Chapter 256 Strict Housekeeper
Forget it, let’s tell the small kitchen to make more, you all have a taste. In addition, it’s been hot these days, cook more mung bean soup, and share it with all the servants in the palace. Then tell the Imperial Dining Room that it's hot, so make more cold drinks for the palace masters. "

Lin Xiang and the others laughed: "Yes, thank you, Ma'am."

They immediately went to spread the word everywhere, Jiang Ronghe rested for a while, then fell asleep on the small couch, Fu Shuang stayed by his side, quietly and did not disturb her.

Jiang Ronghe didn't wake up until the afternoon, and he woke up a little bit, leaning on the lead pillow to look through the ledger, and frowning as he looked at it.

"Go and call the eunuch in charge of procurement."

Lin Xiang immediately went to call for someone. As soon as the eunuch came in, Jiang Ronghe closed the account book, looked at him and asked, "An egg is fifty cents? Which imperial merchant bought this?"

The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "Yes, if you go back to your mother, the palace has always bought it at this price."

"An egg in the folk is only ten renminbi, and you bought five times more." She threw the account book over: "Eggs are the only item in the palace every month, and the cost is more than 1000 taels. How do you eat it?"

The eunuch choked for a moment, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Slave. Slave is just following the rules."

"What's the rule?" She asked: "There are only six masters in the palace, and they can eat more than 1000 taels of eggs every month? Tell me, how do you eat it? The imperial dining room will send a dish with eggs every other day." , How did you finish eating more than 1000 taels of eggs?"

The eunuch couldn't answer anymore.

When Shen Huaijiao and Xu Yan took care of the harem, how could they care about the purchase?It has always been the price quoted by the servants. Who would have nothing to do to calculate how much the palace can spend on eating eggs every month?
Jiang Ronghe said with a cold face: "A'nan, go and tell Hucao to seize the imperial merchants who supply the palace, and find out what prices they use to do things for the palace. When the emperor comes back, I will report to the emperor before making a decision. "

"Yes." Anan replied, and immediately brought the little eunuch in and took him down.

Lin Xiang scolded: "These people are really black-hearted. They really don't regard the money in the palace as money, but why didn't they find out before?"

"Do you expect the chief eunuch to save money for the emperor? Or do you expect Shen Huaijiao and Xu Yan to know how much an egg costs, like Shen Huaijiao and Xu Yan?" Jiang Ronghe smiled.

"They are rich in gold and jade, and they have lived a good life since they were young. I am afraid that they don't have much money in their hands. How do they know the market price outside?
Moreover, in their view, it is just a matter of a few eggs. In fact, there are many ways to do it, five times the price. kill them.

If I were an imperial merchant, then I would own land and raise chickens. Both chickens and eggs can be sent to the palace, and I can earn two for one dollar. .

The emperor was all about frugality, even though the previous court had spent more money, he never confiscated the harem, but if these rich people were left alone, it would be raising insects in rice vats and causing disaster for themselves. "

After Lin Xiang thought about it, he felt that what he said made sense: "Both sides take money, no wonder everyone said that the procurement in the palace is a fat job, it doesn't matter and you can't sit in that position."
