The next day, Xiao Chun came to mention the matter of the annual reward given by Ersuo.
It is different from the previous silver reward.
This time is the New Year. On the first day of the lunar month, people have to kowtow to each other, and when they receive silver, they have to style it into patterned silver locks.
Statistics need to be made in advance.
We need to make more wealthy people, and reward them one by one in the imperial dining room and the various places in the Ministry of Internal Affairs where they interact with my elder brother.
People outside have external examples, so just follow the example from before.
In both houses, Shu Shu has changed her past rules.
The rule in the past was to reward people according to their levels.
The higher the level, the richer the silver reward.
Now, adjustments have been made to that one.
Based on your performance in the past six months, let me give you a round of points first.
The four people in charge of the assessment are Manager Cui, Li Yin, Aunt Qi, and Xiao Chun.
The four of them stayed behind for the past few months and saw it most clearly.
Everyone's job is rated third grade.
Excellent, average, bad.
The other one is those who work extra, which is considered as overtime work.
For example, follow those who fetch water in summer, and follow those who sweep snow in winter.
The heat this summer was unbearable, and the second institute had to splash water several times throughout the day to cool down.
The well on the A Ge Suo side is right next to Wu Suo. There is a well pavilion with three wells inside.
The water for the five yards is all carried from there.
When there is a lot of water in the summer, in addition to those on duty, many people will follow to carry water.
It's pretty much the same after winter comes. This year there's a lot of snow and it's continuous.
In addition to the sweepers, there are also some people with spare hands who also sweep the snow.
There are also those who follow Shu Shu and Jiu Age's northern tour, which will be counted as overtime.
The performance of these people will be judged by He Yuzhu and Walnut.
It is also divided into three categories: excellent, average and inferior.
The annual reward is divided into several levels according to each person's rating.
That is, the more you work, the more you get, and the less you work, the less you get.
After talking about this, Xiaotang talked about the preparations for "luck, longevity and happiness".
There is no reason for the name "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", it sounds weird when spoken directly, so Shu Shu took it as a reference to another name of this dish.
In the past two days, I soaked sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins, fish maw and other dry goods, and yesterday I also picked up Huadiao wine.
Just for that jar.
I asked someone to make the necessary chicken soup early this morning.
Buddha jumps over the wall for about three hours.
Shu Shu was worried about eating with Brother Jiu, so she planned to save it for a later time.
From the looks of it, we need to prepare for it in the morning.
All kinds of ingredients, half seafood, half mountain delicacies, have been prepared.
Xiaotang came over and asked how many servings to make.
The ingredients were abundantly prepared, and Huadiao wine jars weighed two pounds each, so I took ten of them directly.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Let's do it. Then you can try it too."
With that said, He Yuzhu came back.
The reward has arrived.
"When the master got the news, he sent his servant to the household department to pay the department check!"
With this, you can pay money directly at the household department.
Shu Shu looked at the amount, five thousand taels, and was satisfied.
Not too little.
But thinking of the little vanity of the ninth prince, she couldn't help but ask: "How many other princes are there?"
He Yuzhu bowed and said: "It's all the same, follow the rules of the county and king."
Shu Shu somewhat understood why Brother Jiu couldn't wait to ask someone to pay him out.
In order to repair the house, he had been looking forward to it day and night, so he must go to Qianqing Palace right now.
This was because I was unsure, and I was afraid of offending the emperor and taking back the reward, so I accepted it first.
He Yuzhu took a few other orders and said: "These are the annual gifts from several government offices... It's a coincidence that they all arrived..."
This is the annual ceremony of the three queens’ families, namely the Hesheli family, the Niu Hulu family, and the Tong family.
"Which company came in first in previous years?"
Shu Shu asked curiously.
He Yuzhu said: "The Tong family, then the Hesheli family, and finally the Niu Hulu family..."
Shu Shu is not surprised.
The Tong family is still the emperor's uncle's family, dual national relatives, what's the difference?
Shu Shu looked at it briefly.
The Tong family has four pieces of Hangzhou silk, four pieces of Jiang silk, four pieces of Yun brocade, four pieces of colorful satin, an inkstone, a box of Hu pens, a pair of silk gold sachets, and eight pairs of purses.
Without the silver seal, I don't think those eight pairs of wallets will be empty.
When Xiaochun and Walnut were counted, sure enough, there was gold and silver in Ruyi's purse.
Each purse contains a pair of gold Ruyi and a pair of silver Ruyi.
One pair of gold Ruyi is two taels, and one pair of silver Ruyi is ten taels.
Eight pairs of purses are thirty-two taels of gold and one hundred and sixty taels of silver.
When arriving at Hesheli's house, there are also eight rituals.
The materials are even rarer: four pieces of pomegranate damask, four pieces of brocade, four pieces of mysterious satin, four pieces of gold damask, a handle with three inlays, a box of vermillion ingots, a pair of golden toads, and six pairs of gold purses.
One golden toad is sixteen taels, two is thirty-two taels.
There are golden peanuts in the purse, one pair and two liang.
There are twelve purses in total, which is twenty-four taels.
The Hesheli family seemed to have given way to the Tong family, but this generous spending put them ahead of the Tong family.
Xiaochun and Walnut both took care when sorting it out.
In fact, materials in the Hesheli family are very valuable. Although there are a few items in Shu Shu's dowry, they are all considered to be low-end goodies.
Shu Shu's eyes fell on the things, her smile was a little weak, and she asked He Yuzhu: "Do you still remember the gifts given by these families in the past years?"
He Yuzhu nodded and said: "It's just the study room and the purse. There are more materials this year, so they should be for Fujin..."
Shu Shu lowered her head and looked at Niu Hulu's list again.
Four pieces of Sichuan brocade, four pieces of python satin, two pieces of black fox skin, two rolls of mink skin, a pair of sapphire pen holders, a pair of sapphire paperweights, a pair of red gold and longevity, and six pairs of purses.
That Jin Ruyi is not like a golden toad. It is only as big as a child's fist, half as long as an adult's arm, and weighs several golden toads.
When this one comes down, the gift is heavier than the gifts from the previous two families.
The result is a pair.
Including the gold coins in the purse, it is more than three hundred taels of gold.
He Yuzhu said in surprise: "It was not like this in previous years. The Hesheli family and the Niu Hulu family both paid more attention to the rituals this year..."
Shu Shu put down the list of Niu Hulu's family with a half-smile.
This is not only a new year's gift, but also an apology.
Yao Zixiao comes from the Niu Hulu family.
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
Not to mention that the Niu Hulu family sent people into the palace, but Mrs. Niu Hulu stirred up trouble and plotted against the prince's backyard. This was a crime.
But she is not only the princess, the mother of all the children of Alinga, but also the sister of Concubine De.
It must be insured.
How to protect it?
With the witness of Yao Zixiao, this matter cannot be smoothed over with empty words.
Most likely it was the one who "substituted daughter for mother" and pushed the matter onto the eldest daughter.
For a fourteen-year-old Princess to cause trouble for her marriage, the jealousy of some of her daughter's families is much lighter than for Mrs. Aling'a to interfere in court affairs.
As for the gifts given to the Hesheli family, they were all tribute.
If Shu Shu wants to be bright and wears something bright, what will others think?
It's a bit of a flattery.
Quite interesting.
He Yuzhu did not leave immediately, but passed on the words of Brother Jiu.
Ask her to prepare an extra new dish and serve it today.
Brother Ninth plans to go to see His Majesty Qianqing Palace before coming back in the afternoon...
Half a day passed in a hurry before Brother Jiu put down his pen.
Because the yamen seal is on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, many official duties have to be completed in advance, and these two days have become a bit busy.
On Brother Ninth's desk, there are drawings of the Prince's Palace and Baylor's Palace.
He thought about it, found a copy of Beizi's, rolled it up together, and took it to Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi felt proud when he heard Liang Jiugong's report.
Although I was very annoyed before and didn't like Brother Nine coming over to chat about trivial matters, but after not seeing each other for half a month, I still miss him a little bit.
Too petty and not generous enough.
Looking at this posture, if I hadn't been rewarded with silver, I wouldn't have come to the imperial court.
Thinking like this, Kangxi became annoyed again and regretted following his heart.
Kangxi drooped his face and said, "Let him in!"
Brother Jiu came in, his face full of respect: "Khan Ama, my son is here to thank you!"
After saying that, he knelt down in a polite manner and kowtowed.
This clan award is not a general reward, but a reward for clan members who have made meritorious service in conquering Galdan.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were not close to each other at all, but they were listed among them for their merits in supervising the army rations.
This is to subsidize his son.
The ninth elder brother is indeed poor here, and the tenth elder brother is getting married soon, and will have to spend a lot of money in the future.
Kangxi's expression softened a little, and he saw clearly what was in Brother Jiu's hand, and snorted coldly: "What's wrong with not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing? I don't see you coming here, so you won't have to worry about anything again, right?"
He was very moved when he thought of Cao Yinti's woolen weaving farm.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of silver everywhere. In the past, one thousand penny could be exchanged for one tael of silver, but now it is less than seven cents.
If we really follow Brother Jiu's plan, we can export the materials from Guangzhou Customs and exchange them for foreign silver, which can solve the silver shortage of the imperial court.
He brought a bit of expectation.
Brother Jiu didn't surprise him and actually took out a tweed plan.
Not only did we set up a weaving factory in Jiangning, we also set up cashmere and wool purchasing points in various parts of Mongolia.
This is Shu Shu's opinion.
When it comes to vassal territory, it is better to treat everyone equally.
You can't explain it to each tribe, because they collect cashmere, not wool, so some tribes have purchasing points and some don't.
It's better to set them all up and buy them all together. Then no one can make a mistake. Wool can also be used to make carpets and the like.
Because of the price difference between cashmere and wool, more tribes will raise goats.
Seriously speaking, goats are grassland killers.
Over time, the grassland will become desert.
At that time, the imperial court will just order "captive breeding and house feeding".
Brother Jiu was very happy, saying that the greatest role of goats in replacing sheep was that the pastures would be reduced and it would promote the Mongols to settle down in wasteland.
There will be more and more tribes like the Haraqin that combine agriculture and animal husbandry, and the Mongolian people's attachment to the imperial court will become deeper and deeper.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth with admiration.
What Cao Yin said is true. Brother Jiu is indeed good. Anyone who has anything to do with the economy seems to have a spiritual orifice.
But seeing Brother Ninth being so proud, Kangxi swallowed back his compliments and frowned: "The medicine stall was not opened before, but this is another one! After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Royal Ministry of Internal Affairs, 豼
Since we are in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we should put official duties first, instead of thinking about doing business all day long and taking advantage of the opportunity to make money!"
By the end, he was stern.
Brother Ninth looked aggrieved and immediately said: "Who said it was my son's business? Isn't this a business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?! It is managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and supervised by the Academy of Domain Affairs. My son struggled to figure it out for half a month.
, the plan of the weaving field was made comprehensively, in order to increase the income of Khan Ama’s internal treasury!”
Kangxi had more doubts in his eyes and looked at his ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu is right and strict in his words, and there is no hypocrisy.
Kangxi coughed twice and said: "There is a precedent of selling medicine, so I naturally thought that you were responsible for this alone! It's not that I am stingy. This matter requires sending personnel to station in various Mongolian ministries. It involves too much and should not be done privately...
"
Brother Jiu generously handed over the plan: "There is no small matter involved in the feudal clan. My son has been on duty for several months and he still doesn't know about this?! But if the organizer gets it, he can just take over the business of selling medicine."
, that Jin Yi was also given to Khan Ama, and the son no longer had any hand... But as for the manpower for these two errands, there are some people who need to be arranged on the son's side. They were requested from his elder brother and younger brothers before, and they are not many, only a dozen in total.
There must be about twenty people!”
Kangxi took the plan and looked at Brother Jiu, a little afraid to recognize it.
Is this still his son who talks about money all the time?
It's like a different person.
Not only the weaving field must be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the one selling medicine must be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Seeing that Brother Jiu still had a few pages of paper in his hand, Kangxi couldn't help but be moved: "What is that?"
Brother Jiu smiled flatteringly: "Khan Ama, my son wants to ask for a favor..."
