"Junior Brother, why did you choose to build the Huashan Villa here in Liaodong, which is a bitterly cold place? It is of no use. It will not have any effect on our Huashan Sect?" On the ancient road covered with yellow sand, a group of more than a dozen riders rode.
The galloping horses, each holding a long sword, look like a person from the martial arts world.
"Senior brother, although Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, there are very few Jianghu forces here. Except for a few evil people, there are no other forces."
"Moreover, there are Changbai Mountain and Daxingan Mountains here, which contain a lot of medicinal materials. When we warriors practice martial arts, in addition to a lot of meat and fish, we also need medicinal materials."
"So I chose this place with these considerations in mind. Senior brother, do you know why I practice so quickly? It's entirely because I have taken a lot of decoctions in the past few years, which are all prepared from precious medicinal materials."
"In the future, as long as we establish a foothold there and organize a group of ginseng collection teams, we will be able to obtain a lot of medicinal materials, and everyone's cultivation will be accelerated by then."
Su Fan looked at the outer disciples beside him and said with a smile.
This time, there were twelve people who came with him, most of whom were in their thirties or forties, with second-rate strength, and two of them had already reached the peak of the second-rate level.
These two were brought over by Su Fan because of his cheap master.
Twelve people, plus his thirteen second-rate masters, are not afraid even if they encounter ordinary first-rate warriors.
Putting it here in Liaodong will be safer.
After all, to be honest, this place is not a place in the Central Plains. The population itself is sparse, and there are even fewer people in the world.
It is definitely suitable for his development. As for whether he can develop Huashan Villa, Su Fan is quite confident.
As long as you have money, isn't it easy to build a hospital and recruit people?
Moreover, the land of Liaodong today is still within the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
This was what he finally decided after thinking for a few days. Originally, he thought that the south was the best, because the south had developed commerce, and it would definitely be more convenient for future generations like him to make money.
But there are a lot of forces in the south, and it will be even more troublesome.
"So that's it?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had never thought of this before, and they did not expect such a good thing to happen.
They naturally know the benefits of using decoctions to practice. As for most of them, they are people of low background and do not have the financial resources.
Seeing the way everyone wanted to stop talking, Su Fan instantly understood everyone's thoughts and said: "Don't worry, senior brothers, since I have chosen you to come here, as long as I make profits in the future, I will certainly not forget you. If you break through,
First-class, then we may be able to establish this place as the second residence of the Huashan Sect in the future.”
"So when the time comes, junior brother, I will never be stingy."
"Haha! We know that junior brother will not treat us badly."
Hearing this, many senior brothers also had smiles on their faces.
...
It was already half a month after Su Fan and the others arrived in Shenyang City, and of course they were delayed for a few days.
When choosing Liaodong, Su Fan had already asked the Su family's caravan to come to Liaodong in advance and establish an outpost.
Because he wanted to build Huashan Villa, it was impossible for Su Fan to build it in Shenyang City.
So I chose Qipan Mountain. This Qipan Mountain has some origins. It is said that it came from the chess game between Lu Zu and Tieguai Li.
It is not easy to build a villa on a mountain peak, and the cost is not small. After all, even though the altitude of Qipan Mountain is not high, the mountain roads are impassable, and transporting a lot of materials up is still a problem.
Fortunately, there is a lot of wood and stone in the mountains, and the labor required is naturally not a problem for Su Fan to perform the Big Money Surgery.
Su Fan and the others are investigating and opening a mountain road. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to develop in the future.
This is not a small project, it will be simple in future generations, but now, even with martial arts masters like Su Fan.
It took more than three months to build this Huashan Villa, and even more silver.
At least tens of thousands of taels, but fortunately Su Fan was not short of money.
Having laid the foundation, in the future, he can rely on this Huashan Villa to continuously obtain silver.
This is the difference between him and those of the Huashan sect. With the knowledge of later generations and money, it is still easy to make money.
In the other courtyard, a group of fellow disciples were discussing what to do next.
It has been four months since I arrived in Liaodong. Huashan Villa has also been established on the hillside of Qipan Mountain. There are only a dozen villas and a main hall of Sanqing Temple.
"Junior brother, what should we do next?"
Fan Ming is the oldest in the group and also has the highest level of cultivation. After eating and drinking here for several months, he saw with his own eyes that Su Fan spent money like water.
Huashan sent them only three thousand taels of silver as funds for infrastructure construction, but Su Fan spent tens of thousands of taels.
This also makes everyone understand that this junior brother's net worth is absolutely extraordinary.
"What's next?"
"Of course we have to recruit people. To expand Huashan Villa, the first step is to recruit people."
"We are recruiting people, but there are very few people here, so it is difficult to recruit people."
A short and fat senior brother said.
Indeed, the land of Liaodong was originally vast and sparsely populated, and the number of Han people here was even smaller.
As for other Jurchens or Mongolians, they are not under everyone's consideration. The Huashan Sect is a Central Plains sect, and its disciples can only be Han Chinese, even the outer sect.
Are there any Han people at the bottom of Qipan Mountain? Of course there are, but there are only a few villages in a radius of a hundred miles, and together they have less than 3,000 people.
"In this way, Senior Brother Fan, you take two senior brothers to Shenyang City and open a martial arts gym. Now the Shenyang City Martial Arts Gym is recruiting people. First, recruit some people with martial arts skills, and then recruit new people."
"When the time is right, bring them back here."
"Open a martial arts gym?"
No one thought about it.
"Yes, it's best if Senior Brother Fan can make a name for himself. There are no political forces in Liaodong, and there are no experts. Except for some powerful figures in the army, this has nothing to do with us."
“That’s okay”
Hearing this, Fan Ming quickly understood what Su Fan meant by opening a martial arts school. In fact, the Huashan Sect also had many martial arts schools in Shaanxi.
Most of the disciples of the outer sect are in these martial arts schools. The martial arts schools are still very profitable. One of them recruits disciples, and the other makes money by acting as a protective umbrella for the local area.
Otherwise, where would the Huashan sect need hundreds of thousands of silver a year from?
As the largest city in Liaodong, Shenyang City also has tens of thousands of Han people, so if you open a martial arts gym, there is absolutely no problem.
Especially in the northern region, martial arts is very strong, and the external martial arts of the Huashan School are more advanced than many low-street martial arts.
When the time comes, there will definitely be people willing to enter the martial arts gym, as for the government.
Su Fan had already taken care of it, especially spending tens of thousands of taels of silver on guarding the eunuchs. Naturally, in this land of Liaodong, as long as you don't rebel, the government will rarely take care of you.
As for those guard stations, they have been managed to some extent, because Su Fan will still use them in the future.
After all, as a local snake, they need to know more about local conditions than Su Fan and others. Su Fan opened Huashan Villa here to open up new business at the same time.
The leather business in the north is definitely profitable. Once it is shipped to the southeast, it goes without saying.
Now that he's here, he won't let it go.
How the eight major Shanxi merchants made their fortunes was not based on these.
