Chapter 1,174: The Empress Provincial Proposal, a separate courtyard was built outside the city
Emperor Longqing made more and more small moves.
Changing the commander of Shenji Camp is just a small and inconspicuous step.
With the start of the imperial inspection, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, and the local feudal officials, as long as they were conservatives who favored the Supreme Emperor, would be removed from their original positions by Emperor Longqing using various means.
The Supreme Emperor is already nearly seventy years old. He spends most of his time hiding in the East Palace to receive blessings. He can only turn a blind eye to the emperor's tossing and let it go.
It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
The Imperial College has a long holiday and school will resume after the Lantern Festival.
Students like Su Mingzhe who are going to take the entrance examination in February do not need to go back to school.
Returning to Rongguo Mansion, Su Mingzhe found many strangers in the mansion and asked:
"Why are there suddenly so many servants in the house? Is there any happy event?"
Originally there were three to four hundred slaves in the Rongguo Mansion, but after last year's "hoeing of women", there were only two hundred, forty and fifty people left.
Throwing out the slaves belonging to each house, there were about a hundred people distributed in various places.
However, along the way just now, Su Mingzhe clearly noticed that the number of slaves in the house had exceeded at least three hundred, and even approached the four hundred mark.
Mingyan, who was carrying her luggage, replied with a smile:
"Second Master, I'm afraid you don't know that the Emperor has agreed to allow the ladies in the palace to go home to visit the bride, and our family has also begun to prepare to build a residence for the bride to welcome the eldest lady back!"
"Provincial Qin's Villa..."
Su Mingzhe sighed slightly:
"When I was in the Imperial College, I also heard people say that the emperor and the emperor felt sorry for the concubines in the palace who had been separated from their families for a long time, so they issued a grace decree to allow the queens to return to their hometowns to visit their relatives. But I also heard that other My mother-in-law’s family all built provincial villas outside the city, so why did our family build a villa in our own home?”
Mingyan was just a young man, so he didn't know there were so many people. He shook his head and said he didn't know the details.
Su Mingzhe took a bath and changed clothes, then came to the backyard to greet Mother Jia and asked about the provincial residence.
Without waiting for Jia Mu to answer, Mrs. Xing, who was greeting Mrs. Xing, smiled and said directly:
"Baoyu, you just don't know. Who are the families who built the Provincial Courtyard outside the city? They are all the nouveau riche who have only risen in recent years, local rich people. Since our Jia Mansion wants to build the Provincial Courtyard, It must be built near Rongning Street! Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that we would be in the company of those nouveau riche and wealthy locals?”
After hearing Mrs. Xing's explanation, Su Mingzhe wanted to roll his eyes.
Not to mention anything else, just the three to four hundred acres of land near Rongning Street near the Imperial City cannot be acquired without one or two hundred thousand taels of silver.
If other various expenses are added, the guarantee will cost 500,000 taels of silver.
On the other hand, if you want to build a courtyard for provincial relatives outside the city, you may need 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver to build a courtyard of similar specifications.
Because other expenses are being constructed outside the city, the cost can also be reduced and controlled within 200,000 taels of silver.
The masters of the Rongguo Mansion simply let three hundred thousand taels of silver go down the drain in order to "show off their wealth."
As a person determined to rebel, Su Mingzhe would never allow such a thing to happen.
In his opinion, every tael of silver in the Jia family should be used wisely instead of wasted on extravagant life.
Not long after, Jia Zheng came to pay his respects to Jia's mother.
Su Mingzhe followed Jia Zheng to the Hall of Rongxi and expressed his thoughts:
"Father, our family has just experienced a catastrophe and the house is empty. It would be unworthy to waste hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just to show off our wealth!"
Jia Zheng had a soft ear. After listening to his son's words, he felt that they were reasonable, but he hesitated and said:
"However, your grandmother also agreed to build the provincial residence at home!"
Jia Zheng is a filial son, and he will definitely try his best to satisfy Jia's mother's request.
"Father, you can advise grandma like this!"
Su Mingzhe came to his father and whispered something in a low voice.
Jia Zheng suddenly beamed:
"Ying'er, it's hard for you to think so thoughtfully!"
"In this case, as a father tomorrow, I will go and persuade your grandmother!"
When Su Mingzhe saw that Jia Zheng agreed with his reasons, he immediately left with a smile.
Back in the backyard.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang who had just said hello had left, leaving only Li Wan preparing the dishes, and Sanchun and Sister Lin who were having dinner together.
Had dinner.
Su Mingzhe chatted with Jia Mu for a while, and when Jia Mu felt sleepy, he accompanied Sister Lin to the Bisha Cupboard to play.
As soon as the maid left, Su Mingzhe hugged Sister Lin in his arms.
Due to the cold weather, Sister Lin was wearing a lot of clothes. Although she was soft and fragrant in her arms, it didn't feel good to the touch.
Su Mingzhe hugged her for a while, then took Sister Lin to lie down on the bed.
Knowing what men like, Sister Lin took off her coat, leaving only the thin coat underneath.
After the two of them lay on the bed, Sister Lin curled up in the man's arms and let him hold her.
Seeing that her face was white and rosy, and her body had a strange smell, Su Mingzhe hugged her for a while, but he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Second brother, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Sister Lin sensed something strange about the man, and immediately looked at him with a troubled expression. She really didn't want to drive the man away, but the man disrespected her too much.
"Just a moment, my good Yu'er, just a moment!"
Su Mingzhe said nonsense that no one would believe, hugged Sister Lin tightly in his arms, and continued to do little tricks.
I don't know how long it took.
The purple cuckoo outside suddenly shouted:
"Second Master, it's almost Haishi. My girl is weak and it's time to rest."
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe could only reluctantly let go of Sister Lin and said goodbye to her.
In fact, after more than a year of raising her, Sister Lin's body is not as healthy as Sister Sanchun's, but she doesn't get sick easily.
After the man left, Zicuckoo and Xueyan checked the doors and windows and prepared to blow out the candles and go to sleep.
Sister Lin suddenly called Zicuckoo, and after muttering a few words, Zicuckoo was so angry that she gritted her two rows of silver teeth.
After a while, Zicuckoo still couldn't calm down her anger:
"Girl, didn't I tell you? If the second master dares to bully you like this, you must call me!"
Sister Lin was reprimanded by her maid and did not dare to speak. She could only say calmly and ask Zicuckoo to keep her voice down.
Seeing that her master's soft temper was no different from that of Yingchun, Zicuckoo also had no place to express her anger, so she could only sigh:
"Girl, you are being bullied by the second master now. When you get married, won't you be manipulated to death by him?"
Zicuckoo's worries are truly justified.
However, in matters between husband and wife, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
The relationship between Sister Lin and Su Mingzhe was destined in the past life. It is difficult for ordinary people to separate the two.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Jia Zheng first used Su Mingzhe's reasons to convince his wife, and then together he convinced Jia's mother.
In fact, in the entire Rongguo Mansion, only a few people, including Jia She and Mrs. Xing, wanted to build a provincial residence on Rongning Street.
When Jia Mu agreed to select a site outside the city to build a provincial residence, no matter how much these people wanted to object, they would naturally be unable to do anything.
When Su Mingzhe learned that the provincial residence was going to be built outside the city, he immediately took Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and others out of the city to look for a place.
Others may need to consider it for ten days and a half, but Su Mingzhe took the people on horseback and found a good place with a hot spring.
As for the construction plan, Jia Zheng also worked as a foreign minister at the Ministry of Industry for several years, and he knew some skilled craftsmen.
Su Mingzhe sent someone to invite him personally, and then they polished the drawings together.
Before the Spring Festival, all the blueprints and construction drawings of the future provincial residence have been drawn up.
After finishing the preliminary work, Su Mingzhe still worried about issues such as raw material supply, but was scolded by Jia Zheng.
After the Chinese New Year, Jia Zheng asked his son to start studying behind closed doors in preparation for taking the exam.
