Shen Zheng, after all the matters were dealt with, the official seal of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sealed, and the ninth elder brother went home.
The tenth elder brother had already arrived first, and the two brothers got on the carriage.
I have to go to Nanyuan tomorrow. Brother Jiu doesn't feel honored, but feels a headache.
"What do you think Ama Khan is doing at this time?"
Brother Nine muttered.
Although the "Third Nine" has passed, this "Four Nine" is also so cold that one can freeze one's jaw.
Then he sent people to tell them in advance and asked them to bring their own horses and bows.
The 10th prince couldn't figure it out for a moment and said, "Is it because you feel stuffy in the palace?"
Brother Jiu said: "Didn't I just go hunting in the winter? Wasn't it enough?"
Brother Ten blinked and remembered the ownership of the two tiger skins.
Could it be that the eldest brother and the prince were asked to go on a siege?
The ninth elder brother reached out to the tenth elder brother to plan the Holy Driver's tour this year.
"In February, I visited Jidian, in April, I visited Yongding River, in May, I visited the outside of the Great Wall, and in November, I visited the mausoleum... In this year, I spent a total of six and a half months outside, and most of my days in Beijing were in Changchun Garden. In total,
Have you only lived in the palace for a few days? We haven’t been touring outside the Great Wall, so the New Year’s Eve has basically dragged us along?”
The tenth elder brother asked: "If I take the ninth brother with me, will the ninth brother be willing to go?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Are not letting you go and not wanting to go the same thing?"
The tenth prince laughed when he heard this.
This is almost as picky as the Fourteenth Prince, except that the Fourteenth Prince is not lovable and the Ninth Brother is much better than him.
However, Brother Ninth remembered what he said to Shu Shu and said: "Let's see this year. If there is no me outside the Great Wall, I will take your Sister-in-law Ninth to Rehe to see the progress of the palace..."
Then we can live here for two months and escape the heat.
The tenth elder brother heard his heartbeat and said: "In a few years, our eldest elder brother will be vaccinated against acne. I also want to ask for a business trip to take Fujin to Abahai."
Brother Jiu made some calculations and said, "It will be next year."
When they arrived at Beiguanfang, the brothers went to their respective homes.
Shu Shu here is looking at the gold ingot sent by Yinlou.
This is a purse for the New Year, and it is for the little elder brother and little princess from various prefectures who come to pay New Year greetings.
There are small goldfish, gold Ruyi, gold peanuts, gold safety buttons, gold melon seeds, etc.
There are also silver ones, ingots, peace cards and silver beans.
They all looked very exquisite, and a tray was placed.
Brother Jiu saw it and said, "What a shame, our family will have to wait a few years before we can celebrate the New Year!"
Before getting vaccinated, you definitely can’t go out to pay New Year greetings.
There will be so many people there that the children may not be able to stand it.
Shu Shu said: "It's the same whether you harvest early or harvest late."
Even before we got married, we could go to visit each other for New Year greetings, and it was more than ten years ago.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. In the early years, one tael of silver was exchanged for a thousand coins, but now it is only exchanged for 800 coins. The imperial court is short of copper, and it is impossible to say that it will only be exchanged for 600 coins in the future."
Shu Shu listened, took a one-tael silver ingot and said, "Listen to what I said, we will lose money by saving money."
The majority of a child's New Year's money is still the family's savings.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, if you look at the price of rice, it sounds like the price of rice has been six hundred to eight hundred cents per stone in recent years, but the price of silver has increased from six to eight cents to seven and a half cents.
One tael of silver..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "In that case, the money we have saved should be converted into property and put aside."
The prices of shops and real estate in Beijing have been rising.
After more than ten years, when Fengsheng and his family split up, there should be a huge increase.
Brother Jiu said: "Shops in the capital are hard to come by. It's so troublesome. I'm thinking about it. In the spring of next year, I'll ask people to ask for shops in Tongzhou and Baoding. I just buy them and collect rent."
Shu Shu has no objection. At this time, the shop is indeed an industry that only makes money but does not lose money.
Neither husband nor wife is ambitious, and they don't want to make too much noise, so it's good to make sporadic purchases of properties every year.
The next day, Brother Jiu got up early.
Shu Shu packed two sets of riding clothes and two five-force bows.
Brother Ninth also chose two horses to take with him.
As for Ninth Prince himself, of course he can’t ride a horse.
Brother Jiu couldn't stand riding a horse for thirty miles on this day.
Due to the lack of security, a siege was required, so the guards and guards at the Prince's Mansion selected their best soldiers to follow. The guards here were Erhe, Fuqing and Chunlin, and the guards also ordered fifty.
Over the past year, although the number of guards in the mansion has not been replenished to 100, there are still 80 people.
It is also more convenient to allocate fifty to go out.
When Shu Shu sent the ninth elder brother to the gate of the prince's mansion, the tenth elder brother also came out.
Shifujin did not come out.
She was not long after her confinement, her energy was still weak and she was rather sleepy, so her tenth brother did not wake her up.
After saying hello to Brother Ten and watching the two brothers get on the carriage, Shu Shu also went back to catch up on her sleep.
It's only five o'clock, it's still dark outside, and people are feeling sleepy.
In the carriage, Brother Ninth yawned and held a cowhide bag with a cotton cover in his hand. He handed it to Brother Ten and said, "This is yours. Your sister-in-law prepared it..."
Brother 10 took it and drank it. It was slightly hot in his hand. It was not filled with hot wine, but ginger milk tea.
Brother 10 drank a few sips of it, and his whole body felt warm immediately.
There is plenty of ginger and sugar in this milk tea, which is quite refreshing.
Brother Jiu thought about the guards and guards who were following him, and said, "We are not going to compete, right? If it were just us brothers, there would be no need to compete at all. Who has the best bow power is all decided by Khan Ama, so what's the matter?
Do you need to bother us to get there?"
Besides, during the Eight Banners military parade earlier, the princes had already practiced archery. How long had it passed?
The tenth brother responded and said: "Who knows, maybe Shihan Ama just takes us to relax..."
But he was thinking about Brother Jiu's words in his heart.
If you don't look at their brothers' bow power, what are you looking at?
Are you looking at the guards and soldiers in their brother's mansion?!
The total number of guards for the Prince's Palace is one hundred and fifty, and the full number of guards for Baylor's Palace is one hundred.
As for the guards, there are fifteen in the County Prince's Mansion and ten in the Baylor Mansion.
With such a small number of people, what is there to see?
Brother Ten found it incredible.
But apart from this, what else is worth mobilizing troops and mobilizing people for?
Brother Ninth picked up another box and handed it to Brother Ten: "This is yours too..."
It turned out to be a cotton mask and leather gloves.
Shu Shu asked the sewing room to temporarily prepare these for Ninth Prince. He prepared a few more sets for Ninth Age to give away.
Brother Ten took it away and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth is worried about you. You should be careful and don't get sick in your youth."
Brother Jiu said: "I just make up the numbers. Seeing everyone's excitement, I will never make up the numbers..."
The brothers did not need to enter the palace, but waited directly outside the Qing Gate for the holy driver to come out.
When we arrived at the boundary, it was already brightly lit.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother got off the carriage and went over to arrange their shifts.
Seeing that the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother were all wearing riding clothes, but the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were wearing normal hoods, the ninth elder brother was surprised and said: "It's so early in the morning, you have to ride a horse."
Follow?"
The eldest elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and saw that he was serious and holding a stove in his hand, and said: "Don't worry about others, just take care of yourself."
The third elder brother was vaguely proud and said: "Yes, yes, don't worry about getting sick when it's cold, just watch the fun when the time comes."
The fourth elder brother said nothing and only glanced at the tenth elder brother.
Last time Nanyuan performed the movie, the tenth prince was not there. I don’t know if the tenth prince will show his hand tomorrow.
After a while, the holy driver left the palace, accompanied by the princes, and left the city in a mighty manner.
When they arrived at the Nanyuan Paddock and Kangxi entered the palace, someone came in front of the emperor and told the princes to come over.
In addition to Kangxi, the prince was also in the room.
Let's all say hello to you two.
When Kangxi saw it, he looked at everyone and said: "The prince has lowered his flag. As usual, the princes of the flag will offer blue armor. Now it is not easy for the princes of the clan. I did not ask anyone to ask for it. Tomorrow we will go to the siege. Five guards will be sent out from each mansion to protect the army.
Fifty, I will take out a hundred pairs of blue armor to reward the three families with the most prey. The first place will have fifty pairs of blue armor, the second place will have thirty pairs, and the third place will have twenty sets..."
The prince wears armor and chooses armor, which is divided into three colors. The red armor follows him on expeditions or outings, the white armor guards the door, and the blue armor is used to support everyone.
Both the red armor and the white armor are in short supply. The ten princes had previously thought of 150 pieces of money and grain for the county prince's palace and 100 pieces of money and grain for Baylor's house. These increase or decrease according to the rise or fall of the title.
Blue armor is used to make up for the shortage of silver. A pair of blue armor earns three taels of silver per month, which is thirty-six taels a year.
The blue armor was first established as a reward for military achievements and did not increase or decrease with changes in title.
Fifty blue armor is one thousand eight hundred taels of silver per year.
Thirty pairs are one thousand and eighty taels.
Twenty pairs are seven hundred and twenty taels.
Everyone looked at the eldest brother.
The eldest brother had no intention of speaking.
The third elder brother, on the other hand, was troubled by concern. Seeing that the eldest elder brother was silent, he took the initiative to ask: "Khan Ama, where is the blue armor that will be matched by the sons when they lower the flag?"
He was first granted the title of county king, and the number of armors he received from princes of his banner was equal to that of his eldest brother, no less than sixty-four pairs of blue armors.
That’s more than two thousand taels of silver!
Seeing that no one mentioned this before, he thought it had changed from their generation and there was no blue armor.
After all, they were ennobled by Prince Ouchi, so they were able to claim the rank of Lord Lieutenant Commander of the Five Banners. However, it would be unkind to take away the blue armor left by someone else's meritorious deeds.
Tomorrow the prince will set up a reward, but it should not be confused with the worthy blue armor.
Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and said: "Next year, we will ask the clan government to keep an eye on it and urge each family to make up for it."
The third elder brother smiled and said no more.
Tomorrow's hundred blue armors will be Khan Amma's supplement to his son, he will fight to secure the second and the first!
The fourth elder brother glanced at the prince.
The prince lowered his flag to exclude the prince.
He moved his eyes and thought of the 12th and 13th elder brothers standing behind him.
Others have separated their families and have military guards under them. The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are still living in the palace, and no manpower has been allocated.
The fourth elder brother asked: "Khan Ama, what about the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother who will go out to surround them tomorrow?"
Kangxi looked at the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were both a little confused. They really had no one. Every time they left the palace, the guard department would temporarily deploy people to follow them.
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "You can choose six people from the third-class guards today and fifty people from the army to participate in the siege tomorrow..."
The twelfth elder brother responded, but the thirteenth elder brother was already beaming with joy and said: "Thank you Khan Amma for your grace!"
The twelfth elder brother also thanked him.
Now that the site for the Prince's Mansion outside the palace has been selected, they are just waiting to start construction in the spring. Both of them know that it is built according to the plan of Beizi Mansion.
The two of them and the Fourteenth Brother, if there were no accidents, they would all have been born in the first year.
Beizi's salary is one thousand three hundred taels, which is not enough to support his family.
If they can get a share of this Blue Armor subsidy, even if they are in third place, it will still be half a kid's salary...
