Chapter 80: Making the Most of It

"It's easy. When the time comes, you can see if there is a suitable place to buy in the vicinity, and build a small yard there first."

Zhao Guo'er nodded, took out an oily paper bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Lei Jing: "There are 10,000 and 300 taels of silver tickets here. Three hundred taels are reserved for you to buy tools and other things you may need. You will keep an account of what you have bought every month, and you will have the rest of the money to keep with you. If it's not enough, you can come back to me and get it."

As he spoke, Zhao Guo'er gave him another purse: "In addition, there are fifty taels of silver and copper plates scattered here."

"Boss, this is too much silver. I don't need it."

Lei Jing wrapped the oil paper in one hand and the purse in the other, with a touched look on his face, and handed the paper bag back to Zhao Guo'er and refused: "Fifty taels of silver is enough to buy tools, and it should be more than enough to buy a deserted courtyard."

"I said that the 10,000 taels of silver was for you to settle in, do you want me to break my promise and get fat?"

Pushing the oil paper bag back again, Zhao Guoer deliberately glared at Lei Jing: "This is the deed I re-written, you see, if you think it's okay, the previous deed will be invalid."

"Boss, my skill is not worth that much silver. If you have to give, a thousand taels will suffice."

Lei Jing lowered his head and whispered, "The master who taught me at the beginning, I only gave him a thousand taels of silver. That's not a small amount."

"It's different. You're worth ten thousand taels." Zhao Guo'er smiled and said in a tone that could not be refused, "I am most annoyed by the same people pushing around like this. Give it to you, and you can hold it with peace of mind."

"That is, you can take it with peace of mind if you give it to you, settle your nurse better, and if you stay and live outside with the buyer, you can work with peace of mind, right?"

Tian Funiang also followed the persuasion, and did not feel that Zhao Guo'er gave Lei Jing too much silver.

"Yes."

Zhao Guo'er and Tian Funiang both said this, Lei Jing didn't dare to refuse anymore, and after collecting the money, he asked Zhao Guo'er again, "Dongjia, when will you come back next time?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhao Guo'er thought about it for a while and didn't give a specific time, and asked him, "How long do you have to dig a single secret room?" Or would you take a closer look and pick someone from all the people who came with you to help you?"

"You don't have to be alone. Just digging the secret room, if it doesn't take too much, it's enough for me to be alone for three nights."

Lei Jing shook his head: "But if the owner wants people to learn from me, the owner can just pick people out, and I will teach them well."

"I don't need you to teach others, I will learn a few hands from you myself when I have the opportunity in the future."

After all, this is a confidential matter, and it is impossible for her to get others involved without absolute trust. Lei Jing, isn't there no way?

Zhao Guo'er thought about it and waved her hand: "Let's not be in a hurry, you can work leisurely, don't finish it all in one go." Dig for a maximum of two or three hours a night. Don't delay your rest. I have something to tell you to do during the day."

"What does the owner want?"

I heard that there were other things to tell me to do, and this was clearly to reuse myself. Lei Jing immediately perked up again, and asked happily.

"First of all, the group of people who came with us, this time my mother and I will leave tomorrow and take a few with us. You'll take care of the rest, pay close attention to them, ask them what their specialties are, and find a few masters to teach them what they are suitable for." ….

Thinking that Lei Jing was cultivated as the heir of the Guogong Mansion since he was a child. Now that it is in her hands, Zhao Guoer doesn't want to waste talents at all, of course, she wants to make the best use of it.

Without the slightest obstacle, she just commanded, "Except for those people, if you meet a usable talent in the Zhuangzi or outside, use what you can use, and buy what you can buy."

In this way, Zhao Guo'er himself first felt that the three hundred and fifty taels of silver he gave Lei Jing was too little.

So without hesitation, he took him another silver ticket of three thousand taels, and gave him a copy of the internal strength method that he could practice quickly.

"This, this is the inner strength of the mind?"

Listen to Zhao Guoer's meaning

Ming just wants to be her chief steward himself. That Lei Jing thinks he is competent. But after taking the thin piece of paper handed over by Zhao Guo'er and opening it to take a look, Lei Jing immediately closed the paper and looked at Zhao Guo'er in surprise.

When he saw her nodding without caring at all, Lei Jing took a deep breath: "Dongjia, you, do you know how rare an internal strength method is? Even if it's like the Anguo Mansion in Qiguo, the background is not bad, and there is nowhere to find it."

"Sounds precious. But since there is, of course, it is to make the best use of it. Otherwise, what's the difference between hiding and tucking it away from nothing?"

Zhao Guo'er was slightly surprised by the rarity of this internal strength method, and quickly said with a smile.

「……」

It made so much sense that he couldn't refute it at all.

After a pause, Lei Jing smiled helplessly at Zhao Guo'er: "Why aren't you really afraid that I will run away with this internal strength method?"

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people."

Zhao Guo'er also laughed and raised her eyebrows, "Besides, how do you know that I didn't keep a hand? What I'm going to give you is just a low-level exercise. There are intermediate and advanced ones in the back. I don't believe you don't want the future."

"Intermediate and high-level internal strength methods, are you willing to give them to me as well?"

couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Lei Jing only felt that his breathing was almost stagnant, and asked in disbelief.

"Didn't I say it, I felt like I could trust you when I saw you."

said too much, Zhao Guoer was about to believe it. Her face remained unchanged and continued to flicker Lei Jing: "I believe my instincts will not be wrong. And you made that oath. So since you are credible, do I have any problems with the intermediate and high-level internal strength methods for you?"

Lei Jing: "......"

"Don't waste any more time wrestling with these inconsequential issues. Tomorrow my mother and I will leave this Zhuangzi, you should hurry up and take a look at this exercise, is there anything you don't understand.

If so, ask as soon as possible. If you don't, you just stay here and practice and try to get started. With me and my mother here, if you practice wrong, it won't be a problem for us to help correct it.

Intermediate and advanced exercises will be given to you next time when we come back to Zhuangzi. You hurry up and practice. When you have advanced, you can start to pick out people with good character and suitable character and pass on this exercise."

Zhao Guo'er said and looked up at Lei Jing and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood. The proprietors want to have a force of their own."

As early as when Zhao Guo'er took out this internal strength method, even if she didn't mean it, Lei Jing would persuade her.

Now that she has thought so, of course it is impossible for Lei Jing to pretend not to understand.
