"I inquired about the Cao family, originally from Ningxi, who fled to Xijing in the middle of the year before last. In the second year, he met the Duan couple who were recuperating in Xijing City at that time, and Cao Ren, the eldest of the Cao family, apprenticed to Duan Zongdaotou and was the only apprentice. In March this year, Cao Xin, the fifth elder of the Cao family, apprenticed to Ning Nuxia, and was also the only apprentice of Ning Nuxia. ”

Wei Wenhai frowned, really a little confused.

Duan Chong is invincible.

Ning Shuhua was also a master of Qishan.

How could such a couple look down on such a dilapidated settlement as the Cao family?

It's another apprenticeship.

It was for the Cao family to come forward to purchase a villa.

It's too careful!

Could it be that the Cao brothers did something unknown when Duan Chong and his wife were in trouble, so that the couple owed a great favor?

Or did the two ancestors have a friendship before this?

I don't understand!

Too psychedelic!

"I can't find out more specifically, I only know that when the Duan couple first arrived in Xijing City, they were quite depressed because they were fighting with the four ghosts of Yehe, and they were both injured, so they had to live in a friend's house."

"Later, Cao Ren apprenticed, and the Duan family moved out to live alone."

"At the end of last year, Duan Chong went to the Cai Shui Gang in order to let his disciple Cao Ren get rid of the Cai Shui Gang, and defeated the Cai Shui Gang leader and the three deputy gang leaders."

"Later, after the turn of the year, I began to toss the Juyi Dart Bureau."

"The origin of the silver is unknown."

Even if it is the Wei family, it is not so easy to investigate one person, two families, and certain things.

For example, Duan Chong's source of money for opening a dart game.

For example, the source of money for the Cao family to purchase Maweizhuang.

For example, how did the Duan family and the Cao family get together.

Another example is why Duan Chong and his wife are willing to escort the Cao family.

And so on, only two families or even a few of the two families know the reason, and it is impossible for outsiders to find out at all.

You can only guess -

"It may be that the husband and wife value love and cherish talents."

"It is said that Cao Ren's qualifications are good, and he has already begun to take shape after a year of sword training."

"Cao Xin, the fifth elder of the Cao family, is even more powerful, he is only ten years old this year, it is rumored that he is proficient in medical skills, and he is also a genius in martial arts, and even the little Su Tanhua of the Su family in the immortal capital is shocked, and he has called him a 'prodigy' on many occasions."

"Although there may be exaggerations, the qualifications are certainly passable. If the Duan couple cultivated the two brothers as heirs of the mantle, it would barely make sense. ”

Makes sense!

Wei Wenhai's face was strange.

Maweizhuang, together with the surrounding fertile fields and fishing boats, has been purchased in a complete set, at least four or five thousand taels.

The Duan family spares no matter how talented they are.

And then there is the big wrong.

It is impossible to take out so much to buy property for the Cao brothers in Changxi Lake, and the name of Zhuangzi is 'Caojiazhuang'.

Doesn't make sense.

Unless—

"The Cao family is rich!"

"It's the Cao family who pays for it!"

But where did the Cao family get the money?

If you have money, you still have to flee the famine?

"There's no urgency."

"Find an opportunity for someone to go to Ningxi to investigate."

But no matter what the specific situation is, it is a fact that Cao Ren and Cao Xin have Duan Chong and his wife re-cultivated, especially the young Cao Xin, he is also valued by Su Yu, and he can freely enter and leave Su Mansion, which can be seen that it is not an embroidered pillow, but a little bit of real material. can let Baoju and Fei Fei have more contact, maybe ten years later, it will be my Wei family's strong reinforcement. ”

The central idea of Wei Qingxiong's words is just one word-

Make friends!

Make friends!

……

It's night.

Caojiazhuang.

Cao Xin and his eldest brother Cao Ren are also talking at night.

"The thirty guards of the Wei family are temporarily staying, and the leaders are Wei Baoju and Wei Feifei."

"Master will return tomorrow, and Master and Uncle Tang will stay with four dart masters and stay in the village temporarily."

"38 households, 31 people practice martial arts, remove Xie Changlin, Lu Damiao, Zou Long, Zou Hu four people who are on errand in the Yamen, as well as 7 people who have just entered the martial arts hall for less than three months, and the remaining 20 people were originally in the Juyi Dart Bureau, now half and half, 10 people are still in the Juyi Dart Bureau, 10 people are transferred back and formed into an escort team."

Caojiazhuang's current guard force has three sources -

Wei Jia.

Dart game.

Juvenile.

But what can really be relied on for a long time is still their own escort team.

Although there are only ten people in the escort team at the moment, they are all the first batch of teenagers to enter the martial arts hall to practice martial arts. After more than half a year, there have been initial successes, and there is not much problem in dealing with idle thieves.

It will expand and grow in the future.

"The 31 families on the shortlist, each recruiting one person, are 14 to 18 years old teenagers, a total of 31 people, organized into three teams - one team to guard the village and practice martial arts, one team to operate boats and fish, one team to escort and sell fish, and one rotation in January."

This is a personnel arrangement.

As for Caojiazhuang's operation and income-

"Fishing and selling fish is one thing."

"The white shrimp in Changxi Lake can be processed into dried shrimp and dried shrimp, and the seeds of white shrimp can be processed into shrimp roe, which also accounts for some manpower."

"Then there are 110 acres of paddy fields along the Mawei River."

As long as these three aspects are done well in the early stage, Caojiazhuang should be able to achieve a balance between income and expenditure.

It doesn't matter if it's almost.

Cao Xin also has a 'primordial immortal realm', which can be completely supplemented.

"Silver is a strong flower, no need to save."

"There is a granary in the Zhuangzi, and there can be more grain reserves. There are also medicinal herbs, and the continuous acquisition should not stop. All kinds of books should also be made, and a library should be built. There are also all kinds of weapons and martial arts equipment, which should also be purchased. ”

Cao Xin took out a booklet, which recorded all the matters that Caojiazhuang urgently needed to improve.

It's not just Caojiazhuang.

The primordial fairy world also wants to.

Therefore, it is necessary to buy twice and in large quantities.

With Caojiazhuang and a base area, to a certain extent, Cao Xin can let go of his hands and feet and spend money boldly. Send people around to buy them, and they are all bits and pieces. The accounts are in the hands of Cao Ren and Cao Xin, not to mention outsiders, even Cao Jiazhuang's own people may not know how much money the brothers spent.

……

The day Caojiazhuang settled in was a great battle——

Juyi Dart Bureau escort.

Hua Ting Wei family greeted.

Even, the Wei family left thirty guards to continue to protect the villa.

For a time, the reputation of Caojiazhuang spread all over Changxi Lake, and all the charms and spirits retreated.

……

It's November.

The Cao family has been in Caojiazhuang for a month and a half.

this day.

Wei Feifei got up very early as always.

"Little lady Wei."

"Little lady Wei is early."

The dealer basically knows this eldest lady, and they avoid it when they meet, and greet them respectfully.

They have been in Changxi Lake for half a month, initially integrated, and already know the status of the Wei family in Huating County, facing Wei Feifei, the eldest lady of the Wei family, no matter how gentle the latter is, he does not dare to slack off or get close.

Such a noble person should be respectful and stay away.

Wei Feifei herself knew that she didn't want to mingle with these people, she only smiled and nodded.

I went to a martial arts arena.

"Whew!"

In the martial arts arena, dozens of teenagers went their own way.

Some practice boxing.

Some practice swords.

There are dancing knives.

Some got guns.

It's not the same.

This is a martial arts practice.

There are also some teenagers who are running and dancing stone locks, and they are still in the stage of training strength and laying the foundation.

Wei Feifei walked to the middle of the field.

In the past few days, the cold wave has struck, and she is wearing a light green leather jacket, a goose yellow pleated skirt, and a white robe.

Not to mention in the countryside, even in Xijing City, it is difficult to see such a girl.

Young Muai.

With the arrival of Wei Feifei, many teenagers secretly cast their eyes.

Those who practice martial arts work harder.

Wei Feifei looked at it casually, and only after a while did she leave with a smile. When she got out of the martial arts training ground, she looked at the middle-aged woman who had been following her and said strangely: "Aunt Qiong, those dozen or so juvenile nurses have made rapid progress. ”

Teenagers love to perform.

Wei Feifei also looked carefully.

There has been a lot of attention in the past month and a half, and I can vaguely see it.

"It's fast, indeed."

Yuan Qiong nodded.

Her strength is higher, her knowledge is wider, and her eyesight is stronger, and she can see that the dozen or so teenagers in Caojiazhuang are making rapid progress in their respective martial arts.

In terms of progress, I am afraid that each of them is far above Wei Feifei and Wei Baoju.

"It is said that the households in Caojiazhuang were personally recruited by Senior Brother Cao Ren, and they also funded these young nurses to practice martial arts in the major martial arts halls in Xijing City, and they all achieved success in less than a year."

Wei Feifei was a little surprised.

"The teenagers carefully selected and cultivated by Weijiabao are the most outstanding ones, which is about this level."

"There are not many teenagers in Caojiazhuang who originally practiced martial arts, but everyone is making rapid progress, which is not simple."

"I think that the owner of Cao Zhuang has extraordinary eyesight and can discern qualifications."

Yuan Qiong was also impressed.

Even if it is a big force like Weijiabao, at most, it is only a rough estimate of a person's bones through methods such as pinching bones, crossing qi, etc., and the accuracy rate is extremely low, which is only better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Over the years, two or three hundred teenagers have been screened to practice martial arts, and after a year or two, the big waves have swept the sand, and in the end, only one in ten or so can continue to practice martial arts.

Among them, those that can still stand out after three or five years are less than a palm.

Year after year.

From generation to generation.

Weijiabao completely relies on strong financial resources to train a large number of teenagers, and only by hard ramming the base number can we ensure that Weijiabao continues to train the family and keep a certain number of masters.

But after all, many teenagers are not qualified, and a teenager spends a lot of money in a year or two, and the amount of money consumed is not a small amount. Even if Weijiabao is a big business, it is distressing, and many people prefer to cultivate their own family members in small amounts, and then spend money to go outside to hire a master to care for the hospital, saving worry, effort and money.

Only a few people have the courage to do so.

Among them, the owner of Wei Lao Zhuang is the leader, and the final word is made.

"Senior Brother Cao is only one year older than me, how can he have such eyesight?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence, or Mr. Duan's dart head is pointing."

"However, you can observe the other teenagers in Zhuangzhong who are laying the foundation, and pay attention to their progress in martial arts in the future."

Wei Feifei was a little concerned.
