Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14761: Take Refuge (I)

This Star Lord's Mansion covers a very large area. After all, this is Fuguang Star, not the capital star. The capital star has a large population. The area of ​​the entire capital star is about the same as that of Fuguang Star, but there are more than 10 billion people living on it. This is because the capital star controls the population. Otherwise, there will be more people living there. As for Fuguang Star, there are only 500 million people. It can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated. Therefore, every inch of land on the capital star is worth a lot of money, but here on Fuguang Star, the land is not that valuable. In addition, there is snow here for more than half a year, so the land price here is very cheap.

The area of ​​the Star Lord's Mansion is even larger than that of the East Palace, and it is divided into the inner and outer palaces. The inner palace is where people live, and the outer palace is where offices are located. Of course, people can also live here, and Zuoqiu Zheng's wives and concubines moved directly into the inner palace. There are many robots here, so moving things is not a problem, and Zuoqiu Zheng's wife commanded the servants, eunuchs and robots to place various things and arrange living places for the servants and concubines in the family.

In the Star Empire, there is no rule of monogamy, but there are requirements. Ordinary people, if you don't have an official position, you can only have one wife and one concubine at most. Officials below the fifth rank can have one wife and two concubines. Officials above the fifth rank and below the third rank can have one wife and four concubines. Officials above the third rank can have one wife, one side wife, and eight concubines. A prince can have one wife, two side wives, and eight concubines. A crown prince can have one wife, two side wives, and ten concubines. The emperor can have one empress, four concubines, and the remaining concubines can be eight. There are no regulations for the rest, such as noble ladies, maids, and constant ladies. This is also the most characteristic point of the emperor. The crown prince now has one wife, one side wife, and three concubines. For those in a higher position like the crown prince, they generally don't marry too many wives and concubines. On the contrary, some wealthy people in the folk want to marry more, but there are regulations. What should they do if they can't have so many concubines? The only option is to find a concubine, which is also a workaround. Under normal circumstances, the government will not interfere, as long as the woman is willing.

You have to know that the wives and concubines of ordinary people are protected by the law and can be divorced. When they divorce, they can take away part of the family property. But if it is a concubine, she is not protected by the law. Therefore, many women are unwilling to be concubines. The same is true for officials. The wives and concubines are protected by the law, but if it is a concubine without a formal status, it is not allowed.

In the prince's harem, there is the Crown Princess Lu. She comes from a family of minor officials, but because her family does business very well, there is no problem with housekeeping. The prince also likes her very much, and Lu is not a jealous person, so the relationship between the couple has always been good.

The so-called side wife actually has a lower status than the main wife, but higher status than the concubine. For example, there is a regulation in the Star Empire that if an official wants to divorce his main wife, the main wife can at least take half of his property, and must pay a certain amount of alimony every month in the future. If the side wife divorces, she can only take 30% of the official's property, and she will also receive alimony every month, but it is lower than that of the main wife. If a concubine wants to divorce, she can only get one layer of property, and she will also receive alimony every month, which is even less. As for the concubine, she can't get any property and no alimony.

The prince's harem has always been very peaceful. The housekeeper, Ms. Lu, is very capable, and the prince's concubine is a woman from an unrelated family with a gentle personality, so there has never been any fighting in the harem, which is already very good.

The prince did not care about the affairs of the backyard. With Lu around, the prince did not have to worry about the affairs of the backyard. After the prince arrived here, he asked Fusheng to allocate rooms, offices, and living quarters to Dewey and the others. Of course, it was impossible for him to let Dewey and the others live in the Star Lord's Mansion all the time, and he would arrange a house for them outside in the future, but not today.

By the time they were settled, it was time for the banquet. Corrector Guo came to pick up Zuo Qiuzheng and the others in person and took them directly to the largest hotel on Fuguang Star. It was at this time that Zuo Qiuzheng discovered that most of the buildings on Fuguang Star were white. Zuo Qiuzheng couldn't help but feel curious. He said to Corrector Guo, who was in the same car with him, "Master Guo, I noticed that most of the buildings on Fuguang Star are white. Why is that?"

Corrector Guo immediately spoke up and said, "To answer your question, there are two reasons. One is that Fuguang Star is rich in this kind of white stone. Because it is convenient to obtain money, early people used this stone to build houses. So the houses at that time were all white, and it gradually became a tradition. Another reason is that the snow accumulates for a long time here on Fuguang Star, and the sunlight is very strong during the period of time when there is no snow every year. Painting the houses white is not only beautiful, but also will not make the houses too hot on the days when the sun is the strongest. In winter, it will make Fuguang Star even more beautiful. So slowly, all the houses on Fuguang Star became white. Later, Fuguang Star even held a referendum, and in the end, a law was almost 100% passed. In the future, the houses on Fuguang Star must be white. This is why all the houses on Fuguang Star are white now. This can be regarded as a feature of Fuguang Star. Every year, people come here to travel, one is to see the snow, and the other is to see the white houses on Fuguang Star." Corrector Guo then explained to Zuoqiu Zheng why the houses on Fuguang Star are all white. Zuo Qiuzheng nodded. He really didn't know all this. Some of the introductions he had seen about Fuguang Star were impossible to be so detailed. At this time, the car stopped in front of a hotel. The hotel was not very tall, with only a few dozen floors. Compared with the buildings on the Capital Star that were hundreds of floors high, this hotel was really not high, but it was already the tallest building on Fuguang Star.

Corrector Guo led Zuo Qiuzheng's team into the building and took the elevator to the top floor. Some officials were already waiting for Zuo Qiuzheng and his team here. When they saw Zuo Qiuzheng, they immediately saluted him, and Zuo Qiuzheng also returned the salute. Then they went to the banquet hall. What they had here was not a buffet-style cocktail party, but a banquet with each person having a seat. Zuo Qiuzheng sat in the main seat, and Corrector Guo and Jia Yu sat on his left and right sides. The people below were also divided into two rows, left and right. Du Wei and others sat on the right, while the officials from the original Fuguangxing sat on the left. After Zuo Qiuzheng sat down, the waiters immediately began to serve the dishes.

Corrector Guo smiled and said to Zuo Qiuzheng, "Your Highness, there are not many delicious foods here on Fu Guang Star due to the environment, but the whole lamb feast here on Fu Guang Star is a must-try. Your Highness, please try it." Corrector Guo had been in contact with Zuo Qiuzheng for some time today, and he found that Zuo Qiuzheng was still easy to talk to, which made him feel a little relaxed. When talking to Zuo Qiuzheng, he also seemed more casual. Zuo Qiuzheng was not surprised, but smiled and said, "The whole lamb feast here on Fu Guang Star is very famous. I heard that it was presented as a tribute to my father and he praised it highly. It looks like I'm in for a treat today." After he finished speaking, he tasted a bite of the mutton, which made his eyes light up. The mutton here on Fu Guang Star is very tender, and most importantly, it doesn't have any mutton smell. It's very delicious. After Zuo Qiuzheng took a bite of the mutton, he nodded, then he looked at everyone and said, "Not bad, it tastes very good."

Correction Guo and the others all looked relieved, and then Correction Guo toasted Zuo Qiuzheng, who took a sip. The atmosphere of the banquet gradually improved, and Correction Guo and the others even prepared some singing and dancing performances. The singing and dancing at Fu Guangxing was very different from the ones Zuo Qiuzheng had seen before. The singing and dancing Zuo Qiuzheng had seen before were mostly soft and beautiful, while the singing and dancing at Fu Guangxing were more powerful and wild, and Zuo Qiuzheng liked them very much.

This banquet was very successful. It lasted for about two hours before it dispersed. Zuo Qiuzheng returned to the Star Lord's Mansion with a little drunkenness. After a night's rest, the next morning, Zuo Qiuzheng had something to eat and went straight to his office. Then he sent someone to call Guo Zheng to his office. Guo Zheng had obviously been waiting for Zuo Qiuzheng's summons. When he arrived at Zuo Qiuzheng's office, he immediately saluted Zuo Qiuzheng. Zuo Qiuzheng waved his hand and said, "My dear Guo, you don't have to be polite. Sit down."

Guo Zheng responded and sat down. Then Zuo Qiuzheng said, "I called Guo Changshi here today because I want to hear his report on Fu Guangxing. Although I have some knowledge about Fu Guangxing, I don't know much. So today I want to ask Guo Changshi to tell me about Fu Guangxing. Does Guo Changshi need to prepare anything?"

Corrector Guo had known that this day would come, so he didn't need to prepare at all. He hurriedly said, "In reply to Your Highness, I have already made some preparations. Please look, Your Highness, this is the memorial I prepared." After saying that, he took out a memorial and presented it with both hands.

Fu Sheng took the memorial and placed it in front of Zuo Qiuzheng. Zuo Qiuzheng took the memorial and read its contents carefully. Correction Guo then slowly began to explain to Zuo Qiuzheng the situation on Fu Guangxing. Zuo Qiuzheng read it very seriously. He knew that he would be staying in Fu Guangxing for a while, so he had to understand the situation on Fu Guangxing well.

At this time, a young eunuch came in, walked to Fu Sheng's side, and whispered a few words to Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng was stunned, then he waved his hand and let the young eunuch leave. Then Fu Sheng walked to Zuo Qiuzheng's side, lowered his head and said in Zuo Qiuzheng's ear: "Your Highness, there are two people outside the door just now asking to see you. These two people said that they are friends of Mr. Zhao Hai. They came to seek refuge with Your Highness after being introduced by Mr. Zhao Hai. What do you think?" After Fu Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Qiuzheng. When Zuo Qiuzheng heard what Fu Sheng said, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes couldn't help but brighten. Then he waved his hand at Guo Zheng and said: "Elder Guo, I have something to do today. Can you come to report yesterday?"
