Qifujin was taken aback, "Huh? This, this ......"

"This" twice, stammering, unable to continue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Oh my God! How could the Queen Mother know about this?

There was a confusion in my mind: Could it be that there was someone in the house......

That's it, an even more terrible thought came to mind: Will the Queen Mother think that I am bribing the people around her?

For a moment, I was at a loss, and my face was red and white.

The reaction of the concubine, Emperor Zhang came to this, Ci was relieved and couldn't bear it, and said warmly: "Don't worry too much, this matter was told to me by Meng Jingzhong himself." ”

Yes?

Qifujin's face, "brushed", all red.

"'Thin water flows,' Ci'an said calmly, "he must have told you the same, right?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Qifujin settled down and said in a low voice, "The lesson of the Queen Mother, the concubine dare not forget......"

Ci'an stared at Qifujin for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's good-you're here now, you're generally relieved, let's have two concubines, and we can talk calmly." ”

Qifujin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: when he saluted, he was in a mood and called himself a "slave maid", and Fang Cai's self-proclaimed was a "concubine".

There is nothing wrong with calling herself a "slave" in front of the queen mother, but Fu Jin is the wife of a pro-county king, and generally speaking, it will be more decent to call herself a "concubine".

The reason why Ci'an said, "You are generally relieved now", is referring to this.

Of course, although Qifujin is still "Fujin", it is not the "wife of the county king".

Qifujin's face turned red again, and he snorted twice, unable to say anything.

"The reason why we want to 'trickle the water and flow for a long time,'" Ci'an said, "I am sincerely planning for you and Lao Qi in the future." Lao Qi has changed the lord, and the county king's five thousand taels of silver a year, and five thousand Hu of Lu rice are gone; All the missing points on the body have been opened, and all those 'food and silver' are gone. What is the little money and food of the idle sect enough to eat? - You're not a small family! ”

After a slight pause, "Taiping Lake is such a big mansion, up and down the big family, if you don't plan to get up seriously, it won't be long before you have to sit and eat!" - How did you get that? ”

It's really "really planning for you and Lao Qi in the future".

Qifujin was grateful in her heart, she leaned over and whispered: "The queen mother is concerned and meticulous, and the concubines are ...... Thanksgiving. ”

"The Zhuangzi you mentioned," said Ci'an, "I don't think they can be relied upon!" Guan Zhuofan once told me that the harvest of Huangzhuang is not good, and your Zhuangzi is about the same, right? ”

"Uh, yes." Qifujin said, "Zhuangzi's affairs, the people below don't pay much attention, Yiyun that person, the Queen Mother knows, these things, he doesn't understand very much; As for me, three festivals a year, looking at the list handed over from below, there are fewer and fewer things on it, and I am in a hurry, but there is no good way. ”

"That's it." Ci'an said, "Guan Zhuofan said that he is thinking about rectification - he will first use his own Zhuangzi as a 'pilot', and if it is completed, he will promote it to other imperial villages." When the time comes, the Zhuangzi of the princes can also ...... Well, 'according to the law'. ”

Qifu Jin said happily: "That dare is good!" Yi Xuan's great ability, his method, must be excellent. ”

"Huangzhuang, how many years have that been a chronic illness," Ci'an sighed, "When Emperor Wenzong was there, he frowned when he mentioned it. Guan Zhuofan's 'pilot', even if it is effective, when it is promoted, I am afraid that it will not be a matter of a year and a half. ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

"I know what the seventh man is," Ci'an said, "I'm a little confused, but I haven't heard that he has taken unclear money, I think, although he has been a messenger for a few years, your family doesn't necessarily have too much savings, right?" ”

"Yes," Qifujin said softly, "Queen Mother Mingjian." ”

"So, you really have to plan to get up!"

After a pause, Ci'an continued, "Actually, according to my meaning, once Yiyun has been relieved of his knighthood, he may not live in Taiping Lake anymore, and if he changes to a smaller house, the expenses can be much less, isn't it?" Do you want to live, don't you dare to put on those useless pomp and circumstance, slap your swollen face and become fat! ”

Qifujin's heart jumped, and he said, "In this case, the concubine asks for an order-"

Ci'an shook his head and said, "You don't have to 'ask for an order' - I mean this, I told Guan Zhuofan, he doesn't agree. ”

After a pause, "The military plane did not agree either." ”

Guan Zhuofan disagrees, and "on the military plane" naturally disagrees, the question is, why does Guan Zhuofan disagree?

Qifujin was a little confused.

"That's what the concubine thinks," Qifujin said tentatively, "Now it's not as good as before, and many people in the mansion are useless, for example, those people who follow Yiyun out on weekdays?" When the concubines go back, they can make a good plate, but if they can't be useful, if they can find another way out, ask them to find another way out - in this way, you can save a lot of money. ”

"This is good," Ci'an nodded in agreement, "You don't have to put on a show, you really don't have to put on a show." ”

"Yes," said Qifujin, "the concubine respectfully obeys the precepts!" It's just, uh, a lot of children......"

"This is easy to do," Ci'an said, "but if you can't send anyone who is useless, and you can't send them away, you can give me a bill, and I will give it to Guan Zhuofan, and ask him to settle it for you." ”

Qifujin stood up and was deeply blessed: "Thank you for the queen mother!" ”

"You sit."

After sitting down, Qifujin said: "The concubine remembered another thing - the villa in Haidian is actually useless anymore, it is in the hands of the concubine, and it has to be guarded, maintained, and cleaned, in vain...... Uh, the concubine asked the queen mother for a show, this, is it asking the court to take it back and do something else? ”

Ci'an thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll agree to this matter for you, and I'll just ask the Internal Affairs Office to do it, Haidian Villa, no better than Taiping Lake Mansion, Guan Zhuofan, you don't have to talk to him." ”

After a pause, he praised: "That's right - this is what life looks like!" ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

"As the saying goes, 'open source and reduce expenditure'," Ci'an said, "What we just said is 'throttling', even if you send away irrelevant people, your family still has dozens of mouths, no matter how much you save, it is not enough, if you want to feed them all, you have to 'open source'." ”

Qifujin was slightly stunned: Where do I have any way to "open source"?

"This, concubine...... I don't understand much, please ask the Queen Mother to admonish. ”

"The 'Feng'en Fund' is there," Ci'an said, "and Yiyun also has a 'favor', which is also 5,000 taels a year......

Qifujin's heart jumped.

However, she immediately wondered: Yi Xun has already been dismissed.

"The money from the 'Feng'en Fund'," Ci'an seemed to know what she was wondering about, "It's not from the treasury, although Lao Qi has been dismissed, this 'favor' can not be affected." ”

paused slightly, "This is what Guan Zhuofan said." ”

In the past, five thousand taels of silver a year was naturally not a big deal for a prince with a lot of bad grades, but now it is different - five thousand taels of silver a year is not a small amount!

Qifujin was truly grateful in her heart, she stood up, blessed a blessing, and said: "The queen mother's grace is beyond the qualifications, and the concubines are grateful!" ”

After a pause, "I also want to thank Xie Yixuan, Yiyun treated him like this, and he still ...... Alas! It's so embarrassing that people don't know what to say! ”

"Guan Zhuofan is indeed quite atmospheric."

"Yes, yes!"

"In addition to the 'Bong'en Fund,'" Ci'an said, "there is also your family's 70,000 taels of silver in the 'Clan Bank'......"

Qifujin said softly "ouch" and said, "The queen mother didn't mention it, the concubines didn't remember this matter!" ”

When the clan bank recruited "private capital" from the clan, Guan Zhuofan used the names of Princess Rong'an and Princess Dunrou to pay 100,000 taels of silver for the two queen mothers. In this way, since the queen mother is setting an example, the clans will naturally follow up whether they are willing or not.

However, the "model" of 100,000 taels of the queen mother was placed there, and the people behind her could not "exceed the qualifications", so the following unspoken rules were soon formed: 80,000 taels for the prince, 70,000 taels for the county king, 60,000 taels for Baylor, 50,000 taels for Beizi, 30,000 taels for the Zhenguo Gong, 20,000 taels for the auxiliary Guogong, and below the auxiliary Guogong, including the idle clan, 20,000 taels to 5,000 taels, according to their own means.

"I know you don't remember," Ci'an smiled slightly, "Since the 'return of the family property' naturally includes the share capital of 70,000 silver." ”

After a pause, "Guan Zhuofan said that the share capital of 70,000 silver, even today, with interest, is about 80,000 or 90,000 silver." ”

Qifujin said softly again, "This ...... It's only been about a year, right? Only...... So much? ”

"Yes," Ci'an nodded, "Guan Zhuofan said that originally, according to the articles of association, the share capital of the clan bank can only pay dividends and cannot withdraw shares - unless the entire clan bank is closed. However, Yiyun's situation is more special, this share capital can be refunded with interest, you go back and discuss it with Lao Qi to see if you want to ......"

Qifujin hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, there is no need to discuss with him, the concubine herself can call the shots - naturally she will not withdraw her shares!" Uh, that's ...... An old hen that lays golden eggs! ”

Ci'an smiled, "That's interesting—yes, it's a golden egg...... Old hens. ”

After a pause, "Let's go back to the 'Bong Eun Fund'." You probably know that in addition to the 'Grace', the 'Feng'en Fund' also has dividends, but this dividend only extends to relatives, county kings, and a few relatives and nobles......"

Qifujin's heart jumped again.

Ci'an's "dividends" do not have a fixed number, sometimes more, sometimes less; Some people have more, some people have fewer people - in a word, it all depends on someone's happiness.

This dividend, Yi Xun also took it, but the amount is not large, every year, it is five or six thousand taels.

However, there are those who take more, such as King Gong and King Rui. The clans privately rumored that Gong and Rui would be able to get tens of thousands of taels of silver from the "Feng'en Fund" in a year.

"I'll talk to Guan Zhuofan," Ci'an said, "Let's see if Yiyun's share can be retained like the example of 'Grace'." ”

Qifujin's brain "buzzed" slightly, and she stood up again and left her seat to thank her.

"Alright, alright," Ci'an said with a smile, "you don't stand up, squat, stand up, sit down, I look at it, my head is a little dizzy." ”

After a pause, "Add these few sums of money together, plus the income on the Zhuangzi, you husband and wife, save a little more, I estimate that this day will be able to go on." ”

"The queen mother and queen mother are blessed with heaven and earth, and the concubines are in the afterlife...... The knot of grass and the ring can't be repaid! ”

"There's no need to say anything like that anymore," said Tzu An, "well, back to ...... Three hundred taels of silver. ”

Qifujin's face changed again: "Concubine...... Ridiculous. ”

"It's not ridiculous," said Ci'an, "in the past, a reward was three hundred taels, which was quite pleasant, but now you are different from the past, and you don't dare to spend money according to the previous score!" ”

"Yes, concubine...... Ashamed. ”

"Also," Ci'an said slowly, "it's not all about saving. ”

"Please admonish the Queen Mother."

"You know," Ci'an said calmly, "On weekdays, I don't usually punish people in the palace, but the rewards I get from me are not much. ”

"Well, the Queen Mother is generous and gracious, and the palace is up and down, all ......"

"Listen to me."

"Yes, yes."

"Your sister's style is not quite the same as mine, the punishment is heavy, and the reward is also heavy."

"Uh, yes......"

"Two approaches," said Ci'an, "it's hard to say, which is better, but—"

After a pause, "Sometimes, the reward is too heavy, once or twice, and it's okay, but if there are too many times, the appetite of the people under the head will be bigger." ”

Qifujin vaguely guessed what the Queen Mother was going to say, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up again.

"An Dehai," said Ci'an, "isn't it just a ...... Lessons from the past? ”

"Yes, yes!"

Qifujin's back is cold.

"This dynasty is not as good as the previous Ming, and the eunuchs are restrained, and they are extremely strict, so-"

Speaking of which, Ci'an stopped.

Qifujin couldn't sit still any longer, and she stood up again: "The concubine is really ridiculous!" Now, I really know that I am wrong, and the concubine pleads guilty with the queen mother! ”

"Alright," Ci'an smiled, "It's not a big deal, in the future, just keep an eye on it." ”

"Yes, the concubine will obey Yi's order!"

"I just talked about your sister - well, didn't you say that you wanted to come with me to Tianjin to see her?"

"Yes......"

"Okay, in two days, I'm going to Tianjin, you can accompany me and go together!"
