The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 10 Preparing to Enter Beijing
After accepting Xiangling, the people in the mountain village began to pack up and prepare to set off for the capital.

Before finally choosing a town to start his career as a gentry, Zhan Ershisi often wandered around with his men, changing places after doing a few jobs, so the old people in the mountain village were no strangers to migration.

At Zhan 24's command, everyone in the village began to pack up their things, load them into the cars, and start to leave one after another, heading to the location selected by Zhan 24 in advance to rebuild the village.

However, except for Manager Wu Sihai and other close confidants, the ordinary people in the village had no idea that the situation this time was different from before.

Zhan Ershisi planned to go to the capital, so it was impossible for him to take all these people with him. Besides, someone had to look after the Xue family's original servants and servants. So he only brought those who were trustworthy and kept their mouths shut. However, he could not give up his own roots, so it was necessary to let these people take root near the capital.

The public security near the capital can only be said to be relatively good, but it cannot be said that there are no bandits. Miaoyu in the book was abducted by bandits.

Of course, it is hard to say whether those who dare to openly rob in the capital and enter the Grand View Garden to abduct people are real thieves.

But no matter whether he is a real thief or a fake thief, it is certain that there are some gangsters in the capital.

However, as a time traveler, Zhan Ershisi deeply understood one truth: there is only one reason why all the gangs cannot be eradicated, and that is the collusion between officials and gangsters.

In a place like the capital of Qing Kingdom, all the vibrant social groups are the white gloves of the powerful and wealthy.

Since they are white gloves, if others can wear them, then of course Master Zhan can wear them too.

Since he was planning to seize the Ning and Rong mansions, he could no longer rob people as he had done in the past. It was too petty. If he was going to do something, he should just do something big.

He planned to place these men near the capital, and have them behave themselves and pay taxes as required on weekdays. He would not have to worry about being wiped out by local authorities. When they were needed to do something, he would pull them out to work in distant places, and after they were done, they would disperse and go home separately, and no one would notice anything wrong.

Anyway, Master Zhan has a lot of money now, so he is not afraid of not being able to support this group of people. Xiangling is out of the control of the Xue family, no longer doing this and that like a maid all day long, and is spoiled by her own master, so she has shown the mentality of a little girl again and has become more lively.

Zhan Ershisi also promised her that he would let the Xue family send a message to the Zhen family so that she could reunite with her family. She became more grateful to her master and ran around in the village, helping to pack and load each family's luggage.

Such a big village was deserted within three or five days, leaving only an empty village.

As the saying goes, a poor home is worth a fortune. Ordinary people are very frugal in their lives and would even like to take the door with them when they move.

But moving in this mountain village is different. Those bottles, jars, pots, pans, and utensils can be thrown away without any hesitation and left in the village.

Baochai had also seen how the poor people in the Chamber of Commerce behaved. Now, seeing how generous Mr. Zhan was, she became more and more convinced that he was an official.

What she didn't know was that Zhan Ershi never set fire to the village every time he moved. After all, he might come back in a few years and he might still need him then, so he might as well use it as a backup place to stay.

As for what each family needs, after arriving at the new place, the people in the village will pay for the supplies and everyone will buy them together, so that the family will never suffer any loss.

After all the outsiders had left, Zhan Ershisi gathered the remaining people together and began to assign roles.

After all the roles were assigned, Zhan Ershisi pulled out the cars that had been seized from the Xue family, had everyone get in, and started heading towards the capital.
