Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Before Lady Hu could finish being moved, Lady Xu spoke again:

“There are many things waiting for you.

There is one more thing. I will open a separate treasury in the harem, and I will attribute the expenses of the harem to the queen.

You write a set of rules, specifying how to withdraw and deposit money, and I will ask the emperor to stamp it and solve the problem once and for all.

How can a mistress of a house ask the master for money every time she needs it? What kind of mistress is that! Humph! "

"This, my lady, is not good."

Concubine Hu was frightened by Xu's sudden turn of events and showed shock in front of everyone for the first time.

When the late emperor was alive, if a cup or a bowl was broken in the harem, he would deduct the money from the concubines' monthly allowance.

As for money, he is very careful.

The late emperor only added three drops of sesame oil to his cabbage and tofu.

Those people in the palace dare not even drop three drops of fragrant oil.

"What's wrong with that? For a family with a decent foundation, it's inevitable that the mistress will be the housekeeper and the financial manager. But this old Zhu family, hum——"

Xu felt.

The rules and management of the harem, as well as the control of money, are very much like those of the previous emperor, a local tycoon, and very stingy.

Only my mother-in-law, who has a very broad mind, can tolerate it.

The concubines in the harem are under the management of six bureaus, the six bureaus are under the management of one department, the one department is under the management of the internal supervisors, and the eunuchs are under the management of the emperor.

Although the queen can crush the concubines in terms of rank.

But the actual power they have is pitifully small.

The worst thing is that all the expenses of the harem are not managed by the queen.

According to the rules, no matter whether it was the empress or the concubine, the expenses of the palace had to be listed by the palace lady and applied to the emperor.

After the emperor agreed, the list was transferred to the Imperial Household Department.

After the eunuchs prepared the money or other things, they would report to the emperor again.

Only after the emperor confirmed that it was correct did the eunuch notify someone to come and collect it.

This is simply ridiculous!!!

A steward is responsible for both money and people.

Money is more important than people in most cases.

Every time he needs to spend money, he has to reach up, and the reasons for spending the money must be clear and understandable in every detail. Over time, won't this person be crushed into the dust?

This is not how she can be called a queen. She is not even qualified to be a housekeeper.

When she was in the palace accompanying the late queen, she would go to the palace in the morning and return home in the afternoon, but the late queen never mentioned this at all.

She really thinks her father-in-law is very good to her mother-in-law.

turn out to be....

Forget it, don’t think about it.

"My lady, do you mean the entire inner treasury?"

Hu Shanggong was in a very bad state.

She understood that what the Queen meant was that the family's money would be under the control of the Queen.

In this family, the emperor and the queen are the only ones who are considered a family.

Reasoning from this, it is the Emperor's inner treasury, and the Empress is in charge of it?

"That's not the case. You still have to leave some private money for men, about 70% to 80% is enough, leave some vases, antiques, bowls, plates, etc. If the emperor has any temporary rewards, he can give them real things."

Xu nodded as a matter of course.

Compared with the previous emperor, her man seemed more reliable.

From the time the two got married to the time the whole family came to the capital, Zhu Di didn't even know how much money the palace had.

Whenever he needed money, he would just ask Xu for it.

Whenever Xu said she had no money to spend, Zhu Di would submit a memorial to his father to complain about his poverty.

Such a fine quality cannot be destroyed in the imperial palace of this capital.

And now Zhu Di is the one who is crying poor.

She still had to seize the money to prevent Zhu Di from spending it all without any idea.

It was a bit too much to ask for the entire treasury, but Xu felt that taking away all the cash was not excessive at all.

If Zhu Di needs it, just ask her for it.

Speaking of which, as the queen, she was in charge of the harem and spent more money than Zhu Di.

The renovation of the imperial city alone is costing money every day.

Sometimes you need this, sometimes you need that.

A while ago, she was still patient and followed the ancestral laws.

Now that the table has been overturned, let’s just do it in one go.

Based on her understanding of her man, she proposed all of the above and he agreed.

But if she wants to abolish the practice of burying people alive with their dead, she still needs to figure out how to proceed.

The late emperor made some stupid mistakes before his death, and as his daughter-in-law, it was not appropriate for her to bring up the issue.

Zhu Di had to figure it out himself.

"Yes, Madam. I will draw up a charter for your review tomorrow."

Hu Shanggong took a deep breath and accepted this glorious and great assignment.

The harem had been dominated by the late emperor for a long time, and later on, the concubine's mother was also not very smart. Now, finally, someone who understands has come.

"Mother is mother!!!"

Zhu Zhiming hugged Xu and started to rejoice.

Her mother was always cool before, and now she is even more dignified, which makes her, as her daughter, feel very proud.

"You are the fastest to act cute! Your marriage is so worrying."

Xu pinched Zhu Zhiming's face, feeling a little conflicted.

As for the Song family, Zhu Anle is unwilling, and Xu certainly won't use Zhu Zhiming to fill the hole.

The eldest son of the Song family is widowed, the second son has already married, and there is still a third son left.

In terms of age, the third child can be given to either Zhu Anle or Zhu Zhiming.

But the Song family is certain that the eldest son will inherit the title.

If they let their younger son become the princess consort, there would be more uncertainties in the eldest son's inheritance of the title.

So, the Song family was out.

Zhu Di was now worrying about what to do to make everyone feel at ease.

"I think Song Xuan is quite suitable for Aunt Eleven."

Zhang Xin suggested.

The main reason why my father-in-law wants to marry a princess is to win Song Sheng's heart, so it doesn't matter which princess he marries.

Princess Nankang was born in the sixth year of Hongwu, and was less than 30 years old at that time.

Song Xuan, the eldest son of the Song family, seems to be just forty years old now.

Both of them also have children.

One is a widower and the other is a renounced husband, it's quite suitable.

The most important thing is that Princess Nankang is a person without a backbone.

Zhu Gaochi gathered all the evidence that his son-in-law Hu Guan took prostitutes as concubines and abducted women, and he reported Hu Guan to the censor for all five kinds of vicious acts.

Even when Hu Guan was in prison, she still devoted herself to protecting him, believing that a married woman should obey her husband.

Ever since he was forcibly divorced by Xu, he felt ashamed to face people. He was depressed in the princess's mansion and fainted several times.

Hu Guan's home was very clean and tidy. After Hu Guan wrote a letter of repentance, he committed suicide in prison out of shame.

After Hu Guan died, the Hu family began to focus on winning back Princess Nankang.

During this period, Yao Niang was sent to the Nankang Princess's Mansion many times to take care of the princess's health.

When he came back, he said that the emperor should arrange for Princess Nankang to remarry.

Otherwise, that feeling of guilt would torture herself to death.

Although it is said that when you first marry, you obey your father, and when you remarry, you obey yourself.

But Princess Nankang does not have the character "己".

She was used to living around other people.

The children she gave birth to with Hu Guan, relying on the fact that they were the princess's flesh and blood, had been secretly oppressing the princess.

If the princess continues to be a widow, one day she will be eaten up by her children and the Hu family.

No matter how others try to stop it, it's useless.

She couldn't stand up on her own.

Only a new husband's family who won't suck blood from the princess can solve everything.
