My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1176 Business
Shu Shu put her arms around Brother Jiu's waist, and felt relieved all of a sudden.

It seems to have a direction.

The husband and wife lay down again, without saying anything else, just holding hands like this, and fell asleep at some point.

The next day when Shu Shu opened her eyes, she saw Brother Jiu looking at her with dark circles under her eyes.

Shu Shu yawned, feeling that she was not doing well.

Brother Nine said: "There is nothing else, you go back to the cage and go to the House of Internal Affairs, find a reason to go to the Imperial Palace, and then look at the news from the Clan House."

Shu Shu said: "I'm hungry, I'll go to bed when my master leaves."

The husband and wife simply washed up and had breakfast.

The staple food is mending meat pie, served with mutton and radish soup, which tastes hot.

Now he has changed into a winter hat, is wearing quilted clothes, and a small fur vest.

When October comes, you can change into big woolen clothes.

The year before last and last year, several large woolen clothes were made. This year, Shu Shu didn't ask anyone to make them again, but only refurbished a few.

"Seeing that the earth dragon is about to be burned, I will prepare more coal this year, so that it will not be used by Xiaotangshan."

While the husband and wife were eating, Shu Shu mentioned the affairs in the mansion.

"Huh? Coal..."

Brother Jiu heard this, but he regained his spirits: "Outside the city wall, the pile of cinders has gone to sea!"

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said, "My lord is going to use cinders to try to make fake stones?"

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Coal itself is coal, so it should not be bad to use coal to grind stones or make bricks. The key is that the material is also cheap, so I don't want to try it."

Shu Shu thought of the cinder road construction in later generations.

That is also a way to use it.

The inner city is not bad, the drainage is not bad, but the south city is a depression, the ground is very poor.

Shu Shu recalled the piece of land bought by elder brother Jiu, and said, "Master, apart from building a house in the Nancheng house, should the surrounding roads also be repaired to avoid muddy roads?"

Brother Jiu has been to Nancheng, and has seen the situation of muddy feet on the ground, he said with lingering fear: "It needs to be repaired, or the house will not be rented at a high price, and I plan to rent it to the six officials and Hanlin..."

Shu Shu said: "Isn't the cinder just right for road construction?"

Brother Nine heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, this is picked up for nothing, it is more cost-effective than buying stones."

Officials and civilians in the capital use coal in winter.

The palace is no exception.

The cinders in the palace were piled up inside the three palace walls, east, west, north, which should be half the height of the city wall.

If it goes on for a long time, it may not be able to be even with the city wall.

Brother Jiu is thinking about the cinders in the palace.

After entering Xihua Gate, he didn't go directly to the House of Internal Affairs, but brought He Yuzhu and Sun Jin to Ximeidui.

Although it is quiet here and there are no palaces, but this dark cinder hill is not pretty to look at.

It is also easy to become a hidden danger.

The walls of the Forbidden City are three feet high, and this cinder mountain is ten feet five.

This is not accumulated in three or five years. Coal has been used in the palace since the previous dynasty.

After hundreds of years, the cinders have been piled up.

Brother Jiu climbed up directly and looked up twice.

There is still a distance of one and a half zhang, if there is a rope in hand, it is not impossible to enter and leave the palace.

Seeing that Brother Jiu was interested in this place, He Yuzhu said: "There is a moat outside, it should not work normally, and it should be able to climb over the wall when it is frozen."

Sun Jin said: "Even if you don't leave, it's more convenient to deliver things than other places."

This refers to palace people and eunuchs stealing things from the palace.

Brother Jiu thought of Nanny Liu.

Grandma Liu evacuated the second office back then, and some fine things can be said to be rewarded by herself, but a few boxes of things, even if they are moved out separately, are still conspicuous enough.

Cats have cat ways, mice have rat ways.

This cinder pile is really careless.

After thinking about it, this place is like a thief.

Brother Jiu knew it well, and took He Yuzhu and Sun Jin to the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs.

Elder Brother Twelve is already here, busy processing official documents.

Hearing the movement, seeing the ninth elder brother coming, the twelfth elder brother got up.

Brother Nine asked He Yuzhu to pass the food box to him, and said: "Mending meatloaf, it's rare to make it once, and I brought you a plate, just eat with tea..."

Brother Twelve said, "Thank you Brother Nine..."

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about heretics? Jiangning's weaving and dyeing master is coming soon. Later, you take someone to Tongzhou to see how the woolen field is getting ready. Do you have anything to add?"

The weather in Beijing is cold, and it will start to freeze in early October, and all kinds of projects will be stopped.

We have to wait until the middle and late February of next year to continue.

Brother Jiu said: "When the population arrives in the capital, they will be resettled in the woolen field, which is the Huangzhuang near the Tongzhou Wharf. You have to think about how to resettle them, and how to arrange errands during the winter months. The salary is based on Those with a monthly support cannot support idlers."

Elder Brother Twelve listened carefully. It was the first time he took over the personnel affairs, and he really didn't know what to do.

Nine Elder Brothers had already sat behind the book table, and then took the booklet, wrote about the hidden dangers of the cinder mountain, and asked for an order to clear the cinder mountain in the palace.

As for where to go, Brother Jiu pondered for a while, a small part is in Nancheng, and most of them can directly pave the way in the imperial city.

The Haidian Zhuangzi that the prince paid before is between Changchun Garden and Baiwang Mountain. It was not sure of its use before. In the future, it can specialize in the study of cinders to make fake stones. The cinders can be pulled over there.

It is more convenient to build a craftsman workshop there, where there is water.

After writing the booklet, Brother Nine was curious about Longkodo, and ordered He Yuzhu: "Go to the clan mansion to see your tenth master, and ask how you eat at noon..."

He Yuzhu went in response.

Brother Nine took the time, and at the beginning of noon, he came to Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Kangxi had already listened to the politics and met the officials, most of whom were critiquing papers.

Let the eunuch at the gate pass the message, standing at the gate of Qianqing Palace, remembering what happened yesterday, Brother Jiu was a little distracted.

I can't be too calm at this time, I should "add insult to injury" or add insult to injury, at least let Khan Ama know that he doesn't like Longkodo.

Otherwise, what if Khan Ama is magnanimous and allows Longkodo to continue to be a guard?

In that case, he is closer to Yuqian than their sons, so it's hard to keep his mouth crooked and talk small things.

When this possibility is cut off.

Brother Jiu was distracted when Liang Jiugong came out and said, "Master Jiu, the emperor is uploading..."

Brother Nine whispered: "Ada, how is Khan Ama feeling..."

Liang Jiugong didn't respond, but the corners of his mouth drooped.

Brother Jiu understands, this is not a good idea.

Are you too eager to come in a hurry?

In the Xinuang Pavilion, Kangxi put down his pen and felt that Brother Jiu was a little anxious to sue.

The clan's mansion has not finished discussing the crime, so they come here in such a hurry, does this mean that they don't trust him, Khan Ama?

He was a little complicated.

Brother Nine came in, greeted Ann, handed out his booklet, and said, "Ama Khan, my son is here for the matter of Cinder Mountain..."

Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, he was a little surprised, and said, "What's wrong with Cinder Mountain?"

There is one to the west of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and he took Cao Yin to climb it when he was young.

Brother Jiu took a bit of seriousness, and said: "Ever since Madam Liu stole the second house the year before last, my son has been thinking about how to get the things out of the palace, and it's impossible to walk through the palace gate in a dignified manner. I can carry one or two with me, but how did those large vases and containers get out? Just a while ago, my son saw the cinder mountain when he went to build it. It is a foot high, halfway through the city wall, although there is a moat outside, but in the twelfth lunar month, when the moat freezes, it is not impossible to pass things through the cinder hill.”

Kangxi listened and became vigilant.

He still remembers that the warehouse of Yuqing Palace has become a rat's den, and there are no good things.

There are thieves in this palace.

This cinder hill is indeed suspect.

However, there are three cinder hills in the palace, which have been accumulated over a hundred years and have become small hills. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to transport them out.

"This needs to be cleaned up, where can I pull it?"

Kangxi looked at the excerpt and felt that Brother Jiu's precautions were not unreasonable.

Cleaning this up before the freeze will make the palace more stable.

Brother Jiu said: "Most of them pave the road directly in the imperial city, along a few trading streets, so as to avoid the dust in the spring and autumn, and in the summer, they still have a foot of mud. A small number of sons go directly to the south city, where they bought eight Ten acres of wasteland, with a bubble in the middle, you can repair the ground and build a circle of houses to collect rent..."

He spoke frankly, and Kangxi asked curiously, "Why do you think of building a house again?"

Brother Jiu said: "Houses in the capital are valuable, and they are not easy to buy. I just have land, and I want to build a house directly to save trouble."

Kangxi asked again: "Are these cinders enough to build roads?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "One floor is enough. If it is really not enough, there is also cinders in the imperial city. There are a lot of these things inside and outside the capital."

Kangxi is not the prince of the deep palace, and he has traveled in and out of the capital in micro-services, knowing that the road conditions are not only bad in the imperial city, but also in the inner city and the southern city.

For road construction with cinders, the cost of materials will be saved, leaving only the cost of manual throwing.

Kangxi was very moved, nodded and said: "Then let's fix it, how much cinder and labor are used for a mile, and I will make a record later."

In this way, when the cinder road in the imperial city is repaired, the labor cost can be calculated.

At that time, let's see where to move a sum of money and repair the roads between the inner city and the south city.

Brother Jiu agreed, with a hesitant expression on his face.

When Kangxi saw him, he probably guessed the reason, and waited for Brother Jiu to speak.

Brother Nine took a bit of flattery and said, "Ama Khan, can my son ask you for one thing?"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows.

Is this to intercede for Long Kedo?
No way?
So magnanimous?
Brother Jiu said awkwardly: "Yesterday, you also heard about Tong's house. My son was really shocked. I didn't expect that someone would be eyeing Fengsheng and Niguzhu. My son thought about it and made a request to you." , when Fengsheng grew up, Khan Ama referred to marriage, and he still chose according to his sisters-in-law and his son Fujin, and he was well-bred and well-bred; Niguzhu's side not only looks good, but the parents in this family have cultivated their temper and temper. Check everything carefully, or my son will worry..."

*
Didn't come back, I won't stay up late tonight, the third watch will be around 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone go to bed early.

In the next two or three days, Zhang said that he will be invisible again. You can see it in the background, and it should be released in a few days.
