Chapter 19 Zhao Wangfu (1)

Private soldiers enjoy the support of princes and nobles, so their responsibilities are naturally great.

Once the prince and nobles die, all the living private soldiers will be executed.Therefore, in the mainland of China, if you want to kill a nobleman who has private soldiers, you must kill all the private soldiers of the nobleman.This is a great shame for the private soldiers who are still alive after the death of Xungui.

Although the Ming Empire allowed nobles to have private soldiers, private soldiers were not formed at will.For example: for titles below the duke of the state, their private soldiers cannot form cavalry.Except for the prince's three guards, any honorable private soldiers cannot form crossbowmen.

Zhu Qi's Prince Zhao's Mansion is very huge, even after moving in for three days, Zhu Qi still hasn't visited the whole palace.

"Eunuch Hai, I will leave you to worry about the affairs of the palace in the future. Tell me about the situation of the palace." Zhu Qi looked at the palace man in front of him with an extremely kind tone.

Hai Gonggong was originally named Hai Dafu, and he was originally an old man who served by Zhu Qi's mother and concubine.However, since Zhu Qi was born and his mother and concubine died of illness, Eunuch Hai has been serving Zhu Qi all the time. It can be said that he is Zhu Qi's most trusted and closest person.

Ever since Zhu Biao promised Zhu Qi to leave the palace last winter, Eunuch Hai has started to take care of the affairs of Prince Zhao's residence.

In fact, Eunuch Hai is not very old, only in his 40s.Zhu Qi heard from Eunuch Hai that his mother and concubine were kind to Eunuch Hai back then, so Eunuch Hai followed Zhu Qi wholeheartedly.But for a palace man like Eunuch Hai, it is an excellent way out to follow the prince out of the palace.

"Reporting to the prince, the palace was built by the Ministry of Industry, and all the residences of the princes are the same. Our Prince Zhao's residence is located on the east side of the palace, five miles from north to south and six miles from east to west."

"In addition, when the prince opened the mansion, the palace granted two hundred palace servants and fifty palace maids according to the rules. These people are now under the management of old slaves to take care of the affairs of the mansion. In addition, the Ministry of War has allocated a hundred soldiers with a hundred elite soldiers. Husuo guards the palace."

"My lord, according to the rules, the lord can recruit 300 private soldiers from three hundred households, and the remaining 200 people are ignored by the imperial court. The royal palace needs to recruit them by itself. In addition, the horses, armor, and weapons of the newly recruited private soldiers also need to be sent to the royal palace. The Ministry of War records the purchase."

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "The palace is in the imperial city, these hundred soldiers are enough to protect the palace, let's talk about recruiting soldiers and horses later!"

Eunuch Hai hurriedly nodded in response.His Royal Highness King Zhao is still young, so he doesn't need to make meritorious deeds for the time being. It's okay to recruit this private soldier slowly in the future! However, this private soldier is the protection of the palace, so I should pay more attention to it in the future.Eunuch Hai, who has been by Zhu Qi's side since he was a child, knows that although his prince is young and frail, he is extremely intelligent.This private soldier will definitely be useful in the future.

Zhu Qi didn't know what Eunuch Hai was thinking, but even if he knew, he didn't care.As the general manager of the palace, Eunuch Hai and Zhu Qi are both prosperous and harmed. Zhu Qi believes that Eunuch Hai will not harm him.For example: Zhu Qi faced death threats at any time in the past few years. Once Zhu Qi died, Eunuch Hai would definitely bury Zhu Qi with him.Eunuch Hai, who would rather be buried with Zhu Qi than Zhu Qi, holds a heavy weight in Zhu Qi's heart.

"The prince opened the mansion. In addition to the customization of the palace and the court, His Majesty and the Empress also bestowed a lot of property, and the old slave has already sorted it into the warehouse. In addition, although His Royal Highness and the princes are not in the imperial capital, but the Prince's Mansion Gifts have been delivered to the residence of all princes."

"Your Majesty has granted ten Huangzhuang here, with a total of more than 20 mu of fertile land; in addition, there are three mines; two mountains and forests."

"The empress has given a total of 12 shops and restaurants in the imperial capital; five imperial villages, with a total of [-] mu of fertile land; in addition, there are many silks and satins, and various utensils."

"The prince of the East Palace sent two imperial estates, totaling 100 mu of fertile land; ten shops and restaurants in the imperial capital; and [-] fine horses and [-] sets of armor and weapons. These fine horses, armor, and weapons are all It has already been filed in the Ministry of War. There is no need for the palace to go to the Ministry of War to purchase. In addition, the Crown Princess sent a lot of elixir, cloth, daily necessities, etc."

"The second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince each gave one Huangzhuang, and the sixth prince and the seventh prince jointly donated one Huangzhuang. There are five Huangzhuangs in total, with a total of 13 mu of fertile land; in addition, several princes also sent cooks. , gardeners, etc., a total of 30 people. There are also a lot of other items, and the old slave has already arranged storage."

Zhu Qi nodded when he heard the words, but his tongue clicked in his heart.

The royal father, the queen mother, and a few elder brothers are very generous.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.Although Zhu Qi's reputation is not obvious, the prince and Emperor Hongwu knew his talent, so naturally they attached great importance to it.

The prince attaches great importance to Zhu Qi, and the other princes will naturally befriend Zhu Qi.Under the influence of the prince, the princes actually had a very good relationship with Zhu Qi.Strictly speaking, the princes gained a lot from watching Zhu Qi practice boxing.They naturally attached great importance to Zhu Qi leaving the house.Moreover, Zhu Qi's intelligence also left a deep impression on the princes. It is not difficult to understand that it is not difficult to use some of the goods that the family does not lack to pay Zhu Qi well.

On the mainland of China, all major empires are the same. Except for the prince, the prince cannot have too many intersections with the civil and military nobles.Of course, except after the prince is on a mission.The princes who can lead the missions are at least above the innate realm and have been recognized by the emperor. These princes will be the future pillars of the empire in the future, and the friendship between civil and military honors naturally has investment value.

A prince who has not been promoted to the Xiantian realm, not to mention the royal family, even the civil and military nobles don't care.

Therefore, when Zhu Qi left the mansion, the civil and military nobles would naturally not give gifts to Zhu Qi.In the eyes of Wenwu Xungui, Zhu Qi is not yet independent. Once Zhu Qi breaks through the innate realm, Wenwu Xungui will naturally not ignore Zhu Qi, and will naturally send a congratulatory gift when the time comes.In other words, according to the unspoken rules of the mainland of China, princes who are not in the innate realm are not qualified to start a mansion and stand on their own.Even if the government is opened, no one will recognize it.

However, civil and military honors do not give gifts, but the imperial court will give one, and it is a big gift.

Zhu Qi was granted the title of King of Zhao. Although he did not have the jurisdiction and administrative power of Zhao, the Zhao Palace could enjoy [-]% of Zhao's taxes every year.You must know that Zhaodi is a huge area with three counties.A county in the Ming Empire is not much smaller than a province in Zhu Qi's previous life. Although the mainland of China is an agrarian and feudal society, thinking about [-]% of the taxes in the three counties makes Zhu Qi excited.

Zhu Qi was canonized as the king of Zhao in the third year of Hongwu, which means that from the third year of Hongwu, [-]% of the taxes in the three counties of Zhaodi belonged to him.It's just that Zhu Qi didn't go out of the palace before, and these taxes were left in the household department.

However, now that Zhu Qi has opened the mansion, the Household Department will naturally hand over this part of the proceeds to the Zhao Palace. Although Zhu Qi is a prince who has not been recognized by civil and military nobles, the Household Department does not dare to withhold the Zhao Palace's income.

Emperor Hongwu couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.
