A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 826 There is gold in the book

"Is the person gone?"

In the leopard room of Jin Guogong Mansion in Xuanyangfang, Wu Huaiyu squatted in the bamboo garden and watched the panda family playing. He also shared corn with them and gnawed on a stick of steamed waxy corn himself.

"Well, King Wei kept those carts of gifts and couldn't refuse them."

"It's okay, a little gift doesn't matter."

Wu Huaiyu replied. Without paying attention, the half-eaten glutinous corn in his hand was snatched away by the brown giant panda cub.

This giant panda is brown, more like a cat, with a full mouth and a shorter mouth.

"Hey, Rhubarb, if you don't eat your bamboo, you'll steal my corn."

Huaiyu looked at the fragrant rhubarb sitting on the ground, holding the waxy corn in his two front paws and chewing on it, and said helplessly.

This Rhubarb is an anomaly in the Wujia Panda Park. The other giant pandas in the park are basically black and white and come from Jiannan, but this brown one comes from the Qinling Mountains.

In fact, there are also giant pandas in the Qinling Mountains, which are a separate species. They are rarer and brown. This brown panda was an injured cub found in the mountains by Lou Guandao in the Qinling Mountains. After being rescued, it was specially given to Qingling. Yang Zhenren Wu Huaiyu,

"I'm going to Lingnan. I really can't bear to part with all the rare birds and animals in this garden, especially these naive iron-eating beasts."

"Alang can't bear to part with them, so just transport all the animals in the leopard house to Lingnan and build another leopard house to raise them."

"Hey, we've traveled thousands of miles, so I won't bother these guys anymore. It would be very heartbreaking if they don't adapt to the climate." Huaiyu told the housekeeper that after the family members of the mansion followed him to his post, the leopard garden would be opened regularly in the future. , free admission every five and ten days, tickets are sold during the rest of the time.

You can also ask a veterinarian to train you and put on a show or something. You don’t expect the tickets to make money or anything like that. They just use it to support the operation of the park and ensure that it can continue to operate. The existence of this leopard park can also enrich the people of Chang’an. It’s about our spare time life, eye-opening and stuff like that.

"Give a gift in return to Prince Wei's Mansion,"

"What kind of gift in return?"

"Just give me back the manuscript of the first volume of my "Zi Zhi Tong Jian","

Wu Huaiyu thinks that the little fat man is a very smart person, but after all, he is still a little young now, and the little fat man is also prone to confusion. For example, the time when he was closest to the throne,

When the crown prince Cheng Qian was deposed, Li Shimin said that he would make Li Tai his heir. As a result, he excitedly threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and said that he only had one son, and that he should be killed by your majesty in a hundred years and become the king of the country.

This silly talk made Li Shimin happy for a long time. When he turned around and told Chu Suiliang and others, he realized that Li Tai was hypocritical. How could someone in this world kill his own son and pass the throne to his younger brother. If Li Tai is really made the crown prince, Li Tai will definitely kill Li Zhi in the future.

Li Tai could make such a big mistake more than ten years later, and Li Tai today is not that smart. The so-called virtuous reputation of Li Tai in the Zhenguan Dynasty was actually only compared to that of Cheng Qian, Li You and other princes. Yan is not even as good as Li Ke.

Li Ke was no match for Li Tai just because he was a concubine born to the princess of the previous dynasty.

When I gave the little fat man a volume of the Zizhi Tongjian manuscript, I actually wanted to remind him of the friendship between teachers and students.

If you read this book carefully, you can learn a lot.

If you are a ruler but do not know how to learn from others, you will want to cure but do not know the source of the cure, and you will create chaos but do not know how to prevent it.

If you are a minister and do not know how to learn from others, then you will have no way to serve the king and no way to govern the people.

Human nature has something in common. There are things that are generally liked and things that are generally disliked. If one person hates another person's behavior, some people will remind them out of good intentions to make them change. However, some people will not point it out to their face, but will hold their grudge in their hearts.

Zizhi Tongjian is not only a history book, but more importantly, it is qualified to govern the Tao in light of past events.

If the little fat man can read it carefully, he will understand how he should make the right choice and strive for savings, which is just a path of no return.

He was trying to save the little fat man. He felt that he was still young and had not gone astray yet, so he could still turn back.

The housekeeper will be back soon,

"Have you met King Wei? Has he accepted the manuscript?"

"The King of Wei especially liked Xiao Xiao. He was very happy after receiving Alang's manuscript and started reading it immediately."

"I was also given a special reward of wine and meat, as well as a tael of gold leaves, and in return I was given a ten-volume draft of "Kuo Di Zhi" edited by A Lang at the Literary Hall of Prince Wei of Wei."

The butler lowered his voice when he said this, "Alang, I have read the ten volumes of manuscripts. There is a gold leaf in each page, and there are thousands of them in the ten volumes."

Wu Huaiyu didn't seem surprised.

The steward added, "These gold leaves weigh one or two gold leaves each."

One thousand pieces, that's one thousand taels of gold. The little fat man was really generous.

At the current price of gold, these one thousand taels of gold are worth eight thousand qian. The little fat man's previous regular income for the Prince of Wei's family was 16,000 yuan a year.

Of course, this is only his salary, fiefdom income and part of the rewards. The other income from pig raising of 300 acres of pig swamps, as well as some manors, shops under his name, and even workshops, shops, businesses, etc. that White Glove helps run, Actually it's not included.

Not counting the previous cartloads of gifts, these thousand gold leaves alone were equivalent to half of his apparent income. Moreover, due to the previous advice from Cen Wenwen and others, it was said that the reward from the King of Wei was five thousand more than that from the East Palace. Now the apparent income of the Wei Palace has been cut in half.

These eight thousand gold leaves are equivalent to the official income of the Wei Palace for one year. "Kuo Dizhi manuscript is left behind, the gold leaf is returned, and a message is given to the King of Wei. There is no need to do this."

"I don't hope there will be a next time, otherwise I will just hand it over to the Holy Spirit next time."

He wanted to bribe Wu Huaiyu with eight thousand guan, but the little fat guy wanted to take advantage of him.

It wouldn't work for the little fat man to give the entire Yankangfang that he now exclusively owned to Wu Huaiyu.

However, Wu Huaiyu felt that the little fat man was too generous this time. Maybe it was a trap. If he was greedy for money and took it, would the Wei Palace back-handedly sue him for befriending the prince? Or sue him for accepting huge bribes?

After the brown panda Rhubarb finished eating the corn, he came to Huaiyu again, trying to find another one from him. Huaiyu played with it for a while. The Rhubarb had become very tame after being raised in the house for a long time, and even interacted with Huaiyu's The two chows and the thin dogs have become friends, and there is no trace of the majesty of the iron-eating beasts.

Patting the bear's head, he said, "Go play with your cousins. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving."

Huaiyu left Leopard Garden, changed his clothes, took an inconspicuous carriage to Pingkangfang, and went straight to Nanqu.

He didn't come here to have fun, he came to see his sister-in-law Gao Huitong.

The two are no longer colleagues in the Six Gates, but Gao Huitong has always been in the Six Gates. This former swordsman in Prince Qin's palace now has thousands of incarnations and is very mysterious.

But she also knows Chang'an very well, especially Pingkangfang, which is her base camp, brothels, gambling houses, restaurants, restaurants, and these entertainment venues are all over her eyes.

"I would like to ask you to help me keep an eye on a few people,"

Upstairs in a brothel in Nanqu, the two met secretly. The charm of the sister-in-law is still there. Perhaps because she has stayed in Pingkangfang for a long time, she has a charming temperament, very similar to the gold-plated proprietress of the New Longmen Inn. Jade is passionate and coquettish, graceful, charming and fierce.

"Who has offended you again?" My sister-in-law chuckled. In this brothel, she seemed to have become a master of romance.

"Du Chuke, Su Xu, Wei Ting, Chai Shao."

When the sister-in-law heard these four names, the smile on her face froze, "You don't still want me to keep an eye on Shiro, do you?"

Huaiyu shook his head. It was not appropriate for Gao Huitong to stare at Li Tai. Li Tai must also be stared at by the emperor. If he dared to stare at Li Tai, he would be easily noticed by the emperor. It would not be a good thing for the emperor to know. Maybe he would Big trouble.

Gao Huitong breathed a sigh of relief, "But these four are not ordinary people."

"It is precisely because they are not ordinary people that I need your help."

"Is it this far?"

"Well, be prepared for a rainy day. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. Focus on helping me keep an eye on Du Chuke. I feel like this guy is trying to trick me."

"Is it still what happened with Du Jing'ai before?"

"Not exactly, help me keep an eye on it, I'm beyond my reach in Lingnan,"

Gao Huitong smiled and agreed, but still reminded Huaiyu a few words, "I will help you keep an eye on it, but you should also be more careful yourself.

Also, take Hui'an and the others to Lingnan and take good care of them. "

After talking about business, Wu Huaiyu did not stay long. Although she had been out of the palace for many years, she was once the emperor's wife and gave birth to a princess for the emperor. Her brother-in-law did not dare to mess around in the slightest.

Gao Huitong stood in the window of the small building and watched him leave the yard, get into an ordinary carriage outside the door, and leave quietly.

The wind blew for a while,

She went back and rang the bell, and a strong woman came up from downstairs.

"Send me a letter,"
