Chapter 1145: Leisurely Time

Because of the erosion of the situation in Liaodong, it led to panic on the part of the capital.

The bigwigs in the DPRK and the officials were all panicked all of a sudden. Not only them, but also the people living here in the capital also live in fear every day.

Rumors are flying all over the city, which makes people even more overwhelmed.

However, Zhao Hongyu lived a leisurely and comfortable life in his newly bought house.

For the Jurchens, he was not as afraid as the Ming people.

He even very much hoped that the Jurchens could come outside the capital, so that he could let his men and horses fight with the Jurchens and try the Jurchens' quality.

However, at least there is no shadow of the Jurchen people now, and the court has not issued an order to summon him, so Zhao Hongyu can only stay in the house bored, spend every day with Emma and Sarah, and enjoy this leisurely winter time.

Sara and Emma go shopping every day during the day, and the two sisters, one older and one younger, are much more interested in the capital than Zhao Hongyu.

They can't finish shopping, and they find everything new.

Sarah, who is from Europe, thinks that Daming is very clean, and people's faces are full of confidence. None of this is visible to the faces of the people of Europe, except for those who live on the American continent.

Emma, on the other hand, is much simpler, at least if she is in the outside world, she will be interested and feel fresh.

Every day they buy back a lot of useless gadgets, but Zhao Hongyu did not stop their desire to consume.

It's just silver, and Zhao Hongyu has a lot of it.

The last thing he lacked was silver.

The price of silver in the virtual world has fallen very sharply, and one gram of industrial silver has fallen to a dime.

According to the price of silver on the Ming side, that is, five yuan can get one or two silver.

And there are a lot of things that can be bought in Daming for one or two silvers, so Zhao Hongyu doesn't care about this money.

And Zhao Hongyu felt that everything was very 'cheap' on Daming's side, just like the big mansion he bought, which was only eight thousand taels of silver in total.

Converted into 40,000 yuan of industrial silver in the virtual world.

You must know that this house is six in and six out. It covers an area of 12 acres.

40,000 yuan of Celestial Empire Soft Sister Coin in the Virtual World Realm can buy a house of twelve acres, which is simply a great thing.

The furniture in the yard is ready-made, and there is even a terraced garden, and a pool.

It can be said that for Zhao Hongyu, who has a plug-in, he sincerely consumes.

It is precisely because of the relationship between the plug-ins that he doesn't care at all about Emma and Sara selling and misusing money every day.

A few days ago, he wandered around the glaze factory and found a lot of good things.

After the porcelain found in those glaze factories was sold to the virtual world, it immediately caused a sensation.

More than a dozen pieces of porcelain. For Zhao Hongyu, he exchanged for about three billion Celestial Empire soft sister coins.

You can imagine how much industrial silver he could buy if all these soft girl coins were used to buy industrial silver, according to the current price of a dime and a gram.

No more, no less, sixty million taels of silver!

(Note: Daming weights and measures are hexadecimal, after rounding, Daming one tael of silver is about fifty grams)

60 million taels of silver, this is the tax income of the Ming Dynasty for almost ten years.

The Ming tax in this era was only four or five million taels of silver all year round. Six million taels is rare.

And Zhao Hongyu just bought a few pieces of porcelain at the Liuli Factory.

Of course, Zhao Hongyu can't do such a thing for a long time, after all, Zhao Hongyu did it once. It will take a long time for the jokes in the virtual world to recover.

This is also a limitation of virtual traders for this kind of business.

But anyway, Zhao Hongyu has this money in hand, so he has a lot of confidence in his heart.

And what makes Zhao Hongyu even happier is. His administrative rank was about to be raised.

Yes, after three and a half years of waiting, Zhao Hongyu has been stuck in the title of mayor for a long time.

But. If you want to improve this level, it will not happen overnight. Zhao Hongyu didn't have much to do about it, so he could only stay up slowly.

But now it's fine.

As long as there are more than 10,000 Chinese genetic people, then he can be promoted from the town mayor to the county magistrate.

When he becomes the county magistrate, he will be able to open up more authority to his subordinates, allowing them to quickly build the city.

As a result, the development of the Americas will be accelerated, and the empire will quickly become stronger.

In addition, the number of Chinese people will also increase and increase.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu stays in the house every day, with a smile on his face.

It seems that Zhao Hongyu's happiness has also infected everyone in the house, and the big guys have lost their previous caution, and there are more smiles on their faces from time to time.

Yes, when the maids and servants were bought, they were very frightened of the unfamiliar environment.

Because they don't know what kind of person they are when they buy their master.

If it were a bad-tempered master, people like them would be sinned.

On the side of the Ming Dynasty, servants and maids who are not free people are very pitiful. Because they have no freedom, they are held by the lord's family with a deed of sale, and their status is not even as good as a dog.

Moreover, they cannot even make their own decisions about their own lives.

If the lord kills them, he will go to the yamen and pay some fines, and it will be impossible to receive any punishment at all.

If the background of the main family is strong, people like them will die in vain.

Therefore, when they (they) were bought by Zhao Hongyu, they were very uneasy.

However, since they came to this mansion and contacted Zhao Hongyu, the owner, they found that what they were worried about was simply superfluous.

Because the owner has a good temper and will not get angry indiscriminately.

And when talking to them (her), they are also very approachable.

Of course, this does not mean that the master has a good temper and they can be a bully.

It can only be said that it is their (her) luck to meet such a master.

So, the servants and maids in the house. I cherish my life here.

After all, it's hard to find such a kind owner.

"Young master, the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother went out, and when they left, they told that they didn't have to wait for them at noon. So the slave maid is now here to ask the young master, what does the young master want to eat at noon? ”

As usual, Zhao Hongyu placed the recliner under the porch, and he himself lay on the recliner, holding a small stove in his arms and listening to the storyteller found from outside, telling himself the story of the Water Margin.

For the sake of the silver, the storyteller said that he was very hard.

Because Zhao Hongyu is happy to listen to it. Then a reward is a full one or two silver.

At the end of the day, you can also give at least ten taels of silver.

So, the storyteller, who was dressed in a patched blue-gray gown, foamed at the mouth with all his might.

The story of the Water Margin told by this storyteller is a bit similar to a myth.

Among them, the Yunlong and Fang La, as well as the opponents of the Water Margin heroes, many of them are a bit of immortal means.

So, Zhao Hongyu is interested in this version of the story. Listen to it with relish.

There were very few entertainment activities in this era, and there were basically just a few things.

Listen to books, watch juggling, or listen to Kunqu Opera (the predecessor of Peking Opera). Or listen to some local tunes, or find a few girls to sing a little tune.

Zhao Hongyu was not very interested in Qinglou, and he couldn't understand those babbling in Kunqu Opera, so Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Fuzi to find such a storyteller for himself. Listen to him every day to pass the time.

Fortunately, this storyteller has a good foundation, which makes Zhao Hongyu like it very much.

This day is also comfortable.

I heard a soft and weak voice ringing in my ear. Zhao Hongyu opened his eyes.

It turned out to be the maid named Begonia.

Zhao Hongyu saw a shy little face.

The little girl was not very old, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old.

In modern times, girls of this age are still enjoying the beautiful campus time of youth.

But this girl named Begonia is going to be a servant maid.

The little girl was bought by Zhao Hongyu in the market, and I heard from the traffickers that the little girl was from the northwest, and her parents sold her because they had too many children in the family, and used the money they bought to support the remaining children.

As for whether the real situation is really like this, Zhao Hongyu does not know.

Can the trafficker's words be trusted?

However, Emma was in the human market at the time and took a fancy to this timid little girl at a glance. immediately asked Zhao Hongyu to buy her and use her as a maid by his side.

Zhao Hongyu has never refused Emma's request, and the price of buying a begonia is only six taels of silver, which is nothing to Zhao Hongyu.

"It's Begonia, Emma and Sara are out again."

Zhao Hongyu did not call Emma and Sara the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, but directly called them by name.

Because Zhao Hongyu felt unaccustomed.

In your own home, why follow the habits of the Ming people.

Only the servants of the household were not surprised.

Of course, the big guys don't underestimate Emma and Sara because of such a title. Because Zhao Hongyu announced in public, Sara and Emma are his wives, if there is a big disrespect, then the end must be needless to say.

And Master Wang, the guest butler, also solemnly explained to these servants in private, if any of them disrespected the young master and the two ladies, then he could clean him up without Zhao Hongyu opening his mouth.

So, the people in the house still have a lot of respect for Emma and Sarah.

The storyteller stopped.

Haitang lowered his head: "It's already noon, the housekeeper asked me to ask the young master, what does the young master want to eat at noon?" ”

was said by Haitang, Zhao Hongyu then remembered, isn't it already noon (to be continued......
