Chapter 907: The same monthly ticket as the wolves)
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel a little worried and said: "It can't be that Yin De's daughter from Shengjing, right? With such a restless temper, where do you want to put it?"
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "That is not among the girls preparing for the draft."
He is notorious again, and Aling'a will not look for trouble.
"That's not right. The year before last, Aling'a's eldest daughter was also selected for the draft?" Brother Jiu was surprised and asked in confusion: "Isn't it the daughter of the descendant who was exempted from the selection by grace?"
Brother 10 thought for a moment and said, "I think I'm just going to go through the motions and meet Concubine Yi's mother..."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and thought of the draft in 1937. It felt like it had been a long time ago.
Thank God. If I had pointed out Aling'a's eldest daughter to him back then, then Shu Shu would have been someone else's.
Considering how much Shu Shu is loved by her parents-in-law, I am afraid that I will still buy a dowry now and wait for the marriage.
After all, it is now popular to marry late in the Eight Banners, and it is common for women to stay until they are 18, and it is common for people born after 9 to go out.
What about yourself?
Maybe it was the wedding last year, or maybe it was the wedding this year.
In short, I am still in my brother's office, and I can't say I haven't left the study yet...
Brother Jiu wanted to go back to Aling'a again, and said: "He can do whatever he likes. What does he want from you? I'm sorry that Amma misunderstood again and thought you were tormenting him. Isn't that an injustice?"
The tenth elder brother said: "It should be a conversation, to see if I have the intention to choose Xiang Fujin from Niu Hulu's family, or to see if I can stop them..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "It's just inexplicable! I told you, it's better not to meet him. He is a sinister person and behaves irregularly. He may be deliberately showing off. If he comes to your place for a while, if he doesn't save everything, he will use you as a flag.
Already..."
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "What the ninth elder brother said makes sense, then my younger brother is gone."
His relationship with the Niu Hulu family is as close as it is now, not close but close.
If we take one step closer, I'm afraid there will be more speculations from outside and more troubles.
After a while, when the brothers arrived at Xihua Gate, Brother Jiu got off the carriage and took people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He is now going out, accompanied by He Yuzhu, two close attendants, Sun Jin, two Haha Zhuzi, Xing He and Baoshan, and the four guards who are on duty, a total of eight people are following him.
Brother Twelve is already here, writing something under the bed.
Brother Jiu walked over and leaned over to look at it and said, "What are you writing?"
The twelfth elder brother stood up and said: "Yesterday I checked the household registers of many left-collar people and found that the increase in the population of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not only normal breeding, but also many people of the same clan and beggars with different surnames..."
Just like the Eight Banners are related to each other, the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Five Flags Coordinator are also inextricably linked.
These coated populations are still under the old Eight Banners from Longguan Pass, and are divided into various flag colors, and there are times when the colors are changed.
In the early years, there was not much difference, but since entering the customs, the coating of the upper three flags has become different from the coating of the lower five flags.
There are many officials and errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are more than 4,000 vacancies to be counted. It is also easier to choose women errands.
Under the Five Banners, the situation is much worse, and the selection of officials is not as good as the population of the banners.
Some people came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and moved their children to the Three Flags Protection Register of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as adoptive parents.
After the twelfth elder brother said this, he pointed to another one and said: "Besides the Manchu left leaders and the Mongolian left leaders, there are also many banner and drum left leaders marrying the people..."
There is nothing eye-catching about a normal marriage, but there are a few cases where people marry widows of common people or take people as concubines, and then their stepsons and stepdaughters become Baoyi.
Brother Jiu heard this and became serious.
It was a common practice in the wealthy family to keep concubines. The ninth elder brother's grandfather, Sanguanbao, had two wives on one side and several rooms for concubines.
The reason why the palace only selects maids from the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to know the basics.
Who knows what this new coating from outside is?
Brother Twelve pointed this out because he was also worried about this.
Brother Jiu mused: "Write this down, look back and see how to deal with it."
The twelfth elder brother nodded in agreement, then pointed to another one and said: "These families marry children with red belts, and some marry people from the same household..."
All dynasties have always adhered to the principle of "no marriage between good and bad people", and the Qing Dynasty was no exception.
Baoyi is also a Zhenghu Banner, and there are many people who marry each other with Qizuo Banners, but most of them marry with Qizuo Banners, and it is still rare to marry directly with yellow belts or red belts.
According to the "Eight Banners Regulations", marrying a member of the household is not allowed. In the future, if you are awarded a title or fills an errand, your status will be reduced compared to that of an ordinary person.
Brother Jiu said: "According to the law, all those who violate the law will be gathered together, and when the time comes, they will be asked to be judged..."
The twelfth elder brother agreed and continued to organize it.
After a while, Zhang Baozhuo came and took two brochures, looking very worried.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Why, there is no spare rent-collecting official house?"
It turns out that Brother Jiu remembered the Queen Mother's instructions and asked Zhang Baozhu to sort out the book of official shops in the imperial city, intending to select some good ones from the remaining official rooms and add them to Jiu Gege.
These shops in the imperial city still belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in the future, the rental income can be attributed to Jiugege.
If Jiugege becomes impatient and rents out, he can take it back and ask his subordinates to open a shop.
The right to use this shop will not be recovered until Jiu Gege's death.
In this case, the quality of this land is very important.
For the same shop, the annual rent of two or three hundred taels is of course different from that of two or thirty taels.
Brother Jiu then handed over the matter to Zhang Baozhu and asked him to walk around several streets in the imperial city to see where the boundaries were.
Zhang Baozhu took the booklet and said: "Yes, there is, but the ownership is a bit unclear at the moment..."
Brother Jiu listened to Hu Tu and said, "Why is it not clear? Either it is still in the palace, or it was given to the public. There is always a record..."
It has been more than 50 years since the Eight Banners came to Guan. All the houses in the imperial city are owned by the royal family. How can there be two homeowners?
Zhang Baozhu took two brochures and said: "According to this brochure, there are five shops in Xi'anmen Street. The houses are dilapidated. They are rented to the people to manage the third business at 50% of the market price. The annual rent is forty-eight taels of silver. But the slave passed by and took a look.
Isn't this the 'Yu Feng Building'? Yu Feng Building is a large shop with a width of ten rooms, with two floors, and a courtyard at the back. The total number of rooms in this building must be about forty..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
The annual rent of a prosperous shop is 48 taels?
Nonsense!
Living in the capital is not easy, let alone a shop, even a small courtyard in a secluded part of the inner city, with a rent of forty-eight taels, there is no place to rent it.
The trouble is not in the accounting books.
"Ha! I didn't realize that there is this rich man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Brother Jiu grinded his teeth and said.
If we didn't ask people to check the shop, who would have thought of this?
Brother Jiu glanced at Zhang Baozhuo and said, "Okay, I understand. Mr. Zhang should keep these two books. There is no need to mention this matter again."
Zhang Baozhu agreed, left the booklet, and retreated.
The twelfth elder brother had already put down his pen and listened to the whole process. Seeing the ninth elder brother's expression, he hesitated for a moment and advised: "Ninth elder brother, it is not possible for one or two people to do this, and there are also those involved behind.
It’s not one family or two families…”
Killing people's jobs is like killing their parents.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, brother knows what he knows, but he didn't expect that he would raise a second master under Khan Ama's nose!"
This is the shortcoming of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They are all members of the minority group, either relatives or friends.
In the end, they got together and deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors.
He hummed softly and had a plan.
The Censor’s Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
That's not an official position...
Now that it has been established for several months, we cannot just check the accounts.
That's all part of the job, so what's the credit?
Isn't this a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds right now?
Brother Jiu knew it well and was not in a hurry.
seeing is believing.
Even though Zhang Baozhu reported it, Brother Jiu still wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Therefore, when he came home at noon, Brother Jiu took a closer look.
Because it was almost dinner time, there was an endless stream of customers downstairs at Yufeng, and there were already people waiting for tables outside.
The table is full.
Brother Jiu glanced at his pocket watch and saw that it was only the second quarter of the afternoon.
Looking at this land and shop, no wonder the business is good.
It looks grand and is located at the intersection of Sancha, making it the best-located shop on the entire street.
Forty-eight taels of silver a year!
Brother Ninth couldn’t help but grind his teeth!
The normal price of a shop like this is more than ten times, estimated to be more than ten times.
In the end, only forty-eight taels of silver were handed over to the Accounting Department. Even the meat and bones were secretly handed over, leaving only a mouthful of soup for the public school.
That’s not true!
What's more, he has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, but he hasn't heard any news at all, which is also embarrassing for him.
His eyes darkened.
He didn't like to deal with Baoyi before, and besides Gao Bin and his son, he never promoted or got close to anyone else.
Now it seems that that won't work.
The Gao family has no foundation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is not well-informed.
Brother Jiu needs ears as well as eyes here.
He put down the car curtain and thought of this.
Even though he was worried, he didn't forget about buying mutton in Xisi. He went around half a street and bought mutton and sesame sauce biscuits.
Here at Shu Shu, Shi Fujin has just been sent away.
Throughout the morning, Shu Shu asked about the monks and temples on the grassland.
As a result, she discovered that almost all the people in the grasslands are now religious.
The princes of various tribes believed in religion and had begun to arrange for other sons who were not qualified to become monks.
The example above has its effect, and even those who have many sons from common people like to send them to become monks.
"Otherwise, what should we do? If we have more sons, we need to divide the family. But for the princes and Belles, the size of the pasture is fixed. If it is divided again and again, the pasture will become smaller. For ordinary people, too, the livestock will be smaller.
It is fixed, and there is no extra space to raise more cattle and sheep. If you divide it back and forth, the family will never be able to save money..."
When Shi Fujin talked about this, he was extremely transparent and said: "It's just like trying to kill the wolf cubs every spring. It's to control the size of the wolf pack and send the children to become monks. It's no different from that..."
Shu Shu looked at Shi Fujin and was shocked.
I never expected this to be the reason.
It actually sounds reasonable.
We can only talk about the difference between nomadic people and agricultural people.
