The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 196 Chang Tian's Princess Treatment

Princess Wanping's big wedding should be prepared, no less than a princess getting married.

Back then, Chang Tian saved the lives of Emperor Hongzhi and his wife in the elephant training camp.When she gets married, Emperor Hongzhi will never treat her badly.

Before the big wedding, the five steps of acceptance, name asking, Najib, Nazheng, and requesting a date are all in charge of the doctor sent by the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Hongzhi also gave his righteous sister Chang Tian a decent princess mansion.

Fifteen days before the wedding, Chang Feng and Huang Yuan came to the princess mansion to hand over the mansion to Qian Neng.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Chang Feng said: "It's broken, it violated the regulations."

Huang Yuan asked, "Why did you violate the rules?"

Chang Feng pointed to the gate of the mansion: "Look, the main gate has five rooms and seven frames. The door knocker is a green copper ring. This is the regulation of the Princess Mansion!"

Qian Neng said with a smile: "You are right! The emperor has an order to ask the internal officials to choose a princess-regulated mansion for Princess Wanping."

"If you just look at the main entrance, there are five rooms and seven frames, but the hall is still nine rooms and eleven frames!"

"Not only that, the emperor also ordered the Ministry of Rites to set the annual salary of Princess Wanping at [-] shi."

In the Ming system, the ranks of daughters of the clan were divided into the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the princess, the princess, the county master, the county monarch, the county monarch, and the township monarch.

The above eight grades all have annual salary.Suilu is divided into two types: pre-marriage and post-marriage.

For example, before the princess gets married, the annual salary is ten bolts of silk, ten bolts of yarn, ten bolts of silk, thirty bolts of silk, thirty bolts of summer cloth, thirty bolts of cotton cloth, and two hundred catties of cotton.

After the wedding, in addition to silk and silk, an additional annual salary of [-] shi was added.

The yearly salary that Emperor Hongzhi set for Chang Tian was also regulated by the princess.

Chang Feng said with emotion: "The emperor treats Tangtang with such kindness as a mountain."

Qian Neng said with a smile: "The most important thing for the emperor is the kinship. The emperor and Princess Wanping are not related by blood, but they have family ties. Not to mention that the princess is also the hero of King Qin's rescue."

The three of them entered the princess mansion.The little eunuchs in the palace, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the handymen are arranging the wedding things in full swing.

Chang Feng saw Mu Bin and Qian Ning standing in the distance.

The two walked up to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng asked: "The commanding envoy is here to arrange the security matters after fifteen days?"

Fifteen days later, Emperor Hongzhi will bring Empress Zhang to the wedding scene in person.It was a big event for the emperor to go out of the palace, so Jin Yiwei naturally sent a big Han general to guard him.

Mu Bin nodded: "Yes. At that time, our Weili will send five hundred big Han generals to accompany us."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "The Commander has worked hard."

Mou Bin sighed: "Since you became free, I have taken care of the affairs of the South and North Divisions. It has made me burnt out."

Chang Feng smiled slyly: "I don't have a job. Every morning I go to court, and after I go to court, I go to Weili to work as an errand."

Chang Feng has indeed been unemployed for the past six months.

Mou Bin is in charge of the South and North Divisions.Whether there is a major case in North Korea or not, there is no need for Chang Feng to handle the case.

In the duty room, Chang Feng only drinks tea and reads books, and chats with Fatty Xu and spanks.

Mou Bin is more than kind, but not capable.Guan Nan and Bei Si are quite struggling.

After seeing Chang Tian's future mansion, Chang Feng felt elated.The younger sister lives well, and the older brother is happy.

At the same time, Shouning Hou Mansion.

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are discussing how much money to give to their sister Chang Tian.

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth: "This time I can't do it! Give Tangtang girl 8000 taels of silver! I won't give any other messy gifts."

"Everything is fake, only silver ingots are real!"

Zhang Yanling patted his thigh: "Okay! If Tangtang girl hadn't stopped in front of a few giant elephants, our sister and the emperor's brother-in-law would have been trampled into flesh by giant elephants."

"Sister Tangtang is our Zhang family's benefactor! What did the literati say? Oh, I will repay you with gratitude!"

"She's getting married, we can't be petty!"

8000 taels of silver is not a small amount.In order not to lose the face of repaying their gratitude, the two uncles made up their minds.

But with such a large amount of money, they still feel a little distressed.

At this moment, the money giver came!

Li Guang, the supervisor of ceremonies, came to the two of them.

Li Guang has unswervingly adhered to the basic policy of hugging the tense queen's big white legs over the years.The civil servants had a lot to impeach him, but he was safe and sound.

Making friends with the Zhang family brothers is also one of his self-protection strategies.

The three greeted each other, sat down and drank tea and chatted.

Hearing that Er Zhang was going to give Chang Tian 8000 taels of congratulatory silver, Li Guang was dumbfounded: "The two uncles are really generous!"

Zhang Heling sighed: "Oh! This is the big wedding of Tangtang girl. We just gritted our teeth and took out 8000 taels of silver!"

"8000 taels, enough to hold four big silver boxes!"

Li Guang praised: "The two uncles are really people who value friendship. But after making such a fortune, the two have to find a business to make up for the shortfall."

"Coincidentally, I came up with a business that will make a lot of money for the two of you."

Zhang Heling's eyes lit up: "Oh? What big business?"

Li Guang said two words: "Run to the sea."

Zhang Heling was a little strange: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, running across the sea is just digging up shit!"

Zhang Heling showed displeasure: "What? Eunuch Li, you are not here to make fun of our two brothers, are you? You let our dignified uncle dig out shit?"

Li Guang said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, be safe and don't be impatient. Let me have a sip of tea and talk carefully."

Li Guang introduced the "running the sea" business in the capital to the Zhang brothers.

The capital has a total population of 53. 53 people, rich or poor, high or low, have to shit at least once a day.

In the [-]th century, China was a highly developed civilization, so naturally it would not directly throw shit on the street like Europe at the same time.

The royal palaces of England and France don't even have toilets.When holding a ball, those dukes, earls and their wives would settle directly in the fireplace or even in the corridor when they were in a hurry.

The capital has a complete ancient sewer system, namely "36 excrement channels".

Human manure is a good fertilizer. The "paohai" dung workers pull out the dung, load it into a truck, transport it out of the city and sell it to the landlords in exchange for real money.

This is a profiteering no-cost business.

Since there are huge profits, there are naturally vested interests.

Shuntian Mansion is in charge of 36 excrement roads.Many ruffians and tyrants in central Beijing went to bribe the officials of Shuntian Mansion to buy one or two excrement roads.

The dung road is a river of gold and silver flowing, allowing local ruffians and bullies to make a lot of money.

After Li Guang finished speaking, Zhang Heling asked, "Just tell me how much money this business can make in a year?"

Li Guang replied: "I calculated it. One dung road can earn at least 500 taels of silver a year! 36 is 8000 taels!"

"As the two uncles of the country, as long as we say hello to Shuntian Mansion, we can round up 36 dung roads!"

"At that time, the mountains of gold and sea of ​​silver will flow into the treasury of the two uncles."

Zhang Yanling raised an objection: "But last year, the emperor just issued an order, ordering the relatives and relatives of the emperor not to do business that competes with the people for profit!"

Li Guang smiled and said, "You've got the point! Digging out the dung is not a business, but a public welfare! It's not against the emperor's will."

The second child, Zhang Yanling, is more intelligent and thoughtful than the eldest, Zhang Heling.

Zhang Yanling asked: "Then why don't you see other nobles in the capital doing this business?"

Li Guangdao: "Because they are superior. They feel that this business is so dirty that they can't get on the stage. To put it bluntly, they can't embarrass themselves!"

Zhang Heling said excitedly: "Hey! Compared with real money, face is nothing!"

"As long as I can make money, let me put my face in my crotch, I will do it!"

"Eunuch Li, tell me, how do you do this?"

Li Guang smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Say hello to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and let those people who were originally in the dung road get out!"

Zhang Yanling asked: "Eunuch Li, if you introduce such a business that is sure to make money and not lose money to our brothers, don't you want to get some profit yourself?"

Li Guangdao: "Ah. I want to partner with the two uncles to do business. Follow you to learn how to make money."

"The business of going to the sea is profitable, and the two uncles get [-]% of the big head. I take a small head, and the [-]% is enough."

The three hit it off.

Zhang Heling said: "Okay, let's make a deal like this!"

In fact, "dung tyrants" have existed since ancient times.In the Southern Song Dynasty, the biggest dung tyrant in Lin'an City was Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

Li Guang was greedy for money and power.But he is very clever at making money.Tie yourself to Zhang's big boat.

Depending on how favored Empress Zhang is, the Zhang family cannot fail.If the Zhang family can't fall, so can Li Guang.

Let's say ten days later, Changfu.

Liu Xiaoyan was helping Chang Tian to try on the princess's wedding dress sent by the Acupuncture Bureau.

Chang Feng watched from the side.

After Chang Tian changed into his wedding clothes, he could be called graceful and luxurious.With a slender figure and a handsome face, the noble beauty is even more beautiful against the backdrop of the fine clothes.

Chang Feng had a sore nose and wanted to cry.The little Tangtang who pestered him to pound garlic at the beginning has finally grown up and is going to marry a woman.

Chang Tian asked, "Brother, is it pretty?"

Chang Feng replied: "Our Tangtang looks good, and we look good in everything we wear."

Chang Tian smiled and said, "I think it looks good too. If Dad was still alive, he would praise the clothes for being beautiful."

What my sister said directly broke the hard-hearted Butcher Chang's defenses.His tears fell like broken beads.

Liu Xiaoyan quickly handed over a handkerchief: "In a few days it will be a big day. Why are you crying?"

Chang Feng whimpered and said, "I'm... happy. My parents left early, and Tangtang and I depend on each other for life."

"I fed her shit and piss. Huh, it's not easy!"

Crocodiles also have tears, let alone humans.

In Chang Feng's heart, it seemed that Tangtang was still that chubby, cute and gluttonous little girl yesterday.Today, she became a big girl who was about to get married.

Chang Tian took off the gift crown: "Brother, I grew up eating garlic and pig's head meat, not feces!"

Chang Feng laughed through his tears: "Yes, yes. Brother was so happy that he said the wrong thing."

Just at this moment, Liu Jin walked in holding a big box.

Liu Jin has a very good relationship with Changfu.When you come to the house, you can come in and out as you like, and you don't need to report.

Seeing Chang Tian, ​​Liu Jin praised: "Tsk tsk, little aunt looks more like a princess than a princess in this outfit!"

After speaking, Liu Jin opened the box.The box is full of luxurious head jewelry.

Liu Jin said: "Little aunt, old nephew, I have no skills. I have worked in the palace for more than 30 years, I have never worked as a fat job, and I haven't saved much money."

"This box of head and face jewelry was bought with my life savings."

"You saved my life. To put it bluntly, I watched you grow up again."

"Don't dislike the bad luck of the eunuch's gift."

Chang Tian quickly took the jewelry box: "Eunuch Liu, no, Uncle Liu, I know you treat me well. How could I dislike you?"

"When I was young, I went to Jinling with my godfather, and you hugged me all the way."

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Liu, you can do whatever you want. Why bother spending all your life savings?"

Liu Jin also began to wipe away tears: "Oh, I can do this for my little aunt. Just don't dislike me."

Chang Feng got up: "Forget it, let them work on women's affairs here. Eunuch Liu, let's drink tea in the hall."

Chang Feng and Liu Jin came to the lobby, drinking tea and chatting.

Chang Feng asked: "Did you do well in Dongchang?"

Liu Jin replied: "It's very good. Eunuch Qian is generous and treats me like his own family. Oh, Eunuch Qian is naturally looking at my uncle's face."

Chang Feng asked: "Where is Kunning Palace? Li Guang didn't pick on you anymore, did he?"

Liu Jin replied: "Well water does not interfere with river water."

Li Guang knew well that Liu Jin was Chang Feng's person.

Chang Feng had the ironclad evidence that he ordered people to frame Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

Li Guang wouldn't look for boredom, and then punish Liu Jin and provoke Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Well, he doesn't bother you anymore, and you don't want to take revenge anymore."

"After all, he is the empress's most trusted eunuch. He is also the supervisor of ceremonies, Bingbi, our boss."

Liu Jin said: "What my little uncle said is true. How dare I seek revenge on Eunuch Li!"

But he thought to himself: Just wait.When I gain power, I will cut Li Guang into pieces!
Liu Jin asked: "Has little uncle put up a sign in the clan mansion?"

Chang Feng replied: "Yesterday, Huang Yuangang went to the clan's mansion to hang up a sign and received the guest of honor certificate."

After chatting for a while, Liu Jin said goodbye.Fatty Xu led an unexpected visitor to Changfu.

The uninvited guest was 36-year-old Sai Tanghong, the owner of Yihonglou and the master of Miaoshoumen.

Chang Feng was surprised: "Master Sai, why are you here?"

Although Sai Tanghong is getting older, she is even more beautiful, her eyes are as charming as silk.No wonder Fatty Xu still regards her as his sweetheart.

The two uncles of the Zhang family also regarded her as a fetish in bed.

Sai Tanghong replied: "Huang Yuan is the adoptive son of the old brother of Miaoshoumen. He married the princess, so I naturally want to come and give a congratulatory gift."

"I'm from Jianghu, my status is humble, and I can't get on the stage. I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the princess's new mansion when I give the gift on the day of the wedding. So I came here to give it in advance."

Sai Tanghong has good intentions, but Chang Feng is disrespectful.

After accepting the gift from others, it is natural for them to stay for a cup of tea.

Fatty Xu took a sip of his tea, and said casually, "Li Guang from Kunning Palace is really capable of tossing around. The day before yesterday, I bought three Datong wives and aunts from Yihonglou, and said they wanted to take them as concubines."

"It's really a toad looking for a frog, an ugly flower to play with. Does he have anything like that?"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "It can't be done practically, but kissing and touching can also be addictive. Never mind him, just don't short the money to redeem yourself."

Fatty Xu said indignantly, "Fuck! Li Guang said that he has chosen someone, and he will give money when he returns home. I haven't seen a tael of money until now!"

Sai Tanghong said: "Three women, it's just a matter of 500 taels of silver. Brother Xu, stop talking about it."

"Offending Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, for such a small amount of money will only do us Yihonglou harm, not good."

Chang Feng nodded: "That's right. It's better to ask for a woman from a brothel than to go to the street and snatch a woman from the street."

In the words of later generations, relying on Empress Zhang as his backer, Li Guang gradually began to let himself go.Do anything asshole.

Last time, Chang Feng did not fight against him for the sake of the overall situation.

But the enemy will always come to the door inadvertently.
