Wang Zuo, Wang Jin and Wang Fu walked out of the village together. Wang Fu couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Father, uncle Jin, the harvest of each village is poor this year, and our food is not enough to control. Why do you still agree to the second son's proposal to donate a piece of grain to save refugees?"

There are many shops in Hangzhou City, and they will definitely pledge them all at that time. That is a considerable number. Moreover, there are unexpected things that happen now. It feels a bit too busy. Wang Fu is a little unable to understand why his father and Wang Jin are still so happy!

"Fu'er, the second young master's proposal is very good," Wang Zuo smiled, "Think about it, these refugees are doing things that are often done. If the weather is colder, their lives will become less settled, and more troubles will arise, and even refugee riots will occur. If there are major chaos, Li Hongjie will definitely send troops to suppress it. It may involve our villages, at least disrupt our arrangements. If some things are accidentally exposed, it will be uncontrollable. So after I heard the second young master's proposal, of course, I would support it unconditionally!"

Wang Jin nodded affirmatively, "That's true, Fu'er, the second young master's proposal has solved a big problem for us. We can also take the opportunity to expand our influence and recruit some refugees under our command to strengthen our strength. I and your father have a solution for this matter!"

"So that's it!" Wang Fu suddenly understood!

"Okay, let's go and get things done quickly. We will talk to the second young master when we come back later!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Wang Zuo, Wang Jin, and Wang Fu went out for a while and returned to the mansion.

Wang Yi comforted Wang Tan, who looked aggrieved because he had not seen him for most of the day, and asked Wang Tan to continue listening to the lectures of the gentleman Wang Jian, the invited gentleman. When Wang Zuo and others came back, he immediately came out to see them.

After entering the study, Wang Zuo politely said to Wang Yi: "Second Young Master, we have given instructions on everything. Don't worry. As long as Li Hongjie has ordered it, we will cooperate immediately. Don't worry about these trivial matters, second master, you should not worry about them anymore. I have already arranged the person!"

"Okay, I'm working uncle, I'm close to him!" Wang Yi was very satisfied with his subordinates' ability to do things.

After entering the house, Wang Zuo and Wang Jin reported some other situations to Wang Yi. Wang Yi was not very clear about some of the situations, and Wang Zuo and Wang Jin did not report in detail. Of course, Wang Yi knew that this was just their politeness and did not ask questions.

Today, Wang Zuo and Wang Jin came over, and there should be other discussions. Wang Yi looked at it twice, but saw that there were hesitation in both of them. He immediately asked, "Uncle Zuo, Uncle Jin, do you have anything else to say?"

He found it strange that these people have always acted neatly, so why did they show their hesitation today? Did they encounter something very difficult to do?

Wang Zuo showed his eyes to Wang Jin and Wang Fu, and both of them walked out after bowing to Wang Yi!

There were only two people left in the house, and Wang Zuo asked carefully: "Second Young Master, did you hear that you went to Shuiyun Pavilion that day?"

"Yes, it was Wang Fu who accompanied me!" Wang Yi was very surprised that Wang Zuo, a man in his forties and fifties, would also ask him about a brothel woman.

The expression on Wang Zuo's face was a little strange: "I heard that the second young master came back halfway through that day?!"

"Suddenly I lost interest!" Seeing Wang Zuo's expression, Wang Yi looked a little unhappy!

"Second Young Master, are you dissatisfied with Miss Su Yan?"

Wang Yi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Miss Su is indeed an excellent woman, but...ah, I won't talk about this!"

"Second Young Master, Miss Su was specially ordered by Wang Lin to buy it. She originally wanted to be a concubine for the Second Young Master," Wang Zuo said a little hesitant, "Second Young Master, don't worry, we have all learned about Miss Su Yan's family background. Her grandfather was Su Wei, the prime minister of the previous dynasty. But she was a illegitimate daughter. Their lineage suffered major changes, which led to the current situation... She is also an innocent woman!"

"Su Wei?" Wang Yi, the prime minister of Emperor Yang of Sui, knew a little aware of it, but he never expected that Su Yan's ancestors would have such a prominent identity. His fate was really a trick. Su Yan, who was originally a noble lady from a wealthy family, would actually fall into the fireworks alley!

"Second Young Master, Miss Su Yan is very beautiful. The business of Shuiyun Pavilion has been very popular for this period, and it is all her fault." Wang Zuo looked at Wang Yi's uncertain expression and immediately changed his mouth, and said, "But we have protected her well, and never gave anyone else the opportunity to take advantage of it, and it is impossible for her to receive anyone, even if there is no one to listen to music in her room. Second Young Master, you can rest assured ten thousand hearts..."

Wang Yi waved his hand and signaled Wang Zuo not to say anything. After Wang Zuo stopped, he asked, "Uncle Zuo, let's talk about Miss Su later. Anyway, he can't even run away in our Shuiyun Pavilion... What I'm curious is that Shuiyun Pavilion belongs to our name, and Mengxiang Tower is the same. What else is there? I hope you can tell me what industries we have in Hangzhou City?"

After hearing Wang Yi's question, Wang Zuo seemed very hesitant. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said, "Since the second young master wants to know, I will tell you about the situation of some of our stores in Hangzhou City today!"

"Okay!" Wang Yi suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this. This was something he wanted to know very much. After asking Wang Zuo, Wang Fu did not get their exact answer several times. He did not expect that he could know it by threatening Wang Zuo a few words today. Of course he was happy and a little surprised.

He doesn't want to think about Su Yan for the time being, nor does he want to talk about anything more!

"Second Young Master, in Hangzhou, in addition to the two larger stores, Shuiyun Pavilion under the jurisdiction of Wang Lin and Mengxianglou under the jurisdiction of Wang Fu, we have another restaurant in the east of the city called "Shangxianglou". The shopkeeper is called Wang Tong, and there are two stores selling grain. They are also the two largest stores selling grain in Hangzhou. One storekeeper is called Wang Ming, the other storekeeper is called Wang Shoushan, and there are two cloth shops, which are also the largest cloth shop in Hangzhou. The shopkeeper is... There is also a pharmacy, two grocery stores, three iron shops... and..." Wang Zuo told all the home business under Wang Yi's name like several treasures.

Wang Yi was surprised and opened his eyes wide. These stores were the largest and most well-known stores in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, they all belonged to his name. To a rough estimate, the market value of these industries is not very large. To a certain extent, it can be said that they have influenced the economic destiny of Hangzhou. This is incredible. How can we do these? Those who can make such arrangements must have a little brain and a lot of energy. Who arranged this? Who does this mean? Is it Wang Zuo? Or Wang Jin? Or those with good standing in the village?

Wang Yi also understood a little. His subordinates must not only be the more than 300 people in the "Chuyun Village", but there must be many people in other places. Otherwise, there would be no such large industry. If these stores were concerned, Hangzhou's economy would almost collapse!

"Uncle Zuo, I'm close to you, I didn't expect that we had so many shops!" After Wang Zuo finished speaking, Wang Yiyu said in amazement.

"Second Young Master, these are the results of our hard work over the past few years!" Wang Zuo looked calm, "Second Young Master, on New Year's Eve, I will gather all the leaders of these shops to let you know each other and make arrangements in the future!"

"Okay! I was about to meet them!" Wang Yi was overjoyed. Wang Zuo said this, which showed that he further agreed with him!

However, Wang Yi also didn't understand one thing, that is, in today's era, the ranks of literati, peasant, industrial and commercial commerce, merchants are almost the lowest class, and they should be lower than women in brothels. Generally, people with status are unwilling to go to business at all. Why do Wang Zuo and other well-known people in the villages are willing to do business? What are the special reasons?

Thinking of this, Wang Yi asked again: "Uncle Zuo, why do we have so many stores in Hangzhou?"

Wang Zuo hesitated for a while, and after a while, he seemed to finally make up his mind and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, because we need a lot of money and food for possible purposes, we have been working hard to accumulate wealth in the past few years... As for the specific reason, when the Second Young Master meets these people, I will tell you again!"

Wang Zuo said this, and Wang Yi didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and agreed, "Uncle Zuo, okay, I know you are afraid that I will take too many things. You will carry many things yourself and don't worry me, but I have grown up and many things can help you more or less. I hope that Uncle Zuo can let me know more things after the New Year, okay?"

Wang Yi said this, which moved Wang Zuo very much and said a little choked: "Second Young Master, you are so sensible, so smart and promising, I have no worries about it. It's just that many things are too important and are related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. You must not go wrong. So I thought about it over and over again and decided to tell you later. Please let me understand the intention of my arrangement like this!"

"Uncle Zuo, I understand. I also thank you very much, as well as you and my uncles, as well as all the uncles and all of you for taking care of me and Tan'er over the years. When I see them, I would like to express my gratitude! Please give me this opportunity!" Wang Yi said, standing up and bowed to Wang.

Wang Zuo quickly stood up and returned the gift, "Don't worry, second young master, I will arrange everything! That old man is going out to do the business first!"

"Okay! Uncle Zuo," Wang Yi bowed to Wang again, "Uncle Zuo, I know that the evaluation of the courtesan in Yonglefang next year will be held during the Lantern Festival. At that time, I will write a good poem for Miss Su, and she will definitely win the title of Courtesan!"

Wang Zuo was surprised again, and finally felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, that's fine... Then I'll leave first!"

Wang Yi nodded and bowed to Wang Zuo to leave.

Wang Zuo took two steps and turned around when he was about to reach the door, bowed to Wang Yi and said, "Second Young Master, I think Miss Su Yan is very talented and has a good impression of you, and you also have a different view of her. According to Lao I'm thinking, it's better to take her as a concubine, and you can also have someone to take care of you!"

After Wang Zuo finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yi with relief, hoping that his efforts would be understood by Wang Yi.

"Uncle Zuo, I know, I will consider it. Anyway, Miss Su is our person, and there is no need for the key," Wang Yi waved his hand. He is in a very complicated mood now, a beautiful dream is broken, and he doesn't know how to face Su Yan!

"That's good, let's talk about it later!" Wang Zuo was a little embarrassed, opened the door and walked out...
