Chapter 16 The prince is also short of money

Daye Fang

This is the first time Yu Zhiqian has come to Daxingfang, compared with the previous few workshops that Yu Zhiqian often visited, it feels like another Chang'an.

The dilapidated fangmen, all kinds of debris visible to the naked eye on the streets, and some thin, blind-eyed people are doing some mechanical labor, some are shirtless and exerting their strength, and some are talking in a low voice.

"Living here with an adult?" Yu Zhiqian looked at his surroundings and was a little surprised.

When Yu Zhiqian came to ancient times before, because the people who came in and out were rich and noble, even some of the civilians he came into contact with were landlords, small rich families, and he did not come into contact with the real people at the bottom, so Yu Zhiqian once suspected that the ancient poems he had learned before were wrong about the people.

It's just that the poet has some pessimistic statements about the general environment, but now after seeing these people, Yu Zhiqian is silent, this is still Chang'an, and now it is still prosperous, there are still such poor families in Chang'an, what will it be like when you leave Chang'an City? Yu Zhiqian couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Your Highness, the house with the Lord is still inside, and it will be there soon!"

Zhang Xiaojing took Yu Zhiqian and others around Daye Fang, and came to the front of a house, compared to the rest of the houses in Daye Fang, this house is luxurious, there are two stone lions at the door, in addition, the surrounding environment is also a lot cleaner, and the paint on the door is not off, and the door of the house is hung with two big characters.

"This is Lord Yan's words, specially for Lord He, Lord Yan has not given people words for many years!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he nodded, walked down from the carriage, looked around, and found that the surrounding houses were empty, most of them were uninhabited, and only He Shen lived in this area.

In addition, there are not too many axle prints on the road, only one, which should be the vehicle that He Shen took when he commuted to work, so it seems that the number of people who came to visit He Shen should not be very large.

In addition, Yu Zhiqian paid attention to the walls of the house, they were all painted, and they looked like they were often painted, which should be the appearance of the owner.

"Knock on the door!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhan walked to the door, gently grabbed the door knocker, and then pulled it twice, knocking on the door of the adult's house, Yu Zhiqian stood next to him, checked the copper ring, as if Sherlock Holmes was possessed, trying to find out that this was just one of the many properties in Heshen, not a place to live.

The preconceived notion made Yu Zhiqian insist that all this was an illusion, and He Shen just showed the illusion of being incorruptible as water, but in fact he was still the insatiable Lord He.

It's a pity that Yu Zhiqian searched for a long time, but didn't find any evidence, all the details are realistic, but this is where he usually lives with adults, not with adults in order to confuse others fake house.

Soon the door was opened, and an old man in his fifties opened the door a crack, and after seeing Zhang Zhan, he gently hugged his fists: "This adult, I don't know who you are looking for?" ”

"Inform your family and adults, and say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming and is ready to greet you!" After finishing speaking, he handed Yu Zhiqian's greeting post.

The old man was startled when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was placed, and immediately replied: "Honored guest, please come in, I will go and inform the master!" ”

After finishing speaking, he motioned to a servant beside him to carry Zhang Zhan into the door, while he trotted all the way to inform He Shen.

Five minutes later, Yu Zhiqian finally met the legendary Lord He, similar to Yu Zhiqian's thoughts, He Shen is not tall, about 1.65 meters, round and looks like a combination of Teacher Wang and Teacher Guo.

After seeing Yu Zhiqian, He Shen immediately rushed to Yu Zhiqian's luggage: "Weichen, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Excuse me, and my lord, this palace heard that he and the adult is sick, so I came to take a look, and I didn't disturb the adult!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie is very kind, Weichen just occasionally feels the cold, and now there is no big problem, and he can go to Shangshutai to be on duty tomorrow!"

Yu Zhiqian listened while looking around He Shen's house, the chair he was sitting on should be what He Shen usually does, and the armrest position has been touched very smooth, and it looks like he often sits on people.

And the living room is also cleaned very clean, and the hygiene in the house is also often cleaned, so this room should be inhabited all year round.

"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more interested in in Weichen's house? Weichen usually likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, if the prince likes the old minister, take it down, but it's not something valuable, just just think it's good writing! ”

Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "No, I just sighed, I want to be a big man with my dynasty, and I actually live in such a humble room, as the prince, I really feel uneasy!" ”

"The prince is loved, the old minister lives here is just used to it, when the old minister entered Beijing to catch the exam, he was penniless, he was fortunate to be in high school, and he was funded by his fellow villagers, so he purchased this property, and he didn't want to move after living for a long time these years, for the old minister, there was only a place to block the rain, and he had nothing else to ask for!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he nodded: "It's hard work with adults, Zhang Zhan, bring the gifts, and adults are sick, it's inconvenient to disturb too much!" ”

"Your Highness,......

When Yu Zhiqian left He Shen's mansion, he squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at He Shen's mansion again, from entering the door to going out, Yu Zhiqian did not find any problems, no matter who came, he could not find the problem.

"Could it be that Lord He is really a good and honest official?" Yu Zhiqian couldn't help but shake some of the thoughts in his heart.

After all, many historical figures, many people have come out of the line, and He Shen is a good official, but it is not unacceptable.

"I hope I'm thinking too much!" After thinking for a while, Yu Zhiqian shook his head and left He Shen's mansion.

Inside He Shen's mansion, He Shen gently held a string of beads in his hand and played with it, staring at the door and thinking for a while, then sighed: "Hey, it's getting harder and harder! Then he slowly walked back to his bedroom to rest.

As for this sentence, it is getting harder and harder, and no one knows what it means.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, how are you going to investigate the case?"

Zhang Xiaojing set up the carriage and asked Yu Zhiqian curiously, Yu Zhiqian thought for a while and there was no good way, but he couldn't appear to be so incompetent, and coughed lightly: "Zhang Xiaojing, do you know that there is a word called "Constant to Change?" ”

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean? Waiting for the other party to show their feet? ”

"That's right, that Zhang Zhan, you find a few people to spread the news, just say that someone reported fraud in the imperial examination, and my father ordered me to investigate the case!"

"High! High! It's really high! ”

Lu Bu beside him gave Yu Zhiqian a thumbs up, and Yu Zhiqian and Zhang Xiaojing both looked at this guy.

"What do you see?"

Lu Bu said without thinking: "His Royal Highness the Prince's move, to respond to all changes with the same, is really too high!" ”

"Sycophants!" Zhang Xiaojing glanced at Lu Bu and continued to drive, he was not like Lu Bu's sycophant, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, he was a dignified and disciplined person: "Prince, this carriage is a little uncomfortable, I will change it for you tomorrow, in the car, you can't feel the bumps at all!" ”

"Okay! ~”

Prince's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, that today, Liu Bei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came to the account room and took out thirty-one taels of silver, saying that Your Highness borrowed it from him!"

As soon as he entered the door, the chief steward came over and whispered.

Yu Zhiqian nodded, there is indeed such a thing, he robbed Liu Bei's purse before, but how much money was in it, Yu Zhiqian was not very clear.

"Your Highness, there is no money in the palace!"

"Huh?"

Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, there is no money? As the crown prince, he actually has no money, Yu Zhiqian looked at his big housekeeper: "How can there be no money?" ”

"Your Highness, in the past half a month, you have gone out if you have nothing to do, bought some useless things, spent a lot of silver taels, and spent a lot of money in the palace, and there is only less than left on the account, less than that!"

"Not much?"

"Less than ten taels!"

"Are you corrupt?" Yu Zhiqian stared at his big housekeeper, he would definitely not admit that he spent all his money because he spent money indiscriminately!

"A small wrong, Your Highness, a small wrong!"

The big housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, and Yu Zhiqian coughed lightly: "It's just a joke, don't be afraid, get up, are there still ten taels?" ”

After thinking for a while, Yu Zhiqian sighed and shook his head, he didn't expect that he would become a prince and worry about money.

As the crown prince, Yu Zhiqian also has a month every month, in addition, the palace will also give a certain subsidy, Yu Zhiqian's mother, Queen Liu will also post a little if she has nothing to do, in addition, there are some offerings, such as some big businessmen and so on.

However, before Yu Zhiqian crossed over, this prince was more stubborn, thinking that he would become the son of heaven in the future, and he was not ashamed to be in the company of businessmen and did not accept the contributions of those rich businessmen, so he could only rely on the subsidies in the palace to barely live.

After Yu Zhiqian came, he spent a lot of money, but the little savings he had left before were gone, and now there is still half a month before the next monthly allowance and subsidy, and the East Palace does not do anything a day, everyone eats and drinks Lazar, at least more than 30 taels of silver.

Xiaoyao Palace, this is the name that Yu Zhiqian changed from a carpenter before, it is said that what kind of precious wood was used, and he found another one to write, and spent nearly forty taels of silver, Yu Zhiqian stared at this plaque, thinking about whether to sell this.

Yu Zhiqian stared at the word Xiaoyao and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, he was ready to be a carefree king, but there was still a premise for being a carefree king, that is, to achieve his financial freedom.

Obviously, Yu Zhiqian is still far from financial freedom, if he didn't have such a large group of people, Yu Zhiqian's current money would be enough to live until the next time, but he is not alone, there is still a group of people to support, and by the way, there is also a crown princess.

"Money, my dignified Royal Highness the Prince, I still have to worry about money!" Yu Zhiqian let out a long sigh, if you want to be the king of freedom, not only is it not as simple as not being a prince, but also having money, the ancients said that if you have money, you can go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without money, and you really don't deceive me.

"Zhang Xiaojing, you said that it is a way to get money faster!"

Yu Zhiqian thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a good way, he was not a business material.

"Your Highness, I think the things that are forbidden in Tang Law are quite profitable!"
