Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 591 Configuration of the Xianwang Mansion
This time, Rong Shan brought 380 guards, and Mr. Gu brought 150 people. Rong Shan traveled by land, and Mr. Gu traveled by water, but there was only an hour difference between the two. People plus the original more than 200 people, all arranged and there is no sense of crowding at all.

After Xie Jue was sure that he had the title of Sanguan, he asked Che Ling to buy a mansion in the east of the city that was confiscated by criminal officials, and then asked Che Ling to buy all the surrounding houses, and then kept his face After getting the official title of third grade, Xie Jue bought the forest land and open space behind the house, rebuilt the fence to enclose the whole area, renovated it into a garden and woodland, and built pavilions Pavilion.

When Xie Jue was sure that he wanted to be a prince, he immediately asked Che Ling to readjust the layout. Fortunately, considering safety issues, the layout of the entire mansion was extremely rigorous. Come on, so those precious woods and stones are well prepared, including a lot of carpenters and carpenters. After the title of the virtuous king is awarded, it is nothing more than expanding some buildings in the middle road according to the prince's grade. The walls are heightened.

Che Ling spent a lot of money and used thousands of manpower (he has a lot of coolies anyway), and in more than a month, he built those added buildings and wall buildings abruptly, and now it has been built into a front. The building complex of 98 mu has a huge palace with a garden of more than 150 mu behind it.

In front of Xianwang Mansion is the main street with a length of more than 80 meters and a width of more than ten meters. Along the street is a five-meter-high wall building with the same length. There are two side doors, and at the corner are two corner doors.

After entering the main gate of the palace in the middle, there is a royal road paved with white marble, which is 80 meters wide and 20 meters long, leading to the next inner gate. There are three-meter-high arcades on both sides to separate the entrances of the other two gates. After entering through the doors on both sides, there is a huge parking space.

Starting from the inner gate with a height of about three meters, the building complex in front of the palace is mainly divided into three roads. The middle road is the front building, the front hall, the middle hall, the main hall, and the back hall. The prince only uses it on major festivals or when welcoming important guests. The front building and the front hall are the places where the prince entertains guests, the back hall is the prince's own office, and the back hall is the place where the prince's officials work.

The West Road is a courtyard with nine entrances. Compared with the Middle Road and East Road, the courtyards on this road are smaller and more exquisite, and have their own characteristics according to the different trees planted. There is a narrow alley separated from the tall courtyard wall of the West Road. Outside, there are small courtyards one after another. There are more than [-] courtyards along the west road.

On the east road is the Wujin courtyard, which was originally built first. Each courtyard is very spacious, and each entrance is equipped with small gardens with different styles according to the terrain, carved beams and painted buildings, and even the carvings on the eaves and feet. fine.The first two entrances are halls for the prince to meet with close guests; the third entrance is the magnificent Rende Zhai; Xinyue Hall, the main courtyard of the courtyard.

There is also an alleyway outside the four-meter-high courtyard wall on the east road, but it is wider than the west road. Carriages can go all the way to the side door of Wangyue Hall, and on the other side of the alleyway is a five-meter-high wall that can live below and patrol Building, and outside is the Bianhe River, which has been dug deep and widened.

At the end of the west road and the middle road, they are connected together, with a length of more than 100 meters and a height of two floors with more than [-] rooms, only facing the back building with windows in the front.

Behind Xinyue Hall, there is also a two-storey rear building with narrow windows at the front and back, which is more than 20 meters away from the other side, but it is used as a warehouse.

Behind the Houmiaolou, it is built against a hill more than 30 meters high. Water is diverted from the Bianhe River to form a small lake. Surrounding the mountain with water, pavilions, terraces and corridors, various flowers and valuables are planted. Back garden with trees.

Mr. Gu walked along the path for more than an hour without finishing the entire palace. He stopped in front of the big theater building in the back garden, and sighed to Rong Shan: "This is even worse than the East Palace back then. what."

Although the scope of the East Palace was larger than that of the Xianwang Mansion back then, the layout was not as rigorous and magnificent. Not to mention the exquisiteness of the back garden, even the decorations in the front were not so luxurious and expensive, not to mention the majesty and grandeur of the middle road hall, and that Xinyue Hall...

Che Ling laughed beside him and said, "That's natural. Our master didn't spend a penny from the imperial court on this palace, it was all paid by him himself. Naturally, it is more thoughtful than the East Palace."

Not long after the first prince was born, he was the prince. He left the palace and moved to the prince's mansion at the age of 12. Although he had a lot of power in his hands, until the collapse of the East Palace, the East Palace was slowly being repaired for more than [-] years. It must be called luxury, but the East Palace The construction was all spent by the imperial court. Even if the money is spent slowly every year, it is impossible to do whatever one wants like Xie Jue. Moreover, the East Palace is still expanding slowly, and its layout is also very scattered.

Mr. Gu glanced at him and said: "I see this layout, all the defenses are around Xinyue Hall, will the main hall and the West Road be a little loose in defense?"

According to this layout, there must be guards living under the two walls in front and east, while the west side is the residence of some people with family members, and the back building of Xinyue Hall is in the middle of the middle road. The gap of more than 20 meters is also to prevent people from coming from the back building and the back garden, so the windows on the back building are used for shooting. It is very high, and there are glazed corners. If something happens, just close the door leading to the garden from the back building and the door on the west side near the main hall, and the guards will go up to the roof, and there will be support from the wall building next to it. An impregnable defensive position.

However, in this way, it is tantamount to giving up the safety of the yard on the west road.

Generally speaking, the courtyard on the west road should be occupied by the prince's side concubine and concubine Ji.

"Do you need to be on guard over there?" Che Ling was stunned for a moment, but before he could make a sound, Rong Shan said calmly.

Mr. Gu choked for a moment, thought for a while and said, "That's true."

Che Ling said first that Xinyue Hall is where Xie Jue and Su Yue lived, as for other people, even if there are, it doesn't matter.

"Who do you really have here? Are all the officials of the palace settled?" Rong Shan started walking slowly again, and asked Che Ling.

"Chang Shi is concurrently in charge of Sun Zhiyan of the Ministry of Officials, and Sima is concurrently in charge of Wang Shangzhi of the Ministry of Rites. The two of them just play a false name. Unless there are important matters, they will not come to the palace or manage affairs. As for Yishan's reading and lectures, the Lord said He is no longer needed as an adult, and he will be matched with a young son in the future, and some petty officials have already reported to us." Che Ling followed Rong Shan as he walked slowly, "Joining the army is a job. Wanting Tang Bing to go with you, Tang Bing refused, saying that it would be more suitable for you to go with Xie Qi, but the master said that Xie Qi is inconvenient now, so let’s set up one first, and the official seal and official amulet have already been brought back for you.”

Rong Shan nodded, Chang Shi and Sima helped the prince manage the palace in name, were in charge of the servants of the palace, and the grain money lawsuits, but up to now they had no real power, it was just a name, and what did those servants read? Yes, they were all the people who accompanied you to study when the prince was young, so Xie Jue naturally didn't need it.

But joining the army is the person who commands the guards of the prince's mansion, so this must not be passed on to others.

"Mr. Gu." Che Ling turned to Mr. Gu and said, "My lord said, you will be the supervisor of the palace secretary, and there will be four palace officials under your command, who will be in charge of the main hall in the front yard."

"The main hall in the front yard?" Mr. Gu was slightly taken aback.

This palace secretary is the one who is really in charge of the internal affairs of the palace. The four palace officials under him are in charge of the four major categories of account entry, account output, manpower, and utensils. Generally, they refer to the entire palace. But the main hall in the front yard is What's the meaning?
Che Ling chuckled and said, "What the lord means is that the affairs of Xinyuetang and our wangfei's related matters in the future are all up to the wangfei herself."

That is to say, Mr. Gu arranges and is responsible for the external affairs of the palace, including those places that Su Yue cannot control, but the main courtyard where they live, including the places that Su Yue wants to manage, are all managed by Su Yue herself.

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then, is there someone under the girl?"

Che Ling smiled and said, "There should be."

Mr. Gu glared at him, what should this mean?
We will get married in a few days, you should have one!Are you in debt?
Che Ling took a step back and said, "Mr. Gu, this is what the prince said, and the prince meant it. There are many things ahead and the situation is complicated, so there must be no mistakes in the personnel arrangement, but it's easy for the girl. Let the girl take care of the situation now." It is enough for people to bring it over and use it, as for if there are less, you can add it slowly in the future.”

In short, if Su Yue doesn't nod her head, and if Su Yue doesn't bring it up, don't put anyone in Xinyue Hall!
Mr. Gu was stunned again.

What does this mean?

After getting married, the two will be husband and wife (there is only one bedroom in Xinyue Hall), and it is impossible for Su Yue to be the only one in the main courtyard, Xie Jue still has to wander around from time to time.

He also specially trained eight maids to serve Xie Jue.

What's the matter, it's gone?

Then, in the main courtyard, how will Xie Jue's safety be handled?
"Things are a bit urgent, so I can't get everything done in one go." Rong Shan said with a smile: "Mr. Gu has vacated Xinyue Hall, and the rest of the people should be arranged first. By the way, Che Ling, your main task here That one?"

All the guards he brought over were guards, plus the guards sent over before, the total number was 750. Judging from the current Xianwang Mansion, there is no problem with defense. It doesn't matter if the number of bodyguards is still small. In half a year, another group of 200 bodyguards will be able to leave the camp. There is no problem with the number of bodyguards.

The people brought by Mr. Gu were a bit miscellaneous, except for some servants and people with special skills, half of them were maids and wives.

If you take the prince's mansion as an example, the more than 70 maids and women are much less, but now there is only one female family member like Su Yue in the whole palace, and the people in the main courtyard are all brought by Su Yue, let alone this journey When I came over, I also saw that some flower workers and women had already taken their positions. Roughly counting, there were more than a hundred people. Presumably, these people were all trained by Che Ling and were already working in the mansion.

Well, these 70 people are a bit too much.

"Apart from the guards and some stewards, 150 or eight servants have come in, including eight stewards, twenty embroiderers and ten dressers." Che Ling smiled at Mr. Gu, "I have a roster of personnel. Let Mr. Gu be right. By the way, Rende Zhai is the study of the prince, and Wangyue Hall is the place where the princess entertains guests. They are entered through the corridor and the corner door of the lane respectively. Then there is the back garden, which can also be accessed directly from the lane. Come here, look, the banquet hall is opposite the theater building. If the princess wants to hold a big banquet for guests, she can do it here in the back garden, so the back garden must be manned. Now there are three large kitchens in the entire palace. Two people have already been deployed, and the people from Xinyuetang's small kitchen will be brought directly from the Su residence."

Mr. Gu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Aren't you coming into the house?" Rong Shan glanced at Mr. Gu and smiled at Che Ling.

"No, we will not enter the mansion, and we will not be recorded in the roster of the virtuous king's mansion." Speaking of this, Che Ling suddenly understood what Rong Shan meant, and smiled at the two of them: "What the lord means is that the mansion has two layers, inside and outside. Yes, the prince's salary, as well as some property recorded in the accounts of the palace, its income and expenses go to the internal account, while the rest go to the external account. Che Ling and I are still following the previous method. What should we do? do what you want."

Mr. Gu's eyelids twitched unconsciously. This is tantamount to a clear account and a hidden account.

Moreover, Che Ling and the others did not enter the Palace of Xian, that is to say, those who entered the accounts of the Palace were under the control of Xie Jue himself and his subordinates.

As the supervisor of the lawsuit, what he has to manage is the daily entry and exit expenses of the palace.

According to Xie Jue's habit, I'm afraid that all the regulations have been clearly drawn up, and he only needs to implement them in practice.

Not knowing what to feel in his heart, Mr. Gu let out a long breath.

Then, looking at a bush of roses blooming in front of him, he let out another breath.

Then he nodded and said: "I understand, I will take care of the internal affairs of the palace, and make sure that there are no omissions and troubles in the palace."

The kind of incident where someone opens the door privately and someone informs Concubine Xie where is privately should never happen again.

After walking this way, Mr. Gu thought that he already had enough mental endurance, but after Tang Bing came to mention the matter at night, he was still shocked and furious.

But no matter how furious, after Tang Bing knelt in his room for half an hour, Mr. Gu agreed.
