Peng Haihai took a step forward and bowed back to reply:

The old slave didn't think it was wrong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLast year, the Shanggong Bureau also handed the list to the Ministry of Rites in this way. But this year, Liu Juma didn't want to do it according to this list, and it was not wrong to say that he was thrifty, but if he wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Shanggong Bureau, he couldn't stick it. So the old slave thought it was all right. ”

"That's it?"

"This, the old slave said a few words for the Shang Palace Bureau on the matter of the palace people leaving the palace, 10,000 people will leave the palace, before April next year, there will be another 4,000 people out of the palace, and by the end of next year, there will be another 2,000 people out of the palace. Such a large amount, according to the rules of leaving the palace in previous years, the palace can't pay it, and it can't afford it. ”

Peng Hai lowered his head and finished speaking, he didn't need to observe Li Yuan's face, as long as Li Yuan opened his mouth, he could hear Li Yuan's opinion on this matter.

"Let's do it first." After thinking about it, Li Yuan asked to maintain the status quo.

Peng Hai was surprised by this result, but still replied calmly: "The old slave thinks that he should persuade Liu Juma." ”

"No, you don't." Li Yuan also rejected Peng Hai's proposal.

However, Li Yuan still gave Peng Hai a little sweetness: "The objects in the palace always have to be checked." More or less, some things need to be accounted for. ”

"The old slave understands."

Li Yuan waved his hand to signal Peng Hai to retreat, and then ordered the people around him: "Go and call Liu Mu." ”

Li Yuan knew very well that where there were people, there would be fights, and the eunuchs and the Shang Palace itself were fighting for the rights in the palace. Li Yuan didn't want to change the people of the Shang Palace Bureau, because these people were very good at fighting, and if they changed a group of people, they were afraid that the eunuch group would be the dominant one. This is not Peng Hai's business alone, but the entire eunuch group.

At this time, it was already past the end of the night, that is, eleven o'clock in the night.

Liu Mu was already going to go back to Wenyue Pavilion to rest, and it was estimated that it would take some time for the palace to change clothes and check the materials, and for Wan Guifei to select ten concubines to receive new clothes in the palace first.

And the first batch of palace maids to leave the palace will be afraid that they have already arrived in Jingyang.

So Liu Mu didn't want to wait here anymore and was ready to go back to rest. But a eunuch stopped Liu Mu and told him that the saint wanted to see him.

Liu Mu followed into the palace and came to Li Yuan's study.

Li Yuan was looking at the moonlight outside the window with his hands behind his back. Liu Mu stood aside after giving the salute, and Li Yuan said: "It's not that you are wrong, some things go wrong, but you can see many problems." Tonight, it is estimated that many people will not sleep well, so will you sleep soundly? ”

"Father, your words have scared me. But there is no ghost in my heart, why can't I sleep steadily? ”

"Yes." Li Yuan turned around: "The accounts in the palace can't stand up to inspection, and the affairs in the palace can't be managed outside the palace, let me ask you, you pay the list according to the order, can you really not afford to pay?" ”

"I can afford it, but I don't want to be wronged."

"Yes, that's right." Li Yuan frowned slightly, and gently knocked his forehead: "In the former Sui Dynasty, the expenses in the palace accounted for more than 20% of the national treasury, and the expedition to Goguryeo was ten times the revenue of the treasury in a normal year, and the construction of the canal was also several times. I care. ”

Liu Mu stepped forward: "Father, my son has a suggestion, the tribute of the state capitals in the world is no longer a tribute." It's really good, and it's bought by the palace, and this alone believes that my father can be praised by all the people. ”

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't you really know the account book of the household department?" The palace can't afford it. ”

"Father, if you can afford it, it just depends on who will buy it. And to buy things, not necessarily money, as long as the value is considerable, I believe that even if those craftsmen spend a huge cost, there will be all kinds of people willing to use enough money in exchange for the corresponding value paid. To put it irreverently, you are the emperor, have you ever seen gold silk makeup? ”

"What?"

"It is recorded in the classics that the dragon robe of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years is. The process is complex, non-peak ghost workers can't, only three feet can be woven in a month, eight months to weave into a semi-finished product of a dragon robe, ten months to preliminarily complete, the final product takes fourteen months, worth five thousand. ”

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he looked at what the Tang Emperor Li Yuan was wearing now, and it was just high-quality embroidery.

Li Yuan was very interested in this topic and asked Liu Mu to continue.

"Father, Emperor Yang of Sui used the method of robbery, he did not give the craftsman enough time and wealth, and only asked for tribute. As a result, many good craftsmen are reluctant to show their skills. It's better to give you a new dress when it's new, not an official dress or a dress, just a regular dress. ”

"Okay, let me see. Your proposal allows me to think about it again, and there is also a step for the Shanggong Bureau. ”

"Erchen understands, Erchen will arrange it." After Liu Mu replied respectfully, he saw Li Yuan wave his hand and retreated out of Li Yuan's study.

After Liu Mu appeared in the study, the smile on the corner of his mouth was seen by many people.

The eunuchs believed that Liu Mu must have won.

The palace ladies were very nervous, because they had not yet received new clothes, and now they could endure the cold in autumn, but what about winter.

Although last winter survived. But the forbidden army and eunuchs have warm winter clothes, and they have no words, which is unbearable.

Yanagi didn't tell anyone that he had ghost work on his hands, and that there was more than one person.

These ghost workers told Liu Mu that their ancestors were brought to Jiangnan from Chang'an after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then settled in Jiangnan. These people learned from each other in order to survive, and inherited the brocade weaving skills of the two Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Western Jin Dynasty and the northern peoples in the early period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Then it became a self-contained system and was called the Signature Brocade.

It is the official brocade weaving workshop managed by the official office, which lasted until the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but now it was found by Liu Mu from Jiangnan and brought them back to Chang'an, which can be regarded as returning to their hometown.

Willowwood provided them with everything they needed, and renamed it Yunjin.

There is already a finished product, which is the one that countless people in later generations have tried their best to recover, and they can't find the craftsmanship, called Sujin Sayi. The whole dress weighs only fourteen yuan, which is equivalent to one tael in later generations.

When he went out of the palace, Liu Mu still found a little palace maid.

"You help Ben Jie Ma bring a message to Zuo Shanggong, if she doesn't mind those autumn clothes that she has worn once, then come to Wenyue Pavilion to find me at noon tomorrow, if she minds, forget it."

The little palace maid even forgot to give a gift, and ran to the palace as soon as she ran, she was more concerned that she could get a new dress as soon as possible.

Liu Mu also felt a little headache after leaving the palace, and even characters like Xiao Yu can have miscalculations. But thinking about it, it is estimated that Peng Hai also miscalculated.

All this is not accurate, it is in the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

Liu Mu thought again, yes, as the emperor, he is not allowed to be a monopoly in any case, and it seems that the contradiction between the Shanggong Bureau and the eunuchs is not small.

What Xiao Yu saw was only the reduction of Datang's finances as a result of this rectification.
