Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

"Hahahaha, it made me laugh so hard. They were still thinking of playing Tai Chi with His Highness. Who would have thought that His Highness would immediately cut the firewood, check the account books first, and then seal the warehouse, which caught them off guard!"

Xie Lexian laughed loudly.

Zhong Zhou was also cheerful.

"Your Highness can be said to have achieved a great victory this time. With this account book, we have already uncovered a lot of moths."

"It's a pity that we can't do anything about the biggest borer."

Liu Bohong sighed softly.

Cen Mingche smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay. Father's decree is to reprimand Zhen Yingjia, take away her official position, and make her reflect at home."

"The Zhen family should be able to live with their tail between their legs for quite some time."

Liu Bohong thought of something.

"Your Highness, something happened in Yangzhou, are you going to Jinling?"

"good."

"I remember that when His Majesty visited the south of the Yangtze River, the Zhen family built a garden for His Majesty in Jinling."

Zhong Zhou slapped his hands.

"I remembered that my father told me that the garden was particularly artistic and so on."

Xie Lexian nodded.

"It seems that His Majesty has given permission for the Zhen family to live in the garden?"

"Yes, because these places have not been inhabited for a long time, and when they lose their popularity, they deteriorate very quickly. Therefore, His Majesty has allowed the Zhen family to live in the garden and be responsible for its care and maintenance."

"Then, when we go to Jinling this time, should we also stay there?"

Xie Lexian blinked.

"After all, His Majesty asked our Highness to see the places he has been to..."

The four looked at each other.

Okay, I just offended someone completely, and I'm about to live in someone else's house again.

How about being so sarcastic?

Zhong Zhou slapped his thigh.

"Hey! What are you afraid of? What can the Zhen family do to our Highness? The distinction between monarch and minister is no joke."

"Exactly!"

"Well said."

After all, Cen Mingche had bared his fangs and made these local officials and wealthy people in Jiangnan realize that he was not a child who could be fooled at will, but the brave and resourceful third prince of Dagan, Prince Yi.

Cen Mingche himself only inspected a few salt merchants, but the account books of collusion between officials and businessmen, as well as evidence of collusion between certain officials and the Zhen family, were all handed over to the emperor.

It can be seen that in the near future, the Jiangnan area will probably undergo a major blood change.

Those who have made mistakes must be in panic all day long, trying every possible means to keep their official positions——

There are still some people who should be thinking about how to save their heads.

So it is conceivable that their attitude towards Cen Mingche should be respectful, even fearful.

The only thing he has to worry about is whether those who want to take advantage of others will come up with some crooked ways, such as giving money and women, which will cause trouble for him.

"Your Highness doesn't need that money now, let alone those women - but what if they send antique paintings and calligraphy or something like that?"

"Then I will keep it and present it to my father when I return to the capital."

"...Your Highness, this move of yours is really damaging."

"That's right, if you do this, no one will dare to give you gifts in the future."

"I can't wait to do it. Everyone doesn't do their job properly and thinks about these crooked things all day long."

"Your Highness is upright, I admire you."

Zhong Zhou bowed in an exaggerated manner, and everyone burst into laughter.

After dealing with matters in Yangzhou, the remaining time is just for sightseeing.

Not to mention, the lakes, mountains, pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River are really refreshing under the bright spring light.

We traveled all the way to Jinling, and before we even got off the boat, we saw a group of people at the pier, all local officials from Jinling, waiting to greet Cen Mingche.

"Join His Majesty the County Prince."

"Retire without courtesy."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries again.

Zhen Yingjia should have been among the people who greeted him. After all, he was from Jiangnan Weaving and a confidant of the emperor.

But just not long ago, Cen Mingche personally took him down, and now he wants to live in the garden that his family looks after.

This scene is very embarrassing.

But these officials are all experienced. No matter how embarrassed they are, they will not show it on their faces. Everyone is smiling along the way.

When they arrived at Zhen's house, everyone in the Zhen family was already waiting in front of the door.

No matter what I think in my heart, my face is always beaming with joy.

The next step is to hold a banquet, which can be regarded as a welcome banquet.

This is the most luxurious banquet that Cen Mingche has seen since he came to Jiangnan.

Everyone has a separate meal system, that is, each person has a small table and sits separately. In the middle is a performance venue, singing, dancing, and opera, etc., it is lively.

First of all, the person who served the food stretched his voice and shouted——

"Look at the three dishes presented——"

There were two rows of maids in pink clothes, holding plates and placing them on the table one after another.

After tea time, the two groups of maids came again and took away the plates one by one.

Repeat this three times.

What are the things that come up every time?Fruit carvings and dough sculptures.

The first plate is "Prosperity and Peace".

The second plate is "a cluster of flowers".

The third set is about "Thousands of Miles of Country".

These three dishes are called watching dishes.

What do you mean?

As the name suggests, it is for you to see, not to eat.

Ornamental one-time crafts.

Still three sets per person.

After three plates of food were served, there was another long shout.

"Sign it——"

What is this sign?

It's all kinds of side dishes.

There are all kinds of pickles, kimchi, candied fruits, pickles, salty, sour and sweet, a total of more than ten dishes.

After taking a few bites, the waiter yelled again.

"The first lot has been presented, let's serve the cold dishes——"

Then there were eighteen plates of vegetarian cold dishes, followed by eighteen plates of meat and cold dishes.They are all served on small plates, enough for two or three bites.

There are a variety of vegetarian dishes, many of which Cen Mingche has never even seen.

Meat dishes include beef, mutton, venison, donkey, chicken, duck, fish, and river seafood, but there is no pork.

After eating a few bites, I took it down and then served porridge and water.

There are 24 bowls of porridge per person, and each bowl is different.

There are 24 small flowered porcelain bowls as big as a palm, all served neatly.

Millet porridge, white porridge, pumpkin porridge, eight-treasure porridge, preserved egg, lean meat porridge, seafood porridge... there are all kinds of sweet and salty ones.

If you want to eat a bowl, just look at it and there will be a maid serving you, holding a spoon to your mouth.

The porridge is gone and the wine is served.

This wine is all made by the Zhen family themselves. There are 24 kinds in total, eight kinds of red wine, eight kinds of white wine, and eight kinds of yellow wine.

Each wine also has to be paired with a different glass.

For red wine alone, there are eight different types of cups, including crystal cups, colored glass cups, and white jade cups.

There are also bronze wine glasses that go with the liquor. Several of them look like antiques.

Everyone picks up the wine they like and keeps it, while the rest is taken away.

Then the hot dishes are served.

Eighteen plates of hot dishes were served at a time, four rounds in total.

While eating, someone introduced how the dish was made, what ingredients were used, and how long it took.

Just talking about a winter melon cup, in addition to choosing winter melon carvings, the soup base must be old chickens and ducks that are more than three years old. Each cup of soup must be cooked separately, and three bowls must be boiled to make one bowl. Scallops, scallops, etc. must also be placed in it. Freshen up...

Even the seasoning is not salt, but the juice steamed from Jinhua ham.

Cen Mingche's eyes were opened this time.

Such extravagant spending has never been seen before, even in the imperial city.
