Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

In this prosperous yet mysterious Prince Jin's Mansion, Xie Yuer accidentally saw Xu Miaoyun's figure, and a ripple suddenly arose in her heart.

Her already delicate face instantly broke into a friendly smile.

Just like the warm sunshine in spring, it warms the heart.

"Sister Miaoyun, I finally found you."

Xie Yuer walked lightly to Xu Miaoyun, her tone intimate yet a little anxious.

“Recently, the palace has been in a complete mess when it comes to purchasing supplies.

The accounts are a mess and I can't sort them out no matter how hard I try.

My sister has always been very smart. In your opinion, under the premise of following the patriarchal system of our palace, do you have any tricks to solve this urgent problem?"

Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned. She really didn't expect Xie Yuer to take the initiative to ask for her opinion.

She hesitated for a moment, and her eyes became calm and firm.

Xu Miaoyun said slowly: "According to the clan law, family affairs must always be clearly organized in order to be in order.

In my opinion, the most urgent task is to develop a detailed set of purchasing procedures and accounting record standards.

Moreover, the persons in charge of each link must be selected strictly in accordance with the regulations of family closeness and status.

For example, the purchase of expensive items should be undertaken by the royal family's trusted confidants who have a high status.

Every aspect of the purchase, from the type and quantity of items to the price and supplier, must be recorded in great detail.

As for the accounts, they must be regularly checked by a special accountant, and the selection of this accountant must naturally follow established rules.

In this way, perhaps we can resolve the current chaos like unraveling a thread."

After hearing this, Xie Yuer couldn't help but nod repeatedly, her eyes full of approval.

"My sister is absolutely right!

I actually have similar ideas in my mind, but I don’t know how to implement them specifically.

Only in this way can we comply with the rules and effectively solve the problem. It is like being lost in a maze and unable to find the exit.

Sister, do you have a more detailed method, such as how to ensure that those responsible can strictly follow the regulations?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled gently, and a gleam of smart intelligence flashed in her eyes.

“This requires the establishment of a monitoring mechanism.

You can ask the elders in the palace or people of high moral character to come out and supervise.

Once someone is found not following the rules, they must be severely punished to correct the work style.

At the same time, it is also advisable to establish some incentive measures to give generous rewards to those responsible who strictly implement the policies and perform well.

This clear distinction between rewards and punishments will hopefully motivate everyone to do their job well and not slack off."

After hearing this, Xie Yuer couldn't help but applaud, "Excellent! Excellent!

My sister's insights really opened my eyes, like the sun shining through the clouds.

With this detailed method, I feel more at ease.

I will have to rely on you in the future. Together we sisters will manage the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner."

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun said modestly: "Sister Yu'er, you are too polite. We are all in the same palace.

We are all thinking about the palace, so we should work together to overcome the difficulties."

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, they had reached some kind of tacit understanding that did not need words.

As they were talking, Fang Shuxiu happened to pass by gracefully, holding a round fan.

Hearing the conversation between the two, she hesitated slightly.

Finally, Fang Shuxiu stepped forward and said, "My two sisters, after listening to what you said just now, I have some humble opinions.

I think the accounts can also be checked regularly, with people from different families and who meet the patriarchal status cross-checking.

This ensures fairness and avoids omissions.

At the same time, they also followed the rules of the palace, just like adding a solid line of defense to the management of the palace. "Xu Miaoyun and Xie Yuer looked at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes, just like a bright meteor across the night sky.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Sister Shuxiu, this is a very good idea!

This would provide an extra layer of protection and would not violate the clan law at all.

It is like adding bricks and tiles to the stability of the palace, which is really the icing on the cake.”

The three were discussing heatedly when Zhang Ji, the concubine who had falsely accused Fang Shuxiu, came towards them with graceful steps.

There was a hint of ill intent in her eyes, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

I only heard Zhang Ji's concubine say in a weird tone: "Hey, you sisters are gathered together, what are you planning?

Could it be that you have come up with some new and strange idea to break the rules of the palace?"

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly and turned to look at concubine Zhang.

Her eyes were like sharp swords, and she said without flinching, “We are only giving advice on the affairs of the palace, and we are only trying to follow the patriarchal system and make the affairs of the palace more orderly.

If my sister has the leisure to speak coldly here, she might as well do something practical for the palace.

Don't forget your duties as a concubine of the palace, just like every rivet should stick to its position and perform its duties. "

Concubine Zhang's face suddenly changed, she snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Just you?
Don't make things worse and mess up the palace, breaking the ancestral rules!

When the time comes, you will be in trouble!"

Xie Yuer stepped forward, her look majestic, like a towering mountain that could not be violated.

"We, the masters of the palace, will take care of the affairs of the palace.

If you have nothing to do, sister, please go back to your room and rest.

Don't disrupt the order here and ruin the etiquette of the palace!

Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”

Although Zhang Jiqi felt unwilling when she saw this, she did not dare to say anything more.

She glared at the three of them hatefully, then turned around and left angrily like a defeated fighting cock.

After this incident, the relationship between the three sisters changed quietly.

They became increasingly aware that in this intricate, maze-like palace, the only way they could do this was to work together.

Only in this way can we better deal with all kinds of open and covert attacks and protect our own peace.

On the premise of complying with the Ming Dynasty's sacrificial rituals, patriarchal system and other rules, they worked together to maintain the stability and prosperity of the palace.

It is like guarding together a precious ship that carries the destiny of everyone in the midst of storms.

After that, the three sisters often got together, either in the garden pavilion of the palace or in the quiet boudoir.

They discussed palace affairs together, gave each other advice, and supported and encouraged each other.

In this process, the three sisters continued to grow.

Just like a flower that blooms amidst hardships, it becomes more beautiful and charming.

Fang Shuxiu paid even more attention and began to observe the words and deeds of other people in the palace who handled things properly, and carefully learned their skills in dealing with difficulties.

She found that clever words and a calm attitude can often defuse crises and turn danger into safety at critical moments.

Not long after, another incident happened in the backyard of Prince Jin's mansion.

One day, the royal palace organized the women to do needlework together.

This was a very common social activity among aristocratic women in the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone gathered together and demonstrated their exquisite needlework skills.

Fang Shuxiu was concentrating on the embroidery in her hands. Her expression of concentration was as if the whole world was left only with the needle and thread in her hands.
