Chapter 203 Dragon Guardian Villa, the Huang family prodigy

"Master Hou, he has been secretly practicing martial arts since three months ago."

"......" was silent for a while, and the expression on his face changed several times before the man spoke: "Let him go, this is his life, it has nothing to do with this situation, since he doesn't want to live a dull life, this is his choice, don't worry about him." ”

"Do you need Wan to find him a good master?"

"No need, don't pay attention to him, get down to business, Dragon Guardian Villa, how is it being built now, and how long will it take to finish?"

"At the current rate, it will take at least a year to complete the construction of the Dragon Guardian Villa, and if it needs to be rushed, it can be completed in half a year."

"This matter is not in a hurry, as long as it is designed according to this candidate, it can afford to wait for three years, the most important thing now is people, the person you want to choose, how is the progress?"

"Wan has already selected dozens of children with excellent qualifications for Hou Ye, and as for the next things, Hou Ye will have to go out personally."

"Okay, Wan Daguan is doing things, and it is really fast, who is the first person among these dozens of people?"

"A knife to the sea."

"A knife to the sea? What is the relationship between this person and the deceased Returning to the Sea? ”

"Hou Ye is wise, just listening to the name is associated with Guihai Bailian, yes, this Guihai Yidao is the son of Guihai Bailian, in the words of Guihai Bailian, his son is far better than him in knife talent, this person is the highest perseverance, talent and qualification among the ten children, and because of the death of Guihai Bailian, Guihai Yidao is bent on worshiping a famous teacher, avenging his father, and coming forward with the identity and strength of Hou Ye, it is not difficult to accept his heart."

"Oh, it seems that this person is indeed not ordinary, you immediately find out the whereabouts of Guihai Yidao, I can't wait."

"Hou Ye is really thirsty for talent, Wan Mou has already arranged for Hou Ye, Guihai is now on the way to the capital, at most ten days, you can get to the capital."

"Eh, haha, okay, Wan Daguan does things, and it is really meticulous, presumably the rest of the people have also arranged it."

"Hou Ye is like a god, this is the first official cooperation between Wan and Hou Ye, naturally I want to have a snack, Hou Ye only needs to appear at the right time."

"Very well, I can't wait."

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, in 1505 AD, Emperor Zhu Youzhu of the Ming Dynasty died in the Qianqing Palace, reigned for 18 years, at the age of 36, and passed on to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao when he died.

The former emperor was worried that the prince was young, easy to be manipulated by traitors, unable to preside over the government, and did not know how to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, so he specially ordered the emperor's brother Zhu to ignore the formation of the "Dragon Guardian Villa", whose power overrode all the court institutions, and gave the "Danshu Iron Coupon" and "Shangfang Sword" to behead the unconscious monarch and behead the slanderous ministers.

Zhu ignored, titled "Iron Courage Shenhou", although he is a member of the royal family, but he likes martial arts since he was a child, three years ago, at the top of the Tianshan Mountain, he defeated the "undefeated naughty boy" Gu Santong, who was known as the world's first master, and imprisoned him in the prison, and the world was shocked, known as "the world's first master".

No matter who it is, as long as he dares to corrupt the dynasty and endanger the royal family, he will be killed without mercy, and the name of the Iron Courage God Marquis is known to everyone, and his reputation even overshadows the young Emperor Zhengde.

It may be that he is worried that he will "be the master of high merit", and in the next two or three years, Zhu ignored and rarely spoke out, and even did not participate in the early dynasty for half a year, which made the power of Dongchang expand sharply, and in just two or three years, Dongchang became a force that could not be ignored in the imperial court under the leadership of the great eunuch Liu Jin and Cao Zhengchun, and overpowered the Dragon Protector Villa on the bright side.

The Iron Gall Shenhou has not really moved in the past two or three years, because of the strong support of the richest man Wan 3000, the main hall of the Dragon Protector Villa was completed on time, and the Iron Gall Shenhou secretly transferred his power underground, and there was a faint tendency to become the world's first intelligence agency, coupled with Zhu's disregard for the deterrence of the title of "the world's first master", Dongchang did not dare to act recklessly.

In addition, in the past two or three years, Zhu Wuzhi has traveled all over the Ming Dynasty, collected thousands of innocent children from all over the country, and concentrated them in the Dragon Protector Villa for all kinds of harsh training and elimination, and these children will become the mainstay of the Dragon Protector Villa in the future.

Nanzhili Province, Suzhou Prefecture.

From the beginning of the two Song Dynasty, the economic development of Suzhou and Hangzhou was rapid, and in the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou and Hangzhou became the center of gravity of the world's economy.

Suzhou Song Jin, together with Sichuan Shu Jin, Nanjing Yunjin is called the "Three Famous Brocade", Song Jin is gorgeous in color, delicate in pattern, soft in texture, and can be washed repeatedly, which is sought after by the people of the time.

There are three major Song brocade producers in Suzhou, namely Zhao, Li and Huang, of which Zhao and Li mainly produce high-end heavy brocade and fine brocade for the royal family and dignitaries, while the Huang family mainly produces relatively ordinary brocade for wealthy families.

The Zhao and Li families eat royal rice, and the requirements for manual work are relatively fine, and the market competition they face is not large, but the Huang family has many competitors because it is a relatively general civilian Song Jin.

Ten years ago, the power of the Huang family was far from being comparable to that of the Zhao and Li families, but about seven or eight years ago, for some reason, the Huang family's business suddenly improved, and in less than three years, the Huang family crushed several competitors, monopolized most of the Song Jin market, and became one of the three major families.

There are rumors in the market that the Huang family has climbed into an incredible force, which is why they can be so noble.

There are also many people who attribute this matter to the Huang family's youngest son, Huang Shiyi, because it was after Huang Shiyi's birth that the Huang family's business suddenly improved, but the Huang family was secretive about this matter, and never talked about it to outsiders, nor did they allow any discussion in the house.

Huang Youde, the current head of the Huang family, gave birth to a son for him in the side room at the age of fifty-five, named Huang Shiyi, because he is Huang Youde's fifth son, so everyone calls him "Fifth Young Master".

After Huang Shiyi was born, he showed his extraordinary side, since he was a child, he did not cry or make trouble, he was able to walk on the ground in less than seven months, he knew a thousand words at the age of two, and he could recite four books and five classics at the age of four, and now he is only nine years old, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a well-known prodigy.

It is rumored that Huang Shiyi is "Wenqu Xing descended to earth", extraordinary talent, and will be noble in the future, which makes the Huang family fly Huang Tengda, but it is a pity that because he was born in the family of Shangjia, according to the laws of this dynasty, he cannot participate in the imperial examination, which is really regrettable, perhaps it is for this reason, so the head of the family Huang Youde has always allowed his free development and never restricted it.
