According to the normal procedures, Zhao Xin returned to Bianliang from Dinghai, and there were strict regulations on the itinerary and address, etc., and he could not live in the Miao family, he had to live in the Dinghai Marquis Mansion.

To be honest, Zhao Xin hadn't seen this mansion since it was given last year, but after entering, he found that it was very big.

According to what I knew before, this should be the mansion of a county king, because of a mistake, it was deprived by the Zongren Mansion, and after it was renovated, it became the Dinghai Marquis Mansion.

As far as living is concerned, Zhao Xin doesn't attach much importance to it, when he was in the navy, he lived very simply, such a huge mansion, of course, he could live in it.

The hustle and bustle of the day, even if it is by boat and car, but in terms of mentality, it is a little tired, Zhao Xin looked out the window, the dark night sky, and had a lot of thoughts.

Bianliang of the Northern Song Dynasty, known as the city that never sleeps, does not mean that the Bianliang of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the dark night, is still brightly lit, that is impossible, in the era of no electric lights and gas lamps, if you want to let the wild have light, it is almost impossible, how many candles are needed to do it, and you must also take into account the problem of wind, with lanterns, not afraid of the wind, but the brightness is also greatly reduced.

The city that never sleeps is talking about some special areas, for example, some places of wind and moon, under the premise of using a lot of candles, even at night, there are bright places, which are just indoors and outdoors, and it is also dark.

From the decision to return to Bianliang, Zhao Xin's heart was a little apprehensive, from the time of crossing to the present, he has countless opportunities to come back, and even, at the time of the previous decision, he can not make the decision to abdicate, as long as he returns to the court, with his ability, plus the only seedling of Renzong, there is no problem in sitting firmly in the position of the prince.

But the reason why he didn't come back and chose another path, a more difficult path, is that development is only one of the reasons, and the bigger reason is fear.

That's right, he is a traverser, occupying Zhao Xin's body, and he can be said to know nothing before.

Of course, when he crossed over, he was just a child, he didn't remember, plus 2 years of time, after twists and turns, and diluted his memory, it can be explained, he even collected some information about Renzong and the concubine, so that he was not completely unfamiliar, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

According to the regulations, he needs to go to the Ministry of Rites to do some registration tomorrow, and the outside festival envoy will return, and he will follow this routine, and he also needs to go to Dongfu to report on his work.

The debriefing of the privy envoy is generally a formality, and Zhao Xin's identity and position are not worried about someone stumbling up, but the procedures that should be taken must be followed.

The day was cold and the night was heavy, Zhao Xin was confused, sat in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep, and the next day, he walked through the motions non-stop.

Fortunately, it has been sorted out in advance, and tens of thousands of guan is basically a small amount of money for the current Zhao Xin, but for these ordinary Beijing officials, it is a lot.

This is just a favor, Zhao Xin's debriefing, according to the procedure, it will take at least three days, and a series of checks and inquiries need to be carried out, but at the end of the year, no one has this time, which is a passing scene in itself, and now it is even more money to open the way, and it is only half a day, and it is already over.

After it was over, there was still some time, Zhao Xin came to Miao's house, he didn't notify in advance, he came quietly.

This time when I returned to Beijing, in addition to promoting the railway, the most important thing was to meet Miao Guifei.

She is Zhao Xin's mother, and she is also the mother of this body, although Zhao Xin has never seen it, but he faintly feels a trace of expectation, this may be the residual consciousness in the body.

After Zhao Xin decided to go to Bianliang, the concubine decided to save her relatives, and after Zhao Xin postponed it, she also postponed it, and everyone knew what was going on, Zhao Xin's identity, at the top level, there were almost no secrets.

In the eyes of the Zaifu and those selected clans, as long as Zhao Xin abides by the rules and does not enter the palace privately, he will meet with Renzong privately and see what the concubine has.

The harem does not interfere in politics, this is the iron law of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty is the scholar and the official family to rule the world, not the scholar and the queen mother to rule the world, even if it is the Empress Dowager Liu, the power is monstrous, and the political skills are very strong, as long as the emperor can be pro-government, he will immediately get the support of the scholars, the pillow wind, has never been the focus of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family.

The location of the concubine's relatives is set in the Miao Mansion, not the Dinghai Hou Mansion, although the high-level knows that Zhao Xin is Zhao Xin, the son of the concubine, and the only heir of Renzong, but in the clan, he has faked his death and removed his name, so he is really dead, and now, Zhao Xin is the heir of the Miao family, and such an identity is not enough to bear the qualifications to welcome the concubine.

For the sake of the concubine's relatives, at the beginning, it was just a temporary idea, Zhao Xin just decided to come to Bianliang, and the concubine decided to save the relatives.

It stands to reason that the concubine visits the house, what an honor this is, generally speaking, it is necessary to notify half a year or even a year in advance, and the family with this glory will also build a series of palaces for the concubine, which is a huge expense, and it must be completed.

But this time, there were only less than 20 days from the notice to the visit, and even if the Miao family had the power to ascend to the sky, they could not build a palace, so they could only pick out a clean courtyard and make a simple arrangement.

But fortunately, Zhao Xin postponed it after that, and it was two or three months, and for this reason, the Miao family began to build a large number of buildings.

If it is replaced by the Miao family before, there is really no way to get it right, the largest industry of the Miao family, that is, the Zhuangzi in Baozhou, is only a lot, and it can have hundreds of times a year, which is already good.

It is not easy for Beijing officials, and it is even more difficult for the nobles in the capital, ushering in and sending them, human exchanges, these together, these expenses are not enough every year, if it were not for the subsidies of Renzong and the concubine, the Miao family would have been unable to stay for a long time.

Since Zhao Xin was born, a fundamental change has taken place immediately, even if it is just the business of steamed buns and soap in Baozhou, it will make more than 5,000 yuan of income per month, not to mention the four-season gift sent by the Dinghai Navy, they have this qualification, and they have the wealth to invest.

However, within a few days of this civil engineering, it was known to Zhao Xin, who immediately notified, stopped, and waited for his order.

Soon, a construction team of at least 100 people came to Bianliang, and they brought the construction methods of the Dinghai Navy and a large number of new materials.

In Zhao Xin's opinion, he couldn't give the concubine a better life, and for more than half a year, the money was given millions of guan, or even tens of millions, but according to him, the money didn't stay too much here in Renzong, and almost all of them were in the hands of the third division in a certain period of time.

Of course, Renzong will not leave nothing at all, he and the concubine are not extravagant people, they will not spend indiscriminately, and the little thing left is just to make life a little better.

Not to mention Zhao Xin, who is the envoy of the festival, even if he is still a prince, and even Zhao Xin, who is made a prince, it is impossible to affect the lives of Renzong and the concubine, he can only watch, maybe after a while, give Renzong some funds, even if it is squeezed by Ye Qingchen, there will be some benefits.

Now, the house of this provincial pro-family is lived by the concubine, even if it is only for a few days, but the Miao Mansion is in the capital, and it is comfortable to live, every few years, according to the custom, it is a good choice to live for a few days.

Zhao Xin has spent a lot of effort to produce, as a historian, historical grave digging is the industry, but ancient buildings are also a channel, through ancient buildings and some inscriptions and the like, to understand that period of history, but also to study history, a common method.

Zhao Xin was very familiar with the mansion, of course he would not build the Northern Song Dynasty, or the older ones, but was more inclined to the mansions of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Strange stones and pavilions, flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty, but to the Ming and Qing dynasties is the peak, the later generations of those large mansions, basically are the Ming and Qing Dynasty big businessmen's mansions, full of history and beauty.

Zhao Xin was fortunate to visit, and also recorded some, of course, the time is too short, there is no time, to really get Taihu Lake stone and the like, the labor and money is not called, the current Dinghai, the daily progress of the gold, the income of the Bianliang shop in half a year, it is more than 30 million, and the stone gang of hundreds of thousands of is not a problem at all, as long as it costs money, it is not a lot of labor and money.

But there is not enough time, Zhao Xin estimates, at most half a year, the construction of the railway should be sooner rather than later, at least before the end of the year, it must be done, take advantage of the New Year, come to Bianliang here to have a look.

The price of Shi Gang or something, in Zhao Xin's opinion, is really not a problem, but it is not easy to really find the right one, and at the same time to integrate into the whole scenery, it needs to be carefully selected.

Fortunately, Zhao Xin doesn't care about this, he has a magic weapon, cement, although it is said that it is not the extent of hitting strange stones, but the image is enough, with cement products and shapes, constitute the basis of a garden, and then build a house similar to the Suzhou garden in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is not a problem at all.

Under Zhao Xin's big package, the Miao family repeatedly requested, and after Zhao Xin was unmoved, he finally agreed, and it took four months until it was built according to this.

If there is a regret, that is, glass, at that time Zhao Xin did not know at all, when he came to Bianliang, whether the glass could be made well, whether the transparent glass window could appear, for the sake of conservatism, he could only choose the old arrangement.

Fortunately, the glass window itself is not a thing in the garden, and it is not a good match, so it is okay to use old-fashioned window paper.

When Zhao Xin came to Miao's house, he saw this arrangement, and there were still 5 days, which was the day when Miao Guifei returned home, that is, the day he wanted to see his mother, and he could only do his best to make the final corrections to this garden.

The garden is very satisfied, even if they don't have this experience, according to Zhao Xin's drawings and introduction, it still reveals the style of the Jiangnan garden, small bridges and flowing water, strange rockeries, houses hidden in the forest, and water pavilions that change the scenery step by step, which is the existence of fine carving.

However, Zhao Xin still found a problem, the interior decoration.

The previous drawings, the introduction, are only based on the outside, the inside, it is really Zhao Xin's omission, maybe some furniture has been created, but the feeling to Zhao Xin is a bit monotonous.

What should I do, Zhao Xin's face changed, although it was okay to take some brand-new things from the Miao family, but this garden is carefully designed, and many of these things are not very the same as this era.

Fortunately, he carried a large number of goods, including some cotton cloth printing and dyeing products, these things, used to decorate the interior, are still very good, plus all other items produced by the navy, Zhao Xin is sure that in two or three days, this place, the courtyard will be better arranged.

Knowing the arrival of Zhao Xin, the Miao family soon got the news, the construction of this garden has always been secret, until it was delivered to the Miao family, the Miao family was shocked, and they really felt the magic of Zhao Xin, in order to prevent accidents, there are special personnel guarding every day.

Zhao Xin's arrival, of course, alarmed these people, they didn't dare to slack off, who is Zhao Xin, the nominal heir, is their future head of the family, and also the highest title of the entire family, even if it is just a small place, but the real power is very large, and the most important thing is that he is rich.

Soon the heads of the Miao family arrived, and they came to Zhao Xin's side and immediately greeted each other with a big salute.

The attitude of the Miao family towards Zhao Xin is extremely respectful, especially the head of the Miao family, although it is said that in terms of identity, they should be Zhao Xin's grandparents and grandmothers, and their apparent identities are also grandparents, but the prince is different from his relatives, even if it is Zhao Xin, a prince who has lost his identity.

After several times of persuasion, there was no way, Zhao Xin simply stopped persuading, this is just an attitude, they have to insist, then there is no way.

The Miao family has undergone earth-shaking changes over the years, on the one hand, because of Zhao Xin's experience, and even eventually became the heir of the Miao family, if you want to be good to Zhao Xin, the Miao family can't get around.

Rongyang and Mengyin are also a lot, basically, what the entire top family in the Northern Song Dynasty enjoys, the Miao family enjoys.

In fact, the biggest change is in money.

Guogong is just an identity, let alone Guogong in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is a king, or even a prince, their fixed number for a year is not much, money may not be able to solve all problems, but after having money, it can solve most of the problems.

In the past, the Miao family was only the head of the family, or some people in the direct line, not because they didn't want to, they couldn't be raised, a lot of them were placed in the fiefdoms, and even farming, now, with the identity of a national prince, coupled with huge wealth, they almost brought all the branches, and almost all the surrounding blocks were bought by the Miao family to house these people.

There are more people, there are more talents, plus the shade, as long as there are a few generations of outstanding and a large and prosperous family, it will also be produced, which is the trajectory of the development of many nobles, and now, it has fallen on the head of the Miao family.

Tracing back to the origin, all of this was brought by Zhao Xin, whether it was the real identity or the actual benefits, these are the sources of Zhao Xin's status.
