Chapter 1400 Are you stupid (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
Because Yuqinggong paid back the 60,000 taels, other Baoyi who were in arrears also paid back their money.
Now in Guangshanku's account, only the installment principal of dozens of poor families has not been recovered.
However, with Yuqinggong in the lead, no interest was repaid, which was considered a precedent. No one asked for interest on the more than 200,000 taels of silver subsequently put into the treasury.
This money is a good thing, so it is better to give it as little as possible.
No matter how low the interest rate is, it still amounts to a lot of money over time.
If you take it out of your pocket, it's like cutting flesh.
The treasurer neither dared to offend anyone nor neglected his duties, so he clearly stated when a certain loan was lent, when the principal was repaid, and how much interest was still owed.
Brother Jiu, no one else noticed him, they only paid attention to Tuo Heqi.
The principal and interest of the arrears in Tuo Heqi's name were all repaid, and the several people who borrowed their names were still dragging on the interest. Just like Yuqing Palace, it was also the interest for eleven years.
Each of these annotations is like a guillotine.
I just don't know where this anger comes from.
He remembered that Brother Jiu mentioned that Jin Yiren got married after coming to Beijing and promised his daughter to Cao Quan's son.
Jin Yisheng, deputy director of the Changchun Garden, was dismissed, his status was lost, and he was exempted from ransom. He was sent to Ning Guta and Pi Jiaren as slaves, and his wife and children went with him.
He said to Brother Jiu: "If you help, you will help. This is also the way to employ people..."
On this day, Brother Jiu went to Changchun Garden, not for Guangshanku, but for the Jin family.
Kangxi said: "Write the note carefully and hand it over."
"You are a good relative, are you asking for help from Jin Yiren?" Kangxi said in a bad tone.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, my son just accepted the gift list and gave it to Cao Shun. Who told Cao Quan to be partial? He went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to block Cao Shun without caring about the future of his eldest son. Cao Shun's current status is also embarrassing.
, the two houses are not close to each other, and it is difficult to separate the family in the future. When this opportunity comes, my son wants to help!"
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just say that among the staff of Ninth Brother’s Mansion, except for Zhang Tingzhan’s family, which is more normal, the others are like lonely ghosts, with no relatives to rely on.
"Cao Shun has made it clear to him a long time ago. This is not a matter that father and son can intercede with. He has no dignity in front of his son, but Cao Quan refuses to let him go. Who calls Cao Shun his son..."
The people of Khan Amma are old-hearted.
Speaking of this, Brother Jiu became unhappy and said: "You love your younger son so much, and for the sake of the future of your younger son's father-in-law, you ignore the future of your eldest son, and you dislike him so much. Why did you give birth to him at that time?"
Jin Yiren, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was dismissed, his registration was lost, he was sentenced by hanging, and his wife and children were transferred to Xin's treasury.
As he spoke, he explained the conflict between Cao Quan and Cao Shun and his son.
Kangxi thought of the huge significance of wool processing. Even if the profit was low, as long as it could be sustained, the impact on Mongolia would be immeasurable.
Seeing Liang Jiugong's eyelids drooped and not looking at anyone speaking, Jiu Age stopped the smile on his face.
Kangxi took it and looked at it.
Kangxi's face was a little gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were drooped. He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "I will feel uneasy when I see you!"
The Cao family’s things have been collected, that’s what I have to say.
With a little caution, he took a plain silk package from He Yuzhu and followed Liang Jiugong into the house safely.
Brother Jiu pointed at the gift list and said: "My son estimated that these paintings are worth almost fifteen thousand taels. The good ones at the back should also be heirlooms of the Cao family..."
This son is indeed not very smart, and he is not so protective of his shortcomings.
Kangxi had a good impression of Cao Shun, who was taciturn and steady, and worked very hard.
Jin Yiyao, the treasury envoy of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, was dismissed from his post but remained in office.
When he went outside to ask for a meeting, Brother Jiu saw a few wild ducks swimming in the lake.
Brother Jiu said: "You also know that the Tongzhou weaving field has just started. If you want to improve it and operate it smoothly, you need reliable people to keep an eye on it. My son wants to ask Jin Yiyao if he can be dismissed and stay in the post. He is Jin Yiren's half-mother."
Brothers, the relationship between brothers is normal, and they also suffered a loss when the family was separated. If it weren't for the fact that he was the marriage link between the Li family and the Cao family, Jin Yiren would not have mentioned this person."
At this moment, Liang Jiugong came out and said: "Master Jiu, the emperor's biography is here!"
"That younger brother of Cao Yin?" Kangxi asked.
Otherwise, if the scale is too large, it may cause a series of impacts, such as cloth prices, silk prices, etc.
Kangxi's mood was slightly subtle.
Brother Jiu said: "This is different from those rare objects. The earlier ones were 'rare and valuable'. In addition, they were made in-house and used by the emperor, which also increased their value. But this one is intended to be sold frequently. My son is thinking of sending it to every government.
These, when the time comes, all my brothers and sisters-in-law will wear this, and the fashion will spread. The same is true of 'what goes up and what goes down.' What's more, the palace purchases here and adds a touch. In the future, there will be more materials in spring and autumn, and in winter,
With a cotton lining inside, it should be as warm as a big sweater."
The Mongolian prince sold the wool for a few pennies per pound, and then spent dozens of taels of silver to buy the wool. Even a fool would know that the difference was thousands of times uneconomical.
But why is the coat so bright?
Since Kangxi was nostalgic for the past and loved houses and birds, he naturally had a lot of praise for Cao Quan, otherwise he would not have chosen his son to be his 15th elder brother.
Brother Ninth glanced at Kangxi quickly and said, "Honestly."
The evidence is conclusive and several crimes should be punished.
When you want to fall, the teacher is famous.
Not two days after Brother Jiu came back from Changchun Garden, the Jin family's case was settled.
It seems that there is no disturbance in Guangshanku.
The robes of Mongolian herdsmen are made of sheepskin.
He hoped that wool products could be sold back to Mongolia, so that they would not affect the Qing economy.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It can't be replaced, but it can be used in spring and autumn except winter."
Every time he visited the south, he went to the weaving yamen and the weaving yards under the weaving yamen to know the general situation.
Jin Yili, the head of the construction department of the commissioned office, was dismissed, his registration was confiscated, and he was exempted from redemption. He made Ning Guta and Pijiaren slaves, and his wife and children went with him.
Kangxi looked ugly.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu didn't know the goods, but Kangxi did.
Who is this filial to?
The woolen fabric has an obvious roughness to the touch and its color is dull.
It would be great if wool could replace sheepskin.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Even for wool, the process is complicated and cannot be compared with ordinary cloth. The cost is high and the price is not cheap. It is not something that ordinary people can buy. My son plans to sell it to Jiangnan.
Or sell to North Korea or Japan..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Don't you want to get involved in these things? Why are you making an exception? Is it because of Cao Quan's son?"
"Son, please give my regards to Khan Amma..."
But Cao Quan was a dandy when he was a child, and now he is a middle-aged dandy. He spent half his life eating and drinking without doing anything serious.
Kangxi's expression softened slightly and he said: "Pass it over."
Isn't a little guard too self-righteous?
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "At first, I was thinking about Jin Yiren. Later, I heard that Jin Yiren had withheld tribute, so I just wanted to ask Jin Yiyao. He is also an in-law, which is rare. I heard that he has a deep relationship with brother Cao Yin and is very fond of Cao Yin.
Yin Yeduo respects him."
These people were arrogant and used to think that the emperor was lenient. Their eyes were blurry and they couldn't see the crisis.
The same four pieces of woolen cloth, placed together, the contrast is very obvious.
These antique calligraphy and paintings are all from the Ming Dynasty. They are not very old, but they are all works by famous artists.
He raised his eyebrows, curious.
"Ten Thousand Jade Pictures", "Bamboo Pictures", "Jackdaw Moonlight Night Picture", etc.
Kangxi looked at him and said, "Because it's valuable, you are greedy?"
If you don’t sell to Mongolia this year, you won’t miss the “Queen” sign anymore?
Cashmere is very comfortable to touch, has the feel of silk, and is also shiny.
Kangxi was a little disappointed after hearing this.
Whatever I figured out in the past few years, I had to go around and then sell it to Mongolia at a high price.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Did the Cao family ask you for help?"
Brother Jiu nodded, with hesitation on his face.
He could only bite the bullet and said: "My son is here to announce the good news to Khan Amma. The looms in Tongzhou Weaving Field have officially started working. I have sent over the weaving samples. My son has sent them here for Khan Amma to appreciate."
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "My son also had a headache for a while. He was so angry with Cao Quan that he was a little careless. Later, when Cao Zhizao knew about it, he was probably going to mutter about his son in his heart."
Brother Jiu opened the package and found four pieces of material inside.
As for Mongolia, it is not a major market.
Kangxi looked at him and said, "What's the problem? Is there not enough wool, a shortage of dye, or a shortage of weavers?"
Looking at it like this, it seems that I came at the wrong time.
Kangxi frowned and said, "Why are you related to Cao Yin again?"
Kangxi disapproved and said: "That is the Cao family's family affairs, you should not interfere!"
Brother Jiu disapproved and said: "Let them go. My son will help him this time. If Cao Shun can stand up, he will stand up. If he can't stand up, he will be sent away after two years. My son can't stand it, and he doesn't like to be a coward."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I'm not a good scholar, but he is a solid person. In addition to these eight paintings and calligraphy, I also have banknotes worth 5,000 taels. To say he is rich, he borrowed the 5,000 taels from Guangshan Treasury."
He paid two thousand taels for it; if he has no money, it would be respectable to hand this gift note anywhere!"
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "This time, why didn't you think of 'doing what one does and following what one does'?"
Only slaves take the blame for their masters, how can a master take the blame for his slaves?
If you take these things, you will take them. If you want to reward Cao Shun, just pick two things. What if you give them all?
Kangxi felt his brain ached, and said to Brother Jiu: "There is no place for reasoning at home, and household affairs are not black and white. If you interfere indiscriminately like this, it will only make things difficult for Cao Shun. If Cao Quan finds out about this later, will he?"
Would you misunderstand that Cao Shun is slandering you? Then the rift between father and son will become even deeper..."
He brought it forward, spread it on the kang, and explained to Kangxi: "These two thick ones are the weaving samples from Tongzhou. They were sent yesterday. The material is wool, with a thickness of two to three minutes. It is windproof and cold-resistant.
The disadvantage is that it is a bit hard and has a strong smell. I estimate that it will take three to five months to loosen the smell. The two thin ones are made from Jiangning fabrics and are made of cashmere. The thickness is one and a half to two minutes. They are softer and more durable.
It’s warm, but the disadvantage is that it needs to be carefully preserved to avoid insect infestation...”
Kangxi shook his head and said: "I heard what you said. Cao Shun did nothing wrong. He is the eldest son and grandson. There is nothing wrong with listening to his father's instructions. This is the responsibility. Don't be too demanding."
Brother Jiu understood that he had been angered.
Kangxi's focus was on the woolen cloth. He took a black piece in his hand and said, "Can this replace the sheepskin?"
As long as he has some potential, he will not waste twenty years serving as a third-class bodyguard.
That’s fine, it’s easier to use and more loyal…
Brother Jiu went up to see where the wild ducks were. It turned out to be two pairs of mandarin ducks with their feathers trimmed.
Brother Jiu said: "His situation was caused by his family, and he did not bring it upon himself. If he doesn't step out on his own, he will never be able to make a difference in his life, or he will be treated as a big boss by his family..."
Brother Jiu cleared his throat, took out the gift list from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands.
The nine Jin brothers have different mothers and have been separated for many years.
Jin Yiren, Jin Yili, and Jin Yisheng were the legitimate sons of the original wife, and they also received a large share of the family property. This time, none of them ran away, and all of them lost their status.
Several other concubine brothers, who either died young or did not serve in official positions, relied on their meager family property to survive like ordinary people.
Jin Yiyao is a step-brother. When the family was separated, he was not much better than his concubine brothers. He escaped this time...
