273 The Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces

Hearing that two stones cannot be increased, this number will definitely not be satisfactory. The chapter is updated the fastest

Three thousand two hundred taels of silver a year are really not enough for the eunuch in charge. In their status, the clothes that are distributed in the palace are worn by the palace, but there must always be decent outside.

Although some ordinary managers have a filial piety, the investigation in the palace is too strict, and there is no money under the group.

Importantly, for the sake of identity, they will also have many rewards.

More importantly, as Cheng Jing said, they should leave some money for their future old age.

"Cloth, rice, essential oils, vanilla, even jewelry, jade, wood. Of course, there are some gadgets, etc. In short, there must be some. According to the price discount in Beijing, it is impossible to give silver to goods of three stones of silver. If the silver expenditure is too large, there will be not so much silver."

Is there a lot of silver in the Ming Dynasty?

In fact, there are much fewer ones than the later Qing dynasties.

Because of the small peasant thoughts developed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty almost degenerated into a social economy that can barter. In fact, the quantity of copper coins and the quantity of silver are far from enough to support the market economy of the Ming Dynasty.

"How about the market price 30% off?" Jin Yingxin said that the number is almost the same, at least it has barely reached the price in the minds of these people. As for the difference, it is almost the same. A few special people will give one of them separately, but the overall rules cannot be changed.

"It's still suitable for 95% off."

Bai Minghe and Jin Ying were bargaining, but finally made a decision at a 10% discount, but gave ten tumbles of white linen and ten stones of rice for the extra one.

After these eunuchs were concerned about their own affairs, at least the actual cost in the palace was not that important. At least they did not bargain with Bai Minghe, which ensured the cost of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The rest were not very important, but when the empress dowagers of the two palaces were the empress dowagers.

As the general manager of these two palaces, we naturally have to do our part for their master.

People are always selfish and will talk about their master's affairs before they can finish their own affairs. Of course, it may also be related to the interests of all eunuchs. No one thinks they should interrupt.

Finally, we mentioned the New Year's tribute from the two empress dowagers.

Cheng Jing asked at this time: "Mr. Bai, you should personally send tribute to the palace for this tribute. As for the tribute, it is the intention of being a minister."

Cheng Jing also had a smile on his face. This hint made Bai Minghe feel a sudden heartbroken. He cursed in his heart: It is important to get away from his mother's tribute. The two empress dowagers dare not lose that one. Unless you are already desperate about your life, you really dare not be careless about this tribute.

No! Bai Minghe suddenly reacted. Cheng Jing's words were not reminded of his tribute, but rather the two empress dowagers.

"You're all back. You're all in your errands. You can just ask the miscellaneous people." Jin Ying sent away 90% of the people present with one sentence. None of the eunuchs said anything more. What they care about most is their own share. As for the cost in the palace, it's just an extra one. No one else has to worry about when there is too much child.

For example, Kim Young, Sung Kyung, or long live the present.

The eunuchs in charge left, but four were left behind, namely the empress dowager, the empress, and the eunuchs in the palace of Guifei Hang. In terms of rank and duties, they were more than a few streets away from Jin Ying, but the people they served were different, so Jin Ying also gave them some face.

On the other side, the Bai Minghe had already knelt in front of a door of the inner palace and listened to the Xuan.

Queen Mother Sun was still a little surprised that Bai Minghe was the first to visit her. After all, she was already an outdated empress dowager. She is now popular in the palace and her own son is the emperor. Even if she has no power, she is still powerful.

He deliberately put on the formal outfit of the empress dowager and did not hang a bead curtain, so he directly met Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe came in to kneel down, but after hearing the ban, he did not get up: "My son apologized for the emperor's mother. Yuan Jun has been on the sea boat for the past half month and has not recovered in the mansion in the past few days. He should have brought her to pay tribute to the emperor's mother, but Mr. Yuan apologized for the emperor's mother on behalf of Mr. Yuan."

Queen Mother Sun was stunned for a moment.

She took Sun Yuanjun as her daughter, but she just wanted to leave a way for the future and also for her son. When Bai Minghe came in, she didn't even think of this.

When she first thought that Bai Minghe should call herself the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother.

Although the title of the Ming Palace does not require a royal honorary title, for example, the crown prince calls the emperor the father, not the father, and the emperor calls the mother when he sees the empress dowager.

The word "Bai Minghe" is novel, but it is not without politeness.

"Come on, arrange for two profitable people in the palace to go to my son's place to treat him. Minghe, get up and sit down, and talk to you with your mother." Empress Dowager Sun was very kind, at least this white Minghe looked very pleasant.

Bai Minghe only stood up after giving a gift and handed a booklet to the palace maids here.

"Emperor, my son has managed some in Nanyang for Long Live, and brought some new things back. Although there may be some in the palace..." Before Bai Minghe finished speaking, Empress Dowager Sun smiled and said, "This is your intention. Even if there is one in the palace, I know."

Empress Dowager Sun did not call herself a mourning family, but called herself me.

Four wooden boxes were carried in, three wooden boxes were wrapped in sacks, and there was a layer of quilt inside. Inside was fresh aloe. "Imperial lady, this is called aloe. Erchen found fresh goods in Nanyang."

"Grandma, this is a good item. A few years ago, a merchant brought back those small black pieces from the west, which were the juice of the items." The general manager in the palace received the benefits and naturally spoke for the white-famous crane.

Queen Mother Sun left her seat: "This is aloe vera. I heard from the imperial doctors in the palace that this thing is a good product for women."

"Your Madam, you like it. My son will arrange for ships from Nanyang to send some fresh ones to Kyoto every time." Bai Minghe smiled beside him and then opened another box: "This is called bird's nest. This thing is the best among bird's nests, called blood bird's nest. It is only produced on a cliff of thousands of feet. This thing has five major effects: nourishing yin, moistening qi, nourishing the middle, and nourishing the skin."

Bai Minghe still thought that the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty had never seen this thing.

In fact, the first record of bird's nest in history was more than a hundred years later, but the lack of records does not mean that people in the palace have never seen it.

This thing is among the top ones in the palace and is worth comparable to gold, because Daming currently has no origin at all, and a very small number of tributes from the southwest of Daming are still there, but the quality is thousands of miles away from the white-famous crane.
