"Sir, I have made some calculations. It is estimated that the palace's production of fruits and vegetables is still insufficient. In previous years, when this happened, it was necessary to bring in some fruits such as jujubes, winter peaches, kiwis, and kiwis from the garden to supplement the supply."

In the Yamen of Yusuyuan Palace, Liu Cang was sitting cross-legged at the main seat, with four low tables in each of the lower rows. Liu Maode, Yang Tao, Yang Rong and others were busy checking the reserves of various materials in Jianzhang Palace. In the center of the hall, the female official Xu Qiuhe

When reporting to Liu Cang, Mu Qi was also waiting aside.

"Inform Luo Zhi of the quantity that needs to be prepared. Luo Zhi, quickly go to the military camp and send people to the villages to ask them to pick and hand it in as soon as possible." When Liu Cang said, Xu Qiuhe handed the rough paper to Luo Zhi.

, Luo Zhi took the order and left.

The yamen in the palace are not as open and bright as the yamen outside. The halls are like living rooms. In winter, large candles and heaters are placed in the house, and layers of curtains are layered to create passage corridors, which are ventilated but keep the room warm at all times.

There are few major events in Shanglinyuan, but trivial matters never stop, especially during some festivals, it is even busier.

Since Liu Cang took office, he has basically not changed the original management staff of Jianzhang Palace. The palace is usually managed by the female official Xu Qiuhe and the eunuch Mu Qi.

If it weren't for the efforts of these two people who have lived in Jianzhang Palace for a long time, Liu Cang would not practice martial arts on weekdays. This situation is probably his daily life.

Luo Zhi left, and Liu Maode collected the calculated information and handed it to Liu Cang. Liu Cang looked through it and reviewed it. Next, Xu Qiuhe spoke again.

"Sir, this year, one hundred and seventy palace residents have applied to return home to visit relatives. Do you think we need to make some new regulations?"

"You can take matters into your own hands and report it to Bian Ji as per previous years." Liu Cang waved his hand and Xu Qiuhe nodded in agreement.

"Everything is normal in the cleaning and arrangement of the palace. However, Sir, would you like to deal with the bears and beasts in the Dog Temple? The Dog Temple will be reopened. I heard that hounds will be shipped in after the new year. If you deal with them earlier, the servants can order someone to tidy up the arrangements." Xu Qiuhe

Say it again.

"Carambola, take people to get rid of those white mites." Liu Cang didn't even raise his head. Recently, he was taking care of the hunting forest guards. In his free time, he also went to and from the deer park. He didn't do much hunting. There wasn't much bear meat left, so he just killed it.

supplemented.

Moreover, only after winter is the peak period for bears to give birth to cubs, so Liu Cang is relatively restrained in hunting for the time being.

"Has all the silk from Sangguan been sent to the North Palace?" Yang Tao stood up and left. Liu Cang looked through the records of material exchanges in the palace in his hand, then raised his head and asked Xu Qiuhe.

"Yes, there is less silk produced this season. The thousand pieces of plain silk produced this month have all been sent to Beigong. However.

"Xu Qiuhe responded. After finishing speaking, he looked hesitant.

"Sir, although it was always sent to Nangong in the past, Nangong would also communicate with the Shaofu first and inquire about what Beigong needed before putting it into storage. Now, is it a bit troublesome?" Xu Qiuhe looked at Liu Cang carefully.

"Your Majesty has his own opinions. You and I don't need to worry about these." Liu Cang glanced at Xu Qiuhe, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. His face was calm, but he was complaining in his heart.

Claim? What a nonsense claim. Liu Hong is just messing around. The Queen is not the only one in Nangong. The Queen Mother is also in Nangong. I really don’t know what he is trying to do with all this fuss.

Jianzhang Palace has been restored for the time being, but this is only temporary.

After all, the one in the harem has not even shown his face so far, and has not made any moves at all. Once these silks are sent to the North Palace, I am afraid that trouble will just come.

"But, sir, if the queen asks me, how should I respond?" Xu Qiuhe's expression was tangled.

Xu Qiuhe was afraid of Liu Cang, and even more afraid of Liu Cang with His Majesty and Zhang Rang standing behind him.

There are many vicious and cruel things in the inner palace. When encountering fights, many times people even want to eat human flesh and blood, and curse every night.

But Liu Cang's situation is different from what Xu Qiuhe has encountered in many years. He doesn't fight with you at all and just makes people disappear.

In addition, Bian Ji beside him was very good at pushing her down and stepping up, and many palace maids had a favorable impression of her, which made Xu Qiuhe wonder how many hearts she had gained.

This group of people did not seek the benefits of the palace. Even Bian Ji, despite her name, used force to establish her authority among a group of soldiers. There were constant martial arts performances in the central school grounds. A woman who was usually soft and weak fought hard to defeat several soldiers.

Many people in the palace had seen the scene in Han Dynasty.

Bian Ji occasionally coached the palace dancers and singers on their talent and beauty. This kind of ability was not glorious. But even so, not to mention the female officials in the palace, even the guards on duty did not dare to underestimate her in the slightest.

It is said that when Liu Cang pays more attention to Cai Yan's girls, he must always pay attention to their attributes. Targeted training is inevitable. When they work hard, the growth of these girls will naturally be far beyond that of ordinary people.

Xu Qiuhe didn't want to be 'disappeared', and she wasn't sure whether the Queen could keep her. Since Liu Cang represented His Majesty, she could only console herself that she was on His Majesty's side, but when she really had to face the Queen, she felt very guilty.

.

"If Nangong asks, just say it's all my fault. If anything happens, it will be brought to my head, Shang Lin Yuanling. Just shirk it." Faced with Xu Qiuhe's inquiry, Liu Cang had no expression on his face.

"But you have to decide what should be said and what should not be said. I am responsible for the affairs of Sangguan. Don't let other matters in the palace go astray." Liu Cang explained sternly.

Xu Qiuhe felt guilty, and Liu Cang also felt guilty. He was not sure if Liu Hong could stand up to He Lian. But there was no way, Liu Hong's tricks never stopped, and many people around him took the blame for him.

The only thing that gave Liu Cang some comfort was that the people around Liu Hong took a lot of blame, but they seemed to be protected by him.

My emperor brother specializes in cheating teammates, but he has never done anything to betray his teammates. He collects eggs in various ways, but doesn't seem to kill chickens very much.

Liu Cang took over the matter, Xu Qiuhe said nothing more, Xu Qiuhe resigned and left, and Mu Qi stepped forward again.

"Sir, the leather materials stored this year will be sent to the Shaofu, and the seasonal medicinal materials collected in winter will also be sent to the Imperial Medical Office. The money for the fruit groves of the villagers in Shanglinyuan has also been paid, and most of the winter fruits are supplied to the surrounding areas of Luoyang and also to Nanshi.

It is customary for Nangong to handle the goods. I wonder if your Excellency has any other instructions?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mu Qi spoke clearly and logically, and Liu Cang nodded to confirm that there was no problem.

There are also villagers in Shanglin Garden who plant fruit trees, have private property, and some help Liu Hong plant and care for them. Regardless of purchasing the fruits or paying the helpers, it is the queen's responsibility.

Later, Liu Hong was very self-aware and did not interfere with the selling of stolen goods. Liu Hong liked doing business, but he was not interested in this kind of bulk, cheap and troublesome business.

Speaking of which, the income from fruit and vegetable sales in Shanglinyuan all year round is not less than that of the Mulberry House. Liu Cang is really thankful that Liu Hong did not mess around in this aspect.

"In addition to these, the two palaces need to replace a batch of cubs. You can collect one or two when you hunt deer. The West Garden wants us to send ten donkeys there." Liu Cang had no objection, and Mu Qi continued.

Some cubs would be placed in various gardens of the palace to add vitality. Liu Hong did not like ferocious animals, so these cubs were mostly deer, sheep, puppies, white rabbits, and at most some minks and foxes.

Liu Hong especially liked the donkeys introduced from the Western Regions. The Western Garden was his amusement park. He rarely raised war horses, but mostly selected donkeys with good tempers. As for the more bad-tempered donkeys, he liked to send them to the river.

It’s considered a prosperous place, right?

"In addition, the elephants in Jianzhang Palace will be sent to the North Palace to serve as His Majesty's guard of honor. They are usually sent back after the new year. We also have to send people to raise and take care of them. As for hunting winter wolves, it is more troublesome and needs to be done in person.

make arrangements for."

After Mu Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Liu Cang's instructions.

"Haha, three thousand winter wolves? Why did His Majesty let me lead the army? Is he preparing a job for me?" Liu Cang laughed and shook his head, while Mu Qidan smiled.

"This pack of wolves is a nuisance to the people of Shanglin in the winter. Your Majesty can command the wolverines. Although hunting wolves is troublesome, it will definitely be easy for you to catch them." Mu Qi said with a smile.

"Oh, so many deer and wolves are needed at the same time. I will lead my troops to hunt today. If the hunters in the village are needed, we will inform you separately. Your Majesty wants elephants to serve as guard of honor. Do you still need tigers and leopards?" Liu Cang asked.

"Your Majesty is a pure and kind man, as he always says benevolence and filial piety. If you don't like tigers and leopards clearing the way, there is no need to prepare." Mu Qi shook his head, and Liu Cang glanced at him with contempt.

While talking, a young tiger cub lumbered up to Liu Cang. Mu Qi would be surprised every time he saw this tiger cub with snow-white fur.

Liu Cang picked up the tiger cub, held it in his arms, stroked the tiger cub, and said to Mu Qi.
