A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 349

The next morning, Chang Ning and Xiao Jue began to check the assets of the palace, looking for places that could increase income and reduce expenditure.

In the palace, the furniture of the house is naturally not for sale, they are all things on the facade, a symbol of status.

The things grown in the mansion can be sold. In the past, Guanshi Ding, who was in charge of flowers and trees, stole flowers from the mansion for sale, and there was no flower field in the mansion.There are also several flower houses, and there are at least hundreds of pots of rare flowers such as peonies, bluegrass, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms, and some of them can be sold.

The treasures and antiques hidden in the warehouse can be sold. Although the most precious and valuable ones are basically taken away by King Zhenbei, there are still a lot left, which can be exchanged for money.It's just that the basic pieces of this kind of thing are unique, and it's easy to sell and hard to get back. Changning is a little bit reluctant to sell.

There are still a lot of water surface in the extra mansion. Although the fish and shrimps produced in it are not enough to sell, they can completely supply the kitchen in the inner courtyard of the mansion. You don’t need to buy extra, saving money is making money.

Speaking of the kitchen, Chang Ning was very glad that Xiao Qian drove all the masters of the inner courtyard together as soon as he came, so that people from all houses and courtyards could no longer use the small kitchen to cook, and immediately started saving money.

Chang Ning checked the previous accounts and was dumbfounded.My darling, these noble people can really enjoy themselves, guarding the kitchen in their yard to eat whatever they want, regardless of whether it is worth it or not.Women always eat bird's nest for breakfast, and all kinds of expensive ingredients compete with each other, and the food is delicate and expensive.

The monthly food expenses in the small kitchen are dozens of times that of the large kitchen in the outer courtyard. You must know that there are more than 1000 people eating in the outer courtyard, and only a few hundred people in the inner courtyard.

If the small kitchen is cut off, there will be at least 3000 taels of silver left in a month.

There is also the pharmacy in the inner courtyard, those side concubines, concubines, concubines, beauties, and high-grade servants in charge are really willing to make up for it, and they drink ginseng soup every time they have a headache.Although young ginseng is not that powerful and not expensive, it can't be used as a radish!The key is that its price is tens or hundreds of times that of radishes!

So Chang Ning waved his hand, bird's nest, abalone, bear's paw, etc. are not allowed to eat, and precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, snow lotus, donkey-hide gelatin, etc. are not allowed to be used if the disease is serious, and the purchase must be approved.

In addition, there are all kinds of incense and spices used in various houses and courtyards, and the price of these things is also extremely expensive.Now that the king of Zhenbei is not here, the women usually don't go out, so who can smell the fragrance at home, and they are not allowed to use it.

With just a few austerities, although there were many complaints in the mansion, the economic pressure was significantly reduced. Then, Chang Ning was stimulated by a courtyard again.

That yard was used as a warehouse, and the room was full of cabinets, big and small, full of clothes.From spring shirts to winter clothes, from children to adults, all kinds of silk, silk, satin, spun, crepe, yarn, velvet, silk, brocade, tweed, kudzu, silk, silk and even fur clothes.Each piece is gorgeous and exquisite, there are hundreds of sets, basically all of them are well preserved, and some are even brand new.

"Whose clothes are these?"

Chang Ning was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

"There are those worn by my father and my brothers and sisters. Most of them belong to me and my concubine. Some are worn out, some are too small, and some don't like it anymore." Xiao Jue replied extremely proudly: "My concubine and I only said that we would make ten sets of clothes every month, so how could we wear so many! Therefore, except for some rewards, most of them are thrown here."

Throwing it here means that it will not be worn again!Good clothes just waiting to rot like this out of sight?
It's not clothes, it's money, it's white money!

Prodigal, it is said that the Northwest is poor and cannot pay the military salary for many years. The king of Zhenbei spent all his money on women!It's no wonder that if you become a king like this, you can govern the Northwest well!

Hearing Xiao Jue's natural tone, Chang Ning really wanted to grab her head and shake her twice, telling her that even a princess can't spoil clothes like this.

Since no one is wearing the clothes in this warehouse, Chang Ning has to find a way to turn them into silver.

"Can't!"

Xiao Jue must have said that he wanted to sell the clothes he had worn, so he immediately screamed and objected: "How can I sell the clothes worn by my majestic princess and let those lowly people play with them?"

"Is it a lowly person to buy old clothes? You don't even look at the material of these clothes. How many pieces are affordable for lowly people? Besides, it's not selling clothes that you wear next to your body. Why not? "

"That's not okay. Many of my clothes are unique and I have worn them out before. If someone recognizes me and knows that I sell used clothes, where will I put my face?"

Xiao Jue blushed, but still disagreed.

"Then sell the unworn ones first, and sell the rest in the sewing room to make sure that no one will recognize them. As long as the material is good and the style is changed, it will definitely sell for a good price. These hundreds of sets of clothes Keeping them takes up space, and selling them will cost a lot of money, if you don’t sell them, tell me, where else can I get money from?”

"You said lightly, so how do you sell it? Will anyone buy it?" Although Xiao Jue was reluctant, she was very ashamed and indignant, but for the sake of money, she could only give in.

"Selling can definitely be sold, it depends on whether it can be sold at a high price. In short, let's sort out these clothes first. But you have to pick people with clean hands, feet, and strict manners to sort out. As you said, the dignified princess sells old clothes It’s really not a glorious thing, try to keep a low profile.” Chang Ning already has a rough idea of ​​selling clothes in her heart, but the clothes need to be tidied up first, so she won’t say it for now...

At the same time, in the dilapidated courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace, knowing that Xiao Jue and Chang Ning were taking care of the middle school together, the side concubines and concubines were dumbfounded at first, and then became indignant.

Concubine Xiao was the most angry, and couldn't help but said: "Didn't you say that she was going to be locked up in Yicuixuan to keep her filial piety? What's going on now? Why should she go out as her own daughter, and we still have to keep my filial piety in this broken courtyard?" suffer?"

"Mother and Concubine, please keep your voice down, Miss Qin is taking her elder sister to take inventory of property!"

Xiao Fu thought she saw it very clearly, and immediately said disdainfully: "Miss Qin just came here, so she must be unfamiliar with the environment, so I let my sister take the lead. When Miss Qin has mastered all of Zhongfu, do you think there is still room for my sister? Just use her as a bridge across the river!"

"That's not okay. What if she buys Miss Qin during this period of time? She is a princess after all. As long as the son of the world praises her a little, we will not be able to hold our heads up in front of her for the rest of our lives. Mother can have enough." I ended up humiliating myself in front of her."

Concubine Xiao had been in the mansion for many years, and she was often suppressed by the Liang family and Xiao Jue. She finally survived until the death of the Liang family. Just as she was thinking about taking over, King Zhenbei left.

King Zhenbei left as soon as he left, she thought that Xiao Qian and Xiao Jue who came here would not deal with each other, and finally it was their mother and daughter's turn to show up, but they were exiled to the small broken yard in a blink of an eye, and continued to look at Xiao Jue's scenery.

Why, how could she be willing to do this?
