Chapter 1857 The Marquis Is Not Stupid

The Dangjia Manor is naturally a good place with mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery and comfortable environment. The days of the Danghou Lord's retirement are very nourishing, drinking fine wine, drinking mountain springs, enjoying delicious food, occasionally having youthful madness, and being able to hold the sky. Going to hunt in Huangdi, more than half of Yangdi's territory is mountains and hills, and the remaining veins of Funiu Mountain are on the side, which is very convenient.

The Dangjia Manor covers a large area, covering hundreds of acres. Dangjin spent a lot of money at the beginning, and invited Zhang Yu, a famous architect in the capital, to come to help with the design.

Zhang Yu is not easy to invite. This is a good friend of the late Luan State Duke Murong Yanchao. He is the best at building among the many talents raised by Murong Yanchao. Zhang Yu was the main designer of the construction of Kaifeng New City. , and later became the guest of Liu Yun, who was still the Duke of Qi. Liu Yun, who had a wide range of interests, even treated him like a teacher and learned architectural aesthetics from him.

Zhang Yu refused Dangjin's invitation at the beginning, and this is not a person along the way.Although nicknamed "carpenter" by some people, Zhang Yu himself is a scribe with profound knowledge and a wide range of subjects, and he is especially fond of studying.

Of course, Dang Jin couldn't force Zhang Yu, after all, the other party's backer was really hard, and he was not able to force him. However, Dang Jin's face was thick enough, and he just went to visit every day. Zhang Yu was so annoyed that he simply asked Liu Yun, the Duke of Qi, to talk about something, and Zhang Yu only reluctantly agreed.

He also made a request that no gold, silver and treasures should be allowed, and that Dangjin should only complete the "Thousand-Character Essay". To this, Dangjin fully agreed, but after more than ten years, he still failed to complete this agreement.

Designed by Zhang Yu, employing thousands of people and spending huge sums of money, it took more than a year for the current Dangjia Manor to be completed.Dang Jin also has a special hobby. Although he often utters words that despise literati, he likes to be arty and has made many jokes.

After the manor was completed, some well-educated people were found to help him name it, but none of them satisfied Dang Jin.Therefore, Dangjin decided to come by himself. At the beginning, Yangdi belonged to the ancient Yuzhou, so he wanted to call it "Yu Garden".

As soon as this idea was proposed, it was immediately dissuaded. The reason was simple. Although the manor was magnificent, it still couldn't bear the name.Although Dangjin was dissatisfied, he still recognized it, and crossed the border by Yingshui, and wanted to call it "Yingyuan", but was discouraged, for the same reason.

So Lord Dang was annoyed, and decided to call it "Lanyuan", and this time no one was allowed to object.The water system in Yangdi is well developed. In addition to the main stream of Yingshui, there are dozens of large and small water veins. The Lan River is one of the larger ones, which is more than 300 miles long. Dang Jin often swims in the Lan River. Therefore, the name of the manor is taken from this water.

In the orchid garden, there are dozens of large and small buildings, more than two hundred houses, with high earth walls and surrounded by green water. It is more appropriate to say that it is a small castle.Among them, the most famous ones are more than a dozen large warehouses, which store a large amount of money, food, cloth and silk.

No one knows exactly how much wealth there is, but there are many rumors, only various grains, some say 20 shi, 30 shi, and of course there are exaggerated million shi
In the howling winter wind, the famous Orchid Garden ushered in a group of guests, a group of guests who didn't seem so friendly.Pan You, the chief minister of Gyeonggi Province, led his subordinate bureaucrats and servants to visit with great fanfare.

The team accompanied by Pan You this time was not small, there were more than two hundred bureaucrats and servants, there were many badges and flags, and the neighing of healthy horses seemed low and depressing in the cold wind.

Pan You rode his own horse and stood in front of the gate of Orchid Garden. Looking at the magnificent manor, his expression was a little dignified. Compared with his hidden aura, the men and horses he brought seemed to be less deterrent.In addition, Pan You seriously suspects that the party's progress in building this luxurious manor is suspected of overstepping the rules.
While pondering, the gate of Lanyuan opened wide, a group of people came out in a single file, and lined up in front, and the same Daosi team was in a confrontational situation. Although there were not many people, they were all tall horses, rebellious and unruly, with a faint intention of tit for tat.

Accompanied by several nephews, Lord Dang came out slowly, looking calm and calm. Dang Jin is indeed in a state of health, after all, he is nearly 60 years old, and his body is not as good as before. Zhao Kuangyin died of illness before , He cried a lot, which also hurt his body and mind.

However, in front of Pan You, he did not show any signs of twilight.Under the guard of the crowd, squinting at the scene outside the manor with a disdainful attitude, Dang Jin's eyes finally fell on Pan You, who was sitting on the horse, and sneered twice: "Pan Shijun is here to visit, it is too far to welcome! Such a big fight, so aggressive , what are you talking about?"

Pan You didn't get off his horse either, but also looked at Dang Jin, cupped his hands slightly, and said indifferently: "I heard that the Marquis of the Party is ill, and this envoy is here to visit!"

Hearing this, Dang Jin chuckled: "The old man is indeed ill. Mr. Pan put on a fight, could it be that he wants to scare the old man away from his illness?

It's a pity that the old man has a problem. Hearing the sound of horseshoes and seeing the flags fluttering, his energy doubles!This old man broke out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. This little battle can't scare people. The snakes and rats under your Gyeonggi Provincial Department are not in the eyes of this old man. These old soldiers under this old man can accompany you. Practice your hands! "

After the party spoke, the followers of the party family moved when they heard the sound, and they all clenched their weapons tightly, looking like they were ready to move.Except for a small number of young and strong, these followers are basically old and strong in their 50s and [-]s, and there are quite a few with gray beards. They are obviously old brothers who have followed the party through life and death. They all carried a bit of arrogance and disdain. They were obviously arrogant soldiers and warriors, and those on horseback even made a charging gesture.

Seeing this reaction, the servants of the Gyeonggi Province Division became nervous, as if they were facing a big enemy. As for the subordinates who came with Pan You, their expressions changed drastically, they were very surprised, and they all showed worry. This is not going to fight it.

The only one who didn't change his expression was Pan You. He sat silently on the horse and looked at Dang Jin. There was no fear in his eyes, and there was even a hint of anticipation.

The healthy horse snorted hotly, and its hooves kept slapping the ground, as if it was just waiting to vent the restlessness that permeated the cold wind.However, after observing Pan You for a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud and joked, "Is Mr. Pan expecting the old man to issue an order to clash with Dao Si's swordsmen?"

Dang Jin's performance immediately made Pan You frowned, and when he was about to speak, he saw Dang Jin chuckle: "I'm not old-fashioned!"

Pointing to the party servants around him, he said in a relaxed tone: "My old brothers are only used to guard the house and guard against the small ones. They dare not fight against the government. This old man has been loyal to the country all his life, and he has gone through life and death. This is against the imperial court. I won’t do things like this!”

"Isn't it just the land? Don't say that it is measured clearly, and taxes are paid according to the system. If your majesty wants it, you can just donate it all to the country, so why not?" Dang Jin looked at Pan You contemptuously, and said with a sneer: "It is The majestic Pan Shijun is obedient, if you are told to come, you will come."

When Dang Jin's words fell behind, Pan You's face could no longer be tense, his ugly face was cloudy and angry, and he finally saw that the gesture Dang Jin made before was just to give He Pan You was embarrassed.
