Ye Family's matter has come to an end for now, Chen Jieqi is not in a hurry to go again.
Some things cannot be rushed.
Ye Tianming's "Come and sit here often" is already a relief, but Ye Family needs to really let down his guard.
It still needed time. He planned to wait ten days and a half before finding a way to visit.
We will discuss cooperation at that time and it will be a matter of course.
Right now, he has a more important thing, which is the land.
He had already planned the money matter.
I borrowed a sum of money from Dugu Bo, no more, no less, enough to start the business.
Old Poison said, "You are using me as a banker," but you didn't even blink when you took out the money.
Over at the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi's share of the elixir will arrive on time every month. It's not much.
But the water flows slowly, Chen Jieqi does not interfere, only takes the dry shares, which is clean and trouble-free.
Take your time, it will be enough for the initial stage, but later on you will have to seek alms from the royal family or Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
That piece of land, the title deed is written in the name of Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe's work is impeccable,
It is reasonable and reasonable for the prince to donate land to Titled Douluo. As for who should use it, that is Dugu Bo's business.
Chen Jieqi currently does not have a title and is not worthy of owning such a large industry.
But "Dugu Bo's junior" can.
He doesn't need to own it, he just needs to use it.
Early the next morning, before it was bright, Chen Jieqi left the city.
He didn't take anyone with him. When Dugu Yan asked, he just said "go out for a walk".
Yu Feng wanted to follow, but he blocked him with a look. The land is still a blank piece of paper.
He needed to stand alone on that wasteland and figure out how to draw each stroke.
East Foothills of Tiantou City is about thirty or forty miles away from Heaven Dou City.
Chen Jieqi rode his horse out of the city. The farmland on both sides of the official road gradually turned into wasteland. Further east,
The trees became denser and the terrain began to undulate. He dismounted at a fork.
He tied the reins to the tree and walked onto the forest trail.
After walking for about half an hour, my eyes suddenly opened up.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is open, like an open palm,
The terrain in the valley is flat and covered with waist-high weeds, with a few dilapidated wooden houses and rusted minecart tracks scattered in the middle.
A stream flows out from the mountain stream on the north side and winds along the valley bottom. The water is clear and gurgling loudly.
The mine has been abandoned for many years, but its skeleton remains.
Chen Jieqi stood at the mouth of the valley, looking across the entire valley.
There are obvious traces of mining on the mountain wall on the east side. The mine hole is dark and open, and the entrance is covered with vines.
There is a gentle slope on the west side, suitable for building houses, and there is a natural stone beam above the mountain stream on the north side.
If a sentry tower is built on top, the entire valley will be in full view.
He walked along the stream, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to explore the water. It was cold, clear, and living water.
The water source that rises up from the underground river is abundant, and this is the foundation of the foundation.
He walked to the mine on the east side and took a look inside. The cave was very dark and there was a faint sound of dripping water.
He didn't go in, but just stood at the entrance of the cave and felt it. The air was flowing and not stuffy.
It means that there are cracks deep in the mine that connect to the outside world. If an underground secret room is to be built in the future, this is a ready-made entrance.
He walked in the valley for more than an hour and trampled every inch of land.
Then he climbed up the ridge on the north side and stood at the highest point, overlooking the entire valley.
The wind blew over, carrying the moist scent of the forest vegetation, causing his silver-white hair to float back.
He thought of the architectural drawings he had seen in his previous life, as well as the castles built on mountains and bases hidden in valleys in World of Warcraft.
The terrain here is better than he expected. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is a natural barrier. The only opening is
As long as a city wall is built, it will create a situation where one man can block the barrier and no one can open it.
Underground rivers provide water sources, mines provide underground space, and gentle slopes provide construction land.
This piece of land seems to have been specially reserved for him by Douluo Planet.
In the center is the main hall, Chapel of Light's Hope, which is used for discussing affairs and spreading faith.
On the east side is the training ground, on the west side are medicine furnaces, medical rooms and functional buildings, and on the north side is a high tower built against the mountain.
It is both a lookout post and a residence for everyone. The underground mines have been transformed into warehouses and secret rooms.
Store supplies and some classics, etc.
There are walls and arrow towers on the outside. Further outside, you can cultivate farmland and raise livestock to achieve self-sufficiency.
It is not built in a day, but it can be built a little bit a year. When Continental Soul Master Tournament opens in two years,
There must be at least a prototype.
He took a deep breath and descended from the ridge.
When he reached the mouth of the valley, he stopped.
There was a man sitting on a stone by the roadside.
He was an old man, about sixty years old, wearing gray plain clothes and holding a dry pipe in his hand.
As he smoked, there was a toolbox beside him, the wooden handle polished until it was shiny.
The old man saw Chen Jieqi coming out of the valley, looked at him with squinted eyes, and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Young man, are you here to see the land?"
Chen Jieqi paused slightly, "How does the old man know?"
"This land has been deserted for seven or eight years, and no one has come."
The old man blew his cigarette butt,
"Several groups of people have come here in the past few days, and they are all those who are engaged in the lumber and stone business in the city.
It is said that someone is going to start work here. I guess the real owner should show up.
Chen Jieqi glanced at him, "The old man is..."
"Old stonemason, surnamed Shi." The old man patted the toolbox next to him.
"Having lived around here for decades, I am not familiar with the rocks and wood in this area.
"If you want to start construction here, I'm the right one to come to."
Chen Jieqi didn't answer immediately. He looked at the old man for a few seconds, and his eyes stopped for a moment on his rough hands and tool box.
"Master Shi," he said,
"This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way out is the valley entrance. If we want to build a city wall at the valley entrance,
Which stone do you think is suitable?"
The old man's eyes lit up, he stood up and pointed to the mountain wall on the east side.
"The bluestone over there is hard enough and has a straight texture. If you cut it out to build a wall, it will not fall down for a hundred years.
There is granite on the west side, which is harder but difficult to mine, so it is suitable for the foundation."
"Where's the water source?"
"The water in the mountain stream comes from underground rivers, which flow continuously all year round. There is a pool under the stone beam in the north. It can be dug to store water."
The old man paused,
"Young man, you didn't just look at it, did you?"
Chen Jieqi did not answer directly. He took out a small bag of Gold Soul Coin from Soul Tool and handed it to the old man.
"Master Shi, please do me a favor. Help me measure the terrain of this valley and draw a picture.
Mark the water source, mines, and buildable areas. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just a rough outline. This is the deposit."
The old man took the money bag, weighed it, and narrowed his eyes.
"Young man, please come here and get the pictures in 7 days."
"Okay."
Chen Jieqi turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, the old man suddenly shouted from behind.
"Young man, what do you plan to build on this land?"
Chen Jieqi never looked back,
"A place where people don't have to be afraid."
The old man was startled for a moment, watching his back disappear on the forest path, and took two puffs of cigarette.
Said to himself, "Weird."
When Chen Jieqi returned to Heaven Dou City, it was already evening.
He did not go back to the college, but went to an inconspicuous teahouse in the east of the city and sat by the window on the second floor.
Watching the people coming and going on the street.
He is thinking about the next step.
Now that the land and blueprint for the mine are available, the old mason is an unexpected gain, but one mason alone is far from enough.
He needs a complete construction team, including carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, and even craftsmen who understand mechanisms.
Defense Clan is a clan that is good at construction and defense.
Niu Gao, Defense Clan patriarch, Soul Douluo level, Martial Soul Plate Armor Giant Rhino, famous for defense.
Among Four Single-Attribute Clans, Defense Clan has the closest relationship with the Breaking Clan. If we can connect them through Yang Wudi,
It's more reliable than coming directly to your door.
But there is no rush now. Let the old mason draw the topography and complete the foundation survey first.
When everything is ready, go to Yang Wudi to ask for a letter of recommendation, or visit him together.
Chen Jieqi picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The lights of Heaven Dou City outside the window were beginning to turn on, and the sounds of street vendors, the sound of horse hooves, and the play of children were mixed together.
Noisy and lively.
He put down his tea cup, got up and went downstairs, paid and went out.
When I walked out of the teahouse, the night breeze blew in my face, carrying the coolness of early autumn.
He looked up at the sky,
There is no moon, but there are stars.
Two years is neither long nor short.
But he is patient.
