Chapter 181: Wangfu~

What happened in Beijing, Zhu Changluo, who was far away in Nanzhili, was naturally not clear, so he didn't know that he inadvertently owed Chen Ju a big favor, you know, even Zhu Changluo didn't expect that Xu Hongyin would choose to send his performance to Jingshi in a hurry, but Zhou Shixuan's performance was transferred through a normal post station, so it was inevitable that it would be a few days late.

It can be said that if it weren't for Chen Ju breaking into Yude Palace and interrupting the proceedings as soon as he received the note, it is still unknown what the outcome of the matter would have been in the end, after all, it is really rare for the court to change overnight, most of the time, in order to maintain the prestige of the imperial court, even if it is a wrong policy and edict, once it is implemented, it must be implemented!

But Zhu Changluo must not know these things, in fact, on the second day after the song was sent out, Zhu Changluo set off to return to Taiping Mansion, but this time it was obviously different from the last cold and deserted, when Zhu Changluo returned to the city, it was no longer those big cats and kittens who came to greet him, and the prefect Liu Shouyou and a group of subordinate officials were all guarding the city gate, which was enough for Zhu Changluo's face.

However, in this regard, although Zhu Changluo seemed to be uncontrollably happy on his face, he actually had no waves in his heart.

Although it is said that others are in Yingtianfu, but Wang Daoheng is there, it is not a problem to borrow the news channel of Jinyiwei, so he has been in contact with Wang An, this Liu Shouyou has been testing Wang An more than once, saying that the silk of Ping'an Mansion is exquisite and gorgeous, and he hopes to use silk to discount commercial taxes to the palace in the future, for which he has really given Wang An a lot of benefits......

Maybe if you change someone, you will be blindfolded by Liu Shouyou, after all, Taiping Mansion is indeed rich in silk, and the textile industry is quite developed, and the Liu family even has cloth to pay tribute to the imperial court, which shows its superiority.

But the problem is that Liu Shouyou's trick has already been used by the imperial court!

In the early years of Wanli, the country's finances were tight, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant at that time, used this trick, but the name was changed, and it was a civil official group at that time.

In short, the country has no money, so it takes valuables to convert it into a lu, pepper in this era, it is an out-and-out luxury, there is no silver and no food in the treasury, but there is pepper and sumu, so Zhang Juzheng simply took these things as a salary.

Of course, the civil officials on the bright side couldn't say anything, after all, the value of pepper and sumu was there, but the problem was that this thing couldn't be eaten or drunk, and it was originally worth a little money, but under Zhang Juzheng's forced dumping, the value suddenly shrank a lot, and at that time, there were even examples of low-level officials who relied on Yulu to live with pepper and sumu to starve to death.

But this is all in the early years, Zhang Juzheng has only done a period of time to save the emergency, and the pepper Sumu is also folded into seventy percent of pepper and three percent of grain, but now Liu Shouyou can be punished for his heart!

He actually wanted to convert eighty percent of the taxes that should be given to the royal palace into silk, yes, silk is good, but the question is why does he want so much silk?

And Zhang Juzheng was still conscientious at the time, and when he converted, he was converted to officials at a price lower than the market price, but now, hehe, the biggest silk dyeing and weaving merchant in this Taiping Mansion is their Liu family, according to what price, it is not up to them to decide?

No wonder Liu Shouyou wants to please himself and buy Wang An so sparingly, it turned out that he had this idea, anyway, as long as his treacherous plan succeeds, he will earn back tenfold and hundredfold!

Who is this official of the imperial court? It's clearly a naked profiteer!

Although he was disdainful in his heart, Zhu Changluo still responded to his face and behaved like a young man who was happy with his achievements, after all, one set in front of him and one behind him was the necessary quality of a person who played politics, not to mention that if he didn't do this, how could Liu Shouyou be willing to do things for him?

Well, at least when he saw such a magnificent palace, Zhu Changluo felt that his hypocrisy was not in vain!

Under the eye, the whole palace is eight miles away, in addition to the periphery of the Xiao wall, the area of the inner house alone has a radius of five miles, the north gate in front of him is the main gate of five rooms and three open, there are more than 30 steps in front of the door alone, the green jade marble pavement, the pedestal is six feet high, the gate is painted with Zhu, the railing is painted gold, the two majestic lions in front of the door open their teeth and claws, outside the steps, there is a street six zhang away, and there are no people living in it.

Rao is used to seeing the grandeur of the imperial city by Zhu Changluo, but he still can't help but be shocked, in comparison, his house in the capital is simply scum!

Whether it is the area or the decoration, it is completely killed!

No wonder everyone says that Comrade Lao Zhu treats his children and grandchildren very favorably, this palace alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to build it without hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and it is no wonder that when he was in the capital, the cheap father was not even willing to build a palace for him, it was really ...... It's too much money!

If it weren't for the fact that the money was spent from the household department in Nanjing this time, with Zhu Changluo himself, even if he was qualified to build it, he wouldn't be able to afford it!

Slightly stunned, Zhu Changluo hesitated and looked at Wang An who was triumphant beside him.

"Wang An, this ...... Isn't it a bit of a violation......"

In fact, it is not to blame Zhu Changluo for his weak heart, it is really that the grandeur of the building in front of him is far beyond his imagination, even if it is the emperor's palace, it is only so, although he has also seen the regulations of the palace in the classics before, but after all, he has not seen the real thing, and the model on the drawings is far from having the impact of seeing it with his own eyes.

What's more, even if it's the Prince's Mansion, this is a little inconsistent with the regulations, and this area alone is a lot more than that......

"Your Royal Highness don't worry, the slave maid has verified it in many ways, the regulation of this palace is very different from the Hongwu period, the mansions built by the princes over the years, all of them are bigger than this, that is, the Zhou Wangfu built by Emperor Taizu at the time, the regulations are much bigger than this, no one dares to chirp crookedly at this point, Your Royal Highness can rest assured, and this mansion is built by the slave maid herself, it is definitely built according to the will of His Royal Highness, Concubine Gong Niangniang is also very satisfied, you hurry up, don't let Niangniang wait for a hurry......"

Compared with Zhu Changluo, Wang An was much calmer, and said with a chuckle.

In fact, it is true, in the Wanli Dynasty, even businessmen dare to wear silk and satin, and a Fengqing money village dares to build a house with the regulations of the seven-grade officials.

Zhu Changluo's mansion can only be regarded as ordinary, you must know that even the Zhou Wang's Mansion built during the Hongwu period, which was the tightest investigation, is larger than his.

After a slight fixation, Zhu Changluo no longer bothered about this matter, and strode towards the main gate, after all, he had stayed in Yingtianfu for nearly a month, and now the Wang family had already arrived in the Taiping Mansion and lived in the palace...... (To be continued.) )
