Chapter 1521: I

At that time, it happened to be sunrise, and the first ray of golden light shone into the window. In the light, dust flew, leisurely and turbid.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror also sighed: "You created the 'Great Emperor Jiuyou', you planned it like this from the beginning, right?"

Its master, on this land where countless heroes broke their wings, step by step turned the goal into reality.

"With light, you can illuminate the red dust." He Lingchuan sighed softly, "The suffering accumulated in the Shining Gold Plain for many years is rotten soil. Once the seeds of hope can be planted, it will be out of control."

"Someone can't stand it, and will definitely suppress it."

"In the current situation, it might be exactly what the Heavenly Gods want." He Lingchuan smiled, "They originally hoped that the Shining Gold Plain would be as chaotic as possible—in a short time, the plain will indeed be chaotic."

"The emergence of these teams started with hot blood. Don't look at them as flourishing now, but most of them will eventually be killed, merged, or disbanded on their own." What He Lingchuan said is the law, "Before that, we have to intervene."

He single-handedly created the current situation, and must also properly care for and guide it.

Whether it is a spark or a seed, it needs to be well protected in the early stage.

"In addition, this 'flourishing' of the Shining Gold Plain must have caused a lot of interference to the forces investigating the Great Emperor Jiuyou." The best way to hide a tree is to put it in a primeval forest. Now there are miscellaneous armies everywhere on the plain under the banner of the Great Emperor Jiuyou, and there are clues that are difficult to distinguish between true and false everywhere. Where should the interested people start investigating? This is a powerful protection for the real Black Armor Army actions.

He Lingchuan had just finished breakfast, and before he put down his chopsticks, Fan Shuang visited, full of red light.

"Brother He, the house is found, in Yunsong Town."

A few days ago, He Lingchuan asked him to look for a mansion for himself.

Putting on the posture of staying for a long time, the Yao King would also be more at ease with him; people come and go in the post house, it is inconvenient to do things, and he needs a private house to facilitate discussion; then, the Imperial Flowing Pulp is about to descend, he needs to find a good place to receive it.

He Lingchuan said to Fan Shuang: "Excellent, but I am in a hurry to enter the palace, Brother Fan, wait for me for a while?"

Fan Shuang happily said: "I will go with you and wait for you outside the palace!"

Entering the palace for the third time, everything is as usual, the palace is still so magnificent, the grass and trees are still so exquisite, and Yuquan Palace is still so cold, only missing that old pear tree with a canopy like snow.

He Lingchuan asked the palace servant: "Where is the tree?"

The palace servant's voice was like a mosquito: "The second day it..." there was no cure.

"Found the reason?"

The palace servant shook his head. The truth will probably never be known to anyone.

Several palace servants wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets were turning the soil.

For decades, there has been no grass growing by the cold spring, only the old pear tree survived.

Perhaps, only by moving another strong tree demon over can it take root and settle down.

Entering the Imperial Study, He Lingchuan saw the Yao King's face was plain, neither hot nor cold.

Today, the Yao King rarely joked with him: "The Red Fortress auction last night was very successful, you look full of red light."

"Trembling with fear, fortunately all sold out at once." He Lingchuan knew that the Yao King would receive all the news of the auction last night.

Sure enough, the Yao King then asked him: "I heard that the last residence sold for over 100,000?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is 120,000 taels." He Lingchuan smiled, "General Di's heart towards His Majesty is really exceptionally firm."

"Wait for the funds to arrive, I will order people to pay the tax silver as soon as possible." As the price of residences gets higher and higher, the amount of tens of thousands is not something that even giant families can take out at the first time. He Lingchuan is very considerate, giving people four or five days to prepare money.

The Yao King nodded.

Half a month ago, the Yao King thought that the tax silver could be 200,000 taels, which was amazing, and didn't take it to heart. 200 million coins, ordinary people can't spend it in ten lifetimes, but for the national treasury, it is just a small supplement.

Who knew that it would soon easily exceed one million.

The Yao King said warmly: "The Longevity Ceremony is over, when do you plan to leave?"

"Reasonably speaking, I should go—" He Lingchuan kept an eye on the Yao King's expression, the latter didn't change his face, showing the monarch's demeanor.

But He Lingchuan believed that as long as he really dared to say he was leaving, the Yao King would probably order his head to be cut off and hung on the palace gate.

"But Youhu Shanzhuang has just been laid, and the second phase of sales hasn't ended, there are still many things I need to manage, so I will stay in Tianshui City for a few more months." After all, he is the actual controller of this project of Youhu Shanzhuang, the Yao King will definitely press him in this position and not allow him to run around.

He should be sensible and stay voluntarily.

The young man has awareness, the Yao King looked at him with appreciation: "Excellent. I heard you are looking for a house, where do you want to live?"

He Lingchuan was moved: "His Majesty is busy with ten thousand things, and he still has to worry about my little things! Fan Shuang just found a house for me in Yunsong Town, I will go see it after leaving the palace."

The Yao King laughed: "You are also hardworking. How about this, I will bestow you a house in Tianshui City."

The "hardworking" he said, in addition to building Youhu Shanzhuang, mainly refers to He Lingchuan's beheading of He Yang in public.

This is not just venting for the Yao King? He Yang was loyal and capable, killing him is equivalent to cutting off one of Qingyang's arms.

Every time the Yao King thinks of it, he feels relieved.

This degree of counterattack is actually just right.

However, He Lingchuan did these things for him, and he must reward him.

Reward and punishment are clear, the way of the superior.

So he rewarded He Xiao with a house in Tianshui City and some gold, silver, and brocade.

He Lingchuan thanked him, and then said: "His Majesty is generous! But I have to live in the suburbs recently to supervise the construction progress of Youhu Shanzhuang nearby."

He gave a preventive shot, so that no one would go to slander him later, saying he didn't live in the house bestowed by the Yao King.

The Yao King smiled: "You love to live wherever you live, I can't control it."

He seemed to have something to say, He Lingchuan waited.

But the Yao King stopped talking, paused for a few breaths before waving his hand: "Alright, you retire."

When He Lingchuan walked out of Yuquan Palace, he happened to meet several ministers coming in a hurry, among them You Rongzhi.

It seems that after the Yao King met him, he was going to have a meeting immediately.

He Lingchuan also heard a few words, such as "capital expansion", "national treasury", "Flying Flower Festival", etc.

After he greeted You Rongzhi, he left the palace.

Outside the palace, Fan Shuang was still waiting for him.

"Please lead the way, Brother Fan."

Such a small matter as buying a house, now as long as he opens his mouth, countless people are willing to break their legs for him, but he still asked Fan Shuang to do it.

Getting his commission, Fan Shuang was really happy.

He Lingchuan let the Fan family earn tens of thousands of taels at will, Fan Shuang couldn't repay this favor, and it was good to run errands for him.

Walking out of the East Gate of Tianshui City for a few miles, he arrived at Yunsong Town.

This place is only five or six miles away from Youhu Shanzhuang, and you can reach it by lifting your legs on horseback, which is convenient for He Lingchuan to supervise the work at the Youhu Shanzhuang site.

The mansion Fan Shuang found for He Lingchuan here is called "Yongquan Shanzhuang", with its own products.

A small amount of farmland, but there are dozens of acres of fruit trees. In addition to grapes, there are apricots, pears, loquats, etc., all of which are large trees that have become climate.

This is what Fan Shuang picked according to He Lingchuan's requirements. The garden is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and even includes two small hills. In addition to a river that never dries up all year round running through the garden, there are seventeen or eighteen wells, three small lakes, and seventeen ponds in the garden.

Two of the lakes are connected to the river, and the ponds are mostly accumulated water flowing down from the hills, because of the consecutive heavy rains recently.

The original owner of this house was also a foreign merchant who bought it ten years ago and repaired it well. The house He Lingchuan saw had reasonable zoning and complete functions. But he failed in business in the past two years, and the house was mortgaged. He couldn't pay the money, so the creditor sold this manor.

The price was also cheap, only 6,000 taels.

This is the normal price of real estate in the suburbs of Tianshui City.

He Lingchuan paid the money and moved in with his whole team that day.

There are many houses here, enough for him and his subordinates to use, and it is well maintained, and there are servants to sweep, so you can move in with your bags; the fruit forest behind the mountain is dense, and you can't see the sky under the trees, and there are caves artificially excavated on the hills, which were originally used as large cellars and defense facilities, and now it is just right to cover up some of Dong Rui's experiments that cannot be seen—previously at the Sanmentou Post House, he didn't dare to make too much movement.

He Lingchuan took a fancy to this territory of dozens of acres at a glance.

When the Imperial Flowing Pulp arrives, the larger the territory, the more Imperial Flowing Pulp will be harvested.

After the inspection, He Lingchuan paid the money very happily, and the house belonged to him. After paying the house, the rest of the procedures were handled by special personnel.

Anyway, he didn't have any family belongings, so he simply moved in with Wanshou Feng and others that day, organized the villa, investigated hidden dangers, set up arrays, built necessary defense works, and—

Started preparing for the outbreak of the Imperial Flowing Pulp.

And just when the Yongquan Shanzhuang was busy, the Yao Nation also opened the next grand festival: Flying Flower Festival.

This is the day to celebrate the descent and manifestation of the Yao Nation's main god Miaozhan Heaven, from the capital to the remote areas, from officials and nobles to civilians, the whole country celebrates.

There are sacrifices, worship, singing and dancing, temple fairs, and parades on this day, which is even more lively than the Spring Festival.

The Flying Flower Festival is very close to the Yao King's Longevity Ceremony, but it must be rearranged every year, the celebration decorations cannot be extended, and the grandeur and scale must be even greater.

The celebration of the gods must, of course, be more grand than the monarch.

However, when He Lingchuan first arrived in Tianshui City, what was discussed everywhere was the Yao King's Longevity Ceremony, and only one or two sentences would mention the Flying Flower Festival.

The whole country is on holiday on this day, and all civil and military officials must go to the temple to participate in the ceremony, even Fan Shuang cannot be absent.

Fortunately, He Lingchuan is a foreign businessman, so he can stay in his Yongquan Shanzhuang with peace of mind. ===== CHAPTER 1522 =====
