After getting off the court, Zhao Yao went back to the palace directly. He got up too early today, and he didn't have time to have breakfast, so he hurried to the yamen to go to the court. Fortunately, there was no major event in the morning today, and it ended in an hour.

Zhao Yao did not set the place of the previous dynasty in the palace. First, because there should be a clear distinction between public and private. Second, because the palace is too small, it can't accommodate so many officials in his small court.

There were quite a few officials in the small court of the Han Dynasty, and there were one or two hundred officials, large and small. And that's not even counting the guards and soldiers. If you add it all up, there are tens of thousands.

Zhao Yao used the yamen of the previous swamp mansion for his officials, and he barely could use it. However, it will have to be expanded next year. Because there are many officials crammed into one room now, it is not very convenient to deal with things.

Chu Huan and the others went down to the court, followed Zhao Yao to the Han Palace, and ate breakfast in the Han Palace.

He Lianfang and Yan Huarong didn't have breakfast, and waited for Zhao Yao to come back and eat together.

Seeing He Lianfang, Shen Sen and the four of them said hello obediently. Seeing Yan Huarong, Chu Huan and the four of them became like quails.

Shen Sen and the four of them didn't know He Lianfang's true identity, and they still treated him as the second uncle as they did when they were children. But Yan Huarong, they knew each other, and they were also beaten and bullied by Yan Huarong. When I saw Yan Huarong's uncle, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Today's breakfast was seafood porridge, which was very delicious, and they were very satisfied.

He Lianfang held the tea cup, drank the tea slowly, and asked, "How is it this morning?" ”

At the mention of the early dynasty, Zhao Yao's face immediately became bitter, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Alas, don't mention it, there are a lot of things, and there are many headaches." ”

He Lianfang asked with concern, "Is there anything big?" ”

"It's not big things, it's all small things." Zhao Yao sighed bitterly and said, "There are so many things to do, I feel like I can't finish it in a few years." "Now that I think about it, he was as busy as a spinning top when he came to the Swamp Mansion. Now that he has been here for a few months, he has not had a day off. When he was in the capital, although it was very annoying to go to the court every day, he had nothing to do when he went to the court. You can go wherever you want every day, and you can play as much as you want. When he arrived at the swamp mansion, let alone playing, he even had less time to sleep.

Before coming to the Swamp Mansion, he looked forward to being crowned king as soon as possible. When he came to the Swamp Mansion, he missed the days of "idleness" in the capital very much.

He Lianfang understood what Zhao Yao meant: "It's the infrastructure you said." ”

"Yes, it's infrastructure." Zhao Yao put down the teacup in his hand and said with a slight frown, "Let's not talk about building roads or ships, let's just talk about building houses, and we will have to build a lot next year." ”

"What more house are you going to build?" He Lianfang asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't it under construction now?" "As soon as this boy came to the swamp house, he ordered a house to be built. In the past few months, many houses have been built.

"Not enough. Next year, the yamen will have to be expanded. The yamen was divided into several departments, each with its own office. Zhao Yao said, "By the way, we have to build a canteen to be responsible for the officials' meals on weekdays." Dormitories had to be built for officials to rest. ”

Shen Sen hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Big brother, our military camp also has to be expanded." ”

"I didn't forget to expand the barracks for you."

Chu Ying said: "Boss, when expanding the barracks, you also have to expand the training ground of the barracks. "Now the training ground in the barracks is a little smaller.

Song Jicai hurriedly said: "Boss, there is also a horse farm, which also has to be expanded." Now there are not enough horses, so I have to buy some horses to come back. ”

"Horses aren't enough?" Zhao Yao looked stunned, "Over the years, I have asked my second uncle to buy back a lot of horses from the Western Regions one after another, and the sum of these before and after is not five thousand, but two or three thousand." ”

"Boss, there are more than two or three thousand people in our military camp." Song Jicai decided to settle this account with Zhao Yao, "The total number of guards and soldiers assigned to you by the emperor is 6,000 people, and these 6,000 people have to have one horse per person." ”

"Over the years, haven't you given birth to a single cub of the horse you bought?" Zhao Yao asked Liang Run to buy more mares, breeders and horses. By the way, he also let the horses of the Great Zhou mate with the horses of the Western Regions. Although the horses born of mating are not as good as the horses in the Western Regions, they are much better than the horses of the Great Zhou. "I don't care about horses, but don't fool me, there should be more than two or three thousand horses in the horse farm by now."

Chu Huan said: "Boss, there are six thousand horses in the military camp now, but they are still not enough. ”

Zhang He nodded again and again, and echoed: "That's it, six thousand horses are not enough to ride." ”

Shen Sen followed closely and said, "Boss, at least ten thousand horses." ”

"Ten thousand?" Zhao Yao looked at Shen Sen and the four of them speechlessly, "You guys are really lions with big mouths." ”

"Boss, 10,000 horses, you're too much." Song Jicai looked at Zhao Yao in disbelief, "You ask Uncle Rong, is 10,000 horses more or less?" ”

Zhao Yao turned his head to look at Yan Huarong, and humbly asked: "General Yan, is 10,000 horses more or less?" ”

"As far as the guards Your Highness currently has, there are more than ten thousand horses, and six or seven thousand are enough." Yan Huarong said with a smile, "However, the more Mado, the better, especially the sweat and blood BMW." ”

There is a bloody horse in the stable of the Han Palace, which Liang Run spent a lot of effort to buy. Yan Huarong took a fancy to it at a glance, but he knew that this was bought by His Royal Highness the King of Han with great difficulty, and he would definitely not give it to him with pain.

At the mention of sweat and blood, Shen Sen's eyes suddenly lit up, and their faces were full of anticipation.

"Boss, you can find a way to buy back a few sweaty and bloody horses from the Western Regions, and we will have one horse each."

Yan Huarong heard Shen Sen say this, and said to Zhao Yao with a shy face: "Your Highness, can you send a horse to your ministers when the time comes?" ”

Zhao Yao, who was drinking tea, was so shocked that he squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard their shameless words.

"Do you think that sweaty BMW is cabbage, and you can buy it casually?"

"Boss, you are so capable, you can definitely buy it."

Chu Huan's mind turned very fast: "Boss, don't you make glass and mirrors, I think the people over there in the Western Regions will definitely like mirrors and glass, and when the time comes, you can use glass and mirrors to exchange them for sweat and blood BMWs." ”

Shen Sen felt that Chu Huan's proposal was very good, and immediately applauded in favor of it: "Boss, you exchange glass and mirrors, the people over there in the Western Regions are absolutely willing." ”

"Boss, then you can exchange with them more when the time comes." Zhang He smiled innocently, "I don't mind that I have two sweaty BMWs." ”

Chu Huan and the three of them hurriedly said, "I don't mind either!" ”

Zhao Yao was embarrassed by the four younger brothers: "Lao Tzu minds." Zhao Yao really wanted to squirt the four of them to death with a sip of tea, "Glass and mirrors are rare, but compared with other people's sweaty BMWs, they are far behind." The sweaty BMW is there, but it is a national treasure. Do you know what a national treasure is? "The sweat and blood BMW comes from Dawan and is the national treasure of Dawan, because it really takes a lot of effort to cultivate a sweat and blood BMW.

He continued angrily: "National treasures are not sold easily. The second uncle begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother before he bought one back. ”

"Don't they sell sweaty BMWs?" Song Jicai was the first time they had heard of this kind of thing.

"Not for sale, you know?" Zhao Yao said, "There are only more than 1,000 sweaty horses in the whole country, do you think they will sell them easily?" If it can be easily bought, do you think the imperial court will not send someone to buy it? ”

When Zhao Yao said this, Shen Sen and the four of them were speechless.

Chu Huan suddenly said: "If we defeat Dawan, then all the sweat and blood BMW will be ours." ”

"Lao Bai is right, as long as we knock Dawan down, the entire Dawan will be ours, and then the sweat and blood BMW will naturally be ours." Chu Huan's nickname when he was a child was Little White Face. When he grew up, Song Jicai and the three of them called him "Lao Bai".

"Yes, let's knock Dawan down and let them train us to sweat and blood BMW."

Shen Sen's temperament was more anxious, and he asked Zhao Yao directly: "Boss, when are we going to fight Dawan?" ”

Zhao Yao: "......"

He Lianfang and Yan Huarong were slightly stunned by Song Jicai's words from the four of them, and then both of them laughed.

Yan Huarong laughed very loudly: "Hahahahaha, well said, said so well!" ”

Zhao Yao stared at Chu Huan and the four of them with black lines on his head: "Are you serious? ”

"Boss, it's not that you said that the sweaty BMW is the national treasure of Dawan and is not easy to sell, then we can only beat Dawan down." Song Jicai felt that what they said was right.

Yan Huarong raised his hand and patted Chu Huan's shoulder, encouraging them: "If you have ambition, the four of you can lead troops to attack Dawan." ”

"Uncle Rong, do you think we can really do it?" Zhang He said excitedly, "Then how about we attack Dawan next year?" ”

Zhao Yao laughed angrily at Zhang He's "brainlessness" of the four of them: "You can't wait to send them to death?" ”

The words "send to death" made Chu Huan and the four of them stunned.

"Do you think Dawan is a piece of tofu, you can beat it when you say it, and it will break it when you hit it." Zhao Yao looked at the four junior brothers with disgust in his eyes, "Who gave you the confidence that made you think that the four of you can succeed if you attack Dawan?" You're so awesome, does your dad know? ”

Chu Huan and the four of them blushed at Zhao Yao's words. They were a little too excited.

"Boss, we just talked." They just have a mouthful of addiction, it doesn't mean that they really want to attack Dawan.

Zhao Yao mocked unceremoniously: "I saw your excited appearance, I thought you were going to attack Dawan tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow you would ride a bloody BMW to swagger through the market." ”

Chu Huan and the others sneered: "Boss, let's laugh." ”

He Lianfang said suddenly: "It's not impossible to attack Dawan, but it's not the time yet." ”

Song Jicai hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, when can you go to fight Dawan?" ”

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao, and immediately hooked the corners of her mouth and said meaningfully: "The time has come." ”

"When will it come?"

He Lianfang did not answer this question.

Chu Huan: It's not good for them to ask again.

"Alright, put away the unrealistic thoughts in your heads." Attacking Dawan, they can think of it. Having said that, it's not that Dawan can't fight. Those countries in the Western Regions are all small countries, and if they really go to fight, it is not impossible. However, if you want to attack those small countries in the Western Regions, you have to beware of the Xiongnu.

In recent years, although the Xiongnu did not go south to attack the Great Zhou, they continued to operate, which was quite disgusting. If the Great Zhou wanted to attack those countries in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu would definitely collude with other countries and unite to attack the Great Zhou.

"I think you're too idle, that's why you have such brainless thoughts." Zhao Yao suddenly straightened his face and said, "Tomorrow, the four of you will take turns to lead the troops out to sea to fish." ”

"Fishing?" Shen Sen asked with a puzzled face, "Boss, what are we doing fishing?" ”

"Of course it's eating, it's about to be the New Year, don't you want to eat meat?" The swamp house is too poor, there are not many people who raise pigs and sheep, and there are many people who raise chickens, ducks and geese, but there are not enough to eat. Although there are many wild beasts in the mountains of Marsh Province, these beasts are very troublesome and dangerous to catch, so it is better to go directly to the sea to fish. "There are a lot of fish in the sea, and most of them are very tasty, you go out to sea to hunt some and come back, and everyone will be able to eat meat by then."

"Okay, then Lao Bai and I will go fishing first." As soon as Song Jicai heard that he could go to sea, he was a little nervous.

"You bring a few experienced fishermen who know how to catch fish and what fish you can eat and what you can't."

"Okay."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so the soldiers don't train during this time, let them do something else." Zhao Yao was thinking about manpower in his heart, "In the last half of the year, let them help expand the barracks, and wait until the New Year to give them more rewards." ”

Shen Sen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back later." ”

"Cover it with cement and red bricks, you will go to Zheng Cheng later and ask him to give you cement and red bricks." Both green bricks and red bricks have been made, but the green bricks are not easy to cool, so not many are made. Red bricks are easy to cool and make a lot. "By the way, remember to expand according to the drawings I designed earlier."

"Understood."

Zhao Yao explained some more words, and then let Chu Huan and the four of them leave.

"Your Highness, I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so why don't you let me help expand the barracks." Yan Huarong came to the swamp mansion to protect Zhao Yao, but he didn't come alone, he brought two thousand elite soldiers.

Zhao Yao was also polite: "Okay, then it's hard for General Yan." ”

"Your Highness, what are you polite to me?" Yan Huarong stood up and saluted Zhao Yao and He Lianfang, and immediately went out to find Shen Sen and them.

After Yan Huarong left, He Lianfang opened her mouth to remind Zhao Yao: "What kind of thermal weapon did you tell me before, when are you going to make it?" "He's been thinking about it.

"There's no rush on thermal weapons, and I'll concentrate on making thermal weapons when everything in the swamp mansion is built." Zhao Yao said with a serious expression, "The manufacture of thermal weapons must be kept secret, so before we do it, we must build a secret base." Besides, the ironworks have not yet been built. When the ironworks are built, they can be better used to make thermal weapons. ”
