544 Stones for a House

The soldiers instantly felt incredibly valued; what could be better than such treatment?

For the chosen ones, there might still be a chance, but for them, let alone a demonic dragon, even a demonic tiger or a demonic king is rare. Such a treasure is not impossible for soldiers with average blood and energy to break through.

Instantly, a surge of emotion welled up in his eyes, but a man should not shed tears so easily. His tears transformed into cheers and shouts of gratitude that filled the air.

A sense of belonging and honor ignited like a boiling furnace.

Yun Su was also overjoyed. So many soldiers had come from afar, and their loyalty and dedication should naturally be treated well.

Compared to his father's prestige, he knew that this unity and harmony was of paramount importance to the entire army.

She gently turned her head to look at Yun Qing, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. Yun Qing had always been silently giving and supporting her from behind.

Yun Su said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, sister. However, your exposed strength might attract the attention of some malicious individuals. We must be even more careful."

His words were full of concern and worry for Yun Qing, knowing that with more and more variables, the exposure of powerful strength would often attract the attention and vigilance of those with ulterior motives.

Yun Qing gently took Yun Su's hand, clasped her hands together, and whispered, "Don't worry, sister, I will be able to truly break through soon, and I will not leave this place easily."

For everything else, we'll have to trouble you, little sister. As Sister Xixi said, if anything happens, you can handle it with us.

Yun Su nodded and said softly, "Thank you, sister. I am also gradually delegating tasks to the city guards. After the city guards break through, I think they will be able to handle many things on their own."

I can quickly extricate myself from the situation involving the captain and the men in black and white; I just need to keep the overall direction in mind.

Yun Qing nodded.

Yun Su smiled gently and continued, "Since Mr. Wang has decided to enter the world, the Baisha Academy behind him should also send someone to support him. After all, ordinary people are the majority; not everyone is a genius."

Yun Shuni chuckled softly, "In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Wang. However, Mr. Wang should have already considered this matter when he took office. Therefore, the Changzhou area can be left to Mr. Wang."

Yun Su nodded. A word once spoken cannot be taken back, and a promise is a promise. For Mr. Wang, not taking office could only represent his words and actions.

However, if one is born into the world, it signifies the conduct and behavior of the sect, and the sect will provide much support.

The ability to spread and flourish is always achieved through subtle and gradual processes; otherwise, countless sects and academies would have disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

Yun Su and the others smiled lightly. Mr. Wang's departure was just right. After all, he was Mr. Shen Lang, and Mr. Wang understood this in his heart.

If He Chen were just an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter, but Qianlong's momentum has already been established, and even if he denies it, he will find it difficult to get rid of the influence brought by He Chen.

Moreover, having such a disciple is a source of pride for me.

A teacher is one whose students surpass their teachers; with such achievements, how can one not be satisfied?

Yun Qing said softly, "Sister, you should go back first. I'll be fine here."

Yun Su chuckled softly, a hint of blush creeping across her face, "Sister, come back with me, otherwise we won't be able to handle this."

Yun Shuni and Yun Qing blushed and nodded gently. Outside, the lion-horse was already waiting; soon it took flight and slowly headed towards the city gate.

On the back of the lion-horse, I could see in the distance that on the open fields, tractors were turning the soil, and there were many people around. Although I had seen it many times before, I still felt a sense of admiration.

Her lover was also there, and beside him, Gui San, they were whispering something, clearly also there for this item.

The three of them did not go forward to disturb them, but continued back into the city, because they estimated that Xie Yanyan and the others from Wanzhou would arrive in the next couple of days.

Yun Su said softly, "Let's go to Sister Han's place. The Commandant of Dalong Prefecture is probably on his way too. Also, we've recently received purchasing requests from some powerful families—the Fei family, the Xie family, and the Wu family in Bodai Prefecture. We can't afford to be too concerned right now."

Yun Shuni nodded lightly and said cheerfully, "Okay, let Master Yan see when he'll be free. It would be good if the weapons for the soldiers in the army formation also needed repair or replacement."

Yun Su nodded and said softly, "The production of soldiers' armor and other clothing has already been handed over to the families of soldiers. If we expand the army, the demand for all kinds of supplies will need to be doubled. However, the current situation is unstable, so we still need to discuss how to settle the accounts."

Our grain reserves are also insufficient. If things stabilize in the next year or two, our reserves will be much more adequate.

Outside the Divine Forging Gate, Yun Su and her two companions arrived quietly. Han Linling gently opened the door to greet them, leading them inside slowly. She whispered, "My lover has collected some spirit ores, as well as ores he recently gathered from the surrounding area. Some of them are quite good; although they can't compare to Dragon Fang, they are still rare forging materials."

The vast Hundred Thousand Mountains hold many treasures, and the reputation of the border city has gradually grown, especially for its long-term purchase of aged herbs, spiritual fruits, and medicinal substances. Once inside the border city's territory, herb gatherers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Even those who intended to rob became quiet, naturally because the soldiers had slaughtered many, and within a hundred miles, bandits and brigands who maliciously robbed medicinal herbs were killed until blood flowed everywhere and heads rolled, which brought a bit of peace today.

Master Yan buys ores, and Old Man Weng explains the prices to him. The prices are fair, just like medicinal herbs such as ginseng. Some ores or hard stones that are obtained by chance are carefully taken out to be sold.

Starting with a star-patterned stone the size of a thumb from the first person, they gradually collected various peculiar minerals.

Some individuals, with the money from the stones and their own savings, bought a small house in the city, and the news spread instantly.

Xiao Da'er actually bought a house with a stone! Matchmakers have been knocking his door down so many times. And, I heard that Master Li is willing to marry his daughter to him. Master Li comes from a scholarly family, and his daughters are all well-educated, virtuous, and kind.

I heard they met yesterday; that Xiao Da'er really got lucky.

'How could it be that Xiao Da'er benefited? If you ask me, it's Master Li who benefited. Even if Master Li's family had some money, they couldn't buy this land. Apart from the land granted by the original villages, no other land here could be bought.'

However, those who own houses in the city are said to have priority in renting vacant land for cultivation.

Those without housing are forced to rent land far away, while those with housing enjoy more benefits.
