The Valley of Weeping Blood, the valley that was once embedded in the forest of the barbarian communists, is no longer synonymous with wilderness, it is more like a miracle, known in just a year and a half.

Walking on the road paved with huge bluestone, looking at the not wide street, the crowd in a hurry, as if everyone was so busy, Zheng Guang walked through the crowd and turned directly into a stone staircase that climbed upward, which seemed to be a little faster.

This huge castle that rises from the ground seems to occupy a small area, but in fact, it houses far more people than it seems, it is a circumferential square tower, just one of the weeping blood castles, about sixteen feet high, like a huge pillar.

If you change places, such a building is not a tower for hiding treasures, or an arrow tower for defense, or something like that, but here, it has become a sky office building, well, it is called the whole name, and it is said that the legendary young lord himself named it.

Around the rotating stone steps of this square tower, to the sixth floor, the entire space is divided into east and west halves, and the east part is rented by Zheng Guang, an area of no more than 100 square meters, but the annual set is as high as tens of thousands of gold coins, and this is still early, now this kind of place, 30,000 gold coins may not be rented.

Although he can make a lot of money by renting it out, he will not sublet it out even if he is killed now, and it is like a face in this place, and he has seen a businessman transfer it because he is greedy for cheapness, and he still regrets it.

The southern part of Chuzhou, although it is winter, is only slightly cold, far less cold than the cold in the north, but this cold current also made Zheng Guang, who was thinly dressed, shiver, and walked into the door of the room, but he did not go in immediately but stood in the open-air corridor and looked outside.

This kind of high-altitude place is not without its benefits, at least every time he stands here, overlooking the dense forest sea below and in the distance, his mood will beat faster.

Zheng Guang was not born in a wealthy family, although he was born in a small merchant family, he traveled north and south, but he has not accumulated much money over the years, and in the late spring of last year, a shipload of goods that gathered half of his net worth was on the way south along the Tianhe River, and he was unlucky to encounter grass bandits.

The grass bandits can be said to be the last thing that the businessmen who walk the waterway want to encounter, those who shout loudly, they are also reasonable, knowing that they can't fish with all their might, just charge some tolls, but these grass bandits don't care about those, if it is some big businessmen, they naturally have guards and bodyguards, but small businessmen like him can only admit bad luck.

Finally, he jumped into the water in time, picked up a life, lost most of the family property, and ten years of hard work came to naught, Zheng Guang returned home, quite disheartened, and planned to use the remaining money to buy a few acres of land, but when he was dealing with a few of his own shops and looking for some friends in the past to say goodbye, he heard from a fellow villager who was on an errand in the Pingnan Hou Mansion and learned about it.

If he hadn't heard it, Zheng Guang might have returned to the countryside to become an obscure small landlord and live a fairly wealthy life, but when he heard it, his heart began to stir, he was a businessman who dared to take risks, so he lost most of his family property last time, and after a few nights of struggle, he still came, taking all his possessions.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, all the businesses are making the final account settlement, as if announcing the penalty, which makes people nervous.

Taking a few breaths of cold air to make his mind clear, Zheng Guang turned around and pushed open the door, which is less than 100 square meters, but there are several spaces, two small rooms, used to live in people, and a large living room, which is used to entertain other colleagues and office.

There are more than ten people in his small business, but here, there is only one old bookkeeper, followed by his family for two generations, more than forty old people, in addition to his wife, a rather beautiful beautiful woman, who leaned against the small table by the wall, crackling abacus beads kept beating.

The paper on which the accounts were kept was specially made, and it is said that it was also invented by the legendary young lord, and it was easier and faster to calculate the accounts, and although the old bookkeeper was in his sixties, he was still excited to accept this novel method of accounting settlement.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed a little depressing, and his wife was also helping to sort out the accounts, and her face was quite serious, which made Zheng Guang inevitably feel a little nervous, because this time, he not only scattered the last of his family property, but also borrowed a large amount of money from the lord here, although the interest rate was much lower than other places, but this amount was like a mountain pressing on his shoulders. It's not easy to be the head of the family!" Come out!" The abacus beads stopped, and the crisp tapping sound stopped, as if the final verdict of the court was coming, and Zheng Guang swallowed. Spitting, with a hint of eagerness, he shouted: "Old Zhou, madam, the accounts can be settled, whether you have made or lost!"

Zheng Guang's wife was born in a small landlord family, belonging to the kind of small jasper type, the housekeeper is a good hand, looking at Zheng Guang's eager appearance, she is not teasing her husband, but shows a gentle smile like water, and said: "If you earn it, how can you lose it!"

"Can you swap for debt?"

"Enough, not only enough, but also a slight surplus, even if it is enough to give everyone a big year's money, although after giving, there is not much left!"

"Really!" Zheng Guang heard this, not to mention that he was excited, making money was certain, but he didn't expect to have a surplus, after all, the expenses were also not small, such as this house, it costs 10,000 gold coins a year, although it is prepaid, and the balance is paid at the end of the year, but this amount can be more than half of the gold coins he earned in a year in previous years.

Not to mention, the rent of the warehouse, the purchase of a few shops, the purchase of a few carriages, and two medium-sized cargo ships, collecting goods outside, the balance owed, (handshake hands and dedication) labor, this pen calculation, where is the family property of his only remaining Wuwan gold coins, in addition, he also owes a debt of 80,000 gold coins.

It's all cleared all at once, and there is still a surplus, so doesn't it mean that he has earned more than 100,000 gold coins in the past few months, 100,000, which is equivalent to five times his income in previous years, although there are few gold coins left in the end, but this is the first time to do business here, where can it be compared with the familiar line he walked before.

Counting the back and forth, contacting the source of goods, and the seller, he actually only ran two back and forth this year, but only two back and forth, and he flattened all the investment, debts, and surpluses, which can only be described as windfall profits, although as early as after coming here, he knew that he would definitely make money, read the book but never thought that he would earn so much.

The Golden River, sure enough, is a river flowing with gold, he is just a small businessman, those nobles, the big family has invested hundreds of thousands, millions of gold coins, and how much is the return.

The abacus beads are beating in every place, and the stop of each abacus will make a group of people happy, although it is cold outside, but the atmosphere of the entire Weeping Blood Castle is continuing to heat up, and the business of the teahouses and taverns seems to have never been deserted, and even the guests of several large green buildings and red halls in a noble territory not far from the Weeping Blood Castle are extraordinarily numerous.

"Hmm!" Li Ya'er, the chief manager in the Weeping Blood Castle, stretched her waist, the full ** mountain peak was upright, and several braziers set off layers of heat waves, making the light gauze sweat against the skin, showing a perfect arc.

Stood up, came to the side, let the charming sun shine on the delicate body, and after a while, he turned his head and looked at Lu Chanyue, who was also buried on the other big Nanmu table on the side: "Mrs. January" should rest and liquidate, otherwise the bones will be rusted!"

"Hehe, it's okay, you've got it over there?" Lu Chanyue raised her head, put down her pen, and shook her arm, which was also very sore.

"Where is it so easy, this weeping blood castle up and down to eat, drink and Lazar, hundreds of people, where is so easy to get it, and all kinds of expenses for next year must be made in advance, plus the rebel army, it is a big expense, all kinds of things, but the trouble is dead!"

Although he said so, Li Ya'er's face was full of smiles, tired, compared to before, he had to spend the thousand eight hundred gold coins up and down a year, and he calculated back and forth how to spend them, and now he should be very happy.

"Well, who said it wasn't, Feng Ling, Sophia, they can't help, the eldest lady went to the imperial capital again, although she has to come back a year ago, but she can't help much, this time when he comes back, you have to get a few more housekeepers to help, otherwise we don't have to do anything else for a day!"

"Hehe, I think so too, but it's not easy to find a housekeeper, you have to be loyal and reliable, hey!" In the final analysis, the upstart like the Leng family has too poor background, and at this time, there are not even enough credible people to find a few, even if they are cultivated now, don't think about it for a few years.

Most of the housekeepers of the general family are cultivated from several generations of domestic slaves, and it is more difficult to raise the difficulty of cultivation than to cultivate those young masters and young ladies, after all, it doesn't matter how many losers there are in the family, but if the housekeeper is not in the right place, then it is difficult for the family to prosper.

"Then we can only hope that my husband is marrying a few more sisters and a few more confidants, otherwise we will only have to work hard!"

"It's better to have Mrs. Yue like this, then it will be much easier for me to be a housekeeper!"

"You, even if you want to be lazy, you can't do it, this year is the beginning of the year, and after the New Year, I'm afraid I'm going to be even busier!

"It should have crossed the Tianhe, the master is already getting married, and after the New Year, he will marry Mrs. Yue and Mrs. Ling, but the young master will not stay long, and he will go on the expedition again!"

"Ya'er, if he doesn't marry you too, he can marry several of them anyway!"

"Madame, don't say that, Ya'er is just a housekeeper, how can you ......!"

"Why can't it!" Before Li Ya'er could finish speaking, a deep voice came from behind her, and Li Yaer suddenly turned her head in surprise.

"Young Master, why are you back?"
