Because of Ning Ruxue's relationship, Ye Wen quickly found a place on the book mountain that he was satisfied with, this is a vast platform that is close to the top of the mountain, and if you go up, it will all be steep mountain walls.

At the same time, there is only a slightly better road between this platform and the bottom of the mountain, which leads directly to the avenue up the mountain, and the other paths cannot be climbed because most of the surrounding areas are steep cliffs. If it is used as a sect, it can avoid being besieged by the enemy.

What's more, the place here is vast, even if Ye Wen finds someone to build a small palace here, he is not afraid of not having enough space, if his Shushan faction really wants to develop and grow, enough space is also a must.

Therefore, when Ye Wen saw this, he immediately decided to set the new gate station here.

"Isn't it too high here?" Ning Ruxue didn't think this was a good place, although the environment here was beautiful and the terrain was dangerous, but there was only one way up the mountain, and it was all stuck by the sects below. In this way, the people who come to apprentice will probably never be able to come here, let alone join the Shushan faction.

And in Ning Ruxue's heart, if the sect wants to grow, countless disciples and disciples are indispensable, and it is impossible for herself and her senior brother to destroy the Zhengquan Sect with the strength of just two people, so as to regain what their sect has been robbed.

She didn't know that Ye Wenda's idea was to follow the elite strategy, first of all, to create a master wholeheartedly (this master is of course himself), and then use this master as the core of the sect to break into fame, expand power and eliminate competitors. As for accepting disciples? This should be done slowly, at least now there is no need to accept disciples.

Moreover, even if someone really comes to apprentice, I'm afraid that the two of them don't have any martial arts instructors who can do it.

Basic fist and foot swordsmanship? Those things are ordinary Jianghu performers, who really wants to practice martial arts who doesn't know some basics? Except for those children who want to worship a certain sect to practice martial arts when they are young. But these children are not quite powerful in the family, how can they look at their shabby little faction?

Not to mention the Shushan Sword Technique, in Ye Wen's opinion, this thing is slightly stronger than the Beginner Sword Technique, and he is very curious about how the predecessors of the Shushan Sect made a name for themselves with this rotten sword technique.

He roughly flipped through the book on the inheritance of the sect in his hand, and knew that the second-generation head of the sect was still famous in the surrounding areas of Shushan, and the Shushan faction was also a first-class sect in this area at that time, and it was also somewhat famous.

"Could it be that there is something that has been lost?"

Ye Wen could only make such a guess, but he didn't feel distressed, after all, he was wearing that magical ring on his hand, and he was not afraid that he would not have martial arts secrets to cultivate.

What's more, he was going to build a dwelling here first, and then concentrate on practicing retreat in the mountains for quite a long time, and even planned not to have contact with outsiders at all until the money in his hand was completely spent.

It is foreseeable that he will not go out for a long time in the future, and judging from the frequency that the ring can be used once a month, then he can summon enough martial arts cheats during this time to facilitate his cultivation.

Touching his chin and looking around, the sun had just risen at this time, standing on the top of the mountain and bathing in the morning sun, Ye Wen exhaled a long breath.

"Since Senior Brother has decided to be here, then let's go find a craftsman to build two houses first!" Ning Ruxue didn't speak, she saw that Ye Wen had been standing there and looked here and there happily, and then stood in place and was silent, knowing that her senior brother in charge, who was becoming more and more incomprehensible, was thinking about something important, so she didn't bother anymore.

It's just that I'm a little annoyed that I didn't get any response to my question, so my tone is a little stiff, and my face is not very good-looking.

At this time, Ye Wen only remembered that he was a junior sister, when he was thinking about things just now, he completely ignored Ning Ruxue, and everything was based on his own thinking.

It was only then that he remembered that there was another person beside him.

"How much money does the junior sister still have in her hand, which will be enough for the two of us to eat and wear after building a house?" This is related to how long the two of them can live in retreat and cultivation, so they must be clarified first.

Ning Ruxue replied stiffly: "I went to build a house, and if I save the rest, it will be enough for the two of us to use it for more than two years!"

What she meant by this was the rest of the money, if the two of them just bought some basic food, it didn't matter if they lived in the mountains for two years, and the subsequent words were even more beneficial to Ye Wen's retreat cultivation plan. "If we buy some vegetables and grow them ourselves in the mountains, then we only buy some grain and use them for three or four years!"

Ye Wen remembered that the two of them took it from the eight bandits and the weapons and miscellaneous items that were not used in exchange for it, plus the bounty of silver, and the property in their hands was less than 50 taels of silver, which was already a huge amount of money at this time.

According to what Ye Wen saw in the past two days and the situation from Ning Ruxue's side knock on the side, it is known that in this era, ordinary people only have a few taels of silver for food and clothing a year.

In particular, it can be seen that the two people inadvertently made this vote to solve a considerable problem, otherwise the two people can only cut down trees and build a house by themselves, where can they get the spare money to hire someone to build a good house.

It's just that because it is necessary to make a good façade for the rebuilt mountain gate, the money used to build the house is afraid that it will cost a lot, and if the huge amount of money in the hand is built to build the house, at least more than half of it will be used up (especially on such a high mountain, the labor cost is probably much higher than in the county).

Therefore, in the end, the two of them can leave about 20 taels is already good, if the two of them save a little use, maybe they can be used for two years, if they do something else, I am afraid that it will be spent in less than a year.

"Alas...... It seems that if you want to make the sect strong, how to make money is also a science!"

This is also very different from some of the business games that Ye Wen played at the beginning, and the ghost knows how the sect has made money in these years. He can't go out and rob like those ** green forests. As for collecting protection money, it seems that it is not the turn of the little Shushan faction to collect it......

Ning Ruxue didn't interject because she didn't know how to solve this problem either. As for the former Shushan faction, they relied on the few plots of land left behind at the beginning to raise a few miscellaneous vegetable farmers, and basically the vegetables they ate were all grown by themselves, mainly to buy rice and some sundries.

These expenses are not large, and they can still survive with the foundation of the Shushan faction that was 'broad' at the beginning. It's just that Ning Ruxue knew that her master was also worried about this matter at that time, and she didn't know how to solve this problem.

Originally, he thought that as soon as he went, this problem would be solved by Ye Wen, but he didn't think that Ye Wen would lose the sect to others not long after, along with those few pieces of land and the two miscellaneous vegetable farmers, if Master Ye Wen learned about it, he didn't know if he would be angry and come back to life.

And this question turned around and turned to the current Ye Wen, Ning Ruxue didn't know if she, the senior brother who had a soul leaving disorder, could come up with a good idea, and was waiting for Ye Wen's later text with a little anticipation, but she didn't expect to hear a blood-vomiting remark.

"Whatever, there's still a lot of silver anyway, at least there's nothing to worry about for the time being!

After speaking, no matter how ugly Ning Ruxue's face was, she walked directly down the mountain, and greeted Senior Sister Ning, who seemed to be frozen in place, as she walked: "Senior sister, let's go down the mountain first to find a few craftsmen! By the way, invite a miscellaneous vegetable farmer! In the future, we will have to live on this mountainside, it is inconvenient to come and go, and if you can solve the problem by yourself, try to solve it on the mountain......

......

Time flies, and nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye since Ye Wen finalized the location of the gate and went down the mountain to invite craftsmen.

In these days, the craftsmen who spent a lot of money have built a circle of walls around this huge open land, and built a fairly majestic main gate, on which the huge plaque reads "Shushan School" three big characters, which looks quite imposing.

It's just that the inside is not as imposing as this wall, except for a main hall used to meet guests, there are no more imposing buildings.

There was not even a stone slab in the empty courtyard, and behind the main hall, in addition to an apse dedicated to the patriarch and a large house that could live in people, there was only a kitchen for cooking and a side room for the servants.

Spending so much money on the wall has already made Ning Ruxue very dissatisfied, after all, the repair of the apse of the main hall is still related to the face of the sect and the respect for the ancestral master, but what is the purpose of the wall being so gorgeous?

Although Ye Wen gave a "fence the place first, it will be used in the future anyway, so as not to be occupied by others! The reason is not unreasonable, but she still thinks that this is a bit wasteful, it is better to use a fence first, and then consider the problem of building a fence when the sect is strong.

But he didn't know that Ye Wen had already regarded this place as his private property, and he would never allow outsiders to touch it, so he was circled early. After all, in Ye Wen's view, this is a new starting point for himself to start anew.

What made Ning Ruxue even more dissatisfied was that it cost so much money to just such a big house and a side room, she didn't understand what Ye Wen meant by so many messy demands, the hard couch, the stove that was more like a fire for cooking, and the hollow iron pipes and iron chimneys connected to the roof all over the house, she didn't know what they were for.

Although the big house that Ye Wen made was divided into two rooms that were not connected to the left and right, it could even continue to separate more huts to accommodate more people. It's just that many inexplicable things still make her not understand the meaning of the money spent.

It's just that Ye Wen didn't explain to her at all, and after a while, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, but ran to the bedroom and didn't know what to start tinkering with, and he never saw him come out to practice.

Ning Ruxue didn't know that Ye Wen had waited for a long time and finally looked forward to this day, so he hurriedly ran back to his bedroom, and then sent all his internal force to his right index finger.

The ring on the index finger, to be exact!
