The area of the valley in front of you is very large, not so much a valley, but a delicate gourd mouth basin, looking at the past from a distance, the surrounding cliffs are towering into the clouds, birds do not enter, completely self-contained world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The valley is cut off by nature, and there are many wooden houses built in a smaller inner valley inside, and there are some cattle and sheep on the surrounding meadows, and some fields have been cultivated around it, on which grain is grown, and women can be seen walking in it from time to time.

And in the outer valley, there are many people in black clothes practicing martial arts there, and the sound of shouting is blocked by the surrounding cliffs, and there is not a trace of it, if it were not for being in the dark valley at this time, Xue Rou would not have imagined that there would be so many people hiding here, let alone that there is such a large hinterland in this valley, which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people without being too crowded at all.

"How did this place come to be?"

Xue Rou exclaimed, obviously such a narrow entrance, who would have thought that there was something inside, this place can be called a paradise, as long as the entrance is closed, it can be separated from the world and will not be disturbed by anyone, and the area in this valley is not a problem even if it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there are those cliffs and cliffs around, as well as the natural barrier formed by the poisonous forest swamp outside the stone wall, if it is a time of war, as long as the food is enough, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they will not want to break through here.

Rong Jing said lightly when he heard this: "This should be a place of escape for some people in the previous dynasty, and this place has been deserted for a long time when I came. ”

Xue Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at the black-clothed men below who were sweating and resolute and said, "So you turned this place into a training place?" ”

Rong Jing nodded, "It's not a military training, it was just to cultivate some people so I adopted some orphans for training, and later after Shen Yanling began to collect Jiang Qi's remnants, there were more and more people, and they asked for money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, I couldn't raise them in vain, it just so happened that this place was spacious enough, so I asked Dark Three to bring all the strong men and school-age children in it into the Dark Valley to train with the previous people, and some of them have been sent out of the Dark Valley and distributed to various places." ”

Xue Rou heard this, so she took a closer look at the people below, and sure enough, she found that some of them looked slightly different from others, but most of them were already similar to the Southern Chu people, especially those children, who looked almost no different from the Southern Chu people, Xue Rou didn't think it was strange that Jiang Qi had been destroyed for more than 20 years, even if Jiang Qi people were still alive, they must only be mixed among the Chu people, many of them were married to the Chu people, and after a long time, they were naturally assimilated, and the children born naturally became more and more like the Chu people.

However, she also understood at this time why the hundreds of people in Jiangqi Village were all old and weak, women and children, and there were no half adult strong men, but it turned out that those who were suitable for war had already been included in the dark valley training by Rong Jing.

Thinking of this, Xue Rou raised her head and asked, "How many troops do you have in your hands now?" ”

Rong Jing glanced back lightly, and Mo Yunfei, who was originally standing behind the two of them, hurriedly stepped forward and replied when he saw this: "Back to Miss Xue, there are three thousand elites and six hundred masters in the Dark Valley, and there are about six or seven hundred people sent to perform tasks outside the valley, in addition, there are some peripheral organizations in the Dark Valley, and if you need manpower in a special period, you can also transfer 25,000 people from all over the world. ”

After Mo Yunfei finished speaking, he waited for Xue Rou to show a look of surprise, after all, it was enough to shock where so many troops were placed, I am afraid that Emperor Chu was no exception, but he waited for a long time but did not see Xue Rou have a half different color, she didn't seem to care about those troops at all, she just thought about it and frowned directly and asked.

"How much silver is there in that valley, and can the valley have other income besides the income of the royal mansion?"

Mo Yunfei's face was slightly stunned, and the color on his face instantly turned into a wry smile.

The future princess really hit the nail on the head, and immediately asked about the key points of the dark valley, and he said with a little bitterness: "There are less than 100,000 taels in the valley, most of the people in the dark valley are martial artists, they are good but not good at business, and the commercial houses around the country have been losing money all these years, all relying on the support of the prince." ”

Xue Rou's face was clear when she heard this, no wonder the money of King Ling's Mansion was drained, and even the silver money that Rong Jing had obtained from the imperial treasury of the Zhou State was not half a cent left.

There are 30,000 people in Rong Jing's hands who have combat power alone, and the daily expenses for eating and drinking are not a small amount, not to mention that in addition to these people, he also has to support those remnants of Jiang Qi Kingdom who were collected by Shen Yanling, and the training of troops is not ordinary, and the cost of training is even greater, and the people who go out of the dark valley do not know how to do business at all, and even lose money every year, it is a miracle that Rong Jing can only rely on the income of King Ling's Mansion to support the dark valley for so many years.

She turned her head to look at Rong Jing and said, "No wonder you asked me to come to Nanchu in the first place." ”

I'm afraid that Rong Jing is not only interested in her strategy, but also the wealth of Ning's firm, right?

Rong Jing obviously understood the meaning of Xue Rou's words, and said with a serious expression: "It was the beginning, even if you don't have anything now, you are still Rourou." When he first met Xue Rou and interacted with her, he may not have a reason for her generosity, when he knew that she was the Ning family, he did move the Ning family's mind, after all, the wealth of the Ning family is enough to make anyone covet, but then with the passage of time, the relationship between him and Xue Rou is no longer a simple connection of interests, and now even if Xue Rou has nothing to do with the Ning family, even if she has nothing, he will never let her go.

Xue Rou chuckled when she heard this: "I know, but now we will solve the problem of silver money first, who is in charge of silver money in this dark valley?" ”

"Back girl, it's a subordinate." Su Yu took a step forward.

Xue Rou looked at Rong Jing and didn't make a sound, but Rong Jing understood what she meant, he turned his head to look at Su Yu and said, "You transfer the matter of the valley to Mo Yunfei today, return to Beijing with us in the evening, and follow Rourou from now on, her words are the words of this king, understand?" ”

Of course, Rong Jing didn't think that Xue Rou would teach Su Yu personally, but Qin Xi beside her is a business genius, she is in charge of the huge Ning firm, and she follows Xue Rou every day to run around the entire business house but has never had a mess, it is enough to know her ability, if she takes Su Yu with her, even if Su Yu only learns Qin Xi's three things, it is enough to make Dark Valley take care of her own profits and losses, and she will no longer have to drag down Ling Wangfu.

What's more, although Su Yu's kung fu is not as good as Qin Yan's, after all, he is familiar with Nan Chu, and Qin Xi has not been by Xue Rou's side all the time, although Qin Yan's martial arts are high-natured, he is not cautious enough, if Su Yu, who has a keen mind, follows Xue Rou's side to protect him, it can also make Xue Rou safer.

"Yes, lord."

Although Su Yu didn't understand that Rong Jing would send her to Xue Rou's side for peace, she didn't ask much and directly responded. (To be continued.) )
