After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 352 Valley Basin

Yuan Man came to the farm, found the manager Cheng Fei, and told him his idea.

Cheng Fei looked at her in confusion.

"You mean you bought Guiding Mountain?"

Yuan Man looked at his expression and was a little confused. "What's wrong?"

Cheng Fei took a breath and said, "Didn't someone raise private soldiers in the valley basin between Guiding Mountain, Xifang Mountain and Zhongdao Mountain?"

"After the land was sealed and cleared, someone else occupied it again at the end of last year and built a house inside."

"It doesn't look like they are training, but I don't know what they are doing."

"Someone went up the mountain to hunt and saw it. He came back dead at home that night."

"Those who know about it don't dare to talk about it, for fear of being silenced. Now no one dares to go up these mountains."

Yuan Man frowned. She naturally knew about the training of private soldiers.

It is surrounded by mountains and there is really no way for anyone to enter except hunters.

Zhongdao Mountain is next to Zhongcheng.

"Yuan Yi, take someone to take a look."

"Yes." Yuan Yi did not show up, he just agreed and left.

Cheng Fei stared.

He knew that this was a secret guard.

Yuan Man thought for a moment and looked at Cheng Fei and said, "Take your people to start cleaning up this side of the manor, and then plant Chuanxiong."

"I'll arrange for someone to handle the rest."

Seeing that she looked calm, Cheng Fei thought that she had a backer who could deal with those people.

After all, anyone who has a secret guard must be of extraordinary status, and her secret guard is obviously not ordinary.

"Don't worry, it's just at the foot of the mountain." Yuanman pointed in the direction of Guiding Mountain.

"This mountain is so big, we only grow things on this side of the village, and nothing will happen if we don't interfere with the well water."

"Remember, hurry up and don't miss the planting time of Chuanxiong."

"I'll take care of things over there, you don't need to worry."

Cheng Fei looked at the place she pointed and nodded.

Yuan Man added: "We should plant Chuanxiong now, and start planting Coptis chinensis in early October."

“At that time, the valley was absolutely cleared out.”

"I will put the seeds in the other courtyard. When it is cleaned and ready to be planted, you can go to the other courtyard to get them."

“The planting methods will also remain there.”

Cheng Fei responded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand."

Yuan Man gave another instruction, "Remember, if anyone crosses the line or comes to hurt someone, inform me immediately."

"I will go to Zhongcheng soon."

"There will be someone special to check the accounts of this manor."

Cheng Fei nodded again.

Yuan Man returned to the inn and saw that Hui Chengyuan had not rested, so he told him about what happened in Guiding Mountain.

Hui Chengyuan was not surprised that she went there, but he was surprised that there were people who dared to work there.

"I'll ask Ling Feng to go and take a look."

Yuan Man shook his head, "I've asked Yuan Yi to take people there."

"I suspect that the conspiracy between the officials of Zhongcheng and the people of Song should be in that valley basin."

Hui Chengyuan took the map and began to look at it.

The gaps between the mountains are very large, which is indeed suitable for raising troops.

Besides, no one would go into the mountains except hunters.

Yuan Man leaned on him and looked at him, "That place belongs to Anguo and is under the jurisdiction of Lincheng."

"How about I buy that place?"

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "It's fine to buy it."

"However, after buying it, you can't leave it empty forever, otherwise someone will still miss it."

Yuanman thought about it on the way back.

"Remember Qingling Valley? I can also use it to grow flowers."

There are flower seeds in the exchange mall, and she chose some that are suitable for growing in this area.

This place is close to Lincheng and Zhongcheng, and Jingcheng is not far from here.

If we build a flower valley, business should be good.

"Do you think someone has already bought this place?"

Yuan Man's question left Hui Chengyuan silent.

"You can go to the Lincheng County Office and ask."

So he called Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, go find out if there is anyone who wants to buy that valley."

"Or, does the Lincheng County Magistrate know about this?"

Ling Feng obeyed the order.

He came back in the evening and gave the news.

The county magistrate knew that there were people in the valley, but he did not dare to investigate further.

After all, he was just a small county magistrate. Even if he found out that it was a prince or noble, he would not be able to defeat him.

"But no one has ever bought that piece of land."

After hearing this, Yuanman took out a handful of silver bills and asked him to take the silver bills to the county government to buy the land.

Ling Feng looked at the thick stack of banknotes and his eye twitched.

"Princess, there is no need for so much."

"I have inquired about it. An acre of land there costs about five taels of silver."

"That valley is about a thousand acres of land, and only six or seven thousand taels of silver will be enough."

The top note in her stack of silver notes was worth a hundred taels, so the whole stack was worth tens of thousands of taels.

Yuanman blinked and counted out a dozen or so for him.

"The rest, you can use to drink."

Ling Feng took it, glanced at Hui Chengyuan, and went to help her buy the land.

Yuan Man pointed at the map and said, "After buying it, it will be just right to enter from the Guiding Mountain."

"How about asking Baihu to bring Gu Cheng and the others to Lincheng?"

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Gu Cheng found some things. Once Yuan Yi comes back and confirms it, we will go to Zhongcheng."

"If we buy the valley, we won't have to worry about this."

Yuanyi didn't come back until the next morning.

"It's not about training private soldiers, it's about mining."

“It’s a gold mine.”

"I went in to check and found that it was Zhongdao Mountain that was dug."

"We started digging from the northwest. We seem to have only dug 20 to 30 meters, but we have already found something."

gold mine.

Yuan Man and Hui Chengyuan looked at each other. No wonder all the officials in Zhongcheng became traitors.

"Yuan Yi, can you tell how big the mine is?"

Yuan Yi shook his head. “The people guarding the mine are all good at martial arts, and there are quite a few of them.”

"From what I've heard from them, they seem to be from the royal family of Song."

Yuan Man stood up and said, "Let's go to Zhongcheng."

"This Zhongdao Mountain should have been bought by someone."

You can just pack up and set off at the inn you are staying in.

Yuanbao lay in front of the window and looked out.

"Mom, you left without even going shopping."

Yuanman picked him up and placed him on his lap.

"We are not here to go shopping, but to save people."

"When we get to Zhongcheng, you have to take good care of your brothers and sisters. Mom and Dad have things to do."

Yuanbao looked at Hui Chengyuan, who had been reading the memorial since he got on the carriage.

"Okay, I'll take good care of my brothers and sisters."

Hui Chengyuan smiled and raised his hand to stroke his head, but his eyes did not leave the folded paper.

Even though he was always away, the emperor would still have people send him reports of what was happening in Kyoto.

He also needs to watch it, otherwise if he is completely disconnected, something bad may happen.

After entering Zhongcheng, they did not stay in an inn, but instead lived in a small courtyard rented by Baihu.

This courtyard is a real small courtyard, a farmhouse courtyard with only three rooms.

Ling Yang and Ling Yun were not here, only Bai Hu was waiting for them.
