Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 109 Accounting
When Si Nufang sent people to the palace, Jiang Changning was reading a story book and eating the cakes made by Mrs. Cui for her.

"Princess, Si Nufang sent over twenty servants." Shu Fei came in to report.

Jiang Changning frowned, "I didn't ask Chunlai to ask for another servant?"

There are too many servants in the palace, and there are more than a thousand of them on the list, and this is not counting the prince's personal soldiers, the guard of honor of the concubine, her, and Princess Kangren.

But how many masters are there in the palace?

This is no longer taking eight steps in one step, but almost eighty steps in one step.

Jiang Changning intended to reduce the number of personnel in the palace, so after sending them back to Si Nufang, he did not ask for any more servants.

The people from Si Nufang took the initiative to send the servants here, presumably to please King Jin, Jiang Changning didn't think much about it.

"Give a red envelope to each of the servants who sent people here, thank them, and be polite, just say that it's hard work for them to go this way, and the servants won't stay, let them take it back."

Shu Fei went out and followed Jiang Changning's orders.

Prince Jin's mansion didn't keep anyone, and the senior servants didn't explain it, so they tried to keep him. Those servants took the red envelopes and took the twenty or so servants back to Sinufang.

The waiter knew that the servant was not sent to the Prince Jin's mansion, and wanted to hide it, but he was afraid that the emperor would ask about Princess Jin's situation in the future, and he would not be able to answer, so he had to tell the emperor about it.

After hearing this, the emperor was so angry that he threw Yu Ruyi out, "Is she so unwilling to accept my kindness?"

Yu Ruyi fell on the gold brick and broke into two pieces.

Seeing the furious emperor, the waiter hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The county master of Chun'an doesn't know that there are people who the emperor arranged to protect her. It's not that she doesn't accept your majesty's kindness."

Upon hearing this, the emperor found the words to be correct, and sat back on the throne, "How can I meet the county master of Chun'an?"

Jiang Changning's resistance made the emperor more interested in her.

"Your Majesty, in mourning the concubine's death, the Lord of Chun'an County will thank the guests behind closed doors for three months. After three months, His Majesty can ask the Empress Dowager to summon the Lord to enter the palace. At that time, His Majesty will be able to kiss Fangze."

The emperor smiled and leaned back on the throne, "I will wait another three months."

He is not impatient with the people and things he is determined to win.

Jiang Changning, who was missed by the emperor, was looking at the account books compiled by Fangju, and his face became more and more ugly the more he looked at it.

Qiao's is really full of private pockets. She has managed the palace for so many years, and she has added a lot of private property to herself.

There is one Zhuangzi outside the city, and there are [-] mu of good farmland alone.

In a county not far from the capital, two Zhuangzi were established, each with [-] mu of fertile land.

There are shops in several streets in Beijing, not just one.

Qiao's also opened two restaurants, which made a lot of money.

In the three silver villages in the city, Qiao's has deposited silver. Fang Ju asked Shu Fei to check the exact amount.

"What a big mouse!" Jiang Changning sneered.

"Princess, this is the dowry list for the mourning concubine to marry into the palace." Fang Ju paused, "It's less than 3 taels of silver."

"The Qiao family's family background is not rich, and it is the limit to prepare more than 2 dowry for her." Jiang Changning took the list and looked at it casually. There really were not many good things.

"You take someone to count things out, open a small yard, seal up the things, and hand over the list to Kang Ren." Jiang Changning will not be greedy for Qiao's things.

However, after Qiao's marriage into the palace, Jiang Changning had to ask the Queen of Jin to give some of the private property acquired after she married into the palace, and give it to Princess Kangren. It is impossible to give them all.

Shu Fei asked people to check for two days before finding out how much money Qiao's had in Yinzhuang.

A family of 12 taels, a family of 25 taels, and a family of [-] taels, totaling [-] taels.

Jiang Changning played with the silver seal, "Mr. Qiao is really a master at making money."

If it hadn't been for Qiao's sudden death, if she sorted out these account books before handing them over, Jiang Changning would have to take a lot of trouble to settle the accounts.

"Fangju, sort out Yinzhuang's account, I'm going to send it to the concubine for review." Jiang Changning had to make the concubine completely bored with Qiao.

25 silver, even the rich and powerful Prince Jin's Mansion would feel a little bit of pain, Qiao's is really too greedy.

Jiang Changning took the account book and seal, went to the Liuxuan Courtyard, and pushed the maid back, "Concubine Mu, look at this."

"What is it?" The concubine took it and looked it over, her face turned livid, "Damn it, this damned thing, she failed my trust in her."

Although the concubine is a bit snobbish, she has the pride of a family girl, and she will delegate power when she says she wants to delegate power. She has given Qiao all her trust in the matter of housekeeping.

"Mother Concubine, this is normal. Her family background is too low, and the dowry is not much. She doesn't invade the palace. How can she buy a generous dowry for Kang Ren in the future? How can she provide for the elderly? After all, this palace is not hers, and it will be mine in the future." Son, your grandson."

Jiang Changning didn't want the concubine to intervene in the housekeeper's affairs because she didn't trust her because of Mrs. Qiao.

"You're right, her housekeeper has a dishonorable reputation." The concubine sighed, "I pity her as a widow who is unemployed. Let her be a housekeeper, and you have been wronged."

"I'm not wronged. I don't care about my family. I'm not a hardworking person. I wish I could be lazy."

"The mansion needs to be rectified. You must stop being lazy." The concubine said seriously.

"The concubine mother has to motivate me." Jiang Changning said.

The concubine was taken aback, "You girl, you are the concubine of Jin, the affairs of this mansion are in your hands, and you want me to encourage you, ouch, there is such a saying."

"It's been there since then. In the future, when it's my daughter-in-law's turn to be the housekeeper, I will encourage her. If I don't, the concubine mother can help her scold me."

Jiang Changning's words meant wishing the concubine a long life. Who wouldn't like it if the four generations lived under the same roof?
The concubine laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, I encourage you, you have always liked jade, and I will give you the narcissus ornaments carved from sapphire and white jade, okay?"

"Thank you, concubine mother." Jiang Changning smiled sweetly.

Taking the narcissus ornament given by the concubine, Jiang Changning returned to Rujingyuan.

The people in the mansion, Jiang Changning, didn't make a big move. It's better to use the familiar than the familiar. As long as these people are obedient and honest, it's fine.

The second housekeeper was gone, so Jiang Changning asked the third housekeeper to be promoted to the second housekeeper, and the fourth housekeeper to be promoted to the third housekeeper. After asking Chunlai what he meant, he asked Dongzang to be the fourth housekeeper.

In the account room, two cashiers, two accountants, and one supervisor were arranged.

A set of internal accounts and a set of external accounts, the supervisor is responsible for reviewing.

The things in the warehouse are re-registered and recorded, and the precious things are arranged to be guarded by a special person, and only this person is responsible for the loss.

Some adjustments have been made to the large dining room and the small dining room, so that they can perform their duties, and the management is no longer chaotic, especially for purchasing.

Five purchases, mutual supervision, secret supervision and spot checks at any time, lest they jointly report false accounts.

Jiang Changning regards Prince Jin's Mansion as a company, and arranges the staff of Prince Jin's Mansion according to the company's structure.
