Chapter 456: Reform the Harem
Jing Chuchu was helpless, although she cut the lives of the concubines a lot, but the benefits for them were better, so that most of them could be guaranteed, and the concubines with high status as before could get more silver, while the concubines with a slightly lower status who were not favored even had a problem with food and clothing.
Concubine Xian just threw the usage manual, only to find that although the queen subtracted most of the concubines' silver, added a lot of thin frames, and swept it down at a glance, all the concubines were treated almost the same, and the concubines with higher status were just a little more than those people.
"Queen Mother, the harem is divided into three, six, nine and so on, just so that those who have the ability and ability can enjoy more honor, but isn't the queen mother doing this to make those who are loyal to the emperor feel cold?"
Jing Chuchu almost squinted at her: "Are you sure that the right to give you high-ranking concubines willfulness is an affirmation of your loyalty to the emperor?" According to what you are saying now, aren't all those low-ranking concubines loyal to the emperor? ”
If it weren't for the wrong timing, she would have wanted to send out the concubines who were trapped in the palace and had to stay here, so that they could live the life they wanted.
"You just think that as a concubine, you are different from others, and you want to enjoy more treatment, if every concubine is the same as you think, then don't care about the harem?"
Since Jing Chuchu has put a lot of effort into formulating these rules, he will definitely not regress easily.
"The queen's mother doing this will make many concubines feel cold." Concubine Xian, you want to fight for some more rights and interests for yourself, but the queen doesn't look like that's easy to discuss, there is no way, even if she has the heart, she can't say anything.
"Concubine Xian, the things decided by this palace will not be changed, if you feel wronged, you can go to the emperor to appeal for grievances."
Concubine Xian was a little angry: "It's really unfair for the mother to say this, knowing that the emperor loves the queen the most, let's go to the emperor and say bad things about the queen mother, isn't it boring to talk about the queen, in this way, the queen is really a good calculation." ”
Jing Chuchu spread his hands: "What do you think, anyway, the palace has already said that it is impossible to change it, and the rules set will be done like this, and from now on, the entire palace, starting from the palace, will follow the rules." ”
The distribution of expenses in the palace is not fair, rich and oily, hungry and cold, when the concubine is there, she looks like a concubine, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she asks for food.
Concubine Xian also wanted to find the queen mother to fight for a little tolerance in life, but the queen mother was not close to people at all.
This made her very angry.
Su Jin stood up at this time: "Concubine Xian, the things formulated by the queen mother have been approved by the emperor, and the emperor has nodded in agreement, if the mother thinks that there is something wrong, you can consult with the emperor." ”
It is obvious that she has already received a reply from the emperor, so she will bully the concubines in the harem so much, and the queen's move is too insidious.
"If the queen insists on going her own way, presumably the harem concubines will definitely not sit still."
Concubine Xian was very angry and angry, and every time she opened her mouth, she didn't dare to say it.
She knows that even the queen mother doesn't dare to provoke the queen easily now, if she is just a little concubine, and the queen is angry, then go to the emperor, anyway, she can't escape from the strong, so she won't feel uncomfortable.
Concubine Xian left unwillingly, and Jing Chuchu just shook her head helplessly.
"Niangniang, Concubine Xian may be used to the days of heaven, so if she subtracts more than half of her silver taels at once, she will not be happy in her heart, and it will always be fine after a while."
"Su Jin, I understand what you said, the first cutting will definitely cause many people unpleasant, but since I have already planned to do it, I am not ready to compromise with anyone, besides, I am afraid that except for those concubines who have opinions on this matter, other people will definitely not have ideas."
Lu Zhu agreed with what she said: "The queen mother is thoughtful, although she has only gone to the use of high-ranking concubines, but more people have benefited. ”
The palace is not a fair place, but the queen tries to take care of everyone.
"Palace maids, eunuchs, although we have two sets of clothes to change every season, in the end, some people may not even be able to take one set, an old dress can be worn for several years, and other uses can not be mentioned, but now after the reform, whether it is a newcomer or an old man, everyone can guarantee that they get two sets of new clothes every season, and in the case of their monthly money, there are some additional rewards, which not only make them more serious and responsible, but also have greater positivity."
She just adopted some modern incentive methods, and there will be rewards for doing good things, regardless of newcomers and old people, nor between officials and officials, as long as they do their jobs well, there will be a certain reward every month.
"Niangniang, the minions of Kunning Palace follow Niangniang, there is no shortage of food and drink, although now they have not as many things as before, but they are all the same as outside, no one is more noble than anyone." Lu Zhu just wanted to tell the queen that now Kunning Palace has the same level of food and clothing as other palaces.
"I can understand what you said, as the queen, the palace naturally has to lead by example, and we don't care about other people's food and clothing, but the palace has to do things according to my new rules, no matter who it is, it can't be overstepped, otherwise it will be a big rebellion."
She refines all the rules and regulations, and although she offends a small number of people, she favors most people.
"Niangniang, in the palace, not only some concubines can also pay additional advance wages if they encounter difficulties, but even those concubines who are not favored can also apply for some subsidies for the family, which was a secret and disgraceful thing in the past, but now everyone can send the money home in a dignified manner."
Lu Zhu didn't dare to think that when he did these things before, he had to be sneaky, for fear of being caught and punished.
"What's the lack of anything about this, besides, those old people who have been in the palace for many years, if the family really encounters difficulties, they should subsidize them, and the convenience of others is convenient for themselves, those concubines are not short of food and drink, and they take so much money every month, and they don't know where to spend it, in the end, it is a waste."
Jing Chuchu just wanted to reform the rules and regulations in the palace, so that everyone could spend every penny as much as possible.
"Niangniang, should the previous dynasty let the emperor reform it, and the ministers will also ...... it" Lu Zhu had a whim.
Jing Chuchu rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think the position of the queen of this palace is too stable?" The harem is a family affair of the emperor and belongs to the jurisdiction of the palace, but if you move the ministers of the previous dynasty, try to see if you will shed your skin? ”
