Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

In fact, if the original person had a lot of money and gave a little to her parents' home, her family might be grateful. On the contrary, she emptied herself and gave all her money to her parents' home. Not only would they not be grateful, but they would think it was natural for the original person to give them money and would not take her seriously. Once she stopped giving them money, they would get angry and make trouble for her daughter.

Yes, Linlang estimated that if she didn't give the money, her original family would definitely make a fuss. Don't say they are ungrateful. It was all because of her original family's greed.

Not to mention that Linlang ignored the letter from her original family, but just said that the day after Linlang entered this world, the mansion distributed monthly allowances, rouge, powder, clothes, etc. Dongcao took Linlang's things back. Linlang looked at the two taels of monthly allowance, plus the original body's previous savings, which was exactly ten taels. She couldn't help but realize that it seemed that her original family had completely grasped how much money she had, so they deliberately chose this time to ask for money.

Knowing that the original person had saved ten taels of silver and could come over to ask for it, he wrote a letter.

However, Linlang planned to exchange the ten taels of silver for gold at a money shop.

The reason for this is that overseas trade is booming and silver is pouring in. According to the original body's memory, one year later, ten taels of silver will not be able to exchange for one tael of gold, and it will take eleven taels of silver.

Linlang speculated that as overseas trade became more and more developed, it would be possible to exchange twelve or thirteen taels of silver for one tael of gold in the future.

This is also normal, because in modern times, the ratio of silver to gold is even more disparate, the gold reserves are small, and the silver reserves are abundant. I am afraid this is also the case in this world.

Anyway, no matter whether this is the case or not, it is necessary to exchange silver into gold at any time. After all, gold will become more and more valuable and silver will become less and less valuable after a year.

After you can change your money into gold at any time, when you need to spend money in the future, you can change the money into silver. This is equivalent to having more money. How great is that?

She only has this much monthly salary now, and has no other way to make money, so she can only save some money this way.

Of course, she would not be satisfied with this and would definitely find a way to make some money so that she wouldn't have to live a hard life when she moves out in the future.

She doesn't want to have a bad life in the future.

Thinking of this, Linlang asked Dongcao to go to the money shop and exchange ten taels of silver for one tael of gold.

As a woman living in the inner chambers and with a young child, she was worried about leaving the child completely to the servants, as it would be inconvenient for her to go out, so she asked Dongcao to do the job.

She was not afraid that Dongcao would swallow her money, because this was just a test. If Dongcao brought back one or two taels of gold, at least it meant that there was no problem with Dongcao for the time being; if he just exchanged the gold and did something tampering, it meant that there was a big problem with Dongcao.

Dongcao naturally didn't know that Linlang was testing her, so she took the silver and went to the bank to exchange it for one or two taels of gold.

Because of the feedback from the little bee monitoring and the scan from the therapeutic device - the scanning function of the therapeutic device can also be used in this regard, and can quickly scan out the elemental composition and weight of gold - so Linlang was relieved this time, because both the little bee and the scan from the therapeutic device showed that there was nothing wrong with the winter grass, and they successfully brought back one or two taels of gold for Linlang.

Yes, Linlang also had doubts about Dongcao, which was normal. After all, if the original body was poisoned to death, then the maids around her would be the most suspicious, so it was normal for her to investigate.

After confirming that there was no major problem with the winter grass this time, Linlang began to increase revenue and cut costs in an effort to increase her income.

The method of increasing income is not difficult. Since becoming a concubine, the original body has been given some clothes and jewelry by the palace every year, and many of those jewelry are silver jewelry. Because she is just an ordinary concubine, and the income of the palace is not much, there are not many gold jewelry, only some silver jewelry. Of course, the main reason is that the original body is not favored, otherwise the Qingjiang County King would have given her extra rewards.

Linlang planned to sell these silver ornaments to the concubines in the mansion.

The reason why they don't melt it or pawn it at a pawn shop is because jewelry is a work of art, and it would definitely not be cost-effective to melt it. If they pawn it at a pawn shop, the price will not be particularly high, so it is better to sell it to other people. As long as the price is lower than the price outside, there will definitely be someone who will buy it.

Linlang immediately sorted out those things and sold them to other concubines in the mansion and even some housekeepers' wives, and they were quickly sold out.

Just like Linlang thought, as long as the price is cheaper than buying it outside, these people will definitely be willing to buy it.

The original body's jewelry, even if it was made of silver, was not much. After selling them all, he only got ninety taels. He exchanged it for nine taels of gold. Together with the one tael of gold before, he was able to exchange for two small gold ingots weighing five taels each.

One year later, these ten taels of gold will be worth one hundred and ten taels, and it will continue to increase. This investment return is not bad. After all, given my original condition, I can only make some money this way for the time being. When I have more money in the future, I will find a way to buy some houses or land.

In addition to selling things to increase revenue, Linlang also wants to gain a reputation for herself.

The reason why she wanted to do this was that even for the lowest status of a selected concubine, the monthly salary could reach five taels, which was much better than now. The annual benefits such as clothes and jewelry would also increase accordingly. More importantly, Linlang had seen that the food for a selected concubine was much better than that for a concubine without a title, and this was exactly what she wanted to improve.

A prince has two concubines, four concubines and eight selected concubines. These are all official titles, which means that these titles have ranks. Even the lowest selected concubine is of the seventh rank, not a commoner.

Therefore, whether it is because of the treatment or the status, it is obviously necessary to gain a status.

Linlang's method was to prepare some gifts for Prince Qingjiang's other concubine, Concubine Wang, and ask her to help speak up.

At present, there are still some vacancies for the title of Prince of Qingjiang, so you can still fight for it.

In fact, it would be best to give gifts to the favored Concubine Song, because if she is willing to say something, it will be most effective. However, since Concubine Song is favored, if the gift is small, she will not take it seriously. If she wants to give a big gift, she has no money, so it is unrealistic to ask Concubine Song.

Although Concubine Wang is not as favored as Concubine Song, she has an extraordinary background - she is the niece of the old princess and a cousin of Prince Qingjiang. So although she is not favored, she actually has some influence in front of Prince Qingjiang because of her maternal family. This is the conclusion Linlang came to after observing for a few days.

In this case, Linlang planned to give Concubine Wang some gifts as a trial, because she realized that other concubines without official status, who wanted to gain official status, were trying their best to please Prince Qingjiang, and some were also trying their best to please Concubine Song, hoping that Concubine Song would say something good to Prince Qingjiang.

There are a lot of gifts to give to Concubine Song, and even if Linlang gives all her money, it may not be useful.

So Linlang looked around and thought it would be more cost-effective to find Concubine Wang. Concubine Wang's words were also useful. At the same time, no one gave her gifts. If she gave them, the other party might not accept so much and would be willing to speak for her.

In other words, it might be more cost-effective to find a concubine. (End of this chapter)
