Zhenguan paper seller

Chapter 418 Chapter 410

To be honest, Li Er and the others were really curious about how Li Chengqian grew up and why he was so frugal now.

Is it too much for a family to eat, three dishes and one soup, and some fruit after the meal?

Not too much.

The people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty may have just lived three meals a day, and every meal can have a life of side dishes.

Those who are a little better have already lived a life of eating vegetables in different ways.

You must know that the most intuitive thing about Datang's huge grain production is the changes in people's lives.

Potatoes have been made into dishes, radishes have been promoted, and cabbage has also been produced.

These three kinds of vegetables belong to the dishes that can survive the winter and can be stored.

Every household is stockpiling bacon and ham.

That life is already great.

While the life of the common people is so good, the life of the middle-class taxis is even better.

As the crown prince, why is Li Chengqian so frugal and thrifty, to prepare for usurping the throne.

"Father, it's easy to eat a lot of fish and meat, change the dishes every day, and you can never finish eating.

Moreover, many dishes are best eaten in season.

Reasonably control your desires, and your life will be better. "

Li Chengqian came out and said proudly.

This is my concept of life.

It’s a waste to have a lot of fish and meat every day. Change to a new dish every day, and eat seasonal dishes when the season comes. Anyway, those imperial chefs can cook them well.

What Li Chengqian said was very simple, but the other people did look serious.

Being in the royal family, being able to reasonably control one's desires is really powerful.

"What's more, there are so many people in the East Palace. It's enough to protect me with the guards of the East Palace. I can't live in two palaces in total.

Others need to be repaired, which is all money. "

Having said this, Li Chengqian's expression turned grim, and then he quickly recovered his calm.

The East Palace is huge, and the Imperial Palace is even bigger.

It's too much for them to live.

The simplest explanation is that from the first year of Zhenguan to the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Er's harem lived in the East Palace before the Turks were defeated, and so did the others.

Even some offices are in the East Palace.

But the East Palace is still not crowded.

If it's Li Chengqian's turn to live by himself, then it's nothing.

The soldiers guarding in rotation don't live here, and there are only himself and some court ladies and eunuchs in the East Palace.

It is enough for a palace maid and eunuch to have two palaces.

Li Chengqian had one for himself, leaving the others empty.

And the money for these repairs was paid by Donggong himself.

When Li Chengqian thought that he had to spend a lot of money every year to support a group of court ladies and eunuchs, and to maintain the palace, he was unhappy.

Since you are not happy, you have to solve it.

Layoffs.

A large number of court ladies and eunuchs threw it to his mother.

Make up your own rules for the rest.

Start cooking on time, and the rest of the time, the kitchen can be guarded by someone.

There are more than 30 palace maids and eunuchs, he, Su Wan'er and the little lady are enough.

There are 15 people in a shift, and it is enough to have four shifts dedicated to guarding the bathroom, and four shifts dedicated to guarding the toilet.

The remaining 22 shifts are responsible for daily life.

The eunuch guards the latrine, and the maid guards the bathroom.

Everything was arranged, nothing happened.

Li Chengqian felt very good.

Go out and follow a group of people, there is a ghost.

A group of eunuchs and maids can't protect themselves, so it's better to have some guards guarding them.

The guards still have strength.

He, Su Waner and the little lady only use two palaces in total, one for the little lady, one for him and Su Waner, how simple.

Find a few side rooms in the two palaces for the maids and eunuchs to live in, and everything will be worry-free.

Not even a few candles lit.

After listening to Li Chengqian's narration, the others all wanted to say, absolutely.

"Father, my son has always wanted to divide the East Palace, but it is really useless.

Two palaces are enough for the ministers.

Still alive and well. "

Li Chengqian himself was speechless.

Li Er fell into deep thought, as if there was some truth to it.

No wonder Li Chengqian was able to earn so much money for a reason.

Li Chengqian contracted out all the banquets, and paid directly, and you cooked the dishes well.

Each dish is watched by a special person, and there will be no poisoning.

This saves a lot of expenses.

In a word, no one should try to make money from him.

Just don't like raising too many people.

The East Palace is prone to deductions when making large-scale purchases. Now it’s all right, if there is no purchase, how can you deduct.

As for booking a banquet, it was even easier. Li Chengqian went to talk to the big businessmen himself, and they didn't dare to take kickbacks.

"Father, the ministers even want to abolish the eunuchs. I think that with the development of the times, things like eunuchs should not be kept. For many things, court ladies are enough."

Li Chengqian put forward his own ideas.

He doesn't know who the eunuch invented it, but Li Chengqian knows one thing, that is, eunuchs are ugly and smelly, and they often can't control their excretion function.

Moreover, the eunuch's body is disabled, and the three views will gradually be distorted.

That being the case, it is better not to use Jianfu directly.

Healthy women are strong and strong, and generally not too tall, they can do physical work, and they don't have to worry about being liked by the emperor.

"Okay, you've said enough, let's go."

Li Er couldn't stand Li Chengqian's chatter, so he asked him to step aside.

This matter ended like this, Li Chengqian was right.

Some things are really unnecessary.

"Wei Wangtai went to live in Wei Wang's Mansion. The Furong Garden was taken back to the state, and the Ministry of Industry ordered people to repair it. Afterwards, most of it was opened to the common people and the nobles."

Li Er felt that he should teach his son a lesson.

Otherwise, this guy doesn't know how to live.

Li Tai looked shocked.

Aye, you don't love me anymore.

Liu Bo and Cui Dunli's expressions also changed drastically.

Has it reached the bottom line yet?
The Hibiscus Garden is huge, and its footprint and luxury are shocking.

It is called a garden, and there is even a small lake where you can row a boat.

Not the kind of boat for two or three people, but the kind of flower boat that can sing, dance and cook.

One can imagine the hugeness of Furong Garden.

In fact, Li Er is also thinking about Li Tai, you are not as rich as your elder brother, why live in such a big place, save some money for your son, can't my grandson buy something delicious and fun?

In a word, I still despise Li Taiqiong.

See why there are more and more good cards around Li Chengqian.

Why do various families like to play with him.

Isn't it because he has a large number of factories in his hands, a large number of materials are being produced, and the family can get half the price if they have a good relationship?
Even if the staff cost is included, Li Chengqian can still earn a small profit.

Such a good thing, everyone is happy.

The part that the aristocratic family can't eat can still be digested internally, and sold to the common people at a low price, and part of the wages will be recovered at that time, which is very happy.

Life is so wonderful.

Li Er also had to say that if Li Chengqian fell from power one day, as long as half of his factories involved in people's livelihood stopped working, the country would be in turmoil.

This is the threat.

There are many people who support them.

Not your average lot.

Therefore, some industries cannot be downgraded, even the upper management must be punished, and then others will take over, and there must be no turmoil.
