Chapter 231
"Yes, it's all up to the concubine's orders." Zhao Quan said with his head down.

"Steward Zhao, please go and call all the first-class servants of the palace." Yan Rusi said calmly.

"Yes, I'm going right now, old slave." Zhao Quan hurriedly left after speaking.

Yunyin smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the princess has already made preparations."

Yan Rusi smiled complacently, and said, "If I hadn't looked at it a few days ago, I wouldn't have been fooled by others. If this house is not well managed, how can the prince feel at ease outside. The so-called self-cultivation, Qi family and world peace, if this family If it’s messed up, nothing can be done.”

Suxian nodded and said, "The princess is very right."

Yan Rusi said solemnly, "You two have to study hard. When you get married and become a mistress, you always have to be housekeepers."

Suxian's face turned red, but Yunyin didn't move, she just smiled and replied, "I don't want to marry, I just want to be with the princess for the rest of my life!"

At this moment, Zhao Quan led a group over.

"See Wangfei." Everyone bowed and saluted in unison.

Yan Rusi raised her hand and said, "No."

After sweeping everyone, Yan Rusi said unhurriedly, "In the past, Housekeeper Zhao was in charge of the affairs of the palace, but he is getting older, so he can't always worry about it like this. It's time for him to enjoy life in peace. Since then, I have been in charge of all the big and small matters of the palace. However, there are some things I have to say first."

Yan Rusi paused as she spoke, and watched the crowd whispering coldly. The performance became extremely serious. Ling Sheng continued, "I have my own way of doing things. Now that I am the housekeeper, naturally everything will be fine. I can do as I say, I don't want to hear anyone say what happened before, if I hear this, I will expel the princess."

Everyone shivered, and hurriedly said, "Yes." At the same time, their hearts began to beat up and down.

Yan Rusi nodded in satisfaction, and said loudly, "Mother Zhang."

Mother Zhang trembled when she was called, and stood up nervously, saying, "The servant is here."

Yunyin hurriedly picked up a pen and an empty booklet, and began to record.

Yan Rusi said with a serious face, "Except for the people in the Jingyi Hall, there were originally fifteen cleaning maids in the palace, and there were five other servants. From today onwards, all of them will be managed by you, and you will be in charge of the palace. Cleaning matters. Except for Jingyi Pavilion and Lingyun Pavilion, if there is anything dirty in this mansion, I will come to you directly."

Zhang's mother shrank her heart and hurriedly said, "Yes."

Yan Rusi said again, "From now on, I will give you one tael per month. If you do well, you will be rewarded with an extra five taels at the end of the year. As for those under your command, you will get four taels a month, and you will be given another two taels at the end of the year."

Zhang's mother, who was still a little reluctant and worried about taking responsibility, was overjoyed when she heard this.In the past, she only got ten taels a year, but now it's more than two taels. If it's good, there are still five taels. How can this not make her happy.

Thinking of this, Zhang's mother quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Xie Wangfei, I will definitely do a good job and clean up the palace."

Yan Rusi nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "It's so good. If there is any cleaning tool missing in the cleaning place, you can buy it yourself. As for the money, you can register with Yunyin, and then you can withdraw it from the cashier."

"Yes, this servant understands, and must strictly follow the princess' orders."

Yan Rusi evoked a satisfied smile, and said, "For the sake of cheapness, all of you who clean the office should live in the small courtyard east of the north courtyard. You go down and clean up first, and then arrange everyone's work."

"Yes." Zhang's mother left in a hurry with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Zhang's mother's salary has increased, the people below couldn't help being envious, and eagerly waiting for Yan Rusi to rearrange them.

Yan Rusi picked up the teacup and drank a few sips gracefully. After talking for a long time, she was really thirsty.When she put down the teacup, Suxian hurriedly went down to get another pot of hot tea, and then poured another cup for Yan Rusi and put it on the table.

"Master Yao."

"Yes." Master Yao looked happy, and hurriedly stood up.

Yan Rusi smiled and said, "Master Yao's craftsmanship is very good."

"Thank you, princess, for your compliment."

Yan Rusi said with a pleasant face, "You are the steward of the kitchen, and the kitchen affairs are still entrusted to you. As for the monthly salary, the same as Zhang's mother, and the same reward at the end of the year, okay?"

Master Yao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Princess Xie, this servant will definitely do his best."

"Get up." Yan Rusi raised her hand and made a gesture of support, and continued, "There is only one difference from the original one. Including you, there are eight people in the kitchen. It will not be so troublesome in the future. You will be responsible for the purchase of everything in the kitchen. As for how to arrange it, Master Yao can figure it out. You only need to pay for the next month at the end of each month. Report to Yunyin, and then go to Mr. Ling to get the money. It’s just because the kitchen expenses are the biggest, so I have to trouble Master Yao to keep the accounts. If there are not enough people, I will send you two more people there.”

Master Yao quickly waved his hands and said, "There is no need to send more people. In the past, every time we bought kitchen supplies, we had to send people to follow, but this bookkeeping really needs another person. I have a daughter who just turned 15 this year. , I can read a few words, and there is no problem with keeping accounts. If the princess agrees, I can ask her to help in the kitchen."

Yan Rusi smiled and said, "This is the best. If it is convenient, I can let your daughter come over tomorrow. In this way, except you, everyone in the kitchen cleans up the same as the maids, four dollars a month, and another at the end of the year." Send two taels. Also, the people in your kitchen now live in the south half of the north courtyard, so you can still live there, and just arrange another place for your children."

"Princess, don't worry. We have a female chef in the kitchen, so just let my daughter live with her. I'll let her come over after dinner today." Master Yao said with a pleasant smile.

"That being the case, you go down and do it."

As soon as Master Yao left, Zhao Quan became nervous.The purchase of this kitchen is the biggest expense of the palace. If all these are excluded, what should the person in charge of the purchase do?

"Guard Li." Yan Rusi called out to a very tall and strong man.

Li Huwei clasped his fists in both hands, and said in a loud voice, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Guard Li has devoted himself to his duties these years, protecting the whole palace, and he has done a lot of credit." Yan Rusi said, "The order of the palace will be troublesome to Guard Li."

"Don't dare!" Li Huwei said solemnly.

"There are more than ten people in the guard team. You should still live in the courtyard on the south side of the north courtyard with the people in the kitchen. Guard Li's original monthly salary was one tael, but it has risen to two taels since this month. Those people under your command also If you want to increase, just one or two, and the month at the end of the year will issue a double amount of money."
