Chapter 12: Three Years
In this palace, a new life begins.
Those who chose to leave were fortunate not to have to be sold into slavery because they couldn't afford to eat.
And those who choose to stay in the palace are even luckier, because they can basically say that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the second half of their lives.
Wang Yan's mother and Aunt Li were arranged to do chores in the kitchen of the palace, while Wang Yan and Xiangxiang helped to do the chores they could every day.
It's not too hard to work every day, boiling water, hugging firewood, poking the stove and so on.
Wang Yan never dreamed that he would be able to see the kang again in his lifetime.
Speaking of the fire kang, many Northeast people have different feelings for this fire kang in their hearts.
Wang Yan's family has never slept since he moved to the building when he was ten years old, and sleeping on the kang is still good for his health.
Now life has become very regular, get up in the morning and go to the front yard to read the sister paper, estimate that the time is almost noon and go to the back kitchen to help, get firewood or something.
Then, when I was done, I went to the front yard in the afternoon to watch the girls practice.
Not to mention, these little girls are really better looking than the other.
And Aunt Chen lived a shameless life with the prince, although they lived together, but they did not finish all the things that should be done.
After all, the pain of losing a child is still ......
Although the two have no name now, Mrs. Chen made a three-year agreement with the prince, and married herself into the door three years later, the first is to give an explanation to her ex-husband and his two children, and the second is to give both parties a very full run-in period.
Three years have passed.
Redstone is to the west of the new country, backed by neighboring countries. It is a town riding on the border, but due to the fact that several windy towns in the west have been destroyed by sandstorms in recent years, many refugees have fled in Redstone Town at this time. The trade routes opened up by the East and the West in the past are gradually showing signs of decline.
In recent years, the new country has built a large port near the border coastline, and several large cities along the coast, and it is said that the ports to the Western Regions have been connected.
The economic center of the whole new country has gradually shifted from the center of the country to the coastal zone.
With the country's foreign trade has a stable income, for a bitter cold place like Redstone Town, which is located on the frontier, it has been exempted from taxes for two years, although there are fewer merchants, but ordinary people can live quite well.
And the scenery of this place is not bad, occasionally some big people will choose to build a manor here, when the official business is not busy, come here for a holiday, come to visit the prince class, contact the relationship or something, but because it is too far away from the capital, so there are not many officials who can really stay here for a vacation.
The official from the capital is even more unique, the king of Zhenxi, Wang Zhen, the prince.
Wang Yan, who has lived in Hongshi Town for three years, has also found some changes, many buyers and sellers in the city have closed, more than half of the Qinglou wine shop has been emptied, and there are only one or two prostitutes that can still open the door, and there are not many businessmen who enter the city every day, but there are many more refugees.
"Those who can escape from the west are all the creations cultivated in the previous life. ”
As soon as the refugees poured in, the palace arranged for the stewards to set up porridge shops at various street corners in Hongshi Town and open warehouses to store grain.
The former county magistrate was appointed to take the lead.
It can be said that three years ago, his party was able to come to the palace, all thanks to Chen Conflict Chen Auntie, and even a gangster on the street could be photographed by the prince, and his luck was really good.
Zhang Dacai is a treasure that the prince accidentally picked up, after all, it is rare to see people who have served as five county magistrates in the same place, if this is in the new country, someone can serve as five county magistrates in the same place in a row, then there is really no other way except for the local people to jointly write a letter to move the saint.
When the term of office of the former county magistrate Zhang arrived, he was transferred elsewhere, and the prince wrote to recommend Zhang Dacai as the next county magistrate, and the emperor saw that this Zhang Dacai's qualifications actually served as five county magistrates in the same county, which is really a rare talent, and the prince's evaluation of him is not bad, so he agreed.
It is too troublesome to transfer officials for a three-year term, and the transfer of local officials even takes about half a year.
The promotion and appointment system of officials in the new country is roughly divided into three types, the first is that the unified examination is similar to the imperial examination in the previous life, the second is the hereditary title of official, and the third is the system of recommendation and probation of officials.
Of course, this probation system is not something that every official can recommend talents.
The first level should be sufficient, and the second level should be sufficient. If you can't meet these two points, if you are a prince, you can also nominate others to be officials.
It's not easy to be an official.
How many champions of this department have lived to death and have not been able to exceed the seventh rank.
It's not that if you get a top spot in the imperial examination, you will be amazing, and you can be regarded as the first college student who has done all the work.
Zhang Dacai's official position has come down, and he is from the seventh grade.
If they are admitted to the normal imperial examination, the officials at the county and town level are all of the seventh grade, while those who are recommended like Zhang Dacai are all demoted by half a rank according to the law officials.
This is already very good, Zhang Dacai is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he is secretly determined to repay the prince for his kindness.
On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the king of Zhenxi and Mrs. Chen were enjoying the drinks in the wine jar in the backyard pavilion.
Just looking at the dense wine jars, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little numb.
If you pull these two goods to take a blood test, you will learn to have half a tube of alcohol by taking a tube.
In the past three years, Wang Yan has had a very good relationship with the prince, and even dragged Wang Yan over for a drink when he had nothing to do.
How old is Wang Yan, he is only six years old this year, and at the age of six, he has to carry a wine jar to fight with others?
The prince liked this child very much, and even wanted to accept him as his adopted son more than once, but after learning about it, Wang Yan hurriedly refused.
"Lord Wang, you are confused, you don't have a son now, if you really want to recognize me as a righteous son, wouldn't you recognize your side...... Can't you?"
I don't know how much the prince and Mrs. Chen drank, this prince is looking at it, his face is flushed, the whole person is drunk, Mrs. Chen who is standing on the side is indeed very sober, while holding the wine jar while coming over to drag the drunk prince who is like a dead pig to continue drinking.
Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly ordered someone to go over to find a housekeeper to help the prince back to the room to rest.
It's been three years since I came to the palace, and Wang Yan's identity and status have gradually become a little delicate, and I don't know what's going on, probably because the prince is middle-aged, and the father's love that is about to burst has nowhere to vent, so he sprinkled it on himself, which is particularly good for his mother and son.
There is another one, that is, Wang Yan himself, who is really famous for his murder, and he beats people and picks up three ways.
I think that the day after I first came to the palace, I beat the chef of the palace, he was only three years old that year, who would have thought of it.
The chef of the palace is naturally not bad in the local area, and this chef is still a famous chef hired by the butler in the largest local tavern.
But I really haven't heard of any chef who boils elbows in water.
Wang Yan's hands were very poisonous, taking advantage of others squatting down to make a fire to cook, and beating him with a sack and a stick.
Wang Yan was naturally extremely angry.
Three years, three whole years, do you know how I lived?!
Ye Ling'er has very little milk, Wang Yan was weaned a long time ago, switched to drinking cactus juice, and began to roast cactus and cactus sashimi when he grew up......
Wang Yan is a person who loves food very much, and his long-lost elbow was made into this grandmother, Wang Yan naturally couldn't bear it.
