The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Chapter 212 The Lady is also a Butcher 10

"Oh? What's the reason?"

"It is said that there is a group of bandits nearby. People are afraid that the manor they bought with great effort will be robbed again and again by the bandits. This is not a big deal. The government came to suppress the bandits before, but they couldn't do anything about them."

Ming Huaixi thought it was nothing, just some bandits. When she had time to clean them up, this place could become her pig farm.

The pigs in ancient times were small and smelly. Once she makes some changes and raises them scientifically, it will definitely benefit the people here.

"I want this place. I'm not afraid of bandits coming."

"Have you thought it through?" asked the one-eyed man. Although this place was good, he had to explain the situation here clearly. If he still wanted it, he would respect that.

Ming Huaixi nodded to indicate his confirmation.

"This farm is five hundred taels."

Ming Huaixi really didn't expect the price of five hundred taels. Such a big manor only cost five hundred taels. This was really a huge profit. A similar manor would cost at least one thousand five hundred taels. With the buff of the capital, it would cost two thousand taels.

I didn't expect it to be so cheap here because of the bandits. This is really a great bargain.

After visiting Zhuangzi, the two returned to the capital. When they got back to the inn, Ming Huaixi took out five hundred taels of silver notes that he had exchanged last time and gave them to Duyan, asking him to help with the government procedures. He also gave him an extra fifteen taels of silver as a fee for his errands and handling expenses.

By the way, ask him to help keep an eye out for suitable butcher shops.

The one-eyed man really doesn't have any. The meat business requires attention to the flow of people, and needs to find a place with a good location. Now all the good locations have been bought up early, and there is really no news of any sale.

Ming Huaixi was not in a hurry. The pigs had not been raised yet, so why was he in a hurry?

Now that the title deed was in hand, Ming Huaixi took the three siblings and Xiao Jinglan to the new house.

"Sister-in-law, will this be our home from now on?"

Yunsheng looked at this beautiful house and couldn't believe it. It was much better than their previous home. It was like a dream.

Ming Huaixi rubbed Yunsheng's head and said, "Yes, this will be our home from now on. Come in and see if you like it."

Ming Huaixi pushed open the door and walked in with a few people. Perhaps they were unfamiliar with this place, so they were still a little reserved. They looked left and right, and were full of curiosity about everything here.

"Look and choose which room you like. There are many rooms, one for each person."

As soon as Ming Huaixi spoke, the two younger ones, Yun Qinglian and Yun Haocheng, immediately became alert and ran to the yard to find the rooms they liked.

Yunsheng was still a little reserved, Ming Huaixi smiled at him and said, "Second brother, you should go too."

Of course Ming Huaixi lived in the main courtyard. Xiao Jinglan lived with Ming Huaixi, and they also chose the other courtyards they liked.

Ming Huaixi felt it necessary to buy two more servants, otherwise such a large house would be difficult to manage. And Yunsheng and the others would also need an attendant to accompany them.

Ming Huaixi plans to go to Duyan again tomorrow to check it out. The brokerage firm does more than just real estate agency, it also does human trafficking, and it's all legal.

Since they had just settled in and were not familiar with the surrounding situation, they had to go out for dinner tonight. Ming Huaixi planned to buy a firewood cook so they wouldn't have to go out for dinner in the future.

He also had to hire a teacher for Yunsheng and the others, and set up a school. After Ming Huaixi listed all this, he suddenly felt that there was a lot to do, but there was no rush, he could just take it slow.

Ming Huaixi was a man of action, so he went to Duyan the next day and picked a few people. There was a family of three, one of whom was a cook. Her husband was an accountant, and they had a daughter. They were originally servants of the general's mansion.

However, because they had offended their cousin, the lady was kind enough to sell off the three of them without any other punishment, which was already very kind.

Ming Huaixi also picked two maids and two followers. One maid followed her and the other followed Yun Qinglian. The followers were assigned to Yun Sheng and the others. She also bought two guards, intending to have them guard the gate.

The staff has been fully staffed, and the next thing is to send Yunsheng and the others to school.

This requires careful inquiry. A good teacher can help students reach their potential. Even the dumbest students can become normal with the guidance of a good teacher.

In addition, Ming Huaixi also plans to hire a martial arts master to teach them some skills to strengthen their bodies.

They had just arrived in the capital and had no idea where there were any good teachers or schools, so they could only write a piece of paper similar to a recruitment notice and post it at the entrance of a busy street to ensure that someone would see it.

Sure enough, someone came looking for this

Following the address, a man with pockmarks on his face who looked like a scholar came over.

"I heard that you were looking for a teacher, madam. What do you think of me?"

Ming Huaixi didn't feel very good, but he still asked about the necessary procedures, "Did this young man pass the exam to obtain any title?"

The man immediately became proud, "I passed the Tongsheng exam when I was 18 years old."

Ming Huaixi was stunned. Is that it? After all this time, he is not even a scholar. What is he proud of? Now he looks like he has at least passed the imperial examination. Is he proud of being an older student?

"Sir, you may not meet my standards."

Ming Huaixi directly rejected his idea. What? People like this are really scary. They never know their own worth.

"Why don't you hire me? Are you a liar?"

The pockmarked man started shouting as soon as he heard the rejection.

Ming Huaixi really regretted not telling a fortune today. He ignored the man's shouting and asked the newly found security guard Wang Wu to drag him out.

Soon after that another person came over. This person looked quite dignified, but his steps were unsteady, and it was obvious that he often frequented brothels.

Ming Huaixi rejected him directly without asking him. It was really annoying. He met several people and was not satisfied with any of them.

Thinking that it could not be found there, Ming Huaixi was just about to send someone to tear the paper down when a scholar came to the door.

The man was wearing a blue shirt with some small patches on it. He had a handsome appearance, but perhaps he was not very familiar with promoting himself, so he bowed to Ming Huaixi in a somewhat reserved manner.

This person... Ming Huaixi looked at the person in front of him. He had a literary aura. Literary aura was a very mysterious thing. People who taught and educated people had a certain probability of having it. But this person didn't look like someone who was already a teacher, right?

What’s going on with this literary style?

"What honors did you obtain in the examination, young master?"

"I am not talented, I am just a scholar now."

Juren??? How can he say that he is a juren and that he is nothing?

"With your talent, you should study hard and take the imperial examination next year. Why did you think of becoming a teacher?"

This person may have adapted to it and was no longer as reserved as at the beginning. "I can't take part in the imperial examination next year. My mother just passed away. I have to observe mourning for her for three years. Besides, my family is poor, so I should find a job."
