After getting the calculation stamped with Pang Gong's seal, Zhou Jun found Qiu Yong again.
This time, the other party no longer had any worries. He took Zhou Jun directly to the treasure room and talked to another old man in charge of guarding the matter. Together, they took out the key and opened the lock, opening the door where the copper coins and silk were stored.
box.
Qiu Yong originally planned to hand over all the money to Zhou Jun at once, but if he had to carry such a large amount of money with him, it would be inconvenient to carry it and not safe.
Therefore, Zhou Jun only withdrew a small part of the money as the first payment.
Zhou Jun signed the amount and name on the inner treasury note handed over by Qiu Yong, stamped his fingerprint, and then walked towards the wing room carrying the heavy cash box.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Jun saw Hua Yue lying on the table writing and drawing.
"We will go back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning." Zhou Jun put the cash box on the table, fell on the bed and let out a long breath: "We will be busy starting tomorrow."
Huayue stopped writing, turned back to look at Zhou Jun on the bed, and asked: "I heard from Yuping that you became the secret servant of Pang Mansion?"
Zhou Jun nodded: "Yes, the first task Pang Gong gave me was to repair the garden, purchase slaves and repave the roads. From now on, there will be less people staying in Chang'an, and more people may need to live here.
"
Huayue: "Then what will you do when you go back tomorrow?"
Zhou Jun: "Let me think about it. First of all, I need to hire craftsmen and bring them to Bachuan to repair the Zhongyuan. Next, I need to buy some slaves for Bachuan Villa, and then find a way to repair the broken road at the door.
Fix it.”
"By the way, I will take you home tomorrow. Just stay there and don't come over."
Huayue: "What if I say, I want to stay here?"
Zhou Jun got up from the bed, looked at Hua Yue and asked, "Are you sure? This villa looks bright, but inside it is shabby, the conditions are simple, and there is no place to go around. It is far less lively than Chang'an City."
Hua Yue replied: "No matter how busy Chang'an City is, if you are not at home, I can't go out. I can only stay in the wing, just like in a cage."
After hearing this, Zhou Jun felt that Hua Yue's words were correct.
Huayue said again: "If you stay here, even if you are not here, I can still talk to Yuping, so I won't be alone in a daze."
Zhou Jun thought for a while and asked Huayue: "I have wanted to ask you before. You are a big cannibal and you have never been to Chang'an, so why are you so fluent in Tang Dynasty Mandarin?"
Huayue: "I can speak nine languages. My father once paid a lot of money to hire a teacher in order to find someone to teach me Tang Mandarin."
"In addition to language, I also have a math teacher, a music teacher, a doctrine teacher, an astronomy teacher, and an alchemy teacher..."
Zhou Jun was shocked when he heard this. Does the daughter of a provincial governor of Dashi Country actually have to learn so many things?
Huayue: "When I was nine years old, my father sent me to the Great Mosque in Fuda City (Baghdad). Wise men from all over the world gathered there and tens of thousands of books were stored there."
"In the library there, thousands of eternal lamps are burning day and night; tens of thousands of scholars gather there to study academics all night long."
Zhou Jun sighed. From the books in his previous life, he probably knew something about the Arab world in the Middle Ages.
This independent country located on the Arabian Peninsula in western Asia began in the time of the Prophet, and was followed by the Umayyad dynasty, the Abbasid dynasty, the Fatimid dynasty, and the Ayyubid dynasty... This empire rose, developed, and prospered.
Decline and finally extinction, the whole process lasted for thousands of years.
Due to the suppression and slander of the Christian circle, many documents of the Arab Empire have not been preserved, and most of its achievements and achievements have been lost in the long river of history.
In Zhou Jun's previous life, when talking about the Arab Empire, the most common comment he heard was that it preserved the fire of civilization for the revival of Europe.
However, few people mention the strength and prosperity of the Arab Empire itself in the Middle Ages, as well as its academic contributions.
Huayue said to Zhou Jun again: "If you are willing, you can return to Dashi with me, and I can ask my father to give you a very prominent position."
Zhou Jun laughed, thinking that Hua Yue was joking.
He smiled and said: "I don't dare to think about things that are too far away. I'd better do my current job as a slave and do it well."
Huayue knew that Zhou Jun didn't believe it, so she glared at him and said nothing.
After a night.
Zhou Jun set off back to Chang'an first, while Hua Yue stayed at Bachuan Villa.
The first thing Zhou Jun did when he returned to Chang'an was to go home and find Zhou Dinghai.
In Zhou Jun's view, when it comes to hiring craftsmen and purchasing slave labels, it is definitely not wrong to ask a veteran slave tooth man like Zhou Dinghai.
Zhou Dinghai listened to Zhou Jun's words and asked in detail about the size, wall, soil quality and furniture of the residence to be repaired in Bachuan Villa.
Then, he immediately put down what he was doing and rode his horse to the workshop to find the familiar craftsman.
Zhou Jun, under his father's instruction, went to a horse and carriage shop and rented several large cars.
The father and son worked hard until noon. When they met again, Zhou Dinghai had already agreed on 18 craftsmen, all of whom were familiar with each other in the past.
The father and son got on the cart again, took the craftsman with them, and drove slowly north toward the Bachuan River.
When we arrived at the muddy path in Bachuan, fortunately Zhou Jun was prepared in advance and put wood under the wheels that he had already prepared, making it difficult for the cart to pass.
When the father and son took the craftsmen to Bachuan Villa, the sun had already set.
Zhou Dinghai helped the craftsmen carry the tools and materials, while Zhou Jun went to Zhongyuan first to report to Pang Gong.
Pang Gong was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Jun coming back.
In just one day's work, he not only found the craftsmen who repaired the house, but also brought them over. Zhou Jun's efficiency in doing things made Pang Gong very satisfied.
After the problem of repairing the house was solved, it was now time to add slaves and repave the roads.
The first step was to purchase slaves. Zhou Jun asked Pang Gong if he had any requirements for slaves.
Pang Gong himself did not have any special requirements. He only said that he must be honest, reliable, and hard-working. As for the details of age, gender, and origin, Zhou Jun decided on his own.
But when Zhou Jun turned around to leave, Pang Gong suddenly added.
"Most of the servants in our house are men, so you should pay more attention and make up for more women."
Zhou Jun was stunned by this request, but he didn't think much about it on the spot and just agreed.
Returning to the outer garden, Zhou Jun saw Zhou Dinghai who was busy arranging food and accommodation for the craftsmen.
Zhou Jun told him about Pang Gong's request to buy slaves. At first Zhou Dinghai didn't understand why Pang Zhonghe, an eunuch, emphasized buying more female dependents.
Later, when he saw Yuping spreading food around, Zhou Dinghai sighed: "Pang Gong is still very careful."
