The Great Seminary

Chapter 334 It’s done
Even if a large estate of 33,300 mu has fertile land, abundant water resources, and easy crops to grow, it still requires serious management.

With tenant farmers and managers, at least two or three hundred people are needed to keep things running smoothly.

This is only possible with the use of mechanical devices like the "wooden ox and flowing horse," which are already common in the underground world but still quite expensive to use, thus greatly saving manpower in farming.

Otherwise, it would require at least a thousand people to operate.

Therefore, although the owner of Liye Manor, Deacon Liao, was arrested, many of his family members, clansmen, tenants, and servants remained in the manor.

If an ordinary person bought a estate and honestly went through the handover process, it would be incredibly troublesome.

Being driven away is the least of your worries; you could be injured, killed, or even drowned in the lake.

Since it's a lose-lose situation anyway, I might as well go crazy for a bit.

But now Zhang Guifei soars into the air, commanding wind and rain like a demon god.

They gathered up the remaining few hundred people in the village and threw them outside the farm's iron fence.

Aside from wailing and crying, and occasionally a few older, higher-ranking, or bolder people daring to utter a curse or two, no one dared to harbor the slightest ill intentions.

This is the most fundamental logic of the extraordinary world where 'great power originates from oneself'.

Regardless of whether you know who this person is or whether what they say is true, you must respect the power they demonstrate!
The area was cleared in no time.

Zhang Gui landed on the shore of the clear lake in the center of the farm under the cover of a raging storm.

He took out the 'list of titles' for the secret realm from his sleeve.

In just over a year, Zhenlong Island has seen its population grow from millions to hundreds of millions, leveraging the power of human resources and taking advantage of favorable timing and location.

The fruits that have grown here, reaching a height of thirteen zhang and covering an area of ​​thirty thousand fourty-nine mu, are all contained within this place!
"After all this hard work, we're finally going to succeed!"
According to the "Creating Secret Realms Appendix", the first sealing and release of a secret realm after its creation does not require any cost.

Moving it later will be much more troublesome.

Furthermore, the geographical environment of the "acupoint" locations within the secret realm determines the overall geographical environment of the secret realm.

The natural environment of the placement location will determine the natural environment within the 'Secret Realm'.

In other words, the 'secret realm' I set up in the underground world is neither good nor bad; it's like fertile land.

Farming yields good harvests, but there are no high-value mineral resources.

If it's 'opened up' in the future, maintaining it shouldn't be too difficult..."

With a racing heart, Zhang Gui thought to himself, then removed the 'seal' and squatted down on the muddy ground by the lake.

Whisper the incantation softly.

A moment later, the 'list' vanished into the world.

An entrance to a 'secret realm' that only he could see appeared before Zhang Gui's eyes.

“That’s it,” he murmured to himself, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

"Next, we need to build the farm that will serve as a decoy."

He took out a metal box about one foot square from his backpack.

It is indeed a wondrous object, "Tiangong Kaiwu. Tianxian. Jiashang".

After sensing it, I discovered that the entire farm area was a crimson color.

It's not even comparable to the Yellow Extreme Fertile Soil of the Promised Land of True Dragon Island, where a 'Great Suspension' could be opened in a year; it's not even as good as the 'Light Purple', which is one level below it.

This made Zhang Gui involuntarily frown.

But then he thought about it again. The 33,000 mu farm he bought was "large" only within the scope of a farm.

Zhang Gui chuckled and shook his head.
"Human nature is inherently greedy. Even though we live on air and dew and rely on the spirits of the gods, we still get upset over these trivial matters."

"Greed knows no bounds; even a snake trying to swallow an elephant can't swallow a whole mountain. Do you even have the land to build such a large county?"

Without further thought, sensing the strange object, and using the previous model, mentally sketched out the template for the future 'Wealthy Manor'. Then, using the scrap materials obtained from demolishing the old houses as raw materials, he stuffed them into the strange object box.

Let nature take its course and operate on its own, dispelling the wind and rain that filled the sky.

It was nearly dusk by then.

He wandered around his estate, enjoying the beautiful sunset over the underground world for a while.

The rented flying boat finally landed beside me.

“Old Xu, my estate is in dire need of rebuilding. Aren’t you supposed to be wise with age and shrewd with age?”

Do you know where to find some good timber, iron, and stone?

Zhang Gui stopped, gazing at the setting sun, and asked leisurely.

Old Xu jumped off the top of the flying boat, glanced at Zhang Gui, and secretly swallowed.

With a much more respectful voice than before, he bowed his head and said:
"Young Master, there is a commercial street in Zuoshi, Poyuan City, that specializes in selling building materials, and the prices are reasonable."

Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and apart from food vendors, all other businesses closed early.

We have to go choose tomorrow.

"Then let's do it tomorrow," Zhang Gui said with a smile.

"But Lao Xu, you just said I was being too polite, making people uncomfortable."

Now I have to talk to you about the same thing.

Just now, I drove the former owner out of the estate, and my methods were somewhat forceful and brutal.

But after decades of working in the city, you should understand that this kind of estate is being sold off.

Buying is buying, and getting it in hand is getting it in hand.

Without such swift and decisive action, leaving no room for compromise, we cannot achieve our goals.

If this continues, there might not be any time left.

"I understand that principle," Old Xu said with a wry smile, "but I never expected that you, young master, would be such a powerful figure who can command the wind and rain as if it were nothing!"
Judging by that imposing presence, he must be at least a fifth-grade cultivator at the 'upper-middle' level of refining his primordial spirit.

Given your age, it's entirely possible that you could achieve 'Class B Extraordinary' or even 'Grand Auspicious First Grade' in the future.

He was a top-notch figure in the eyes of the entire human race.

How could an old man like me, driving a sports car, dare to continue acting recklessly?

“My abilities aren’t as exaggerated as you think,” Zhang Gui said, feigning a melancholy expression. “The great chasm of advancing to ‘Class B Transcendent’ isn’t so easy to cross.”

There are countless examples of companies that have made rapid progress in the first two or three decades, but once they suffer setbacks and stagnation, they end up with a 'century-long lifespan'.

Forget it, why bother telling you all this?

In short, it's best if we keep things as they are.

"Yes, yes." Old Xu nodded dryly, hesitated for a moment, and then actually told the truth: "Young Master told me not to be polite, so I'll just say a few impolite words."

Even if you used magic to demolish all the hundreds of houses, big and small, in order to quickly seize the estate, it would still be a pity.

To rebuild it to the same size as before, it would cost tens of thousands more…

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a metal figure flash past him, which startled him.

He shut his mouth.

It turns out that the creation of the universe has evolved from a metal box into a large metal house.

Several metal craftsmen emerged from inside and began clearing away the broken walls and ruins in the manor.
