Chapter 14 Planning
Xia Fan naturally saw the change in the demeanor of the two blood servants, and he could roughly guess the specific thoughts of the two blood servants, but Xia Fan didn't mind this kind of suspicion and distrust.
Because for Xia Fan, the more the two blood servants doubted him, and when the time limit came, after he really won the gamble, the more shocking the result would be for the two blood servants.
This kind of shock is enough to make the two blood servants have a strong personality cult against him under the influence of incomprehensible and unbelievable emotions!
beckoned the two blood servants to eat breakfast together, and while Ya'er was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Fan took out the rice paper again, quickly wrote down a series of names of medicinal materials and the amount required, and handed it to Ya'er who finished cleaning up the table.
He commanded Ya'er to go to the family treasury in his name and take it.
These medicinal materials are relatively common, not rare and have a wide range of uses, basically belong to the common things of various large and small families, and he has enough authority to draw a large amount.
And the purpose of extracting this batch of medicinal materials is also very clear, Xia Fan wants to use these medicinal materials to refine a liquid for bathing.
Its effect is to be able to enhance his body from the inside out as quickly as possible, so that he will not be delayed too long at this basic level of martial arts.
His time...... There is some urgency.
Watching Ya'er leave with the rice paper, Xia Fan ordered the two blood servants to summon the director who was in charge of the Hundred Beasts Garden before, according to yesterday's request, this director should report to him today with the accounts accumulated by the Hundred Beasts Garden over the years.
It wasn't until the two blood servants also left the house that Xia Fan sat alone in the living room and fell into deep thought.
He wasn't worried about the contents of the rice paper handed to Ya'er circulating, not to mention that there were not many people in the family who paid attention to him at all, even if it was really written down by someone with a heart, it was impossible for them to prepare the same potion just from those things on the rice paper.
Raw materials are always just the basics.
The same medicinal herb may be able to exert an incomparably magical effect in the hands of an alchemist, but in the hands of others, it can only be like a weed.
Xia Fan was suddenly very glad that he had joined the black hand in his previous life.
To be the best being among the killers, the skills of killing and hiding are not enough.
The Emperor of the Killer must have the ability to disguise himself as any kind of identity at any point in time!
Xia Fan has always believed that a truly excellent killer is by no means as simple as the so-called talent, but must be the all-rounder of the king of people!
Under this premise, Xia Fan has not only learned excellent combat skills in his twenty-year career as a killer, but also learned to refine medicine inscriptions and forge!
Even including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, literature, music theory, he is proficient in everything!
Thanks to the incredible comprehension ability brought by the ring on his hand, in the process of learning these things, Xia Fan never knew what the bottleneck was.
Because of this, he can not have any panic after rework, and he behaves extremely calmly, so that he will not be helpless because of the current situation of the family.
If you have enough hole cards, you can have enough confidence.
Even Fang Cai's extremely sharp ridicule of the two blood servants was just Xia Fan's use of the topic.
Through the communication with Ya'er last night, Xia Fan has already determined the time node he is at after his reactivation, and there are only about two years left before the time when the previous family was wiped out!
This time is not short, but it is by no means long, so Xia Fan urgently needs to improve the combat power of the family itself, and in this time, he must solve all the internal factors that are unfavorable to the family as much as possible.
Naturally, the sooner you prepare, the better.
In the tragedy that had already happened in the previous life, when those mysterious enemies attacked the Xia family, in addition to sending hundreds of martial artists, they also sent three martial arts sects!
Xia Fan didn't know what the origin of those people was, he only knew that all the enemies were outsiders, and they couldn't be the local forces of Qingyang City.
Because in Qingyang City, there is only one Martial Sect, and that is the city lord himself, who represents the official power!
In such a situation, Xia Fan must tap the potential as much as possible within the family.
The Blood Servant is undoubtedly the best choice!
They themselves have a certain strength base, and their loyalty to the entire family is undoubted, and at the same time, the number of blood servants is scarce, and the entire Xia family in Qingyang City only has a total of sixty blood servants.
In addition, according to the family regulations, all the blood servants are in the hands of the current patriarch of the family, and these blood servants only obey the orders of the patriarch, that is, his father, even if their strength is abnormally improved in a short period of time, it is difficult for others to detect it, which naturally minimizes the probability of leakage.
Therefore, through these two blood servants who were sent to his side, it is the best way to influence the entire blood service group little by little, and secretly greatly improve their strength!
Just as Xia Fanwu was sorting out the thoughts in his mind, there was a knock on the door in the living room, and then the door of the house was opened from the outside, interrupting his train of thought.
Under the hostage of the two blood servants, one left and one right, the steward of the Hundred Beasts Garden staggered into the living room with some difficulty holding three thick books.
Xia Fan didn't speak, just leaned back in the chair, rested his left elbow on the arm of the chair, and supported his chin with his left hand, putting on a bored expression.
The steward of Baishouyuan was full of flattering smiles on his face, stepped forward respectfully, carefully placed the three thick accounts in his arms on the coffee table beside Xia Fan, and then honestly took a few steps back and stood with his hands down.
"Second Young Master, the accounts you want are here, from the establishment of the Hundred Beast Garden four years ago to the present, all the expenditure details are readily available, and there is absolutely no omission."
The steward bowed and said.
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the three major accounts on the side, which were half a meter thick, and casually pulled out the bottom one.
This is the thinnest of the three books, and it is obviously the latest, and after a brief look at the contents, all the records are all kinds of amount details, until the end, showing the amount spent on the last purchase, and the total cost of the Hundred Beasts Garden in the past four years.
Thirty-seven thousand five hundred taels of silver!
The average annual cost is nearly 10,000 taels of silver!
When such a number was presented in front of him, Rao is Xia Fan had already made enough psychological preparations in advance, and he still couldn't help but gasp.
Xia Fan in the previous life had never paid attention to the accounts of the Hundred Beast Garden, so he didn't have a specific concept of how much money the Hundred Beast Garden had spent, but he knew that there should be a lot, but he didn't know that there would be so much!
You must know that within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, the basic living expenses of an ordinary family of three will never exceed fifty taels of silver a year!
And a martial artist below the fifth rank, by signing a contract to hire him for a year, the cost is only between six hundred and one thousand five hundred taels.
In other words, if all this money is used to hire fifth-grade martial artists, it is enough to hire as many as twenty-five fifth-grade martial artists for a whole year!
This can at least increase the current strength of the Xia family by thirty percent!
Can ...... now In addition to spending part of this money on those fighting beasts that don't have any fart, more of it is secretly greedy for ink!
What's even more hateful is that all this money will be counted on his head!
The benefits were secretly taken away by others, but the black cauldron let him carry it...... The problem of this Hundred Beasts Garden was obviously much more serious than he had expected!
Xia Fan was too lazy to ponder the detailed accounts, and directly put the account book back on the coffee table, looked at the steward standing in front of him with his hands down expressionlessly, and said with a sneer: "Li Mingda, I always knew that you were very bold, but I really didn't expect your boldness to be so big!" Thirty-seven thousand five hundred taels? How dare you show me such a ridiculous number? River of Blood! Drag him out and hit him with a hundred boards first! After the fight, I'll interrogate him again young master, what's going on! ”
"Huh?"
The steward suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Fan in disbelief, but before he could speak, Xuehe had already agreed, and then directly grabbed his neck and carried him out of the house like a chicken.
"Second Young Master! Wronged! You...... You can't abuse lynching! All this money is for you to spend! I didn't get any benefit from it! ”
Li Mingda's voice came in from outside the house, but Xia Fan turned a deaf ear, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the accounts on the coffee table, and said to the bloody hand in front of him: "Pick out some details from here, compare them with the accounts you gave me before, and just pick some ones with a large difference." ”
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Bloody Hand agreed
