The thick yellow-skinned ledger was nothing else, it was a breakdown of the six palace servants' usage for a month. Mu Beiyi threw it to Xue Chuling: "You miss it." ”

"Yes." Xue Chuling's crisp white hand took it, turned the page at random, and said tactfully, "On the twenty-third day of March, Si Shan will enter ten stones of polished rice for five hundred yuan, forty stones for grain and ten taels, forty stones for rice, one thousand five hundred catties for parsley, five taels for one thousand catties of pickles, two hundred taels for broiler chickens, one hundred taels for meat ducks, six hundred catties for tofu, one hundred catties for fresh loquats, nine hundred catties for meat steaks, one hundred catties for spices, and one hundred taels for mountain peppers. 800 fresh fish into 16 taels, salted fish 200 tails into 2 taels and 500 yuan, into candied fruit 200 jin into 15 taels, into honey sauce 100 jin into 5 taels, into wild mushrooms 200 jin into 2 taels, into white flour 1,000 jin into 5 taels, into yellow noodles 2,000 jin into 4 taels, into dried scallops 100 jin into 100 taels, into the mountain wolfberry 100 jin into 30 taels, into the iced scallop 50 jin into 25 taels, into the wild matsutake mushroom 20 jin into 40 taels, into the wild deer gold tendon 10 jin into 40 taels, into the short white bamboo sunflower 20 catties into 20 taels, into the rain monkey head 3 catties into 10 taels, Ten catties of fish bones into the sea are thirty taels, five catties of civet lips are thirty taels, fifty catties of bird's nest are fifty taels into the blood, and fifty catties of incense letter into the clouds are twenty taels. Xue Chuling read it, and looked quite shocked.

"This is the account of the secretary of the six divisions in one day." Mu Beiyi condensed, "Can someone calculate the geometry?" ”

Pillow Chun had already heard it confused, but he only felt a pain in his brain, so he hurriedly covered his face with his sleeve and looked for tea to drink.

"Four hundred and sixty-one taels in one day." Liu Anran's crisp and dignified voice came slowly, "The moon is 13,830 taels, the season is 41,490 taels, and the year is 168,265 taels." ”

When they heard this, they were horrified. There are six divisions under the jurisdiction of the palace court, only one type of food, and nearly 170,000 taels of silver are used in a year. In Lejing, the noble concubines all want to learn from the master. Xue Chuling is a concubine, and she has no choice or no education, so she was quite surprised to hear that such a large expense was made.

Pillow Chun has not worked hard since he was a child, and he is far less noble than Liu Anran's daughter-in-law. Now that I heard Liu Anran say everything, I also admired it in my heart, and nodded secretly.

Mu Beiyi bowed his head and looked at Liu Anran deeply, but his tone became heavy: "The harem enters and exits millions of taels of silver a year, but there is no supervision. Now that the Xue family has been convicted, there is a shallow amount of water in the money, do you have any plans in your hearts? As he spoke, there was a hint of imperceptible exhaustion, "I want to raise a new army and a new army, and I can't be so careless." ”

"Cousin...... "The county lord of Fufeng was no longer blind, and he also knew that it was critical, so he hurriedly got up and replied, "If you cut the degree and reduce the share of the palace attendants, it will be considered ...... Is that the ...... Throttled. ”

Xue Chuling shook his head lightly when he heard this: "Concubine Rong, you are the lord of the county, or you don't know the doorway. Although the subordinates are servants, they also have temperaments, and it is not appropriate to rashly tailor them. ”

The corner of the Fufeng County Lord's mouth glanced at it, and he said contemptuously: "This palace is the daughter of the county lord, how do you need to know the doorway of those subordinates?" ”

"Your Majesty, two mothers." Liu Anran got up and made a dignified salute, "The concubine has learned from her mother in the boudoir, but she is not proficient in it, she only knows a reason." But all the big families and high-ranking families should not rashly reduce the number of cases, if you want to turnover, open source is to throttle. Not only is it true of the eunuchs, but also the court. The harem is yellow and white, if you want to reduce it, the concubines have a way. ”

"Xi Zhaoyi, let's talk about it." Mu Bei Yi Road.

Liu Anran took two steps forward, stretched out a soft jade-white hand, and gently calculated: "Concubine Fang Cai heard that Concubine Zhen read the account book, among which scallops, bamboo sunflowers, monkey heads, deer antlers, raccoon lips and other delicacies accounted for two or three percent of the use. These eight treasures of mountains and seas, small in quantity and expensive in price, are the easiest to deduct layer by layer. On the other hand, the combination of thousands of catties of baogu, yellow flour, and white flour that Gong E and the servants use on weekdays is not as good as dozens of catties of blood bird's nest. Therefore, the degree of cutting palace people is not as good as showing the style of frugality, and the delicacies used by the masters are cut first. Just cut a little bit, and resist most of the palace people's cuts, isn't this open source? ”

The county lord of Fufeng was a little unhappy when he heard this: "There is no pastime on weekdays, and all the delicious and useful ones are cut, so what else is interesting in those days?" ”

Liu Anran smiled: "There are too many people in the palace of the Sixth Palace, such as Si Paper Danqing, as well as those who plant flowers and trees, and those who raise pet beasts and animals. If you have all these pleasures, you should enjoy them all. In the future, you can hold more flower viewing parties, painting appreciation meetings, or raise birds and finches in the palace on weekdays. Wouldn't such an innocent pastime be better than a lavish feast? Isn't it better than gambling for money? After saying that, Yingying bowed to Mu Beiyi, "In this way, the palace people also perform their duties. Whether it is the secretary of the office, or the flower or the bird, they all perform their duties, and each has its own day. In this comparison, Si Shan is not the best place to go, and the people below will not go to great lengths to make deductions layer by layer, and do things that are secretly tricked. Saying that, he lowered his eyelids, "Most of the women in the palace are always leisurely, and it is good to play some tricks." ”

"What are you talking about......" Lord Fufeng pursed his lips and wanted to say something more. As soon as her eyes rolled and saw Mu Beiyi in her chin, the words that came to her mouth became true, "There is still some truth." ”

"Xi Zhaoyi's method of feeding the main is somewhat reasonable." Mu Beiyi supported his forehead, and it was rare to praise, "The so-called governing a large country is a small fresh, and the regent court and the presiding over the middle feed are the same knowledge." Since you have said so much, I have asked you to tidy up the food first. According to what you said, open source with small cuts, and if it works, you will use your method in the future. ”

That's a lot of praise. Although it is only a temporary division of food, if it is done well, it may be possible to include the management authority of the six divisions. Liu Anran has a strong and upright temperament, and he is by no means a person who does secret things for the sake of bribery, but with the authority of the six divisions in hand, he is naturally on the road of taking care of the six palaces. Pillow Spring was happy for her, and looked at her with a smile from afar.

Liu Anran didn't see Pillow Spring, only buried his head in thanks.

Three days after the Cold Food Festival, the weather will be warm, and Liu Anran began to make arrangements.

It was still cool and shady this morning, and a group of waiters were waiting outside the Jianghe Palace, pushing the cage cart.

Pillow Chun still slept with a bruise in the corners of his forehead, got up from the couch with his hair scattered, and asked Yulan: "What kind of voice is this?" ”

Seeing that Zhuchun couldn't open her eyes, Yulan hurriedly stepped forward to gather her clothes for her, and said softly: "It's the waiters of the flower room, the study room, and the treasure animal room, who came to send the pastime, and it is up to the masters to choose." Originally, according to Xi Zhaoyi's reasoning, each performs his own duties, teaches the masters to enjoy more flowers, paint cats and dogs, and hold less extravagant banquets and play cards less. It doesn't matter what matters, you can sleep a little longer, and let them wait a little longer. ”

"Oh......" Pillow Chun lay down straight again, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then propped himself up again, "What cats and dogs, how can they wait?" Hurry up...... Pass it in and take a look. ”

Pillow Spring likes cats and dogs since he was a child, and the rules at home are strict, and there is no way to get it. On weekdays, I occasionally went to the street to see a few times, and I saw the children walking birds and dogs on the street from behind the curtain, and looked at the self-satisfied appearance of others, and my heart was envious.

He only scribbled a bun, put on a cloak with a vertical collar, and hurriedly pounded his shoes and went.

Several waiters waiting outside the side hall looked very bright, and the leading one saw Yulan coming out with a pillow spring, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a big salute: "Say hello to Ming Jieyu Niangniang." ”

Pillow Chun's mind was not here, so he dialed it casually: "Get up and get up." Then his eyes lit up, "Who is from the Treasure Beast Room?" ”

The waiter was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of Pillow Spring, and as Pillow Spring entered the side hall, Su Su replied: "The slave is the errand boy in the Treasure Beast Room, and his name is Fuquan." In response to the meaning of Xi Zhaoyi Niangniang, the beasts of the treasure beast room were sent to the palace maidens and little masters to choose. ”

Pillow Chun was half-sleeping on a chaise longue covered with splendid soft covers, covered with a snow-white velvet shawl on his body. She scratched her ears and asked, "How many mothers have you been to before?" ”

Fuquan was afraid that Pillow Spring would be unhappy, so he replied: "According to the position, it is the beginning of the two concubines. Ming Jieyu Niangniang, you are the fifth, and you are also the first noble. ”

Pillow Chun drank a glass of milk dizzily again, and then woke up half distracted: "How did the first few ladies choose?" ”

Fuquan said respectfully: "Concubine Rong likes cats, and this season is the season for milk-producing cats. Concubine Rong chose a snow-white Persian milk cat. Concubine Zhen wanted to raise the princess and the prince in the palace, so she didn't leave anything, only said that the people in the flower house came to move two fruit trees. Xi Zhaoyi Niangniang also doesn't like living things, saying that she announced that she went to the study room to choose calligraphy and painting. It was Yagui Niangniang, who asked for two parrots to raise, but she deliberately said that she wanted a parrot that couldn't speak and didn't cut her tongue. ”

"Oh......" Pillow Chun thought thoughtfully, and wanted to be reserved, but his heart was itchy and unbearable, and he beckoned, "I know, I know." Quick, go pick up a few dogs and show them to Hongu. ”

Fuquan probably also knew the temper of this lady, and responded with a smile: "You just wait and wait, and the slave will pass it on." ”

Pillow Spring reached out to take the walnut kernel and eat it. Su Bai opened the curtain and came in to see him, and persuaded: "Niangniang, forgive the slave and maid for saying something that shouldn't be said." If you can't get up in the morning, you get up late and eat snacks all the time, and you are most likely to gain weight. You see that Concubine Zhen and the little concubine are all favored, who is not slender? You are the most delicate when you dance the white silk dance at four o'clock, so you are favored. It can be seen that our Majesty still likes delicate women in his heart. ”

Pillow Chun pursed his lips, took the walnut kernel in his hand and put it back, and he was unhappy in his heart. The corners of his mouth pursed, and his eyes looked at the door, only to see a few attendants holding the padded cage and entering the main hall like a fish. She couldn't sit still, propped herself up, and couldn't help but poke her head out to look.

Fuquan lifted the shroud, revealing some fluffy dumplings, and introduced: "The breeds of milk dogs are all here." Saying that, he introduced, "The one in front is the Central Plains dog, and the one in the back is the Tubo dog." As he spoke, he flattered and held a cage of snow-white soft pompoms and offered them, "This is the favorite blessing dog of the former mothers and young masters, you see this is like a white bread......"

Pillow Chun looked at the balls one by one and liked them a lot, stretched out the tips of his jade white fingers, and smoothed the hair: "Where is it like white bread." "Dial your hand," it is clearly glutinous rice balls. "But is there anything else?" ”

Na Fuquan laughed: "Niangniang, you said everything." He caught two of his cute puppies and brought them up, "These two look ugly, but they are beautiful." It's called starling. ”

Pillow Chun raised his fingers to lift the little heads of the two starlings, and sighed: "It's really ugly...... Pretty. ”

Fuquan also introduced: "There are also the chow chow and Shih Tzu dogs that the princes like outside. He hugged a puppy with hair combed by the grate and gave it to Pillow Chun, "The princesses like this, do you want to keep one?" ”

Seeing the dog's beautiful appearance, Pillow Chun happily stroked his hair: "You are well prepared, you are really good-looking." He raised his sleeve and pointed to the last human-height cage, "What kind of dog is that covered in black cloth?" ”

"That's the Tibetan mastiff, the color of blood red, both majestic and loyal."

Pillow Chun was curious, thinking that such a huge cage should have a big and majestic beast in it, and said strangely: "Hurry up, show this palace." ”

Fu Quan responded, stepped forward and grabbed the black cloth cover and lifted it: "Look at it!" ”

I heard a bang, and the cloth cover fell to the ground.

"......" Pillow Chun frowned, "What about the dog?" She looked at the empty cage and was disappointed.

"Here." Fuquan pointed to an inconspicuous little red ball curled up in the corner of the cage.

Pillow Chun helped Magnolia, got up to look at the majestic Tubo mastiff in the cage, and only saw the stupid little skinny dog in the corner. She coughed, "That's ...... Small? ”

Fuquan saw the appearance of Pillow Spring and said, "Niangniang, look at what you said." The eight-foot man was only born with a slap in the face, and this dog is a milk dog. If it is a big mastiff who has become a year, the slave will not dare to bring it to you. This mastiff is not allowed to see people on weekdays, and if he recognizes his master, he will refuse to change his temperament for the rest of his life. ”

"So loyal?" Pillow Chun turned his head to look at the little dog, "When the palace sees it, doesn't it want to recognize it." ”

Fuquan wiped his sweat: "This ...... Children don't remember, and it doesn't hurt to see one eye or two. ”

Pillow Chun stomped his feet: "Then the palace wants this little mastiff." ”

Hearing this, Fuquan smiled happily on his face. Niangniang asked for his dog, which was naturally an indispensable reward, and hurriedly opened the cage to take out the fluffy little red ball, and handed it to Zhuchun in his arms: "Niangniang has good eyesight." ”

As soon as Pillow Chun held the little mastiff in his arms, he still felt heavy. The little mastiff rolled his eyes and looked at the pillow spring, and then fell asleep with his paws pulled.

"Magnolia." Pillow Chun hugged the dog while returning to the chaise longue, "Reward." ”

Yulan saw that she didn't like Pillow Chun very much, so she took out a purse with a colorful chrysanthemum pattern from her cuff and handed it to Fuquan.

Wonderful!
