Section 21 Farewell
Ye Tao finally understood why the prince came to Yicheng and urged Tan Weixin to return to Beijing. It turned out that Tan Weixin, who had the internal coins, used economic means to vent her dissatisfaction.
Indeed, Tan Weixin was powerless to prevent an extremely annoying guy from marrying her father to become a princess. After all, it was a major event between the two countries and represented the intimate relationship between the two countries. Although the candidates were not very good, she had to give in. But she could express her opinions on this matter.
Chunnan Kingdom is rich and luxurious. When the envoys of Chunnan Kingdom swear to list a lot of dowry, indeed, the Lord of Dongping needs to make corresponding statements to express his importance to this matter. In addition to various items and specialties, Princess Bailian also came with many palace maids, female officials, even opera troupes, singers and dancers, etc. The guards that accompanied him will return to the country after staying in Dongping for a year. There are also scholars and scholars who represent the Dingsheng Wenzhuan Kingdom, who will stay in Dongping for a year to several years. Although the various craftsmen in Dongping are of the best in the world, Chunnan Kingdom also sent some top craftsmen to show off, and said that they did not want this in Dongping. As for whether they really wanted this, that was another matter.
In order to achieve this, Dongping Kingdom had to spend money to build palaces, build a high-end hangar for people from Chunnan Kingdom to live in, etc. Moreover, this is also a face-saving project, and it must be able to fully demonstrate the style of Dongping Kingdom, and spending money is indispensable.
Although the treasury of Dongping State is full, the fiscal surplus is still not enough to do so many projects. After discussion, it was finally decided that the treasury and the treasury each bear half of the burden. After this decision, Tan Weixin called the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry to set a general budget, and in a blink of an eye all the expenses were allocated in place, which was very refreshing. It seemed that she lived within her means and did not have to overdo it. The king of the country felt that this seemed a little sorry for her daughter's plan for her.
After some painstaking efforts, Tan Weixin threw down everything and came to Yicheng. She handed over everything in her hands to the chief supervisor Li Sishu and Eunuch Li. Originally, Eunuch Li thought that the amount of money left on the book was enough for the princess to rest for a while and then deal with it when she came back. Unexpectedly, various expenses followed one after another. Early summer was the time for the palace to carry out annual fire prevention and prevention of summer rainstorms and other projects, and it happened that this year, some palace repairs and reconstructions were required.
At the beginning, Tan Weixin suggested not to be too extravagant, and part of the reason was that she did not have the money that could be extravagant. As a result, the subsequent requisitions had almost formed a run-in trend. If Tan Weixin was there, even if she didn't have enough money, she would try every means to make money to deal with the necessary funds, cut off unnecessary expenses or delay payment of some of the funds. She knew the importance of it. And Eunuch Li was a very simple person. He paid all the several requisitions he had arrived at. Then when he realized that it was not good, he simply paid nothing and handed over the whole thing back to the king.
It was so painful that Tan Wenpei was good at military strategy and rule of law, and he almost didn't understand economic affairs, and the affairs of the inner treasury could not be faked by the ministers. It seemed that the matter was not very effective to hand over the affairs of the inner treasury to Queen Zhuo Xiu. Zhuo Xiu used to manage the inner treasury just to minimize expenses. Moreover, she was facing a few days ago to increase transparency and reduce the possibility of corruption. When Tan Weixin had been tortured twice, she had asked for funds for detailed projects. For a while, she couldn't tell what exactly was. So the king and queen, and later dragged the prince and the other two princes, began to settle accounts after dinner every day, paying the money that everyone thought was more important and could not be delayed. It was a few days like this, but when Tan Weixin arrived in Yicheng after almost 10 days of slow journey, they completely collapsed.
Everyone is very pampered with Tan Weixin, and she is in poor health. She used her body to block the prince's palm, and she also maintained the atmosphere of the palace well, and always kept the first family in Dongping. She did not let power infiltrate the family, but also educated several younger brothers and a younger sister very well, so that everyone could get along well with each other, understand their pursuits and their lives basically stifled the situation of brothers and sisters for the throne. She occasionally lost her temper like this, but everyone thought she was more cute. She was not the princess who was perfect except for her body, but a real girl.
The king and the queen struggled to persevere at the beginning. Later, when the money in their hands became less and less, and the request for money became more and more urgent, while Tan Weixin made friends in Yicheng and lived a very comfortable life and seemed to have no intention of coming back at all. They couldn't help it. The prince had to travel thousands of miles to urge him to return to the palace to rescue the crisis of the internal treasury finance.
"Well, okay. Anyway, I'm still angry and have been doing well these days. Besides, if that stupid woman doesn't come, it's not a solution to lose her temper at you. When that stupid woman comes, I'll see how I deal with her." Tan Weixin said this when she agreed to return to Beijing. The low posture of her parents and younger brothers and sisters gave her enough face, and it would be difficult to deal with it after the trouble continued. If she stayed in Yicheng for 10 more days, a new batch of requests for the deworming of insects, repairing farm tools, etc. in the imperial village, I'm afraid that her parents and younger brothers and sisters would have to consider saving their food. Thinking of this, Tan Weixin felt very funny.
The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he also learned a lesson through this matter. There are so many things in one treasury. What about a city? What about a country? How to arrange the expenditures one by one is really a profound knowledge. It is definitely not something that the Ministry of Revenue can count by reporting a few numbers.
Ye Tao is naturally indispensable among the people who saw him off. After presenting the gift to the princess, something extremely funny happened.
Tan Weixin took apart the exquisite silk and a square nanmu box wrapped inside. She glanced at Ye Tao and said to Sisi: "Go, kick this bastard's ass."
As expected, he is worthy of being a princess, and such a thing can be done for him. Ye Tao was kicked helplessly and said unjustly: "Xin'er, what's wrong?"
The title of "Xin'er" made Prince Prince and Min Yue and Peng Detian frowned, but the person involved seemed to have no feelings.
"Send me off, do you actually give me an urn?" He pointed to the large wooden box and said with great dissatisfaction. There was no cremation in this time and space. Everyone heard the princess' words and did not react for a moment. What was going on.
"Under?" Ye Tao frowned and said, "Is that the 16-chord music box that I have worked hard to make? 16-chords, 4 kinds of tones, do you think these mechanisms don't have volume?"
"Oh? What song?" Tan Weixin asked.
Ye Tao shrugged and squeezed his eyes. The meaning was clearly that you would know after hearing it. Then the princess happily put the box into the carriage.
Until the carriage was quite far away from Yicheng and no longer saw the crowd seeing off, the prince suddenly jumped into the carriage and said, "Where is Ye Tao giving you something? Let me see?"
It makes sense to say that it is an urn. The box is a bit large and the carvings of various flowers, birds, insects and fish are densely covered with carvings of various flowers, birds, insects and fish, which are extremely fine. In the lower right corner of the bottom of the box, two words are outlined with silver thread: "Canghuai".
After opening the box, the standard jewelry box layout inside was still there, but there was a clockwork inside. Tan Weixin skillfully covered the clockwork, looking forward to letting go of her hand, and the box immediately emitted a melodious melody.
It's indeed the 16th Chord 4 sound, and the sound quality is really good. I just don't know how the wind chord timbre is made in this box.
I'll see you again in a few months, right? Tan Weixin thought so.
The princess drove away the thoughts, looked at the prince who was as big as a copper bell, laughed and said, "Is it fun? This is a very good song... With it, I thought of the lyrics."
The prince said, "Who do you think you are? Seven steps into poetry?" He looked like I was waiting to watch a good show. Then, he heard the sister who had never been so happy before sing in a gentle voice:
How ridiculous the world
How boring the current affairs
It's okay to be arrogant...
