Chapter 164

"Has Han Qi's youngest son joined the army?"

"If you go back to the official's house, yes." Cao Hua poured Zhao Sheng a cup of tea.

"It's smart." A family like the Han family really knows how to adapt.

"Does the official want to intercept it?"

"No, I didn't mean to kill them all. I ordered that no one should be favoritism. If he can kill a way out, I will not be stingy with rewarding him."

"promise."

Zhao Sheng also let go of the affairs of the Han family. He has so many things to do now that he has no energy to focus on the Han family.

Now the most talked about in Bianliang is naturally his big marriage, because Zhao Sheng has no son, and there is only one county lord in the harem, many people who want to take shortcuts want to send their families or other beautiful women to Zhao Sheng's harem.

Look at the benefits that Wen Cheng's natal family has received. Such a low investment and high return is something that no one can resist the temptation.It's just that Zhao Sheng handed over the entire harem to his mother, and no mother expected her son to have such a vixen by her side.

In particular, Empress Dowager Cao has experienced Wen Cheng's incidents, so she is even less concerned with those methods of inviting favor by appearance.

If the son finds it by himself, she has no right to object, but those people with ulterior motives who want to send those dubious women to him will definitely not be able to pass her test.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't look good to have only one Junjun in the harem of an official family. If you don't like those women you are attracted to, then you can choose a few for the official family. You can't let the harem of the official family stay so empty. The previous dynasty has already There are rumors." Concubine Miao persuaded.

"I originally thought that these matters should be handed over to the queen, but you are right. The queen may not guarantee justice in this matter. It is also a problem if some officials don't like it. After all, the heirs are the most important thing. "Although Wen Cheng hates it, she also gave birth to three princesses. It's one thing not to support her, but another thing to be able to have them.

The Zhao family's emperor's heirs are all in a difficult situation, and the Empress Dowager Cao cannot guarantee that the queen will give birth to a prince in the future, and the prince will be able to raise him.

So we still have to cast a wide net.The son looked like a workaholic, if the harem was full of women he didn't like, the number of times he entered the harem would definitely not be high that day.She is still waiting to hold her grandson.

"That's how it is. If the government has a prince sooner, the hearts of the people will be at ease." Concubine Miao still remembered how chaotic the days when the first emperor had no children.

"There is a girl with the same temper as you in Suiyan's family. If there is a concubine like you in the official harem, I will be relieved." Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Miao have been together for decades, and love her character , Believe in her.

"The empress thinks highly of my concubine, but the girl of my concubine's family is vulgar, and I'm afraid she won't be worthy of an official family."

"Nonsense, you bring someone over to show me some other day, but I really don't know what kind of old man the officials like." Empress Dowager Cao was also in a dilemma. Although it was her own son, this child was probably a born emperor. Huang, even her own mother can't know his true thoughts.

Zhao Sheng didn't know that his old mother had already started to worry about his heirs, and she was still looking for a suitable concubine for him while looking for the posthumous ceremony.

In terms of filial piety, Zhao Sheng would not give anyone a place to talk, and besides, the queen mother is his own mother after all.No matter how busy Zhao Sheng is, he will not cancel the daily morning and evening appointments.

If there are good things, they are sent to the Hall of Compassion and Peace first.Even matters in the harem are decided by the queen mother.Therefore, even though the former court had many complaints against him, the filial piety of officials was recognized throughout the country.

In this era, a person's good or bad often depends on whether you are filial, and the common people don't care about the difference between officials and military officials.What they saw was that after the officials came to power, they had more job opportunities, and the construction of Qilin City did not require corvee.Instead, they counted their wages.

For many people, it is just a good opportunity to increase income.Especially the people outside Bianliang City, and even the people in the entire Kinki area know that the imperial court needs people for such a big project, with food and housing included, and the wages given are very reasonable.

Working for half a year during the slack season is more than enough for the family for two years.

"It's much better than working for the landlord's house."

Huang Youfu is the youngest son of the head of Huangjia Village, which is more than fifty miles away from Bianliang City. .

Huang Youfu likes to go to the towns to get some good and cheap things to sell back to the village, and he is very familiar with the nearby villages.Originally, he had to worry about the robbers nearby, so he didn't dare to go too far.

But a few months ago, it was said that it was the official's personal soldiers who led a lot of soldiers to plow all the surrounding hills.Huang Youfu didn't know how big the scope of their mopping up was, anyway, the place he went to was peaceful.

So a month ago, he took a longer journey to Bianliang City, which he had been longing for before.As the capital of the dynasty, the prosperity of Bianliang really made him linger.But Huang Youfu still knew that he wanted to find some buddies who could make money, after all, he spent a lot of money on the trip this time.

Then he was shocked by the price of Bianliang.He didn't even have enough money to find himself a better resting place.In the end, he could only find a family in a poor area to stay for one night.The accommodation conditions can be imagined, but Huang Youfu is not a particular person.

On the second day, Huang Youfu originally wanted to leave early because he had already discovered that there was no room for him to live here.But it was such a coincidence that as soon as he walked to the Vermilion Bird Gate, he found a group of people discussing something enthusiastically.

Huang Youfu is a smart talker, seeing such excitement, he naturally joined in: "My lord, has something happened here?"

The person who was accosted by Huang Youfu was a middle-aged man who was not young, wearing a Confucian shirt and a beard.Although the clothes have been washed and turned white, they are still neat and tidy.

I was probably delighted by Huang Youfu's "noble man" and his respectful attitude.The uncle stroked his beard and said, "This is the imperial list. The officials are going to build a satellite city on the east side of Bianliang. It is said to be called Qilin City, with food and lodging included. The monthly payment is [-] Wen , Salary is paid once a month. Interested people can sign up."

"Huangbang!" Huang Youfu was surprised at the beginning that this was Huangbang, and then he couldn't believe what he said later.

"Is it true that there is such a good thing?" One must know that their family can barely save one or two hundred coins for a year by working from dawn to dusk.He knew that many people in the village couldn't even fill their stomachs after working for a year.As soon as you encounter someone with a bad year, you have to live without hunger.

"Of course it is true. This is the imperial list of the official family, and our new official family is the most trustworthy..." The middle-aged man in Confucian shirt told Huang Youfu about the Huitong Bank.This uncle's storytelling level is very good, and a story told by him is thrilling.

Huang Youfu, who had never seen the big world, was naturally taken aback when he heard it, and he let out shocked exclamations from time to time, which really set off the atmosphere.

Even some people who joined in the fun next to them listened with gusto.

After the lecture, the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt felt a little thirsty, but he was very proud to see the adoration in the eyes of the young man opposite him.

After listening to the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt, Huang Youfu came to the conclusion that everything said on the imperial list is true.So I went to the official who was dressed in official clothes and signed up.

Huang Youfu didn't know how much his decision today would affect him in the future.Anyway, after signing up, a group of them were sent to the construction site that is said to be Qilin City.

"Those are temporary houses for you to live in. There are eight people in one room. You should pay attention to hygiene. There are canteens, bathrooms, and huts over there. The manager of the living area is the manager. If you encounter problems here, you can Go find him, and there is a series of regulations for living here, and the stewards will read you one by one in a while. If you violate the regulations, you will be fined wages, and you will be expelled from here.”

Huang Youfu actually had no idea in his heart, but he saw that there were many people around him, so he didn't make a fuss about running away.

Then in the next month, one thing after another surprised him.

There are many tools on this construction site that he doesn't know, but they are very easy to use.Building walls with something called cement is really fast, good and labor-saving.

There is also the red brick and tile house they built, which is bright and beautiful. After the first house was built, everyone envied people who could live in this kind of house.

"You don't have to be envious. The houses here are not too expensive. It is said that there are preferential policies for employees. You work hard, get a few more 'excellent employees' brands or make more contributions. The more points you get, the better you will be. It’s cheap. Those who spend more than [-] yuan can get a house for free.” Manager Nian said to the workers with a smile.

The welfare of these stewards is better.

"Great, I must work harder in the future."

"Yes, it will be easy for my son to marry a wife after such a good house."

"It is said that this is still a small building, and the building is built over there. But it is a bit scary."

"Hey, I don't care about these things. My family has a house in Bianliang. What I like most is the food here. There is really a lot of meat here."

"Yeah, yeah, I really didn't expect to eat meat so many times. I ate more this month than I used to eat in a year."

"It's rabbit meat. It is said that there is a mountain bun over there that raises these meat rabbits. It is the property of the official family. The official family is really kind. Give us meat."

"Yes, yes, we are also working for the officials, and we must work hard to repay the officials in the future."

Steward Nian nodded in satisfaction after listening to everyone's words. He couldn't believe that the government gave these mud-legged people such a good treatment before, but there was an order not to treat these workers badly.It is said that the officials will inquire from time to time, neither they nor the people above dare to be careless.

This official is not the one in the lead. The four pro-armies in his hands are already well-known in the bandit suppression for nearly a year.The court hall has been cleaned once more.Everyone could see that this official was a young hero, and every step he took was extremely steady.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he took back a large area of ​​land, and then the establishment of the pro-army gave him enough cards.The purpose of Qilin City is probably not simple.

Huang Youfu worked conscientiously in Qilin City for a month. He ate enough and slept well. At the end of the month, he paid fifty cents a penny.Thirty Wen is the basic salary, and the other [-] Wen is for his serious work, and the manager said it is performance salary.In the past month, he heard a lot of things that he didn't understand, but it didn't matter, as long as he got the real money.This is fifty pennies. If he wasn't afraid of his family worrying, he might have to work here all the time.

Huang Youfu, who returned to Huangjia Village, talked to the villagers about what he encountered along the way.

"That's much better than working for the landlord's house."

Huang Youfu sat at home with the fifty Wen he earned on the table, surrounded by villagers from Huangjia Village, many of whom had never left this small village in their entire lives.Hearing Huang Youfu talk about the situation in Bianliang is naturally with great interest.

"Youfu, is this true?" The young villagers who were about Huang Youfu's age couldn't sit still.They have nothing but strength.If you earn 180 wen a month, you will get [-] wen in half a year.This is a lot of money.

"Who am I, can I lie to you about this kind of thing? In order to verify whether the thing is true, didn't I just work there for a month before I came back."

"Is there really any meat to eat?" The children were all focused on the meat.

"Of course it is true. Other things in Bianliang are not cheap, but there are meat rabbits sold in the small market on the construction site. They only cost five cents each. They are very fat. I bought two before I left, and I can eat them for a long time when I take them home. Steward Nian also said that there will be other good things for sale in this small internal market in the future, and they are all very cheap."

Everyone swallowed their saliva when they thought of the smell of meat wafting from the village head's house these days.Meat is a luxury for them.

"Blessed, you said before that you still have to go to Bianliang to work."

"Yes, if I wasn't worried about my family, I wouldn't come back this time." Huang Youfu nodded: "I want to hurry up and earn more money. If only I could buy a house in Qilin City, don't you guys know where it is?" What a nice house. Hehe, maybe I can marry a girl from the city in the future."

"Blessed, can we go with you? We have never been to such a far place." A young man was a little embarrassed.

They really didn't have Huang Youfu's courage.

"Of course, don't worry, the banditry along the way has been cleaned up, and you have seen the government's relatives. They will patrol and guard around Kinki from time to time, so it's very safe." Huang Youfu He is not a solitary eater, not to mention that the construction site has been recruiting people. According to the manager of the year, when introducing new people to the construction site, they must guarantee their character, but there are points and silver rewards for each person introduced.

He knew the people in their village, so he could naturally take them to work.

With Huang Youfu's words, the excited young man is naturally happy to talk to his family, and then go to Bianliang to earn money.

So when Huang Youfu returned to Qilin City again, a large group of men around his age followed behind him.And he's not alone in doing this.

The construction of Qilin City is not slow, and the money in Zhao Sheng's hand is also flowing out.But he didn't care. Firstly, he had money, and secondly, he would earn the money back from other places.

The raising of rabbits is an idea on his whim. This era is not modern, and everyone is afraid of getting fat.Ordinary people may not eat meat once a year.The meat rabbits in his space reproduce rapidly, and the meat is delicious.Hundreds of meat rabbits can be released every month.

This number is still growing rapidly, and one can imagine the benefits it can bring in the future.

And oil, salt.Things like sugar are fist products.

Everything is developing in the direction he expected, except for the harem.

Zhao Sheng looked at the girl sitting across from him.

"Official family, this is the niece of Concubine Miao's natal family. Her boudoir name is Xueniang."

At the beginning, Zhao Sheng didn't understand what his mother meant, but he was still very willing to give face to Concubine Miao, so his attitude towards this girl was also very gentle.

Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Miao looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

When Zhao Sheng was rushed to the back of the Chuigong Hall by the eight hundred miles of the previous court, the queen mother's decree was also spread throughout the harem.The Miao family was named a five-rank talent.

Although Zhao Sheng was a little surprised, he didn't have much thought about the harem anymore.The chaos in the Liao Kingdom ended, and in the end Yeluzong really won miserably.Empress Dowager Xiao was exiled, and the land that was previously obtained because of Empress Dowager Xiao naturally became the focus of competition between the two countries again.

It's just that Zhao Sheng will never spit out the benefits that have already been obtained, so this battle is inevitable.
