Chapter 9 A New Beginning

Because of Ning Ruxue, Ye Wen quickly found a place on Shushan that satisfies him. This is a vast platform that is close to the top of the mountain. If you go up, you will be all steep mountain walls. If you don’t have the ultimate light skills, you can’t take another step forward.

At the same time, this platform has only a slightly better road from the foot of the mountain, leading directly to the avenue up the mountain. Other paths cannot be reached because most of the surroundings are steep cliffs. If it is located in the sect, it can avoid being besieged by the enemy.

More importantly, the place here is wide, and even if Ye Wen finds someone to build a small palace here, he is not afraid of insufficient place. If his Shushan School really wants to grow and grow, enough places are also necessary.

Therefore, when Ye Wen saw this, he immediately decided to set the new sect base here.

"Is this place too high?" Ning Ruxue didn't think it was a good place. Although the environment was beautiful and the terrain was dangerous, there was only one road up the mountain, and it was stuck by the sects below. In this way, those who came to become disciples would never be able to come here, let alone join the Shushan sect.

In Ning Ruxue's heart, countless disciples are indispensable for the sect to grow. Moreover, it is impossible for him and his senior brother to destroy the main fist sect with the power of two people, thereby regaining the stolen things that his sect had been stolen.

But she didn't know that Ye Wen's idea was to use the elite military strategy. First, she was to create a master wholeheartedly (of course he was himself), and then use this master as the core of the sect to gain fame, expand his power, and eliminate competitors. As for accepting disciples, you have to take it slowly, at least there is no need to accept disciples now.

Moreover, even if someone really comes to become a disciple, I am afraid that they will not have any martial arts teachings.

Basic boxing, footing and sword skills? Those who are ordinary people in the world can do some tricks. Who really wants to practice martial arts knows the basics? Unless those children who have to join a certain sect to practice martial arts since childhood. But these children are quite powerful in their families, how could they fall in love with their decaying sect?

Not to mention Shushan Sword Technique. In Ye Wen's opinion, this thing is a little bit stronger than the introductory sword Technique. He was very curious about how the predecessors of Shushan School made their name with this set of bad sword techniques.

These days, he roughly read out the book about the inheritance of the sect in his hand, and knew that the second generation of leaders had a very famous reputation in the area around Shushan. The Shushan School was also a first-class sect in this area at that time, and it was also a bit famous.

"Is there something unique skill that has been lost?"

Ye Wen could only make such a guess, but he didn't feel distressed. After all, he was wearing that magical ring on his hand, so he was not afraid that he would not have martial arts secrets to practice.

What's more, he planned to build a residence here first, and then concentrate on seclusion on the mountain for a long time, and even planned to not contact outsiders until the money in his hand was completely spent.

It is foreseeable that he will not go out for a long time in the future. Judging from the frequency of the ring being used once a month, he can summon enough martial arts secrets during this period to facilitate his own practice.

He touched his chin and looked around. At this time, the sun had just risen. He stood on the top of the mountain and was bathed in the morning sun. Ye Wen let out a long sigh.

"Since my senior brother has decided to be here, let's go find a craftsman to build two houses first!" Ning Ruxue didn't say anything. She saw Ye Wen standing there happily looking at the place and then looking at it. Then she stood there silently, knowing that her senior brother, who was increasingly unable to see through, was thinking about something important, so she did not bother.

But I was a little annoyed about my question but didn't get any response, so my tone was a little stiff and my face was not very good.

At this time, Ye Wen remembered his junior sister. When he was thinking about things just now, he completely ignored Ning Ruxue. Everything was based on himself.

It was not until this time that he remembered that there was another person beside him.

"How much money does the junior sister have in her hands? After building the house, I can afford food, clothing and expenses for both of us?" This is related to how long they can go to seclusion and practice, so we must first figure it out.

Ning Ruxue replied hard: "I went to build a house for use. If the rest is saved, it will be enough for me to use it for more than two years!"

This means the remaining money. If the two of them just buy some basic food, it doesn’t matter if they spend two years on the mountain. The subsequent one is even more beneficial to Ye Wen’s retreat and cultivation plan. “If we buy some vegetables and plant them on the mountain, then the rest will only buy some food for three or four years!”

Ye Wen remembered that the two men had sold the eight bandits and those unused weapons and miscellaneous items after selling them. In addition, the reward silver was offered, and the property in their hands was less than 50 taels of silver. This was already a huge sum of money at this time.

Based on what Ye Wen saw in the past two days and the situation he asked from Ning Ruxue that in this era, ordinary people spend only a few taels of silver a year. If they save money and produce food and eat by themselves, then they only buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and maybe they can only use more than 1 tael a year.

This shows that the two people accidentally made this vote, which solved a considerable problem. Otherwise, the two people would have to cut down trees and build a house by themselves. Where can they get the spare money to hire someone to build a residence?

However, because I have to build a good storefront for the re-established mountain gate, the money used to build a house may cost a lot. If the huge amount of money is built in my hand, at least half of it will be used up (especially on such a high mountain, the labor cost may be much higher than in the county town).

Therefore, it would be good if the two of them had 20 taels left in the end. If they save some use of these 20 taels, they might be able to last for two years. If they do something else, they will probably spend less than a year.

"Oh...it seems that if you want to make the sect stronger, how to make money is also a science!"

This is very different from some of the business games that Ye Wen played at the beginning. Only then did he know how the sects made money these days. He could not go out to grab them openly like those green forests. As for collecting protection fees, it seems that it is not the small Shushan sect to collect...

Ning Ruxue didn't interrupt because she didn't know how to solve this problem. As for the Shushan School in the past, they raised several errand vegetable farmers with the few pieces of land they left behind. Basically, the vegetables they ate were grown by themselves, mainly buying rice and some miscellaneous items.

These expenses are not big, and they can still hold on with the foundation of Shushan School's "extraordinary" at the time. However, Ning Ruxue knew that his master was often worried about this matter at that time and didn't know how to solve this problem.

He originally thought that once he went, this problem would have to be solved by Ye Wen, but he didn't expect that Ye Wen would lose to others soon, and the land and the two errand-fed vegetable farmers would lose all the time. If Master Ye Wen found out, he would not know if he would be angry and would come back to life.

This question has changed and then turned to Ye Wen now. Ning Ruxue didn't know whether her senior brother who had soul-leaving disease could come up with a good idea. She was waiting for Ye Wen's subsequent text with a little expectation, but she didn't expect that she could hear some blood-spouting remarks.

"What if he doesn't matter, there's still a lot of money anyway, at least there's nothing to worry about for the time being! Let's talk about it then!"

After saying that, regardless of how ugly Ning Ruxue's face looked, she walked straight down the mountain, and while walking, she greeted Junior Sister Ning who seemed to be frozen in the spot: "Junior Sister, let's go down the mountain to find a few craftsmen first! By the way, we will hire a errand vegetable farmer! In the future, we have to live on the mountainside. This is inconvenient to come and go. If you can solve the problems yourself, try to solve them on the mountain..."

...

Time passed quickly. Nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye since Ye Wen finalized the sect's resident and went down the mountain to invite craftsmen.

During these days, the craftsmen who spent a lot of money to invite have built a circle of walls on this huge open land and built a fairly mighty main gate. The huge plaque on it said with three big words "Shushan School", which looked quite imposing.

But the inside is not as imposing as the wall. Apart from a main hall used to meet guests, there is no more imposing building.

There was no stone slab in the empty courtyard. Behind the main hall, except for a back hall dedicated to the ancestors and a large house where people could live, there was only a kitchen for making fires and cooking, and a side room for servants to live in.

Ning Ruxue was very dissatisfied with spending so much money on the wall. After all, the repair of the main hall and the back hall also affects the appearance of the sect and the respect for the ancestors. But what is the purpose of the wall being so gorgeous?

Although Ye Wen gave the reason that "there will be circled first, and it will be used in the future anyway, so as not to others take it away! And the walls must be built sooner or later." It is not unreasonable, but she still felt that this was a waste. It would be better to circle the fence first, and then consider the issue of building the wall when the sect becomes stronger.

But he didn't know that Ye Wen had regarded this place as his own private property and would never allow outsiders to be involved, so he circled it early. After all, in Ye Wen's opinion, this place is a new starting point for him to start over.

What made Ning Ruxue even more dissatisfied was that just such a big house and a side house cost so much money. She didn't understand what Ye Wen had made so many messy requirements. The hard couch was more like a stove for cooking, the hollow iron pipes all over the whole house and the iron chimney connected to the roof. She didn't know what it was for.

Although the big house that Ye Wen made was divided into two non-connected rooms, and even more huts could be separated to accommodate more people, many inexplicable things still made her not understand the meaning of the money spent.

But Ye Wen didn't explain to her at all, and said, "You will know after a while!" He then ignored her again. Instead, he ran to the bedroom and didn't know what to start tinkering with, and never saw him come out to practice.

Ning Ruxue didn't know that Ye Wen had been waiting for a long time and finally waited for this day, so he hurriedly ran back to his bedroom and then sent all his internal strength to his right index finger.
