Chapter 876 I'm Going to Book This Place
It was already dark, and standing on the shore, one could not see the vast expanse of blue water, but the fishing lights in the harbor were dotted like the reflection of the Milky Way in the sky.
Each lamp was a story of an ordinary family.
With his hearing ability, he could often hear people whispering on the nearby boats, which were soft and fragmented, and mixed with a few laughs.
Simple life, simple happiness.
The breeze brought the unique moisture of the seaside, and He Lingchuan took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and refreshed.
There was no unloading at the dock tonight, and the entire Blade Harbor was resting.
There was no one at the beach, so he walked on the beach. The soul-catching mirror asked, "Are you really here?"
"This place is better than I thought, with fertile land, extensive water networks, and a port that can carry goods from all directions and receive visitors from all directions." He Lingchuan pressed his knuckles, "It can be seen that the ancestors of Bailie had a good vision and bought such a good piece of land; it's a pity that their descendants are not good at management and have played a good hand badly."
"No flower lasts forever." The mirror is a cultural mirror. It reflects the moonlight and sighs, "It's not easy for the Lu family to be passed down for so many years."
"The way of heaven is constant, and all things are born and die." He Lingchuan shuttles between history and reality all day long, and has one more perspective than others. "The decline of the Lu family is natural."
This family has lived longer than most countries. But from the perspective of time and history, it is normal for families in the world to be worse than the previous generation, gradually decline, and even disappear.
Tao follows nature, and nature only does one thing:
elimination.
Even with the protection left by the ancestors, the Lu family probably can't escape this fate in the end.
But from He Lingchuan's personal perspective, if the Lu family continues to play like this, Bailie will be gone!
He avenged the original body's mother Lu Xiaoyun and took back the ancestral property as a reward. Isn't it reasonable?
Besides, with so many people around him following him across the ocean, he also needs a foothold and a good start.
So, he wants to take over the territory of Bailie!
Mirror asked him: "Lu Zhensheng's family has controlled Bailie for a long time and has the advantage of the location. What are you going to do first?"
"First, gain a foothold, and then find out the shortcomings of the Lu family. After six hundred years of existence, whether it is a family or a country, there will be many problems. Even if there are frequent innovations, it is nothing more than patching up." He Lingchuan replied, "Only by giving what they need can we quickly get close to Lu Zhensheng!"
He and Mirror did not discuss the possibility of going straight to Huanglong and killing the father and son of the Lu family to seize the ancestral foundation.
It doesn't make sense. There are still people in the Lu family, and they are all relatives of the original body. Besides, he is still young, how can he defend such a large territory?
Well, it's not the right time yet. It's not the right time yet.
Mirror asked him: "You brought Ding Zuodong here, do you want to buy property here? I saw you wrote a letter to Li Qingge in Songyang Prefecture?"
"Of course." He also did a lot of business in Yuanguo Dunyu, but after falling into the water in the Handan River, those properties were taken over by He Chunhua as a matter of course.
Since he parted ways with this cheap old man, he didn't care about this detail.
But Bailie is where he wants to settle down, and it is necessary to build a family foundation and build a career.
"But like I did in Dunyu, just doing shops and land, and then taking over some business, it would be too slow and would not attract the attention of the Lu family." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "If you want to do it, do a few big ones."
What he did in Dunyu was at best an investor, investing money for appreciation.
But here, he has to lay a solid foundation.
If he does small things or starts with a small business, he only needs to go to the official to report the procedures. The only people who will come to us later are the thugs or gangs who want to collect protection fees.
Want to contact the Lu family? Too slow!
"I asked the head of Songyang Mansion if she wanted to open a branch here, and gave her the address. If she is willing, the people she sent will probably arrive in a few months, right?" Bailie is too far away from Yuan Country and Beijia, and Songyang Mansion's tentacles could not reach here before.
"Whether we want to make money or start our own business, we need the weapon refining ability of Songyang Mansion." He Lingchuan said, "I have inquired about it, and there is no famous weapon sect nearby."
Mirror smiled and said, "Yes, you are also the honorary elder of Songyang Mansion."
He Lingchuan picked up a small round stone and hit it on the water.
"Swish, swish, swish", ten consecutive jumps.
"I need information, the more the better, the more detailed the better, and the more diverse the better!"
¥¥¥¥¥
Three days later.
When Ding Zuodong found He Lingchuan, the latter was sucking raw pickled blood clams.
If this thing is well pickled, the blood-like juice will flow into your mouth, which is fresh and fragrant, and few fresh seafood can compare to it. But if you have a slightly weaker stomach, you will easily turn into a jet fighter if you eat it.
Lingguang tasted one and shook his head and refused to touch it. He couldn't stand the taste. Jujubes are better.
"Boss, an interesting thing happened in the suburbs of Qucheng a few days ago." Qucheng is the location of the Lu family and the capital of Bailie.
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
"A large manor was sealed more than a month ago. It is said that it will be sold by the government. As a result, someone tore off the seal five days ago and fought with the police."
"What's so strange about this?" He Lingchuan pried open another blood clam. There are also tools specially used to open the shell of this thing. It's very convenient. "The property was forcibly taken back by the government, and the original owner was not happy."
Ding Zuodong smiled and said, "Guess who the original owner is?"
He Lingchuan paused. Can you guess this? They traveled across the ocean to come to Bailie. How many people can they recognize?
Well, if Ding Zuodong put it that way, then the owner’s fame isn’t limited to Bailie?
"Could it be a senior official from Qing or Mou?"
"From Beijia."
He Lingchuan was surprised: "Bejia? Are people from Beijia buying manors here?"
Between Beijia and Bailie, there is a huge Mou Kingdom. The hands of these Beijia people are really long.
Excluding some sea countries, the area of Mou Kingdom ranks third among the known land countries, which is also quite vast.
"There are more than three or five. It is said that many prosperous shops and manors in Qucheng are under the names of senior officials from Beijia and Mou Kingdom." Ding Zuodong said, "Half a year ago, Beijia seized a large number of officials. These people are either in prison or exiled. It's very bad. They can't take care of their assets abroad."
He Lingchuan let out a long "oh" and understood.
Once some officials are arrested, they will say goodbye to their official careers in the future; some are even worse, and they may never get out for the rest of their lives, or simply disappear, such as Nian Zanli...
Their property in Beijia may be seized and divided, but some overseas assets are untouchable and out of reach.
The original owners of these fertile fields and beautiful houses may no longer be able to take care of them, and they have become ownerless assets.
"Bai Lie is targeting these officials who have fallen from power and confiscating their assets?"
"Based on the gossip I heard, this is likely the case."
