The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 58 Performing their duties
After Zhao Si left, he left all 11 people including Wang Wu and Lao Qi in the Prince's Mansion of Guangping County.Zhao Gou looked at the crowd with a smile, and said apologetically, "Brothers, I didn't know before, so I acted hard. I hope you will forgive me! Since you are all willing to follow me, I am really honored."

Wang Wugong replied, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. It is our good fortune to be by your side."

His words did not contain any compliments, nor did they belittle themselves, but the most genuine thoughts in their hearts.After all, Zhao Gou's martial arts convinced him, and they could improve their martial arts again by staying with Zhao Gou.Moreover, Zhao Gou is an important minister of the imperial court, an extremely human minister, and the most beloved nine princes of the current emperor.Either way, it's a good choice.

They also understood Zhao Si's good intentions. The 11 people followed Zhao Gou and grew up with him. In the future, they will become generals or have power in the government.They will be the first batch of Zhao Gou's subordinates to join the main court, and they are also a force of Zhao Gou. Their other skills are useless.

Seeing that everyone was not familiar with each other, Zhao Gou was a little polite and said with a smile: "You will all be brothers of my Zhao Gou from now on, so you don't have to call the county king. It sounds awkward. If you don't mind, you can call me 'Old Nine' That’s fine too. Besides, father and uncle Wang all shouted that.”

Wang Wuyi shook his head and said: "This is not acceptable, you are always the status of the county king, besides, the emperor and the owner of the villa are both your close relatives and your elders, so it is only natural to call you 'Old Nine' .We are all your subordinates, how can we sit on an equal footing with the county king. How about we call you 'Young Master'?"

Zhao Gou thought about it, nodded and said: "In that case, then call 'Young Master', it sounds much better than the county king!"

Everyone unanimously called Zhao Gou "Young Master" instead of "Jun Wang".As for Zhao Gou, when he becomes a prince in the future, he can change his mind at that time.Everyone saw that Zhao Gou was very kind and easy-going, and they couldn't help but feel a little happy. Compared with Zhao Gou, who was so angry and heavy-handed yesterday, they were completely different people.Yesterday, Zhao Gou was full of anger in his heart, and he wanted to vent, but he only held back some of his mercy, and beat everyone seriously.When Zhao Gou saw that their faces were blue and red, some places were still bruised, and some people still had difficulty walking or coughing, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Then, Zhao Gou asked everyone to return to the inner hall. The candlesticks were filled with dozens of candles. Under the illumination of the bronze mirror, it was like daytime, but the light flickered a little.Zhao Gou stepped into the footsteps and saw that the tables and chairs in the inner hall were all available, all the doors and windows were replaced with new ones, and even the furniture was made of mahogany. He sighed in his heart: "It's really a luxury. I don’t know how much it will cost to use mahogany furniture!”

Wang Wu used to be the housekeeper of Amber Villa, and was transferred by Zhao Si to work in the Wangfu of Guangping County.All the furnishings here are arranged in accordance with the rules of the royal family, and he also arranges them by himself, and everyone works together to arrange them neatly.Now, they are no longer people in the rivers and lakes, they seem to have adapted to their status as servants, and obey Zhao Gou's orders.

Wang Wu also reported the area of ​​the house, as well as the rooms and layout to Zhao Gou one by one.There are not only pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the house, but also small bridges and flowing water, as well as places for martial arts training.

Zhao Gou was dumbfounded after hearing this, and exclaimed, "Fifth Brother, how big is this place? How come there are so many rooms, and how do we live for just 11 people? Isn't it a bit big?"

"I don't know, my lord. According to etiquette, your house is considered average!" Wang Wu said with a slight smile.

Zhao Gou was surprised and thought: "Not big enough? If this is in later generations, let alone tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of assets, if you are not the world's richest man, you can't afford to live at all. It is simply magnificent and worthy It’s more like a mansion than a mansion, but it still looks like a courtyard house, I never thought I’d become a ‘billionaire’ in Song Dynasty!”

Wang Wu was still a little surprised when he saw Zhao Gou, with a puzzled look, he explained: "Usually speaking, the mansion bestowed by first-rank officials in the current dynasty requires [-] rooms, and that of second-rank officials has fifteen rooms. A high-ranking official should have fifteen rooms and a title, so this mansion covers an area of ​​four acres. If it is a prince with outstanding merits, it can cover an area of ​​up to ninety acres. There are not only pavilions, pavilions, but also The back garden and other other courtyards. However, in the current dynasty, there are very few people who actually have this mansion, and some county kings cannot open mansions outside, and can only live in the palace. After the title is deprived, the mansion will be taken back."

"This mansion is a geomantic treasure land chosen by the emperor himself. The layout and specifications here were designed and built at the highest level of the county king. Originally, this mansion was also owned by a county king, and it has been kept since that man was demoted to a commoner. When the emperor saw that the young master was opening the mansion, he gave you this mansion. He also ordered the craftsmen and others to prepare it a year in advance. It was originally given to you as the mansion when you were crowned king. If so, maybe this mansion will be expanded, and it is up to you to decide whether you want it or not."

Zhao Gou nodded dumbfounded, speechless in surprise, he did not expect to get such a reward when he became an official.Now, he understands why officials want to get promoted and get rich.Afterwards, Wang Wu also said that Zhao Gou hadn't married a wife yet, and the back garden had been vacant without any decorations, so Zhao Gou didn't say anything.

Finally, Zhao Gou asked the names of all the people. Among the 11 of them, Wang Wu was the biggest, followed by Wang Wu, Chen Liu, Zhao Qi, He Jiu, Gong Shi, Huang Shishi, Yang Shisan, Li Shiba, and so on. Li Nineteen, Shen Twenty, 28.After that, everyone also revealed their previous identities one after another.

Zhao Gou nodded, seeing that Shiba and 19 looked similar, and asked, "Are you two brothers?" Li Shiba and Li 19 nodded, they were brothers of the same mother.Then, Zhao Gou looked at 28 again, and said, "Why do they all have surnames, but you don't? What's going on?"

On 28, he said: "Young master, only those who rank in the top 20 in terms of martial arts ranking and achievements in the villa have surnames, and the rest are all called by code names."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Gou secretly thought about a person's number after twenty, and then named him a surname. He always felt a little awkward, but he understood in his heart.Zhao Gou looked at everyone doing a good job dignifiedly, without the slightest disrespect, and said with a dumb smile: "There are no outsiders at the moment, only we are here, so there is no need to stick to etiquette. Everyone sit down casually. It's really nice to sit like this. I'm not used to it."

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, the 11 of them sat casually, some raised their legs, some rested their chins on their hands, and some lay down. Only Wang Wuyi still sat like this.He knew that Wang Wu was the housekeeper before, so he was more courteous than others, so he didn't say anything, and said, "Since you are following me, you don't need to be called by code names from now on. name?"

Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads. They were all wandering orphans. They were only a few years old when they joined Amber Villa. They couldn't remember anything at all, and they couldn't even remember their own names.Then, everyone shook their heads in unison.Seeing this, Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Since that's the case, why don't I name the brothers? As for the surname, don't change it, just follow the previous surname. Only 28 needs the full name."

Everyone applauded in unison, who wouldn't want to have their own name?Even if the name is just a code name, if you have your own name, at least someone will remember who you used to be.If there is no name, no one will remember his death in the future. Such a life is really too sad.Everyone grew up in Amber Villa, and they got used to having no names and only remembering their code names. They still desperately hope to have a name, their own name.

"Wang Wu, your name from now on will be Wang Wu!" Zhao Gou said with a smile, Wang Wuyi thought it was very strange, why did he still have this name.However, Zhao Gou explained again: "Fifth brother, your previous name was a number. This is not a number, but the 'wu' of 'martial arts'. I wonder if fifth brother likes it?"

Wang Wu replied excitedly: "Thank you, my lord!"

In the end, Zhao Gou changed all their names, leaving only the surnames. Some things have the same pronunciation but different words, and some things have been completely changed. The order is: Wang Wu, Chen Liu, Zhao Qi, He Huan, Gong Cang, Huang Shi, Yang Chan, Li Shien, Li Shiren, Shen Liang, Zhao Zhen.Everyone has their own names, and since then they no longer only have code names.

Then, Zhao Gou re-divided them and performed their duties.Wang Wu is the housekeeper, Zhao Qi and He Huan are in charge of the account room, Shen Liang and Zhao Zhen are in charge of the kitchen, Li Shien and Li Shiren are the nurses, and the other four are servants. The former identity of the person was the waiter of the shop, but it was just going back to the past, so there was nothing.Moreover, the four of them will also take care of the study room and the back garden from time to time.

Everyone was excited. Zhao Gou's arrangements were all based on the division of labor they had been engaged in before.
