Chapter 38 Harvest
At this time, Zhang Chen, who was responsible for calculating the Mei family industry, walked over with shock, suppressed the shock in his heart, and whispered to report: "Young Master, our harvest this time is so great! The Wuzhu coins in Mei Mansion only have 3.5 million yuan, and there are 20,000 acres of land deeds for fertile land, and countless gold, silver and bronze ware..."
Zhang Chen told the gains from Mei family one by one, whether it was money, land, slaves, farms, weapons, armor, caravans, and shops, and there were all in huge numbers. Zhou Tai and Pei Yuanshao were shocked by the side.
Gao Cheng also smiled on his face when he heard this, "Yes, after the Mei family's family business is annexed, the Gao family will immediately become the number one force in Huai'an. By the way, the shopkeepers of the Mei family's shop should not let them go. The Mei family's caravan and shop cannot do without these people."
The Gao family was originally just a small family and had no talents in their family. When they accepted the Mei family business, it was inevitable that they would be a little unsuccessful. However, with Gao Cheng, a powerful man who killed the ninth-level samurai, the entire Huaian City family did not move any abnormally, and watched the Gao family slowly digest the Mei family's industry.
When he returned home, Gao Cheng handed over all the trivial matters outside to Gao Tai. Gao Ying took some servants to do the big and small things in the mansion. Not long after, the dozens of people who were originally in the small village outside the city were also rescued by Gao Tai. Each of them left the city with the reward of three thousand coins with excitement.
With these five-zhu coins, it is enough for these people to live a good life.
"There is no need to hurry to organize county soldiers to attack the thieves in Baima Lake. It has been one or two months after the boat is ready. During this period, I will try my best to strengthen my strength. By the way, Mei Lin, who deceived me, has been killed, and there is also Chen Yuan! The two shops in Gao's Guangling City have all been in the hands of this person!"
As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge for ten years, but Gao Cheng believes that he is not a gentleman, and takes revenge from morning to night. When he thinks of the name Chen Yuan, a fire of nameless surges in his heart.
Chen Yuan is a child of the Chen family in Guangling, and if he wants to deal with him, he needs to plan carefully. After all, the Chen family in Guangling is the first family in Guangling County. Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son are both famous scholars in Xuzhou and have reached the level of the soul refining realm. The two extraordinary families in Guangling are beyond the reach.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan is not a direct descendant of the Chen family in Guangling. Gao Cheng is more careful and should not mess with Chen Gui and Chen Deng. Next, Gao Cheng stayed at home and did not go out, and began to improve the Yang family's shooting skills, preparing to upgrade this martial arts to the level of a master.
As time passed, the news that the Huai'an Mei family was annexed by the Gao family began to spread in Guangling County. Many children and heroes of aristocratic families knew about Gao Cheng killing the ninth-level warrior of training with one move. His reputation spread to the surroundings inadvertently.
Seven days later.
In the wide martial arts training ground, there were many gun shadows, whistling in the air with violent power. The heavy iron spear was like a roaring poisonous dragon, and every time it stabbed out, it caused a burst of air.
Gao Cheng has upgraded the Yang family's marksmanship to the level of a master. Each move contains an extremely tragic momentum. When faced with this set of marksmanship, ordinary people may have their heads blank if they are hit by the evil spirits in it just a few glances. They can watch the spear roaring and waiting for their lives to be harvested.
"Young Master, Uncle Lu has arrived!" At this time, a maid came to report that the maid looked so good that she was as beautiful as a cream, with a pretty and charming appearance. She originally had a high-quality appearance, which made her look even more beautiful against the backdrop of her jade-like skin.
When Gao Cheng saw this maid, he was also secretly shocked. There was a beautiful girl hidden among the refugees he brought back from his family.
Gao Cheng took the sweat towel handed over by the girl, wiped his hands casually, and then said, "Yu'er, you go down first! I have something to discuss with Uncle Lu!"
The girl's father's surname is Gan. He was rescued by Gao Cheng from the bandit village with her, but her father could not bear the rush and unfortunately passed away on the way back to Guangling. She was the only girl left to survive in this world.
After arriving at Gao's mansion, Gao Ying deliberately took care of Sister Gan, whom she met on the road, and deliberately made her a maid Gao Cheng's sidewalk. She only had to take care of the young master's daily life and did not have to do those tiring chores.
"Yes, young master!" Gan Yu carefully put away the sweat towel and quickly left the martial arts training ground. After she left, Lu Hong walked over quickly in a strong outfit.
Lu Hong's expression was no longer as casual as before, and he looked respectful. Since he learned that Gao Cheng killed the master of the Mei family and became the temporary county magistrate, he quickly adjusted his identity in his heart.
"I'll pay homage to the county magistrate!" Lu Hong bowed and bowed.
Gao Cheng waved his hand speechlessly and said, "Brother Zizheng, you don't have to be so polite between you and me. Besides, whether I, the county magistrate, has been appointed by the imperial court, you are not my subordinate!"
Seeing that the other party's attitude towards him did not change much, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his mind. He smiled and said, "As long as the young master wiped out the Baima Lake thieves, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a county lieutenant."
Gao Cheng said: "Let's talk about these things later. Have you found out what I asked you to inquire about?"
Lu Hong habitually glanced around and saw no one, then whispered: "I have already found out clearly. I have used the 100,000 yuan that the young master gave me a few days ago to buy a few goblins in Guangling. They said that Chen Yuan was about to go to Xia Pi if he had something to do."
"But he did not choose the Huai'an road, but was preparing to walk to Yandu in the east. If the young master wants to deal with him, he needs to travel hundreds of miles to Yandu territory!"
Gao Cheng couldn't see clearly what expression he said in a deep voice: "It's really hard for you to find out the news so quickly. I once said that if Brother Zizheng was willing to help, I would agree to an unstoppable condition. I wonder if you have thought about it?"
Lu Hong said embarrassedly: "I really have something to bother the young master. I have a clan brother who is over twenty years old this year, has brute force and is very proficient in water. I heard that the young master is preparing to recruit soldiers and train sailors to wipe out the bandits in Baima Lake. I wonder if the young master can bring my clan brother under the account?"
Gao Cheng hesitated for a moment. What Lu Hong said about the income account meant that after his clan brother joined the army, he could not be a big-headed soldier, but at least he had to be a small school that could obey orders in the military account.
"Okay, I agree to this. What's your clan brother's name?" Gao Cheng thought for a while. If Lu Hong's clan brother is useless, then he should be just a idle person. Anyway, this sailor is not a soldier recognized by the court. After strangling the White Horse Lake water thieves, he became Gao's private soldiers. It doesn't matter if there is one more person or less.
Lu Hong hurriedly said, "My clan brother's name is Lu Dai, and his courtesy name is Ding Gong! I will let him come to the young master's disciple tomorrow to listen to it!"
