Chapter 11 Planting the Divine Willow, Palace Rules
"System, I love you!"
Ye Chen was excited. The SS-level reward was awesome!
With the accompanying divine willow planted, as long as he does not leave Fengming Palace, he will be absolutely safe!
With Saint-level strength, the enemy is looking for death if they come in!
As far as Ye Chen knows, a strong person at the level of a saint has not appeared for a long time. Even a strong person at the semi-saint level has not appeared for a very long time. The strongest person in the Tianyan Dynasty is a great emperor!
This emperor is a living fossil level figure.
It is not easy to walk in the world.
Under normal circumstances, a figure at the level of a God-Emperor is already at the peak of his combat power, and even the Great Emperor of National War will not be easily dispatched.
Unless one party is facing the danger of annihilation!
"The system is planted right here!"
Ye Chen found a place in the backyard. Fengming Palace had its own small garden with a medium-sized pond, and the scenery was pretty good.
Immediately, a small sapling appeared in Ye Chen's hand.
"Hey, you have to plant it yourself!"
Ye Chen dug a hole and planted the sapling. The sapling was only about a foot tall and looked extremely weak.
"Come here, bring a bucket of spiritual water that your Majesty has given me."
Ye Chen ordered.
Soon a maid delivered a bucket of spiritual water. This water came from a spiritual spring and had many advantages, including longevity and speeding up practice!
Ye Chen poured a bucket of spiritual water into the newly planted willow tree.
Suddenly, the little willow tree grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching a height of more than one meter in just half an hour.
The maids next to him were stunned.
That was the spiritual water rewarded by His Majesty. Ye Chen actually used it to water the tree, which was an ordinary willow tree.
What a luxury!
What a waste!
[Planting of associated sacred willow is completed. 】
The system's voice sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he couldn't just plant it casually, he had to let it grow bigger!
"This willow tree is my lucky tree. Please go down and don't touch it."
Ye Chen said to the maid next to him.
"Yes, Empress."
The two maids next to him nodded quickly.
They didn't have any strange expressions about Ye Chen calling himself me. On the other side of Yonghe Palace, they had already been with Ye Chen for a hundred days!
"Chunlan, how many people are there in the palace?"
Ye Chen asked.
It turned out that there were four most beautiful maids following the Yonghe Palace. Ye Chen gave them new names, Chun Lan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei.
They are all top school beauties in appearance.
The younger one is eighteen and the older one is only twenty.
Luo Hongyan asked them to be Ye Chen's personal maids. At least one of them must be by Ye Chen's side twenty-four hours a day.
At first, Ye Chen couldn't figure out what Luo Hongyan meant, so she was testing him?
Later it became clear that as his strength increased, Luo Hongyan should have asked the four of them to protect him.
Despite their young age, they all have Xinghai level cultivation!
If you put it outside, you will definitely look like a beautiful girl from heaven.
Chunlan quickly saluted and said: "Empress, there are now a total of 360 people in our Fengming Palace, but not all of them are in Fengming Palace. There are about 120 people permanently living in the palace."
"The rest are in other places, providing services for the operation of the entire Fengming Palace, the travel of the emperor and the empress, etc."
Ye Chen was startled, what a guy, hundreds of people serve one emperor and empress.
The richest man in his previous life did not receive such treatment at all!
"Chunlan, please tell me, if there are servants in Fengming Palace who do not behave well, they can be disciplined, but they are not allowed to be bullied at will. If they are found, they will be severely punished."
Ye Chen said seriously.
"Yes, Empress."
Chunlan nodded. She and Xia Zhu next to her had a strange look in their eyes. Ye Chengui was the emperor and he actually cared so much about his servants.
"What about the expenses in the mansion?"
Ye Chen asked.
He is the emperor and empress, and the expenses of Fengming Palace are under his control.
Xia Zhu said: "Empress, I understand this aspect quite clearly. Every month, the Household Office gives Xuehua 10,000 taels of silver."
"Fifty thousand taels of it will be used for you, the emperor and empress."
"Two thousand taels are the salary of the people in the government."
"Two thousand taels will be used for the rest of the government's expenses."
"The monthly balance of about one thousand taels is used as emergency expenses."
"In addition, His Majesty's reward for you, the Emperor and Empress, is extra. You can save all of it."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. A total of 10,000 taels were spent on him, and 5,000 taels were spent on him.
Hundreds of people are eating and drinking, and the total expenses including the government's expenses are only four thousand taels?
This evil old society!
As an emperor and empress, he feels quite happy like this, but he just wants to sign in and doesn't care much about eating and drinking. He doesn't need to spend so much!
"Xia Zhu, adjust yourself."
"I only need two thousand taels per month. The various expenditures in the mansion will increase by one thousand taels, mainly to improve the food for the servants in the mansion."
"I will go there for a meal from time to time every month."
"The salary will be increased by one thousand taels, and everyone's salary will be increased by 50% on the original basis."
"There is still a thousand taels left."
After Ye Chen said this, Chunlan and Xia Zhu were shocked. Ye Chen actually reduced his expenses by three-fifths.
Two thousand taels of it were spent on their servants.
"Empress, you can't do it!"
"Yes, Empress, this is against the rules."
Chunlan Xiazhu knelt down and said.
Ye Chen waved his hand: "There's nothing that can't be done. My monthly expenses at Yonghe Palace shouldn't be two thousand taels, right?"
Ye Chen still knew the price of goods in this world. One tael of snowflake silver was equivalent to about three thousand yuan!
Two thousand taels converted into RMB would be six million!
Xia Zhu said: "Empress, you were only the quasi-empress before, and your monthly expenses were about five hundred taels!"
Ye Chen was secretly surprised, he felt that he had enjoyed it very much before!
"Eating and drinking can be based on the previous standards, the other expenses of the empress will be higher, but two thousand taels should be enough."
"I am the boss in the harem, and my words are the rules."
"That's it!"
Ye Chen said lightly.
Chunlan and Xia Zhu were still very embarrassed.
Ye Chen said: "The original empress had a lot of expenses, mainly because there were many people in the harem, and concubines often came to the empress, and they had to entertain them, and they had to give gifts to each other, etc., all of which can be exempted here!"
"There won't be many trips out, and the cost of travel will also be greatly reduced!"
"Two thousand taels is definitely enough."
Chunlan and Xia Zhu nodded with bitter faces. Ye Chen is the empress, and they can't do anything about Ye Chen's insistence.
The news spread, and the whole Fengming Palace was full of joy.
Poor food, low salary, and oppression are the pain points of many servants in the palace. Ye Chen solved these three pain points in one go!
"The Empress is kind."
"Yes, the Empress is really good."
Ye Chen heard a lot of such discussions, and he was a little sad.
It's okay to call her the Empress, but she also added a Empress.
Alas!
Not long after, Luo Hongyan also got the news, and she showed surprise in her eyes.
"It's interesting that they gave away such a treasure as potatoes, and took the initiative to reduce their own expenses and increase the welfare of the servants."
Luo Hongyan whispered softly.
