I stayed at home for three days in a row, experiencing all the tenderness, tenderness and consideration, and soothed the harem.
Holding her waist, Zhu Yixi took advantage of the fine weather and moved to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The current Yu Prince's Mansion is only a county prince's palace, and it is too far away from the three departments of the shogunate (Military and Political Department, Staff Department, and Transportation Department), and is not in line with the current situation.
"Your Highness, according to your instructions, Xiangyang Mansion has been undergoing minor repairs for a while, and it barely meets your status."
The Minister of Admission, Feng Zhengyang Le, carefully led the way and said with a respectful smile: "Prince Xiang's Mansion is still too small. I have wronged you."
"For the sake of Ming Dynasty, a little grievance is nothing."
Zhu Yixi shook her head and said casually.
Although he said it was aggrieved, the entire Prince Xiang's Mansion occupied one-fifth of Xiangyang City. Even if part of it was assigned to the Third Division, it was still huge.
According to the specifications, it is about 500 acres.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of princes and hundreds of princes spent a lot of money on the people, which is difficult to measure.
Who says the imperial court has no money? It’s just that it’s not in the right place.
The three main halls of the Prince's Palace, Chengyun Hall, Wan Hall and Cunxin Hall, are where you can go to court and have an audience, just like a small court.
Zhu Yixi tried the throne, not to mention, it was quite comfortable.
"Your Highness, Xiangyang City has been quite peaceful in the past few months."
Yang Le was in charge of the Chengcheng Department and secretly monitored the entire Xiangyang City. He carefully reported:
"However, there is Zhang Wencheng in the Military and Political Department. His situation is a bit special."
"How do you say it?" Zhu Yixi said casually.
He touched the gilded throne and looked up at the dragon pillars in the palace. All these were no different from those in Prince Qin's palace.
That's right, the people who built the palace were all the people from the Ministry of Industry, and the specifications were there. It was just repeated construction.
"He was born as a servant, and his master was Zhang Shenyan, the former Minister of Civil Affairs."
"Zhang Shenyan?"
Zhu Yixi was stunned for a moment, rather surprised: "How can his servant get to the Military and Political Department?"
"Your recruitment order has recruited people from the past."
Yang Le looked at King Yu's face and said softly: "He is quite talented, and the Military and Political Secretary can use him easily."
"So, Zhang Shenyan is also in Xiangyang?"
The king of Yu became interested.
"You guessed it right!"
Yang Le hurriedly said: "According to the investigation, I arrived in Xiangyang as early as last year and have been settled for half a year now."
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Zhu Yixi was happy.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who had been squeezed out of the Nanjing imperial court, came to Xiangyang under his rule and settled there for half a year. His servants joined the Military and Political Department.
Is this to spy on military intelligence, or is there another reason?
No matter what it is, it still needs to be clarified.
"Don't alert the enemy!"
King Yu said casually: "After all, he is the official minister, so don't disturb him."
The Donglin Party members are an interest alliance, which can also be said to be the local township party, Qingliu Gathering.
There are many different types of people there, some are talented and some are hypocrites, so it cannot be generalized.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are actually the same thing. They are both dirty parts of the literati group, and their essence must be extracted and used.
Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also selected members of the Donglin Party, and they were able to rule. It did not depend on the people, but on the party struggle.
"Party fight, party fight!"
After muttering a few words, Zhu Yixi's face straightened.
Even if it is Zhang Shenyan, he feels he is qualified to control him.
Party strife is the only thing that makes people fearful.
However, differences in interests naturally lead to party strife, which cannot be eliminated.
Sooner or later you have to face it, you can't avoid it.
Therefore, you still have to be cautious and be cautious when controlling the officials.
…
When the army returned, Xiangyang City became more and more noisy.
The soldiers who returned home with a full load, carrying the land deed and the gold and silver rewards, returned home happily.
The army has a five-day holiday, which greatly stimulates consumption.
Jia Yan was walking on the road with a bulging bag, carrying two big fat fish in his left hand and two pounds of pork in his right hand. This was a belated New Year reward.
Such extravagance made the children on the roadside stare blankly, and pedestrians also looked sideways, pointing, with envy on their faces.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu treats these big-headed soldiers very well!"
"That's right, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there are rewards during the holidays!"
"If you win battles every day, you will get more food and pay, tsk tsk tsk -"
Listening to the admiration of passers-by, Jia Yan's vanity was greatly satisfied. He held his head high and became more and more proud.
"father!"
Returning to the courtyard, the dirty cheap son immediately came to greet him, staring at the pork with his little eyes.
"Take it!"
Jia Yan laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you just know how to eat."
The father and son returned home happily.
The mother-in-law ran out wearing an apron, hurriedly carried the meat and fish into the kitchen, and then stared at him with her eyes wide open.
"What do you want me to do?" Jia Yanqi asked.
"Where's the salary?" My mother-in-law directly stretched out her hand and asked.
"Here you go!" Jia Yan took out a few silver coins from his arms, and then took out a few paper tickets.
Colorful and colorful, with many textures.
"This thing is called military stamps."
After that, he simply said: "His Royal Highness has established a bank in the city. From now on, you can go directly with the military coupons, state my name, take the military coupons, and the person inside will sign and seal it."
"Once you receive it, the military stamp will be stamped and signed."
"You can get my salary."
"Bank? Military coupons?" The mother-in-law said confusedly: "You can get the money even if you are not here?"
"That's right!" As he said that, he took out another wooden sign and said, "You have to take this thing with the bank, the military coupons, and the wooden sign. All of them are indispensable."
"From now on, my pension will also be included!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" He firmly remembered in his heart that the mother-in-law was as tender as water.
"Let's eat!" Jia Yan waved his hand.
It’s the same braised pork again, but the dog never gets tired of it.
The sound of father and mother fighting could be heard next to my ears. The dog was immersed in eating, his mouth and face were all oily.
This feeling is so good, I will also be a soldier in the future and eat meat every day.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of fighting stopped, and the couple’s voices came:
"You can't live in this courtyard. It's a mess. We need to move it to a better place."
"Where to go?" the woman gasped.
"Go to the west of the city. The army said that His Highness the King of Yu will build a school there. By then, dogs will be able to study."
"Shu Xiu. Studying is very expensive." The woman was surprised and hesitant.
"The elementary school run by His Highness is very cheap for us soldiers."
"I want to study-"
When Gouzi heard this, he vomited out the fat and turned around and shouted.
"I'm going to study and see my husband!"
"You bastard, you still know what's good and bad."
Jia Yan laughed and cursed, and the words came from inside: "Remember, don't be naughty. If you fail to pass the exam in the future, I will skin you."
Immediately, the woman pulled her up again and murmured tenderly: "Master, let him eat outside while we make our own..."
Bang bang bang——
Half an hour later, Jia Yan came out of the room feeling refreshed and continued to eat the remaining food in his stomach.
After holding it in for several months, women become extremely powerful.
"Reading!"
Looking at his cheap son warming himself by the fire, Jia Yan shook his head: "I'm really going to have a son."
