Chapter 742 The monthly ticket was deducted from the money)
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi looked at the folded page in his hand and frowned: "Why are there only two guards?"
The second-class guard was replaced by a Heishan, and the third-class guard was replaced by a Fuqing.
Brother Ninth said: "The remaining four are going to be picked from several assistant leaders and supervising disciples..."
Kangxi then looked down, and when he saw the total number of guards and vests, he reported fifty and said, "Why is it only half?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's full now. When my son has bannermen, he will have to replace them. It's not necessary. My son has calculated that these people are enough for daily use."
Kangxi was not very satisfied.
When he was in the palace, the prince had ten bodyguards and fifty guards when he went out. After he left, he also had to look after the house and guard the courtyard, which actually reduced the number.
He then looked at the population of men and women below. There were 110 people in the household, 20 people in the household, and 20 eunuchs.
Calculated in this way, the number of people under the command of the whole government is one hundred and fifty, which is not much more than when my elder brother took over.
Kangxi glanced at Brother Ninth and said, "These people in prison have been assigned to your name. Still can't believe it?"
Although caution is a good thing, being too cautious is unnecessary.
Brother Jiu said: "My son has already calculated it. These people are almost enough to do the work. We will just make adjustments when the manpower is insufficient."
The population of Baoyi is one hundred and ten. In addition to the ninety-six people he and Fujin had discussed before, there are fourteen people left who are ready to select the servants.
As for the population under the household, it is Shu Shu’s dowry population.
As for the eunuchs, there are currently seven of them, and there are thirteen more planned to be recruited from the Jingshi Room.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth, but he was confused and said: "You don't need to pay for it, why are you so worried?"
Who does this seriousness in money follow?
I am not a stingy person, and Concubine Yi has always been generous.
Brother Jiu said: "My son just doesn't think it's necessary. It's just a few tasks that can be done by one person. There's no need for such pomp and circumstance."
It's not like he's a big spender. He has plenty of money in the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so there's no need to waste it.
Kangxi did not comment, and the ninth elder brother handed over the tenth elder brother's share and said: "The tenth elder brother wanted to come in person. My son said that my son was coming just in time, so he brought it to me."
Kangxi nodded, took it, and looked at it briefly.
The guards of the 10th prince are almost complete, they are all his haha beads.
The rest of the population in the mansion follows the example of the ninth elder brother: the guard army, fifty vests, the coated population, the household population of one hundred and thirty, and the eunuchs twenty.
Kangxi swallowed what he planned to teach Brother Jiu.
Having fewer people saves trouble. The ninth and tenth elder brothers are still young, so it would not be good if the people around them are messy and they are kidnapped.
Brother Jiu brought the favor and said: "Khan Ama, my son wants to ask you for two royal letters..."
Kangxi glanced at him, snorted softly, and said, "Where do you plan to hang up?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "The door can't be bare, just hang nothing, in case there is any offense if you don't open your eyes!"
If you deal with it directly at that time, it will be too harsh; if you don't deal with it, it will become a joke.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to hang on to?"
Brother Ninth asked curiously: "Is there any other choice? If it doesn't say 'Ninth Prince's Mansion', what's the point? 'Nine Prince's Mansion'?"
Kangxi snorted and said, "Why are there two letters?"
Brother Ninth said matter-of-factly: "There are also plaques on Lao Shi's side. They can't just slip down. 'Four Baylor's Mansion', 'Eight Baylor's Mansion', 'Ninth Prince's Mansion', the last one should be vacant..."
Kangxi said dissatisfied: "You will find work for me?"
Brother Jiu flattered him and said: "My son is not asking for it in vain. I will give you a big gift to Khan's mother next year..."
If peanuts are successfully grown in the suburbs next year, not only will there be one more dish, but there will also be a variety of vegetable oils.
Kangxi thought that the ninth elder brother was most fond of economic affairs. Now that he was separated into households, the shops outside would inevitably open up, so he said: "Only this time, not the second time!"
If I don't make it clear, with Jiu Age's shameless attitude, I can't even go back and ask for an imperial pen for the store's plaque.
Brother Jiu didn't think that far at all, he nodded and said: "Of course, I won't change this brand even if it goes up..."
He misunderstood and thought that what Kangxi was talking about was that other hall names in the mansion were still vacant, so he said: "This mansion plaque is for outsiders to see, and the imperial pen is also decent. There are plaques for the halls inside, etc. Later, Teacher Yang will write two
, ask Zhang Tingzhan for help, ask Zhang Shangshu to write two more, and then ask Fahai for two more..."
Kangxi felt uncomfortable, glanced at him, and said, "Why can't there be an imperial pen inside?"
Brother Jiu said: "Things are rare and valuable. If they are all Khan Ama's calligraphy treasures, that would be too outrageous and unnecessary!"
Kangxi felt that it was not just that, he seemed to be disliked.
The three people mentioned by Brother Jiu are all famous calligraphers in the capital.
Brother Jiu saw that Kangxi's face was not good, so he quickly shut up and said attentively: "My son serves Khan Ama and grinds ink for you..."
Kangxi looked at him for a few times and said, "It's okay to be attentive. Tell me, what else do you want from me?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from Ama Khan. My son and Lao Shi have moved, haven't they? I want to have wine and treat my brothers to a meal on the second day of next month. I promised Fourteen and them before."
, including them, go to the study and ask for a day off..."
Kangxi pondered: "You and Brother Ten are entertaining together? Who are you inviting?"
Brother Jiu said: "The second day of the Lunar New Year is a family banquet. No outsiders are invited, only the family members..."
Speaking of this, he remembered that Princess Rongxian was currently in the capital, and said: "In addition to my brother, sister-in-law, and a few younger ones in the palace, plus the second sister and Xiaojiu..."
Forget about the other little princesses, they are not familiar with them and they are also young.
Kangxi had a smile on his face and said: "First of all, you borrowed a lot of foreign debt, so it's time to have a drink to thank you..."
Brother Jiu proudly said: "When my son pays back the money, I will wait to take turns eating!"
All parents in the world long for their children to be happy.
Kangxi did not embarrass the ninth elder brother and said: "Then take him out for a day and bring him back before sunset. Don't delay the next day's homework."
Brother Jiu assured: "That's of course. At their age, they should study hard, so as not to go out and play all the time and become wild..."
*
Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
The eldest brother received the invitation and called Chang Shi: "Have you prepared the 'housewarming ceremony'?"
Chang Shi said: "We are ready, follow the practices of other Baylor Mansion last year."
Although it was a mess after the household division last year, and Dafu passed away in a few days, the palace was fully staffed, and the due favors and gifts were given.
It's just that because of Dafu's death, none of the restaurants served wine last year.
The eldest elder brother said: "The tenth elder brother will follow the example, and the ninth elder brother will add some silver..."
*
Sanbeile Mansion.
San Fujin looked at the invitation, and it mentioned that he would bring his children there.
She touched her belly and planned to go there.
Now she is five months old and obviously pregnant, but her movements are relatively easy.
There was no need for greetings from the palace. She was bored all day long and wanted to get together with her sisters-in-law.
As for the kids?
You can take your eldest son there and get to know your cousins.
The third elder brother came in and said: "In addition to the usual 'housewarming gift' from Lao Jiu, I will also give you two more coins!"
San Fujin was very surprised and said: "Okay, what money can I add?"
The third elder brother sat by the kang, coughed lightly and said, "What else is there? As an elder brother, can't you give me pocket money?"
Sanfujin hummed and said: "We just divided the household, and we have two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver. Is there still money left?"
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "Who told you that Lao Jiu and the others got 230,000 taels? They came with the knighthood. Now Lao Jiu and Lao Ten have not been knighted, and they do not have this amount of money for the time being..."
San Fujin frowned and said, "Then how much will you pay for this letter?"
The third elder brother thought for a while, and the brothers knew that the ninth elder brother had no money, so he would probably add some silver coins, so he himself could not fall behind too much.
If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to ensnare the wolf.
All the principal of 150,000 yuan was invested in it...
He gritted his teeth and said: "Two hundred!"
This is quite a lot, two letters are four hundred taels.
His current annual salary is only two thousand five hundred taels...
*
Sibeile Mansion.
The post from Sifujin was sent personally by Grandma Xing.
In addition to hosting a banquet for the fourth elder brother and his wife, the eldest elder brother Honghui was also invited, and Si Fujin was invited to take Honghui with him, so that he could play with the fifteenth elder brother.
Si Fujin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll take him there if you want, but let Aunt Ninth give him a good hug..."
*
In Wubeile Mansion, the fifth elder brother’s face looked ugly.
He was full of tangles in the study. He looked at the time and estimated that the ninth elder brother was still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time, so he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to intercept the ninth elder brother.
Brother Ninth happened to be here. He had just come out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and planned to go home.
The fifth elder brother pulled him aside and said directly: "Is there any money left to replenish the internal treasury? If there is any left, pay back some of Lao Qi's first..."
Brother Jiu was stunned after hearing this and said, "What happened to Brother Seven? Can't you find the money?"
He had not planned to "borrow" so much money before, and for this reason, he was afraid that his brothers would not lend a hand when they needed the money for more than two years, so he emphasized that it was "spare money."
The fifth elder brother frowned and said: "The 230,000 taels of silver that Lao Qi didn't divide into households seems to have been used by Aunt Wang. Someone from the Shang family said something..."
The Shang family is the natal family of Prince Chun Fujin. Although they are not so bold as to worry about the huge wealth of the Shang Palace, they are like a supervisory officer and are very picky about the seventh elder brother and his wife.
According to the Shang family's intention, they wanted to choose one of the Shang family's daughters to be Qi Fujin, but Prince Chun Fujin refused.
Prince Chun Fujin himself chose Qi Fujin, who was not bad in birth, appearance, and character.
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "What do you mean two hundred and thirty thousand and twenty thousand taels of silver that are not divided into accounts? But I stamped and signed it at that time, and this amount was recorded in the internal account!"
The fifth elder brother glanced at him and said: "Probably not. When I was receiving the money, my uncle even mentioned that he didn't see anyone from the seventh man's house. I thought it was because I received the money on a different date..."
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded. He looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace with disbelief and said, "Why did Khan Ama withhold it and not give it to me?"
The fifth elder brother scratched his head and said: "Is it for fairness?"
Otherwise, if you have already prepared a share of the Chunwang Palace, if you receive another share, it will be more than other brothers...
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Can that be the same? I received these 230,000 taels from Khan Ama, so I can hold it freely. I don't know when the share from Uncle Chun Wang's house will fall into the hands of Brother Seven." good……"
Just like the current situation, if something is misappropriated, relatives on Waibalu Road will talk about it.
