Hangzhou City is still the same Hangzhou City, there is no war, there is little famine, the people are rich, the West Lake is still the West Lake, the only change is that the lake has formed a thick layer of ice, and there are several large buildings on the east bank near the city.

Early in the morning, Lu Wang stood on the ice by the lake, stretching, and Du San and Nan Yan stood with their heads bowed behind them, silently watching their little marquis toss.

Especially Du San, looking at Lu Wang's figure, he felt like a dream, he can still clearly remember the appearance of meeting Lu Wang when he was working in a tavern in Jinhua half a year ago, except for the hairstyle he wore and was almost the same as himself, who would have thought that the thin boy who worked without money and only had plates and bowls was now the Hou Ye who held the military power in the Ming Dynasty, who could know that the chef of the tavern had become the head of the Hou Ye's family! It's all a dream!

How big is the influence of Lu Wang, Du San in Hangzhou City has a deep experience, especially the kind of middle-class family, who men go out without a Lu family watch, do not take a pack of cigarettes, no lighter or anything are embarrassed to go out, female dependents do not use the Lu family's perfume, cosmetics, headwear, dare not visit the door, which child does not have a Lu family's toys or anything dare not say that his family is rich, not to mention those young people who pursue fashion, who are embarrassed to go out to pick up girls if they don't have a motorcycle!

However, many things have been blown up, Lu Wang has not been to Hangzhou for a few months, almost all the goods here have been sold out, it is said that the young people waiting in line to buy motorcycles are wandering around the Lujia commercial building every day, asking eight times a day!

What's more, the grain is also about to bottom out, and Rwann left a large amount of rice grain to relieve the locust plague in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the effect of lowering grain prices is obvious, and it is also more gratifying, at least there are a lot fewer people starving to death in Suzhou and Hangzhou this winter!

It is also worth mentioning that the Lu family has a large number of long-term and short-term temporary workers. The road from Jinhua to Hangzhou, from Hangzhou to Suzhou, has already been repaired, but there is a shortage of cement, and some sections of the road are not paved with cement. It is said that now the road construction army has begun to repair the road from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Nanjing!

Luwang's popularity and his military exploits are closely linked, Nanyang battle, success, the marquis took the hand, the popularity is bursting, and Hangzhou is also one of the first places of the Ming military newspaper, that influence is not a little bit, even if the style of the four heavenly kings of the year is only so. Du San and Nan Yan both deeply understand this, because they are at most the managers of the Lu family, but they are patted on the back by all kinds of bigwigs in Hangzhou City every day, that feeling, that sourness, just two words, bunker!

In a nutshell, Du San and Nanyan can walk sideways in Hangzhou, yes. Just like a crab walking sideways, no one will dare to stand in the way, of course, these two usually pretend to be forced. I really haven't done anything really arrogant and domineering, because the closer people get to Lu Wang, the more they know what he hates the most, the Lu family's strict rules! It will throw you from the position of the chief manager into the West Lake to feed the fish in minutes!

The sedan chair carries people, and the fame of Luwang is unique in the Ming Dynasty at the moment. Rich, powerful, and most importantly, he has a record, and there are too many people who want to help him carry a sedan chair. Especially the people in Jinhua, where he made his fortune, not to mention his old partner Li Zekai, who is the magistrate of Jinhua City, and a few low-level officers who knew him at the beginning, they all went to Hangzhou to walk around and visit Lala when they had anything to do, of course, most of this situation was received by Nanyan and Du San!

As the closest local government to Rwan, Hangzhou City is the only one who took the lead in proposing to raise funds to build a Hou Ye Mansion for Rwan, which was immediately unanimously approved by the wealthy from all parties, including many large households in Jinhua, and Li Zekai was naturally among them!

However, for this request, how dare Nan Yan and Du San agree, the two of them can't do it, in case Lu Wang is unhappy when he comes back, it is the two of them who are unlucky, so they disagree in every way!

However, it is difficult to resist the enthusiasm, even Zhang Yinli, the prefect of Hangzhou, stood up and spoke, this is the people's love for the Hou Ye, grateful for his good deeds for the Ming Dynasty, for Hangzhou, for Jinhua, should be honored, this is the heart of the locals! What's more, the place they chose was in the camp of Lujia West Lake!

Nan Yan and Du San really couldn't cry or laugh, our Lu family is not bad people, not bad money, what kind of Hou Ye Mansion do you want to build, how many you want to build can't be built, but you really can't shirk it, and Zhang Yinli swore that he was willing to vouch for the two of them to prove that they were forced to agree, so the two nodded, so the tall building under construction in the Lu family camp is the Hou Ye Mansion!

Lu Wang arrived in Hangzhou before dark last night, and did not attract too much attention from the people, but this did not stop some bigwigs who came to visit him, but they were all blocked from the camp: Hou Ye is tired, tomorrow there will be a banquet for everyone, please go back today!

After Lu Wang finished the stretching exercise, he stood on the lake and looked at the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, and then looked at the Hou Ye's Mansion under construction in the camp and couldn't help laughing: "West Lake is a place for the elderly, Nanyan, go back and find a way to buy the land around West Lake, the more the merrier, the Lord wants to develop a real estate here, do you think it will be very popular!" ”

"Hou Ye said that it will be hot", Nan Yan smiled: "Hou Ye, are you planning to build a row of buildings like the one you brought last night?" ”

Hahaha, Lu Wang couldn't help laughing, Nanyan was talking about the four-and-a-half-story villa he brought from the afterlife! The exterior decoration is antique, and the inside is luxurious! "You can build that house now, but you can't decorate it, and you can't afford to build it on this scale! But this time I bring you a complete set of decoration videos, you can watch it slowly and practice slowly! The big ones can't be sold, so let's build the smaller ones! ”

"That's it, Hou Ye's building is where the heavenly immortals live, I went in last night and was dizzy and dizzy, I couldn't tell the north and the south", Du San patted the fart next to him, Lu Wang laughed, looked down at his watch, "It's almost time, let this group of old hats visit my mansion today"

As many as 100 people came to meet Rwan, but only twenty-three had the opportunity to enter the camp, and the status was here, and it was impossible for anyone who wanted to come in at once, and in the end only twenty-three city bigwigs, wealthy families, and famous people led by the prefect Zhang Yinli were allowed, and as for the other Luwang, they gave some modern handicrafts to let them go back to the city!

The banquet itself didn't mean anything, just a group of old guys meeting and chatting, and after being polite, listening to Rwan's bragging, but Rwann had always positioned himself as a wealthy businessman, so this little party quickly turned into a sales pitch! Pitch luxury homes.

Louvon didn't talk about it like a sales lady. Instead, he took this group of bigwigs around in his mansion lightly, so they really became old hats! You must know that this mansion in Luwang can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars casually in later generations, four and a half floors, luxurious decoration, more than ten guest rooms, three conference halls, the top floor has a rooftop and a swimming pool, and the furniture inside is even more refined, as long as the generator is started, except that there is no network. It's as if it were in the home of some rich man in the Hereafter!

Seeing these old hats in their mansions with envious eyes and mouths non-stop, Lu Wang knew that there was a play, and even felt that it was very ridiculous, too traversal, a group of long-haired little old men dressed in the Ming Dynasty, in a modern mansion, dangling wine glasses in their hands is indeed very festive!

"I plan to develop a few villas for sale around the camp. It's this kind of decoration, I don't know if 200,000 taels can be sold! By the way, packaging and repairing household appliances! ”

"Master Hou, I'll book a set"

"I'll do it too"

"And me!"

Rwan's words fell. Immediately, someone carried a sedan chair, Hangzhou is not short of rich people, and they fancy the location, if it is usual. Who is idle in the city and can't help but go to this wilderness to build a house to live, but now it's different, and a fairy Hou Ye is a neighbor. This opportunity can't be for everyone, and although 200,000 taels of silver is a bit expensive, it is worth the money after all, the car sold by the Lu family is 200,000, not to mention the mansion, not bad money!

Seeing someone cheering like this, Lu Wang was naturally very happy, and he didn't share his fortune plan with everyone while he was happy, "Everyone, I know that you are not short of money, but no one is afraid of money, right, I have a big business now, I wonder if you are interested in buying shares?" ”

As soon as they heard that there was a profitable business, everyone's interest was immediately raised, Fu Xinghou is the God of Wealth, he said that if he can make money, he can make money, and he immediately raised his ears one by one, but soon his face showed a look of embarrassment, and he went to sea! Do ocean trade!

To say that the business done by merchants in ancient times is nothing more than tea and silk, cloth, grain, needlework, ironware, although there are also those who go away to do business, but most people still like to be stable in the local, at most across provinces, which mainly depends on the backwardness of logistics, and there is no guarantee of safety!

Land transportation is full of all kinds of uneasy factors, and Rwan's proposal for ocean trade is immediately difficult for them, sea transportation is even more risky, and piracy has always been rampant, avoiding natural disasters may not have won man-made disasters, and more importantly, overseas trade is forbidden by the imperial court! So these people immediately retreated!

These worries are understandable to Lu Wang, but he has already thought of a way to deal with it, otherwise he would not mention this stubble: "Everyone, please rest assured, I can naturally think of the risks you can think of, shipping profits are huge, as we all know, our Ming Dynasty's tea, salt, cloth, wine, sugar, porcelain, etc. are very popular in the surrounding small countries, and it can even be said that they are in short supply, as for the risks you are worried about, it is nothing more than the insecurity of shipping and the imperial court is not allowed, right."

Everyone nodded again and again, and Lu Wang smiled, "The sea is stormy, worried about shipwrecking, pirates are rampant, and you are worried about the loss of people and money, right, now you don't have to worry, the ship, my Lu family is out, and there is a special escort team to ensure safety along the way." As for the imperial court's explicit prohibition of maritime trade, it will be repealed in half a month, and I am sure of this matter! ”

Good guy, as soon as Lu Wang's words came out, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, and they began to inquire about the specifics, and Lu Wang began to sell lawsuits again, "At this time, I will mention it for the time being, and everyone will come to Hangzhou to talk to you in detail in a few days, I am doing a big deal, naturally I will not only join forces with Hangzhou, but also join hands with businessmen from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing to form a large fleet and sail to sea!" ”

Wow, everyone gasped, "Master Hou, it's not a trivial matter for so many people to join forces, not to mention the disputes, so many ships ......" Someone asked

"Boat, I'm out of the Lu family, all the engine iron boat, you just need to rent mine, you can take credit, of course, you can also count as shares, how convenient is it for everyone, and if you have ideas now, you should hurry up and prepare funds to stock up, and you will go to sea in two months at the latest!"

The engine iron boat, in this era many people are unfamiliar, but for the Hangzhou people are exceptional, because there are a few Lu family ships on the West Lake are like that, they all know that they only drink oil, do not need manpower, as soon as they hear that the Lu family is equipped with such a ship, the big guy is immediately relieved, even if he encounters pirates, he can't beat it, he can escape completely! They can't even catch up with this speed! So one by one they began to mumble quietly, and their energy shifted from the mansion in Rwann to the business!

A group of people ate and drank, chatting all over the world, until one o'clock in the afternoon, of course, in addition to agreeing to cooperate with the merchants who want to do shipping after ten days to go to the Lu family business building to chat in detail, Lu Wang also received a lot of gifts, but anyone who knows a little about him knows that Fu Xinghou is a young man of literature and art, like flowers and plants, oh no, like calligraphy and painting, so the guests are all this kind of things, and Lu Wang feels that this is a courtesy exchange between friends, not a bribe, and he also returned a lot of mirrors, glass beads, Wine glasses and other precious gifts!

Twenty or thirty guests had a long face, not only received gifts, but also accepted Hou Ye's hospitality for four hours in the camp, saying that it was very face-saving, and more importantly, Hou Ye gave full face, and sent them back to the city by special car when he left! This treatment is simply no sei!
