Chapter 1478: Pushing for more

~8 min read 1,481 words

The mirror laughed: "I will protect this cash cow of yours well." "Paying less than two percent of the profit can make the ruler of this country protect me." He Lingchuan finished the last lamp cake. "Is it worth it?"

"Conversely, for every villa sold, we can immediately get eighty-five percent of the profit!"

As for the final payment to the Yao King, that is a matter for four months later.

Four months, hehe.

By the time He Lingchuan returned to the Sanmentou Post House, the rain had stopped and the clouds had cleared, and the sun was shining brightly in an instant.

In the rainy season of Tianshui City, such good weather was rare. Fan Shuang immediately said to He Lingchuan: "Knowing that Brother He is going to do big things, the heavens are beautiful."

"Brother Fan is becoming more and more skilled at praising people."

Fan Shuang laughed and didn't deny it. Over the past two months, he felt he had grown up a lot, and he didn't know how he could have been so dull for the past ten years.

Youhu Villa, the groundbreaking ceremony was held today.

He Lingchuan came to visit Youhu as soon as he arrived in Tianshui City. Not only was the vegetation beautiful, but there were also many attractions, and he could see seventeen or eighteen of them in one circle, truly worthy of being a place for the royal family to nourish their hearts and bodies.

Looking at the scene today, the south bank of Youhu was full of people! "Oh, the popularity is so strong!"

There were many royal nobles including the Qing Prince's Mansion, and more than twenty court officials came, more than half of whom had subscribed to the Youhu villa blueprint price. Since they were firm royalists, how could they miss the groundbreaking ceremony of Youhu Villa?

Two thousand four or five hundred commoners also came to watch the excitement, making the scene very lively.

Ever since the Youhu Small Abode became the place where Qingyang stayed, the lakeside had been sparsely populated, and commoners didn't dare to come here to play. He Lingchuan didn't know where so many people came from today, anyway, the Yao King had his own way.

The cheerful musical instruments played, first for half an hour.

Although the vegetation in Youhu was dense, the south bank was too close to the Youhu Small Abode, and the loud gongs and drums reached the small hill, still deafening—

These musicians were all artists raised in the Qing Prince's Mansion, and Zhang Miao asked them to use their strength to feed, the more lively the better.

They wanted to show Qingyang, but Qingyang didn't look—she wasn't in the Youhu Small Abode today, but went to the palace to find the Yao King.

Before leaving, He Yang asked her for countermeasures, and she only said don't worry about it, let them play by themselves.

No matter what He Xiao was doing in Youhu, it was a small fuss on the surface, and today was a gathering of Yao State dignitaries; it would be unwise to attack him at this time.

Amidst the noise, her elites opened a soundproof barrier in the Youhu Small Abode, and the surroundings became quiet again.

So, this excitement was considered He Lingchuan and the royalist faction's self-entertainment. Zhang Miao and He Lingchuan first went on stage to say a few nutritionless scene words, then grabbed a shovel to dig the soil on the green space, doing a show.

Logically speaking, setting off a few more firecrackers would basically complete the groundbreaking ceremony.

However, the firecrackers He Lingchuan ordered were thick and long, each firecracker was three fingers thick, and there were more than three hundred of them. When they were set off, they crackled and crackled endlessly, and the movement was like artillery fire, resounding through the sky!

The south bank was filled with smoke, and people couldn't even see clearly.

When the strong wind blew, the thick smoke surged toward the Youhu Small Abode—

Although Qingyang wasn't there, her subordinates all lived in the Small Abode. The soundproof barrier could block the sound, but it couldn't block the thick smoke.

This choking white smoke surged into the Small Abode, and people were coughing everywhere.

There were many profound practitioners among the Qing guards in the Small Abode, and in a rage, they climbed to a high place and pinched a wind-calling formula, wanting to blow the thick smoke back to the south bank.

However, there was a strong south wind today, which was calculated by He Lingchuan in advance. It was difficult for manpower to resist the heavens. Six or seven practitioners joined forces to cast the spell, and they barely blew the thick smoke back to the south bank, only to be blown back by the strong wind in the blink of an eye.

The Qing guards were furious and wanted to rush out of the Small Abode to give this group of blind things a little color.

They came from Beijia and followed the Supervisor in and out of the Yao State palace as if entering an empty house; they were all people above others, so when had they ever suffered such bird anger?

He Yang stopped them desperately: "Don't be impulsive, the Palace Master has an order, you must stay in the Small Abode honestly all day!"

Qingyang specifically left him to watch the Qing guards, not letting them go out to cause trouble.

The firecrackers rang on their own, and the onlookers had moved to the west. Here, four or five large tents were set up as temporary stages, and the continuous good shows were sung, dong qiang dong dong qiang.

Those opera troupes were all raised in the deep courtyards of several major families, or invited from other places, and their level was online. People listened with joy, and applause rang out from time to time.

On the day of the groundbreaking of Youhu Villa, the south bank was lively for several hours.

In fact, He Lingchuan made several contingency plans in case Qingyang returned halfway to make things difficult for him.

If so, he would drag all the royal nobles present, including the Qing Prince's Mansion, into it—these royal families were actually representing the Yao King to show support today, and shaving their faces was shaving the Yao King's face.

He didn't mind adding fuel to the fire in the tense relationship between the Yao King and Qingyang.

It's a pity that his plan never came in handy.

The Soul-Capturing Mirror was very regretful: "We almost broke ground on the old witch's head, and she could actually hold back and not come to find your trouble."

"You underestimate her too much." If Qingyang was so unable to hold her breath, how could she sit firmly in the Qing Palace for more than a hundred years? She probably saw through his intentions.

However, He Lingchuan also saw it. Qingyang didn't appear, which meant she intended to control the intensity of her struggle with the Yao King and didn't want the conflict to intensify.

She had taken enough benefits and had the upper hand, and didn't want to force the Yao King to be full of resentment and jump over the wall.

He Lingchuan muttered to himself: "Not enough, still have to go too far."

Qingyang can endure, so he can push for more.

He gave a few instructions to Foreman Guan, who then called his men, grabbed their tools, and walked east to the ginkgo tree.

Youhu is an open terrain, but the island where the Youhu Small Abode is located is connected to the shore by an arch bridge, and there is a ginkgo tree by the bridge, with a trunk that two people can hold, and lush branches and leaves.

In this season, the ginkgo leaves have slightly changed color, but they haven't reached their most beautiful time.

Standing under the tree and looking at Youhu, it is beautiful.

"This place is really good!"

"Hehe, the dignitaries are too good at enjoying!" The carpenters admired and sighed, raised their axes and chopped!

They chopped the tree halfway, and four or five people rushed out of the Youhu Small Abode, shouting loudly: "Stop, what are you doing!"

He Lingchuan glanced at it and saw that the leader was He Yang.

Qingyang usually likes to sit under this ginkgo tree to drink tea and watch the scenery. If the ginkgo is dug up, the Palace Master will definitely be angry! Besides, there is only one bridge to go up and down the island. If the ginkgo falls, it will block the Qingyang carriage from entering and leaving.

He Yang didn't want to care, but this group of people was getting more and more outrageous, more and more bottomless, he had to come. ===== CHAPTER 1479 =====
