Chapter 1349 Inspiration from Brother Nine (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Shu Shu quit the post and left the matter behind.
She has no intention of getting involved in the talent show.
As a result, I couldn't avoid it, and Mrs. Ma Qi posted a message the next day.
This is Brother Jiu's mistress.
Shu Shu looked at the post and hesitated.
She knew that Fucha Gege, if nothing unexpected happened, would be the Twelve Fortunes in the future.
Mrs. Ma Qi most likely asked for help for her daughter's stay in the palace.
She was a young girl and she was pampered, so it was normal for Eni to be worried.
However, Shu Shu had just rejected his relatives, and he did not even intend to take care of his niece. If he accepted the request from the Fucha family to take care of Fucha Gege, it would be a bit wrong to put it all together.
Seems snobbish and easily criticized.
Shu Shu directly handed the post to Brother Ninth and said: "Let me go. I shouldn't have waited for my wife to come to my door. She is my junior sister. I will go back and say hello to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Can I take care of you or not?"
some."
Brother Jiu was idle and said: "I have forgotten this. The teacher's princess is indeed on the list of staying in the palace. I don't want to ignore it. I should go there directly..."
At this point, he was surprised and said: "Huh? The teacher didn't ask for grace to put down his sign?"
He had already seen the list, but at that time he was paying attention to the two princesses of the Dong E family and didn't pay attention to the others.
Shu Shu said: "The rules and education of the Fucha family are the best, and the emperor must have taken a liking to them."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but frown and said: "Is this chosen for Thirteen? To make up for the shortcomings of Thirteen's wife, isn't this too partial?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu, no spoilers.
This marriage is truly surprising.
No matter who listens, they will think that he is the person chosen for the Thirteenth Prince. Who said that the Thirteenth Prince has attained the Sacred Heart and is the beloved little son?
As for the twelfth elder brother, I can’t easily remember him.
You must know that Kangxi loved to take his sons on trips, and the elder brothers above him basically all became his retinue when they were in their teens.
As for the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, they were later, but they were still before they became adults.
Needless to say, the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers below started to follow him on tours when they reached the age of studying in the study room.
Only the twelfth brother, who is seventeen this year and has been a adult for two years, has not gone out with him yet.
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "Among the beautiful girls this time, the one from the teacher's family has the highest status, and the rest are the minister, minister, commander-in-chief, champion and so on."
The good ones are for the Thirteenth Brother, and the eldest brother’s successor, Fujin, and then there are Prince Kang and Prince Shuncheng, so where can the good ones be left?
Although they are both younger brothers and have a good relationship with the thirteenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother still feels a little distressed when he thinks of the twelfth elder brother.
He understands why people tend to pity the weak easily, and he really can't tolerate it.
Don't ask for favoritism, just ask for basic fairness.
He seemed to think of himself and his tenth brother in his early years.
Shu Shu doesn’t mean to give any spoilers.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything else, took the post and went directly to Fucha's house...

Bazhou, Yuanjiakou.
The Holy Driver and his entourage boarded the royal boat from here this morning, walked on the waterway, and inspected the Yongding River.
Kangxi took the prince and the thirteenth elder brother in the first royal boat, and the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother were in the second backup boat.
There was heavy snow last winter, so we need to be prepared for spring floods this year.
On both sides of the river, in addition to building dams, there are also some gates for flood discharge.
Kangxi took the prince and his thirteenth brother to watch from the bow of the boat and told them about the changes in the Yongding River in recent years.
In the early years, river engineering mainly focused on regulating the Yellow River, but only in recent years has it taken action to regulate the Yongding River.
The Thirteenth Elder Brother has also patrolled the Yongding River several times in the past two years. He has already seen these changes. The last time the prince patrolled the Yongding River was thirty-two years ago.
At that time, everyone from the eldest elder brother to the eighth elder brother were with him, and the management of the Yongding River had not yet begun.
At that time, the river embankments along the way looked very ugly.
Looking at it now, it looks much better, and a lot of willows have been planted.
The prince said: "Congratulations to Khan Amma, the Yongding River fortifications are almost completed, and the capital will be protected from floods for twenty years."
Otherwise, the capital city would be flooded, which would be a very embarrassing situation and the court would be in disgrace.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Year by year, no matter how much money is thrown in, it will naturally look good on the face. I don't ask for twenty years, I only ask for ten years of stability. Even if they succeed."
The thirteenth elder brother was nearby and didn't talk much, but he was thinking about the account of the Ministry of Revenue's allocation to the river.
Each stroke sounds scary.
After one year, it will be enough for several princes to open mansions.
It would be too hateful if the money was spent in real terms, or if it was corrupted.
The prince also thought about the official culture and corruption.
But if the water is clear, there will be no fish.
As long as there are not too many people who are greedy for ink, no one except the censor will pay special attention to this.
He just remembered how the ninth elder brother used cinders to build roads in the imperial city, and said: "Khan Ama, the southern city is flooded every year, mainly because of the low-lying terrain. Last winter, the ninth elder brother asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use cinders to build roads in the imperial city.
Building the road not only disposed of the cinders in the palace, but also smoothed the road, which was killing two birds with one stone. If the Shuntian Prefecture was in charge of digging canals in Nancheng, and the excavated earth would be used to level the depressions, then the water in Nancheng would be unobstructed, and the gentry and common people would not have to worry about it.
To relieve the suffering of waterlogging."
After Kangxi heard this, he took it more seriously and said, "This method is appropriate. Please write down a detailed explanation later and I will take a look."
Nancheng is flooded every year during the rainy season. From June to the end of July, it is not only inconvenient for people to travel, but also the smell is overwhelming, which can easily induce epidemics.
What's more, due to poor drainage, houses collapse and civilians are injured and killed.
After hearing this, the prince said: "Then, after my son returns to Beijing, he will check the ditches in Nancheng before writing."
Kangxi praised: "This is better, the data is detailed, and it is targeted, so you don't have to do things behind closed doors."
The father and son were in agreement.
Brother Thirteen was standing by, but he was surprised in his heart.
He was eleven years younger than the prince. When he entered the study room, the prince had already left the study room.
Having been brothers for more than ten years, this was the first time he had interacted with the prince except for the previous meetings during New Years and holidays.
At first I only thought that the prince's brother was noble and arrogant, but now he seems to be quite down-to-earth and can draw inferences from one instance to another.
The key is that he doesn't bully others, unlike the third elder brother, who always belittles others whenever he opens his mouth.
The prince seems to be standing on a high ground, recognizing the strengths of others and willing to accept and absorb the strengths of others.
But he did stand high.
The prince's self-cultivation is better than imagined.
The thirteenth elder brother all thought so, let alone Kangxi.
Kangxi was also very satisfied with the prince's reaction.
The prince is noble and this is what he should be. He is great when he is tolerant.
The prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and the prince of a country must be tolerant and magnanimous...
To govern a country is to govern people.
The best way to employ people is to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
On the backup royal boat at the back, the eldest brother and the fourth brother were also looking at the river embankment.
The two brothers are old partners. In the past few years, they have accompanied the Holy Emperor when he patrolled the Yongding River.
Brother Si looked at the gate beside the embankment. The beach outside the gate is the flood discharge area.
Some of those lands are still enclosed private fields, and there are currently no taxes on them.
In fact, everyone knows that this kind of flood discharge area will not be used once in three or five years.
When there is no flood discharge, at least most of the land can be cultivated. This part of the land is not in the hands of the people, and the government has no land tax to collect. So in whose hands is this land?
Local squire.
The red deeded land in these people's names is not taxable, and with the addition of these hidden fields, they have enriched themselves.
The imperial court lost its tax money, and local people lost their land and became tenant farmers.
The fourth elder brother felt uncomfortable when he thought of this.
The eldest brother was also feeling uncomfortable. He and the fourth brother pointed to the embankment next to him and said: "I remember that this project took two years. Is that work? It's just a nest! If it's the same as last year,
We recruit people from the Eight Banners to build embankments in March and April, but the money for the river work is settled on a monthly basis. You think these bastards are not deliberately dilly-dallying!"
Fourth elder brother also knows this shortcoming.
If it's just to get more money from river workers, the most despicable thing is to cut corners and embezzle money from materials.
He looked at the eldest brother, and both brothers discovered the shortcomings.
But the lid couldn't be lifted, and the emperor's father was not confused. What they could see, the emperor's father naturally saw too.
It's just that there are many people involved in the river, so it's difficult to move lightly.
The fourth elder brother said: "The imperial censor is impeaching and impeaching, always against the superiors and not the subordinates, but the subordinates also need supervision."
The eldest brother snorted coldly: "It's so satisfying to give too much money. It's become a habit to reach out."
The fourth elder brother did not speak any more.
The Ministry of Accounts is like a big accountant. It only obeys orders and has no qualifications to intercept appropriations.
Hedao Yamen is indeed used to the supply of millions of silver every year.
The censor stared at the top leader. Every time he was impeached, the thunder was loud and the rain was light.
The moths down there are like nests, and they have really become officials.
After finding a way in, he got so greedy that he ran away, leaving behind a pile of bad debts.
The behavior of these people is similar to that of the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Holding one hundred taels of silver, I wish I could have taken ninety taels of silver and left the remaining ten taels for errands, to deceive superiors and deceive others.
Now the Imperial Household Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs seems to have an additional audit task.
If something is wrong in the audit, it will be rejected and the accounts will be re-calculated, and the accounts will not be cleared.
The Hedao Yamen will not intervene. If you find an opportunity in the future, you can try it in the household department. It is best to make changes like a gentle breeze and drizzle.
It doesn't affect stability and can actually work.
It was such a coincidence that the fourth elder brother and the prince actually thought of going together.
Both of them got different inspirations from Ninth Prince's actions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they planned to absorb and improve.
The eldest brother had already looked from both sides of the river to the boat ahead, and said: "The third brother should cry this time. The Khan Ama is going to give the prince thirteen orders."
The fourth elder brother remembered the accusation the prince had made against the third elder brother in front of the emperor that day. At that point, there was no way to live in harmony.
The thirteenth elder brother is the same as the third elder brother, both civil and military, without any shortcomings.
When it comes to being practical, Brother Thirteen is even better.
It is also a good opportunity for the Thirteenth Prince to be the Prince's arm.
The fourth elder brother was happy for the thirteenth elder brother, but also felt a little pity...
