Volume 4 Chapter 52 Fame
The beauty of Hangzhou is in the West Lake.
Spring returns to the earth, the surface of the West Lake is sparkling, the light boat is rippling, and a hazy spring rain makes the light veil like cloud shadow floating on the West Lake.
The West Lake is already very beautiful, and the various beautiful legends related to the West Lake throughout the ages have also given the West Lake more connotations.
West Lake is surrounded by mountains on south, west and north, Hangzhou City in the east, and Qiantang River in the south.
In the drizzle, a lawn on the south bank of the sunset mountain, Luo Changfeng stood side by side with Li Xunhuan and others, looking at the picturesque lake and mountains in front of him.
After a long time, Li Xunhuan spoke: "Changfeng, you want to buy Xiaoyingzhou as a place to build a village in Flying Sword Villa, but I don't recommend you to do so." ”
Luo Changfeng asked, "Why?"
Li Xunhuan pointed to the island in the middle of the lake and said: "Xiaoyingzhou is located in the middle of the West Lake, surrounded by water, inconvenient to travel to, if it is besieged by a large number of enemies from all sides, there is no way to retreat, and the difficulty of breaking through is more than ten times greater, it is really a Jedi." ”
When Luo Changfeng heard this, he thought secretly for a moment, and couldn't help but nod slowly.
Li Xunhua's words are right, he built Feijian Villa to create a force of his own, not just to have a place to stay.
Several of them are the top masters in the rivers and lakes, even if they are besieged, they will not be afraid, but the people who join the Flying Sword Villa cannot all be masters.
If the villa is built on an island in the middle of the lake, there is a high chance that they will become barebones once they are besieged.
After Luo Changfeng figured it out, he said, "Then let's build the villa on this Xizhao Mountain!" Xiaoyingzhou Island was also bought as an annex to the Flying Sword Villa for us to rest and retreat. ”
Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "That's no problem, then let's go! Go to the tooth shop to find the tooth protection, this little Yingzhou, I'm afraid it's not cheap." ”
......
Xiaoyingzhou is really not cheap, no wonder until now, it has not been bought, it is not that the court does not sell it, but no one is willing to spend this unjust money to buy this useless island in the middle of the lake.
Now it is not as good as later generations, it can be used as a scenic spot to sell tickets and charge, as Li Xunhuan said, the island in the middle of the lake is not suitable as a nest of forces, and if you really do this, it is easy to be "smashed into the Yellow Dragon".
Unless someone can buy the entire West Lake and several surrounding mountains to create an iron bucket defense system.
But whose face can be so big? Who has the financial resources?
Just a small Yingzhou, Luo Changfeng and they spent 200,000 taels.
In this era, the price of land is indeed low, but it is relative, and it is also divided into lots, like the land on the shore of West Lake, no matter in any era, the price is not cheap.
Through the budget, the construction of the Flying Sword Villa designed by Luo Changfeng cost less than 3,000 taels for materials and the Xiaoyingzhou Courtyard, and the labor cost was only about 2,000 taels.
Even if Luo Changfeng asks for it to be completed as soon as possible, so if he has to find more labor, the budget will not exceed eight thousand taels.
You can buy the piece of land that Jianzhuang is located in Xizhao Mountain, only more than a mile away from Leifeng Tower, covering an area of 30 hectares, but it takes 20,000 taels.
Thirty hectares is not small, larger than Xingyunzhuang, from the south to the north, there is about a mile of land, from east to west is nearly 200 zhang.
Moreover, the purchase of these lands is not something that Yabao can decide, but has to go through the prefect of Hangzhou, and this matter is solved by Li Xunhuan.
Although Li Xunhuan is not an official, he is not only famous in the rivers and lakes, but the Li family is also famous in the officialdom.
Li Xunhuan's father has been a secretary of the household department, even if people go to tea and cool, it is not easy to ask people in the officialdom to do things, but they are in a hurry to send money, it is different.
In the end, Li Xunhuan handed over 230,000 taels to the prefect, and they bought Huxin Island and added it to Feijian Villa and Xiaoyingzhou Villa, about 228,000 taels could be solved, and the extra 2,000 taels needless to say.
The best thing is that the prefect is not considered a bribe, if in the words of later generations, Luo Changfeng and they can be regarded as contracting the project to the prefect.
As long as the quality and quantity can be guaranteed, and the villa is built according to the requirements, it has nothing to do with them how much the prefect earns.
After all, the budget was estimated by the tooth guard, but if the prefect personally asked, it might not cost so much money.
The prefect has arranged someone to be responsible for the project of the villa, and Luo Changfeng and Li Xunhuan basically don't need to take care of it.
For the time being, they lived in a small courtyard arranged by the prefect, which was located in the north of the city and was the private property of the prefect.
Luo Changfeng and they don't need to worry about the project, they only occasionally go to the construction site to have a look, and the rest of the time, they stay in the yard.
Luo Changfeng passed on a few styles of "Changfeng Sword Technique" to Ah Fei early every morning, and then let him practice on his own, and he went to the study to code words.
Fortunately, with Ah Fei's qualifications and understanding, there is no need to be on the side, just tell him the key to swordsmanship, and he will be able to practice it soon.
Song Baolin took the previous manuscript every day and practiced storytelling, and the audience was only Li Xunhuan, Lin Xian'er, and Tie Chuanjia.
Since arriving in Jiangnan, except for taking a bath and sleeping in the thatched house, Luo Changfeng did not let Lin Xian'er leave their monitoring for a moment.
......
At the end of January, Long Xiaoyun immediately sent people to disclose to Wulin that the plum blossom thief had been eliminated by the flying swordsman, the reward had been issued, and even Lin Xian'er had left with the flying swordsman.
At the same time, Tian Qi, Gongsun Moyun and others also left Xingyunzhuang one after another, of course, when they left, they all received a "compensation" from Long Xiaoyun, which was very considerable.
Therefore, although they were grounded here for a whole month, the martial arts heroes had no complaints, because the compensation paid by Long Xiaoyun was something they would never earn in a month, or even a year.
Of course, this does not include Tian Qi and Gongsun Moyun, they have a lot of money, and the money has not reached a certain amount, they don't care about it, with their level, they care more about "fame".
The name of the Flying Swordsman soon spread, and many people began to inquire about the identity of the Flying Swordsman and, of course, his whereabouts.
Soon, from the killing of the "black and white snakes" in the small town of Zhangjiakou to the killing of the plum blossom thief in Baoding Mansion, the experience of the flying swordsman was slowly discovered.
Everyone found out that this flying swordsman was so mysterious that no one knew where he came from or who he was trained from.
As Ah Fei's reputation became louder and louder, Luo Changfeng's existence was slowly picked up, and Li Xunhuan was also with him, Ah Fei suddenly became famous.
It's just that fame is followed by all kinds of troubles.
Of course, whether it is Luo Changfeng or Ah Fei, they are ready to face trouble.
As for Li Xunhuan, even he knows that he is most afraid of trouble, but trouble will always find him, and he has long been linked to trouble.
Even, he himself is a synonym for trouble, so he doesn't care about any trouble.
