"Not a lot?"

Lu Chengren said in surprise: "Don't let the lion speak loudly, otherwise I won't be able to make the decision."

"Go in and have a detailed discussion. I have already agreed with His Majesty."

The two entered the class room, and Wang Kang explained the situation. Since Emperor Zhao agreed, there would be no problem and the negotiations went smoothly.

It is not the first time that the Ministry of Industry and Wang Kang has cooperated with him. Everyone knows that he will definitely not treat him unfairly. The key point is that he can learn new levels of technology.

Lu Chengren had no trace of ink, so he announced the news directly and adopted a voluntary approach.

Unexpectedly, many people actively sign up.

Wang Kang needs a lot of people, mainly mature craftsmen, who can understand the drawings and formulate construction plans...

Carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, and plasterers are the most demanding.

When choosing, Lu Chengren was not stingy. He chose the most experienced old craftsmen, and Wang Kang also conducted a rough screening.

Don’t be too old-fashioned, be able to accept new things, new ideas, and have innovative spirit.

The list was soon decided, with a total of 53 people covering multiple levels. It was led by Wang Kang's old friend, Wang Fuchen, Li Zheng and Master Xi who had been to Xinfeng City and participated in steelmaking...

However, this list must be submitted to Emperor Zhao for approval.

After the decision was made, Wang Kang also promised to donate a sum of money to the Ministry of Works in his personal name as additional benefits in return.

This is originally mutual.

The final result is of course everyone is happy.

After everything was done, it was already dark. When I returned to the mansion, I saw a lot of people gathered at the mansion.

Zhou Qing said, "Young Master, it must be the Xiao family who has given the money."

According to what was said before, Xiao Liangping had to pay off the millions of bets with him within two days, and now it is time.

"So fast?"

Wang Kang was a little surprised. He raised the funds within one million days, which was not something that ordinary people could do.

Wang Kang also learned about it.

The Xiao family is a powerful family, inheriting the Wuhou family. Xiao Luan's father is the Anning Hou of the previous generation, and he has a profound background!

Most of the family members work in the court, and a small number of them do business and some industries.

But it is not realistic to take out a million in cash in such a short time, and you need to sell a lot of property!

Or mortgage and lend!

In short, it is enough to make the Xiao family hurt.

"The young master is back."

Wang Kang's carriage stopped outside the mansion, and several servants came up to him.

"Um."

Wang Kang nodded and walked over.

The Xiao family's mansion is also on the same street, very close to each other.

There were six or seven people from the Xiao family, but Xiao Luan was not present. The middle-aged man in the lead was pretty well maintained and had a bit of a demeanor. His face looked a bit similar to Xiao Luan.

It should be Xiao Luan's brother.

There are a few young people in the rest. What Wang Kang noticed was that one of them could be seen as outstanding even under the lights.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were as worried as a pool of clear water, her appearance was extremely beautiful, as if it was as dizzy as a pearl, beautiful jade shining, and there was a bookish breath between her eyebrows and eyes...

Even if he had never seen it before, Wang Kang knew that this woman should be Xiao Lanxin, one of the four noble beauties.

He has a temperament like orchid, and has both virtue and art.

In Shangjing, it is also quite famous.

But just glanced over and Wang Kang said, "Put down the money and leave."

"Mr. Wang, we didn't collect all the money because of the time being too tight."

At this time the middle-aged man spoke.

"Oh, I'm quite rational and strong!"

Wang Kang raised his eyebrows and said, "I believe you should know my style of doing things. There is still some time left, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"We just don't give it to you, so what can you do?"

After Wang Kang's voice fell, a young man shouted.

"A grandchildren dare to talk to me like this?"

Wang Kang said coldly: "Don't think about fooling me in this matter. I don't have that much patience!"

"you……"

The young man's face suddenly turned red, and the others looked ugly.

After making a bet, Xiao Luan called Wang Kang's father. Aren't these juniors the grandchildren?

This hit the Xiao family's soreness.

"Xiao Ning, shut up!"

The middle-aged man Xiao Sui took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Wang, our two families are so close, and we don't look up and see each other, so there is no need to do this."

"Stop talking nonsense, get the money!"

Wang Kang was not polite, and he also saw that he was here to fool him.

"There is no money, but there are people!"

Xiao Sui said, "My niece, I believe Mr. Wang has also heard of it. She is as elegant as orchid and has both virtue and art. Now she is following Lord Wang, and she is all arranged by Lord Wang as a slave."

Hearing this.

Wang Kang couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Xiao Lanxin.

"As long as Lord Wang can reduce gambling debts, Lan Xin will be yours from now on and will have no connection with the Xiao family!"

Her tone was very calm, as if there was no discomfort at all...

"Ha ha!"

Wang Kang suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"I thought Xiao Luan was also a character, but I didn't expect it to be like that!"

Wang Kang said lightly: "He can think of it even if he uses women to pay off his debts!"

"Why don't Lord Wang want it?"

Xiao Sui continued: "My niece has many suitors, and I don't know how many young masters fall in love with her..."

"Enough!"

Wang Kang interrupted directly and said coldly: "Give you two more hours to send me the money, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Let's go back."

After Wang Kang finished speaking, he was about to enter the mansion. Xiao Luan was extremely ridiculous. He gave up and thought of such a way.

In order not to damage the family's financial resources, use women to pay off the debt!

But he was indeed wrong, Wang Kang is not a person who is lustful.

It has no effect on him!

Xiao Sui's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Wang Kang was unmoved at all.

At this time, Xiao Lanxin suddenly raised her voice and said, "Mr. Wang, isn't my name Xiao Lanxin worthy of you?"

Wang Kang stopped and turned around and said, "I understand that you want to share the worries of the family, but do you think you are worth one million?"

"How much?"

"How much can I count?"

"Is Xiao Luan like this? He hid behind his back and did not dare to show up, so he pushed his daughter in front."

Wang Kang shook his head and said, "Useless things, including people, are worthless to me!"

"Get the money!"

Then, Wang Kang returned to his mansion.

"this……"

The Xiao family looked at each other, but Xiao Lanxin stood there on the spot, and the four words kept echoing in her mind...

"Damn it!"

Xiao Sui couldn't help but curse.

"So what if we don't give it to him?"

Several juniors rushed to speak.

"Wang Kang's heart is too hard and he is not moved at all."
