50 three people
As we approached Huangtu County, the area became more lively. People carried vegetables on shoulder poles, went to the market, and herded pigs. There were also people with children, all holding their children's hands tightly.
Look at the scene before me!
A man dressed in a simple gang uniform quickly approached. He bowed respectfully and said, "Boss, your subordinate Yang San is here awaiting you on orders from Leader Gui."
'Thanks a lot.'
Then he turned to Yun Su and asked, "Su'er, I can't control other places, but I want to change this county. Is that alright?"
Yun Su looked intently for a while with her beautiful eyes, then smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, you are overthinking it. It's not that the Holy Emperor doesn't want to manage these places, but there are too many powerful demons, evil spirits, and ghosts. If you can bring peace and prosperity to the people, what's wrong with this place? The Holy Emperor also conquered the world by force."
Moreover, some cities are jointly ruled by the families and the Holy Emperor! Brother, you'll understand when you go to the royal city. It's very complicated inside anyway. If you can govern this border region well, brother, that will be a great achievement.
"Haha, thank you so much, my Su'er!" At this moment, He Chen bowed deeply on horseback, clasping his hands in gratitude.
A family saying goes: "False teachings fill countless books!" That's absolutely true!
Yun Su smiled simply. She didn't refuse!
Fanghua in her arms was indeed a little confused. Biyunyan listened quietly, without disturbing her in the slightest.
"Yang San, tell the Ghost Gang Leader that I'm going to change the security situation around the county. From today onwards, everything that shouldn't be there will be dealt with. If anyone objects, give me their names, and I'll go and reason with them one by one. Isn't it all about winning people over with virtue? I'll do the same!"
He paused, then added, "Also, if there's any unclaimed wasteland in the distance, we'll take it. We'll provide the seeds for anyone willing to cultivate it, no rent! The harvest will be split 40/60, with us getting 40%."
Build a pavilion over there for people to rest. Clear out the surrounding wild animals first; report any you cannot handle to me immediately. Also, arrange for horse-drawn carriages or oxcarts to transport those who cultivate the land in distant areas.
Also, tell the Ghost Gang Leader that I want to build a city outside Huangtu County, on the border!
"Build a city!" Yang San was stunned. Then, he was instantly overjoyed. Build a city!
The gang leader builds the city; they are the ones who reap the rewards. "Yes, gang leader, I will immediately inform Vice Gang Leader Ghost."
'Su'er, I want to build a city on the border. I wonder if you could help with the planning?'
"Great! I've never built a city before, but I've heard that many demons and monsters will invade during the construction process. It's also said that once a city is built, it automatically defends against some low-level evil spirits and ghosts. So it will attract some demons to attack it automatically!"
'Good thing you came! If you hadn't come sooner, you could have shown them how powerful your husband is!'
'Su'er doesn't want it; you're teasing her again.'
"Haha, thank you so much, Su'er."
"Yang San, have the Ghost Gang Leader keep a close watch on the wolf demon and other monsters. Inform me immediately if there's any news. Also, arrange for people to be stationed at the Birch Forest Market. Let me know immediately if anything happens while I'm away."
"Yes, sir. I will arrange it immediately."
'Boss, you should go have breakfast.'
"Alright, I'm actually hungry. Su'er, Yunyan, let's go get something to eat. Yang San, lead the way; where are some snacks around here?"
Yang San quickly led the way, "This way, sir. There are plenty of snacks here, and they're not expensive."
There are steamed buns, mantou (steamed bread), spring rolls, and spicy soup...
Soon we arrived at a shop along the street, with a few simple red square tables and benches inside. Compared to the many places outside where people sat on the ground or had bowls on a bench, it instantly felt more upscale.
"Boss, please sit here." The women and their three followers did not complain about the simplicity of the place.
'Yang San, you don't get much monthly pay.'
"Guild Leader, we didn't have a fixed monthly salary before; we only received a portion based on the amount we collected. Now, thanks to you, we have a fixed monthly salary of one tael of silver, with the rest depending on the situation and the tasks completed. There are also extra rewards."
One tael of silver, or 1000 coins, is the value of 500 steamed buns. A family of several people could barely make ends meet.
'Okay, I understand. I'll ask the Ghost Gang Leader to give you guys a raise. Have something to eat before you go.'
"Thank you, Chief." After a while, seeing that there was nothing else to do, Yang San left.
'Su'er, do you miss home? I won't be leaving this place for a while.'
"No, Su'er got tired of staying there, so she came out on her own. She doesn't plan to go back anytime soon."
'That's good.'
Then he said to Bi Yunyan and Tu Fanghua, "Yunyan, Fanghua, you two come and eat too."
After waiting a while, everyone had finished eating. So they ate all the steamed buns, dumplings, fried dough sticks, and other dishes that were laid out on the table.
The three beauties, Bi Yunyan, Yun Su, and Tu Fanghua, were all astonished.
Yun Su's three followers were also secretly shocked. 'Her large appetite indicates fast digestion, which also means she's incredibly strong!'
At this moment, seeing that breakfast has been finished,
Bi Yunyan said, "My lord, the mansion was purchased yesterday, and I had some repairs done. It's basically ready for us to move in. Would you like to go take a look now?"
'Okay, Su'er, would you like to come along?'
'Okay, I'll go take a look too.'
"Shopkeeper, how much?" the shopkeeper, dressed in a coarse cloth short-sleeved shirt, asked in a flattering manner.
"No need, it's an honor for our shop that the Boss has come."
He paid several taels of silver directly. The shopkeeper, seeing this, dared not accept the money.
'Take it.'
The women quickly arrived at the mansion, which was estimated to occupy more than an acre.
The outer courtyard has a martial arts training ground, a two-meter-high artificial hill, a stone table, and four stools. The inner courtyard contains over a dozen rooms. In the center is a small garden where several peonies are in full bloom, vibrant and beautiful.
Yunsu looked at it and said, "Brother, this place is nice. Add some bamboo and orchids in the back."
Everyone was quite tired. "Brother, I'm going back now." Yun Su had worked hard all night for him. She went back to her place to rest first.
Bi Yunyan and Tu Fanghua went to wash up first. He Chen had already washed up and was asleep in bed.
In an instant, the door opened softly, two fragrant scents wafted in, and two silk robes were worn! The morning became restless. Two hours later, it became quiet again. Only He Chen's heavy snoring could be heard.
Another half hour passed, and I felt completely refreshed as I got out of bed. Then I gently pulled the blanket back up.
Arrived at the outer courtyard.
"Sir, the Ghost Gang Leader just came by and is waiting for you in the lobby."
The housekeeper, in her fifties, spoke with impeccable manners. It seemed she had been waiting there for quite some time.
'Okay, prepare some food for them.'
"Yes, sir."
Upon entering the hall, Gui San looked both exhausted and pleased. His clothes were still dusty. "My lord!"
