The Sunset Clouds Mountain was a barren mountain, and no one had any interest in it for more than ten years. When Xu San went to ask for the price, Liu Qingshuang, who was at the side of the city, flipped through the documents to find the location of the Sunset Clouds Mountain. After confirming that there were no minerals nor any other special uses there, he gave the entire mountain to Qin Wuya for 3,700 silver and immediately established a land contract.

The price of 3700 taels of silver to contract a mountain was not considered high, but it was certainly not cheap. After all, the Sunset Clouds Mountain did not have much output, it was a truly barren mountain, and even if it was left in the hands of the city officials, it would be useless.

However, the Prime Minister was quite shrewd. In addition to the land deed, he wrote another document.

The document stated that once minerals were found in the Sunset Clouds Mountain, regardless of what kind of minerals were used, they would all be owned by the Clear Water Town. As for Qin Wuya, the owner of the Sunset Clouds Mountain, he could only buy them at the same price as other people would have priority.

Or it could be said that if Qin Wuya had no intentions to mine, and the right to excavate the land would belong to someone else, Qin Wuya could sell the land deed to the owner of the right to mine at the price of three times the original price of the deed.

This treaty was actually a little deceitful, but Qin Wuya had never had the intention to start mining, so she wasn't afraid of being attacked by the Prime Minister.

Furthermore, if he was willing to die peacefully …. If this Sunset Clouds Mountain really had any mineral resources, and transferred the land deed to him at a price of three times the original price, Qin Wuya would not lose out.

That was a total of 11,100 taels. Besides his base of 3,700 taels, he had also earned 7,400 taels.

Even if Qin Wuya needed a large amount of manpower and materials to cultivate and cultivate the fruit trees on the mountain after contracting a contract with the Sunset Clouds Mountain, it would only be able to last him at most a thousand silvers. So no matter what, this transaction with Qin Wuya was not a loss, and she could still earn a lot.

Of course, it also indirectly meant that although Clear Water Town Zhen Cheng was a man with a lot of eyes and hearts, she was still a man with a fair character. Although this meant that Clear Water Town Zhen Cheng was a man with a lot of eyes and a lot of hearts, she was still a man who was fair.

However, Qin Wuya also understood that the main reason why she was able to submit a contract with a price three times was not because of how good the character of Clear Water Town's Cheng was, but because she was contracted by the Chao Chung Hall's hall master and her wife.

Although the officials and thieves from ancient times seemed to be irreconcilable, it was hard to say what kind of situation they were in privately.

How many officials were there in the Grand Dynasty? Even a mere official of the Clear Water Town could only be considered as a level nine sesame official, she only had a few bailiffs and two registers under her command, her annual salary was not even a hundred silver.

However, no intelligent person would go against the Chao Chung Hall on the surface. Furthermore, Qin Wuya did not want to rob them for free, she had actually given them money.

After obtaining the Sunset Clouds Mountain's land deed, Qin Wuya was naturally in a good mood. However, when she returned to the backyard and started to calculate the amount of money, she couldn't really smile anymore.

Excluding the real estate properties, the three thousand five hundred Li that he had taken out today, Qin Wuya had almost used up all of his wealth. Looking at his remaining two hundred silver taels, Qin Wuya felt a bit bad.

Ever since Zhang Shan brought the Chao Chung Hall Brothers and the Qing Gang Main Hall out of discord, the entire Chao Chung Hall could be considered Zhang Shan's private property.

However, Qin Wuya and Zhang Shan still treated the Chao Chung Hall's original properties as public property, as per usual. This account was also under the responsibility of Zhang Shan and He Feng.

As for Zhang Shan's previous private property, it was controlled by Qin Wuya, but this private property was taken care of by Qin Wuya. They could be considered as public accounts in the inner courtyard, and were left alone by Qin Wuya's own dowry industry for a while.

And this time, the one who bought Sunset Clouds Mountain's name on the deed was Qin Wuya's secret badge, so the silver should naturally be taken out from Qin Wuya's private debt.

This was Qin Wuya's own habit. Even if Qin Wuya had already married Zhang Shan, in terms of wealth, Qin Wuya had never intended to be confused.

Therefore, even if Qin Wuya were to manage the treasury in the backyard, the monthly expenses in the treasury would only be limited to the monthly expenses of Fu Xi, Fu Zhi, Madam Wei and the other four.

As for the other things he used, they were still Qin Wuya's private property, including the expenses that Qin Wuya had Xu San pay for.

Zhang Shan naturally knew all of these, although he was slightly dissatisfied with Qin Wuya's points, but seeing Qin Wuya's persistence in doing so, Zhang Shan did not say anything more. It was just that every time she purchased a private land, Zhang Shan would still pass the land deed to Qin Wuya to take care of.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the rules weren't too kind. The three thousand seven hundred liang of money spent on buying the Sunset Clouds Mountain this time was really forcing Qin Wuya's private money to the end of the line.

Although there should still be a lot of Qin Wuya's dividends on Manager Wu's account, but these dividends would only be paid at the end of the year, and it was only in the fifth month, so even if Manager Wu was easy to talk about, it would be embarrassing for Qin Wuya to ask for it.

However, if he did not ask for it, it would be impossible for him to use two hundred silver to develop Sunset Clouds Mountain into his ideal Orchid Villa.

Since he really could not, Qin Wuya could only focus on Zhang Shan's private property.

Although Qin Wuya did not like to use Zhang Shan's money to seek personal property. But at this time, rather than asking the Manager Wu for advance money, it was obvious that it would be more convenient for his man to borrow money first.

That night, Qin Wuya reported to Zhang Shan that she planned to buy an orchard and build another villa. After receiving Zhang Shan's approval, Qin Wuya then took the opportunity to tell him that she wanted to borrow money. Of course, she also mentioned the interest.

Qin Wuya was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her decision, but she did not expect her face to turn dark. The two had been married for more than a year, so Zhang Shan had long understood Qin Wuya's personality.

Although Zhang Shan had never been able to understand why Qin Wuya liked to differentiate between the two of them so clearly, she would naturally not be angry since she understood them.

"How is it?" Qin Wuya felt guilty when she saw Zhang Shan staring at him with a smile. However, although borrowing money was a bit embarrassing, she couldn't lose too much in terms of momentum. After all, she had to pay interest.

Thinking about it, Qin Wuya forced herself to remain calm: "One point of interest is not a small amount, I remember that you do not have the property to secretly put in any money, so my giving one point to you is not lower than the banks outside."

"You can pay for the capital as you wish. As for the profits …"

Zhang Shan squinted his eyes and smiled at Qin Wuya. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around his and leaned forward, pressing his thin and sexy lips next to Qin Wuya's ear.

"Why don't we return it now?"

Seeing Zhang Shan's current state, how could Qin Wuya not know what to think? She could not help but feel her ears turn red, and did not dare look at the scarlet red eyes in front of him.

With one hand against Zhang Shan's chest and the other pulling at his skirt, he gently bit his lower lip and said, "Don't be like this. At this time, Senior Cai is probably still packing up in the courtyard. He hasn't returned to his room yet."

"It's fine. Since Cai mama's old, her ears aren't that good." Zhang Shan chuckled, he extended one hand to grab Qin Wuya's hand and slowly moved it downwards …

Under the moonlight, the veil was thin, and the mandarin ducks intersected with each other. After a while, all that was left of her was a series of muffled murmurs and murmurs.

The next day, Qin Wuya woke up early, ate breakfast, and went to the wet nurse's room to see the child. Then, she went back to his room and started to calculate the silver on her account.

Although Qin Wuya had already planned to touch the silver on the public accounts yesterday, she still had to calculate it carefully no matter what she did. Although the money that came in and out of the public accounts had been a lot, most of it had been changed to land, so the amount of silver that she could actually use was only a thousand taels.

Normally, the areas that they needed to spend on the accounts were only for food and drinks, while the Zhang Family's backyard did not have many people, so the expenses were negligible, so Qin Wuya did not care too much about it.

Only, there was something different with regards to contracting out Sunset Clouds Mountain this time. Qin Wuya had spent so much effort to contract the entire Sunset Clouds Mountain, so naturally, she wasn't going to let them off scot-free.

However, if they were to move, it would definitely be a big commotion. Whether it was harvesting, planting, or even managing and maintaining the trees, they would all need to be looked at.

To put it plainly, all these manpower and resources were converted into silver and silver.

The amount of 1000 taels of silver in the public accounts was not little, but if he really wanted to move, he would have to be meticulous in his calculations.

The size of the Sunset Clouds Mountain was not small at all. Although Qin Wuya had already prepared to develop it in stages when she was looking at the terrain. However, even if it was a stage plan, it couldn't be lacking for the people in charge of protecting the mountain. After all, Qin Wuya did not want to be surrounded by Mu Village's villagers even before she could build her orchard villa.

"I need some people to protect the Sunset Clouds Mountain first." After the lunchtime diet left, Qin Wuya called Xu San over, and gave him the rough distribution of the Sunset Clouds Mountain that he had drawn beforehand, and asked: "How many brothers do you have under your command right now?"

"Excluding those who had left, there are about fifty people left." Xu San thought for a while and said.

Qin Wuya frowned slightly. Fifty people was really too little, but she could still barely use the initial maintenance.

Thinking about that, Qin Wuya pointed to the red dots on the map and said, "Gather these fifty people together tomorrow. Each group of five will be divided into ten groups. Five of them will take turns patrolling according to the locations indicated on the map I gave them. The other five teams will guard the entrance of Mu Village at the foot of the mountain on the west side, leaving one team to guard the entrance of Li Family Village on the north side. Before we start our work, we must not allow any outsiders into the mountains.

"Yes sir!" Xu San nodded, then asked, "Madam, are there not enough 50 people? Why don't I go ask the other teams?"

"We don't have enough manpower, but the initial fifty patrolling on the mountain is more or less done. As for the later steps …"

Speaking to this point, Qin Wuya paused for a moment to ponder before speaking again:

"How about this, tomorrow you will distribute the mission of patrolling the mountain, you can look for some of the other people, don't worry, I will pay according to the rules of the Chao Chung Hall, and will not treat our brothers unfairly.

Other than that, other than the brothers in Chao Chung Hall, you can go to each village and find me some farmers with strength enough to do simple farmland work. Remember, you can't find the people of the Li family village and the Mu Village. Go to the villages further away from the Sunset Clouds Mountain and look around.

"Oh right, there's still the blacksmith who needs to find a few more people to build the house."

"Madam wants to build the garden first?" Xu San was curious.

Qin Wuya laughed as she shook her head, "No, there's no rush about the garden. "Since we've recruited so many people, we should at least have a place to stay. We should build some houses and come out."

As he spoke, Qin Wuya pointed to a slightly flat piece of land on the map and said, "You should still remember this place."

"Remember, this place is flat and there aren't many trees. However, Madam said at that time that the length of the land was more than enough, but it was not wide enough for a garden. " Xu San thought for a while and said.

Qin Wuya tapped her two fingers on the left side of her chest lightly and smiled: "Right, this low level strip shaped building a garden naturally wouldn't work, but building a workshop couldn't be any better."

"What is a barrack?" Xu San was startled, he did not understand what Qin Wuya meant.

"Uh, the shed... "The workshop is, is..." Qin Wuya didn't know how to explain the modern vocabulary that came out of her mouth, but she still couldn't think of a suitable term to describe it.

What is a barrack? Isn't a barrack a dormitory?

Of course, Qin Wuya did not dare to say these words. She could predict that if she said them, Xu San would definitely ask her another question, "What's the dorm room?" This time, there were endless loops and loops.

I can't think of any way to explain it, so I just won't explain it.

Qin Wuya facepalmed, and then raised the volume to look at Xu San: "Ignore what the workshop is for now, you should find some people to clean up the workshop first, then get the craftsmen to build a row of low grade houses as soon as possible."

"Yes." Although Xu San had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask any further. He stuffed the distribution into his sleeves and left.

After Xu San left, Qin Wuya did not idle around either. According to the size of the Sunset Clouds Mountain, if they were in the modern era, they would probably be able to find a construction company to plan out a small mountain area.

However, right now, there was no precise size, no computer, and no CAD. Qin Wuya wanted to draw an overall plan of the manor and orchard based on the distribution map that she had copied from the Town Security Shangguan Family. This would take a long time.

It was already the end of May, and dry grape would fully mature by the middle of June, so there was not much time that Qin Wuya could use it for, at least within the next few days, she had to first draw out a rough map of the distribution of the areas, and then draw a detailed map of the grapes, in hopes that after Xu San had enough manpower, he could move the vineyard part of the map first.
