Fast travel to start the koi luck

Even when officials in other places heard the news, they quickly sent people to Beijing to handle the matter. Now, almost all the concubines who have not left the palace have no family members and cannot provide money of their own.

After more than half a month, Ning Yue had earned nearly 6 million taels just from the redemption money!

This number shocked Yan Lingchen!

"How did you think of asking the minister to redeem your daughter?"

Ning Yue said with a smile: "You want to open trade routes, and you also need to build a naval army in the south, which requires a lot of money. Even if you have some wealth, it will be used up at some point, so I will naturally increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

It's worth saving a little bit, and don't let go of a tael of silver when you can make it.

After releasing these concubines, I will also release the palace maids and eunuchs. Those over twenty-five years old will leave unconditionally. Those who do not meet the conditions can also redeem themselves. Although the money may not be much, if one of them leaves, we will have less expenses. In the future , the master of this palace is our family, why do we need so many slaves? "

She asked Qian Yu to count for her. There were more than 5,000 maids and eunuchs in the entire palace on the roster.

Not to mention that these people's monthly silver is a huge amount, how much do they spend just on food and clothing?

It is true that each palace must leave servants to sweep the house, but there is really no need to keep so many.

Moreover, the situation in the palace is special now, and there must be some smart people scrambling to pay money to leave the palace.

Yan Lingchen reached out and hugged the person into his arms, his eyes full of smiles: "You really helped me a lot."

"It's nothing more than grabbing money from ministers. I'm good at this."

"What are you going to do about the crazy one?"

Ning Yue smiled: "Cheng'en Gong went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was willing to pay one hundred thousand taels to take the people away, but I didn't agree. The imperial concubine is not really crazy."

Ling Xuazhi: "...she is really scheming."

"This is not important to me. If she wants to pretend, she must be prepared to pretend for the rest of her life. The reason why she is not let out is to let the courtiers understand that I, the Queen Mother, are not welcome in the Cheng'en Palace.

I think it won't be long before Duke Chengen will be impeached. "

The former Empress Dowager had been in power for nearly forty years, and the Cheng'en Palace had reaped countless benefits through her influence. One hundred thousand taels was not her goal, she wanted to get them all back.

Ling Xuan knew it, and he wanted people from Xichang to collect evidence of the Cheng'en Palace.

Ning Yue suddenly thought of something, "By the way, let Xichang pay more attention to the movements of the generals. No matter whether it is a big event or a small matter, let them report any changes."

"You think something's going to happen?"

Ning Yue: "The process by which you came to power was too simple. Although several officials were beheaded in the main hall that day, it was not enough!

There were many unresolved problems in the early days of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, and there were especially many problems in the twenty years after Shang Xing ascended the throne.

The large amount of land controlled by the noble families led to many people having to rent land or work as long-term laborers in exchange for food to survive as a family. "

If Yan Lingchen conquered the world with his soldiers, then they could take the opportunity to nationalize the land and distribute it to the local people.

Not really.

Fortunately, the people were spared from the war, so she couldn't say which one was better.

However, the solution to the problem is that equalizing land was not easy to achieve in ancient times, but the state can promote land reclamation. She has seen the map of Yan State and found that a lot of land has not been used. In the future, more decrees can be issued to encourage land reclamation.

When people had their own land, they no longer had to rent other people's land. As commerce developed and more people engaged in business, the land held by the noble families would naturally decrease if no one cultivated it.

But again, take your time, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

After the news spread in the palace that the man who had released the palace was leaving the palace, someone actually took money to redeem himself from the palace.

Ning Yue and Qian Yu had studied the specific amount of silver redemption before. In Ning Yue's view, this means that after signing the employment contract, workers must leave their jobs early. The younger they are, the more silver they will receive, and the older they will receive. The less the money is, the palace people can leave immediately after paying the money according to this standard.

The first batch of palace residents to be released also have requirements. Ning Yue has set a target. People in each palace can leave at will. Each department must have a target for those who want to leave. If the target is enough, it must be slow to leave. In short, The reform of the harem is proceeding in an orderly manner.

…

As Ning Yue thought, Duke Chengen was impeached quickly. Of course, people from Xichang also made a lot of efforts to ensure the authenticity of the witnesses and material evidence. The prince of Duke Chengen accidentally killed someone. In order to hide the evidence of the crime, he killed the whole family. Duke Chengen accepted bribes to help people arrange official positions, and the most important point was that they were involved with Shang Yunqing, who was seeking the throne.

Several people in the Cheng'en Palace who had lives in their hands were immediately sentenced to death, while the rest had their homes confiscated and sent into exile.

Ning Yue deliberately passed the news to the imperial concubine, who immediately burst into tears. Now the little palace maid who followed her also understood that the imperial concubine had been pretending to be crazy.

009 also learned bad things recently. He got a nightmare pill from another person and encouraged Ning Yue to give it to the imperial concubine.

This elixir is also very interesting. The potency can last for a month, which means that the imperial concubine can have nightmares for a month. It allows the imperial concubine to relive the glory of her previous life, and also allows her to see Wen Ningyue's tragic death. Then she was reborn and came back to take revenge, and she saw that "Eunuch Hu" fed her false pregnancy medicine, and then the concubines and maids who were killed by her came to seek revenge on her...

Within a few days, the imperial concubine was tortured so much that she went crazy. One day, someone found her body in the lake in the Imperial Garden.

The palace has been streamlined and the palace people who were previously leisurely can only immerse themselves in work. No one noticed when the imperial concubine ran out of the cold palace, and they did not know whether her death was due to her own slip and falling into the water, or whether someone killed her in revenge. Push into the water.

…

The Qin family outside the palace.

Shang Yunran has been bedridden for almost a month, and her husband has not visited her once since she became ill, not even once.

At first, she thought her husband was too busy. Later, she thought it was because she had not been able to conceive a child for her husband, so he was angry.

She just wants to take good care of her body now. No matter what, she is also her husband's wife. As long as she takes good care of her health and gives birth to a son and a half for her husband, their relationship will be as good as before.

The door creaked, and her personal maid Jin'er came in with a bowl of soup and medicine. Shang Yunran glanced at her and said, "Put down the medicine. I'll drink it after it cools down."

Jin'er obediently put down the medicine bowl, walked to the bed, helped Shang Yunran up, and put a cushion behind her.

"Where did the young master rest last night?"

Jin'er pursed her lips and said, "Study."

Shang Yunran's face improved.

Jin'er couldn't speak again, "Princess, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Shang Yunran glared at her, "What are you doing all this? If you have something to say, just say it, can you please be quick? Cough, cough..."
