"Well, this is a new training method that Hongu got from a hermit master, as for the effect? Lone has personally experienced it, and the effect is not bad, so in the future, you will follow this above, and if you don't know anything, you can ask this palace. Well, from today onwards, Hongu will also train with you. ”

Sima Shu saw that they were still a little hesitant, so he had to use his identity to force them to carry it out, anyway, when the effect came out in the future, they would not have so many doubts.

"This ...... All right! Since it is ordered by His Highness, then the ministers will do it! After hesitating for a moment, Sima Ya and the others felt that they had just arrived, and they couldn't refute the prince's face as soon as they came, otherwise they would not get along well in the future.

After getting rid of Sima Ya and Xu Chao, Sima Shu's new military reform took the most critical step, and soon the 311 people of the escort team began a new training plan under Sima Shu's supervision.

Since then, every day the people in the Huangzhuang come together in the morning to hear the sound of people running around the Huangzhuang, and shouting while running: "One, two, one...... One two three four! ”

At the end of the morning training, Sima Shu handed over the escort to Sima Ya and the others, and he began to patrol the imperial village. At present, there are only 2,000 households in the entire Imperial Village, and the total number of people is about 15,000, and the number of strong laborers is only 3,000.

Relying on this person could not meet the long-standing assumption in Sima Shu's mind, and the most important thing now was how to plunder more people from the local wealthy clans. Although the Western Jin Dynasty had just been established not long ago, the problem of land annexation was already very serious, and 80% of the land in the world was occupied by families, wealthy families, and officials, and ordinary people either became slaves of wealthy families or rented land from wealthy families, and real homesteaders almost did not exist.

Emperor Wu Sima Yan once issued an order to restrict land annexation in response to this situation, but unfortunately Sima Yanzhi was talented and didn't know what there was a policy and a countermeasure at all, he wanted to rely on the officials of the family to implement the policy of restricting the family, I really don't know whether to say that he has a low IQ, or think that the family is a fool.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to get some people!"

In the early morning of the next day, Sima Shu followed the guards to complete the usual training. Originally, the guards were still a little complaining, but when they saw that the young prince had completed all the training meticulously, the others were embarrassed to complain again, so they could only grit their teeth and insist silently.

The house finally returned to its former calm, and Manager Liu and Lu Zhu were also used to the current life. It's just that after Sima Shu moved to Huangzhuang, there were a lot fewer people around him, and Manager Liu reminded His Royal Highness many times to recruit more people into the mansion on errands.

But they were all excused by Sima Shu and resigned, there was no way to find someone early in the morning today, and this problem had to be solved no matter what.

Sima Shu got up as usual, trained, and then returned to the courtyard, and suddenly found that the courtyard was full of new faces, "Little Dengzi, where did all these people come from?" What about the Steward? He asked Xiao Deng Zi beside him.

"Your Highness, these are all selected by the chief from the villages around the Imperial Village, and they are going to be on an errand in the mansion, and they are brought over today to show Your Highness, these are all from the white family!"

The recent experience, Xiao Deng Zi was like a dream, and between the ups and downs, he understood that although His Royal Highness was small, he was not easy to fool, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"You people who don't have long eyes, Your Highness has come out, and you haven't stepped forward to say goodbye, do you want to be beaten?" Xiao Dengzi shouted to a group of busy people in the courtyard again.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is early!"

Hearing Xiao Dengzi's shout, the people in the courtyard all gathered around and greeted Sima Shu. Manager Liu's status in the mansion is transcendent, even Sima Shu respects him, and all the affairs in the mansion are under his control, but he rarely interferes, and the chores fall on Xiao Dengzi, who dares to slack off.

Sima Shu waved his hand and let them disperse, "Well, have the people in the outer courtyard also changed?" Sima Shu asked again.

"Yes, from the steward to the miscellaneous servants, they are all personally selected by the chief manager, and they are all arranged!" Little Deng Zi replied.

Sima Shu was relieved after hearing this, in the future, if someone wants to infiltrate and arrange eyeliner, it is not something that can be done in a while, and he should be very safe during this time. At the same time, I also got to know Mr. Liu again, this old man is not as simple as it seems, and in just a few days, he arranged manpower from the inside to the outside without panic.

After eating, Sima Shu went to the main hall accompanied by Mr. Liu, and accepted the invitation of the new manager, according to the current saying, the leader and the new employee got to know each other, so as not to let the leader go to the door, and not let the misunderstanding in the house.

First of all, three chief stewards of the outer courtyard came in to speak, and they were respectively in charge of the expenditure (in charge of the expenditure), the finance department (in charge of the storage of money and silk), and the warehouse department (in charge of the storage of grain). Then there are a few small stewards under them, such as treasurers, craftsmen, pastors, and cooks, who are regarded as managers with positions and receive annual salaries.

At last the most people came in, men and women, old and young, and there were hundreds of them, kneeling in the dark under the hall, all of them were feeding horses, planting flowers, driving chariots, carrying sedan chairs, cooking, watchmen, carpenters, blacksmiths, and other miscellaneous laborers. Among them, the kitchen is the focus, they have the most people, there are more than ten people, working in the large kitchen and the small kitchen, the large kitchen is the common authentic kitchen, and the small kitchen is generally a dedicated kitchen. There are also four staff members in the tea room, whose task is to pour tea and water for those who come to the house, and internally to decoction medicine and tonic food for the sick in the house.

There are more than 20 people, each of whom is young and strong, and this group of people is divided into two groups, east and west, and takes turns to watch the night and patrol and sweep the inner and outer courtyards in the early morning. Cleaning and sanitation in the house, tidying up the warehouse, and other tasks that require manual labor can be ordered to be done by the person who changes the house at any time. These people all belong to the contract system, the minimum is more than five years, usually have to take care of food and clothing, and pay some wages, they are the lowest people in the house, and they are also the most bitter and tired people.

Looking at a group of people respectfully saluting in front of him, Sima Shu looked at these people below with a smile, and sighed in his heart, this is the beauty of power, although he is only a half-old, but his identity is the prince, he can easily control the fate of these people and decide their blessings and misfortunes, this is the beauty of the second generation of officials.

"Chief, this time we have summoned so many people at once, is the money we brought enough money?" Sima Shu knew that his family background was very thin, and if he accidentally broke the property, then he would be happy.

Manager Liu didn't expect that the once extravagant prince also knew how to care about money, and in the past, Sima Shu never worried about the problem of insufficient money in addition to caring about spending money. Anyway, when there is no money, Sima Shu borrows debts everywhere, and every month Xie Jiu Niangniang has to make up for the prince. Looking at the prince who knows how to save now, Manager Liu smiled with relief:

"Your Highness, we don't have to worry about this now, when we left from Luoyang before, the pocket money rewarded by His Majesty alone was 500,000 yuan, plus the gifts given by Guangcheng Jun and the ministers of the court, we earned nearly one million yuan just for receiving gifts."

"With this money, it is enough for the expenses of the people in the palace for decades, plus from next year, the income of the imperial village will also be at our disposal, as long as we manage it carefully, it is enough to meet all aspects of His Highness's expenses."

"Yes, so that the palace can rest assured, you are not allowed to spend the lonely money, otherwise the palace will beat you!" Sima Shu pointed to the three stewards in the outer courtyard and said seriously, it's not that he is stingy, but that what Sima Shu has to do is too expensive, and he doesn't want a big rat to appear under him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will spend money for His Highness's purpose, and we will never spend it indiscriminately!" When the chief steward saw the prince say this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Okay, let Manager Liu explain the rest to you, and Gu won't be involved." After speaking, Sima Shu jumped down from the couch and ran out, and Xiao Dengzi hurriedly saluted to Manager Liu, and hurriedly ran out with the prince.

Seeing the prince's frizzy appearance, Manager Liu frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, it seems that he has to discuss with the two commanders, and let them equip the prince with a few agile masters, and follow the prince step by step.

At this time, Sima Shu, who had already run outside, didn't know that someone was worried about his safety, and now he was about to discuss something with the craftsmen, these hundreds of craftsmen were all brought by Sima Shu from Luoyang City, and they were all arranged by him in the Huangzhuang.

He divided these craftsmen into bricklayers, blacksmiths, porcelain burners, etc., according to their respective specialties, and even Sima Shu found a craftsman who could mint coins.

After arranging the craftsmen, Sima Shu was idle again, and he began to wander around the Huangzhuang again, but in addition to Xiao Dengzi, he was followed by two sturdy guards. The new stewards were indeed experts, and the affairs of the house were quickly started, and after renting grain and storing it, they immediately began to raise the fence and renovate the courtyard, and the weather was gradually getting cooler.

On this day, Sima Shu had lunch and walked around the garden twice, when he suddenly saw a few people busy in front of the rockery, turned his face and said to Xiao Dengzi: "Little Dengzi, what are they doing?" Let's go and see! ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to go over, the slaves and maids know what they are doing, they are building a greenhouse, otherwise some precious flowers and plants in the house will not be able to survive the winter!"

"Huh? Building a conservatory? Sima Shu was very surprised, in ancient times, there was no glass, how did the ancients solve the temperature of the greenhouse? And the question of lighting?

In fact, Sima Shu did not know that Huaxia began to build greenhouses from a very early age, and Qin Shi Huang took advantage of the many hot springs at the foot of Lishan Mountain to grow melons and fruits at the foot of Lishan Mountain in winter, so that Confucian scholars could go to watch.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it has accumulated rich experience in winter cultivation of vegetable technology, and has reached a high level. The famous historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Jia Bangu wrote in the "Hanshu Zhaoxinchen Biography": "Taiguan Garden planted winter onions and leeks, covered with roofs, lit a fire day and night, and waited for the warmth to be born. The faithful thought that this was an occasional thing, and that it was not suitable to be offered to others, but that it was illegal food, and that it would save tens of millions of years. ”

From this, it can be seen that in ancient times, it was not that there was no warm house, but because the cost was too large, ordinary people could not afford it, so the warm house could only be used in the royal family and some families.
