Volume 4 Chapter 53 It's Time to Wrap Up
Three months later, Ah Fei finally practiced a full set of "Changfeng Sword Technique", and his martial arts made great progress, and he entered the ranks of the top masters.
After three months of construction, the Xiaoyingzhou Villa has been completed, and the Flying Sword Villa has also entered the final stage, and it will be completed in half a month at most.
Ancient houses, all civil structures, are completely natural materials, even the lacquer is extracted from plants, similar to the vegetable oil of paint, without the slightest formaldehyde.
Therefore, as soon as the Xiaoyingzhou Courtyard was completed, Luo Changfeng and the others moved in, and at the same time handed over 10,000 taels to Tie Chuanjia, and asked him to go to the tooth store to find the tooth guard, and recruit some nurses, cooks, servants, and maids to come back.
Luo Changfeng tentatively recruited 80 people, 8 cooks, 30 servants, and 10 maids, a total of 128 people.
There are two sources of this profession of nursing home, one is the self-employed who are registered in the tooth shop, they are either some people who have practiced a few hands and are not in the stream, or some ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts, but are strong and strong.
Therefore, the force value of this kind of nursing home is low and uneven, but their loyalty is more secure, because they are basically equivalent to selling their lives to the master's family.
As long as the main family does not take the initiative to evict them, they must not escape, because their identity information is kept in the dental store, and once they escape, the main family reports the crime, and if they are caught, they will be imprisoned, and the punishment is very heavy.
The other kind of nursing home comes from various martial arts halls, which is of a hired nature, just like the relationship between large families and "security consulting companies" in later generations.
The main family pays a sum of money to the person in charge of the martial arts hall, and then the person in charge of the martial arts hall pays the martial artist a salary, and the personnel are not fixed, just ensure that the agreed number of people are on duty.
There is no doubt that this kind of nursing home is relatively high in terms of force value, personal quality, or teamwork, and is more professional in caring for the home, but again, the commission is relatively expensive.
Although most of these nursing homes are also non-mainstream martial artists, the average strength is basically higher than that of self-employed people, and there is even no shortage of third-rate martial artists mixed in, usually as a "team leader".
And the strength of the director of the martial arts hall is not to mention, without the skills of a second-rate master, he can't open a martial arts hall, and even if he does, it is easy to be kicked out, and there are not a few first-class masters who open a martial arts hall.
Another point is that they must ensure the safety of life and property in the main family, even at the cost of their own lives.
If their negligence causes the loss of life and property of the main family, then the martial arts hall needs to compensate the main family a large amount of money.
If the main family is destroyed, they don't have to lose money, but their reputation is also completely ruined, and no one will invite them again, and the only result is naturally to close the door.
So to a certain extent, the safety of the nursing home of the martial arts hall is relatively higher, and the life and property of the main family are more secure.
Self-employed and martial arts martial artists are like self-recruited security guards in later generations, and the difference between bodyguards hired in a "security consulting company".
In fact, they don't value Luo Changfeng what force is worth, they pay more attention to loyalty, so he chose to recruit himself.
In terms of force value, the "Ape Gong Sword Technique" is enough to create a batch of qualified nurses for them.
Even Luo Changfeng can upgrade the "Ape Gong Sword Technique", so that the guardian who cultivates this sword technique can reach the level of a third-rate martial artist in the rivers and lakes.
Taking the light boat he bought with his own money, Luo Changfeng and his party set foot on the land of Xiaoyingzhou Island.
Luo Changfeng and the others bought a painting boat and more than a dozen light boats, each light boat can carry six to eight people, depending on the weight of the passengers.
If the boat is to ensure that it is spacious enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people, more than thirty people, it will be a little crowded.
Xiaoyingzhou Island is composed of several small islands, the periphery is a circular embankment, the ring embankment is connected with the island from the east and west, and the bridge is connected with the island from the north and south, the whole is just like a "field" word, forming the wonder of the island in the lake and the lake in the island.
Legend has it that after Su Shi dredged the West Lake, three bottle-shaped stone towers were built in the depths of the lake, named "Three Pools", so Xiaoyingzhou Island was originally known as "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon".
It is a pity that the three pools were destroyed in the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, and they have not been rebuilt so far, but there is a missing scenery.
The island is now full of pavilions, and the promenade connects the embankment, and at intervals there is a gap nearly a foot wide, and a stone staircase is built under the gap, which extends to the water, which is a small dock for boats.
In a corridor, there are more than 30 small piers.
Luo Changfeng, Li Xunhuan, A Fei and others walked slowly on the island together, enjoying the scenery and beauty of the island.
The various pavilions on the island are exquisitely constructed, chic and generous, and quite ingenious, which makes Li Xunhuan can't help but admire.
There are a total of six residential buildings on the island, namely Huifeng Building, Feixue Building, Xunhuan Building, King Kong Building, Yihong Building, and Qunying Building.
Each building has three floors, the first floor is the hall, and the hall is divided into the front hall, the back hall and the side hall.
The front hall is the place where the guests are entertained, the side hall is the place where the tea is rested, and the back hall is the dining room.
The second floor is where the study and bedroom are located, and the third floor is the practice room and meditation room, which are used for martial arts practice or retreat.
At a glance, everyone can see that the first five buildings correspond to one person, and the sixth "Qunying Building" should exist as a guest room.
It's just that Li Xunhuan and they are all a little strange, there is no place for Lin Xian'er here, they know in their hearts, but they don't know, who does this "Leaning on the Red Mansion" correspond to?
Lin Xian'er herself is also wondering, leaning on the Red Mansion, this is a residence that belongs to women, and she is the only woman among them, and this building naturally belongs to her.
But why is it that the previous buildings all contain the owner's name or nickname, but this one is different?
Could it be that he thinks that he is not worthy of a title like Tianxian Tower or Feixian Tower?
Lin Xian'er glanced at Luo Changfeng with disgust, but she didn't say anything, it's just that the other courtyard was built by someone else, and she can't take care of it, anyway, she can have her own residence.
The completion of the Xiaoyingzhou Annex, which also marks that Luo Changfeng and his party have officially settled in Jiangnan.
And it can be said that they entered the upper class circle as soon as they came, of course, it has nothing to do with the status of the rivers and lakes, it is completely the role of Li Xunhuan's face and money.
Although Li Xunhuan did not become an official, he also had the fame of exploring flowers, and belonged to the scholar class, and according to the order of Shinong industry and commerce, he belonged to the category of "superior people".
In addition, they are still rich, and the elite class recognizes these two points.
As for their fame in the rivers and lakes, it is just some icing on the cake.
Feijian Villa has a pleasant cooperation with the prefect of Hangzhou, and the relationship is naturally good.
The prefect knew that they were rich, and they were not stingy people, and they wanted to live in Hangzhou for a long time, so they had to ask him for a long time, so both sides tacitly maintained a good relationship.
Half a month later, just a few days after the official handover of the Flying Sword Villa, when night fell, a person who surprised Li Xunhuan and others, but Luo Changfeng had been waiting for a long time, came to the door.
Some things, some people, it's time to put an end to it.
