Chapter 1,738 Breaking the old and bringing forth the new (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
The fourteenth elder brother was very curious about the ninth elder brother's purpose.
After all, Shengjia had only returned to Luang for a few days, so he couldn't think of anything he wanted to see him for.
However, he now had more scruples, and did not dare to speak out loud, nor did he make insinuations, not wanting to destroy the seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
After chatting for half a cup of tea, haha beads came to urge people to go back.
The morning break is over, sir is coming.
Brother Fourteen and Nersu went back to the study room.
Brother Jiu looked at Nersu's back and touched his chin.
The kings of the clan should be replaced by the older generation.
The younger generation also needs to get up.
Although the South Study Room now replaces the Council of Ministers and is responsible for government affairs, the role of the royal family princes is still irreplaceable.
Although Prince Kang Chun Tai was the head of the princes, he was not valued by the emperor.
The most important thing to the emperor's father was Prince Yarjana, whom he had raised in the palace in his early years.
Nersu also raised the inner court. As long as he matures, he will be a powerful prince.
It would be nonsense to say that the Fourteenth Brother has no other ideas when it comes to showing his goodwill.
He cursed a few times and went to Qianqing Palace to see him.
By the time Sichu started, Brother Jiu's legs were numb when he stood.
When the last two ministers came out, Liang Jiugong followed him and said, "Master Jiu, please invite me. The emperor has uploaded it."
Brother Jiu glanced at him carefully and whispered: "There is nothing to worry about this morning, right?"
Liang Jiugong chuckled lightly and did not answer.
Looking at Brother Jiu's guilty conscience, he knew that this man was here to cause trouble for the Emperor.
Brother Ninth was indeed temporarily uneasy.
He means well, but since ancient times, loyal words are harsh to the ears, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth.
He was afraid that if something bad happened in the imperial court, the emperor would be unhappy and make him angry again.
When they arrived at the house, Brother Jiu respectfully said hello.
"Son, please give my regards to Khan Amma..."
Kangxi called out and said: "How is the government?"
Brother Jiu stood up and said, "Fortunately, there are just so many children that the county master cannot take care of them alone. In the past few months, I have worked hard for Old Shi Fujin, and I have also troubled Fourth Sister-in-law to take care of me all the time. Yesterday, my son discussed with his son Fujin, How can I thank you two?"
The friendship between the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother was both in Kangxi's eyes.
Sifujin is young, but she has the air of a eldest sister-in-law.
But he was a little puzzled and said: "Didn't you mean that the fifth elder brother also picked up Fengsheng and the others?"
When it comes to relatives near and far, they are biological uncles and biological aunts. The fifth elder brother has always loved his younger brother, and he who loves his house and birds will also be kind to his two nephews.
Brother Jiu didn't hide anything, and told the truth, "These two families live far away, so we don't see each other very often. The children are also afraid of strangers at their age. After staying for half a day, they come back making a fuss."
Kangxi lowered his eyes and couldn't help but find fault with Wu Fujin.
Not close to anyone.
If you are kind to your children, how can they not be able to stay?
That's my nephew.
Kangxi regretted it.
Earlier, I pointed out this low-ranking Fujin to the fifth elder brother, and I also had a balance in mind. However, compared with the surnamed Xungui, this kind of woman from a middle-class family does have shortcomings.
Among the many princes in Jin Dynasty, this one is the only one who is angry because of his poor background.
Take it as a warning.
The next prince, Fujin, should be chosen from a noble family.
"sit down……"
Kangxi pointed to the stool, asked Brother Jiu to sit on it, and said: "I heard that you waited for half an hour and came here so early in the morning, my eyelids almost jumped..."
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "Look at what you said, my son can't be here to bring good news to you!"
After hearing this, Kangxi leaned forward and asked with concern: "Is it your Fujin side, Dong E's twins?"
Brother Ninth hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It was a single child. Fengsheng and his three brothers carefully raised it for three years before they nursed it back. When it comes to Xiaosi, my son hopes that he will be strong and become a Batulu."
Kangxi's newly born expectation disappeared and he said: "What kind of joy is that?"
Brother Jiu's eyes sparkled and he said: "My son has thought of a good way to open source!"
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "Every piece of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs has a use. It is not as good as the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It can give you money as capital at will."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No capital, not even a penny."
Next, he did not show off, but directly expressed his thoughts, saying: "Yesterday, after Xinyu's disposal, the slaves and slaves in the property under my name will also start to be sold by the government. The Ministry of Revenue has started to make statistics, and my son thought of a Feng Yin Bank." Ku’s method…”
"Although these houses, shops, farmland, and farmland all have market prices outside, Khan Ama also knows that there are markets outside without price. Even with my son's status, if he wants to add some wealth, it will be hard to come by. Wait. opportunity……"
"Xinyu has more than a dozen houses and shops under his name, eight or nine in Zhuangzi, as well as some antiques and treasures. We will bid directly and the one with the highest price will get it. In this way, the property originally worth one hundred thousand can be acquired. Two hundred thousand dollars just enriched the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance..."
"If this is used as a regular practice, and if an honorable official dares to break the law again in the future, then arresting them will not be a bad thing for the court. It will be much more cost-effective than ordinary redemption..."
Kangxi listened to Brother Nine talking incessantly and his eyes fell on his chest.
There is an obvious bulge, and on the surface is something like a book title.
Earlier, when Brother Ninth came to report something, he always had a rough outline of the topic, but this time he just kept talking.
Kangxi pointed at Brother Jiu's chest and said, "What is that?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
After he finished talking to Brother Fourteen and Nersu, he sobered up a lot and knew that he couldn't speak directly, otherwise it would seem like he was making a false accusation.
If Khan Ama is really angry, the two ministers of the household department and the fourth elder brother will be eaten up.
Also, the Han Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had just been impeached for blackmailing his subordinates. If he mentioned this matter at this time, it seemed to be a reflection of someone's corruption, and he was suspected of adding insult to injury.
Brother Jiu had no close friendship with the ministers and ministers above him, so there was no reason why he had to stab him.
He would not do anything like that that would harm others and not benefit himself.
He temporarily changed his words.
"Can't I see it?"
Kangxi's voice was a little cold.
Brother Jiu didn't waste any more time and hurriedly took out the book, stood up and raised his hands, saying: "I wanted to show it to Khan Ama, but I was afraid that you would be angry, so my son didn't want to take it, and I don't blame the people below.
The rules are really old and they are all based on precedent."
Kangxi saw that he had made up for it immediately, and he was also curious, so he motioned to Liang Jiugong to present it.
After seeing the content clearly, Kangxi pondered: "How many percent is this estimate from outside? Fifty percent? Seventy percent?"
This property price is really unfamiliar to him and he is not very familiar with it.
Brother Jiu stretched out his finger and said: "The house is less than 20%, and the land is 35%..."
Kangxi was silent.
After a while, he took a breath and said, "What precedent are you talking about?"
Brother Jiu said: "The precedent for the sale by the Ministry of Household Affairs is to depreciate the price based on the red deed price registered by the Eight Banners Division in the early years."
Kangxi was not an emperor who didn't know the world. Naturally, he knew that the property of the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners had been stipulated when he came to Beijing.
It has been more than sixty years since the Eight Banners entered the customs.
Even a fool knows that prices more than sixty years ago were different from today.
He glared at Brother Jiu and said, "Is this the good news you gave me? How happy is it?"
Brother Jiu said: "It turns out that the rules are outdated. If we change the rules, the money put into the treasury can be several times more. Isn't this a happy event? In the future, if a noble prince dares to violate the law, it will not be a bad thing for the court."
"Absurd! Is Feng Ying's bank so full? Isn't it a good thing to confiscate the house?" Kangxi scolded.
Brother Jiu whispered: "It's not a bad thing. Not to mention the income, I will also save a portion of the salary in the future. I will make a profit after all."
Kangxi glared at him and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not bothered enough, and you still want to bother the court officials?"
Brother Jiu shut his mouth tightly and refrained from replying.
What's the point of tormenting yourself?
Isn’t this a good intention?
I just don't want others to take advantage of the imperial court.
The extra money didn't go into my own pocket.
It was out of filial piety to Khan Amma that I had this unnecessary worry.
Pack your own pocket...
Brother Jiu quickly admitted his mistake and said: "It's my son's fault. He acted too stingy. Otherwise, forget it. You just treat it as your son and didn't mention it..."
"It's just that if you sell according to this appraisal, you will still lose money. Why don't you, Oma, just give me a favor and give your sons a share..."
"The brothers, nephews and nieces above have made a lot of additions and chewed a lot. The little brother below will live in the palace for many years in the future. It would be good to buy a shop in advance to earn some pocket money..."
There are more than 20 industries, how can you make a profit by yourself?
Even the money spent on official purchases was saved.
Seeing the expectant look on Ninth Brother's face, Kangxi really couldn't bear to look at it: "When the time comes, I will have the reputation of seizing the slave's property. Is that good? That is the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, not the internal treasury!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
It seems that he is suspected of embezzling the slave's property.
The rules of the Eight Banners are clear. As an emperor, you cannot seize the king Niu Lu.
It's really not good to be suspected for something worth more than ten or two hundred thousand taels.
Brother Jiu sighed, feeling very distressed, and said: "Then there is no way to have both ends..."
Kangxi said nothing and his eyes fell on the book again.
If Brother Jiu had not come to see him today, according to the valuation of the Eight Banners Division, these properties would have been sold to the government, and instead of the one hundred thousand taels of silver that should have been recovered, only 20,000 taels would have been recovered, and the other 80,000 taels would have been taken by the buyers.
Who is the buyer?
They are princes and nobles.
Although Kangxi had been in charge of government for many years and knew the principle of "when the water is clear, there will be no fish", he still couldn't stand his slaves eating meat and drinking soup by himself.
"Snapped!"
He threw the book into Brother Jiu's arms.
Brother Jiu quickly caught it.
"Write a detailed statement and submit it carefully regarding the bidding process for government property sales!" Kangxi ordered in a cold voice.
Brother Jiu bowed and said: "My son will definitely write well..."
When he came out of Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu straightened his waist.
My heart is selfless and the world is wide.
Khan Ama should know that his son is well, right?
He didn't think about fighting for power, he only thought about being filial to the emperor, which was the first among his sons...
Brother Jiu knows his own shortcomings as well as his strengths.
Be a "loved son" without power and you won't suffer...
