Chapter 131 Back
Madam Huang and Madam Sang withdrew, and Li Ran called Miao Zhong, the manager of the farm outside.
Miao Zhong is Madam Sang's wife. He is the one who secretly checks the general's mansion for many years.
"All the dealers are here?"
Miao Zhong came in, Li Ran looked at him and asked directly.
"Yes, before the prince and the princess got married, the people arrived. In the past two days, the annual goods of each farm have also arrived at the seventeen farms."
Miao Zhong answered with his hands down.
"Have you read all the annual accounts?"
"I haven't seen it yet. Most of the prince's farm is rewarded by the emperor, and the village heads are rewarded with the monk. Without the prince's orders, the young man could not check their accounts."
Miao Zhong had long heard from his wife Madam Sang talk about Li Ran’s temper and answered directly and clearly.
"Well, then wait for the prince to come back. Have you ever seen my dowry farm?"
"Yes, they are all very good. Please tell me the princess, when will the fruits and vegetables in several villages be supplied to the mansion? There is a hot spring in the village outside Chenzhou. It has a hot spring shed and has planted some summer and autumn vegetables such as cucumbers, but it cannot be stored."
"Yeah." Li Ran was silent for a moment, but still asked, "Why don't you send it in directly? You still have to ask for instructions?"
Miao Zhong was obviously stunned, then lowered his head and answered with a cover-up:
"When I go back to the princess, I now have two places to buy in the royal palace. One is the large kitchen where Zhang Wang and the others eat, and it is said that it was bought by Yao An himself.
The second place is the former prince’s kitchen, which was managed by Xiqing. Most of the time, Xiqing went out to buy it himself."
"What about now?"
Li Ran asked frowned.
Now, in addition to her and Xie Ze, there are also dozens of people in the mansion, including San Ma Zijia and the others, as well as the servants around Xie Ze's escorts. She has never asked how many of them are, but there must be many.
Could it be that Xiqing went out to buy the ingredients for these people?
"Now, the things in the princess and the prince's kitchen are still purchased by Xiqing. Other places are Xiaoxi Tongli, the servant around Xiqing."
Li Ran frowned slightly.
Miao Zhong looked at her carefully, hesitated for a moment, subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "We don't have an account in our mansion, and I don't know how the money comes in and out."
Li Ran took a light breath.
She knew that her palace was so poor that she was... she had nothing!
She was wrong yesterday. The most important problem now is to have an account room first, and then the financial system.
Is there a occupant among these two groups of people?
Li Ran had a headache again, this time it really hurt.
"Wait until the prince comes back."
Li Ran looked at Miao Zhong and ordered.
She had to stop the first two and third four yesterday, and then she had to stop the second one. There was no need to pay attention to the third four five behind her. She had to pay for the money first. By the way, these people were either useless, or the slaves who sold their bodies, and they also had salary, called monthly money...
Madam Sang and Zijiao and the others have never given it once!
Could it be that all they have done for nothing for the past six months by her?
Li Ran raised her hand and pressed her temples.
She was wrong. This royal palace is not a family, it is a company, or a company that is not small. She must first have registered capital, also have flow, finance, and system...
"princess?"
Miao Zhong looked at Li Ran pressing her temples hard, and his heart was lifted up.
"It's okay, you go back first. I didn't think about it clearly. All these things have to be waited for the prince to come back. I will sort them out with the prince first."
Li Ran put down her hand and looked at Miao Zhong and said in a gentle voice.
"Yes." Miao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his hands.
"How did you get your monthly money?"
Li Ran sat for a moment, looked at Qingqi and asked.
"The princess, like in the village outside the city, was a tael of silver. When she was in Chang'an Marquis' Mansion, she gave her monthly money on the second day of the lunar month. When she returned, she was sent by her second grandma. She didn't have the time to go to the gate to get it."
Qingqi's answer is very detailed.
Her princess has many things to do with these housework, common affairs, and human affairs. In the past six months, she, Madam Sang and others have become accustomed to the details as much as possible.
"One or two is a first-class monthly payment?"
Li Ran asked again.
"The rules in the village outside the city: the maids around the old lady will take the first-class money for the second-class, and add one tael of silver for the first-class money, and a month will be two taels of silver.
When I was following the old lady, I was second-class, purple eggplant was second-class, and carnice and manjing were third-class."
Qingqi replied.
"Who is in the village outside the city to manage the monthly money?"
"Madam Huang." Qingqi asked and answered questions this time, and she could only answer one by one.
"Call Madam Huang in."
Li Ran wanted to press her temples again.
She should first listen to the various rules of one day or two. This monthly money alone is enough for her to learn and understand.
………………………………………
Two days later, when Xie Ze returned to the Rong'an Palace, Li Ran's obedient learning tutorial was just half over.
Hearing the words, the prince is back, Li Ran, who rushed out of the upper room, almost scared Xie Ze.
"You are..." Xie Ze rushed forward two steps, reached out to hug Li Ran, and before he finished speaking, he burst out laughing.
"You came back early."
Li Ran suppressed the tears that rushed up.
When people have support, they become vulnerable. When they see Xie Ze, they feel a lot of grievances.
"Well, things go well. Are you okay?" Xie Ze looked at Li Ran's face carefully.
"fine."
Li Ran suppressed the impulse to speak well, and it was not an urgent matter. He had been running outside these days, and he was much tired than her.
"On the day you left, General Zhou took the An brothers to the Fengqiumen camp to fight the arena."
In order to alleviate her urge to speak, Li Ran talked about the An brothers.
"Hmm?" Xie Ze raised his eyebrows.
"General Zhou took a stack of silver notes and asked Wang Cui and Shen Mai to use the silver to bet the winner."
Li Ran couldn't help laughing when she talked about Zhou E betting on winning or losing.
"Win?" Xie Ze looked at the smile on Li Ran's face and started to laugh.
“Win a lot.
General Zhou was very proud and said that in order to coax Pan Gui and the others to beg the An brothers, she beat her chest and stamped her feet every time she begs her head and screams in pain: In order to give her brothers momentum, what is silver!"
"It's really rare." Xie Ze smiled.
"I won for two days and said that since yesterday afternoon, people refused to beg the An brothers to lose.
Yesterday the day before yesterday, Zhou E and the An brothers came back very late and said they were having a drink with Pan Gui and the others.
The first day, Xiao Wang of An got drunk, and the next day he was punished by his elder brother to kneel down and sober up, saying that it was not the time to get drunk now."
Li Ran looked at Xie Ze.
"You didn't let them reveal their surname An first?"
"Well, this is also the meaning of the prince. The word An is too loud and once exposed, it will spread all over the world in just one or two months. This amazing weapon will lose the first move.
For the An brothers, if you hide the word An, you will first make military achievements, and you will be more convinced in the army. You will then command the army without leaving any room for gossip.
All five of their brothers are excellent. Whether or not the surname An is, they are all rare generals and generals."
Xie Ze explained carefully and patiently. Looking at Li Ran, he asked again: "Zhou E hasn't been drunk, have you?"
"No, she said she had never been drunk." Li Ran smiled.
"It's not that I've never been drunk, but that I never drink too much when something happens.
At this moment, she was afraid of getting drunk and said that she had missed the identity of the An brothers.
Zhou E is a reassuring general.
An Xiao punished Xiao Wu to kneel down, probably because of this, and he was drunk and said everything."
