Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 11

Queen Mother Sun slowly calmed down and knew that there was nothing they could do about Zhu Qiyu and his wife doing this. They wanted to stop it but they didn't dare or couldn't.

"The Supreme Empress Dowager, he is the emperor now." After the Supreme Empress Qian finished these two sentences, she bowed her head and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Sun clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth and said: "The royal business is not allowed to be handed over. You should continue to supervise it. I want to see how she saves the expenses of the palace!"

"Yes!" Queen Qian lowered her head and responded.

In the afternoon, the banquet broke up, and the people in the capital soon learned about the emperor and his wife. They apologized for their brothers and the family members of those nobles who died. In addition, news came out that in a few days, His Majesty will summon all the civil servants who died. The family members attended the banquet and probably apologized in person.

Lin Cunde, who was in Santiao Hutong, had no intention of caring about these. In the past few days, he had also made these tools. Lin Cunde had also ground a lot of medicinal materials and mixed some spices. Now, he has prepared a batch of them. For soap and soap, Lin Cunde asked Wang Xin and the others to put the prepared soap and soap in the greenhouse, and use the temperature of the greenhouse to speed up the drying of the soap and soap.

In the next few days, Lin Cunde came over every day and handed Wang Xin the mixed spices and lime water, and asked Wang Xin to be responsible for making soap. Lin Cunde just directed from the side.

Lin Cunde had also heard some rumors about the outside world, but he still knew very little about the affairs within the palace.

This afternoon, Lin Cunde had just returned to Lin's house. Not long after he sat down to read, Wang Ying came again.

Before Lin Cunde reached the door of the study, Wang Ying entered the living room. Lin Cunde quickly went over and handed over his hands: "I have met Shibo!"

"Well, let's go to your study and talk!" Wang Ying said with a gloomy face.

Lin Cunde also noticed that Wang Ying seemed to have a strange look on his face, so he invited Wang Ying into his study.

"How is the pancake doing?" Wang Ying sat down and asked Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde immediately handed over his hands and said: "Not bad, the output has been increasing in the past few days. From the beginning of the first [-] yuan per day, to now it can make more than [-] yuan per day. It has also reached the limit of Wang Xin and the others. If they add more manpower, , it is estimated that more can be done.”

When Wang Ying heard this, she looked at Lin Cunde in surprise: "Have you just made it?"

"Yes, it's done. How about my nephew take you to see it now?" Lin Cunde nodded and asked.

Wang Ying waved her hand and became silent.

Lin Cunde also went to make tea for Wang Ying, thinking that Wang Ying was probably in trouble, and it might have something to do with the queen.

Lin Cunde came over with two cups of tea. One cup was placed on the coffee table next to Wang Ying's seat. He took his own tea cup and sat next to Wang Ying.

"My dear nephew, this morning, I went to the palace and met the queen. The queen looked good. During this period, your majesty would go there almost every day and would also stay overnight. However, the queen's days are not busy now. It's better!" Wang Ying said, picking up the teacup and holding it in her hand.

Lin Cunde nodded and asked: "Don't the people in the capital praise your majesty and the empress for their wisdom? This matter will probably make the nobles think highly of your majesty and the empress!"

"That's not it. Of course, this matter was done well. Those nobles were very satisfied! I heard that some princes, marquises and earls knelt in front of His Majesty and the Queen. This move made Your Majesty very satisfied! Your Majesty even praised it. I have killed the Empress many times, but now it is the Empress who is in trouble!" Wang Ying quickly said to Lin Cunde, of course there is no problem with Lin Cunde's idea.

"Oh, please tell me, Uncle Shi, let's see if my nephew can help with the analysis!" Upon hearing this, Lin Cunde knew what Wang Ying meant by coming here, so he took the initiative to speak.

Wang Ying nodded and said: "My dear nephew, this time you really need to analyze it for your uncle to see if there is any way. The Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Dowager Qian are going too far!"

Lin Cunde just looked at Wang Ying and did not comment on the two of them.

"The two of them control most of the royal business, and even some important purchases require their nod, because the purchasers are all their people. Therefore, it is difficult for the queen to do something now. First, There is no money, and secondly, there is no one. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager Sun warned the Empress not to lay off people. But if they don't lay off people, what will happen to the royal family's expenses? They want to force my daughter to death. This won't work. !

Nephew, you have to think of a way. They must not let them be so arrogant about this matter. They are ready to see Lin'er's jokes now. No matter how hard I try, I can't let my daughter be so angry. This morning , I sent 5000 taels of silver to the palace and asked him to continue to entertain the ministers. However, it may be difficult to distribute rice and noodles to the sacrificed soldiers by then! "Wang Ying sat there, angry, sighing, and out of breath.

"Uncle Shi, don't worry about the money. There will definitely be no problem with Yizi. My nephew has seen it and tried it in advance. There is absolutely no problem!" Lin Cunde smiled confidently and looked at Wang Ying.Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde, who nodded confidently.

"Good nephew, if you can really make money, then the queen's life in the palace will be easier!" Wang Ying said happily seeing Lin Cunde being so confident. He still chose to believe in Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde sat there, thought about it, and said: "The key now is to lay off people and replace them with the Queen's own people, so that the Queen has money to spend and her own people to use."

"Yes, that's it!" Wang Ying nodded excitedly.

"Simple, isn't the money controlled by the Queen Mother and the Supreme Queen? Then send someone to spread the word, saying that there is no money in the inner treasury, and all the money is in the hands of the two of them. The Queen has nothing to do with this move. In addition, draw When a line comes out, for example, if the father-in-law is over 35 years old, and if the palace maid is over 25 years old, priority will be given to layoffs!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Ying with a smile,

After Wang Ying heard this, he sat there and meditated.

After a while, Wang Ying raised her head and looked at Lin Cunde and said, "Is this possible? This will break the relationship with the two of them!"

"Ha!" After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, if you don't break up, if the Emperor comes back in the future, won't it be possible for His Majesty and the Queen to return to the Palace of Prince Yin and become King Yin and Princess Yin again?

Besides, if the Empress does not lay off those father-in-laws and maids, the palace will always be under their control. What secrets will your Majesty and the Empress have in the future?What else is safe?Letting out the wind now is to divert the resentment of the father-in-law and the palace maids. The queen is not to blame for this! "

Wang Ying pondered for a moment, nodded involuntarily, and said: "That's right, if this thing can't be done, the two of them may even be in danger of their lives! However, if the Queen Mother and the Supreme Queen come up with money, how should they deal with it? ?”

"No, let the queen say that this money is given to the two of them as a filial piety!" Lin Cunde said with a smile.

"No, this won't work, right? Nephew, do you know how much money you can bring in from those businesses every month? I heard from the Queen that it will not be less than 3 taels a month. Without this money, the palace The cost may not be enough!

Nephew, I know you want to talk about the pancake, but what if the pancake can't be made?What do you want the queen to do?You can't take such a risk! "Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde in great surprise and said with excitement in her words.

"Shibo, please be patient. Can you just listen to what my nephew has to say?" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying helplessly and said with a smile.

"My dear nephew, you know, my uncle is just anxious!" Wang Ying immediately signaled to Lin Cunde and asked Lin Cunde to continue.

"Shibo, if the Queen Empress succeeds in reducing the number of father-in-laws and maids in the palace, and cuts off their wings, do you think those business leaders will not want to seek refuge with the Queen Empress?

My nephew just said that those who are over 35 years old will be selectively laid off. My nephew estimates that there are not many people who manage business and procurement who are under 35. If there are, then they should be reduced to 30. , these people have been replaced, and the new ones have come up, will they be so stupid that they don’t show favor to the Queen?

Furthermore, if their wings are cut off, Shibo, tell me, would it be difficult to force them to come up with money?Power needs someone to support it. If no one supports it, power is a virtual thing. If the people in the palace are all the Queen's wife, what role can they play if they live deep in the palace?At that time, even if they wanted to help the Supreme Emperor, they would be unable to do so because no one would carry out their orders. "Lin Cunde sat there and analyzed Wang Ying in a low voice.

The more Wang Ying listened, the more her eyes shone. After Lin Cunde finished speaking, Wang Ying smiled and patted Lin Cunde on the shoulder, almost knocking Lin Cunde to the ground. However, Wang Ying's eyesight and quick hands helped Lin Cunde and looked at him with an apologetic look. Lin Cunde said: "My dear nephew, don't be surprised, uncle is so excited, haha, you still have an idea, just do as you say, haha!"

Lin Cunde also said with a look of tears on his face: "Shibo is so strong!"

"Well, it's as you said!" Wang Ying stood up excitedly and said with certainty.

"In addition, if the Empress Dowager Sun and the Queen Empress come to object at this time, then the Queen Empress only needs to say, how can we support those father-in-law and maids without money? Furthermore, I heard that Your Majesty only has four women, but is it true?" Lin Cunde said and looked at it. Wang Ying asked.

"Yes, there are four now!" Wang Ying nodded affirmatively.

"At that time, the Empress said that Your Majesty only has four women now and does not need so many servants to serve. She will reduce the number by [-]%, and other palaces will be reduced by [-]%, including the palaces of the Empress Dowager Sun and the Supreme Empress, and the extra Twenty percent is the filial piety shown by Your Majesty and the Queen to them.

However, those over 35 years old will be prioritized for layoffs. If there are not enough people in the palace for the two of them, young father-in-laws and maids can be sent there. Of course, people who are trustworthy by the Queen must be arranged here. I believe that when the news gets out, In the end, many father-in-laws and maids will show up in front of the Queen and take refuge! Lin Cunde continued to remind Wang Ying.

Wang Ying nodded happily, walked a few steps in Lin Cunde's study, and then asked, "Is there any countermeasure?"
