Chapter 15 Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion

Zhao Jin's mansion is very large and luxurious. The two stone lions in front of the door are lifelike. They are placed on the market, and at least 30 to 40 stakes of coins are enough for a family of three to spend in a year. There are four escorts of the royal palace standing outside the Zhuqi gate, but Zhao Jin only has four escorts of the royal palace. It’s not that Zhao Jin doesn’t want to be too much, so he really can’t afford it. A escort of the royal palace costs 500 cents plus five dou of rice, and two sets of clothes a year in spring and winter. On average, the cost per month is about the same as the cost.

Now Zhao Chen's income is only twenty cents, and there are also slaves, who spend money on weekdays, repairing mansions, etc., all of them are all for money!

When I entered the door, there was a large courtyard, which was like a Feng Shui bureau, planting ornamental flowers, plants and trees in an orderly manner. It was just March now, and a few red plums bloomed in the wind. The faint fragrance mixed with the spring breeze makes people feel particularly comfortable.

Advancing along the carved corridor, looking around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing three long beards in a blue official robe and a few officials who also had blue official robes greeted him at the other end of the corridor.

When they arrived in front of Zhao Jin, several people hurriedly saluted.

"Cao Feiliang, the chief of the Xiaguan Palace, met the prince!" The middle-aged man with three long beards took the lead in saluting.

"Yishan (official title) of Xiaguan Wangfu..."

"The King's Friend of the Xiaguan Palace..."

There were five subordinates in total, but Zhao Qin remembered Cao Feiliang, who was relatively handsome. However, there were not many subordinates in the royal palace and were relatively leisurely. In fact, their greater role was to supervise whether Zhao Qin was outdated. Especially when he joined the army in the royal palace, although Zhao Qin could not resist his name, he knew that he was the person sent by Liu E to him.

Zhao Qian was too lazy to be polite to them, so he waved his hand, leaving Cao Feiliang to follow him, and walked straight through the front yard, and after passing the front yard was the living room. Although it was the first time to get in the ownership, the living room was not missing except for the furniture decoration. This was the custom at that time. Generally, the emperor rewarded the mansion, and the furniture was complete, and some even sent a hundred and ten servants. In the living room, several young maids who had recently bought stood on both sides, and when they saw Zhao Qian, they hurriedly bowed.

Zhao Qin turned his head and asked Cao Feiliang, "Where is my dormitory?"

Cao Feiliang quickly made a gesture of invitation. "Prince, please come here!"

"Well! You guys will part!" Zhao Qin's words later were said to the servants.

The servants bowed and thanked each other again. Zhao Qian had already headed straight towards his dormitory. After turning several turns, he came to the dormitory. Sandalwood was already burning in the dormitory, and the fragrance was not strong, but it was faint.

Although the dormitory is called a dormitory, it is actually equivalent to a small suite, three bedrooms and one living room. According to later calculations, it is about 80 square meters. Of course, not all the three rooms are sleeping with Zhao Qian. Except for Zhao Qian's bedroom, a room is a place where slaves and maids sleep. The main reason is that if Zhao Qian has something to do at night, they can also serve them.

The last place is a place where concubines and maids of the same room are sleeping. According to the rules of this era, concubines and maids of the same room cannot sleep with the main room, but after they were naturally exhausted and it is difficult to return to their own room. It is impossible for anyone to have an ordinary maid's room, so they specially set up such a room for them.

However, the dormitory is empty now, so there is no wives or concubines on the one hand. On the other hand, although the maids who served Zhao Jin have a room here, they watch the night. The real room is not here, so naturally there is no one.

Zhao Qian asked Cao Feiliang to leave on his own and sat straight on the desk in the hall.

Zhao Qian was thinking about his gains and losses this time, and what caused him to fall into a disadvantage in the struggle with Liu E. As time passed, Zhao Qian didn't even eat any food.

Finally, Zhao Qian understood one thing, that is power! Of course, there are other reasons. Zhao Qian was unruly and didn't care too much about the minor details, so he gave others a chance to take action.

But people are not sages, so who can do nothing wrong? After all, it is because of power. Just like Liu E's nephew Liu Congde, who had a man under him flattered him and was recommended by Liu Congde. Liu E was very happy, and the general idea was that the people of my Liu family were really caring and knew how to recommend talents to the court.

But this person doesn't have to be appointed any ability. There are already officials who know him as a person who has submitted memorials. Liu E didn't even look at it. She was anxious to impeach him, and the one who was dismissed from office was dismissed, and the one who was demoted was demoted.

The reason is just one word for power!

But how can we get this power? Taizong had laws and regulations that all the children of the royal family were not allowed to join the post. This position was actually power. In the Song Dynasty, the officials were mostly false, in name but not real, and they used money to live. The position was to do things and really gain real power.

However, after thinking about it, the possibility of his ability to be in power is very low. At least for now. After careful consideration, Zhao Qian summarized his three biggest shortcomings. He is too young! Including Xu Sui, he is only thirteen. It is not easy to be an official at a young age.

Another thing is that Emperor Taizong was the grandfather of Emperor Renzong of Song. He had not died for a long time, so he had a lot of power! In terms of justice, Emperor Renzong of Song immediately changed the sect system. The last one is that Liu E is in power now. Could Liu E give Zhao Jin a chance to turn things around?

After thinking hard and unable to figure out the method, Zhao Qian had to fall on the bed in depression, and fell into a deep sleep after a moment.

On the fifth day of the next day, the sound of the chanting Buddha's name came from outside, "It's bright and bright!". The chanting Buddha's name usually practices the voice of chanting Buddha's name. Its purpose is to "teach people to avoid sleep" and not miss the opportunity to chant Buddha's name. Because its sound is mysterious and punctual, it slowly replaced the chanting Buddha's name and became an "alarm clock" that awakens people.

If you have to make a contribution, you will naturally find it. On the first day of the lunar month, the fifteenth day and various festivals, Toutuo will go to the street to ask for vegetarian food. The vegetarian money will be paid as a reward, and residents will usually give it with a smile.

It was the fourth day of the morning and it was still dark. However, Zhao Jin, who was used to the work and rest of the Song Dynasty, had no obstacles and had slowly stood up. A maid immediately brought a copper basin of white towels for Zhao Jin to wash. After washing, Zhao Jin went outside to practice martial arts. It was a standard set of Taizu long fist. In the cold morning, the dancing air whistled.
