Chapter 22 This emperor is a bit poor
The miserable Qi Ranran had to spend a long time just to read.
More importantly.
Oh my god, you wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it. Once you look at it, you realize how expensive this palace is.
In the Queen Mother's Palace, there are forty ordinary servants and fifteen palace maids. In addition to a few in the small kitchen, there are more than sixty people serving in the palace alone.
As for the Dog Emperor's Taihe Palace, there were sixty ordinary servants alone, plus the other maids, there were at least a hundred people.
This is not counting the bodyguards.
Now there are only Xu Mei and Zheng Cairen in the Dog Emperor's harem. They are of low rank, and there are only sixteen people in the two palaces combined.
Even her Changle Palace was served by thirty people in front and back.
If there are more people in the future and all the palaces are filled with people, the monthly money alone for each palace will be a huge expense.
Not only that, if you encounter various events held by royal banquets, the cost will be even greater.
Qi Ranran couldn't help but sigh when he saw the record above.
No wonder harems in TV dramas always cut down on expenses. This place with so many people spends a lot of money.
That's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that she discovered that this dog emperor...may not be as rich as she thought.
According to information, the late emperor, the father of the Dog Emperor, lived a luxurious life in his later years and spent an unusually large amount of money.
Therefore, after the Dog Emperor ascended the throne, this money was not restricted as usual.
Qi Ranran just lay down on the table and didn't want to get up.
I originally thought that when she got to the palace, she, a salted fish cook, would at best find a bigger pond.
But now it seems that the pond is indeed quite big, but without water, she may die of drought.
Although there are many things in her palace that can be supplemented, it is definitely not an option to continue to supplement them for a long time.
Cutting cost?
That’s even worse!
I'm already very frustrated in the palace. Is it possible for people to pay for the tailoring?
Furthermore, this rule has been going on for a long time. If it were to drop suddenly, the palace officials would definitely not be happy.
This is the same as doing business.
When business is in a downturn, you have to reflect and innovate to find a way out.
Layoffs are okay, but if the company itself has no vitality, it will die.
Therefore, Qi Ranran thought about it for a whole night, and finally the only thing he could come up with was a solution.
That means you have to make money first.
But how did you make money in ancient times?
Qi Ranran had an idea and suddenly remembered his third brother at home.
After all, her third brother is also the richest man in the capital. There should be many ways to make money in business. She can ask him first.
Qi Ranran thought about it and started to act directly. After writing the letter, she gave it to Caiyue and sent it out.
Outside the palace.
Qi Mansion.
As soon as Qi Shaoyu, the third eldest son of the Qi family, saw Qi Ranran's letter, he immediately asked someone to prepare ten thousand taels of silver notes without saying a word, put them into a box, and immediately sent them to the palace.
Why does his sister need to make money?
When a brother makes money, he must spend it on his sister first!
After the person in charge left, Qi Shaoyu still had a worried look on his face, "Second brother, I always feel that my sister will be wronged in the palace."
From the palace to the outside, information does not travel that fast.
Therefore, they only learned the news that Qi Ranran was in the palace one day later.
My younger sister entered the palace as a mere concubine, but ended up becoming a prostitute again.
Fortunately, he was restored to the throne, otherwise Qi Shaoyu was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it and rush into the palace to take his sister out.
The second eldest child, Qi Huanyu, held a book and said calmly, "Since a letter has arrived, proving that Ranran is fine, you should stop worrying."
However, there was something he wanted to say, "You were very generous just now. You directly gave Ranran ten thousand taels. I have been using the four treasures of the study for a while, but you, my younger brother, didn't show any sign of it."
***The author has something to say***
Qi Ranran (crying loudly): What the heck, the Dog Emperor is not only a dog, but also a poor man, oooooo~
Yuwen Chen: I...
Qi Ranran (wiping away tears): What, did I have some misunderstanding?
Yuwen Chen (cold face and disgusted): I don’t care about you.
Qi Ranran (sighing angrily): What a big lie.
