The next morning, the house returned to its former peace, except that some people disappeared, and no one knew where they went, and the vacant positions were quickly filled by others, except for a little dullness as if something had never happened.

Zhao Ta got up as usual, came to the courtyard, and found that the courtyard was full of new faces, "See, where did these people come from, what about the original people?" He asked the people around him.

"Lord Wang, these are all brought back from the capital by the big officials, some of them are from the Niangniang Palace, and some of them are selected from the newly arrived Xiaohuangmen, all of them are from white families!" The experience of the past two days, seeing the joy is like a dream, between the ups and downs, he understands that although the prince is small, he is not easy to fool, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"You people who don't have long eyes, the prince has come out, and you haven't stepped forward to ask for peace, do you want to be beaten?" Jianxi shouted to a group of busy little yellow men in the courtyard again.

"Lord Wang, morning!" Hearing the shouts of Jianxi, the people in the courtyard all cheered up and greeted Zhao Ta. The most people in the inner courtyard of the house are the inner servants, that is, the eunuchs we often call now, this time the small yellow door of the inner courtyard has almost changed, Huang Jingchen is a transcendent existence in the house, all the affairs in the house are under his control, but he rarely interferes, and the chores have fallen on the body of Jianxi, who dares to slack off.

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

"Yes, from the steward to the miscellaneous servants, they are all personally selected by the abbot, and they are all arranged!" Miki replied.

Zhao Ta was relieved after hearing this, that is, someone wanted to infiltrate and rearrange the eyeliner, which could not be done for a while, he should be very safe during this time, and at the same time, he also had a new understanding of Huang Jingchen, this old man is not as simple as it seems, in just a few days, he not only dealt with the assassination incident calmly, but also took the opportunity to carry out a thorough cleaning from the inside out and rearrange the manpower.

After eating, Zhao Ta went to the main hall accompanied by Huang Jingchen, 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 branch (in charge of the expenditure), the gold 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.

The most people came in the last place, men and women, old and young, there were hundreds of people, kneeling in the dark under the hall, they were all 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 every other day, 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, Zhao Ta looked at these people below with a smile, and sighed in his heart, this is the beauty of power, although he is just a big child, but he is a prince, he can control the fate of these people and decide their fortunes and misfortunes, this is the beauty of the second generation of officials.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong, is there anything inappropriate?" Everyone retreated, and there were only a few stewards left in the house, Huang Jingchen suddenly found that the prince who was still happy just now became sad, and hurriedly asked.

"Official, so many people need us to take care of their food, and they don't have to make me poor!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, several people in the room were stunned when they heard his words, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Lord Wang, it turned out that I was worried about this!" Huang Jingchen rubbed his nose vigorously before returning to normal, he didn't expect that although the prince was small, he was a money fan, "Lord, don't worry about this, the monthly salaries in our inner courtyard are all issued by the palace, and the food and clothing of these people in the outer courtyard are also allocated by the household department and the prince's money, so the prince doesn't need to spend a penny!" ”,

"Yes, I'm relieved, you are not allowed to spend my money indiscriminately, otherwise I will beat you board!" Zhao Tan pointed to the three stewards in the outer courtyard and said seriously.

"Don't worry, the prince will spend our money, and we will never spend it indiscriminately!" Although the chief steward felt amused when he heard the prince's childish words, he didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down and said.

"Okay, let's talk about these miscellaneous things, let's discuss!" Zhao Ta jumped down from the couch and said, "See, didn't you say that my grandfather brought me good things, take me to see it!" After saying that, he jumped off the couch and ran out, pretending to be a child in front of a group of people is really not a pleasant thing, "Slow down, don't fall!" Seeing the joy shouted, hurriedly followed.

"Steward Zheng, the prince is young and likes to run around, you arrange two people with good skills to follow, don't do anything else!" Huang Jingchen watched Zhao Ta go out of the main hall and said to the chief steward Zheng Xu.

"Don't worry, the master has specially sent two masters this time, they have both roamed the rivers and lakes, and the kung fu in their hands is very hard!" Steward Zheng replied.

"Good kung fu is one thing, people mainly have to rely on it!"

"The two of them provoked the local big salt lord a few years ago, and they were hunted down and killed, and the lord took them in, and they have been following the lord incognito, and they are righteous and angry, and they know about Entubao, so you can rest assured!"

"Well, these days the house is not peaceful, and the weather will be cold soon, you send someone to clean up the summer courtyard, and you can change the residence of the prince according to his wishes, or he will lose his temper!" Huang Jingchen nodded and said.

"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it immediately!" Steward Zheng said.

"After the autumn grain is harvested, the tenants will have to pay the rent immediately, and the treasury and manpower must be arranged, so as not to make a mess!" Huang Jingchen admonished again.

"Don't worry, the second manager has been managing Zhuangzi in the past, and he has done it well!" Steward Zheng pointed to the second steward Zheng Yang and said.

"Okay, the prince is thoughtful, I won't bother too much, you can discuss the affairs in the house!" Huang Jingchen said with a smile that he was still very satisfied with these people selected by the national ruler Zheng Shen.

Huang Jingchen returned to his room in the inner courtyard after explaining the matter, and a small yellow door hurriedly poured him tea, bowed and stepped aside, "Shunzi, you send a message to the people in the capital, and ask them to check the details of the two people, Suo Mengtao and Yang Feng, the cloud piercing hand, be faster, the prince can't make any more mistakes!" He took a sip of tea and said slowly.

·······

Zhao Ta was very much looking forward to what good things his grandfather had brought him, and he urged a little steward to send the things to the Winter Garden, and when the things were moved down one by one, he was almost tired and fainted! There are a lot of things sent, everything to eat and play, and it really responds to the saying: stupid grandma hurts nephew.

Don't mention the things to eat, the things to play are the most popular bamboo horses, swings, paper kites, juju, mud dolls, all kinds of toys that children like, and of course, there are two puppies, two kittens, a parrot, a tank of goldfish, two little turtles full of green hair... There are still a few cans of crickets, Zhao Ta frowned while looking at it, he didn't see a pen, a piece of paper, and his grandfather gave him things to eat, drink and have fun.

"Young Master Sun, our master also bought you two eagles, but I haven't trained them yet, I'll send them to you after a while!" The steward of the Zheng Mansion, who was following the delivery of things, looked at Zhao Ta and seemed to be lacking interest in these things, and hurriedly came over to accompany him and said with a smile.

"Oh, let my grandfather bother with his old man!" Zhao Ta said with a little crying and laughing, but he can't blame others, is he a child now.

"In order to find these things, the lord really took a lot of effort, you look at these two kittens, they are famous lion cats, the lord exchanged them for a genuine painting of Prime Minister Cai, the two green-haired turtles cost five hundred yuan to buy, and the parrot also spent a lot..." The steward of the Zheng Mansion hurriedly sold his work for his master.

"What, these two turtles are worth five hundred yuan?" Zhao Tayou's eyes didn't fall, he kicked the tank that held the turtle and said. Two green turtles can be worth five hundred yuan, and the synthetic gold is ten taels, no matter how these two little guys look at it, they don't have ten taels, and they only cost two or three hundred yuan in the pet market in their previous lives, and the alloy seed is one gram.

"Master, be merciful at your feet, that glass jar was bought from a Persian merchant, two hundred times!" The steward quickly picked up the cylinder and said. ,

Zhao Ta was really speechless this time, the basin-sized, translucent and opaque broken 'glass fish tank' was worth two hundred yuan, and the ten yuan he gave to sell the tank in his previous life was very happy, "See you, find a stable one to put this..." This glass jar shows me that if something goes wrong, he will be hungry for two meals and not allowed to eat! ”

"Okay, second master, don't worry, I will personally take care of these two babies for you, if they have one less hair, you will starve me!" Seeing Xixi, he smiled and took the glass jar from the steward's hand, hugged it in his arms and said.

"It's a good thing!" Zhao Ta suddenly found a dagger in a pile of objects, happily picked it up and said, fiddling in his hand, the dagger is half a foot long with a sheath, the white jade knife handle wrapped with gold wire, the tail tray is inlaid with a ruby the size of a small thumb, and the scabbard with rhinoceros skin looks exquisite and abnormal, he pressed the tension spring, pulled out the knife, and the cold light shone in the sun, and the cloud-like pattern on the knife body loomed, which made people love it.

"Young Master Sun, be careful, don't hurt your hands, this is made of iron used by the sword-making master of the Western Xia Kingdom, sharpening iron like mud, can cut gold and break jade!" The steward of the Zheng Mansion hurriedly snatched the dagger and put it away, and said to Zhao Ta hanging it on his waist.

"Thank you grandpa for me, just say I like this dagger very much!" Zhao Tan touched the dagger in his waist and said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely!" The steward of the Zheng Mansion said hurriedly, pouting secretly, it is not easy for Young Master Sun to say thank you, so many things, much better than this dagger, and I didn't hear him say the word thank you, it seems that Young Master Sun is the master who likes to dance with guns and sticks, and he knew that it would be good to send him some knives, guns and sticks.
