Chapter 30 Industry (2)
On the day of Jin Ling's thirteenth birthday, he rented this street-facing yard near the Xianshi Market in Shuangshixian Village.
No one celebrated his birthday. He used this matter and his first industry (if it was considered an industry) to declare his growth to the world.
The young man had already figured this out clearly.
For immortals, cultivation requires sufficient resource support. This is the main reason why most of the immortals in the world become disciples and vassals of major forces in the management class. With their own efforts, they cannot obtain sufficient cultivation resources.
Only by owning an industry that can continuously create wealth can one provide a steady stream of financial support for one's own cultivation.
The bricklayers were invited to renovate the dilapidated courtyard walls and roofs, the furniture merchants brought craftsmen and tape rulers to customize new furniture, the blacksmiths were invited to recast iron doors and various iron utensils, and the gardeners were invited to clean the weeds and replant the beautiful flowers and plants...
Du Ermao was left to supervise the work of the craftsmen, while Jin Ling rushed back to the forage yard before dark.
"Young Master, where is Ermao?" Seeing him coming back alone, Huo Bao asked.
Jin Ling simply talked about the trip to Xian Village this time.
"Young master, you have injured an immortal from an immortal village, sold the demon rabbit, got a good sword, met the Gu family, and bought a courtyard?" After doing so many things in one day, Huo Bao felt that this young man could do anything...
"From tomorrow, you go to that yard, oh, I call it Caoyuanju. You and Ermao take care of it, clean it up and keep it clean," Jin Ling said, handing him the written address, "This is the address of that yard."
"Where are you, Master?" Huo Bao asked.
"I am still a subordinate of Shuangshixian Village. I was assigned by the village owner to guard the forage yard, so I naturally have to stay and continue to guard it." Jin Ling said.
"Or why don't Ermao stay in the grass and grass garden and I will continue to help in the forage farm. In that way, you can practice with peace of mind," said Huo Bao.
"No need." Jin Ling said, "I am used to practicing alone with peace of mind. If you manage this Caoyuan House well, it is equivalent to helping me a lot."
After hearing what he said, Huo Bao nodded and agreed. In fact, he could not stand the miserable and lonely life in the forage farm.
"Your main job in Caoyuanju is to supervise the craftsmen to repair the yard and the street shops, and record the money they need. I will go back every ten days to pay the craftsmen once in a while and pay the money for all kinds of items, and then go to the Lingshi Escort Agency to pay the debt."
"Young Master, you just trust us so much?" Huo Bao said, "We are far away from this forage farm and away from you. Are you not afraid that we will run away with the money?"
"Didn't you swore to follow me?" Jin Ling said.
Huo Bao sighed: "Young man, you have always lived in this small village and have never seen the world outside. Outside, many people regard the most vicious oath as farts, and forget it when they turn around..."
"It doesn't matter. Just think clearly whether to leave or stay." Jin Ling said, "It's not good to force others to do something. I will never make things difficult for you."
After explaining their work to Huo Bao, Jin Ling nervously went to the trap group and made nervous arrangements for what tonight.
"This young master is really interesting." Looking at his back, Huo Bao thought.
Early the next morning, Huo Bao packed up his and Du Ermao's things, put them in the car, and went to Shuangshixian Village. After he left, the forage farm that had been disturbed by the two of them for a long time was calm again.
Jin Ling continued to skillfully register the forage in and out of the warehouse. When he was free, he practiced various martial arts and returned to the state before the two arrived.
Two days later, Du Ermao came back and reported to him that the renovation of Caoxiangtang was progressing, and everything went smoothly. Jin Ling paid some of the money left behind to the craftsmen in advance, and the rest was enough for daily expenses.
"That day, I beat the horse and said it was from the Hengdao Immortal Pin Store. Has anyone sent someone to seek revenge?" Jin Ling asked.
"No," Du Ermao said, "The fairy market is very close to the village owner's mansion. If he dares to make trouble, I will report to the official."
"Yes, if he makes trouble, you don't have the power of immortality. Don't conflict with him directly and secretly report to the village master's mansion." Jin Ling said.
"There is something else." Du Ermao said with a bitter face, "Brother Huo and I are always afraid that we will meet that employer in the fairy village. He hired us to set fire and kill people. If he meets us and recognizes us, he may kill us to silence us if he feels guilty, or it may be detrimental to us..."
"He dared not." Jin Ling said, "If we wanted to start, the remote place of the forage farm would have been long ago. How could it be in the market near the village owner's mansion?"
After hearing this, Du Ermao felt at ease.
......
Seven or eighth days later, it was the end of the tenth day. On this day, Jin Ling came to the Spirit Stone Escort Agency with a monster he had hunted last night.
The Lingshi Escort Agency is also located in the center of Shuangshixian Village, covering a very wide area. Sometimes, convoys of escort cars come in and out.
Under the leadership of the guard, Jin Ling came to a reception room in the escort agency.
"Mr. Gu is talking to someone in front of you, you can wait a moment." said the guard.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Guard." Jin Ling thanked him and waited here. After waiting for an incense stick, Gu Shaogang came.
"It's you." After seeing him, Gu Shaogang smiled, "It turns out that the first ten-year time has come, and you are convinced." Looking at the big pocket under Jin Ling's feet, "What's the one you bring?"
Unlocked his pocket and revealed a colorful magic pheasant.
"It's not bad." Gu Shaogang said, "This kind of stewed pheasant soup is very effective for those who practice immortals to warm and tonic." The servant of the mission took it and asked again, "It's not easy to catch it."
"Fortunately, it took some effort than the demon rabbit before." Jin Ling said, pointing to the underside of his left cheek and the place where his hands and feet were scratched.
Gu Shaogang was indeed shocked. The most difficult thing in the process of catching monsters was to discover them and leave them behind. Even landlords like the village master's mansion of Shuangshixian Village, who have so many immortals, can only count the monsters that can be truly captured in a year.
"This demon pheasant is more expensive than the previous demon hare, and its flesh is better. I count it as much as two hundred gold dollars." He said.
"Okay." Jin Ling Anran replied.
Gu Shaogang asked himself that he had seen countless people over the past thirty years, but he still couldn't see through the boy in front of him.
He said he was not an immortal. He clearly possessed the power of immortals, but he could still hunt monsters with one punch and cut off the horse and make him knee. He said he was an immortal, but he did not have any sign of the light of immortal power. He looked like an extremely ordinary boy next door.
"That sword is useless," Gu Shaogang asked.
"It's pretty good." Jin Ling replied, "As soon as this demon wild pheasant fell into the trap, he saw that it was wrong, and he wanted to flap his wings and fly. I rushed forward, broke the defense with a sword, and directly cut off its neck. If I only used fists and feet, it would not be as close as possible."
Gu Shaogang nodded, and a servant came to tea.
"I don't drink tea, I have wine." Jin Ling raised the small wine bag around his waist.
Gu Shaogang laughed, "I heard that you rented an old yard at the market?"
"You know this too?" Jin Ling said.
"How old is Shuangshixian Village? I, Mr. Gu, want to know what it is, and it doesn't take much effort." Mr. Gu, laughed, "Don't forget, you owe me a large sum of gold. If I don't know where you are, where will I ask for this money? Then, what are you going to do with this yard?"
"After paying back your money, I will start a business by myself." Jin Ling smiled, "Isn't it said on the mainland that cultivating immortals is cultivating money. No matter how good the immortals are, they can't go far."
"Haha." Gu Shaogang smiled again after being infected by this boy's honest words.
"Do you know how to do business?" he asked.
"If you don't understand, just learn slowly." Jin Ling said.
"Let's do this. A nephew has a few days to join me, half a boy. I don't want him to mingle with these stunners who have traveled all day long." Gu Shaogang said, "He is not strong, but he has a good idea in business. Let him go to your place to help."
Jin Ling did not answer, thinking about what Gu Shaogang meant.
