Chapter 2379

The emperor, Empress and many royal sons, daughters and concubines are served by the inner province and the palace province. The inner province head serves the inner Province, goes in and out of the palace, and publicizes the order. There are yeting Bureau, Gongwei Bureau, Xi official bureau, internal servant Bureau and internal government bureau; The province in the temple is the Bureau of food, medicine, clothes, houses and chariots.

These two provinces are managed by internal officials. Internal officials are either internal servants or female officials, and few foreign ministers are in charge.

However, there is also a big manager in these two provinces. Now the big manager is Lord Luo. He is in charge of the royal family, or the emperor's private property.

However, he only took care of external affairs with his own men, such as the operation of shops and minerals in Huangzhuang and the emperor. He was very busy. Basically, the two provinces belong to autonomy.

The officials who served as the chief manager were very self-aware and did not dare to participate too much in the affairs of the two provinces. After all, they were all the family affairs of the emperor.

Moreover, the chief manager was not only the emperor's courtiers, but also the Queen's men.

Yes, Lord Luo not only has to obey the emperor, but also the queen. The queen also has the power to appoint and remove the chief manager of the internal Treasury and deal with the internal Treasury affairs.

Therefore, Lord Luo took office and took care of these industries of the empress emperor conscientiously. Occasionally, he went home with a little things. The communication with the two provinces was nothing more than asking for money and materials. He gave money and materials after he had no problem with the approval.

Of course, he doesn't have to do such things himself. Most of the chores are left to Xin Chun.

The imperial villa near the capital was often visited by the empress and the sons and daughters of the emperor, so Luo Da handed over the two imperial villas in the capital to the NEISHI province.

I didn't expect it to be so convenient for you and me.

Lord Luo is still kneeling in the palace.

Gu Zhong brought in a cup of tea, carefully put it by the emperor's hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, how about trying today's tea?"

The emperor took a drink and a sip of tea, and his spirit was much better. Then he looked at Lord Luo, who was still kneeling on the side, and said coldly, "get up."

Lord Luo was relieved, got up from the ground and stood with his head down.

The emperor said, "I always believe in you, so I'll give you everything. The Ministry of household shouted for a deficit, and the inner Treasury also shouted for a deficit. As a result, it was not me but you who were in deficit!"

The emperor was angry when he talked about it and couldn't help putting the teacup on the table.

Lord Luo knelt down again and quickly pleaded guilty.

The emperor sneered and said, "Liu Hui is still ordinary, but he is a good hand in accounting. Go and give him all the accounts of the internal service province and the Dianzhong province. Let your internal Treasury calculate quickly together with the household department. I want to see how my internal Treasury is getting poorer day by day."

Lord Luo answered respectfully, and then he got up and retreated slowly.

The emperor looked at Gu Zhong and said, "you go with me. If the NEISHI province and Dianzhong province don't obey, you beat them."

Gu Zhong smiled and bowed back.

Lord Luo stood outside waiting for him. They walked out together. When they went away, the breath in Lord Luo's chest came out.

Different from foreign ministers like Wei Zhi, Lord Luo often deals with Gu Zhong. They know each other very well, so he glanced over and said coldly, "I heard that your Majesty was only accompanied by Gu Nei before he was angry?"

Gu Zhong sighed and said, "Lord Luo, this is really my fault. I didn't expect your majesty to be so angry."

Lord Luo frowned. "What did you say to your majesty?"

Gu Zhonglian hurriedly said, "Lord Luo, listen to our explanation first. I'm not suing. Ouch, it's too late to say this now. I'm very flustered and guilty."

Lord Luo will listen to this. Do you really feel guilty? Who knows?

The lives of these internal servants are not uncommon. How many consciences can they have?

Now Lord Luo just wants to know why the emperor was so generous.

Gu zhongrou said in a voice, "I'm also talkative. Your majesty is in a good mood this morning. The folding has been arranged early. If you're free, your majesty wants to go out for a walk."

"But Lord Luo also knows that his majesty dare not go there because Lord Wei impeached him in the rare animal park, but the wind outside is strong, and the cold wind in spring is even tighter than the cold wind in winter. His Majesty was a little cold two days ago. How dare I let him out?"

Lord Luo: "say the point."

Gu Zhong said with a guilty look on his face, "in order not to let your majesty go out for a hair dryer, I'll tell your majesty something interesting outside. Isn't that about doctor Zhou xiaotai?"

Lord Luo: "Zhou man, Lord Zhou?"

"Exactly."

Lord Luo: "what does this have to do with her?"

"It doesn't matter," Gu Zhong said with a depressed face, "but your majesty likes Lord Zhou, so I'll find some interesting stories about Lord Zhou to tell your majesty. I remember Lord Zhou mentioned before that she can operate since childhood. Therefore, at a young age, the Zhou family and the Bai family set aside a small villa for her to take care of together with the son-in-law of Bai county. The villa not only grows wheat and rice, And raised many chickens and ducks. "

"The eggs laid by that chicken can bring the price of three Wen and two eggs in the county to one Wen and one egg. Later, it was two Wen and three eggs. It is said that now the eggs in their county have been reduced to one Wen and two eggs." Gu Zhong sighed: "who knows what a coincidence. At that time, Xiaoyuan, the Taiyuan hospital on your Majesty's desk, happened to have a letter asking for funding. It is said that the first money allocated to them by the Ministry of household and the internal Treasury spent quickly, and many people entered the imperial Villa, which cost more, so..."

Gu Zhong looked up sympathetically at Lord Luo, "Your Excellency should have known why your majesty is angry? Not only did the price of the things bought by the imperial villa to the imperial medical department falsely increase, but also the things bought in the palace... "

Lord Luo's mouth moved and said after a long time: "of course I know that the hands and feet of the people under my hand are not very clean, but when the water is clear, there is no fish. I want the best things for the palace, and it's normal that the price is higher than outside."

Luo Da's head hurt and said, "even if these chicken, duck, egg, meat and vegetables are twice as high, how much more can they cost?"

Gu Zhong said with a smile, "it's not only twice as high, but it's three times as high. It's said that there are only two Wen eggs on the market outside, but all the eggs bought by the purchasing supervisor are six Wen. How many eggs does the whole palace consume every day? This day's accumulation can also have a lot of money. "

He said, "if they hadn't gone too far, your majesty wouldn't have been so cruel."

Lord Luo frowned, "I can't intervene in the purchase in the palace. It's always done by the internal waiter province. The internal Treasury only allocates money..."

Gu Zhong said faintly, "Lord Xin, under Lord Koro, has been doing this all the time. It's said that Lord Xin has been in charge of the purchase since the boy's waiter was ill."

As soon as Lord Luo listened, he immediately stopped talking. It was a great taboo to interfere in the palace. Even he, the righteous manager of the internal Treasury, had to avoid it. Where did Xin Chun have the courage to intervene?
