Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because the situation in Liaodong was corrupt, it caused panic in the capital.

    The big shots in the court and a group of officials were all panicked.  Not only them, but also the people living here in the capital live in fear every day.

    Rumors are flying all over the capital, making people even more overwhelmed.

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

    He is not as afraid of the Jurchens as the Ming people.

    He even very much hopes that the Jurchens can come outside the capital, so that he can let his troops compete with the Jurchens and try out the quality of the Jurchens.

    However, at least there is no sign of the Jurchens yet, and the court has not issued an order to summon him, so Zhao Hongyu can only stay bored in the house, spending time with Emma and Sarah every day, enjoying this leisurely life  It's winter time.

    Sarah and Emma go out shopping every day during the day. The two girls, one large and one young, are much more interested in the capital than Zhao Hongyu.

    They can¡¯t stop shopping no matter how much they do, and everything they see is new and novel.

    Sarah, who is from Europe, feels that Daming is very clean and people¡¯s faces are filled with confidence.  These are not seen on the faces of European people, except of course people living on the American continent.

    Emma, ??on the other hand, is much simpler. At least she will be interested in the outside world and find it fresh.

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

    It¡¯s just silver, but Zhao Hongyu has a lot of it.

    The last thing he lacks is money.

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

    According to the price of silver here in the Ming Dynasty, you can get one tael of silver for five yuan.

    ¡°One tael of silver can buy a lot of things in Daming, so Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t care about this little money.

    ¡°And Zhao Hongyu felt that everything in Daming was very ¡®cheap¡¯, just like the big house he bought, which only cost 8,000 taels of silver in total.

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

    You know, this house has six entrances and six exits, covering an area of ??twelve acres.

    With 40,000 yuan of Celestial Soft Girl coins in the virtual world, you can buy a house with twelve acres of land. This is simply a great thing.

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

    It can be said that Zhao Hongyu, who has a plug-in, can really afford it.

    Precisely because of the cheating relationship, he didn¡¯t care at all about Emma and Sara cheating and spending money every day.

    A few days ago, he wandered around Liulichang and found a lot of good stuff.

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

    "More than a dozen pieces of porcelain were exchanged for Zhao Hongyu in exchange for approximately 3 billion Celestial Soft Girl Coins.

    You can imagine how much industrial silver he could buy if all these soft coins were used to buy industrial silver at the current price of 10 cents per gram.

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

    (Note: The weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty are hexadecimal. After rounding, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is about fifty grams)

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

    In this era, the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue was only four to five million taels of silver throughout the year, and six million taels were rare.

    And Zhao Hongyu just bought a few pieces of porcelain at Liulichang.

    Of course, Zhao Hongyu cannot do this kind of thing for a long time. After all, after Zhao Hongyu did it once, it will take a long time for the price of antiques to recover in the virtual world.

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

    But no matter what, Zhao Hongyu has this money on hand, so he feels very confident.

    ¡°And what makes Zhao Hongyu even more happy is that his administrative level will be upgraded soon.

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

    However, improving this level does not happen overnight.  Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to take his time.

    But it¡¯s okay now.

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

    And the development of America will accelerate as a result, and the empire will quickly become stronger.

    Furthermore, the number of ethnic Chinese people will also double.

    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. Everyone is no longer as cautious as before, and there are more smiles on their faces from time to time.

    Yes, when those maids and servants were bought back, they were all very frightened by the unfamiliar environment.

    Because they don¡¯t know what kind of person the owner who bought them is.

    ¡°If there is a bad-tempered master, then people like them will suffer.

    In the Ming Dynasty, servants and maids who were not free people were very pitiful.  Because they had no freedom and were sold out by their masters, their status was not even as good as that of a dog.

    ¡°Moreover, they (she) can¡¯t even make the decision on their own lives.

    If the master wanted to kill them, he could just go to the Yamen and pay a fine. There would be no punishment at all.

    If the main family¡¯s background is strong, people like him or her will die in vain.

    So, when they were bought by Zhao Hongyu, they were all very uneasy.

    However, since they came to this house and came into contact with the owner Zhao Hongyu, they found that their worries were simply unnecessary.

    Because the master has a good temper and will not get angry randomly.

    And when talking to servants like him (her), they are also very approachable.

    Of course, this does not mean that if the master has a good temper, he or she can be a slave and bully the master.

    ¡°It can only be said that meeting such a master is just a matter of good luck for him or her.

    Therefore, the servants and maids in the house cherish their life here very much.

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

    "Master, the eldest grandma and the second grandma have gone out. Before they left, they told them that they didn't have to wait for them at noon. So I'm here to ask the young master, what does the young master want to eat at noon?"

    As usual, Zhao Hongyu had someone place the deck chair under the porch, and he was lying on the deck chair, holding a small heater in his arms and listening to the storyteller brought from outside, who was telling him the story of Water Margin.  .

    For the sake of money, the storyteller said that he worked very hard.

    Because as long as Zhao Hongyu is happy, the reward will be one tael of silver.

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

    So, the storyteller with a disheveled face and a patchwork green-gray gown was speaking with all his might.

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

    Among them, people like Ru Yunlong and Fang La, as well as the opponents of the Water Margin heroes, many have some magical methods.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu listened to this version of the story with great interest.

    There are very few entertainment activities in this era, basically just these few.

    Listening to books, watching vaudeville, or listening to Kun Opera (the predecessor of Peking Opera), or listening to some local ditties, or else just finding a few girls to sing ditties.

    Zhao Hongyu had little interest in brothel Zhao Hongyu, and he couldn¡¯t understand the babbling sounds of Kun Opera, so Zhao Hongyu asked Master Wang to find him such a storyteller and listen to him every day to pass the time.

    Fortunately, this storyteller has good skills, and Zhao Hongyu liked it very much.

    This day has been very comfortable.

    Hearing a soft voice in his ear, Zhao Hongyu opened his eyes.

    It turned out to be the maid named Haitang.

    Zhao Hongyu saw a shy little face.

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

    In modern times, girls of this age are still enjoying their wonderful youthful campus time.

    But this girl named Haitang has to work as a servant.

    The little girl was bought by Zhao Hongyu at the human market. The trafficker said that the little girl came from the northwest. Her parents had too many children in the family, so they sold her and bought her.The remaining money will be used to support the remaining children.

    As for whether the real situation is really like this, Zhao Hongyu has no idea.

    Can you trust the words of human traffickers?

    However, Emma was in the market at the time and took a liking to this timid little girl at first sight.  He immediately asked Zhao Hongyu to buy her and use her as his maid.

    Zhao Hongyu would never refuse Emma's request. Besides, the price of buying Haitang was only six taels of silver, which was nothing to Zhao Hongyu.

    "It's Haitang, Emma and Sarah went out again."

    Zhao Hongyu did not follow the Ming Dynasty custom of calling Emma and Sara the eldest grandma and second grandma, but directly called them by their names.

    Because Zhao Hongyu felt uncomfortable.

    Why should you follow the customs of Ming people in your own home?

    Only the servants at home were not surprised.

    Of course, everyone will not underestimate Emma and Sara just because of such a title.  Because Zhao Hongyu had announced in public that both Sarah and Emma were his wives. If someone was disrespectful, the consequences would be inevitable.

    And Mrs. Wang, who was the guest housekeeper, also solemnly explained to these servants in private that if any of them disrespected the young master and the two ladies, then Zhao Hongyu would be able to deal with him (her) without opening his mouth.

    So, the people in the house still respect Emma and Sara very much.

    The storyteller stopped.

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

    After Haitang said this, Zhao Hongyu then remembered that it was already noon. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
