021 Gain both people and money
But when it comes to the Horse Mansion, the income of these forty guan is a little small. Because the servants, cooks, grooms, gardeners, and kabuki in the house are all paid, most of them are hired, and the wages are low, and they will stop working as soon as the contract period is low.
The bigger expenditure is the communication expenses outside Wang Xu's house, and the eight concubines have to be raised.
So what money did he take to support so many people? The answer is still the princess, specifically the princess's dowry. The emperor not only gave his sister a wedding of silk and satin, furniture, and a house, but also gave it to a mansion.
As for what kind of thing the Di shop is, Hong Tao hasn't figured it out too much, but this business belongs to a million profits, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, and he has a net income of more than 40 yuan every month if he hires a shopkeeper to stare at it.
When Hong Tao knew the approximate expenses and income in the Concubine's Mansion, he felt that he couldn't raise his head in front of the princess.
His predecessor Zhen Nima is not a thing, and he is not satisfied with taking his daughter-in-law's money to eat, drink and have fun outside, so he actually married eight concubines and came back to deliberately toss his daughter-in-law to play. Eating soft rice to eat this portion, you can really be proud of the crowd.
Hong Tao is not opposed to eating soft rice, you and I are not cold, but eating people with short mouths and short hands must be a little grateful. I didn't say that you should make offerings to your daughter-in-law as a bodhisattva every day, so you can't torture people all day long.
With the foreshadowing of this predecessor, the burden on Hong Tao's shoulders is even heavier. Now not only can he not continue to eat soft rice, but he also has to quickly support his family, earn some money and pay off those deficits first, otherwise he will really not be human.
Men can be lazy, distracted, and bad, but they can't be too immoral in doing things, and they can't eat soft rice and lose their dignity and personality.
But what can you do to make your life at home more comfortable? Hong Tao thought about it again and again, it was really not easy.
It's not that it's difficult to find a project, but the identity of a colt is too much of a hindrance, and a lot of business can't be done, which is either easy to arouse royal suspicion or unseemly. This identity is a living tight spell, unable to let go of the toss of hands and feet, too high-end dare not play, too low-end can not play.
Fortunately, Hong Tao is a miscellaneous family, and he has dabbled in everything, and finally found a business that meets his identity, that is, selling flying eagle equipment, that is, badminton equipment.
First of all, there is no shame in this deal, and it sounds quite high-end. Secondly, this thing is not rich and expensive, and there is no competition, it will not touch the cheese of other interest groups, and no one will deliberately toss itself.
But if the horse wants to do something, the first pass is the emperor. Only by reassuring him can he say whether or not to do it and how to do it, otherwise everything will be in vain.
“…… Maybe Shang Pharmacy has a shop in the Suzaku Gate, so I'll be with you. It's just that you don't know about business, I'm afraid you're going to lose your capital and make Sanniang sad, how about sending someone from the palace to help one or two? ”
The pony's words were so thoughtful that the princess listened to it with happiness on her face. Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, what a change it must be for her husband to pull down his face and consider the family.
The emperor also saw his sister's eyes, and whether he believed it or not, he had to express his position. A female official was summoned at the moment, and after a few whispers, a shop was established. Not only to give away a house, but also to give it away, this uncle is really not easy.
"Your ancestors are on board, just Nima and me, with my small physique and waste head, Wang Anshi and my partner can't make your old Zhao family's rebellion, as for staring at it so stubbornly!"
This is what Hong Tao thinks in his heart, he can laugh at the house, but it is not so wonderful to send someone to help him open a store. You don't have to think about it, the person sent must still have the role of keeping an eye on your every move, and it's the spies of the Imperial City Division!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, and ...... you are grateful" This is what he said, not only that, but he also had to blink his eyes vigorously, trying to squeeze out some crocodile tears and strengthen the effect.
Now, even if the emperor clearly said that he would send someone from the Imperial City Division to keep an eye on him, he couldn't refuse. Keep an eye on it, we haven't done anything bad and aren't afraid of ghosts calling the door.
"Your Majesty, the ministers still have one thing to ask for, I don't know if I should talk about it...... " The tears were not squeezed out at all, and the emperor was naturally not moved, Hong Tao felt that he couldn't accept a spy by his side for nothing, and he had to ask for benefits.
"Speak!" The emperor's good mood this afternoon was almost worn out by this brother-in-law, and his face was a little gloomy.
"The minister wants to ask His Majesty to inscribe the store, you are the champion of the Flying Eagle Competition, and the Flying Eagle Gu will naturally be named by His Majesty......" Love was impatient, Hong Tao pretended not to see it, and continued to pat himself.
"That's it...... Sanniang, prepare pen and paper! "This sycophant is all about the truth, so that the emperor can't refuse.
A good dinner party was ruined by the horses, and after the emperor wrote the words "Flying Eagle Society" on a white silk, he drooped his face behind his back and took a group of concubines back to the palace, and he didn't even take away the flower crown that the princess specially prepared for him, this is the championship trophy.
"Lady, what kind of flower is this, why isn't it fragrant?" Love or not, Wang Shu simply put the flower crown on his head. If it weren't for the emperor to win the championship, this championship would have been his own.
"This is the royal rice flower, and the official family doesn't like the fragrance, so they use this flower." It was not the princess who answered this question, but a female officer next to her.
"Da Lang, this is the rich ...... of the province in the palace" Hearing the voice behind her, the princess remembered to introduce.
"Fu Ji, see General Zuo!" With a wisp of incense, with the voice, the female officer stepped forward and saluted, with a decent and expressionless face.
“…… Where do you serve in the palace? At this time, Hong Tao had the opportunity to take a closer look at the female official's appearance, although the emperor came with many concubines and female officials, but he never dared to look directly.
This rich girl is about thirty years old, with a normal appearance, a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth, a high bun and flowers, medium height, but she stands very straight in palace clothes, and always gives people a feeling of being on top.
"Slave Family Serves as a Cloth ......"
"Rich man, you have worked hard...... It's late today, tomorrow the official will go to ask Lord Shangyi again, can I? Fu Ji replied very clearly, and her posture was very low, but this official position couldn't be happy in Hong Tao's ears.
Liushang! This is already a female official who can talk directly to the emperor, and the concubines who are not too favored have to be polite when they see the six monks, how can they become their deputies? The emperor is too concerned about his brother-in-law!
What is a female officer? It is the officials inside the palace.
In the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty, there were not only queen mothers, queens, princes, princesses, concubines, palace maids and eunuchs, but also many institutions serving the royal family, such as the palace of the province, the Xuanhui Academy, the Imperial City Division, the Inner Incense Medicine Depot, the Hanlin Imperial Academy, the Imperial City Division and so on. The ladies who served in these institutions were called female officials.
The province in the palace is in charge of enshrined the Son of Heaven's clothing, food, housing, transportation, medicine and other decrees, and has six bureaus under its jurisdiction: Shang Shi Bureau, Shang Yao Bureau, Shang Yu Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang She Bureau, and Shang Yuan Bureau.
What are the six monks? It is the competent officials of these six bureaus. Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shangshi, Shangyu, Shanggong, collectively known as the six Shang, are the five products, which are much better than their own Zuo generals.
In other words, this is a female director, and she is just a small section chief. Moreover, people are real power positions, and they are just empty salaries. Sending a bureau chief to be the section chief's deputy, what is this business about, who should listen to whom?
"According to the system, female officials are not allowed to leave the palace, and now the slave family is just a rich girl, and according to the will of the official family, General Zuo's Flying Eagle Society. If the general needs it, he can arrange it, and the slave family will deal with it. ”
is still a lukewarm answer, and the attitude is still so deferential. It's just that there is no expression on his face, and after he finishes speaking, he follows the little maid to the front yard, and his every move is so regular, and the distance of each step is like a measured measure.
"The rich man has been in the palace since he was a child, and he knows a lot about the purchase, and the business of the big man must be unknown, so let the rich man handle it." The princess looked at the dry expression on the horse's face, thinking that her husband looked down on the female officials in the palace, and specially explained his function.
"Nature...... Naturally...... "Hong Tao, you can't tell the princess that this is a spy sent by your brother to spy on your husband." At this point, we can only take one step at a time.
However, looking at the expression of this rich adult, she is obviously not willing to be her deputy. It's logical, no one is willing to be an errand boy for a waste colt, and they can't see the future at all.
