Chapter 323: The Business of the Dead
People are like this, I heard that the royal silk and satin are sold out, so they swarm over, and the rich people give themselves a show, showing off in front of people: Look, this is the silk used by the emperor and the mother, how expensive it is. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Those who have no money, looking at it from a distance, also seem to be cheap: obediently, it's finally a feast for the eyes, we can't see the emperor's mother, but the fabric of the clothes they wear is finally seen, it turns out to be so gorgeous, so bright, look at the front door Li shopkeeper, he bought five silk horses at once, can he wear it? The Internal Affairs Office is afraid of rotting in the treasury, why is he not afraid of rotting?
What the emperor didn't expect was that the silk imported from the Eastern Prince's Mansion was twice as expensive as the ordinary silk on the market, and the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Mansion reported that the cost price of the Weaving Mansion was thirty taels of silver for a piece of silk, and how much the Eastern Prince's Mansion sold, one hundred taels of silver for a horse.
The business of the East Prince's Mansion was closed after two months, and a total of more than 5,000 silk satins were sold.
In the early days of this day, Prime Minister Yang Tong suddenly proposed that the silk and satin of the Eastern Prince's Mansion into the imperial court were said to be sold in stock, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now also cheating, and the silk woven from Suzhou this year is also mixed in the inventory, which is fraud! This matter is not more avoided, for fear that it will form a tumor.
Yang Tong's words suddenly exploded among the ministers, and some people said that the Internal Affairs Office was playing ghosts, and it was only a few, and when the goods were shipped to the Dongwang Mansion, they could send someone to supervise them.
How much inventory can the Ministry of Internal Affairs have? Can you sell it close to the cloth village of Dongwangfu?
The two parties made the emperor Li Ju's head big, and the morning of this day was spent in the noise, Li Ju said: "Don't quarrel, tomorrow morning the court will bring relevant personnel and come over to ask." ā
On the morning of the second day, Su Man Chen Yao and the officials of the Internal Affairs Department came to the main hall together, Su Man Chen Yao and the officials of the Internal Affairs Office knelt on the main hall, and Su Man Chen Yao did not know the officials of the Internal Affairs Office.
"Yaoyao, it is said that your cloth village has entered the silk paid by the Weaving Mansion this year, is there such a thing?"
"Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know! Just ask Suman! ā
"Hmm!" Li Ju nodded, and Li Ju asked Su Man: "Su Man, do you know about this?" ā
"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids have never been to the Internal Affairs Mansion, they are all in the Dongwang Mansion to pick up the goods, the slaves and maids don't know, why the Internal Affairs Office wants to send new goods to our Dongwang Mansion, what is their purpose?"
Su Man's words made the ministers present talk again, yes, what purpose? The Internal Affairs Office delivered the goods to the Dongwang Mansion, and the people under the Dongwang Mansion were picking up the goods, even if they were ghosts, they were not qualified to speak?
"Suman!" Zhao Qingbao stood up, he was also in the opposition, stood on Yang Tong's side, and said to Su Man: "According to you, how to avoid this happening?" ā
"Go back to the prince!" Su Man said: "On the way here, Miss has already made a decision, and she can avoid this matter!" ā
"Oh?" The emperor leaned forward and said to Su Man: "What is your young lady's good plan?" ā
"Back to the emperor!" Su Man said: "Our young lady has decided to close down Dongwangfu Buzhuang!" ā
"Huh?" Li Ju was shocked, this was really unexpected, he would never have thought that Su Man would do this. Closed?
The ministers talked about it, and many people nodded, saying that it was a royal matter, and it was best not to interfere in the East Palace.
Su Man took out a stack of silver tickets from his body, raised them above his head, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the silver that we have earned in the East Wangfu in the past two months, and we will give it all to you, a total of more than 100,000 taels, please take a look at it!" ā
So much? The ministers were dumbfounded.
"Huh?" Li Ju's eyes widened and he said to Su Man, "What do you mean?" ā
"Our young lady said, things are like this, the money we earn in Dongwangfu is too much, and we don't dare to ask for it, we are all daughters, where have we ever encountered such a thing, originally I just wanted to do a small business and support my family. But I didn't expect that the emperor, we handed over all the silver to the treasury, and we would never enter the inventory of the Internal Affairs Office again. ā
The father-in-law stepped forward and brought the silver ticket to Li Ju, Li Ju didn't say a word, the scene quieted down all of a sudden, Yang Tong never thought that Su Man would make this decision and close it? Turning in the silver?
Such a complete show of weakness made Yang Tong a little uncomfortable, what would the ministers think? What will the common people think? said that he Yang Tong couldn't see the East Wangfu!
Yang Tong secretly admired in his heart, Su Man's move was clever, but it was worth it to curb the development of the East Palace.
Yang Xing refused Su Man's proposal and didn't want the shares of Dongwangfu, she and Yang Tong had already met, Yang Tong said: "Silver is not silver, the matter is small, do you understand this?" ā
Yang Tong's palm was down, leaning on his waist, Yang Xing suddenly understood that Yang Tong was referring to Li Si.
Su Man's thoughts, although Yang Tong didn't expect it, but his mind of taking precautions made Yang wake up.
Now that Yang Tong has raised this question, he naturally has his purpose, and there are many people who are interested in the Dongwangfu cloth business, and they are naturally unconvinced.
But, however, there are ministers who are thinking about it, is it moral to do it themselves? Look at the women in the Dongwang Mansion who forced them to hand over the silver in fear, it's really pitiful, hey!
Su Man's next words caught all the people present by surprise, Su Man said.
"Your Majesty, our young lady has a request!"
"Speak!"
"Our young lady said that there are more than 3,000 acres of land in Zhennan Wangfu and need someone to manage it, and our young lady wants to move to the grange and let the slaves and maids lead people to manage it, so that the daily expenses of Dongwangfu can be regarded as having hope."
"What?" Li Ju stood up in shock, he walked to the stage and said to Su Man: "You talk about it again, I heard it right!" You let you, um, Yaoyao, you want to go to the Grange? ā
Su Man and Chen Yao knelt underneath and didn't speak.
At this moment, Yang Tong stood up and said in his mouth.
"Niangniang, as the prince's person, it is a special case for you to move out of the East Palace, and now you are going to the Grange again, where do you save the royal face?"
Su Man Chen Yao did not answer.
"Speak, Suman, you say!" Li Ju said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister!" Su Man said: "Our young lady is timid, she is afraid of death!" ā
"Afraid of death? Who dares to kill the mother? Prime Minister Yang Tong said, and the ministers hurriedly echoed.
"Yes, yes, who dares to return the mother?"
Su Man glanced at Chen Yao, Chen Yao coughed dryly twice, and the sound of everyone talking stopped, knowing that Chen Yao was about to speak.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have not been able to rest assured because of Su Man's affairs, my lords, Su Man has followed the slave and maid for many years, and has won the trust of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were almost beaten to death in the days when the slave and maid left the harem!"
The ministers below looked at each other, and they already knew about the matter in the harem, but they just didn't talk about it.
"So the slave maid thought, let's go back to the East Palace, go back to their own mother's house to live, this time we should rest assured, but I never thought that the hidden mother in the house, there is a habit, before the masters eat, she has to pay for a bite, saying that it is to test the poison, the slave has always thought that the hidden mother is delicious, and thought, at such an old age, eat some of it, but I didn't expect that the hidden mother really tried to poison, and someone actually poisoned the porridge sent by the emperor, the slave and the maid didn't understand, who did we offend in the East Palace? forced the slave and maid's family to die, and now they want to put the slave and the mother and son to death? Slave maid,"
Chen Yao was excited, tears fell, and Su Man hurriedly interrupted Chen Yao's words.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, the slave will lead the young lady to retire!" Su Man said to the emperor, and then to Chen Yao: "Miss, above this court, it is a place to discuss the major affairs of the country, how can we tell the mother-in-law here about Chen Sesame and rotten grain?" Miss, let's go back! ā
"The slave maid wants to go to the Grange, and please ask the emperor for permission!" Chen Yao cried.
Li Ju paced slowly and returned to his seat, he looked at Chen Yao, not knowing what to say.
"I,"
Li Ju looked at the ministers, trying to find someone who could speak, but all the ministers lowered their heads, it was Prime Minister Yang Tong, also like a plague chicken, there with his eyebrows lowered, it can be said that today's result is that he Yang Tong won, but Yang Tong can't be happy, as the victorious side, what did he get? It's as if there's more to lose than to gain.
And what about Chen Yao? lost the money, but she got the hearts of the people, she repeatedly showed weakness, and now she suddenly fought back, talking about the death of her mother, but she couldn't say that it was their Yang family, and she couldn't say that Queen Yang Xing was the main messenger, but the East Wangfu was raided, and she also said that the two were connected together, which was terrible, what did the minister think? What does the emperor think?
Yang Tong's heart was gray, he looked at Su Man, and thought to himself, if this person is not removed, I am afraid that he will become a stumbling block to the Yang Mansion in the future, but if you want to get rid of her, how easy is it?
