"Of course." Li Yicong nodded happily, and what he was thinking about was the pretty appearance of fennel.

Sun Chen gritted his teeth, people who fall in love are idiots, and they don't have the same knowledge as him.

……

After the first anniversary of my grandmother, my uncle set a date for the two of them, and Li Yicong happily married fennel into the house.

Seeing that fennel can be happy, Sun Chen felt very relieved, but he also felt a lot of emotion. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be going farther and farther along the road of an older youth, and even with the second girl, he seemed to have been led crooked by himself.

Staying here in Zhuojun, he will be subjected to all kinds of such stimuli all day long, thinking of the second child that Da Zhuang is about to be born, and then thinking about the swallow who is about the same age as the second girl and is already pregnant, he suddenly found that he and the two brothers and sisters of the second girl seem to be a little out of place here.

Leaving all the business to his uncle to help take care of him, Sun Chen took the second girl, carrying the 50,000 taels of silver tickets he had saved in the past few years, plus a large bag and a small bag, and followed Liu Mingxuan on the journey to Nanjun.

Shen Bo's family and the slaves they bought before this were all left in Youlan County by him to help his uncles manage all the industries in Youlan County. Anyway, there are people who sell themselves into slavery everywhere, and it is more convenient to buy them when you get there, rather than taking them on a long journey.

Some time ago, he heard Liu Mingxuan mention that there is a barren mountain in Qingming County, Nanjun, which covers an area of more than 400 acres, and wants to be sold to the outside world. Knowing the geographical location and climatic conditions of Nanjun, which is very suitable for planting all kinds of fruit trees, he wants to go there and build his own fruit base.

Even if you can't dominate the market, it's still good to get some fruit to eat. What's more, there are still many deep processing projects about fruits in his mind, and he wants to try to implement them.

When he arrived at the earth boundary, Sun Chen's originally fiery heart was like being poured with a basin of cold water full of ice cubes, and it fell to the freezing point in an instant.

"This place is the Qingming Mountain that you recommended to me, and there is a lot of promise?" Sun Chen's eyes widened, looking at the bare and black in front of him, and only occasionally a few big tree trunks that were also black standing there, and questioned Liu Mingxuan, who was standing on the side.

Could it be that you think too well that the gap is too big? But it's also called Qingmingshan, and it's not even a single grass on it, almost nothing, right?

"This place wasn't like this before!" Liu Mingxuan was also confused, obviously the last time he came to see, the mountain was still full of green.

He led Sun Chen to his business partner's house, and after inquiring, he learned that because the weather was too dry during this time, and there were too many dry wild grasses on the mountain, there was a big mountain fire.

And because the mountain was unattended, and it was surrounded by cultivated land, and there were no people living around it, everything on the mountain was burned in the fire, and there were not even a few trees left that were growing.

"Although the starting point is lower, it is also good for us, and the selling price will definitely not be very high, right?" Liu Mingxuan comforted.

Qingming Town has an extremely vast cultivated area, but the population density is very low, and the per capita cultivated land area ranks among the best in the whole world. In good times, the fertile red soil here produces enough food for them to live a good life.

Because they don't have to worry about not having enough food to eat in the field, they will worry that their families will not have enough labor to do these jobs, so for the development of Qingmingshan, they only occasionally come here to hunt some rabbits and pheasants and other game. This also directly caused the residents here to pay much less attention to places like Qingmingshan than Taikang Town, where Sun Chen is located.

"Qingming County's pricing for Qingmingshan was originally only eight thousand taels of silver, but now that something like this happens, five thousand taels of silver should be able to be won."

"So low?" This price was something Sun Chen didn't expect at all, in his opinion, eight thousand taels of silver should be regarded as a big sale.

Covering an area of four or five hundred acres, even if it is thirty taels of silver per acre, it will cost fourteen or five thousand taels, and if five thousand acres can be taken down...... An acre of land is only ten taels of silver. It's almost like picking it up for nothing.

Anyway, there were no valuable cash crops planted on it, and this one burned, but he didn't even need to hire people to weed, and the only pity was that even the hares and pheasants on the mountain were burned to the ground, and it took a year or two to restore the original scene.

It's a good deal.

Sun Chen pondered in his heart for a while, and finally agreed.

Led by Liu Mingxuan, he signed the purchase agreement of Qingmingshan with the county government of Qingming County, and soon the land deed with the fragrance of ink entered Sun Chen's pocket.

"Okay, this mountain has also been bought, how to fiddle with it in your heart, right? I'm not going to mix with it. Liu Mingxuan patted Sun Chen's shoulder, "I still have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you here, I'll come to see you again when I'm free." ”

"Okay, when you come, you can bring me some goods." Sun Chen nodded. For his gratitude, Sun Chen put it all in his heart, this time for his own business, but let him spare hundreds of miles of travel. However, Sun Chen will still make the request, after all, he is familiar with the caravan, and he has only done business with Liu Mingxuan.

Sun Chen's trip didn't just bring a silver ticket and a second girl, but with him, there were also five carriages full of materials that he used to expand his territory. Rouge gouache, silk and satin, everything that is in the Pujia Pavilion, he has brought a lot, and he wants to make an order in Qingming County.

The affairs of Pujia Pavilion are helped by Erniu, Sun Chen only needs to set the address of the store, and the action of developing Qingmingshan will also be launched soon.

First of all, buy a house and buy people. Through the introduction of the local Ya Po, Sun Chen quickly decided on the location of the Pujia Pavilion, and even took him to buy a set of two-entry courtyards near the store, and bought more than 30 slaves, which were arranged in the Pujia Pavilion and Qingmingshan respectively.

Good-looking and smart, selling goods in Pujia Pavilion, simple, capable and hard-working, Sun Chen put two mothers-in-law to help with laundry and cooking at home, and the rest were all sent to live in the newly built house on Qingming Mountain.

During the day, they were on the mountain, working according to Sun Chen's arrangement, digging pits, planting trees, and watering until the sun went down, and then they had time to rest.

"Let's take advantage of the fact that the weather is not too hot, plant these fruit tree saplings, and when we are done, we can rest."
