In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 550: Learn from Zhao Yurui in every aspect

"The commander of the camp, the deputy commander and above are selected by you, and the military attachés below Dutou are appointed by the imperial court."

"No matter what military attache you are, they must be rotated every five years."

"The military attaché you select will be promoted and transferred as long as he makes no mistakes in five years."

Zhao Fu listened quietly, nodding from time to time to express his approval and support, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Why are so many military attachés appointed by the imperial court? Is this because our father is guarding us as sons?

Zhao Yu didn't know that being a vassal king was so troublesome before. After Zhao Yurui said it today, he realized that there were so many rules?

However, he showed no expression of joy or anger, and on the surface, he looked like he was listening to Ling attentively.

"As the King of Fan, my annual salary is the same as your brother's."

"Ten thousand guan (ten thousand silver coins) per year, and the remaining salaries of all military attachés and guards will be paid by the imperial court."

The royal family's annual expenditure of 50,000 guan was only given for ten years. After ten years, he would only have a salary left, which was 10,000 guan per year.

As for food, cotton and silk, you can buy them with your own money out of the 50,000 yuan. Of course, Zhao Yurui allows them to do business.

"There are also expenses for the palace, fifty thousand guan per year in the early stage." This expenditure is mainly used to subsidize the living expenses of the palace, and Zhao Shenxu heard the word "early stage".

"Also, you have to rely on yourself for your son and daughter's salary. I don't care."

For example, the princes of the Ming Dynasty had prescribed quantities of tens of thousands of grains of grain, bolts of cotton, silk, cloth, tea, salt, etc. every year.

"There are no civil or military officials in the palace, and there can be no more than twenty servants and maids. All expenses must be financed by 50,000 guanli."

Seeing the frightened expression on his son's face, Zhao Yurui said: "The princes of the Song Dynasty will be like this in the future."

Zhao Yurui is stingy, even more stingy with his own son than with ministers and generals.

In order to limit the squandering of the children, the number of servants and maids in the palace cannot exceed twenty.

But it wasn't over yet. Zhao Yu felt chilled after hearing this.

Now Zhao and Rui only care about their sons. Each of them will receive 10,000 yuan a year, and the royal family will pay them for ten years. Then you can use the money to do business and make money.

This expenditure is for Zhao Fu to support his wife and children. If you are generous, you can also use this expenditure to give bonuses to people in the palace.

"My rule is that one generation governs the other. I am responsible for raising my children, and you are responsible for raising yours."

"If you don't have enough money, you can also start your own business, but you have to behave yourself and don't mess around with your royal status. You know my father's temper."

He talked a lot of nonsense. To put it simply, he would give his son 60,000 yuan a year. As for how many people you can support in your palace, you will have to look at the money. However, the total number of servants and maids cannot exceed twenty.

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and finally knew what the early stage meant.

"As a member of the royal family, you have to learn to make money to support your family. The court will pay for the 50,000 yuan for ten years. After ten years, you have to rely on yourself."

This should be replaced by the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Fu is a prince and his son is a county prince. They are all raised by the court. Each person has his own palace. There are also civil and military officials in the palace. Every year, various kinds of money, cotton, cloth, silk, salt All.

Zhao Yurui had nothing to offer, so he was given a fixed salary of 10,000 guan and expenses of 50,000 guan.

"I don't dare, I will never dare to do anything that will harm the royal family's face." Zhao Yu quickly expressed his stance.

At the end of the sentence, Zhao Yurui's expression became serious: "When you arrive at the place, you should strictly discipline yourself, act in accordance with the law, and truly do practical things and good things for the place and the people."

"It should be noted that in our Song Dynasty, princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the people. It is impossible to rely on status to do anything wrong--"

"Your eldest brother is the same as you, and all the benefits are exactly the same. Now he is doing business in Hanzhou to make money, and his annual income is no less than what the father gives. From now on, you are the head of the family, and you must learn to treat your own family and family. Be responsible and support your own family--"

"My son, I will obey my father's will. Please rest assured."

After Zhao Yurui gave some instructions, he sent his second son Zhao Fu to the Far East.

The next day, the imperial court announced the decree that the second prince, Zhao Yu, was granted the title of Yanshan and left the town of Liaodong. Immediately many ministers were shocked.

When the eldest son of the emperor went to Hanzhou, everyone thought he was being demoted. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the second prince was also going to the Far East.

The second prince was born to Empress Xie, which surprised everyone.

Less than three days after the imperial edict was issued, Zhao Fu left the capital in a hurry. There was no chance for hesitation or delay. Several good friends also came to the shore to see him off.

He didn't have many useful people around him now, so Quan Ying and Shi Zhongguo recommended several military officers for him, who first served as the battalion commander and deputy commander of the Royal Palace Guard Battalion.

When Shi Zhongguo and others graduate from the military academy, they can join his royal guard camp in Liaodong in the future.

Zhao Yu is only seventeen years old now. He just got married last year. His wife is Emperor Li's daughter. Emperor Li was also considered Zhao Yurui's confidant back then.

When he left, his wife had not yet given birth to a child. There were only two members of the family, four maids, two servants, and a housekeeper, a total of nine people boarded the ship.

When the ship sailed out of Lin'an City, Zhao Fu looked back at the rich imperial city and silently thought to himself, Lin'an City, I will definitely come back.

Under the escort of the navy, the big ship set off from Lin'an, and its first stop was Jeju.

This is the place where Emperor Zhao Yurui started his family. It is now very prosperous, and merchant ships from Japan and Korea will dock here.

Zhao Yu landed on Jeju Island, walked around, and found that the local population was quite large. This used to be Zhao Yurui's logistics base. The Firearms Bureau's craftsmanship bureau first started here, and then slowly moved away. Currently, it is used to raise war horses and Cultivation of fruits and production of sugar.

Local officials reported to Zhao Yu that the annual output of 20,000 high-quality war horses was provided to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

There are also two shipyards here, which receive lumber from Korea and Japan every year to build naval warships and merchant ships.

Zhao Yu immediately believed that this place was very important. In the future, he could launch naval forces from here to attack Japan and Goryeo.

There was no one around him at this moment, and the only person he could communicate with was the butler Xie Fei.

Xie Fei is a relative of his mother, Queen Xie, and can be regarded as the only confidant around him now.

But I can't talk to anyone about the attack on Japan and Goryeo now. If this succeeds in the future, he will be credited. If it fails, he will also take the blame. Therefore, Zhao Fu did not dare to talk to Xie Fei about this. thing.

He left Lin'an in mid-December, first to Jeju and then to Tsushima Island. Tsushima Island belongs to Japan and was captured by the Yuan army during the Yuan Dynasty.

Now that the local area was under Japanese control, Zhao Xie was still very business-minded. He asked the Xie family for some capital in the capital and bought a lot of supplies in the capital. He sold a batch in Jeju and another batch in Tsushima Island, making tens of thousands of strings of cash.

At this time, he understood what his father had said to him before leaving the capital.

It sounds like his 60,000 yuan a year is not much, but as long as he has start-up capital and royal status, it is actually easy to make money from money and make money from money.

At first, he was worried that he would not have enough money, but now he has made tens of thousands of dollars as soon as he came out, and he is finally a little happy.

After leaving Tsushima Island, Zhao Fu went straight to Hai Sanwei.

In late December, he came to Haisanwei. It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year. He actually felt a little uncomfortable. He originally wanted to spend the New Year in Lin'an City before leaving, but Zhao Yurui asked him to go to Haisanwei. Celebrate the New Year with the local officers and soldiers, and experience the winter in Hai Samwei.

He was kicked out of the capital before the end of the year.

When his ship arrived here, he discovered that after entering the cold winter, the sea near Haisamwei would not freeze, which was much better than that of Kuye Island.

Their ship entered Haisanwei smoothly. As the earliest city established by the Song Dynasty in the Far East, Haisanwei City is now a big city with a population of more than 100,000 and a garrison of two generals (including four battalions). Kuye Island and Kuye Port), and there are several battalions stationed in other places. The actual garrison is exactly one general, about 3,000 people.

He now brought with him a thousand guards, and the city's garrison numbered four thousand.

Haisan City was organized at the prefectural level. The local magistrate, county magistrate, garrison generals, deputy generals, and civil and military officials above the command came to the shore early to receive him.

The local magistrate was named Chen Yaodao. His father Chen Zichang and grandfather Chen Yi were both gifted as ministers of the Ministry of Industry after their deaths. He was also gifted as minister of the Ministry of Industry after his death.

However, neither his father nor his grandfather were in the hands of Zhao Yurui, so it was basically impossible for him to be gifted as Minister of Industry.

He was a Jinshi in the third year of Yuanzhen. He served successively as Secretary Lang and Supervisor of the Censor, and then stayed there for many years. Later, in order to be promoted, he took the initiative to go to Haisanwei, a bitter and cold place, and was finally promoted to the prefect.

The local garrison general Gao Zhong holds the title of Commander of the Far East Capital, deputy commander of the First Army of the Far East, and second general.

Another general was Ma Jian, who had been with Gao Zhong for many years and participated in the battle with Mongolia in the north.

Gao Chong's son, Gao Chong, is currently participating in the Song army attacking the Sukhothai Dynasty. The two fathers and sons are thousands of miles apart and each has his own master.

Gao Zhong is Yu Jie's old subordinate and is currently the highest-ranking general in Hai Sanwei.

"Greetings to King Yan." All the civil and military officials respectfully paid homage to Zhao Yu at the dock.

Zhao Fu didn't dare to show off, so he hurried forward, trying to recall his father's appearance in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, please excuse me, we are all brothers." He looked around at the scene, except for Zhou Zhong, who looked like three They are more than ten years old, and the rest are all within thirty years old. They can barely call themselves brothers.

Seeing Zhao Yu being so polite, all the civil and military officials looked at each other and stood up one after another.

"It's freezing outside. Let's go for a walk and warm up inside. Then we'll talk later." Zhao Yu laughed and looked very easy-going.

No matter what the occasion, Zhao Fu would always think of his father's style and try his best to learn from it.

Everyone quickly led the way and took him into the city.

Zhao Yu looked around as he walked. There were quite a lot of people near the dock. In such a cold day, there were also merchant ships coming.

"Are there so many merchant ships in this season?" Zhao Fu asked strangely.

Chen Yaodao on the side heard the words and stepped forward with a smile: "Go back to King Yan."

"Haisanwei is rich in all kinds of furs and fish products, and merchants are still willing to come."

"Isn't it rare to see wild animals in winter?" Zhao Fu asked again.

Chen Yaodao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately added: "Some businessmen will store furs until winter, and they can sell them at a good price."

Zhao Yu didn't ask any more questions at this moment, but he knew in his heart that the words "some merchants" might refer to the defenders here.

As far as he knew, the defenders from various places in the Song Dynasty were the main recipients of furs.

There is no war here now, except for training, the court allows and encourages the local defenders to hunt, then sell the furs and share them with the court.

Now that he has his own thousand escorts, he should be able to get furs to sell?

As for aquatic products, the local area is also rich in various aquatic products, but they are also found along the Yangtze River, Korea and Japan. Although they cannot be sold at a good price, they are rich in materials and in sufficient quantity, and they can make a little money.

There was no other way, so Zhao Yurui asked him to find a way to support his family. His son hadn't been born yet, and he was already thinking about how to make money.

For some reason, he suddenly thought that his eldest brother was in Hanzhou. After occupying Srivijaya, he controlled the local spice sources. I am afraid that he will have more ways to make money in the future than himself. Faintly, Zhao Fu actually subconsciously felt that his father was more interested in his eldest brother than himself. better.

Before coming here, he had heard about the bitter cold in the Far East. When he was in Lin'an, he didn't take it seriously. After arriving today, he really saw what bitter cold means.

The main reason was that it happened to be December when he arrived in Hainan, when the weather was freezing. On the ship, he usually stayed in the cabin, which had a heater and so on. After getting off the ship, he felt the cold wind blowing against his face.

As someone who grew up in the South, I'm really not used to it.

Fortunately, his father, Zhao Yurui, had repeatedly stressed before he came that he should keep warm. Thinking about it again, their family used to go to Yanjing (Beiping) for vacation every winter, and they would also go hunting. Winter run in the capital.

Zhao Yu finally understood that at that time, Zhao Yurui already wanted his sons to come here. He went to Yanjing for vacation every year and went for winter runs every winter, just to let his sons adapt to the climate here.

After arriving here, besides wanting to stay in the room, Zhao Fu didn't want to go out, but he had no choice. He couldn't really do that. No matter how cold it was outside, he had to go out. He had to behave better in front of the local civil and military forces. God knows. Are there anyone from Father's Intelligence Department hiding inside, not to mention the local Jinyi Guards?

That night, Hai Sanwei's civil and military officials hosted a banquet for Zhao Yu. According to the current Song Dynasty regulations, it was originally a joint venture between Chen Yaodao, Gao Chong, Ma Jian and other senior officials.

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Fu suddenly asked, "How much does this meal cost?"

The expressions of the civil and military officials on the table changed slightly, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what Zhao Yu meant?
Chen Yaodao was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "I don't know yet, I have to ask the shopkeeper." Then he turned around and called the waiter and called the shopkeeper.

After a while, the local shopkeeper appeared.

Zhao Yu saw how this man was dressed and found that he was from Korea.

There are many Korean and Japanese businessmen in Haesamwe, and some people have opened hotels here. This Korean is one of them. The Korean name is Kim Jae-min. His father, Kim Zhizhong, is related to the family of the powerful Korean king Jin Ruoxian, and he often travels between Haesamwe and Haesamwe. Jeju was doing business with the Song people. When Zhao Yurui bought Jeju, the Jin Ruoxian family played a role and helped. Therefore, Zhao Yurui would trade many important materials, such as sugar and gunpowder, with the Jin family. The Jin family The family and Zhao Song now have a very good relationship.

"Shopkeeper Jin, the food on the table today was well cooked. King Yan asked how much it cost?" Chen Yaodao asked loudly when he saw Jin Zaimin coming in.
