Section 487 Return home
"Jianwenjun...... This is the mansion given to you by His Majesty, can you take a look at it, are you still satisfied? Liu Quqing, who was in charge of the affairs of the meritorious minister, his relatives and the clan, led Zhang Yue and walked in a luxurious mansion.
Han is not the same as Qin.
The system of military meritorious lords and famous fields collapsed at the hands of Taizong and the first emperor.
And changed into today's three-level title system of people, officials, and kings.
From the public to the public (1 to 8 levels) belong to the people, from the five doctors to the marquis of Guannei (9 to 19) are the officials, and the princes and princes belong to the marquises.
There is a strict hierarchy with each other, and few people can surpass it.
At this point, there is already a clear difference from the Qin Dynasty.
Now, the Lords are free to buy and sell, and the Lords can be promoted through rewards.
Only the top princes, in most cases, still need military merit.
Since the entire military merit lord mansion system has collapsed, then naturally, the once strict hierarchy of the Qin Dynasty has also collapsed.
Just like the 'Jianwen Jun Mansion' given to Zhang Yue by the Son of Heaven, its area is almost equivalent to the area of the mansion that the Hou of Guan Nei was qualified to occupy in the past.
The entire mansion is divided into two parts, front and back.
The front yard is four entrances and two lanes, and if you exaggerate a little, you can even dig a large open-air swimming pool in the yard.
And the backyard is even more exaggerated!
There are hundreds of large and small rooms.
Enough for two or three hundred people!
All kinds of furniture and utensils are readily available.
Not to mention, this mansion is still located on the side of Qili, near the palace wall of Weiyang Palace.
This is one of the best locations in Chang'an City.
Conservative estimates, at least worth 10 million!
Zhang Yue looked at it, and he was also smacked.
Such a big house......
It's just too big!
He doesn't go back to Chang'an often, is it a bit too extravagant and wasteful?
However, he was not polite at all, and said with a smile: "It's really hard work......
Liu Quyu listened to it and hurriedly replied: "The waiter is serious, this is the duty of this official......"
Liu Quyu was transferred back to Chang'an from Zhuojun Taishou last month to serve as Zong Zhengqing.
He was about forty or fifty years old, white and chubby, and looked like a kind uncle next door.
But......
Zhang Yue knows very well that this nephew of today's son is amazing!
Although, the later Peng Hou and Zuo Prime Minister collapsed because of their involvement in the witch Gu case, so they left a stench with Li Guangli for 10,000 years.
Even the information and records about him were lost in the annals of history.
But now, the concubine of King Jing of Zhongshan is one of the pride of the Liu family.
The cousin of Liu Xuande's ancestor in later generations was born very badly.
Her mother was even the daughter of a small merchant in Zhongshan Kingdom, and she and Liu Sheng only had a dewy marriage.
Who is Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan?
Pulling out the word ruthless is the most appropriate way to describe him.
In his life, he has only been recognized as an heir, with more than 100 sons and countless daughters.
As for the illegitimate children and those who don't know if they are his species, there are countless of them.
Therefore, Liu Quyu is only the name of a clan.
When Liu Sheng was alive, he probably didn't even remember that he had such a son.
When he dies, it won't be able to do anything.
However......
Liu Quyu, but through his own study and hard work, step by step, starting from the grassroots county lieutenant, successively served as the county lieutenant, county commander, county Sima, county post, county lieutenant, Taishou, until now worship Zong Zhengqing.
If nothing else, he may also be worshipped as prime minister!
That's amazing!
Moreover, Liu Quyu is also the son and daughter of Haixi Hou Li Guangli - his eldest son Liu Hui married Li Guangli's daughter.
His wife Zhang and Li Guangli's wife are best friends.
Therefore, when he was edicted to Chang'an as Zong Zhengqing, the keen princes of Chang'an had already rumored in private that he would worship as prime minister.
Moreover, Zhang Yue also heard that once Liu Quyu worships the prime minister, he may be granted real power.
The Prime Minister's Office will play a role again!
Therefore, Zhang Yue maintained enough respect for Liu Quyu.
Liu Quyu smiled and said very kindly: "If Jianwenjun likes it, if he likes it, if he likes it, it's good to ......."
Although he has only been in Chang'an from Zhuojun for only a month, Zhang Yue's name and prestige have already been heard, and he has recently witnessed how this favorite minister of the Son of Heaven hangs the ancient literature school.
He didn't want to provoke such a big enemy for his in-laws at all.
"Your Majesty also instructed that the slaves and maids given to Jianwenjun can be ......selected by Jianwenjun personally," Liu Quyu said with a smile: "I don't know what requirements Jianwenjun has for slaves and maids?" ”
His Zongzhengqing Yamen has hundreds of thousands of officials, slaves and maids.
From the families of convicted officials to Yidi captives and even slaves, it can be said that there is everything.
Especially some time ago, the Son of Heaven cleaned the officialdom and shopping malls in Chang'an, and confiscated a large number of slaves and criminals' families.
Zhang Yue thought about it, he might not come back to live in this mansion for a long time.
My sister-in-law probably can't adapt to the life in Chang'an, she prefers to run her own manor and business in Nanling.
As for Rou Niang, if she lives here alone, Zhang Yue will not rest assured.
So, for the foreseeable future, the house will probably be vacant for a long time.
This made Zhang Yue feel a little painful, such a big house is empty here, but the daily cost and consumption are probably indispensable.
And he, the servant and county commander, is only 2,000 stones.
Even if you count the rewards, plus the income of Jianwenjun, the feudal monarch's 200 households, in a year, it will be 500,000 yuan in wages.
So, this place has to be able to make money!
At the very least, the people in this house must be able to earn enough income to feed them and maintain this house.
So what is the most profitable thing in Chang'an City?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue bowed his hand to Liu Quyu and said: "Among the unknown Zong Zhengqing, is there anyone who is good at winemaking?" ”
Liu Quyu heard this, and then came to his senses.
The nobles of Chang'an ministers relied on wine-making and selling wine to subsidize their families, which is a tradition.
Because, the Han official strictly forbade brewing without permission.
The drought in Guanzhong in the summer has made the state strictly prohibit all the use of grain to make wine.
But......
The more this is the case, the more the people like to drink.
As a result, the moonshine trade has become the most profitable business in Guanzhong now.
It's just that the only ones who can do this business are the top nobles.
Others can be crushed even if they touch it.
And the young favored minister of the Son of Heaven in front of him happens to be qualified to do this thing.
Thinking like this, Liu Quyu smiled even more happily: "Jianwenjun wants a brewer? It just so happens that in Zong Zhengqing's official residence, there are hundreds of masters who are proficient in winemaking, all of whom are criminal slaves, if Jianwenjun needs it, this official will let people send the roster to make Jianwenjun carefully select ......"
Anyway, the person who dug the foot of the Liu family's wall is not bad for a person surnamed Zhang.
This is also the right of the other party!
Even the power of the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for a dignified Son of Heaven to be a close minister and a member of the country?
Doesn't that force him to be greedy?
But Liu Quyu knew that Zhang Yue had never had the idea of breaking the ban.
It's not that he doesn't want to, and it's not that he's pretending to be high.
But it can't!
In order to make a small profit, he ruined his reputation, which was purely picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.
Zhang Yue is not so stupid.
But......
In addition to grain brewing, there are other ways to make wine.
For example, fruit wine, but also medicinal wine.
Zhang Yue thought very clearly, in this world, scarcity is expensive.
Learn from others, brew those rice wine and sake that are not high, and you can't make a lot of money.
However, if it is ingenious, it has developed health wines such as wine and various medicinal wines.
Plus their own fame......
And the money is not rolling in?
What's even better is that he hasn't broken the law yet, even Dasi Nong can't say that he isn't.
This allows his liquor to be sold publicly!
……………………………………
An hour later, Liu Quyu sent someone to send a box of rosters to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue just read it once, and then selected a list of fifteen people, all of whom were more famous winemakers in Chang'an City in the past.
It's just that the passing years are unfavorable, and their master's family has a big event, and they have been dragged down and become official slaves and maids.
But the background and details are very innocent, and there is no adultery.
Then, the list was sent to Zong Zhengqing's mansion.
And he himself was going to go back to Nanling to pick up Rou Niang.
By the way, take a look at the situation at home, and then bring the Tian Miao brothers to Chang'an, and let them preside over and supervise the winemaking that will be carried out in this mansion.
Another is that when he goes back this time, he has to worship his ancestors.
Anyway, now he has to be crowned king.
Although it is only a non-hereditary feudal monarch with 200 households, it is also a happy event, and he has to repay his ancestors.
So, he went back to the palace to ask the Son of Heaven for leave.
When the Son of Heaven heard that Zhang Yue was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he was also very happy.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Qing Weiwei and my eldest grandson, the minister of state, this time I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I must not lose face......
"In this way, I will send a hundred horsemen of Yulinwei to escort Qing back to his hometown......"
Xiang Yu knows that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, like brocade clothes walking at night.
Lao Liu's family prefers to show off like this.
At the beginning, Emperor Gao held a flowing water banquet in Fengpei for several days.
When Emperor Taizong returned to Jinyang, he also painted gourds in the same way, and held a feast and drank with the people of Jinyang for three days before stopping.
When Zhang Yue heard this, he hurriedly thanked: "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to repay!" ”
This is the emperor's money and efforts, pretending to force himself!
It is also an opportunity to directly prove his status to the people of the world.
It may lead to jealousy and even resentment, but it doesn't matter.
In life, if you can't show off and can't be beautiful, what's the point?
Soon, Liu Jin also heard that Zhang Yue was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he immediately rushed over and sent several sacrificial vessels made by the Dongyuan Order, including a bronze tripod.
Empress Wei also ordered people to send five hundred gold and dozens of silk of various colors.
As a result, Zhang Yue's decision to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors was known both inside and outside the entire court.
Zhang Anshi, Violent Shengzhi, Zhao Ponu, Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji and even Huo Guang all sent people to send gifts.
And the other ministers and princes also sent people to send gifts.
Although most people just gave some silk cloth and satin gold, it was a greeting.
But it also made Zhang Yue's trip back to his hometown extremely bloated.
All kinds of gifts, stuffed with a full five carriages, the whole Chang'an was dumbfounded, especially when they saw that there was actually a Yulin Guard cavalry escort, everyone almost bit off their tongues!
"Giving birth to a child should be as heavy as Zhang Zizhong!" I don't know if it was the onlookers who sighed in the crowd, so this sentence became popular throughout Chang'an.
I don't know how many princes and princesses, when teaching their children and nephews, they will compare Zhang Yue.
As a result, Zhang Yue has since become someone else's child and a nightmare for Chang'an!
……………………………………
When Zhang Yue drove back to Nanling.
The whole Nanling was a sensation.
Along the way, countless people who heard the news, with their children, stood on both sides of the road and cheered.
For the people of Nanling, Zhang Yue is indeed their pride.
Now, when Nanling people go out, they are everywhere: "Zhang Chiyou, my township party is also!" ”
When the people around heard this, they all cast envious looks.
A big man being a township party is not only extremely glorious in Hanji, but also a good thing that can be stained.
Not to mention, can the fortunate big man forget the villagers who live in dire straits?
Back then, Yang Fu was ashamed that he was not from Guanzhong, so he exchanged his merits for the grace of the Son of Heaven to include his hometown Xin'an in Guanzhong.
Zhang Tang served as the court lieutenant and the imperial historian, and the entire Honggu Yuan was stained with light, and the local tax burden and water conservancy facility system have so far been crowned in the pass!
Not to mention the fact that one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.
Gongsun He's father and son have been entrenched in the Taifu for more than 20 years, and the result is that the officials of the Taifu Yamen are full of people from Longyou County.
Even if he is fair and honest, he will treat people from Puyang with a green eye.
And the new county magistrate and the new county lieutenant of Nanling County took the county officials, like a small guy, to the intersection of the county Chi Road to greet Zhang Yue.
The three elders in the county followed closely behind, holding crutches, and stepped forward to greet Zhang Yue.
When Zhang Yue saw it, of course, he hurriedly got out of the car, stepped forward and bowed: "Dare to be a great gift to all fathers and fathers?" Hurry up, please get up, hurry up ......"
He bowed to the onlookers on both sides: "The father is enthusiastic, tormenting the boy, the boy is just a minister of His Majesty, fortunately His Majesty does not give up, and he uses it as a servant, and he is ashamed to not benefit the world and the township party!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all smiling and proud!
Only the county commander and the county lieutenant of Nanling County were more embarrassed in the crowd.
They are not from Nanling, so naturally they cannot enjoy this kind of township party treatment.
Fortunately, it is worth it for them to have the opportunity to come into contact with such a big person, and it is even more worthwhile if they are patted on the back.
Immediately, he took people forward and bowed in front of Zhang Yue and said: "Nanling County ordered Yang Wangzhi (county lieutenant Xu Fang) to welcome the servants back to their hometown......"
Especially Yang Wangzhi, he watched each other with his own eyes, step by step from humble as dust, to the present, hanging high in the sky, like the sun!
In his heart, he regretted again and again, if he had chosen to ......
I'm afraid it's ...... now
Seeing this, Zhang Yue smiled and stepped forward and said, "The two Ming Gongs are serious, and they are serious......
So, surrounded by everyone, they went in the direction of Changshui Township.
The 100 Yulin cavalry sent by the Son of Heaven have been clustered around Zhang Yue from beginning to end.
