Chapter 812: Guaranteed Capital (Walling for Monthly Tickets)
When they arrived at the Holy Palace, Brother Jiu followed his brothers and stood behind them to congratulate them.
Not only does he have a place with the tenth prince, but all the way up to the fifteenth prince.
This year there are sixteen more brothers.
The sixteenth elder brother is the younger brother of the fifteenth elder brother. He was born in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign and is six years old this year.
In a few days, I will go to the study room to study.
Now he is wearing a small dragon coat and a small mink hat, which looks quite strange.
Unlike the shy and honest 15th elder brother before, the 16th elder brother is much more lively and a kid who loves to laugh.
She has a chubby little face with dimples, which makes her look like a chubby girl.
No matter which brother looked at him, he would always call them with a smile and not flinch at all. He was very courageous.
This is the youngest brother, who is about the same age as the emperor's grandchildren.
We all act like brothers and are very friendly.
Seeing this, Brother Ninth felt a little itchy. He pinched Brother Sixteen's little face and said, "It's quite tough..."
Brother Sixteen smiled and said: "Not as good as Brother Ninth..."
Brother Jiu laughed and said, "There's no need to compare this with me!"
The fourteenth elder brother raised his head and said with a smile: "My younger brother has heard this too, but I just said that my younger brother is more naughty than my ninth brother..."
Brother Sixteen tilted his little head and said: "The Queen said, Brother Fourteen is first, Brother Ninth is second, and I am third!"
Brother Fourteen said proudly: "No one can try to compete with me for first place!"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and felt it was an eyesore.
Although there is nothing to argue about, I don't want to be ranked behind the Fourteenth Prince.
When the Hall of Supreme Harmony comes out, everyone will disperse.
The eldest brother turned his head and motioned for his younger brothers to follow him.
Everyone stopped gossiping and followed the elder brother honestly.
The eldest brother and his younger brothers first paid New Year greetings to Prince Yu and Prince Gong, and then went to pay homage to Prince Zhuang.
Brother Jiu followed the crowd and raised his eyebrows, feeling good, there was no need to run to Prince Zhuang's Mansion anymore.
Also saved red envelopes.
At this moment, Wei Zhu came over and said: "Master Jiu, the emperor's biography is here..."
The scene immediately fell silent.
Brother Ninth was also a little confused.
Even if it is to be passed on, shouldn't it be passed on to Prince Jian and Lao Shi?
Is the Anjun Prince's lawsuit related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Seeing that he was not moving, the eldest brother urged: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go quickly!"
The third elder brother gloated and said, "Ninth brother, you haven't caused any trouble in the past two days, have you?"
Brother Jiu came to his senses, raised his chin, and said: "My brother is filial and sensible. Wherever he gets into trouble, he must be rewarded for his merit..."
He said proudly, but without any delay, he followed Wei Zhu to Qianqing Palace.
The fifth elder brother frowned and thought for a while, then asked the fourth elder brother: "What achievements has Lao Jiu made? Why haven't I heard of it?"
The fourth elder brother couldn't guess it either, so he said, "Maybe it's because of others."
The eighth elder brother looked worried on his face and looked at the tenth elder brother: "Tenth brother, you and the ninth brother are often together. Do you know why?"
Everyone looked at the tenth elder brother.
Brother 10 said without hesitation: "Brother Ninth said reward for merit, so that's merit. Throughout last year, Brother Ninth was not idle."
Everyone felt this was dishonest.
Who is idle?
But if the tenth prince doesn't say anything, there is nothing he can do.
The tenth elder brother looked at the seventh elder brother.
The seventh elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other and looked into the distance without changing their expressions.
Brother Fourteen coughed lightly and said, "I know the reason!"
Everyone looked at him.
The fourteenth elder brother said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to last year's rules, the day after tomorrow Khan Ama will go to the garden with the emperor's grandmother. This is the first one; on the sixth and seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the sixteenth brother and the emperor's grandson will
My brother is about to enter the study room, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will keep an eye on the companions when they enter the garden. This is the second incident..."
Once everyone thought that this was really the case, they dropped the matter.
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi called the ninth elder brother over, and it was exactly what the fourteenth elder brother said.
First, I want to ask about the emperor’s visit to the garden, and then about the sixteenth prince’s admission to school and his new companion’s admission into the palace.
There was an example last year, Brother Jiu had already ordered people to prepare it.
Kangxi added: "He Yi was greedy and lawless, and took over the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is it necessary for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Brother Jiu was surprised.
Why is He Yi so greedy and lawless?
Never heard of it before...
If that's the case, wouldn't he, as the master of palm seals, also make an oversight?
Although he didn't want to see He Yi, he had been working with He Yi for a year and generally understood that He Yi acted cautiously and without being too troublesome.
The fact that he had people watching his whereabouts in September was probably not his own initiative.
Brother Jiu asked: "Khan Ama, is there anyone criticizing you? Is there any evidence? Why doesn't my son know about this..."
He was really worried about someone taking advantage of the situation.
Because he hasn't treated He Yi well in the past few months, many people have been gossiping about He Yi in his ears.
He didn't want to be the one taking the blame.
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu and said: "There is no evidence, why should I raise this matter?"
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "You are right..."
As for whether to replace the head of housekeeping?
Of course you have to make up for it!
In addition to He Yi, there were two other directors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one was Haryatu, the censor of Zuodu, and the other was Ma Qi, a great scholar.
Both of them were busy with errands and had no time to take care of the general affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But a foreigner like He Yi is not of the same mind. Having learned from past mistakes, Ninth Prince doesn’t want him anymore.
He thought of the twelfth brother he had just seen in the team of brothers, silent and always being ignored.
He said: "Khan Ama, the twelfth elder brother has become a man. Why don't we let the twelfth elder brother come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to learn how to work?"
You have to practice and practice, and it would be better to go to Liubu for a walk.
Don't worry about being so bad-tempered now, as you might be bullied by others.
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu.
He didn't believe that Brother Jiu didn't understand what he meant.
What he wanted to ask was whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to hire someone to take charge of Yuqing Palace.
Even if the twelfth elder brother joins the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will only be walking around to learn errands, and he will not be able to do his job on his own.
Brother Jiu planned to take care of Yuqing Palace's affairs.
There is no need to arrange special manpower.
Otherwise, if you get used to Yuqing Palace, you will really think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is their Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu didn't hide anything, and told his plan, saying: "The princess's character and behavior are all respected by her son Fujin. The prince was taught by Khan Ama step by step, and the son Xiao's father can't do anything wrong. However, the servants of Yuqing Palace behaved a bit arrogantly, and they had often made things difficult for He Yi before. His son thought that it would be better for the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to create two stalls. Everything should be done according to the rules. With his son watching, there shouldn't be any servants who get sick. You must break the rules and treat Yuqing Palace's supplies harshly..."
After Kangxi heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded.
That's fine too.
Brother Ninth specially arranged for such a person before because of the special circumstances last year.
Suo'etu was asked to investigate, and some of them were implicated in Yuqing Palace.
Brother Jiu's face showed joy.
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "What's going on over there in Xiaotangshan?"
Brother Jiu stared at Kangxi with his eyes widened.
Kangxi's face was full of mystery, with no hint of happiness or anger.
Brother Ninth is a little stuck.
I don't really want to say it.
His mind was racing, but he was still defeated under the emperor's gaze, and whispered: "My son wants to do what Haidian did..."
Kangxi thought about the hundreds of thousands of acres of woodland, mountains, and millions of taels of silver, and couldn't help but have veins popping up in his temples.
He suppressed his anger and said: "That's millions of taels of silver, not tens of thousands of taels, but hundreds of thousands of taels. How dare you just throw it away?"
I thought Zhang Luozheng was running a business and making higher profits, but it turned out that he was still buying and selling in an ordinary way.
If the land price does not rise, and the mountain and forest land is lost, the annual salary in a lifetime will not be enough to pay off the debt!
No wonder he mentioned that he wanted to repair a hot spring bath for himself. This was the original intention.
Brother Jiu looked very honest. He looked at Kangxi and said, "With Ama Khan, my son will be bolder!"
Kangxi sneered and said: "How do you know that I will comply with your wishes and I won't go to the hot springs?"
Brother Jiu didn't know why the old Ama started to offend, so he tried to persuade him: "Then you are at a loss, because you can't even see the 'hot spring water that washes away fat'!"
Kangxi said angrily: "Speak carefully and don't be so playful!"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, my son plans to go there to wash it. If you don't want to go, my son will not sell the land, but will directly build a courtyard and sell the garden. Then he will go to the Huangshang Hall under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Bid the price, they are not short of money anyway..."
Kangxi frowned and said: "Asshole, that's where the dragon's veins are. How can we tolerate such a mess of people? We're not allowed to use clever names to exploit imperial merchants!"
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "If this doesn't work or that doesn't work, my son will just divide the land in his hands to pay off the debt, right? Your five hundred thousand taels will be right next to Tangquanxing..."
Kangxi hummed: "Where's the other five hundred thousand taels?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Khan Ama, all the business has gone to waste, it's good to just protect the capital."
Kangxi glared at him and said, "How sure are you?"
Brother Jiu's brother changed his mind when he heard the words. He immediately patted his chest and said: "Twelve points!"
Kangxi glanced at him, thought for a while, and said: "Tangquan Palace can't just repair it, it has to add two palaces..."
Brother Ninth Brother just mentioned it well, "hot spring water washes away fat", it's worth revisiting it.
Brother Ninth took charge and said: "Don't worry, I will repair it well."
According to his previous plan, several more palaces were to be built.
Since Khan Amma threatened him and used it to "blackmail" him, then his filial piety should also be withdrawn.
Two places is two places!
After saying this, Kangxi said again: "When the government opens, let the imperial pharmacy prepare more ready-made medicines and store them..."
Brother Jiu blinked his eyes.
This, the father and son really thought of it together.
He nodded and said: "My son mentioned this to Le Fengming a few days ago. There is a new prescription, which is similar to the 'Yanzi Pill'. My son has already asked someone to test the medicine, and the effect is good..."
Kangxi looked at him, looked him up and down, and said with a sad look on his face, "Okay, why did you prepare these medicines? Do you not understand the principle of three parts of medicines and poisons?"
He was worried that Brother Jiu was young and lustful for sex, so he took drugs to support himself.
He was a little angry at Shu Shu, how could he serve and not care about it?
Then he felt something was wrong.
Dong E's body became heavy.
He looked at Brother Jiu with suspicion on his face.
I haven't heard anything unusual in the Prince's Mansion. Is it from outside?
Have you raised a foreigner?
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "How can my son's body stand up to this? This is a combination of deer antlers, turtle paste, ginseng, and wolfberry. The medicine Jian Lihong is used to replenish qi and strengthen yang, and the sperm-producing seeds can prolong life..."
At this point, he said "hehe" twice: "Didn't my son see the general ledger of the pharmacy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before? The revenue of the 'Yanzi Pill' released in the second half of this year has been halved. It's time to buy a round of what I should buy.
The rest either had mediocre effects or bought other medicines as substitutes, so my son became interested and thought about finding a medicine that would give immediate results and be more effective..."
Kangxi's expression was still gloomy, but he thought about "seeds that produce sperm and prolong life"...
In the past few years, although the little brother in the palace has been constantly making troubles, compared with previous years, there has still been a lot less...
