Husband is not good: this concubine and three husbands

Chapter 47 The Palace's Assets

Because his yard is next door to Ning Xixiao, and he is a master of martial arts, what if he climbs over the wall to peep or something?With the tall bamboos densely packed higher than the wall, he couldn't even go up to the wall to peep.And it can also play a sound insulation effect. She doesn't guarantee whether she will do something loud in her yard.

If the wall on the right is full of bamboos, the wall on the left will look much bare, so Jinyan said: "Plant the bamboos on the left side, the wall will be so beautiful when the time comes."

Uncle Xu breathed a sigh of relief silently. Fortunately, this princess still has a bit of a woman's characteristics, so she doesn't want ornamental flowers at all.

"On both sides of the courtyard gate, a plum tree is planted, an osmanthus tree is planted in the four corners of the courtyard, and a row of gardenias is planted in front of the main house. In this way, in my yard, there are flowers all year round. It's all here." Fortunately, the yard Ning Xixiao gave her is quite spacious, and it's more than enough to plant so many plants.

"Princess, do you want to plant some tall trees in the middle of the yard?" Xu Bo felt that Jinyan didn't say much, and even felt that there was a little less, and he could still add more.

Jin Yan frowned and said, "It's better not to leave more space for our usual activities."

"Then... what do you need to grow in the backyard? Is it the same as the front yard?"

"What? There's a backyard?" Jinyan was surprised, she didn't expect that the size of this other courtyard was quite large.

Uncle Xu took Jin Yan to look at the backyard again, which was much smaller than the front yard.

Jinyan didn't bother to bother, and said: "It's better to plant a circle of bamboo, and plant some osmanthus and plum trees. Uncle Xu, you can figure it out."

"Okay, if the concubine still needs to buy something at that time, she can tell the old servant at any time."

"Thank you Uncle Xu. Yang'er, I don't quite understand the furnishings in the room. Please help me look at it."

So Jinyan and Yang'er went to each room to look around, Xu Bo was very careful and thoughtful, and everything was prepared, Yang'er felt that there was nothing missing, but Jinyan was still a little complicated, and it was slightly removed A few pieces of furniture, she doesn't like to pile up too many big objects in the room to take up space.

In this way, her own plan for the new courtyard was completely completed, and half a day passed.

"I went around just now, and I feel that the inside has been closed for too long, and the air is not fresh. You should open the windows every day to let in some fresh air, and put some green radish and tiger piranha to purify the air." Have to wait a few more days.

Uncle Xu was quite surprised, this princess is not too careless, at least all these practical considerations have been thought of.

After Jinyan had lunch, she first wanted to read the account book of the palace.Since Ning Xixiao has said that the internal affairs of the palace are fully entrusted to her, let's see what the prime minister should do.

Jin Yan really thought too much, when she made this request, Uncle Xu didn't hesitate at all, as if she would give whatever she wanted to see.This Ning Xixiao was too generous to an outsider, she dared to show her such a private matter, didn't she think she couldn't understand the accounts?
Jinyan chose to look at the account book because she had a question in her heart.Ning Xixiao is an idle prince who doesn't like government affairs, so he doesn't serve in the court. As a result, he naturally has no salary to take.So what does he rely on for his money income?
The bookkeeping method in ancient times was very different from the modern one. Under Xu Bo's guidance, Jinyan finally figured out how to read the bookkeeping, and also understood that Ning Xixiao had a property outside the residence.

Each prince is assigned some land, because Ning Xixiao does not participate in the government, and has less source of income than other brothers, and the emperor especially likes the youngest son, so the land bestowed to Ning Xixiao is the most.

He leased out part of the land to farmers. As long as the farmers pay a certain amount of rent every year, they can grow crops as they like. All the proceeds from selling the crops belong to themselves, and Ning Xixiao will not charge any additional fees.If farmers cannot afford to pay the rent, they can also use the grain they grow to pay off.

The other part is kept by himself. He hired some common people to help him plant the land, and paid them monthly labor fees. The grain or fruits and vegetables grown were all used for the daily expenses of the palace.
