Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

"Where did you get so much money?"

Almost in unison, the whole family stared at Ye Changyan in amazement.

"This is the dividend from Yunfeng Building."

"It's only been half a month and there are so many dividends?"

It had only been half a month since their family supplied Yunfeng Tower with fresh Ruji meat. The amount of silver scattered all over the table was a bit too much. Lian Shi couldn't believe it no matter what she said.

"This contract was signed at the beginning of the month. Although it's less than a month, it's more than half a month. The reason why the fresh chicken is only available on the 15th is that Zhong Yunfeng deliberately reserved time for building momentum in all aspects. We have also seen the actual effect. Zhong Yunfeng's arrangement is very smart."

Ye Changyan explained patiently, but seeing the silver scattered on the table, it was impossible for Ye Changyan to be easily convinced, so he continued.

"There are three hundred taels in total, and the dividends from last month are roughly one hundred taels."

The Yunfeng Building had a profit of 260 taels last month, which shocked Ye Changyan. In the second half of the month, after the launch of Rujixian, the profit was almost 200 taels.

Such performance makes Zhong Yunfeng full of expectations for the future of Rujixian and full of enthusiasm.

It also gave Ye Changyan a certain understanding of the consumption power of wealthy families in the county.

"This month, our family can get a dividend of 100 taels?"

Lian couldn't believe her ears, and the whole family looked at Ye Changyan excitedly.

"This Rujixian has just been launched, and with Zhong Yunfeng's various promotions, the business will definitely be hot in the early stage. After entering the stable period, I think it will decline, but I believe it will not decline too much."

The whole family was still excited. They were happy just thinking about it. They really made money from the mushrooms they grew. It was like a treasure pot.

"Then this is not one hundred taels? How come you only got back three hundred taels?"

Ye Xiaozheng was still clear-headed and asked.

"Zhong Yunfeng saw a yard in the county town. The owner wanted to sell it and asked for three hundred taels. So Zhong Yunfeng gave me three hundred taels and wanted me to buy the yard."

The whole family listened attentively.

"We're not going to be able to pick mushrooms if we move to the county town. We won't be able to make fresh chicken dishes like this!"

Wulang was originally tempted to move to the county town, but after some hesitation, he realized the problem.

Erniu also nodded rapidly, agreeing very much with Wulang's idea.

Seeing that the brother and sister were staring at the silver on the table, but neither of them agreed to go to the county town, Ye Xiaozheng and Lian also nodded.

"I didn't agree to Zhong Yunfeng's offer, but thinking of his kindness, I accepted all the money. I told him that the extra money was an advance payment for the subsequent dividends."

After hearing what Ye Changyan said, the whole family nodded in agreement.

"I don't plan to buy a yard, not only for the reason Wu Lang mentioned, but also because of what assets our family has now? If we move to the county town, we won't have any means of livelihood. We will have to rely on the dividends from Yunfeng Building to live, which is not a long-term plan."

Ye Changyan was very pleased to see the whole family nodding at him.

"The most important thing for us right now is to find more ways, so I plan to buy land first."

This finally convinced my parents, and after some discussion the family all agreed to use the money to buy the land first.

However, Lian once again emphasized that the two gold ingots must not be spent under any circumstances.

Now that an agreed-upon outcome had been reached, the next topic revolved around purchasing the land.

"Isn't the brother-in-law who is tied up a toothcutter?"

Ye Xiaozheng asked Lian with some uncertainty.

"Yes, Mrs. Zhang's brother is the broker who helps people to make deals."

"Then I'll go to my uncle's house tomorrow and ask him."

What Ye Changyan needs is efficiency. Seeing that the autumn ploughing is about to end, he has to seize the opportunity. Once he misses the farming season, he will lose a season's harvest.

The next morning, Ye Changyan went to the village head's house and found out that the village head's brother-in-law was indeed a broker.

The head of the village went to the county town to do some work early in the morning, and when Zhang heard that Ye Changyan was looking for her brother, she enthusiastically offered to lead Ye Changyan.

San Ya stayed behind to look after the house, and Si Tou naturally went out with Zhang.

"Brother Changyan, I know the way. I'll go ahead and lead the way for you."

Ye Changyan smiled at the four beasts, while Zhang let her youngest son run in front. It seemed that the four beasts really knew the way.

The chubby little four-legged kid insisted on walking in the front. Perhaps this is the competitive spirit that every child has in childhood.

Zhang's parents' home was not too far away, just near the edge of Qingshan Town, and they soon arrived outside the Zhang family's courtyard.

Next to a group of adobe houses and thatched houses, a courtyard with large green brick and tile houses stands before your eyes.

It seems that Zhang's family is quite well off.

"Mom, is my little brother home?"

When Zhang pushed open the gate, she saw an old woman sitting in the yard picking beans.

"Big sister, why are you back?"

When the old woman saw that it was her daughter who came back with her little grandson, she quickly put down the bamboo plaque in her hand and went to greet them.

"grandmother!"

He quickly jumped up to the old woman.

"Mother-in-law!"

Ye Changyan greeted the old woman, and the old woman looked at Zhang with some confusion.

"Mother, this is the scholar husband in our village, the third son of the Ye family, Ye Changyan."

"Oh, come on, Mr. Ye, come in and sit down."

When the old woman heard her daughter's introduction, she immediately became like a different person. She became much more solemn in an instant, put her little grandson down, and went forward to greet the guests.

"Mother-in-law, you're welcome."

Seeing the old woman's actions, Ye Changyan hurriedly declined and followed the old woman into the house.

"Mom, Sanlang came here to talk to me about something."

Seeing her mother being so polite, Zhang hurriedly explained the purpose of her visit.

"Hey, big sister, please help me greet Mr. Ye first. I'll go call Xiaofei. He was drinking in town last night and came back very late. He hasn't gotten up yet."

As she said this, the old woman ran towards the backyard in a hurry. Her agile movements did not match her appearance at all.

Just as Zhang poured water for Ye Changyan, she saw a young man in his twenties walking quickly out from the backyard, followed closely by the old woman.

"This must be the scholar husband of the Ye family, right?"

The young man politely stepped forward and greeted Ye Changyan.

"Sanlang, this is my younger brother from my mother's family, Zhang Fei."

"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Sanlang."

After some polite exchanges, Ye Changyan stated his purpose.

"What a coincidence!"

Zhang Fei clapped his hands and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"Sanlang, what a coincidence! The person who invited me to drink last night was in a hurry to sell the land."

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Ye Changyan was also a little surprised, so he decided to go with Zhang Fei to take a look at the land first.

Zhang Fei was an impatient man. He had just gotten up from bed and was about to go out without having breakfast. The old woman quickly took out a few steamed buns from the hot steamer on the stove.

While handing them to his younger son, he also stuffed two into Ye Changyan.

Ye Changyan had no choice but to accept it and followed Zhang Fei out the door.
