After eating, Zhao Bin took Wang Wu and Ling'er to the front hall. After Chunxi saw Zhao Bin coming out, he hurriedly came to greet him and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to the prince."
"Get up, has anyone been here this morning?" Zhao Bin asked.
"Back to the prince, Mr. Lin came here with some people in the morning, but he heard that the prince was still resting and did not enter the mansion. He said that he had something to do at the government office and would come to see the prince again in the afternoon." Chunxi explained the above situation.
"Okay, I understand. Go and call Xing'er, Cui'er, and Commander Xiao. I have something to say."
After a while, several people came to the hall one after another. After each saluted, Zhao Bin said: "Except for the five hundred guards led by Xiao, the ones who came here with me from the capital are you. You are also relatively new to me. people.
Starting from today, we will distribute the affairs in the house. Xing'er, you should be the oldest among the three of you, and you are also literate. From now on, you will be responsible for managing the accounts of the house. I will help you find a suitable accountant to help you in the future. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," Myolie replied without much expression. In fact, since Zhao Bin left Beijing, all the money and property have been placed with Myolie for safekeeping.
"How much money is left in the account?" Zhao Bin asked
"We brought about 10,000 taels when we came out of the capital. Along the way, including yesterday's consumption, we only have about 7,000 taels left. But fortunately, the autumn harvest is coming soon, so there will be some income." He replied quickly.
In three years, Qingzhi County paid back 100,000 snowflakes of silver. I am really speechless when I think that I am a dignified third prince, His Highness King Yan, and his net worth is less than 10,000 yuan.
Slowly think of ways to earn more. It seems that people have to work hard no matter what. After coming back to his senses, Zhao Bin continued:
"Tui'er, you will be responsible for the affairs in the backyard. Let Chunxi go to the tooth shop later and help you find a few people. In addition, Chunxi, the palace still needs a housekeeper. From now on, the servants in the palace and the front yard will all be in charge. It’s up to you to take care of it”
After hearing this, Chunxi knelt on the ground again with a thud and smashed her head on the ground like a pound of garlic: "I thank the prince, I thank the prince. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not let the prince down."
"Okay, okay, get up, I haven't finished speaking yet. You have to remember what happened the night before we left Beijing. People in the palace must have clean origins and be reliable. There must be no loose ends. Appear," Zhao Bin reminded.
"I understand the importance, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Chunxi replied solemnly.
"In addition, Commander Xiao, you and the five hundred brothers were originally the Imperial Father's Imperial Army. You followed me to this miserable place, and I have wronged you." Zhao Bin looked at Xiao Chu with a serious face.
Xiao Chu was also shocked when he heard this. He quickly knelt down on one knee, beat his chest with one hand and said: "Since I have accepted the emperor's order and swore to protect the prince to the death, how dare I say I feel wronged."
Zhao Bin walked forward, held up Xiao Chu with both hands and said, "If Commander Xiao can live up to me, I will definitely live up to all my brothers."
After speaking, Zhao Bin turned around and sat back in his seat.
"There are also a few things that you need to do. First, investigate the residents around the palace secretly. I hope there are no hidden dangers.
Second, inquire about the prices of the surrounding houses. Later we will purchase the houses surrounding the palace. Part of it was reserved as military quarters, and part of it was reserved for other purposes.
Third, you take my token and investigate the true situation of the city defense army, overtly or covertly. From now on, Yancheng will be our base camp, and peripheral defense must still be our top priority.
This border town has been attacked by nomads from the north several times in history. I don’t want this to happen to us one day and end up dead. "
"Your Majesty, according to the court system, this internal affairs belongs to our palace, but we have no right to interfere with this army. Although the palace guards cooperate with the local governor, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War."
"Is that so? So the king only has five hundred guardsmen that he can use?" Zhao Bin asked.
"The government office also has some government officials, about five hundred of them. These people are mainly responsible for maintaining public security in the city and the defense of each government office," Xiao Chu replied.
"Since it is not under our control, then you should investigate it privately and understand it clearly so that you can have a good idea."
"Yes. I will obey your orders," Xiao Chu replied loudly. Although they were both in the capital in the past, Xiao Chu didn't have much contact with the third prince of King Yan and didn't know him well, but now he has an indescribable feeling for this prince of Yan.
"Ling'er, you should stay with me from now on and help me grind and massage." Zhao Bin turned to Ling'er who was standing aside and said with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
Ling'er happily replied: "It's the prince, I obey my orders." Then he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Yan Mo Ling'er knows, but what is massage?"
"The prince will teach you step by step later." Zhao Bin acted as if he was saying something very important.
"Okay, let's settle things like this for now, there will be other things in the future..."
"Ahem..." Wang Wu, who was standing on the other side, let out a light cough.
"In the future..."
"Ahem..." Before Zhao Bin could finish speaking, Wang Wu next to him coughed again.
"Holy shit, what are you doing? You have something to say and nothing to say?" Zhao Bin knew what Wang Wu wanted to do. He wanted to ask, what should he do if others have arranged things?
"Your Majesty, everyone else has arranged things, what are you doing?" Wang Wu asked with an aggrieved look.
"Commander Xiao, tell him what he should do." After saying that, Zhao Bin walked out of the hall, and Ling'er followed closely.
"Brother Wu, you are the prince's personal bodyguard. You only have one thing to do, which is to protect the prince personally. Although the prince has not said it explicitly, you are the most important person among us." After Xiao Chu finished speaking, he gave Wang Wu a look like you understand.
"Oh!!" Wang Wu showed a suddenly enlightened expression.
