Chapter 262

"See father, mother and concubine."

The man who came out from behind the trees was the king of Ning and the Pei family.

Surprisingly, they were also in the garden and heard Gu Jiu's conversation.

It turned out that Pei took out the regulations, and finally convinced Ning Wang to agree to cut the cost.

But Pei was worried that things would not go well, so he persuaded Ning Wang to go to CHUNHETANG.

Then he summoned all the people to announce the cutting cost.

It is believed that no one dares to oppose the king of Ning.

Ning Wang stares at Gu Jiu, "it's hard for you to think about the overall situation. People are worried when they hear about the cost of cutting. "

The daughter-in-law said, "the daughter-in-law wants to take advantage of her mother's worries."

Ning Wang nodded approvingly, "you have a heart."

After a pause, he said, "at this difficult time, extravagance and waste are strictly forbidden in the palace. Both of you should learn from Dalang's daughter-in-law. Don't just think about your acre of land all day long, and just think about how much you lose by cutting costs. I have to think more about the palace. The Ministry of housing is cleaning up the accumulated debts over the years, and the palace is still extravagant and wasteful. Is this reasonable? "

Ouyang Fu and Xiao qin'er are both cowardly and dare not speak.

King Ning is so dignified and natural that he has made a speech. Who dares to refute it?

Pei's heart is happy, this time the king finally stands on her side. In this way, the cutting cost is imperative, no one can stop it.

King Ning again snorted, "follow this king to Chunhe hall to discuss affairs."

"Yes."

King Ning is ahead.

Pei kept up with her, and did not forget to remind Xiao qin'er, "take care of your mouth and don't talk nonsense."

Xiao qin'er nods wrongly, "daughter-in-law listens to the mother's concubine."

Pei looked at Gu Jiu again. His eyes were complicated.

I didn't expect that the eldest daughter-in-law from the lowest background was the most knowledgeable of the three daughters-in-law.

She thought for a while, or to Gu Jiu said: "you also follow."

Gu Jiu nodded his head and took the order.

Ouyang Fu sighed quietly and whispered, "it seems that the cutting cost is imperative and irreparable."

Princess Huyang is also a failure. It is obviously impossible for her to make a mess of the excrement stick and let her influence the idea of the prince and the princess.

Gu Jiu said: "since it is irreparable, it's better to think about what to do next."

Ouyang Fu chuckled softly, "or sister-in-law has foresight. We can only complain, not as much as sister-in-law. "

Xiao qin'er didn't like to hear that.

"The second sister-in-law is too self belittling. According to what you mean, we are all stupid people, only sister-in-law is awake? "

Ouyang Fu said to herself, "look at me. I said something wrong again. Four younger brothers and sisters, don't have a common understanding with me. "

Xiao Qin Er snorted and said to Gu Jiu, "sister-in-law is just lucky."

Gu nine shallow smile, "four younger sister-in-law said right, I am indeed a bit better luck than ordinary people. But luck is also part of strength. "

Xiao qin'er's face changed again and again.

Gu Jiu no longer pays attention to her, with people straight to CHUNHETANG.

The whole family was informed and came to CHUNHETANG. The hall is full.

Even the three young men and three ladies, who seldom appeared at ordinary times, came out.

The third lady, Cai, is not in good health and has been resting.

She was pale and weak.

It was about to March, and the weather was warm. She was still wearing a thick winter coat. Her lips were blue and purple, and she had no blood color.

Look at the third childe, Liu Yan, is also a pale ghost like face, there is a long time not see the sun sick.

The husband and wife, sitting in a wide chair, have a kind of child sitting on a big stool, filled with the feeling of dissatisfaction.

In the past, Gu Jiu had little contact with the third son and the third wife.

Even when she came in to serve tea the next day, neither of them showed up.

Now looking at the close range, these two people's bodies are not good.

"Now that all the people have arrived, I will talk about the next arrangement."

All the people in the room held their breath and looked at King Ning.

Ning Wang's eyes from each face one by one, a pair of deep eyes, seems to have the ability to see through the heart.

Many people lowered their heads subconsciously after Ning Wang's glance.

Ning Wang's face was expressionless, not angry from Wei, "the Ministry of household cleaning up accumulated debts, this matter you all know. Outside, the palace owes a large sum of money to the household department. Inside, the palace can't make ends meet.

If we don't find a way to contain it, the palace will follow the example of Princess Huyang's house and eat more than it can afford.

What's the situation of Princess Huyang's residence? I don't need to talk about it. You all know it.

The king also believed that no one hoped that the palace would be reduced to the princess's house.

Princess Huyang is in trouble, but she still has this king to rely on. If the king is in trouble, who can rely on him?At that time, if the skin does not exist, how will the hair attach? Therefore, after discussion, the king and the princess decided to cut the cost of the palace from now on. "

Here it is!

At last!

But I didn't expect that Pei could really persuade the Lord to endorse this matter.

No one spoke, but everyone was upset.

Many people secretly exchanged eyes and shook their heads slightly.

Who dares not obey the Lord's words?

Pei's light cough, will attract people's eyes to their own body, "about the cutting cost, from two aspects. One is to lay off people. In every courtyard, at least 10% of them should be laid off. "

Cut 10% of them?

There was a lot of discussion.

"Is it too much?"

"Do you really want to lay off people?"

"Please take back the princess."

"It's not enough for me to use my hands. It's a mess to cut 10% of the staff."

"Shut up Pei Shi scowled angrily, "this matter is decided by the Lord, who dares to disobey it?"

The crowd looked at each other.

Chen Liangyuan looked at King Ning and said, "Lord, do you really want to abolish people? There were only a dozen or so people in the courtyard, each of them performing his own duties, and there was no one who was cheating or playing tricks. It's really impossible to cut down the manpower! "

King Ning hummed twice, without any negotiation, and said, "follow the instructions of the princess."

Chen Liangyuan was shocked.

The prince dotes on her most, and always responds to every request. Why did the Lord ignore her request this time.

Pei's heart is very happy. Do these bitches really think they can do whatever they want with the help of the king?

Hum!

Before the Imperial Palace became a big profit, they all had to hold their tails to be human beings.

Seeing Chen Liangyuan lose face, several people who were ready to speak also beat the retreat drum.

"I don't know what measures the princess and empress have prepared in addition to cutting off the staff. I'm all ears."

Shen asked in a soft voice.

Pei, with a straight face, said: "the second aspect is to cut the monthly schedule of all the people in the mansion, and the cost of cutting each courtyard is 30%

Cut 30% of the cost, is this to force everyone to drink?

For example, the eastern courtyard where Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao lived had a fixed cost of 2000 Liang per month, and 30% of the total cost was 600 Liang.

Six hundred taels are lost in a month, and many things seem to be in short supply.

It's the same thing that you can't walk without money.

No money, no servant will kill you.

"Cutting 30% is too much? Everyone was not rich and had little spare money. It's really hard for us to cut so much at once

Shen's wife looked at the king of Ning.

King Ning didn't say anything, apparently acquiescing Pei's decision.

Shen side imperial concubine slightly frowns, what kind of infatuation soup did Pei Shi pour to the prince? Unexpectedly, he let the prince stand on Pei's side completely.

But she did not know that Ning Wang was helpless.

No money, no courage.

Before thinking of a new open source method, Ning Wang did not dare to show off, saying that everything was the same as before. We can only follow Pei's advice.

Anyway, Pei's starting point is good. One year later, at least, he can save fifty or sixty thousand Liang silver for the palace.

Therefore, King Ning had no reason not to support Pei's decision.

Luo side imperial concubine asks a way: "concubine has a doubt, do not know should say."

Ning Wang nodded, "go ahead. Today, everyone speaks freely, and I will not pursue it. "

Luo side imperial concubine slightly bows, "that concubine dares to ask, this cutting personnel, cutting cost, can include the prince, princess, and Huyang princess?"

Yeah!

Don't patronize the cost of cutting. As a prince or princess, should you set an example.

Luo side imperial concubine is embarrassed ground smile, "still please Lord, Princess forgive me. I was really curious, so I asked. If there is something wrong, Quan Dang Qie has never said anything. "

Pei said with a straight face, "my princess is going to tell you that not only Chunhe hall, but also the prince's Imperial Palace, will cut off the manpower and cut the cost according to the requirements. Who else has an opinion? "

Luo side imperial concubine asks cautiously: "Huyang princess also with everybody?"

"Cough..."

Ning Wang coughed twice.

He is repentant.

Unexpectedly accidentally into the Huyang set.

Two days ago, he promised Huyang that he would never cut the cost of their mother and son. Now how can I go back on my regret.

"Huyang is a guest, she is not in this list," he said in a loud voice

They exchanged eyes with each other, but they were not satisfied with it.

Pei Shi is also dissatisfied, Huyang that stir excrement stick, idiots drink for nothing, still make trouble for her all day. We have to find a way to drive Huyang back to the princess's house.It's not a place where you don't live. It's like living in the palace all day?

Ning Wang directly said: "this matter has been decided and can not be changed. All people should cooperate with the princess. If anyone dares to act against the emperor, I will punish him severely. "

Even if there are more opinions, they can only hold back.

"That..."

Suddenly there was a faint voice.

People follow the sound to see, unexpectedly is no sense of existence of the three ladies.

Three Madame Cai's coughs several times repeatedly, has been covering the heart mouth, the lip is more blue purple.

Gu Jiu looked at it. Did the third lady have heart disease?

After finishing coughing, Cai said in a soft voice, "my father, my mother, my wife, my daughter-in-law and my son-in-law take medicine all year round. Do you want to abolish this money?"

Pei frowned slightly.

Ning Wang was very straightforward, "in the old three yard, only the hands were cut off, and the month was reduced, and the cost of cutting was not needed. Medicine is business as usual. "

"Thank you for your pity."

Luo side imperial concubine asks suddenly: "Lord, the expense of three girls also wants to be abolished?"

Rather king did not have any hesitation, "according to the request abolishes."

"But..."

"No, but. Old five and six are no exception. "

The fifth and sixth childe have not married, nor have they received a job. Every month I live by the monthly rules.

Once cut to 30% cost, their life is really hard.

In the past, we could go out with a lot of money, but later we had to tighten our belts.

For a moment, everyone in the hall was gloomy.

People all like promotion and pay rise, but hate demotion and salary reduction.

However, there is no permanent wealth, always have to prepare for a rainy day.

When the matter was finished, Ning Wang was ready to leave.

He said to Pei: "the rest of the things, hard princess."

Pei bowed down and said, "don't worry, I will do it."

"I believe in the princess."

King Ning got up and left and took a bunch of people.

People's minds are uncertain. Is the palace really too poor to open a pot?

"Cough..."

Pei's loud cough is a reminder of her existence.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Pei said: "within three days, everyone will hand in the list of personnel to be abolished in their own courtyard. At that time, my princess will arrange people to make a unified arrangement. "

Shen side imperial concubine asks: "three days time, can too short?"

Pei's face was grim, "who can stay around and who needs to be removed? Shen side imperial concubine, don't you have a number in mind? If you can't make up your mind, I'll make the decision for you. Anyway, the list is in the accounting room. How about circle people according to the list? "

Shen side imperial concubine embarrassed a smile, "dare not bother Niang to worry, this matter concubine can handle on time."

Pei nodded, "it's very good today."

Wen side imperial concubine asks again: "excuse me the princess, empress, kitchen, needle and thread and so on place, how should abrogate manpower? Who should be in charge? "

Xiao qin'er and Ouyang Fu all raise their ears, which is exactly what they care about.

Pei's eyes swept over every face.

Just listen to her say: "this princess has already planned. The fourth daughter-in-law is in charge of the sewing room, the second daughter-in-law is in charge of the courtyard, Shen Bian Fei, you are in charge of the porter's sweeping, Luo's wife is in charge of the warehouse. The courtyard and atrium have their own homes, and adults are responsible for it. As for the kitchen... "

The kitchen is the most important and the most difficult place to deal with.

People are curious. Is it possible that the princess is going to take care of those people in the kitchen herself?

Pei's eyes swept from the crowd, and finally fell on Gu Jiu's face.

"Daughter in law, I'll give you the kitchen. Can you do it?"

Gu Jiu nodded to accept the order, "the daughter-in-law should try her best to live up to her mother's expectations."

Pei nodded. "It's very good. I'll give you the kitchen, and you'll be responsible for everything in the kitchen. In addition, my princess will send people to inspect all over the country. If anyone is found to be engaged in malpractice for personal gain, revenge for personal gain, or take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, she will be severely punished. "

"Yes

Everyone bowed down to take orders.

After three days, Pei's name list will be handed in

The crowd rose and left.

Everyone was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk. After CHUNHETANG, they left in a hurry.

Ouyang Fu is not in a hurry.

She stayed to wait for Gu Jiu.

"Is there any difficulty for sister-in-law?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "my childe is not here. It will be a lot of trouble just to cut off the staff. Not to mention the kitchen side, I'm not familiar at all. Do you have a place to teach me? "

Ouyang Fu looks embarrassed. "I want to help my sister-in-law, but I'm not familiar with the kitchen. In this case, the elder sister-in-law should consult with mother Qin, who is an old man in the mansion. There is no place in the mansion that she is not clear about. "Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, "thank you for your advice."

Ouyang Fu left in a hurry on the pretext that she was still busy.

Qingmei asked quietly, "madam, do you really want to consult mother Qin?"

"Naturally, you don't have to ask mother Qin."

East yard has ready-made people do not need, give up to ask mother Qin far away, Gu Jiu is not so confused.

"The second lady suggested that Mrs. Qin go to consult mother Qin. I don't know what Ann's heart is."

Mother Fang snorted coldly and was dissatisfied with Ouyang Fu.

Gu Jiu waved her hand, "Mammy, you don't have to be angry. It's still early today. Get ready. Let's go to the Zongzheng temple to see the young master. "

To abolish the people of the East Court, Gu Jiu had to discuss with Liu Zhao first.

Some people seem useless on the surface. Maybe it is Liu Zhao who keeps them specially to make them useful in the future.

Therefore, she can't dismiss the people in the East Court, but she must communicate with Liu Zhao first.

Back to the East Court.

They are busy preparing clothes, books and food to take to Zongzheng temple.

The servant reported that it was aunt sun who asked to see him.

Aunt sun is Liu Zhao's milk mother, Gu Jiu Shao must give each other a little dignity.

She told her servants, "please come in."

A moment later, aunt sun was invited to the side hall.

Gu Jiu said with a smile, "madam, please sit down. Why do you come to my wife today

Aunt sun was a little uneasy. "I heard that the government was going to abolish its staff. Has this been settled?"

Gu nine slightly nods, "already settled."

Aunt sun seemed to have a nail under her buttocks, shaking from side to side. She asked nervously, "who would you like to abolish, madam?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "I haven't thought about it. What's your opinion? "

Madame Sun leaned forward. "If madam can trust me, I have a list here. They are all the people who love to play tricks, cheat and cheat, and don't obey the rules. "

"Oh? I'm really loyal. I've prepared the list so early. "

Gu Jiu is always smiling, so people can't see through her ideas.
