Chapter 86 Buying Land and Building a Base
Shengxia arrived at the training ground, and Huolin was also on his way. Huolin stood behind Shengxia and respectfully called out, "General."
Shengxia nodded in agreement, then turned her back to Huo Lin and said, "Deputy General Huo, I'll go to court in a while. As long as those three barbarians survive, don't worry too much about the rest. I'll take care of anything that happens."
"Yes, General." Huo Lin answered loudly, and then his eyes fell on the faint red mark on Shengxia's neck. In the end, he could only force himself to look away.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you." Shengxia saw Xia Yanjing leaving the tent and calculated the time. If they set off now, they would just catch up with the morning court.
Huo Lin watched Shengxia leave, and saw with his own eyes Shengxia and Xia Yanjing walk out of the military camp side by side, while he could only stand behind Shengxia forever.
Huo Lin was jealous in his heart. When he was on the battlefield, he thought that he would express his feelings to Shengxia after the war was over, he had earned military merits and had some status.
After he had military merits, he was always afraid and retreated. Shengxia was so outstanding, and he felt that he was just a commoner, and even if he became a deputy general, he was still not worthy of him.
I had originally planned to wait until things were stable before finding a suitable opportunity to explore Shengxia's thoughts, but I didn't expect to receive the news of His Majesty granting the marriage, and it was too late.
In the carriage, Xia Yanjing took out the official uniform he had prepared in advance and handed it to Shengxia, asking for credit, "Xia Xia, am I awesome?"
"Great, great." Shengxia responded with a smile, and then changed into official uniform in the carriage. After changing, she looked up at Xia Yanjing, and what she got was Xia Yanjing's close gaze.
"Yan Jing, tomorrow is a day off. Let's go to Qingfeng Villa to visit our elder brother and the others." Sheng Xia blushed a little when she was stared at by Xia Yanjing, and then changed the subject and suggested.
"Wherever Xia Xia goes, I go." Xia Yanjing leaned close to Sheng Xia and said stickyly.
"I'll take me to the palace gate later. You can go back first. Then we can ask the people in the palace to pick me up."
"Okay, I just happened to be going to check out the shops in the East Market. By the way, Xia Xia, after court, please go to the Ministry of Works to get me a document to start construction."
"I'll remember it." Shengxia nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Xia Yanjing watched Shengxia enter the palace and then left.
Xia Yanjing went to the East Market and saw that the four shops in the East Market were doing extremely booming business. Xia Yanjing nodded with satisfaction. This is the charm of clearance sales.
Seeing that the clerk inside was so busy, Xia Yanjing did not go in, but turned and went to Nanshi. Nanshi had the largest brokerage firm in Beijing. Whether it was buying land, buying a house, or buying people, it was the right place to go.
Xia Yanjing arrived at the pawnshop, which had no extra words on it. As soon as he reached the door, a servant came up to greet him enthusiastically, "My humble servant is Yu San, you can just call me Xiao Yu. What is this master planning to buy?"
"I'm planning to buy some land." Xia Yanjing said calmly.
When Yu San saw Xia Yanjing dressed luxuriously, he knew that Xia Yanjing must be a big client and was extremely enthusiastic. He thought that he must win over Xia Yanjing today, as his father was still waiting for money to buy medicine.
Yu San was about to say something when he saw a slightly plump man approaching from a distance. He pushed the people next to Xia Yanjing aside, looked at Xia Yanjing with a smile, and said flatteringly, "This gentleman can come to me if he wants to see anything. He just arrived and doesn't understand."
Xia Yanjing looked at Yu San standing aside, angry but not daring to speak out. However, after Xia Yanjing, a veteran, gained a certain status, he stood up when he saw this kind of workplace bullying.
"I like him, so I want him to receive you." Xia Yanjing did not indulge the person in front of him, but asked Yu San to receive him by name.
The slightly plump dentist's expression was grim for a moment, but then he smiled again. "Sir, I've been working here for many years. You can be right if you trust me."
Xia Yanjing crossed his arms across his chest, looked at the slightly plump broker, and said without any impatience, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you don't understand, I'll ask your manager how to recruit people."
Seeing that Xia Yanjing insisted, the slightly plump dentist prepared to leave reluctantly. When he left, he looked at Yu San fiercely, while Yu San looked at Xia Yanjing with gratitude.
"Thank you, sir." Yu San said seriously, his eyes slightly red. He originally came from a wealthy family, but after his father passed away, he and his father depended on each other, and their lives gradually became difficult.
He has been working at the brokerage for three years. Those people bullied him because he had no background, and he had no idea how many customers he had lost. During these three years, he had only managed to survive by serving some small businesses, otherwise he would have been fired long ago.
Today, Xia Yanjing stood up for him. This was the first kindness he had felt since his father's death. For a moment, the bitterness in his heart could not help but surge up.
"Let's go and take a look at the land." Xia Yanjing said with a smile.
"Okay." Yu San turned around and quietly wiped away his tears, then resumed his usual warm hospitality.
"Where is this gentleman planning to buy from and how big should he buy?" Yu San quickly switched to professional mode.
"I want to buy land outside the capital."
"Yes, yes, sir, do you have any specific requirements? How big an area do you want?"
"It would be best to find a place surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side, with an area of about two thousand acres." Xia Yanjing said after thinking seriously for a moment.
Yu San opened his mouth in shock when he heard what Xia Yanjing said. He must have heard it right. Two thousand acres, how much silver would that cost? If this deal could be successful, how much silver would he get? Then his father would have money to buy medicine.
Yu San said in surprise, "Master, what you want is available. It's just ten miles outside the capital. Although it's a bit far from the capital, the scenery there is beautiful. Although there is a little arable land, the price-performance ratio is very high."
"Okay, let's go take a look now. If it's suitable, we can make a decision today."
"Okay." Yu San wanted to introduce it more, but he didn't expect Xia Yanjing to decide to go and see it so quickly. The surprise came too suddenly.
