Yi Fei said: "Except for serious homework, I pay attention to everything. Fortunately, the people around me are good. Brother Jiu only works hard on eating and drinking, and he can't waste a few coins. It would be bad if he really has a friend who is a gambler and a smoker.
Yes, I am determined to learn from it.
Kangxi's brows widened.
"Don't worry about him, the staff in Baylor House are all old men..."
Speaking of this, he thought of Brother Jiu's recommendation of Fu Qing as the deputy commander. The Xiaoqi battalion deputy commander had not been replaced, and there were also the escort battalion and the infantry battalion.
You can ask the Ministry of War to take a look later, and those who are not working diligently can be dismissed.
Prince Xin and Prince An are bullying Ninth Elder Brother. As a Khan, I have to support him, otherwise the princes and nobles of Zhenglan Banner will look down on Ninth Elder Brother. With Ninth Elder Brother’s temperament, when the time comes,
I don't know how to make trouble yet.
The two entered Changchun Garden. Kangxi still had to deal with government affairs, so he ordered people to use the chariot to go back with Yifei. He went to Qingxi Bookstore in a few steps. Yifei sat on the chariot with a relaxed smile on her face.
.
It's just that the hand holding the handle is a little hard. Care makes you confused.
Thinking about the dispute between the prince and the eldest brother, thinking about the famous third elder brother, and thinking about the calm fourth elder brother, Yi Fei felt a headache. The fifth elder brother was ranked high, and the ninth elder brother was good with everyone.
Yeah, brothers, don't get involved...
As soon as the holy driver entered the garden, all the officials waiting in the waiting room began to wait for the summons to the Minister of Household Affairs and lowered their eyes, feeling helpless.
The fourteenth elder brother sat aside and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance longingly.
Kaiyinbu, the Minister of Household Affairs, sighed in his heart, looked up at the Fourteenth Brother and said, "Fourteenth Master, the list of ministers for these three relief projects has been agreed upon by the Ministry a long time ago."
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said: "If you want to send three people over, they can't all be ministers. The minister should take the lead, right? I'll recommend myself, so Lord Kai will help me!" "Fourteenth Master, there is no such rule.
..”
The Minister of Household Affairs said with a sad face: "A son with a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall."
This relief for the disaster-stricken people in Shandong was originally a favor from the emperor, but it was also a deterrent to local officials, so that no one would intercept the cheap grain and bring money there to purchase rice for large local households.
Just one minister and two other ministers will be enough. If the prince is gone, isn't it going to cause more trouble?
The fourteenth elder brother looked a little ugly and said: "I am also walking in the Ministry of Hubu, and I am also a candidate for the minister of relief. Why don't I follow the rules?" The Minister of the Ministry of Hubu told him that it was unreasonable, and he regretted not inviting Si A today.
Brother, come here together.
In the past two months, the fourteenth elder brother has been pressing down on the big Buddha, and the fourteenth elder brother has been quite honest. Unexpectedly, now, he has started to make a fuss.
Sweat dropped from the forehead of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Seeing that he refused to change his words, the fourteenth elder brother also knew that a minister could not be coerced, so he turned away and became sulky. At this moment, a young eunuch sent a message to the imperial minister, and he sent a message to the minister of household affairs.
Kaiyinbu stood up and said to the fourteenth elder brother: "The fourteenth master is sitting. I will go over first." The fourteenth elder brother nodded and said nothing more.
He walked out of the check-in room and looked at the door of Qingxi Bookstore. He still didn't have the courage to go there and ask for the order. The emperor would not let him go.
He had just started walking around the ministry. Even if he really had to go on a business trip, the older prince above him would have to take him with him.
But when the two princes went to provide disaster relief, the commotion became louder.
You know, this year is the 50th birthday of the emperor's father, and the local governors are all careful, and the scene is peaceful and prosperous. The fourteenth elder brother felt restless, so he left the small duty room and went to find the thirteenth elder brother.
When he found the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother said in a sour tone: "The fifth brother must have invited Khan Ama and Yi Fei's mother privately, or else Khan Ama will bring his concubine there?" Thirteenth elder brother
Said: "It's close, and it's convenient to go back and forth."
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said: "But in the garden, not only does Yi Concubine live as the hostess, but there are also two concubines!" The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother and said seriously: "
Except for Concubine Yi, it is not convenient for other concubines to go there."
It would be against the rules for the fifth elder brother to invite two concubines.
You must know that they, adult princes, should avoid taboos with official concubines, except for biological mothers and adoptive mothers.
There is also the exception of Concubine Hui, who has taken care of Zhaoxiang House. That is because she is senior and is different in age from the princes. The fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows, knowing what the thirteenth elder brother meant.
mean.
Pity arose in his heart.
The eldest brother does not like sex, and all the princesses in the palace are rewarded by the emperor. The prince loves sex, but he indulges in debauchery in Yuqing Palace.
The third elder brother is timid, and the fourth elder brother loves to pretend. This is related to the harem, but it is the most taboo.
The example of Prince Yeyeol is.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother and knew how grievances he had, so he said: "Don't think too much, the fifth brother's treat is for the sake of convenience. Sister-in-law Ninth's garden happens to be here. Wait for us later."
We have also divided a garden, so we can invite the elders to come and relax."
The fourteenth elder brother muttered: "Not to mention when we will divide the garden, even if we divide the garden, our queen will not be able to welcome her if she stays in the palace!" The thirteenth elder brother didn't know what to say.
Changchun Garden is such a large area. In addition to the emperor's father escaping from the noise and listening to politics, the young prince and his grandchildren also come to study with him, and there are also ministers from the ministry who come to take turns. There is not much space left for the concubines.
Whoever is brought here or not, it will not be their son's turn to speak.
Before the fourteenth elder brother could say anything else to the thirteenth elder brother, the imperial eunuch came over to send a message, and the emperor summoned him. The thirteenth elder brother followed the young eunuch away.
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother's back with a gloomy look on his face. The thirteenth elder brother who left also felt uncomfortable.
You know, before the fourteenth elder brother moved to Qiandongtousuo, he lived in Qianxi No.4zhuo first.
Not to mention Brother Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth took care of him every day. I only mentioned that the fever relief in the middle of the night was half a life-saving grace. As a result, Brother Fourteen did not remember it well at all.
However, the Fourteenth Brother is petty and paranoid, so he cannot openly offend him. The Thirteenth Brother feels a headache.
When the Thirteenth Brother entered the Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi asked him to sit down and said: "How many cement kilns have the Ministry of Industry opened in Gyeonggi?" The Thirteenth Brother said: "Three, one in Haidian and one in Fangshan.
Department, Yanqing District 1...
Kangxi listened and thought deeply: "We will count the output later and leave some for the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After hearing this, the Thirteenth Brother hesitated and said: "Khan Ama, the military department is lined up in front. The old barracks are being repaired and new barracks are being built. They plan to replace the rocks with cement bricks..." The main reason is to control the river in these years.
Embankments are being built, and the capital is constantly renovating houses, and the cost of the stones used in building houses is getting higher and higher.
Because we have to start pulling stones from a distance.
Now that cement is available, cement bricks can be used instead of stones, so all the yamen are paying attention. Previously, it was the Ministry of Works, but last month it was the Ministry of War's turn, and now there are only two flag colors.
After hearing this, Kangxi muttered: "Send people to survey around Rehe to see if there are lime mines. If so, open a cement kiln next to Rehe, and also ask the Ministry of Industry in Shengjing to arrange manpower in Shengjing."
Exploration outside the capital."
Brother Thirteen stood up and responded.
Kangxi looked at him and said, "How many powerful bows can you fire? There is a young guard in Jiubele Mansion who is only two years older than you and can already fire a fourteen-power bow."
After hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother felt ashamed and said: "That son can't compare. Nowadays, the eight-power bow is good, and the ten-power bow is just barely. If you occasionally shoot a few more arrows, your shoulders will be red and swollen for several days." Kangxi glanced at him.
, said: "I remember that your ten-strength bow was acceptable earlier, but why are you getting more and more tricky?"
The thirteenth elder brother blushed and said, "My son is lazy. He relaxed after leaving the study room."
Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Brother, shook his head and said: "My Thirteenth Brother is not lazy. In the past few years, you have learned errands carefully, but don't forget to ride and shoot. When the time comes, you will be surpassed by the Fourteenth Brother, which will make your brother laugh.
"
It was obviously a compliment, but the thirteenth brother was frightened when he heard it, and said hurriedly: "My son will definitely pick it up and won't slack off anymore."
Kangxi nodded and said, "It's also because the place where my brother lives is so narrow that it's not convenient for you to practice archery. Go back to the Prince's Mansion and pay more attention!" "My son accepts the order."
The thirteenth elder brother said respectfully.
Kangxi thought about the fifth elder brother learning from the ninth elder brother in raising chickens and pigs, but the whole army was wiped out. He also thought about the tenth elder brother who converted Zhuangzi into a pasture in Shunyi and raised thousands of sheep, so he asked the thirteenth elder brother: "I
I remember when you first started working as an errand, the Zhang family also gave away Zhuangzi, how was the business going?"
The thirteenth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "The people in the village are all members of the Zhang family, and their incomes are fixed. They rent a few hundred taels of silver every year, but the son has not moved, and he still follows him.
The original rules.”
Kangxi glanced at his thirteenth elder brother and said, "Is there any shortage of money?"
He did remember hearing someone mention the Thirteenth Brother's Zhuangzi once. It seemed that the money earned every year was distributed by the Thirteenth Brother to his two sisters. It was good to know how to be friendly to his younger sister.
In his early years, the Thirteenth Brother took care of the Fourteenth Brother. Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Brother with more warmth in his eyes.
Each of the sons has a different temperament and temperament, but when it comes to warm-heartedness, it is the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
Brother Thirteen was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not enough, but fortunately, my son still has tens of thousands of taels of silver. It was Brother Ninth who helped make money last time. Now he has used some, and most of it is still there."
Keep it and you can use it for another three to five years."
The main reason is that after a wedding, the expenses will increase.
If you want to have an extra bite in the dining room, you have to prepare your own money.
There are also favors and gifts. Even if he is in the palace, he is no longer the younger brother, and the favors of his brothers, sisters and uncles must also be left. Kangxi Xi's thirteenth elder brother was sincere and said: "Fortunately, I know that I am the head of the family."
I don't want to eat Fujin's soft rice."
Just looking at Ninth Elder Brother's self-satisfaction makes people dislike him. In other words, it is to save Ninth Elder Brother's dignity and not to expose him.
The life of Jiubele Mansion was prosperous, and it had little to do with Jiu Age, the head of the family. The main contribution was still made by Dong E, the inner head. However, Dong E was respectful and not ostentatious, so Kangxi turned a blind eye.
That’s all.
He thought of Dong E's biological mother, who came from a family other than a lord, and neither Amma nor her younger brother were talented, but they were able to live a prosperous life.
Qi Xi, like Brother Jiu, is lucky...
In October, colds, cervical spondylosis, and insomnia took turns, and my mood became depressed. I didn’t want to mention these irritating things to everyone. I replaced the heating air conditioner. It was 20 degrees indoors. Xiaojiu did not agree to it in November.
