Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 724: Many Cheats 45
Second Mistress didn't get the upper hand from the An Wang Shizi Consort this time, so naturally she hated the An Wang Shizi Consort again, and also hated Linlang. She felt that this Linlang was also a worthless person, and was the same as the An Wang Shizi Consort. Otherwise, when she objected just now, why didn't she take the initiative to stand up and say that she didn't want this job to calm the dispute? When she had an argument with the An Wang Shizi Consort before, someone did this, not only calmed the incident, but also made the An Wang Shizi Consort mad, which made her feel very comfortable.

She originally thought that this newcomer would be as stupid as the last newcomer, and would honestly say that he didn't want this job and asked everyone to stop arguing. However, when she was arguing with Prince An's wife, the other party didn't say a word, so she didn't get what she wanted. How could she not hate Linlang? Who made Linlang not let her get what she wanted? Naturally, she was unhappy.

But Linlang is not afraid of whether she is happy or not. Even if her family can be promoted to a county king in the future, she is not afraid. After all, even if her family can be promoted to a county king in the future, they are equal, and there is no question of who is afraid of whom.

What's more, their family will not be promoted to a prince in the future.

Yes, the Second House did want to be promoted, but it was not so easy to be promoted. You know, the current emperor has more than one uncle, Prince An. These uncles naturally have illegitimate sons who cannot get the titles of Prince of a County or Prince of a State. In this case, don’t they want their sons to be promoted to Prince of a State or Prince of a State? So they also made efforts with the emperor and the clan officials to let their illegitimate sons be adopted by the childless Prince of a State and inherit his title.

So the news that the Second Wife heard was actually exaggerated information that was boasted by Prince An and her husband, making her believe that her family could be promoted to the rank of Prince of a County.

She probably didn't understand that some men like to brag and take their boasting seriously.

In fact, the deceased prince did adopt a close relative of the royal family, but he was not chosen from the Prince An's Mansion, but from the family of another uncle of the emperor. The reason for choosing that family, according to the information obtained by the original body, was that the family gave the emperor 300,000 taels of silver.

This is also normal. This is the title of a prince, and it is said that the title of a prince can be passed down for two generations. This is a blessing that lasts for many generations. Isn't it normal to give 300,000 to buy the title of a prince?
By then, you will have status, and the titles of your descendants will be of a higher level overall. This is such a great blessing. It is still worthwhile to buy it for 300,000.

But Prince An's Mansion obviously could not come up with 300,000 taels of silver.

The reason why Prince An was able to become a prince smoothly and not be dealt with was naturally because he was a nobody and his mother was not very capable, so he was not a strong contender for the throne. Therefore, he survived the turmoil of the struggle for the throne safely.

Since he is a nobody, when he leaves the palace to become a prince, he will have nothing extra except what the royal family stipulates. His father did not give him any extra property, and his mother does not have much money and cannot give him anything.

Therefore, since its establishment, the Prince An's Mansion has been relying on supplies from the royal family. In this way, as a prince, he has the dignity he should have, after all, his annual salary is not small. But that's it. Without any additional source of income, although the Prince An's Mansion has saved some money, it is obviously not comparable to those rich people.

The other family had money to give because the other party's mother was said to be from an imperial merchant family and had plenty of money. So although she was not able to compete for the throne at that time, at least she had money to use when dividing the palace. Unexpectedly, she encountered such an opportunity at this time, and the money came in handy, so that her descendants had another prince.

Another family got the title of Prince of the County, but Prince An's Mansion didn't. Prince An felt very ashamed and died of depression soon after. After Prince An's death, the second family was naturally separated, and the second wife left in disgrace. Because she had offended a lot of people before, she didn't continue to associate with Prince An's Mansion. Of course, it was mainly because the newly appointed Princess An was not interested in associating with them.

In fact, after the title of Prince went to another family, the Second Wife's arrogance in the mansion subsided a lot, but it wasn't completely gone yet, because Prince An was not dead yet, Concubine Cao was still in favor, and she had someone backing her up, so she was still a little arrogant. But she had already started to think about what would happen after Prince An's death, so her arrogance was restrained.

Of course, at that time, I had already offended people, so there was no point in restraining myself.

However, at the moment, because the Second Mistress's objection was ineffective, Linlang was naturally confirmed as the deputy (in name only) of Prince An's Princess, allowing Linlang to receive more money every month.

She now receives a lot of money every month. The first is the salary given to the Princess by the court. The second is the monthly salary given to the Princess by the palace according to her rank. The third is the monthly salary given to her by the Princess of Prince An as her deputy. The fourth is the money given to her by Prince Anjiang every month for pocket money. Although the salary given to Prince Anjiang by the court is paid to the public treasury, the male members of the palace can go to the public treasury to collect money every month to maintain their dignity. In addition, his mother, Princess An, also subsidizes her two sons. Therefore, Prince Anjiang also has a lot of money. Although he did not give all his money to Linlang, he would give her a sum of pocket money every month.

There is another thing - at the end of the year, the government will distribute dividends, called the annual dividend, which is spread over each month and there is also a certain amount.

So, although the amount of money is not large, but because of the variety, the monthly income is not small. Of course, it is not as much as what the housekeepers of Prince An, the Crown Princess and others make, but Linlang is also satisfied.

In fact, how much money could the Prince An's Mansion make? The prince's salary was there, about more than 20,000 taels a year. Even if the Prince An's Mansion spent it all, it could only make more than 20,000 taels.

Even if the salaries of the next generation such as the Prince of Anjiang were added, it would only be about 50,000 taels. Because of the salaries of the next generation, except for the Prince of Anjiang and the Prince of An, the annual salaries of other generals guarding the country were very little.

This amount of money is the entire income of Prince An's Mansion. Naturally, the accounts office will not give all of it to the backyard. The amount given to the backyard is still more than 20,000 yuan. The rest is taken away by the male masters of the mansion every month.

In the past, the palace was able to save money. When it was in the hands of Princess An and Princess An's Prince's Consort, the palace saved a lot of money. Because at that time, they were the only ones in charge of the household, so although they made some money, they also saved some money every year. So during the twenty or thirty years when Princess An and Princess An's Prince's Consort were in charge, they saved a sum of money, and bought some land and houses, which increased the income of the palace.

The annual income of the palace is now more than 50,000 taels, and the excess is all from the output of the fields and farms.
