"Are you all cooking so fast now? What are the people at the door looking at? Come in quickly and get it."
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had always disliked them for cooking too slowly. How come there are still people who dislike the speed of cooking? What on earth was the Duke thinking today?
This is indeed a famous restaurant in Beijing. Even if it is takeout, it is all packed in food boxes, and the exquisite tableware is used inside. You only need to throw it there after eating, and someone will naturally pick it up tomorrow.
Of course, there is no need to pay any deposit. After all, those who can afford to eat here are well-known in the capital. Of course, they cannot steal these tableware.
If there are a few damages, the hotel here will not pursue them. Although these tableware look very exquisite, they only cost three or two silver coins at most. They are not genuine and they have already been earned from the meal money.
"My lord, please walk slowly."
The shopkeeper and a few top stewards arrived at the door. This stooping down scared me a lot. It turned out that there was a prince sitting in the car. The prince had also come to have dinner before, so these people all knew each other, so they hurriedly got out.
Kneel down and say hello.
After getting the food, Gao Shaoyi drove all the way to Uncle Guo's Mansion. Thinking about it, nearly half an hour has passed now. If you still can't sort it out, it's because the people under him are not doing well. I can fight for you.
There is only so much time. If we continue to delay, the food will probably get cold.
The cooks in Uncle Guo's house have all been dismissed, and Gao Shaoyi doesn't want to eat cold dishes.
"Uncle is here."
Gao Shaoyi drove the car in through the side door. There are some side doors in Shenzhen compound that are relatively large and have no steps.
Prince Ding opened his eyes, and Gao Shaoyi had already opened the car door. Prince Ding was still very satisfied with his nephew's filial piety. Even though he was now the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of people, facing his own uncle,
What you should do is not bad at all, and it is hard for people to find fault with you.
"I have long heard that my uncle's palace is as powerful as the royal palace. Today, when I see it, it truly lives up to its reputation."
Although many places in front of us are blocked by buildings and it is dark, we can still see the luxury here.
Gao Shaoyi didn't touch many things in the yard. After all, he would live here in the future. What he took away were some of the luxurious furnishings in the house, so it looked the same from the outside.
Gao Shaoyi smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer the question. After all, this place would be his home from now on. The emperor's imperial edict didn't say it clearly, but it was implicitly stated that this place would be the Duke of Qin's mansion from now on.
After all, Prince Ding was born in Tianjia. Even though this place is magnificent, Prince Ding has already seen it before. Today I want to have a meal with Gao Shaoyi, not to visit this place, but to find a secluded place.
It's a great place, considering that there are people from both families, and there are only a few servants left here besides the two of them, it's indeed a good place for conversation.
Prince Ding walked directly to the living room. The surrounding soldiers of the Anti-Capital Army had already withdrawn. At first glance, the living room looked the same as before, but the luxurious furnishings in the room had been replaced, and most of them were fakes.
"It's good to be diligent and frugal in running the household, but don't wrong your wife and sister too much."
Prince Ding could tell at a glance that the antiques and expensive ornaments were there. Although the place looked pretty good to outsiders, Prince Ding could tell at a glance that the total of everything in the house would not exceed three thousand silver coins.
Prince Ding doesn’t like a luxurious life either, but the total items in Prince Ding’s study are nearly tens of thousands of silver coins, which is already very simple in the capital. If you look at the things in Prince Kang’s study
At a glance, it would be more than hundreds of thousands of silver coins.
Of course, Gao Shaoyi's original family was not bad, but Gao Shaoyi was a prodigal. Today he lost a few hundred silver coins here, and tomorrow he lost a few thousand silver coins there, and it cost tens of thousands of silver coins to find a girl with a red card, so his family was considered to be rich in gold and silver.
That would have been a long time ago.
This also brings up the scene of why he sold his house to live after being reborn...
Prince Ding didn't like Gao Shaoyi's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling in the past, but now that the decorations in the house have become like this, Prince Ding also feels that Gao Shaoyi has gone too far, even for a small noble family.
Looks like there are fakes everywhere.
"My nephew knows, but now there are still troops to suppress the captives below, and the government's allocation is not so timely. My nephew is responsible for many places by himself, and now he has to lead the army south, so there are many holes, so it is better to save a little."
People outside don't know that Gao Shaoyi has a system, and they certainly don't know that most things can be exchanged in the system, so they all think that the cost of suppressing the captive army is not small.
What Gao Shaoyi said now confirms this point. Hundreds of thousands of troops eat, drink, and eat every day, plus various military trainings, and the daily expenses will be an astronomical figure. Gao Shaoyi can make sense when he says this.
Of course, Prince Ding did not want to continue talking on this topic, because it was he who gave the order to severely deduct the salary of the suppressing army.
To be more precise, it was ordered by the emperor of the Daqian Empire that only 40% of the troops under the command of the whole country could be commanded by the imperial court. These 40% of the troops can receive full funding. As for other armies, some can
Some get 70%, some get 40%, some even get only 10%, and some armies don't get even a dime.
It all depends on the degree of loyalty to the court.
Take the current Suppression Army as an example. It can only get 60% of the funding from the imperial court, which is pretty good among all local armies. However, the imperial court allocates two silver coins per soldier per month.
, and part of it was still in arrears, so Gao Shaoyi didn't count on the money much.
"Ask someone to put the food on the table. Let's talk while we eat."
After Prince Ding finished speaking, the servants outside filed in. These people were all summoned temporarily, and they were all wearing servants' clothes. There were also several beautiful maids brought by Prince Ding himself.
Gao Shaoyi also breathed a sigh of relief. If the soldiers of the Suppression Army in military uniforms came to buy this face wash, he would feel weird. The dinner between the two of them was about to start. Gao Shaoyi didn't know that this uncle wanted to
