Chen Mu was a little stunned by the royal gift bag, although he had not yet met Emperor Longqing, but it seemed that he had been bought.

The first thing he knew was that Emperor Longqing was very stingy with this person, which was reflected in the fact that he saved seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver a year compared to his father's meal, but his reward was not stingy.

Although there is not much silver, the so-called platinum hundred taels is just an elegant name for silver.

In the eight tables of all kinds of brocade, the embroidered lion is because the first and second grade military attachés are lions, in fact, it is less than ten royal brocades, and the eight tables are eight sets of internal and external fabrics, that is, he is given enough imperial materials to make eight sets of clothes, and he will ask someone to do whatever he likes to wear.

The tribute Goryeo silk scarf is a hair scarf, a hair net scarf used by men in the Ming Dynasty, and a flying fish suit worn outside to pull the wind, the texture of boots and socks is also of the highest quality, and the mink fur that protects against the cold outside is also complete.

There are mink furs in winter and fans in summer; He who goes out rides a royal horse, with a long knife at his waist; The slaves and maids who serve also have a grange that will not let the general starve to death, and the 100 acres of Zhuang Tian is not to give him 100 acres of land, but to give him the harvest of 100 acres of land, in fact, there is not much, and the harvest in a year is only 200 stone meters.

General Chen's current monthly salary is 61 stones, which is equivalent to 15 months' salary in the next year.

It is worth mentioning that Yang San led the wine, just because of this, this thing is a novelty for Chen Mu, in fact, it literally means to lead the sheep to carry the wine and reward the meaning of meritorious service, but in the Ming Dynasty, the meritorious reward and reward has a very mature set of specifications, and the sheep wine is like this.

The three sheep are hanging side by side like horses, and there is a large bottle of imperial wine behind the car, which is called a bottle of sheep and three wines.

Sheep like this, no, wine like this, Chen Ye has thirty bottles, and the sheep is also his.

For example, at the beginning of this year, Ma Fang kicked my home in the cavalry of Saibei, and the emperor's reward to Ma Fang was 50 bottles of sheep and five wine.

Sheep and wine, in fact, whether it is Ma Fang or Chen Mu, the imperial court does not send them to eat and drink slowly, and stay at home to shear sheep, in fact, the emperor is afraid that the generals will win the battle but will not have the resources to reward the soldiers who follow him to fight bravely, so he rewards sheep and wine, and solves the most expensive things in the whole army's reward, so that these meritorious people who have fought to the death for the country and achieved victory can let go of their hands and feet to celebrate the victory.

Chen Mu didn't keep much of it, and as soon as he received the twenty bottles of wine, he sent people to transport them to Jiang Yuelin and Hu Xing, so that they could have a good meal with the flag army.

There are only more than 2,000 soldiers on his side, and counting the soldiers who Lao Bai gave him less than 3,000 meats, one person can eat half a catty and make soup at night.

And then there's ...... He has a house in Beijing.

It is located in the east of the imperial city in the inner city, next to the East Okura, not far from Chaoyang Gate, and is located between the inner city and the lamp market.

"Brother Xian, you don't know, this house is a rare and good location!"

Left and right dismissed the official position in the north and panicked, Chen Mu took Long Junxiong and two members to accompany him, went to the capital to find Xu Jue, and asked him to take him to find a new house according to the title deed, where did he know that Xu Jue was surprised when he saw the title deed, and pointed to the title deed with emotion: "A hundred years ago, the people living on the streets before and after were all nobles!" ”

"To the west is Dong'an Gate, through Dong'an Gate is the inner city, and the end of the inner city is Donghua Gate, which is the east gate of the imperial city."

Xu Pang and Chen Mu walked on the street, although the two got along very well, Chen Mu could obviously feel that Xu Jue's smile was only due to his accommodation, not his own personality - Xu Jue, who was wearing a crimson flying fish suit, walked rampant in the imperial capital market, and even seemed a little rampant in Chen Mu's opinion.

If he wants to go, he will walk right in the middle of the street.

The first four Jingshi rode to lead the way, and the four brocade-clothed flying fish in the back accompanied them, it was simply a clean street tiger, a real rampant street market, people who came and went didn't care if they were riding horses or sitting in a sedan chair, regardless of whether they were civil officials or military attachés in blue robes and green robes, they all retreated, and ordinary people bowed down when they saw it, Xu Jueli ignored it, walked over arrogantly, and pointed to Chen Mu left and right as he walked.

"The inner city to the west is opened every Thursday every month, outsiders are not allowed to enter, the most prosperous is the Dong'anmen area, your total soldier waist card is not easy to make, turn back to the brother to give you the waist card of the Jinyi command, when the time comes, go shopping, there are the best objects in the world."

Xu Jue said that these leaders said, "Xuande's bronzes, Chenghua's kiln porcelain, Yongle orchard's lacquerware, and Jingtai's enamel in the imperial workshop are all treasures that are difficult to find in the world, and there is never a shortage in the inner market, and even sometimes the utensils stolen by the little internal officials from the palace will also go to the people from the inner market." Every time the market opens, the princes' mansions and concubines will send people to buy, and you can also send people to visit at that time. ”

While speaking, Chen Mu looked at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, the commercial market was gathered, even outside the inner market, it was extremely prosperous, all kinds of shops, wine and food buildings gathered here, compared to him, he came from the south to really look like a hillbilly, everywhere novelty.

It's just that wherever they go, the dense crowds are squeezed out of other places, and there is a little less bustling pleasure in shopping.

"This side belongs to the outside market, that is, the commonly known lamp market in Beijing, out of Dong'anmen across the jade bridge and then to the east, Wangfu Street east to Chongwen Street west, this section is the lamp market. At the earliest, there were only ten days of lights on the Shangyuan Festival, or the ancestors changed the six days of the Song Dynasty to ten days, but now ten days a year is not enough. ”

Xu Jue smiled and said: "In addition to the eighth day of the first month of the Shangyuan Festival to the seventeenth strike, the fifth day of the first month, the tenth and the twentieth of the first month, the same is the third day of the opening of the market every month, although the utensils are not as good as the inner city, the lamp market also has a unique place, every year the Shangyuan court gives the hundred officials ten days off, two miles and nine cities, the goods go with the team, every evening to put on the lights and make fun, fireworks rise endlessly, the most. ”

"The lamps that can be lit on the night of the opening of the lamp market are all set of the world's preciousness, with Fujian and Guangdong skills, Suzhou and Hangzhou splendor, marine materials, a collection of selection, if any of the lanterns lit up a little ordinary, do not dare to take it out."

Xu Jue patted his head as he spoke, and said: "Your house should also have two outer buildings, which can be leased to others to do some business on weekdays, and it is best to enjoy the lanterns and drink wine in the outer building when you go to the lamp market. If you don't use it when you go out, it's worth a hundred taels of silver a day. ”

Saying that, he walked to the outside of a shop with a wide door number, and the signboard had a tailor shop with a royal pen written 'Yuan's tailoring', Xu Jue stood and said: "This is a few shops outside your house, too lazy to turn around, let's go in from his shop, this shop is very good, and His Majesty's clothes are all ordered by the Shangyi supervisor from his house." ”

Passing through Yuan's tailoring, to the bustling back street, facing the door face with two big evil beasts into the big four, now the house has changed the lintel, there is also a large stone carved lion rolling hydrangea in front of the door, the seal is engraved 'meritorious general door', it is Chen Mu's new home.
