The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 533 Chapter 543: Secrets of the Inner Court

Yun Ran just sat there, glanced at Liang Mama, then stopped talking, and her eyes fell on the account book again.

She also tested it to see if Nanny Liang knew the tricks here, but she didn't expect that Nanny Liang really knew.

This was a bit of a surprise to Yunran. You must know that there are many rules in the palace, and the things in this account book have been like this for many years.

Could it be that Empress Dowager Hui is a fool who can't see it?

Certainly not.

Then it's the matter here, which Yunran doesn't know.

What she wanted to find out was the regulations of the palace account books.

It's [-]% higher than the market price, so how much more money does the palace spend every year.Where did the money go, and whose hands did it fall into?

Once you figure it out, you will have a charter in your heart.

As for finding out how to deal with this matter, Yun Ran has to discuss it with Sikong Mu Sheng.

After all, this is not a small matter, this is a big thing.

Liang Nanny thought for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing the slaves. The things here are always like this, and the rules of the palace have always been like this. When Emperor Wen Zong was here, the inner court mansion was like this. , Emperor Wenzong gave the same instructions and did not change them."

Yunran was secretly surprised, isn't this equivalent to raising the price by order?
how can that be possible?
"Mother Liang, you were sent by the emperor, and my palace has always relied on you. When I asked about this today, I just wanted to know the root cause of this. As for the other things, I didn't plan to do anything." Mr. Yun Ran Let Mammy Liang feel at ease, after all, she is telling the truth, how could she take action easily when the matter is not clear.

Liang Nanny smiled helplessly and said: "Madam, it's not that the slaves are unwilling to talk about it, but that it's useless to say it. This is the rule left by the ancestors of the past dynasties. The extra [-]% is for the people below. food."

Yun Ran has never lived in the palace in the past two lifetimes, so she naturally doesn't understand these things. Hearing Mammy Liang's words, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "If that's the case, Mammy should come and listen."

Liang Nanny looked at the expression of the empress, and seeing that she was still peaceful, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "Your Majesty, think about it, there are so many servants in the palace, there are thousands of them. Going around inside and outside the palace is even more like a millstone. If there is no profit, who is willing to do such a hard job, carrying his head on the job every day, isn't it because of this?"

There was a pause at this point, and Mother Liang said again: "The eggs outside are worth five yuan, and the palace dares to report ten yuan, and a piece of tile is fifteen yuan, and it dares to report thirty yuan. The extra money is nothing but They took it up and down, and with this money, they were willing to work hard. To put it bluntly, my lord, which one of the adults who serve as officials in the court is not one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver for the magistrate of the three-year Qing Dynasty, which is the custom. "

Yun Ran was silent, and seeing Liang Nanny's uneasy look, she smiled at her and said, "You don't have to worry, this word came out of your mouth and entered mine today, and there will never be another people know."

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness." Nanny Liang thought that this would be the best, otherwise the word would spread, and the gang of grandsons in the inner court would have to squeeze herself to death.

Seeing the empress frowning tightly, she seemed a little puzzled, Liang Nanny thought, since she stepped on the queen's boat, she would never get off in this life, only when the empress is well, she will be well.

There are many ways in the inner court, so it's better to take the opportunity to talk to the empress to show your loyalty, and gradually you will become a confidant.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind.

Nanny Liang coughed lightly, and said again: "Your Majesty may not know that there were quite a few imperial merchants in the Great Jin Dynasty, and they all hung under the inner court."

Yunran nodded lightly, "I've heard of this. My father has some experience in business, and I heard him say it a few times occasionally."

Mother Liang was a little surprised, she didn't expect Duke Rong to be a formidable person, so she hurriedly said a few words of flattery.

Yunran looked at Liang Nanny's posture, but wanted to tell her about her secret behavior, so she sat upright and listened carefully. Sure enough, she heard Liang Nanny went on to say: "There are certain rules for the inner court to buy things from the palace. According to the regulations, there are many means here.

Take money out of the country, if the inner court has money, the first thing to do is to allocate cash.The second is to fold subjects and barter.The third is to provide an introduction to the goods, so that the imperial merchants can use the goods to lead them to various places to extract the goods and sell them in exchange for silver.There is also a kind of conferring titles and officials, which is not very common in the Jin Dynasty, but it was still very popular in the previous dynasty. "

When Madam Liang said this, she couldn't help sighing, "Everyone wants to be an imperial merchant. I remember that when Emperor Wen Zong, a merchant in the south got a sale of incense candles for 1 taels of silver. Buying goods worth [-] silver and sending them to the palace is really unsightly. Spices contain a lot of wood, and candles contain a lot of asphalt, these are the most common things.”

"Could it be that the palace doesn't ask if such things are sent into the palace?" Yun Ran really didn't expect to be so arrogant.

Liang Nanny smiled wryly and said: "The ones that are sent to the queen and the favored concubines are naturally pre-determined, but there are so many concubines in the palace, after all, many of them are not favored. Slave, what night is it not for lighting the lamps and boiling the wax, who would dare to make a fuss if the bad ones are used by these people? Besides, the Empress Dowager Hui might not have known about it at that time."

Yun Ran took a deep breath, sure enough the water was deep here, she looked at Liang Nanny and said, "Then the Inner Court Mansion is in charge of the palace's purchases, whose family is the head of the Inner Court Mansion?"

Those who can sit in this position are either the emperor's confidants or the empress' confidants.

I didn't hear that Sikong Mu Sheng had changed his job as the head of the inner court, so he was still the same one.

Nanny Liang gave a dry laugh, and glanced in the direction of Yunyi Palace.

It is the Empress Dowager Hui.

Yun Ran nodded, looked at Mammy Liang with a smile and said, "Mammy has worked hard, go down and drink a cup of tea to moisten your mouth."

Nanny Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly backed away. She felt cold sweat all over her body when she went out, and shivered when the wind blew her away.

She also couldn't figure out what the queen empress meant, but it didn't have much to do with her, and she couldn't reach out to the inner court.

But she is still happy to see those grandchildren are unlucky, but she doesn't know if the empress will do it.

It is not a simple matter to change the head of the inner court.

After Liang Mama stepped back, Yun Ran thought about it. If she wanted to change someone, she couldn't catch the other party's fault, so she couldn't do it.

So as not to startle the snake.

Moreover, she has never done anything she is not sure of, if she wants to do something, she must make the other party defenseless.

Thinking of this, Yunran couldn't help but think of Lin Shuwei. Without the consent of the inner court, she would not be able to stay in the palace. It seemed that she could take this opportunity to find out who was behind Lin Shuwei.

It's time to plan well.
