In the evening, a red eagle flew over from the direction of Yunjieling. This time it was the male eagle that had also been promoted to the third level. It brought the four martial arts scriptures back to Chenjiacun, while the female eagle was still preparing for Du Tao and others.
Pathfinding.
Four days later, on August 2, Du Tao and more than 80 people drove four carriages back to Tsinghua City. Two of the carriages were loaded with more than 600 pieces of jade, which Chen Zining asked the Guangtong Chamber of Commerce to purchase on his behalf.
According to the normal journey, it would take them at least six or seven days to arrive, but now it took five days to arrive. Apparently, the group of people had been on their way since Chen Zining left.
Chen Zining had received news about Red Eagle early and was waiting for them twenty miles outside the city. After meeting, Chen Zining asked more than thirty students from the college to go to the city first, while he and the others turned in another direction, heading towards the Donghu Gang.
While walking to the manor, Chen Zining briefly explained what happened five days ago, which surprised everyone, especially Du Tao, who was from Tsinghua City and knew some of the inside stories of the Donghu Gang.
The boss’s feat is really beyond words and I don’t know how to describe it.
This manor is called Baiyangzhuang. It is more than 20 miles outside the city and next to the Hu River. There is a small ferry with 6,000 acres of paddy fields and more than 300 households of tenant farmers. The manor covers an area of 40 acres and has nearly 100 houses.
, there is a tall wall built outside. It turns out that the people in the manor have been taken away by Meng Changqing. The housekeeper now arranged is an old man from Meng Mansion, who is very familiar with these things. He temporarily helps him take care of the manor, saving Chen Zining a lot of trouble.
Steward Meng welcomed the group into the manor, prepared tea, and then handed an account book to Chen Zining and said: "Master Chen, the manor can produce 100,000 dan of food every year. Excluding taxes, there are more than 80,000 dan.
The annual income from the chicken, duck and pig farms is about 20,000 gold coins."
Chen Zining nodded. Seeing that there were still more than 3,000 gold coins and 5,000 silver coins left in the account, he left it alone and planned to let others worry about it after someone from Chenjiacun came.
Chen Zining decided to first arrange for Liang Guang and his party of more than 40 people to stay in this manor outside the city. Nine of them were family members, and 36 of them were subordinates who had followed Liang Guang for several years, all of whom were warriors.
Among them, there are nineteen low-level warriors, twelve mid-level warriors, and five high-level warriors. These thirty-six warriors have been in battle for a long time and have extensive experience, which will be of great use to Chen Zining.
After resting here for a while, Du Tao went back to his family's manor outside the city. It was the first time that he had been away from home for more than ten days. Although the atmosphere in Shenglan Continent was like this, even the only heir like Du Tao had to go through it.
It took a lot of hardships to gain everyone's recognition, but the concern of his family is unavoidable.
Chen Zining and others had lunch here, left the two ordinary carriages at the manor, and drove the Jiubao Ruyiyun carriage into the city with Miao Shufang, Meng Xue and Yu Xiaoling's family.
After entering the city, Meng Xue also went home. Chen Zining first went to Shuiyueju where he left the Cloud-Stepping Beast and the Nine-Bao Ruyi Cart, and then came to the courtyard he obtained from the Donghu Gang. This was also his first time.
I once came to this mansion covering an area of 20 acres.
Yu Xiaoling saw that this mansion was extremely exquisite with its carved beams and painted columns, and it was also an aristocratic area on the outskirts of the college. She wondered, "Zining, you said you found a courtyard for my family. Is this it?"
Chen Zining took out the land deed from his pocket, looked at it and nodded: "This is what is written on the land deed, it should be correct."
Yu Xiaoling was a little hesitant. Originally, her mansion in Red Rock City was larger than the one here. If she sold it, it would cost 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins. According to her plan, with this money, she could buy a house in Tsinghua City with thousands of gold coins.
A small yard would be enough, and she didn't have to worry about money at all during her studies. However, God's calculations are not as good as fate. Before the house was sold, Red Rock City was invaded by a beast tide. Naturally, they could not get anything, and their family could not get anything.
He ran away in a hurry and didn't take much savings with him.
So he said: "I can't afford such a big mansion."
Chen Zining handed her the land deed and said with a smile: "I got this thing out of thin air. I didn't spend a dime. It would be a waste to leave it empty. You and your family can live here first. There is no need to talk about money."
Yu Xiaoling still shook her head and refused, but Yu Xiaorou saw that everyone had arrived at the door, but did not go in. Instead, she kept talking and became a little anxious, shouting: "Hurry up, I haven't slept in bed for five days. You guys are in the carriage."
I’m always on the road and can’t sleep well.”
Chen Zining smiled and said: "Look, Xiaorou likes it here very much. How about this? After a while, I, Chen, will open a chamber of commerce. After you graduate, I will go to the chamber of commerce to help. It can be regarded as the chamber of commerce sponsoring your scholarship, okay?"
