Cao Shun is a member of the Three Banners, so it is reasonable for him to serve as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The subordinate officers in Baylor Mansion are not of high rank, and they are just trying to gain seniority.
However, Kangxi has not yet thought about whether Cao Shun should use it or how to use it.
He has to take care of Cao Yin.
Although Mrs. Sun of the Cao family served as his nanny and took good care of him back then, she did not stay with him for as long as Cao Yin, the haha pearl.
From the time Cao Yin entered the palace at a young age to the time he was appointed as a bodyguard, the emperor and his ministers stayed with him for nearly thirty years and regarded him as a confidant.
Cao Shun and Cao Yin's eldest son were more than ten years apart.
If Cao Shun returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future, he would be a more suitable weaving successor than Cao Yong, but that would not be in line with Cao Yin's plan.
Kangxi put the matter aside and said to Brother Jiu: "Don't think about proposing this or recommending that all day long. When the time comes, no one will be around to help you and you will ask me for someone..."
Before, Brother Jiu sent people to the imperial court, either Fuqing or Erhe, with the intention of helping them show their faces in front of the imperial court.
Kangxi was worried that Brother Jiu was too honest and would be used as a springboard by his subordinates.
One of these two people is the son of a bachelor, and the other is the son of a minister in charge of the bodyguard. They are both from high-ranking families, and I am afraid that they are too big-minded and will not be able to serve the ninth elder brother properly.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Then ask for more. There is nothing serious in my son's house. He just obeys his orders. No one has more, and no one has less..."
Speaking of this, he hesitated a little and said: "Khan Ama, let others pay it forward. Zhang Tingzhan can take on the errands of the prince's palace for a few more years... Seeing that Fengsheng and the others are about to become enlightened, they must have a proper grandson of the emperor.
division……"
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu disapprovingly and said, "I called him over back then to let him control the etiquette and guide you in your behavior. Do you treat him like an old master?"
Zhang Tingzhan is currently the minister of Taichang Temple, the third rank, and the "little nine ministers".
Taichang Temple is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites. The ministers of Taichang Temple are promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, then the Minister of Rites, and finally whether they can be admitted to the cabinet.
In the early years, Kangxi arranged for Zhang Tingzhan to walk in front of the emperor because of Zhang Ying.
At present, it is also because of Zhang Ying that he does not regard Zhang Tingzhan as a cabinet minister. If he had no other merits, he would be a minister of the Ministry of Rites or a minister.
Even so, Kangxi did not deny Zhang Tingzhan's talent, and felt that it was "overkill" for the ninth elder brother to use it to educate the emperor's grandson.
Brother Ninth heard this and said: "It's because Zhang Tingzhan has advised his son, and he feels relieved knowing that he has a good character. If we really need to find someone from outside to educate the children, my son is still worried that the education will be wrong..."
At this point, he recounted the Zhang family affairs mentioned by Cao Shun and said: "Yipin Yinsheng, as long as Zhang Tingzhan, the eldest son, does not nod, he will stay in the same room as the eldest son, but Zhang Tingzhan readily agreed.
, and also arranged for people to go through the formalities with the Imperial College at the Ministry of Personnel, you are a kind man."
Kangxi knew about this for the first time. He thought about it and shook his head and said: "Zhang Tingzhan has no choice. Since Zhang Ying wrote to ask, the meaning is almost the same. Zhang Tingzhan's agreement is just to follow the trend."
The ninth elder brother felt that he was not just following the trend, and said: "Khan Ama, if Zhang Tingzhan was not really like the eldest son and elder brother, and was kind and kind, Prime Minister Zhang would not have written to inquire. Otherwise, he would have agreed on the surface but would not be happy in his heart.
If we don't mention protecting this younger brother, Zhang Jiayin's future will be limited."
Kangxi knew that this was the truth.
Just seeing Brother Ninth think so highly of Zhang Tingzhan, he felt a little unhappy and said: "You don't like reading, but you like to get close to scholars?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Who do you want to distinguish? No matter how talented the scholar is, his son will avoid him. Seeing Zhang Tingzhan is such an honest and kind person, even if his son interacts with him, he can figure out who he is.
My pulse feels better, and I feel a little more at ease!"
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Don't be too self-righteous, people's hearts are separated from each other."
Brother Jiu said disapprovingly: "Isn't there still Khan Ama? With you here, who dares to fool his son?"
Kangxi hummed softly: "Why don't you say you are lazy and don't use your brain? When will you be able to save my worries?"
Brother Jiu thought carefully and said: "Then... seventeen years from now? Then Fengsheng will be twenty, and my son will not have to worry about Ama Khan. Let your grandson worry about it!"
Kangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "You are lazy, you are relying on me and your son, and you don't want to be self-reliant!"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Who makes a son blessed? The son of the Khan's Ama, or the grandson of the emperor's Ama..."
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Stop grinding your teeth, go back and think about the government-run shop. It's too late this year. After writing the return statement, we will finalize the location of the shop with Musca first, and we will talk about next year."
Brother Jiu agreed and stepped back from the imperial palace.
When he returned to the Prince's Courtyard, Shu Shu had just finished telling Xiaotang about the various ingredients for the vegetarian pot for tomorrow morning.
The meal arrangement in the palace is the same as in the palace, with two main meals in the morning and lunch, and a banquet of cakes in the evening.
Therefore, the vegetarian pots that Shu Shu wants to send to the Queen Mother will be delivered tomorrow morning, so there is no rush.
When Xiaotang retreated, Brother Jiu waved his hand and sent the ginkgo away, and then said to Shu Shu: "I found out, Khan Ama is stingy..."
Shu Shu was a little surprised after hearing this and said: "No way?"
I usually give generous rewards, especially to my children, but today I gave them four shops for one meal at noon.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?"
As he spoke, he recounted the previous conversation between father and son, and said: "On the way back, I thought about it for a moment. Why do you urge me to come up with an agreement in the next few days about next year? The key is to ask me to go there.
Find a location in Musca..."
Shu Shu listened happily and said: "I have overthought it. The emperor is rich in the world, so how can he care about a few shops? Not to mention the shops in the Rehe Palace, even the shops in the imperial city are not worth the emperor's care.
.”
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said: "Not necessarily, I think it's not that Khan Ama was reluctant to reward his sons, but he was afraid of losing the younger sons later, so he used the name of official business to occupy ten shops first, so as to save the money next year.
, and the following year, other brothers followed him and continued to reward him, destroying all the shops in good locations."
Shu Shu listened and did not refute again. It was really possible.
The main ones are the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and the nineteenth elder brother. They are from the lowest background and have no one in their mother's family.
As for the seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother, who are both equally young, the former is raised by Concubine Shuhui and will have the private property of Concubine Shuhui; the latter has Concubine Yi as his biological mother, as well as the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.
All brothers are in need of care.
Compared with them, the young brothers born by several Chinese women are unsettling.
Shu Shu said: "If that's the case, it's just a father's heart. Just pretend that I don't know..."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu's belly and said: "Then we have to wait for a few more years. We have saved enough money for the separation of Fengsheng and Akdan and Niguzhu's dowry. This time we have a mistress."
, we can't let him divide his brother's and sister's share, and prepare another one..."
Shu Shu lowered her head and said: "I'll wait until I've been cultivating pearls in Taihu Lake for a few years and I've saved up enough money for Xiaosi's family branch, and then I'll offer you my gift."
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, but when the time comes, let's reserve another copy in case an old man or woman comes again in the future..."
He didn't intend for Shu Shu to have frequent children, but with the example of his mother-in-law and his mother-in-law before him, he had to be careful.
Since the emperor gave the order, Brother Jiu discussed with Shu Shu the contents of the official shop.
The cement he mentioned before counts as one, and the drug store counts as one.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "The basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most practical and attractive. Cao Shun also said that among the dozen or so shops on the shopping street, restaurants, pastry shops and teahouses have the best business.
, these are all accessible from the entrance, you can run a government-run pastry shop, and then run a government-run imitation restaurant..."
Brother Jiu frowned after hearing this and said, "Isn't that the same as our store?"
Shu Shu said: "There are more than forty shops, and the types they can operate are limited. There will always be duplicates. It is easier to go against the shops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs than to go against other people's shops. It won't hinder anything."
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have learned a lesson and will not provoke Ninth Prince.
Every time a Mongolian prince comes to visit for a month or two, he can't just eat in a restaurant. No matter how delicious the food is, he'll get tired of it.
Brother Jiu frowned and wrote down these two things, and then added the gold and silver shop he thought about before.
This is where the bulk of the profits come from, as it is time to build ready-made masters in-house.
There is also a soju shop.
Then he thought about it and added a silk shop.
There is also a lot of backlog of materials in stock...
The couple was thinking about what other shop would be suitable for the Mongolian prince. He Yuzhu hurried in and reported: "Master, Fujin, the eldest princess and the second princess are here before they get off the carriage..."
After hearing this, the couple didn't dare to delay and strode out to greet him.
Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian have already entered the gate.
It turned out that the sisters had chosen a shop and went to the imperial palace to express their gratitude. After leaving the palace, they thought of the source of the reward and came to express their gratitude to Brother Jiu.
"With the help of my ninth brother and my second sister, I got two shops..."
Princess Chunxi said with a blushing face.
She is self-aware and will not think about competing with the princes, but she does not want to be compared to other princesses.
She is a big princess and she doesn't want to show her cowardice.
If he really loses the Sacred Heart, Horqin's life will be difficult in the future.
Princess Rongxian was also happy. If the emperor often went to Rehe to escape the summer heat in the future, with two more shops, he would be better informed even if he did not come to court.
Brother Ninth said with a "haha" smile: "Sisters, you should thank me properly. If I hadn't told Khan Ama about the shops in the Imperial City, they were all the official offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Khan Ama wouldn't have given us a shop to reward us.
…”
Princess Chunxi and Princess Rongxian knew about this for the first time.
Princess Chunxi said: "Then I have to thank you for this, but if you can think of building a summer palace in Rehe, we will also thank you. In the future, Emperor Ama's grandmother will come to spend the summer. It is more convenient for us to come to the DPRK than to return to Beijing."
…”
For a princess who marries far away, returning to her natal family is out of reach.
Princess Rongxian, who returned to the court twice after being married for more than ten years, is an exception.
For more Princess Fumeng, the separation of relatives is almost the same as farewell to death...
