"Later, I will ask Miss Muyu to help me purchase wood, bricks and other materials as soon as possible! As for the specific location, Brother Lu, please go and check it yourself!"
Lu Feng nodded in agreement, and then continued: "The second question is, whether it is building a news network or training a powerful soldier, it requires countless amounts of money. How do you think about this?"
These two things are almost a bottomless pit. Without strong financial support, it is nothing more than empty talk.
"I have discussed with Teng Wu just now. Now we have more than 300,000 taels of silver in our hands. You can use all of this money!" After walking out of Shanyin, Shen Tang had more than 100,000 taels of silver on his body, but he had no money along the way. The expenses totaled tens of thousands of taels. However, they pretended to be traders all the way from Shanyin to Xiangyang, especially the round trip to Beidi. The goods were originally used as cover-ups, but they were actually It made huge profits for them.
Even the current 300,000 taels are purely leftover after purchasing horses, ordnance, etc.
"Going to the North to do business will not only bring us huge profits, but most importantly, the horses and other items in the North will be necessary for us in the future. Therefore, I will find a way to build a caravan! But how to do it specifically? We will discuss the matter after I have thought it through."
"Then..." Lu Feng smiled. Sure enough, Shen Tang, who had regained his composure, was so thorough in his planning that it shocked others, "There is only one last question left. What are your plans next!"
The core of the entire team is Shen Tang, and Shen Tang's plan naturally concerns everyone.
Seeing everyone's attention gathered, Shen Tang smiled and said: "I plan to go to Suizhou to visit Mr. Fan. If possible, I will take the interpretation test in Suizhou in a few months!"
It is now the end of June, and the exam is usually held around August 15th. Calculated, there are only more than two months left, which is already extremely urgent.
When Lu Feng and others heard this, they were naturally extremely happy! If Shen Tang could become a high-ranking official in the court, it would be of great benefit to them. Although the court was weak, the top power was still higher than that of the court! Just like Xin Qiji longed to be canonized by the court. Likewise, there is of course a huge difference between turning from a rogue bandit into a regular army.
"Okay!" Lu Feng said, "Without further delay, it's just noon. Brother Cheng and I will lead a few brothers to Sanjian Mountain first. Sir, you can also ask Miss Muyu to prepare the things we need!"
None of Shen Tang and others are tea drinkers, so they pretended to be going out.
However, when Shen Tang walked out of the room, he saw a pretty little girl bowing her head outside the door.
"Greetings, sir!"
"Lian'er?" Shen Tang was stunned. Just now he was just reminiscing with the brothers and had not noticed the girl who was busy cleaning up the sundries. At this moment, he remembered that she had returned south with Teng Wu and others, shouldn't she? Is it here?
He scratched his head helplessly and said, "Come with me!" It's better to leave this girl to Xiang Ling. He is busy all day long, where can he have time to pay attention to a little maid?
"Xiang Ling, Miss Mu Yu!"
The two of them were discussing something unknown. They were sketching on paper! When they saw Shen Tangxing approaching, they paused and looked over.
When he saw the little girl following Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling's eyes were a bit playful, and Shao Muyu was a little weird. On the other hand, Zhu'er and Yun'er, the two girls, widened their eyes and looked a bit eagerly. He looked at this little girl as if a little beast had suddenly entered his territory.
"Uh... Xiangling, this is what I mentioned to you before, the singer Lian'er I rescued in the North! My husband is too busy all day long to pay attention to it, so how about letting her stay with you?" Shen Tang said with a smile. .
Xiangling stood up, came to Lian'er's side and looked around, and then said: "Husband, it's enough for Xiangling to have Zhu'er by her side. Since this girl has a heart, she can stay by her husband's side! Now my husband has many things to do. Xiangling may not always be with you, so she should have a girl to take care of her!"
After saying that, before Shen Tang could speak, Liu Xiangling whispered in Shen Tang's ear: "Husband, this little girl is also pretty. Even if my husband asks her to warm the bed, Xiangling won't object? But in the future, this hero will It is better for the husband to do less to save the beauty. First it was Mu Yu, and then there was Lian Er. If this continues, I wonder if there will be a place for Xiang Ling next to my husband in the future..."
"Okay, okay! Husband, go on your own!" After Liu Xiangling said that, she pushed Shen Tang out of the door, "Well... Lian'er, take good care of your young master..."
Shen Tang was pushed out of the door speechlessly, and Lian'er raised her head timidly, and then gave Liu Xiangling and Shao Muyu a slight blessing, "Thank you two mistresses..."
After saying these words, he turned around and followed Shen Tang's footsteps and left.
When the two people disappeared one after another, Liu Xiangling suddenly laughed, and then looked at Shao Muyu aside, "How about sister, what is the name of this mistress?"
Shao Muyu was also a little speechless, "Sister, please don't tease Mu Yu!"
"Are you kidding me?" Liu Xiangling smiled, "I just saw the way my sister looked at this little girl, but it was a little weird. Could it be that my sister is jealous!"
Shao Muyu rolled his eyelids. Even if he was jealous, how could he be jealous of a little girl? "My sister can only talk nonsense, Muyu just looked at that little girl, she looked familiar! Besides, even if he was jealous, , it should be the elder sister, how could it be my turn to be the younger sister..."
Zhu'er and Yun'er behind them couldn't help but look at each other when they saw their young lady's expression, and even nodded slightly with a common hatred! Well... The wolf is coming. If they don't take precautions, their status will be reduced. Can't compare to that little chick...
Shen Tang walked out of the house in a daze, and then the sound came back. He was ordered out by Xiang Ling's words, but he forgot to say the important thing.
Speechlessly he looked at the little girl behind him who was following suit, okay, let this girl fulfill her mission once!
In the past two or three days, Lu Feng and others had already chosen the location for building the house at the foot of Sanjian Mountain! It was only about fifteen miles away from the Shao Family Courtyard, and it was also at the foot of the mountain. It was originally a wasteland, and as long as it was given to Yingzhou City Just hand over a sum of money and you can start construction!
Being able to live here permanently, Shao Muyu naturally has a very deep relationship with Yingzhou City. Not only did a large number of timber and other materials come over, but after the 10,000 taels of silver were handed over, the magistrate of Yingzhou directly transferred Hundreds of acres of wasteland were all allocated to Shen Tang.
The wasteland at the foot of the mountain is outside Yingzhou. There are as many of these wastelands as there are, but it just gives the Shao family face, so why wouldn't Lord Zhizhou do it?
