Race to the
Throne
Chapter 9: Letter
A month has passed by since Hao Jiazhi's plan has started
"This is the collection of one month" Meng Bai said as he puts down a mall square box on the study table of Hao Jiazhi
(Hao Jiahi's mansion is small, so there is no guest are. Actually, rather than saying mansion, we should say it is a small house)
Han Yachun opened the small square box and inside, there were total of 6 pouches and inside these pouches were money
2,000 in each pouch
Hao Jiazhi counted the money and it was full 12,000 ban liang
"hmm…
Here is 2,400 ban liang, distribute 800 among you, Fu Yu and Mao Xue
Also, take these 6,000 ban liang and distribute 200 in each person working for you 3" Hao Jiazhi said as he hands out a big share of money to Meng Bai
8400 – 12000 = 3600 ban liang
The amount of money remaining with Hao Jiazhi may seem quite low but it is only the beginning so he is happy with this much
After handling money issues, Hao Jiazhi started talking about the next step
"Make sure to keep the money flowing and just bring my share after cutting all expenses
Also, now that we have a proper source of money, start training all those people who are working for us and also try to find someone who excels in the field of administration (and information collection)
You have time till New Year
You can leave now" Hao Jiazhi said as he stands up and leaves the room
Meng Bai bowed his head and then leaves the place
Hao Jiazhi clearly knows that there will come a time when his small organization will fight some people, they could be anyone
And right now, they only have a numbers and small amount of weapon
Which is useless if they ever come across someone who is really good at fighting or martial arts to be particular
This is not earth where numbers will give them an advantage
Here, a martial artist could fly in the sky as he used to see in those dramas, and also these martial artists are fucking too strong
He needs a good amount of manpower if he ever wants to fight a martial artist
So, for this very reason, he wants his gang to be really strong and now Hao Jiazhi will also stop moving around much as he will start taking some martial arts training from someone who is well experienced
After all, the Main Boss should never be weak, or else his own people will try to throw him out of his throne
Hao Jiazhi don't want to make mistakes that he did in his past life, thus he starts his training
3 months passed by-
New Year is here and Hao Jiazhi has completed his basic training in Martial Arts
The training of martial arts seems to be much harder than Hao Jiazhi has asked for; it's really tough as he had only completed the basic so far
"Being young is sure a gift in its own" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks himself in the mirror and then steps out of his room
It's new year time and also the season of winter
Snow could be seen around the yard/garden of Hao Jiazhi's house
In these 3 months, few things have changed
Hao Jiazhi has fired all old maids/servants and hired new maids or more particularly, he hired those maids that were selected by Zheng Zhen
Zheng Zhen is the 5th shadow and the head of the administration department
According to him, these new maids are much better and well tamed as their family is in Jinyi. So if there is any mistake committed by these maids, they will have a very bad future
Not just them but their family also
This makes it easy to control them, rather than having people who we don't know
Thus, Hao Jiazhi hired those maids
As for how Zheng Zhen was selected,
It was done by Meng Bai personally when he was testing the skills of all men working under him and other 2
He is really good in the field of administration, but not so good in the field of collecting information. But he will understand things and improver more and more in the future
Zheng Zhen has made a visit to Hao Jiazhi in past, so there is nothing to worry much
There are now a total of 6 new maids that are paid by Hao Jiazhi personally, not by the Imperial palace or central government as they only pay those servants that are hired by them
By firing all old servants, Hao Jiazhi had cut his all ties with the central government and there is no room for any spies in his house
It's almost because Hao Jiazhi still have guards by his side and because this property is owned by the royal family, these guards are also paid by them
No doubt, these guards are loyal to him and he also pays them money but if he really wants them to cut their ties with the central government, he has to shift to other place and then make them leave their old position
But right now he doesn't have the money to do so, so he will just stick with things like this. At least he has new maids
The amount of money he has right now is around 20,000 ban liang
Today, there is a special guest who has come to his house
It's a middle-aged man with golden-colored armors around him; surely he is from the central government
The man handed a small letter to Han Yachun and then left the place without wasting any time to enter the mansion
His attitude clearly showed that he doesn't give a shit about Hao Jiazhi, something Hao Jiazhi don't like it but didn't bother about it much
In the letter-
"Your birthday is coming,
Come visit your mother's palace, as you will now finally be in-line for the throne of the emperor
You Mother"
'Ahhh, OK…. So it is from my new mother huh?' Hao Jiazhi said in his mind as he looked at the letter
It was short and to the point with no extra stuff or any unnecessary thing
It was like, someone is ordering him to come here which somewhat made Hao Jiazhi giggle a bit
"Seems like this new year will be full of work" Hao Jiazhi said as he looks around

Race to the
Throne
Chapter 10: Re-Union
Hao Jiazhi was quite taken aback by the letter sent by his mother's, but he didn't hurry to meet her as he had some stuff to handle
His biggest problem is how the hell will he control his organization if he is far away, as the capital city is one whole day far
And if something happens, how will he contact them?
Thus he started looking at the sources through which he could chat with his team in real-time, which is impossible
And after a day or two, he finally found out the way he can communicate with his team.
Old school method, birds
Through birds, any bird, he can contact his team
Sounds simple right?
But wait for a second, these birds are not normal birds but rather well trained one so they know what or where they have to deliver the message
And the bird he chose to deliver the message is Crow
It was a weird request but it seems like the merchants have every type of birds with him
After some thought, Hao Jiazhi finally made up his mind to buy 3 eagles and 2 crows
3 eagles will be used to communicate between him and his little gang
2 crows will be used to communicate between him and Han Yachun as he won't be taking her with him
She will be staying behind and guiding his gang as per his instructions
As for the cost, each bird costs 2,000 ban Liang a total of 10,000 ban liang
With everything done, all he needed now was to show these birds his home and other places
Which took around a week time as this bird sometimes didn't reach the place in time; it needed some time to train birds a little bit about a different place
It was something like this,
If the message had to be delivered to Han Yachun, the letter is put on the right leg
If the message had to be delivered to 5 shadows, the letter was put on its left leg
After the training of birds were done, a few times it was tested and when everything became perfect
Hao Jiazhi planned to leave for the capital city as there will be a carriage coming for him to pick him up
Huangyi, Capital City of Kingdom Jinmen-
Outer Palace area, a place where Emperor's harem and other concubine lives
Also, the place where Hao Jiazhi's mother lives in her own mansion
"Queen Song Xia, prince Hao Jiazhi has taken the carriage and will be here next morning"
A man said as he bowed to a middle-aged female who was in a red Hanfu dress, sitting on a large sofa
"Great work, Tian Yun
Also, tell your men to stay vigilant around my son. He has finally taken his life seriously; I don't want him to face any trouble for the time being" Song Xia, mother of Hao Jiazhi said to her royal attendant, Tian Yun
Tian Yun bowed and then left the place
Song Xia looked at the ceiling of her room and said "Finally, my son has become serious about his life and royal position"
Next day-
In this world, the winter season lasts only a month or so
Thus, the roads are not filled with snow anymore, and spring come when Hao Jiazhi left his house
"Prince Hao Jiazhi, we have reached the imperial/capital city" the coachmen said to Hao Jiazhi
"Ok" Hao Jiazhi replied and looked outside the window
And there he saw a very bustling city with humans everywhere
The city population is quite high so the roads are quite congested
Seeing this congested road and people everywhere Hao Jiazhi remembers his city life back on earth
"Feels like I am home…" Hao Jiazhi said as he looked around
After a few hours of ride, Hao Jiazhi finally reached the outer palace area where his mother is
The outer palace area is a little bit away from the imperial palace
"We have reached our destination" the coachmen said as he stops his horse
Hao Jiazhi, said "Okay" and then steps out
The moment he steps out, he saw a big mansion at his left side and at the entrance of the mansion, and there were various maids and other servants with a big smile
"Welcome back, Young Prince" All maids and servants said to him and then took him inside
'Not bad' Hao Jiazhi said as he enjoyed this service
He followed the maid and reached a big room/hall
His stuff is delivered to his room by other servants including his pet bird
In the hall, stood a female who is in her 40's sitting on a cushion as she takes a sip from her teacup
She is charming
But Hao Jiazhi was not interested in her charm or beauty as he had looked inside the memory of old Hao Jiazhi and this person is his mother
"Welcome back, my son" Song Xia said with a smile
"Yeah, I am back" Hao Jiazhi replied with a small smile
"Come, have a seat with your mother, and let us have a good long chat" Song Xia said to her son with a very warm smile
Hao Jiazhi nodded and sat beside her
