Chapter 2527 Settle down!

Le Shan turned around when she heard the noise, and she immediately recognized that the person running in the front was her senior sister Zhao Jian, so she pointed at the person and said with a smile, "My senior sister is here! Let's go into the city together. When my sister is free one day, I will introduce you to each other."

Cao Danzhu followed Le Shan's gaze and glanced at Zhao Jian. She had a very good memory and seemed to have seen this girl at a royal banquet. Although she didn't know Zhao Jian's identity, she seemed to remember that Zhao Jian was a member of the royal family and was very likely a monarch or a county lady.

She didn't expect that her future husband's senior sister was actually from the royal family. She thought this was too mysterious. She was also somewhat interested in Master Wang Yue, so she agreed with a smile.

After Le Shan said goodbye to Cao Danzhu, she hurried to Wang Yue's side. She shouted from a distance, "Senior Sister, I missed you so much."

Zhao Jian stopped her horse in front of the group. She bowed to Wang Yue first, then smiled and said to Le Shan, "Le Shan, how is your Liuyun Swordsmanship practice going recently? I have a test today!"

Le Shan was not afraid at all, and raised her little head and said, "Senior Sister, you are so annoying. You test me as soon as we meet. I miss you so much!

However, my swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my junior brother. He is a palace guard and he can’t beat me now.”

Zhao Jian then turned his gaze towards Li Zhi, and asked curiously, "This is the master's registered disciple, right? I heard from the master in his letter that you are quite accomplished in formation."

Li Zhi was very respectful to this senior sister. After all, she was the one who could beat him, and he admired her very much. So he immediately bowed respectfully to Zhao Jian, and then said with a smile, "Hello, senior sister. I have heard about your reputation from the second senior sister a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet the real one today."

After Zhao Jian and the others exchanged greetings with everyone, they didn't want to block the way here, so they smiled and said to Wang Yue, "Master, I have already arranged your accommodation. You said you wanted a place with convenient transportation and you didn't want to live in the capital, so I arranged it in Zhuxian Town. As for the house for Second Junior Sister, I have picked out a few, and Second Junior Sister needs to choose carefully."

Wang Yue nodded and said, "How about this, you take me to my residence first, and then take Le Shan to see the house together."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, Le Shan complained, "Big Sister, why does the word 'Second Junior Sister' sound so awkward? Otherwise, when you don't call me by my name, just call me Junior Sister. After all, we have a junior brother below us, so there will be no mistake."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Zhi, and then immediately corrected him in a commanding manner, "From now on, should you call me Senior Sister, Senior Sister, or Senior Sister?"

Li Zhi did not refute, just as if it was a child playing, and said with a smile, "Yes, Senior Sister!"

Le Shan was very satisfied with Li Zhi's obedience, so he followed Zhao Jian to the front of the team and led the team to the garden that Zhao Jian arranged for Wang Yue.

In Zhao Jian's words, this was also a gift for becoming a disciple, so he asked Wang Yue not to postpone it.

Of course Wang Yue would not refuse. After all, when no one is short of money or land, if you keep postponing it, it will only distance the relationship between you.

What's more, they had finally developed some feelings for each other as master and disciple, and it would be really inappropriate if that was gone just like that.

……

The housing prices in Zhuxian Town are actually not much different from those in the capital. Of course, the capital here refers to the place excluding the residences of princes, nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants.

Those people's lives are very precious, so they must live in a safe place to prevent accidents.

The reason why housing prices in Zhuxian Town are so expensive is that it is close to the canal and is the intersection of the east and the west. It not only has convenient transportation, but also has crisscrossing waterways. Therefore, many businessmen like to live here or set up some warehouses here to facilitate their business dealings.

The reason why Wang Yue asked Zhao Jian to help him buy a house here was actually because of this point. He had a ready-made shipyard, and even small boats were the most advanced in the world.

Wang Yue has a side quest, which is to take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun. This task is very difficult. It requires sufficient military strength and even sufficient economic support.

At the same time, the most important thing is the intelligence network.

Is there any intelligence network that is more informed than businessmen?

Therefore, Wang Yue planned to arrange trustworthy people to start doing business, but before that, he planned to build a shipyard reasonably so that he could not only build ships for himself, but also purchase a large number of ships.

After hearing Wang Yue's request, Zhao Jian directly bought a villa with a small pier to the east of Zhuxian Town and gave it to Wang Yue as a residence.

Because this wharf is far away from the canal, it has not kept up with the canal's ever-increasing height. Therefore, some large commercial ships could sail through it in the past, but now there is only a shallow waterway to reach the canal. Therefore, it is a useless wharf that can only use small boats to operate some pedestrians, and large cargo ships cannot pass through it at all.

But this pier also has an advantage, because there is a huge lake here, it is very convenient to build a dock here.

The previous owner of this place was attracted by the environment of this place, so he built a villa here so that he could occasionally take a boat and play in the small lake.

Although Zhao Jian didn't understand why Wang Yue wanted to buy this place, he still listened to Wang Yue's request faithfully and bought the entire lake, the island in the middle of the lake, and the surrounding land.

Wang Yue has also been prepared for the fact that ships will have to travel frequently in the future. He has a large number of sand-blowing ships of all types. At worst, he can expand this section of the river in the future so that ships can be transported out.

……

After the carriage team arrived here, Zhao Jian left Wang Yue and Li Zhi to check the yard, and then took Le Shan and the people of the Li family to look at a few houses. After all, it was already past noon, and if they didn't check the house and pay the money in time, the people of the Li family might have to stay in an inn at night.

For the Li family, this was not only very inconvenient for the women, but also a waste of money.

Therefore, the sensible Li Leshan said goodbye to Wang Yue without waiting for them to settle down, and urged Zhao Jian to take them to see the house, without being polite to Wang Yue at all.

Wang Yue just shook his head helplessly. This disciple is really not as considerate as Zhao Jian.

Wang Yue sighed and waited for Zhao Jian and the Li family to leave. Then he said to Li Zhi, "Li Zhi, Master, I have something to trouble you. You need to buy me a few dozen servants. This house is very big. It's no problem for me to live here by myself, but it wouldn't be very convenient if no one takes care of it." After hearing Wang Yue's instructions, Li Zhi didn't hesitate at all. He rode his horse and took Li Yu away. He actually needed to go home, otherwise his servants would be in trouble.

After Wang Yue and everyone else had left, he crossed the small bridge and came to the island in the middle. He wanted to see how this place could be arranged.

The island in the middle is not big, about three or four acres.

Originally there was only a shed left by the previous owner, which looked like it was used for fishing and camping, but since Wang Yue was going to live here, of course he had to clean it up.

As for these, Wang Yue certainly couldn't come here by himself. He just looked around here, and after having a rough plan in mind, he came to the town and hired some craftsmen.

Because Wang Yue paid money readily and gave a deposit directly, the craftsmen kept recruiting people spontaneously, and soon dozens of people came. Wang Yue's yard soon became busy.

Just when the craftsmen hired by Wang Yue began to renovate the place according to Wang Yue's requirements, Li Zhi's servant Li Yu hurried over with dozens of people and indentures.

As soon as Li Yu saw Wang Yue, he said quickly, "Sir, my son was called over by my master, so it's inconvenient for him to go and help buy people, so he arranged for me to go over. These are the people I bought, and I brought them here. Please take a look and see if they are suitable."

Wang Yue was prepared for this, so he nodded to show that he understood, and let Li Yu go.

Later, after settling the Li family, Zhao Jian and Le Shan came back together. When they saw that the place had changed drastically, they started to look around.

In fact, the main change in the house is that after half a day of hard work, the craftsmen have simply tidied up the simple wooden bridge, and now it has become a more solid wooden bridge, and it is no longer missing a wooden board from time to time like before.

Moreover, the craftsmen also cut down the weeds and small trees on the island, leaving only a few big trees, which made the island appear more spacious and cleaner.

In the middle of the island, Wang Yue plans to build a house and a pavilion, and also a martial arts field to prevent anyone from spying on him.

Zhao Jian immediately understood that they were going to let them practice martial arts on the island. She had no objection to this, but instead asked in confusion, "Master, why don't you let them clean up the house first? How are you going to stay at night?"

Wang Yue didn't care about it and said with a smile, "I can easily deal with a master like my master in one night, you don't have to worry about me. By the way, Leshan, where did your Li family move to now?"

Seeing Wang Yue asking about his family, Le Shan smiled and said, "Originally, my mother wanted to live in the capital. After all, with several girls like us, it's not particularly safe to live here.

But after Master chose this place, she also planned to settle down here and be your neighbor, which would also be convenient for me to practice martial arts.

So, my mother and my sisters chose the house in Zhuxian Town, which is right on the main street in the middle of Zhuxian Town. It’s quite lively there. I’ll take Master to see the place later.”

Wang Yue did not respond to this question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your mother sold all the land in your family. Now all you have left is money. What kind of business are you going to start next?"

Le Shan was originally very impatient about these things, but after listening to Wang Yue's question, he did not hesitate and said, "My eldest sister, third sister and my mother are planning to sell snacks. I wonder if the master has any ideas?"

Wang Yue also wanted to test it, so he smiled and said, "It's like this, my idea is that there are a lot of tea and snack shops in Beijing, and you won't have any advantage if you go there.

You probably can only support your family by doing that business, and you don’t have the family background that others have, so your prices probably don’t have any advantage over others.

I heard that the dowry of the girls in the capital is very large when they get married, and I am afraid that your mother’s wealth will be gone by the time she marries you all because of her business.”

When Le Shan heard what Wang Yue said, he immediately retorted, "I don't want to get married. I want to be like my senior sister and be a useful person to the country in the future."

After hearing this, Zhao Jian looked at his junior sister in surprise, but he didn't say much. She saw that Wang Yue probably had a plan, so she was curious about what Wang Yue wanted to do.
Wang Yue did not hide anything from his apprentices and said with a smile, "You also know that I know more, so I designed a boat that can run faster in the water than the current boats.

So I thought about setting up a trading company to transport goods from north to south through the canal.

It’s just that I don’t have time to take care of these businesses, so I want to hand them over to your Li family. I wonder if your Li family wants to cooperate.”

Le Shan was a little suspicious when she heard this. She was not like other girls who would not ask questions when they had them. She simply said, "Master, I can cooperate with you, but do you have money?"

Wang Yue was a little amused and helpless after hearing this. He took Le Shan and Zhao Jian directly to the main house of the villa.

The yard of the main house is not big, it is just a simple three-courtyard structure, and part of the yard just reaches the lake.

Wang Yue and the other two walked across the newly built wooden bridge and came directly to the yard, then opened the door of the warehouse.

The originally empty warehouse has now been filled with a large amount of silver by Wang Yue.

Silver is worthless in modern times. In order to prepare for a time travel to ancient times in the future, Wang Yue had prepared a lot of silver ingots.

At this moment, he took out a part of it and piled it in the room in simple wooden boxes.

Le Shan vaguely guessed something, so he ran over when he saw the box, opened the lid and took a look, and then he saw a box full of silver.

She could hardly believe her eyes, and quickly took out a silver coin to check it. It was indeed a real silver ingot.

Le Shan opened all the boxes in a hurry, and then he saw that the warehouse, which was originally a little dim, had become bright.

She made a rough estimate and found that the value of this silver alone was several times their family's wealth.
