Yu Yalan traveled by carriage for three days before finally choosing the location to build the villa.

The terrain of Liuhe Mountain is very dangerous, but the soil is fertile and the vegetation is lush, making it very suitable for the construction of large-scale villas with high concealment.

And Yu Yalan especially likes the name of this mountain, Liuhe Bahuang, Qiankun Universe. Its mountain shape is as majestic and majestic as its name, which makes people suddenly enlightened and high-spirited.

Li Bai also has a poem that goes: "The king of Qin swept Liuhe, how majestic the tiger looked!"

I hope they can start a new life journey here, and I also hope Song Xi can get over her sad past and use this as a starting point to create a wonderful future of her own.

After deciding on the address of the villa, Yu Yalan immediately went to the government office to express her intention to buy the mountain.

The prefect Xu Yongnian was surprised and worried that his younger brother and sister would regret this choice.

"Liuhe Mountain is indeed a natural position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but its terrain is complex and steep. It will be extremely difficult to build houses on it. How about you think about it again? There are actually some flat mountains in Yanzhou. It's really not possible.

You can go to other state capitals and have a look.”

Yu Yalan was very determined, "Mr. Xu, Liuhe Mountain is the best choice. I have surveyed other mountain ranges, and there is no place more suitable than Liuhe Mountain. Its uniqueness and steepness are precisely my favorite advantages. Others

It may not be possible to build, but I can solve all difficulties."

Seeing that she was resolute, Xu Yongnian said nothing more and directly took out the map and documents and asked Yu Yalan to delineate the desired area.

Since she can create magical and weird puppet pills, she must also have unique methods for building mountains and buildings. Xu Yongnian is willing to believe in her ability, but she must tell her in advance if she needs to give instructions.

"You are not familiar with the place in Yanzhou. If you need to find a builder to build a house, you can come to me for help. I know what kind of skilled craftsmen there are in Yanzhou Prefecture."

Yu Yalan handed him the completed map and nodded to accept the kindness.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yongnian glanced at the map of most of the enclosed mountains, and was a little surprised at the other party's boldness. However, he did not continue to dissuade her, but simply completed the land deed for her.

Yu Yalan spent a total of 16,000 taels of silver to buy most of Liuhe Mountain. This price is actually not expensive, because the area of ​​Liuhe Mountain is very wide. She can build and develop as she likes, even building a private military camp in the mountain.

question.

After buying the mountain land, the next step is to open the mountain and build it non-stop.

Yu Yalan directly activated the construction team recommended by Xu Yongnian and asked them to build a high wall around the border of their area.

When the wall is completed, she will directly use construction robots to dig into the mountains and build buildings, thereby shortening the time required to build the villa.

After all, manpower simply cannot complete her design in a short period of time, and the participation of outsiders is not conducive to protecting the secrets of the villa, and may even leave many security risks.

Yu Yalan is gradually getting back on track, and the construction of the villa is in full swing.

Yu Hongxuan turned to establish a Salesian Academy and a free school, and started buying land and building houses with Mu Yang and Chi Xue.

Suddenly everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the pace of life accelerated a lot. The houses in the city were often empty, and even the secret guards left early and came back late.

…

On this day, Yu Yalan had just returned from supervising the work at Liuhe Mountain. Before she could have a cup of hot tea and rest, the concierge notified the shopkeeper Chen of Mipu that she was visiting.

Yu Yalan met the anxious shopkeeper Chen in the flower hall and listened to his report on the unexpected incident at Mipu.

At noon today, Yanzhou tycoon Tong Xianping and a group of thugs broke into the Yu family's rice shop. Without saying a word, they snatched away all the food. Then they ordered people to smash the shop into a mess, and also destroyed several small pieces of the rice shop.

The workers were also beaten to serious injuries.

The other party threatened shopkeeper Chen that he could no longer sell grain at a fair price, and asked the Yu family to hand over all the inventory of the rice shop within three days, otherwise they would have their necks washed and left to die, and the Yu family would no longer have a foothold in Yanzhou.

.

Shopkeeper Chen was so panicked that he immediately sent the injured worker to the Jiren Medical Center next door. He hurriedly cleaned up the mess in the store, and then anxiously came to the Yu family to report the situation.

Yu Yalan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "First, you can temporarily close the rice shop, put up a sign to inform everyone of the closure of business, and make arrangements for the injured workers. I will handle Tong Xianping's matter."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately agreed and left the Yu family with a worried look on his face.

Yu Yalan ordered Hanshan and Luozhou to investigate the matter and get a clear understanding of Tong Xianping's background.

The other party was blatantly intimidating and robbing, so he must have someone to rely on behind him, but I don't know what confidence this person has to dare to be so domineering and arrogant under Xu Yongnian's rule?

Tong Xianping's identity was actually not complicated, and Han Shan and Luo Zhou quickly found out the information.

The other party was the younger brother of Yanzhou Guard Commander Tong Zhitong Ziliang. He ran many grain shops and restaurants in the local area and was the most notorious gentry and merchant in Yanzhou.

With the connivance of his brother Tong Ziliang, he used to amass money in Yanzhou, suppressed competitors, and robbed other merchants' properties. Even Xu Yongnian had a headache for him.

In Yanzhou Prefecture, if Xu Yongnian is the most powerful civil servant, then Duan Zhenjun, the commander of the Yanzhou Guard, is the most powerful military commander. Civil servants and military commanders belong to two systems and have no authority to interfere with each other. The prefect can only do so during special periods.

Calling Yanzhou Guards cannot control them at ordinary times.

Duan Zhenjun was naturally aware of the domineering nature of the Tong brothers, but as his direct superior, he had no control or restraint, so Xu Yongnian had no power to punish them.

In particular, the Tong brothers acted very carefully and destroyed all personal and material evidence. Even if they knew that they were the initiators of many tragedies, they could not be arrested without evidence.

After the drought, Tong Xianping hoarded grain in Yanzhou and then sold it to ordinary people at high prices, thus making a lot of national wealth. Although he was angrily reprimanded by Xu Yongnian many times, he still did not change his mind and did whatever he wanted with Tong Ziliang's power.

Other grain merchants in Yanzhou had to sell their grain at the Tong family's price, regardless of whether they wanted to or not. Whoever dared to disobey Tong Xianping's order would have people break into the store, smash it, loot and burn it, and even secretly send people to massacre the entire family.

, the numerous evil deeds are heinous.

The emergence of the Yujia rice shop has hindered the interests of many grain hoarding merchants, and selling rice at low prices has had a huge impact on the Tong family's business. The owner of the teahouse opposite saw this and directly smeared the Yu family to Tong Xianping.

Mi Pu encouraged the Tong family to deal with the Yu siblings.

Yu Yalan learned that it was Boss Wang of the teahouse who was secretly causing trouble, and disgust flashed in her cold eyes.
