Chapter 1,261 The Ninth Prince Enlightened the Monthly Ticket)
Although Kangxi complained to Liang Jiugong, he really took this matter to heart.
The "secular officials" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are indeed a hidden danger.
For example, the Jin family of Zhizao Mansion in Hangzhou were his slaves who were promoted by him. They were very trustworthy and did not replace them for many years for the sake of stability. As a result, they turned out to be the disaster of betraying their masters.
If you want to deal with it, it's all in the way and you have to go around in circles.
There is also the Fucha family who has lost their status. They were originally criminals, but they became big worms by relying on the Suo'etu.
After adding a minister in charge of the court, he can arrange supervision of the clan and bodyguards. If the minister is replaced every three or two years, it will not be easy for malpractice to occur.
We didn't touch the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we just found a current manager for them.
What happens after all the power is dispersed and lazy?
What do you want to do?
Kangxi was very curious.
It’s just that I can’t take care of this matter at the moment. There is a lawsuit going on in the river. Regarding the Yongding River construction, there will be a patrol the day after tomorrow. There are still many government affairs to be dealt with today and tomorrow...
*
Brother Jiu also received a message from Ma Qi and knew that he would discuss the matter after the Holy Master visited the Yongding River.
This time, after the sage's tour of the Yongding River, he will then visit the mausoleum, which will take more than half a month, and he will not be able to return to Beijing until around Laba.
Brother Ninth was no longer in a hurry, but he still had some time to spare, so he took a pen and paper and divided the yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs into three categories.
The first type is those who are busy with errands and cannot be interfered with by foreign officials. This type can only be chosen by the Minister of Internal Affairs.
For example, Guangchu Department, Construction Department, Qingfeng Department, Construction Office, etc.
The first type has complete rules, the errands are important, and there is no need for others to make trouble.
For example, the Accounting Department, the Punishment Department, the Ceremony Department, the Duyu Department, etc.
The rest are errands that can be handed over, which are easy to make mistakes and are suitable for the imperial staff to keep an eye on.
For example, Shangsiyuan, Wubeiyuan, Imperial Tea Kitchen, Imperial Pharmacy, Wuying Palace Book Repair Office, Imperial Book Office, etc.
In the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had a large number of personnel, and after dividing it like this, the responsibilities will be clear.
After finishing all this, Brother Jiu felt a little unsure, so he folded the straw paper and stuffed it into his purse.
Today, Shengjia is in the palace, but Brother Jiu still maintains the rule of going to the Yamen at the beginning of the year.
Shen Chu came out of the Yamen and the palace through Xihua Gate. In less than two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Shu Shu took the time to come back from Ning'an Hall.
When Brother Ninth came back, he took out the papyrus in his purse and gave it to Shu Shu. He then told me about his plan to appoint additional ministers in charge of the hospital, and then said: "This is how I divided it. Please help me see if there is anything wrong with it."
There is no…”
Regarding the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are not many traces left in history.
Shu Shu only knew that it was changed in the Thirteenth Yamen of the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, he knew more about it because of his ninth elder brother.
More than four thousand officials...
It's no different from a small imperial court.
For a person with the status of Ninth Prince, who is about to seize the throne again, decentralization is better than centralization.
She took the tissue paper, opened it, and looked at it, her heart filled with confusion.
Is this a mistake?
Or is your brain enlightened?!
Shangsiyuan is responsible for the husbandry and supply of horses and camels used by the royal family and the palace; the Military Biyuan is responsible for the manufacture and supply of related items such as royal weapons and official weapons.
Under the Armed Forces Academy, there are two small departments: the fowling department and the inner gunpowder storehouse.
These two places are simply terrible.
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he pointed to the back and said: "Sir, this Military Academy is similar to the Construction Department and the Internal Construction Office. They are both places where things are made. Why did you leave those two places but not this one?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's useless to keep it. There will be no room for additional revenue in the future. Everything made in this place is for military use, such as saddles, tents, leather armor, bows, arrows, etc., which are either for guards or for military camps. , it is still the place where people are most likely to find fault, let Khan Amma arrange for guards to take care of it."
When the time comes, let’s see how picky they are and let them choose on their own!
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and felt that his luck had doubled.
Pushing out everything related to weapons and equipment must be in line with Kangxi's wishes.
She looked at the Imperial Tea Room and the Imperial Pharmacy.
The so-called imperial dining room means the imperial dining room plus the imperial tea room. They have not been separated yet and are regarded as one institution.
Needless to say, the Imperial Pharmacy is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and reserves various patent medicines and high-quality medicinal materials.
Officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs mainly serve as treasury managers and clerical envoys.
These two yamen are both in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace.
Although they are all imported items, in fact the influence of the Imperial Tea Room is not that big.
Because there are many rules for the presentation of imperial meals and imperial tea, it is not easy to tamper with them.
On the contrary, in the Imperial Pharmacy, one can infer Kangxi's physical condition through the medicines shipped out of the Imperial Pharmacy.
In this place, even though the stalls are tight, you still have the opportunity to take a peek.
It's good to push out.
"Sir, isn't the Royal Pharmacy open to the public?" Shu Shu asked.
This extrapolation is contrary to what Jiu Age said just now.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't plan to sell imperial medicine to Mongolia anymore. Don't use the word "imperial" too many times. It's not worth using it too much, and it will also damage the majesty of Khan Ama..."
Shu Shu was truly impressed.
You know, starting from the year before last, and ending in Xiaotangshan last year, several transactions handled by Brother Jiu were all under the Kangxi imperial brand.
Only at Jiangning Weaving House, cashmere has not yet been officially launched, so there is no signboard.
"Why did you think of this? But Master Ma mentioned it?"
Thinking that Brother Jiu said he would meet Ma Qi today, Shu Shu asked.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I realized it myself..."
As he said that, he talked about how to greet the prince in the morning.
"At first glance, it looks like bright yellow. This is the color Suo'etu chose. The prince was still in his infancy and didn't know anything. Was Suo'etu still ignorant? The Suo'etu family is a civil servant family in the Eight Banners. Several generations of I, who serves the court, feel that Suo'etu is the second Grandma Liu, and she is hiding a traitor in her heart..."
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "Mama Liu had bad intentions at that time and wanted to sow discord between the two of us so that she could take advantage of your direct descendant Fujin and continue to dominate the two; Suo'etu was trying to sow discord between the two of us. The relationship with the prince, the reason why the prince trusts and relies on the Hesheli family is the same, it is just based on his own little calculation..."
"Suo'etu's death is a blessing for the prince. Otherwise, if he were left to mix things up, who knows what the situation would be like..."
Shu Shu didn't expect Brother Jiu to have such a feeling when he came to greet him.
She was not stingy with her praise and said: "I'm absolutely right. I'm not talking about anyone else. I'm just talking about you. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs has another deputy general manager, would you be happy?"
"unwilling!"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I would rather send out errands than have multiple palm prints. Isn't this waiting for me to step down? It sounds unlucky..."
As he spoke, he stopped abruptly, looked at Shu Shu, and lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid Khan Amma won't be happy either. If the prince is thinking about ascending the throne, isn't he just looking forward to Khan Amma?"
Shu Shu didn't answer, and there was no need to answer.
In the past two years, she has made several insinuations about "the father, the father and the son are strong", but it was too much.
Brother Ninth also knew about these taboos, but he couldn't help but whisper to Shu Shu: "I feel more at ease now, I'm just looking forward to it, anyone can do it."
Shu Shu whispered: "The emperor has always valued health preservation. Needless to say, there will be four generations living under the same roof in the royal family. It is impossible to say that there will be a grand scene of five generations living under the same roof. By then, Fengsheng and the others will have their own families. Let's make a clear decision.
It would be nice to have a noble clan."
Brother Jiu calculated the ages of Prince Da Gege of Zhi County and Akedun, the eldest grandson of the emperor. He nodded and said: "It's true that in more than twenty years, those two will have grandchildren. Khan Ama is only in his late teens.
Definitely caught up..."
He immediately put these things aside.
Don't worry, let Fengsheng worry about it when the time comes.
The next day, the tenth elder brother also started to go to the clan mansion.
The two brothers came in and came out together.
Others have long been used to it.
Not long after Brother Ninth arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and drank two cups of tea, someone came in front of the emperor.
Wei Zhu brought a second-class guard over and brought the imperial edict.
This imperial edict is not for Jiu Age, but for Hangzhou Weaver.
According to the content of the imperial edict, Hangzhou Weaving Jin Yiren was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On the day of receiving the edict, he immediately went to Beijing to take up his post.
"Jiuye, the emperor sent someone to Hangzhou Weaving Mansion to pass the decree, asking Master Jiu to choose a doctor or a member of the family to follow him, and temporarily take over the weaving work in Hangzhou, waiting for the new weaver to be selected before returning to the capital..."
Wei Zhu passed down the oral edict of Kangxi.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu knew that he was going to take action against the Jin family.
People who live in the capital must be reliable and trustworthy, and will not be bribed.
Hangzhou Weaving is a good place, and this temporary Hangzhou Weaving can also be considered a good place.
The yamen in Hangzhou don't know that this is temporary, so they will pay due tribute.
If we want to say that there is someone who Brother Jiu trusts and who is capable, it is Gao Yanzhong.
But right now, Gao Yanzhong cannot be chosen.
He was the one who went to Cha Jin's house in Jiangnan. If he went there at this time, he would be hated by others.
Apart from Gao Yanzhong, there are not many people Jiu Age can choose.
He didn't hesitate, and directly called Zhang Baozhu over in a written form, saying: "There is a foreigner who needs Mr. Zhang to go to Hangzhou. Mr. Zhang, please go home and pack your luggage!"
Haha, Mr. Zhang also has the identity of a prince and father-in-law, so those officials and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan will definitely want to fawn over him.
The more the merrier.
Anyway, it was just a temporary appointment, and he accepted it after accepting the filial piety. Later, when Khan Ama selected a new Hangzhou weaving company, Zhang Baozhu returned to Beijing.
I hope Mr. Zhang will be more knowledgeable and remember to make up for the dowry for Sister-in-law Five after her luggage is abundant.
Thinking about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, Brother Jiu added, "I will bring four of you in writing to help you. If there are more people in the family, I will bring more people to avoid not having enough people."
Zhang Baozhu was at a loss. When he saw the eunuchs and guards in front of the emperor, he hesitated whether to ask.
Afraid that the news would be leaked, Brother Ninth did not ask him to temporarily do the weaving work in Hangzhou. He only said: "There are imperial guards who will follow me to Hangzhou. I will tell you the specific errands when the time comes..."
Zhang Baozhu listened and didn't ask any questions. He agreed honestly and went home to pack his luggage.
On the same day, Zhang Baozhu followed the imperial officials out of Beijing to Hangzhou.
Therefore, the northern section of the canal has stopped, so they have to go overland to Shandong and then switch to the canal.
The next day, the Holy Spirit patrolled the Yongding River, accompanied by the eldest brother, the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother...
