Chapter 72 The matter is settled
After making arrangements for Zheng Bo and Han Che, Feng Xiu, as usual, inquired about the current situation in the city.
The opening of the sluice gates for summer irrigation by the River Law Office is a done deal.
However, the actions of various families in opening porridge shops and selling grain at low prices also became more intense.
"It's basically settled now; all the grain merchants in the city are willing to stand with us through thick and thin."
Zheng Bo replied, but after saying half of it, he felt it was inappropriate and changed his mind.
"With the Lin family at the forefront."
"That's even better. What about the Fan family?" Feng Xiu nodded and asked again.
"The Fan family is still the same as always, not seeing anyone. I heard that they don't even plan to go when the summer irrigation starts in five days."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu slowly revealed a cold smile: "That's great. It was agreed back then during the Ganlin Grand Ceremony that I would oversee the ceremony, and the three families would each contribute their share."
"Once the floodgates are opened, the Feng family's farm must be the top priority."
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Since the Fan family has betrayed all the grain merchants...
The censors wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, a perfect chance to kick someone when they're down and beat them while they're down.
After listening, Zheng Bo sighed.
He knew both Fan Ling and Lin Che well, but the two had gone down different paths.
Fate plays tricks on people~
"Uncle Zheng, what do you think about me visiting the Fan family now?"
Before Feng Xiu could finish speaking, he burst into laughter.
"Young Master, are you... trying to take his land?" Uncle Zheng's eyes widened.
It should be noted that the order in which the River Law Office opens the sluice gates to release water is determined after discussions among various parties.
In the past, Fengjia Farm was small and could only be ranked in the middle.
Now that the Fan family has offended all the major and minor families in Qingyan City, the order of things definitely needs to be rearranged.
First, there's the Lin family. They certainly won't reject Feng Xiu's opinion, since it was all agreed upon beforehand.
"Why not?" Feng Xiu laughed.
Zheng Bo was speechless.
This move is too ruthless; it's no different from forcing the tenants under the Fan family to rebel.
As the capital of Qingyan Prefecture, Qingyan City has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, which will have to wait for the large and small grain merchants in front to finish irrigating.
The crops should have withered long ago; it's basically a total crop failure.
Yunzhou has abundant sunshine, enough to scorch even the stones, let alone the newly sprouted golden ears of wheat.
Of course, the idea of sealing off the land was just talk; land was extremely valuable in chaotic times.
The Fan family would rather let it rot than sell a single acre of land.
However, this is a good opportunity to make a hefty profit.
"Uncle Zheng, go and write a letter, and then personally deliver it to the Fan family," Feng Xiu said after a moment's thought.
Zheng Bo understood Feng Xiu's meaning and asked, "Young Master, how much exactly?"
"One million taels of silver; I'll help him with the money laundering."
Upon hearing the words "one million taels," Zheng Bo and Han Che were both taken aback.
"The Fan family has been in business for eight generations, so they can afford this small amount of money. Remember, I only want the equivalent value in gold, not the bank's silver notes."
Feng Xiu's expression turned cold, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, young master, I'll take care of it right away."
Zheng Bo nodded solemnly, then turned and left.
After Zheng Bo left, only Han Che remained in the training room. Feng Xiu belatedly realized that Han Che's breathing had become extremely long.
Her face also became rosier than before.
"Xiao Han, you've broken through?" Feng Xiu exclaimed in surprise.
"Thanks to the eldest young master's guidance, I managed to break through the Blood Burning Barrier yesterday." Han Che's lips curled into a smile.
Feng Xiu looked somewhat regretful. He had originally intended to pass on his self-created Nine Heavens Lock technique to him, but now it seemed unlikely.
"Shall we practice?" he then suggested, adding a discussion in his voice.
"I think I'll pass."
Han Che's smile faltered, and he quickly shook his head.
"If you don't want to come, then forget it." Feng Xiu didn't insist.
He gained a lot from yesterday's battle, not only testing the practical combat capabilities of the Nine Heavens Lock for the first time.
He also gained a deeper understanding of the Dragon-Snake Martial Seal and the newly created Overlord Fist Ancient Technique.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiu felt a pang of emotion.
The battle with Su Wantang's split soul was full of twists and turns, but the outcome was not important.
Importantly, Feng Xiu enjoyed the battle.
At this moment, Feng Xiu stretched again, and immediately, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out from his body.
"So comfortable~"
"I'm going to sleep now. Call me if you need anything."
After stretching his muscles, Feng Xiu walked towards the bedroom without turning his head.
Although Su Wantang's matter has not been resolved yet, Feng Xiu considers it no different from being resolved.
At least, he no longer had to worry about Li Xuanshuang attacking him again. Thinking of this, Feng Xiu felt extremely happy.
He wasn't tired, but he just wanted to take a nap and recharge.
As for magical arts, he wasn't in a hurry.
They watched as Feng Xiu's figure gradually disappeared.
After taking a deep breath, Han Che continued to study the Dragon-Snake Martial Seal in the training room.
Feng Xiu's progress in martial arts is too fast. If he doesn't work hard to improve, he might not even be able to keep up and will fall further and further behind.
Not to mention, in another genius's room in the mansion, bursts of sound like dragons and snakes chanting came from the air.
After returning to his bedroom, Feng Xiu performed his Vajra Kung Fu as usual.
Without even taking off her clothes, she lay down on the soft bed, fell asleep immediately, and her breathing gradually became steady.
In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed.
With peace restored throughout the land, Yunzhou also settled down, and the Feng family became the most powerful clan in Yunzhou.
The family is full of talented people and experts. Feng Xiu has also married and had a beautiful daughter who is very dashing.
"Daddy~ Is Miaomiao's fist hard?"
"Daddy~ Daddy, wake up~"
In his sleep, a smile appeared on Feng Xiu's face as he gradually regained consciousness.
Suddenly, a faint, ticklish sensation came from the philtrum below my nose, and the vivid image slowly faded away.
Feng Xiu slowly opened his eyes.
Beside the bed, Huang Jiaojiao held a chicken feather in her small hand. Noticing the gaze, she withdrew it behind her back as if she had done something wrong.
She then turned to Feng Xiuyan with a grin and said, "Brother Feng, what kind of dream did you have? I saw you smiling the whole time."
"It's nothing."
After sitting up, Feng Xiu touched his slightly itchy nose.
Huang Jiaojiao changed into a well-tailored yellow dress and tied her hair into two buns.
Without that black hat, she gained a touch of playfulness and cuteness.
"Jiaojiao, how are you? Are you settling in alright?"
Feng Xiu got out of bed and looked out the window.
It was already the morning of the second day, and the scorching sunlight streamed in through the window.
Several bright spots of light were spread across the floor, revealing countless floating dust particles.
Feng Xiu went to the window, stretched in the sunlight, his muscles creaking, and felt a wave of languid relaxation wash over him.
"Of course I'm used to it. The food here is good, the sleep is good, and even the blankets are soft."
Huang Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, revealing a satisfied smile.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, her face fell, and she frowned, saying, "But Grandpa insists on forcing me to practice magical arts, and I don't want to practice that."
"What's wrong with magical arts? Don't you think it's fun to throw a hat out and then bring it back?" Feng Xiu chuckled.
"No, no, not at all. I hate hats. It's so tiring to wear one every day. I feel like if I keep practicing like this, I'll lose all my hair."
Huang Jiaojiao quickly shook her head, her face full of reluctance.
"Brother Feng, will you train with me from now on?"
The girl seemed to have thought of something again, and her dark eyes seemed to regain their light as she asked expectantly.
"Of course," Feng Xiu said with a smile.
"That's great, that's great! From now on, Brother Feng will be my senior brother. I won't have to train alone anymore."
"Grandpa will definitely find you a good iron hat~"
Huang Jiaojiao beamed with joy, her face beaming with happiness.
After saying that, she skipped away, her joy filling the air.
Feng Xiu watched her go, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face.
Then, he took a few steps and came to the full-length bronze mirror next to the wardrobe.
In the bronze mirror.
It set off a handsome young man with slightly bulging muscles.
Looking up from the embroidered gold collar, his features were sharp and defined, his sideburns were neatly trimmed, and his eyes were bright and piercing, exuding righteousness!
