The "Hundred Days Banquet" at Sibeile Mansion will not be held, but the necessary gifts still need to be prepared.

This is easier.

In the past few years, children have been born in every house. As a rule, children are given as gifts to the descendants and as gifts to the concubines.

Brother Jiu is counting his fingers and waiting for the seal.

As a result, on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Holy Spirit came to Nanyuan Paddock.

The ninth elder brother had no choice but to accompany me on duty.

Among the Chengding princes, except for the crown prince, the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother, everyone else followed and surrounded him, as well as the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother who were not Cheng Ding.

When the driver came back, Brother Jiu sat down and was distracted.

what happened?

Khan Amma is very addicted to hunting.

I went there once last month, are you going again this month?

A while ago, on the way to visit the mausoleum, weren’t we hunting all the time?

Pity him here, he has to meet him again when he comes back.

Seeing that Brother Twelve was quiet, Brother Ninth became curious and said: "Twelve, how hard do you pull the bow?"

This younger brother was silent in the study, and he was not outstanding in both civil and military affairs.

But after this year, the ninth elder brother also saw that the twelfth elder brother had a problem in his heart.

The twelfth elder brother raised his head and did not answer immediately. He hesitated and said, "Seven powers or eight powers?"

Brother Jiu was puzzled: "What's there to be hesitant about? Is it seven or eight?"

Regardless of whether it is Qi Li or Ba Li, at the age of the twelfth prince, he is considered outstanding.

He is young, has a small birthday, and still has a lot of strength.

The twelfth elder brother paused and said: "That... is Jiu Li!"

Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "What's this? It's not even close. Your sister-in-law Jiu can shoot a ten-power bow, and the girl next to her can also shoot a ten-power bow. The black guard in our house can shoot a fourteen-power bow. Listen,

When I was young, I didn’t even have the power of sixteen..."

Regarding the Nine Sisters and Ten Power Gongs, the twelfth elder brother has not seen it in person, but he has heard the fourteenth elder brother talk about it several times.

Sister-in-law Jiu is very powerful, but won’t she be so powerful if she doesn’t have ten strength?

The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and wanted to ask a question.

Brother Jiu averted his eyes and stood up, saying: "I'll go to the inner manufacturing office and have a look..."

What's the use of drawing a bow and shooting arrows if you don't go to the battlefield?

It's just showing off in the paddock.

Very boring.

After leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he took He Yuzhu and Sun Jin to the inner building to make gold and jade works.

The work arranged by the Qianqing Palace before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the December flower bonsai, should be ready now.

Brother Ninth wants to take a look. If it looks good, he can tell Shu Shu when he goes back. He will also have various gold and jade bonsais in his silver building next year.

The gem bonsai is all ready, with a glass cover on the outside and a rosewood base on the bottom.

Place them in a row and look lifelike.

Camellia in January, orchid in February, peach blossom in March, rose in April, pomegranate in May, lotus in June, jasmine in July, osmanthus in August, chrysanthemum in September, hibiscus in October, narcissus in November, wintersweet in December.

In addition to gold wire, various gemstones, jade and pearls were also used.

The things made inside are indeed exquisite.

Brother Jiu looked at it with a sense of schadenfreude.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.

How to reward this person?

It sounds like the first one is more expensive, but everyone knows that flowers are more beautiful, and more people like bigger flowers.

There is also a moral.

The pomegranate flower will definitely fall into Chengqian Palace.

Brother Jiu remembered the names of Xiaosong and the others, and Fujin still liked the tree of longevity.

Compared with pines and cypresses, the flowering periods of these seasonal flowers are short and unlucky.

Brother Jiu went to the leader of the craftsmen and asked, "What will be the work here in the spring next year?"

The leader of the craftsmen said: "Prepare two sets of Prince Fuji's first wedding ceremony."

The ninth elder brother arranged the "first wedding ceremony" for the tenth elder brother himself, knowing that there were not many things.

He didn't say anything, it was made of gold and jade.

Nowadays, foreign goods are popular in the capital, and there are more and more Western jewelry.

But Brother Jiu felt that as long as the materials were available, these craftsmanship could be imitated by an in-house manufacturer.

He came here today. In addition to looking at the bonsai, he just wanted to know about the construction period here.

If the construction period is not busy and everyone is free, we can try to let them imitate Western utensils later.

After you become familiar with the patterns and craftsmanship there, you can then make Western jewelry.

The training of craftsmen within the company has matured.

It would be a waste of manpower to just listen to the orders from above. Could it be possible to allocate some of the craftsmen from the internal manufacturing department to do external work?

At that time, there will be no need to use the imperial banner, which will not damage the royal dignity, but it will not delay the open source.

Brother Jiu thought about it, returned to the Yamen, and wrote down a plan on the matter.

In addition to gold and jade work, there are also enamel work, Ruyi Pavilion, bronze work, clock making, glass factory, and oil wood work, all of which have great potential.

Jiangnan is wealthy and treats people in the capital as country bumpkins.

The fashionable clothing here in the capital is indeed passed down from the south of the Yangtze River.

Then pass it in reverse.

Let the capital become popular first, and then Mongolia and Jiangnan will follow the capital's trend, and the money will come in a steady stream...

Nanyuan Palace, southwest corner courtyard.

Shengjia arrived at the Nanyuan paddock this morning and had to rest for a day as usual.

However, Kangxi called for all the accompanying brothers and rode together to the yard in the southwest corner of the paddock.

It has been more than a month since I came here last month, and I have tried two more rounds of vaccination, both of which were safe.

Kangxi had already asked Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day and selected a day for the seventeenth prince to be vaccinated, which was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Vaccination is different in adults than in children.

In his early years in the palace, he used palace servants to test for variolation, and in the past six months, he also allowed Zhao Chang and Fu Song to use death row prisoners from the Ministry of Punishment to test for cowpox.

But he couldn't vaccinate innocent children. If he did, he would be known as "cruel" a hundred years later.

But sending the seventeenth elder brother to be vaccinated alone made him feel reluctant to give up as a father.

After listening to the report from the imperial doctor and Fu Song, the princes and elder brothers had different thoughts.

There were a total of five children in the Zhijun Prince's Mansion, all of whom were vaccinated against variola, and all of them were successful.

Therefore, the eldest brother thinks that the reason why people outside are unwilling to vaccinate is probably due to their stubbornness. If the cowpox vaccine is used, whether or not to vaccinate will still be avoided.

He didn't feel much.

The third and fourth elder brothers are both fond of calculating economic accounts, and they immediately understood what it meant to reduce the cost of cowpox to 1% of the "cooked vaccine".

It means that relief homes in every place can afford to inoculate pox.

Ordinary families, above average, can afford this expense.

Vaccination will no longer be limited to the capital and the Eight Banners, but can also be promoted outside Beijing.

The third elder brother felt his heart aching when he looked at Fu Song.

What would a defunct clan do with this credit?

As long as he takes charge of this matter, he will be promoted to the county king immediately!

The fourth elder brother had already heard what the ninth elder brother had said, and he was already thinking about how much it would cost the county and the government if the government provided free vaccination in the year of acne.

Sand accumulates into hills.

It will cost a lot of money, but it is not unaffordable either.
