Outside of Red Maple City, except for the relatively barren sandy and rocky land in the west, there are large farms and orchards on the other three sides, which supply the food of the whole city.

The land outside the city is divided into three grades according to the fertility of the soil, and then it is divided into nine grades according to the distance between the city gate and the Sunset Mountain Range in the north, with the land near the city gate in the south being the best level, and the land near the Sunset Mountain Range in the north being the ninth grade.

The manor of the Wen family is located between 2-3 kilometers from the city wall in the north, 3 kilometers long, and a total of 4,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed in addition to houses and fields.

According to the grading system, these lands are all 5 or 6 grade fields, this is because the former Wen family had no foundation in Red Maple City, and the high-grade land was in the hands of other ruling families and wealthy families.

The fact that there are so many and concentrated fields is that when Wen Ruoxu became an archon, the other ruling families and wealthy families gave most of them, and later the Wen family connected all the fields together through replacement and purchase.

After all, it is the land of the ruling family, although the level of the field is not high, but the fertility is not bad, half of it is a field, half of it is a field, half of it is a field, but there is no C field.

At this time, the morning sun had not long risen, and there was already a burning sensation in the air.

In the center of the manor, there is a much more ornate mansion than a farmhouse near and far, which is for the family warriors and the steward of the manor who guard here, and of course it is also here to rest every time Wen Wenyuan comes to patrol.

The house is not big, covering an area of only more than 500 square meters, but it is very simple that three small courtyards are connected side by side: the main courtyard in the middle is reserved for the Wen family to rest when they come, the east courtyard is the residence of the family warrior and a maid and a miscellaneous servant, and the west courtyard is the residence of the steward and a miscellaneous servant and a cook.

Under the stable behind the main courtyard of the manor, there is a luxurious carriage pulled by four horsemen, which is naturally the carriage that Wen Ming is riding.

The whole body of the cloud-stepping horse is snow-white, and there is a white mist at the four hooves, and it is said that the ancient powerful holy beast cloud-stepping beast and the heavenly horse combined to give birth to the first generation of cloud-stepping horse, the first generation of cloud-stepping horses can step on the clouds and take off, ** powerful and can control the power of the water system, which can be described as extremely powerful.

The blood of the offspring is gradually thinning, and the strength is gradually weakening, and now there is no special ability except for the uncontrolled condensation of water vapor by the four hooves.

However, its ** strength is still not comparable to ordinary mortal horses, but it can travel three thousand miles a day, and some powerful ones even travel four or five thousand miles a day, although they can't fly, they almost fly, plus the appearance is handsome, and it is worth a lot of money.

The Wen family's four cloud-stepping horses were the lowest breed of 3,000 miles a day, and the Wen family spent more than 600,000 copper coins to buy these four treasures.

It is said that the price of a horse that travels 5,000 miles a day is more than 10 times that of a horse that travels 3,000 miles a day, and it has to be bought by chance, and the world of the rich is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At this time, the carriage master was scrubbing the body of the Tayun horse, and Xiao Shi and the two handymen of the original manor were moving out of the carriage a lot of things, which were the daily necessities of the three Wenming masters and servants, a change of clothes, and more bags of medicinal herbs for medicinal baths and refined demon beast flesh and blood essence.

Huan'er was beside them, directing them to move their things to Wenming's room in the main courtyard, which had just been cleaned up.

In the main chamber, Wen Yuan's nephew, family warrior Lu Bolin, and steward Chen Jiahe were deliberating.

The steward Chen Jiahe is reporting on the situation of the Wen family's manor, the Wen family manor is a very important part of the Wen family's various industries, and it can provide the Wen family with an income of more than one million copper coins every year, you must know that the total income of the Wen family is only more than two million a year, and the manor accounts for more than half, which shows its importance.

Chen Jiahe is a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face and a kind face, but he can be the manager of 4,000 acres of land and more than 100 tenants, and he can manage it in an orderly manner, so he is naturally a person with means.

Recently, everything in the manor has been stable, and there have been no special events, so Chen Jiahe's report will end soon.

After the report, Chen Jiahe looked up at Wen Ming, he had never seen Wen Ming, and Wen Ming was not interested in coming to such a place outside the city that had no entertainment for him before.

Chen Jiahe looked at Wen Ming's slightly similar face to Wen Wenyuan, and guessed that he should be Wen Ming, the eldest young master of the Wen family, or Wen Yu, the second young master, but Wen Wenyuan didn't introduce him, so he wouldn't ask.

Wen Wenyuan nodded with satisfaction after listening to the Chen family's report, the Chen family has never made a mistake in managing the manor over the years, which has saved him a lot of heart, and he is also very satisfied with this steward.

Then he turned his head and asked Lu Bolin with a smile: "Mr. Lu's recent life, if there is anything that is not going well with the cultivation materials or the maids, you can put forward it, and I will definitely try my best to meet your needs." ”

Lu Bolin was a taciturn swarthy man, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and replied succinctly and clearly, "No!", and didn't say anything more.

Wen Wenyuan didn't care either, but Chen Jiahe next to him looked a little envious.

Lu Bolin is a Dawn Warrior, and his combat spirit has already cultivated his sword, but he has failed to pass the promotion trial several times.

In fact, this is also the case of most of the poorer Dawn warriors, very few can pass the trial, what they can do is to continue to refine their combat qi, hone their combat skills to obtain more powerful combat power, and at the same time save money to save world points to buy better exercises and combat skills.

Once they become full-fledged warriors, their world is different from that of ordinary people.

In terms of income, the average handyman's salary is only 8*900 a month, and his personal subordinates like Xiaoshi and Huan'er are in their early 1,000s, and even a steward like Chen Jiahe, who manages 4,000 acres of land and more than 100 tenants, is only more than 5,000 a month; but a "poor soldier" like Lu Bolin, his monthly salary in the Wen family is 20,000.

Generally, a Dawn warrior works for a wealthy family, and his salary is between 10,000 and 15,000 according to his combat strength, if he can practice to become a sword but cannot pass the promotion trial to become an "Extreme Dawn Warrior" like Lu Bolin, the salary can be 20,000.

Once the luck of luck is promoted to the Chaoyang Warrior through the trial, its salary will be at least doubled, starting from 40,000 or 50,000 to about 100,000 of the Extreme Chaoyang Warrior, and the two Extreme Chaoyang Warriors will be able to top the income of the Wen family, although the foundation of the Wen family is relatively shallow, and its income cannot be compared with the old ruling family, but it can also be seen that the income of the Extreme Chaoyang Warrior who "sells himself" is high.

In addition, the main family generally has to supply the basic cultivation materials of the family warriors, such as Lu Bolin, the Wen family has to provide him with a bottle of 10 forging pills, medicinal baths, medicinal materials, demon beast flesh and blood, etc., every month, and their value is about the same as the salary, so even if there are really extreme Chaoyang warriors who want to serve the Wen family, the Wen family can't afford to hire them.

But a family warrior with such a high income can only be regarded as a poor warrior.

Because as long as the soldiers still want to progress, it is far from enough to rely on the basic cultivation materials provided by the main family, and even the salary is not enough, so most of the soldiers who have no power are almost in abject poverty all year round unless they have no idea of continuing to move forward.

In addition, the identity and status of the soldiers are also beyond the reach of ordinary people, let's talk about the Chen family and Lu Bolin:

In the eyes of the Wen family, Chen Jiahe is just a "senior servant" who can be treated with courtesy.

Lu Bolin has maids, but Chen Jiahe does not. Lu Bolin only had to go around the manor once in a while to check and concentrate on his cultivation, while the Chen family had to manage the manor, deal with the tenants' parents, and so on.

There are countless different treatments in other lives and society, so even if you need to suffer a lot and your life is in danger to become a warrior, as long as you can afford the basic cultivation materials for your child, you will try your best to cultivate a warrior.

After Wen Wenyuan's work was dealt with, he straightened up, pointed to Wen Ming and said:

"This is my nephew Wen Ming, and now I will be cultivating here before the academy starts, you know. ”

Chen Jiahe hurriedly got up and bent down and said, "I've seen Young Master Ming!"

Lu Bolin also nodded to indicate that he had seen it.

Wen Ming also stood up and saluted Lu Bolin: "I've seen Mr. Lu." Then he said to Chen Jiahe: "It's hard work." On the way over, Wen Wenyuan introduced the two of them to Wen Ming.

Wen Wenyuan said to Lu Bolin again: "Please ask Mr. Lu to take more care of Wenming's safety during this period of time." ”

Lu Bolin replied briefly: "Okay!"

Wen Ming smiled and thanked: "Trouble Mr. Lu." ”

Wen Wenyuan then said to Wen Ming: "Most of your companions and maids in life should be able to do a good job, if there is anything they can't do, you can talk to Steward Chen." ”

Wen Ming nodded in understanding.

After the conversation, Wen Yuan was about to go back to the city, he was busy with things, and he couldn't stay in the manor for a long time, if he didn't take advantage of the fact that the sun was not too early to return to the city, then he would have to wait until the evening to go back.

After the other three sent Wen Wenyuan, they were all busy, Chen Jiahe wanted to chat with the two, especially Wen Ming, to get closer to the relationship, but one of them was not interested in talking at all, and the other was in a hurry to cultivate, so he could only do things.

The main courtyard has a total of six rooms: two upper rooms for the master, three rooms for the lower room, a medicine bath, which has been idle since the establishment of the annex and is now finally ready for use, as well as a public toilet and utility room.

Wen Ming entered his room and looked: the whole room should be about 50 square meters (1), divided into a bedroom, a small study, a small dining room and a bathroom, the area is not large, but Wen Ming is still quite satisfied, of course, this can not be compared with the home, it is already very good to have such conditions.

Wen Ming stood by the window and looked out, only to see patches of golden wheat fields shining in the sun, occasionally blown by the wind, layers of wheat waves like golden waves one after another, very beautiful. Looking at this vast world, Wen Ming's heart is wide:

How can a good man be an ordinary person confined to one place, here, is the starting point of his warrior road!
