At the beginning of the Lin family, the Lin Jin brothers and sisters had no status, even if the Lin family had a good meal on the table, what was placed in front of the Lin Jin brothers and sisters would not be big fish and meat.
There is no maid to serve, naturally no one will serve them, they will eat whatever is in front of them, and the big fish and meat will be far away, and they can't stand up, so they naturally can't eat.
Therefore, Lin Jin and Lin Wei are not picky eaters, and neither brother nor sister is a person with a heavy appetite, but if they like to eat, they will eat more, which is also human nature.
Prunella grass is similar, but unlike Lin Jin, she does not reject any kind of food, and after the Hua family and the Yan family trained their cooking skills in their previous life, Prunella did not treat herself badly.
The Hua family treated her badly, but the food was prunella grass, and they ate leftovers, so they went to prunella grass to eat.
When I arrived at Yan's house, Yan's mother was in charge, but all the things I could do were Prunella vulgaris, and I wanted to buy good vegetables and delicious food in the money given by Yan's mother, and I tried not to be picked on by Yan's mother, so Prunella grass had to take a lot of effort.
"Drink another half bowl of porridge, eat and drink enough, and then you will have the strength to resist the pain."
After Lin Jin drank two bowls of porridge, Xia Kucao served him half a bowl.
Lin Jin didn't refuse, and after eating half a bowl of porridge, he automatically filled a bowl of chicken soup to drink, and kept giving prunella grass vegetables.
In the end, they ate the chicken soup, a large pot of porridge and pork ribs with sauce, and the greens.
Seeing that Lin Jin was sick and still had such an appetite, Prunella was also very happy, and after the meal, Prunella accompanied Lin Jin to read the account book.
Under Lin Jin's prompting, Xia Kucao also knew how to check the accounts here, and after looking at it, there were indeed some problems with the account books of the household department.
And it turns out that all the things in the palace are so expensive, and the more Xia Kucao looks at it, the more she asks, "Xianggong, the expenses in this palace are a lot of money." ” Lin Jin said: "No, an egg is more than ten or twenty taels." ” As soon as these words fell, Xia Kucao's eyes widened, the eggs outside were only a few cents, and the dozen or twenty taels in the palace were too scary.
"The Holy One doesn't know?"
Prunella can't help but be surprised, mainly because the price is too high, ridiculously high.
"I don't know, maybe the saint knows, maybe he doesn't know."
Lin Jin said and said: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the saint doesn't want to be too harsh when he thinks about it." ” "But it's obviously too greedy."
Xia Kucao looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she frowned, in addition to the expenditure in the palace was a large amount, there were also a lot of debts.
Many officials borrowed money from the household department and did not pay it back, and old accounts have been accumulating.
There is also a small part of the tax, which is obviously abnormal.
The saint has been rectifying the official style all these years, but he didn't expect that the big moth was in the household department, and the internal affairs office was also a big problem here.
This is obviously a deception, and Xia Kucao just thinks about how much of a sensation these accounts will cause as soon as they get out.
Lin Jin said: "It's like this in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that the household department was too much here, the saint would not let him check it, and His Royal Highness also wanted to take advantage of this to rectify the household department." ” Xia Kucao nodded, it really should be rectified, otherwise even if the Holy Lord moved those gold and silver mines back, he would not be able to fill them.
Those who are insatiable will not be able to stop there, and in the long run, the treasury will have to be emptied.
The emperor of a country, if the treasury has no money, what confidence does the emperor have?
"Hubu Shangshu is the saint's cousin, and there are two squires in the household, and the other is the nephew of the Yuan Hou, who used to be very valued by the saints."
As soon as Lin Jin's words came out, Xia Kucao understood, and also knew that the saint had always attached great importance to the Household Department Shangshu, otherwise he would not have wanted to check the Household Department until now.
The Holy Mother Family is the Marquis of Jinyi, and the Queen Mother's family is the Marquis of An, and she is not a duke, but it can also be seen that the Holy Mother is also impartial to the Queen Mother and both sides of the Mother Family.
However, the mother family of the Empress Yuan was named Cheng'en Gong, and no one would say anything if the saint was so sealed.
The saint's cousin is also competitive, born as a jinshi, and was also promoted by the saint to take charge of the household.
And the queen mother's family is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and there are brocade clothes and marquis from the front and back palaces.
"From this point of view, the Queen Mother's family is safe."
And the queen of Yuan's mother's family and the Holy Mother Family, Xia Kucao knows that there is a marriage, but now it seems that the two families are digging the corner of the holy wall.
"The Jiang family is not as confident as those two families."
Lin Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said.
"Also, after the saint has not been established for many years, it is enough for the people of the queen's mother family to be proud, and the household department Shangshu was valued by the saint before, and he married the queen's mother's family, promoted the left waiter, and won over the queen's mother's family, they have the courage."
Xia Kucao said quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that the silver they fought and the gold and silver brought back from the mine were all greedy by the big moths, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
The Holy Mother Clan and the Empress Yuan Clan have always been very proud, and after the Lin family and the Jiang family had dealings, they were not very close to the Lin family.
Even if Lin Jin has now become Xin Rongbo, the two descendants don't take the Lin family very seriously, so they don't have much contact, and they don't know much about Prunella.
"Next time, don't visit other people's study alone at night, of course, if you go, you can find me, I have space, at least I can save my life."
Xia Kucao said to Lin Jin, feeling that this kind of thing would be handed over to the secret guard, otherwise it would be best for her to go.
"Listen to the lady."
Lin Jin bowed his head slightly, but in his heart he would never let Xia Kucao take this risk.
Although there is space for prunella, but horses have hooves, and space is not omnipotent.
Thinking of the study of Shangshu Jinyihou of the Household Department last night, but did not get any useful one, Lin Jin regretted slightly.
