Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 648 Choosing a Mountain to Build a Courtyard

Finally, Chu Chen took out two pieces of jade essence, sent the maid away, and left the room.

Then he was led by his attendants to Du Yueshen's study.

"Senior, please have a seat. Did you rest well last night?" Du Yueshen greeted Chu Chen with a smile as soon as he arrived.

Chu Chen walked to his seat and sat down.

Then, smiling at Du Yueshen, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Magistrate Du. It was very good, especially that little girl, she was excellent!"

"Haha, I didn't expect Senior Chu to be such a sentimental person. You can keep this little maid with you!"

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this. In fact, he had his own reasons for bringing that little maid along.

Since you've already asked one person, don't bother asking others.

Moreover, since he had already shown his ignorance to this maid, it was safest to keep her by his side.

"In that case, thank you, Magistrate Du!"

"Senior Chu, you're too kind. May I ask if you have any plans for the future?"

Du Yueshen looked at Chu Chen and expressed her concerns.

As long as Chu Chen is willing to stay in Tongluo County, he will be able to find a way to keep Chu Chen firmly tied to this place.

For the entire Tongluo County, that provides a guarantee of safety.

It should be noted that there is no precedent in the entire Anchang Kingdom for a county town with a master of the Earth Realm in charge.

Chu Chen understood what he was thinking. From the very beginning, when Jin Bei and Wang Da were fighting over him, he understood his importance to them.

As for the so-called central city, Chu Chen wasn't very interested.

His goal was to develop stealthily and let those people lie down and die.

"Next, I plan to buy a piece of land in your area and settle down."

"Does Magistrate Du have any good places to recommend?"

Upon hearing that Chu Chen wanted to buy land and settle down, Du Yueshen immediately became excited.

Buying land and settling down means that this expert from the Earth Realm will stay in Tongluo County.

So he quickly stood up and said, "Senior Chu, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle it perfectly."

"Just tell me your requirements!"

Chu Chen guessed he would be excited, but he didn't expect him to be so generous; it was obviously meant for him.

At this moment, he felt that his strength was still very useful.

Next, I will definitely drink plenty of water and strive to reach that so-called divine realm. Then, those who follow me will surely be able to ascend to heaven.

So he politely said to Du Yueshen, "Then I'll have to trouble Magistrate Du. My requirements aren't high: I just need mountains, water, and farmland, about a thousand acres in size. If that's too much trouble, I'll look for other places!"

Du Yueshen chuckled to himself after hearing this; Tongluo County had no shortage of land.

In mountainous areas, with mountains and water, things are quite simple.

A mere thousand acres of land? That's too easy.

"Senior Chu, with your strength, a thousand acres is too little. How about this, give me two days, and I will definitely find a treasure for you."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Magistrate Du!"

"Don't worry, I have several friends who are at the Grandmaster level, as well as family members who are at the Grandmaster level or above, who will also settle in Tongluo County."

Du Yueshen couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

And then there are Grandmasters arriving, and even those above the Grandmaster level arriving.

This was the happiest day he had had since taking office as county magistrate.

Imagine if Tongluo County had so many experts stationed there, then who in the surrounding counties could compete with it?

"No trouble at all, Senior Chu, please wait for my good news."

After saying that, he disregarded official business and rushed out of the study to personally lead his men to find a location.

With nothing else to do, Chu Chen strolled over to Niu Er and the others' place.

Behind him followed the little girl from yesterday.

The county government office is quite large. Without someone to guide you, you might accidentally wander into the women's area, which would be bad.

"Brother Chu, you've arrived!"

Niu Er was overjoyed to see Chu Chen and immediately brought him a stool.

"Hehe, Brother Niu Er, how are you staying?"

“Great, very good. We are all poor people. When have we ever lived in such a nice house? We owe it all to Brother Chu.”

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this: "Between you and me, there's no need for formalities!"

"If things go smoothly, we'll have a large piece of land with mountains, water, and fields in a while."

After hearing this, Niu Er smiled, a smile appearing on his face and on the faces of the people of his Niujia Village.

They were not suited to city life; on the contrary, they longed for their own land, a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

In this way, life becomes simpler.

Two days later, Chu Chen got up and walked out of the house, only to see Du Yueshen waiting at the door.

"Senior Chu, we've found the place. Shall we take you there to take a look?"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that their speed in getting things done was really fast.

So he quickly said to Du Yueshen, "Then I'll have to trouble Magistrate Du."

After saying that, Chu Chen and Du Yueshen boarded a prepared carriage.

Wang Da was also riding a horse, following beside the carriage.

After walking about seventy or eighty li from the county government office, a large mountain appeared before Chu Chen's eyes.

The three of them got off the carriage and walked away.

After passing a bend in the road surrounded by mountains, you will see a large open space in front of you.

A river runs through the area surrounding the open space.

Such terrain immediately caught Chu Chen's attention.

To be honest, the flat land is located between two mountains.

These flat areas, with the presence of rivers, are perfectly suitable for cultivation and planting.

The flat land is flanked by high mountains, which seem to form a natural barrier, enclosing the middle area.

In the middle of this flat land, there is a raised hill.

After observing for a while, Chu Chen wondered why no one had developed such a paradise-like place.

So he turned to Du Yueshen and asked, "Magistrate Du, is this really unclaimed land?"

“That’s right, Senior Chu. The environment here is indeed quite good. The only drawback is that it’s too far from the county town and the roads are rugged, so it has never been noticed by anyone.”

Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that with this place, building a second Mashan Village would be a piece of cake.

One cannot dwell on things from the past.

The small hill in the middle, right next to the river, is an excellent place to live.

A small villa stands atop the mountain, surrounded by houses below, with a winding mountain road spiraling upwards.

Where else can you find a place like this?

"Alright, Magistrate Du, this place is fine. I want this whole area, including the mountains. You can calculate the price."

Since land is not a cultivation resource, it is still purchased in exchange for silver on this continent.

Upon hearing this, Du Yueshen excitedly said, "Senior Chu, it is my honor that you came to my Tongluo County. How could I dare to ask you for money?"
