Chapter 65

"Brother, are we really going to live in the palace from now on?" Liu Qiaoyu inspected the rooms carefully one by one, and saw Feng Jiang sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, so she couldn't help but walk to the stone bench opposite him and sit down asked.

"Yes, at least temporarily. You don't want to live here?" Feng Jiang asked.

Liu Qiaoyu shook her head hastily and said: "Brother, how can it be? This is the palace of the king. Qiaoyu didn't even dare to think about it before. When Dad was still there, the county guard's mansion never entered. It's just that the magistrate's house is there every few days. I go there once a month.”

This is true.

Although merchants have gold and silver, their status is not high.

Unless it is a business that cooperates with the palace, or has other relationships, how can ordinary businessmen have the opportunity to enter the palace?
As for going to the county magistrate, of course, you still need to establish a good relationship with the local government.

To some extent, the magistrate also needs to rely on some local tyrants.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the government is more powerful, and Liu Fulin's visit to the county government is mostly to give some benefits.

"It's not easy to live in the palace for a long time. Now that we are new to Chang'an and unfamiliar with the place, it's safer to stay in the palace. We'll just find a chance to move out in the future," Feng Jiang said.

He was mainly worried about Liu Qiaoyu's safety, she must be the safest in the palace now.

"Moving out?" Liu Qiaoyu blinked her big eyes and asked hesitantly, "Brother, do we have any money?"

She knew about Feng Jiang's family background.

In Chang'an, the capital of the west, everything is expensive, especially houses in the city, even the worst houses cost at least a few hundred taels, which is not something everyone can afford.

This is similar to my own world.

But there is one thing that is completely different.

That is the salary.

"I asked, Manager Xu pays 1000 taels a year." Feng Jiang waved a finger in front of Liu Qiaoyu and said.

"Yeah?" Liu Qiaoyu looked surprised, "Then the eldest brother is also 1000 taels?"

1000 taels is not a small amount.

Even if her family was considered well-to-do before, the salary of 1000 taels a year is still unimaginable.

Of course, she also knew in her heart that Mr. Xu was a top expert, and he was working for the palace, so the treatment would not be bad.

Like Senior Xiong, didn't Sister Wei just give 1 taels a year?

No matter how high the housing price in Chang'an City is, Liu Qiaoyu also knows that 1000 taels can buy a pretty good house.

"If there is no 1000 taels, there are [-]." Feng Jiang said with a smile, "After all, I am young, so it may be less."

"What's wrong with being young? Eldest brother is much better than Director Xu." Liu Qiaoyu pouted and was very dissatisfied with Feng Jiang's words, "I think the princess should give more."

"The more the better, of course, no one has trouble with money."

Feng Jiang was very emotional.

Think about yourself before time travel, that was a proper house slave, owed more than one million to the bank, and there were only a few dollars left in one month's salary.

When you come here, you will develop yourself.

One year's salary income can buy a house in the western capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, which is equivalent to buying a house of more than [-] square meters in the capital and Shanghai at that time, right?
It must be an annual salary of tens of millions.

The chief guard, that is the head of the bodyguard, Feng Jiang thinks that this job can still be done at present.

The matter of digging treasures was left behind by him for the time being, and there was no shortage of food and drink for him in the palace.

It won't be too late to take action after leaving the palace someday.

"Brother, I'm still a little nervous. This is the palace. If I go to the wrong place, will I be beheaded?" Liu Qiaoyu asked with some fear.

"You're not an assassin who broke in." Feng Jiang comforted with a smile, "Of course, it's better to stay in the front yard, not the back yard, so as not to cause trouble."

Liu Qiaoyu nodded and wrote it down.

The backyard is the residence of the prince and the others. It is a place for key guards, and not everyone can get close to it.

……

"Father, everything has been arranged. People from Luoyang will come over one after another. There will probably be some things to buy here." In the study, Chu Xiuhui said.

There are also some concubines of her father in Luoyang, and now that they have arrived in Chang'an, those concubines will also come.

Chu Dan has many concubines, and some children, most of whom died when they were young, and now they are brothers and sisters, all born to the former princess, so they are brothers and sisters from the same mother.

"What about these things, Zhen'er?" Prime Minister Chu Dan moved his fat body, and looked at his son Chu Zhen who was sitting beside him.

"Father, the prince doesn't know about these things. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be broken? Sister Wang can handle it all by herself." Chu Zhen said hastily.

He didn't want to take on such an errand.

"Brother Wang, it's not for you to do it, you can let the people below do it, just keep an eye on it yourself." Chu Xiuhui frowned.

For her brother Wang, she hates iron but not steel.

Although Brother Wang is not as dandy as the younger nephews of other royal family members who cause trouble all day long, he is just lazy, doesn't want to do anything, and is idle.

"Okay, Hui'er, let's talk about it, Zhen'er is really not familiar with these things." Chu Dan didn't force Chu Zhen.

"Father, you are just too used to Brother Wang." Chu Xiuhui said dissatisfied.

"Ah~~" Chu Dan yawned, "That's it, Father is sleepy, let's take a nap first."

Seeing his father leaving, Chu Zhen was also ready to run away.

He didn't want to be scolded by his sister who wanted to be strong, anyway, it was impossible for him to do things.

"Brother Wang~~"

Just as Chu Zhen walked out a few steps, Chu Xiuhui's voice came from behind him.

"By the way, Sister Wang, there is something I can't figure out." Chu Zhen turned around hastily and asked loudly.

Chu Xiuhui was stunned for a moment, and instead of continuing her topic just now, she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Just now you said that Wang's Mansion is cooperating with Wei's Commercial Bank, but you also said that Bai's Commercial Bank is bigger than Wei's Commercial Bank. Why didn't you choose a strong one? I can't figure it out." Chu Zhen asked.

Hearing her brother Wang's question, Chu Xiuhui felt a little relieved.

Finally, I was thinking about something.

Chu Xiuhui explained with a smile on her face: "Brother Wang, our identities are quite special, with so many pairs of eyes staring at us, some things should not be too publicized."

"It's just asking the firm to help bring some goods by the way, and do some business to subsidize the palace's expenses. How can there be any publicity?" Chu Zhen was puzzled.

"Bai's Commercial Firm is very powerful in Wu County. If the palace chooses them, someone in Luoyang may tell us that we have colluded with wealthy businessmen and plotted against them." Chu Xiuhui's face became gloomy when she said this. "Wei's Commercial Bank is not as good as Bai's Commercial Bank. It has some strength, but it is not enough to attract the attention of Luoyang. It is just right."

"Is that so?" Chu Zhen nodded slightly.

"Brother Wang, let me tell you about the purchase of goods by the Palace~~"

"Ouch~~"

"what happened?"

"Stomach ache, no, I must have had a stomachache after drinking a bowl of lotus seed soup just now, it can't be done~~ It can't be done, Sister Wang, let's talk about other things next time~~"
