Chapter 25 Receiving the Moon Silver
"Boss, it's time to receive this month's moon silver!" Father-in-law Liu came to remind me early in the morning.
I asked, "Where?" ”
Gonggong Liu said: "In the treasury, on the first day of each month, the head of each palace receives the moon silver in the treasury, and on the second day of the new year, the head of the month will distribute the moon silver to the palace people in their respective palaces. ”
"Oh! That's right! Then how much silver do we have to receive in Shangqing Palace? How much does each palace person send? ”
Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "This little one is not clear!" ”
Then, he stretched out four fingers and said, "I only know that the little one gets four taels a month, hehe!" ”
"Then how do I know how much silver I have to receive! If you don't receive it, you won't get it, and you won't starve to death anyway! ”
"Alas, don't! An is in charge, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, why do you have to rely on these few taels of silver per month as slaves! Some time ago, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give you a few account books, which are recorded on them, don't you know if you go and see them? ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "That's right, there should be a record in the account books!" ”
Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "That slave retreated first, fortunately you are in charge." ”
I opened the account book and looked at it......
There are 50 palace people recorded in it, and 10 first-class palace people, each of whom has three taels per month; There are 15 second-class palace people, each with two taels per month; There are 25 people in the third-class palace, one tael per person per month; plus Mama and Gonggong Liu, each of them has four taels per month; Well...... And me and Feng Shu, the previous Li was in charge of five taels a month, so I am also five taels, how much does Feng Shu receive!?
There is no record of the monthly silver received by Mu Xu in the account book, how can I check it? Well...... Just set him four taels, but he can't be higher than me!
In this way, it is a total of one hundred and two taels. Then I walked to the storeroom.
Out of Shangqing Palace, go to the left, and you will arrive after three palace gates.
The heads of the palaces had already arrived here, lined up, and I waited at the back of the line, and after a while, it finally arrived at me.
The father-in-law in charge asked, "Which palace are you from?" ”
I replied, "Shangqing Palace, we have a total of one hundred and two taels." ”
The father-in-law asked, "What about the credentials?" ”
I asked, "What credentials?" ”
My father-in-law looked at me with wide eyes and said, "What? You don't even know the credentials, and you dare to come here to get the moon silver? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Where's the wild girl! ”
I anxiously asked, "What kind of credentials?" No one told me that I had to give a voucher to receive the moon silver! ”
"Look at ......!"
My father-in-law took out a voucher for receiving moonsilver from other palaces, and put a pestle on my face, I stepped back, took it and looked at it, and it said the number of people in the palace, the amount of moonsilver received by each person, and the total number of moonsilver.
I said, "What's the difference between that and what I said, I just didn't write it down on paper!" ”
The father-in-law took away the credentials and said, "The difference is huge!" How do I know if you are pretending to be ...... if you see it", the father-in-law pointed to the seals on the vouchers, "This is the seal of the masters of each palace, we can only give you the moon silver if we have the seal!" ”
"Oh, father-in-law, you can do it! I don't want to run for nothing...... I begged my father-in-law's hand, "You see that this is the first time I have come to receive the moon silver, and I don't know the rules, so give it to me!" ”
My father-in-law shook off my hand and said, "Go, go!" I've never seen you so dead-faced! This rule was set by the emperor, why didn't the family have the courage to break this rule! If you don't have a credential, you don't want to get the moon silver! ”
"Good, good! I'm going to draw up the credentials! ”
It's infuriating! Why didn't Grandpa Liu tell me in advance! Cause me to run for nothing......
I hurried back, wrote on the paper the amount of silver each person received, and now that the seal was missing, I hurried to take the voucher and went to the prince's brother's courtyard.
Feng Shu was practicing boxing in the courtyard, and he saw me and said, "Didn't Your Highness tell me not to disturb him if you have nothing to do?" ”
I glared at him and said, "Didn't I come here for something!" ”
I walked into the prince's brother's house, and Feng Shu also followed me in, "Prince's brother, this is the voucher for receiving the moonsilver this month, I want to use your seal!" ”
The prince's brother put down the book, looked at it with the credentials, and asked, "How is this amount determined!"
I replied, "The moon silver of the palace people, the grandmother, the head of the house, and Grandpa Liu was set in the old account books. As for the moon silver mentioned in the wind, there is nothing to refer to in the old account books, so I will decide casually! ”
"What?" Feng Shu said, "My moon silver should be determined by His Highness!" What qualifications do you have? ”
I said, "Aren't I going to show it to the prince's brother!" What are you anxious about! ”
"You're ......!"
"Alright, alright! Just do it like this, four taels a month. As he spoke, the prince's brother took out the seal and stamped it.
I took the voucher and said as if I had won a battle: "Fengshu, don't forget to go to my courtyard to receive the moon silver later!" ”
"You're ......!"
I ran away before he could finish speaking......
