A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 344
The income of the Zhenbei Palace mainly comes from farms, real estate, shops, taxes, and other indescribable aspects.

It stands to reason that for such a large palace, in order to maintain daily operations and prepare for emergencies, at least three to fifty thousand taels of cash should be reserved.

However, at this moment, there is not even 5000 taels on the books.

Chang Ning asked the reason, and several old accountants answered very directly; before May, there were nearly 20 taels of silver in the account, and they were all taken away when King Zhenbei and his son went to Beijing.

"Damn!" A bunch of women and children were thrown away, but all the money was taken away. King Zhenbei is such a scumbag!

Rao Changning has always maintained his ladylike image, so he couldn't help but swear when he heard this.

But that's not all. Before King Zhenbei left, he ordered people to forcibly collect the farm rent for the next year and the rent for the shop for the next five years.Sold several properties and land, took away most of Huining City's tax money and military pay, and also took away many treasures from the small warehouse in the mansion...

Calculating casually, at least 300 million taels of silver were taken away.

He took the money away, and a bunch of people in the palace were waiting to eat and drink, officials at all levels in Huining City were waiting to be paid, and the army was waiting to be paid.

Under his actions, Xiao Qian took over the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion seemingly with great glory, but in fact he took over a poor and white mess.

No wonder Zhenbei Wang obediently ran to the capital, co-authored and recruited here!

Without money, sooner or later people in the palace will be in panic, even the place to eat and sleep will not be safe, so how can Xiao Qian concentrate on politics?
Without money, the military salary and salary cannot be paid, the officials will have different ideas, the army will not accept Xiao Qian, and the people placed by the emperor have been eyeing them all the time, and they will definitely take the opportunity to create chaos...

Once it really gets messed up, it means that Xiao Qian is useless as the Prince of Zhenbei, and his situation will be dangerous...

In short, it is absolutely impossible to have no money at this moment.

For this reason, Xiao Qian was already thinking of a way, and he secretly transferred some money from other regions to meet the emergency.However, the entire Northwest is poor, and Huining City is considered the richest place. Now Huining City needs others to help, how can others live?
Especially in terms of military pay, at least a few 10 taels of silver are enough to pay. How can such a big hole be easily filled?

"More than 300 million taels of silver, even if it is exchanged for bank notes, it can pull a few carts. It is absolutely impossible for them to take it to the capital!"

Chang Ning reckoned and said to Xiao Qian: "So the money must have been hidden by him. As long as we can find it, we can overcome the current difficulties."

"I think so too, and with so much money, moving it is enough to attract people's attention. If he wants to hide, he will not hide far away. So I have been sending people to look for it recently, not only in the palace, but also in the palace where he sells money. The few houses that went out were also forcibly controlled first, but nothing was found."

Xiao Qian sighed and said: "Three million taels of silver is a lot, and it's a big pile! But compared to the huge Zhenbei Palace and even Ningcheng, what is it? It's not easy to find it?"

"It's not easy but you have to find it!"

Only then did Chang Ning suddenly realize: "No wonder you cut those people's expenses! I looked at the account books in the mansion, and they used to live in luxury. Such a cut, plus the money you got from everywhere The property, the palace can last for a few more months."

"Well, they've had too many good days, and it's time for them to live a miserable life."

Thinking of the group of people left behind by King Zhenbei, Xiao Qian felt bored, and immediately said with cold eyes: "In the future, they will stay in the northwest corner honestly, and I may still care about family affection. If they want to be monsters, I don't care." Do it a little more."

"Since you're not happy, don't mention them!"

Seeing that Xiao Qian's mood became bad when he mentioned those people, Chang Ning quickly persuaded him: "You concentrate on finding money, and tomorrow I will take a good inventory of the property in the house, maybe I can come up with a way to make money."

Chang Ning knows that if he wants to live on, he must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.It's a little easier to save money, just find a way to save money in all aspects. If it's open source, she will really have no direction for a while.

"There's no rush to make money, but you can still last for a while, so don't tire yourself out."

Knowing that Chang Ning has tidied up a bunch of stewards neatly today, Xiao Qian praised him very much: "I knew you could do it."

"It's all your fault, you put me on the shelf without even saying hello!" Chang Ning was still a little unhappy about this.

"I didn't want to tire you at first, but Princess Ayin was right. Sooner or later, the palace will be yours, so you should take care of it. It just so happens that the palace is in chaos now, and I don't feel at ease if it's changed."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qian hugged Chang Ning tightly with a playful smile, and said: "Good Chang Ning, good Chang Ning, I knew you were a good wife and my best goddess!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking nasty words, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, go to bed early!"

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chang Ning broke free from Xiao Qian and urged him to rest.

"Okay, I'm going back, and you should rest early." Xiao Qian was also tired, so he returned to Songtao Courtyard without saying anything.

The place where Changning lives now is called Tinglan Courtyard, which is a courtyard not far from Songtao Courtyard.The nearest courtyard to Songtao Courtyard is called Feiyun Courtyard, because it was lived in by the dead Liang family, Xiao Qian was shocked, so he ordered people to temporarily seal it, and Chang Ning was not allowed to live there.

While Changning and Xiao Qian were resting, on the northwest corner of Zhenbei Palace, the people who were forced to move were angry at the dilapidated courtyard.

There are too many courtyards in Zhenbei Wangfu, and there are many vacant and uninhabited courtyards.

Because the environment in the northwest corner is the most remote, the yards here are also vacant for the longest time.Although Xiao Qian simply ordered someone to clean and repair it, once he stepped in, he could feel the desolation and old and unpleasant musty smell everywhere.

The furniture inside was rotten, and some wardrobe doors fell off as soon as they were pulled, and unknown bugs crawled around, scaring a group of spoiled women almost to the point of screaming.

This environment is not as good as the house of the third-class girl next to the three side concubines!
Moreover, there is no small kitchen in the courtyard, and three meals a day will have to be delivered by someone from the large kitchen in the inner courtyard, so I can no longer eat whatever I want.

Apart from poor food and housing, Xiao Qian took away most of the belongings that everyone had accumulated over the years, which made them even more angry.

However, anger is anger, and now they have no power backing, they can only make a living under Xiao Qian's nose, they are powerless to hate Xiao Qianqian.

However, anger always needs a place to vent, and they couldn't help but blame Xiao Jue for this.

"It's all the princess's fault. If she hadn't been wearing filial piety clothes to see the elder son, the elder son would not want to deduct our expenses and ask us to keep our filial piety."

The most angry person here is Concubine Xiao who gave birth to the concubine Xiao Fu.

Originally, when King Zhenbei and the Liang family were around, Xiao Fu was not favored everywhere because she was a concubine. Compared with Xiao Jue's treatment in the mansion, it was like a sky-high.

Because Xiao Fu was also born quite beautiful, Xiao Jue used to bully Xiao Fu everywhere.

When he gained power, he didn't benefit from Xiao Jue, but now that he loses power, he will be implicated by Xiao Jue, why?
