Forty-eight thousand acres.
This is the conclusion reached by Haifeng after precise measurements and calculations on the banks of the Qing River in his previous life.
This number is the most reasonable if we want to feed all the refugees in the Tushetu Khan tribe until they have enough food and clothing.
The 10,000 acres of rouge land were sandwiched between several pastures owned by Mongolian princes in southern Mongolia, and the joints had to be cleared in order to get in and out. Naturally, the refugees were not picky, but Haifeng secretly observed that they always felt a little constrained by being under someone else's fence.
If she wanted to do whatever she wanted, she would have to take several pieces of land together, connect them into one area, and let her manage them herself.
In the six years since she got married, this is what Haifeng wants to accomplish most.
To do this, she must show that as a married princess, she has a net worth of 48,000 acres of fertile land.
Obtaining Xiaozhuang's approval is the first step.
Hai Feng secretly glanced at Tong Guowei's Fujin, knowing that she had understood Xiaozhuang's intention.
When communicating in the palace, one must understand the underlying meaning.
Hesheli listened to the eldest princess's advice. She had been in and out of the palace for a long time, and she already understood that the Empress Dowager was actually asking the powerful and powerful people in the capital to donate military expenses in a disguised manner.
These sixty horses of valuable material were just a way of attracting good news. To express their gratitude, the Tong family had to return double the amount.
Three days later, the Empress Dowager set off for Mulan, and the princes and nobles naturally had to present Cheng Yi.
The Tong family was carrying the flag because of their relatives, so their position in the Eight Banners was awkward. If the Tong family overwhelmed everyone else in Cheng Yi, the face-loving family of the founding hero would not be happy to see it, and they would probably increase the number several times to maintain their status.
Prince Gong, the biological father of the eldest princess, took the lead again, and the others who were watching naturally followed.
What a powerful means, it can make a big difference.
No wonder Si Ge Ge dressed so plainly.
The Hershey family came from a wealthy and famous family and did not care too much about external things.
"It's really shameful that the eldest princess and Si Gege are so sensible at such a young age. But don't you two feel aggrieved? Everything on the road is inconvenient."
Haifeng quickly helped the eldest princess play the drum.
"Thank you, Fujin, for thinking about me. There are only six people around me. It's really uneasy for me to occupy only one carriage and horse."
Facts have proved that if the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are on the same page, the work efficiency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be extremely high.
After her uncle told Xiaozhuang her second request on the seventh day of the lunar month, she sent the order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs unchanged that day.
On July 15th, a total of twenty-eight six-year-old girls from Baoyi's family in Shangsanqi were brought to Haifeng.
She recognized A Xiang, the future palace maid, at a glance.
This girl is even worse off than Haifeng, who grew up in an orphanage without a father or mother.
When Axiang was at home, like all the girls in ordinary Manchu families, she never had a name and was only called Siniu.
When she entered the palace at the age of eleven and began to serve Haifeng, the fourth girl from Xilinjueluo's family was dark, thin, and small in stature, but she was willing to do any rough and detailed work.
In her own words, compared with serving the five men in the family, serving the fourth princess is like playing a game.
Ah Xiang's ancestors also had a good time, but they gradually fell into disrepair in the hands of her Ama. He only became an ordinary guard at Nanyuan Palace, but his heart was higher than the sky. He thought that he was not born at the right time, otherwise he should have been granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
The family is extremely wealthy.
There is no young master's life, but there is the young master's illness.
Axiang's Ama gambled and promiscuous, worked as an actor, and had a huge salary. She also married three concubines and gave birth to five boys and six girls, which filled up the small old house.
When she didn't have enough food and clothing, she borrowed money from relatives and old acquaintances. In the end, even loan sharks walked around her house. There was no other way. The female relatives supplemented their income by working day and night to help other people with embroidery and patchwork and even wash clothes.
As soon as she got rich, she was taken away by scoundrels who came to collect debts, or her mother or her five brothers who had similar skills used her to slap her in the face and pretend to be the boss, treat her to drink wine and sleep with women.
From the moment Haifeng knew that she was going to marry in Mobei, she tried her best to let the maids around her go home.
If she was taken to Mongolia as a dowry by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she would probably never be able to return to the capital or see her parents for the rest of her life, which was really against human ethics. She would rather choose some new people from the Eight Banners of Mongolia to take her there.
Among all the people who served Haifeng, Axiang was the only one who refused to go home.
She kept kowtowing in the yard and begged the fourth princess not to let her continue to live a life worse than death.
Only then did everyone realize that not a penny of the monthly silver she had taken since entering the palace had been left behind, and it had all filled up the bottomless pit of her mother.
Hai Feng married into Tuxie Tuhan tribe, and Ah Xiang served him faithfully for six years.
Ah Xiang once told her that at a young age, she had seen how miserable the wrong people could be, and her only wish was to remain unmarried and serve her purely for the rest of her life.
When Duobu first got married to her, he was very reckless, his hands were too strong and not too heavy, and Haifeng's cold white skin was the easiest to leave marks. After the couple had sex, the new purple on the body often overcame the old green, which was horrible to look at.
Axiang cried and bathed her, saying that she was willing to give her innocent body to serve her husband.
On the day of the surprise attack by the Junggar cavalry, Axiang helped Haifeng block at least three arrows.
And now, she was following Haifeng properly, wearing a newly made green gauze palace dress, looking slightly uneasy because she was not familiar with the rules.
In addition to Axiang, Haifeng also selected a girl named Shutai from the Fucha family.
The fact that she, as a daughter, has a name is enough to illustrate the problem.
Sure enough, when I asked, her family planned to keep her at home to recruit a son-in-law because they had no son, and raised her as a boy. Shutai was well-spoken, well-spoken, and even good-looking. Haifeng looked more agreeable than Chang Zai.
some.
More importantly, she and Aunt Fucha seem to have some indirect kinship.
In recent days, Haifeng has relied heavily on the new people around him, especially this Aunt Fucha.
She is about forty years old and was born in Zhenghuangqi. Several of her brothers in the family are old errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I also served as a palace maid when I was young. This time I was specially recruited to serve Si Gege. Therefore, this person has good etiquette and rules at his fingertips.
After years of hearing about things in the palace, there is nothing that cannot be said. However, she never talks much about gossip, and only talks about what is necessary. For this alone, Haifeng admires her greatly.
The eunuch in charge Zhang Shun and his apprentice Fugui both came from the Qianqing Palace, that is, Liang Jiugong. Their qualifications and abilities are more than enough to be the general manager of any concubine's palace.
As for the most critical nuns, the nanny in charge and the nun in charge, one was Aunt Fucha who was personally appointed by Kangxi, and the other was officially designated by Xiaozhuang to use Sai Lun.
The two of them were both civil and military, active and quiet, dealing with such trivial matters around her. Haifeng even felt that it was a waste of human resources.
With such an attitude, Haifeng knew that Kangxi was indeed, as she had calculated, beginning to be attracted to her youngest daughter.
It's far from enough.
Haifeng wanted to be like a prince and have the energy to shake Kangxi.
Just like how Emperor Yongzheng framed her mother in his previous life and forced his way to protect Concubine Tong who murdered the prince.
