After two days, the sky cleared up completely.
After breakfast, Jiang Shu called Manager Mo and Manager Wu, and took a few steady servants with him to take inventory of the warehouse.
Before opening the treasury, Manager Mo and Manager Wu looked at each other and said: "Princess, the treasury is very rich, and we may not be able to count it all in one day. It would be more convenient to call in the other stewards in the mansion to help." Able to complete the inventory before sunset.”
This matter is of great importance and cannot be left to just the two of them.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu immediately understood the thoughts of the two people, nodded and said: "What Manager Mo said is reasonable, then it's up to you to invite all the managers over and take stock together."
"Yes." Mo Liang accepted the order and hurried away.
Of course, he would not say that it was his idea, only that it was on the order of the princess.
Taking over the responsibility of checking the warehouse and observing the rules is already an offending thing, and Jiang Shu doesn't care about it.
After Mo Liang called all the stewards, Wu Qian opened the warehouse and everyone went in to take stock.
Before going in, Jiang Shu was mentally prepared, but after going in, she was still shocked.
The palace warehouse is actually composed of several rooms, and the things stored in each room are different.
The first thing that catches your eye after entering the warehouse is all kinds of expensive furniture.
For example, huanghuali wood chairs, golden nanmu bookcases, rosewood screens, etc. are neatly displayed, filling the hall-sized tukuro.
There are small doors on both sides. The right door stores furs, satin and other clothing materials. The left door leads to several wall cabinets, which contain purple sand teapots, sapphire cups and plates and other utensils, as well as some rare medicinal materials.
Going inside the Toukuo, there are three doors. One room stores antiques, calligraphy, brushes, inks, paper and inkstones. Another room displays rare weapons, including swords, bows and arrows, long spears, short whips, etc.
Push open the middle door and go in, which is the largest main warehouse, the silver warehouse.
All money coming in and out of the palace comes from here.
There are many lacquered wooden boxes stacked in the bank, including silver, gold, jewelry and jade, as well as scattered silver and copper coins.
There is also a row of closets beside the wall, containing brocade boxes of different sizes. Jiang Shu opened one at random, and there lay a golden crown with hair tied inside.
Jiang Shu understood, thinking that these brocade boxes were filled with gold and jade ornaments.
"Princess, where should we take stock first? How should we take stock?" Steward Mo asked respectfully.
Jiang Shu Ning said: "The inventory will be divided into two groups. You and Manager Wu will take the lead. Starting from the furniture and fabrics, we will create a new record."
"Create a new register?" Steward Mo was slightly surprised, and the other stewards were also surprised when they heard this.
Jiang Shu looked at them with deep eyes and said solemnly: "The royal palace has had many accounts in the past few years and it is impossible to calculate them. Therefore, from today onwards, the records will be re-recorded. Everything in the past will not be held accountable."
When Guanshi Mo and others heard this, they were shocked and filled with luck.
Jiang Shu took in all their expressions and without saying anything else, ordered Chu Yutanyu to follow Mo Liang and Wu Qian and make a record with them.
Jiang Shu personally supervised the work and ordered the remaining people to take charge of inventory.
After half a day's work, Kankan finished counting the four warehouses, leaving only the silver warehouse and the weapons warehouse.
After lunch, the group continued counting.
There were very few items in the armory, and soon the inventory was completed, and everyone went to the bank to help.
After working together all afternoon, we finally finished counting the last box of copper coins before sunset.
"Princess, all the items in the warehouse have been recorded in the book. Please take a look at it." Mo Liang and Wu Qian submitted the book.
Every single stroke in this book was recorded under the watchful eye of Chuyu Tanyu, and there is absolutely no discrepancy.
Jiang Shu was very relieved and ordered Chu Yu to put away the book and take it back for inspection.
"Everyone has worked hard. I have ordered the kitchen to reward everyone with extra food and wine tonight."
When everyone heard this, they saluted happily: "Thank you, Princess."
I have long heard that when Jiang Shu was the mistress of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, she was kind and gentle to her servants. When I saw her today, it was true.
After seeing Jiang Shu off, everyone happily returned to the lower house, preparing to have a good meal and drink.
Just as Jiang Shu said, when it was dark, a sumptuous banquet was served from the kitchen, and everyone drank happily.
Mo Liang, Wu Qian and others sat together, and after three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, they gradually started chatting.
"I thought the princess would give us a slap in the face today, but unexpectedly she actually gave us a banquet."
"I have a cousin who works in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. I heard from him that the princess has a gentle temperament and is extremely generous to her servants. She is a rare and good mistress."
"She is gentle and generous. I think her means are limited. She is not from a wealthy family after all. Apart from being able to settle accounts, she probably knows nothing else."
"Everyone in the city knows that she used her dowry to support the Marquis of Jing'an. From this alone, it can be seen that she is not a shrewd person."
"This... what you hear is false, what you see is true. It's too early to draw a conclusion now. Let's wait and see for a while, and be careful about sailing the ship of ten thousand years."
The stewards kept talking to each other, taking advantage of the fact that this was the lower house and the door to the side hall was closed, so they had nothing to fear.
The night is dark and windy, and the crescent moon hangs alone.
In the main courtyard, after taking a bath, Jiang Shu opened the album, but was taken away by Yu Zheng before he could even read it.
"Why are you busier than me? Don't exhaust yourself. I'll see you tomorrow."
Jiang Shu was indeed a little tired today, so he lay down on Yu Zheng's lap obediently.
Yu Zheng teased her like a waterfall of green hair, and asked in a warm voice about the day's inspection of the treasury.
Jiang Shu asked him back: "Do you know how big the warehouse in the mansion is? How many things are in it?"
Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I've been there once, but I haven't been there for a few years. Is there a lot in it?"
Jiang Shu sighed: "You don't visit once in several years, and you don't take care of the general affairs of the government. You don't even know how corrupt the people below are."
Yu Zheng also sighed: "I'm usually busy and I really don't have time to take care of this."
Compared with the state and the people's livelihood, the affairs of the royal family are nothing to mention.
The man's ambitions are in the world, not in the house. Jiang Shu understands that Yu Zheng is not to blame for this, she just feels a little sorry for him.
"I will feel relieved that you will take care of the general affairs in the house from now on." Yu Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, full of trust.
Jiang Shu looked up at him and frowned slightly: "I have expressed my attitude to them today, but if they dare to do it again, they will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
"Well, look at it. I have prepared the princess's jade seal for you. You can act directly from now on. If there is anyone who disobeys, just order the guards to take it. We will not tolerate it."
Yu Zheng also knew that the atmosphere in this house needed to be tidied up.
Finally, Yu Zheng said again: "You can do whatever you want with the things in the treasury, and you don't need to ask me about it."
It was useless to ask him, he had no idea what was in the warehouse.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu's almond-shaped eyes turned, and he said deliberately: "Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy and empty your warehouse?"
Yu Zheng curled his lips and smiled: "Husband and wife are one, what's mine is yours, just be happy with it."
The sudden words of endearment made Jiang Shu's face heat up, showing a bit of shyness.
Yu Zheng's eyes darkened when he saw it, he knelt down and kissed her moist cherry lips.
Following Yu Zheng's movements, the ink hair on the back of his head flowed down, intertwined with Jiang Shu's black hair, making it difficult to distinguish between you and me.
