Chapter 63 Rewards and Gifts

In the afternoon, a group of people returned to Chang'an, and the Habayashi Army returned to the camp under the leadership of the instructors.

It's Chinese New Year, so Huo Shan gave the Yulin Army two days off, and all the soldiers who live in Chang'an and those around Chang'an can go home to celebrate the New Year.

But unexpectedly, no one wanted to leave, and everyone was willing to stay in the camp for this year.

There was no shortage of rice and meat, so Huo Shan ordered the Shaofu to send a batch of wine to let them relax.

Wei Qing and Pingyang had no choice but to return home. They had no choice but to go anywhere during the Chinese New Year. Someone at home had to watch the New Year.

The same is true for Huo Shan, he is going back to his residence today, he will not be in the palace for the new year.

Huo Shan has been living in the palace, it doesn't mean he doesn't have a mansion.

Huo Shan not only has a mansion, but it is also very big. It is the luxurious mansion that Liu Che built for Lao Huo, who was very arrogant and said he didn't want it.

It is conceivable what kind of luxurious mansion Liu Che is talking about, the inside is just like a small Weiyang Palace.

Huo Shan basically didn't live here on weekdays, and he basically didn't come to this mansion a few times. It became Huo Shan's warehouse, specially storing his rewards and so on, because the Qilin Hall couldn't fit it.

Because there are not only Liu Che's rewards, but also gifts from Lao Huo's old department during the New Year and festivals, and some of the taxes and food collected in the feudal kingdom will also be shipped to Chang'an.

However, there are not many grains sent from Fengguo, so the best batch will be selected and sent, and the rest will be exchanged for money and stored.

There are some old servants left by Lao Huo living in the mansion. There is a housekeeper named Huo An, the name given by Lao Huo, an old man in his fifties.

He was in charge of everything in the mansion, and Huo Shan basically didn't take care of it. Every half a month, Huo An would go into the palace to report to Huo Shan.

This is also the first time for Huo Shan to go back to the mansion for the New Year. In the past, Huo An brought his family and servants to watch the New Year.

.........

After Huo Shan returned to Chang'an, he didn't rush back to the mansion first, but went to the Shaofu.

The subordinate officials in the Shaofu, those who have families and houses in Chang'an, basically went home to celebrate the New Year, but there are still many people who stayed.

Those who were able to go home early for the New Year were only a few dozen subordinate officials, and most of the others were from the palace, and their homes were all in the palace.

Like those officials, basically they will go home after they are released from work. As for those slave servants, um...

Of the five prime ministers, only one Wang Wei remained.

He could have left earlier, but he had to wait for Huo Shan.

Because Huo Shan had ordered some New Year's goods and gifts in Shaofu and hadn't taken them away, and Liu Che hadn't taken away some rewards from Huo Shan either.

"The minister, Wang Wei, pays homage to the little prince."

Huo Shan bowed back and said with a smile:

"Hehe, thank you, Wangfucheng."

Wang Wei was taken aback for a moment, a little embarrassed, not quite used to Huo Shan's smiling face.

"Young Junhou, what did you say? It should have been done, hehe."

The two chatted for a few words, Wang Wei shrunk his neck unconsciously when he saw Huo Shan like a mouse seeing a cat, it seemed that Huo Shan had left a shadow in his mind that hadn't dissipated.

Wang Wei brought Huo Shan to the warehouse, and twenty carts were parked at the gate of the warehouse.

"Little Junhou, the ministers are already ready, so it's fine for Xiaojunhou to be dragged back directly."

After speaking, he took out two pieces of cloth from his pocket:
"Little Junhou, this is the list!"

Huo Shan smiled and nodded, took it and looked at it.

The first one is Liu Che's reward:

A hundred pieces of gold for Linzhi, two hundred pieces of gold for horseshoes, and a hundred pieces of cloth and silk of various colors. This is the reward money.

Twenty pairs of Lantian white jade vases, ten pairs of yellow porcelain vases, five sets of blue porcelain tea sets, five sets of white porcelain tableware, three sets of bronze wine sets, three sets of Hetian jade tea sets, and the remaining jade plaques, jade pendants, jade crowns, jade ornaments, etc. wait.

There are also clothes to wear, good rice, flour, vegetables to eat, and some relatively rare medicinal materials.

Huo Shan couldn't help clicking his tongue when he saw it, he had never seen such a heavy reward.

Isn't it just going back to the house for a new year, making it seem like I won't come back.

Not to mention other things, just this Linzhi gold, although the weight of this thing is the same as that of horseshoe gold and other gold cakes and gold nuggets, it is one catty.

But when this thing is taken out, the official price is that one gold can be worth the hardware, but there are people who accept ten or twenty golds for a Linzhi gold.

Because this Linzhi gold is not only money, but also has a certain symbolic meaning, representing identity.

Even if Liu Che is rewarded heavily, there will generally not be more than ten pieces of this stuff.

After the ministers get it, they will basically not take it out again, not only because of the meaning, because the purity of this thing is much higher, and it is also very beautiful.

Linzhi gold one gold top hardware, horseshoe gold one gold top half Linzhi gold.

In fact, in terms of beauty, Huo Shan felt that horseshoe gold was more beautiful than this lin toe gold, but each horse and lin were naturally different, and the purity was also different.

For Liu Che's move, one hundred Linzhi gold and two hundred horseshoe gold, the official value is [-] gold, not to mention the hundred pieces of cloth.

Cloth can also be used as currency, not to mention it is colored cloth, which is still used by the royal family. A hundred pieces are worth more than a thousand gold, and you can't buy it if you buy it.

However, this thing is only a market price. There are workshops in the Shaofu. Although it is rare because it is a gift and it is precious, the royal family does not lack it.

Counting other things, the official price is basically more than five thousand gold. This is still Huo Shan's conservative estimate, and it is estimated that it can buy ten thousand gold.

Those pairs of jade vases and porcelain vases are worth no less than [-] gold, and those good tea sets and tableware are no less than [-] gold.

At that time, the porcelain firing technology was underdeveloped, and these things were very precious, especially the colored ones. The things Liu Che took out were definitely not defective.

Not to mention the title of an imperial gift, so it is more expensive.

One reward is five thousand gold, 5000 million yuan, more than one-200th of Shaofu's savings, no wonder you are going bankrupt!
But because he is the one who rewards himself, Huo Shan likes this very much, the more the better in the future!

After Huo Shan looked at the rewards, he picked up another piece of cloth and looked at some things he had purchased in the Shaofu, and some things he had obtained in Chang'an through the channels of the Shaofu through his connections.

Huo Shan and the Shaofu bought five hundred gold worth of goods, half of which were some more precious goods, and some of their own food for the Spring Festival and so on.

But compared with Liu Che, he was a bit out of place.

But the highlight is the goods that Huo Shan obtained through his connections.

Cordyceps sinensis from Huangzhong, ginseng and abalone from Wuhuan, bird’s nest from the south of the old road, etc., are all health supplements.

These things were brought by Huo Tanong to give gifts to various houses after the Chinese New Year.

Huo Shan has discussed with all the localities, he wants as much good goods as he wants, and collects them himself, and he is not allowed to sell them to others. Huo Shan is going to create a monopoly, and they can make some money in Huangzhong.

However, he only monopolizes high-end goods, and ordinary Huo Shan doesn't like them. In the future, apart from Liu Che's reward, he can only buy high-end goods from Huo Shan.

With Liu Che and Wei Qing living advertisements, I am not afraid that things will not be sold, and the supply will probably exceed demand.

This is health maintenance, which can prolong life, dear!

.........

Huo Shan rolled up the cloth, handed it to Xiao Lizi behind him, and waved his hand, several large boxes came up from several doors, containing Huo Shan's five hundred gold payment.

Five hundred gold cakes weighed 250 catties, which was still quite heavy. Qimen helped to send all the money to the treasury and hide it.

Huo Shan walked to the twenty carriages and searched, and found several unique boxes.

Huo Shan jumped into the carriage, opened the box, reached in and took two linzhi gold pieces, and threw them to Wang Wei after jumping off the carriage.

"Little Junhou, this..."

Wang Wei caught it in a hurry, and was a little flustered after seeing what it was.

"Reward you."

"Thank you, little gentleman, for the reward."

Wang Wei didn't shirk it either, this is Linzhi gold, something that can be used as a family heirloom, and in his capacity, if he didn't have great luck, he wouldn't be able to get it in his lifetime.

Huo Shan should give him a reward, but it is basically a reward for ordinary gold cakes, it is impossible to give him Linzhi gold, but who made Huo Shan generous!

Moreover, Huo Shan just glanced at the list, all the goods purchased by the five hundred gold are at cost price, and they can be sold for thousands of gold, and the delivery fee for his other things has not been charged.

Huo Shan estimated that if he hadn't said that the public is public or private, Wang Wei can give as much as he wants.

And for Chinese New Year, happiness is the most important thing!

"Okay, I'll go first, Wang Wei..."

"Chen is here!"

Huo Shan smiled brilliantly:

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Ah? Happy, happy!"

Wang Wei was a little dazed. After he realized it, Huo Shan had already walked more than ten steps. Wang Wei immediately shouted loudly:
"Happy New Year, little gentleman!"

Huo Shan shook his head with a smile when he heard the voice, murmured: "A foolish one!" Then he raised his arms and waved.

Originally, there should still be a process for rewarding, but as a human being, you should keep a low profile. The reward of a few carriages today will be spread to the house, and tomorrow it will have to spread throughout Chang'an.

.........

Just when Huo Shan left the palace and was about to go back to the mansion, Huo An had been waiting for a long time in front of the gate of the champion Hou's mansion in Shangguanli.

He didn't sleep at all last night, Huo Shan was going back home for the New Year, which made him really excited for a long time.

He got up before dawn, sat quietly on the side of the couch, and when the sky was bright and he could see, he began to order people from No. 230 [-] in the mansion to start the general cleaning.

Sweep the courtyard, open the middle door wide, and prepare for Huo Shan's return home.

But from morning until noon, he didn't come. After inquiring, he found out that Huo Shan took the Yulin army to Maoling to worship his ancestors in the middle of the night.

Huo An was a little confused, that little Li didn't even notify him, hum, it's time to hit him!

But hearing that Huo Shan went to worship the ancestors, he was still very happy.

So he waited and waited, from morning to noon, from noon to noon, from noon to afternoon, and finally waited for Huo Shan's arrival.

Huo An looked very happy at the boy in the distance who was riding a silver horse, followed by a big black horse and a little yellow dog, with a black eagle on his shoulder.

As for Xiao Hei and Champion, Huo Shan felt that they were left alone in the pet yard during the Chinese New Year, so he brought them here together.
