Chapter 35 Hand over to Wangzhuang

Amilia hurried back home and told Zhang Ziqiang everything about the king's reward and the rareness of the king's village. Zhang Ziqiang would not have thought that King Carus had started investigating him when the calligraphy box appeared, and he thought that he underestimated the value of the pinyin, which made the king highly reward.

After Zhang Ziqiang learned the connotation represented by Wang Zhuang, he was a little worried. He just wanted to live in this world in a low-key manner and practiced peacefully until the Golden Elixir stage to return home. Now in a Wang Zhuang, he was afraid that he would push him to the forefront.

However, since the king has received a reward, it is impossible to let Zhang Ziqiang refuse on his own initiative. With Wangzhuang, he wants to develop his strength and recruit some guards will be much more convenient. Besides, he probably won’t have any trouble in the near future. The king has received a reward. Isn’t it a slap in the face of His Majesty the King? No big noble is mentally retarded! Maybe when things get dull, those big nobles will send people to test. If His Majesty the King does not respond, he will eat him all the flesh and bones in one bite! That’s why he wants to find a backer.

Zhang Ziqiang was influenced by the world and knew very well that "there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests". In the near future, we must find a profitable project to cooperate with others. Only this kind of relationship that enjoys all benefits is the most reliable. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, so he asked Amilia to find someone to call Dovers back and go to take over Wangzhuang tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia led Kailin and Dovers to leave Kailin's manor by car. This was the first time that Zhang Ziqiang went out publicly during the day after entering the manor. However, with his personality, if he could quickly practice in this manor until the Golden Pill stage, he would not go out!

Karin was very excited along the way. After hearing Zhang Ziqiang's crisis theory on interests yesterday, Amilia lost the interest and just came back. She was happy and she was inevitably worried.

The carriage walked quickly for more than an hour and arrived at the teleportation square. There were a lot of people in the morning, carrying bags of all sizes, waiting for the teleportation. Before the car entered the teleportation square, it turned right and the road became wider. The cars came and went, which was much more lively than the road I just arrived. On the left was a wide moat. On the other side of the moat was the tall wall of the royal capital. On the right was a row of cargo walls. Behind the cargo walls, a row of low walls could be seen. The cart walked forward for another quarter of an hour, turned to the right side of the road, crossed the small street in the middle of the cargo walls, and passed a small city gate. Then Amilia said, "This is our farm!"

"Ah? Isn't this a small castle?"

"With the teleportation square as the center, there are these small forts around the five miles. All the king's villages are within two miles, and two miles away are the villages of the great nobles."

Zhang Ziqiang was about to ask in detail, but the car stopped in front of the inner castle gate. There were two short guards in the inner gate. Old Dovers took the certificate issued by the king and Yang Yang at the two guards, saying, "Thanks to the grace of the king, this manor has been rewarded to my wife yesterday. This is a certificate. Now come to receive the manor. Go and ask the supervisor to hand over it."

The guard on the left took the certificate and looked at it. He also clasped his fists to the carriage and bowed, saying, "Please wait for a moment, and I'll go and ask the manager now."

After a while, the guard just now led a young man of twenty-five or six years old to come. The guard introduced: "This is Baron Carter, the fifth great-grandson of the previous king."

Zhang Ziqiang laughed secretly. This royal family was just a manor manager, and he was in the same position as Liu Bei when weaving mats, but he did not show any strangeness on his face.

Carter took the words proudly and said, "I have been in charge of this manor for four years because of the trust of the king. Yesterday, the palace's internal affairs supervisor sent someone to talk about this matter. I didn't expect you to come early this morning." As he said, he led the four people into the living room of the inner garden.

The five people came to the living room to sit down, and Carter said to Amilia: "Madam, you are so capable. Since you can give the king a reward to the king's village, I wonder how great the merits it has made for the kingdom?"

When Amilia heard this, she knew that Carter did not gain much trust from King Carus. At present, both the pinyin and the lyrics box are still kept secret. He didn't know it was normal, but when he saw His Majesty the King personally rewarded the royal property to an outsider, he would inevitably feel a little jealous and unbalanced.

This is normal, and Amilia was not rude and explained vaguely: "It's nothing, I just gave something to the king. The king liked it very much, so I rewarded the manor."

"Oh!" Carter continued to nag with Amilia as if he hadn't seen Zhang Ziqiang: "Since Kaili's death, the wife has not remarried yet. I am from the royal family and have not married. I am now willing to marry you as the eldest lady, are you willing?"

Zhang Ziqiang thought to himself that although the Baron named Carter is a royal family, he is a winkless person. He would not have asked about it before if he wanted to make money from his personal gain. No wonder, as a member of the royal family, he became the chief manager of a small village! He didn't know that it was not the worst for Carter to be a chief manager in the royal family!

"I have chosen you for your wrong love, and I have someone to choose, the one next to me." Amilia pointed at Zhang Ziqiang and smiled, then sent an invitation and said, "We are going to register for the marriage office soon, and we will invite Baron Carter to have a drink at that time."

Carter then turned his face to look at Zhang Ziqiang. After a moment, he clasped his fists at Zhang Ziqiang and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know the relationship between you, so I'll laugh." After that, he ordered someone to bring the deed and handed it to Amilia.

Carter's behavior made Zhang Ziqiang feel a little favorable. Although this person was not doing well, he could take it and let it go. He tried Amilia a little, and immediately restrained himself when he found that the road was not going well. He put down his aristocratic airs and apologized to him, a civilian. He also replied, "The Baron is so serious, so don't you blame anyone who doesn't know it."

Carter laughed and joked: "It's hard to find a beautiful woman. You have unique vision and admire you!"

He said this vaguely, as if he praised Zhang Ziqiang for his good eyesight. He had long seen Amilia give him a reward to Wangzhuang today. He was very envious and ridiculed Zhang Ziqiang for relying on a woman to make a fuss. The key is how people understand it. Amilia is not easy to interrupt, and she is afraid of losing Zhang Ziqiang's reputation.

Fortunately, Carter did not wait for the two to answer, so he introduced the Wangzhuang: "The entire manor covers an area of ​​300 acres, rectangular, 200 meters wide and 1,000 meters long. It is facing the street in front and behind, but the road surface of the back street is narrow. There are 35 shops in front and back, covering an area of ​​about 50 acres. The outer manor has 96 warehouses, covering an area of ​​200 acres, and the inner manor is a residential area, covering an area of ​​50 acres. You can check it out one by one. The rent for these seventy shops is paid once a month, and the rent for the next month has been paid yesterday, and I have already paid it. You can collect the rent in another month." As he said that, he took out a stack of notes for Amilia to look at, but collected it back.

Amilia was about to ask, but Zhang Ziqiang interrupted and said, "Thank you, Lord Baron for his careful explanation. My family is new to take over and don't know the situation of the tenant. If you need special treatment, please ask the Baron to give me some advice." Amilia saw him saying this, but she stopped talking, but felt distressed in her heart. It was nearly two thousand gold coins, so Carter was embezzled.

When Carter saw Zhang Ziqiang's interest, he was secretly happy. His monthly salary was only 30 gold coins, and two thousand gold coins were equivalent to his five and a half years of income. How could he have the income of the manor be his usual income? He received a notice yesterday and found out that Amilia had no big backer, so she used this transfer to lose a month's rent, which was equivalent to his five and a half years of income, which was also considered a fortune.

Taking money and eliminating disasters with others, let alone Zhang Ziqiang still sells his personal favors in disguise? He now patted his chest and promised that he had been in this Wangzhuang for many years and was very familiar with the joints everywhere. He told Doverth all the time later. After saying that, he would not delay and directly called all the staff of the manor outside the hall. There were 18 guards, two cooks, one servant, one slave, and one old gardener, a total of twenty-three people.

Carter took out the contract letter that had been prepared from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ziqiang, saying, "These people were originally purchased with the income from the manor before, and it should be considered the property of the original owner. You and I could get it right at first sight and I could also give it to you. I will tell you where the manager will."

Zhang Ziqiang glanced at everyone below and smiled and said to Carter: "Thank you, Lord Baron, but there is no need to do this. Since you treat me as a friend, I can't make it difficult for you to do it, right? You should take everyone away and hand it over to the supervisor, so that you can get the job done."

Viscount Carter spoke slightly and hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble! Yesterday, the general manager said that everything about the manor belongs to yours. It was brother. I forgot at the beginning. Haha, don't smear the general manager's kindness."

Zhang Ziqiang looked at everyone below, and saw four guards frowning, and they knew it. Several people went back to the living room. Zhang Ziqiang wrote down the acceptance sign and said to Carter: "Since that's the case, I'll accept it. Thank you Baron, why don't you stay here and have a drink together at noon?"

Carter was not a stupid person either. He stood up and said goodbye, pulling Dovers along while walking, saying, "What is the relationship between tenants and who are just civilians." Then he refused Dovers to arrange a carriage to send him off. He left the gate of the outer village alone and rushed to the capital in a hurry, but a cold sweat broke out on his body, saying in his heart: "It's almost a big deal that the general manager has missed!"

Zhang Ziqiang knew in his heart that those two things would definitely attract attention if they were presented. The king sent someone in, which was the subject of the question. However, Carter, a fool, wanted to buy something better, but he would be exposed as soon as he was squeezed. As for the king, he would have to monitor him. He didn't plan to rebel anyway. If there were good things to be made, the king would have to pay a price. It would be a bit of a loss to do business with the king, but fortunately, he would be stable and would not even spit out the bones after being eaten.

Zhang Ziqiang, these secret agents, wanted to make good use of them. Since the king sent a secret agent, it means that he still attached great importance to this matter. These people can not only monitor the manor, but also use them well, but also use them to the outside world.
