The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 507 Whose family is this?

Chen Zhao's lucky boat has a large area.

There are three floors on the deck, the goods placed in the bilge, the horse carriage and the sedan chair, and the livestock and fodder that drive the wheels.

On the first floor lived the sailor boatman and the servant brought by Chen Zhao.

The second floor is where Chen Zhao's followers lived.

These entourages include Zhang Heqing, Han Xiaozhong and Sun Xiaodong.

Most of them are masters trained by Chen Zhao in Yangzhou.

They knew that Chen Zhao had a great future, and their own family property and career had long been inseparable from Chen Zhao, so of course they followed Chen Zhao.

Therefore, Chen Zhao would not be harsh on old dudes like Zhang Heqing and Han Xiaozhong who were in the yamen, and it was very good for them to get a place to live.

And now Sun Xiaodong is Chen Zhao's entourage, working as a housekeeper on the boat.

The third floor is where the family members live, one is where Lin Daiyu lives, and the other is where Chen Zhao lives.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu was not as lonely as she was when she went to Beijing for the first time in the original work.

In the original book, because Lin Ruhai was aggressive in Yangzhou and was plotted against by the salt merchant, his wife died of illness, so he didn't pay enough attention to the management of the backyard.

When Daiyu came to Beijing, she had only one nanny, Grandma Wang, and a ten-year-old maid, Yingge.

But it's different now.

There are two big maids by her side, namely Yingge and Lingge, and four little maids, Xueyan is just one of them.

There are also two nursing mothers beside her. They are two nursing mothers sent out of the palace by Emperor Xiaode on the request of the empress. They are both reasonable and knowledgeable. One of them, whose surname is Rong, is said to be very legendary.

Besides the big room where Lin Daiyu lives, there is also a guard woman guarding the door.

In short, everything is done at Daiyu's will and effort.

In fact, before departure, Chen Zhao had already made arrangements to transport many household belongings to the capital, leaving only some spare things in front of him,

His confidant, Sun Xiaodong, has already become his personal entourage at this moment, taking four or five capable men to Beijing to deal with the newly purchased land, houses and shops one step ahead of time.

In addition, there are more than 200 "family servants" in Chen Zhao's hands. They were cultivated by Chen Zhao in four years, but they did not ride on the blessing boat, but secretly took other boats and followed them around the blessing boat. , At the same time, it is used to protect the blessing boat.

……

The capital, Qinzheng Hall.

Qinzheng Hall is the private office of Emperor Xiaode, not far from Wenyuan Pavilion. He is sitting in it at this time, looking through the secret books slowly, asking a question or two to the figure standing in the shadow beside him from time to time, waiting When he saw the news of Chen Zhao's going to Beijing, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "This Chen Zishang finally went to Beijing, I'm so eager to see him!"

Really eager to see.

This young man helped the emperor get so much money, but he basically didn't ask for anything.

Of course, there are still requirements, which is to successfully participate in the examination.

This is basically not a problem.

Those who are successful in the examination are naturally eligible to take part in the examination.

Although Chen Zhao became a fourth-rank official as a juren, no one can stop him from resigning for the exam, right?

It shows that he has ambition and wants to be an official in the list.

Of course, it is only limited to curiosity.

Emperor Xiaode is the emperor, and caring about the affairs of his ministers is only out of the consideration of the emperor. Although Chen Zhao was able to poach so much money, it was also based on the full cooperation of the emperor himself.

In ancient times, there was Sanghong Yang, and today there is Chen Zishang.

Now Chen Zishang wants to give himself a Jinshi background, which is also human nature.

Naturally, he didn't care about these trivial matters, but he readily agreed to the minister's request.

"Except for his own servants, how many Yongding did Chen Zhao bring to Beijing?"

Emperor Xiaode asked.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the Dragon Guard, Chen Zhao brought a total of 230 people to Beijing. According to the inspection of the people below, these people are all innocent, wise and brave. When Chen Zhao was in Yangzhou, he taught them calligraphy and martial arts every day. Periodic assessment, judging by the minister, there will be a few talents in it."

said the figure.

"Well, it is consistent with what this person said in the secret note, which shows that he is loyal."

Emperor Xiaode commented casually, and said: "Speaking of which, this Chen Zhao is very capable. He can make money and cultivate talents. I have to think carefully about how to use it. If it is used for the Ministry of Households, why worry about the lack of national treasury? If it is used by my side, it will also help restrain others, what advice do you have?"

The last sentence was about that figure.

"Your Majesty's order, I dare not speak in vain." That figure resolutely refused to take the blame.

"Hehe." Emperor Xiaode was shocked: "Come here!"

The one who came in was of course Dai Quan, Emperor Xiaode's chief internal officer.

"I remember that several houses were confiscated last year, and one was the mansion of the former Emperor Ji Engong. Is the title deed of this house still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Your Majesty, that's right." Dai Quan replied immediately, almost without pause.

With such extensive knowledge and strong knowledge, it is no wonder that he can be trusted by the emperor.

Emperor Xiaode waved his hand: "Give this house to Chen Zhao, the heroic baron. He is my steed, so he can't be too shabby. Let the House of Internal Affairs take care of it."

Dai Quan's heart trembled, he nodded immediately and said, "Old slave obeys the order."

He naturally knew that the house was the house of a hero.Its scale is not smaller than Rongguo Mansion, and it has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than a year. Many people want to buy it, but the emperor has been uncertain, and he did not expect to leave it to Chen Zhao.

This Chen Zhao is probably even more humble than Lin Ruhai.

Not to mention that the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to tidy up the mansion in a hurry, but Chen Zhao was tired all the way, without describing them one by one, but when he arrived at the pier in the capital, something happened again.But it turned out that the Jia family sent a few servants to pick up the cousin and the cousin.

……

Capital City, Canal Wharf.

A few women and servants dressed in red and green, gold and silver were muttering there.

"Why hasn't the Lin family's boat arrived yet?"

"Did you miss it? Could it be that they came here by boat?"

"Our Jia's house has always been a big ship, and we are not so small when we go out."

The conversation in twos and threes was lowered, and there was another burst of laughter.From the outside, it looks like the women have good manners on the surface, but there is contempt in their words.

Another person laughed and said, "At least it's from a foreigner's family. I don't know what Miss Lin looks like?"

"Okay, put it away."

Zhou Ruijia, the housekeeper in Jia's mansion, coughed, and the women behind him fell silent, only smiling at each other with glances.

Zhou Rui's family is the companion of Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion and the mother-in-law of Leng Zixing, an old acquaintance of Jiayu Village.He often works and shows up in the Grand View Garden, Mrs. Wang and Lian's second grandmother.In the Rongguo Mansion, Zhou Rui's wife and grandmother were in charge of their travels.Her husband, Zhou Rui, was in charge of the money coming in and out of the land rent of Ningguo Mansion.

Zhou Rui's family has a clear mind and is well aware of the ridicule of the women.

Although the second master Lian had been to Yangzhou two years ago and seen the prosperity of the Lin family, his wife said it casually when chatting.Although my aunt married a scholarly family, she was just superficial, probably not as expensive as she was in Jia's mansion.

Don't look at the life in Yangzhou, which is full of fire and oil, but it is because it is located in the capital of flowers and it is also a government office, so it is inevitable that it will appear richer.

Then the Jia mansion came to pick up Miss Lin, there was nothing to gain.

Zhou Rui's family was complaining about why he got such an errand, when the mother-in-law exclaimed:
"Look, such a big lucky boat!"

"Whose family is this? It's really rich and noble!"

Zhou Rui's family looked up with a lack of interest, and the next moment their pupils dilated slightly.
