"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."
Eunuch Su stood in the center and began to read out some things from the imperial edict. Gao Shaoyi listened with interest at this time. You must know that the highest title in Gao Shaoyi's family is a marquis, which originally belonged to Gao Shaoyi's father and the Duke of Guo.
Gao Shaoyi really didn't know some situations.
There will naturally be no shortage of houses and fields.
In addition to the Duke's mansion, there are two farmsteads outside the city, with a total area of 12,000 acres, and a summer retreat, all of which were built according to the specifications of the Duke.
Next are one thousand gold coins and ten thousand silver coins.
There is nothing to say about this. The imperial court also has its own rules and regulations. Although the Duke's title is very high, the gold and silver rewarded are in accordance with the regulations in the early years of the dynasty. At that time, the money was not a small amount, but nowadays
In this era, it is nothing in the homes of dignitaries.
The third one is the security of the Duke's Mansion.
The title of Duke can be said to be a watershed. Once you reach this title, you will have imperial guards given by the emperor, and you will be responsible for all the following titles.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a fake. Take a palace as an example, what is the use of dozens of imperial guards? Just opening the door is probably not enough, let alone a palace of a prince. According to the imperial edict,
, a total of twelve royal guards were given, purely for appearance.
Of course, these imperial guards are all of high rank. Everything in the capital is based on status. If your servant is just an ordinary servant, you will not have the confidence to walk on the street. But if you do something
If these imperial guards are allowed to do all the chores, will it improve their performance a lot?
The last one is the rewarded slave.
There are ten maids, four nuns, and twenty servants.
All of these people are family members of prisoners, or they were bought by the government from other places. Anyway, there are them in every household. After arriving at this house, they will be sold out.
Gao Shaoyi glanced at the ten maids standing next to him. They all looked dignified, but they were all older. They said they were gifted from above, and they should be disposing of a batch of unused items in the palace. Gao Shaoyi also heard that before
However, can you hold a really good one?
"Shaoyi..."
Gao Shaoyi had just received the imperial edict and was about to go to the back. Then he heard someone calling him next to him, which was strange. Although this was a nickname, no one had called him this since Gao Shaoyi was reborn.
Generally speaking, the elders address the younger ones, but apart from the elder sister, there are no other elders in Hongxuefu. Where did this person come from? Gao Shaoyi raised his head and glanced. He was about fifty years old, with a lot of people behind him.
Followed by some other people, since these people can come to the Duke's Mansion, it means they should be relatives of the family.
But these relatives at home are nothing. Gao Shaoyi used to ask for help when he was in trouble, but all these people kept the door tightly closed. No one was willing to help Gao Shaoyi. Now he probably wants to fight against the autumn wind.
"Young Master, this is the second oldest son of our Gao family. He is also the most senior person in the Gao family. He is also your great-grandfather's younger brother..."
When the butler saw that Gao Shaoyi did not recognize this person, he immediately came up to explain.
Second old man?
Gao Shaoyi already had this person in his mind.
"Did you let these idle people in?"
Gao Shaoyi's voice immediately turned cold. It should have been a very happy thing to accept so many rewards from the emperor, but now after seeing this second old man, Gao Shaoyi's face lost much luster.
"Slave deserves to die..."
Although the butler didn't understand what was going on, he quickly knelt down in front of Gao Shaoyi. He had known for a long time that Gao Shaoyi had a bad relationship with the Gao family, but with so many people at the door looking at him, he couldn't be kicked out directly. If
If we do this, it will have an impact on our young master's reputation.
Gao Shaoyi looked at the people at the door and immediately knew what the big housekeeper was thinking. He couldn't blame the big housekeeper for this matter. Although the big housekeeper was very prestigious at home, the second old man was the elder of the Gao family after all.
, it is not a good thing for a slave to point fingers at his elders.
"I promise you that this time, next time no one from their family can be let in. If anyone dares to force their way in, then ask the person who opened the door to break their legs."
Gao Shaoyi said a word and walked into the house. It was not that he was cruel, but that he had nothing to do with these people for a long time. When he went to borrow money from them, the doors were closed and he even spread rumors on the street.
Slandered Gao Shaoyi.
How did these people become prosperous? It wasn't because of Gao Shaoyi's father. If Gao Shaoyi's father hadn't taken care of them, these people probably wouldn't know which corner they were farming in. After Gao Shaoyi's family fell into decline, these people
People are eager to establish a clear relationship with Gao Shaoyi. Now that he has been granted the title of Duke, and they are running away one by one, I have no idea of acknowledging my ancestor and returning to the clan.
If you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you are not good to me, then I will kill you directly.
"Gao Shaoyi...you have simply betrayed your ancestors..."
After hearing what Gao Shaoyi said, the second old man was so angry that his whole body trembled. In the thoughts of these trash relatives, the current Gao Shaoyi could be tied up with family affection.
"Call me by name, insult the nobles of the imperial court, and send me to Shuntian Mansion."
Gao Shaoyi didn't even look back and walked directly into the house. When Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers from the anti-lundering army rushed in at the door. What the Duke of Guo said just now was clear, not to mention
You old man is looking for death, so don't blame us for being evil.
The remaining people still wanted to curse, but seeing the soldiers around them suddenly unable to curse, the second old man was about to be sent to Shuntian Mansion, not to mention these people, they had to be beaten alive by these people in front of them.
die.
"Evil beast..."
As soon as the second old man said these words, the infantry squad leader who opened the door next to him looked at him and a soldier came up and slapped him.
Who do you think you are, that you dare to say such things to our father-in-law?
If you weren't older, I would kill you right now.
The butler also wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the young master was aware of everything and knew that he had no choice but to do this. If there was a next time, I am afraid that he would really hit the muzzle of the gun...
