Chapter 146: Treasure Hunting
The palace has a big face, even if many people don't know what the palace is going to do to invite guests, but many people still come to the door with congratulatory gifts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Steward Song said with a flick of the abacus: "These congratulatory gifts are worth a lot, so throw them all in the warehouse." ”
Meng Zhining nodded, these are all local tyrants, and they also have a comparison heart for sending things, and the one they send is more valuable than the other.
She likes this kind of local tyrant.
She unceremoniously sent these things to the treasury, and by the way, she informed the people in the account room, everyone in the backyard has a fixed amount of twenty taels of silver per month, and if the people in the backyard need to withdraw something, they must report to the prince.
The people in the account room wrote it down and sent it to the back for registration.
After cleaning up the rest of the matter, she went to the front hall, she especially wanted to see what Yan Xiling was doing.
She was busy in the back for too long, and the people were basically there, and the eight tables arranged by Yan Xiling were all full of people, and the plates on them were the dishes he told her to make.
He's not going to let these people eat it.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, the smell of these things is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Steward Song didn't know when he stood in the middle of a few tables and said, "The prince has ordered, everyone can eat as much as you like." ”
Everyone looked down at the so-called dishes on their tables, and the contents of those plates were full, but what was this green thing? These people are all squires and tyrants, where have they eaten these things?
People are staring at this thing, and they can't even say it.
Do you think they all want to come to this banquet? Undoubtedly, I received an invitation from the palace, and it said that I was invited to the palace to appreciate the treasure, which aroused the appetite of some people, and I rushed to come, but after I came, I didn't see the treasure, but what I saw was this kind of dish that I didn't even know anything.
Yan Xiling changed into a white robe before coming out, in a high position, holding a chopstick and saying: "You don't have to be restrained, these dishes are all cooked by this princess, and the taste will naturally not be bad." ”
Don't you say it's not bad......
But seeing him move the chopsticks, all the people couldn't shirk it, they picked up the chopsticks one after another, and sent the dishes to their mouths, only to take a bite, and most people's faces had changed a little.
It's not spicy or very sour, salty and bitter, and this thing is simply not eaten by people.
These people, who are used to eating big fish and meat, really can't eat this kind of thing.
Yan Xiling stopped with chopsticks and said, "What, this doesn't taste good?" ”
Some of the bold ones were already shouting out in discontent: "What are these things? Could it be that the prince let us come here just to eat these things? ”
Yan Xiling sneered, picked up a shepherd's cabbage with chopsticks and leisurely sent it to his mouth: "Naturally not, it's just that what you eat now is what the people outside the city often eat, this is what the king saw when he went out of the city a few days ago, but Zhao Di is not poor, and there are not a lot of Yulu handed over to the court every year, and this king is actually thinking about where this silver flows." ”
The person who spoke just now couldn't open his mouth, the grain tax in Zhao was very high, and the crops planted by the people had not been handed over much, so they couldn't eat at all. And why Zhao Di has such a high tax, these people are tacit.
"And Zhaodi is close to the sea, sea salt resources are abundant, and in the past few years, fine salt and bamboo salt were abundant, why haven't they been in the past few years?" Yan Xiling picked up a small jar beside her, grabbed a handful of rough sea salt, poured it on the table and asked.
No one dared to speak, Yan Xiling took out an edict and said: "Originally, the emperor sent this king to secretly investigate the corruption incident in Zhao Di, but this king Nian has not caused anything in your past few years, so I decided to change it to a clear investigation." ”
Yan Xiling put down his chopsticks and didn't mention this matter again, and waved his hand and said: "Since this king is inviting you to open the treasure, I won't mention this, today this king has a few items to be sold, so let you open your eyes...... Let them come in. ”
I saw a few little maids at the door each holding a vase came in, these vases are all useless things on the palace, and they are not valuable things, ear filigree vases, you can see them anywhere, they are not treasures at all, let alone open your eyes.
Everyone looked at each other, and a few people had begun to secretly complain in their hearts, this prince came for the purpose of making money.
Originally, a few people had already guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, but they didn't expect these three princes to be so shameless, and thought that he was more or less a little good-looking thing to make a show, but I didn't expect him to even come to do it, and fool them with the things he bought casually from the stall vendors.
However, they can't help but cooperate with him, follow him around, they are now each hanging their heads on their belts, Yan Xiling released the matter of investigating corruption cases, so that they are very empty, some people have already made up their minds, in order to keep their heads and the black gauze hat on their heads first, it is better to have more liposuction here, not only can they have a good relationship with the palace, but also when they investigate corruption later, it will be easier to do it.
Therefore, they can be said to be full of energy, and they want to buy land stalls at a large price.
The starting price of these vases was one tael of silver, and all of them were sold for one thousand taels each.
This is a huge profit!
She admired Yan Xiling a little, and she fooled everyone so suddenly.
What kind of investigation for corruption is complete nonsense, Yan Qian is now difficult to even stabilize the court, and he has worked hard to manage these boundary affairs.
It's also a shame that he can pull it out, and it is reasonable, and she almost believes it.
Yan Xiling came in through the side door, and when she saw her lying on the edge of the window watching a good show, she couldn't help pinching her face and said, "You are watching it interesting now, what are you burning, this king was almost poisoned." ”
She let him pinch it casually and said, "Didn't the prince say that you can burn it no matter how unpalatable?" The concubine's body was burned according to your will. ”
Yan Xiling said: "This king didn't expect it to be so unpalatable, but this king is really a little hungry now, so please trouble Xiao Ning'er to cook." ”
"Evil is not disgusting," Meng Zhining stuck out her tongue, "The concubine body just heard someone say that the concubine's body is unpalatable." ”
"You know how to hold grudges." Yan Xiling said with a smile.
Meng Zhining was in a good mood, and suddenly had an income of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and she was very diligent in cooking a table of dishes for him, Yan Xiling said while eating: "Now that the cost is there, you and I will go out of the city tomorrow." ”
"Okay." She nodded.
In the evening, Steward Song gave her the account book and said, "Princess, this time the palace also has a use." ”
She took the account book, there were 400,000 taels of silver on it, these local tyrants were scrambling to spend money, the vases in front were already sold so expensive, not to mention the things in the back, the 400,000 was not much.
But the silver has been used for a long time, she put away the account book and washed up a little before going to bed, and tomorrow she has to go out of the city, so she must rest early.
To be continued......
