"Fortunately, they are sold separately."

After listening to this information, Cao Xin asked again: "How much silver does a village by Changxi Lake cost?"

“Some are expensive and some are cheap.”

Cao Ren took out a detailed list from his arms: "This is all the Ge family's properties that were split and sold by Sanyuanfang. The contents and prices are all marked."

Cao Xin took it and looked at it, calling it a good guy.

There are hundreds of items, ranging from dozens to hundreds of taels, to tens of thousands of taels. Preliminary visual inspection shows that the total value exceeds 200,000 taels.

And I don’t know if this is the entire property of the Ge family.

really.

It’s still the most profitable to open a casino!

Cao Xin sighed with emotion and did not go to see the shops or workshops. He only focused on the villages, fertile fields and fishing boats.

The Ge family has a total of sixteen villages in Changxi Lake. Some are large and some are small. The big ones are like the ancestral house. They are built in the shape of a cottage or a castle. They are bigger and more imposing than several Su mansions.

The smaller one is just an ordinary courtyard with three entrances and is surrounded by more than ten acres of fertile land.

Cao Xin cut off the beginning and the end and looked at several medium-sized ones. Zhuangzi can accommodate a few hundred people or a thousand people on a small one. It has more than a hundred or hundreds of acres of fertile land under its jurisdiction.

"Four to five thousand taels."

"If you don't exaggerate, it's not expensive."

Cao Xin is generally satisfied.

As time went by, the Cao family hired more and more people, and the business they operated became larger and larger, so they urgently needed a base.

First, it serves as a cover for a series of products in Cao Xin’s original fairyland.

Secondly, it can also bring these previously loose families together in one place and twist them into a rope.

Cao Xin has been planning and paying attention for a long time.

And Changxi Lake is the first choice.

"Currently, there are 38 households with a total of 164 people, old and young, in our family. After the inspection, there are still 31 households with 187 people to be included."

Cao Xin also took out a booklet and looked at the numbers of each household on it.

From July last year to August this year.

For a whole year, Cao Xin and Cao Ren did a lot of things. With the capital-free business of the 'Original Fairy World', they became prosperous. They worked steadily and have employed 38 families for a long time.

But this kind of business doesn't last long after all.

Cao Xin used conventional or unconventional means such as breaking it into parts, physically destroying it, etc., and kept it secret until now. It was only a matter of time before anyone noticed it.

He had previously asked Lu Damiao and others to enter the Yamen as errands, and after he failed to persuade Duan Chong to enter the embroidery department, he hurriedly started to set up an escort bureau.

In the final analysis, these actions are all due to the sense of worry brought about by this type of business without capital.

He needs power, backing, and force so that he can protect his own property.

And now.

The escort agency is on the right track, and Duan Chong's reputation spreads far and wide.

The Cao family finally has a backer.

But this is not enough.

In other words, this is just the first step.

While protecting yourself, you still need to be cautious. Therefore, the next step is to establish a stronghold outside the city to completely eliminate hidden dangers.

Before, I didn’t dare to rush out of the city to develop, but now with the ‘Juyi Escort Bureau’, it is finally possible.

That being the case, it's better to do it sooner rather than later.

The current incident in the Ge family in Changxi Lake is a great opportunity that cannot be missed.

…

"Four to five thousand taels, we can definitely get it. With the reputation of the uncle as a deterrent, and with the Juyi Escort Agency as our back, we are not afraid of Sanyuanfang or other forces coveting it."

"Let's take over a village in Changxi Lake and build a 'Caojiazhuang'."

"In the future, starting from this Zhuangzi and continuing to cultivate talents, one day we may be able to take over the entire Changxi Lake. In that case, our Cao family will be the next Ge family."

"Even stronger."

Cao Xin is too young to do many things himself, but he can plan them in advance.

Precisely because he was young and was so busy that he spent most of his time studying medicine and practicing martial arts, and still had some spare time, he was extremely passionate about management power.

Juyi Escort Bureau has just got on the right track.

The next step of ‘Caojiazhuang’ is already ready to go.

Be enthusiastic and never get tired of it.

…

"Changxi Lake?"

"Caojiazhuang?"

Ning Shuhua listened to Cao Xin's plan and couldn't find any loopholes for a while.

But she knew that although Huating County was also under Xijing Prefecture, it was not in Xijing City after all, and she was not familiar with the place. If she bought a village and went there rashly, there would be endless problems of one kind or another. Without enough strength and connections, it would be difficult to play.

Turn around, and finally run away in a gray and sluggish way. I am afraid that no bones will be left after being eaten by the locals.

"This must be done with caution."

"Your uncle's reputation has been quite high lately, but he can't do it to the extent that he can suppress all the gangsters with just one name, and he can't do it to the extent that he can ignore the human world and the unspoken rules."

Ning Shuhua shook her head, not very optimistic about Cao Xin's plan.

According to Cao Xin's story, Changxi Lake is rich in aquatic products and was previously monopolized by the Ge family. After the collapse of the Ge family, various properties of the Ge family in Changxi Lake were split and sold under the auspices of Sanyuanfang.

Buyers are not good people.

Just waiting to win one place and get the admission ticket, 'Changxi Lake' will be the 'battlefield' in the future. In order to monopolize the interests of Changxi Lake, we must fight to the death.

There are too many twists and turns here, and you will end up on the road if you are not careful.

Ning Shuhua does not recommend getting involved.

Furthermore--

"Your main task now is to study medicine and martial arts. See for yourself, how much have you improved in the 'Eagle Claw Kung Fu' since April?"

Ning Shuhua's face was stern, and she showed off her authority as a teacher.

She had always been indulgent towards Cao Xin, but after more than four months, she didn't understand the medical skills. However, Cao Xin had made only a handful of improvements in the 'Ning's Eagle Claw Skill', so she couldn't bear it anymore.

She endured it for four months.

Now that I saw that Cao Xin was not doing his job properly, I couldn't help but say a few words.

"Master."

Cao Xin blinked.

He could understand Ning Shuhua, but fortunately he was prepared: "My disciple made great progress in the Eagle Claw skill yesterday, so I will call Master to see."

"Ah!"

Ning Shuhua didn't believe it.

Cao Xin didn't say much and immediately opened up his posture.

Number one, take number two, surrender number three, and defend number four.

Sticky clothes and feel the pulse!

Divide muscles and bones!

Tap the acupuncture points and hold your breath!

An expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.

Ning Shuhua, who didn't believe Cao Xin's action at first, immediately stared. She had also practiced the 'Ning's Eagle Claw Technique' and had achieved some success, and the depth of her attainments in it could still be seen.

But I saw that Cao Xin looked particularly handsome today.

Crackling!

The sound makes the fist ring!

"Hit with fists and palms, then grasped with eagle claws. The fists were as dense as rain, and the whip was whipped quickly."

The strength method of 'Ning's Eagle Claw Kung Fu' is soft yet strong, with the belt and shoulders transmitting force through the eagle's claws. The movements are strong and powerful, and the strength is generated from the waist and formed in the hands. The technique is intensive and fast, and the strength is crisp and hard.

There is a boxing proverb that goes: "It is easy to learn boxing, but hard to practice."

The strength of the 'Eagle Claw Kung Fu' differs depending on the type of boxing. At the same time, the quality of the strength is an important factor in measuring the level of a martial arts practitioner.

And Cao Xin's control over the power method is now at a higher level than in the past few days.

If we say that at the beginning of April, Cao Xin was just getting started, but he was still just showing off.

So now, he has completed the first step of transformation and initially has actual combat capabilities.
Chapter completed!
