Chapter 737 Monthly Pass for Importing Fresh Products)
After a while, the 10th Prince wandered over to see Fu Song and asked about Baoyi joining the government to serve in the government.
When he knew that Brother Jiu had already prepared the number of people, he took a look at the list and said, "It's very good. You can make a copy and send it to me later. Our house will also use this number of people."
It seems that the manpower is less than half that of other Baylor Mansion, but it is enough.
As for whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs will cover it...
You can't just make up for it without spending money now. When the time comes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will no longer cover it, and if you want to reduce it, you will just complain.
First, roughly fill in the manpower, and then adjust where there is more or less.
"A good brother is like a younger brother." The tenth elder brother immediately understood the intention of his ninth brother and felt that he could imitate it directly.
Fusong agreed.
The tenth elder brother knew that everyone was tired after a long day of hard work, so he went directly back to the house.
Zhang Tingzhan felt that he had gained a lot of respect today. Not only was the ninth elder brother gentle and humble, but the son of a noble concubine was also different from the rumors.
He couldn't say this in front of Fu Song and Gao Yanzhong, but when he got home, he couldn't help but mention it to his old man and said: "Dad, why are there such words as 'Ninth Master is arrogant' and 'Tenth Master is unruly' outside?"
Rumor has it that my son met the two elder brothers today, and they are different from the rumors. The ninth master is humble, and the tenth master seems to be gentle..."
Zhang Ying stroked his beard. He had met these two elder brothers several times.
He said: "The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother only became adults last year and started working as errands in the second half of the year. However, these gossips have been out for a long time, so they cannot be taken seriously."
Brother Ninth didn't have a city government, so he wasn't friendly to old ministers like them, but he was still polite.
The tenth prince is a bit reticent, but due to his status, he has nothing to do with Jieao.
Zhang Yingren is an old man and naturally knows that among the two elder brothers, the ninth elder brother seems to be the dominant one. However, it is probably because of the tenth elder brother that he is slandered.
Suo'etu acted too domineeringly in his early years.
This may not be the reason why the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhang Tingzhan nodded and said: "I guess it's a villain who is causing trouble. My son saw that the two of them acted in a calm manner, and the ninth elder brother is also quite humane."
When Qi Xi and his wife left, Brother Jiu personally sent them off. He was as respectful as an ordinary son-in-law in front of Mrs. Qi.
There was also Gao Yanzhong, looking at Master Ma Qi's familiarity with him, he knew that he was a manpower needed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but because Brother Ninth was short of manpower, he took the initiative to come out and lower his rank to fill the vacancy.
Zhang Tingzhan said: "The reason why I can have such capable subordinates to follow me must be because of Brother Jiu's sincerity in treating others."
Zhang Ying glanced at his son and didn't explain much.
My eldest son has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time and is a little naive.
When Ninth Brother was short of manpower, Gao Yanzhong seemed to have been demoted, but he would not really suffer.
Even so, that elder brother's actions are all under the emperor's nose. It's not a bad thing for the eldest son to be naive...

Early the next morning.
Brother Jiu was a little stunned, looking at the big room in a daze.
The curtains were still the same ones as before, and the furnishings in the room looked familiar, but they were completely different.
The ground was much empty.
The roof is also much higher.
It wasn't until this moment that he really felt like moving.
Seeing that Shu Shu was about to get up too, he hurriedly said: "It's still early, you go on to sleep..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I've had enough sleep, and I'm a little hungry."
Brother Jiu didn't try to dissuade her. He just said, "The dining room has been opened. I asked people to prepare more food for you. This way, you don't have to wait if you want to eat."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'll ask someone to arrange it..."
Speaking of this, she thought about the small greenhouse at home. Yesterday, she, Amo and Enie went to take a look. The radish tassels and cabbage were almost grown, and they could be thinned out.
She said: "In two days, I will send some seedlings to the world, and ask the fifth sister-in-law to take them with her when she enters the palace and send them to some elders."
This refers to Ningshou Palace, Yikun Palace and Yanxi Palace.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu remembered that he had a plate of sesame sauce and radish tassels last night, and it tasted just right, so he nodded and said, "Okay..."
Thinking of the Qianqing Palace, he said: "I will bring some later and give one to the Qianqing Palace."
Shu Shu also did not expect that Kangxi not only did not reprimand the ninth elder brother this time, but also provided food for the person who opened the mansion, and also sent the son of the minister to serve as a ceremony.
At this moment, he can be described as a loving father.
Shu Shu said: "That's what it should be."
After the two of them had finished washing up and having breakfast, Brother Jiu was about to go out.
He felt a little worried and said to Shu Shu, "I'll be back at noon. If you feel bored this morning, I'll go to Ning'an Hall to talk and relieve my boredom."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "I sent Zhou Song to deliver food at noon, please don't come back..."
Brother Jiu frowned, unhappy.
Shu Shu whispered: "You must let the emperor see how virtuous I am as a daughter-in-law, so that you don't have to look back and find fault with me for not being virtuous. Let alone Fu Jin, even if there are two more, I will be stunned..."
Brother Jiu swallowed up his rejection and said, "Okay, I'll come back early during the afternoon so that you won't be bored alone."
Shu Shu said: "As long as I finish my errands, I don't have to suffer in the Yamen."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course. In a few days, Gao Bin will buy all the land in Changping. I also plan to go to Changping in person to see what the plan will be then..."
After all, it is next to the royal hot spring. Even if this place wants to sell takeout according to the distance and the number of hot springs, it cannot really be sold randomly.
In that case, it would be a mess and it would be unreasonable.
At that time, those along the royal hot spring will definitely be the clan, and the next layer will be the noble families.
As for those who are worse off, no matter how much money they give, they can only buy something further away.
Brother Jiu told Shu Shu his plan.
Shu Shu heard "clan" and said, "What about the princes?"
Brother Jiu had a tangled look on his face and said: "I want to leave a good place for them, but how do I calculate the money? Based on the cost, I definitely don't want to do it, and based on the market price in the past two years, it doesn't seem to be too much. good."
There is so much space, and if the brothers and their families save one, they won't be able to use much.
But that was definitely the best land and could have been sold at a high price.
Shu Shu thought for a while and then said: "Then set it aside and keep it first, and don't share it or give it to me for free. If you want it at that time, you can pay 70% or 80% of the market price; if you don't want it, you can go out for takeout later." , it’s not a loss either.”
In this "fund raising", the profit distribution is already not thin, there is no need to give it to Zhuangzi in vain.
Relationships are not like this.
It's better to have come and go.
Brother Ninth also thought this was good, at least he wouldn't suffer any loss, and said, "That's enough. If you can't get it right, you can ask your brothers to show off and give you a price."
Shu Shu laughed. This was really a quick response. He planned to use the princes as support.
At the first quarter of the morning, Brother Jiu went out.
Brother Ten is already outside.
Neither brother asked anyone to prepare horses, but prepared carriages.
When the tenth elder brother saw the ninth elder brother coming out, he got directly into the ninth elder brother's carriage. He took a long breath and said, "I didn't even wake up this morning. I feel that the room is getting stranger and stranger."
After all, my brother has lived here for more than ten years, so he is used to seeing everything he sees.
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "It's the same with me. I don't know if the Fourteenth can move to the Second Institute..."
Brother Ten thought for a while and said: "I guess I can't move. I seem to be sensible. There is also Xiao Fifteen, so I can't leave it alone."
The fifteenth elder brother has moved to Qiandong No. 2 and lives next to the fourteenth elder brother.
If Brother Fourteen moves to the west alone, it would be bad to leave Xiao Fifteen alone; if he brings Xiao Fifteen here, Xiao Sixteen will also have to move the palace within two years.
However, the four buildings in Qianxi have not been repaired yet and are obviously uninhabitable.
Brother Jiu said: "That's okay, he is the oldest over there, he should learn how to be an older brother."
The tenth elder brother had a smile on his face after hearing this.
In the early years, Ninth Brother also acted like an older brother to me, but he was just like an older brother, and most of the time he had to coax him, more like a younger brother.
Things are different now. The person who is close to Zhu is Chi, and what he learned from Sister-in-law Jiu is really like his elder brother.
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "What are you laughing at? How about that Bose?"
Bose has enough status, but he is young, only twenty-seven or eight years old.
Brother No. 10 stopped laughing and said, "It's refreshing. It's pretty good. It will save me a lot of worry in the future."
Brother Jiu said: "What about the guards and the ceremony? Do you have anyone to choose?"
The 10th Prince said: "My Haha Beads make up for the bodyguards. I won't use them for the ceremony for the time being. I'll talk about it later if there are suitable ones from Bao Yi's mouth."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Over there with Faka..."
The former head of the Niu Hulu family, who had been dismissed as a first-class public servant, was the brother-in-law of Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Wenxi.
He dismissed the duke and became silent. The eldest son of the family was about to become a man.
If the tenth prince wants to promote his cousin, this is a good opportunity.
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "Their current situation is that if they are promoted, they will cause trouble. If they remain silent, it is not a bad thing."
Faka's reputation was ruined and his future was ruined.
If he is promoted again and he doesn't give up on the title, he will start trouble again.
The tenth prince knew well that the ownership of the Niu Hulu family title might be due to the calculations of Aling and his mother, but the real decision-maker was the emperor's father.
Brother Ninth just mentioned this and didn't worry about anything else. He just said: "Fusong said that you should follow the number of people in our house to choose Dingkou, is it too little?"
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "Quite a few. We are just like you. We have nothing to do. There are only three of us. This population is enough now. It will be convenient to add more in the future."
Brother Jiu said: "That's right. It saves the mess, but not the worry."
The two brothers chatted and listened to the hustle and bustle on the road outside, which also seemed very novel.
The tenth elder brother said: "When is the ninth brother going to treat us?"
Brother Jiu said: "Let your sister-in-law rest for two days, I guess it will take until the end of the month..."
Brother Ten said: "Well, then we will treat you at the beginning of next month..."

In the main courtyard of Yuqing Palace.
The prince looked at the princess, with a gloomy look on his face, and said, "I told you, don't pay attention to the ninth and tenth elder brothers..."
