My life is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 34 Do you think I’m easy to bully?
"Ten years..."

"Finally, I was able to set foot in the Young Mansion..."

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace, Shaofu Studio.

Looking at the piles of lists of workshops and craftsmen in front of him, Liu Rong felt excited and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

——As a time-traveler, isn't the most important thing you should do is 'If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools'?
Unexpectedly, in this era, the craftsmen and materials that can truly allow time travelers to develop their specialties have all been shoveled into the royal bowl by the young master, and ordinary people cannot even think of getting close to them.

Not to mention Liu Rong, who is the eldest son of the emperor. In today's Han Dynasty, there are only three non-shaofu officials in the Han Dynasty who can freely enter and leave the Shaofu.

Emperor Qi, Empress Dowager Dou, and the master of pottery, Liu Prostitute.

In addition to these three people, regardless of whether they are princes or generals, clan members or relatives;
Unless you have a warrant or even an edict from the Queen Mother or the Emperor, you are most likely kidding about the genealogy, let alone moving things out of the Shaofu. Even if you go in and take a look, you are most likely joking about the family tree.

This time, Liu Rong finally got what he wanted after ten years, but he only had the authority to visit and mobilize some personnel and materials of the Shaofu.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Qi marked a corner for Liu Rong in the Shaofu, and then said: Well, just play in this circle.

Rather than saying that Emperor Qi treated Liu Rong differently and gave Liu Rong special authority, it is better to say that Emperor Qi had important things to do and was too lazy to deal with the shit in the Phoenix Palace, so he sent Liu Rong to the Shaofu to give himself a slap in the face. quiet.

Is this not?

Liu Ronggang picked up a scroll of bamboo slips recording the address and responsibilities of the Shaofu's workshop, and immediately frowned.

"The metallurgical supervisor is not allowed to go, the soldiers are not allowed to go, the east and west weaving rooms are not allowed to go, and the Shanglin Garden is not allowed to go..."

"—Is there any place left to go?"

I wonder if he didn't hear Liu Rong's complaint. As soon as Liu Rong finished speaking, the clerk on the side came forward with a flattering smile and bowed his hand to Liu Rong.

When Liu Rong waved his hand in displeasure, he saw the clerk pulling out three or two rolls of bamboo slips from the pile of bamboo slips.

While he was busy with his hands, he did not forget to explain to Liu Rong: "Young Master, maybe you don't know a lot, right?"

"The Metallurgical Supervisor is responsible for coin casting and steel hammering. It is a very taboo place."

"Even the government orders should not be involved unless necessary..."

"As for the weapon-casting attribute, let alone mention it: anything that has anything to do with 'weapon' is a big taboo..."

"The East and West Weaving Room belongs to the Kao Gong Department, and is responsible for weaving and making silk, supplying the clothes and quilts for the imperial palace, officials and nobles. Although it is not taboo, it is still very important..."

"As for Shanglin..."

At the end of the story, the clerk finally realized that Liu Rong's expression was getting more and more unhappy, so he had to stop talking with a flattering smile, bend down, and say no more.

In his hand, he did not forget to hand over the few bamboo slips. Although he did not speak, he already made it clear: these bamboo slips are where the eldest son of the emperor can go and play...

"Carpentry Department..."

"Sangwei..."

"Dongyuan..."

After just a brief glance, Liu Rong threw the bamboo slips back to their original positions in great disappointment, shook his head in disappointment and sighed.

The carpentry department, as the name suggests, is the place where wood is tinkered with;

If Liu Rong is willing, he can also chop down trees and chop firewood.

The same goes for mulberry weaving: if Liu Rong is interested, he can weave bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, etc.

The East Garden is the most explosive: the main artifacts and funeral utensils!
As for these three places, let alone Liu Rong, a time traveler, even people who live in this era may not have much interest.

"Father, this?"

"What do you mean?"

"First you allowed me to come to the Young Mansion, and then you did this?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Liu Rong's words, the clerk also kindly explained to Liu Rong.

"Young master should know that the most important part of the young master's house is the internal money (tǎng)."

"In the public, the money in the Shaofu is privately called by many people: the emperor's pocket, the emperor's purse." "The entire Shaofu, whether bought from the market, or from various workshops, Anything produced in the craftsman's workshop that is worth some money is piled into the Shaofu's coffers."

"To put it bluntly: in the entire Young Mansion, only the internal money is the 'money bag'; the other ministries, subordinates, and departments are all subordinates who make money for this money bag."

···
"You dare to say something disrespectful."

"——The emperor's purse, young master, do you dare to get your hands on it?"

"——Young master, how dare you get involved in this way of making money for the emperor?"

"Not to mention the young master, he was the former heir apparent. Your majesty did not set foot in the official residence of the young master for the first time until three months after the death of the late emperor, when the national mourning was completely over."

"It is a great honor for the young master to have your majesty's permission to appear in this young man's official residence."

"As for certain taboos, even if the young master has the courage, everyone in my young family will definitely not let the young master touch them..."

When Liu Rong heard the clerk explaining the reason to himself with an apologetic smile, Liu Rong thought it was just a simple prevarication and evasion;
But after hearing the end, Liu Rong vaguely realized that the official's words had a profound meaning.

——Emperor Qi may not have specified in such a specific way: The eldest son of the emperor is not allowed to go to these places.

It was so overwhelming that he just gave a casual instruction: Keep an eye on it, and let that bastard get away with anything important.

Therefore, even with the permission of Emperor Qi, there were still only a few nooks and crannies left for Liu Rong to go to a large young mansion.

"Now the young master is a minister~"

"Who's here?"

Pai Xiao stood beside Liu Rong. When he heard Liu Rong's question, the clerk's eyelids suddenly jumped!
He instinctively wanted to speak, but the second son of the emperor behind Liu Rong preempted him.

"Yanglinghou Cenmai."

Hearing this, the eldest son of the emperor nodded slowly and thoughtfully, but did not speak again.

Seeing Liu Rong like this, the clerk became more and more anxious, but he still did not dare to speak to defend his immediate boss.

What a joke!
The person the Han family should not mess with the most is the crown prince?
Needless to say, let's take the example of Zhang Shizhi, the court lieutenant who used the incident of "the prince came back late and missed the palace ban" during the late emperor's time to frantically find trouble to increase his reputation, and even forced the late emperor to take off his hat and apologize.

Liu Qi was the prince, and Zhang Tingwei was proud and arrogant;

The late emperor passed away, and old man Zhang's life and death were uncertain.

——The late emperor had just passed away, and Zhang Shi came to the palace to see him. He knelt down in the Xuanshi Hall with tears streaming down his face and begged the new emperor for forgiveness!
Even the opportunity to "kneel down to the Xuanshi Palace" was obtained by Zhang Shizhi with great difficulty by exhausting all the contacts he had accumulated throughout his life!

Although in the end, Zhang Shizhi was forgiven by the "magnanimous" Emperor Qi, he fell from the nine ministers of the dynasty and was sent to Guandong to serve as the prime minister of the princes and states.

As for Liu Rong, although he is not yet the prince, and has been roughly excluded from the competition for "Crown Prince" both inside and outside the court, he is still unable to access these things at the level of a minor official.

The little official only knows: the current empress has no children, and the one who is most likely to take the position of crown prince must be the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong!
What if today, a little person like me, taking the place of my immediate superior, Yangling Marquis Cenmai of the Shaofu Ling, provoked such a person who shouldn’t be provoked...

"Go and visit and tell Marquis Yangling personally: The eldest son of the emperor is not interested in these three places."

"——Not only am I not interested, I also dislike it very much!"

"You've already shown up in Dongyuan, what are you doing?"

"Is it possible that Marquis Yangling really wants me to let the eldest son of the current emperor cast a few dark lanterns for his Shao Cen Mansion?"

Without concealing his displeasure, he made the next explanation, and saw the little official who was about to burst into tears, but he repeatedly handed over to him as if he was being pardoned, saying that he would "do not disgrace his life".

Seeing the embarrassment of the junior official, Liu Rong thought for a moment and finally did not forget to add: "Marquis Yangling does not want me to interfere in the affairs of the young manor. I can barely understand it."

"Outside the city of Chang'an, find a workshop not far from Chang'an, and hire 20 craftsmen, 100 kilograms of fried steel, a set of utensils, and servants."

"——I'm waiting for news in the Phoenix Palace."

"If Marquis Yangling is not even willing to agree to this, then the eldest son of the emperor will go to the Proclamation Chamber and speak properly about Marquis Yangling's skills of oppressing the princes of the clan."

　I finished writing it in the morning. Some of the content didn't feel right, so I improved it a lot and posted it late.

　　Once again, I wish all parents and parents a Happy New Year~
