Chapter 286: Reform II
If you are a more important friend, you will find some antique calligraphy and paintings that are not related to money but are collected at a high price.
The prince is honest and can never do anything about selling official positions and titles. He usually does not say anything when he helps others, and he can't find anyone even if he wants to thank him.
Lan Ruoxi now understands that if she wants to live the life of an upper-class person, she still needs enough money to support her.
Fortunately, the brothel she used to run also made a lot of money, otherwise she would have to worry about financial affairs.
Lan Ruoxi sat in the account room and said, "Butler, how many acres of land do we have?"
The housekeeper said, "Princess, there are 300,000 mu of land granted by the emperor in the mansion, of which 60,000 mu of good land, 140,000 mu of neither good nor bad land, and 100,000 mu of barren land."
"Have all the barren land been rented out?" Lanruoxi Road.
"Although the barren land has a lot of weeds, it is not fertile and cannot grow many houses because the land is not fertile. The tenants think the rent is too expensive and only rented out 5,000 acres." said the housekeeper.
Lanruoxi Road, "Then how many people are in our mansion?"
"There are more than 6,000 people in the kitchen alone, and there are more than 100 people." The housekeeper said.
"There are so many servants? No wonder they receive so much money every month." Lanruoxi Road.
"Don't be afraid of offending others. You can point out all the extra people at young ages. If you stay in the house, those who are under forty years old account for at least 60% of the total number."
"Dare you ask what the princess wants so many people to do? Do you want them to leave the princess' mansion with their bags? How many people do you want your slaves to pick up?" said the housekeeper. What the princess asked was a bit strange.
"It's enough for three or four hundred people. Men should be more, and women are more than twenty years old." Lanruoxi Road, "Don't rent those land that cannot be rented to others. I also checked the terrain myself. It was surrounded by mountains and there were very deep grass in the middle. Farming is not suitable, but grazing is very suitable."
"Gratten?" The butler looked puzzled.
"Yes. Our mansion needs to streamline personnel in the house to enclose cattle and sheep, but these people have made great contributions to the royal mansion. Now they are told to leave, and it is not ours. Now they are assigned to grazing outside. It is fifty miles away from here. It is a bit hard, so men will grazing, women will cook and shear wool, and manage chores."
"But it is probably not suitable to let them go to such a faraway place to graze, right? They must be making trouble, and it will not end at that time." The butler said.
"Things that money can solve are not things. According to the profits at the end of the year, everyone has a share. The royal family accounts for the big part, they take the small part, everyone does the things that are beneficial, and everyone does food and accommodation. They only need to concentrate on grazing. It is best to have 400 people and 300 people. The remaining 100 people can be used to miss their hometowns in daily life, and they can replace shifts and vacations." Lanruoxi Road.
"It would be easier to deal with if there were more than a dozen, and if there were so many, it would be difficult to manage it at that time." The housekeeper said, it was amazing that the princess could come up with such a good idea. She used to be a daughter, so why was she so experienced in doing business?
