Chapter 135: The Miao Family
In order to facilitate the crossing, Rong Yuanhang's residence was in the same building in Xishan with Zixing and Xiao Yufeng. The house has three floors and covers a small area, only fifty or sixty square meters. On the ground floor is the lobby and a utility room for temporary fruit stacking. The second floor is a small hall with two bedrooms and a small hall, and the same is true for the layout of the third floor. Rong Yuanhang lives on the third floor, and Zixing and Xiao Yufeng's bedrooms are on the second floor.
In the middle of the night, Rong Yuanhang had already finished bathing and changed into a clean silk Hanfu, and was sitting in the living room on the second floor waiting boredly. More than an hour had passed before Zixing came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a dressing gown, her hair was still wet and undried, and a strong scent of shampoo wafted through the space.
"Uncle Shi, have you washed it? Let's go over, shall we? Rong Yuanhang saw her walk out, and quickly stood up and said.
His sullen appearance just now, Zixing caught a glimpse of it at a glance. She smiled and said, "Yuanhang, it's better to go like this: since the destination has arrived, I don't need to go with you now, besides, it's not convenient for me to see outsiders, wait for you to settle down and settle down, and then let's go there together." …… If there's anything, you can come back to me at any time, it's a step away anyway. ”
"So? It's okay, but the senior sister hasn't come back yet, won't it be inconvenient for you to be here alone? Rong Yuanhang asked a little worriedly.
"What's inconvenient? Uncle, I'm not a child. Zixing urged him: "You go over, I'll be here alone." Besides, your mother, they will almost be back at dawn. ”
"Oh, okay, then Uncle I'm leaving."
Zixing instructed him a few more words, and then Rong Yuanhang summoned the gate of the plane and returned to the South Zhanbu Continent of the Otherworld.
……
The sky was still bright, and Ba Dayong and Ba Zhucai, father and son, came to knock on the door.
"Young Master Rong, it's not too early. Let's hit the road, shall we? Seeing that Rong Yuanhang opened the gatehouse, he said.
"So early?" In fact, Rong Yuanhang crossed back. I just fell asleep. He looked at the expensive Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, the time was just after 4:50, he didn't know if the time here was still synchronized with the main plane world, but he could see from the sky, it was still the middle of the night, right?
Ba Dayong said a little embarrassedly: "It's not early, we have to start work at the beginning of the day." Otherwise, wages will be deducted. ”
Rong Yuanhang is not too difficult for others, after all, he is begging people to do things. So I went back to the room and got the travel bag, and now my face has not been washed, and my teeth have not been soaked, but in order to respect people and not let him wait for a long time, he has no choice but to give up.
"Uncle Ba, let's go." Rong Yuanhang smiled at the father and son.
"Hey, that ...... Young Master Rong, where are your relatives? "Ba Zhu has only seen Purple Star since last night. Her peerless face was deeply imprinted in his heart, and at this time, he unconsciously searched for Zixing's figure. Sister Ba Qingqing's boudoir is so big, you can see through it at a glance, but you don't see the armless beauty.
"By the way, what about your lady?" At this time, Ba Dayong also asked curiously.
"She's not ......" Rong Yuanhang just wanted to deny that Zixing was not his wife, but thinking about it, how could he live in the same room if he wasn't his wife? So he said vaguely: "Oh, she left last night in a hurry, and saw that you all slept." I'm too embarrassed to bother, so it's too late to say goodbye to you...... That's right. I have a servant waiting outside. ”
"Servant?" Ba Dayong is very strange, last night it was obviously just the couple of them, why did the lady change to a servant today?
The 'servant' Rong Yuanhang refers to is actually Cailong, and his uncle Zixing is not around, so for the sake of safety, he summoned Cailong out overnight, and he can be a bodyguard. Second, you can be called by an entourage.
Outside the door, Rong Yuanhang briefly introduced Cailong to the father and son. Cailong has the pride of a divine beast, except for Rong Yuanhang, the master, basically ignoring everyone else, he said: "Master. Give me the bag. ”
Rong Yuanhang handed him Li Xingbao and asked, "Uncle Ba, how far is the village chief's house?" ”
Ba Dayong replied: "It's not far, only five or six miles of land, but from here, all the roads are mountainous. …… Moreover, Childe, I don't know if Master Miao is not at home, but the eldest young master must be there, because he fought with someone in the town a while ago, and was punished by the master for a month of grounding, and now he is not allowed to leave the house. ”
"Hehe," Rong Yuanhang smiled lightly, "Let's go, let's talk when we get there." ”
White Sand Beach is actually a mountain basin, which can be seen from the air when you come: surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the sea on one side, forming a natural barrier. In the middle, there are pine forests, coconut groves, and a two-kilometer coastline of golden sandy beaches. In this mountain basin, there are only a few families living in it, except for the Ba Dayong family, and a few others are located at the foot of the mountain.
However, Gaoliu Village covers a wide area, covering a radius of 20 miles, and most of the population of the village are outsiders, living together with the local aborigines, and it is a small force formed by geographical huddles. And the Miao family, who is the ruler of this place, has the absolute right to speak.
Rong Yuanhang crossed a mountain with Ba Dayong father and son, and walked along the coastline to the east, and it didn't take long to see a front house and a factory, covering an area of antique buildings.
The mansion is located on a protruding headland, built on a rock platform, with a natural topography and a tall stone wall that extends out into the sea. On the other side of the coast, the sail masts of several seagoing ships could be faintly seen.
"Young Master Rong, that place is the home of the village chief Miao." Ba Dayong pointed to the house and said.
The topography here is very special, there are rolling mountains everywhere, Rong Yuanhang saw that around the mansion are rows of houses built against the mountains, and the only passage at the entrance of the village is in the mouth of the mountain between the two mountains in the distance.
Ba Dayong father and son are both shipyard craftsmen, and after he took Rong Yuanhang to meet the housekeeper of the Miao family, the father and son went back to work in the backyard shipyard. At this moment, in the hall of the Miao family, Rong Yuanhang is talking with the master here.
The village head, Miao Jincheng, is a man in his sixties, he wears a cloth towel on his head, wears a brocade robe, sits on his lap, does not smile, looks quite majestic, he sees Rong Yuanhang's fine skin and tender meat. Dressed as a son-in-law, it seems to be a rich family, but he doesn't dare to underestimate it.
"Young Master Rong, do you want to buy that white sand beach?" Miao Jincheng's eyes were full of doubts, and he wondered what was available in that remote place?
A maximum of one batch of coconuts is harvested each year. There he grows 4,000 coconut trees in his own house, and the annual yield of each tree is 80. Ba Dayong and several other families were lined up there to guard the forest.
Every year, after the coconuts are ripe, he will send people to pick them by hand and gather them, and then transport them to the big wharf in Zanglong Town by sea to sell, but the economic benefits of the coconuts are not high, and the price of the fruits drops during the peak season, and sometimes there is a loss of transportation costs.
Rong Yuanhang smiled and nodded, "Hmm." Don't hide it from the village chief, the kid saw that the wind and shadow there were beautiful, the climate was cool and pleasant, and he planned to buy it to build a house for himself. …… What do you think? I wonder if the village chief is willing to cut his love? The price is negotiable. ”
"You bought it?" The more Miao Jincheng listens, the more strange it is, the white sand beach is the most remote area, all surrounded by mountains, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and the distance of several miles has to go over the mountains and mountains, and walk for half a day.
"Not bad." Rong Yuanhang replied lightly.
"Shhhh This ......" Miao Jincheng frowned and thought about it in his heart for a long time, and finally said: "If you really want to buy this Rong Gongzi." Four thousand taels of silver! What do you think? 4,000 taels of silver, 12,000 acres of land on the entire white sand beach, plus 4,000 masson pines and 1,000 coconut trees there, all yours! ”
This price is quite honest, Rong Yuanhang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Deal!" ”
Four thousand taels of silver, you don't need to go back to modern times to move, earlier in the Great Desert of the Heavenly Light Realm. A single blue crystal coin obtained from a few soldiers can be worth four thousand five hundred taels of silver.
There was no need for a guarantor, and a land sale contract was signed with Miao Jincheng on the spot. In the end, the other party still had five hundred taels of silver tickets for redemption. These silver tickets are the royal money bank silver tickets of the Tianshou Free Principality, according to his words. This 100,000-mile radius and dozens of countries can basically be used. Rong Yuanhang did not doubt it, so he put away the silver ticket.
Miao Jincheng received four thousand taels of silver, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable, and he suddenly said: "By the way, Young Master Rong, there are still six villagers in Baisha, about 20 people, they were originally my Miao family's private slaves, I will give them to you together, if you don't need them, I will call them back to make another arrangement." ”
"Ba Dayong's family is your family's private slaves?" The population of these families mentioned by Miao Jincheng includes the Ba family, and Rong Yuanhang feels a little weird.
"You say it's useful?" Miao Jincheng tried to recall it for a while, and replied: "This is not true, their father and son are the long-term workers in my shipyard, and in addition to their family, the other six families living at the foot of Baisha Mountain are all my domestic slaves. However, the house of the Ba Dayong family belongs to my Miao family, but I just borrow them to live in temporarily. Of course, the land is yours now. ”
"Oh, I see." Rong Yuanhang just needed manpower, thought for a while and said, "Master Miao, you don't have to make another arrangement." The residents in the white sand beach, I raised it! ”
"Well, I'll ask the butler to go to the white sand beach and tell them about the situation later, and I'll give you their slave deeds by the way." Miao Jincheng said it lightly, it seems that these six families are livestock, and they were given to Rong Yuanhang casually. Then he added, "...... Eh, Rong Gongzi, it's not very convenient for you to get in and out there, do you want to order a small boat in my small factory? ”
"Oh?" Rong Wuhang hesitated, living by the sea, he had to get a boat to spare, but now the beach has been bought, but the house has to be rebuilt, and then the uncle and sister, as well as the mother, they have to come to live, so far there is no house yet, so the boat will not be bought first. So he said, "Let's talk about this later." Mr. Miao, do you have the manpower to build a house? Introduce to us? ”
Miao Jincheng's heart moved: "How big of a house does Young Master Rong plan to build?" How much does it cost? ”
"This ...... I have to discuss it with my family," Rong Yuanhang paused and said, "However, as long as the house is comfortable and the house is built steadily, the price is secondary." ”
Miao Jincheng hurriedly said: "Miao Gongzi, now that it is winter, there is little business in my factory, and a large group of workers still have to be raised in vain." However, I have thirty-four craftsmen here, including the carpenter, the tent maker, the bamboo maker, the ropeman, the boat carpenter, the blacksmith, and so on, all of whom are good at building houses. Why don't you let them help? However, the money for the work will be yours. ”
……
It didn't matter who built the house, Rong Yuanhang casually agreed. By the way, I also visited the small shipyard of the Miao family, where there is a natural deep-water wharf, which can build shallow water ships below 200 materials.
This Miaojia shipyard is not only engaged in shipbuilding business, but also engaged in the business of dismantling, refitting and improving old ships. The area inside the shipyard is huge. Old ropes, putty, tung oil, iron anchors, fast cables, anvils, nail blanks, canopies, water bases, bamboo tiles, reed mats and other sundries can be used everywhere. In the other ship's cargo hold, there are many old ship's planks stacked like a mountain. There are tree species, camphor, elm, acacia, bin and other wood species.
However, what attracted Rong Yuanhang's attention was that there were piles of old wood such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, and ebony, which were obviously not suitable for ship materials. When asked, it turned out to be a part of the shipyard.
Rong Yuanhang estimates that if these old pears, red sandalwood and other old trees can be brought back to the main plane for sale. At least you can buy it for a sky-high price! Hundreds of tons of timber can be sold for more than a billion at any time!
"Roaring ——!"
Suddenly, a tiger roared and woke up Rong Yuanhang, who was talking to Ba Dayong. When I turned my head, it turned out to be a young man dressed as a boy, riding a colorful tiger out of a corner of the shipyard square.
This big tiger is different from ordinary tigers, if the body length is three or four meters, the limbs are very thick, and the tiger has two long tusks on the snout, like a scimitar, it looks very powerful. But it is also different from the little thunder tiger of the little daughter-in-law Xiao Yufeng. Because there are no wings on the body.
"Master, this is a saber-toothed tiger, a first-level spirit beast." Cailong reminded him at the right time.
Only a first-level spirit beast? Rong Yuanhang suddenly lost interest. His own crested mountain eagle is a tenth-level spirit beast! The colorful dragon is even more level thirteen, where can the spirit beasts of this level be eye-catching now?
When Ba Dayong saw the young man riding a saber-toothed tiger coming, he did not panic, but bowed down and saluted: "Big young master! ”
The young man didn't look at him, but stared at Rong Yuanhang and Cailong, and asked arrogantly, "Hey." You two, are you very raw? Where did it come from? ”
At this time, Miao Jincheng was not around. Instead, Ba Dayong accompanied Rong Yuanhang with another craftsman to talk about building a house. Ba Dayong hurriedly said: "Young Master, this Young Master Rong, he is here to find the master." ”
Rong Yuanhang guessed that the other party might be Miao Jinxiu's son, so he arched his hand with a smile: "In Xia Rong Yuanhang, I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" ”
Ba Dayong replied: "Young Master Rong, this is the eldest young master of my owner......"
"Oops, hey....... Get out of the way," the young man rode the toothed sword tiger slowly to Yuanhang and the others, and he glanced sideways and said, "Is this your right to speak?" ”
As soon as Ba Dayong was drunk by him, he suddenly smiled wryly, and his appearance was a little flattering. Only then did the young man riding the tiger arrogantly turn his face to look at Rong Yuanhang and Cailong.
"Okay. Seeing my big bully is still so calm? The young man was a little curious, and suddenly shouted: "Pretend!" The next sentence suddenly came out very loudly. I wanted to scare the other party, but Rong Yuanhang and Cailong still didn't move.
"Oops, a little capable! Hahaha......" The young man suddenly laughed, laughed for a while and stopped and then asked: "My name is Miao Renfeng, brother, where are you messing around, have you visited the dock?" ”
"Your name is Miao Renfeng?" Rong Yuanhang's eyes widened and he almost squirted, and blurted out: "Do you know Hu Yidao?" ”
"Hu Yidao?" The man who called himself Miao Renfeng thought about it seriously for a while, and finally frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, it seems to be very powerful?" Is it famous? ”
Rong Yuanhang smiled, feeling that this Miao Renfeng was actually not malicious, but his demeanor was a little ...... Outspoken?
Miao Renfeng is a self-acquaintance, he saw Rong Yuanhang smiling brightly, and his heart suddenly felt good. looked at Cailong, and when he saw that the other party ignored him, he didn't care. Jumped off the tiger's back, patted its huge head and said, "Dabawang, while you play, I'll talk to this Rong brother." ”
The saber-toothed tiger snorted and shook his head and left.
"Hehe, Brother Rong, how is my big overlord?" Miao Renfeng's eyes were full of joy when he looked at the saber-toothed tiger, and his expression seemed to be showing off.
"Not bad!" Rong Yuanhang nodded and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”
Miao Renfeng said with satisfaction: "Of course it's Hidden Dragon Town, I have three thousand four hundred taels of gold, and I won't sell it if I don't have one!" Grandma is a bear, but my old man's flesh hurts to death...... Decades of savings are wiped out all at once, haha, but I love it! Value! My overlord won't change any amount of gold! ”
He muttered to himself, and then asked, "Brother Rong, are you here to buy a boat at my house?" ”
"No, I'm here to buy land from your family." Rong Yuanhang answered truthfully.
Miao Renfeng sighed: "My Miao family has a lot of land, but it can't be compared with Hidden Dragon Town, it's not valuable." Bought it? My old man didn't cheat you for your money, did he? ”
Rong Yuanhang couldn't cry or laugh: "It's not a pit." ”
"Oh, that's good!" Miao Renfeng pursed his lips, patted Rong Yuanhang's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I invite you to drink, you can suffocate bird eggs in this ravine, it's rare for me to meet Brother Rong, haha, we will be friends in the future!" By the way, let you meet my brother's concubine, she cooks very good dishes......" (To be continued......)
