Chapter 87 A Busy Day
Xia Yanjing did not take the carriage of the pawnshop. He had to apply for it through various procedures. If he had the time, he would have already walked half of the way. After all, he couldn't let the children stay in Qingfeng Villa all the time.
Shitou drove the carriage, and Yu San sat with Shitou, showing him the way. In addition, according to the rules, he was not allowed to sit in the carriage.
Half an hour later, the three finally arrived at the place Yu San mentioned. This place has been in the pawnshop for a long time. If it can be sold, it will be a blessing from God, Yu San thought silently.
"Master, this is it."
Xia Yanjing looked in the direction Yu San pointed, and saw two majestic and spectacular mountains in the distance, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling.
There is a vast plain at the foot of the mountain, but unlike what you might imagine, this is not a flat grassland. Instead, it is covered with large and small stones, making the plain appear a bit rugged.
In front of them was a two-meter-wide river. The water was crystal clear and the gurgling sound made a clear and pleasant sound.
There is a small wooden bridge across the river. The bridge looks old and a little worn, but it still spans the river steadily, connecting the two banks.
Xia Yanjing took a look and was quite satisfied with the location. It was far away from human habitation and backed by two mountains, which provided excellent privacy. He would then build high walls around it and arrange guards to guard it. In his mind, this would be the best place for training and storing food.
Seeing that Xia Yanjing had been silent, Yu San thought that Xia Yanjing was dissatisfied, so he stepped forward and recommended, "Master, you see, the scenery here is beautiful. Although there are many rocks, if you clean it up a little, it will become a large area of land. Please consider it."
Yu San was also a little unsure. Many people who saw it turned around and left when they saw so many stones. After all, it took a huge amount of manpower and material resources to clean up so many stones. With the time and money, they might as well buy some ready-made farms.
"What's the price here now?" Xia Yanjing already had a plan in mind, so he asked Yu San for the price. If it was suitable, he would go back to get the silver today and go to the land agency to get the land deed tomorrow.
"Master, we need eight thousand taels of silver here." Yu Sanyi couldn't figure out Xia Yanjing's thoughts for a moment, and said to Xia Yanjing nervously.
"Okay, this is it. Let's go to the land agency tomorrow to get the land deed." Xia Yanjing put his hands behind his back, looked at the scenery in front of him, and made the decision.
"That's great, sir. I will wait for you at the door of the pharmacy tomorrow." Yu San was ecstatic. He really did it. His father had a way to get the money to buy medicine.
After Xia Yanjing sent Yu San to the door of the pawnshop, he prepared to go to the West Market. The stones there needed to be cleaned, and he needed to find some strong people to do it, and the people at the dock were the best choice.
Xia Yanjing came to Mianweixian. At this time, Mianweixian had already started to get busy, but it didn't affect it since Chang Amo was there. Xia Yanjing called Chang Hao to go to the backyard. Chang Hao had been setting up a stall at the dock before, so he must know a lot of people.
"Chang Hao, are you still familiar with the guys at the dock? I have a job I'd like to find someone to do."
"Back to the boss, I'm friends with them. It's been hot lately, and there's not much work at the docks. Many people are worried. How many people do you think you need?"
"The more people, the better, preferably some strong men. The daily wage is 60 wen, including lunch, and it will be paid daily."
"That's great, boss, don't worry, I will make sure this matter is handled properly." This was the first time Xia Yanjing asked Chang Hao to do something other than making noodles, and he was very excited.
"Okay, I'll come here to recruit people in two days." After Xia Yanjing finished his instructions, he prepared to leave. After all, it was dinner time, and Chang Amo would definitely not be able to handle the work alone in the store.
Xia Yanjing was also planning to go find Zhang Mu. The four shops were going to be demolished tomorrow. Since he was in Xishi, it would be better to talk to Zhang Mu. After all, he and Xia Xia were going to Qingfeng Villa tomorrow.
Xia Yanjing came to Zhang Mu's shop. Only Lan Zhou was in the shop at this time. Xia Yanjing walked into the shop and shouted, "Brother, is Brother Zhang out?"
"No, he's cooking. You can just go to the backyard to find him." Lan Zhou was embroidering tiger-head shoes at the time and said with a smile.
"good."
Xia Yanjing walked into the kitchen and saw Zhang Mu busy cooking. Hearing the noise and seeing Xia Yanjing coming, he was very happy, "Brother Jing, you are here."
"I went to Noodles Fresh and just happened to come see you, Brother Zhang. I have to go out tomorrow, and those four shops will be dismantled as usual. I will let Butler Wu accompany you for a day. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to him."
"Sure, no problem. I've already found the right people. They're all trustworthy. Just leave it to me. Have you got the groundbreaking documents?"
"No, I asked Xia Xia to get one for me today. Don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to you tomorrow."
"That's fine. I don't worry about anything else. I'm just worried about the government causing trouble."
"Brother, you are busy. I have to go back to have dinner with Xia Xia." After saying this, Xia Yanjing did not disturb the busy Zhang Mu.
"Okay, I won't see you off. Just leave it to me." Zhang Mu kept moving his hands and turned to Xia Yanjing to assure him.
"You're leaving so soon?" Lan Zhou was slightly surprised to see Xia Yanjing was about to leave after just a moment.
"Yes, I have to hurry back to have dinner with Xia Xia. Brother, please stay. You don't have to see me off." Xia Yanjing saw Lan Zhou getting ready to get up and quickly stopped him.
"Okay, then drive slowly." Lan Zhou said with a smile, and then watched Xia Yanjing leave.
When Xia Yanjing returned to the general's mansion, Shengxia was waiting for Xia Yanjing to come back in the main hall to have dinner together.
"Xia Xia, I'm back." Xia Yanjing had been busy all day. When he saw Sheng Xia, his tiredness was swept away and he shouted happily.
"Prepare the meal." Shengxia ordered the servant at the door, and then poured a cup of tea for Xia Yanjing.
Xia Yanjing took the tea and took a sip, then he began to talk to Shengxia about what he had experienced today. Soon the food was ready, and the two of them ate while chatting.
"By the way, Xia Xia, I hope His Majesty didn't make things difficult for you when you went to court today." Xia Yanjing suddenly remembered those barbarian envoys.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty is only reprimanding me verbally, and he doesn't actually blame me. After all, that barbarian envoy dared to cause trouble in the capital. If he is not severely punished, it will damage the reputation of our Wei Dynasty. Therefore, Your Majesty will not blame me."
"Plus, they offended the son of the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor has many disciples, and they all spoke for me in the court today, so this matter was let go."
