Chapter 1398 No grace (wowling and asking for monthly votes)
Tuo Heqi is an old man on duty. How could he not know that the Shen Xing Department is managed by someone from the imperial court?
It's just that he wants the twelfth elder brother to show his protection for his mother-in-law, so that the Criminal Division will consider it when they investigate his family.
It's nothing if the servants below are shameless, but it's not good if it involves the prince's elder brother, it will make them more jealous.
The twelfth elder brother usually looks cold, but he is also polite to his wife, but his reaction is different from what he expected. This seems unreliable?
Tuo Heqi was still hesitating whether to say anything else.
The twelfth elder brother is already disappointed.
This is dishonest.
He asked directly: "If the money is taken out to earn interest, what about the interest money earned over the years?"
Tuo Heqi looked uncomfortable and said: "Brother, I don't know that living in the capital is a waste of money. Apart from other things, the price of food and clothing has increased now. It's not as good as in the early years, and officialdom also costs money."
The twelfth elder brother saw that he was stubborn and didn't want to say anything else.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs usually provides a salary of Ding Yin and Ding Ding, and I have never heard of anyone dying of hunger and cold.
His expression also dimmed, and he looked at Tuo Heqi and said, "Mommy said that the bubbles under your feet are all caused by themselves, and everyone has their own destiny."
The words have been revealed.
He didn't want to persuade anyone else, so he just said: "You're busy, I'll go back first..."
After that, he turned around and entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Tuoheqi looked at the back of his twelfth brother and his heart dropped.
What does it mean?
You haven't asked your guilt yet, why don't you clean it up first?
Can this be torn cleanly?
Part of his family's money was also given to the palace.
Not only does the elder brother prepare gifts here several times a year, but the nobles also ask people to send money in every year.
Otherwise, the noble man's annual salary is only a few dollars, and he has to weigh every order he makes.
Not to mention, the noble was only granted the title of noble the year before last. Before that, she was just a concubine. There was little ice in the summer and little charcoal in the winter.
However, Tuo Heqi also knew in his heart that if the twelfth elder brother really wanted to sit on the sidelines, there would be nothing wrong with him.
If I don't replenish my money, I wonder if it will really be put to good use by the Division of Punishment.
Nowadays, there is a rumor circulating privately in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is that the boy is focusing on the lack of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Jin family did not act cautiously, but their rapid collapse is also due to the achievements of that person.
Now it's just a matter of merit.
Guang Shanku was doing well there, but he was brought out by the Sentence Division, and he planned to use everyone's support in exchange for his merits.
Everyone hated and feared Du Tu, but there was nothing they could do.
He was the "lone wolf" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He came from a small family and had no favors with outsiders.
The money still needs to be replenished...
Tuo Heqi turned around and left, thinking about the vain money he had to prepare, his heart, liver and lungs ached.

In the Yamen of the Main Hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu was sitting behind the desk with a booklet in front of him.
What is copied above is the property under the name of Tuo Heqi thirty years ago during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and the property under the name of Tuo Heqi, his wife, and his son now.
There is also the time when the bank in Nancheng opened, and the interest rate fluctuations over the years. At the beginning, it was two-cent profit; after it became famous, it was just like other banks, it was three-cent profit.
The shop is under the name of Tuo Heqi's brother-in-law, but Tuo Heqi's brother-in-law is just an ordinary man, and his life is just ordinary now.
The shopkeeper is a member of the Tuohe Qi family.
That shop should be Tuohe Qi's own business.
Later, the Qi family spent a lot of money in recent years, marrying two daughters-in-law and two daughters.
The betrothal gift was not made with any fanfare, but the daughter's dowry was sixty-four dollars, and she also came with a house and a shop. This was all registered with the Eight Banners Department.
Ordinary clan daughters do not have such a generous dowry.
The twelfth elder brother came back, feeling a little depressed. He looked at the ninth elder brother but hesitated to speak.
Brother Ninth sighed, handed the booklet in his hand to Brother Twelve and said, "Read it yourself."
Then you have to make up your own mind whether to help or not.
The ninth elder brother felt that the twelfth elder brother was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and he couldn't help but let him go.
I don't care about my reputation, and if I'm not close to my maternal family, I won't be close, but my twelfth brother doesn't have to do what I do.
He was willing to protect his younger brother for a while, but he thought that he made all the decisions on his own and didn't like to listen to his brothers, so he was unwilling to force him.
Brother Twelve took it and looked at it.
He had just roughly calculated the amount of the silver interest at the door of the Yamen, and looked calmly at the booklet.
It was on the page of Tuoheqi's property that he glanced at it several times.
The numbers vary greatly. Tuohe Qi just mentioned three or four properties, but here there are thirteen or four.
Even if there really isn't that much cash, if these properties are pledged, 60,000 taels of silver is still plenty.
He guessed correctly.
Uncle is not short of money.
The twelfth elder brother felt bored and closed the book, hanging his head and not wanting to speak.
The ninth elder brother knew that the twelfth elder brother had the first savings, more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Among them, there are 600 taels of silver per year for the prince, as well as gifts for birthdays and seniors.
Even if half of it is subsidized by the maternal family, it is only about ten thousand taels of silver.
But Tuoheqi, the prince's uncle, had collected ten thousand taels for himself!
The Wanliuha family is no different from the Guo Luoluo family back then. They got rich in the light of the prince, eating meat themselves and drinking soup for the prince's nephew, reversing the priorities.
Fortunately, Tuo Heqi's corruption was revealed at this time. Otherwise, if it were revealed in a few years, others would think that the prince was amassing money behind the scenes.
He said to the twelfth elder brother: "Be more open-minded. Everyone has selfish motives. Whether it's a nephew you don't see a few times a year or your own children and grandchildren, you don't have to choose. And you have to remember that the one who really loves his daughter is
No one is willing to let their daughter choose. The Ministry of Internal Affairs draft is different from the Eight Banners draft. The Eight Flags draft is a must-select. You must watch it from top to bottom and you are not allowed to escape. The Ministry of Internal Affairs draft is for your own registration. Every year, the palace
Sometimes there are only a dozen or so people entering, and sometimes there are only twenty or thirty people..."
Since they are daughters and sisters who can abandon themselves, how much love can they have?
Brother Twelve said: "Brother Ninth, don't worry, I know you are good for me and you won't interfere..."
As he spoke, he mentioned the amount of 118,000 taels and said: "This kind of borrowing money in one's name is not a special case. There should be others."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu snorted: "Since this is a business that can make money, sharing among many people is not as comfortable as sharing among few. The grace that Khan Ama gave to the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually only benefited these few worms. How can it be so?
!”
Brother Twelve was silent, he discovered something.
All the offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not subject to inspection.
If we really want to check it out, every government office has holes.
It seems like there are no good people.
Nowadays, it seems that there is no oil and water in our yamen.
Because the Shen Xing Department came to investigate Guangshan Treasury, some of the money borrowed from the account came back one after another.
Among them, the ones with the longest arrears of interest were six or seven years old.
This time, some people did not make up the interest, but only paid back the principal.
It is easy to take out this money, but difficult to take it back.
It's not that everyone is brave, but because they spend money carelessly, some of it is spent.
Having enough food and clothing is a way to live a life, and eating well and being well clothed is also a way to live a life.
These people have not repaid the entire principal, but have repaid a small part first, and are still raising the remaining debt.
When the Department of Punishment did a round of investigation, they found that there were more than a hundred accounts that were clearly irrecoverable.
The amount is not much, thirty-fifty taels, one hundred and eighty taels. Looking at this amount, you can tell that it is an ordinary package.
When someone is sick, has to stop working, or there is a wedding or wedding in the family, he borrows money and is unable to make a living.
Treasurer Guang Shanku took this and came to the yamen of the main hall to ask Brother Jiu for instructions.
Brother Jiu looked at the debt book and realized that this was the real purpose of Khan Ama’s establishment of Guangshan Treasury, to save people in an emergency.
It's just that you can't start a bad debt, otherwise all the 1.2 million taels of silver will become bad debts in the future.
Brother Jiu pondered for a while and said: "Repay the loan in years. If you have errands, half of your salary will be deducted every year until you repay the debt; if you don't have errands, report the male population and go to Xiaotangshan to grow vegetables."
."
The bridal chamber planned for the Xiaotangshan Palace requires a lot of manpower, and it is difficult to use tenants from outside. It is just a good idea to choose people from among the perfect ones.
Treasurer Guang Shanku did not expect Brother Jiu to solve the problem like this, and hesitantly said: "Master Jiu, if they don't want to go to Xiaotangshan..."
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Those who are in debt outside can become uncles, and those who are in debt in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also want to be uncles. It depends on whether I agree! What's wrong if you don't go after being given an errand? Then I will go to the imperial palace to give it to you."
They asked for grace and went directly to the Imperial Mansion outside the Pass. They were also short of manpower there. Before going, it would be easier to withdraw the money and food for the next few years to plug the hole than deducting money every year!"
The treasurer remained silent and responded: "I know, I will go and ask someone to tell them about Xiaotangshan."
No one is a fool, who is willing to leave the capital?
Even if you have to farm, it is better to farm in the capital than outside the country.
The treasurer respectfully withdrew.
The twelfth elder brother was standing by and looked at everything but said nothing.
Brother Jiu told him: "This is also a bastard. He can't be innocent. This is a test to see if there is any possibility of bad debts. It's just a dream!"
Whenever Brother Jiu shows his intention to reduce or exempt interest, there will be people waiting for him who owe three thousand taels or five thousand taels.
Those who have transferred thirty thousand taels or fifty thousand taels before will also deduct the interest of 5% and refuse to pay it back.
The twelfth prince said: "Khan Amma is so kind to them."
Don't worry about your livelihood, all that's left is the pursuit of good food and good clothing.
The ninth elder brother said: "There are disadvantages not only in the palace, but also in ordinary people's mansions. There are too many second masters. Now your elder brother's family has a small population. The salary is provided by the palace, and there are few disadvantages involved. When the mansion is opened in the future,
We must also guard against being deceived by servants. Let’s not talk about others, but the nanny Bage. Two years after the prince opened the palace, the nanny, as the external steward, bought several properties for himself, with a total of two or thirty thousand taels of silver.
, that was only two years of work; as well as the Yuqing Palace, the aunt of the Hongxi brothers, relying on Yuqing Palace in the past few years, also became a rich man, and they have other houses in Haidian. It is ridiculous or not, the princes
