Chapter 1277 Xiangyun’s thoughts (1)

News of the attack on Xiangyun reached the palace in the morning. At that time, Queen Mu was checking the list of maids who had been released from the palace and the replacement salaries for them. She was shocked when she heard about the incident. She was relieved after learning that Xiangyun was fine. , immediately sent Liu Xi out of the palace to find out what was going on, and quietly sent Chang Mei out to protect Xiangyun secretly.

She is very busy now and cannot go out to visit Xiangyun in person. The matter of releasing the palace maid has been decided. The maids were only leaving for these few days, and Caiwei was busy checking the number of people leaving everywhere, calculating the compensation that should be paid to them, and adjusting and mobilizing the remaining manpower to prevent any shortage of manpower.

When the maids heard that they could leave the palace, and that the queen had repaid them the salary they had earned from working in the palace over the years, they felt like they were reborn. They all expressed their gratitude with their hands, and rushed to tell each other, and everyone made an appointment to come to the imperial study room. Outside, they were kowtowing to Cai Wei. Among these palace maids, there were young and graceful girls, old and pearly old girls, and even octogenarian old women who were struggling. They all knelt in front of the imperial study room, kowtowing to the queen devoutly, shedding tears. Thank you to the Queen.

When Caiwei heard that everyone was coming, she held Huanqiu's hand and walked out. She gently asked everyone to get up and said, "Although it is my suggestion to let everyone out this time, it is the emperor's force in the court." Against all opinions, we have worked hard to promote it. I hope that everyone can live a good life after returning and not let down the emperor's care for everyone. In addition, if the palace maids are old and have no one at home, they can take care of themselves in local nursing homes. If you don't want to Those who are tired from traveling can also take care of themselves in the nursing home in the capital. The palace will also buy a piece of land as a cemetery. From now on, all the maids and eunuchs who die in the palace can have their bodies wrapped in coffins and be laid to rest!"

"Thank you, the Empress, the Empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old----"

After hearing the Queen's words, everyone burst into tears of gratitude. They had nothing to repay the Queen, so they had to kowtow to the Queen vigorously. Many people's heads turned red!

When Nangong Yi came back, he happened to see this scene and said with some emotion: "With her own efforts, she has benefited so many people. She is indeed a most virtuous and kind person!"

Caiwei said: "Doing more good deeds and benefiting others is also a way of accumulating blessings for yourself. As the king of a country, the emperor should do this even more. Often your small actions can benefit many people, and often it can benefit a lot of people." A big move can bring disaster to many people, so the emperor must save the people first, rectify himself first, give more blessings and do less killing, so that our Great Jin Kingdom can be stable for a long time!"

Nangong Yi was convinced by what he said. He nodded and said, "What you said is correct. I will note it down for my husband."

After the maids dispersed, Nangong Yi and Caiwei led each other into the imperial study room and walked to the east room. Nangong Yi saw the account books and abacus placed on the Kang table, casually picked up the account book and looked at it, and said with a smile: "My wife, you want to repay these palace ladies who have left the palace? This is a big expense. Some of the palace ladies are already sixty or seventy years old. After staying in the palace for most of their lives, each person can get four to five hundred taels. , the more than 6,000 maids who were released, plus the cost of the men, carriages and horses to send them back, cannot be paid without hundreds of thousands of silver."

Caiwei said nonchalantly: "I initiated this matter. I'm very grateful that you can help me facilitate this matter. Therefore, all the money to compensate the palace maids will be paid by me, saving money from the treasury." Some people are making irresponsible remarks to make things difficult for you!"

Nangong Yi said with a smile: "My wife is indeed rich and powerful. She took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver without blinking an eye. It really makes me want to hug you more and more!"
