Chapter 22: Start the game
The only reason why Hao Jiazhi saved these 30 captives is that he wanted to irritate Hao Ming and make sure he doesn't win no matter how hard he tried
Present story-
3 months passed by since New Year came and finally, Hao Jiazhi's new house had been fully built
Before going back home, Hao Jiazhi clearly stated that Duan Yin will be the taking the head maid or head servants position, who will take care of everything that goes inside the house
And Hao Jiazhi will stay as his attendant who will represent him and she will be the one governing everything related to him which includes his own safety
Hao Jiazhi's guards and bodyguards didn't like this as this gave a female, its old-time so for sure there is some discrimination, much higher position than a male
Something they all hated but didn't do much after the one shout of Hoa Jiazhi, they all agreed as a loyal dog
At Hao Jiazhi's newly built mansion-
Hao Jiazhi bought the land/property around his house and made his personal space much bigger than before
His mansion now has a tall boundary wall and also space above those walls for guards to look around and keep an eye outside
Inside-
The moment they all entered this new place, the first thing the saw was a big courtyard on the left side and at the right side was a small garden which had various flowers and cherry trees
At the end of the courtyard was a small water stream that separates the courtyard and the main house
The first building that can be seen the moment you enter, is the entrance hall or place where all the guests will be called and all the meetings will be done their
And then at its side are more rooms, the right side has a small open shed which is created to look at the garden and the left side is an alleyway type hall that leads to the main rooms
Keep going left and you will see one more time a garden-like open area or the backyard
And there is the main stuff
Kitchen is at the right side with guest rooms and at the left side is Hao Jiazhi's main master bedroom with attached study room and bathroom also
At the corner of the property is the storage room where all staff will be kept
But things haven't ended yet as the left side property is interconnected with this property, as that is the place for maids and servants and also the place which will have stable for Hao Jiazhi's horse and chariots
"It's worth it" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks at his 50miilion Ban Liang house, it is not 50 million ban liang just to build this stuff and buying new lands
But because there are some hidden underground rooms also, a place where Hao Jiazhi will hide his black money
Actually, it will be wrong to call this house a mansion, but rather it should be called a fortress as this place will be his ultimate base from where he will operate everything
And now that he has a number of servants, it's time to train them all so they could be a good meat shield in the time of needs
Also, his master bedroom also has a small attached room with a bed. This is where Han Yachun will live
"Starting from tomorrow, you all will receive training. All of you can leave" Hao Jiazhi said to his servants
All those servants that came with him, captives, became joyous after knowing that they will have their life saved and now have job
All of them explored the new mansion and know what is where
"Come with me" Hao Jiazhi told Han Yachun
She followed him
Following him, she reached Hao Jiazhi's room and then she came near a large Wardrobe where various types of clothes were put
She looked at Hao Jiazhi and Hao Jiazhi pointed at the wardrobe
With confusion she nodded and looked at the wardrobe, then she said "Nice clothes"
"Pull out the last shelf from the corner area" Hao Jiazhi told her in an angry tone
It seems like she didn't get what he wanted to say
She nodded in embarrassment and then pulled out the corner shelf; it was a normal shelf and nothing else
Hao Jiazhi then puts his hand inside the empty place where the shelf was, and there he grabs something and pulled it out
Han Yachun don't know what he is pulling but soon she realizes that one of the 5 wardrobes is starting to move and soon the whole wardrobe that was held by Hao Jiazhi moved towards the front
"Go in" Hao Jiazhi told her
Han Yachun knew that this is the hidden base Hao Jiazhi was talking about and went inside with her face in front
The space to enter the hidden base is not big, you have to jump in
Inside, it was a small tunnel-like space where you have to crawl as the light (fire sticks or light sticks are around) leads you somewhere else
Hao Jiazhi, before entering the tunnel came up and pulled a metal chain that pulled back the whole wardrobe and also the shelf back to its place
To move out, there is a leaver inside the tunnel that will push the whole wardrobe
Crossing the tunnel, they finally came into a big hall like space through a wall
And there she saw various rooms and empty boxes around the hall
"This is my operation base, from where I will operate and hide all my money. The reason why I am showing you all this is because I believe that you won't betray me… still if you betray me then… You know what will happen" Hao Jiazhi said to her
Han Yachun smiled and said "Don't worry; I won't betray you as you have given me a reason to live. Today people bow their heads to me because they know that I am your servant. I am really happy for what you have done for me so far"
Hao Jiazhi nodded and then looked at the empty boxes
With a smile, he said "I guess it's time to start the game"

Chapter 23: Can't help?
Province Kuwon-
The population of the whole Kuwon state/province is only 50k (all 3 cities population is included)
It is really low as compared to any province in the whole kingdom of Tengyuan Kingdom, Why?
It is because of the land
The land in this province is barren and dry, so there is not much stuff that can be grown in this land. It's not like the land is super dry and has no chance of growing anything as the land does have some fertility,
But the fertility is not enough to grow farm items on a large scale
So there is not much business in this province and also has a very low population.
And this province comes under the control of Hao Tai, big sister of Hao Jiazhi
Even though she is the head of this province, but she won't have any control over it just like Hao Jiazhi
The province is solely controlled by the governor and it seems like the governor is one hell of a corrupt bastard that takes heavy taxes from the citizens
And because she won't have any power, she can't do anything and in the end, she hears criticism from the locals as they think it's her who have increased taxes
Today is also a normal day or that's what Hao Tai thought when she was changing her clothes with the help of her attendant
Suddenly she heard some fast footsteps coming towards her
"Who is it?" She asked
A female in a red military dress appeared in front of Hao Tai and bowed, gave her greetings, and then told the reason for her hurry
Hearing her reasons, she became all shocked as she never thought that something like this will happen
"We need help, Princess Hao Tai
Please ask help from your brothers" The female soldier, Bai Hong, said to Hao Tai
Hao Tai became agitated as right now she doesn't have much time or any way to ask help from her brothers after all there is no one who will help her
Or that's what she is thinking right now
"Princess Hao Tai, I know that your brothers don't like you but as far as I know there is one brother who likes you a lot. Please ask his help" Pan Bo, her attendant, said to her in a hurry
Hao Tai don't want to ask her little brothers help as he has just started growing in power and her asking for help will only make her look bad
Still, she has to do it for her people
"Bring me a brush and paper. I will write a letter to my little brother" Hao Tai said to her servants
Mc's house-
It's been a few months since Hao Jiazhi has been living in his newly built house (it's his 3rd month) and so far he had saved up to 100 million ban liang in his underground bank
There had been some great changes in his property has he saves up money and then spends it in one go to buy various business property
Though his biggest earning is done from that interest given by thousands of merchants, still his own earning is not that small
What Hao Jiazhi is planning is to make sure that he slowly-slowly takes over the first 1000 shops under his control (buying them) as it will make sure that his own earning is a big enough to keep purchasing properties
After all, he will get interested for only this year
His big plan is to make sure that those people who sold him their shop shifts to the other district, as this will make sure that he keeps getting their money even if they go away
He wants to make a full monopoly over the whole Province Jinmen
So far, Hao Jiazhi has around 30 business properties that are generating a revenue of 1,200,000 Ban Liang per month (he don't give taxes properly)
As for his black money, it's around 5million as he has now opened illegal casino's and also liquor shops also
He is earning a lot, his total earning is around more than a 40million ban liang per month (and that too by giving taxes, not full but half)
Today he is just eating fruits that are regularly sent by his big sister Hao Tai every week, and enjoying the sunny day as he sits under a shed
"My lord, there is a guest sent by Princess Hao Tai asking for your presence" Han Yachun said to Hao Jiazhi
"hmm? A guest sent by my big sister? Ok, tell him I am coming" Hao Jiazhi told her
He stands up and then visits the guest room where the guest is sitting
"Wooow… A soldier in my house? I hope it's not something serious" Hao Jiazhi said with a smile as he looks at the soldier who visited his house
The soldiers fall on his knees and in his greeting position stayed down
He said "My lord, Princess Hao Tai needs your help" and then gave a letter
Han Yachun took the letter and gave it to Hao Jiazhi
In the letter, it said that there are a number of soldier appearing in front of Kuwon Province border
All of them are fully armed with various weapons and armors, and these soldiers seem to be from the neighboring Kingdom, Liaohua
A kingdom which is not very good to our kingdom even though we are in the neutral condition
The reason for the attack or future attack is because the Liaohua Kingdom is a big kingdom as compared to Tengyuan Kingdom (Mc's kingdom)
So they don't give a shit
Hao Jiazhi has no reason to help her or even if he wants to help her, how will he help her? He doesn't have an army with him
The only thing he has is his '5 shadows'
Still, Hao Jiazhi is a good man or that's what people think of him and he also has to protect his fake image in front of his servants who will be his tomorrow's meat shield
"I'll take a round around Province Kuwon" Hao Jiazhi said to his attendant and gets ready to leave the place
