Chapter 155 Stone Canyon Ranch
Yan Fei left the imperial family and nobles brought back from Japan to the court. The Ming Dynasty had always been very harsh in treating these nobles from defeated countries.
At the beginning, some people suggested that all males over twelve years old beheaded, and those under twelve years old were imprisoned. However, all the female relatives were confined to the washing clothes bureau. However, the old antiques from the Ministry of Rites shouted that God had a good life, and the Emperor Ming conquered people with virtue, and wanted to be the king inside and the sage outside.
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen, who was not sure how big the Japan was, was impatient. He was originally unhappy with Yan Fei's merits. Now, seeing a group of people fighting for Yan Fei's merits, he simply ordered the 11-year-old emperor to be named An Lebo. As for the others, they all sent him to An Lebo's men to make a living. There were no other restrictions except that they could not leave Beijing.
The so-called Anlebo is just a short title. Not to mention that the court can hardly give out the titles and salaries of these nobles now, even if it can be given out, it will definitely not be able to support so many people.
This was inconsistent with what Yan Fei had promised before. These people hurriedly tried to find a way to send Yan Fei a message and asked Yan Fei to help at least achieve her previous promise to be a duke.
Yan Fei did not ignore it, he did respond.
However, Yan Fei's response made these people completely desperate. Because Yan Fei said that the emperor decided to grant titles, and he had no right to change them. However, if he had time, he would help tell the emperor about this matter. I don't know when he had time.
As for these people who have no source of life, Yan Fei said that you can support yourself if you have good hands and feet. Men can drive a car to fight for the night, and women can also wash clothes or go into the sea. No matter how you say you can support yourself, it is not that difficult.
Moreover, Yan Fei solemnly told them that according to the Ming Dynasty, they, as losers of the enemy country, should be the man beheaded by a woman and was infiltrated into the washing clothes bureau. They can still live a normal life and even get a title, which is the result of their own great efforts. Don’t be too greedy in life.
Yan Fei didn't care about the fate of these people, and he didn't care whether he was beheaded and sacrificed in front of the Taimiao or was named king and marquis. The life and death of these people in the Ming Dynasty were not important. What was important was that they could not go back to Japan until Japan became the real 11th District.
The army that went on the expedition was given a chance to take a vacation, and Yan Fei, as the commander, also wanted to give himself a vacation.
He arranged for Wu Shouye to deal with officials with IQ problems and asked Chen Xuan to make final preparations for marrying the princess in a few days. After arranging many various things, Yan Fei finished his work during this period and returned to the modern world.
The first thing Yan Fei did after returning to the modern world was to go to the warehouse of Guinea in Africa and open the space-time channel to transport the first batch of equipment transported by the Pacific United Railway Company to the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century. With these things, the railway can be started.
The subsequent equipment will be sent in batches. Although the distance between the Beijing-Tianjin Railway is not too long, it will take a long time to build it. The first batch of equipment has been used for a long time.
After doing this, Yan Fei went directly to Los Angeles. He used a business visa and could stay for a long time.
"You have been on a business trip this time for a long time." Yan Fei, who came to Los Angeles, did not go to find Tiffany because the woman went to work in Bangzi Country. Tiffany, who owed Yan Fei 20 million, worked very hard and wanted to pay off the debt. Yan Fei, who had just arrived at the hotel to take a rest, received a call from Mu Yunxin, "I haven't come back for such a long time?"
"Support a family, beautiful girl." Yan Fei smiled and joked, "It's not easy to support a beautiful woman like you."
"Take." Mu Yunxin on the other end of the phone snorted, "I'm not that cute, it's enough to have a saliva to drink."
"That's so simple?" Yan Fei lay on the bed, shaking his legs, "Then I have to place an order first."
"I think beautifully." A radio sound suddenly came from Yan Fei's phone. "Flight CA887 to Los Angeles is now checking tickets, please take..."
Yan Fei didn't hear the following words because the phone was obviously covered with the speaker.
"Okay, you know everything." A moment later, Mu Yunxin's helpless voice came from Yan Fei's phone. "I originally wanted to give you a surprise."
"It's indeed a surprise." Yan Fei smiled in his eyes, "I'm looking forward to it."
After the phone was hung up, Yan Fei lay on the bed and flipped the phone in his hand as if thinking about something. After a while, he dialed out Sister Li's phone number.
No one answered the phone after a long time. Yan Fei called Sister Li’s private number not the kind that was held in the hands of the agent.
If she didn't answer, she should be working. She is really a woman with a strong career aspiration. It seems that work is the meaning of life. Yan Fei took the initiative to contact her many times before she could make a phone call.
Yan Fei could even feel that Sister Li seemed to be deliberately alienating her, which made him frown involuntarily.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to have a good talk." Yan Fei put down the phone and got up to wash in the bathroom. He had been sweating all over before.
When Yan Fei walked out wearing a bathrobe and wiping his hair with a towel, his cell phone rang.
Yan Fei thought it was Sister Li who called, but after picking up her phone, she saw that the call was Brooks, CEO of Pacific United Railway.
"Hi, Brooks." Yan Fei connected his phone and said, "Is there anything to ask me for?"
"Hi, Yan." Brooks' voice came from his phone. "The latest news about what you asked me for inquiries last time."
Yan Fei was stunned at first, then suddenly realized. Last time he asked Brooks to help me find out if there are good pastures for sale in California so that he could spend the money he got from the Rattlesnakes.
"That's great." Yan Fei sat by the bed with a smile. "Is there a good farm for sale recently?"
"Chic's International Real Estate has a Stone Canyon Ranch in San Benito County for orders for sale." Brooks deliberately made friends with Yan Fei in order to take over the orders afterwards, because he knew very well that personal friendship with Chinese people is far more important than formal negotiations.
"How much?"
"The price of pending orders is $32 million." Brooks laughed. "I know several professional negotiators, and the price should be negotiated."
"Thank you." Yan Fei took the laptop and put it on his leg and opened it to check the relevant information. "I will call you when I decide."
Stone Canyon Ranch, located in San Benito County, covers an area of more than 10,000 acres. It has mountains, water and plains, and its scenery is beautiful and magnificent. It has vineyards, farms, equestrian halls, and pastures.
There are dozens of rooms, five bathrooms and seven living rooms in the living area. In addition, there are wine cellars, libraries, tennis courts, swimming pools, large garages, gardens, etc. The total area of the living area exceeds 8,000 square meters.
Looking at the photos and videos of the ranch on the Internet, Yan Fei immediately fell in love with it.
"Hi, Brooks." Yan Fei called Brooks again. "I have read the information and I am very satisfied."
"OK." Brooks responded with a smile, "Then I'll find someone to talk about the price for you."
"Wait a minute." Yan Fei looked at the night outside the window. "I have a friend who will come tomorrow morning. I want to take her over and talk to you in person. I want to ask you to help me solve related legal and tax matters."
"No problem." Brooks responded, "Foreign investment is welcome here in California, and these are not problems. If you decide to buy, I will find someone to help you solve these small problems as quickly as possible."
"Thank you, I have time to invite you to dinner."

"Do you two beautiful ladies need a driver?" Yan Fei picked up Mu Yunxin and Yu Xiaoxue at Los Angeles International Airport.
That's right, they were two women and they also brought their agents and assistants. Although Yan Fei's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Yu Xiaoxue holding Mu Yunxin's arm, he did not show any signs.
"Don't ask why we came together?" Mu Yunxin raised her smooth chin and looked at Yan Fei with her beautiful bright eyes.
"Just work." Yan Fei smiled and walked forward to avoid Yu Xiaoxue's hot eyes and hugged Mu Yunxin. "Isn't that the case last time I was in Paris? Is this the filming of a show or a pictorial this time?"
The intimacy with Yan Fei in public made Mu Yunxin's cheeks flush, but her eyes were filled with a strong sense of satisfaction.
"Photo a pictorial for a travel magazine." Yu Xiaoxue bit her rosy corner of her mouth lightly and resisted the urge to pounce into Yan Fei's arms. "It's only two days."
"Business will start today?"
"Tomorrow. Take a day to shoot, and the plane will go back tomorrow night." Yu Xiaoxue rushed to respond, and a look of grievance flashed in her bright big eyes.
She deliberately did not tell Yan Fei that she wanted to give him a surprise, and even thought of stealing people from her best friend. However, Yan Fei's performance told her that at least it was not the time.
"Okay." Yan Fei laughed, "Two beautiful ladies, please give me your time today. We want to take you to a place."
Naturally, Yan Fei and their relationship would not be refused. After letting the agent and assistant go to the hotel to rest on their own, the two women took the Porsche rented by Yan Fei.
"Where are you going?" After getting on the bus, Mu Yunxin asked about her destination curiously. Although she was a foreign country, she completely trusted Yan Fei and was not worried that Yan Fei would sell them.
"You will know when you arrive." Yan Fei smiled and started the Porsche, and the engine roared and roared on the road.
The highway network in California is well built, and San Benito County is not far from Los Angeles. Before noon, Yan Fei and the others arrived at the Stone Canyon Ranch.
"So beautiful!" Porsche stopped on the side of the hillside. After getting off the bus, Mu Yunxin and Yu Xiaoxue looked at the green waters and green mountains in front of them, the light mist between the mountains and forests, the white snow on the top of the mountain, and the blue and pure sky were all deeply attracted by it.
Working hard all day in a busy metropolis, it is indeed refreshing to come to such a spacious and beautiful place.
