after another, all in armor and holding long knives. They walked out in unison and lined up.

All the villagers were distraught.

Whose village still has armor weapons? Is your village a serious village?

But the wealth is right in front of us, and only a stone's throw away. Besides, there are so many people here, and they have all come here. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back now?

Thinking of this, the villagers gritted their teeth and queued up one by one. Some villagers were afraid that they would not get one tael, so they gave them a voucher and everyone they knew discussed it and just put them all together.

After a while, the villagers came out with gleaming silver coins covered with tooth marks in their hands.

Some onlookers immediately gathered around.

"Have you received the money?" "Is their scale accurate?" "Is this money really fake?" "Brother, do you want to buy a book? A serious book, Spring and Autumn Period, Classics and History Collection, with illustrations, painted by the master of painting Le Ye, vivid and vivid

, extremely realistic.”

…

After another long while, Orion Wang happily entered the village square with several strong men from the village, taking the money.

There is a huge warehouse here, which seems to be filled with mountains of rice. The person in charge is also dressed like a scholar, and he is obviously proficient in arithmetic. When the villagers come over and say the number, he knows how much rice to use without counting.

A clever villager brought a scale and weighed it again, only to find it was a lot more.

And for convenience, if it weighs more than 50 kilograms of rice, it also comes with a bag made of unknown materials, which is very strong.

This Hujiazhuang is so generous. He is worthy of being a scholarly family, a man of culture, and a good person!

Wang Orion and others discussed it and decided to spend more than half of their money to buy salt and rice.

It's almost winter now, and the price of rice outside has risen to 30 cents, which is three times the price here. Let alone salt. Most people can only buy some salt cloth or salt vegetables, which costs 20 cents per pound, but one pound here.

White and thick grains of salt cost only twenty coins.

Isn’t this blood money?

purchase!

…

evening.

The Ghost King and Qinglong stood on the top of the mountain with their hands folded, looking down at the brightly lit Hujia Village below, where the sounds of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs could be heard all the time.

Over the years, except during the Chinese New Year, the village has not been so lively for a long time.

The Ghost King was a little confused.

"Qinglong, this Mr. Le is a man of extraordinary skill and unfathomable. You said such a tall cat, why does he insist on letting Baguio raise pigs?"

He felt uncomfortable when he thought that his precious daughter, who had been pampered and pampered since she was a child, now had to be with these animals every day, serving them food and cleaning up the stench.

Why?

I can't even bear to let her suffer a little bit, so you want her to raise pigs for you?

The main reason why the two of them ran to the mountains now was that the smell in the village was too strong. Even if the animals were afraid of Mr. Le, they couldn't hold it back when something happened.

In the past few days, the nearby villages have been sending pigs and rabbits almost continuously after hearing about them. Some clever villagers and merchants even went to distant places to buy them at low prices in person and then resold them here.

Fortunately, there are guards to maintain public order nearby. Otherwise, with so many goods being transported every day, according to usual habits, there would probably be several bandits entrenched nearby to collect tolls.

Qinglong shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "King of Ghosts, I think this Mr. Le is a funny cat. With such a high level of cultivation, he can still remain innocent. This may be the reason why he can play with the young lady.

Just like people, every great practitioner has different pursuits.

Also standing on the mountain, some people are willing to look at the clouds side by side with others, look at the rivers and lakes indifferently, and play with the world. Some people just want to be the best and overlook all living beings. This Le Ye may be the former."

After saying that, Qinglong looked at the Ghost King quietly.

Why has the Ghost King been so aggressive these days? He even went so far as to expose his ghost guards to maintain public order in nearby areas. And so many villagers and businessmen have seen it with their own eyes.

In today's world, evil spirits are rampant. If you want to expand your business, even across borders, you have one and only one choice, which is to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade.

The recent Yunmen Temple is good but not very strong. However, there are many big businessmen in Qingzhou who are closely related to the three righteous paths: Qingyunmen, Fenxiang Valley, and Tianyin Temple.

If they know that the Ghost King Sect is here, then based on their habits, the first step will definitely be to send the younger generation of disciples to investigate the situation. After determining the truth and reality, several elders and powerful men may come out in full force to attack with overwhelming force.

Annihilate the Ghost King Sect in one fell swoop.

This is the so-called righteous way. What kind of morality is needed to deal with evil spirits and heretics?

However, he might have been a little afraid of the right path before, but at this moment, Qinglong felt extremely at ease and even wanted to laugh.

A hundred years ago, those ten thousand swords were always charging at the temple, fearless. Today, when the righteous path came out in full force, full of confidence, they faced a cat that covered the sky and the sun, and a hair thicker than their whole body.
