I have a fortune book

Chapter 56 Inner Palace
"Oh, my young master, I heard from Mr. Chen that you met a strong man on the road. If something happens to you, how should I explain to your parents!" Uncle Fu put down the hatchet in his hand and hurried forward.

He is used to working hard, even though there are many more people in the courtyard now, he still insists on doing it himself.

The old man touched Zhou Bai's body left and right, looking very excited.

From February [-]th to the county town, to today's March [-]th, he has been away from home for more than half a month. This makes Uncle Fu, who has always brought Zhou Bai by his side, not worried.

"Uncle Fu, did you see that I am in excellent health. Also, I am a scholar of the imperial court now, with good luck, so it is not so easy to have accidents." Zhou Bai was very cooperative, turning around to let the old man look at him, while comforting him.

Regarding what happened that night, everyone had a tacit understanding. Whether it was Zhou Bai, Chen Zhongbang and others, or the county government, everyone did not say that it was an internal struggle between Jin and Jin.

Ji Hongzhe was afraid that Zhou Bai was young and ignorant, so he clicked.

You, the Jin family, actually came to Daxu's territory. You didn't say how you got there, but you said that you hurt Daxu's innocent people. If the outside world finds out, it will not end well.

Therefore, the government at all levels, before the edict from the above, requires the insiders to maintain a unified caliber, that it is bandits and robbers who robbed the caravan, and they are not allowed to mention anything.

After carefully checking Zhou Bai's health, Uncle Fu reminded him in a low voice: "I said, young master, Mr. Chen is a good person, but he may have been wronged a little these two days."

"Zhou Yuan, come here, do you know Mr. Chen? Where is he now?" Zhou Bai nodded and called Zhou Yuan at the door.

"Master Bai, I know you. Mr. Chen Zhongbang has been busy since he arrived here yesterday. He should be in your field now." Zhou Yuan replied.

"Shall I call him?"

"No, I'll go myself."

……

The northern border can't help raising horses privately. As long as you don't train a large group of cavalry, it's normal to raise some horses for transportation from a family like Zhou Bai.

No matter how difficult it is to raise horses, Zhou Bai's current status is still a horse to take advantage of. In a short while, he left the core area of ​​the family and came to his own field.

Unlike when it was dry and colorless in February, the fields are now lush and green, and the thriving seedlings cover all [-] mu of land.

Looking from a distance, traces of white gas are gradually emerging from the ground, it is obvious that this piece of land will have a good harvest in the future.

Three hundred acres away, the two newly opened canals on the left and the right are very spacious, and there are a few farmers working on the state beach where the streams intersect, and Chen Zhongbang is among them.

Zhou Bai leaned over, and it turned out that Chen Zhongbang was talking with the old man Wang Liangtian, and the person who was busy digging holes in the field to plant seedlings should be the younger generation of the family he mentioned.

"My lord, my master." Zhou Bai didn't avoid people, Chen Zhongbang and Wang Liangtian stepped over the ditch to meet them as soon as they saw them.

"gentlemen."

"Old Wangtou did a good job, I didn't believe in the wrong person." Zhou Bai signaled Chen Zhongbang to wait a while, and communicated with Wang Liangtian first.

"I haven't congratulated Young Master Bai on the high school case yet. It's my blessing that the old man can farm for you."

"According to your instructions, two canals were dug, and now it is not a problem to cover a thousand acres."

"There is also [-] acres of land on the state beach. I am afraid that the spring will be delayed, so let the young people in the family replant the seedlings first, and then continue to open the fields when they are free." Wang Liangtian pointed to the canal and the new fields, looking like He was quite proud that everything his boss had explained was correct.

Seeing him staring at him eagerly, Zhou Bai smiled happily and said, "I have recorded your achievements. In this way, the [-] mu of new land will be your private land first, and you will remember to return the [-] mu of public land to me later."

"Also, the clan is going to fund me to build a manor, and I decided to put it around here. You choose a few good places and report to Mr. Chen."

Wang Liangtian was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master, I will definitely continue to work hard, and I will not forget your kindness. I will discuss the location of the manor with Mr. Chen in the past few days."

This is [-] acres of paddy fields, and under the protection of the Zhou family, the government did not dare to increase taxes at will, so that there would be surplus after feeding the whole family.

The key is the manor. If it is built here, who else can be in charge of the manor?As long as he works hard in the future, the boss will definitely choose him.

After thanking him, Wang Liangtian walked aside with great insight, not seeing that Zhou Bai and Chen Zhongbang had something to say.

"Sir, you have been wronged." Zhou Bai said to Chen Zhongbang with some shame as he walked away.

Before coming here, Zhou Yuan had already told him that there were many people in the family who wanted to cling to Zhou Bai these two days. They thought that Chen Zhongbang, a happy householder, was not qualified to be the guest secretary of a talented young master, so there were a lot of private slander and slander.

Zhou Chang also wanted Chen Zhongbang to play music to welcome Zhou Bai because he heard rumors, half teasing and half probing.

"Zhongbang didn't dare, and he didn't take it to heart. It's not inappropriate for him to be in the prince's staff without making any achievements." Chen Zhongbang looked as usual, as if he really didn't take it to heart.

"How useless, no one can do better than you that night, please accept my worship." Zhou Bai shook his head and bowed.

Chen Zhongbang could ignore any amount of sarcasm before, but he was extremely moved by his respect for the lord, and quickly bowed down to salute.

Zhou Bai held Chen Zhongbang's hand tightly and said: "I invited you out of the mountain, how can you be unfair. From now on, you don't have to listen to the orders of the clan. I decided to set up an inner palace in the Qunshitang, and you are The Chief Guest Secretary of the Inner Palace, in charge of all matters of the Inner Palace."

"There is no need to refuse, does the gentleman want me to be unavailable?"

Chen Zhongbang's lips twitched a few times, he was speechless, and accepted the appointment, trusting him how to repay.

"My lord, can you show me the structure of the inner palace?" Chen Zhongbang straightened his face and quickly entered the role.

Zhou Bai thought for a moment, and replied: "Well, the structure of the inner government is firstly divided into Yingtian Hall and Yanwu Hall. Yingtian Hall is in charge of all civil affairs. You are in charge and enjoy the salary of a first-class guest minister. Yanwu Hall is in charge of military affairs. I will be in charge for the time being.”

"That's fine, the name of the official office is avoided, and it will be subdivided when the time is right."

"However, I dare to ask my lord, can the inner palace start to be filled with people?" Chen Zhongbang agreed with Zhou Bai's decision very much, and also raised his own doubts.

"You can look for follow-up staff slowly, but Zhong Wei and Yan Lie were recruited before I was admitted as a scholar. You can reuse them as assistants. I will ask Zhou Yuan to send someone to call them over tomorrow."

"Also, there is a shortage of materials for the establishment of the Inner Palace. You can apply to the patriarch in the early stage, which is his permission." Zhou Bai explained one by one.

Chen Zhongbang nodded, and said goodbye vigorously: "My lord, I will make arrangements right away. Your yard can't accommodate too many people. I'll go find some suitable houses first."

Looking at Chen Zhongbang who left, Zhou Bai had more thoughts about the future arrangements. The structure of the inner government will be set up, and the combat power will also have to keep up.

Army building, as well as the cultivation of extraordinary seeds.
