Chapter 229 Accompanying the Emperor out of the Palace
After leaving the palace on duty, Yuzhu was just about to board the sedan chair to go home when he heard Sailer's voice.
"Yuzhu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go, brothers, let's have a drink together."
Yuzhu turned around and saw, good guys, behind Seiler, there were several clan members with yellow belts around their waists.
Sailer is not an ordinary person. He is not only the future iron-hatted Prince Shuncheng, but also Yuzhu's roommate and colleague.
Yuzhu still had to give him the honor of inviting him to drink.
So, several people took sedans and horses and went to Zhimei Tower.
In the Prince's Mansion of Shuncheng County, there is a special elegant seat in the Zhimei Building.
A few people sat down and chatted, and Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. Good guy, it's just a big gathering of idle clan members.
Among them, Ablan and Yuzhu, the sons of Ba Nai, the Duke of Fengen Town, are very familiar.
One of the crimes for which Longkodo was tortured to death by Yongzheng was to secretly hide the original jade certificate. One of the protagonists was this Abulan.
After everyone sat down, Abram spoke the most.
In all the cities of Forty-nine, Abram knows where the food is the best, where all the ladies are prostitutes, where there are the most secret traps, and where the casinos are most fond of cheating.
"Brother Yuzhu, look at you like this, you know too little, don't you? Come tomorrow, I will lead you to find a few servants, have a good time?" Abulan made the invitation without telling anyone.
Hey, what can Yuzhu say?
He just smiled, picked up the teacup, and filled his mouth with tea soup.
After all, Seile is the second-class emperor, and he is much more stable than Abram. Seeing that Yuzhu was a little embarrassed, he interrupted with a smile.
"I said, Abram, you should find something serious to do, instead of wandering around carrying a cage all day long." After Seiler's words, Yuzhu understood.
Today’s meal is not that simple.
Sure enough, Abram immediately answered the call and said with a smile: "Brother Yuzhu, I heard that you are also the supervisor of Chongwen Sect? Alas, brother, I am so idle all day long, and messing around every day is not a long-term solution.
How about you find a job for me?"
In view of the many lessons learned from the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty strictly controlled the number of clan titles.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
With the addition of thousands of untitled yellow-belted clans, the court's expenses have indeed been reduced a lot. However, most of these people are idle at home, doing nothing and causing trouble every day.
As soon as Yuzhu discussed with Kangxi about attacking the Rakshasa Kingdom, Abulan came to the door. Of course he wanted to take advantage of it.
"Brother Ablan, I heard that the dog breeding office in the palace is recruiting talents who are good at raising dogs. I wonder if you are interested?" As soon as Yuzhu said these words, Ablan immediately became excited.
Carrying a bird in a cage, walking a dog to cook an eagle, Abulanna is proficient in all of them.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu understands the mentality of these idle clans very well.
They don't particularly care how much money they get, the main thing is that they have errands to do and they also need to be decent.
Very different from modern people's ideas, dog breeding in this era was a very dignified job.
Raising dogs for the emperor means more money and less work, and you don't need to guard the Yamen.
Others ask, Master, where do you work?
Hey, I don’t have much future, I can only raise dogs for the emperor.
Oh, you are a very capable person!
Yuzhu is not proficient in raising dogs. However, why not find an expert in raising dogs such as Erha from a dog breeding place?
When Yuzhu leads troops out in the future, there will always be someone watching him. Rather than someone else, he might as well be Ablan.
In Yuzhu's dictionary, waste that cannot be used for serious purposes can also be used as waste as long as it is used in the right place.
In the future, among the more than a thousand elite troops, there will always be someone who is proficient in dog nature, right?
Moreover, as long as the clan family sends out troops, many people are willing to join in to gain military merit and gain a title or something.
This has become an old tradition.
In the early Qing Dynasty, not the late Qing Dynasty, the three dynasties of Shun, Kang and Yong had relatively strict implementation of the rule that no superior rank would be awarded without military merit.
The so-called super nobility, that is, those above the earl among the civilian nobility, and those above the Duke of Feng Enfu among the clan.
When no one knows it, the dog breeding place is actually an excellent place to go.
These idle clan members are definitely not good at doing serious things, but their ability to obey orders is extremely impressive.
Abram was not stupid, he immediately understood Yuzhu's hint, and he immediately said: "Brother, although I don't have much ability, the job at the dog breeding place is not difficult."
The dog breeding department is divided into internal and external. The external dog breeding department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The internal dog breeding department is also managed by the imperial minister and is an institution directly controlled by the emperor.
After the banquet was over, Seiler, Abulan and the others went to play with the Qinghuan, while Yuzhu returned home in a sedan chair.
While Xiuyun was waiting for the man to change his clothes, Xiuyun whispered: "Master, I haven't been pregnant for so long, and I feel very guilty. I have ordered people to stop Xingrui and Xingjiao's soup."
Yuzhu actually had no opinion on whether his eldest son should be his legitimate son or the eldest son of a concubine. Emperor Hui of Jin was his legitimate son, but he was a well-known fool.
His future career will definitely be based on merit.
However, in order to make Xiuyun feel better, Yuzhu did not have any intervention for the time being.
Since Xiuyun said this, Yuzhu naturally couldn't nod immediately.
Yuzhu pretended to be silent, thought for a while, and then said: "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry for now. If you really want to stop, let's wait a year, right?"
The key to getting along as a couple is to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
There was no movement in Xiuyun's stomach, and she was inevitably a little anxious.
Everything else is easy to talk about. The longer the matter of childlessness is delayed, the uglier Li Si'er's face will become.
Xiuyun is under a lot of pressure!
Xiuyun was naturally moved by the man's thoughtfulness.
That night, Yuzhu was in the bathtub, enjoying the taste of mandarin ducks.
In the morning, Yuzhu didn't get up too early, and wandered into the Qianqing Palace at the end of the imperial gate.
Because, because he was not on duty, the three waist cards in Yuzhu's arms, the most powerful one, could only send him to the steps of Qianqing Palace.
When Yuzhu was called in, he saw that Kangxi had already changed into casual clothes, wearing a Liuhe hat, a royal blue silk dress, and a cloth belt around his waist.

Kangxi did not call Jianyu, and led Yuzhu, Liang Jiugong, and Nuoluobu to several guards, walked to Shenwu Gate, boarded the car and went to the princess residence of the ninth daughter of the emperor.
Yuzhu sat in the carriage and discovered that the walls of the seemingly small carriage were covered with small and unique bookshelves.
There is a book placed on the small table.
Yuzhu lowered his head and took a look, and suddenly realized that it was the book "Optics" written by the great scientist Newton.
This astonishing discovery gave Yuzhu a new understanding of Kangxi's scientific literacy.
How should I put it? Kangxi knew everything, but because he was the emperor of Manchuria, he deliberately suppressed the spread of science and technology in the Qing Dynasty.
According to Yuzhu's current understanding, political enlightenment is the driving force for social progress.
The reason is actually very simple.
In this era, thousands of tons of battleships, flintlock guns, and dozens of pounds of heavy artillery have all appeared in the West.
Kangxi clearly knew this, but in order to consolidate the basis of the rule of the bannermen, he deliberately did not develop modern military industry.
The root cause is that after the Han people mastered guns and cannons, the bannermen's riding and shooting skills would sooner or later lose their usefulness.
The problem is that as the wheel of history rolls forward, the Qing Dynasty gradually becomes self-contained, while foreigners are using military superiority to colonize the world.
Kangxi had been watching Yuzhu silently, and when he saw that his gaze passed over the translation of "Optics" without stopping, he stopped paying attention.
Yuzhu was well aware of Kangxi's shrewdness. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he told him in full what he had recommended to Abulan to go to a dog breeding place when he and Seile were drinking together yesterday.
After Kangxi heard this, there was no reaction. Yuzhu knew that the old emperor was a little angry.
According to Yuzhu's experience in dealing with the old emperor, if the old emperor curses, he will actually be in a good mood.
If the old emperor's face is as plain as water, hey, that means he is in a bad mood.
Coaxing the elderly does not mean simply being obedient to please them.
Many times, a little quarrel or even noise with the elderly can actually help enhance the relationship.
As an emperor, it is extremely cold at high places!
Except for a fool like Yuzhu, who would dare to deliberately make the old emperor angry?
"I see you, your head is a little unstable." The old emperor glared at Yuzhu, deliberately intimidating him.
But Yuzhu said seriously: "Old man, Abulan and the others actually want to contribute to the court, but they have been suffering from no chance."
Rectifying flag affairs has always been a headache for the Qing emperors.
The imperial treasury only had so much tax money, so it was impossible to seal vassals as aggressively as in the previous Ming Dynasty.
However, the result of not sealing the vassal was that there were too many idle men under the banner.
In the entire inner city, there are only 300,000 bannermen, and those who really have errands to do are only a few tens of thousands at most.
A large number of idle bannermen and clan members can only eat and wait to die.
After quietly entering the princess's house, Kangxi and the ninth princess sat together and chatted.
Yuzhu and Norob deliberately stood far away in order to avoid the suspicion of eavesdropping on the emperor's words.
"I heard that you, Seiler, Abulan and the others went to Zhimeilou for a drink yesterday?" When Norob asked, Yuzhu immediately understood that his every move was under the control of the old emperor.
middle.
"Ablan knows a lot, and having wine with him is really informative." Yuzhu praised Ablan calmly.
Norob raised his chin and said with a smile: "You may not know, but he also worked as a third-class shrimp before. However, he was too loose-lipped and always liked to let things slip out, so he was dismissed from his post again."
"Is this happening?" Yuzhu really didn't know about this, and his surprise was definitely not fake.
Norob smiled and said meaningfully: "If that kid continues to mess around like this, something will happen sooner or later."
Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly nodded, admiring Norob's extraordinary eyesight.
Indeed, if Abram cannot control his mouth, he will be in trouble sooner or later.
However, Yuzhu needs Abram's talkativeness now!
As for what does Abram's future misfortune have to do with Yuzhu?
