My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1198
Brother Jiu has a better impression of Cao Yin.

Even if he promised to give double salaries to technicians who came to Beijing, he was not willing to support idlers, so this connection was just right.

As for the Jin family or the Guo Luoluo family's concubine, let him go.

That's something the royal father should worry about.

He motioned for Cao Shun to sit down, and when he was in the mood to gossip, he said, "Didn't you go pick up your daughter? Did you pick it up?"

Cao Shun nodded and said, "I have already asked someone to take it home."

Brother Jiu said: "Then your marriage is also booked?"

It's okay to be alone, and it's nothing if you don't have a female family member; but if you have a child, someone will always take care of the housework.

She was the eldest daughter of the original spouse, and there was no reason for the concubine to be brought up by the concubine.

Cao Shun nodded, and said: "Grandmother is in charge, I told you about Sun's cousin."

Brother Jiu has been to Jiangning weaving, and knows Mrs. Sun's wife from Cao's family.

He frowned slightly, feeling that his status was a little low.

Sun's natal family is also in the Baoyi Han army, and the current head of the family is working as a supervisor at the Guangzhou tax customs, and is a regular sixth-rank official.

This year, I also sent a birthday gift to the prince's mansion, which was nothing special.

It's just that Cao Shun is a widower, and the one who married is his step-wife, so that's all.

Brother Jiu thought about going out, and said: "God will take Fujin to Rehe the day after tomorrow. There is a lack of someone who will coordinate the trip. You can see if you want to take a rest for a while, or set off together later..."

As he spoke, he felt a little unkind.

Since Cao Shun came to his family last year, he has not been idle, first from Jiangning to the capital, then from the capital to Yunnan, and then from the capital to Jiangning.

There are not a few days in total in the capital.

Either on the road or on the road.

Cao Shun immediately said: "This time, I will take the boat all the way. I won't be tired. I will be able to work tomorrow."

This afternoon, he took his daughter to the old house to greet his parents, and he had nothing else to do.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good. This trip is also for everyone to relax. You don't have to go too fast. You don't have to work hard. Then you can shoot and hunt on the way. After arriving in Rehe, I guess you will stay for ten minutes. It's half a month, how about a pastime, you discuss it with Erhe and Fuqing to see if you have any good ideas, there is also Fujin's birthday in the middle, and when it's the right day, prepare to have a feast."

Cao Shun got up and remembered it, and bowed in response.

Brother Jiu thought of Gao Yanzhong and said, "Lao Gao went to the palace?"

Cao Shun nodded and said, "Well, I'll see you after handing over the sign."

It's a pity that brother Jiu gave birth.

It is easier for Gao Yanzhong to use it, but it is a waste to stay in the prince's mansion. He will be promoted if he is promoted, and he will not go anywhere else. The doctor of this department, let him help...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Gao Yanzhong stood bowed, looking at the floor tiles.

The Qianqing Palace is paved with gold bricks, not bricks made of real gold, but a kind of burning brick process with golden threads.

He thought of the extravagance of the weaving yamen in Hangzhou, most of them were foreign artifacts, and ordinary people couldn't get one of them, so the weaving yamen was just ordinary.

It's not resplendent, but it's better than the splendor of the golden wall.

Although it is more convenient to guard the Hangzhou Customs, it would be nonsense to say that the Jin family has nothing to do with it.

It's hard to say whether Jin Yiren's Hangzhou weaving has a lot of money or not, after all, the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Households every year is considerable; but the Hangzhou tax supervision is also a big deal.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

The emperor doesn't care about whether Jin Yiren has been exposed to the customs, but he has a relationship with the capital and has private contacts with other people, this emperor will not tolerate it.

Kangxi looked at Gao Yanzhong's and Cao Yin's joint investigation papers, and was speechless for a while.

Like the Dong family, the Jin family is also under the name of the Empress Dowager.

But the Hangzhou weaving of the Jin family was not arranged by the Empress Dowager, but the candidate chosen by him after taking office, that is, Jin Yiren's Amajin Yuzhi.

Jin Yuzhi was gone, his father died and his son replaced him, and the eldest son Jin Yiren succeeded him.

So trust and Hong En, in exchange for what?
It is the old friendship between the Jin family and the Guo Luoluo family, and the collusion between the two families for at least 20 years!
Kangxi put down the booklet, looked at Gao Yanzhong and said, "How about the account book?"

Gao Yan went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the ostensible task was to check the account books of Sanzhi.

Gao Yanzhong knew that he was asking about the account of the Hangzhou Weaving Yamen, and said: "There are three out-of-the-box money errors, and the loss of new silk technicians, which is a bit inflated. It is written that it is because of the dye? It is because of the increase in the price of the weavers." , about 31% higher than it was [-] years ago..."

In the 31st year of Kangxi, it was a boundary of Hangzhou Weaving Yamen.

Before that, it was Jin Yuzhi who was in charge of weaving in Hangzhou; after that, it was Jin Yiren who was in charge of weaving in Hangzhou.

Kangxi said: "How about that Li Xiaocheng?"

This is Sanguanbao's concubine, pretending to be the household registration of Liaodong people.

It's not quite right to say that it's a risk, because his biological mother's surname is indeed Li, and she is a branch of the Li family in the Han army.

It's just that maybe for Li Xiaocheng to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, or for other reasons, he didn't join the banner.

Gao Yanzhong bowed and said: "In the early years, I went to sell silk outside the customs every year. Shengjing rented the shop. This year, it has not been moved. Except for the silk shop and foreign goods shop on the bright side, there is also silver to buy shares in the spice ships of the sea merchants. The property under the name is better than the government. The number of red deeds found is several times higher."

If the Sanguanbao is still there, Kangxi will order someone to torture him.

A slave, what is this for?
Even if I manage Jiangnan carefully, they have such a layout.

In the long run, how much money will it cost?
Did all the money go to Yuqing Palace?
Kangxi glanced in the direction of Yuqing Palace, but couldn't tell what it was like.

"Can you find out the relationship between the Jin family and the capital?"

Kangxi said.

Gao Yanzhong bowed his head and said: "Jin Yiren has a younger sister Xu Baoyi from the Tang family, and the eldest niece Tang entered Yuqing Palace in 34 years as Gege."

Tang Gege of Yuqing Palace...

Kangxi heard that Ersheng was born, it should be because of no childbirth, and this person has not reported to the imperial court.

But the princesses in Yuqing Palace are all ordered by him!

Why didn't he pay attention to the relationship?

It's not uncommon to think about it, this brand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will record the three generations of father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and will also remember the surname of the birth mother, but it will not remember the family of the natal family.

The surname of the Jin family is not rare in the pack, and several people under the leadership of Gao Lizuo all have the surname Jin.

Kangxi thought of Suo'etu, and his eyes became more gloomy.

Suo'etu was originally in charge of the internal management department and was in charge of the small election of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It would be strange if this candidate didn't have Suo'etu's handwriting.

Under his nose, such a trick, but he was really fooled.

Kangxi's face was tense, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He was so lucky that Suo'etu was dealt with early, otherwise, would the Forbidden City still be his Forbidden City in the long run?
Gao Yanzhong lowered his head even more.

Kangxi murmured, and said: "The ninth elder brother started to go out of Beijing on the fourth day of the lunar new year, and he is not in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the time being. You can find a name to arrange for the censor to impeach the ninth elder brother..."

Gao Yanzhong was startled, quickly raised his head and looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at him, took a look, and said: "Why, don't you dare? Afraid of offending Brother Nine?"

Gao Yanzhong knelt down with a "plop", and said earnestly: "Master, this slave really does not dare to do such a rebellious thing. If there is something wrong with Master Jiu, the emperor and master will teach him, so why should I wait for a slave to question him?"

Kangxi calmed down a bit, and said: "I will transfer Jin Yiren to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Gao Yanzhong immediately understood that this was to let him "throw bricks to attract jade".

It's not for the real impeachment of Brother Nine, but for the purpose of transferring the Jin family back to Beijing and finding a legitimate reason.

The Gao Yan Center breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Jiu Ye is in charge of internal affairs, but he is tired of his errands, arriving late and leaving early, and letting him handle errands in all departments, not arranging people to supervise and inspect. Follow you."

Kangxi snorted softly, quite satisfied with Gao Yanzhong's flexibility.

Just remember who is the real master.

Jin Yiren, the commissioned head of the House of Internal Affairs, is false, but Gao Yanzhong, here, is the future head of the House of Internal Affairs that Kangxi had in mind...

Ningshou Palace, the main hall.

The Empress Dowager was promoted to the palace because the imperial birthday ceremony had arrived.

This year, it was the fourth prince who came to present the birthday gift, followed by officials from the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch who carried the birthday gift.

There is also this one every year, but it is not so grand.

This year is the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, so it's different.

Following the chorus of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, birthday gifts were carried past the Empress Dowager's eyes.

There are Buddha statues, imperial screens, imperial ruyis, imperial tortoises and cranes, as well as tributes such as corals, chiming clocks, dioramas, etc., all in pairs or single items, and the rest are court beads, materials, spices, and antiques. , Calligraphy and painting, etc., are all based on nine, or one nine, or ninety-nine.

Then there is the large handkerchief Jiujiu, the small handkerchief Jiujiu, the gold Jiujiu, the silver Jiujiu, and six pommel horses.

There are also [-] grains of rice in the imperial dining room, which is used to make rice with jade grains from all countries, as well as nine dishes and nine plates of fruits.

The Queen Mother listened with a smile, bowed her body and nodded at Qianqing Palace, which was considered to have accepted the emperor's favor.

After all the things were lifted, the queen mother asked the fourth elder brother to sit in front of her, looked at him and said, "Why did you take on this job? Didn't the third elder brother come over in previous years?"

The fourth elder brother got up and replied: "The third brother is not walking in the Ministry of Rites, but went to Taichang Temple. Right now, the Ministry of Rites is not supervised by a prince, so Ama Khan ordered his grandson to come over and offer birthday gifts."

The Empress Dowager thought of Sifu Jin, who was also sensible and caring. He was raised in the palace in his teens and had a decent appearance. It was not easy without Ama and no siblings, so she ordered Mother Bai to say: "Take care of me yesterday." Take out the longevity lock and the tortoiseshell bracelet that my son dug out, they are for Si Fujin and the little elder brother."

Bai Momo went down in response, and then came over with two brocade boxes.

The queen mother said to the fourth elder brother: "Yesterday I asked someone to look through things, and I remembered the little elder brother of your family and the old five's family. The bracelet is for Si Fujin. She is a good one. You can't do it because your father-in-law is gone. Just wait for her."

The old lady spoke straight, but with good intentions.

Fourth elder brother hurriedly said: "Grandson doesn't dare, Fujin is the grandson's original wife. It's a lot of hard work for the grandson to reproduce the offspring and take care of the inner courtyard. It's too late for the grandson to be grateful, and he won't wait."

The Empress Dowager's expression softened slightly, and said: "That's good, but you are not allowed to follow the example of those bastards outside who favor concubines and destroy wives. If your character is bad, you will end up bad..."
