0723 Chang'an Fangju, big family is not easy
The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread being drawn.
Shangguan Wan'er's illness came quickly. Although the imperial doctors in Chang'an were carefully diagnosed and treated, and all the medicines and food were expensive, and the people from the palace who came to Chang'an with her caring care, they still recuperated until September before they could fully recover and recovered, no longer as if they were haggard at the beginning.
As for His Highness Yong, he never came again after meeting that night. There were many people in the residence who were talking about this, but they did not dare to tell him in person, for fear of affecting Shangguan Wan'er's mood for recuperation.
On this day, the residence was leisurely for a short time. After returning to the inner hall, Shangguan Wan'er instructed Liu Anzi: "Go and take the expenses book in the residence recently."
"My wife is newly recovered from serious illness and is only recuperating. She doesn't need to work hard on these idle things personally. Employing people in the residence is not an ordinary home and home, each with its own affairs..."
Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was still not in good spirits, Liu Anzi spoke.
"Come on, since you have left the palace, you should not get along with each other in the old days. If you follow me, you will be family members. You should always have a plan to maintain it for a long time after the new generation in the house."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled, but there was a cloud of haze in her eyes: "After entering the capital, I was sick and had no concerns about family affairs. I rarely saw some old faces recently, I am afraid that people will lose their hearts, right?"
When Liu Anzi heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Those separated people are indifferent, so why should you care about them!"
Shangguan Wan'er just smiled and said nothing more. She consciously felt that she was sympathetic with these people who left the palace, and she had some spare energy, so she gathered people around her. These people gathered around her, because they had nowhere to surrender, and maybe they still had the intention to rely on her and return to their residence in the future.
But after nearly two months, I have seen that the people and the people in the residence have lost contact with each other. This enthusiasm and expectation in my heart inevitably faded and each found another way out. This is also an extremely normal human consideration.
When the plot book was taken, Shangguan Wan'er looked through it for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "Home in Chang'an? It's really not easy."
There are more than 60 people left in the mansion, which is more than half less than when they first left the capital. Those who left? Those who still have friendship even said to each other in person, leaving a certain whereabouts. But there are also many who just leave without saying goodbye, and some even take away a large number of furniture before leaving.
When Shangguan Wan'er left the palace, in addition to the furniture she had accumulated over the years, plus Princess Yong and other old good things in the garden, it was more than 50,000 yuan in discounted money. This was already a considerable property for a female official who grew up in the deep palace and had no industrial rectification. Even in the two capitals where the powerful gathered, it could be called a middle-class family.
It is precisely because of this that Shangguan Wan'er has the confidence? Even if she lives in the palace and does not live with power, she can live a good life.
But starting from the capital of God, there were twists and turns. In addition, I bought a property in Beijing in advance and had no livelihoods for nearly two months after entering Beijing. Now that I have some tests, the savings in the residence are less than 30,000 yuan. Among them, the large amount of expenses is the residence of Zhaoguofang? I used 2,000 yuan to allocate 5,000 yuan to her uncle Zheng Xiuyuan. In addition, some of the dispersed people took away, the rest were all living expenses in the residence.
Seeing such a record, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but gasp. This money of more than 50,000 yuan was originally the savings she had prepared to spend the rest of her life, but now it has been less than half a year since she left the palace, but it has been reduced by nearly half. The livelihood issue, which originally didn't need to worry about, suddenly became serious.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's expression turned gloomy, Liu Anzi hurriedly said, "There are not all in the residence recently. There is a weaving farm in the yard to recruit weavers. The skillful workload can reach more than fifty cents a day. There are also more than a dozen people in our residence to work, and they can charge several hundred cents a day..."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er smiled, but her smile was a bit far-fetched. The daily input of a few hundred yuan is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people, but the monthly branch in her residence reached hundreds of yuan. Compared with the two, this input is really a drop in the bucket.
She looked through the book and found the problem. The mansion was simple and had little expenses in this regard. The money used was mainly extravagant and wasted. The monthly expenses of spices, powders, etc. alone reached dozens of tiny pieces. All of them were polite and other types of ice, charcoal and food, and the cost of living naturally increased greatly.
It is hard to say that the people in these palaces just don’t know the sufferings of the world. They are more or less likely to leave the palace and are unable to get used to the living within their means. In previous years, the cost in the palace was all provided, but when they arrived in the palace, they were still the same, and the expenses were naturally huge.
After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Wan'er ordered: "Go and summon the people in the residence and click on the five thousand treasures."
Liu Anzi was the female official of the Shanggong Bureau, and was smart and efficient in doing things. He quickly got what Shangguan Wan'er ordered.
Looking at the more than 60 people inside and outside the hall, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "In the past, they were all slaves who received the mission of noble people in the palace. Now that they have entered the yard, they are all brothers and sisters, which is meaningless. But within a household, there is also a rule of primary and secondary. Recently, I have been plagued by illness and have no family affairs, but from now on, the rules of family will still be created. People live in different palaces, and poverty is inevitable. There are a few things that can be set up in a shallow manner. You can pass on them and read them for details."
While speaking, she passed on several matters she had set up, mainly saving expenses and reducing procurement.
After seeing it, a palace maid said, "After leaving the palace, it will be like a newborn. If it were not for the superiors who should be accommodated, they would not know where to go. It is unnecessary to use luxury in previous palaces, so they were enjoyed by noble people. We are the slaves and servants who are despicable and should not be obsessed with the old ways. We should be frugal and last forever."
"Zhou Zhangzhi said nothing badly, but he lived in the same place. Some people worked hard in the weaving farm, while others were idle in the residence..."
Various discussions gradually sounded in the hall. Shangguan Wan'er suppressed the discussions of the crowd and said, "Since I leave the palace, I will be free. I will not enslave all the people with the old power, but if I want to stay in the residence, I will follow my rules. If I don't want to live together again, I will gather funds to thank me for my kindness. Although the gifts are not rich, they are also stored by the family of the two Dingzhong people for ten years, and they are frugal and have a continuous livelihood."
When the middle-aged people heard this, they all had their own thoughts. When they first left the palace, they might have been frightened by the strangeness of the world, and subconsciously gathered together to seek comfort. However, from Shendu to Xijing, they lived in the Fangguan for nearly two months, and they all had some mixed thoughts. At this time, they heard that Shangguan Wan'er gave him a hundred pieces of money to see him off, and many people were really moved.
Not to mention the miscellaneous plans of everyone, a big and round-hearted eunuch came out and said, "We should be in charge of our righteousness and care for us. If we are deeply concerned, we should not lose our responsibility. We should only stay in the residence, which has become a burden. I really dare not disturb us anymore.
There is still some leisure energy in this body. There is a widow in the house who is not a member of the family. I want to call me into his family and support my children. I have already made a private reservation and just wait for the order to be released. I will stay in the house in the future without losing my care. I am really ashamed to receive the gifts, so I only ask for a car in the house to make a living, and pay the car money every month..."
"It is a great joy to be able to be reborn and become a family. The money for the car does not need to be paid, and you always need to be with you when you enter the house. If your children are really raised in the next year, if I am still here, I must come to the door to get a wedding wine!"
Shangguan Wan'er was also sincerely happy to hear that the eunuch had made a living. However, the eunuch was still stubborn, signed a book and made a contract, and asked for monthly payment to the car.
After some discussion, more than twenty people chose to leave, some chose to receive the money, while others did not. In the end, there were only more than thirty people left in the entire hall, which was quite a bit desolate.
Shangguan Wan'er was not depressed either. She was young and was surrounded by the empress dowager. She saw so many sadness and joy in the world. Such a small matter was not a blow to her. She just told Liu Anzi to prepare a car tomorrow and go to the market for a leisure trip, and to see what livelihoods she could manage for a long time.
People in the palace are becoming more familiar with the house, but some people have put forward some suggestions. For example, this house could accommodate hundreds of people, but as many people left, there were many free houses, so they could modify the layout, with the front shop and the back shop, and the family lived in the back house, and the front house opened a residence shop.
Housing prices in Chang'an City are rising year by year, and Zhaoguofang is a good location in Dongcheng. Many families in the market are in this way, not worrying that there are no residents and the income is quite abundant.
Shangguan Wan'er, who was worried about the price of a house rental, was moved when she heard about the price of a house. However, she quickly shook her head and refused. Not to mention whether the guests had a complicated or not, it would be worrying if the person knew that she would not enter the palace, but instead opened an inn in the house and had a mixed bag of customers in all directions.
Some people also suggested that they simply push down the idle house, open up gardens, and plant flowers and trees in the house. Whether it is selling flowers or quenching essence and combining fragrance, it is a good input.
Shangguan Wan'er was very interested in this proposal. These palace ladies were not good at playing fields and farming and sang, but they were much more skilled in this kind of skills. Not to mention others, Shangguan Wan'er himself, who always had fun playing in the palace, and he was often able to take the lead. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was one of the few masters of Hexiang in the world.
A group of people's livelihood has not yet been agreed, but there is a noise coming to the door. The servant told the news that it was Wannian County Magistrate who was visiting.
Due to King Yong's relationship, the people in the residence paid more attention to the officials and personnel, so Shangguan Wan'er was also inevitable. So he quickly ordered the arrangement of the central hall, and set up a screen in front of the table, and personally came to the hall to receive it.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a light green official robe was introduced into the hall, raised his hand and bowed: "Liu Yu, a county magistrate in Wannian, took the opportunity to disturb the hall. I dare to ask if the court was registered with Mrs. Zheng, the king of Shangguan's county?"
Shangguan Wan'er's internal official position was naturally not allowed to be used outside the palace, so when registering property in Chang'an, she used her mother Zheng as the head of the household, and Zheng herself had the name of the county lord.
"My mother is old and Rong is in the hall. She rarely sees foreign guests. Please forgive me. If you don't know that the Lord of the Palace has entered the palace, what do you think of?"
Hearing the other party’s question, Shangguan Wan'er replied.
After hearing this, Liu Yu, the county magistrate of Wannian, did not ask more questions, and then said: "Chang'an City House has many ranks of Lords. The Xingtai is here to provide special gifts, ingredient materials, servitude, etc. In September, various states rented and transferred to various departments, and came to the door for this reason. The wife of the prefectures and counties should give materials, servitude, and compiled lists here. Please ask noble people to check it out. If it is correct, the slaves will enter the palace tomorrow for two months. The rest of the materials will be given gradually..."
While speaking, Liu Yu took out a list and handed it to the waiter in the hall.
Shangguan Wan'er was surprised when she heard this. When she was in Shendu, she heard that many deeds of Xingtai were harsh on the nobles and famous families. She did not expect that Xingtai was so considerate and even sent county magistrates to give them to her. Even her mother, a county magistrate with a low rank, did not miss it.
When the waiter handed over the list, Shangguan Wan'er browsed it casually, and was even more surprised by the abundant materials above. Her mother had ten slaves in the county rank, two months in winter and summer, and two months in each service period.
In addition, there are other materials such as rice, corn, meat, etc., and even mixed types such as facial fat, mouth fat, bath beans, etc. Although the quantity is not large, the categories are very rich.
Looking through the list, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but wonder: "The platform is so generous and generous, can the treasury be sufficient?"
"This is not necessary for noble people to do this. All food and wealth families have meritorious contributions to the country, and they are treated preferentially by the Taiwan Strait. Of course, there have been no missing since the implementation of the order style last autumn."
Shangguan Wan'er was half surprised and half angry when she heard this, and at the same time she felt a little disappointed. Hearing what the official said, Xingtai has treated the Lords' families so favorably since last year, but the Shendu court still had a very mean evaluation of Xingtai, which shows that it must be a slander of the wrong theory.
She vaguely expects or the person to treat her preferentially, but it turns out that she is just a regular practice, and after hearing what the official said, she just treats her family as an ordinary lord.
Putting aside the many misconceptions in his heart, Shangguan Wan'er said again: "His Highness Yong, Wang Zhi, has wise and benefited all families. However, my family is self-sufficient and has no effort to do good deeds. Those who are in charge of the yamen can avoid this hard work."
After hearing this, Liu Yu laughed and praised the noble man Gao Yi, but then said, "I would like to tell the noble man that this favorable order is only for the harmony of the people in the country, and it will not be prosperous or abandoned due to the gains and losses of the family. Materials are collected, stored and transported, and the collection and discharging of officials and slaves, and given to them by the solar eclipse. All of them will always be given. All the families will receive this favorable rule and will give them to them. If you spend it, please refer to them here.
While speaking, he took out another list and handed it on.
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she didn't feel anything different at first, but instead felt it was very reasonable. After all, all the grants given by the Lords were all from the court. Now, the exhortation of the exhortation of the exhortation was originally an extra income given by the court to Zhang Shi. If you are so kind to the exhortation of the exhortation of the exhortation, the various families should of course respond.
It should be noted that even the third rank of the imperial court gave to each official, the officials had to rectify the tail-burning banquet and attend the tribute to the Grand Palace. Although it was not a forced rule, it was not a big deal after all.
But when he bought this new list and saw the series of prices, Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows were jumping. Although the previous list was given a lot of materials, the detailed accounts on this list were clearly listed. All kinds of storage, foot-strength money, including the consumption of slaves' food, etc.
Not to mention anything else, in addition to the ten-month meal a day, the male slave month gives wine and the female slave month gives makeup. All of them are counted as money. Giving wine may be barely understandable, but when I recruit official slaves to the mansion, do I have to dress up every day?
When she asked this question casually, Liu Yu said seriously: "The so-called powder is just a matter of meaning. The female slave Yuexin Kui Water is indecent. Especially at this time, you need to be more careful. If you harm your body and life and make the slave have some shortcomings, it will not be a waste of money for the powder."
Hearing that the county magistrate had a hidden threat in his words, Shangguan Wan'er saw the final provisions on making the slave's personal safety. Once the slave is sick and strained, the master must bear it with all his strength, otherwise the official will ask for punishment!
Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er didn't understand what kind of favorable benefits this is, it is clearly a forced purchase and sale and a skillful plunder! Most of the gifted materials are self-sufficient, and even if they only trade, they are much higher than the price of dealing with the Taiwan market.
How many liters of bath beans are from the preparation of the station to the delivery of each store, it consumes a lot of money! Is this warehouse residence existed in the palace warehouse? Is this foot power delivered by King Yong himself?
"All things are not what I need, please go!"
After understanding the truth of this so-called courtesy, Shangguan Wan'er became even more irritable and said directly that she was still worried about her livelihood and turned to the government to blackmail her to the door.
Liu Yu was not angry when he heard this, but continued, "Walking on the platform to make this kind of favor ceremony just to be able to live in harmony with the families of food and wealth. As the preface, the order is always carried out, and there will be no prosperity or failure due to the gains and losses of a family. Everything given is far from being treasured by the people. If a noble person only makes a narrow plan, he may damage the great righteousness of the country that shares the power of the country! Since the affection and etiquette are contrary, harmony may become a false pursuit..."
Having said that, the meaning is already very obvious. Going to your house to forcefully buy and sell is already giving you face, not to mention that our products have quality assurance. If you are just a poor villain and don’t care about you, don’t be shameless!
"Bold! Do you know my master..."
Liu Anzi on the side could no longer hold back when he heard this. As soon as he opened his mouth, Shangguan Wan'er said quickly: "Stop talking!"
"The humble and courageous position is unsurprising. The king of Wei ordered an envoy to be appointed, and there is no fear!"
Liu Yu faced similar scenes more than once, so he responded with ease and had a fearless aura.
In fact, the value involved in this gift transaction is not very large, and the discount is only a dozen yuan, not to mention that it is not just for a trip. Shangguan Wan'er is just because she has just come into contact with the family plan and has a little resistant to this method for a while. But looking at the world, no one will take such a small matter to heart, and there is no need to offend Taiwan because of the small fuse.
But a woman from a county lord was extorted for more than a dozen of hers. Those formal titles such as county lords and lords, such as the Duke of the State, had to start with a hundred pieces. The city of Chang'an is crowded with honors, so it can be estimated that the amount of money can be collected from these families year by year, which is definitely a considerable income.
"This is Li Shenzhi who is paying money!"
Shangguan Wan'er cursed softly, and then said angrily: "Give him money! I'll hand it over to you at any time in the future, and you are not allowed to come to my house again!"
The master was angry, but Liu Yu was still unmoved and continued to say in the hall: "Since the noble man was disgusted with the humble job, and in order to avoid disturbing him again in the near future, there are other things in winter sacrifices, so he just handed over them together."
At the end of the winter year, ordinary families still need to worship their ancestors, let alone the Tian family. Although the emperor is far away in Shendu, the ancestral tombs in the pass cannot be left to waste grass, and of course it still needs sacrifices. Since last year, the imperial court has specially sent the prime minister to enter the pass to preside over the sacrifices with King Yong.
The titles were granted to other families and the titles were as honored as the country. At this time, there should be some contributions. For example, the oxen gold in the Han Dynasty was used to offer gold and sacrifices by the princes. Although the dynasty did not have regulations on oxen gold, they should prepare cultural relics according to the rituals to assist in sacrifices. Of course, most of the cultural relics used for sacrifices were forbidden weapons, and even if they were on the stage, they would not dare to exceed the ritual system. Since the Wuzhou, ordinary oxen sects simply paid money for their work.
However, when we arrived at Xingtai, the style of the order has changed again. People involved in the ceremony do not need to hand over the money directly, but only need to follow the official brocade specified in the Taiwan style according to the rank of the goods. The style of brocade is strictly stipulated and cannot be surpassed, otherwise it will be a serious crime.
What's even more, these official styles do not enter the market, and only the official market stipulated by Xingtai can be sold. In other words, if you want to pay a gift, you can only open your private warehouse and let Xingtai slaughter.
"This Li Shenzhi, Qian Wen is really a big deal!"
When Shangguan Wan'er learned about this regulation, she was stunned again. She was originally thinking that Xingtai was trying to use tricks to seize the robbery sooner or later, she would force all the nobles of Chang'an to the gods. I would not stay in Chang'an anymore, so how could you forcefully buy and sell?
Unexpectedly, I was more skilled in the Taiwan Strait and could not escape. Even if you ran away, your ancestral grave will remain in Chang'an. I will see if you come back or not! As long as you come back, you will visit your ancestors and worship the imperial tombs, you dare to absent?
"It is not easy to live in Chang'an? It is not easy to live in Chang'an! Those people in Shendu are really not wrong!"
Although Shangguan Wan'er was angry, she still paid as much as possible. She had previously forced her to sell it and worship the rituals. The Wannian County Magistrate Liu Yu took away hundreds of money from her house at one time. Although she also obtained dozens of official brocades, these brocade materials were used exclusively for sacrifices, and except for cutting ceremonies for her mother, the well-known county wife, the county princess, there was nothing else to do!
"There are more than a dozen official styles, this year, and it may not be the case next year! If you are fooling like this, aren't you afraid of complaints?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the dozen useless brocade materials sent into the mansion and couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Anzi next to him said, "Chang'an food and wealth, how many thousands of households can be counted as long as there are? But just our Zhaoguofang weaving farm makes a living, there are thousands of weavers, and it will be 100,000 weavers. If one worker and one household, one hundred thousand households can make a living by the people. With such confidence, will Your Highness Yong be afraid of those stingy lords?"
Of course, Shangguan Wan'er could figure this simple arithmetic clearly. She was angry and sighed again: "You should make a living quickly and have no more progress. I'm afraid you will be sucked by bones and marrow and squeeze it out!"
After Liu Yu went out with his wealth, Yujiepu summoned a bad coach and pointed to Shangguan's family door and said, "It's not so good to pay this family, so I may have to go through Taiwan's orders in private. In the future, you must be careful to keep an eye on the patrol!"
The bad handsome boy had a look of a humble appearance. After hearing this, he laughed and patted his chest and promised, "Please rest assured, Ma Jiusheng, I, had a hawk-eyed dog-nosed nose to observe traitors. I have not yet obtained the official position in the old year, and I can already observe traitors in the public. This family is a human or a ghost, so I can dig through it sooner or later!"
Chapter completed!
