When he and Ba Zhong came to his residence next to Weiqiao, he looked at this mansion with heavy buildings and tall buildings, carved beams and paintings, and Heifu couldn't help but admire: "What a big mansion. ”

It's not that he doesn't have knowledge, Zhangtai Palace has entered, where in the world is there a bigger house than that? What's more, Heifu's mansions in Gangneung and Anlu are no smaller than Ba Zhai.

But this is the capital, and future generations have said that it is not easy to live in Chang'an. The housing prices in Beijing are not comparable to those of third- and fourth-tier cities such as Jiangling and Anlu.

Legend has it that the Zhou metric system has nine numbers, the world of the Warring States, the study of arithmetic is widely spread, and there are many arithmetic books in the six countries, and now these arithmetic books are concentrated in the stone room of the Imperial History Mansion. When Heifu went to find Zhang Cang, he was collecting the remnants of the old text and deleting and supplementing them.

So Hefu happened to see one of the math problems above.

"There is bail today, the price of a year old is 2,500, and I will take 1,200 today, and ask what is the day?"

In the future, Zhang works for others, with an annual salary of 2,500 yuan, and now he is going to buy a house, he has no money to pay a down payment, and he wants to advance a salary of 1,200 yuan.

The annual salary of the fighting eater is 96 stone rice, based on the current price of 30 rice stones, plus some business trip subsidies, the annual salary is about 3,000 yuan, which is the income of ordinary civil servants in Xianyang.

With such an income, it is not easy to buy a house in Xianyang. It is said that a small house of more than 100 square meters that can accommodate a family of five starts at 10,000 yuan. Compared with later generations, it is not too expensive, and after a few years of hard work, relatives helped to make up for it, at least they were able to pay the down payment......

As for the compound where the minister and doctor live, the price ranges from 500,000 to 1 million depending on the size of the area!

Ba Zhong's current title is Gongcheng, according to the famous field house system, there are 20 houses, nearly 80 acres of homestead, he bought this big mansion, and it is in a prime location like Weiqiao, less than two million dollars, absolutely can't get it!

But two million dollars is a drizzle for Babbitt!

The standard of the Qin Dynasty's well-off is 100,000 yuan, and the standard of those wealthy families who have been moved to Xianyang is one million dollars, if it can reach 10 million, it is "rich".

But Ba's family wealth may be described as "100 million". Every year, just mining and refining dansha and selling it to the government can make a lot of money, not to mention the business of servants, well salt, and horse gangs. It is said that Ba Shi has 1,000 servants in Ba County, 2,000 private armies, and tens of thousands of dependents, which shows that he has strong financial resources.

"This was originally the departure of Chang Yumenke, but after Chang Yu fell, it was bought by my mother and renovated to make it convenient for me to live in the capital."

Ba Zhong hinted with a smile: "There are actually many mansions like this in Xianyang, if you need it, you can choose ...... you."

is worthy of being a rich man, a mansion of two million, and if you say you will give it away, you will give it away!

Heifu has now become a close minister of the emperor, and Ba's move is not without flattery, but Qin Lu is very strict in this regard, and is specifically responsible for supervising hundreds of officials.

So he politely refused: "Qin Lu, if you accept a penny, you will also be sentenced, let alone the mansion?" Brother Ba don't say anything again! ”

"It's natural, and I'm just joking, joking." Ba Zhong laughed and invited Heifu into the house for a feast.

Heifu is not envious, in terms of social status, as the head of Zuo, he is much higher than Ba Zhong. As long as Heifu has money, he can also buy seventy houses in Xianyang.

But the problem is that there is no money......

He is now earning thousands of stones, equivalent to half two dollars and 30,000 yuan, but to buy a mansion, it is far from enough to rely on a dead salary. In the past few years of war, relying on rewards and plunder, Heifu has a net worth of more than one million, but all the spare money is used to invest in the brown sugar business, so when he arrives in Xianyang, he can only make do in a small courtyard for officials to live.

"I don't know how my cousin is selling brown sugar in Xianyang City, Weibei?"

Heifu was busy with the guards these days and didn't pay attention to this matter, so before entering the Bazhong mansion for dinner, he asked the royal Sangmu to go to the other side of the Weiqiao to see the situation, and his plan to buy a house was counting on the brown sugar to sell in Xianyang.

……

After entering the mansion, Heifu followed Ba Zhong to a small pavilion, although it was not night, the surrounding area of the pavilion had been lit with candles, reflecting the surroundings as bright as day. The beautiful maid bowed her head and served on the side, and the stone table here had been set up with a bottle, some vegetables and fruits were placed in the lacquer plate, and wine was boiled on the stone table.

Qin's law, more than three people in Qianshou are not allowed to drink together, and there is no prohibition on alcohol among hundreds of officials, but they can't be too arrogant. The only exception to this is when there is a celebration in the imperial court, and the subjects are allowed to gather and drink, which is called "bestowing".

After the emperor announced the edict today, in order to celebrate the establishment of the empire, he also announced that the world was drunk, and the prohibition of alcohol was opened, and the fragrance of wine was overflowing everywhere on both sides of the Weiqiao.

The two sat down to drink and congratulate each other on their birthdays, and Ba Zhong congratulated Heifu on becoming the chief of the left house, and became the Zhonglang household order, so that he could always accompany the Son of Heaven.

Heifu first wished Ba Zhong's mother to be publicly praised by the First Emperor and made a virgin.

"To be personally commended by the emperor, for three generations, there has never been such a case!"

Speaking of which, people in these years are relatively open on gender issues, and men and women can fall in love freely during the festival. Chen Ping of Yangwu County chose a marriage partner, and did not dislike Zhang's daughter to remarry many times.

Even so, there are not few widows in the world, but the emperor can set up a chaste archway, this is the only case, which is really glorious for a border county woman and a businessman......

It's not like the plot of some bloody TV series, what does the emperor think about the widow Qing, listening to what Ba Zhong said, his mother is already in her fifties, and the emperor is only thirty-eight this year, so the taste can't be so heavy.

As far as Heifu knows, the emperor respects the widow Qing for two reasons.

One is that Qin Shi Huang really attached great importance to women's "chastity".

This is also understandable, the emperor's mother Zhao Ji was a long-sleeved master who was good at dancing in Handan in her early years, first hooked up with Lu Buwei, and then married Gongzi Yiren. After becoming the queen mother, she hid her concubine in the palace and fornicated in the palace.

The mother's debauchery may have left an indelible impression on the emperor's childhood, so after Qin Shi Huang pacified the rebellion of Chang Yu, he gave birth to two sons born to the Empress Dowager and imprisoned the Empress Dowager in the side palace. Although later due to public opinion, the Empress Dowager Zhao was reunited in Ganquan Palace, but the mother and son had become enemies, and they did not reconcile until their deaths.

Qin Shi Huang has not forgiven the Empress Dowager Zhao so far, when discussing the emperor's title, he respected King Qin Zhuang Xiang as the emperor, and the mausoleum of his grandmother Empress Dowager Huayang and Empress Dowager Xia was also sealed, but the Empress Dowager Zhao was missing.

The shadow of childhood made the emperor very sensitive to the improper relationship between men and women, and he once asked the imperial historian and the court to change the relevant laws on adultery and encourage adulterers, and it has reached the point where after catching the adulterer, he will directly dip the pig cage and kill him......

Now he deliberately raised the archway of the virgin woman to commend the widow Qing, and there is no hope that the women of the world will follow suit.

Secondly, Ba Shi also reciprocated the favor, repeatedly donated money and food for the army to fund Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and Ba Zhong even ran around Ba County and Nan County all year round to ease the relationship between the Ba tribe and the Qin State government.

And Ba Zhong came to Xianyang this time, in addition to thanking the emperor on behalf of his mother, he also had another task.

"Thousands of stone dansha, transported from Bajun to Guanzhong, or take the plank road, or take a detour to Wuguan, it is not an easy task."

While drinking, Ba Zhong whispered to Heifu about their family's biggest deal.

"Your Majesty likes dansha, and I heard them say that the monks can use dansha to refine immortal medicine. In addition, if Dansha is burned, it will become mercury, and the mausoleum built by His Majesty in Lishan will also require a huge amount of mercury! ”

The mausoleums of the early years of the Qin State were built in the old capital Yong, and when it came to the reign of Qin Xiaogong, a new royal mausoleum area was begun to be demarcated in Zhiyang County, east of Bashui, where King Huiwen, King Zhaoxiang, and Empress Dowager Xuan were buried.

Only the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is set at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain east of Zhiyang, although the emperor is in his prime, but this mausoleum has been repaired for 26 years since he ascended the throne at the age of 13......

But now, with the promotion of Qin Shi Huang from King of Qin to Emperor, the specifications of the mausoleum have to be upgraded to a higher level, so it was decided to restart. According to Qin Shi Huang's temperament of doing one thing, he must be ancient and modern, and you can imagine how grand the Lishan Mausoleum will be.

Heifu thought secretly: "Since the big project of Lishan has been launched, then the terracotta warriors and horses will also start firing, right?" ”

He had been to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in his previous life, in addition to marveling at the high cost of tickets, he also had a new impression of Qin, and he also walked around Qinling Park for an afternoon and posted a circle of friends, but at that time he did not expect that he would one day become Qin Shi Huang's guard.

"It is said that the terracotta warriors and horses are fired from the template of the Lang Zhongling Army and the Weiwei Army, maybe, someone from the Shaofu will come to the door and make a general figurine according to my appearance and height!"

Thinking of this, Heifu finds it particularly interesting, history and reality seem to be intertwined.

Just when Heifu turned himself into a large pottery figure and stood in a glass frame for future generations to watch and study, Ba Zhong's subordinate, the Ba Ren warrior Danhu, who had distributed salt to Hei Fu on the boat, walked in and said something in Ba language.

"Nakarou Household Order."

After Ba Zhong asked Danhu to go down, he said to Heifu: "My family's people in Xianyang City came to report, saying that Junzhi's cousin seems to be in trouble over there......"

"What?" Heifu was stunned at first, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to find trouble for himself!

As soon as Ba Zhong's words fell, hurried footsteps sounded outside, but it was Sang Mu who came back. He came to the pavilion and bowed down and said, "Lord! Something happened! ”
