At night, it was already past nine o'clock. The sky was already dark.
Under the escort of the guards, Li Yan left the encampment and returned to the Li Residence in a small car.
Beep! Beep!
As two car horns sounded, the car arrived at the gate of the Li residence.
Under the night sky, the courtyard of the Li Residence did not seem dark. The four kerosene lamps hanging at the entrance emitted a hazy glow.
"Young Master, you're back!" Uncle Zhong ran from the courtyard to the main entrance. He had a kind smile on his face as he quietly looked at Li Yan.
In the morning, the news of Li Yan leading the 108th Division to wipe out the 217th Squadron had spread throughout Nanzhang County. This incident caused a sensation in the Li Residence.
Li Yan was the young master of the Li family and the master of the Li residence. Li Yan had become a hero who fought against the Japanese. His name was spread all over the country. All the servants in the Li residence were naturally proud and felt a strong sense of pride.
Facing Uncle Zhong's greeting, Li Yan smiled and nodded. He walked forward and asked,"How much money and gold bars have you raised in the past few days?”
Before the war with the 217th Brigade, Li Yan had asked Uncle Zhong to continue selling the Li family's land because he needed more exchange points.
"Young Master, I've sold a total of 12,000 mu of fertile land in the past few days, raising a total of 250,000 yuan and 185 large yellow croaker gold bars!”Uncle Zhong quickly reported the general situation.
"In just a few days, they sold 12,000 mu of fertile land. It seems that the landowners of Nanzhang County are very rich!”Li Yan's eyes flickered as he pondered.
In this day and age, China had yet to enter the industrial era, and the richest people were still the landowners.
China's landowners controlled a large amount of land. Apart from storing a portion of the grain collected by these landowners every year, they sold almost all of it.
Moreover, the current landowners still maintained the ancient tradition of saving their gold and silver and passing it on to their descendants instead of spending it all.
Therefore, even though those wealthy landowners were always complaining about their misery, in reality, these wealthy landowners were far richer than they appeared to be!
"Young Master, it is not wrong to beat up the little ghosts, but the 108th Division cannot be raised by our Li family, right? Now, our Li family no longer has any assets.”
Uncle Zhong couldn't help but remind them. It had only been a month, but the Li family's land had already shrunk by two-thirds. It could be said that it was a serious injury!
"It's the industrial era now. Relying on land for a living is not a long-term solution.”Li Yan didn't explain much.
Although Uncle Zhong's ability was not weak and he could manage the entire Li Residence in an orderly manner, due to the limitations of the times, Uncle Zhong still could not understand what it meant to be a monopolistic industrial family.
" This…" Uncle Zhong was stunned. He looked at Li Yan's back and shook his head helplessly.
After passing through several courtyards and passing through several corridors, Li Yan had just arrived at the main hall of the Li Residence when a beautiful figure ran over.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're finally back. I was so worried about you!”Su Meiyi had already heard the car horn. She skipped over and hugged Li Yan's arm.
"What time is it? Why aren't you going to sleep?”Li Yan looked at Su Meiyi's delicate and beautiful face and said with a straight face.
"Brother-in-law, I'm just worried about you!”Su Meiyi pouted her lips, her eyes filled with a happy smile.
Soon, Su Meiyi noticed that there was an additional star on Li Yan's shoulder. She reached out and touched it, exclaiming,"Brother-in-law, did you get promoted? Two stars!”
"The 108th division has been reorganized into the 108th division. I'm now the lieutenant general!”Li Yan explained. He pulled out his arm from Su Meiyi's tight grip and asked,"Where's your sister?"
As soon as Li Yan finished his words, footsteps sounded. Su Jingyao and Xiao Yu appeared at the same time from the east aisle. They walked towards him one after another.
"Young Master!" Xiao Yu shouted with a smile.
"Young Master Li!" Su Jingyao stared at Li Yan. She also revealed an elegant smile with a trace of longing in her eyes.
At this moment, Su Jingyao was wearing a pale white embroidered cheongsam. She looked like a painting, and her dignified, elegant, and noble charm was just right.
Whether it was her temperament or her appearance, Su Jingyao was outstanding and very pleasing to the eye.
Looking at his fiancée, Li Yan smiled and said,""It's getting late. Go and rest. I'm fine!”
Hearing this, Su Jingyao wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she didn't say anything.
"Young Master, are you going to take a shower later?”Xiao Yu looked at Li Yan and asked softly.
"I still have something to do. I'll come over later!”Li Yan said as he walked towards the storeroom.
"I haven't even said anything yet, and you're running away again!”Su Meiyi couldn't help but complain.
…………………
After arriving at the storeroom, Li Yan closed the door and called out the system."Scanning the money and gold bars here, help me exchange them all into exchange points.”
"Respected host, please wait a moment!”The system's voice resounded in Li Yan's mind.
Soon, in less than a minute, boxes after boxes of coins and gold bars were recycled by the system.
"Respected host, you have obtained a total of 4,350,000 exchange points. Your exchange points balance is 4,350,000 points.”The system reported the data.
" 4.35 million points, not bad!" Li Yan smiled calmly and opened the system store. He wanted to exchange for medicine and medical clones.
Medical clones were also divided into many levels. The lowest level of medical clones and low-level army clones had the same exchange price of 2500 points per person.
Considering that the 108th division would expand to 30,000 to 40,000 people in the future, Li Yan immediately reached the goal. He spent 1 million exchange points to exchange for 400 beginner medical-type clones.
Then, Li Yan started to look at the various medicines. After a round of selection, another one million points were deducted.
Medicines were very important because there were bound to be injuries in wars. Without medication, even soldiers with minor injuries could lose their lives due to infection.
Not only did ordinary soldiers need medication after being injured, but even clone soldiers needed it too.
Therefore, Li Yan had no choice but to use his exchange points to exchange for medicine and medical-type clones.
Seeing that his exchange points were only left with 2.35 million points, Li Yan felt a headache coming on.
He felt that no matter how many exchange points he obtained, it would never be enough!
Li Yan sighed helplessly and said to the system,""Use another 2 million exchange points to exchange for 800 beginner army clones.”
"Alright, respected host!"
In an instant, Li Yan only had 350,000 points left.
