Jilinazha was a concubine given by Kangxi. Her status in the entire Qing Mansion was second only to Cao Chun.
After serving tea, Cao Chun also followed the rules and gave Jilinazha a seat.
Jilinazha had been in the palace for a while and knew the rules. She declined and did not dare to sit down.
Yuzhu was quite satisfied when he saw that Jilinazha didn't dare to pretend to be a concubine.
Well, she is a good concubine if she knows how to behave.
However, Jilinazha is a concubine given by the emperor himself, so Yuzhu should also have a basic attitude.
So Yuzhu called the chief steward Zhao Shan over and asked him: "Isn't the Dongkua courtyard next to our courtyard always empty?"
Zhao Shan said respectfully: "Sir, you have a very good memory. The East Cross Courtyard is indeed always empty."
"Well, I will give it to Aunt Jili in the east cross courtyard. In addition, please ask your wife to follow the rules and reward the girls and wives."
"Hey." Zhao Shan immediately understood that Aunt Jili was particularly different.
Cao Chun thought for a while, and since Gilinazha had never served her before, she only arranged for two little girls to serve her.
Now that Jilinazha had consummated their marriage and was a concubine given by the emperor, Cao Chun followed the rules of the upper class and gave her an additional 30% of the salary.
As a result, there were two first-class girls, four second-class girls, third-class girls and a number of rough ladies beside Jilinazha.
This kind of treatment is naturally incomparable to Cao Chun's eight eldest girls. However, the treatment that Jilinazha enjoys is already much higher than that of ordinary concubines.
After Yuzhu went out in a sedan chair, he went straight to the Yamen of the Infantry Commander.
After Yuzhu sat firmly, Yuanwai Lang Wendena came over and whispered: "Dong Weng, the attitude of the Nancheng Procuratorate is extremely tough, and they refuse to let him go."
Yuzhu had already expected this result, so he ordered Wendena: "I'll leave this matter to you. Find a suitable excuse and time to arrest a large number of people from the Nancheng Procuratorate. You
Remember, the more we catch, the better it will be for us."
"Hey." Wendner secretly geared up. This was the first time he was responsible for running an errand on his own after following Mr. Zhu. He had to do it properly and beautifully.
Treating rituals first and then fighting is the basis for conflicts between yamen.
Yuzhu already has a lot of face, but the censor of the Nancheng Procuratorate is so shameless, so I'm sorry!
Wendner secretly laughed at him. The Nancheng Army and Horse Division only had a few hundred people. How could they fight with Zhu Gong?
It’s simply overestimating one’s capabilities!
According to Wendner's own statistics, Yuzhu's subordinates so far have a total of more than 32,800 Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers.
Let Wendena arrange to deal with the Nancheng Procuratorate. This is a sign that Yuzhu will make great use of him.
Wendner, how dare you not try your best?
After Yuzhu finished handling the official duties at hand, he drove quietly to the headquarters of Yongrui Camp.
After the Yongrui Battalion was lifted up as a whole and the Han military flag was raised, the treatment was also improved a lot.
However, living in the capital is not easy.
For Yuzhu's old subordinates, if they want to buy a house in the capital to settle down, in most cases, it is a luxury.
Kangxi kept a close eye on Yuzhu, and no matter how rich Yuzhu was, he would not dare to give away his house to his old subordinates for nothing.
However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Yuzhu has many flexible methods, such as a low-interest installment home purchase policy.
To put it simply, Yuzhu bought a large area of dilapidated old houses near the military camp in the outer city, knocked them all down, and redesigned them into a two-story single-family house.
To put it bluntly, the area of the small building is not large, only about 20 square meters and one floor.
Upstairs is the summer bedroom, and downstairs is the kitchen and living room separated by a partition. A kang is built in a corner of the living room, which can be used as a dining room.
When winter comes, the whole family will move to the kang on the first floor to sleep.
One small building next to the other, less than five feet apart.
Due to the large number of people and the limited land, for the sake of economy, there is only a small courtyard in front of each small building.
The small yard is not big and can only be used to set up bamboo poles to dry clothes.
As for growing vegetables, well, don’t have that dream!
Kangxi is not Cixi!
Under Kangxi's nose, Yuzhu naturally did not dare to do Yuan Xiangcheng's trick of raising a private army.
Eat Master Yuan's food, wear Master Yuan's clothes, and only listen to Master Yuan's orders!
As long as you dare to shout these words, Yuzhu will definitely stop eating in a few hours!
After Yuzhu arrived at the place, he walked into the large construction site under construction with his hands behind his back.
The capital city of this era was prone to earthquakes.
If it is a small building with brick and tile structure, once it encounters a major earthquake, the loss will be completely immeasurable.
As for reinforced concrete, don't worry about it, the technical requirements are completely unreachable.
Not to mention anything else, the cement alone makes it difficult for the jade pillar to die.
In a word, except for the main beams of the small building built by Yuzhu, which are made of thick logs, and the surrounding walls, which are made of blue bricks, all other materials are made of wood as much as possible.
The progress on the construction site is actually quite fast.
In this era, there is no such thing as 996.
Yuzhu adopts the method of contracting work but not materials. The invited craftsmen work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
It's not a big royal project that needs to be completed in a hurry, so the craftsmen don't have the possibility to stay up all night.
After raising the flag, the Yongrui Battalion expanded to more than 1,200 people.
All officers above sentinel and above were included, and there were less than fifty.
According to Yuzhu's plan, the housing problems of these old subordinates were solved this time.
After leaving the construction site, Yuzhu went straight to the military camp of Yongrui Camp.
After the small-scale expansion of the army, the entire Yongrui Battalion has basically completed a standard infantry standard structure in the Beiyang Army, that is, the standard battalion sentry post, which in turn corresponds to the organizational structure of regiments, battalions, and companies.
Yuzhu is also the commander of the regiment, which is the leader of the regiment. One bid is divided into three battalions, and the leaders of the three battalions are Lu Wu, Ma Qingfang and Niu Tai.
As for the soldiers around Yuzhu, the Gesheha were given to Wendner to take charge of.
In this way, Yuzhu's direct troops were firmly in his hands.
Yuan Shikai, who was born in the Huai Army and started his career from a young age, can be said to be uneducated.
Yushuai is both learned and skilled. He came from Manchuria's family.
Yuan Gongbao relied on small favors to win over the soldiers.
Yuzhu simply solves the most important aspect of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
How much money does it cost to eat Master Yuan's food and wear Master Yuan's clothes?
Yuzhu grabbed Niubi and allowed his direct subordinates to have their own nest in this capital city.
The officers of the Yongrui Battalion could never afford a house in the outer city with their little military salary.
Now, Yuzhu has realized the dream of home ownership for them, and everyone is grateful to Yuzhu from the bottom of their hearts.
"Handsome Master, yesterday Ma went to visit our house again." Lu Wu joked and revealed Ma Qingfang's little moves to Yu Zhu.
Ma Qingfang smiled naively, rubbed his hands subconsciously, and said sheepishly: "To be fair to you, handsome man, I will wait until the small building is completed before going to the house to propose marriage."
Yuzhu nodded knowingly and smiled. He knew that this kid Ma Qingfang actually fell in love with a pretty widow who owned a restaurant.
The pretty widow also wanted to find an official as her backer, and the two hit it off.
However, Ma Qingfang is a tough person and is not willing to live above the Pretty Widow's restaurant after getting married, so as not to be stabbed in the back and accused of being a softie.
Now, the officer building of Yongrui Camp is about to be completed.
Ma Qingfang became a little anxious. Whenever he was not on duty, he would go to the construction site and keep an eye on the progress of the construction.
Yuzhu took a sip of the tea soup and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old horse. In another month, everything will be sorted out."
Ma Qingfang hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and begged Yuzhu: "Shuaiye, I drank too much a few days ago, so the little lady took the blame. I said... I
Said... I will ask you, handsome man, to be the matchmaker and come to propose marriage in person, it’s really time to fight!”
"Pa." After Ma Qingfang finished explaining, he raised his hand and gave himself a big slap.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Ma Qingfang's words were half true and half false, but he must have been counting on him to propose the marriage in person.
In that case, it would be even more face-saving!
"Sure, as long as you set an auspicious date for the marriage proposal, I will be the matchmaker." Yuzhu nodded happily, and Ma Qingfang happily kowtowed three times.
In this way, even Niu Tai, who was relatively upright, could see Ma Qingfang's little thoughts.
Yuzhu personally protects the great matchmaker, and from then on, Ma Qingfang can be regarded as the direct lineage.
After Lu Wu came to his senses, he touched his chin and thought, let's just say whose daughter he wants to marry, he should ask the handsome man to do it for him, right?
Niu Tai is Yuzhu's lover, and Yuzhu has the final say in his marriage, so he is not in a hurry and just waits for Yuzhu to arrange it for him.
From Yuzhu's point of view, his old subordinates hope to use the excuse of maintaining a matchmaking relationship to get closer to him, and he is naturally happy to see this happen.
As the saying goes, brothers fight against tigers, and father and son fight in battle.
The human heart is made of flesh.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Originally, Yuzhu's policy of low-interest installment purchase of houses implied the intention of drawing the direct military officers into a community of interests.
Now, the three officials are all thinking about letting him come forward to protect the matchmaking, which must be a good thing that everyone is happy with.
The idea of making a horse run fast without eating grass only exists in myths and stories.
In this world, the strongest relationship is actually a community with the same fundamental interests.
With the Holy Family in full swing and the promising Yuzhu working hard, everyone has a great goal to achieve.
As long as they are not out of their minds or have taken advantage of others, who would easily betray Yuzhu?
Why did Kangxi and his sons fall out one by one in his later years?
The fundamental reason is that Kangxi lived too long and blocked his sons' progress.
After watching the soldiers' drill, Yuzhu left the military camp with satisfaction.
In today's Yongrui camp, everything else is fine. The only fly in the ointment is that Kangxi only allowed Yuzhu to buy foreign guns and foreign gunpowder, but did not allow him to build an arsenal to make guns and gunpowder.
Since ancient times, anyone who achieves great things must not be impatient!
Sima Zhongda in history had the last laugh!
