Chapter 689: My dear brother, go and ask for monthly votes)
Brother Thirteen was silent.
He thought about Brother Ninth's reaction just now, and it was indeed not quite right.
Apart from anything else, I have no intention of getting angry at all.
When I thought about the shortfall of more than 300,000 taels of silver, I felt unsure; when Brother Ninth mentioned one million taels, he seemed confident.
In the middle, I still had to settle accounts with myself and my fourteenth brother, and even with the two empresses.
It's really not like borrowing money, it's more like sharing a share. That's why I mentioned the distribution method at the beginning.
If ordinary interest is paid directly when the money is repaid, no one will refuse to take it for a few dollars.
"One million people? Will the cashmere weaving farm be profitable?"
Brother Thirteen said: "What can Brother Ninth do to separate himself?"
The fourteenth elder brother smiled happily and said: "Does this need to be said? The profit is too big to be swallowed by one person. After all, it is facilitated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Instead of returning it directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is better to share it with the brothers.
Well, even Khan Amma won’t say anything..."
From last year to this year, the fourteenth elder brother has come to know what "brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful".
This is the request of the royal father to his sons. If anyone touches this line, there will be no good end.
Just like the third elder brother, the prince's hat is gone.
Just like a prince, being implicated by his son, if the prince hadn't come forward, it's hard to say how it would have ended.
He scratched his head and said, "I still need to raise some more money. Where can I find it?"
Who doesn’t love silver?
Brother Thirteen was also moved.
Then he pressed down.
There is really no place to get together, because the mother-in-law has no contact with her natal family, and he is not close to his maternal family.
The empress had limited money in her hands, so she gave herself the bulk this time.
He glanced at the excited Fourteenth Brother, fearing that the Fourteenth Brother would act randomly and mess up the Ninth Brother's affairs.
Whether it's repairing a hole or gathering people, I hope everything goes smoothly.
This will save you the chance of getting down to business if you guess wrong.
The thirteenth elder brother advised the fourteenth elder brother: "Why don't you forget it first, maybe you are overthinking it!"
The fourteenth elder brother shook his head and said: "How can we forget it? If you guess it, it will be a big sum of money; even if you guess it wrong, do you still have to worry about the ninth brother defaulting on the bill?"
He also saw Brother Ninth's economic ability.
Several things he organized in the Ministry of Internal Affairs earned the emperor's father's internal treasury hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
What I'm worried about now is where to get money.
Today's money was all earned by him in Yonghe Palace, in the name of being an errand at the end of the year.
I didn't mention Ninth Brother, otherwise I would have thought that Ninth Brother was fooling me with money because of my mother-in-law's protective nature, and I might as well blame Concubine Yi's mother later, which would be counterproductive.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the Thirteenth Brother reminded him: "Even if you have guessed, you should keep it in your heart. Don't make noises. Others will know and spoil Ninth Brother's plan. Ninth Brother is not a lenient person. You have to
Offend him again and see if he turns around and ignores you?"
Brother Fourteen pursed his lips...
Brother Ninth is quite easy to coax, but Sister-in-law Ninth is a woman and not very generous...
I will go back to the study room to study tomorrow. Where can I find another sum of money?
It can’t be so little anyway!
If they are really members of one million, then the eldest brother and the fourth brother will both get 10%. If the dividends are divided according to this ratio, it will also be 10%; I only have one share, and most of it belongs to the empress.
Brother Fourteen's heart feels like grass, and his head is full of money...

Second room, study room.
Brother Jiu took out the piece of paper he had written on before and wrote two lines at the bottom.
The fourteenth brother is ten thousand taels, note, and the concubine is 70%.
When he finished writing, the ninth elder brother discovered that there was only one empty line between the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother.
"I forgot Yuqing Palace..."
Brother Jiu said: "In recent years, the prince has been competing with the eldest brother. I heard that the eldest brother borrowed one hundred thousand taels. The prince should have an extra ten thousand to twenty thousand..."
The prince prides himself on being of noble birth, and does not discuss seniority with his eldest brother. He only talks about superiority and inferiority, and always takes the lead.
Shu Shu was already very calm.
Even though she didn't like the prince, she knew that the money was not for the prince, but for Kangxi.
She said: "That's almost it..."
The ninth elder brother's eyes fell on the line of the fourteenth elder brother, and he said unhappily: "Concubine De has a mother, but Concubine Hui does not..."
As for your own mother-in-law, just be filial in private when the time comes.
Shu Shu also respected Concubine Hui's character and conduct, but still shook her head and said: "That's good, it shouldn't be expanded..."
The more people there are, the easier it is to cause trouble.
Now this simple and crude way is good.
Even if someone is unhappy later, it is your own choice and has nothing to do with others.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, I know!"
He said it in front of everyone at the gate of Changchun Garden yesterday. The brothers knew about borrowing money, but they didn't know whether it was true or just a joke. Only the twelfth brother didn't know yet.
Brother Jiu will write it down.
However, he estimated that the twelfth elder brother did not have much money, and should be about the same as the thirteenth elder brother.
The next day, Brother Jiu and Shu Shu slept until they woke up naturally.
Brother Jiu stretched his waist and said, "It would be nice if I could take a few more long vacations a year..."
Shu Shu looked at him and said: "Now that I want to be lazy, what if I move? I will be halfway around the imperial city..."
After they moved out, Shu Shu paid it back. They were female relatives. It was okay to go to Di'anmen and Shenwumen on the day of greetings. However, Jiu Age, an adult prince, could no longer walk in the inner court. He had to enter the palace through the Qing Gate, and his range of activities was also limited.
It's just the front court.
If you want to come to the inner court, you must have a good reputation.
Brother Jiu calculated the distance and said, "I'd better take a carriage. It's such a long distance. I don't ride a horse. It's cold in winter, hot in summer, and dusty in spring and autumn..."
Shu Shu agreed: "Yes, it's better to take a car."
He is not a prince vying for a big position, so there is no need to be harsh on himself.
There are more minor problems, which is not a bad thing.
After breakfast, Cui Baisui came over to report: "Master, Fujin, the fifth master is here and waiting in the living room."
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "I've sent you some money. I'll go over and have a look."
Shu Shu nodded, feeling that this was also the case.
If this were not the case, the fifth elder brother would have come directly to the main courtyard.
Although the brother-in-law and his sister-in-law have a relationship that avoids each other, there is no time to distinguish between them.
When Ninth Brother is here, there is no need to avoid it.

Front yard, living room.
The fifth elder brother is sitting in the living room with a bowl of chrysanthemum tea in his hand.
He touched his mouth and found two big bubbles inside.
It was only hindsight that I guessed that Brother Nine had a big hole.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t test it in front of everyone.
He and Lao Shi can both make up for the small troubles.
How much is this?
In one night, the fifth elder brother had two watery bubbles in his mouth.
This refers to the favor given by the prince after the household division last year. In order to worry about insufficient supplies prepared by each government, the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued to draw supplies for six months, but stopped in May this year.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but frowned and said: "You can't just sit idle like this. Is it a loss? In the early years, it was one tael of silver and a thousand coins. In these two years, it was only 880 coins. In a few years, it will probably be reduced to 1,000 coins."
For eight hundred coins, you can ask people to search for shops and houses, buy them and rent them out, and you will get a profit. If you can't buy them in the inner city, you can go to Nancheng to inquire. The world is peaceful, and the population of the capital is increasing year by year.
…”
The fifth elder brother shook his head and said: "If you don't worry about that, you won't be short of money!"
Brother Jiu saw that he was stubborn and said: "Fifth brother, you are a prince and you have no shortage of money. But what about the nephews below? You have become a mama and don't prepare some property for your nephews? How many people in Prince Gong's palace?"
How is your cousin doing now? As a general of the auxiliary country, his annual salary of two to three hundred dollars a year is not even enough to support the family..."
The fifth elder brother was a little confused and said: "Isn't it too early to worry about this now?"
He only has one son now, and the other sons are still missing.
Brother Jiu said: "Why is it so early? Is it so easy to save money? You have to do it year after year. How can you just let your money go to waste..."
