Chapter 57 The Yard is in Hand
After finishing the work in his hands, Sun Shan eagerly came to his own courtyard on Baiyun Street in the east of the city.
That’s right, from now on, I, Sun Shan, am also a homeowner who owns real estate.
Moreover, it is a large courtyard with three entrances.
It’s not far from Jun Youlai Restaurant to my yard, about three or four miles. If you walk fast, it will only take about ten minutes.
But walking across town every day is still quite time-consuming.
As my fame grows, it becomes more and more inconvenient for me to walk on the road.
Thinking of this, Sun Shan remembered that he had to buy a good horse for himself. At the same time, he also needed to buy two ox carts for his family and add furniture and decorations.
In particular, they want to imitate the way Meituan and Didi Chuxing did a thousand years later and support dozens of people from Baisha Village.
As a result, the less than 1,000 taels of silver saved this month was still far from enough.
Although Sun Shan wanted to swallow up the Qinglong Gang in its entirety, he also let Sun Bing and others roughly figure out their strongholds and sphere of influence.
But whether they can be taken down completely is still just a concept.
Besides, as a time traveler, it is impossible for him to defraud poor people like gangsters.
However, it is still necessary to collect some protection fees appropriately within the scope of one's protection and maintain normal operations within the power.
In fact, this is a kind of protection for businessmen within the sphere of influence.
By charging a small share of the fee, they can protect themselves from other forces and stand up for themselves when they are bullied by others.
Otherwise, why not charge a penny?
Of course, no matter how much business it is within the sphere of influence, Sun Shan will not force it if the business does not even pay a little bit of fees.
However, no matter what difficulties they encounter, there is naturally no need for Datong Association to take care of them.
Besides, earning some fees is also a way to prove the existence of Datong Society.
In Sun Shan's mind, the combination of Meituan and Didi, an organization with a large number of young and strong laborers, is his fastest and best way to develop.
Firstly, it can stabilize the territory and manpower.
Secondly, you can form a stable team and quickly expand your influence.
Moreover, this is beneficial to the country, the people and oneself.
Before Sun Shan reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from inside. It seemed that the clansmen were also very happy to own such a large courtyard.
Just as Sun Shan walked to the door, Sun Ziyong, who was going out to buy some food and noodles, saw Sun Shan at a glance. He was wearing loose knight clothes and carrying a long sword.
He was stunned at first.
Because Sun Shan's appearance was quite different from the usual attire of a scholar.
Then he turned his head and shouted to the courtyard with the gate wide open, "The scholar is back!"
Sun Shan was a little confused. Why did Sun Ziyong change the way he called him? Didn’t everyone usually call him Uncle Shan or Grandpa Shan?
"Ha ha ha ha-----"
A hearty laugh came out before anyone even left: "Shan Ge'er, your yard is great, you are really capable!"
Sun Daping saw Sun Shan walking to the gate of the yard and patted him on the shoulder with great joy: "If your mother and grandmother knew about this, I'm afraid they would be so happy that they couldn't sleep!"
"Hello, Uncle, you guys are here quite early. How many people are here this time?"
However, before Sun Daping could reply, the members of the Sun family who were cleaning the yard and tidying up the room came out one by one, calling him "Scholar" or each other's seniority in a very affectionate manner.
Sun Shan responded cheerfully and roughly counted them. There should be about forty of them.
These forty or so people, plus the twenty or so who came last time, it seems that the clan leader Sun Bohe has sent out almost all the young people of appropriate age in the village.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh that old ginger is still wiser!
Coming out at this time, when you are just starting out and need manpower the most, will undoubtedly give you a first-mover advantage in the future.
In the future, as long as they don't do evil things and don't become rich, at least their life will be many times better than that in that rural corner of Baisha.
Sun Shan knew that no matter what era or world, if one wanted to accomplish something big, one could not do without help from others.
Especially, those people of the same clan and surname in this era.
Because, I and they are a natural community of interests, we prosper together and suffer together.
Only when they are well and prosperous can they have a better life.
Believe this, as long as you have eyes, you can see it.
"Ziyong, what were you doing just now?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sun Shan recalled Sun Ziyong's hasty exit and asked.
"Reply to Mr. Xiucai, I'm going to buy some food. With so many people here, it will be hard to buy food later in the evening."
"I knew you were going to buy food. I've already told the restaurant that they'll deliver it today. From tomorrow on, we'll cook the food ourselves."
"Really, Mr. Xiucai, you are too kind. The dishes in the restaurant are so expensive!"
Although Sun Ziyong thought that the dishes in the restaurant were expensive, his mouth began to water when he thought of the delicious dishes that had become much more delicious after Sun Shan's guidance.
Sun Shan looked at him swallowing his saliva and gave him a light kick. "Go ahead, just go and fetch it yourself, and get familiar with the environment at the same time."
As he spoke, Sun Shan winked at Sun Bing, indicating that when they were out, they should go out with a few more people.
During this period, although both we and the Wang family are in a latent period, we will not act rashly.
But if the bandits in Laohuling don't follow the rules and attack the tribesmen in private, who can we turn to for justice in this era without surveillance and an imperfect legal system?
Besides, whenever something goes wrong, the tribesmen from Baisha Village will more or less blame themselves.
Therefore, it is better to be cautious before completely dealing with the Qinglong Gang.
As for the Wang family, it is easy to deal with. After all, they have a strong foundation. As a man wearing shoes, he is more afraid of himself who is barefoot.
Sun Bing understood what his cousin meant. After thinking about it, he nodded to a few newcomers around him and asked them to go with him to get the food.
Sun Shan stepped into his first large courtyard with some nervousness, feeling that this world was still very wonderful.
Such a large and exquisite compound can be obtained easily.
The path is paved with bluestone slabs, with lush bamboo forests on both sides. The bamboo leaves sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, like a whisper telling the history of the compound.
As you enter the courtyard, what comes into view is a wide square with an exquisite pavilion in the center. The eaves of the pavilion are upturned, like a phoenix spreading its wings about to fly.
In the corner of the compound, there is an ancient well, the water is so clear that it seems to reflect people's hearts. Beside the well, there stands an ancient banyan tree, its dense branches and leaves casting mottled shadows on the well water.
The three-story courtyard has about fifty or sixty rooms. Although it has been almost tidied up by the clan members, many details are still not taken care of.
However, for Sun Shan, who is neither married nor has a house a thousand years later, he is still very satisfied.
Sun Bing followed Sun Shan into the backyard. He talked about the group of people he saw at the city gate, and he guessed that they were the bandits from Tiger Ridge.
Sun Shan nodded. According to Xie Meiyu's information and Sun Bing's description, the middle-aged man leading the group should be the bandit nephew of the Wang family.
"It should be. That man is called Wang Daqiang, and he is the third leader of Tiger Ridge." Sun Shan patted Sun Bing on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Let's not talk about how our brothers are training. Now on the surface, we are in the light and they are in the dark. In reality, we are the wolves that eat the meat."
Hearing this, Sun Bing recalled the scenes of his brothers being trained by Sun Shan, and relaxed a little: "Brother Shan, you should be aware of this. With so many children of our Sun family in your hands, you must be extremely careful."
"I know!"
Sun Shan nodded heavily, then pointed to some inconspicuous places in the yard and said with a strange smile: "Let me tell you something, there is an underground passage in this yard."
These words frightened Sun Bing so much that he almost cried out.
Sun Shan didn't wait for him to ask, and continued to make arrangements: "The Wang family may want to let the bandits come in through the underground passage to kill and burn people."
As he spoke, Sun Shan pulled the corner of his mouth sinisterly, revealing his teeth that had been brushed white with salt water since he woke up: "We can also use the passage to burn them all to death inside, and save the trouble of dealing with their tails."
These words made Sun Bing, who had killed people and seen blood before, feel frightened.
Burn the enemy alive!
Dozens of people were burned to death at once!
