Chapter 59 Princess: I want to lose money, who dares to stop?

In the next few days, An's hands and feet really started to move.

She didn't do anything else, she just used the name of caring about Qin Shou to send people to Honghu Pavilion, whether it was charming, simple or pink maidservants, she would send three or four of them, and if it was not good, she would complain to Qin Shou face to face Complaining, talking about the difficulty of these years, hoping to get the palace from Qin Shou.

How could Qin Shou care about her? The maids he sent didn't even meet her face, so he just asked Yan'an to throw her into the rough envoy's courtyard, and let the delicate lady do all the rough work. After a few days, how could she still see her brightly? .

Zhongfu is even simpler. On a cool afternoon, Yan'an took the account book and went directly to Anfo Temple. It is nicknamed, as Princess Rong, the princess's life cannot be too leisurely, and the back house still needs to be sorted out. .

In the end, he also gave her a bunch of keys to the warehouse, and in the future, the food and clothing expenses of the entire palace will be in the hands of Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo didn't see it as being lively, but was arrested instead. She touched the stack of account books, shook the keys in her hand, and returned to Qin Shou with a big smile, "The housekeeper is fine, the money is gone, no wonder this palace."

Yan'an's eyelids twitched, and he said the words back to Qin Shou, but Qin Shou only nodded and didn't respond.

Where does Concubine Luo know how to take care of Zhongfu? It's her dowry and land, and it was Huai Xu who took care of it. She simply gave Huai Xu the account of the palace, and she took the money out of the warehouse, and only cared about the expenses. That is.

After ten days of this, she frowned, looked at the pile of messy things she had bought on the ground, and said annoyedly, "How much did I spend?"

Huai Xu said blankly, "A total of six thousand five hundred and twenty one taels and more than thirteen essays."

Concubine Luo rubbed the center of her eyebrows. In the past few days, even if she didn't go out of the house, she let the people below go out to spend money. She said that the silver carbon and ice cubes had been stored for the purchase of her Buddhist temple. It can't be used up next year, let alone the pile of useless waste on the ground.

Concubine Luo, who has never worried about money, is worried about spending money for the first time.

Tell her to take over the royal palace in an orderly manner and take care of Qin Shou's back house, how can she be willing, and she is still suffocating in her heart, how can she be obedient.

"You don't need to spend money deliberately." She said quietly, and continued to read the ancient books on casting gold, silver and copper coins that she hadn't finished reading.

Huai Xu ordered the rough emissary to collect the pile on the ground, throw away the useless ones, and give away the useful ones. After there were no outsiders in the flower hall, she calmly said, "Princess, how much money did you spend for this pure business?" , the princess still needs to find another way.”

Concubine Luo looked up at her, "Oh? Tell me."

Huai Xu's normally expressionless face suddenly burst into a smile, "As far as the servant girl knows, there is a way in this world that can make people become impoverished overnight."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, dipped in the tea, and wrote a word on the table.

Concubine Luo leaned over to look at it, but it was a big "gambling" word, she frowned again, pondered for a moment and shook her head, "The actual spending of money is not my intention, what I want most is to take out all the money of my son-in-law Put it in my purse."

Hearing this, Huai Xu's eyes lit up. She has a very boring temperament, but there is only one thing, that is, she likes counting silver very much. Her five fingers jumped, and she dialed the small abacus that she carried with her.

After doing some calculations for a while, she excitedly said to Concubine Luo, "Princess, when I was learning to manage accounts with my aunt in the palace, I heard an allusion. A person with the surname Wang casts this knife with copper and tin in exchange for gold and silver. After a few years, the common people have gold and silver knives and no more gold and silver. But the family of the surname Wang is full of gold and silver. Collect all the money in the world into your own treasury."

Concubine Luo has read a lot of ancient books recently, and she has heard about these aspects, she thought for a while and shook her head, "This kind of behavior will cause the common people to suffer, it is not appropriate."

Huai Xu smiled, "The princess is not the one with the surname of Wang, and even if she wants to make a gold knife, she can't hide it from her son-in-law. What the servant girl means is that the princess can learn from this method, as long as the gold and silver in the son-in-law's warehouse are exchanged for gold and silver. Things like gold and silver knives are fine, once you leave Rongzhou in the future, those things can’t be exchanged for gold and silver, they are just a pile of rags.”

Concubine Luo's eyes flickered, and Huai Xu's proposal was naturally very moving, but after learning from the last time, she told herself several times to remain calm, and then she said slowly, "Go, read the scroll about the Jin Cuo Dao Find me and have a look."

It's not too late to make a decision before making a move.

If you suffer once, there is no one who is not good at learning.

Huai Xu's eyes were as bright as water, and whenever she thought of the gold and silver belongings in the son-in-law's treasury in the mansion, she would feel throbbing. The room was full of real gold and silver, and she felt itchy unbearably.

Concubine Luo held her breath, and spent several days reading many books related to gold and silver. She thought over and over again about the gold and silver knife, and she was sure that there was nothing wrong, so she called Yan'an to come over for questioning.

Yan'an was not surprised by the princess's summons. Before he went, he specifically asked the prince how to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Qin Shou only said, "Just be true."

Therefore, when Concubine Luo asked, "I heard from Mrs. An that recently the son-in-law is not in the backyard at all, and even stays in the Canglan Garden, do you know that he is busy?"

Yan'an thought about it, thought this could be the answer, and said, "My lord recently sent a team of Qin's army to solve the Langcheng matter, and Rongzhou is now the first harvest of new grain, which is related to the next season's grain production. It's urgent, so the prince is busy."

Concubine Luo nodded, she actually understood, and she also saw the solution to the taxation in Canglan Garden. Qin Shou simply formulated different taxes according to the different properties of rural households to ensure that the poor There is food to eat, but the rich take advantage of it.

She had to admit that although Qin Shou was not a good son-in-law, he was certainly more suitable to be in power than her emperor brother.

Pressing down on these thoughts, she asked again, "Is there a reply to the Langcheng matter?"

Yan'an is sure that this matter can also be reported according to the facts, "Yesterday the carrier pigeon sent back news that the city has been driven out of the Great Yin, and those corrupt officials who deceived the top and the bottom are still being investigated to ensure that no fish slipped through the net." .”

Concubine Luo nodded, "The son-in-law has worked so hard, as the son-in-law's long-term follower, you should take good care of the son-in-law."

Yan'an repeatedly said yes.

Only then did Concubine Luo put him back, and as soon as Yan'an left, Concubine Luo told Shouyang, "Take my post to invite some wives, and together with Mrs. An, go to Anfo Temple tomorrow to have a drink in the cool air."

Shouyang went to do it, and Concubine Luo called Huai Xu and Gu Shiwei in again, and asked Gu Shiwei to go to the workshop to find a few young men who were smart and proficient in gambling, and then they got together with Huai Xu and muttered for a long time At that time, the two masters and servants discussed the matter of the wrong gold knife, and even thought about the hiding place after changing the silver.
