Chapter 1,109 The Big Fool Ninth Brother

Brother Jiu didn't take the order and handed it to Shu Shu directly. His face looked a little ugly and he said, "Did someone cheat on the injured soldier Qian Mi?"

It is true that the Eight Banners were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but this foundation is no longer appropriate at the moment. The Green Camp is the pillar of stability in the world.

Shu Shu's family was in the Dutong Mansion, and he knew that the imperial court treated its soldiers very well, not only to the Eight Banners soldiers, but also to the Green Camp.

Every year, the money used by the imperial court to support soldiers accounted for 40% of taxes, which was military pay and pension money.

When she was on her southern tour last year and passed by Green Camp, she heard Xiao Song mention a specific pension policy.

If someone dies in battle, he will directly give his family a full salary for three years, and arrange for one of his sons to be enrolled in the military register for pay.

If there is no son, the parents and wife will live with half the salary.

If he is disabled, he will be given food as a soldier. I have seven and a half taels to thirty taels of money for Anjia, as well as three measures of rice every month until the end of my life.

Shu Shu said: "It's probably not that someone squandered the money, but that most of it was spent on medicine."

Three buckets of rice was barely enough to feed his family, but he could not feed his wife and children, nor could he take care of his illness.

When General Shi subsidizes the remaining soldiers, he should use the money to support his family or medicine.

No wonder I didn't have the nerve to find the Dutong Prefecture as a matchmaker. This is because I know that Brother Jiu has become rich, and people are stupid and have a lot of money, so they come here to "eat the rich".

Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Are you a fool? I'm just waiting for him to come and take over the big family!"

Shu Shu looked at the list above carefully.

Yongxing Tea Brick, Anyuan Tea, and Lushan Tea are three famous Jiangxi teas, as well as two edible products, Qianshan Xianggugan and Poyang Dried Shrimp, a famous Nanfeng Fan, and two specialties, Wannian Red Maowei and Xishan Gebu.

Shu Shu sighed, handed it to Brother Jiu and said, "They are all useful. Let's take a look."

Even though she knew she should set a rule and stop purchasing immediately, she couldn't bear to start with Mr. Shi.

Brother Jiu briefly looked at it, thought for a while, and said: "These are all tributes that are usually difficult to buy. Let's keep them. But this is the last time. I can't always be a big fool and insist on being stared at and chewed on."

A few mouthfuls.”

For a second-grade general soldier to do this for money, it also shows that he is an upright official.

Otherwise, how can we not scrape together several thousand taels of silver?

The couple had plenty of money, so they were not short of money and had no worries.

Shu Shu did not object and only said: "This is also misunderstood. They think that our family specializes in buying specialties from other places at high prices. Let He Yuzhu tell the public tomorrow that we are not short of anything and will not buy anything."

Brother Jiu nodded, glanced at Shu Shu, and said: "Don't worry, I know the importance of things. I still understand the principle of 'kindness comes first'."

He is not the eldest brother and does not need to run the military force.

These disabled and old soldiers are not only found in the Green Camp, but also in the Eight Banners. Now they have become the lowest level.

Compared with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Eight Banners needs workshops and factories to house these disabled veterans.

But he just thought about it and let it go.

As the same saying goes, if he is not in his position and does not seek to achieve his goals, this is not a problem that he should worry about.

Officials at the Ministry of War, as well as the Eight Banners Administrative Office, have their own people who should worry about this.

The next day, it was not He Yuzhu who went to the houses of these two adults, but Fu Song who brought the accountant there.

The Gao family only bought snuff bottles and agarwood, which were twice the market price, and then paid for them with a deduction of twelve taels of dendrobium.

[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-changing App as soon as possible. 】

Yes, Fusong came here today and brought two cans of dendrobium.

Including yesterday's jar, there are twelve taels of dendrobium.

If you have no relatives or friends, it is better to keep the accounts clear, so when you settle the accounts, you should include yesterday's account.

Gao Chengjue, the governor of Guangdong, who has now been transferred to the governor of Anhui, said hurriedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. I just wanted to ask for medicine, so I bothered Master Jiu."

It seems that the governors of the two provinces were transferred at the same level, but from the remote Guangdong and Guangxi to Jiangnan, it was considered a promotion.

Fusong, however, was not polite. He straightened his chin and said coldly: "Master Gao, don't shirk it. Mr. Jiu said it, just these two times, there will be no fourth time."

Governor Gao talked.

He really didn't go there for the "double price", but he also knew Brother Jiu's scruples and didn't want to be suspected of blackmailing the courtiers.

Fortunately, he brought back only one kilogram of agarwood and only five snuff bottles, otherwise the money would have been too much to handle.

After converting it into silver, he was asked to come up with another one or two or eight coins to make up for Shi Hu's account.

After that, Fusong went to Shi's house again.

This time I bought a lot more things, almost everything on the list.

When he met Shi Ruhuang, Fusong also had a bad expression, and still looked arrogant, saying: "Master Jiu said that this is the last time he comes to the Lord. It is true that Master Jiu has money, but he is not a big fool. Lord Shi."

It’s not kind to take advantage of others’ misfortune!”

Shi Ruhuang felt heavy in his heart as he held the 4,800 taels of banknotes.

He went there to take advantage, but he didn't expect Brother Jiu to actually charge double the price and wrap these things up!

I just want it to be higher than the consignment price, which is good.

He felt his hands were burning, and was about to think of some excuse to retreat when Fusong had already mounted his horse and was calling people to leave.

Brother Jiu had suffered such a "big loss", so he had to report it to the emperor.

He took the two lists and went directly to Qingxi Bookstore to see them.

The position of Gao has been decided, but the position of Shi has not yet been decided.

If his future was delayed because of this matter, then he really couldn't bear it.

He had been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, and he finally understood that there were so many corrupt officials.

Even if you are not greedy, you can still lose a lot if you change your methods.

It is very rare to find someone like Shi Ruhuang who is not very greedy and looks poor.

Kangxi didn't know that the ninth elder brother was "purchasing" with two local officials again, so he was surprised to hear that the ninth elder brother came to see him.

I originally thought that Ninth Prince, who was always squeamish, would take a few days off as an excuse to recuperate.

"Pass it on!"

He nodded and said to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong responded and brought people in.

Brother Ninth had a somewhat honest face and held two folded pages in his hand.

Kangxi saw his guilty conscience and was very puzzled. What was going on?

I went out for half a day yesterday and called the imperial doctor in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to go out and wander around anymore.

Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi sincerely and said: "Khan Ama, my son is here to admit his mistake."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "What did you do again?"

Brother Jiu drooped his head: "My son seems to be driving up prices. I heard that the prices of dendrobium and panax notoginseng in the city have increased in the past few days. If this delays ordinary people's medication, then it is really my son's fault."

Kangxi: "..."

It's true that it works well, but Brother Jiu doesn't have that much influence in the capital yet.

On the other hand, he was told that the imperial doctor prepared dendrobium tea, and he has been drinking it these days. He also mentioned the health-preserving effects of dendrobium to several ministers.

This time, it seems that Brother Jiu has taken the blame...

Seeing that Brother Ninth felt really guilty, Kangxi felt quite strange. He coughed lightly and said, "It was an unintentional mistake on your part. Just change it..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "My son has a long memory. There is no fourth time. If someone comes to hand over a post, he will directly return the post and tell the person that there is nothing to buy. If they bring something good again,

If you want to exchange money, you can go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs it, it will be settled according to the market price."

Kangxi sensed something was wrong, pointed at his hand and said, "Is this the second time or the third time?"

Brother Jiu did not deny it, handed over the two orders, and said: "It was my son who directly intercepted and bought the earth ceremony. I guess he was misunderstood. I thought about canceling the post directly, but it turned out that there was an inside story after I inquired about it."

, my son became soft-hearted."

As he said that, he talked about how he received the post yesterday and later asked He Yuzhu to cancel the post.

Needless to say, filial sons need not be mentioned here. Everyone has parents. The shortage of dendrobium does have something to do with Jiu Age.

Regarding Mr. Shi, Brother Jiu said a few more words.

"I should have directly established the rules, but my son couldn't bear it for a moment. He is also a second-grade official. He can't let others fail if he shamelessly fights Qiu Feng..."

Kangxi's face turned dark as he listened.

I have only heard of princes and nobles blackmailing ministers, but I have never heard of ministers "blackmailing" the prince's brother in return!

No matter what stance you take, this is disrespectful.

He looked at Brother Ninth and frowned: "Since you knew you were taking advantage, you just kicked him out. Why are you still condoning it?"

Brother Jiu said: "It's not too indulgent. My son asked Fu Song to go over and train someone. I made it clear to that person and there will be no next time."

Kangxi: "..."

So after giving me the money, I still have to add extravagance to the matter, and the favor has not been lost yet?!

He looked at Brother Ninth and muttered: "This is a member of the Crown Princess's tribe. Are you concerned about the favor of the Crown Princess?"

Brother Jiu knew that it was easier to nod at this time, but he still shook his head and said: "My son thinks that although this person is thick-skinned, he is not a corrupt official, and he is also a rare person. He was born in a noble family and is used to being rich. How can he still think about ordinary things?"

The livelihood of a pawn, I am willing to put down my face and career and come to camp..."

"It's just this time. If you suffer a loss, take advantage of it. Just like burning incense and praying to Buddha, accumulate blessings and bless Khan Ama to live forever, the royal grandmother to be immortal, the empress to live to a hundred years, and also bless Fengsheng and the others to have a good life.

big……"

Kangxi listened, his expression softened slightly, and said: "Those remnant soldiers are not old soldiers of the Green Camp. They are the armored ones who were born under the Shi family. If the Green Camp soldiers were all born in the same place, they would not follow them back to the capital..."

Brother Jiu looked surprised.

"That's the slave he raised for himself!?"

There was a tangle on his face, and he felt like he was letting the other party take advantage.

Kangxi looked at him, snorted coldly, and said: "If you inquire about something with only a little knowledge, you will make random decisions."

Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Then why is it so shabby? He Yuzhu inquired yesterday and said that those people's food and money were provided by the Shi family. If the servants of this household have made contributions, can't they open an account? To open an account, you need to divide the house and the flag field.

, why do you still need to subsidize the food and drink from your master?"

It is also an old custom of the Eight Banners to have servants under the household.

For example, Komatsu's Ama Heishan was born as a servant.

Kangxi's face was not good-looking. It was clearly stipulated in the "Eight Banners Shulu" that flag properties were not allowed to be resold, but he clearly remembered the registration documents of the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household.

There has been a sale of flag properties for a long time.

More and more people have lost their property and become poor households in the capital. Their livelihood is difficult. Those who are fed by their masters are lucky...
