Chapter 256 In front of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Danfeng Town
"Master Song!"
"Master Li Zheng!"
Shouts like this kept coming one after another, and Song Linqing responded with a smile. When he met a familiar merchant, he stopped and chatted enthusiastically.
It took more than a quarter of an hour to stop and go like this before arriving at my home in the middle of the town.
This is a magnificent house, with about five doors in front and back. It is considered luxurious even in this bustling town.
Not only that, Song Linqing recently purchased a new piece of land in the back, and planned to break ground and build a yard after the weather gets a little cooler.
All in all, although this town is not as vast and prosperous as Wanshou County, Song Linqing feels that staying here is more relaxed and comfortable. He can do whatever he wants and no one will care about him. It is very nourishing.
But it wasn't like this when I first came here.
Back then, Song Linqing, his sister and all his family members came all the way to Wanshou County to join the Song family.
It was okay when I first arrived. Not only was the old patriarch personally welcoming me, but the rest of the people were also very enthusiastic.
But after living there for a while, Song Linqing always felt awkward.
Because there is always a hint of hypocrisy in the enthusiasm of these people.
To put it bluntly, I don’t regard them as real family at all.
And as time goes by, this feeling becomes stronger and stronger.
Especially in the affairs of the clan, he didn't even get involved, let alone interfere.
There was nothing to do all day long. Although he had good food, drinks and hospitality every day, Song Linqing felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
In this situation, Song Linqing waited for an opportunity.
Li Zheng from Danfeng Town, under the jurisdiction of the Song family, returned home because he was old and comatose.
In other words, Danfeng Town was unmanaged at that time.
The rest of the Song family was unwilling to leave the bustling county and come to this remote mountain place, so they couldn't find a suitable successor for a while.
Under this circumstance, Song Linqing, who learned the news, immediately recommended himself and finally got the position as he wished.
It's just that when Song Linqing brought his sister and a group of men to Danfeng Town, the place was far less prosperous than it is now.
Because of the incompetence of the previous president, the commercial trade here was very sluggish, and even the medicine fields belonging to the Song family suffered losses year after year.
You must know that the fields near Danfeng Town are very fertile and the climate is very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials. In addition, with such a big tree as the Song family at the back, it stands to reason that there should be no losses under any circumstances.
But it just lost money.
Therefore, as soon as Song Linqing took office, he immediately began drastic reforms, eliminated a large number of moths, and sorted out the accounts over the years.
This move had immediate results, and soon these medicinal fields turned losses into profits.
At the same time, Song Linqing also strongly supported commercial trade, formulated many preferential policies, and even provided subsidies and tax reductions.
This move has attracted many merchants to Danfeng Town. When there are more merchants, there will naturally be more tourists. Under a virtuous circle, the commercial trade volume is also rising.
Therefore, in just two years, Danfeng Town became prosperous at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Song Linqing, who is an upright person, also received unanimous support and love from top to bottom because of these actions.
At this moment, Song Linqing returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tan Ziwang watering flowers under the eaves.
After these two years, Tan Ziwang has become much older.
As an old man who had followed Song Linqing's father back then, even Song Linqing respected him very much.
"Uncle Tan, are you watering the flowers?"
"Well, Master, look, the soil here is really nourishing. These flowers are blooming so well." Tan Ziwang said with a smile.
"Yes, this is indeed a treasure land." Song Linqing also said with a smile.
At this moment, he saw Tan Dong striding into the courtyard from outside. When he saw Song Linqing and his father standing under the eaves, he was so frightened that he stood still in a hurry, and then said breathlessly.
"Master, father!"
Tan Ziwang glared at Tan Dong angrily.
"You're not young anymore, why are you still so irritable in your behavior?"
Tan Dong felt a little aggrieved, "Don't I have something important to do? Head of the family, this is the letter I just got from the letter cart. It's for you."
"For me?"
Song Linqing took the letter and opened it, a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Master, what's wrong?" Tan Dong asked quickly when he saw this.
"It's nothing, it's just that some toads are wishful thinking and always plan to eat swan meat."
After saying this meaningless sentence, Song Linqing turned around and left.
Tan Dong was a little confused, so he turned around and asked, "Father, what's wrong with the head of the family?"
Tan Ziwang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't know. You'd better not ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
Then Tan Ziwang asked again.
"Why did you go to the mail truck again today? Did you go to see if there was any letter from Xiaoya again?"
"Yeah." Tan Dong nodded, and then said with some disappointment.
"In the end, there is still no news at all. Father, do you think Brother Zhao has forgotten us?"
"Of course there is no news. The world is in chaos these days, and communications between counties have been cut off, let alone Yunxiao County, which is so far away from us."
"Don't worry, Xiaoya is a caring person and will never forget us. Maybe we will meet again soon." Tan Ziwang said.
In fact, he didn't know what he was saying.
Because Dayan is now actually divided into pieces. Unless it is a huge caravan or you are very powerful, it is almost impossible to travel between counties.
The consequence of this is that the inn system has completely disappeared, and each county has become an independent kingdom.
In this case, for ordinary people, once they are separated, it is almost forever.
Although Tan Ziwang knew that Zhao Ya was no ordinary person, it was still unimaginable for him to travel such a long distance to Wanshou County alone.
Tan Dong also knew that his father was comforting him, but he still felt better.
Everything in Danfeng Town is fine, but it's just too boring.
Although there are Goulanwa shops in the town that specialize in serving merchants, they are too small after all. There are only a few faces here and there. After going there a few times, Tan Dong felt that it was boring.
Therefore, he missed the days of escorting Zhao Ya very much.
Even though my strength was low at that time and I didn't have much money, my life was wonderful at that time.
Unlike now, when I open my eyes every day, I am just bored.
At the same time, Song Lin Qingye had arrived at the backyard door.
This is a separate courtyard. There are layers of barriers between the courtyard doors, so no one can enter at all.
It is Song Linqing's sister Song Peiwan who lives here.
Song Linqing stood in front of the door and adjusted his mentality. A smile appeared on his face before he walked into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the house.
Song Linqing was not in a hurry to go in, but stood in the courtyard and listened quietly until the song ended.
Song Linqing clapped his hands gently and said, "Okay, sister, your piano skills are getting better and better."
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
"Brother, why are you free to come here today?" Song Peiwan raised her head from behind the desk, her face was beautiful and refined without any makeup, but she had a unique temperament.
"Haha, I have nothing to do today, so I came over to take a look." Song Linqing said with a smile.
But soon he was defeated by Song Peiwan's cold eyes.
"Actually, it's something. A letter came from the county today."
"What letter?"
"It was written by an elder in the clan. He said that you are not young anymore. He happened to have a relative about the same age as you. He asked if he was interested. If so, he was willing to talk about this..."
Before Song Linqing could finish speaking, Song Peiwan said decisively: "Go back to this so-called elder directly. He doesn't have to worry about my affairs, and it's not his turn to introduce men to me."
Although he had expected this result, Song Linqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Song Peiwan's flat refusal.
In fact, he wanted to just tear up the letter and pretend that it never happened.
But then I thought about it and decided to ask.
After all, things like this will happen more and more in the future. If you don’t understand your sister’s thoughts in advance, it will be difficult to deal with them directly in the future.
In fact, Song Linqing understood better than anyone else that this letter was just a test.
Under the guise of proposing marriage for his sister, he actually covets the increasingly prosperous Danfeng Town.
In fact, Song Linqing had already expected this.
After all, he came back from outside the country. Although he was indeed a member of the Song clan, he didn't have any deep feelings for his clan members.
Now that he has such a small town that can create huge profits in his hands, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.
Just because they belong to the same clan, these people can't get things done, so they set their sights on Song Peiwan, intending to gain both personal and financial benefits.
"Okay, I understand. If something like this happens again in the future, I will refuse it directly for you." Song Linqing said.
The brother and sister then chatted for a few more words, and then Song Linqing left.
After he left, Song Peiwan sat behind the desk in a daze.
She didn't even notice when the maid Xiaoman came bringing tea.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoman asked worriedly.
"Oh, it's okay. My brother just said that someone in the clan wants to marry me." Song Peiwan said.
"What? These bad guys have actually set their sights on you, Miss?" Xiao Man said angrily.
Even though Xiaoman is just a little maid, she still has a little bit of heart, and she understands what's going on as soon as she hears it.
"Miss, you don't have to be too angry about this. The master of the house loves you so much, and he will definitely not let those guys succeed." Xiaoman comforted.
Song Peiwan smiled, "I'm not angry, I'm just wondering what he is doing now."
Although he didn't say his name, Xiaoman had been following Song Peiwan since he was a child. How could he not know who he was referring to.
"Miss, I guess Commander Zhao must have succeeded in cultivation now, and he might be on his way to us!"
Song Peiwan did not say a word, but had a lonely look on her face.
Xiaoman was a little anxious.
She knows her young lady's temper very well.
Normally he is fine no matter what, but once he encounters a knot that cannot be solved, he will not cry or make trouble. He will just sit there with a lonely look on his face, which is very distressing.
"What I said is true, miss. I have a very good mouth. When my mother was still alive, she said that I was a poor person with a noble mouth. Not only did I choose what to eat, but my words were also frighteningly effective."
Song Peiwan was so amused that she burst into laughter, then spat.
"Bah, nothing formal."
Xiao Man was having fun, but his heart finally relaxed a little.
What she feared most was that Song Peiwan was sitting there in a daze like a piece of wood.
At the same time, Song Linqing arrived at the courtyard at the core.
This place is heavily defended. Almost all of the remaining black armored troops who followed Song Lin to Wanshou County during the Qing Dynasty are stationed here.
Of course, the number of these black-armored troops is much smaller now than when they first came to Wanshou County.
This is because after many people arrived in Wanshou County, some of them were demoralized by the death of their colleagues and chose to leave on their own.
Others were won over by other forces.
But no matter what the reason was, Song Linqing did not stop them, but allowed them to leave.
This is because Song Linqing understands the truth that forceful melons are not sweet, especially in the team that needs loyalty the most.
If someone has a different intention but does not leave, the hidden danger will be even greater.
At least after this training, the remaining black armored troops are now the best among the best, and they are absolutely loyal to Song Linqing.
"Master!"
The black-armored soldiers guarding the door stood straight and saluted.
Song Linqing nodded pleasantly, and then walked into the courtyard.
There is a cave inside. There is a pergola above the yard to protect it from wind and rain, and under the pergola are small meat fields.
Someone was busy inside at this time.
This was Song Linqing's greatest confidence and an important reason why he was able to develop Danfeng Town into such a prosperous place in a short period of time.
Meat farming.
"Master." Song Renqiang, who was in charge of the meat field, hurriedly greeted Song Linqing when he saw him coming.
"Well, how was the output today?"
"It's very good, especially the recently purchased exotic meat fields that have produced high-grade dried meat." Song Renqiang said.
Because it is backed by the extremely vast Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, there are many meat fields for all kinds of exotic beasts.
Relying on this convenient condition and unique breeding technology, Song Linqing accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years.
"Okay, remember to reward those who cultivated those exotic meat fields."
"I understand." Song Renqiang nodded.
It can be said that apart from the black armored army, these meat field farmers are Song Linqing's greatest wealth.
Song Linqing never hesitates to reward such talents.
And just when Song Linqing was inspecting his farmed meat field, two people walked up the mountain road leading to Danfeng Town.
The person walking in front was a heroic man, followed by a pretty girl.
When they arrived at Danfeng Town, the two stopped in their tracks, and then Zui'er couldn't help but come forward and asked with some excitement: "Brother Xiaoya, is this here?"
Zhao Ya nodded, "It should be right here."
That's right.
The visitors were none other than Zhao Ya and Zui'er.
After they dealt with the Five Poison Sect, they headed eastward without encountering any obstacles.
I finally arrived at Wanshou County yesterday, but after entering the county, I found that Song Linqing and the others were not here at all, but in Danfeng Town, a hundred miles away.
So after resting for a night, Zhao Ya led Zui'er here without stopping.
There are some glitches and the update is late. I’m really sorry.
