The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 7 : 3 Prince Xiao Xiao

The capital of the Great Xia Kingdom was built with the imperial city as its core. The imperial city faces south and north, Zhuque Avenue connects north and south, and Xuanwu Avenue connects east and west, thus dividing the capital into four large areas.

The area northeast of the imperial city is Dongcheng District, clockwise and analogously, it is Xicheng District, Nancheng District and Beicheng District.

Among them, the Nancheng District is the residence of high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor, and the Beicheng District is mostly merchants and ordinary people. Officials with low official positions will also settle here. The Xicheng District is mostly the poor, and the Dongcheng District is mostly the city. Nearly one million people gather in the huge capital, and you can imagine how big this city is.

a population of one million, based on a family of seven people, there are about 150,000 households. Everyone consumes half a catty of vegetables a day, and the total amount is 500,000 catties. If you use a cart to pull it, you have to have hundreds or thousands of carts, firewood, and grain. You can imagine the constant flow of vendors who enter and exit the capital every day. Therefore, the square market in Dongcheng District is so lively.

In Dongcheng District, there are twelve square cities in detail. The shop purchased by Gaoquan is in the sixth square city, which is the most central location in Dongcheng District. It is very close to Beicheng District, Xicheng District and Imperial City, and the price is naturally expensive. .

Fifteen thousand taels of silver is all the wealth that Xiao Rui has accumulated. He has not opened the mansion and has no salary. He has no salary for food and accommodation. The royal family financed his food and lodging. The amount of rice he can receive is replaced by silver, which is pitiful. Unlike Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan, who have family support from their mothers and concubines, they live with a smile.

Riding a carriage to Sixth Square City, Xiao Rui saw the shop he had bought.

Needless to say the location, the two streets of the street are filled with rice shops, noodle shops, cloth shops, etc., and there is a huge flow of people. The shop is not too old, it used to be a restaurant, and the business is also very good. It was anxious to spend money before selling it. Just let the carpenter decorate it and you can open it directly. The tables and chairs in the hall are all there, and they were presented together by the store.

“Why don’t you open a restaurant?”

It is a pity that Xiao Rui is not a graduate of New Oriental, nor is he a super chef, so he can’t make a map of the red sea bream.

Forget it, I still want other ways.

Actually, it’s not that Xiao Rui had no idea, but that there were too many ideas. At any rate, he was a traverser, and he couldn’t be worse than the group of guys who would be a son-in-law.

Wow, Xiao Rui felt a little floating. Is this moving towards the No. 1 Shang in the world? If the respected Emperor Xia knew, would he not want his own son?

“Wait, if you want to make a profit, you can make a profitable business.” Thinking of this, Xiao Rui didn’t worry anymore.

So took Gao Quan to wander around to pass the time.

All kinds of people and all kinds of things have created the prosperity of the capital. Xiao Rui often ran out to hang out and feel the simplicity and excitement of this era.

said that it was also coincidental. When he was passing by the Tingyin Pavilion, he happened to ran into the third prince Xiao Ze.

“Old Seven?” Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Rui, who was dressed in sackcloth, and asked with a smile: “Aren’t you at home preparing for tomorrow’s test, and you still want to come out to play?”

Xiao Rui stepped forward and said with a smile: “I came out to play for a better test tomorrow. What if the content of the test tomorrow is to understand the people’s sentiments and understand the people’s suffering.”

“You, you still have sharp teeth. Let’s go and accompany me to listen to the music.” Xiao Ze smiled.

Xiao Rui did not postpone, and accompany him in.

The three princes, Xiao Ze, was named the king of Wu, and he did not have any official positions, and he was free in Beijing. Compared with the other princes, he is obviously not interested in the throne, he is keen on music, and he has to go to the Tingyin Pavilion to listen to music every day. He also likes to place love in the mountains and rivers. He has applied to the Emperor Xia many times to go out and play with the United States. .

This attitude, other princes believe it or not Xiao Rui doesn’t know, but Xiao Rui is very envious.

entered the Tingyin Pavilion and came to a quiet box.

The house is very elegant and quiet, with a wooden structure room. The ground is a wooden floor. There is an old pine planted in the center and white pebbles are placed on the root system.

Xiao Ze led Xiao Rui into the room. After a while, several women came into the room with guqin, zither, and jade flute. They sat around the ancient pine and began to play music.

The music sounded and turned to listen.

Xiao Ze makes good tea and pushes it to Xiao Rui.

“I heard that you had a big poem in the morning, and you stunned Dr. Jin severely?” Xiao Ze asked.

Xiao Rui smiled, and sure enough, even if he was a down-and-out prince, everyone was watching every move. This time I made a high profile, I don’t know what other brothers would think.

“Dr. Jin is always aiming at me. It embarrassed him this time, so refreshing.” Xiao Rui looked smug.

Xiao Ze said, “You, without thinking about everything, how do you make a fuss, let the other brothers guess? The eldest brother is gentle and needless to say. What about the second brother, the fifth brother, and the sixth brother?”

“How do they guess I can’t control it, after all, I am not the roundworm in their stomach.” Xiao Rui pretended to be arrogant: “Can I be worse off in my current situation?”

Xiao Ze was taken aback, then sighed.

Yes, there is no harem backing, and the father does not spoil him. What is the meaning of him?

“Just wait for you to open the house.” Xiao Ze smiled.

Xiao Rui heard the voice-over and deliberately said: “Well, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to get the money for hiring people. The third brother is not ignorant of the virtues of the inner court.”

Xiao Ze said, “This time it’s different. I heard some news. You are only one year old from Lao Ba and Lao Jiu. My father intends to let the three of you open the mansion at the same time, and then all of our nine brothers will be sent as officials. ”

“Huh?” Xiao Rui sat up straight.

Emperor Xia has locked all the princes in the capital for so long, is he finally ready to send him out as an official? And nine princes went out at the same time. This has to make people wonder, is it because Emperor Xia deliberately did it to test the selection of the prince, and to see the performance of each prince?

“That’s the best.” Xiao Rui said in surprise.

Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Rui, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com sighed, and said: “Is it really good? Old Qi…At that moment, life will not be peaceful.”

Xiao Rui remained silent. He was only seventeen years old, keeping in mind the truth that I still don’t understand anything.

Xiao Ze said again: “Tomorrow the father will test, if he can perform, he will do well. After all, where he will work in the future depends on his father’s wishes. I have also thought about it. It is best to go to Yangzhou. There are many beautiful people and the environment is good. ”

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and said, “The third brother will pick a good place.”

“Hey, my ambition lies between mountains and rivers.” Xiao Ze said cheerfully.

“Between mountains and rivers, isn’t it just a country?” Xiao Rui blinked and asked.

Xiao Ze’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he quickly poured tea for Xiao Rui and blocked his mouth. And made up his mind, not to say that I am in love with the mountains and rivers in the future.

The song “Yang Chun Bai Xue” is over, Xiao Ze waved his hand to dismiss the musician.

“I heard that the fourth child introduced you to the family relationship. Is this the second young lady of the Zhongyong Hou’s family?” Xiao Ze asked.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, “I took him five thousand taels, hehe…”

Xiao Ze stared at Xiao Rui and said, “If you really go for the money, it would be fine. Third brother also advised you, don’t have any other ideas. Did you find out that the Twelfth Army Marquis was famous in the Southern and Northern Wars, only Bai Huhou’s sister at the end is in the harem?”

The last of the twelve military officers is Baihuhou, and his sister is the current queen. In fact, at the earliest, only the nine military marquis, Baihuhou, relied on the light of the queen to be included in the twelve military marquis with Chiyan Marquis and Lieyan Marquis.

In order to prevent foreign relatives from taking part in politics, the Emperor Xia did not marry women from the Junhou family into the palace from the earliest days. If Xiao Rui really married Zhongyonghou’s daughter, I don’t know what Xia Huang would think.

I am for the advent value!

Xiao Rui wanted to say this, but Xiao Ze probably didn’t understand it either.
