My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 423

[Chapter 419: The Prince’s Monthly Salary (the fifth update is about how short Xiao Rong is, the big boss is adding 3/5)]

“Your Majesty!”

At this time, Jing Zhe stood up.

Yesterday Emperor An brought a letter to Jing Zhe, but the discussion was about other things. However, he had an inexplicable sense of trust in Jing Zhe, so his eyes lit up and he was a little excited!

He has the most clever ideas and can definitely help me!

“President Jing, what’s the matter with you?”

“I–“

“President Jing, are you not following the rules by doing this?”

Su Xinping interrupted him coldly, “I am talking to His Majesty and the decision has not yet been made. You just came out, do you think that’s okay?”

“Okay.”

Jing Zhe nodded, ignoring the surprise and anger in Su Xinping’s eyes, and continued: “Because, although my next question is for Your Majesty. , but Prince Jin may know better!”

“What?”

Su Xinping looked suspicious.

“Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how much monthly salary can the prince of Anguo get?”

“…”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked a little weird.

Although Jing Zhe is in a bad mood recently, no matter how angry he is, he is only a fifth-grade official. Who has the right to interfere with the prince’s affairs?

When Su Xinping heard this, he was even more angry: “Jing, I think highly of you and call you President Jing. Do you really think of yourself as a person? Do you dare to interfere in my father’s private affairs?”

Jing Zhe was not angry. Not afraid, I glanced at him and said calmly: “First of all, I am asking your Majesty about the prince, not just Prince Jin, so please don’t take your seat. After all, as far as I know, in addition to Prince Jin, Anguo also has a prince. ! “

Jing Zhe had learned about this history. There were three brothers, Emperor An. The eldest was the prince, the second was named Su Muheng. His fiefdom was in Ruzhou and he was titled King Yu. The third was the King of Jin, Su Muyu.

“Haha, even if you ask about King Yu, that won’t work!”

Jing Zhe ignored him at all and continued: “What Persimmon said just now is wrong. Salaries are distributed by the imperial court, how can it be regarded as a private matter? And I am the president of the newspaper, so I have Your Majesty has given me the right to interview. As long as the interview is conducted, you must cooperate!”

He took out the Emperor’s Sword and pointed at Su Xinping.

“…”

Where has Su Xinping ever experienced such a scene?

My face immediately turned green!

When Bai Qingyuan next to him saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: It’s not me this time…

“Your Majesty… he, he, he…”

Su Xinping’s hands were shaking a little, because the Emperor’s Sword in Jing Zhe’s hand was getting stronger and stronger. Looking closely at Jing Zhe, he looked like he wanted to stab him to death with a sword, which frightened him into incoherent speech.

“President Jing, put the Emperor’s Sword away!” Emperor

An’s face was a little dark, as he was thinking about whether it was right or wrong to give the Emperor’s Sword to Jing Zhe!

In front of him every three days, he refers to either the Taifu or the Crown Prince. Isn’t this too rude?

The only advantage is that it delays Su Xinping’s desire to return to Jinxi. It depends on how Jing Zhe can block this matter. If he can’t block it – he must be dealt with!

After Jing Zhe put away the Emperor’s Sword, Emperor An said again: “Since President Jing asked, it’s okay to talk!”

Then he looked at the ministers and said: “When we set the monthly salary for King Yu and King Jin, I still followed Dear friends, this is not a secret! I will withdraw five hundred taels of silver from the treasury every month

!

For an ordinary family – or a wealthy family, it is actually a lot, but for a prince, it is really not much.

Because the prince’s palace is very large, and there are many family members in the palace, naturally there are also many servants and guards to serve them in the palace. Their monthly salary alone is a lot of money, and they also have various food and drink arrangements. In fact, it is really In total, five hundred taels a month is just enough.

Like King Jin, his son is in Jingzhou and he needs to bring a lot of money for expenses. The family only has five hundred taels of silver a month, which is not enough even if they are stretched thin.

Fortunately, the prince has his own fief.

Especially Jinxi, with its vast land and abundant resources, the King of Jin could collect taxes through fiefdoms, so it was enough for his daily expenses.

After Jing Zhe heard this, he turned to Su Xinping and asked, “Excuse me, Persimmon, is a monthly salary of five hundred taels a lot of money?”

“…”

Su Xinping wanted to punch Jing Zhe’s head in.

many?

I went to a brothel before and it cost me 180 taels. You tell me that 500 taels is a lot of money?

However, he did not get angry in a hurry. With a roll of his eyes, he imitated Jing Zhe’s most commonly used methods and asked, “Why, are you questioning the decision of His Majesty and your lords at that time?”

Jing Zhe shook his head, “It seems Since Persimmon said this, it means that the monthly salary of five hundred taels set by His Majesty is not much. Maybe one month in the Jin Palace is not enough? “

“…”

Su Xinping was confused by this, and the more he listened, the more he felt, Does this guy seem to be speaking for his own family?

Emperor An also didn’t understand Jing Zhe’s tricks, so he could only say: “If we only count these five hundred taels, it is indeed not much, but in fact, it is not only these five hundred taels!”

As soon as An Di finished speaking, Zhu Tong stood up.

“President Jing, when we set the monthly salary, Your Majesty and we took into account the size of the fiefdoms of King Jin and King Yu and the taxes and fees that can be collected every month, and then we formulated the five hundred taels!”

After a pause, he said: ” If there is no famine, the monthly tax revenue can almost cover the expenses of the prince’s palace. The monthly salary of five hundred taels may not seem like much, but in fact there will be some surplus every month!”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Tong went to see Su Xinping.

After hearing Zhu Tong’s words, Su Xinping naturally felt that he was helping him, and immediately nodded and said: “Prime Minister Zhu is right! These five hundred taels are not much, but due to taxes, the expenses of the Jin Palace are enough. Use it, but there won’t be much left!”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jing Zhe proudly.

In his opinion, Jing Zhe was so bad, and the reason why he asked this was probably because he wanted Anti to deduct their monthly salary!

Although they, Prince Jin’s Mansion, had many ways to get money, and they really didn’t take a mere five hundred taels of silver seriously, but those were all shady things, so naturally he couldn’t talk about it.

Jing Zhe nodded after hearing this, “Oh, that’s it!”

Then he changed the subject and said, “Then I would like to ask Persimmon, would it be difficult if the Jin Prince’s Mansion came up with four to five thousand taels of silver at once?”

“…

Seeing all the ministers looking at him, Su Xinping calmed down and said coldly: “What are you thinking about? Didn’t I tell you? Five hundred per month, plus taxes, is enough for the Jin Palace.

“

, even if there is a surplus, it will not be too much, and we have to keep it, because maybe there is a natural disaster and the harvest will be reduced, and the tax will naturally be reduced. We still need four or five thousand taels of silver to prepare for emergencies! Not coming out!”

“…”
