Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 596: Too Poor to Have Money Left (Part [-])
Chapter 10 I'm so poor that I only have money left

Holding a basin of water, He Yue'er went straight in with four beautiful maidservants in palace costumes carrying toiletries: "Yue'er serves the princess and son-in-law to wash up!"

Chen Ying was caught off guard, he was still naked at this time, and Li Xiuning rolled up the quilt again, even if he wanted to cover it up, he couldn't find anything for a while.

Chen Ying said with a guilty conscience: "Go out first!"

However, He Yue'er remained motionless, not even looking at Chen Ying.

Li Xiuning waved her hands and said, "Go out!"

Being disturbed by He Yue'er and the four beautiful maidservants in palace attire, Chen Ying was like a pot of cold water being poured on her, and she withered instantly.Chen Ying complained a little depressed: "Look, what is this called!"

"Normal things, normal heart!" Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "The five of them are all your concubines, how are you satisfied?"

Chen Ying didn't know why and asked: "What concubine Teng?"

"Pretending to be ignorant!" Li Xiuning rolled her eyes at Chen Ying and said, "According to the rules, you are the Duke of the state, and you can have one wife and eight children. Counting Yueer, I will find five for you. You can find the other three by yourself." !"

Teng concubine is generally a woman who is married to her husband's family together with her main wife. The higher-level concubine is this kind of sister-in-law who marries together; It is the maid dowry.

The former who married in this way is the wife, and the latter is the concubine Teng.

The status of concubine Teng is much higher than that of concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets and so on.Such a system was very popular among nobles from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms period. For example, Sun Quan's mother married her father Sun Jian together with her younger sister.From a political point of view, this system maximizes the interests of the married woman.

If the woman who is the main wife dies or has no children, concubine Teng will take her place. The close relationship between concubine Teng and the "natal family" can still guarantee the interests of the "natal family".

It might be cruel to say that, but it's true...

As he spoke, Li Xiuning waved his hand, and four beauties in palace costumes entered one by one.

From Chen Ying's point of view, these four beauties are all beauties with a score of 95 or above, and their bodies and appearances are impeccable.

Chen Ying smiled wryly, "Can I not?"

"No!" Li Xiuning said solemnly: "You are too powerful, I can't stand up, we sisters are of the same heart, so we have to work together!"

Chen Ying had no choice but to wash and change clothes under the service of four beauties in palace costumes.

Chen Ying felt infinite emotion in his heart: "Ancient times, it's so damn good!"

Chen Ying said half-heartedly, "So as I wish, I dare not ask."

Chen Ying turned to He Yue'er again and said: "Yue'er, thank you, go find the steward of the mansion and have breakfast together, I still have some things to order."

In the family of a wealthy gentry, where wives and concubines sit at different tables, Chen Ying doesn't pay much attention.Because of Li Xiuning's relationship with leading soldiers, she doesn't have much taboo against this concept.

Just when Li Xiuning was about to get up and walk out of the new house, He Yueer winked at Li Xiuning.

It took Li Xiuning a long time before she realized it.

On the bed sheet, yesterday's wet liquid has dried up, but the blood stains are as red as plum blossoms reflected on the bed sheet.

It was only then that Li Xiuning remembered that on the wedding night, she should put a snow-white silk scarf or sweat scarf under her body to prove Yuanhong. This scarf will be regarded as the most commemorative by women and hidden at the bottom of the box. He couldn't remember it at all. In this episode, Li Xiuning was nervous and forgot this crucial link, no wonder she was so angry.

Chen Ying laughed and said, "You just cut a piece of the bed sheet."

At noon on the second day of the wedding, there was a banquet to thank the loved ones, so Chen Ying should not neglect, but Xu Jingzong in the outer court was making arrangements, so naturally he would not neglect the guests.

Chen Ying summoned Lan'er, Hongxiu, Lvzhu, and sisters Gao Wenjin and Gao Wenxiu, the management maids of the mansion.

Chen Ying is Liang Guogong at this time, and according to the ninth-rank official law, Chen Ying should be of the second-rank family.However, the Chen House is very simple, Xu Erniang is a concubine, and Xu Erniang is in charge of the accounts, while Lan'er is in charge of the keys to the treasury.

In the past, Chen Ying was not married, Lan'er and Xu Erniang were in charge of his inner courtyard warehouse, no one would say anything.But he is married, and it is his wife's right to control the accounts of the inner government, and it is not easy for Chen Ying to do it for him.

Chen Ying's original internal account only included his salary income, but now Chen Ying's official position is the guest of the third-rank prince, plus the champion general of the third rank, Shangshu Youpushe of Shandong Daoxingtai, according to the salary distribution standard of the Tang Dynasty.

Every year, there are 38 stones of Lumi, [-] hectares of land, [-] handymen, and [-] plates of daily food ([-] liters of fine rice, [-] liters of japonica rice, [-] liters of noodles, [-] liters of noodles, [-] and a half liters of wine, and [-] parts of mutton. , four combinations of sauce, four combinations of vinegar, three melons, salt, soy sauce, green onion, ginger, sunflower, leek and the like; catty), about [-] Wen per month;
You can enjoy a free working lunch every day. Every year during the winter solstice of the Yuan Dynasty, five pieces of silk, gold and silverware, and various colors (including wives) will be given to each. Accessories); upon the death of myself, grandparents, or parents, 60 people in the tomb camp will be served for ten days, and all the utensils needed for funerals will be allocated according to the grade, and one hundred pieces of silk, cloth, cotton, etc., and one hundred stones will be presented.In special cases, there are rewards.General officials are evaluated every three years, and those with outstanding performance can get an increase in salary, otherwise, the salary can be deducted.

In fact, with Chen Ying's salary income, the Chen family can't even use half of it.In fact, this is only a fraction of Chen Ying's income. The most important part is the income from his various workshops, shops, and banks.

As husband and wife are one, there is no need for Chen Ying to manage the accounts by himself.As a good man in the new era, handing over the economic power of the family to his wife is also a manifestation of loving his wife.

Li Xiuning didn't know if he didn't take over Chen Ying's finances, but he was taken aback when he took over.

In particular, Ma Zhou reported to Li Xiuning the income and expenditure of the bank, which was in surplus for one year.

Li Xiuning was stunned when she learned that Chen Ying's bank had a surplus of one hundred thousand guan a year.

She knew that Chen Ying was rich, but she didn't expect Chen Ying to be so rich.

Datang’s treasury revenue is not enough to spend at all, except for military expenditures, only officials’ salaries are left to be distributed, but official salaries have been distributed since the day Datang was established, and Datang has not passed it in time, and even Chen Ying still owes [-] The usual salary has not been paid yet.

For the whole year of the second year of Wude, Datang’s financial revenue was about 380 million guan, which was the total income of 170 seven prefectures of Datang Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Jiannan Road, Hedong Road, and Shandong Road. On average, one The state's income is less than [-] guan.

And the income of Chen Ying Bank is actually equivalent to the income of the five states of Datang.

Regarding Li Xiuning's shock, Chen Ying said, where did it go?
Chen Ying is now so poor that he only has money left.

Then Xu Jingzong reported to Li Xiuninghui: "His Royal Highness, Chen Ji Chefang built a total of 27 carriages in the first half of the year, with a total surplus of 19 units!"

"Tiefang produced a total of 350 million jin of steel, with a surplus of 35 guan!"

"Wait, one hundred thousand guan, plus 19 guan, plus 35 guan! How much is this?" Li Xiuning suddenly felt that her brain was not enough.
