Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The next day, the sage called Jia Daishan, talked about his second son's marriage, and asked him to choose a bride's family by himself, and then he would decree the marriage as he had promised.

As soon as Jia Daishan heard the words of the sage, he knew that something had happened about the marriage.He immediately made a look of sincerity and fear, and declined: "Sage, the second son of the minister has not yet achieved fame, and has not made an inch of merit with the country. I am afraid that he will not be able to afford the marriage from the saint. I really don't know what kind of family I should be with. Getting married is good. A saint must help his ministers."

The sage was very grateful for Jia Daishan's request for help.He thought for a while and said, "Among the Hanlin bachelors, there are quite a few families who have sent their daughters to participate in the draft. You go to those families who didn't send their daughters to participate in the draft and choose their second daughter-in-law."

Jia Daishan understood, thanked Shengen, and went home to make arrangements.

Shi Shi was very unhappy. She was unwilling to give up the marriage that she had agreed to give to her second son.

"My lord, this is too wronged Zheng'er. Without the gift of marriage, I have to choose a wife for Zheng'er in the Hanlin scholar's mansion who has not sent a daughter to participate in the draft. Those poor Hanlin, who has a good daughter, can I won’t participate in this year’s draft. The queen mother said earlier that this year we should leave more nobles for the saints. Who can not miss the saints?”

Jia Daishan thought about the changes in the personnel in the womb these days, and explained to Shi Shi what he had figured out a long time ago, the sage's will, "The sage wants to keep more people in this draft because of the bad things about the imperial concubine and Hui concubine. During the New Year’s meeting, I said that we should keep more people. But the current saint, I’m afraid he thinks in his heart that whoever sends his daughter to the palace for a draft is ambitious and has the possibility of thinking about the position of the crown prince.”

Shi's eyes widened, "My lord, there are not many families who are concerned about the position of the prince. The prince, whom the saint loves so much, has been standing for another 20 years. But sending his daughter into the palace, and becoming the prince's natal family in the future, is not enough." It's better than a daughter marrying a minister. What's wrong with that? It's a pity that our Min'er is too young to catch up with the selection of the crown princess."

Jia Daishan immediately stared, "Hurry up and put away your desire to send Min'er into the palace. She'er is the prince's companion, and has a deep friendship with the prince. If Min'er goes to the East Palace, the saint will think that we are plotting to take the position of the emperor's grandson. And The crown prince's eldest son, the sage has already personally called him the grandson of the emperor, and he is waiting for the canonization ceremony. It is absolutely impossible for Min'er to enter the royal family."

Shi was disappointed and sighed.

It turned out that Jia Min was 13 years old this year, old enough to participate in the draft, but Jia Daishan pressed him and refused to sign up for the draft.

"Xie'er was appointed by the sage to marry us to the Taifu. The Rongguo Mansion is in charge of the army, and the Zhang family's students are all over the court and the public. This is already too heavy an in-law relationship. Now the sage said that we should go to those families to find Marriage, do we have to resist the edict? You choose a Yue family for Zheng'er who can teach him to read. When Zheng'er is passed the imperial examination in the future, he will have a great future."

Having said that, Shi Shi had no choice but to nod.After dragging on for more than a year, the marriage of the second son still has no clue.Fortunately, the age of marriage has now been raised, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"Master, you said that Min'er is not easy to marry into the royal family, but what about She'er's eldest daughter?"

The child in Mrs. Zhang's womb, the imperial doctor felt the pulse and said it belonged to his granddaughter.

Jia Daishan was silent for a while, thinking that his wife's suggestion was very good.

He solemnly said to his wife: "Pay attention to this, and don't mention it to anyone. Although the pulse is a granddaughter, it will not be accurate until the child is born."

Er, Jia Daishan stroked his long beard, and said word by word: "Hey'er and I will try to arrange this matter. Don't get involved."

Shi Shi nodded in satisfaction——

Planning for the position of the grandson's wife for his eldest granddaughter, this is the right thing for a man in the Rongguo Mansion to do.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus were jointly purged by the prince and Mo Jiu, and about half of them were purged.The things collected back are even more than the saint's treasury.The quality of many high-quality goods is even better than those stored by the saints.And the total amount of gold and silver recovered from these people's homes exceeded one million taels.

The saint became angry, and he didn't say beheading, but sent these people to mines, saltworks, or exile into the army.

The prince and princess re-planned the three meals a day for the nobles in the inner court.It turned out that the rule of one chicken per day for a nobleman, or one chicken per meal for a concubine, was directly vetoed by the prince.

"Father, at the beginning, the standard was set to mean that the cost of silver taels per meal was equivalent to a chicken. After many years of operation, it has changed to every meal or every day. Not counting other dishes, one chicken or several A catty of meat. A chicken in the House of Internal Affairs is ten taels of silver. Adding in other food, a nobleman can eat more than ten thousand taels of silver every year, double the position of concubine, and double the position of concubine. Double it. Where the queen mother ate so much, she gave it to these silverfish, and they greedily went to it."

The sage looked at the crown prince's re-drafted three meal standards, his highest, without making any changes.The Queen Mother's is his half.The queen's portion is one dish less than the queen mother's.The crown prince is half of him, well, it should be said that it is one dish less than the queen's.Level by level, descending according to grade.At the level of Little Promise and Little Changzai, there are only two meat and two vegetables every day, and the total price of the three meals is equivalent to a chicken.

And this chicken is no longer a chicken of ten taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but a chicken of half a tael of silver from ordinary people.

The saint twitched the corner of his mouth, how could this son be so reduced?

"Chengxian, isn't there too little here?" The sage pointed to the menus of Xiaoyue and Xiaochangzai.

"A lot. They used to eat these things too. It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported a large number and put the money in their purses."

Only then did the sage know what kind of life he had lived in the past with his little promise and little constant presence.He felt a little uncomfortable, Ma Dan, my woman is so poor, and all the money was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Let's add a little more to them."

The prince slanders the saint, don't you know how much a woman eats in one meal?

"Father, even if you give them four meat and four vegetarian meals, they won't be able to finish a meal. In the end, they will either lose money or give rewards to those who serve them. The money will increase, but they won't get any benefits."

The saint frowned and thought, how can he add some benefits to his low-ranking women?

He thought to himself, and told the prince to himself.

"Father, you can reward. If you have served well, you can reward extra jewelry and clothes. If you are willing, you can reward a few dishes temporarily. If you can't finish it, it's just a waste of a meal."

"Chengxian, you don't have to cut back on that." The sage tapped on the part of the prince again.

"Father, there are quite a few here. My son has two meals a day, and I eat with my father. My son has long since given up the imperial dining room, and independently records the consumption of the East Palace. From June last year to now , Compared with the same period in the past, Shan Erchen's food expenses have a balance of nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

"There are so many?"

"That's right. In the past, when my ministers were not eating in the Eastern Palace, the Imperial Dining Room kept accounts as usual, and the Eastern Palace spent so much food expenses. Now my son has ordered Liufu to eat breakfast and lunch at Father Emperor's place, and the Imperial Dining Room cannot keep accounts. .During dinner, the Crown Princess will ask for an extra dish, and for the son and his wife, it is enough for the Crown Princess alone."

Saint: Love you this year, you haven't spent any money on food!

But the sage watched his son's calculations like this, and saw that the inner court was rectified by the prince, saving half of the annual energy.While feeling relieved, he couldn't help but warn, "Don't treat the servants and women in charge who are working hard in the inner court harshly."

"Father, don't worry, my son has asked people to write down everything that is deserved and at every level into the palace rules. If anyone is deducted, they can send a letter to the princess. Besides, the person in charge, The crown princess will be rotated, that is, to buy there, and the emperor needs to come forward."

The sage saw that the crown prince handled everything in an orderly manner, so why did he have to come forward to buy it?

"Father, the purchaser of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is from the natal family of Concubine Duan Shun and the nephew of Prince Fu's side concubine. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs was rectified this time, because he had only half a month to do the procurement, there was Prince Fu The master handed in a post, and only returned nearly a hundred taels of silver. But now, he still wants to continue to do the shopping. It is very annoying to ask people all day long. So, Prince Fu, Father, look..."

The prince's tone clearly indicated that the sage was going to hate Prince Fu.

The sage laughed, "People with previous convictions are not allowed to be hired as a rule. People who are greedy for nearly a hundred taels in half a month, such a person..." The sage shook his head. "The silver you bought is too greedy."

"Yes. My son also went to the royal village. In fact, many of the ingredients in the palace are provided by Huangzhuang. These damn gluttonous gluttons are still in the account book, and another expense is recorded. And Huangzhuang's place is Those who are exempt from tax, but these villains still charge higher rent than those outside the Zhuangzi."

While listening to the prince's report, the sage sighed in his heart. If the prince hadn't had a clear understanding, the million taels of cash would not have been returned to the inner treasury.Those rare treasures, that is, reported losses, have passed away.The prince is gentle, he is not a county king who can open up territory like himself, but the harvest is more than enough.Look at the emperor's grandson, what kind of personality will he have in the future.

"Father, those Huangzhuang and son-in-law have made some reforms. From now on, all the ingredients that Huangzhuang can provide will be provided by Huangzhuang. The price is slightly lower than the market price by half. The rent of Huangzhuang is slightly lower than outside. Half completed. Is it okay for my father to see it?"

"Let's try it first, okay? You'll know after two years of trying. Is the princess busy with these things?"

"Fortunately."

"Silver is secondary, let her take care of the little suckling pig."

Speaking of his grandson, the sage smiled all over his face.Son and daughter-in-law, the baby names given to their grandchildren are really wonderful!

Whenever the saint is free every day, he will go to the East Palace to hug his grandson.The white and fat child is extremely handsome.The smell of milk all over the body is really good.When meeting the little suckling pig awake, he let himself hug him, no matter how much he teased him, he didn't get annoyed, his rolling eyes showed that he was smart.

There is no more lovable child than Suckling Pig.
