It is certainly not an accident for the eldest princess and Haifeng to visit Chengqian Palace at this time.

Xiaozhuang specially asked them to come to visit Tong Guowei's Fujin Hesheli, and help her reward her with something.

"Oh, no reward for no merit, how can a slave receive such a heavy gift for nothing?"

Seeing that the gifts given to him were thirty pieces of brocade and thirty pieces of gold brocade, which were far more than the usual gifts, Hesheli stood up and kowtowed in the direction of Cining Palace.

Seeing this, the eldest princess quickly helped her up.

"Fujin doesn't have to be like this. My ancestor has been working hard for Mulan for many days and is a little lazy. Otherwise, I would have asked you to come over and talk. It's just a few pieces of material. Fujin is very polite."

Haifeng sipped the cool tangerine peel and sour plum soup in small sips, watching the two people acting in harmony, feeling very comfortable.

The princess and the uncle's wife sang Peking Opera to her for free, and the advantage was not in vain.

The secrets between Prince Gong and Tong Guowei were learned by Duobu from the army in his previous life and told her as a night chat between the couple to relieve their boredom.

Emperor Shunzhi died at the age of twenty-four, and the only people who could succeed him were eight-year-old Prince Yu Fuquan, Kangxi, and five-year-old Prince Gong Chang Ning.

Prince Yu was born with a disability in his right eye and was unable to compete for the throne. Kangxi's biological mother, Concubine Tong, was not conspicuous in the Shunzhi harem where Mongolian noblewomen gathered, but she was not considered inferior. Although her father Tong Tulai had been dead for three years at that time

For a long time, he was the commander-in-chief of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army and the Minister of Rites during his lifetime. When he was about to retire, he also got the false title of Prince Taibao. He was quite good at it. He couldn't squeeze into the top elite, at least.

Considered upper-middle level.

At that time, the Tong family was probably greedy for the throne, and they tried their best to run around the palace and spread the word that Prince Gong's biological mother, Yang, was of low origin and was not worthy of the position of Queen Mother.

Of course, this is true, but it is too hurtful.

It is not known whether Xiaozhuang eliminated Prince Gong Haifeng because of the Yang family's origin, but this incident later became an inextricable secret knot between the Tong family and Prince Gong's family. Six years later, it was a fact that it almost caused a delay in the military flight.

The ancestors of the Tong family started off as military generals, but perhaps because when Tong Tulai died, the eldest son died early, the second son Tong Guogang was just eighteen years old, and the youngest son Tong Guowei was only fifteen years old, so the two brothers basically served as ministers in the inner court, and they didn't have much

Got through the ranks.

In the 29th year of Kangxi's expedition to Galdan, Prince Yu led General Fuyuan out on the left, and Prince Gong led General Anbei out on the right to attack the enemy. It is estimated that Kangxi wanted to take the opportunity to provide money for his uncle's family, so he asked Tong Guogang to go on the right

Become a general in the army.

Duobu was also a vanguard in the right-wing army at that time. He told Haifeng that although Tong Guogang was in charge of the firearms battalion, he knew little about guns and artillery. Prince Gong mocked him and said that the women of the Tong family were better, which made Tong Guogang, an old man in his fifties, angry.

A man who was young, held a high position, and was still leading the way in the killing battle, but an old man who almost died on the battlefield of Ulan Butong.

After that, the Tong family and Prince Gong's family were almost at odds with each other, and they never interacted with each other until death.

As for now, the female family members can still maintain this kind of honorable etiquette, which can be said to be the last calm before the storm.

After a group of people were chatting and laughing in the main hall of Chengqian Palace for a while, the conversation naturally slowly shifted to the upcoming trip to Mulan.

The eldest princess smiled brightly, and picked up an iced cherry with a silver skewer on her white fingertips, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"I came to see the Imperial Concubine today and we have important matters to discuss, so I just want to talk casually."

"Oh, if anything happens to the eldest princess, you can just make the decision yourself."

"That's not possible. You are the Lord of the Sixth Palace. I was thinking of cutting off half of the servants around me and riding in the same carriage with my fourth sister to save the cost of a carriage and horses."

Tong Jiayixian, a weak person, was in low spirits and a little drowsy. After hearing these words, she immediately became alert.

"Oh, why is this?"

"Please forgive me, Imperial Concubine, but I am just speculating. Khan Amma's original intention was that it was a rare trip for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager should do it according to the highest standards; but she firmly disagreed, saying that the troops in the south were connected, and the national treasury

The internal treasury is not rich, so it is better to save the money to buy a few more red cannons. After hearing this, my fourth sister and I also wanted to help. It happened that there were not many people around her, and I didn’t need such a thing.

These servants like to be clean. Although the money we can save by joining together is limited, it is also considered as a piece of mind between the two of us."

This was of course Haifeng's idea.

Since we have decided to join forces with Prince Gong's family, we naturally have to share our needs and support each other.

As one of the country's top leaders, Xiaozhuang is relatively reliable, at least much better than a certain empress dowager who embezzled military funds to build a garden.

Wealth cannot lead to adultery.

In terms of personal enjoyment, she has always hated extravagance and waste.

As she calls on the Sixth Palace to save money, and if the eldest princess and Haifeng actively respond, it is very likely that others will follow suit and cut costs.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Next year is 1685 AD. In order to resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia, the Battle of Yaksa will begin.

In 1681, San Francisco had just been pacified;

In 1683, things in Taiwan were finally settled;

In 1688, Galdan was about to attack Monan, and Kangxi would also counterattack accordingly.

At this moment, the Qing government has cleared out almost all rebellions in the south, and the next focus will be moved to the north.

Under such a situation, how tight is military spending?

In the previous life, when Haifeng was twelve years old and married into Tuxie Tuhan tribe, in order to cover up the scandal of the sister's substitute marriage and Yi's marriage, the three sisters left the palace at the same time to open a palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was caught off guard and had no money at all. Kangxi secretly sold a batch of

There were extremely precious calligraphy and paintings in the inner treasury, and several brothers who were already independent at that time were ordered to collect dowries for the sisters. The dowries that were barely raised according to regulations were actually good-looking in appearance, but could not withstand scrutiny on the inside.

Perhaps out of guilt for Haifeng's marriage to Mobei, Kangxi also gave her 10,000 acres of rouge land in Qinghe, Mongolia as a private house.

As the daughter of the Empress Dowager, Princess Shuhui only had 50,000 acres of land in Qingcheng, Chengde.

This half-agricultural and half-pastoral land was of great help to Hai Feng, who had just integrated into life in Mobei.

Because Galdan provoked the war, the former pastures of the Tushetu Khan tribe were forced to become battlefields, and the herdsmen's lives were unsustainable.

Haifeng saw the right opportunity and took out this land to accommodate refugees, which made the entire tribe look at her in a new light.

Therefore, even though her grandfather Chahun Khan was dissatisfied with her in the following years even though she was unable to have children through contraception, he did not reprimand her harshly.

Always think of sometimes as no time, never think of no time as sometimes.

What are you afraid of if you wear something simple and shabby? Only when the battle is won can it be real.

In times of peace, when people recuperate and recuperate, wealth will naturally accumulate and the national treasury will be filled accordingly.

When the time comes, what Haifeng wants is more than just a few bolts of silk and hairpins. To be honest, ten thousand acres is not enough.

She wants 48,000 acres of fertile land as a dowry.
