Chapter 914

According to its clone's statement, only when his soul is strong enough can it be erased. This is also one of the directions he will continue to work hard in the future. Conversely, when he can erase this god seal mark, it proves that his soul strength can be on par with the Heavenly God.

Thinking about it is very far away.

Ding Ding Zuodong looked at the maid on the side.

He He Lingchuan understood, stood up, and said to the maid beside him: "Go down, I'll call you if there's anything."

The maid responded softly and turned away.

He He Lingchuan didn't stay in the courtyard either, took Ding Ding Zuodong and walked back to the refined house, closed the doors and windows, and casually placed a barrier.

This is the Lu family's territory, so be careful of walls having ears.

He traveled in Between Beijia for several months and knew deeply how many little monsters a garden could hide.

"Say it."

Ding Ding Zuodong then reported the Lu family's selling price.

He He Lingchuan clapped his hands and laughed: "Good, good, good, good!"

Seeing him beaming with joy, Ding Ding Zuodong couldn't grasp the young master's mentality: "Proprietor, this price is still a bit expensive."

"Not just a bit expensive, it's ridiculously expensive!" He He Lingchuan smiled and complained, "A broken island that no one can use at all, and they want to sell it to me at a sky-high price of 150,000 taels! The Lu family is really bold."

He immediately added: "But the Lu family is willing to sell the Yangshan Archipelago, which is the most valuable intelligence!"

If people really didn't want to sell, he might not be able to receive it even if he spent a high price.

The Lu family is willing to sell, so this business can always be negotiated as they talk, not afraid of tug-of-war.

Yes, the Proprietor is still that shrewd Proprietor. Ding Ding Zuodong admired: "Your judgment on Does Bailie is very precise, the Lu family is indeed short of money."

This big young master with more money than brains is rushing to send money, isn't it just someone sending a pillow when they are sleepy for the Lu family? Facing this kind of open conspiracy, even if they are suspicious in their hearts, they don't want the white silver to slip through their fingers.

Greed is always the sharpest weapon in the young master's hands.

Ding Ding Zuodong smiled: "The Lu family is probably afraid that if the offer is too low, it will arouse our suspicion instead. That means there is a lot of moisture in this price, which can be slashed."

"Just say, the quote for the six outer islands I can accept is 30,000 taels, if the entire Yangshan Archipelago is given to me, then 60,000. If it exceeds this number, I don't want it, and I don't have that much money, I'd rather go elsewhere to buy manors and real estate." He He Lingchuan yawned, "There are many good places near Daofeng Port, if Does Bailie doesn't keep me, I can go to Qingguo, right?"

Ding Ding Zuodong is also a smart person, immediately understood his meaning, and resigned.

He He Lingchuan casually sent him a basket, inside which were a few jars of osmanthus sour plum drink, a few bags of local specialty walnut cloud cakes, and a bag of crispy silkworm beans.

There were water droplets hanging on the outside of the silver jars.

"Send it to your family to relieve the heat."

Ding Ding Zuodong didn't push back, took it and smiled: "Thank you, Proprietor!"

He He Lingchuan returned to the garden and lay down on the rocking chair.

Sigh, really comfortable.

The young maid sent by the Lingtai Courtyard came to serve again, her watery eyes kept glancing at him.

Guests of Yunding Shanzhuang, rarely see such handsome and majestic ones.

He He Lingchuan drank half a pot of sour plum drink in one breath before asking the maid: "Do you know the Yangshan Archipelago?"

"K-know." The maid held the pot, the mouth of the pot paused slightly, and then continued to pour juice, "It's the island across from Daofeng Port."

"Have you been there?"

"Passed by boat a few years ago and stayed on the island."

"How is that place?"

"The beach is fine and white, and the seawater is clean." The maid thought for a moment, "It's just that there are a few more bugs."

"I heard that the buildings on the island are sparse, what's going on?" He He Lingchuan asked her intentionally, "Do Does Bailie people not utilize such a good island?"

"That, the maid doesn't know, maybe it's because the island is isolated overseas and management is inconvenient?" The maid smiled, "After all, Daofeng Port is temporarily lent to Qingguo."

"So that's it."

He He Lingchuan didn't ask anymore and closed his eyes lazily.

The Lu family is acting fast, they have unified the caliber of all the servants in the Lingtai Courtyard of Yunding Shanzhuang in just half a day.

Yin Sha turbid Qi, Yin Hui, pirates, not a word can be revealed to the buyer of the archipelago.

Yin Sha turbid Qi is a very professional term, and neither the Lu family nor Qingguo has ever explained it publicly. What kind of thing it is, most commoners in Does Bailie and Daofeng Port don't know.

They only know that Yin Sha turbid Qi exists in the depths of the archipelago, and if people go in, they are prone to illness, especially if they sleep on the island at night, they might inexplicably sleep to death and never wake up again.

And there are monsters called Yin Hui in the waters near the island, which will attack passing ships.

As for the Yunding Shanzhuang where He He Lingchuan stays, this place is big and beautiful, and it handles everything from eating, drinking, and playing. If he doesn't go out, the truth of the archipelago might be hidden for a few more days.

Heh, he thought, the Lu family is quite careful.

But the Lu family doesn't know that the Other Rongshan people are now strolling all over Qu City.

In the afternoon, Ding Ding Zuodong continued to negotiate with the Lu family on behalf of He He Lingchuan.

He had plenty of patience, and after repeated tug-of-war, he set the price at 40,000 for the six outer islands and 80,000 for the entire archipelago, and said: "This is the highest offer, if it can't be negotiated, our young master really doesn't want it."

This was basically stepping on the bottom line of both sides.

The bottom line of price and emotion.

Then it was cold for two days.

He He Lingchuan had plenty of patience, and Other Rongshan disciples returned from the outside one after another, sending all kinds of miscellaneous intelligence about Does Bailie, the most intuitive of which was the grain price in Does Bailie and Qingguo that almost rose to the sky... basically corroborating He He Lingchuan's inference and helping him figure out the Lu family's psychology.

This money, the Lu family must be reluctant to push it away.

Sure enough, two days later, the Lu family came to the door and agreed to Ding Ding Zuodong's offer.

They were anxious, every day they dragged on, the possibility of He He Lingchuan learning the truth increased by two points.

If this transaction turned yellow again, the big tens of thousands of silver taels would fly away.

It didn't matter if no one bought the island, if He He Lingchuan changed his mind temporarily, this kind of loss would make the Lu family beat their chests and stamp their feet.

This agreement had to be signed in the Qu City official office.

He He Lingchuan had to come forward in person, and the Lu family dispatched Lu Lu Qingan.

This was also the first time He He Lingchuan met the Lu family.

Lu Lu Qingan was slender, with a white face and long eyebrows, and a dark-patterned gray brocade robe on his body, indeed having the demeanor of a family son.

He He Lingchuan observed him, and he was also observing He He Lingchuan.

This outsider from overseas was also a talent, although there was a bit of frivolity and playfulness between his eyebrows, but with his hands behind his back, there was still some bearing on him.

He nodded to He He Lingchuan as a salute: "Young Master He."

He He Lingchuan's current identity was a wealthy young master, but he had no position or title, and was just a rich idler.

Lu Lu Qingan adopted the attitude of a superior, no problem.

He He Lingchuan also bowed to him and smiled: "It's so hot, and I've troubled Elder Lu to make a trip!"

At this time, he didn't care about taking out more etiquette. Anyway, Lu Lu Qingan would definitely have a deep impression of him in the future.

After a few pleasantries, the Qu City magistrate coughed slightly: "My Lord, the contract is ready."

One copy in duplicate, every word on the agreement was the same.

He He Lingchuan and Lu Lu Qingan picked up the agreement, and although both of them were well aware of the terms, they still had to read it word by word again.

The terms cut out by Ding Ding Zuodong and the other party were very detailed. The agreement not only explained that the transfer scope of the Yangshan Archipelago included forty-two islands, but also 387 independent reefs, and the sea area radiating eight li outward from the archipelago.

Specifically to the islands, it included the transfer of all land, public buildings, defensive works, barracks, and property rights of all buildings that were not private property on the island—

This last point was because there were sporadic Does Bailie people living on the island, not pirates, and they held legal land deeds in their hands.

This point looked very humane, and the Lu family father and son were worried that the buyer would not be happy, so they prepared some countermeasures. Unexpectedly, He He Lingchuan just smiled and agreed after seeing it, but required the residents on the island to abide by the new lord's laws.

Very reasonable, so this point was also added.

There were two supply stations on the outer islands that had already been rented out, and now after the change of ownership, the Lu family was responsible for clearing them within half a month.

In addition, due to He He Lingchuan's big hand, he was now a big client in the Does Bailie territory and enjoyed a series of preferential treatment in tax, transportation, and customs clearance in Does Bailie.

The Lu family upheld the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and all the requirements he put forward were allowed. Anyway, it was a good thing for this person to do business in his own territory, and paying taxes was glorious, so there was no need to stop it.

The two checked the agreement, indeed there was no mistake, so they signed and pressed their fingerprints, and then stamped the seal.

The transfer of the Yangshan Archipelago was considered achieved.

Lu Lu Qingan put away the seal, looking at the big red seal on the agreement, his heart finally returned to his stomach.

Just now he had been worried about the other party waking up.

Now that the seal was stamped, no one could go back on their word.

The money was here.

He He Lingchuan nodded to Ding Ding Zuodong, who immediately took out the silver notes and handed them over: "This is the first payment of 40,000 silver notes, please count."

The Lu family had special personnel come forward to receive and count carefully.

Not bad, it was indeed 40,000 taels.

The remaining 40,000 taels, according to the agreement, would be given when the tenants on the two outer islands were completely cleared and the islands were delivered to He He Lingchuan.

Lu Lu Qingan laughed heartily: "Young Master He is truly a straightforward person. With this piece of blessed land, the Young Master will surely have a wide source of wealth in the future."

Exchanging chicken ribs for a huge sum of money, he didn't have to worry about the military funds to be handed over to the Mu Nation for a short time.

He He Lingchuan was also overjoyed: "Easy to say, easy to say, such a beautiful thing should be floated with a big white."

Buying a good manor of fifteen qing in Does Bailie, including the purchase price and various additional taxes, would cost more than 15,000 silver taels; now he only used 80,000 taels to buy forty-two islands and occupy such a vast water area! How many big manors could be built on this archipelago? He He Lingchuan couldn't calculate. It was simply earned to the explosion, right?

The two blew and praised each other, and in their hearts, they called each other a fool.

Both felt that they had occupied a huge benefit.

Lu Lu Qingan was in a great mood and said casually: "I'll be the host, how about inviting Young Master He to a light meal at Linglong Pavilion?"

He He Lingchuan didn't refuse: "That would be great."

The two walked out smiling, almost holding hands.

Just as they reached the outside of the official office, they heard a series of explosions! Lu Lu Qingan was startled, and when he looked closely, he found that there were more than a dozen strings of rough red firecrackers set up on the street. As soon as they came out, someone lit the fire, and the firecrackers resounded through several streets.
