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 people who are digging in the pit with shovel after shovel and never rest at all. They look a little suspicious of life.
They are made of iron, 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 bullock cart 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, the little pigs went to the nearby village to exchange them. The big pigs could be killed and eaten for meat and sold for money without having to raise them. Of course, they agreed in a hurry.
"Brother Wang, is this piglet worth one tael a head really fake? Is it reliable? Isn't it a lie to us?" A villager asked nervously, looking around.
One is afraid of danger on the road, and the other is 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 were deceived and the little pig got sick again after traveling a long distance, then they would have no shame in seeing their parents and fellow villagers back home.
Orion Wang was also worried, but he still comforted everyone firmly: "This is what Miss Hu personally promised, and my fifteen taels of silver are definitely not fake."
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 all the way, Wang Orion suddenly felt strange.
In this wilderness, we usually pass by all kinds of cries and howls, but today there are only various birds and insects chirping happily along the way?
But this was also a good thing for the team, so he didn't say anything.
A long while.
After passing through a mountain path, the front suddenly opens up. The land is flat and wide, with houses arranged very neatly, 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 one after another. Some of them even failed to shake well, and there was another burst of chickens and dogs.
Orion Wang and several villagers looked at each other, but they were also 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 is 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 of the little yellow cat's appearance had not faded, and then a little girl in a green dress walked out of the house. She is smart and cute, like an elf in the mountains, giving people a feeling of vitality. Her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling 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 each 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. This is a guarantee of authenticity. "
As soon as I finished speaking, I still had many questions to ask, especially about money.
You must know that most people have never read books and can't do math at all.
After Baguio said that, he hugged Lele and left. The chickens and ducks could just be given to the tribesmen as snacks.
It doesn't matter. But the fastest-growing pigs and the fastest-reproducing rabbits are the top priority and the cornerstone of the future development of the Ghost King Sect.
Even with the magic, it is not easy to raise these two.
Although these animals look majestic, they sometimes get sick and die if they are not careful. If you breed too much, it is more likely that diseases will spread on a large scale one by one, 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 and sat aside, 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 in order and settles the accounts one by one. I can guarantee that I will only overcount and not undercount. The money you get can also be used to 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 it's only a stone's throw away. Besides, there are so many people here, and they've all come here. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back now?
Thinking of this, the villagers gritted their teeth and lined up one by one to wait. Some villagers were afraid that they would not be able to get one tael, so they gave them a voucher and everyone they knew discussed it and simply put them together.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
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, Collection of Classics and History, with illustrations, painted by the master of painting Le Ye, vivid , extremely realistic."
…
After another long while, Wang Orion and several strong men from the village happily entered the village square with money.
There is a huge warehouse here, which seems to be filled with mountains of rice. The person in charge was also dressed like a scholar, and he was obviously proficient in arithmetic. When the villagers came over to tell them the numbers, he knew how many meters to use without counting.
The clever villagers brought a scale and weighed it again, only 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. It is very strong.
This Hujiazhuang is so generous. It is worthy of being a scholarly family, an educated person, and a good person!
Wang Orion and others discussed it and simply spent more than half of their money to buy salt and rice.
It's almost winter, and the price of rice outside has risen to thirty cents, three times as much as here. Not to mention salt. Most people can only buy some salt cloth or salt vegetables, which costs 20 cents per pound. Here, a pound of thick white salt grains only costs 20 cents.
Isn't this blood money?
purchase!
…
evening.
The Ghost King and Qinglong stood on the top of the mountain with their hands behind their hands, 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 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. Tell me about 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 childhood, 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. 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 those animals were afraid of Le Ye, something was coming.
I can't even hold it back.
In the past few days, the nearby villages have been sending pigs and rabbits almost continuously after hearing about them. Some clever villagers and traders even went to distant places to buy them at low prices in person and then resold them here.
Fortunately, there are sneak 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 Le Ye is a funny cat. With such a high level of cultivation, he can still maintain his innocence. This may be the reason why he can play with the lady.
Just like people, every great practitioner has different pursuits.
Also standing on the mountain, some people are willing to watch the clouds side by side with others, look at the world 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 is the Ghost King so active these days? They even did not hesitate to expose the secret guards to maintain law and order in the nearby area. 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 strong. However, there are many big businessmen in Qingzhou who are closely related to the three righteous paths: Qingyun Gate, Fenxiang Valley, and Tianyin Temple.
If they knew that the Ghost King Sect was here, then based on their habits, the first step would definitely be to send a younger generation of disciples over to investigate the situation. After confirming the truth and the truth, several powerful elders may come out in full force to annihilate the Ghost King Sect with overwhelming force.
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. Know how it feels.
Phew~
Ghost King and Qinglong seemed to think of something at the same time and looked at each other with a smile.
Suffering should not befall only one person, because everyone has the right to endure stress and difficulties.
…
"Buzz, buzz, buzz~"
The scream of a wild boar.
On the newly built wide road leading to Hujia Village, a little girl wearing bright yellow clothes is trying to lead a wild boar. The wild boar is tall and strong, with rough skin and gray-brown hair, making it look powerful and powerful.
The little girl held the wild boar's leash tightly with her little hands and tried her best to guide it forward.
The wild boar shook its head vigorously and tried to break away from the leash, completely ignoring the little girl's wishes. Its tail was raised proudly, showing its stubbornness and stubbornness.
The eyes of passers-by were attracted, and they all cast surprised and worried looks.
In the end, Zhou Xiaohuan was helpless, put down the rope and looked at the old man aside.
"Grandpa, can you bear to let me, a little girl, lead this wild boar? Otherwise, you should do it yourself."
The old man's beard and hair are all white, his face is mediocre, and he looks a bit like a Taoist and a master of Taoism, which makes people respect him at first glance.
He held a bamboo pole in his hand, with a piece of white cloth hanging on it, and four words written on it: Immortal guides the way.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Zhouxian Xian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You little girl, what do you know? You can't make a good thing if you don't polish it. I let you hold this wild boar just to exercise your body. Only when you are full of energy and energy, your practice will become better and better in the future." Simple."
Xiaohuan looked at him with disdain: "You just want to take this wild boar to Hujiacun to pay back the money. You don't want to ruin your temperament as a Taoist. Someone might ask you to read your fortune on the way."
The old man immediately blew his beard and glared in anger: "Why do I make money? It's just so that you have food and clothing, and if you marry a good family in the future, I can save some dowry for you."
You really don’t understand good people’s hearts!
Ah, this is your attitude when talking to your grandfather and me. Today I will teach you what it means to respect the elderly, love the young, and respect teachers. Let me tell you..."
Xiaohuan shook his head, too lazy to listen to his grandfather's nonsense.
She has heard these truths eight hundred times. The two of them actually earn a lot of money. If it weren't for the broken talisman paper, cinnabar, jade and so on that grandpa spent money to buy, how could he be so poor.
Alas, drawing talismans will ruin three generations, and telling fortunes will ruin a life!
"Ouch~"
Accompanied by the ferocious howling of wild boars, they walked around a corner and finally saw the recently famous pig farmer: Hujiacun.
It is said that the pigs raised in Hujia Village are fat and strong, have a sweet taste, are fat but not greasy, and are top-grade pigs that ordinary people cannot buy at all.
Standing on the road in front of the village, I looked at the endless stream of people coming to sell pigs, rabbits, and buy salt. Then I looked at the mountains, rivers, streams, and layout of the houses in Hujia Village.
Zhou Xian subconsciously raised his hand and counted with his fingers.
After a while, the old man murmured to himself, his brows furrowed, and his whole face was full of doubts.
"This is wrong!"
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Can we go sell the pigs quickly? I'm already hungry! I heard that the restaurant in Hujiacun is one of the best in Qingzhou, it's very delicious!"
Xiaohuan swallowed as she spoke. Children always have no resistance to delicious, cute and fun things.
Zhou Yixian ignored her granddaughter's complaints and even began to doubt her life.
"Feng Shui gathers together, heaven and earth are aligned, dragons and tigers are entrenched.
What happened to make such a Feng Shui Jedi place turn into a land of dragon prosperity? "
Is this reasonable?
…
