Chang Yu followed Qi Rui to board the carriage and traveled eastward for an hour, and came to Anding Street, where the mansion of the eldest prince was at the end of Anding Street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Crossing the busy Anding Street, you can see the huge mansion in the distance, which is a quarter the size of the Golden Gate.

The street in front of the mansion is lined with houses, but it is obviously deserted, and there are very few pedestrians.

When Chang Yu and his party arrived, he had a bad feeling in his heart, Chang Yu had already thought about people, and when he observed carefully, he found that he had been secretly observed by these pedestrians several times.

But he looked at Qi Rui's casual appearance, and wondered in his heart, so he carefully observed these pedestrians.

Under Chang Yu's careful observation, he found that these pedestrians were indeed a little strange.

Among them, they either stood in a certain place with their swords in their hands, looking around vigilantly, or playing chess on the side of the road in pairs, but their eyes did not look around at all, not at all like ordinary passers-by wandering on the road, but as if they were guarding this place.

Seeing Qi Rui smiling and silent, Chang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Lord Xiangguo, are these people the disciples of the eldest prince?" ”

"Haha, Brother Chang has a good eye and can see at a glance that something is wrong." Qi Rui showed a gentle smile and said, "These are indeed the disciples of the eldest prince, but they are not the core disciples of the eldest prince. ”

Does the doorman still have the saying that the nuclear is not the core?

Before Chang Yu could ask, Qi Rui continued, "There are eight hundred doormen in Gongzi's mansion, and there are countless capable people, but not everyone is a powerful person, so Gongzi divides these doormen into three classes, and each class of doormen enjoys different treatment. The third-class doormen lived in the dwellings on the outside of the mansion, with the largest number of people, about 500 people, mainly responsible for guarding and monitoring and other tasks, and most of them were ordinary warriors. The second-class guests live in the outer courtyard of the Gongzi's mansion, and the monthly salary and treatment are also better, and there are about 200 people, mainly some cultivators and debaters, of course, there are some capable people with skills. The first-class guest was regarded as a guest by the eldest prince, living in the inner courtyard of the mansion, with the best treatment, and the number of people was only a few dozen, all of whom were famous people who traveled from all over the world, masters of the school, and real martial arts masters. For example, Mr. Zhou Shi and Wu Lishi are the first-class guests in the Gongzi's mansion, and the rest of the doormen, I believe that Brother Chang will have the opportunity to meet later. ”

Chang Yu listened to Qi Rui's introduction, and walked towards the mansion and found that the inside and outside of the mansion were indeed very different.

The layout of the Prince's Mansion presents the shape of "Hui", from the outside to the inside, it is the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, separated by the wall, and each floor is different.

The outer courtyard of Gongzi's Mansion, although it is also a house connected together, is a delicate side-by-side wooden house, scattered, distributed between the rockery and the artificial trickle, quite interesting, compared with the simple wooden house on Anding Street, just like the commercial house and the civilian house, the living conditions are indeed not at the same level.

These doormen who live in the outer courtyard are obviously much better dressed than the doormen on the street, with pleasant expressions, talking and laughing, and looking thriving.

Walk through the gate of the inner courtyard, go to the inner courtyard, the mountains and rocks are covered, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the attics of two or three storeys high are distributed all around, and the attics are connected to each other by bluestone roads, leading to a huge courtyard in the middle, constituting a star-like layout, showing the unique ingenuity of the designer.

There are so many of these attics, it seems that they are the residences of first-class guests, compared to the side-by-side wooden houses in the outer courtyard, this is simply a big villa, Chang Yu couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Although the eldest prince's management method for the classification of 800 doormen is a bit snobbish, but the talented doormen can get more generous treatment, and it will also form an incentive mechanism among the doormen, encouraging all the doormen to work hard for the main public and avoid eating a big pot of rice, otherwise, just raising such 800 people, eating and drinking in the house for nothing, I don't know how much it will cost for a year.

This method is indeed much more clever than the practice of some powerful people who do not distinguish between talents and abilities and unify their dependents.

Chang Yu remembered some of the statements of later historians about the monks of the Warring States Period.

The most famous of the Warring States monks is the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, namely Wei Wuji, the Xinling Jun of Wei, Zhao Sheng, the Pingyuan Jun of Zhao, Huang Xie, the Chunshenjun of Chu, and Meng Weijun Tianwen of Qi.

But these four people, the style of the monk is different.

Among them, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji is the most honest, as long as the talent can be used by me, I am willing to appoint only the talent regardless of the background of the comer.

But Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is a person who does not have the vision to identify talents, but blindly loves talents, he has always looked down on people in the market, but he regards those who are invested in his door as guests. There was even a time when a doorman asked him to kill Pingyuanjun's concubine who glared at him, and Pingyuanjun actually cut off the head of his concubine and gave it to the doorman. The exaggeration of the approach is jaw-dropping.

As for Chunshenjun Huang Xie, I heard that he is a person who likes to "rich" the doormen, and among the three thousand doormen, they all wear gold and silver, and they are extremely noble, which makes other visitors very envious.

There is also Meng Weijun Tianwen, who does not refuse to come to the door, three religions and nine streams, chivalrous market, and everyone has it. The rooster and dog thief that later generations said were the two doormen in Meng Weijun's house, one was good at learning chicken crowing, and the other was good at drilling dog holes to steal things. Meng Yanjun was sealed in Xue Di in Qi State, and he ate 10,000 households, but because he had to support his diners, the expenses were huge, and there were special people in the house to lend money and collect debts for him, which shows that there is really no shortage of people among Meng Yanjun's customers.

However, now Tian Wen is no longer in Qi State. After King Min of Qi ascended the throne, he had a discordant relationship with Tian Wen, who served as Xiangguo, and at the instigation of the villain, Tian Wen left Qi and defected to Wei with 3,000 guests.

Although the Warring States period was prevalent in raising scholars, how much benefit could these disciples really bring to the master.

When Chang Yu passed by the outer courtyard, he also saw many doormen sleeping and napping in the courtyard, but I am afraid that many of the eldest prince's mansions are also here to mess around.

However, the morale of high-ranking officials and nobles is sometimes no longer the demand for talents, and there is another layer of hypocritical pursuit, that is, coveting the name of good talents, and flaunting their reputation through the number of customers.

Of course, this kind of flaunting cost is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In the future, if I have the opportunity to cultivate my own power, I don't want to pursue this kind of false name in vain, Chang Yu said in his heart.

"The mansion of the eldest prince is designed by a doorman on the house, Xue Xing, the layout of the mansion is like the principle of heaven and law, and at the same time, it has the elements of becoming a defensive fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is in Puyang City, in addition to Zhaoge Palace, the mansion of the eldest prince is the most solid mansion." Qi Rui's introduction pulled Chang Yu back from his contemplation.

"It seems that this disciple of Childe must have won the true inheritance of someone." Chang Yu said casually.

"Haha, Brother Chang just said that he was about to get there, and Xue Xing happened to be studying under Master Luban from Chu State. The Lu Ban faction has two peerless studies, one is a mechanism that rivals the Mo family, and the other is the world's leading architecture, and the world-famous Zhanghuatai of the Chu State was transformed by Lu Ban himself. Qi Rui said.

Qi Rui said Zhanghuatai, Chang Yu naturally knows a little, Zhanghuatai is a palace built by the King of Chu more than 100 years ago, Zhanghuatai is more than ten zhang high, it is simply a more than ten storey high-rise buildings in later generations, even the King of Chu wants to climb the top of Zhanghuatai, he has to rest three times in the middle to walk.

Zhanghua Taizhong is full of beautiful women and wine, dedicated to the pleasure of the king of Chu, and its wine pool is like a forest of luxury, which is far from being comparable to the Tongquetai in later generations.

But it is said that the new king of Chu, the king of Chu Xiang, the project is strong, has spent a lot of national strength, ordered Lu Ban to rebuild Zhanghuatai, under the door of Master Luban, what Zhanghuatai has become now, I am afraid that only in Chu can know.

But what made Chang Yu more interested was the disciple of Lu Ban mentioned by Qi Rui, when he saw some of the mechanisms and weapons designed by Lu Ban's faction in Liuyun Pavilion that day, he had long admired the mechanism technique, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Ban's disciple here.

"I don't know if Xue Xingke is still in the eldest prince's mansion?" Chang Yu asked expectantly.

Qi Rui shook his head and sighed, "Two years ago, the Wei State captured Shangcai in the Chu State, which led to discord between the two countries, and Lu Ban of the Chu State did not allow the disciples of the sect to stay in the Great Wei State, and my Xiaowei State has a close relationship with the Great Wei State, so it is naturally within this range. Xue Xing originally served as the chief guest of my little country in addition to being a guest in the eldest prince's mansion. After Xue Xing left, this vacant position became vacant, and later the eldest prince looked for suitable talents everywhere, and only then did he find Dou Hong of the Mo family to take up this position. ”

Chang Yu thought of Dou Hong, who was dressed like a countryman and had a stocky figure, and said in his heart, it turned out that there was this story behind it.

"Brother Chang! You're here! A voice came from afar, and Chang Yu looked up, it was Zi Nanyang who led several doormen behind him, coming head-on.
