The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 39:38: Great harvest, full stomach

Xuanzhen concept,
In the backyard, in Chu Zhou's room.

Twenty or thirty boxes of various sizes were already filled inside and outside the house. Chu Zhou strolled among them, opening them one by one.

Then he saw neatly stacked gold bars, silver ingots, piles of copper coins, exquisite headdresses, jade hairpins, pearls, agates, corals and jadeite.

There are also silky silks, exquisite porcelain, century-old ginseng, rare precious medicines, and house deeds, land deeds, and field deeds.

There are also books of all kinds, full of books, neatly stacked in boxes.

On the side, Wei Jinkui sipped his tea and kept talking: "Here are 300 taels of gold, 1,500 taels of silver, and 10,000 large coins.

There are a total of 103 pieces of various head ornaments, jewelry, earrings, jade bracelets, and hairpins. It is difficult to determine the value, but it can be sold for about 2,000 to 3,000 taels.

These are found by experts, and the prices are always fluctuating.

Of course, if you want to sell it in the future, I can help you find the Zhou family who specializes in headwear and jewelry."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the finest silks, fabrics, porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the value of these things is even harder to measure. I didn't take much from you, but instead exchanged them for some precious medicinal herbs."

As he spoke, he pointed at a few of the boxes and said, "Look over there, those boxes are full of all kinds of ginseng, deer antlers, tiger bones, ganoderma lucidum, ginseng antlers and other major medicines. They are all processed and are most suitable for you to mix medicines when practicing martial arts. The effect is definitely good."

"Good, good, good!"

Chu Zhou looked up and saw four or five boxes filled with many bottles and jars, as well as various wooden boxes and cushions. They were all various rare and powerful medicines, and they had all been processed.

These are all priceless treasures, and one can even say that they cannot be bought just by having money.

Wei Jinkui looked up at Chu Zhou, and seeing that his face was still calm, he couldn't help but stand up.

He walked to the side again, took out a small box from a large box, and pulled Chu Zhou to the table again. He selected the items one by one and said, "Look at these. They are all various land deeds, house deeds, slave deeds, and business deeds."

"I thought your Xuanzhen Temple would also need a base in the city, so I asked for a secluded three-story house. It was originally used by the eldest son of the Xue family to keep a mistress, so the decoration expenses are not bad.

If you stay overnight in Baisha City or have friends visiting, you can stay here.

Of course, all the servants, maids, cooks and housekeepers in the house were all there, and they had signed life contracts.

You just need to send someone to screen them, keep the ones you want, and sell the ones you don’t want.”

After a pause, he continued, "However, I don't want any of the other properties. It's useless for your Xuanzhen Temple to have so many houses, so I exchanged them for the business deeds and land deeds of the shops.

According to your requirements, the shops chosen were all grain shops, silk shops and garment shops, all of which are low-profit industries, so no one would compete with you.

You don’t know, those banks and pawnshops were robbed like crazy.”

“Of course, if we give in on this aspect, we have to take it back in other aspects.

Therefore, I negotiated with other families and exchanged these land deeds for another 500 acres of top-quality farmland for you.

Moreover, the location is connected to the fertile fields in front of your Xuanzhen Temple, both in the upper reaches of the Baisha River."

Chu Zhou was stunned. He couldn't help but take the dozen deeds and looked at them again and again: "Wow, another 500 acres!"

Seeing that Chu Zhou finally "broke through the defense", Wei Jinkui smiled somewhat proudly: "These five hundred acres, plus the five hundred acres you already have, that's a thousand acres of fertile land.

With these, your Xuanzhen Temple has laid the foundation for inheritance from generation to generation."

"well!"

Chu Zhou couldn't help but bow and salute: "Thank you, Uncle Wei, for helping me!"

“Don’t be so quick to thank me, I also have to tell you about the bad things, for example, you should have three beauties, ten maids, and a hundred slaves, but I rejected them all.

As for slaves and maids, you have to choose them according to your needs. If they are really not enough, it is best to go to the pawnshop to buy them yourself. Even if what you buy is sold by the Xue family, you still have to follow this process.

As for beauties, you young people shouldn’t be obsessed with beauty, I rejected them all!"

At this point, Wei Jinkui looked at Chu Zhou and said, "My dear nephew, you won't blame me, right?"

Chu Zhou waved his hand: "This is a Taoist temple. It is not appropriate to keep beauties here."

Wei Jinkui continued, "Of course, if you don't want these, I have naturally secured some good things for my nephew, a total of six horses and five donkey carts, all of which have been brought here.

After all, your Xuanzhen Temple is a sect, so you still have to learn how to ride a horse. Otherwise, it will be hard to walk around without a horse and relying on your own two legs."

"Uncle is really thoughtful!"

What else could Chu Zhou say? This person was truly standing from the perspective of Xuanzhen Temple and had considered everything that could be considered.

However, after putting down the contract, Chu Zhou walked to the wooden box containing the books and asked, "Uncle, what are these?"

"Books. They are all various books collected by the Xue family, including classics, history, literature, sage writings, medical books, travel notes, biographies, and stories. There are a total of 392 books."

"Do you have any martial arts secrets?"

"Yes, there are 18 complete inferior techniques, five low-grade techniques, and one medium-grade technique. However, there is only an internal organ training technique, and no internal energy for the Meridian Opening Realm."

As if remembering something, he added: “Of course, these are all handwritten copies.

Not only you, but also all the big forces here who participated in the division of the Xue family can make a copy. As for the originals, they are all in the government office." "Ha, so generous?"

"It's not that the government is generous, but no force would give up such an opportunity to improve their foundation!"

After a pause, Wei Jingkui explained: "Knowledge is different from other things. It is not unique. After copying, there are many copies.
But due to the limitations of qualifications, understanding and talent, how much you can learn and how much you can understand depends on the individual.

Therefore, throughout the ages, books have been controlled and are also a symbol of a family's heritage.

To be honest, if you hadn't killed Xue Minghua, leaving the Xue family leaderless, and killed that half-step martial artist, they would have been left without any military support.

We want to obtain these books in their entirety, but it is not easy.”

"I see!"

Standing among the boxes, Chu Zhou looked around and suddenly felt a little emotional. He said, "This is one-tenth of the accumulation of a century-old family. It's really a bit scary."

Wei Jinkui said: "Xue Minghua is a man who knows how to scheme for personal gain. Most of these were done when he was in power. Otherwise, how could so many unjust, false and wrong cases emerge when the Xue family fell?"

Chu Zhou asked again: "Can you tell me how it is divided?"

Wei Jinkui hesitated for a moment, then said, "You took one-tenth, my Iron Spear Martial Arts School took one-tenth, and the County Master took four-tenths, and the remaining four were divided among other families and martial arts schools.

Of course, the actual result is slightly different, but it’s almost there.”

Chu Zhou silently calculated: "If you calculate it this way, my one-tenth is no less than 20,000 taels of silver, and the Xue family's resources should be as much as 200,000 taels.

Our county master can earn 80,000 taels at a time. It is really like not opening a business for three years, but having a good life for three years after opening it!"

Wei Jinkui shook his head and said, "It's not as much as you think. The county magistrate also needs to bribe his superiors, so, let's say 50,000 taels. He should have a net profit of 50,000 taels.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that our county lord has opened up the situation with this.

In the past, people could not ask him for help when they had problems, but now, he still has a long way to go to collect money!"

Chu Zhou looked around at the wealth again and exclaimed, "No wonder, no wonder our county lord is willing to part with such a huge fortune.

I thought that even if there were any, they would only be a few small things. From this point of view, this county lord is quite good. "

"Pfft!"

Wei Jinkui, who was drinking tea, burst out laughing. He lowered his head slightly and said, "My dear nephew, don't overestimate the integrity of our county lord. It's not that he doesn't want to be greedy, but he doesn't dare to be greedy.

There are rules for this kind of thing.

If he dares to go too far, once the others join forces, even if he is a seventh-rank official, he will never be able to survive in Baisha City.

Officials like them value reputation the most, whether in official circles or in private."

Glancing at the sky, Wei Jinkui felt that he had said enough, and said, "Okay, the things are all here, and the Xue family's matter is over. You can take your time to count them here. I'll go see how Fang Jie is doing with his martial arts training!"

"It's at the Yanwuping in the back mountain. Uncle will go there to test you. I won't let you down."

"That!"

Wei Jinkui strode away, leaving Chu Zhou standing there. But before he could express his feelings, more footsteps were heard. It was Fan Zhong coming from the front door.

He walked in a hurry, but when he entered the yard, he was dazzled by the gold, silver and jewels all over the yard. He was not awakened until Chu Zhou waved to him.

After taking three or two steps closer, he said at a loss: "Master, Master, these are all for us?"

Without Wei Jinkui around, Chu Zhou no longer suppressed his emotions. He laughed out loud, with a hint of pride and joy in his tone.

"This is called killing people and setting fire to the gold belt. We in Xuanzhen Temple have eaten our fill all at once!"

"Uncle Fan, do you think our warehouse is a little small? Can it hold all the space? Do we need to add a new building?"

"If the Master thinks it is necessary, I will arrange it right away!"

"Oh, forget it, let's talk about it later. Don't show off your wealth. Keep a low profile. Keep a low profile.

Okay, Uncle Fan, find a few people to clean up this place and register it so that it will be easier to use later."

"Yes, Master!"

Fan Zhong responded like this, and finally remembered why he came. He hurriedly said, "Master, Mr. Zou Wu from the Sihai Gang is visiting. I have already welcomed him to the living room."

"Zou Wu from the Four Seas Gang, what is he doing here? But it doesn't matter. I would like to meet him."

As Chu Zhou said this, he started walking towards the front yard. He was not walking fast, but when he stepped out of the backyard, he paused and stood there in a daze.

Because, a piece of information flashed through his mind!

[Main mission one, establishing a sect, has been completed! ]

[Rewards have been issued, please check for yourself! ]

At this moment, Chu Zhou's mouth corners could no longer be suppressed and formed a perfect arc!
　New book, please support!
