Chapter 262 (1/2)
”See father, mother and concubine.”
The man who came out from behind the trees was the king of Ning and the Pei family.
Surprisingly, they were also in the garden and heard Gu Jiu's conversation.
It turned out that Pei took out the regulations, and finally convinced Ning Wang to agree to cut the cost.
But Pei was worried that things would not go well, so he persuaded Ning Wang to go to CHUNHETANG.
Then he summoned all the people to announce the cutting cost.
It is believed that no one dares to oppose the king of Ning.
Ning Wang stares at Gu Jiu, ”it's hard for you to think about the overall situation. People are worried when they hear about the cost of cutting. ”
The daughter-in-law said, ”the daughter-in-law wants to take advantage of her mother's worries.”
Ning Wang nodded approvingly, ”you have a heart.”
After a pause, he said, ”at this difficult time, extravagance and waste are strictly forbidden in the palace. Both of you should learn from Dalang's daughter-in-law. Don't just think about your acre of land all day long, and just think about how much you lose by cutting costs. I have to think more about the palace. The Ministry of housing is cleaning up the accumulated debts over the years, and the palace is still extravagant and wasteful. Is this reasonable? ”
Ouyang Fu and Xiao qin'er are both cowardly and dare not speak.
King Ning is so dignified and natural that he has made a speech. Who dares to refute it?
Pei's heart is happy, this time the king finally stands on her side. In this way, the cutting cost is imperative, no one can stop it.
King Ning again snorted, ”follow this king to Chunhe hall to discuss affairs.”
”Yes.”
King Ning is ahead.
Pei kept up with her, and did not forget to remind Xiao qin'er, ”take care of your mouth and don't talk nonsense.”
Xiao qin'er nods wrongly, ”daughter-in-law listens to the mother's concubine.”
Pei looked at Gu Jiu again. His eyes were complicated.
I didn't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law from the lowest background was the most knowledgeable of the three daughters-in-law.
She thought for a while, or to Gu Jiu said: ”you also follow.”
Gu Jiu nodded his head and took the order.
Ouyang Fu sighed quietly and whispered, ”it seems that the cutting cost is imperative and irreparable.”
Princess Huyang is also a failure. It is obviously impossible for her to make a mess of the excrement stick and let her influence the idea of the prince and the princess.
Gu Jiu said: ”since it is irreparable, it's better to think about what to do next.”
Ouyang Fu chuckled softly, ”or sister-in-law has foresight. We can only complain, not as much as sister-in-law. ”
Xiao qin'er didn't like to hear that.
”The second sister-in-law is too self belittling. According to what you mean, we are all stupid people, only sister-in-law is awake? ”
Ouyang Fu said to herself, ”look at me. I said something wrong again. Four younger brothers and sisters, don't have a common understanding with me. ”
Xiao Qin Er snorted and said to Gu Jiu, ”sister-in-law is just lucky.”
Gu nine shallow smile, ”four younger sister-in-law said right, I am indeed a bit better luck than ordinary people. But luck is also part of strength. ”
Xiao qin'er's face changed again and again.
Gu Jiu no longer pays attention to her, with people straight to CHUNHETANG.
The whole family was informed and came to CHUNHETANG. The hall is full.
Even the three young men and three ladies, who seldom appeared at ordinary times, came out.
The third lady, Cai, is not in good health and has been resting.
She was pale and weak.
It was about to March, and the weather was warm. She was still wearing a thick winter coat. Her lips were blue and purple, and she had no blood color.
Look at the third childe, Liu Yan, is also a pale ghost like face, there is a long time not see the sun sick.
The husband and wife, sitting in a wide chair, have a kind of child sitting on a big stool, filled with the feeling of dissatisfaction.
In the past, Gu Jiu had little contact with the third son and the third wife.
Even when she came in to serve tea the next day, neither of them showed up.
Now looking at the close range, these two people's bodies are not good.
”Now that all the people have arrived, I will talk about the next arrangement.”
All the people in the room held their breath and looked at King Ning.
Ning Wang's eyes from each face one by one, a pair of deep eyes, seems to have the ability to see through the heart.
Many people lowered their heads subconsciously after Ning Wang's glance.
Ning Wang's face was expressionless, not angry from Wei, ”the Ministry of household cleaning up accumulated debts, this matter you all know. Outside, the palace owes a large sum of money to the household department. Inside, the palace can't make ends meet.
If we don't find a way to contain it, the palace will follow the example of Princess Huyang's house and eat more than it can afford.
What's the situation of Princess Huyang's residence? I don't need to talk about it. You all know it.
The king also believed that no one hoped that the palace would be reduced to the princess's house.
Princess Huyang is in trouble, but she still has this king to rely on. If the king is in trouble, who can rely on him?At that time, if the skin does not exist, how will the hair attach? Therefore, after discussion, the king and the princess decided to cut the cost of the palace from now on. ”
Here it is!
At last!
But I didn't expect that Pei could really persuade the Lord to endorse this matter.
No one spoke, but everyone was upset.
Many people secretly exchanged eyes and shook their heads slightly.
Who dares not obey the Lord's words?
Pei's light cough, will attract people's eyes to their own body, ”about the cutting cost, from two aspects. One is to lay off people. In every courtyard, at least 10% of them should be laid off. ”
Cut 10% of them?
There was a lot of discussion.
”Is it too much?”
”Do you really want to lay off people?”
”Please take back the princess.”
”It's not enough for me to use my hands. It's a mess to cut 10% of the staff.”
”Shut up Pei Shi scowled angrily, ”this matter is decided by the Lord, who dares to disobey it?”
The crowd looked at each other.
Chen Liangyuan looked at King Ning and said, ”Lord, do you really want to abolish people? There were only a dozen or so people in the courtyard, each of them performing his own duties, and there was no one who was cheating or playing tricks. It's really impossible to cut down the manpower! ”
King Ning hummed twice, without any negotiation, and said, ”follow the instructions of the princess.”
Chen Liangyuan was shocked.
The prince dotes on her most, and always responds to every request. Why did the Lord ignore her request this time.
Pei's heart is very happy. Do these bitches really think they can do whatever they want with the help of the king?
Hum!
Before the Imperial Palace became a big profit, they all had to hold their tails to be human beings.
Seeing Chen Liangyuan lose face, several people who were ready to speak also beat the retreat drum.
”I don't know what measures the princess and empress have prepared in addition to cutting off the staff. I'm all ears.”
Shen asked in a soft voice.
Pei, with a straight face, said: ”the second aspect is to cut the monthly schedule of all the people in the mansion, and the cost of cutting each courtyard is 30%
Cut 30% of the cost, is this to force everyone to drink?
For example, the eastern courtyard where Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao lived had a fixed cost of 2000 Liang per month, and 30% of the total cost was 600 Liang.
Six hundred taels are lost in a month, and many things seem to be in short supply.
It's the same thing that you can't walk without money.
No money, no servant will kill you.
”Cutting 30% is too much? Everyone was not rich and had little spare money. It's really hard for us to cut so much at once
Shen's wife looked at the king of Ning.
King Ning didn't say anything, apparently acquiescing Pei's decision.
Shen side imperial concubine slightly frowns, what kind of infatuation soup did Pei Shi pour to the prince? Unexpectedly, he let the prince stand on Pei's side completely.
But she did not know that Ning Wang was helpless.
No money, no courage.
Before thinking of a new open source method, Ning Wang did not dare to show off, saying that everything was the same as before. We can only follow Pei's advice.
Anyway, Pei's starting point is good. One year later, at least, he can save fifty or sixty thousand Liang silver for the palace.
Therefore, King Ning had no reason not to support Pei's decision.
Luo side imperial concubine asks a way: ”concubine has a doubt, do not know should say.”
