In fact, Wu Yan understood Zheng Dajue's thoughts, and he didn't know about the group of eunuchs before, but he gradually understood it since he entered the palace. Eunuchs are a type of people who have no sense of security, although they are also predators of wealth, but it can also be said that 'it is easy to gather, and it is easy to disperse'.

Once he dies, his family may not be able to maintain the large wealth he left behind during his lifetime, and it will either be recovered by the government or taken away by the powerful. The family of eunuchs cannot be compared with the family, which relies on generations of disciples to take the road of the imperial examination to consolidate the family status, and it is extremely rare for the children of eunuchs to be able to take the first place in the imperial examination.

Because the eunuchs came from a humble background, there were few scholars among their children, and after they became rich, they either became prisoners, scholars, etc., or became martial artists, but their willingness to enter the government through reading was not strong. Even if they have a military position, most of them cannot be hereditary, and once the new emperor ascends the throne, it is often difficult to escape the fate of the revolution.

The scenery before death, the embarrassment after death, this is the portrayal of the life of most eunuchs.

Therefore, Zheng Dajue will decisively invest in the racecourse, with shares in his hands, he can enjoy dividends every year, as long as the racecourse does not go bankrupt, this is the income of the trickle, and the children of the family are more stable than the house.

Wu Yan was able to quickly build a racecourse in a short period of time, and he also adopted the practice of a listed company, issuing original shares, one tael of silver per share, and initially planned to raise one million taels. In addition to selling shares, there is also a regulation, that is, every quarter will be announced financial indicators, Nanjing's racecourse has announced the first quarter financial indicators at the end of March, a beautiful quarterly report, although the temporary non-dividends, investors have seen tangible gains, although it has only been open for more than half a year.

So much so that when preparing for the Beijing Racecourse, as soon as the shareholding plan was launched, the shares were claimed, and the funds were quickly raised after the rights were confirmed. Wu Yan also lobbied the Yongming Emperor to also buy shares, of course, the emperor has the privilege to buy as many shares as he wants, so the emperor became the largest shareholder of the racecourse, followed by the Ministry of Industry, as well as Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other yamen, these departments have 'small treasury', and the Ministry of Industry also contracted the project, and the other is an individual shareholding.

Wu Yan also did not expect that this whole will become a central enterprise, because of its huge potential, investing in the equity of the racecourse is more valuable than buying a house and land, which can be called an ancient version of the value investment model.

The racecourse is not only a horse race, but also has many supporting industries, eating, drinking and having fun. In addition, this is horse breeding, which can make horse breeding a whole industry chain, and covers breeding, breeding, fostering, training and peripherals, etc., relying on this alone, Wu Yan can be regarded as a contribution to the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many people's livelihoods have been solved.

She is in the palace, she has an outstanding status at a young age, and she is the only one who can run around the vestibule and harem casually, and even enter and exit the palace without even using the palace card, just brush her face, which is also the privilege given to her by Emperor Yongming.

Wu Yan was originally the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but she entered the palace as a female household, and after entering the palace, she became a court woman, and the household registration was hung under the Jinyi Guard, and the monthly Lu rice was also received from the Jinyi Guard, and later the Yongming Emperor promoted her to the Qianqing Palace brand, which was a plus. There are also several kinds of brands, she is a brand in front of the emperor, in addition to playing a brand, a steward brand, etc., in fact, no matter what kind of brand, including the head of the Qianqing Palace is the emperor's close attendant, and its status is glorious.

The eunuchs of important supervision bureaus, such as the celebrant supervisor, must be added to the title of head of the Qianqing Palace, and for the emperor, the close attendants are easier to control. She is a palace official, but she has added the title of chamberlain, and she is probably the first person in the past, but it does not mean that she can 'exceed the rules' or 'act on behalf of the king'. The eunuch's ability to participate in political affairs is the legal status given by the 'law of the ancestors', and the 'harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics' is also a family law, and it has been binding the forest since the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Wu Yan kept in mind, since entering the palace, although from time to time it is necessary to 'follow the royal court to become green and trivial', but he is cautious in his words and deeds, and he must not be sloppy. In addition, it is to spend energy on the position of Si Zhen, how to say? The Shang Gong Bureau is in charge of the treasures, but a more important duty is to be in charge of the female treasury.

After Jiang Quan, a female official in the Yongle period, entered the palace, she 'entrusted the gold and silver treasury', and the gold and silver treasury was the inner treasury, also known as the female official treasury. There are two places in the palace that are female official vaults, one is the Dongyu treasury and the other is the treasure treasury.

Out of the Rijing Gate, facing the door for the Chongren Gate, slightly south of the Chongren Gate, is the East Yuku. Dongyu warehouse belongs to a warehouse under the inner carrier warehouse, because it is in the inner courtyard, so the status is particularly special. The inner carrier warehouse only needs to ensure that it is used every year, and the rest are put into the female official treasury, such as millions of strange gold and silver every year, as well as mining silver in Yunnan and other places, and silver in various yamen.

Such an important thing naturally needs to be managed by someone trusted by the emperor, and Jiang Quan in Yongle was deeply respected by Judy, and he did not leave the palace until he was sixty-three years old. His contemporaneous female official Huang Weide entered the palace at the age of 30 and left the palace at the age of 75......

These women are deeply baptized by orthodox etiquette, are well versed in loyalty, filial piety, and martyrdom, and are well-versed in history books, and have outstanding talents, and they are the best candidates for female officials. Wu Yan never thought that he would serve in the palace for the rest of his life, and even if he was now highly valued by Emperor Yongming, he did not want to spend his life under such a 'standard'.

For women with a modern soul, she hopes to reflect more social values, not just limited to the inner courtyard and family house, so she wants the emperor to understand that she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and her red face is better than her son.

The days in the palace are generally dull, even if there is a daily busyness, but when you are free, you are very idle. The so-called 'push the window in the morning, the red rain flies wildly, and the idle flowers laugh; The green trees are sounding, and the idle birds are crying; The smoke is bright, and the idle clouds are also; The algae can be counted, and the idle pond is quiet; The wind is fine, the moon is clear, the forest is empty, and the idle court is quiet, and ...... is out of the realm, and most of the women in the palace are in a very high realm.

She is not like other palace people, she can do some needlework and embroidery, or write poems and paintings to pass the time, and the only thing that makes her have some interest in participating is the eternal topic of women: eating, dressing and dressing.

Speaking of food in the palace, Wu Yan, as a Michelin-starred chef, actually doesn't have much room to play, and the palace rules are strict and can't be too inferior. Fortunately, the food of the female official is not bad, much better than that of the palace maid, not to mention that she can still play some autumn breeze from time to time.

At first, Wu Yan thought that there was an institution similar to the large canteen of the unit in the palace, but in fact, Guanglu Temple was only responsible for the good ratio of ingredients and seasonings, and then distributed them to various places. Each palace has its own 'small kitchen', and the emperor has a Shang Chef in charge of eating, in fact, more often it is the personal chef of the master of ceremonies to be in charge.

The wine and vinegar noodles of the eunuch yamen are the edible wine, vinegar, noodles, and sugar of the people in the official palace, as well as glutinous rice, wheat, soybeans, grain grass, rice husk, white flour, etc. There is a priest in the Shangshi Bureau under the Liushang Bureau, which also provides materials such as gluttony and carbon for the palace people.

The ingredients and materials are provided by the palace, but the food production is made by the palace people themselves, and the palace maid has a planing room for self-cooking. Although the diet of the palace people is not nutritionally comprehensive, it is not hungry, and it is still better than the common people's families.

Of course, in addition to the daily supply, it will also change with the season, just like the crab in August, where the palace dependents and ministers are in groups of five or six, gather to eat together, and in the sound of giggling, remove the umbilicus, carefully pick and then serve with vinegar sauce. There is that clever, and it is still complete after the culling, so as to show the mastery of their skills. After eating, drink Su Ye soup and wash your hands with Su Ye, so it is also a grand event.

In December, families began to make cured meats and sausages, just like the folks. Wu Yan has tasted the enema made in the palace, and there are also sweet and salty, similar to Guangwei and Sichuan, but there is a soul seasoning missing in Sichuan, so it is still worse than the practice of later generations, but it is still good as a taste adjustment.

After eating, it is natural to consider the problem of dressing, female official clothing has its own formula, not allowed to exceed half a point, the rank of the crown dress is the same as the fourth and fifth grades of the inner woman, for the mountain pine special bun, dress 20 attacks, Qingyun crown often wears as it is. The difference with the dress of the maiden is the difference in the jewelry worn on the special bun.

The Qingyun crown worn when wearing regular clothes is not a pearl and emerald style, and the regular clothes are similar to the regular clothes of women, which are long jackets and long skirts, and the long skirts are horizontal and vertical and embroidered with entwined branch patterns. The shoes are silk boots or satin boots, which is not much different from that of a life wife.

The crown dress is worn on solemn occasions, while the regular dress is more like the professional dress of the palace for work, both of which reflect a strict hierarchy and cannot be transgressed. The dress of Pingsuli is much simpler, but there are also fixed styles, such as stacked buns, long skirts, short jackets, large sleeves, and phoenix shoes. The material is also changed with the season, such as the first day is the New Year gourd brocade, Caisheng Babao brocade, and the lantern brocade is changed to the Lantern Festival on the tenth day; In the spring, it is easy to spend a hundred flowers in the brocade, the beginning of summer, and the silk yarn Qiluo. Dragon Boat Festival, Yi Ai Ye dragon and phoenix flower yarn, in the middle of autumn, it is the jade rabbit cinnamon brocade, grape brocade, in September, it is changed to chrysanthemum dogwood brocade, and finally in winter, it is snowflake plum blossom bergamot and so on.

In addition, the three palaces of Shengshou are all dressed in longevity, and the owners of the East Palace and the palaces of the kings are also different, and they are all made according to the seasonal state affairs. In this way, spring, summer, autumn and winter take turns, and then change the clothes of the next year at the end of the year. There are poems: A spring never looks for a fragrance, and the old shirts of Xiangluo are actually still good old shirts, but there are new ones in the new year, and the old ones are only shelved.

The style of the palace dress is fixed, the material is fixed, and there seems to be no change...... In fact, it is not without changes, everyone has the heart of Shangmei, and the women in the palace are no exception. It's like the hairstyle will also follow the fashion, when the updo is popular, it is 'Xiaolin Luan mirror dressing, the updo is one foot long', just think about it......

Whenever he thinks of the one-foot-high bun on the top of his head, Wu Yan thinks of the exaggerated hairstyles of the French aristocracy in the eighteenth century, how much time does it take to comb a hair every day? How are they fixed? Do I need to disassemble it when I sleep at night?

Nowadays, it is popular to wear three locks of hair and narrow eyebrow shirts, which were popular for a while in Wanli, and now it is a trend to return, but there are also nuances in the sleeves, and the large long sleeves have been changed to small wide sleeves, which is a woman's dress. There is also a kind of dress that is also very popular: the daughters are all dressed in men's clothes, which is to change the man-shaped robe to the size of the women's clothes, and then wear a scarf on the head, although it is a man's shape, but it does not hide the delicate beauty of the daughter, which is the fashion that came from the south.

It is said that Ya Yinan is good at dressing, and the palace is no exception, and they all chase after it. Wu Yan likes to wear it like this, and her personal clothes are almost all in the shape of Taoist robes, and they are equipped with scarves of various materials. However, I still have to comb my hair in the palace, but my craftsmanship is not good, and I always comb it crookedly, and I have been laughed at by the imperial concubine several times.

Generally speaking, the people who lead the fashion in the palace are the queens and concubines, like dressing, there are gorgeous and elegant schools, and there must be their own fans in the palace to follow. Another example is makeup, as well as poems: the peach blossom is a strong wine halo, and the rouge is clearly painted on the whole body, among which the "peach blossom" and "wine halo" are the two most common makeup. As the name suggests, the peach blossoms are delicate and elegant, and the cheeks are crimson and charming.

For makeup, Wu Yan is a master, in fact, these two kinds of makeup are not outdated now, as long as it is gradual and natural, and then with highlights and shadow modifications, it can have a good effect, plus eye makeup and lip makeup, that is the magic of oriental face changing, plastic surgery-level effect.

When others asked Wu Yan for makeup, she didn't hesitate to give advice, it was not complicated, and the principle made sense, so she could get started quickly. And she has a very strong relationship with Dai Chunlin's young owner, Dai Chunlin's several popular products are her ideas, the most classic is the collectible limited edition makeup plate, priced at 39 taels of silver, and now 399 taels may not be able to take it.

In short, the days in the palace are as light as flowing water, Wu Yan has entered the palace unconsciously, and it has been almost a year since she entered the palace, and she has been dressed in another world for almost three years. Looking back on this time, she didn't feel lonely, but she was somewhat regretful, and no one could talk to her. She wants to talk about modern life, brag about how good she was and is now, and travel around the world, brush up on acne scars when she is bored, and watch episodes. Although she was a 'celebrity' in her previous life, she also has her own idols, so I don't know if the idols will continue to be updated after she is gone...... She will always remember that scene, wearing a red cloak, boasting of a horse, in the quiet mountains in the early morning, Xinyi flowers are blooming......

There is no one to confide in, but to write, just like traveling through the predecessors, writing a diary to record the years. After a few years, I am flipping over, and I may see clearly what kind of road I have walked at the beginning.

At this moment, it has passed, the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is still brightly lit, and it is very lively, Wu Yan has returned to his residence, and the Qianqing Palace has not bothered about it.

After washing, I didn't feel sleepy for a while, so I took out my diary and began to record, and the first paragraph was written like this:

"Today, the country's priest wine is here, I know why the old man came, but I don't care, everything is handled by the big boss, I'm just a worker. But when it comes to beating workers, I want to complain again, but this time the salary increase failed again, hey...... I only need to continue 996, and I don't know when it will be a ......."
