That night, when Ye Xing accepted a box of silver notes handed over by City Master Li, he was very satisfied with the auction result.
The next day, Ye Xing immediately responded to the request of the city lord's palace and ordered a batch of fourth-grade energy pills from the elixir shop, of course in batches.
The elixir shop is of course very happy about this order. Although it is a low-level elixir, the advantage is that the quantity is huge. This is a big customer, and the City Guards are the main customers of this kind of elixir.
A commoner really can't afford such expensive elixirs, and there is no need. Only warriors have this need. In the commercial city of Donghai City, warriors are mainly in the city guard.
Ye Xing used 100 taels of silver to ask a guard of the city lord's palace to personally deliver a sealed package back to Yunhai Village in Yunshan Town and hand it over to his mother.
The package contained some clothes, a letter and 1,000 taels of silver, asking the guards to bring all the students in the village to Donghai City.
The guard was very happy and could earn 100 taels for delivering letters, which was his salary for two or three years. So we rode horseback day and night, and arrived at Yunhai Village in 10 days.
Ye Xing's mother is illiterate, but many people in the village are literate. After reading the letter, the whole village is very happy, which is more lively than any other New Year's Day.
Ye Xing's letter requested that all the young people in the village be brought to the county town, and attached 500 taels for travel expenses, and the other 500 taels were for his mother's living expenses.
After a brief discussion among the mature elders in the village, the village chief made a decision and unanimously decided that all men in the village between the ages of 16 and 20, a total of 25 people, would go to the county to join Ye Xing.
Early the next morning, this group of people followed the guards of the City Lord's Mansion and walked out of the mountain village.
However, they were not riding horses and could not afford so many horses. This time they went directly to Xingyuan Town and then took a boat down the river.
During this time, Ye Xing was in the city and bought a large store in his own name from a wealthy businessman for 50,000 taels.
And the master of the city lord came forward and took over a piece of hillside land outside the north gate city.
This hillside is not far from the military camp. This hillside is beside the Beijiang River. It has few trees and a flat top.
Ye Xing wants to build a manor, which will be his base in the county.
Ye Xing hired 500 workers to construct the work at the same time according to the drawings he designed;
First, a wall was built around the mountain, using nearby large stones as the base;
Then high walls were built with clay bricks, and a deep canal was opened inside the villa to divert the water from the Beijiang River and let the water pass through the mountain through the villa.
Ye Xing asked people to build two rows of wooden houses on flat roofs with a hall in the middle.
It's easy to get things done if you have money. All projects are carried out at the same time, hundreds of people work at the same time, and the progress is very fast.
There is no cement in this world, so Ye Xing can only use big rocks as the foundation and wood as the building materials, so the progress is very fast.
In order to be strong, Ye Xing uses good materials. In addition to the mortise and tenon structure, it is also reinforced with steel nails and steel bars.
The first batch of fourth-grade energy pills arrived 10 days later. Ye Xing led 4 people to refine them immediately. In 5 days, they were completely successful and obtained 100 top-grade energy pills.
Ye Xing first asked some people who performed well to take the best energy pills first.
After a fierce reaction, all users were promoted to the top level of the acquired second level. Some individuals with better qualifications were promoted to the acquired third level.
More than twenty days later, when the young people from Yunhai Village arrived, Ye Xing's Xingchen Villa had been basically completed.
Of course, there are still many details, so let’s improve them slowly.
After arranging accommodation for everyone at the villa, Ye Xing appointed Lin Tie, the oldest and the son of Ye Xing's blacksmith, as the manager and fully responsible for the affairs of the villa.
There are also rooms for people to stay in the shops in the city, and Mu Qingming, who is better at dealing with people, has been assigned to take charge.
He is also Ye Xing's senior brother, the youngest son of the village doctor, and he is also 20 years old.
Ye Xing is also their teacher and is still their boss. Although Ye Xing may be the youngest, he has absolute prestige.
Because the Song Dynasty is a country that respects teachers and respects morality, and governs the country with loyalty and filial piety. As the saying goes, the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son cannot disobey.
Ye Xing is truly decisive. The key is that no one has an opinion.
Ye Xing asked everyone to sit down together, have a big meal, and then let them wander around the city for two days. It was their first time to enter the city, so they were very excited.
As for what to do, Ye Xing only had a rough idea, but he didn't say anything.
Because Ye Xing wants these young men from Yunhai Village to grow up quickly, because Ye Xing's heart is not in this.
Everything he did here was just a way out, to repay the village for taking care of his family, and to give them a new and different life for their ancestors who had been living in the mountains and forests for generations.
Uncle Lin was right. When he was young, he wanted to make a breakthrough. All Ye Xing did was to create such opportunities for them.
In fact, Ye Xing himself thought that this was his rear area, a place that could provide safety for his fellow villagers and family, and a place that he needed to protect.
But nothing can be done by him alone. The only thing is that the young people in Yunhai Village must grow up on their own.
Ye Xing gave each person 50 taels of silver and asked them to go to the city to look for opportunities. For 10 days, everyone must find a way out for themselves and then return to Xingyun Villa.
Everyone is proficient in writing, so they must write down their own ideas and plans.
Ye Xing ignored them and asked them to return to the villa in 10 days.
He continued to refine the elixir in his military camp workshop. This time, Ye Xing analyzed the Yiqi Guishen elixir.
The function of Yiqi Guishen Pill is to quickly replenish the body's strength and internal energy, and it has a certain effect of restoring the spirit.
This is a life-saving elixir in a fight.
Just imagine, when you are too tired to move, taking one pill will immediately restore 60% of your physical strength and energy, which is equivalent to an extra life.
But the effect of the second one was reduced to 10%, and the third one had no effect.
This elixir essentially stimulates people's potential and exhausts your energy and stamina, so for the next three days, you will feel like a serious illness, with both physical and mental sluggishness.
Ye Xing carefully analyzed the ingredients of this medicine and found that the ingredients of this medicine are very complex. There are two most important ingredients in it, one is to restore physical strength, and the other is to restore mental energy.
This mental-restoring component is very important. A small amount can restore the mental loss. When it reaches a certain amount, it can promote the expansion of people's mental power. But if it is exceeded, it may be terrible.
After testing on small animals, Ye Xing discovered that a one-time overdose could permanently damage the mind and possibly turn him into an idiot.
After repeated trials, Ye Xing decided to use different ingredients to make three medicines, all of which were very small particles.
One is the "Hui Qi Pill" that is used to quickly restore physical strength, and the other is the "Hui Shen Pill" that helps people feel energetic.
The other is "Yishen Pill", which has 10 times more active ingredients than "Huishen Pill" and can promote the expansion of people's mental power.
However, this "Yishen Pill" cannot be taken too much. It may only be a one-time use. You must be careful and never do it randomly.
Ye Xing also ordered a batch of Qi-Replenishing Pills from the Spiritual Medicine Shop, spending nearly 200,000 taels, but Ye Xing didn't care at all.
When the first month of training for City Guard recruits was completed, everyone including Ye Xing and Li Qifeng took the "Yishen Pill".
Everyone felt energetic, their thinking became sharper, and they understood various moves faster.
All of these people have advanced to the third level of acquired skills, some are already at the fourth level, and they are already very skilled in fists, kicks and stick skills.
Ye Xing brought the swords prepared by the city lord for the recruits, and asked Li Qifeng to guide and train the recruits in swordsmanship. These swords were all fine tools and of high value, and of course they were paid by Ye Xing.
For Ye Xing now, money is just a means, not his ideal. With his current ability, it is not difficult to earn more money.
However, he knew that he was just a passerby in this world, an outsider. He had no other relatives except his mother, so he didn't need to make much money. Money was a troublesome thing.
Based on his mother's consumption in Yunhai Village, 500 taels of silver would be enough to keep her alive for another 100 years, and she would never run out of money.
In that remote place, 500 taels of silver was definitely a huge fortune.
Wealth is a good thing, but it may also be a curse.
Ye Xing understands best that the most troublesome thing in the world is the complexity of people's hearts;
Everyone is poor, but they also need to be gentle, respectful, benevolent and moral. If you are rich and others are poor, it will bring about many unexpected things.
It's not that Ye Xing is pessimistic, but that Ye Xing has seen through it all a long time ago, and human nature is the same everywhere.
No matter how good the relationship is, it must still have immediate interests, otherwise things will change sooner or later.
Ten days passed quickly, and the 25 young men from Yunhai Village returned to Xingchen Villa one after another after seeing all the prosperity of Donghai City.
