At the same time, he shouted outside: "Send Mr. Huang back."

Someone outside the tent immediately responded.

Huang Chunsheng didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bowed and retreated, and was immediately taken out of the camp.

In the end, Huang Chunsheng couldn't help his curiosity and looked back.

Next to the tent, from a seemingly ordinary carriage, the moment the curtain was lifted, crisp laughter came out.

When the curtain was lowered, the sound was blocked and could no longer be heard.

Huang Chunsheng didn't dare to look anymore. He lowered his eyelids and followed the man. He was sent to the gate of his own camp, and then the man went back with the lantern.

Huang Chunsheng stood there for a while before coming to his senses.

After entering the camp, the confidant who had been taken away earlier had been waiting for a long time. He hurriedly came up to him and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Huang Chunsheng waved his hand: "Nothing, it's late, go to bed first, we can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

The confidant didn't dare to ask more questions, so he bowed and left.

Huang Chunsheng didn't sleep well that night. He tossed and turned until dawn when he finally fell into a daze. When he heard the noise outside, he couldn't fall asleep again.

I got up and washed up casually, and just walked out of the camp, I met Lin Dejiang.

Lin Dejiang saw Huang Chunsheng and walked over to him, punching him in the face. "Brother Huang, you were so rude yesterday! Not only did you get me drunk to get me to talk, but I heard you even asked to see Master Fu?"

Huang Chunsheng's old face flushed, and he said awkwardly, "Look at what you're saying. With the friendship between our two families, you've climbed such a big tree, so you should at least help your brother, right? I'm just thinking that this opportunity is rare, so I'm a little anxious! But I think if you, Brother Lin Shi, encountered such an opportunity, you would do the same as me and seize it, right?"

Lin Dejiang snorted coldly: "If I didn't consider you, Brother Huang, as my own, I wouldn't have allowed myself to drink too much yesterday, right?"

The two old foxes looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Dejiang was naturally happy to see this happen. Although the Lin family's influence in South Vietnam was considerable, it was only in the upper middle level.

If he really returned to South Vietnam, he alone would not be able to withstand the pressure from the top-ranked businesses.

It would be better to bring the Huang family in as well. With the combined strength of the two, we might be able to deal with the situation.

Since they both understood each other's intentions, they didn't dwell on this issue any further.

Lin Dejiang reminded him, "Yesterday I heard you say you were going to the capital. Do you still want to go now?"

Huang Chunsheng immediately said, "I'll just have my men run a trip to the capital. It's only right for me to follow Master Fu back to South Vietnam."

After saying that, he bowed to Lin Dejiang and said, "Let me go and tell the people below me some things first. We brothers will have plenty of time to talk on the way back."

Lin Dejiang waved his hand and watched Huang Chunsheng go back to make arrangements.

Fu Zhiyi was also discussing with Tang Liang: "After crossing this mountain tomorrow, we will be traveling by water. We will reach Nanyue in less than seven or eight days. You, with so many people, definitely cannot enter Nanyue County at once. You will be too conspicuous and easily noticed."

"Choose about twenty people to act as my followers. The rest of you will stay outside the city for now."

Tang Liang nodded, but still asked, "Has everything been arranged outside the city?"

Fu Zhiyi used his eyes to signal Tang Liang to look at Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng who were busy outside. "Aren't these two ready-made errand runners? They are both locals. Use their names to buy two manors outside the city. You will live in the manors for the time being and don't leave easily."

Tang Liang frowned: "Can these two people be trusted? This trip is of great importance and must not be leaked."

Fu Zhiyi's expression was calm. "This is our first time in South Vietnam, so we have to do our business, whether we trust them or not. Merchants are driven by profit, so if we can show them the benefits, they will naturally be trusted! If they don't get any benefits, then they will naturally not be trusted."

"Give them the benefits they want and let them do things for us, that's all! As an official, after arriving in Nanyue County, as long as everyone still wants to stay at the Nanyue table, I will be the best support they can find."

Tang Liang was a straightforward person and only half understood what Fu Zhiyi said.

However, seeing that Fu Zhiyi didn't seem worried at all, he didn't think too much about it.

Anyway, Deputy Commander Wei has told them that they only need to obey Fu Zhiyi's orders, and leave the thinking to these civil servants.

With Huang Chunsheng, the local tyrant, leading the way, the rest of the journey became much smoother.

I have to say that Huang Chunsheng is quite capable. He arranged everything perfectly without Fu Zhiyi having to say anything.

He was in charge of finding the boat and arranging the personnel.

After observing him for two days, Fu Zhiyi felt relieved and gave him and Lin Dejiang a task each.

It means buying a few farms outside the county town, regardless of size or money.

When the two heard this, they thought this was a great opportunity to please Fu Zhiyi, and they patted their chests and expressed their willingness to take care of it.

After they went out, the two looked at each other, their eyes showing a desire to win.

When the ship docked at the pier near Nanyue County, Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng's family were already waiting at the pier with the land deeds.

Everyone has five or six land deeds in their hands, and the sizes of the farms vary.

Some have abundant produce; some are smaller but have nice scenery; some are large but in a more secluded location; and some are close to the county town and convenient for travel; each has its own merits.

Fu Zhiyi looked at the land deed, gestured with the map, and decided on four farms.

One is the nearest, one is the largest, one is the farthest, and one is the most productive.

To be fair, Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng each got two.

After getting the land deed, Fu Zhiyi wanted to pay money, but Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng refused to accept it and just said it was a filial tribute.

Fu Zhiyi waved his hand: "I have just arrived and have not yet taken up my post. How can I ask for your filial gifts? Besides, I don't need this little money. You can pay me filial gifts later."

Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng looked at each other and had to report a number.

Even though Fu Zhiyi didn't know the prices in Nanyue County, he guessed that the price must have been reported too low.

He also knew that if he refused again, Lin Dejiang and Huang Chunsheng would become even more uneasy, so he accepted it with a smile and counted the banknotes on the spot.

The land deed will be stamped by the government in two days.

Because it was already late in the afternoon, it was not very convenient to go into the city at this moment.

Fu Zhiyi asked Huang Chunsheng to clean up the farm closest to the county town first, and wait to settle Lu Zhenzhen in the farm tomorrow.

He took his men to the county town first to take up his post. After understanding the situation, it would not be too late to move to the backyard of the county government office.

When Huang Chunsheng heard that the house was to be given to Lady Lu Zhenzhen, the county lady, he immediately agreed and personally urged someone to do it.

Lin Dejiang was about to offer his courtesy, but was rejected by Fu Zhiyi. "You brought back a lot of goods this time, so go and do your own thing first! I'm also busy these days. I'll see you guys when I'm done."
