All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

After resting for a while, Zhou Yongcheng went to the gate and asked the guard to tell the old man that a batch of goods had arrived.

Not long after, the old man arrived at the mansion with his entourage, including Secretary Zhao.

Secretary Zhao and the others stood in the courtyard without going inside; only the old man and Zhou Yongcheng sat in the main hall chatting.

"The books and items you sent from the future have been of great help to us. With the help of the books from the future, our scientists have made breakthroughs in many areas."

"As long as it helps, that's fine. I'm just afraid that what I send will be useless."

"You can't say that. Anything from the future world would be helpful to us in our time."

"I brought a lot of books this time, which is more comprehensive than the previous two times, as well as many technological products."

Zhou Yongcheng led the old man into the backyard, where he saw a mountain of things piled up.

The old man was curious about everything he saw, so he asked Zhou Yongcheng about it.

Zhou Yongcheng began explaining to the elderly man.

The goods included desktop computers, monitors, mainframes, printers, fax machines, auto parts, generators, and other miscellaneous items. Zhou Yongcheng didn't have a fixed list of items to buy; he just bought whatever he saw.

The old man looked at the dazzling array of things, which truly broadened his horizons.

"Good, good, with these books and things, the scientists in the research institute will be unable to sleep."

The researchers in the institute are now working day and night, frantically absorbing knowledge from books about the future world and then conducting their research.

If the marshal hadn't set the schedule, they probably wouldn't know what sleep was.

"That's all for now. I have some things to take care of in the real world, so I'll send things over after I'm done with this."

"It's alright, there's enough stuff here for our scientists to digest."

The two walked out of the inner courtyard, and the old man had people start moving things.

The old man chatted with Zhou Yongcheng for about fifteen minutes before leaving.

"Sir, the commander sent some things over and left them in the lobby," Secretary Zhao said.

"Okay, I understand. How's the factory going?"

The things the old man brought were probably jade and medicinal herbs.

"The instant noodle factory has already started producing instant noodles, but they don't look as good as the ones you gave us. Soap and regular soap have also started production. Everything we produce is sold in our own stores," Secretary Zhao said.

"You can handle the business matters yourselves. I only have one requirement: the prices of the products we produce cannot be too outrageous."

"Don't worry, sir, the price is not much different from the market price."

"Didn't I also provide other formulas and production processes? How come there are only three products in production?"

"Because it's difficult to recruit workers, and the government has opened several factories in Yanjing, most of the workers have been recruited by the government. So Chunming and I discussed it and decided to wait until next year to produce other products."

The government has launched a project, but we don't know what it is—is it for cars? Motorcycles? Or something else?

"Do you know what the state-run factories produce?" Zhou Yongcheng asked Secretary Zhao directly.

"They are all factories related to automobiles."

After chatting with Secretary Zhao for a while, Zhou Yongcheng went to the area in the lobby where jade and emeralds were placed. There were several boxes of jade and emeralds as well as various precious medicinal materials.

There are so many things, I don't know when I'll be able to sell them all.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, Zhou Yongcheng sat on a recliner and began practicing telekinesis.

After practicing for several hours, Zhou Yongcheng returned to the real world.

After driving away from the warehouse and returning home, Zhou Yongcheng went to the Zhengyangmen Underworld to practice telekinesis.

In the real world, Zhou Yongcheng prepared a sumptuous breakfast. After eating, he left the yard and walked on the road outside the house.

He hadn't gone far when he saw an old man in his fifties working in the field.

Through his conversation with the elderly man, Zhou Yongcheng learned why the homeowner had sold the house.

It turns out the homeowner was also from here, and he was indeed an official. Zhou Yongcheng also knew why the homeowner wanted to sell the house. The homeowner's son was a businessman who immigrated abroad after his business grew. In the past two years, his son wanted to bring them over as well, which is why the homeowner sold the house and went abroad.

Now, only the homeowner's family remains in China; everyone else has gone abroad.

“Uncle Liu, I don’t know whose land is behind the house and on both sides of it. I want to buy the land on both sides of the house and the mountain behind it,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

“The land to the left of your house belongs to one family, the land to the right belongs to another family, and the mountain behind it belongs to yet another family. The land where your house is located originally belonged to me, but I later sold it to Liu Laowu.”

"I would like you to act as a go-between and introduce me to the owners of these three places. What do you think?"

"no problem."

And so, through Liu Haiguo's connections, Zhou Yongcheng spent tens of millions to buy all the land surrounding the house.

After dinner, Zhou Yongcheng went out for a stroll. He walked a few minutes from the gate to the main road.

He practiced telekinesis while taking a walk, making the most of every spare moment.

Zhou Yongcheng's place is Huanbei Street, and the place where his house is located is called Heshangtian.

Huanbei Subdistrict is located in the north of Tonghuai City. There are many logistics companies in this area, so there are many warehouses. Zhou Yongcheng's rented warehouse is also located here. There is also a small industrial park here, which contains many small factories.

Although Heshangtian is a bit remote, there are buses available. If Tonghuai City is to be developed again, Heshangtian may become the next wave of households to be relocated, but the timing is uncertain.

A few hundred meters in front of Zhou Yongcheng's house is a river that runs through the entire Tonghuai area; the river is called Jinjiang.

After wandering around outside for more than half an hour, Zhou Yongcheng went to Zhengyangmen again to practice telekinesis.

The next morning, Zhou Yongcheng bought some things and drove back to his hometown. He planned to demolish and rebuild his old house and stay there for a while.

It took Zhou Yongcheng more than an hour to get back to the village. His second uncle was still helping people repair houses, and his second aunt was busy with farm work.

"Yongcheng, are you going to outsource the entire house repair or just hire some workers?" Auntie asked.

"Is there a construction team in the village that specializes in building houses?"

“There are hardly any young people left in the village, just some old guys. There are no construction teams here, but there are construction teams in town that specialize in building houses.”

Zhou Yongcheng thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask the uncles and elders in the village to help demolish the house first, and then we'll leave the rest of the house repair to the construction team."

“You probably don’t know many of the people in the village. After breakfast, ask Yongqiang to go and invite them. He’s been staying at home for the past few years and knows everyone in the village.”

"Auntie is so thoughtful. How much does it cost to hire someone for help these days?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"If it's just demolishing the house, you don't have to pay, but you have to provide food and two packs of cigarettes a day."

Zhou Yongcheng nodded. He thought that nowadays you have to pay people to help you. He had heard that in many rural areas, people would pay you to help them, and they wouldn't help if they didn't pay you.
