Chapter 517: Crazy poor (three shifts)

"The mother asked Xiao Jiu to take the money to raise a woman for Liu Zhao. Xiao Jiu said that he wanted to save for the royal brother, so he could not spend money to raise a tiger."
Princess Huyang covered his mouth, giggled, and smiled happily.
She doesn't think it is too much to watch the excitement.
The expressions of Emperor Wen De and his harem women are really wonderful.
Obviously, they were all shocked by Gu Jiu's remarks.
The regular wife knows that the concubine raising the concubine in the concubine room is likely to end up with the problem of raising tigers and becoming the biggest rival of the son. It is even possible for the concubine to kill his son directly.
But these words, no one has spoken out confidently.
Gu Jiu's courage is worthy of admiration.
It's just that this is not so appropriate to say in the palace.
Emperor Wende laughed and asked casually: "The eldest wife, are you willing to give Liu Zhao money to raise a woman?"
Gu Jiu said aggrievedly: "The daughter-in-law is very poor, and all she earns is hard money. It is very expensive to raise women for the majesty. Four women say one to two thousand taels a year. If they add concubines and concubines, four or five a year. If the Shaofu or the Household Department is willing to pay the money, the daughter-in-law will have no objection."
Dream it!
Using the money from the Shaofu to raise a concubine for his son, Emperor Wen De was not so generous.
In order to save money, he kept dragging his sons out of the marriage, how could he use the money to raise a woman for Liu Zhao.
But Emperor Wen De still asked, "Raising a few concubines, so spending money?"
He didn't quite believe it.
Gu Jiu nodded his head, especially sincerely, "A concubine's room must be worthy of at least six maids and four wives. I eat daily, clothes for the four seasons, and rewards during the holidays. Your Highness will be rewarded for being comfortable.
After a year, raising a concubine will cost three or four thousand taels. If your Highness is generous and loose, it will cost ten thousand taels a year. "
Emperor Wende was secretly speechless, and couldn't help but recall that when he was in the mansion, did he spend so much money on raising women?
He looked at Queen Pei.
Empress Pei said indifferently, "Have you forgotten your Majesty? Back then, your Majesty spent a lot of money and just smiled for the Pomeranian, and spent fifty thousand taels in one night."
Emperor Wende laughed, covering up his embarrassment.
Where did you know the importance of money back then?
Now let alone telling him to spend fifty thousand taels for a Pomeranian smile, even if it is five hundred taels, Emperor Wende has to consider it.
People say that the higher the status, the more generous you are.
When it came to Emperor Wen De, it was all over.
When Emperor Wende was a prince, especially when he was young, he really spent money like water, it would be really generous.
Now, he is so stingy, to catch up with the stingy of the first emperor.
He looked at Gu Jiu, "Just because raising a woman spends money, you refuse. Aren't you quite rich?"
Gu Jiu took out the acting of the Oscar-level queen, and started crying poorly, "My daughter-in-law really has no money. The salary and Juelu of your Highness are not enough for him alone.
He wants to support people, and he has no money, so he has to go to his daughter-in-law to catch the autumn wind every three days. As soon as he came and went, he spent all the money his daughter-in-law made.
Just say that last year, he went out and spent one hundred thousand taels, all of which was paid by his daughter-in-law. At the beginning, I kept saying that this money would be supplied to me from the public office. After all, the money was spent on public affairs.
But after more than a year, my daughter-in-law did not see a penny. It's not that the daughter-in-law is not virtuous, but she has no money. "
"Ahem..."
Emperor Wen De was a little embarrassed.
Gu Jiu said one hundred thousand taels, he knew.
Just before the palace change, Liu Zhao secretly left Beijing and took people around to make contact, which cost a lot of money.
Afterwards, it was indeed said that he would replenish the money to Gu Jiu.
There is no reason to ask Gu Jiu to bear the expenses of the public school.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
At that time, Emperor Wen De was still the King of Ning. He was first established as the prince and then ascended to the throne, spending money everywhere.
Emperor Wen De wanted to spend a penny as a penny or two.
About one hundred thousand taels, he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb as he didn't know.
Never imagined that Gu Jiu would raise this matter in front of him today.
Emperor Wen De had to suspect that Gu Jiu was urging the account in disguise.
Gu Jiu: Your Majesty, you have the truth.
She was indeed urging her account in disguise.
Call Liu Zhaona concubine, okay, first pay back the debt last year. Let's discuss again where the money for raising women will come from. Will the Shaofu bear it?
The property of the palace is handed over to the Shaofu. The prince takes care of concubines, and the Shaofu can get the money.
The Shaofu refused to pay to raise a woman for the prince, so there is no reason to ask the daughter-in-law to take the dowry to raise a concubine for the man.
Shameless?
Gu Jiu is not stupid, how could he do such a thing that harms himself and others.
"What one hundred thousand taels?"
Queen Mother Xiao frowned and asked.
"Ahem..."
Emperor Wen De's cough became louder.
"What's the matter with your majesty? Is your majesty sick? Why did you cough up." Empress Pei looked concerned, but there was a narrow smile in her eyes.
She knew everything about 100,000 taels that others didn't know.
Emperor Wen De was not good to continue coughing, waved his hand, and said, "I'm fine, I just choked. Since Liu Zhao has no money, then don't raise a woman. If you want a woman, pay for it yourself. The money in Shaofu is not windy. Here, the flowers in the palace every month are an astronomical figure, how can it add a burden to the Shaofu?"
The Queen Mother frowned, "If you don't have money, you can't ignore your decency. The princes are older, and the princes who should be knighted, the man who should open the mansion, the land of marriage should be given."
Emperor Wende sighed and said with a wry smile: "Mother, I also want to be a generous emperor, giving nobility, opening a mansion, and giving marriage, all of which are done. But the treasury is empty, and the young mansion has no more food.
After a few years, the treasury will have money. A few boys, I will all be kings, and all will give money to open the mansion. You can raise as many women as you want. Ask the brats to give you a bunch of great-grandchildren to play. "
Empress Dowager Xiao looked unhappy, "The Ai's family does not play. The Ai's family is all about planning for the grandchildren, but one or two of them are all working against the Ai's family, and they are not sympathetic to the Ai's pains."
"It's really time to fight." Emperor Wen De solemnly said, "Come here, hit the board. Give Liu Zhao a hard hit, and let him know something good or bad."
"For those who celebrate the New Year, fight, kill, kill, what is it like. The Aijia punished him to kneel outside and reflect on it. There is no need to hit the board."
"The queen mother is kind. The stinky boy doesn't know what is good or bad, so he just punishes him to kneel and it is too cheap for him." Emperor Wende was fierce.
The Empress Dowager Xiao sternly said: "Your eldest son, you don't feel bad, but Ai Jia feels bad for you. If he is fined to kneel for two hours, it is almost the time."
Emperor Wende said, "If only two hours are fined, it is enough. Just fine him to kneel until the third watch and not get up until the first year of Wende."
Queen Pei frowned slightly when she heard this. But he endured not interceding for Liu Zhao.
Instead, Liu Yi stood up, knelt on the ground, and pleaded for Liu Zhao, "I beg my father. My eldest brother is also in trouble, so he will refuse the imperial grandmother's kindness. He was not intentional."
"I beg my father to show favor."
Liu Yiyi took the lead, and several other princes followed suit to intercede for Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiu's expression was touched and broken, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is lucky to have you brothers."
Emperor Wen De first scolded angrily, "Faulty!"
In a blink of an eye, he smiled and said to the Queen Mother Xiao, "This group of boys knows to cause trouble to the elders. Fortunately, they also know how to love brotherhood. Empress, do you want to ask them to get up."
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at Emperor Wende meaningfully, "Get up all. Ask Liu Zhao to get up too. In the big winter, kneeling outside, if the body gets cold and hurts the root, isn't it the fault of the mourning family."
"Mother's words are heavy. Liu Zhao's boy has a thick skin and is not bad to kneel."
That's how it was said, but Emperor Wen De didn't stop him. Instead, following the words of the Queen Mother, Liu Zhao was called in.
When Liu Zhao walked into the hall, Emperor Wen De scowled and yelled angrily, "Naughty animal, can you know what's wrong?"
Liu Zhao knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, "My son knows his fault."
Gu Jiu lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Anyone who is an emperor likes to call his son an evil animal.
His own child is an evil animal, so what is the emperor?
Didn't this curse yourself all in this?
However, the emperors are still happy. It seems that if you don't call evil animals, it can't represent royal majesty.
Don't understand!
Don't understand at all.
Emperor Wen De sternly reprimanded, "Since you know your mistakes, don't hurry up. The queen mother is kind, worried that you will not be able to kneel for a long time, and the cold will be in your body, and you will think about you everywhere. As for you, you can say something bad. After reading for so many years, have you read it in the belly of the dog?"
"The son and the minister knew what was wrong. The emperor's grandmother was kind, but the grandson didn't know what was good or bad. The grandson should die.
After speaking, Liu Zhao simply knocked his head three times neatly.
咚咚咚!
Gu Jiu felt a pain in his forehead. It took so much effort to make such a big movement.
Sure enough, after three heads were knocked, Liu Zhao's forehead had already broken a piece of oil. It can be seen that the petition is indeed sincere, and there is no falsehood.
Emperor Wen De nodded secretly, "Mother, can you calm down?"
Queen Mother Xiao: Ha ha!
"There is no anger in the Ai family, the Ai family is just worrying about it, but it is dismissed as nosy."
Emperor Wen De said sincerely: "The empress calmed down her anger. It was Liu Zhao, a nasty boy who was ignorant. This is the Chinese New Year, and I will spare him for the time being. After the new year, I will vent my anger for the mother."
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at Emperor Wen De, "Are you willing to vent your anger for Ai's family?"
Emperor Wen De made a cannibalistic appearance, "It's okay to kill him. Anyway, I have more sons, and it's okay to have one less son."
The Queen Mother suddenly felt boring, "It's okay, the tone in Aijia's heart has long since disappeared. What kind of fight, kill, I will say less later. It's scary."
Emperor Wende’s face change is like turning a book. The last second is a glaring King Kong, and the next second is a smiling face,
It’s good if the queen is relieved. For the Chinese New Year today, I prepared a gift for the queen. Later Ask someone to send it. Don't dislike the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager Xiao was finally a little happy, "It's hard for you. You manage everything and you are still thinking about mourning your family."
Emperor Wen De waved his hand, "This is what I should do."
The harem women like Empress Pei also prepared gifts for Empress Xiao.
Everyone gathered around her and said auspicious words, and finally made the Queen Mother Xiao happy.
Emperor Wen De took the opportunity to leave and went to the Piandian for tea.
He sent someone to call Gu Jiu to ask questions.
"No money? The money I earned has been subsidized by Liu Zhao? The eldest wife, I'm talking nonsense in front of me, but I will be beheaded."
Gu Jiu bared his teeth, 10,000 grass mud horses galloped past.
She said aggrievedly: "Don't dare to deceive your Majesty, my daughter-in-law is really nervous recently. The land is frozen in winter and it is not suitable to start work. But tens of thousands of refugees outside the city have to start work.
For work that could be done in one day, at least three days in winter. Not to mention the slow progress of the project, it spent a lot of money, even more than the summer.
The reason why the construction site outside the city can still be maintained is all supported by the Weibo profit earned from selling the house. After a year has passed, the daughter-in-law has to fight the famine again and find a loan from the Shaofu. "
Seeing Gu Jiu's look of madness, Emperor Wen De was suspicious, "Is there really no money?"
Gu Jiu nodded his head, "I really don't have any money. My Majesty has heard about it. The bonuses received by those in charge this year are twice as small as last year. The people below are complaining."
"is it?"
Gu Jiu's eyes are particularly sincere, "This matter is true. Your Majesty can send someone to investigate."
What she said is true and false.
This year, the bonus given below has indeed doubled, which is true.
What's false is that Gu Jiu didn't say that she donated shares of the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou to the manager below.
These shares are valuable.
It can be said that on the bright side, the people below get less bonuses. However, much more was obtained than in previous years.
How many people want shares in Cement Road, they can't buy it with money.
As Gu Jiu's employees, they have this benefit.
But this is true, there is no need to let Emperor Wen De know.
Lest Emperor Wen De was enthusiastic and snatched the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou.
"No money! I don't have any money either." Emperor Wende looked at Gu Jiu with a smile.
Gu Jiu: mmp, are all the emperors crazy?
She said weakly: "Last year's hundred thousand taels were all counted on Liu Zhao's head. Ask Liu Zhao to pay Juelu back."
Emperor Wende laughed, "Don't regret it?"
Gu Jiu shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle, "Never go back."
"That's great!"
