The clouds are lingering in Yu Mansion, and the rain is gradually falling, but it is spring rain, and I can't feel the cold. In a hall, two people are sitting, talking about their account books.
"I checked and found that the Relic Pearl Pavilion has been completely completed. It has thirty suites in the monastery and one hundred left and right wing rooms, totaling two hundred and thirty rooms."
"It cost fifty-seven thousand taels of silver!" Mr. Kou exhaled and sighed: "Now fifty-three people have been verified, and the estimated monthly expenses are five thousand taels.
Yu Fan put down the account book, pondered for a moment, and said: "The expenses are huge. No wonder others don't do this. Although the clan gave me 130,000 taels of silver, it is impossible for me to want it again. Don't look at my Yu family
It’s a wealthy family, but the expenses are also high, so you still need to organize it yourself.”
Mr. Kou immediately understood.
Yu Fan is the county magistrate of Nancang County. His family has 800 hectares of fertile land, thousands of clansmen, 3,000 slaves, and hundreds of dead men. The prefect must avoid it, but it is impossible to give it to an individual, even if he is his legitimate son.
how many.
Mr. Kou pondered for a moment and asked: "It is said that the Lord wants to open a copper road, is that right?"
After Yu Fan became a scholar, Mr. Kou no longer called him the third son, but the lord.
Thirty percent of what the imperial court needs every year. A few days ago, the imperial court finally allowed each county to open a mine. My family may get one."
"But this is the whole family's business, not mine. Besides, managing thousands of copper workers is also a big deal. If you are not careful, it can easily cause trouble. This is all our Yu family's responsibility."
"In a short period of time, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to get any income, I will also have to fill it up."
At this moment, Mr. Kou understood his lord's thoughts and followed the meaning of his words: "My lord, it seems that this business is still hopeless. What about the waterway?"
Yu Fan listened and smiled: "We can still count on the waterway, but we can't say much at this time. It's almost time and the rain is light these days. Let's go down!"
Just when Mr. Kou was about to leave, Yu Fan said again: "Hold on, do you think there are any great talents in the Relic Pearl Hall who have spent so much money?"
"I was just about to report this to my lord." Mr. Kou stroked his forehead and took a deep breath: "It would be false to say that there are no talents. Everyone has some abilities and skills.
"But if there are talents that stand out, they don't seem to be seen. Maybe it's because the time is too short and they haven't shown up yet." Mr. Kou said with some distress.
Yu Fan smiled after hearing this: "According to my opinion, there will definitely be a mixed bag of good and bad people when opening this Dragon Relic Pavilion - don't worry, you can always find talented people!"
Mr. Kou shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this, but what I'm worried about is my lord. You built this bead museum just to recruit talents, but you offended a lot of people. If you really succeed, it won't work.
If it works, I won’t be able to face my lord anymore...
Yu Fan was calm on the surface, but his heart was tumbling. He did have this worry, but he couldn't show it at this time. He waved his hand and said: "You are in charge of the Relic Pearl Hall, and every scholar who comes in will inspect them one by one, and ask questions every day.
I only sleep for three hours, which is already fulfilling my duty."
"The greatest contribution to finding talents is you. If there are no talents, it is not your responsibility, it is my lack of luck and virtue!" Yu Fan said, saying this, he also felt sad, but this feeling is not emotional.
After just a flash, he quickly regained his composure and took a sip of tea.
After being solved by his uncle, Lu Shangjing's matter was settled (investigation came out), and the original empty mood was gradually offset.
But in recent days, especially today, there are always more empty emotions spreading in my heart, which is particularly empty and depressing, making me breathless.
Thinking of this, Huo Li stood up and paced back and forth impatiently. It took him a long time to stand still, and turned around and said, "You have to earn your own luck. Take your time. As long as we treat others with sincerity, there will always be talented people willing to come here."
"Master, Master!" At this moment, Yu Fan's personal maid came in.
Yu Fan was startled and said unhappily: "Why, didn't I tell you not to barge in when my husband and I were discussing things?"
"Sir, how dare I disobey your order? It's just that the seventh master has an unexpected order and calls you over.
The seventh master was Yu Pingzhi. Yu Fan was suddenly startled and felt an ominous premonition. He stood up and left. Seeing his lord walking away, Mr. Kou was stunned for a moment and sighed.
The hot spring is only four hundred meters away from here, forming a large garden. It only took half a moment to drive there, and arrived in front of the avenue. I saw a servant waiting for him, and asked: "Where is Uncle Qi now?"
"In the Hot Spring Bamboo House." The servant agreed, and just led the way and walked forward quickly without saying a word. Yu Fan felt an ominous feeling of impending disaster and followed him straight away.
Arriving in front of a quiet room, Yu Fan knew that he had arrived and said: "My nephew Fan wants to see you."
"Come in!" A very clear voice came from inside. Yu Fan felt relieved and went in. This was a quiet room, only a few feet square, very quiet and elegant.
At the south end of the wooden couch, there is a bookcase with a jade flute stuck in it. At the west end, the table is facing the window, with an unknown flower in a vase on it, and Yu Pingzhi is reading with a book in his hand.
Yu Fan saluted again and felt more relieved when he saw Yu Pingzhi's rosy face. He saw that Yu Pingzhi was a little melancholy. He put down the book for a moment and asked a few questions about the situation in the Relic Pearl Hall. He didn't say anything for a moment, and just walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
, took a long time, and then sighed: "I still feel good about the Relic Pearl Hall, but whether there is money or not is the key. Without money, it is all empty talk."
"You don't have to make up your mind about the copper mine. This is a major issue within the clan. Unless you become the head of the family, it's not your turn to speak!" After saying that, he turned to stare at Yu Fan and said, "The waterway is more realistic.
…”
Having said this, Yu Pingzhi looked at Yu Fan with bright eyes and sighed inwardly.
Yu Fan, the direct son of a noble family, not only has a background that makes people look up to him, but he is also born with the luck that is passed down through his bloodline. Although it is just a little bit, it is golden. As he grows up, he can absorb the white and red energy and quickly become a person.
Given the climate, this is really not comparable to the nouveau riche.
But now, there is an ominous sign. He pondered for a long time before saying: "I told you before that we sacrificed a lot to win a dragon ball, so I will simply tell you today."
"Dragon beads have dragon energy, and they have a series of causes and conditions. The Dragon King's Banquet is one of them. Although the leader has been lost, it is still half of it."
"Now that you have passed the scholar examination, you originally wanted to wait and become more stable before going, but you are afraid that time will not wait for me and you will not miss the opportunity."
"Go to Luhua County and find a fortune teller. He only appears in the early morning of the 15th day of every month, when the sun first rises."
"The fifteenth day of this month has passed, so you should look for the fifteenth day of April. This person has a great influence on your success or failure. You don't need to ask about the specific details. No matter how bad words this person says, you must be respectful and respectful."
Yu Fan's eyes lit up after hearing this. What Yu Pingzhi said today was too far away from what he had thought just now. He couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself for being so mediocre, and said, "Uncle, what opportunities are there here?"
"You will know this when the time comes. No matter how much this person insults you, you have to be respectful. As long as you have this rule, he will still have to give you an opportunity in the end!" Yu Pingzhi said this, his eyes flashed.
Shen: "As long as you act carefully, you can not only get some of the dragon beads' karma, but you can also open up a waterway with these fates."
"You have to understand that everything depends on logistics and food. With this waterway, you can obtain a lot of wealth. The cost of the Relic Pearl Hall is not worth mentioning. You can also start with talents, hire wise men, and then train armored soldiers... This
Luck will come."
"If you can't do this, what else can you talk about? Although we won't cut off all the people in the future, I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult and bumpy."
Yu Fan chewed on Yu Pingzhi's words, feeling hot and sour in his heart. He didn't know all these secrets. Only then did he realize that there were other secrets in the clan that he didn't know?
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Pingzhi said again: "That's it. Without further ado, you can go to Luhua County now!"
"Yes, my nephew has resigned."
Seeing Yu Fan walking away, Yu Pingzhi suddenly turned pale and stopped coughing. Using the handkerchief, he saw a bright red inside, and his heart sank.
"It seems that I really don't have much time left. I really want to stay with Fan'er for a while and help him stabilize his foundation!"
"Thirty years ago, there was a change in the heavenly secrets, and dragon aura gradually emerged in various places. However, the magicians of the clan sneaked into the imperial capital and hid for three years before they had a chance to spy on Da Cai's dragon aura. However, they saw that Da Cai's dragon aura had not faded and was still alive.
It means strengthening, which is a change that is rare in the history.
"Yingzhou's Dragon Qi has also risen. In order to deal with this incident, the clan did not hesitate to take the risk of enmity with the Dragon clan and snatched a dragon ball to respond to the secret of heaven."
"I observed ten years ago that although the Yingzhou Dragon Qi is as thin as a hair and has a weak foundation, it is still Dragon Qi, and it has the status of a prince. I originally thought that it would be Fan'er, but something happened.
"
"Is it really true that human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations? Is this a counterattack from heaven?"
"No matter what, the Dragon King's Banquet is just the beginning. Opening up the waterway is the key. If Fan'er gets it, his luck will greatly increase. But if it doesn't work, even if he has the Dragon Pearl, it will be difficult to match Yingzhou's dragon energy."
"It's hard for me to predict now. Even if I'm afraid, I'm going to die suddenly. But what's going on with this ominous premonition?"
"No, we have paid so much and almost all our family savings before we have this opportunity. This will definitely work!" Yu Pingzhi gasped and coughed violently again.
If the dragon ball is given to one person, he will be qualified to become a Jinshi, but only one person has the chance.
Fighting for the Dragon World, after learning about the situation of Da Cai's dragon energy, I didn't even think about it, but as long as you are a prince, you can protect many people, which is much better than one person's achievements.
Not to mention Yu Pingzhi, many clan members are counting on this!
"I hope I can succeed this time. As long as I succeed this time, I will have another chance to calculate Fan'er's last chance."
"God, please agree to my request!"
At this time, Yu Pingzhi was wandering in his heart. Even though he had resented his fate all his life, he silently prayed to God, hoping that his wish would come true.
