"Junior Brother Su, your family is here." On this day, Su Fan was practicing basic swordsmanship. Suddenly, not far away, the outer sect brother who was usually responsible for teaching them Huashan Swordsmanship found Su Fan.
"Well! Thank you, senior brother"
When Su Fan heard this, he knew that he had responded to his previous request for someone to take the letter home.
The person coming was none other than Yang Xing.
"Steward Yang"
"The head of the family" Yang Xing saw Su Fan with a smile on his face. He was really happy to see that Su Fan was stronger than a year ago. Although he was a little hesitant about his family going to Mount Huashan to practice martial arts. After all, three generations of the Su family have It is academic literature, and the worst old ladies are all scholars.
What's more, Su Fan's father and ancestors were both civil servants.
The Huashan Sect is a Jianghu sect, and people from Jianghu are very dangerous in Yang Xing's view. The Su family has only been passed down for three generations, so he naturally does not want Su Fan to be in any danger.
However, the heads of the Su family were not in good health before. Su Fan practiced martial arts and now looked extremely strong, which also made him a little relieved.
"Steward Yang, you saw my previous letter. How is your family now?"
It has been a year since Su Fan went up the mountain. Because new disciples cannot go down the mountain, Su Fan naturally cannot understand the situation at home.
Moreover, it is generally difficult for outsiders to enter the mountains.
Su Fan could only rely on letters to gain a rough understanding of the Su family, which was not comprehensive.
Fortunately, the Huashan Sect is not unkind, and at least new disciples will be allowed to visit their families every year.
Now that Yang Xing is here, Su Fan naturally drags him to the place where he usually practices in Luoyan Valley. It is about four or five miles away from Luoyan Peak Villa. There is a forest in the middle and a deep pool next to it. Su Fan Named Sun Moon Lake.
Su Fan didn't like to practice martial arts with everyone and liked to be quiet. He found such a place to practice. Because he had been performing well and there was no danger here, the person in charge of the outer sect did not stop him.
"Steward Yang, tell me how your family is doing now? Tell me everything."
Pulling Yang Xing to a glorious stone next to Sun Moon Lake, Su Fan asked directly.
"Master, during the previous autumn harvest, the family collected more than 8,300 dan of grain from 3,000 acres of land. Among them, 2,500 acres of 100 tenant households totaled 6,000 dan. They handed over 1,800 dan, plus the family's 500 dan. There are 4,000 shi in total of acres of fertile land. After excluding the taxes paid, there are still 2,200 shi left.”
More than two thousand shi of food a year is equivalent to more than two thousand taels of silver. Among them, there is still a lot of planning, and there is only more than a thousand taels left.
Compared to his cheap father during his lifetime, it was only one or two hundred taels more.
Without this tax, there would indeed be a lot left over.
But even so, it is already very good. In Huayin County, there are really not many people who can earn two thousand taels of silver a year from land alone.
There are not many big landowners in Huayin County, and the Su family is already considered a very big landowner.
"Two thousand two hundred shi, there will be almost 2,500 shi left next year, but that's the end."
Su Fan nodded and used the scientific methods of later generations to farm. The harvest was indeed great. In previous years, the Su family had 3,000 acres, and it was already good to have 6,000 dan.
Now it has suddenly increased by more than two thousand stones, which is really good.
But this is almost the end. Su Fan is not the saint of later generations and cannot improve grain varieties, so the yield per mu can only increase like this.
Moreover, Su Fan knew that the Ming Dynasty, which was in the Little Ice Age, would only see less and less land per land in the future. As for whether this martial arts world was the same as the historical plane, Su Fan didn't know.
Fortunately, Su Fan didn't expect Tianli to bring him much wealth.
What he really cares about is the family business.
"How's the situation with Baiweixian and Luwei Xiaojia?"
Baiweixian is naturally Su's Restaurant. The name has been changed. After all, Su's Restaurant has a bad name.
"Master, this year, Baiweixian and Luwei Xiaojia have been extremely popular. Baiweixian has now opened three branches, and Luwei Xiaojia has opened up in six counties."
"Because we are worried about insufficient manpower, we have not expanded further for the time being, but even so, the total monthly net profit adds up to five hundred taels of silver."
Yang Xing was really excited when he said this. He had earned thousands of taels this year, which can be said to be quite a lot in Xi'an Mansion.
After all, the Su family is not a long-established merchant. It is definitely very powerful to earn thousands of taels of silver a year. Naturally, the Su family is very convinced of the young master Su Fan.
"Yeah! Including the income from the fields, it's almost six to seven thousand taels of silver." Su Fan nodded. This income is definitely top-notch in Huayin County.
After all, the north is not the south, and there are not many people doing business, unless they are smuggling.
Seven thousand taels of silver a year is naturally enough for Su Fan now. According to the krypton gold cultivation path he has prepared, it is only a few hundred taels of silver a year now. It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat well, because he is now The cultivation base cannot consume much at all.
Like their new disciples, they only need a few dozen taels a year. It's good that Su Fan can exceed that by ten times.
Of course, the Huashan Sect consumes more than one hundred thousand taels of silver a year. The higher the cultivation level, the more they consume.
But now we don't need much, but that doesn't mean Su Fan is satisfied.
"Steward Yang, the Su family's annual income is not bad for the time being, but it will not be enough in the future, so Baiweixian and Luwei Xiaojia still need to expand. There are not enough manpower, so hurry up and cultivate them."
"In addition, after you go back, tell Liu Tong to continue recruiting people and pay close attention to training. The Baiweixian and Luwei Xiaojia will expand. The money earned will definitely be coveted by someone in the future. You don't have to worry about the government taking care of it, but the other people may not "
"So Liu Tong will be needed to protect him when the time comes."
Su Fan knew very well that after Baiweixian and Luwei Xiaojia made money, they would definitely be coveted by others. In this world, robbery is normal, so the Su family must have strength.
On the government side, the Su family is not worried. After he traveled through time, he would spend one-third of it every year for management, so he was not worried.
But for other colleagues, Su Fan knew very well that in this era, those country gentry, merchants, and even green forest heroes were not so friendly.
"Also, last time, I asked you to go to Xi'an Mansion and buy the formula of Yangshen Decoction from Dr. Lin. How was it?"
"Master, we have obtained the recipe for the Nourishing Soul Soup. It cost eight hundred taels of silver." As he said this, Yang Xing's face showed a bit of pain.
If Su Fan hadn't kept urging, he felt that the price could have dropped. And spending so much money on just such a formula made him feel really distressed.
After all, this nourishing soup is of no use to most people.
"Taken"
"Very good"
For Su Fan, he didn't care at all about the eight hundred taels, let alone eight hundred taels, even if it was eight thousand taels, he didn't care. He only needed this formula so that he could use the cheat for half an hour longer in the future.
You know, over the past year, he has not been slow in improving his internal energy. He has opened three meridians, and the Huashan Mind Technique has reached the second level.
The speed is quite fast, and half of the credit is due to this plug-in.
With the Nourishing Soup, his plug-in would be half an hour longer, and his cultivation speed would be one-third faster. How could he not be happy about this?
"Steward Yang, from now on, you need to collect a large amount of the medicinal materials needed for cultivating the Yangshen Decoction, and then send someone to deliver them, together with the medicinal diet."
It has been three months since the medicinal diet was delivered. Three months ago, Su Fan no longer ate in the cafeteria with the novice disciples.
Instead, he started a small stove by himself. This kind of thing is not a big deal in the Huashan Sect. The inner disciples do not have a big pot of rice. The outer disciples, some good families, also provide their own disciples with the best food and medicine early, hoping that they will do better. Practice so that you can enter the inner gate.
Once you enter the inner gate, you are really jumping over the dragon gate.
"Yes, Master"
Naturally, Yang Xing had no objection to Su Fan's request. Anyway, the Su family's annual income had greatly increased, and everything in the Su family belonged to Su Fan. As a butler, he had no right to stop it.
Then Su Fan asked about the breeding of livestock at home, especially the breeding of poultry, which is also an industry that Su Fan is preparing for in the future.
I heard it was pretty good, and Su Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Then he gave some instructions again, and after having a meal with Yang Xing, he sent the former away.
