Chapter 964: I’m still waiting for Khan Amma to praise me for my monthly ticket)
The fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were standing by. They looked at each other in confusion after listening to the ninth elder brother's words.
If someone else said this, it might not be true, but if it were Lao Jiu, it would be the truth.
Beat Xiao Ai and hold a grudge.
They were waiting for Shu Shu's reaction.
Shu Shu nodded and said in a gentle tone: "Well, I'm right. If your good intentions are not rewarded, then don't wrong yourself."
The fourth and seventh elder brothers felt that Shu Shu seemed to be protective of his shortcomings.
Shouldn't I give you some advice?
This is really a good wife, and her husband takes care of her.
The ninth elder brother immediately stood up, got out of the carriage, and called to the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, seventh elder brother, let's go quickly, don't delay, I'm still waiting for Khan Ama to praise me!"
The fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were too lazy to pay attention to him, so they got off their horses and prepared to enter the yard.
The group was at Xiaodongmen.
Brother Jiu took two steps, then turned back to urge Shu Shu, saying: "Come back quickly, while the sun is still bright, you can still bask in the child."
child……
Shu Shu didn't dare to delay and said hurriedly: "Then I'll go back first, Akdan is going to cry!"
After saying this, Brother Jiu felt uneasy and said: "Come back soon, it's hot, don't get angry from crying!"
Shu Shu lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage left the small east gate and went to my brother's house.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and asked worriedly: "Is Akdan uncomfortable?"
If that really happens, we must send the message to the imperial doctor as soon as possible without any delay.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, he just starts to recognize people. Every time he wakes up, he looks for Eni and cries when he can't find him. He just looks at him when he is young. If he is older, he will be beaten twice a day. He will be beaten no matter what.
Change the problem!"
Brother Si disapproved and said, "Just be reasonable when the time comes. I don't want to beat the children."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother, then glanced at the seventh elder brother, and said: "How many times have you two been your ama, and have you never fought?"
Fourth elder brother said: "Honghui is sensible..."
The seventh elder brother said: "Hongshu is honest..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Then why am I the one doing this crying dumpling?"
Brother Si glanced at him and said, "Children can't speak, so they will cry when things don't go their way. How can anyone not cry? Just be more patient and wait until you learn to speak."
The seventh elder brother was too lazy to talk to the ninth elder brother.
Sui Gen'er, if he doesn't do it, who will?
The brothers entered Changchun Garden and went to Qingxi Bookstore.
Before I could reach him, I saw someone coming out of the check-in room next to me.
It's the third elder brother.
The third elder brother's gaze moved around the faces of the three of them, and he focused on the ninth elder brother. Seeing that he didn't look anxious, he breathed a sigh of relief, but with worry, he said: "Is Akedun okay? Listen to yourself.
I found out that he was seriously ill, so I was worried and wanted to come over and ask for news..."
This is my brother.
The fourth elder brother said: "The imperial doctor prescribed medicine to relieve the internal organs and clear away the heat. The high fever has subsided, and the princess stayed in the palace to take care of her."
Although he arrived a step late, he also knew that Brother Jiu had helped, and just to prevent trouble, he ignored the matter.
The third elder brother nodded and said: "That's good. Speaking of which, it's not just the eldest son of the prince, but also the eldest grandson of Khan Amma. What's the difference..."
Just like his poor brother, if he were still around, he would be the real eldest brother. How could he be so arrogant as the boss?
Although Ninth Brother said that he had given a helping hand today, he still disliked Akedun very much and curled his lips after hearing this.
The appearance of such an emperor's eldest grandson is too poor.
Shameful!
It can't add glory to Yuqing Palace, and it can even hinder it.
With such a brother standing there, even Hongxi, whose "smartness" outweighed his cousins, couldn't get up.
Thinking this way, Brother Jiu felt much more comfortable, and his face also showed joy.
How do you know that a horse is a blessing in disguise and it is not a disaster?
It's good to leave Aktun to trouble the prince.
At this moment, the fourth elder brother had already told the messenger eunuch at the door that he wanted to see him.
The eunuch went in to report it.
It's a hot summer day, so the windows of Qingxi Bookstore are open. Although we can't hear anything going on outside, we can still see a few brothers staying there.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Pass the message to the Fourth Beile, the Seven Beile and the Ninth Brother to come in."
The eunuch went out in response and delivered Kangxi's oral edict.
The fourth elder brother, the seventh elder brother and the ninth elder brother responded and entered the Qingxi Bookstore.
The third elder brother was a little embarrassed.
Why didn't you send him a message?!
Then he came to his senses and saw that the three men had come to return their lives, and they had just been invited by the eunuch.
I am just waiting here, waiting for news from Yuqing Palace, and I haven't said anything about the meeting with your Majesty yet.
It's too late to tell now...
In the Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi glanced at Brother Nine and Brother Seven, feeling a little dissatisfied with them.
The ninth elder brother didn’t know how to avoid suspicion and kept things secret. The seventh elder brother was also the same. He was harassed even if he didn’t stop him...
Now was not the time to discipline his son, Kangxi looked at his fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother didn't hide it this time, and told the ninth elder brother that he had gone over to help with the fever.
By the time he brought the imperial doctor over, most of Aktun's fever had subsided.
The imperial doctor directly prescribed a prescription to remove the heat, and the medicine was administered smoothly. The remaining fever also subsided. Now just clear the stomach and intestines and rest.
Kangxi nodded and felt relieved.
He didn't like Aktun, but Aktun was the prince's eldest son after all.
The prince does not have a legitimate son, so in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest son has a different meaning.
Now that the prince valued his second son, Kangxi did not agree.
That's Aktun's half-brother, which is inappropriate.
It just depends on what the prince wants. The third elder brother of Yuqing Palace has ordinary qualifications.
Therefore, Kangxi planned to comply with the princess's request and add people to Yuqing Palace during the draft next year.
But Brother Ninth...
He still couldn't help but lectured: "You're not a doctor. Since I'm asking you about ways to reduce fever, you can just tell me. Why are you going to cause trouble? Why did you bring Fujin with you?"
Although Mr. Dong E had finished his two months of confinement, he looked very weak and obviously needed some time to rest.
The ninth elder brother said: "That time, the fourteenth elder brother had a high fever and it was easy to reduce the fever. This time it is different. The soju reduces the fever. It is not a problem for adults, but it is also dangerous for children. After all, it is the alcohol that kills people in panic."
, the child has tender flesh and develops a rash; the fever also subsides quickly, he is prone to swaying, catching colds, and the fever will become more severe later. He is just passing on the message, and the imperial doctor cannot deal with it if it is not clear, for fear of delay..."
Kangxi knew this, but he still felt that Brother Jiu was a little short-minded.
Is this vindictiveness?
If you don’t give me a few eggs, it’s easy to get into trouble, and I can’t think of my past grudges...
The fourth elder brother still remembers what the ninth elder brother said at the door. He can't really discipline him, as he will be cold-hearted in the future.
It is not a bad thing to have one more person with such an innocent heart among brothers.
He changed his words and said: "Khan Ama, this method of reducing fever with soju is really effective. You can ask Tai Hospital to promote it. High fever is dangerous, not only for children, but also for adults. Every year when the seasons change, people often
Sometimes the epidemic causes high fever..."
This was a serious matter related to people's livelihood. After Kangxi heard this, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Why can shochu reduce fever? How is it better than warm water?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while, looked at Liang Jiugong, and said, "Excuse me, Shuida, please bring me a bottle of soju and tell me directly that I don't understand."
Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi, saw Kangxi nodded and retreated.
Brother Jiu said: "The soju is not strong enough. If it is really burned, it is useless. You have to steam the alcohol several times. That will reduce the fever quickly, but as my son just said, it will cause panic and rash; there are also
Even if it is intoxicating, don't drink it in your stomach, or smell it too much. You have to prevent people from being drunk to death. The third thing you need to be careful about is that the fever is reduced too quickly, which can easily hurt people, cause cold symptoms, and even more so when the fever returns.
It’s dangerous, it’s because of these trivial things that my son doesn’t dare to let go…”
The word "alcohol" was not unfamiliar to Kangxi.
During the northern tour the year before last, the eldest elder brother and the fifth elder brother encountered a bear in the paddock. The fifth elder brother hurt his face, so Mr. Dong E steamed the wine several times to produce alcohol.
After Kangxi, people also saw it. It was extremely strong wine, and after half a sip, your stomach would burst into flames.
This kind of strong liquor should be the most suitable for Mongolians.
There was originally a shortage of food, and Zhili issued a prohibition on alcohol. Kangxi was worried that it would be ineffective, so he did not ask people to prepare alcohol, thinking it would be similar to strong liquor.
Now when Brother Jiu said this, he realized that alcohol is alcohol and cannot be replaced by soju.
He looked at Wei Zhu and said, "Go to my brother's office and ask Jiu Fujin for a bottle of alcohol."
Wei Zhu agreed and was about to retreat.
Brother Jiu quickly called to Wei Zhu and said, "Just take one bottle, don't take too much."
Wei Zhu responded: "Don't worry, Lord Jiu, the emperor ordered one bottle too."
Brother Jiu felt relieved and nodded: "Go ahead..."
Then, he explained to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, it's not that my son is stingy, but the family has prepared four bottles in case Fengsheng and the others use them. Today I went to Yuqing Palace and got two bottles..."
Kangxi nodded.
This is also rare, not an ordinary thing. Two bottles can be given to Yuqing Palace. Jiu Age is good, and Dong E's is also good.
Brother Jiu is a bit clumsy and can't say nice things, but he is soft-hearted.
Even though it was Aktun who was seriously ill and he had a problem with him, he did not just sit back and watch.
At this time, Liang Jiugong had already brought up a tray with two wine bottles and several wine cups, and said: "Your Majesty, these are two kinds of shochu, one is ordinary shochu, and the other is Erguotou from Nancheng's Yuanshenghao"
, relatively strong..."
Kangxi nodded and looked at Brother Nine.
Brother Jiu then stepped forward and poured a cupful of the Erguotou.
The drink looks clear, but the taste is very strong, not as good as alcohol, but it still looks good.
The ninth elder brother held the wine cup, looked at the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother and said, "Can you please roll down your sleeves, show your arms, and give it a try..."
Brother Si said: "I'll do it..." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms.
He looked at Brother Ninth and was slightly satisfied. Finally he was not stupid enough and went directly to the emperor's father to check.
Brother Jiu poured half a cup of wine on it and spread it with his hands.
The fourth elder brother immediately noticed the difference and looked at his arm.
They were on their way on horseback just now. Although it was evening, it was still a little hot.
He wore several more layers on his body, covering himself so hard that his whole body was boiling hot.
Now my arms feel like the wind is blowing, and they feel much cooler.
There was also a lot of alcohol visible to the naked eye on the arm.
"Did the wine fly?"
Brother Si asked: "Does the reduction of high fever have anything to do with this?"
Brother Jiu said: "Brother, I think it has something to do with it. It's the fever that has gone away. Can you touch it and see if it's cooler than other places?"
Brother Si touched it and found that the hot and cold areas were much different between the areas where the wine was stained and the areas where the alcohol was not.
Kangxi stood up, walked over, and touched it with his fingers.
Then, he looked at the wine cup in Brother Jiu's hand and said, "Come on, I'll try it too."
Brother Jiu didn't stop him. It was fine even if he wiped his whole body, let alone just so casually.
Seeing that Kangxi had rolled up his sleeves, Brother Jiu poured the remaining half cup of wine on.
Kangxi also understood the principle of reducing fever.
In fact, it has the same effect as wiping with warm water.
Wiping the body with warm water also cools down the body. This is faster than that, and the cooling force is much stronger.
No wonder Lao Jiu was so scrupulous about this method of reducing fever that he did not dare to directly send a message to the imperial physician.
Such a strong smell of alcohol would make even a light-drinking adult drunk, let alone a child.
Also, if the fever subsides quickly, it is indeed easy to catch a cold and worsen the condition.
He looked at Brother Jiu and praised him in his heart. He was sometimes careful.
Alcohol can indeed be included in the Royal Pharmacy Reserve.
But alcohol is also the true essence of wine.
It is obtained by distilling shochu several times, which consumes more food.
What is the alternative?
At this time, Wei Zhu also came back and took a bottle of alcohol.
I did a simple test and found that the cooling rate is indeed faster than that of Erguotou.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said: "You are on lockdown and have time to read books and look for books on winemaking in previous dynasties to see if you can find a way to make wine without using food..."
Brother Jiu's face immediately showed pride and he said: "This son has already thought about it..."
Having said this, he looked at Si Age and said: "Fourth Brother, potatoes are high-yielding and you can use them to make wine. However, it is not a serious food and may not taste good. What my brother was thinking before was that when potatoes are popularized, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will open a few places.
Officials cook pots, use potatoes to make wine, and then sell them directly to Mongolia and exchange them for wool and cowhide. They are used to keep out the cold. They like any strong liquor. The rest can be used to evaporate alcohol and prepare military supplies and the imperial pharmacy.
…”
The potatoes in Huangzhuang are planted in early March and can start growing in mid-to-late June.
Brother Si's eyes lit up, this is a good way to promote potatoes.
As long as they can be exchanged for money, people are willing to plant it.
Kangxi heard the words "official roasted pot".
The addition of the word "official" makes it very straightforward.
Like cashmere weaving, it will become one of the "open source" industries of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When he looked at Brother Jiu, he felt more loving.
This son talks about money all day long, but he is actually not a stingy person.
Otherwise, as the prince, he could directly arrange for his subordinate Bao Yi to open a few wineries in other places where cooking pots are not allowed, and that would be a steady stream of money.
But he was public-minded and thought about the income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Before, Kangxi was still hesitant about whether to let Brother Nine return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the affairs of the Accounting Department were over.
He is eighteen, not too young. If he goes to the former court to learn errands, he can also go to Xiaojiuqing Yamen for a round.
Now it seems that it is better to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as they can move around...
