Chapter 189: Investigation
After two days, the sky was completely clear.
After breakfast, Jiang Shu called Steward Mo and Steward Wu, and brought a few steady subordinates to take inventory of the warehouse together.
Before opening the warehouse, Steward Mo and Steward Wu glanced at each other, and said loudly: "Princess, the treasury is very rich, only a few of us are afraid that we will not be able to finish the inventory in one day, so it is better to call the rest of the stewards in the mansion to help, so that we can complete the inventory before sunset." ”
The stakes are high, and the two of them can't just bear it.
When Jiang Shu heard this, he instantly understood the thoughts of the two of them, and said: "Don't worry about what you say, then you can invite the stewards to take stock together." ”
"Yes." Mo Liang took the order and hurried to go.
Of course, he would not say that it was his idea, only that it was on the orders of the princess.
Taking over the inventory of the treasury and establishing rules is a matter of offending people, and Jiang Shu doesn't care about this one.
After Mo Liang called all the stewards, Wu Qian opened the storeroom, and everyone went in to take stock together.
Before entering, Jiang Shu was mentally prepared, but after entering, she was still shocked.
The royal treasury was made up of several rooms, each of which contained different things.
The first thing that catches your eye after entering the warehouse is all kinds of precious furniture.
Such as yellow rosewood chairs, golden silk nanmu bookcases, rosewood screens, etc., neatly displayed, full of hall-like head library.
There are small doors on both sides, the right door goes in to store fur tribute satin and other clothes, and the left door enters several wall cabinets, where there are purple sand teapots, green jade cups and plates and other utensils, as well as some rare medicinal materials.
The head library goes inside, there are three doors, one room is stored in antique calligraphy, brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and one room is displayed in the treasure weapons, there are swords, bows and arrows, spears and short whips and so on.
Push open the middle door and enter, there is the largest main storehouse, the silver storehouse.
All the money that goes in and out of the palace comes from here.
There were many lacquered wooden chests in the vault, including silver, gold, jewels and jade, as well as scattered silver and copper coins.
There is also a row of wall cabinets next to the wall, where brocade boxes of different sizes are placed. Jiang Shu opened one at random, and there was a golden crown lying inside.
Jiang Shu was surprised, thinking that these brocade boxes were full of gold and jade ornaments.
"Princess, where do you take stock first? How to take stock? "Don't care about it.
Jiang Shu said in a condensed voice: "It is divided into two dials, led by you and Steward Wu, starting with furniture and fabrics, and re-making records." ”
"Reinvented?" The stewards were slightly surprised, and the rest of the stewards were also shocked when they heard it.
Jiang Shu looked at them with deep eyes, and said solemnly: "The palace has a lot of accounts in the past few years, and it is impossible to account for it, so it is to remake the records from today, and everything in the past will not be investigated. ”
When Mo Guan and the others heard this, they were shocked and full of luck.
Jiang Shu took in their expressions, didn't say anything more, and ordered Yu Tanyu to follow Mo Liang and Wu Qian and make a record with them.
Jiang Shu personally supervised the work and ordered the rest of the people to be responsible for the inventory.
After half a day's effort, the four warehouses were counted, and there were still silver warehouses and armories left.
After lunch, the group continued to count.
There were few items in the armory, and after a short time, the inventory was completed, and everyone went to the treasury to help.
After an afternoon of hard work, we finally finished ordering the last box of copper coins before sunset.
"Princess, all the items in the library have been recorded, please take a look at the princess." Mo Liang and Wu Qian presented the record.
Every stroke in this book is recorded under the watchful eye of Yu Tanyu, and there is no discrepancy.
Jiang Shu was very relieved, and ordered Yuyu to put away the booklet and take it back to check.
"Everyone has worked hard, and I have ordered the kitchen to add food and wine to everyone tonight as a reward."
When everyone heard this, they saluted happily: "Thank you, Princess." ”
I have long heard that when Jiang Shu was the housewife of the Marquis of Jing'an in the past, he treated his subordinates with generosity and gentleness, but when I saw it today, it was really the case.
After sending Jiang Shu away, everyone happily returned to the courtyard, ready to eat and drink to their heart's content.
As Jiang Shu said, when it was dark, the kitchen sent a sumptuous banquet, and everyone drank happily.
Mo Liang, Wu Qian and the others sat together, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, they gradually opened up the conversation.
"I thought that the princess would give us a dismount today, but I didn't expect to reward us with a table of wine."
"I have a cousin who works in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and I heard him say that the princess has a gentle temperament and treats her subordinates very generously, and she is a rare good housewife."
"What is gentle and generous, I see that she has limited means. In the end, it is not from a big family, except for being able to settle accounts, I am afraid that I don't know anything about it. ”
"The fact that she used her dowry to support the Jing'an Hou Mansion is known all over the city, and it can be seen from this alone that she is not a shrewd person."
"This ...... It is too early to make a conclusion, and let's see for a while, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”
The stewards said a word to me, relying on the fact that this is the lower courtyard, and the door of the side hall is closed, and there is no fear.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the moon hangs alone.
In the main courtyard, Jiang Shu opened the record after bathing, and was taken away by Yu Zheng before he could see it.
"You're busier than me, don't get tired, we'll see tomorrow."
Jiang Shu was indeed a little tired today, and obediently lay on Yu Zheng's lap.
Yu Zheng stirred her like a waterfall and green silk, and asked Wen Sheng about the investigation of the treasury during the day.
Jiang Shu asked him rhetorically: "Do you know how big the treasury in the mansion is?" How many things are in it? ”
Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said: "I've been there once, I haven't been there for a few years, are there a lot of things in it?" ”
Jiang Shu sighed: "If you don't go to see it once in a few years, and you don't take care of the affairs of the house, you don't know how much the people below are greedy or not." ”
Yu Zheng also sighed: "I'm busy with things on weekdays, so I really don't have time to take care of these." ”
Compared with the national body and people's livelihood, the palace affairs are really not worth mentioning.
The man's ambition is in the world, not in the house, Jiang Shu understands that this matter is no wonder Yu Zheng, she just feels a little sorry for him.
"In the future, you will take care of the affairs in the house, and I will be relieved." Yu Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, full of trust.
Jiang Shu looked up at him, frowning slightly: "I have made my attitude clear to them today, but if they dare to commit it again, they will be severely punished to set an example." ”
"Well, look at it, I have prepared the princess jade seal for you, and you can act directly in the future. If there is anyone who does not obey, directly order the guards to take it down, and it will not be tolerated. ”
Yu Zheng also knows that the atmosphere in this house should be cleaned up.
At the end, Yu Zheng said again: "You can dispose of everything in the treasury at will, and you don't need to ask me." ”
It was useless to ask him, he had no idea what was in the storeroom.
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes flowed when he heard this, and he deliberately said: "Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy and empty your warehouse?" ”
Yu Zheng curled his lips and smiled: "Husband and wife are one, mine is yours, just be happy." ”
The sudden doting words, Jiang Shu's face was hot when he listened, revealing a little shyness.
Yu Zheng saw that his ink eyes darkened, bent his knees, and kissed his lips.
With Yu Zheng's movements, the black hair on the back of his head was leaked down, intertwined with Jiang Shu's black hair, and it was difficult to distinguish between you and me.
