Chapter 1358 Illness (wowling and asking for monthly votes)
Kangxi's face showed no emotion or anger, he just said: "Cao Quan didn't refuse?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Whether the other party is an in-law or a third-grade official who took the initiative to marry his daughter, Cao Quan couldn't think of anything else. There were outsiders at the reception banquet for Sun Wencheng. Cao Shun was anxious and didn't dare to say anything. That day
So I went to find my son. The son thought that the matter was over, Cao Shuo was still young, so he didn't delay anything, so he asked Cao Shun to be calm and calm."
Kangxi's impression of Cao Quan was that he was a dandy who did not do his job properly.
On the contrary, I have a good impression of Cao Quan's eldest son, Cao Shun.
As expected of a child taught by Cao Yin, he is reliable and has a strict mouth.
He was Cao Yin's heir at first, but after Cao Yin had his own son, he was still able to keep his nephew by his side, and the uncle and nephew got along well with each other without any resentment, which is very rare.
As for the Jin family getting married everywhere...
Kangxi was not annoyed, but looked forward to it and said, "Let him go and ignore it. Does he have other actions?"
The ninth elder brother thought of the eighth elder brother's treat, but he couldn't talk about it.
It is okay to file a complaint against an outsider, but not against a brother.
If brothers are involved, trouble will easily arise, and it will also be easy to involve Gao Yanzhong.
Brother Jiu shook his head and thought of business. He took out a folded page from his sleeve and said: "Khan Ama, my son wants to check the income of these people privately to see if there is any corruption..."
Kangxi looked solemn and thought of the Accounting Department.
Is this another false case?
After picking up the folded page, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the names and ranks of these people.
They are all junior officials of sixth or seventh rank.
Guangshanku...
This was added by his grace thirty years ago.
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
The ninth elder brother couldn't directly talk to the twelfth elder brother's uncle, so he said: "At the beginning of the year, I took Fujin to Baiweiju for dinner. I saw someone from Guangshanku going to make a reservation, but I still went to the table because I didn't think about their annual salary.
There were many, so I paid more attention and found that some of them were related to outside banks. Due to the grace of Khan Amma, Guangshan Ku allowed the officials to borrow silver with a monthly interest of five cents. However, the outside banks' monthly interest of two cents and two cents and five cents were both less.
Yes, it’s three points at most…”
After Kangxi heard this, he understood and asked: "How much borrowed money is currently not in Guangshan Treasury?"
Since Brother Ninth wanted to check Guangshan Treasury, he took the opportunity to check the account books and replied truthfully: "Nine hundred and sixty-four thousand, five hundred and eighty taels of silver..."
Kangxi was stunned when he heard this amount.
I really didn't expect it to be such a large amount, which already accounted for 40% of the inner treasury.
Brother Jiu had already calculated the difference between five cents and three cents, and said: "Even if only half of it is taken out to the bank, there will still be an interest of 140,000 yuan left. If it is not placed in the bank, it is placed privately.
Even if the usury money doubles in one year, it will be small..."
At this point, he said a little anxiously: "If it is just a moth greedy for ink, it is still a good thing, but I am afraid that these servants will take advantage of the power of the palace to usury money, break the law, and also damage their moral character..."
No matter what others think, Brother Jiu really believes in this.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said with helplessness: "If you read books all day long, you should know that the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism are illusory and unpredictable and cannot be taken as true."
What happened?
One by one, they all had sex with Hongluo Temple?
The Ninth Prince and his wife are the instigators!
Kangxi hoped that people would believe in Buddhism more, but he did not want his sons to develop Buddha nature.
Brother Jiu said: "Not to mention Yin De or Yin De, the reputation of Khan Ama is not good. My son's idea of enriching the inner treasury is not to provide for these ancestors!"
He just said that the money he would take to the bank to earn interest was more than 50%.
By doing nothing, these officials in Guangshanku could get over ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver in one year.
How many people does Guangshanku have in total?
There is one treasurer, two deputy treasurers, four treasury envoys, and four scribes.
There are only eleven people in total!
It's simply unimaginable.
Kangxi looked at the list and had no intention of returning it to Brother Ninth, and said, "Don't worry about it. I will ask someone to go to the Eight Banners Division to check their property."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu had a bad feeling in his heart.
Wouldn't it be really easy to find out the twelfth prince's uncle?
Have you been reckless?
If you hand this over, it won't be easy for you to interfere.
Kangxi thought of the public treasury established in the same year as Guangshan Ku, and did not pay attention to Jiu Age's reaction.
If Guangshan Treasury is guilty of corruption, can the public treasury still be clean?
Considering the atmosphere in today's officialdom, where there are few honest people and many dishonest people, it is not difficult to guess the result.
Kangxi was a little upset and had no intention of talking to Brother Jiu, so he waved his hand and sent him away.
Brother Jiu came out of Qianqing Palace and let out a long sigh.
Did the letter from Yunnan pass through the imperial court?
probably not.
That is, there was another news coming to the imperial court from Jingdong Mansion, so Khan Ama knew that the profits from Chashan were higher than expected, so he took a hand.
How much tea is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year?
One hundred and sixty thousand quotations.
One hundred kilograms of tea leaves are introduced each time.
In fact, the tea sold by tea merchants is official tea mixed with private tea.
In fact, only the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows that tea sales exceed the number of tea leaves by more than 50%.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs only purchases tea every year, which costs a lot of money.
With Royal Tea Mountain, this expense is naturally saved.
Brother Jiu thought of his own tea mountain.
With the Royal Tea Mountain, you don’t need to pay homage to your own tea, right?
He glanced at the study room.
When he came to the imperial court before, one of the three times he was blocked by the Fourteenth and Thirteenth Princes.
Last year, it was the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers who became frequent visitors to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Nowadays, when I look at the study room, I am from a younger generation.
Brother Ninth turned around and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Jin Yiren is also there, chatting with the twelfth elder brother.
The twelfth elder brother was not easy to talk to. No matter how Jin Yiren made innuendo, he always kept silent.
Jin Yiren felt uneasy because of the trouble, and his face became stiff.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Jiu, just now the eunuch in charge of Xian'an Palace came to report that a beautiful lady is not in good health. Would you like to ask the imperial doctor to come over for a diagnosis..."
If you ask a doctor, if you are diagnosed with an illness, you have to move him out.
There are many mistresses in the palace, so you can avoid getting sick.
This is the day when the beautiful lady stays in the palace for inspection. If she moves out, she will basically give up her name.
Brother Jiu was surprised when he heard this. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Didn't you enter the palace at the beginning of the year? It's only the beginning of the palace, and you are already sick in two hours? Which beautiful girl is so delicate?"
Jin Yiren hesitated for a moment and said: "It's Princess Dong E's family in Zhenghong Banner..."
There were only twenty showgirls in total who left the sign, and Jin Yiren remembered them all clearly.
The sister of the Dong E family had the lowest status, so she was naturally more attentive and had some guesses about her whereabouts, so she felt embarrassed.
Brother Jiu said: "What's the trouble? Just ask the imperial doctor to come over. Don't delay. There are many epidemics in spring, so you should be careful."
Jin Yiren said: "This slave is too careful. Now I'll ask someone to go to the imperial doctor's room and invite someone over."
Brother Jiu said: "If you are diagnosed with the disease, you should go to the emperor to ask for an order to send him back..."
He is no longer involved.
After all, he is from the Dong E clan, and it seems that he is causing trouble.
Jin Yiren agreed and went down to make arrangements.
When he went out, the ninth elder brother asked the twelfth elder brother: "What else did he ink on just now?"
The twelfth elder brother said: "I asked what the ninth brother was doing when he went to the imperial palace, and he also mentioned Cao Yin's garden in Haidian. I didn't say anything."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "I'm just asking about it. Why are you asking about Cao Yin?"
However, he was a little jealous when he thought that Cao Yin had a garden in Haidian and he could only stay at his elder brother's house every time he went there.
At noon, news came to Xian'an Palace that Xiao Dong'e had diarrhea. He took medicine from the Imperial Hospital to stop the diarrhea and was not sent out of the palace.
Brother Jiu got the news and left the palace.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he mentioned the matter to Shu Shu and said, "Didn't they say that their old lady was square? It couldn't have been the old lady's fault. It was found out that she was deceiving the emperor?"
Shu Shu asked for details and found out that only one person had diarrhea, and said: "It shouldn't be the old lady from the second room. Since the imperial doctor has seen it, it should be normal and uncomfortable. Otherwise, the emperor will summon the Dong E family for questioning."
Brother Jiu murmured: "Even if it is normal discomfort, if you conceal it in advance, it will be..."
