"Benefactor, I just counted. We have a total of forty pure gold cakes, twelve gold cakes, four thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and forty bolts of silk and satin. As for brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, books, bows, swords, and horses, they are not included."
Mu The Younger walked out of the house hurriedly and reported to Hong Yi the results of his inventory.
Now that Hong Yi had settled down, the most important thing for a family was to take care of their finances. If the finances were not taken care of, the family would be destroyed sooner or later.
Hong Yi's current money, half of it was bestowed by Consort Yuan, and the other half was the congratulatory gifts given by a few High Scholars of the same year, amounting to more than three thousand taels of silver. The other one thousand taels of silver was taken from the Marquis's Residence when he left.
After Zhao Han was taken care of, all the money naturally belonged to Hong Yi.
Hearing the calculated wealth, Hong Yi calculated and nodded, "Tianyang, when you go to the city later, take a few bolts of silk and satin and make a few sets of clothes to wear. Let's stay here for a month or two. First, we need to recuperate our energy and stamina. Second, we need to find a chance to buy land and a house. We need to build a family first. "
"That's right. Although benefactor has a few thousand taels of silver, he has nothing left. We need to plan and plan. We need to have some income. Also, our benefactor is a High Scholar. With just the three of us serving him, it's not enough. Why don't I make a plan and ask around the surrounding villages to see if there's anyone willing to sell themselves as a servant? "Shen Tianyang also began to plan.
"That's not necessary. The people who follow me must be trustworthy. I don't want another Zhao Han to appear. "Hong Yi shook his head.
Although he had the status of a High Scholar, there would definitely be people who would sell themselves to him in exchange for tax exemptions. However, Hong Yi did not want to be surrounded by messy people.
He had read many family maxims and naturally understood that in the beginning, he had to surround himself with trustworthy people.
After Shen Tianyang, Shen Tiezhu and his son, and Mu The Younger captured and killed Zhao Han and completed the naturalization documents, Hong Yi was completely at ease. They were trustworthy family members.
This was also the capital for Hong Yi to fight against the Zhao family and his father, Hong Xuanji in the future. Although it was still very weak now, it would definitely grow stronger step by step like a rolling snowball.
"However, this income will be a problem in the future. I don't know how to run a business. I only have a few thousand taels of silver on me now. I can still spend it for a year and a half, but in the future, I will be strapped for cash."
After setting up his own family, Hong Yi began to think carefully. There were really a lot of problems. A family of four, plus the horse's food and drink, expenses, and money flowed out like water every day. It was a big problem.
"When it comes to money, I can't think of a good solution in a short period of time. I can only take it slow. I should first increase my strength before anything else. I will stay in this Jade Capital Monastery. Even if Madam Zhao wants to send assassins to kill me, she will have to be wary of Fang Xiandao's Daoist. I will stay here for a few months and break through my strength. If I can use the Blood Pattern Steel Needle freely, I will not have to be afraid of experts like Zhao Han. "
Hong Yi secretly made up his mind and turned to Mu The Younger and said, "Mu The Younger, I still have a fine steel long sword. It is a reward from the palace. Although it is not as good as Shark Cutter, it is still sharp. Take it to protect yourself, but remember not to bring it out, or else it will be easy to be investigated. Also, the three of you, spend some money. Each of you will have a horse. If there is an emergency, you can leave immediately. "
Although the Charcoal Horse was worth a thousand taels of gold, it was a famous horse. Other strong ordinary horses in the world could be bought for at most 20 taels of silver.
Each of the four of them had a horse. If there was an emergency, it would be much more convenient. Hong Yi's idea was also very thoughtful.
"This old man is also quite proficient in raising horses. I also have a good eye for horses. I can guarantee that this matter will be done properly."
Old man Shen Tianyang nodded and rubbed his hands.
After everything was discussed, Shen Tianyang went out to do his work.
"Mu The Younger, Iron Pillar! Let's practice martial arts! Show me all the fist techniques that you have learned. "Hong Yi turned around and said.
"Okay!" Shen Tiezhu answered in a low and muffled voice. Suddenly, he knocked his staff against the ground and used the Ape Demon Divine Staff.
In the beginning, the rod was still flying up and down, and the wind was only whistling. However, as time went on, the air was filled with the rod's shadow. Hong Yi could almost smell the burning smell of iron from the friction between the rod and the wind.
Bang!
This huge rod fiercely slammed into the ground, and the entire ground seemed to jump up.
Shen Tiezhu put away the rod and stood up. He only slightly gasped for breath, and his complexion returned to normal, showing his strong physical strength.
Hong Yi walked over and held the rod in his hand. He felt that it was abnormally heavy, as if he was using an eighty-kilogram Tuo Mu Ox Tendon Bow.
After trying to wave it twice and making two moves, Hong Yi felt his back ache and his hands were numb, not to mention using it to hit people.
"Benefactor, this rod is ninety-eight kilograms. I can only swing it now and can't reach the level of being impervious to water. I heard from the people in the village that the monk Yin Yue of the Daizen Temple has cultivated the Ape Demon Divine Rod to the highest level. He can use the Dragon Locking Iron Pillar as if it was wrapped in an iron ball. Dozens of people used buckets of ink to splash it, but it was all deflected by the rod. Not a single drop of ink could stain his body. He is really possessed by Buddha. "
"The Dragon Locking Iron Pillar?" Hong Yi was shocked.
The wells dug by the big families, temples, and Daoist temples were big and deep. Some ancient wells were connected to spring water, and they kept fish, turtles, and other animals in them. They were afraid that people would poison them. But after hundreds or thousands of years, they were afraid that demons, flood dragons, and water monsters would be born. They had to use iron to build a pillar that was as thick as a person's waist and thigh and as tall as two or three people. There were talismans carved on it, and it was placed beside the well to suppress the flood dragons and seek peace of mind.
Hong Yi had seen such a pillar in Marquis Wu Wen's residence. Dozens of people had to use ropes to pull it, but the monk Yin Yue of the Daizen Temple could actually lift it alone and swing it so well that ink couldn't stain it? What kind of divine power was this!
Hong Yi was horrified just thinking about it.
"The Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength has a total of three forms. I will teach you all of them in the next few days. When you have mastered them, I will teach you the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging. When you have mastered them all, I will teach you the Spirit Turtle's Breath Technique. I guarantee that you will have bronze skin, strong bones, and iron organs.
You will be innately powerful, "Hong Yi encouraged Shen Tiezhu.
"What? Benefactor, you know the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging? "As expected, Shen Tiezhu became excited when he heard this.
He was currently in the Martial Warrior realm. Although he was talented and could compete with Martial Masters, he did not have any superior skills. It was difficult for him to advance further.
But now that he had learned advanced skills, his skills could improve by leaps and bounds!
"Spirit Turtle's Breath Technique? Isn't that a breathing technique of the Taishang Dao? It is as famous as the Heavenly Snake Shooting Technique of Xuantian Hall. " All of a sudden, Mu The Younger frowned, as if recalling something. Clearly, the Spirit Turtle's Breath Technique that Hong Yi had mentioned had made her recall something.
"Heavenly Snake Shooting Technique?" Although Hong Yi was familiar with martial scriptures, this was the first time he had heard of this name.
"Mu The Younger, have you learned martial arts in Xuantian Hall before? Can you explain it to me? "
Mu The Younger pondered, "Ever since I can remember, I have been practicing martial arts in a castle with many white wooden houses. Someone watched me and forbade me from going out. They did not tell me where it was and forbade me from talking to others. Until a few years ago, a few Martial Warriors suddenly barged in and took me out. They said that someone wanted to kill me, and then I was chased all the way here. Only now do I know that the place where I learned martial arts is called Xuantian Hall. "
"Your background is a mystery. Don't worry, you will slowly find out." Hong Yi shook his head and sighed.
"However, when I was in Xuantian Hall, I eavesdropped on others and learned a lot of things. In Xuantian Hall, there is a martial art called the Heavenly Snake Shooting Technique. It is as famous as the Spirit Turtle's Breath Technique of the Taishang Dao. It seems to be a profound martial art created by the wife of the Hall Master, one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, the Heavenly Snake King. Many people want to learn it, but only a few can learn it."
"Then, have you learned it?" Hong Yi asked.
"I haven't. I only know two martial arts. One is the Heavenly Wrapping Hands, and the other is the Butterfly Dance Fist Technique." Mu The Younger shook his head.
"En, let's practice!" Hong Yi did not ask any more questions. He took a stance and began to practice hard!
