The idea of ​​helping the emperor manage Jianzhang Palace is actually not rigorous.

Shanglin Garden is not simple, and Jianzhang Palace is also not a simple entertainment place.

Under normal circumstances, rather than helping Liu Hong manage Jianzhang Palace, it would be more appropriate to say that he helped the Queen manage Jianzhang Palace.

Of course, many normal situations cannot be treated normally by Liu Hong.

After getting to know the general situation of the people in Jianzhang Palace through Mu Qi, he asked these palace people to identify the new members of the Shanglin Yuanling team. At the same time, Liu Cang also assigned tasks to the accompanying people.

Mu Qi managed the eunuchs and eunuchs of Jianzhang Palace, and Bian led the women to supervise the maids. As for the guards, Pan Feng and Liu Yuanyi were temporarily in charge of the officials in groups.

There was no need for Liu Cang to exchange greetings with these palace people. He let the palace people disperse and go back to their duties. Mu Qi also directed Liu Cang to inspect the various palaces in Jianzhang Palace and gave Liu Cang a detailed introduction to the situation of Shanglin Garden.

The Grape Palace is surrounded by low walls, and cultivated land is reclaimed near the mountains to plant grapes from the Western Regions.

Fuli Palace is like a masonry greenhouse, with a built-in furnace, a rolling cart to divert water, and even a blower driven by animal power. The temperature inside the palace can be controlled, and southern flowers and fruits can be planted.

The Silkworm House raises silkworms to obtain silk, the Mulberry House manufactures silk, the leather shop processes animal skins, and the Yulou stores animal teeth and arrows.

Unlike later generations of emperors who seemed to have to buy everything from outside, in the Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden near the imperial city was enough for the royal family to enjoy everything from the world.

Silk and silk products produced in Silkuan and Mulberry Hall were enough to supply the royal family, and even accounted for a large share of Liu Hong's rewards for officials.

Most of the judgments of later generations on Shanglin Garden were extravagant and mediocre, but to be honest, that kind of evaluation was actually a bit extreme and one-sided. I don’t want to dwell on the details here.

As for the silkworm temple and mulberry pavilion, they were normally managed by the queen. Liu Cang probably understood why Liu Hong wanted him to be a female official in Linyuan.

This guy wants to compete with his mother-in-law for business? Liu Cang has a hard time understanding Liu Hong's mentality.

In addition to those palaces for production and planting, Jianzhang Palace also has many entertainment venues.

The flat ground is paved with coarse sand, resembling a beach, and can be used as a place for martial arts wrestling.

The echo wall in Xuanqu Palace is a place for singing and dancing.

The horse racing temple has been abandoned and the racecourse has been moved away. Liu Hong does not like horse racing, but prefers walking donkeys.

Dog palace fighting dogs have not been bred for many years because the Queen Mother does not like them.

The white deer in Bailu Temple looked rare, but the quality was mediocre and Liu Cang was not interested.

Various fruit trees are planted at the observatory, among which the five elephants Liu Cang are rare.

It's a pity not to mention that the five animals in captivity cannot be moved. As Mu Qi said, there are twenty-three elephants in Shanglin Garden, living in wild groups, and the number is checked three times a year.

The reason why Zhang Rang said earlier that he could not pass Liu Hong's test if he brought elephants from the south was that if he brought elephants from the south, they would be filled by Liu Hong in Shanglin Garden.

Later generations said that a certain emperor liked to do something and the leopard room was beaten to death, but to be honest, compared with the Han emperor, those guys in later generations were simply weak.

Cubs were raised in the Theater of Animals. Wolves, bears, tigers, leopards, and even lions were kept in captivity here. Most of the ferocious beasts that could be tamed here were the cubs that the emperor and his ministers searched for when hunting in the Shanglin Garden.

After they are raised to a certain size, if they are not put into Shanglin Garden, they will be slaughtered and sent to the palace kitchen.

In which palace the concubines would live, in which palace the Queen Mother would like to stay, in which palace the Prince would study, and in which palace the Queen should be treated with caution.

After Mu Qi explained them one by one, Liu Cang finally understood the layout of Jianzhang Palace.

And outside Jianzhang Palace.

To the southwest of Shanglinyuan, close to the Funiu Mountains, there are places where elephants and rhinos usually hang out. Without His Majesty's permission, hunting is prohibited.

To the north, there are unicorns, camels, and elk herds in the plains at the eastern foot of the Qinling Mountains. Shanglin Garden needs to provide the palace with more than 10,000 wild deer every year for food in the palace, and His Majesty will also reward the courtiers.

There are many bears and animals in Xiong'er Mountain. You can encounter apes and pythons in the forest. Tigers and leopards are hidden in the mountains, so it is difficult to determine their activity range.

If you encounter a pack of wolves, you need to mobilize troops to hunt and disperse them. For wild wolves, the villagers in Shanglin Garden can also hunt and eat them.

As Mu Qi explained the situation outside Jianzhang's palace, Liu Cang's originally lazy eyes became a little more lively.

There are many ferocious and harmful beasts in Shanglin Garden, and Liu Hong's treasures are only some rare animals that are rare in the Central Plains.

As the order of Shanglinyuan, it shouldn’t be too much to kill some harmful animals for food, right?

The animal Liu Cang in Shanglin Garden cannot be bred, but it is no problem if it is taken out of the Shanglin Garden. It can also be brought back as a breeding target. As long as Liu Hong does not ask for it, it can still produce spiritual essence.

It was a place with few human beings and many animals. Compared to the Jianzhang Palace where Lao Shenzi was managed, the animals here were more attractive to Liu Cang.

Jianzhang Palace has Yusu Garden, which is the residence of the palace residents and the place where Liu Cang and his party of Shanglinyuan officials stayed.

Yusu Garden is regarded as the official residence of Shanglin Garden. This garden occupies a large area. It is not specially built for Shanglin Garden, but more like a dormitory.

The whole garden is divided into three parts, one for the palace maids and one for the eunuchs. They enter through side doors from the west and are the residences of the palace residents.

Entering the Shanglinyuan official office from the main entrance on the east side, there is a government office, two side rooms, and a prison. The rest are all wing rooms of the same style, which are also a place for Liu Cang and his party to rest.

After several sleepless nights, Liu Cang only became familiar with everything in Jianzhang Palace in a few days.

There are hundreds of animals raised in Shanglin Garden, which covers an area equivalent to a county, but there are less than 20 ordinary villages and only 20,000 households.

There are all kinds of natural forms in it, including birds and beasts, all kinds of things that should be there and some things that should not be there, including some things that Liu Cang couldn't even figure out what they were based on their names.

Liu Cang was the magistrate of Shanglin Garden and held the title of prince and king. In addition, there was Zhang Rang standing behind him. There were few people in Shanglin Garden who dared to disrespect him.

It's respectful to be respectful, but there are many eyes and ears in Jianzhang Palace. Liu Cang wanted to ignore them, but obviously, it was difficult for him to live comfortably with these gossips who were used to the intrigues in the palace.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and have many reading sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Tossing and turning at night, I wanted to get more benefits from Shanglin Garden, so it was inevitable to coax Liu Hong.

But every time he thought of coaxing Liu Hong, Liu Cang would inevitably snap at him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Cang has not even left Jianzhang Palace in the past few days, so he has made the situation of Jianzhang Palace clear. And Liu Cang has basically confirmed that to coax Liu Hong, he will antagonize the queen.

, I have to say that there is really something wrong with Liu Hong.

By the way, in this day and age, women supporting the family is no joke.

If there is private property in the home, under normal circumstances, men usually do not care about the property in the home. Most of the household management, including making money and running the business, is arranged by women.

And this is even more true for a queen who is the mother of a country. The saying in later generations that she is "responsible for being as beautiful as a flower" is simply nonsense. If you can't make money, you can't afford the food and clothing of the harem, you're just a shitty queen.

The current Queen He Lian is responsible for the life of the entire harem through family support, and even supports Liu Hong in all aspects of food, drink and entertainment. In the palace, there are many eunuchs who work with her.

So she is a queen, her family is in power, and she can kill any of the emperor's concubines if she doesn't like them. She can make money without having to deal with the royal family's private property, so you can tell her whether she is fierce or not?

This is not what the girls of later generations take for granted. They are as beautiful as flowers and can show off their coquettishness. Nor is it the emperor's pampering that can make all the difference.

It doesn't matter whether you dote on her or not, everyone is a queen. If they say they want to kill your sweetheart, they will kill your sweetheart.

The queen takes care of the royal family's property so that the harem can be deprived of food, and the servants of the young master must also show sufficient respect to the queen.

If the emperor is capable and does not want to change the queen, he will usually have to live a miserable life for three to five years. When the new queen can straighten out the royal industry and start making normal revenue, then everything will be fine.

If the emperor is incompetent, he will blindly change the queen. Haha, at least the royal family is in turmoil, and at worst the emperor ascends to heaven, it is so simple and crude. Otherwise, why do you think she is called a queen?

It’s hard to say whether Liu Hong is capable, but he obviously doesn’t want to live a miserable life.

He didn't dare to mess with the queen, but Liu Hong had a very strange obsession with property.

Just like the Jianzhang Palace, it should normally be managed by the queen. Liu Hong only needs to come here to relax and get all kinds of necessities.

But obviously, Liu Hong is so non-mainstream.

No, Jianzhang Palace produces rich products, among which are royal properties that are supposed to be supervised by the queen and supply royal expenses. Liu Hong seems to feel more comfortable if he can control it himself.
