Chapter 503 Notice
"With the teachings of Mrs. Hanmei and Concubine Shu, the women in Princess Cai's family are enviable." Chu Junlan sighed, "Isn't it just a monthly silver price of 100 taels? I feel that giving you 200 taels every month is a bit insufficient. A woman like you, a monthly silver price of 300 taels is almost the same. Don't worry, you are so considerate that you only need to increase the monthly price to 100 taels. This is my tolerance for me. I will definitely satisfy you."
Princess Cai felt as if she had eaten honey. Although Chu Junlan did not like her, Xiao Xu was a prince, and as a prince, he had a very special status. No matter what the relationship between him and Prince Gong and his son, according to her, he was also a father and son for many years. It was impossible for the prince to speak well.
She will spend her life in the palace. The prince's favor is her future. No one has a grudge with Chu Junlan because of such a little money, so Xiao Xu turned around and told the prince that she was not. Thinking of this, Princess Cai said softly: "Hey, actually, I proposed the monthly money of this hundred taels of silver, just because I was angry. Seeing that the matter in the palace was unfair, there were more monthly money and less money, there was no rule. I was worried about the prince, so I wrote a hundred taels of venting."
Princess Cai patted Chu Junlan's hand through the coffee table: "In fact, do you think I am like those local buns that even dozens of taels of silver are corruption? I have never seen the world, so it is really boring to occupy such a few melons."
Chu Junlan nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
Xiao Zilan was so angry that her face turned red and almost jumped up and pointed at Princess Cai's nose to ask who she was insinuating!
But if you stand up at this time, wouldn’t it be like this place without silver?
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "After all, everyone comes from, and they have seen the world."
"Hey, this is nothing. I think that although we are the only prince in this dynasty who was promoted to prince, we should pay monthly money in accordance with the old traditions of other royal palaces. For example, the monthly money of the princess is thirty taels, twenty taels of princes, ten taels of legitimate sons, five taels of concubines, three taels of legitimate daughters, and two taels of concubines. The kitchen is a food expense for the whole mansion, and it is not too much. After using it, you have to leave the account and get the cards to withdraw the money. The extra room has what you want to eat and use, and they all pay from their own monthly money. The mansion has never lacked everyone's food and drink. The so-called monthly money is just pocket money."
"You are right!" Chu Junlan slapped his left palm with his right fist: "I don't understand this after all, it's you."
Chu Junlan turned around and looked at the master and the nanny in charge of the house, and smiled and said, "If other princes do this, we should follow the same thing. It is not easy for the prince to be a job outside. We can't help other people at home. At least we can't make trouble for the prince. If we are extravagant and wasteful and attract the attention of the censor, how can they attack the prince?"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that not only did the money not come, but their monthly money would be reduced even more than before?
More than a dozen concubines looked at Princess Cai's eyes, like they were looking at their enemies.
Princess Cai's heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that she seemed to be talking too much when she was proud just now. She is not Chu Junlan, so why bother to be a villain and help her take the lead?
Princess Cai regretted a little and said, "Of course, there are life in each of the prefectures, so we can't generalize it. Isn't it just a silver? If you don't have enough, you can come to me. Our Cai family doesn't have much money, but it's a lot of money. Don't deduct the money for the second young master to treat the disease. If you don't know, you will think that we are poor and can't get rid of the blame."
When Chu Junlan heard this, he stopped accepting Princess Cai's trouble. He just smiled and told Zi Yan and Zi Yuan: "Take out the errand list we wrote in advance and fill in the distribution just now."
"yes."
Zi Yuan and Zi Yan immediately took out a folded piece of red paper, and wrote clearly the names of the prince from the master to the servant in the palace, the managers in each room, what they need to be responsible for in daily life, and how much the monthly allocated expenses are allocated clearly.
Chu Junlan glanced at it and smiled and said, "Well, that's right. Compared with the old rules of other royal palaces, after the expenses in the houses of each master's house are clearly listed, the money required by the other officials is probably enough. In this way, Princess Zhang and the second prince's expenses can be collected at home, and 150 taels a month."
Jing Yu, who turned around and asked the door to protrude his head: "Go and put this list on the wall at the door of the palace."
"Yes." Jing Yu didn't expect that she would be named, so she quickly stepped in and took the order.
Everyone was stunned.
Princess Cai also said, "Pressed at the gate? Isn't it possible for everyone to see it?"
"That's right, there is nothing shameful about our royal palace. Everyone's expenses are all in accordance with the rules. I'll post them out and ask someone to see them, so I can know that everything in the royal palace is fair."
just?
The top of the list clearly stated that the monthly fee for Princess Zhang and the second son was 150 taels, while Princess Cai was a common wife, but the monthly fee was 30 taels as usual.
The same princess has a huge difference in cost.
Princess Cai lowered her eyes and smiled, feeling much more happy, thinking to herself: "Just just now, she returned this favor immediately, which is a great person."
Chu Junlan said loudly: "I'll give you another three days. If you have any questions, you can go outside the gate to see this list. If anyone has any dissatisfaction, you can come to me. In three days, if no one has any objections, you will implement this rule. Are you clear?"
The servants all said that although everyone did not ask for extra money, at least there is not much room for operation in the future, so the servants were not dissatisfied with it.
But the concubines, ladies and young men all reduced the monthly silver. The rules were set according to the old rules, and they were not proposed by Chu Junlan. Everyone could not say that they were nobler than other royal families and needed more silver.
Everyone had to remain silent. After suffering this loss, they scolded Princess Cai and Chu Junlan in their hearts.
Jing Yu posted a "Notice" here and ran back to Jingxuan, telling Xiao Xu about Chu Junlan's actions.
Xiao Xu put down the "Zhuangzi" in his hand, lowered his eyes and looked at the white porcelain cup on the table. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"very good."
Jing Yu smiled and said, "That's right, I was secretly watching outside the door. The princess is so amazing. Seeing that those people were blocked and unable to speak, I wanted to wave the flag and shout for the princess. Princess, you are so lucky. The princess not only has good medical skills, but also treats you sincerely. If the princess is not careful about you, with her free and easy nature, why bother with these things in the prince's mansion?"
