Even though he promised to provide double salary to the technicians who came to Beijing, he was not willing to support idle people, so this connection was just right.
As for the Jin family and the outlaws of the Guo Luoluo family, let him go.
That is what the royal father should worry about.
He signaled Cao Shun to sit down, and when he was in the mood to chat, he said, "Didn't you go to pick up your daughter? Have you brought her back?"
Cao Shun nodded and said, "I've already asked someone to take it home."
Brother Jiu asked: "Then your marriage has been arranged?"
If you are alone, it won't matter if you don't have a daughter. But if you have a child, you have to have someone to take care of the housework.
She was the eldest daughter left by her original wife, and there was no reason for concubines to have intercourse with each other.
Cao Shun nodded and said, "Grandma made the decision and told me about the cousin of the Sun family."
Brother Jiu has been to Jiangning for weaving and knows about the Mrs. Sun of the Cao family.
He frowned slightly, feeling that his status was a bit low.
Sun's natal family is also a member of the Han army. Currently, the head of the family is working as a supervisor at the Guangzhou Customs and is a full-grade sixth-grade official.
I also sent birthday gifts to the prince's mansion this year, which was nothing special.
It's just that Cao Shun is a widower and the one he married is his step-brother, that's all.
Brother Jiu thought of going out, and said: "The day after tomorrow, I will take Fujin to Rehe. We are missing someone to coordinate the trip. Let's see if we should rest for a while or start together later..."
As he spoke, he felt that he was a little unkind.
Since Cao Shun came to his sect last year, he has never been idle. First he went from Jiangning to Beijing, then from Beijing to Yunnan, and then from Beijing to Jiangning.
There were only a few days in the capital.
Either on the road or on the road.
Cao Shun immediately said: "I'm not tired after taking the boat all the way this time. I can start working tomorrow."
This afternoon, he took his daughter to his old house to pay his respects to his parents. He had nothing else to do.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good. This time I went out for everyone to have a good time. You don't need to go too fast. It's important that you don't have to work hard. You can shoot and hunt on the road. After arriving at Rehe, we will probably stay there for ten years."
It's only half a month, what kind of entertainment is there? You, Erhe and Fu Qing can discuss it together to see if there are any good ideas. There is also Fujin's birthday in the meantime. When the official day comes, prepare to have a feast."
Cao Shun stood up, remembered, and bowed in response.
Brother Jiu thought of Gao Yanzhong and asked, "Has Lao Gao gone to the palace?"
Cao Shun nodded and said, "Well, I'll see you later after passing the sign."
It's a pity that Brother Ninth was born.
Gao Yanzhong is easier to use, but it is a waste to stay in the Prince's Mansion. If you are promoted, you will be promoted, and you will not go elsewhere. The doctor in the headquarters will still help him...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Gao Yanzhong stood bowed and looked at the floor tiles.
The Qianqing Palace is paved with gold bricks, which are not bricks made of real gold, but a brick-burning process with golden threads.
He thought of the luxury of Hangzhou's weaving yamen. Most of the items that caught his eye were foreign artifacts, which were not available to ordinary people. The weaving yamen only regarded them as ordinary.
It's not magnificent, it's better than the magnificent golden wall.
Although it is more convenient to guard the Hangzhou customs, it is nonsense to say that the Jin family has no involvement at all.
It’s hard to say whether Jin Yiren’s weaving experience in Hangzhou is a big deal. After all, the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs every year is considerable. The Hangzhou Customs Supervision, which is also a part of the Hangzhou Customs Supervision, is a big deal.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
The emperor doesn't care whether Jin Yiren is caught in the tax trap, but he has connections with the capital and has private dealings with other families, and the emperor won't tolerate it.
Kangxi looked at the investigation report jointly signed by Gao Yanzhong and Cao Yin, and was speechless for a long time.
Like the Dong family, the Jin family is also under the name of the Empress Dowager.
However, the Jin family's Hangzhou weaving business was not arranged by the Empress Dowager. It was the candidate chosen by Jin Yiren after he took office, namely Jin Yiren's Ama Jin Yuzhi.
When Jin Yuzhi passed away, his father died and his son replaced him. The eldest son Jin Yiren succeeded him.
What do you get in exchange for such trust and great kindness?
The Jin family and the Guo Luoluo family have long had an old friendship, and the two families have been in collusion for at least twenty years!
Kangxi put down the note, looked at Gao Yanzhong and said, "How does it look in the account book?"
Gao Yanzhong went to Jiangnan, apparently on an errand to verify the account books of Sanzhuang.
Gao Yanzhong knew that he was asking about the Hangzhou Weaving Yamen's accounts, and said: "There are three errors in the amount of money that came out of the warehouse, and there was also the loss of new silk by technicians. Some of it was inflated. It was written on it that it was due to the increase in the price of dyes and weavers."
, which is probably 2.5% higher than thirty-one years ago..."
In the 31st year of Kangxi's reign, it was a division of the Hangzhou Weaving Yamen.
Before that, it was Jin Yuzhi who was in charge of weaving in Hangzhou; after that, it was Jin Yiren who was in charge of weaving in Hangzhou.
Kangxi said: "What about Li Xiaocheng?"
This is Sanguan Bao's outer chamber, and he pretends to be a Liaodong citizen.
It's not entirely wrong to say it's risky, because his biological mother's surname is indeed Li, and she is a branch of the Li family of the Han army.
Perhaps it was to allow Li Xiaocheng to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, or for other reasons, that he did not join the banner.
Gao Yanzhong bowed and said: "In the early years, I sold silk outside the customs every year, and Shengjing rented a shop. This year, I didn't move. In addition to the silk and satin shop and the foreign goods shop, I also invested money in the spice ship of the maritime merchant. The property under my name is more than that of the government."
There are several times more red deeds found."
If the three official guards were still there, Kangxi would have people torture him.
What is a slave doing?
Even if I manage Jiangnan carefully, this is how they plan it.
How much money will this cost in the long run?
Did all this money go to Yuqing Palace?
Kangxi glanced in the direction of Yuqing Palace and couldn't tell what it felt like.
"Can you find out the interpersonal relationships between the Jin family and the capital?"
Kangxi said.
Gao Yanzhong lowered his head and said: "Jin Yiren has a sister, Xu Baoyi, from the Tang family, and his eldest niece, Tang, entered the Yuqing Palace in the 34th year as Princess."
Tang Gege from Yuqing Palace...
Kangxi heard this, probably because he had not given birth, and this person did not report to the imperial court.
But he ordered all the princesses in Yuqing Palace!
Why didn't he notice the connection?
It's unusual when you think about it. This brand of the Beautiful Girl of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will record the three generations of father, ancestor and great-grandfather. It will also record the surname of the biological mother, but it will not record the family name of the maternal family.
The surname of the Jin family is not uncommon among Baoyi people. There are several people under the Zuo collar of Goryeo who all have the surname Jin.
Kangxi thought of Suo'etu, and his eyes became gloomy.
Suo'etu originally served as the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau and was responsible for the small selection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It would be strange if this candidate did not have Suo Etu's handwriting.
Under his nose, such a clever trick was actually tricked by the lake.
Kangxi's face was tense and he couldn't tell what he felt.
He felt lucky that Suo'etu had been dealt with early. Otherwise, would this Forbidden City still be his Forbidden City in the long run?
Gao Yanzhong's head bowed even more.
Kangxi pondered and said: "Brother Ninth will leave Beijing on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and will not be in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the time being. You can find a name to arrange for the censor to impeach Brother Ninth for his carelessness..."
Gao Yanzhong was startled and quickly raised his head and looked at Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at him and asked, "Why, you don't dare? Are you afraid of offending the ninth elder brother?"
Gao Yanzhong knelt down with a "pop" and said sincerely: "Master, I really don't dare to do such a rebellious thing. If Master Jiu has any shortcomings, he has been taught by the emperor and master, so why should we, the slaves, question it?"
Kangxi's expression softened slightly and he said: "I will transfer the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau of Jin Yiren's Department..."
Gao Yanzhong immediately understood that this was to let him "invite others".
It was not to really impeach Brother Ninth, but to bring the Jin family back to Beijing and find a justifiable reason.
Gao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Jiuye is in charge of the internal affairs, but he is tired of his errands, arriving late and leaving early. He also allows him to run errands in various departments without arranging people to supervise and supervise him. This is really slack. It should be impeached as a warning."
Follow suit."
Kangxi snorted, quite satisfied with Gao Yanzhong's flexibility.
Just remember who is the real master.
Jin Yiren, the appointed director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was fictitious, but Gao Yanzhong was the future director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Kangxi had planned in his heart...

Ningshou Palace, main hall.
The Queen Mother ascended to the palace because the birthday gift from the emperor had arrived.
This year, it was Si Age who came to present birthday gifts, followed by officials from the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs carrying birthday gifts.
There is also this event every year, but it is not so grand.
This year marks the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, so it's different after all.
As officials from the Ministry of Rites sang, each birthday gift was carried in front of the Queen Mother.
There are Buddha statues, Imperial screens, Imperial Ruyi, Imperial turtles and cranes, as well as corals, chiming bells, dioramas and other tributes, all in pairs or single items, and the rest are court beads, materials, spices, and antiques.
, calligraphy and painting, etc., all use nine as the number, either one-nine or nine-nine.
Then there are the large handkerchief ninety-nine, the small handkerchief ninety-nine, the gold ninety-nine, the silver ninety-nine, and the six pommel horses.
There is also an imperial dining room with tens of thousands of grains of rice to cook rice with jade grains from all over the world. There are also nine dishes and nine plates of fruits.
The Queen Mother listened with a smile, bowed and nodded towards Qianqing Palace, which was regarded as accepting the emperor's favor.
After all the things were carried down, the Queen Mother asked the fourth elder brother to sit in front of her, looked at him and said, "Why are you taking on this job? Didn't the third elder brother come here in the past years?"
The fourth brother stood up and replied: "The third brother stopped walking in the Rites Department and went to Taichang Temple. Now there is no prince supervising the Rites Department, so Khan Amma ordered his grandson to come and present birthday gifts."
The Queen Mother thought of Si Fujin, who was also a sensible and caring person. She was raised in the palace when she was ten years old and was born in a respectable family. However, it would not be easy without Amma and brothers.
I took out the longevity lock and the tortoise bracelet that I found out, they are for Si Fujin and my little brother."
Aunt Bai responded and then came over with two brocade boxes.
The Queen Mother said to the fourth elder brother: "I asked someone to look through things yesterday, and I remembered the little elder brother from your family and the fifth family. That bracelet was for Si Fujin. She is a good one. You can't do it just because your father-in-law is gone.
Just be patient with her."
The old lady spoke bluntly, but she meant well.
The fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "My grandson doesn't dare. Fujin is my grandson's original wife. He has to produce heirs for my grandson and take care of the inner courtyard. It's a lot of hard work. It's not too late for my grandson to be grateful and he won't treat me lightly."
The Queen Mother's expression softened a little and said: "That's good, but you can't imitate those bastards outside who spoil their concubines and kill their wives. If your character is not good, the end will be bad..."
