Chapter 2379 Complaint

The empress and many princes, concubines, concubines and concubines are all served by the inner minister and the palace in the palace. There are Ye Ting Bureau, Gong Wei Bureau, Xi Guan Bureau, Nei Serv Bureau and Nei Fu Bureau; Dianzhong Province is Shang Shi, Shang Yao, Shang Yi, Shang She, AM Cheng and Shang Nian Bureau.

These two provinces are all run by internal officials. Internal officials, either internal servants or female officials, are rarely in charge of external ministers.

However, there is still a chief administrator in these two provinces. The current chief administrator is Lord Luo. He is in charge of the royal family, or the emperor's private property.

However, he only took his subordinates to take care of external affairs, such as the operation of shops and mines in Huangzhuang and the emperor. He was extremely busy, and basically the two provinces were autonomous.

The officials who have served as the chief general are very self-aware and dare not get too involved in the affairs of the two provinces, after all, it is the emperor's family affairs.

Moreover, the chief steward is not only the emperor's subject, but also the queen's subordinate.

Yes, in addition to obeying the emperor, Lord Luo also obeys the queen. The queen also has the power to appoint and dismiss the chief executive of the internal library and handle the affairs of the internal library.

So after taking office, Mr. Luo has been conscientiously taking care of these industries of the empress. Occasionally, he goes home with some things. The communication with the two provinces is nothing more than asking for money and materials. He will give money and materials after approval.

Of course, he didn't have to do this by himself, and most of the chores were left to Xin Chun.

The Huangzhuang near the capital was often visited by the emperor and the princes, so Luo Dacai handed over the two Huangzhuang in the capital to the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Unexpectedly, things that are convenient for you, me, and him ended up like this.

Lord Luo is still kneeling in the palace.

Gu Zhong came in with a cup of tea, carefully placed it in the emperor's hand, and whispered, "Your Majesty, how about you taste today's tea?"

The emperor took a sip and took a sip of tea, and the breath in his chest became much smoother. Then he looked at Lord Luo, who was still kneeling beside him, and snorted: "Get up."

Master Luo breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and stood with his head lowered.

The emperor said: "I have always believed in you, and this is why I handed everything over to you. The household department shouted that it was short, and the internal treasury also called that it was short. In the end, it was not me, but you!"

The emperor was angry when he talked about this, and couldn't help but put the teacup on the table heavily.

Lord Luo knelt down again and quickly confessed his guilt.

The emperor sneered and said: "Liu Huibei is still ordinary, but he is a good hand in accounting. You go and hand over all the accounts of the inner minister and the palace of the palace to him, and the quick calculation of your inner treasury and the household department will work together. I would like to see how my inner treasurer is getting poorer every day."

Lord Luo replied respectfully, then got up and slowly retreated.

The emperor looked at Gu Zhong and said, "Follow you. If the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Department of the Palace are not obedient, you will beat them."

Gu Zhong responded with a smile, bowed and stepped back.

Lord Luo stood outside waiting for him, the two of them walked out together, and when they were far away, the breath in Lord Luo's chest came out.

Unlike foreign ministers like Wei Zhi, Lord Luo often dealt with Gu Zhong, and they knew each other very well, so he glanced at him and said indifferently: "I heard that before Your Majesty got angry, Gu was the only servant at his side?"

Gu Zhong sighed and said, "Master Luo, this matter is indeed my fault, and I didn't expect His Majesty to be so angry."

Lord Luo frowned, "What did you really say to Your Majesty?"

Gu Zhong hurriedly said: "Lord Luo listen to our family's explanation first, I'm not complaining, oh, it's too late to say this now, I'm also very panicked in my heart, and I can't feel guilty."

Lord Luo also listened to this. Who knows if he is really guilty?

It is not uncommon for these servants to die, how much conscience can they have?

Now Lord Luo just wants to know why the emperor is so arrogant.

Gu Zhong said softly: "It's me who talks too much. Your Majesty is in a good mood this morning. Zhezi has arranged things early. If you have nothing to do, your Majesty just wants to go out for a walk."

"It's just that Lord Luo also knows that because Lord Wei has impeached the Zhen Beast Garden, His Majesty did not dare to go there, but the wind is strong outside, and the cold spring wind blows, which is even tighter than the cold wind in winter, before Your Majesty. It's only been two days since I got cold, how dare I let him go out?"

Lord Luo: "Talk about the key points."

Gu Zhong said with a guilty face: "In order not to let Your Majesty go out to air, I will tell His Majesty some interesting things outside. Isn't this about Zhou Xiaotai?"

Lord Luo: "Master Zhou Manzhou?"

"Exactly."

Lord Luo: "What does this have to do with her?"

"It doesn't matter," Gu Zhong said with a gloomy expression: "It's just that Your Majesty likes Lord Zhou, so I just found some interesting stories about Lord Zhou to tell His Majesty. I remember Lord Zhou mentioned before that she would run the business since she was a child, so she was young. At a young age, the Zhou family and the Bai family set aside a small village for her and Bai County's son-in-law to take care of together, and the village not only grew wheat and rice, but also raised a lot of chickens and ducks."

"The chickens lay so many eggs that the price of two eggs in the county seat can be raised to one penny and one egg, and later it was two cents and three eggs. I heard that the eggs in their county are now reduced to one penny and two eggs. The eggs are gone." Gu Zhong sighed: "Who would have known it was so coincidental, at that time, there was a letter asking for funding in the Xiaoyuan of the Taiyuan Hospital on His Majesty's desk. I heard that the Ministry of Household and the Neiku allocated the first money to them. The money is spent very quickly, and there are still many people entering the Huangzhuang, and the cost is even greater, so..."

Gu Zhong raised his head and looked at Lord Luo sympathetically, "Your Majesty should have long known why His Majesty was angry? Not only are the prices of the items purchased by Huangzhuang from the Imperial Physician's Office too high, but the items purchased in the palace are also..."

Lord Luo moved his mouth and said after a while: "Of course I know that the hands and feet of the people under my hands are not very clean, but if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the things in the palace should be the best, and the prices are higher than outside. "

Master Luo said with a headache: "Just these chickens, ducks, eggs, meat and vegetables, even if they are twice as high, how much money can they get?"

Gu Zhong smiled and said: "This is not only twice as high, but three times as much. I heard that the eggs on the market are only two cents apiece, but the eggs bought by the purchasing manager are six cents apiece. How many eggs does the entire palace consume every day? There is a lot of money accumulated every day."

He said, "If they hadn't gone too far, His Majesty wouldn't have been so cruel."

Lord Luo frowned, "I don't want to interfere with the purchases in the palace. It has always been done by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the internal library only allocates money..."

Gu Zhong said indifferently: "Master Xin, who is under Master Luo, has been doing this all the time. I heard that since Tong Nei became sick, Master Xin has always been in charge of purchasing matters."

When Lord Luo heard this, he immediately stopped talking. It is a taboo to interfere in the affairs of the palace. Even the well-known chief of the internal library has to avoid him. Where did Xin Chun have the courage to intervene?
