I am Da Song

Chapter 172 Arranged Marriage
In Zhao Huan's previous life, apart from one empress, there were ten other women, but none of them were made concubines, only the level of talents.

In addition to these ten talents, there are also a group of female officials.Officials are not in charge of serving the bed, but serving as officials such as internal ministers, internal historians, ceremonies, food, and clothes.

The female official Zhao Huan stayed, and the ten strangers were sent out of the palace by this decree.

The emperor set an example, and the other princes and concubines had to leave the palace to make their own living.

The most outstanding characteristic of Zhao Huan is that he is a time traveler, and he does not have too many emotional entanglements with these large-scale relatives.Making decisions can be completely rational, and everything is for the sake of the long-term stability of the dynasty.

Therefore, the other clan children of the old Zhao family had a miserable life.Not only must he serve in the military with scholars and common people, but he also has no hereditary privilege.

All the princes who have not served in the army for three years will not be granted titles.

The title of title decreases from generation to generation, and disappears in the fifth generation.That is to say, after the death of a prince, his son will be reduced by one level to be the Duke of the founding state, the grandson will be reduced by one level to be the founding marquis, the great-grandson will be reduced to the founding uncle, and then the founding son and founding male.In the end, everyone disappeared.

Moreover, once these princes and concubines get married, the imperial court will no longer give them salaries.

But in contrast, the imperial court did not restrict them from making a living by themselves.They can buy property, and they can also travel around the world to study and make a living.

Zhao Huan hoped that the descendants of the Zhao family would increase their blood and accumulate some talents during their travels.

Song Dynasty will never raise the princes in the fiefdom like raising pigs, and allow them to harm the people.

So Zhao Huan could understand Zhao Jin'er's situation when he heard what Zhao Jin'er said, and asked with a light smile, "Miss 27 has a crush? She wants to arrange the dowry herself. She doesn't wait for her father and brother to preside over it."

Zhao Jin'er's soft eyes dimmed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "Third brother died in Jinying. Daddy has too many children and cannot take care of him. So I can only ask elder brother for help. If elder brother doesn't care about me, I might really I can't buy a dowry."

Hearing Zhao Jin'er's words, Zhao Huan was finally moved.The third brother is Zhao Kai, King of Yun. He was trapped in Jinying and died tragically for the Tokyo War.

The reason why Zhao Jin'er wanted to mention Zhao Kai was because they were both born to the noble concubine Yisu, and they were brothers and sisters of the same mother.

Although there are more than 70 brothers and sisters born to the Supreme Emperor, Zhao Kai is the closest to her.

As Zhao Kai died in the heroic defense of Tokyo, she couldn't count on the remaining 70 half-brothers and sisters to arrange her dowry.

The so-called elder brother is like a father, she can only come to her elder brother, who is the current son.

Zhao Huan said: "I remember that every soldier who died in battle was generously compensated by the court. As a child of the royal family, the third brother should not be missing?"

Zhao Jin'er nodded slightly, and said: "There is indeed a pension, but I don't know where I might marry, and I don't know if I will be with my mother in the future, so I left this pension to my mother."

Zhao Huan sighed lightly, it was not easy to be born in an emperor's family.

The younger sister spoke so frankly that Zhao Huan no longer felt that this was a princess who wanted to find the emperor to make a behind-the-scenes deal.

Apparently this is a sister asking her brother for a favor.If Zhao Huan is not the emperor, then at this time he should find a way to help him buy a piece of real estate from Kaifeng Mansion.

But Zhao Huan, as the emperor, set an example for the world.Once you speak, how can you make your officials obey the law, be honest and self-disciplined?
After thinking for a while, Zhao Huan gave a wry smile and asked, "Is Shaotian New District so hot? Even you, the emperor who is in the deep palace, knows it?"

Zhao Jin'er saw a smile finally showing on his elder brother's indifferent face, and immediately knew that his courageous attempt today had achieved results, immediately smiled happily, and replied obediently: "The news in the new district can be described as noisy, and there is no one in Tokyo. No one knows, everyone knows. Today I also found out that the land has increased to more than [-] guan per mu. I have saved a total of [-] guan from my daily salary and the rewards from my parents on festivals. Even the lowest two acres can’t afford it.”

In the Song Dynasty, no matter officials or palaces, their salaries were very generous.

The salary of the prime minister and the privy envoy is three hundred thousand per month, which is three hundred guan.One year plus the emperor's reward, holiday benefits, year-end rewards, etc. can easily break through [-] guan.

For county magistrates with lower ranks, there are also [-] guans per month in large counties, and [-] guans in small counties.The various benefits of county magistrates in large counties are close to a thousand per year.

In short, in the Song Dynasty, being an official was the easiest job to achieve wealth.Even if there is no corruption, it can be achieved in as little as two years at the fastest. -
Hearing that Zhao Jin'er had tens of thousands of family fortunes, Zhao Huan glanced at the little rich woman, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, he said, "Miss 27 wants to buy a dowry instead of living in Shaotian New District?"

Zhao Jin'er nodded quickly, and said, "It's not a dowry. I'm just worried that I won't have a salary in the future, and there must be an income to support it."

"The 27th sister listened to my words and exchanged all assets into imperial banknotes. Don't buy real estate for the time being. Wait to buy the land that Kaifeng Mansion will sell later."

Zhao Jin'er nodded immediately, and said obediently: "Then I'll listen to elder brother."

Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing, and took another serious look at this young and soft Empress.Beneath this immature appearance is an exquisite and intelligent heart.

She firmly believes without asking why, and entrusts everything to you. Which brother would not have a good impression of this kind of sister?
Zhao Huan then explained to her: "These residential areas are aimed at scholar-bureaucrats. They have a lot of money, and it is difficult for you to compete with them. And because the crowd is fixed, it will be difficult for you to sell value-added in the future. But the next workshop area and shops Scholar-bureaucrats generally don’t intervene in these districts. You can take advantage of the opportunity to buy. With more than 1 yuan, you can buy two or three properties.”

"As long as you don't break the law and discipline, whether you open a workshop or a store, you can have a steady stream of income. Compared with the narrowness of scholar-bureaucrats, these assets are easier to increase in value and easier to transfer."

Zhao Jin'er's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled softly and peacefully.Of course she knew that her elder brother, the current emperor, was the mastermind behind Shaotian New Area.His suggestions are absolutely golden and jade good words, which can best help him get the most benefits.

So she immediately smiled obediently, nodded and said: "I will listen to the arrangement of the elder brother."

Zhao Huan had a good impression of this well-behaved and gentle girl, and before she left, he asked, "Does Miss 27 have someone in mind now?"

Zhao Jin'er was so exquisite that she immediately understood the meaning of the elder brother's words, bowed her head obediently, and said: "I am in the palace and have not had much contact with men. Marriage matters are all arranged by the elder brother."

"Haha, good!" Zhao Huan became more and more satisfied, and said, "Then I do have a beloved man who can make a good marriage with Miss 27."
