Although Zhu Lian's door cannot be entered, don't we still have Zheng Qingyun?
But after a second thought, Zhao Huan decided to endure it one more time.
Women in the Song Dynasty were open-minded, but not wanton. Moreover, Zheng Qingyun was the future concubine, not a concubine, so having sex before marriage, although no one dared to say no to Zhao Huan, was still against the rules.
In order to avoid attracting attention, and to prevent Zheng Qingyun's life from having any more flaws, Zhao Huan decided to be a damn gentleman.
How can a gentleman be that easy?
The majestic prince didn't even have a place to sleep, so he could only go to the study and burn the light to fight at night. Fortunately, the weather was not cold yet, so he could bear it.
As a result, both Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun were secretly distressed. When Zhao Huan was planning the blueprint for the reconstruction of Yizhou, the study door was pushed open. Xiaoxia and Chen Yushu came to Zhao Huan one after another with their heads lowered and their faces red.
The two girls shyly said in unison: "The princess and the concubine have sent slaves to serve the prince."
It seems that there are many benefits to being a prince, at least "that aspect" of life is still very rich.
Xiaoxia and Chen Yushu are naturally not picky about their looks. If they can become maids in the palace, how bad can they be?
However, Zhao Huan was not in a good mood now, so he replied casually.
"I have gone to Yizhou and am a little tired, so there is no need."
Being rejected miserably, the two women didn't know whether they were happy or disappointed.
Xiaoxia stuck out her tongue and did not hesitate. Anyway, she was already Zhu Lian's personal maid. She would not be able to avoid this kind of thing in the future, so she simply resigned and went back to accompany Zhu Lian.
Chen Yushu heated up a pot of tea and brought it to Zhao Huan.
Seeing Zhao Huan drawing extremely complicated architectural plans, Chen Yushu couldn't help but sigh: "Is the prince preparing to rebuild Yizhou Mansion?"
"I guess it will cost a lot of money, right?"
Zhao Huan bit the tip of his pen in his mouth, tilted his head and thought about the fortress map he had seen on the Internet before, and at the same time replied absently: "You have to spend money to fight, and this is just the beginning."
"There are many places to spend money on rebuilding Yizhou Prefecture, preparing war supplies, replenishing military resources, training new recruits, and military salary expenditures."
"But my scumbag dad didn't give me a penny, and he said, if you can't support the army, don't support it, and continue to be a happy prince in the city."
"I can go to hell..."
Before Zhao Huan could curse the last word "Master", Chen Yushu was so frightened that she quickly covered Zhao Huan's mouth. Realizing that she had crossed a line, she quickly retracted her hand.
"The prince is still so open-minded. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. If this word is spread, how can it be repaid?"
Looking at Chen Yushu's intelligent appearance, Zhao Huan couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you afraid of? I dare to say this in front of His Majesty."
"There is no such thing as being arrogant because of your talent and your superior skills. I rely on your superior skills to stand firm."
"Let me tell you a little secret. In the hearts of His Majesty and the courtiers, I am now roughly equivalent to Dong Zhuo."
"Dong Zhuo, you know, right?"
Chen Yushu smiled and shook her head: "Who is Dong Zhuo? He must be an indomitable hero."
Since "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were no popular books about the Three Kingdoms period in this era, so such historical celebrities are still extremely unfamiliar to the common people.
The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, but it was only limited to the gentry and aristocratic class. No matter what era, knowledge was insulated from ordinary people.
If you don't work desperately to make a living, let alone floating in the ocean of books, you will probably be floating in the ocean of maggots tomorrow.
"Dong Zhuo is not a hero, but he is definitely a tyrant."
"You just need to remember that this person is very good at fighting."
Although most people despised Dong Zhuo, Zhao Huan firmly believed that Dong Zhuo would never lose to Lu Bu in terms of force value, and even beat him.
Just rely on the two points of "brave" and "shooting the bow left and right" recorded in the history books!
A wise king in prosperous times and a tycoon in troubled times, Zhao Huan regarded Dong Zhuo as a benchmark, not because Dong Zhuo was greedy for money and lust.
Absolutely! Yes! No! Yes!
Chen Yushu didn't know that much. She only knew that the palace would spend a lot of money next.
"So it turns out that it takes so much money to support an army?"
"Simply relying on the palace's savings will sooner or later result in nothing. Why doesn't the prince quickly think of ways to make money?"
These words touched upon Zhao Huan's pain point.
Why doesn't he want to? He even dreams about it!
It's a pity that Prince Cheng and Prince Bai have too high status, so it would be unjustifiable for them to lick their faces and get involved in business.
Whether we can get money now mainly depends on two people, one is Chen Zhao and the other is Zhu Lian.
Although Chen Zhao's cross-sea trade will not bear fruit in a short period of time, once it is started, he will have a stable income and there is no need to panic anymore.
Zhu Lian will become the owner of the palace's properties, including cross-sea trade and properties donated by the Zhu family, all of which will be managed by her.
Forget it, why are you worrying about so many things?
There are always more solutions than difficulties.
Zhao Huan continued to work on the reconstruction of Yizhou Mansion. When he fell asleep on the table, even Zhao Huan himself did not know.
I only know that after waking up, I will lie on Zhu Lian's fragrant bed.
"Tsk, tsk, it's said that entry is prohibited for half a month. Doesn't this still make me feel sorry for you?"
"It seems that as long as I am thick-skinned enough, this ban will be in vain."
Just when Zhao Huan was feeling proud, Zhu Lian's humming could be heard outside the door.
"Why are you so proud? Why don't you get up quickly and go out to meet the guests?"
Zhao Huan turned over with an impatient look on his face: "What kind of customer are you seeing this early in the morning? Who is it? Being so blind and disturbing others' dreams may shorten their lives."
As soon as this statement came out, Zhao Huan was able to stab someone in the trap.
Zhu Lian's face fell instantly, and as soon as he closed the door, he started to deal with Zhao Huan.
"Who is so blind? My dad!"
"You just came back from Yizhou and have made great achievements. Who else but my father will come early to congratulate you?"
I'll check it out, it turns out it's my father-in-law.
Faced with the look in Zhu Lian's eyes that was about to "cut him", Zhao Huan dared not complain at all. He quickly got up, changed clothes, washed up, and ran to the front hall in a hurry.
It was agreed that it would be his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, but as a result, half of the Zhu family members came, and the front hall was packed to the brim.
As soon as Zhao Huan showed up, the scene immediately exploded.
"The prince is here!"
"Hahaha, the prince is so brave that he can be compared to the overlord in this world."
"Even His Majesty said that the prince has your Majesty's talents, the courage of the Zhezong, and the strategy of the ancestors and emperors. How high is this evaluation?"
"Your Majesty is definitely worthy of it!"
"With the prince as our son-in-law, our Zhu family is already truly the most powerful family in the Song Dynasty, hahaha."
Zhao Huan smiled and nodded in response, but his heart was full of contempt.
You are shameless, I still want it.
The Overlord is still alive? How big does this have to be to dare to be compared with the Overlord Xiang Yu?
