Ling Yu looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

He admired it with self-absorption, and felt that there was something missing.

Shouldn't you leave a name?

It seems inappropriate to leave your real name directly.

You have to take a tough nickname.

Ling Yu pondered for a moment, and then used his mind to manipulate the brush to write four words at the back of the poem - Jing'an Jushi.

Wait for the painting to dry.

Ling Yu rolled up the painting, found a string to tie it, and put the scroll into his finger.

Many literati and ink writers, rich sons and ladies, and dignitaries like to collect calligraphy and paintings when they are idle and bored.

Because there is really no entertainment in this world, rich people either have this hobby left, or go to the green house.

Ling Yu didn't dare to guarantee that his paintings could be compared with those so-called masters in the art world.

But this painting sells for thirty or fifty taels of silver, so there should be no problem.

As long as the painting is sold, the urgent need will be solved.

The question at hand is where to sell it.

If you want to sell it at a good price, I'm afraid the county seat can't.

The provincial capital is too far away, more than a thousand kilometers away.

Then let's go to Nankang County Town.

The original owner had been to the county town with his father several times before, and he was quite familiar with the county town.

Ling Yu came out of the courtyard, originally wanting to go alone.

But thinking that Nankang County is more than a hundred miles away from here, it is definitely not possible to walk on two legs.

Let's ask Ye Yang to go with us.

That kid's cultivation has reached the realm of moving mountains, and he can fly with a sword.

There was an ancestral flying sword in Ling Yu's storage wrench, and the grade was not low.

It's just that his cultivation is low and he can't fly with his sword.

In the past month, he has relied on two legs to go to Lengxi Town, twenty miles away, every day to recruit disciples.

In order to prevent Rulong Sect from being banned, he ran back and forth every morning and evening, which was enough to fight.

Fortunately, he is also a fifth-order qi practitioner, although he is a little wastewood, his physique is much stronger than ordinary people, and his speed and endurance are also stronger than ordinary people.

It only takes more than half an hour to run more than 20 miles.

"Ye Yang, Ye Yang ......"

Ling Yu came to Ye Yang's courtyard and yelled twice into the house.

"......"

Ye Yang answered, hurriedly came out of the house, and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

In general, Ye Yang still respects him as a master.

"Come with me to Nankangjun."

Ling Yu waved at him, turned around and walked out.

"What are you going to do in Nankang County?"

Ye Yang was a little hesitant, obviously unwilling to go.

"To make money, of course."

Ling Yu replied casually, and when he saw him cowering, he raised his voice: "Hurry up." ”

"Master, that, it's good for you to go alone, I still have to practice."

Ye Yang laughed with him and didn't want to go.

"More than a hundred miles, did you tell me to walk over?"

Ling Yu glanced at him.

"I have a flying sword, you can fly with a sword."

Ye Yang was very generous and took out a flying sword from the storage ring.

He wasn't worried that Ling Yu would be greedy for his flying sword.

Because the Rulong Sect is his, it is impossible for him not to come back.

"If I could fly with a sword, I'd still need to call you."

Ling Yu glanced at it and beckoned: "Hurry up, don't ink." ”

Only then did Ye Yang react, his cultivation was not enough to control the flying sword.

"Master, please put on the sword."

Ye Yang pulled the flying sword out of its scabbard and manipulated the flying sword to float in the air.

Ling Yu thought for a while: "Don't worry, I'll take you down the mountain first to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

There is a winding mountain road on the east side of Luoyue Peak, which leads from the top of the mountain to the main gate at the foot of the mountain, and from the main gate to Lengxi Town, which is twenty miles away.

There are already five small villages around Luoyue Peak, all of which are tenants who have migrated from outside in the past ten years.

For example, Longzong gave them more favorable treatment, and other employers and tenants were all open.

For example, Longzong gave sixty percent to the tenants.

This sixty percent is only the share of 400 acres approved by the government.

If it is the land cultivated by the tenants themselves, for example, Longzong only receives 30%, and the tenants get 70%.

And there is a lot of wasteland here, in addition to paddy fields, there is also dry land where vegetables can be grown.

Tenants reclaim their own wasteland to grow vegetables, such as Longzong, who does not collect rent.

In other words, tenants can sell the vegetables they grow to Rulongzong.

Now, although the disciples of the Rulong Sect are gone, the tenants can take the vegetables to the town or county seat to sell.

This kind of treatment is not available anywhere else.

"More than a dozen mountains around here belong to my Rulong Sect, and the fields around the mountains are all from the Rulong Sect, but it's just ......"

Ling Yu led Ye Yang down the mountain road, introducing the surrounding situation.

But the rest of the words, he didn't continue.

But the smart Ye Yang also guessed it.

For example, the Dragon Sect now has only the two of them, owning hundreds of acres of land, and just collecting rent is enough for them to live a very nourishing life.

I'm afraid that the grain that the Dragon Sect originally collected was taken away or sold by those people.

And now it's mid-July, and the rice in the field is not yet ripe.

They are in the midst of a scarcity.

If they can't get the money, not to mention what they will eat in the next two or three months, five taels of tax silver per month will be enough for them to have a headache.

If the tax is not paid for more than two months, the government will also take back the land and estate.

Ye Yang also realized the difficulties of his master, and asked, "Master, have you thought of a way to make money?" ”

"There is a way, but I don't know ......"

Ling Yu wanted to speak and stopped, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Apprentice, in the future, the Dragon Sect will rely on our master and apprentice to carry it forward, and all the hopes for the master are pinned on you, you have to work hard and contribute more to the sect." ”

"Master, don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate."

Ye Yang said perfunctorily.

If you want me to make money for you, I won't do it.

If I hadn't found a suitable place to stay, you thought I'd come here.

"This kid is not easy to fool."

Ling Yu muttered in his heart, but he had to smile far-fetchedly: "Okay, cultivate hard." ”

"Sect Master Xiao Ling, go out to recruit disciples again."

The master and apprentice left the sect and came to the first village, and one of the villagers greeted Ling Yu.

"yes."

Ling Yu responded with a smile.

Ye Yang could see that these villagers had great respect for Ling Yu, and this respect came from the heart.

This shows that Rulong Sect is not bad to these villagers.

Ling Yu also respected these villagers very much, and did not look down on the villagers as cultivators.

It's a very harmonious village.

When they were about to walk out of the first village, Xu Bo, who was delivering vegetables in the morning, happened to come back from the field with a hoe.

When Uncle Xu saw Ling Yu, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and greeted, "Sect Master Xiao Ling, go out." ”

"yes."

Ling Yu gave Uncle Xu a polite smile back.

Uncle Xu glanced at them, his expression was a little worried, and after thinking about it, he still asked, "Sect Master Xiao Ling, have you recruited a disciple?" ”

"Recruited, he is my apprentice, called Ye Yang."

Ling Yu hurriedly introduced, and added apologetically: "I forgot to introduce it to you before." ”

He knew that Uncle Xu asked this because he was worried that the Rulong Sect would be banned.

If the Dragon Sect is banned, the livelihood of the more than 200 villagers under the mountain will be in question.

Even if the government continues to let them cultivate here, the land rent will definitely have to be recalculated, and the extra fields will also be reclaimed by the government to recalculate the land rent.
