The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 11 Personal Maid
The reason she has money is that it was given to her by her mother.
Tang Linger's mother was a concubine in the harem, whose status was second only to the queen and the imperial concubine. The concubine's mother's family was originally a merchant family, so it was normal for her to be rich.
Of course, the fact that she could sit on the position of Concubine Shu was closely related to her wealth.
Although surprised, Wen Liuli was soon attracted by the gold on the table.
Oh my god, I’ve never seen so much gold in my life. It must be a hundred taels, right?
If converted into grams, this plate would weigh five kilograms.
If we follow Blue Star's exchange rate, one gram is equal to five hundred yuan, so five kilograms is more than two million, right?
Uh...it doesn’t seem like much.
Not only on Blue Star, even in the world of immortality, the value of gold is far higher than that of silver. The exchange rate is as high as 1:15, which means that one tael of gold can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver. Tang Linger's investment is more than one thousand taels of silver.
"Consider this money as a loan from me. I will definitely return it to you in the future."
After putting away the large plate of gold ingots, Tang Tianyu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Now he didn't have to worry about money anymore.
Lao Liu is right. A penny can make a hero fall. For money, what does face matter?
Can having dignity help my wife to have enough food to eat?
If not, I would rather be shameless.
"No, I don't need that."
Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Linger quickly waved her hands. This was only in Prince Wu's Mansion. If it was in the Princess's Mansion, she wouldn't even blink an eye at a thousand taels, let alone a hundred taels.
When everyone heard what she said, they couldn't help but twitch their lips. My goodness, this is all you want out of a hundred taels of gold?
It's really a drought that's going to kill you and a flood that's going to kill you.
"By the way, Ling'er, aren't you in the other courtyard? Why are you here?"
"Oh yeah! I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."
After Tang Tianling's reminder, Tang Linger suddenly remembered that she came to Prince Wu's Mansion to see Tang Tianyu only for one reason, and the other reason was to find Tang Tianling to question him.
"You are such a good old Sixth Brother. You didn't even tell me that Fifth Brother was coming back. I was so worried for several days that I couldn't eat or drink."
"I...I just found out about this, too."
Hearing this, Tang Tianling almost laughed out loud, but he would never admit it, otherwise this girl would hold a grudge against him for several years because of this.
"You black-hearted maggot, do I look like a fool?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"Humph, I'll remember you. Don't come to me when you have no money in the future!"
"I……"
In desperation, Tang Tianling had to turn to Tang Tianyu for help.
But when he turned around, he saw that the couple was each holding a gold ingot and chewing it, completely ignoring what was happening on their side.
Well, you are ungrateful.
In the afternoon, Tang Tianling and Tang Ling'er said goodbye to Tang Tianyu and Tang Tianyu and returned to their own homes.
With money, everything will be much easier. After giving the money to Yunyin, Yunyin came back in the afternoon dragging a large carriage of supplies, most of which were daily necessities, and some food.
"Your Highness Prince Wen has servants in his mansion, why do you only have these few people here?"
Seeing Yun Yin and a group of guards busy carrying things back and forth, Wen Liuli couldn't help but frown.
I always felt like something was missing throughout the day. How come there isn't even a servant in such a huge palace?
It seems that these jobs are not done by the guards, right?
"It will be available tomorrow, and it will take time for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange for someone."
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs? Didn't they recruit them themselves?"
When she heard the word "Imperial Household Department", Wen Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly. It was obvious that as a poor student, she had no idea what the Imperial Household Department did.
In fact, all the servants in the prince's mansion are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you can't find them yourself.
Apart from the servants, it can even be said that the food, clothing and other expenses of the prince are all managed by the Imperial Household Department. It's just that the Imperial Household Department is unable to arrange it at the moment, which led to today's embarrassing situation of being out of money.
In fact, we just need to wait for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send people over, and all the necessary supplies will follow.
Of course, what the Ministry of Internal Affairs can manage are only the basics, a bit like minimum living allowance. If you want to live a more comfortable life, you still need to spend your own money.
And this money is the monthly salary you usually receive.
Of course, some princes would do some business to improve their lives. After all, their monthly salary was so little that it would not be enough for them to spend if they did not think of other ways.
This is also the reason why some princes would embezzle money.
"Oh my god, I used to think that you royals all had plenty of money to spend, but it turns out you're still just wage earners."
After listening to Tang Tianyu's explanation, Wen Liuli couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This is completely different from the royal life she imagined.
In her impression, the royal family members were all well-dressed and well-fed, and all of them were wealthy. Who would have known that among you, each one was poorer than the other.
"Salarymen, yeah. You can understand it that way."
Getting a monthly stipend to live on is just like getting a salary, right? It's just that this salary comes more easily than others.
In fact, it is not really easy to say that it is light. Being a prince is more painful than the 21 in the 996st century.
"Hey~ It seems that if you want to live a good life, you still have to work hard."
With a sigh, Wen Liuli began to think about ways to make money.
If this happened on Blue Star, Wen Liuli would definitely not be able to do business because she is not cut out for it.
But it’s different in the world of immortality. The culture here is so backward that you can make a fortune by making any small invention.
"Hey? Old White, what do you say, let's go sell paper?"
As Wen Liuli was thinking about it, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She had heard from Tang Tianyu before that paper was extremely expensive in the Eastern Wilderness and was something only princes and nobles could afford.
If I could sell paper in the world of immortality, I would make a fortune.
At this time, Wen Liuli seemed to have seen the scene of herself being overwhelmed by money.
"No, the court has very strict control over paper. It's fine to make it for your own use, but if I want to sell it, I'm afraid the ministers in the court will impeach me to death."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, but my father is. With so many people impeaching him, he will have to take measures. By then, not to mention selling paper, even your papermaking skills will be forced to spread."
"Forehead……"
After hearing what Tang Tianyu said, Wen Liuli immediately understood that it seemed that selling paper was no longer possible.
"Then let's sell salt. Didn't you say salt is a rare commodity? As long as we refine it, won't we have as much as we want?"
"That's even worse. The law has long stipulated that salt can only be sold by the government. No one else is allowed to sell it. Even if we know how to make salt, we can only make it for our own consumption."
"Um...what else do you have here?"
“Gold is quite rare.”
"Depend on!"
Wen Liuli was speechless. This wasn't acceptable and that wasn't acceptable. Others who traveled through time could rely on their abilities to invincibly defeat everyone, but why was I so timid after traveling through time?
Aren't you the King of Wu? Aren't you not afraid of even the Emperor? Then why are you so cowardly?
Of course, this is just a thought. Tang Tianyu is not afraid of Tang Zhentian, but he can't do whatever he wants. If he does that, what's the difference between him and a bandit?
Besides, apart from Tang Zhentian, there is another grand master in the palace.
If he had the Emperor Wu Sword in his hand, he would certainly be invincible, but now he has placed the Emperor Wu Sword in the far north to suppress evil spirits.
Even if we take a step back, it is impossible for him to fight with the Emperor.
Wen Liuli spent the whole night thinking about how to make money but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only fall asleep holding the gold ingot given by Tang Linger.
The next morning, Tang Tianyu and the other man got up early, and at this time, the servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs had also arrived at the palace.
There are quite a lot of servants here, dozens of them in total, because Tang Zhentian issued an order that all of Tang Tianyu's expenses should be distributed according to the share of the crown prince.
Because of this, the number of servants assigned to Prince Wu's Palace was much greater than that of other palaces.
Among these servants there was a chief official, that is, the official, and two stewards. In addition, there were more than ten people in the kitchen, three or four in the tea room, three or four in the garden, more than a dozen maids, and more than a dozen odd jobs.
As for the guards, the guards of Prince Wu's Mansion did not leave. They were still the group headed by Yun Yin.
Even though Wen Liuli was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw this huge lineup.
This is too extravagant. Does a royal palace need so many people?
"This old servant Wu Shen pays respect to His Majesty, Madam."
"Yes, Butler Wu. From now on, all matters in the palace will be handed over to you. If you have anything, just talk to Madam directly."
"Yes!"
It has to be said that Wu Shen is professional. After greeting Tang Tianyu and the others, he ordered his servants to get busy.
Tang Tianling had already sent people to clean up the house yesterday, but it was just a hasty job and it was barely habitable. There were still many places that had not been cleaned up, so these things were naturally left to Wu Shen to take care of.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Shen also asked Wen Liuli to choose a personal maid from among the many maids.
When Wen Liuli heard that there was someone serving her personally, she felt very uncomfortable at first. She was not a rich lady, so how could she be so delicate?
However, when she thought about how this was the case for all the nobles in ancient times, she felt relieved.
She also had a good eye for choosing people. After a period of careful selection, she set her eyes on a maid named Cuizhu.
Cuizhu's appearance was not particularly outstanding among the many maids. She was neither beautiful nor ugly. The reason why Wen Liuli chose her was because he was attracted by the calluses on her hands.
This is what she learned from watching TV before. When choosing people, you have to choose those who are diligent. Don't pick a lazy person, because you don't know who will serve whom.
As for how to choose the diligent one, it naturally depends on your hands.
Those with delicate skin and tender flesh and dressed up fancy are obviously not the ones that Wen Liuli would choose.
Although this Cuizhu did not look that outstanding, the first impression she gave to Wen Liuli was that this person was able to endure hardships.
People who can endure hardships are liked wherever they are, and Wen Liuli is no exception.
Cuizhu was also very surprised that Wen Liuli chose her.
