Zhao Bing finally gave up the idea of ​​going to "watch the ceremony", but he felt a little regretful that he had not been able to visit his father-in-law's house after traveling through time. After all, it was not easy for him to go to his minister's house as the emperor, especially for such visits. In "Dream of Red Mansions", he remembered, Concubine Jia in "Dream of Red Mansions" he only went home for half a day and made a mess of the Jia family. It took a full year to prepare for the trip, and it took countless money. Even if the Wu family's family was rich, they would be tossed and broken.

The interrogation here has come to an end for the time being, but Zhao Bing is unwilling to return to the palace, so he asked Zheng Huchen to rest himself. He looked through the interrogation records of last night. After half a day, Pan Heng took lunch at the Dutch Palace before getting back. At this moment, the invitation ceremony has ended, and the envoy has reported that the Empress Dowager has left the palace, and the noisy palace ban has returned to peace.

"Wang De, what are you doing?" Zhao Bing entered the palace from Xihua Gate, turned to Wende Hall, and when he arrived at Zaixin Hall, he found that there were many boxes of cages parked here. A group of small yellow gates were transporting under Wang De's command, which seemed a little confused. He called him and asked.

"The official family, these are all dowry sent by the Wu family. The young one is sending people to the hall!" Wang De bowed and said.

"Oh, there is also a dowry?" Zhao Bing wondered. Because the original Beigong bedroom was converted into Wende Hall, and the emperor's bridal chamber was gone, so the Zaixin Hall, which was originally used for banquets by Emperor Gaozong, became his new house. However, it was different from the custom of a new house in the folk, which was a bridal chamber. The emperor's wedding wedding was not in his own dormitory, and there was no fixed bridal chamber. Generally, he would find a room to use it temporarily at the place where the ceremony was held.

"Official families and small families in the countryside still have dowry items to marry their daughters. Besides, if they marry into the royal family, they naturally have to back up their marriage funds." Wang De explained with a smile when he saw the little emperor's face ignorant.

"In this way, I can still recover some of the costs!" Zhao Bing always thought that his marriage was a business of politics and money, and he never expected that there would be surprises, so he immediately turned into a sunny and sunny way.

"Official family, ah..." Wang De didn't know how to answer after hearing this, but he thought in his heart that the little emperor was still worried about this marriage, and the queen would suffer in the future, and his future life would be "extremely exciting".

"What has the Wu family delivered?" Zhao Bing did not hear Wang De's sigh, but asked with interest.

"Oh, this is a gift list for the official family!" Wang De quickly took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it on his hands.

"Look at what it is, go in and take a look!" Zhao Bing pushed Wang De away, raised his legs and walked towards the bedroom.

"Slow down the official family, the palace has not been arranged yet?" Wang De sighed again. The little emperor really regarded the marriage as a business, but just as he was stunned, he had already walked towards the palace. He could only ask Liu Ling to stare, and trot and chase him.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the royal family would not be immune to the vulgarity!" This was the first time Zhao Bing came to his new house. He saw a wooden screen wall with red inlaid in gold at the door. The hall was mainly made of red. There was a red carpet on the ground, the walls were covered with red paint, and there were red curtains hanging on both sides. I thought this was the place for the ceremony, but after seeing it, he sighed with a little disappointment.

"What are the things that the officials are not satisfied with? The young ones asked them to redesign immediately." Seeing that the little emperor was not very satisfied, Wang De quickly inquired.

"Forget it, it's a waste of money, there's no need to make trouble!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"The official family has not been fully arranged here, there is no laid on the door, nor has the wedding couplets been hung. At that time, palace lanterns will be hung in the hall and some ornaments will be installed, which will be different again." Wang De introduced carefully.

"Is this the bridal chamber?" Zhao Bingxin walked around the hall and looked at it. He walked to the warm pavilion east of the hall, but saw a large palace lantern with a word "四" hanging in front of the door. There was a double-happy character sticky gold and powder on the big gold-plated red door. A red-inlaid gold-inlaid wooden screen wall was erected in the east aisle outside the bridal chamber, which was a bit like a sign of avoidance, and he pointed.

"The official said it well!" Wang De said as he led the way forward.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded and then entered the house. This was a big house with two large rooms. A throne was arranged against the wall on the east side, and there were redwood screens on both sides. A soft couch was arranged on the left, tea sets were placed on it, and some gold and jade ornaments were placed on the table, which should be considered a place for leisure; a desk was placed on the right side, with a vertical book partition, and the table was placed with four treasures of the study and a lampstand, which should be his office and study place.

The northwest corner is a wedding bed with dragons and phoenixes carved and painted phoenixes. The bed is covered with red satin dragon and phoenix mattresses, and a wedding quilt with bright yellow satin and vermilion satin. The pattern is beautiful and the embroidery is fine. In front of the bed is hung with more than a hundred children of different shapes. The bed curtains with dragons and phoenixes embroidered on the bed are hung with big red satin embroidered dragons and phoenixes. Does the imperial family also want more children to be blessed? Other places are furniture, which are nothing more than dressing tables, treasure cabinets, shelves, pot racks such as flowers and plants, etc.

Zhao Bing's mind was not about whether he was arrogant, but about secret. He knew that the emperor never slept alone. He was served by someone, with maids in front of the bed, with rotating palace maids waiting by the door, and a small yellow door outside the door waiting to greet him. I guess this would be the case if he married a wife. There will be no fewer people serving him, only more. Think about how happy he was in bed, there were helping people watching, and he was still waiting to buy tickets and give gifts. I don't know how other emperors reacted, but he felt that he couldn't do it anyway.

"Official family, how about this bed, are you still satisfied?" Wang De asked with a smile when he saw the little emperor jumping onto the bed and lying on his back.

"The bed is big enough, but it's too soft!" Zhao Bing said after twisting his body on the bed. He felt a little relieved after seeing it. Not only were there barriers around him, but there were also many curtains around the bed. The secret is still good, and it is impossible to peek, but the sound insulation effect is definitely not good, which makes him very satisfied.

"The official family, the rules are like this, so I can only bear it!" Wang De could only smile bitterly after hearing this. The little emperor had always slept on a hard bed, covered with a thin wool felt on it and covered with a military quilt, the same as the bedding of the soldiers in the army. But whoever married into the palace was not a lady Qianjin, but was kept like a baby at home. Not to mention their delicate bodies, they would feel uncomfortable even if they slept all night.

"No, if I sleep in such a bed, I have to sleep softly. So what if I go to the battle for a slept in the open, I must change it!" Zhao Bing turned over and got out of bed, shook his head and said.

"Official family, how can this make me? I just stay here for a month and endure it will pass!" Wang De quickly persuaded.

"Hmph, this rule has to be changed. We fled everywhere, but then we continued to fight. We still slept wherever we went, and we still had some comfort. We could lie down and sleep for a while and enjoy it. Will we move around when we go out in the future?" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Yes, I've written it down!" Wang De knew that he could not persuade him at this time, otherwise he would have to bring these things out with the little emperor's temper at the moment, so he could only agree first.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the queen's dowry!" Zhao Bing said after turning around, remembering what had just happened.

"Official family, the items have just been transported to the palace and have not been inspected yet. It is not too late to look at them after they have been placed." Wang De's face changed, thinking to himself why this child has not forgotten this code.

"I have time today, otherwise I may have one day." Zhao Bing felt that Wang De was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Wang De could only obey the order and lead him out, but he was uneasy.

"Scared, the Wu family is rich enough, and there are a lot of dowry!" At this time, all the items were moved into the hall, and they were placed in full bloom. Zhao Bing passed by, probably a hundred people. Liu Ling was directing the small yellow gate to place them in different categories, or temporarily put them away. He said excitedly.

"Yes, yes!" Wang De replied vaguely.

"What is this?" Zhao Bing walked closer and lifted a box and found that there were a few jade artifacts inside. He reached out to take out a jade bottle to play with, but the smile on his face soon disappeared, and he said with confusion.

"Yu Bottle!" Wang De replied.

"Barring, don't I know this is a jade bottle?" Zhao Bing cursed, "I'm asking where this bottle comes from?"

"The official family, how do you know about it? Let's ask the official family after the queen enters the palace!" Wang De said with a smile.

"A slut, this jade bottle is clearly a general in the palace. How could he be born into the Wu family?" Zhao Bing said sternly without any joke.

"This..." Wang De opened his mouth and grunted for a while without answering.

"What's going on? How did the Wu family get the imperial goods produced in the palace?" Zhao Bing saw this and knew that there must be a hidden secret. He opened several boxes in succession and found that the items, whether they were gold and silver, lacquer boxes, and accessories, were marked with imperial goods made in the palace. He said furiously.

"The official family is angry and wait for the young man to report!" Wang De knew that he could not hide it. The little emperor was best at machining and artifacts. He could tell at a glance how good the craftsman was. Even if he didn't use the imperial sign, he could tell.

"Speak quickly!" Zhao Bing said sternly.

"You go down first!" Wang De turned around and rushed to the eunuch in the hall. The palace maid waved his hand and asked them to retreat. After the palace was no one, he said, "The official family, in fact, the queen's dowry is all things in the palace, and it is also wealth from the inner palace..."

It turns out that the queen's dowry is not like ordinary families marrying their daughters, and the girl's dowry is purchased by the woman's family. The queen's dowry is uniformly organized by the court. After the dowry list is ruled, the queen's dowry is to be purchased. There are two ways to purchase the queen's dowry. The crown, hat, shoes, socks, and jewelry are prepared by introspectives, and handed over to the embroidery workshops, weaving workshops and craftsmen in the palace in Beijing; while other textiles, wood, leather, jade, pearls, etc. are prepared by the "foreign office", and the "foreign office" is divided into local institutions in various prefectures and prefectures for preparation.

Zhao Bing also understood why the court asked the Maritime Bureau to allocate silver. They were rich and set up in a prosperous place for commerce and buying and manufacturing. However, not all places were as rich as it was. The additional burden could only be digested by increasing taxes, which invisibly increased the burden on the people. Therefore, the queen's dowry was all prepared with the hard-earned money of the people, but it was not owned by the Wu family.

"What's wrong with the official family? Don't scare the young man!" After Wang De told the truth, he saw that the little emperor was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the corners of his mouth were trembling, which scared him. He hurriedly helped him sit down and said anxiously.

"This... I feel sorry!" Zhao Bing trembled for a long time before covering his heart and snored a few words.

"Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?" Wang De asked in a trembling voice as he touched the young emperor's hands, sweating all over, and he asked in a trembling voice. He knew that the young emperor had been worried about it because of the tight money. If he knew that not only would he have to pay for the marriage, he would have to pay the dowry, so he would be furious. Fortunately, he handed over the money raised to the warehouse and did not ask much, so he let the empress dowager worry. Now he happened to catch up with the defamation case. He went to the case every day, and the complaint did not disturb him, so as not to cause trouble again. Who would have thought that the dowry came to the palace today, and the little emperor came back early to catch up.

"No need, go and tell the Empress Dowager that I will not get married anymore. This money is enough for me to recover the military expenses of Lianghuai!" Zhao Bing sat on the box and took a few breaths, pointing at the boxes and said.

Although he did not inquire in detail, he still knew the approximate expenses. From the beginning of the name-question until the present period, he was rewarded continuously. The betrothal gifts that should be awarded were 2,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of silver, 3,000 pieces of silk, and 200 horses, gold, silver and wine utensils, jade wine utensils, tea utensils, jewelry and accessories, etc.; he also gave his father-in-law and mother-in-law a generous reward, 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 10,000 taels of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 10,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 10,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silver, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silver, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silver, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silver, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 20,000 pieces of silver, 200 pieces of silk, 200 pieces of gold, 2

These things alone cost more than one million guan. What does this mean? This money can buy 1.5 million shi of grain, and a 300,000 army will be rich for a year. Think about it, this dowry will only be more or less, and it will be used to make bullets and gunpowder, and it is enough to fight a big battle. If the whole wedding cost is enough to recover a war that has lost thousands of miles, it will be delayed by his own marriage. What is the difference between him and the old witch Cixi who has been scolded for a hundred years!

What made Zhao Bing even more angry was that he thought that with these dowry, he could at least get some money, and he would not lose too much. But when he learned that even the dowry was paid by himself, he didn't say that he was happy when he bit his dog's urine and soaked his wool. After getting a long time, he still made the wool on the sheep, but he lost his pocket but gave his parents a face. No matter how much he lost, he exchanged the wedding expenses for gold, it was enough to create a row of women made of gold. How much does it cost per pound of meat?
