Chapter 53: All Organs

When the bright moon woke up the next day, the sky was already bright, and the sky in Linzi after the clear was extremely blue, with wisps of white clouds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The plan of the day was in the morning, and after putting on his regular clothes with the help of Nuqi, he made an inspection of his new home.

Last night it was dark, so I couldn't see it clearly, but today the bright moon came out to take a look, only to find that the outside of this mansion looks dilapidated, but the inside is surprisingly large.

He learned from those Qi mouths yesterday that this mansion was built seventy or eighty years ago, and it was originally given to his youngest son, Jingguo Juntian Ying, by King Qi Wei. Jingguo Jun Tian Ying was originally a young son who followed Tian Ji and Sun Bin to fight with Pang Juan, and later, he also grew up to be a powerful minister of Qi State, and when it was passed to his son Meng Weijun, he was rich half of Qi State, and the harem was Qiluo, and the servants and concubines ate Liang meat, and raised a lot of guests, and the residence in Linzi was naturally very large.

Mingyue knew that after the implementation of the twentieth rank lord system in the Qin State, it was stipulated that "those who can get the first class will be rewarded with a first-class knight, one hectare of Yitian, and nine acres of Yizhai". It is estimated from this that the highest Guannei Hou and Che Hou can have 171 acres and 180 acres of houses respectively. The regulations of the Zhao State are similar, although the Pingyuan Jun family is rich, the area does not exceed the standard.

However, the mansions of Jing Guojun and Meng Weijun are far larger than those of the Che Marquis of Qin State, and after being divided into two, there are nearly 200 acres of land......

"So that the son knows that the old servant has carefully inspected this mansion yesterday, the wall is divided into four, the house is divided into four, the front yard is three, and the backyard is one ......."

The person who accompanied him around the garden was called Ning Zhiyuan, a temple man under Miao Xian, in his forties, with no beard under his chin, a pair of thin eyes, always accompanied by a smiling face, and looked very shrewd. This person was sent by Empress Dowager Zhao to help An Anjun manage his servants, and Mingyue also regarded him as the head of this new family, calling him "Ning Jian".

He nodded and said, "Eunuch Ning leads the way, I'll walk around the front yard first." ”

The first entrance of the front yard, in addition to the gatehouse of the lookout mountain, there is also a high dock wall, and the corner towers are arranged in the four corners, these semi-military watchtowers can usually be used by the master to climb high and overlook, take advantage of the cool and escape the heat, shoot and hunt Feihong, and play the role of defense and early warning in case of emergency, taking refuge and waiting for help.

Is this done to prevent thieves? In this Linzi City, and even in the entire Qi Kingdom, which bold thief dares to offend the mansion of the gang boss Meng Weijun?

It can be seen that the relationship between Jing Guojun, Meng Weijun and the Qi royal family is very delicate, so the mansion is built like an independent fortress, and a lot of armed personnel are arranged.

Now, Meng Weijun's Hakka retainers have long been missing, and the ten rangers recruited by Mingyue in Handan are guarding here, and there are five people in the gate, all holding bows, and five people patrolling back and forth in the mansion, all with swords.

In addition, there is also a team of soldiers sent by the Qi Palace outside the gate, but Mingyue can't say whether their mission is to monitor or protect?

Seeing that the lord came to inspect, under Lu Jujian's shouting, the light heroes who guarded the door immediately held their heads high, and Mingyue smiled: "I don't have any guests to visit for the time being, so you don't have to stand all the time, just sit on the stone pier next to the door." ”

Then, he asked Lu Jujian and the others if their food, clothing, and residence could be arranged, and asked Eunuch Ning to take him to have a look.

Walk along the corridors on both sides of the gate to the right, turn a few corners, pass by a few courtyard gates, and you will arrive at the courtyard for the light heroes and guests.

Compared with Mingyue's residence, this place is much simpler, there is a draft well outside, a simple earthen house, a black tile roof, the windows are not big, the furniture inside has long been removed or decayed, and now only ten thin mattresses are spread out on the earthen couch like a large chase. As you can imagine, by the time the winter comes, it will be unusually cold.

Mingyue was a little unhappy and said, "Why are you so shabby? It is still necessary to buy some furniture such as low tables quickly, and ask the craftsman to chisel a fireplace for heating. ”

Ning Jian promised, and Lu Jujian scratched his head and said: "Lord, this house is much stronger than the leaky and leaky dilapidated house of my house, our rangers should be used to being used as a bed every day, and they are used to sleeping in the open, how can they be so squeamish?" ”

Mingyue can't deny it: "Your family's house in Handan, I have already taken care of people to repair it, how well your mother lives, how good you can live in Qingxia, and there is a fish at every meal." ”

Lu Jujian was grateful again.

In addition to the residences of the rangers and other nursing staff, there are more than a dozen courtyards next to it, all of which are low black rooms, which are sheltered under high walls. It was for slaves and maidservants and erectors. After Mingyue glanced at it, her Adam's apple moved, but she didn't say anything, his generous corporal was not evenly distributed to everyone.

This is the situation when you enter the front yard of the house, and when you return to the front, you enter the second gatehouse that stands tall and double, which is the second entrance used to welcome guests.

The second entrance of the front yard as a place for the welcome banquet, naturally can not lose decency, the open hall, the main hall, the back room are unfolded one after another, using the central axis symmetry, highlighting the identity and prestige of the lord of the manor. But see the cascading undulating roof, the corner tower on the high wall, the main room is the top of the palace, tall and spacious, Zhu Pavilion Qihu, extremely magnificent, in addition, there is a kitchen for the master to buy dishes and feasts, because it is arranged in the east, so it is called "East Kitchen".

Eunuch Ning had helped Miao Xian manage his manor in Handan, so he was very experienced, and had already sent a few young men with clear eyebrows to greet him with a wat board under him, and when he went inside, there were also a group of servants sweeping the floor with brooms, and several boys sprinkling water to prevent dust.

Mingyue is very satisfied with this, it seems that Ning Jian is still somewhat capable, it only took a day of hard work to keep the huge mansion in order, and the personnel distribution is also very reasonable, fortunately there is such a housekeeper to help, otherwise he would not be too lazy to take care of these trivial matters.

Next is the third entry, that is, where Mingyue lived last night, surrounded by dense forests, the long corridor twists and turns, and there are hundreds of good houses, which are divided into several courtyards by low walls. You must know that Jing Guojun had hundreds of wives and concubines back then, and gave birth to more than 40 sons, each of whom had a small courtyard, which was barely enough, but after Mingyue moved in, the backyard seemed too empty.

"Luckily, there are no rumors of hauntings in this place, otherwise it would be a bit of a panic."

Mingyue secretly stuck out his tongue, he knew that Nuqi was cleaning the houses with a group of concubines today, and he didn't bother them, so he went straight out of the courtyard gate and walked to the backyard.

When he arrived in the backyard, he looked around, and found that there was a cave here.

……

In terms of area, the backyard is the largest, accounting for most of the entire mansion, and a pond is dug into the garden as the only living water in the house.

Not only that, but there are also wells, grain fields, stables, cattle pens, barns, mulberry forests, etc., which are scattered on both sides of the pond.

"This is the stable cattle pen next to it." Ning Jian was like a few treasures, and pointed them out to Mingyue one by one.

Hundreds of cars, hundreds of cattle and horses, and more than a dozen children and shepherd boys were loaded into it, but they only occupied one-third of the territory, Mingyue clearly knew that although he was a wealthy son, he was much inferior to Meng Weijun back then.

After leaving the garage, Ning Jian gestured to the open space next to him and said, "This piece is a pigsty, a chicken pot, a vegetable garden, and a warehouse. ”

At that time, this area must have resounded with the chirping of chickens and ducks, and the taste was touching, but after being empty for more than ten years, the livestock, poultry, and even the vegetables in the field and the grain in the warehouse were gone, and the rats living in it were hard to say that they had starved to death.

Only some rough Zhao Renli concubines are discussing something over there, laughing from time to time, Mingyue asked in the past, they hurriedly bowed, saying that they found that there are still some fatty fish in the pond, which can be fished up to make dishes, they are discussing whether to fish up some silt to fatten the land, sprinkle some green onions and leeks on it, and then find some pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to raise, in case of emergency.

As a mansion manor that has to entertain guests at any time and feed hundreds of people, these things are of course indispensable, and Mingyue asked Ning Jian to arrange this.

"And if there is food, you should also send someone to the market as soon as possible to buy it, but if there is any expenditure, just come and inform me."

Mingyue doesn't ask about these trivial matters, but he still holds the financial power firmly in his hands, after all, the time spent together is short, and it is difficult for him to trust others.

Next, when passing by several loess houses next to the granary, the tip of Mingyue's nose couldn't help but sniff.

He asked about the smell of pantothenic acid......

Supervisor Ning hurriedly said: "This is a wine-making workshop, when I inspected yesterday, I found that there was a wine cellar below, and the old servant asked people to move those wine tanks out, but who expected to break some of them. ”

Mingyue nodded, and didn't think it was strange, since the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi people have been fond of alcoholism, the son is the king, and the wine is high all the year round, and there is no one hundred and eighty jars of wine hidden at home, how can you be embarrassed to have a banquet? This time, among his servants, there seemed to be a few wine-making workers.

Next, they passed by the places of medicine and textiles, and by this time they had circled the buildings by the pond in the backyard, and came to the most empty wasteland in the east, but they saw that the ground was covered with fine sand, and the artemisia grass was everywhere, and there were arrow targets and shelves for placing weapons, but they were entangled with vines......

"This is the school grounds, and next to it is the arsenal, which is used to store armor soldiers, drill guests, and horse racing and archery."

Meng Weijun specializes in handing over the world's heroes, and most of the guests are brave rangers from various countries, who are local and compare themselves to heroes, and it is normal to open up a large school field of hundreds of steps to practice martial arts.

After looking at the mansion, Mingyue couldn't help but think: "This mansion is not small, and it has all kinds of organs, and it can be completely self-contained." Just inside this house, under the shelter of the high walls, I have so much to do! ”

Needless to say, those places for brewing, pharmaceutical, textile, and farming, if they are well repaired, it is enough for Mingyue to work on many small inventions behind closed doors, without wasting precious time, and will not be known by outsiders. As for the arsenal of this school, Zhao Kuo can also be allowed to train soldiers......

Just thinking about it, Mingyue heard a burst of talking, and when she looked back, it was Zhao Kuo and Shu Qi who came back.

Zhao Kuo did not enter the palace yesterday, but took the hundred Zhao soldiers to the south of the city to settle down, Mingyue was afraid that he would be impatient and cause trouble, so he asked Shu Qi to watch him. It stands to reason that the process of entering the city should be handled today, and the soldiers should be stationed in the Proton Mansion, but looking at Zhao Kuo's angry appearance, it doesn't seem to be going well?

Sure enough, after walking up to him and bowing to Mingyue hastily, Zhao Kuo complained indignantly:

"Chang'anjun, Kuang Liang, the city gate official of Linzi, deliberately made it difficult to prevent the soldiers from entering the city!"
