Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Prince Lao Guo entered the palace and went to the Qianqing Palace. He was beaming when he came, and he was happy when he left. Behind him were eight inner eunuchs who followed him with a tray covered with a bright yellow cloth. It is a specification only available for prizes.

What happened?

As soon as the palace inquired, okay, Mrs. Shisun is happy!

Ding Tian came home from his errand that night, and when he had dinner with Wang Zuo, he found out that the second prince, who is now His Royal Highness, and his wife are pregnant!

"Pregnant?" Ding Tian thought for a moment, "Is it a good thing?"

In fact, things in the court and in the palace are very complicated.

"Li Chengsi is a man who really knows how to calculate. He is as virtuous as his mother and concubine. On the side of the king of Shenjun, the princess of Shenjun drinks more medicine than she eats every day. On his side, he has a doctor who is said to be experienced. Daughter, I took care of my wife every day, and I finally got pregnant." Wang Zuo happily told Ding Tian: "It is said that Prince Guo has already thought about it. If it is a boy, it will be called Li Changyi. It will last forever and be loyal forever."

"This child has just been conceived, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so...he has a name?" It seems a little too anxious, right?

"This is what Prince Guo said at the time of adoption. If he is gone in this generation, according to the rules, he will be the county king, and then the Duke of the country. If Li Chengsi inherits the title, he will be the Duke of the country, but I think, it is impossible for the emperor not to give him some compensation, that is to become the prince of the county, the prince should not think about it, because the prince inherited the prince because of his grace, he himself was adopted, so if he wants to be the prince, it is not very It's possible."

Wang Zuo knew all these twists and turns very well.

But Ding Tian didn't quite understand, nor was he interested, so he hurriedly picked up a chopstick of stir-fried rice and gave it to Wang Zuo: "Eat, eat!"

Although it was still in the first lunar month, the evening meal should not be too greasy, so their evening meal was stewed four whites, fried three shredded rice, and two rice, at most a shredded chicken, and a large bowl of cabbage soup.

"I heard that King Shenjun was imprisoned in the sky prison?" Wang Zuo also wanted to ask Ding Tian for dinner.

Ding Tian could see that His Royal Highness King Ning was very happy that King Shen was imprisoned in the sky prison. He ate two chopsticks of dried tofu that he didn't like to eat before.

"Well, it's locked in. I didn't know until I went there, but everything is done in accordance with the rules and regulations." Ding Tian whispered, "I've taken a shower and shaved my hair. Make sure that he can't hide anything all over his body, and the place where he lives is also clean." It is a "soft bag", and you can't find something even if you commit suicide."

The corner of Wang Zuo's mouth twitched: "What about the food?"

"He eats whatever we eat." Ding Tian snorted, "I won't give him any specialization, hum!" Wang Zuo was even more speechless: "Then did he eat it?"

"I didn't want to eat it at first, and I hated the bad food, but Eunuch Jin said a few words to him, and he became honest. Not only did he stop being picky about food, but he even drank the tea we made." Ding Tian said: " I entrusted someone to buy Pu'er from Yunnan, and I paired it with peach blossoms, so I lost weight."

After hearing this, Wang Zuo happily ate another piece of dried tofu with chopsticks.

At the same time, in the dungeon, King Shen had his dinner today in front of him: a large bowl of two rice, stewed four whites, fried three shreds, a serving of cabbage soup, a small dish of shredded chicken, and a dish of shredded chicken for him. Chicken, but the thigh and the meaty part of the chicken breast are almost all meat without bones.

It's just that the oil and water are limited, and it doesn't feel "luxury" at all.

"You guys just eat this?" King Shen had already dealt with the first meal, and he thought the second meal would be better, but who knows...it might not be as good as the first meal.

"Yes, everyone eats these dishes today. They come out of a big pot. Don't worry, this is the third dish." Eunuch Jin's big apprentice is in charge of serving today, Eunuch Lu: "Everyone It is to pick the best one and bring it to you."

This is the only prisoner, but he is of noble birth, so they have to take good care of him.

"Where did the first set and the second set go?" King Shen wanted to find Ren to reprimand him, so that he could establish himself in the prison today, at least not to be underestimated by the prison chief. he.

"The dog ate the first plate." As a result, the father-in-law Lu's answer made King Shen vomit blood: "The dog ate the second plate."

VI

The third dish was given to King Shenjun.

Prince Shen's face turned red with anger: "What did you say?"

"His Royal Highness Shenjun, please calm down. This is Master Ding's order. No matter what food you eat, even if it is a pot of boiling water, you must pour it out of the same pot, pour it into ten teapots, and pick out three teapots from the ten teapots. Pot, two of the pots should be drunk by the dog, and the dog will be fine after drinking, and I will bring you the remaining pot." Lu Gonggong said: "The slaves will eat whatever you eat, Master Ding ordered , you are here, everything is done according to his regulations, don't worry, these rules, the emperor has nodded his head, and will never treat you badly."

King Shenjun thought for a moment: "I know that this is for my own good, but can I eat better?"

He doesn't believe it, are these ingredients in the dungeon?

"If you go back to the prince of the county, these are the ingredients in the prison. Master Ding said that during your detention, you must not go out to buy the ingredients in the prison." Lu Gonggong still said respectfully: "Unless the imperial dining room The ingredients sent." The imperial dining room, that is what the emperor sent.

No matter how much the palace fights, no one can reach out to the Qianqing Palace, and whoever stretches out will be unlucky.

Emperor Yongqing's suspicion is very serious to the harem. There was once a beloved beauty who found out that a batch of pheasant eggs had been brought into the imperial dining room of the Qianqing Palace. Thinking that he loves to drink pheasant soup, he took advantage of Emperor Yongqing to go to the harem. When I was young, I told him that I wanted pheasants too

Emperor Yongqing loved her, and sent her a pheasant the next day, but after that, the beauty never saw Emperor Yongqing's face again, and the favor suddenly disappeared!

In the harem, a beauty is not favored, and she is worse than the grand lady. In addition, when the beauty was favored, she was too ostentatious. Only when she was stepped into the mud, did she realize that she had committed a taboo, and secretly inquired about the Qing Palace. Things, that's a big taboo in the harem.

Unfortunately, she knew it too late.

King Shen Jun had nothing to say, he ate this dinner aggrieved, in winter, Ding Tian's habit was to eat two meals, one at dawn and one before dark.

So King Shen Jun ate in this way in the sky prison. During the period, there was no supply of snacks and tea, only boiled water, no snacks, let alone melon seeds and peanuts.

King Shen Jun has never lived such a life since he was born. The first day was fine, but he was bluffed. From the second day on, he thought too much.

After three days, he couldn't help it: "I want to see Ding Tian!"

He wants to see Ding Tian, ​​but Ding Tian has no time to see him.

Except for the first day when Ding Tian came to see him, he never came again, but on the second day after King Shen was imprisoned, Ding Tian received the news from the "guards" that someone gave gifts to the guards, and wanted to know what happened in the prison. What is the situation?

"How much did you give?" Ding Tian was more curious. This prison is a bit like the emperor's private cell. The person locked in is the emperor's own son, the eldest son.

In ancient times, the eldest son was highly valued. Even if he joined the army, neither the eldest son nor the only son could join the army.

Because this is used to pass on incense, a rule passed down from ancient times.

"Three people came, one is Princess Shenjun, who gave a silver note of 100 taels, just asking for permission, how is the Prince Shenjun doing here?"

"A person was sent by the imperial concubine, and I just want to show King Shen a little face, take care of him, and don't embarrass him too much." Li Zhanyuan is the most thoughtful one among the four chief guards, but he also felt emotional: " It's been many years, and it's been a long time since Biaoxia has been on duty in the palace, and the concubines and concubines have always raised their heads and passed by Biaoxia, this is the first time that they will also bow their heads and beg for help."

"A fluffy phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken." Ding Tian knew that it was normal for people in the palace to step on the high and flatter the low.

"There is another person from the Prince's Institute, who is the current manager of the Prince's Second Institute, a father-in-law named Huang Rucai. He came to find out what happened to the old master, and he gave the most money." Li Zhanyuan said: " Princess Shenjun gave 100 taels, the imperial concubine gave 300 taels, and this Eunuch Huang gave 500 taels!"

When Ding Tian heard it, he said, "500 taels? You're quite rich!"

According to the rules in the palace, although silver is a good thing, it is not convenient to take it. Therefore, the most circulated currency in the palace is silver bills.

Unless it is the emperor or the masters who have been rewarded seriously, they can only have cash, and the rest are silver notes.

"That's right, the little ones are all tempted." Li Zhanyuan looked at Ding Tian, ​​wanting to see what rules Master Ding has?The people under them like to follow the rules.

"Take the money, um, share half with you, and put the other half into the public account." Ding Tian also learned badly: "Then do this....

After listening, the corner of Li Zhanyuan's mouth twitched: "My lord, isn't this a bit too much?"

?? They inquired about the prison, isn't it too much? Ding Tian said: "Also, have there been too many things these two days?" "

"Yes, we didn't ask for any ingredients. Someone from Qingfeng Division from the Imperial Dining Room came to ask if we wanted ingredients. It's been half a year, and I have never seen them ask for anything. This time, they came here on their own initiative. Send us the ingredients!" Eunuch Jin finally spoke, because Li Zhanyuan's affairs have been settled, and it's his turn to speak: "This old slave has never seen Qing Fengsi so positive, I can't wait to see you." Bring us the ingredients we need that day."

Qingfeng Division is in charge of animal husbandry of cattle heads and sheep.

The House of Internal Affairs of the imperial palace is assigned a minister in charge to take turns to manage it every year.

The department has doctors, Yuanwailang, principals, entrusted principals, pentieshi, scribes and other staff.

It is a special place to manage livestock and poultry in the palace. There are also cattle and sheep pens, pasture plants, etc. in the outskirts, all of which are paid by special personnel.

The palace is as big as beef, as small as a small pheasant, and they are all here to take care of it. It's all meat!

However, Qingfengsi also watched people order dishes. They were in charge of a lot of things in a place full of oil and water. Naturally, those who had small kitchens in various palaces would go to them for ingredients.

In fact, Tianlao also has a certain share of the ingredients, they dare not skimp, after all, they are all watching, and Ding Tian has a backer!

His Royal Highness King Ning is someone who dares to beat even the prince. In front of the emperor, he has beaten the King of Shenjun twice. Who dares to provoke him?

Therefore, the ingredients in the sky prison are delivered once a quarter, and during the Chinese New Year, they are frozen in winter, and the meat, fish, etc. are frozen outside, and eaten slowly, they will not spoil.

There are still three big fat pigs, ten mutton sheep, and two cows in the sky prison that have not been eaten, and they are all frozen.

There are also frozen goods such as fish, shrimp and crab, as well as pickled vegetables, sauerkraut and sun-dried vegetables.

There is no need to send it away at all. Logically speaking, Qingfeng Division can at least be free until Kaihua. At that time, the meat can't be frozen, and it will spoil if you don't eat it. It's a day when you eat a lot of meat.

After consuming the meat, he can continue to ask Qing Fengsi for things.

It's interesting that it's delivered to your door so early.

"Tell them that it's not too late to deliver the ingredients after the Ching Ming Festival." Ding Tian pushed the time to March.

"In addition, the Guangchu Division has also come." Eunuch Jin said with a smile: "I am very active and asked the old slave if he needs any supplies?"

Guangchu Division is amazing, compared to Qingfeng Division, Guangchu Division is really a fat job!

The Guangshou Division has set up silver warehouses to store gold and silver, leather warehouses to store leather, ivory, rhinoceros horns, etc., porcelain warehouses to store porcelain and copper and tin utensils, satin warehouses to store wrought, yarn, silk, damask, silk, cloth, etc., clothing The warehouse stores court clothes, plain clothes and palace clothes, etc., and the tea warehouse stores tea leaves, ginseng, incense, paper, pigments, wool, etc.

Under the six warehouses, there are silver workshops, copper workshops, dyeing workshops, clothing workshops, embroidery workshops, flower workshops, leather workshops, hat workshops, and sewing workshops, which are responsible for various items.

The Guangchu Department is managed by a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on a rotating basis every year. The department has a chief manager, Liuku Langzhong, Liuku Langzhong, Zhongwai Lang, Treasurer, Secretary Craftsman, Deputy Treasurer, and Treasurer.

To put it bluntly, Guangchusi is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
