Kangxi was sitting with milk tea in his hand, looking at the drawings of the palace and thinking about the layout of the palace.
This milk tea is brewed with milk tea powder made by Yu Shanfang. It tastes good and is no worse than brewed with fresh milk.
There are two large palaces, four medium-sized palaces, and four or five small ones, which are enough to soak in the hot springs.
There are the most springs here, and a barracks has been expanded next to it, so that the guards and guards can be accommodated.
It’s too late this year, but look like this, you can move in next year.
When Kangxi heard that the ninth elder brother asked for an audience, Kangxi nodded and called.
He thought that Brother Jiu was here to show his merit. After all, such a big palace was a big deal. It had only been one year since the plan to raise money last year, and the achievements were outstanding and worthy of pride.
As a result, Brother Ninth came in with no pride on his face, but rather with a sense of embarrassment.
Kangxi thought about what happened in the palace and said, "Did the third elder brother ask the Ma family?"
It is not the ninth elder brother who can make the decision. There is no point in asking the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu nodded and shook his head: "Third brother just asked a few questions, but this is not why my son came..."
Having said this, he saw the palace drawings, pointed to a building not far from the gate, and said: "My son came here for this palace..."
Kangxi lowered his head and said, "Is there something wrong with the construction?"
We just started browsing here, and didn't notice any difference. There are just more rooms, and there are more areas that need painting outside, so it looks like the degree of completion is lower.
Brother Jiu said directly: "Khan Ama, this palace together with the three auxiliary palaces behind it is estimated to cost 16,500 taels of silver."
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and didn't understand why he mentioned this amount.
When you distributed the money to everyone first, wasn't the cost of building the palace deducted?
The ninth elder brother drooped his head and said: "At that time, the silver was not calculated according to the total number. Except for the twelfth elder brother and the three younger ones, everyone else shared the palace. The most silver was consumed here, and it was the master of the palace.
The palace is left to the prince..."
As a result, the money retreated, and there was a deficit here.
Even if he doesn't have much money, he can make up for it, but that's not the case.
After hearing this, Kangxi frowned and said, "What did you think when you withdrew the money from Yuqing Palace?"
Brother Jiu told the truth, "I didn't think about anything. I was just holding back my anger and sent someone back directly."
Kangxi looked at him, his expression unchanged and said: "What are your plans now?"
"I need a debt..."
Brother Jiu whispered: "Is there any other choice? Next year, the sons will present together, so there will be one missing prince. This is outrageous!"
Kangxi glared at him and said: "It's all in vain to think it through now. When I came up with this idea last year, I told everyone the truth. How could there be so much movement?"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "When my son has a good idea, he is willing to share the profits with his brothers. Isn't this because he is afraid that someone will support him and make him unable to drink the soup? He has to carry the pot!"
Kangxi said angrily: "You're too narrow-minded, it's just a calculation!"
Brother Jiu was unconvinced and said: "Why are you just making small calculations? Isn't it because my son is young? Brothers should be respectful. If the son is the eldest, it will be easier. They will all be obedient and my son will not be verbose!"
Kangxi sneered: "You are the only one who still wants to be the boss? When things happen, you are irritable and careless, and you have to worry about others!"
Brother Jiu immediately said: "That's what my son said. I don't deserve to be treated as a free person. Now my ranking is high. My son still wants to be the youngest son. In the future, he won't be able to do errands. He won't lose the silver reward. He will take it with him when he goes on patrol."
, and I’ll reward you with something good or something every three or five times!”
Kangxi said: "Whose youngest son is like that?"
The ninth elder brother looked at Kangxi with a bit of sadness and said: "The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, seeing that there are also the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother..."
The princes all grow up little by little.
The eighth elder brother in front of him has all enjoyed the treatment of a young son, including being given the privilege of going on tours, being awarded the honorary title, and being given the title of nobility.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers later also enjoyed it in the past two years.
There were only two of him and the tenth prince, and nothing happened.
There is also a little Twelve who is so pitiful that it’s embarrassing to even mention it.
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "Khan Ama, let me discuss something with you. When I go out to patrol my son in the future, you can also come here. Look at the drought, drought and waterlogging...
"
Kangxi looked at him and said, "Would you be willing to appoint you as a guard?"
How can a person who has to travel more than ten miles by car endure traveling thousands of miles when on patrol?
Brother Jiu said: "Of course. At the end of the year, there are a lot of days where I can see Khan Ama all day long. It's finally come to a time when father and son can be together day and night. But it's not the turn. How can it not make people feel sad?
…”
He felt that he still had some dignity in the imperial court. The reason why he did not go on the two northern tours last year and this year was probably because there was no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He said: "Khan Amma, when you are free, please appoint two more managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or pick two more senior doctors from below, so that your son can let go of his hands and no longer need to be tied down.
With."
At present, neither Ma Qi nor Hayartu can spare his hands to take care of the general affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The former is a bachelor and the Minister of Household Affairs, and the latter is the censor of Zuodu, the Imperial Procuratorate.
As of now, Brother Jiu is the one taking the lead.
The identity of the twelfth elder brother is enough, but the ninth elder brother does not want to push him to the forefront.
He is too young, and even those in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will look at him.
I like to be sour, and I have had several attacks, which makes them more afraid. As for the twelfth brother, let's just wait and accumulate credit, there is no need to confront these wrappers.
Regarding the matter of increasing the number of general managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ninth Prince has mentioned it before.
Kangxi also remembered it in his heart, nodded and said: "I have written this down, no need to dwell on it anymore."
Brother Jiu thought of the business and said with some hesitation: "My son will go directly to Yuqing Palace to ask for these sixteen thousand five hundred taels of silver?"
Kangxi nodded and said: "Go!"
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said, "How about my son lists out the bills and has them collected?"
Kangxi looked at him, half-smiling but not smiling.
Brother Jiu lowered his head and said, "My son knows, that's disrespectful."
The prince and the princess can send people to them, but it would be disrespectful for them to go there like that.
Kangxi didn't show it on his face, but he was quite satisfied in his heart.
No matter what time, you should follow the rules, so that mistakes are less likely to happen.
Brother Ninth didn’t want to say any more, he just came over to report.
Later, if the prince is not willing to take the money, or takes it reluctantly, haha, then there will be a joke.
He said: "Khan Ama, please have a rest while my son goes over to have a few words with Fifth Brother."
Kangxi listened and nodded, becoming more and more satisfied.
Father and brother, father and brother, father is in front and brother is behind.
The ninth elder brother stepped back from the imperial palace, grabbed someone to question, and went to the place where the fifth elder brother stayed.
Halfway through, he bumped into Brother Wu.
The fifth elder brother heard that the ninth elder brother was going to the imperial court. He was worried and came to visit.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
The ninth elder brother just saw the fifth elder brother and wanted to ask: "Did you get sick on the road? Why did you lose weight?"
The fifth elder brother used to be richer. Before, his chin was almost three layers. Now it is two and a half layers, and his eyes look clearer.
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.
Brother Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What on earth is going on?"
Prince, brother, what else can I be wronged about?
Or do you have any quarrels with other brothers?
The fifth elder brother sighed, shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's just that after I left the capital, Khan Ama stopped me from riding in a carriage. I had to ride a horse the whole time."
Brother Jiu was speechless and said: "That is enough suffering."
Especially this trip outside the fortress is different from heading northeast. There is no road at all, so horse racing is more difficult than usual.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "This is Khan Amma's compassion. I am worried about your health, Brother Five, so I am taking care of you like this."
The fifth elder brother also knew the good news, nodded, and said wiltedly: "I know, just take care of it."
Even through suffering, the roots of my thighs were worn out.
Brother Ninth Brother said again: "Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and in about ten days, my nephew will be one month old. Congratulations to Brother Five."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Are you good-looking or fair?"
Brother Jiu said: "I haven't seen him. I, Fujin, said that I and Akdan are like brothers."
When the fifth elder brother heard this, a well-behaved and clever child appeared in his mind. He had a general impression and couldn't help but grinned and said: "The emperor's grandmother must be happy. At the end of the year, he will take him to the palace to pay her respects."
The ninth elder brother has been an Ama for half a year and has experience. He immediately shook his head and said: "No, the baby is delicate and fragile. How can I just carry him out? He must be raised until he is half a year old and can sit up before he can carry him out."
The fifth elder brother really didn't know this. When he heard this, he said: "Then Akdan is half a year old. Has he been carried into the palace to pay his respects to the imperial grandmother and the empress?"
Brother Jiu said: "I haven't been vaccinated. It's better to see few new people. There are so many emperors and grandsons in the younger generation, so it's not like the whole palace is running around!"
The fifth elder brother knew this and nodded: "That's right. Before Hongsheng was vaccinated, he didn't go out much."
Normally, Brother Ninth would have to say a few words about the difference between concubine and concubine, so he doesn't want to mention it now.
He thought of Hongluo Temple.
This time he came to Tangshan and did not go to Huairou, but he still remembered the bamboo in Hongluo Temple.
He said: "You have added an elder brother, and then you have to look at the fourth brother. If you also add an elder brother, the Guanyin Bamboo will definitely be the same as last year, and it will be hot for a while. You can be more thoughtful, don't
My hands are astigmatized, so don’t even give the pot away. After spring, the hair on your lower head starts to grow and the shoots start to branch, so just give it to that one."
The fifth elder brother nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, cover it tightly and won't give it to anyone."
Who cares about having too many sons?
With a legitimate son, I am naturally looking forward to the next one.
Well, everyone has a competitive spirit.
Everyone else has two legitimate sons, and he also wants two legitimate sons.
It would be even better if there were three of them, the first among brothers.
He had some expectations. When Khan Amma pointed out Fujin to him, in addition to good character and good looks, Fujin also had three younger brothers, which was only slightly less than the ninth younger brother and sister...
