[Fifteen Thousand Taels of Silver, Mountain Warehouse Completed]

Having dealt with Zhang Yuanwai's matter, Lin Ze no longer felt like he had forgotten anything.

His mood instantly became much more comfortable.

In the following days, Lin Ze entered a rare state of tranquility.

Every day was spent in a leisurely life without having to rush around.

On the Other World side, An Ye from Two Rivers Village was helping to purchase Matsutake and build a Mountain Warehouse to facilitate Lin Ze's transportation.

Meanwhile, back in the Main World, thanks to Zhao Wenrou's efforts, the staff of Zhiyuan Trading Company began to be fully equipped and gradually entered a state of normal operation.

They would routinely purchase Matsutake, serving as Lin Ze's source of goods in the Main World.

Besides that, Lin Ze was preparing for the next stage of his Two Realms Trade.

Three days after concluding the transaction with Green Curtain Mountain, an armed escort vehicle drove into Lin Ze's villa.

With the help of the escort personnel, 37.44 million in cash was counted and placed in Lin Ze's villa safe.

This was a request Lin Ze had made to the bank a few days ago to withdraw cash, citing the payment of Matsutake as the reason. After a few days of preparation, it was finally delivered.

Including the two million plus in cash Lin Ze had obtained after his first shipment of Matsutake, Lin Ze now had a total of forty million in cash.

After seeing off the escorts, Lin Ze began to take action.

He started going out frequently with large bags and briefcases, leaving behind traces of him using cash to pay off the previously owed Matsutake debts.

Although Lin Ze could only be considered a nobody right now, and no one paid attention to him at all.

This series of actions was mostly like winking at a blind man, but it was still a necessary disguise.

It was to prevent any flaws from being exposed when he was being watched in the future.

In reality, Lin Ze was gradually using this cash to buy silver.

The existence of the Gates to Heavens was very convenient. Lin Ze could easily disguise his identity and go to various formal or informal precious metal trading markets in his own country and others to use his cash to buy silver bullion.

And his outstanding marksmanship and the extraordinary reaction speed brought about by his martial arts practice were enough to guarantee his safety.

A week later, at the Big Stone Village Two Realms Trade Base.

In the basement.

Lin Ze looked at the silver blocks piled up like a small mountain in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

This was the result of his efforts over the past period, a full Fifteen Thousand Taels of Silver, which cost him 39.075 million.

Although, theoretically speaking, it would have been faster for Lin Ze to buy the equivalent amount of silver directly from the bank, that would have been a larger target, not something Lin Ze should do in the initial stage.

And this money was the start-up capital for Lin Ze to start the next phase of his Two Realms Trade plan.

"So crowded."

Lin Ze looked around at the surroundings and shook his head.

This basement was still too small. After putting in these Fifteen Thousand Taels of Silver, plus the other things Lin Ze had placed here, it already felt a bit cramped.

But since the business was still in its initial stage, he would have to make do for now.

"Then, next we can start the next phase of the Two Realms Trade."

A smile appeared on Lin Ze's lips.

"Young Master Lin, you've arrived."

At the edge of Cloud Mist Mountain, Eagle Beak Mountain, the sound of wheels rolling echoed.

Many of the Two Rivers Village villagers who were working subconsciously looked towards the direction of the sound, and saw Lin Ze in a green robe. Then, greetings began to rise and fall.

"Long time no see, everyone. The construction is quite fast."

Lin Ze said with a smile.

He looked at the place where everyone was building the warehouse.

The difficulty in building this warehouse lies in the preparation of materials.

Whether it's logging or quarrying, it's extremely physically demanding and time-consuming.

Twelve days have passed since Lin Ze issued the construction task, and the materials have been prepared. Now the construction is very fast.

Lin Ze came here at this moment, and everyone had already built this warehouse to the end.

The warehouse is built of stones and wooden boards, which looks very strong, and it is no problem to prevent wild animals and wind and rain.

"It seems that this warehouse can be completed today."

"If so, then bring all the Matsutake that have been purchased recently here. I will also settle the wages."

Lin Ze said with a smile.

"Okay, Young Master Lin."

An Li, the son of An Ye who was supervising the work here, answered Lin Ze, then turned around and went back to the village to inform him.

As for Lin Ze, he asked people to boil some hot water and dissolve some Rock Candy in it for the villagers present.

While waiting, they chatted.

From these Two Rivers Village villagers, Lin Ze learned about what happened in Zhang Yuanwai's family after that day.

He learned that after Zhang Yuanwai's death, his family property was taken away, and his wife and children were scattered.

"That's really a pity."

Lin Ze said so, without expressing any opinion.

After a while, An Li arranged for people to bring the Matsutake back.

He also apologized for his father, saying that An Ye was unable to climb the mountain due to his leg injury and was waiting for Lin Ze at home.

At this time, many Two Rivers Village villagers, full of energy after drinking the Rock Candy water, were also speeding up to complete the final finishing work.

After putting down the Matsutake, these villagers continued to return to Two Rivers Village to transport the Matsutake over.

In the afternoon, the Mountain Warehouse was completed, a spacious and sturdy warehouse had been built.

The Matsutake that An Ye's family had purchased during this time had also been moved over and placed in this sturdy warehouse.

"Young Master Lin, there are a total of thirty thousand catties of Matsutake, all here."

"In addition, this warehouse took fourteen people twelve days to build."

An Li relayed the message from his father.

The settlement of the Matsutake payment was not urgent, Lin Ze first paid the workers present.

According to the prior agreement, Lin Ze set the wages for everyone at seventy Wen per day. Each person worked for twelve days, requiring a payment of eight hundred and forty Wen.

For fourteen people working twelve days, Lin Ze needed to pay a total of Wen.

Lin Ze directly took out specially made one-tael small silver ingots and gave each worker one, the excess being considered a bonus.

In addition to this, Lin Ze also gave each of these workers half a catty of Rock Candy as an extra reward.

Many villagers from Two Rivers Village took the wages and the extra reward of Rock Candy, and happy smiles appeared on their faces.

Half a catty of Rock Candy was worth 250 Wen, this job of less than half a month actually earned them a full 1250 Wen, which was a rare job opportunity in the countryside.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin."

Everyone thanked him in unison.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, this is what you all earned with your sweat, no need to thank me."

Lin Ze said politely, watching everyone leave.

"Here, this is for you, you've worked hard these days supervising."

An Li was left behind, and Lin Ze handed him two small one-tael silver ingots.
