Seeing how stingy Brother Jiu was, no one was too lazy to answer the question.
Only the fifth elder brother took it seriously, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't compete with the ninth younger brother and sister for food!"
The ninth younger brother and sister are now heroes and are pregnant with his biological eldest nephew.
After all, Dongzi dishes are different from summer dishes. The service is meticulous and the output is limited.
It's really unbearable for a family to ask for help twice.
The others were fine, but the eighth prince was a little surprised.
Did Lao Jiu build this greenhouse for him?
this……
Is it such a big show off?
Can Khan Amma allow it?
He looked at Kangxi's expression, but couldn't see anything.
Kangxi had already received a round of filial piety before, and tasted radish leaves and cabbage. He was not surprised by this greenhouse, but what was surprising was the appearance of Brother Jiu as a food protector.
When I came up with a profitable business before, I was happy to share the profits of millions of taels, but now I am stingy?
It seems there is a treasure in this greenhouse.
As for what the fifth elder brother said, Kangxi didn't listen at all.
Born in the royal family, he is the only one in his twenties who can still listen to words like the fifth elder brother and only listen to the literal meaning.
Fortunately there is only this one.
The eldest brother looked at the ninth brother, thinking of his two hundred thousand dollars, and couldn't help grinding his teeth.
What on earth did this bastard do with the money?!
There were six elder brothers who opened the house at that time, and the ninth elder brother borrowed money in front of everyone!
That is to say, Kangxi was still here, so it was hard for the eldest brother to expose his shortcomings. Otherwise, he would have to suppress the ninth elder brother and make him confess honestly.
Most of the money on the family's books is gone, which makes people feel uncertain just thinking about it.
There is nothing wrong with helping his big brother, but if there is anything else, Lao Jiu will have to explain it carefully.
The group of people talked and arrived at the southernmost part of the garden.
A stretch of the northern wall appeared in front of everyone.
The entire East Road, from west to east, is a row of houses.
It looks unremarkable like this.
Fourth elder brother lowered his head and suppressed a smile.
Just like last time, everyone will be shocked this time.
Sure enough, when they turned to the front and saw the front of the conservatory and the flower windows that hung from the ground up, everyone was stunned.
Not to mention that the windows are all floor-to-ceiling, they are all open tiles, not the inferior thumb-sized open tiles, the big ones are as big as a palm, and the small ones are as big as a child's fist.
With just the money spent on clear tiles, we can build a few more houses.
extravagant……
Kangxi's expression did not change.
This son is the son of a man who spends a lot of money. The family is small, and the young couple have ordinary food and clothing, so they probably spend a lot of money in vain.
The eldest brother was straightforward and patted the ninth brother on the shoulder and said: "If you want to eat Dongzi cuisine, you don't need to clean it up like this. You can just build a few ordinary houses and it will still work."
I didn't go to the main room on Lao Jiu's side, but the living room on Lao Ten's side didn't use open tiles either.
Brother Jiu was very proud and said: "How can it be the same? This greenhouse can produce two crops a year. Who said we can only grow vegetables?"
As he spoke, he led everyone to the west gate, pushed the door open, and then said: "Khan Ama, be careful where you step, my son will help you..."
It's early winter, it's freezing outside, and the greenhouse is green as far as the eye can see.
Kangxi was reminded and found that there was another cave. He nodded and entered the greenhouse.
The following princes and elder brothers followed in.
As for the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th elder brothers, the four younger ones were still playing in the garden and did not follow them.
Except for the fourth elder brother, the other princes' elder brothers do not know how to farm.
When I came in, I felt warm at first, like spring, and then it was green and very comfortable to look at.
There is the smell of mud mixed with other substances in the air, but no one is interested in it.
As for whether it was a vegetable seedling or a crop, I couldn't tell for a while.
Brother Ninth pointed at the corn, looked at his brothers with contempt and said, "Look, such good new grain is right under your nose. It has been available in the south for a long time. You have been in the dynasty for many years, but you never thought of it.
Coming to the north to try planting is really..."
The eldest brother said: "Isn't this the job of the local magistrate? What are we doing thinking about this?"
The third elder brother nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. If you are not in your position and do not plan for the government, running this place cannot be done on paper, nor can it be generalized. Only the local officials can prescribe the right medicine."
The fifth elder brother is used to cheering up his younger brother, but he doesn't know how to praise him. He said: "Even if you have to worry about it, not everyone has to worry about it. Maybe it's the household department..."
As he spoke, he thought that the fourth elder brother was always in the Ministry of Accounts, so he changed his words and said: "The Ministry of Accounts is in charge of accounts, so it shouldn't be in charge of that. So... is it Shuntian Mansion?"
Brother Qi didn't say anything, he just looked at the peppers that had just begun to bear fruit in the vegetable field.
Sprinkle the mutton kebabs with chili powder and the taste is really different.
The same goes for the roasted kidneys. In addition to the cumin, it seems to be more delicious with the addition of chili pepper.
The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and was shocked.
Isn't this greenhouse for growing vegetables? Isn't it for experimenting with growing new grains?
Brother Ninth wants to join the court?
It’s normal to think about it.
If you have never been in the imperial court, no matter how well the Ministry of Internal Affairs is run, it will only have a false reputation.
The powerful princes of the Eight Banners all wanted to join the court and take charge of the ministry.
Is this targeting the household department?
When the prince walks, in addition to the Liubu Yamen, there is also the Xiaojiuqing Yamen.
The six departments are arranged in order: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work.
The household department is second in order.
But in fact, there is no prince in charge of the official department, and there is no prince walking around at the moment.
In this way, Hube becomes the best place to go.
The eighth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother.
Lao Jiu and his fourth brother are usually very affectionate, so this plan is not tolerated.
The fourth elder brother noticed that the eighth elder brother was sizing him up and was noncommittal.
Kangxi didn't know corn stalks, but he could see the difference between this area of cultivation and others.
He glanced at the neat rows of crops and Ming Wa, knowing that this was not about yield.
There is no need to promote greenhouses.
It should still be for raising seedlings.
Before he could ask, Brother Jiu proudly stated his plan, saying: "This autumn and winter, write down the approximate planting, plowing, and harvesting times, and we can officially try planting in the spring of next year.
Choose two pieces of land each in Daxing and Haidian, and plant them in comparison. Take a look at the good land, mountainous land, sandy-alkali land, and the normal harvest..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and was a little surprised.
This promotion of fine seeds has nothing to do with buying and selling.
It seems that it shouldn't be in Brother Jiu's preference.
He directly asked Brother Jiu: "Why do you still have the patience to think about this?"
Brother Jiu said: "'If the people are prosperous, the people will be rich, and if the people are prosperous, the fields will be fertile and easy to change'. Otherwise, it is impossible to 'make both the top and the bottom rich'."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "My son was short-sighted in his early years and did not think that the capital was poor. He only regarded it as the capital and the most prosperous place. However, he followed Khan Ama to Jiangnan to see it. In comparison, he saw that the capital was poor."
The shortcomings of Zhili..."
The princes' elder brothers present, except for the fourth elder brother, all accompanied the Hu on his southern tour this spring. Thinking about the people's livelihood and economy in Jiangnan, it is indeed very different from Zhili.
The eldest brother praised: "Lao Jiu is not bad, he has a sharp mind, and he can think of this. There is no shortage of rich people in the capital, but the people's lives are ordinary. There is a big gap between the whole north and the south of the Yangtze River. Farming is also a major event that affects local people's livelihood. One more grain
Planting is also a good thing..."
The third elder brother felt very regretful. Even Lao Jiu could think of this, why didn’t he think of it?!
If he had thought of it and accomplished it, he would not have been crowned as a county prince, but his achievement would have been worth half a hat.
The fourth elder brother knew that the ninth elder brother was impatient and still had a career worth millions in his hands. He thought about it and asked directly: "How about I help you next year?"
He was afraid that Brother Jiu would be delayed.
If corn is really cold and drought tolerant, it would be a good thing for the people if it were promoted a year earlier.
The room became quiet.
Everyone looked at Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "No need to lend a hand. If you have time, just take it directly. Anyway, the rest is trivial, just planting and recording."
If you think about it, the fourth elder brother has divided the population of the Eight Banners and has more manpower than the ninth elder brother.
He nodded and said, "Well, I'll send someone to take over next spring."
Kangxi: "..."
Princes: "..."
Brother Jiu put aside his worries and pointed to the vegetables on display and said: "There are about ten kinds in total. Look, the cucumbers are all blooming. They can be picked in more than a month..."
As he said that, he pointed to one of the tunnels and said: "That's a leek field. I heard you can harvest several crops. I'll add it to the New Year gift. Brothers will also try dumplings filled with leek fillings on their 30th. They're so delicious!"
The eldest brother listened with a smile and already planned to clean up a few empty rooms to make greenhouses when he returned home.
It is common to eat vegetables in summer, but there are too few types of winter vegetables. Even in the prince's palace, the only winter vegetables that are often eaten in the kitchen.
Although you can afford Dongzi vegetables outside, it is convenient to prepare one at home. Children can plant flowers, pick vegetables, etc. if they have nothing to do.
The third elder brother felt that his heart and liver ached!
The fourth child is so thick-skinned!
I am one step too late!
Although if you intervene halfway, the credit will be halved, but that is still credit!
The third elder brother gritted his teeth and said, "Is it really unusual for the ninth brother to put leeks in the New Year's gift?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, it's not only vegetarian, but also pork, plus a few cages of live chickens..."
The third elder brother said: "Then this gift is quite real!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, it's not anyone else, it's all family members, so what are you doing here?"
Having said this, he looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, my son has left some pigs for you. You must taste them carefully when the time comes. They are different from ordinary pork!"
Kangxi heard that pigs and chickens have big heads, but counting the days, the pigs in Jiu Age Baiwang Mountain should be put out of the market.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is it different? Are you drinking mountain spring water and eating herbs?"
Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi with surprise: "Khan Ama, how do you know?"
Kangxi snorted softly, besides these words, what other flowers could be made up?
No matter how valuable it is, it is still a pig and nothing else.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "But the most important thing about your choice is that it is not an ordinary domestic pig. It is a combination of wild boar and domestic pig. The coat color is brown. I heard from the old people in the village that this pork is the most delicious.
, chewy and chewy, not as hard and woody as wild boar, nor like stewed pork meat..."
