After training for more than ten days on the Daqing Mountain, Jing Chunxi felt that his legs had become much stronger. Although he was still left behind by the two of them in running, he felt that he was faster.

There was a different feeling when I was in the air, but I still felt like something was not quite right, like I wanted to fly but couldn't.

I've also gotten used to just tapping the ground with my toes to move forward, which isn't as strenuous as before.

"Xiao Man! Look, I'm almost done learning it, right?" Jing Chunxi was so excited that his voice was filled with excitement.

Scratching the top of her head with her hand, Xiao Man smiled slightly: "It seems~~It should be about the same."

Judging from the young lady's level, there is still some gap between her and him, but he didn't dare to say it too bluntly.

"Even if you practice for another two or three years, you still won't be able to catch up with Xiaoman!" Jing Chunxi really hated hearing such a tone, and she suppressed her excitement.

"You don't know how to praise people at all? You're so harsh even on children. No wonder~~No wonder~~"

Jing Chunxi became more and more angry as he spoke, but he rushed forward at an even faster speed than before.

Finally, we can occasionally see our own people in plain clothes on the mountain. They are well-trained and don’t pay much attention to others.

Unless they were needed to help with training, those people would rarely show up in front of them. Even if they met them, they would at most nod slightly and salute Jing Yi.

But they ignored the two little brats. Jing Yi didn't introduce them, and they didn't greet him or stop, just like passers-by.

Now that he had a follower, Jing Chunxi would always take Xiaoman with him to wander around the top of the mountain during breaks. The two of them would occasionally catch a pheasant or chase a wild rabbit with their bare hands, and they enjoyed it very much.

They knew everything on the mountain by heart, and even through the dense trees, they could distinguish the neighbors under the Daqing Mountain, and had a general understanding of the terrain and orientation.

Daqing Mountain is very high. Standing on the top, you can see all the other mountains. What is vaguely visible is the fog and unpredictability of the capital city.

one day,

On the way back, he couldn't help but take the initiative to reconcile and asked Jing Yi: "Master, does this Daqing Mountain have an owner? Will the court intervene?"

Daqing Mountain is located at the back of the Daqing Mountain Range and is also the highest point.

It is far away from the official road. There was not even a village road here originally. The nearby villages all had people buy the land first and then build the roads themselves.

This is the situation in their two villages, Qingshan Village and Qingshuihe Village, which is why they are rarely visited by people.

But even so, there are still many mountain people who go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and look for mountain products, but they will not easily reach the top.

Occasionally, young masters from the capital would go into the mountains to hunt. Although they might not reach the highest peak, they would still disturb the tranquility on the top of the mountain to some extent.

If we can buy the main peak of Daqing Mountain, it should be much safer, and we will have fewer concerns when building defenses.

Just like the Fubo Ridge that originally belonged to the Fourth Prince, if it weren't for his royal status and if he didn't occupy the land to claim his throne, he wouldn't be able to casually build a villa there, let alone set up checkpoints at various intersections.

Jing Yi didn't expect her to ask such a question, so he slowed down his pace. But he thought for a moment before telling her the truth.

"Uncle Jing has someone check at the government office. Except for the mountains in the Daqing Mountains that are close to the official roads and more convenient for carriages and horses, they have already been bought. The rest, like the Daqing Mountains, are far away and no one is interested in them. Even the mountain folks who come to collect firewood think the peaks are too high and are unwilling to go up.

Buying mountains, land and shops is all for profit. Daqing Mountain, which is so high, is not profitable. Secondly, it does not have any unique scenery and there is not even a hot spring. It is also a long way to go. Merchants will not be so stupid.

If the royal family didn't have the same ambition as the Fourth Prince, they wouldn't bother to even think about it."

For some reason, Jing Chunxi always felt something was wrong with whatever Jing Yi said, as if he was always questioning her intelligence, which made her very unhappy.

Xiaoman respectfully calls him Master, and Jing Chunxi would occasionally call him that a few times, but he never considers himself a Master.

Handsome is not annoying, but uncles are really annoying. Jing Chunxi retorted: "We are not businessmen!"

And we are ambitious!

When she hit the point, Jing Yi's eyes finally showed some warmth, but he still looked at her with curiosity and surprise.

Then he said, "We've roughly estimated that the highest Daqing Mountain, plus the two adjacent secondary peaks, is about fifty miles in radius. If we want to buy it from the government, the price would be at least 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver, not including the cost of handling and the deed money."

Jing Yi spoke these words slowly, but in great detail, not as if he had just learned about it.

Jing Chunxi was delighted, as if he had found a confidant: "Actually, Master also wanted to buy it, right?"

If you hadn't considered buying it, why would you go out and measure this vast, empty mountain, and even know its price? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Ask the mountain folks picking mushrooms, and they'll understand.

Someone looked at her helplessly, then shook his head, as if he had his reasons, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Jing Chunxi urged: "Or go back and discuss it with your mother, maybe it will work out."

Jing Yi still shook his head: "I know this. It was quite difficult to buy the Qingshui River farm in the first place. Building houses and roads also cost so much. If I bring it up again, it will only cause trouble for you."

In fact, when he first arrived at Qingshan Villa, he had hinted to Jing Qiurong about it. Although he was not direct, his girl was smart enough to understand what he was saying.

Facing Jing Chunxi, Jing Yi shook his head again: "I shouldn't have mentioned this in the first place. How can we have so much money in our current situation?"

He remembered that when he told this matter, Jing Qiurong was silent for a long time, but in the end she said nothing. The biggest difficulty must be money, so he couldn't bring up the past again at this time and make the girl work hard in vain.

It is very painful to want to do something but not be able to do it. He can empathize with this and doesn't want his girl to suffer this way.
