Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 942
Entering the twelfth lunar month, everyone outside the customs is busy, and the princes are always preparing to help the royal family. Who would have thought that the queen would hand over the procurement to Shu Yun.

"Master, these are the lists sent by the managers, saying that they can only be purchased after approval." Su Zhu admitted that when the managers complimented her, she felt very majestic, but the master was very helpless.

Shu Yun held the list and looked at the detailed records on it. Basically, they were all things to be prepared in the palace. The things for the sacrifices in the first month were all prepared. She had the list prepared by Concubine Tong in her hand. In previous years, Tong Taigui The imperial concubine is something to prepare for the New Year, and the overall number is one-third less than here.

"Why are these numbers so much?" Yinzhen walked to Shu Yun's side, looking at the numbers on the account, feeling very strange.

"Master, why did you come back so soon?" Shu Yun became suspicious.

Yinzhen nodded: "There are fewer things today, so I came back early."

Shu Yun gave Yinzhen a cup of warm tea, sat aside, and Yinzhen reached out to bring over the ledger.

"It was only delivered today, and it was said that it was going to be used to buy it. If it is not approved, it will not be beautiful." Shu Yun said quickly.

Yinzhen's face darkened: "Isn't the queen planning to intervene?"

"Yes, the empress entrusted me to deal with this matter. It may be that the slaves outside the customs don't care at all, but the number is the majority. I asked Zhang Desheng to ask, and the other party said that it is often cold here. A lot of them are broken, so some of these things are prepared to be replaced." Shu Yun said hastily.

After hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but feel happy, these people really know how to make excuses.

"Little boy, deal with the figures prepared for you by Concubine Tong, Su Peisheng, you go and gather all the managers here." Yinzhen looked at Su Peisheng and said.

Su Peisheng nodded quickly, and went to the House of Internal Affairs according to what Yinzhen said.

According to Yinzhen's order, all the managers were called here. These managers should have heard that Shu Yun would handle it, so these people were very excited.

"Master, wouldn't it be bad if you intervene?" Shu Yun looked at Yinzhen and asked.

"What's inappropriate? How dare you take advantage of this opportunity and get so many benefits from it, little boy, these people just can't be used to it, otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of problems." Yinzhen's face darkened .

After hearing Yinzhen's words, Shu Yun thought silently in his heart. Before leaving Beijing, Yinzhen specially told him how many things there might be for the festival.

"Perhaps, the princes are already used to big money. Wouldn't it be bad for you to do so?" Shu Yun looked at Yinzhen and asked.

Yinzhen shook his head directly: "I was talking to the princes today, if someone profited from it, someone should be talking about it behind their backs.

Later, Su Peisheng called everyone from the House of Internal Affairs. When the chief managers heard that Yinzhen came to manage it personally, they felt a little bit in their hearts. If it was only Shu Yun, they would have been better off fooling around. Yinzhen saw it as it was. You can definitely know how much moisture there is in them.

Shu Yun sat beside Yinzhen, looking helplessly at these people, they were really dishonest, Yinzhen took care of it himself.

"Who transcribed this list?" Yinzhen worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs all year round, so he knew exactly how much the House of Internal Affairs had to import every year.

"It's a slave!" The head of the House of Internal Affairs directly knelt on the ground, looking at Yinzhen helplessly. "Master, this time it's really the slave who counted some losses. The damage outside the pass is much more than that inside the pass. Therefore, the slave has to think about it."

Yin Zhen looked at the other party coldly, hoping that he could continue to explain.

"The chief managers outside the customs have calculated a lot in the middle, saying that these are enough to consume." Under Yinzhen's eyes, the chief manager directly told the people who helped him.

Yinzhen slammed the ledger on the table with a slap, Shu Yun didn't say a word, even Zhang Desheng knelt on the ground, he went to help Shu Yun find out the news, and found that the situation here is really more chaotic than in the capital a lot of.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, the princes outside the pass feel that the cost is much higher, and everyone is soberly aware that these are just simple losses.

"Su Peisheng, ask someone to check. I want an exact number within an hour." Yinzhen believed that there must be people who were suppressed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they should know exactly how much they needed.

The chief managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at Su Peisheng's leaving back, and their hearts were suspended. Among other things, if Yinzhen really investigated cruelly, he would soon come to a conclusion.

There is a clear difference between Yinzhen and Kangxi, although the father and son look alike, Yinzhen's temper will be tougher, and even Yinzhen will investigate clearly how much he has been greedy for.

"If you tell me clearly now, you will be spared this experience, if you don't tell me," Yinzhen said directly.

Shu Yun sat aside, waiting for Yinzhen to get angry. She took a sip of tea and rolled up her handkerchief, feeling somewhat nervous.

"Master, why don't you leave this matter to me?" Shu Yun said directly.

Yinzhen flatly refused: "If you can solve it, you won't show up in front of me."

Shu Yun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master, if you say that, I'll go to bed, you really are"

She dared to get up, but Yinzhen directly grabbed Shu Yun, and quickly put the teacup in her hand. Yinzhen believed that Shu Yun absolutely didn't want to talk about it, but it was just to deal with things as soon as possible in the future.

"Okay, can you feel at ease now?" Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun with a funny face and asked.

"Master" Shu Yun accepted the tea with a smile, and the servants looked at the actions of Yinzhen and Shu Yun, and felt a little strange in their hearts, that these two could get along so well, even Yinzhen accommodated Shu Yun.

Later, Su Peisheng walked in from the outside with a gloomy face. Shu Yun looked at Yinzhen's expression and listened quickly.

"One-third!" Yinzhen squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, and she quickly looked at the chief of the House of Internal Affairs, sure enough, cold sweat was already breaking out on the chief's forehead.

"Damn it, slave!" The manager hurriedly kowtowed, hoping that Yinzhen would spare him this time.

"Speaking of which, what's the matter with you?" Yinzhen looked at the manager and asked.

After the steward came outside the customs, the steward here began to talk about the things to be prepared for the sacrifice, and there were actually a lot more inside than in the capital.

"Where's the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside the pass?" Yinzhen believed that this person must have been greedy a lot.

"He died suddenly!" Su Peisheng replied.
