I only heard Tan Weixin say slowly: "With the agreement between your two countries on the procedure of this marriage ceremony, one month after the wedding ceremony, the mission of Chunnan Kingdom will return to China. And in the entire Golden Valley Garden, there will be a lot of people left to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess. If you have a job, you have to have a salary, that's a matter of course. At that time, the expenses of these people will be included in the expenses of the Inner Treasury. Does the princess know how many of them there are? It's better to have a charter in advance for this matter. ”

Chang Hongquan, who was eavesdropping outside, was stunned, not to mention Chang Ling, who has always cared about things, even if he didn't care about things at once, he might not be able to answer it all of a sudden, but he only knew that the people who would stay at that time would have such a list in the hands of which subordinate officials.

Chang Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "How do I know this?" ”

Tan Weixin said jokingly: "Okay, this matter will be discussed later." There's one more thing I want to talk to the princess. The expenses of the members of the Dongping royal family are roughly divided into several parts, the first is the maintenance of the residence, the second is the personnel expenses, the second is the daily living regulations, and the last is a part of the cash, which can be used at will. Since it is planned that Her Royal Highness the Princess will live in Jingu Garden in the future, in fact, in terms of expenses, it is compared to the way we children, including Prince Dongping, are handled. A sum of money will be divided into annuity and monthly two pieces to the account of Dejin Valley Garden, and everything will be left to Her Royal Highness the princess to decide. Whether it is the renovation of the courtyard or the personnel expenses, it is all assigned by Her Royal Highness the princess herself. I'm just here to ask today, Her Royal Highness the princess is going to pay this fee on this piece, and according to what level? ”

Chang Hongquan looked at Tan Xiaopei in surprise, and Tan Xiaopei nodded helplessly. Chang Hongquan now understands that if he wants to rectify Chang Ling, I'm afraid there is no better way than this. Chang Ling can be said to be completely ignorant of these things. And with Chang Ling's extravagance and lack of moderation, I am afraid that it is very likely that the cost of a year will be spent in half a year. At that time, in the hands of Tan Weixin, who is in charge of the expenses of the inner treasury, I don't know how to be repaired.

Chang Ling had never worried about this kind of thing. When I was in Chunnanguo, I took a fancy to something, what I wanted to do, and if I had money in my house, I would use it, and when I had no money, I would just open my mouth to my parents, and naturally there would be a sum of silver for nothing. For Tan Weixin's question, she had to open her eyes wide, not knowing how to answer.

Tan Weixin seemed to have expected this situation, she said with a smile: "Dongping Palace, father, mother, plus the two concubines, the annual expenses are one million taels and slightly less. Of course, the expenses of the forbidden army are hung on the books of the Ministry of War. This is not very informative. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the total expenditure last year was more than 500,000 taels, and in my house, although I took medicine well, it was only a little more than 300,000 taels, and the remaining two younger brothers and my little sister, the three of them together probably spent less than 500,000 taels a year. In that case, I'll prepare it for you at a share of 600,000 taels per year, okay? ”

For Chang Ling, this sounds like a very large number, especially in terms of share, which exceeds that of Prince Dongping, thinking that it should be very sufficient, right? Chang Ling nodded without thinking.

Chang Ling nodded, and Chang Hongquan secretly screamed that it was not good. The cost of the Dongping royal family is low, because they are not good at pomp and circumstance, and they do not have any extravagant hobbies. There are only more than 100 people up and down the Prince Tan Weiming Mansion, and the staff of Tan Weixin's Princess Mansion has been reduced to only about 40 people, which is less than those wealthy businessmen. But Chang Ling will live in a place like Jinguyuan in the future, and there will be more than 200 servants, female officials and guards who will stay in Dongping up and down. This expenditure is by no means on a notch.

Sure enough, Tan Weixin's tone changed sharply and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you know that you owe me at least 30 to 500,000 taels of silver a year?" ”

Chang Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "How come?" ”

Tan Weixin was not in a hurry, she smiled and said, "What I just said should be a joke." Please also give me a figure on how much you are going to spend each year before the Chungnam mission leaves. Of course, don't go too far, if there is any trespassing, I will definitely be ruthless and cut off unnecessary expenses. Or...... All the expenses of your Jingu Garden do not follow the rules of Dongping, everything goes through me, and the money that should be given will not be saved, but don't expect the inexplicable accounts to be able to get by in my hands. In other words, it's up to me to decide what kind of life you can live. ”

Tan Weixin's determined tone made Chang Ling instantly angry again, she stood up on the ground and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess today, you are just talking about these irrelevant things?" ”

Tan Weixin said lightly: "Isn't it irrelevant? I'm afraid of hurting your self-esteem, so I haven't made it clear for a long time. In addition to being coquettish, you should really have some other skills. You might as well say it clearly, you are in your Chunnan, you can naturally do what you want, and no one cares about you. But in Dongping, in Danyang, it's not that cheap. Before you want to establish power, it is best to weigh it clearly, the marriage between the two countries is the interests of the country, and at this time, whether you live well or not will not have any effect. If you want to make your princess pie in someone else, I will use the same method to get it back in you. I'm talking ahead, don't blame me for not giving you face when the time comes. Of course, if you feel that you are not having a good time, go back to your father and queen mother and cry, and let you return to China once every five years to save your relatives, but I will not save this travel expenses. When the time comes, you might as well not have to come back. ”

Overhearing this, Tan Xiaopei sighed and pulled Chang Hongquan away. With his father's understanding of Tan Weixin, this Liwei is about to end, Tan Weixin may come out at any time, if he meets him in this place, it will be interesting.

Walking out of a paragraph silently, Tan Xiaopei said to Chang Hongquan: "...... The little girl was born with a noble background, and she was clothed and fed since she was a child, and her health was not good, so everyone couldn't help but spoil her. In fact, her temperament, after getting along for a long time, will find it quite interesting. ......" As he spoke, Tan Xiaopei and Chang Hongquan both felt that this sentence didn't seem quite right, vaguely what Chang Hongquan said to Tan Xiaopei just now changed the person who spoke. The two looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
