Early the next morning, Gao Yuan, together with Ning Qi, led the servants sent to him by Li Mu to the mansion given to him by King Zhao.

There are a total of twenty-three people sent by Li Mu to the plateau, a total of fourteen men and nine women, four of whom are in Li Mu's mansion as stewards, respectively called Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, Yao Shaosi, these four people were originally Li Mu's disciples, because they followed Li Mu for a long time, so they all became stewards in Li Mu's family, and the others were the family members of these four people, which also shows that Li Mu actually sent these four people to the plateau.

At yesterday's banquet, Li Mu and Sima Shang made a bet with Guo Kai, a total of three thousand eridium gold, both of them said that these gold were won back by the plateau, so the three thousand eridium gold were given to the plateau, and the plateau could not refuse, so he had to accept all the gold, plus the five hundred eridium gold given to him by Zhao Wangqian, now the plateau has more than 3,500 eridium gold, if converted into grain, you can buy 40 to 500,000 stones, in this era, It can also be considered a huge fortune.

The mansion of the plateau is not far from Li Mu's mansion, and it will be there in a while.

The minister's mansion of this era is built according to certain regulations, the layout is almost identical, all of them are roughly a square enclosure structure, symmetrical arrangement, the main parts are concentrated in the middle of the straight line, for the portal, the front room, the main hall, the back room, the back hall, the inner room, etc., for the master to meet guests, banquets, living places, left and right is the warehouse, guest rooms, stables, kitchens, servants' residences, etc., the difference is only the size of the area, the number of rooms, and the portal, each room, the size of the hall, floors, The height of the courtyard walls is also regulated, and it varies according to the level of the official position.

If there is a minister who does not respect the rules, he will be punished by the court for faux pas. Even in this era of decay, it is no exception. Only a few high-powered ministers' residences can have some changes, but they are not much different. Only when you have your own fiefdom can you do what you want.

The mansion that King Zhao gave to the plateau is such a standard mansion, although it is not as big as Li Mu's mansion, but the scale is not small, it is divided into three courtyards, the vertical and horizontal distances are more than 100 meters, and there are at least seventy or eighty rooms of various sizes combined, and the decoration of the mansion is also very exquisite and gorgeous, without a sense of decay. It also made Gao Yuan sigh, he couldn't imagine that he had come to this era and could have such a large mansion, which was unimaginable in the past.

Moreover, what Zhao Wangqian gave was not just a mansion, the furniture in it was all available, and even the servants and attendants were all equipped for women, and Zhao Wangqian also specially gave twenty singers and beauties on the plateau, a total of more than 150 people, nearly 100 male servants, and more than 50 or 60 women. Moreover, they had already received the notice, so they had gathered in front of the gate under the leadership of the head of the mansion to welcome the new owner.

After entering the door, everyone knelt on the ground and said in unison, "See Doctor Gao." And Gao Yuan was also shocked, he didn't expect that there would be so many people in this mansion.

Gao Yuan said: "You all get up." ”

Then everyone got up one after another. Gao Yuan took a look, and found that among the servants, men, women, and children were all available. Gao Yuan also said: "Among you, who is in charge?" ”

In the middle of the crowd, there was an old man in his sixties, who stepped forward, bowed and said, "Lord Hui, now this mansion is in charge of the villain." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "What's your name?" ”

The old man said: "The villain's name is Geng Zhong. He turned to Ning Qi again, gave a salute, and said, "I've seen Mr. Ning." ”

Ning Qi also returned the salute and said, "It turned out to be Steward Geng." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Do you know each other? ”

At this time, Ning Qi said: "Back to my lord, this mansion was originally the mansion of Dr. Geng Jing, and later Dr. Geng was killed by the king because of his crimes, and the mansion was also confiscated, and now it is given to the lord." They were all servants in Dr. Geng's mansion in the past, so most of them had the surname Geng. This Steward Geng used to be the housekeeper in Dr. Geng's mansion, and he had several dealings with the villain, so he got acquainted. Then he turned to Geng Zhong and said, "Are the people in this mansion still the same people?" ”

Geng Zhong hurriedly said: "Yes." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The king also sent twenty singers today, saying that they were given to your lords." ”

In fact, Gao Yuan has long noticed these twenty singers, because the clothes of these twenty singers are different from others, and they are young and beautiful, and they have an elegant temperament, which is conspicuous among them. In this era, servants, maids, and singers are all equal to slaves, basically without their own personal freedom, and are completely the private property of the master, which can be disposed of by the master at will, and they are singers, and they have the obligation to sleep for the master. Therefore, Zhao Wangqian gave twenty singers to himself, obviously for the sake of himself.

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Geng Zhong, I just came to the mansion, and I don't know anything about the affairs, so you are still in charge of things in this mansion, and the other people were in charge of what they were in charge of in the past, and they are still in charge now." The four of them," said Gao Yuan, who also pointed to Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, and Yao Shaosi, and said, "Check in with me, arrange a place for them first, and you hand over the list of all personnel to me in the evening, and I will assign your affairs after I have seen it." ”

Geng Zhong hurriedly said: "Respect the life of the lord." Then he said: "My lord, look at the servants and maids in the house, whether they all follow the surname of the adult." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "What did they have in the past, or what their surnames were, so they don't have to change it." ”

Geng Zhong agreed, immediately dismissed everyone, and then went to arrange a residence for Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, and Yao Shaosi, of course he knew that these four people came with Gao Yuan, and they were naturally Gao Yuan's cronies, and they would definitely hold important positions in the mansion in the future, including their own position in charge, and it was very likely that they would give way to one of them in the future, which was also a son of heaven and a courtier, so they did not dare to slack off, and they had to be treated carefully. In addition, all the gold brought from the plateau was packed into the house. At the same time, I was also secretly surprised that the new master was weighing money, and there were three or four thousand eridium gold at once.

Ning Qi saw that there was nothing lacking in this mansion, so he was relieved, so after the plateau settled down a little, he also resigned to Gao Yuan and returned to Li Mu's residence.

And after Ning Qi left, other officials in the court also sent their families to the mansion to congratulate the plateau, so the plateau was young, he became a doctor, and he also held the title of the star descending into the world, and won the value of Li Mu, and also hoped to make friends with the plateau, so the congratulatory gifts sent were also very rich, including the commonly used white wall, jade pendant, silk silk, as well as wine, famous horses, pearls, rhino horns, ivory, bronze swords and other valuables, of course, it is indispensable to send singers. He made another big deal to Guo Gaoyuan, not only received a large number of valuables, but also received more than 20 singers.

As a result, throughout the day, the mansions of the plateau were very lively, and the visitors were constantly coming and going, and because the plateau and the others were new to the mansion, they were not familiar with the affairs and personnel in the mansion, so Geng Zhong was still responsible for the entertainment of the qiē, but all day long, Geng Zhong received visitors from various prefectures, and was courteous, busy but not chaotic, orderly, and easy, showing strong organizational and communicative skills. Of course, many of them are old acquaintances of Geng Zhong.

Moreover, while receiving guests, all the residences and items of the people such as the plateau were arranged, and there was no delay inside and outside. Even Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, and Yao Shaosi admired Geng Zhong's ability and were ashamed of themselves.

Geng Zhong's appearance also made Gao Yuan very impressed, this old man has seen the world, in the end, he is from a doctor's family, and it seems that he can still be the head of the house in the future.

Busy until the lights are lit up in the evening. The guests were all dispersed, and Gao Yuan had dinner with everyone, and in addition to Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, and Yao Shaosi to accompany him, Gao Yuan also let Geng Zhong sit together, and by the way, he also asked Geng Zhong about the situation in the house. In fact, in Li Mu's mansion, Li Muzhi often dined with guests, Yan Zhong and the other four were used to it, and Geng Zhong was also flattered. The questions of the plateau were also answered in great detail.

At the dinner table, Gao Yuan also made arrangements for the affairs of the other four, Yan Zhong was responsible for the correspondence with other ministers, Han Sheng was in charge of the money, food, property, and various income and expenditure in the house, Guo Chen was responsible for managing all kinds of items and horses in the house, purchasing and selling, and Yao Shaosi was responsible for rewarding and punishing the servants and women in the palace and defending the entire mansion. At the same time, Geng Zhong also arranged to clean up the room and stables, because soldiers will move in in the next few days. And Geng Zhong also wrote them down one by one.

After dinner, Geng Zhongcai said: "How many people need to serve in the living life of adults, and whether adults should choose it personally." After a pause, he said, "The twenty singers given by the king, do you want to choose a few of them to serve?" ”

In fact, Gao Yuan is not used to being served, in Li Mu's military camp, although he lives alone in a tent, there is no one to serve, and every qiē affairs are handled by himself. However, with his own mansion, there are indeed people to serve, not to mention anything else, only his own living room has four or five rooms, adding up to more than 200 square meters, such a large room, there are always a few people to clean, clean up the items or something. So he also nodded and said, "Okay, I won't choose it personally, you can just look at the arrangement of a few people, but you don't need too many people, and don't choose from the singers." After a pause, he said, "There are four of them, and a few people are also arranged to serve." ”

Geng Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the villain has already been arranged, and they have all been arranged to the residence of the four gentlemen." If the four gentlemen are not satisfied, I will replace them. ”

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Steward Geng, you are very thoughtful. ”

Geng Zhong said again: "The attendants I selected for the adults have also been arranged, and they are in the adults' rooms, so please go and see them with your own eyes." ”

Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, although he was not picky about the service personnel, but it was good to take a look, and Geng Zhong was also a rare thought, so he said: "Okay, let's go and have a look together." Then he said to the other four, "You have all been busy all day, so rest early." ”

Everyone said goodbye to Gao and left, and Gao Yuan, accompanied by Geng Zhong, returned to his own room.
