"Young master, master, please come over!"

Before separating from Qin Butcher, Qin Yong had agreed with him to meet at the city gate after three hours.

As a result, when Qin Yong returned there with his two wives, the Qin butcher was still nowhere to be seen. He just sent a subordinate to get here, saying that he had something to ask him over.

"Uh, what's the matter?"

Qin Yong listened and asked helplessly.

Because, it was not early now, and if they didn't rush back, it would probably be dark before they returned to the town outside the city.

The night of this era is different from the later electric age, there are no street lights on the road, especially outside the city, there is not even an oil lamp, not a single lantern.

Of course, if you can plan ahead and prepare a good torch in advance, then you can also light up a little.

However, even if there were torches, the road would be extremely difficult. Moreover, there are no other fierce birds and beasts in the wild, so people in this era, if there is no forced circumstance, they will definitely not choose to walk at night.

"Little ...... The small ones are not clear. However, before the master sent the little one back, he had already taken a good look at a house! ”

Hearing Qin Yong's question, the subordinate quickly spoke.

Hearing him say this, Qin Yong's heart suddenly understood a little, it seemed that this father of his wanted to ask him to go to see if the house was to his liking. After all, according to Butcher Qin, this mansion in Bianliang City was bought specifically for himself, as for him. In the future, I still need to return to Yangzhou to "preside" my own business.

It turned out that the father and son had already made arrangements in advance for their visit to Beijing. Therefore, in a short period of time, if the Qin butcher wants to leave Yangzhou. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you leave for a long time, it won't work.

And the critical point of this time is about half a year, and in this half year, their Qin family's industry in Yangzhou should not be greatly affected, after all, most of the things. Qin Butchers have already made arrangements in advance.

Moreover, as a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou City, he also has a group of trusted henchmen. Therefore, the departure of this half a year will not have much impact. However, if it is too long, it will not work.

Because. Every once in a while, he always needs to know the income and expenditure of various industries. By the way, it is also to examine whether the work of each henchman is in place, after all, although this henchman is a confidant, he is always an outsider. If he didn't have some containment measures, how would he dare to let them be in charge of the operation of an industry?

Since it's to see the house. Let's go! So, Qin Yong and his party followed the subordinate and quickly entered the city again. It's just that this time, the distance is not small, anyway, in Qin Yong's opinion, they have at least traveled through most of Bianliang City! Fortunately, their carriage was already in the city, so if you go in a carriage. It's not too tiring.

"Uncle, Miss, look! You see, is that a royal palace? ”

The carriage had been traveling for almost half an hour, at this time. The chess, who had been leaning against the window and watching the scenery outside, suddenly turned around and said.

"The Imperial Palace?"

Hearing this, Qin Yong was slightly stunned.

He naturally knew that there was a palace compound in this Bianliang City, and if it was called in the Qing Dynasty, it would be the "Forbidden City". However, he never thought that he would see this palace compound in such a short time after arriving in Bianliang City.

After all, this so-called palace compound is where the current emperor lives. That is, the most important and sensitive area in the whole world, so Qin Yong has always felt that its body is shrouded in a layer of mystery.

But he didn't expect that today, on top of this ordinary carriage, he would have the opportunity to see the style of the palace compound!

"Uh...... It's really a palace compound! However, this guard is too loose! ”

Qin Yong was curious, so he naturally immediately went to the front of the car window to look at the appearance. And as a result, he really saw a high wall, and on the high wall, dragon flags were flying, and it was obvious that this was a palace. And under the high wall, there is a palace gate that weighs at least 1,000 catties, and in front of the palace gate, there are dozens of forbidden troops wearing armor. However, apart from this, Qin Yong had never seen any other garrison measures, so even an ordinary carriage of unknown origin like theirs could drive at will on a dirt and gravel road less than a hundred zhang away from the palace gate. It felt as if they weren't afraid of someone else coming to sneak up on them.

Actually, there is something about this, but Qin Yong himself misunderstood! That's right, many palace compounds in history, the distance from the people, how far away is it. Because, the emperors of these dynasties, the relationship with the people is insoluble, and they are always worried about whether they will be subverted or usurped, so they all built high-walled iron cities, which are bound to ensure their safety to the greatest extent, and even sometimes, the area within a radius of more than 300 zhang in the palace compound is classified as a forbidden area.

Of course, the Great Zhou Dynasty was not one of those dynasties. Due to the extremely high relationship of the commodity economy and the literati ethos, there were not many social contradictions in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. And the people don't have many complaints about the royal family, so the emperor is naturally much more relaxed about this regard! In fact, since the Great Zhou Dynasty began hundreds of years ago, there has been no such thing as usurping the throne for a long time, so even if there is no prince in the Son of Heaven today, the court is still calm as usual.

Of course, if you want to say that the current Son of Heaven really does not have the slightest precaution against this, it is impossible. In fact, today's court adopts a strategy called "loose on the outside and tight on the inside". Outside the palace, where the people could see, the guards of the palace were negligible. Even a dirt and stone road not far in front of the palace is still the main road that the people of the entire Bianliang City walk on a daily basis.

However, how many people know that inside the palace compound. The elite of the forbidden army deployed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has no less than 3,000 people, plus those who can walk in the harem with knives and wait for guards, the Great Zhou Palace is less than 100,000 square meters, which has a garrison force of nearly 5,000 meters.

So. If an ordinary rabble wanted to capture the palace, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream. And even a veteran of a hundred battles who has been on the battlefield and fought a vicious battle, if he wants to defeat the garrison of these 5,000 people in a short time, it will be extremely difficult. And less than five miles on both sides of this palace, there are two elite forbidden armies with a number of 20,000 people each carefully guarding them. Therefore, as long as the 5,000-strong garrison in the palace has survived the earliest period of reaction, the elite of the forbidden army of up to 40,000 people can come in to support at any time.

Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Qin Yong now. He was just wondering in his heart now. My father looked at the house, how did he see this palace compound coming? Could it be that this mansion will be in the palace?

Of course, it was impossible, in fact, they were just passing by the palace compound. Even Qin Yong himself didn't expect that he would become a frequent visitor to this palace compound in the future.

"Young Master, it's almost here. The old man is in the house in front of him. ”

After about a thousand meters from the side of the palace, the carriage turned into another avenue.

This avenue is extremely wide, and on both sides of the avenue, you can see a huge mansion one after another, and in front of the mansion are all mighty stone lions. The gate behind the stone lion is even more magnificent, with books such as "Ma Mansion", "Zhang Mansion", "Qi Mansion" and so on.

Qin Yong was even in front of a palace gate and saw the elite of the forbidden army similar to the front of the palace gate, and they were also wearing armor. The same is the same as the air and the magnificence, the difference is that the number of people is a little less than in front of the palace gate, about twenty people. Look at the plaque hanging on the door, which reads "Jin Wangfu" in a dignified manner. As a result, Qin Yong was "shocked".

No, a royal mansion is also on this avenue. What kind of place is this area? Also, what kind of house is that house that my father has his eye on?

"Any idea where this is? Also, why is even the Jin Palace's Mansion here? ”

Qin Yong thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask the subordinate who came to guide the way.

"Young master, the little one is not too clear. However, according to the middleman, this is the best location in Beijing. Generally, the people who live here are not relatives of the emperor, but the civil and military generals of the court.

"Ugh! The best location? That's probably the most expensive, right? ”

Qin Yong was speechless. It's kind of in line with his father's style. Also, what kind of relatives are these neighbors, civil ministers and military generals, doesn't that mean that this is actually an official residence? But how could this mansion be sold? Moreover, there are no conditions for an ordinary wealthy businessman to be able to buy it? If there's nothing greasy about this, then there's a ghost.

"Yes, young master! I heard from the middleman that the price of this house is at least 5,000 taels of gold! ”

The subordinates may have felt that Qin Yong's fright today was not enough, so another big news broke out.

"What...... What the? Five thousand taels of gold? ”

Qin Yong was really "stunned". Isn't 5,000 taels of gold equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver? That's a shocking amount.

In fact, although their Qin father and son are rich in Yangzhou City, all their net worth added together is only about 10,000 taels of gold. The cash that can be used in normal times is only about three thousand taels. However, now a house needs 5,000 taels of gold? Oh my God, then their Qin family doesn't have to take out nearly half of the family property?

The reason why it is said to be nearly half is actually because of the income of the Qin family this year, which is a lot more than in previous years. Because, the highly distilled liquor that Qin Yong had fiddled with in Yangzhou City at the beginning had brought a lot of income to their Qin family, but the specific amount of income had not yet been counted. However, it should be no less than a thousand taels of gold, and this is already extremely considerable. However, even so, it is still a drop in the bucket when encountering this house that is thousands of taels high at every turn.

"Yes, young master! Looking at the meaning of the master, he should want to buy this house. ”

Qin Yong: "......"

Well, Qin Yong actually knew that his father was very wealthy. However, even if you are rich, this time you are playing a little too big, right? A full 50,000 taels of silver, these 50,000 taels of silver, that can already buy a quarter of the city in Yangzhou City. And in this Bianliang City, it's just a house?

However, he also knew the temper of his father, so to speak, since he had decided so, at least, he thought it was worth it. But how it was worth it, Qin Yongke couldn't figure it out at all.

Of course, he wouldn't completely deny Butcher Qin's decision, let alone think that Butcher Qin was stupid! Because, if he often makes stupid mistakes, he will not just rely on the identity of a butcher, then he will break into the big family business in Yangzhou City.

"Young Master, it's here. Please get off the bus......"

In the end, the subordinate who led the way led Qin Yong's carriage to the end of the avenue, and then stopped after turning a corner, stretched out his hand to pull up the curtain of the carriage and said.

"Oh!"

So, Qin Yong got out of the car.

As a result, when I saw the mansion that appeared in front of me, I was dumbfounded again. Because, the scale of his current mansion is no worse than the "Jin Wangfu" he just saw. And it has a better place than the "Jin Palace" is that the condition of this house is very new. If someone said that it had just been built, Qin Yong would have believed it. However, the only thing that makes people feel a little uncomfortable is that the front of this mansion looks a little deserted.

Actually, isn't that a natural thing?

A brand new house like this, plus it's on sale, so naturally there won't be much popularity inside, and even outside the mansion gate, the plaque is still empty.
