spooky invasion

Chapter 1182
The owner here is a drop ear tribe.The human body of this family has visions, with two ears hanging over the shoulders, and it is also a very strange existence in the entire earth core family.

According to legend, the life expectancy of this family is exaggerated, at least three to five times longer than the average earth core family.Ordinary earth-centered people can live to be dozens or hundreds of years old, but the drop-eared people can live to more than two hundred years old, which is extremely exaggerated.

And the appearance of the drop ear family is also excellent.From Jiang Yue's point of view, the Lop-Eared Clan looks similar to humans in the surface world.Except for the pair of exaggerated lop ears, I am afraid that in the surface world it can be regarded as a dignified appearance.

And the owner of this castle, named Cen Qi, looks graceful, but there is a feeling of calm and prestige.

Although the Lop Ears are not considered to be the top ten golden ethnic groups in the Earth's core world, they are still a relatively special ethnic group, and they can be regarded as a group with some status in the Earth's core world.

Of course, the Lop Ears are calm and introverted, they don't like to deal with the outside world, and they may even look a little aloof and unkind to the outside world.

"Everyone, have some tea." Cen Qi greeted lightly, and then dropped his hands on his knees, falling into a state of calm silence.

The drop-eared people not only have long ears, but also long hands and feet.The hands are drooping, which makes people feel very graceful.

Jiang Yue observed silently, he knew that it was not his turn to speak on this occasion.

And the old bus also felt a little bit at a loss as to how to speak to Cen Qi, the owner of the castle.

On the contrary, Master Qian, who has been hanging out with Master Duo of the Baoshu clan, has a little more confidence in this situation.

Lao Tzu mixed up with the big bosses of the top ten golden tribes, the Baoshu tribe, what kind of spectrum do you have for a drop-eared tribe?

"Master Cen Qi, that's what happened..." Seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, Lord Qian simply went straight to the point, telling the truth about his intentions.

Before Cen Qi said anything, a butler-like Lottery Clan behind him declined first: "Everyone, we Lottery Clan have never had much contact with the outside world. It is true that there are thousands of acres of spiritual land, but We have already made arrangements. It is really impossible to tell the extra spirit land to serve you. Moreover, we have rarely had outsiders enter here, and no outsiders have ever stayed here for a long time. Your elixir cycle takes one year, and we here Obviously, it cannot meet your needs. Please find another suitable place."

The words were very euphemistic, but the meaning of rejection was very clear, and there was no room for maneuver.

Master Qian was a little displeased, and glanced at Cen Qi lightly, completely ignoring the butler: "Villa Master Cen Qi, it is true that we are taking the liberty this time. It is also an emergency, and no one expected the disaster of smoke from the ground. Please help us this time, and I, the Baoshu Clan, owe the owner a favor."

Cen Qi said lightly: "Everyone, please return the tea after you've used it."

Master Qian looked worried: "Master, this matter will not cause any loss to you. On the contrary, you can get a large amount of rental fees. Why not do it? Please think twice, owner, you might as well think about it in a different way."

The butler frowned and said: "Friends, I have made it very clear. We Lop Ears rarely deal with the outside world. We are not used to outsiders staying in our territory for such a long time. Please respect our customs. This is not We are not close to human feelings, but the custom is like this, there is nothing we can do about it.”

If it were in the past, Master Qian would have had a seizure long ago.Is this so oily and salty?

But right now it's not time to turn around, and after all, it's in other people's territory.

Immediately, he changed his mind and persuaded: "Master Cen Qi, with all due respect, I have also seen your spiritual lands before, which are completely wasteful. Most of the spiritual lands are in a state of neglect, and it is a waste to plant those common crops. And the ones you tried to plant Those elixirs are also half-dead, and they are basically amateurs messing around. Instead of wasting it like this, it is better to cooperate with us. We have experts in planting elixir here. It was abandoned there, do you know how big the loss is?"

When he spoke before, his lips were dry, and Cen Qi was indifferent, his face was like a poker face with no expression.But after hearing Master Qian's words, he couldn't help being a little moved.

"How much is the loss?"

The housekeeper was in a hurry: "Master, he is trying to seduce the public with evil words, and he wants to take the opportunity to sneak into our territory. He is deliberately deceiving you. We must not listen to their nonsense. It is easy to ask the gods to turn around, but it is difficult to send the gods away."

It would be understandable for an ordinary housekeeper to consider the interests of the owner.But the butler was so anxious that he wanted to keep all outsiders out of the manor, and his aggressive behavior was somewhat outrageous.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Master Qian stared at the housekeeper coldly: "Looking at you, you should be the house owner's housekeeper. Since ancient times, housekeepers have always considered the interests of their master. What do you mean? Are you afraid that your master will make money? Talk to your master Enmity or something? Don’t care about the benefits that are obviously brought to your door? Does your housekeeper have some shady selfishness?"

As soon as these words were said, it was like stepping on the tail of the butler of the Lop Ear Tribe, making this guy jump up all of a sudden.

"Okay, I know that you outsiders have no good intentions. Owner, these people have ulterior motives. They are clearly here to provoke our relationship and make us feel uneasy. I think they rented the spiritual land to plot our castle. It's true. Please tell the owner of the villa, never let wolves enter the house. Please order the owner to expel them immediately and order them not to approach the manor again."

The butler really got anxious, staring at Master Qian, Master Ba and the others, as if there was a big disagreement, he ordered his subordinates to fight in groups.

Ba Ye also spoke at this time, with a chuckle: "Master, I am also a housekeeper just like this housekeeper. My master's foundation is under the Hengfeng Mountains more than 1000 miles away. My master's business is doing extremely well. Big, and there are many friends from south to north. I have been a housekeeper for so many years, and I have never seen a housekeeper like you. You are afraid that the master will make money, and you will forcefully push away the benefits of the door-to-door. I don’t mean to provoke Your relationship, but from a professional point of view, such a housekeeper is undoubtedly outrageous and unqualified."

The butler's face was livid, and he shouted: "Come here, get rid of these monsters who are bewitching people. If you resist, just slash and kill them."

Master Qian sneered: "I'm from the Baoshu Clan. I don't think any of you have such courage. The owner, you are so arrogant and domineering. I can't help but wonder whether the owner is you or him? I see you This owner, isn't it just a decoration?"

For the first time, Cen Qi showed displeasure on his calm face. He slapped the table and shouted, "Old Zhu, shut up. Do you really think I'm dead?"

After being scolded like this, the butler Lao Zhu had an imperceptible venomous look in his eyes, but he suppressed it after all.

"Master, I'm thinking about our foundation. These people are not kind."

Lord Qian sneered and said: "My treasure tree clan is such a noble existence, why should we covet your little bit of foundation? Let's say the owner of this old bus, Master Hu, his manor is not smaller than yours, and his business may be ten times that of yours. Master Cen Qi, I'm not talking about you, you are located in a remote place, and the outside world doesn't know much about this place. If you are well known by the outside world, you will not be able to keep this foundation if you keep it to yourself like this!"

Cen Qi was displeased, and frowned, "Your Excellency is alarmist, right? I have a castle, a high wall, great soldiers, food, and a huge foundation. Why can't I keep it?"

"Hehe, it's because you don't know how fierce the bandits outside are. Just your high wall is high enough, but can it stop those fierce and savage bandits? Have your so-called heroes fought tough battles? How much will you have to fight? Qiang, will you pee your pants in the face of a bleeding dead person?"

Cen Qi didn't know if he was stupid, or as if he had been hit by a soft spot, so he didn't make a sound for a while.

Master Qian followed the temptation: "Master, I won't say anything else. If you make good use of your thousands of acres of spiritual land, your annual income will be calculated in tens of millions of silver coins. But I think your method of playing, I'm afraid I have to post a lot of them in a year? What do you mean if this is not a waste of money?"

Cen Qi was inevitably a little surprised: "Dozens of millions of silver coins? Are you exaggerating?"

"I'm not exaggerating at all. The owner of this old bus is Lord Hu. He has hundreds of thousands of acres of spiritual land in his manor and helps us plant elixir. It takes just over a year. The order amount is 20 silver coins. Labor And many costs will not exceed 15 silver coins. The net income is at least [-] silver coins. And your spiritual land is at least four to five thousand acres. It works well, why is it impossible for millions?"

Ba Ye was a little uncomfortable.

Why is Ah Qian revealing all kinds of business secrets, don't you know how to avoid it?It would not be a good thing if the outside world knew that the manor made so much money.

Even the mushroom people like Zuyao, who earn 15 silver coins a month, but the manor can earn 15 silver coins a year, might be a little bit cautious.

Most importantly, he was even more worried that if the Baoshu clan bypassed their manor in the future and signed a cooperation agreement with Cen Qi's manor.The blow to their manor will be enormous.

But right now, he can't come out to pour cold water.If Cen Qi refused to cooperate, their transplant plan would not be able to be implemented, and it would be difficult to pass this test.

Now is not the time to think about the future, take care of the present first.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.

Even if you are isolated from the world, even if you don't like to deal with the outside world, you are aloof and lonely, but you can reject outsiders, but you cannot refuse the temptation of money.

Especially in the current situation of Cen Qi, he is very clear that his manor is now a sham shell, but in fact, the internal treasury is already very empty, and it has been unable to make ends meet for many years, and has been living on its laurels.

Just relying on the land on both sides of the strait and collecting some rent from the villagers is not enough to maintain the high-quality life of the castle.

What's more, he has to raise a fighting team to guard the house.The shiny armor and weapons and the tall horses all require a lot of silver coins to maintain.

In the early years, the manor had other industries, such as minerals, oil mills, weaving, etc., but these industries have gradually withered in the past 20 years.The sale of the sale, the abandonment of the abandonment, in a word, it is four words, and the situation is declining.

And all of this is due to the housekeeper Lao Zhu's diligent housekeeping and encouragement to maintain the current situation.

Otherwise, according to Lao Zhu's words, I'm afraid life in the castle will be even more difficult, far worse than it is now.

Since he was born, Cen Qi inherited Zhuangzi when he was less than 15 years old. He has hardly been away from the castle all his life.

The ups and downs outside did not capture the interior of the castle.

Since taking over, he has been instilled with a concept every day, to trust the housekeeper Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu is a loyal minister of the Cen family, and he is completely devoted to the Cen family.

Let Lao Zhu take care of everything in the manor, this is the concept that Cen Qi has been instilled all along.

When he was young, he had always been obedient, accepting what Old Zhu said.

But no matter how innocent Cen Qi is, as he grows older, as a manor owner with normal intelligence, he will always have some normal thoughts and think about things that he couldn't think of when he was young.

Why when I took over the manor, the life of the manor was obviously very good, and all kinds of industries were booming.

Cen Qi also secretly checked the castle's account books over the years.

Compared with the income when he took over, the income of the castle has shrunk to almost one-fifth now.The annual income is not even enough for one hundred thousand silver coins.

Instead of cutting spending, spending has increased every year.As a result, the current annual deficit is more than 20 silver coins.

If it weren't for the wealth accumulated by the castle for hundreds of years, such a deficit would have dragged down the manor long ago.

But seeing how he can't make ends meet year after year, Cen Qi would be lying if he said he wasn't in a hurry.If the defeat continues like this, the son will not be able to take over, and I am afraid that the castle will be over.

That's why Cen Qi reacted so passionately when he heard what Master Qian said.

In the spiritual land alone, tens of millions of dollars were lost in a year?

Cen Qi only felt that his head was buzzing, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

In other words, if the spiritual land is managed well, it will be enough to turn the castle into a profit, and there will be a large surplus.

Why is life so aggrieved, so worried?

Old Zhu urged urgently: "The owner, these are all their one-sided words. Our manor has been farming the most of the land. When did we hear that there is such an income? I think they have bad intentions and want to break into our castle. There is some ulterior purpose."

The relationship between people is very delicate.

When Cen Qi trusted Lao Zhu with all his heart, he believed everything Lao Zhu said.Cen Qi firmly believed no matter how absurd or rumored it was.

But once the seeds of doubt are planted, no matter what Lao Zhu says, the first thing he thinks of is doubt.

Especially between the words of Lao Zhu and Master Qian, Cen Qi believed in Master Qian immediately, not Lao Zhu.

It can be seen that the doubts in Cen Qi's heart have been accumulated for a long time, and it is not a matter of a day or two.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Old Zhu was in charge of the management of the manor, but it was Wang Xiaoer who celebrated the new year, and every year was not as good as every year. Cen Qi was not a fool, so how could he not be suspicious?
