A lowest-level palace person has a consistent monthly money, and festivals are said to have rewards, as well as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are always 20 times a year. This is the lowest-level palace person, and there are even more of those big and small managers, and of course the most are the concubines.

If these people don't continue to be abolished, the annual expenses of these people will be more than 300,000 yuan, not to mention that the Taigong will inevitably have to hold some banquets or something, and the expenses will be indispensable.

After Chao Yong heard Xiaoqing talk about this account, he immediately said: "Continue to lay off personnel, more than 10,000 palace people are too many, let's keep 1,000 eunuchs and 2,000 palace maids first." ”

Xiaoqing said: "But the rest don't want to leave the palace, how to cut?" ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "Everyone over the age of forty should leave the palace, and the older ones can give more money." ”

"There are not many people over forty, and Zhao Ji will let the older palace people out of the palace every year."

In this way, there are more than 10,000 people in the palace, more than 6,000 palace maids, and all of them are young women, and all the people who can enter the palace are people with superior appearance.

Chao Yong's first feeling was not happiness, but fear, so many hungry women waiting for the emperor to favor him, no wonder the emperor ** did not live long since ancient times, and he died of exhaustion.

Hu Sanniang said: "I'm afraid the rest of the people don't have much money, if they are forcibly expelled from the palace and can't find their families, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Half of the people who left the palace have saved a lot of money, and half of them have been in the palace for a few years. Most of the people who don't want to leave the palace have no savings themselves, or they have been in the palace for many years and have forgotten about life outside and dare not go outside. ”

Chao Yong frowned and said: "I can't afford it, most of the generals from Liangshan have not got married, and there are no people in the house, the commander of the thousand men will give ten palace maids and five eunuchs, and the captain of ten thousand will give twenty palace maids and ten eunuchs." Most of my 1,000 relatives and soldiers have not started a family, and they have a lot of money, and each of them gives a palace maid as a wife and a maidservant, and they do it themselves. By the way, another thousand literate palace maids and eunuchs will be selected. ”

Xiao Qingqi said: "What does the prince want to be a literate palace person? ”

"Make money, raise your family. With so many mouths waiting to eat, Prince Ben is under a lot of pressure. ”

When the beauties saw Chao Yong's sad face, they couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Jingqiu said with a smile: "Many palace maids are from official eunuchs, and there are a lot of literate eunuchs, but there are not many literate eunuchs. ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Then there will be more palace maids and fewer eunuchs." ”

Xiao Qing pinched his fingers and counted for a while, and said: "Even if you reward 3,000 people and choose 1,000 literate ones, in the end, you will have to leave 3,000 people, or 3,000 more." What to do with these 3,000 people? ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "Born in Tokyo, Jingdong, Hebei, and Gyeonggi regions, you can find out all the family members out of the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, a plump woman next to her knelt down and begged: "The slave family is willing to serve the prince for the slave and the maid, please don't drive me out of the palace." ”

Chao Yong was condescending, and what he saw was Bai Huahua's chest, and said strangely: "Why don't you want to go home?" ”

"The slave family is the concubine of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the family may not dare to take it in, and the slave family also wants to serve the prince."

Chao Yong saw that this charming beauty said that she wanted to serve herself, and she couldn't pick her anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up, then you can stay in the palace." ”

"Prince Xie."

Xiaoqing looked at Chao Yong like this, and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of people who don't want to leave, what should I do?" ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "You don't need to rush, ask those who are willing to be my Daliang soldiers as wives, and give them to the meritorious soldiers when they don't want to, and stay in the palace if they don't want to." ”

Chao Yong has hundreds of years of knowledge, and he is the prince of Daliang, so he still doesn't believe that he can't support these people. Ruo Xiaoqing said: "But the money in the palace is not enough." ”

"I have already asked my father for 1 million yuan, and I will go back and stay in the palace for 100,000 yuan, and I will issue a ticket number for the rest to make money to support these people."

While speaking, Chao San had already come to report: "Prince, the emperor has rewarded one million yuan, which has been transported outside the palace." ”

Xiaoqing heard a million yuan, and immediately said excitedly: "It's a lot of money, I want to see it." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Then you lead people to bring in all the money, I don't want to look at it, no matter how much money there is, it's still a pile of copper and iron." ”

Xiaoqing was not affected by Chao Yong's words, and ran out quickly.

After a short time, the eunuch brought lunch.

Chao Yong looked at the small table and said with a smile: "I won't keep you." ”

The concubines were also smart people, and although they were a little disappointed, they still left.

Hu Sanniang waited for everyone to leave, and said with a smile: "How is it?" There are a lot of women who are more beautiful than the slave family. ”

Chao Yong nodded solemnly and said, "Today, I know how many beauties there are." ”

Hu Sanniang had long been accustomed to Chao Yong's jokes, so she glanced at Chao Yong and said, "Then why don't you leave two of them to eat with you." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Sanniang is already beautiful and delicious, and if there are two more people, I don't have to eat." Besides, this is Sanniang's place, how dare you keep other women for your husband. ”

Hu Sanniang was also very happy to see Chao Yong respecting her so much, and said with a smile: "Don't come to me tonight." ”

Chao Yongqi said: "Why? ”

"I want to breastfeed my child, and my husband can't sleep well. And the queen mother has already told me that I want you to give birth to the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, and I can't dominate you alone. I heard from my sister-in-law that I had just given birth, and I was afraid that I would not be able to conceive for a while. ”

Chao Yong suddenly said: "What if I give birth to hundreds of sons?" ”

Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong dumbfounded, with a mouthful of rice in her mouth.

Chao Yong smiled: "Just think about it, just think about it." ”

Hu Sanniang was stunned for a while before swallowing the rice.

She knows that Chao Yong is not joking, I am afraid that he really has that idea, and his husband seems to really have that strength, because his strength is greater than ten people, and his body is much stronger than ordinary people, so he is even much bigger.

Hu Sanniang nodded and said: "There is no shortage of women in the palace, if the prince really gives birth to so many sons, I am afraid that the father and the queen mother will be very happy." ”

This time it was Chao Yong's turn to look at Hu Sanniang dumbfounded.

"You don't have any other ideas?"

Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong with a smile and said, "No, I heard them say that these palace maids were originally prepared for the emperor, if they can be favored by the emperor, or give birth to a child for the emperor, they can get the title, and they don't have to be subordinates." They are all poor people, and I will be happy if you can make them all concubines. However, the general emperor has limited energy, and he can't be fortunate with a few palace maids, but the husband is not a mortal, I am optimistic about you. ”

Chao Yong looked at Hu Sanniang, who had no jealousy, and said stupidly: "I will work hard." ”
