Chapter 372 The Protector Enters the Capital

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After the house sale case occurred, many days passed before the palace issued an order and announced the results.

Zhou Jun, the consort, was careless in his work and made a mistake while busy. He mistakenly recorded the deed and house receipt, and redeemed three pounds of copper.

Tai Fu Qing Yang Zhao found out in time that he should be rewarded for his merits. The saint named him "Guozhong" to show his loyalty.

When they first saw the results of this process, all the officials in the court were shocked.

Zhou Jun coveted ten of His Majesty's houses, worth tens of thousands of dollars, and he managed to deal with it with the lame excuse of making a mistake while busy.

A punishment like redeeming three pounds of copper is simply insignificant. For a wealthy family, it is not even enough to pay for a meal.

As for Yang Zhao, the reward he received for such meritorious service was also strange. He was named by a saint.

All the officials discussed until the end and unanimously came to a conclusion.

In Chang'an City, today's new aristocrat is no longer the Yang family behind the imperial concubine, but the consort Zhou Jun who advises His Majesty.

Even the serious crime of embezzling palace property, His Majesty was able to turn it into a big thing and turn it into a trivial matter. You can imagine how Zhou Jun received the holy family.

On the other side, Zhou Jun, as a party involved, had no time to pay attention to the discussions between the DPRK and China.

In recent days, he has been staying in Ansheng Garden, handling various matters regarding residents entering the hospital.

From the purchase of a house to the arrangement of legal services, since no one in the Tang Dynasty had ever been exposed to the marketing and property models of later generations of real estate, Zhou Jun could only teach them step by step.

As more and more homes entered the park, Zhou Jun gradually learned about the composition and origin of these buyers.

Among them, nobles are one category; officials are another category; wealthy businessmen and gentry are the last category.

Different from the first-come, first-served system when buying a house in later generations, when Anshengyuan was sold, although the location was also marked, it was only a general positioning, and certain adjustments would be made later based on the identity of the buyer.

For example, if a businessman has a low status, most officials would not want to be neighbors with him; and if a noble has a special status, he must naturally be isolated from other people.

As a result, the more than 160 houses in Anshengyuan have undergone some regional adjustments based on their identity and status.

After finishing the arrangement of the house, Zhou Jun began to arrange the work of the officials.

The cooking staff is quite simple.

Zhou Jun transferred many palace maids and cooks from Bachuan Market and Villas who knew how to cook, and then taught them some new dishes. Finally, he found some bright-minded women from the refugees to help him.

Most of the residents who enter the park have tasted the cooking techniques of market restaurants and have already praised the cooking. Now that they can eat different dishes for free every day, they are naturally overjoyed.

It is not difficult to consult a doctor and see a doctor.

Zhou Jun first asked Fan Jinian for help and invited many palace doctors, and then asked them to be responsible for screening and checking, selecting those who were proficient in medical skills among the palace people and refugees, and finally formed the Shang Medical Department.

For the residents who entered the courtyard, a wooden pole about ten feet high was erected in the front yard of each house.

If someone in the family is seriously ill, all you need to do is hang a red light on the top of a wooden pole. Within a quarter of an hour, a doctor will arrive in a carriage for consultation.

As for Anshengyuan's Three Hundred Steps, Sun Aying was responsible for training, and Luo Anyuan commanded them.

Since it is under the supervision of the Habayashi Army, there are many armors, war horses, crossbows, swords, etc., and from the day the park opened, it has been responsible for the peripheral security work.

As for the remaining ceremonial services such as helping farmers, giving gifts, craftsmanship, etc., the residents also gave praise after receiving the service.

After the original free trial period ended, all residents paid the full fee to the house and decided to continue to hire these housekeepers to take care of the daily life of the house.

Since then, the operation of Anshengyuan has finally been on the right track. While Zhou Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally able to focus on other things.

On this day, Zhou Jun, accompanied by the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, entered the Dali Temple Prison.

Along the dim corridor, Zhou Jun stepped into the innermost cell area and looked at the man sitting with his back to the cell door. He had mixed feelings for a moment.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple directed the jailer to open the cell door, then raised his hand to Zhou Jun and said, "Prince-in-law, please step aside first. If you have anything to do, please call me." Zhou Jun nodded.

After the Prime Minister of Dali Temple had gone away, the man sitting in the prison whispered: "It is a great joy that Zhou Lang became the consort, but it is a pity that at the moment, Mr. Li really can't come up with the gifts."

Zhou Jun winked at the jailer, who then left knowingly.

Then, Zhou Jun stepped into the cell door and asked the man: "General Li, have you ever regretted it?"

The man turned around and looked at Zhou Jun with a smile on his face: "Erlang asked, why are you exactly like that brother Shu Han? Listen carefully, Guangbi has never had any regrets from beginning to end."

Zhou Jun sighed, sat down slowly, and said: "I have inquired about it. Your crime can be serious or minor. The key lies in how you defend yourself."

Li Guangbi: "Guangbi is straightforward and cannot say anything that goes against his will."

Zhou Jun frowned and asked, "Don't you want to go out early?"

Li Guangbi: "On the way to Chang'an, I thought that the palace would give Guangbi a lighter sentence out of consideration for the Liucheng family's affection. Later, an expert clarified my doubts. The Li family is now very popular because of many things.

He is not popular in the court, and many political opponents are worried that they will not be able to catch him... Now, for the clan, it is safer for Guangbi to stay in prison than to go out."

Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "I have a long-standing relationship with the palace, and I can help you make a difference..."

Li Guangbi stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Jun: "Erlang's ability to say this is tantamount to providing help in times of need. Guangbi is grateful, but you can't do this."

Zhou Jun: "Why?"

Li Guangbi: "If Erlang intercedes for Guangbi, there is no guarantee that he will not arouse the suspicion of interested people. These are troubled times, and any movement is worse than silence. Any disturbance may cause unnecessary trouble."

Zhou Jun understood in his heart what the "trouble" Li Guangbi meant.

Because of his work on Daqi Commercial Road and house sales, he gained the appreciation of Li Longji. It was widely spread in the court that he was a holy family member, and he was in the limelight for a while.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Linfu naturally feels evil and is always looking for opportunities to retaliate.

At present, Li Guangbi may be right, it is better to be still than to move, and it is better to be cautious in everything.

Seeing Zhou Jun's silence, Li Guangbi comforted the latter and said: "When the limelight passes, the saint calms down, and Guangbi is pardoned, he can go out. Erlang, don't worry."

When Zhou Jun heard this, he nodded slightly and stopped trying to persuade him.

After meeting Li Guangbi, Zhou Jun returned to Bachuan Villa with his heart full of worries.

Yin Yu was in the backyard, talking with Song Ruo'e and Xie Qin about the new play.

Seeing Zhou Jun's return, Yin Yu stood up with a smile, came up to him and said, "Erlang is finally back."

Zhou Jun first looked at Yin Yu, then at Song Ruo'e and Xie Qin, and finally asked: "What? But what happened?"

Yin Yu: "A messenger just came from the palace, saying that there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow, and we, husband and wife, will be invited to the banquet."

Zhou Jun responded first, and then asked: "Why is the banquet prepared in the palace?"

Yin Yu: "I heard that the border troops won two battles, and my father wanted to hold a banquet to honor the two heroes."

Zhou Jun: "Two wins?"

Yin Yu: "One of them is Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi. I heard that he defeated the Jieshi Kingdom and captured the king of Shi Kingdom."

Zhou Jun stopped his movements, turned around and asked: "Gao Xianzhi captured the King of Stone Kingdom?"

Yin Yu nodded.

Zhou Jun secretly thought that he had discussed the situation in Anxi with Feng Changqing before, and said that now was not the time to tamper with the Nine Names of Zhaowu. Feng Changqing said at that time that he would report it to Gaodu Guardian, but it seemed that Gao Xianzhi did not listen at all.

Zhou Jun asked Yin Yu: "Is there another person?"

Speaking of the other person, Yin Yu couldn't help but laugh and said: "The other person is the fat man who can dance."

Zhou Jun's eyes tightened and he asked in a deep voice: "An Lushan? Is he going to Beijing too?"
