The Blessed

Chapter 364

In mid-October, it was gradually getting cold. Now they got both money and hands, soon Zhao family’s factories were built. The new school Ling Jingxuan personally planned and designed started building. At first, he only planned to buy the land Zhang Hu’s family had burnt and build a row of blue brick tile-roofed house as the classrooms. But when he asked Guarantor Liu to handle the official title deed thing, he quietly let the magistrate know, so before Magistrate Hu escorted Chu Yunhan and Yan’er back to the capital, he ordered that as long as it was things about Ling Jingxuan, they got to offer him anything as much as they could. So, he directly transferred all the idle homestead under his name, for free, saying to assist him doing something for the folks. Actually, everyone could tell the magistrate was selling face to Ling Jingxuan. So Ling Jingxuan didn’t refuse. The next day he found those foremen he had long cooperated with to build the school for him.

As to the problem of tutors, because the little buns all didn’t like Yan Yi, and he was like some decoration in Yuehua Manor. So Yan Shengrui decisively sent him to find a tutor above the title of xiucai at a high price. Before he left, Ling Jingxuan also made his request, no old school, not too flatulent, no incompetent one who was only capable of bragging, or ignorant, narrow-minded and wooden people. Meanwhile, he also asked him to find a few martial arts tutors and bookkeepers. Of course the martial arts tutors were supposed to teach the kids martial arts, while the bookkeepers, he planned to train them himself. Ling Jinghan was going to take the examination, and Song Shuisheng had to stay with him, so he planned to leave the accounting things to the bookkeeprs. Of course, he’d also teach them some simple and easy-to-learn modern statistical methods.

On the other side, before Magistrate Hu left, he had sentenced Ling Jinghua and others to be beheaded before the busy streets. As long as the paper from the prefecture was issued, the four of them would be executed. For this, the old xiucai and his wife both fell ill, only lying in bed all day. Now the old xiucai’s family nearly got completely fallen apart. The big son Ling Chengcai and his wife were the happiest. To Ling Chenghua, they only had hate, wishing she could die instantly. While the third son Ling Chenghu and his wife seemed as if they got totally realized the truth after Lady Jiang and her daughter’s thing. Except serving some food for the old couple in bed, they seldom went out.

As for things in the town, Zeng Shaoqing ordered Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Hong to handle the purchasing thing of the shop on the opposite side of Xinyue Gold Shop before he left. A few days ago, there already came good news-the shop was purchased successfully. Shopkeeper Zhang who was closer to that place already led the workers to do decorations. For this, Ling Jingxuan also took advantage of some free time to design some new style handbags, headdress flowers, clothes and other things and let Wang Jinyu to make some samples with Song Shuiling and others. If the made-up articles sold well, he’d hire people for mass-produce, so they could be launched as the featured products when the new branch of Baiyunge was opened next month.

With the experience accumulated from last time, Wang Jinyu and others could do a familiar job with ease. They already started before Ling Jingxuan explained more. On the other side, to let Zhang Qing quickly learn how to do business, a few days ago, Ling Jingxuan let him to report to Shopkeeper Zhang. When Shopkeeper Zhang was too busy, he’d act as the supervisor.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Han, you are here. Let’s go.”

One day, the Zhao&Han couple came very early, only because yesterday Ling Jingxuan said today he was going to tell them what business to do in winter. The curious Ling Jinghan also went to the No. one factory with them after assigning some reading as homework for the little buns. When having time recently, those servants continuously planted different fruit trees in those planned areas. Though now they were still some little branches, the big yard was no longer that empty.

"Old Song, Zhou Er, open the gate!"

Standing at the gate of Warehouse No. 1, Ling Jingxuan beckoned, and Old Song and Zhou Er came forward.

"Creak..."

Two heavy gates were slowly pulled to both sides, and a thousands-of-square-meters warehouse came into view. Everyone craned their necks to see what was hidden inside.

"Are those...mushrooms?"

"Big brother, you can grow mushrooms yourself?"

"No wonder you said we could make more money for the Spring Festival."

When the gate of the warehouse completely opened, they all wide opened their eyes, inside were densely packed with a lot of cotton-twined, adult arm-thick ground substances, at both ends of the place were filled with all kinds of mushrooms. Ling Jinghan and Ling Jingpeng who had ever eaten them before couldn’t help smiling, and admired their big brother more. Few people could think of planting mushrooms themselves, right?

"Brother Zhao, Brother Han, come with me."

Ignoring the two younger brothers’ words, Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui gave each other a look and went inside first. The mushroom ground substance was in rows like the ridges in the field, and each row had a few layers, in the middle of those low ridges was wide enough for two adults to pass through. The deeper they went, the more they admired Ling Jingxuan’s operational ability. In only two or three months, he could have done so many ground substances. At least ten thousand of them?

"These two rows are for you. Brother Zhao, you can move them home. Now the mushrooms are almost growing big enough. So in a few days, I’m going to find Shopkeeper Zhang and talk about the purchase thing. After picking them the first time, don’t throw them away. With ample moist and temperature, they would grow again. I guess you can harvest twice a month, until March or April next year. If you can’t handle it, you can buy some servants from Guarantor Liu. To be honest, now is already the growing period of those mushrooms, so I plan to leave them to my dad and Old Zhou to take care of.”
