My father-in-law is Kangxi

In one winter, the concubines only provided a few kinds of vegetables, spinach, coriander, daikon, water radish, carrot, mustard greens, and cabbage.

The other is pork, mutton, chicken, duck, tofu, and eggs.

Except that the vegetables are different from month to month, the others are year after year, and everyone has enough.

Therefore, the masters in the palace don't like to eat very much, and they eat more pasta.

Kangxi came up with this idea when he thought about the two big greenhouses in Changping, the ninth elder brother.

Counting the empresses and empresses in the palace, there are only ten people, including the queen mother and two concubines, each of them has a catty of Dongzi vegetables per day, which is more than ten catties in a day, and more than 300 catties in a month. come out.

Brother Nine did not respond, but also calculated the amount in his mind, hesitated, and said: "Ama, after entering Ninth, my son will send people to Changping to pick up food every five days, or just pay tribute to Qianqing Palace every time. The dining room is one hundred catties, and Khan Ama will reward it further. It is not easy to follow the example of procurement. The son is the manager, and the private property is mixed with the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is a bad first. If the officer followed suit, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs' procurement would be a mess..."

Short-handed, soft-mouthed.

Kangxi was happy to get the filial piety of his son, but he exploited his son to supplement other concubines.

He frowned and said, "Why are the accounts not clear? Just settle according to the outside market price."

Brother Jiu still insisted on his opinion.

In the early years, when he knew his wife was raising pigs in Baiwang Mountain, Brother Jiu had a similar idea, which was to sell the pigs to the palace.

But he has been advised by his wife, and he has also seen the disadvantages of purchasing in the imperial dining room. There is no clean up and down, so how can he get involved?
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, you should feel sorry for your son. Settle this according to the market price, there is an upper limit and a lower limit. With a son like this, the Imperial Dining Room purchases his son's things, and the designated price will be based on the upper limit. But in that case, This amount of expenditure is inflated, and the people who will follow in the future will use this method to be greedy, and they may even regard the son as the instigator, and the son does not want to bear the injustice..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "My son knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs handles a lot of money here, and some people outside have whispered that my son is greedy. My son dares to say that if my son has touched a little or two of the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will be fined." Tell my son to die! My son is too lazy to argue with those foolish people, but my son is innocent, and I don’t want to let them talk about it as "evidence"..."

Kangxi listened, his face darkened.

Brother Nine can find out that the current atmosphere in the capital is not good, and Kangxi naturally knows it too.

He glared at Brother Jiu, and said: "Unfilial son, you dare to say anything, and you are not afraid of taboos? If you continue to be so careless in the future, I will punish you not to speak for half a year!"

Brother Jiu immediately shut up, very well-behaved.

Kangxi also knew that Brother Nine had a bad reputation, so he didn't force him to "purchase", he just said: "Can you get this out? It's really not possible, just add four hundred catties a month."

Dongzi vegetables are not like radishes and cabbage. You don't have to have a catty of each, but half a catty.

Brother Jiu said: "Don't choose the type, there is a designated [-] jin, and it's about the same if you make up [-] jin. I'll see when the time comes, my son won't force it."

Kangxi nodded and said: "Then let's do it this way, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build a greenhouse in Tangshan next spring, and build it according to twice the area of ​​your other courtyard."

It's enough to take advantage of this advantage for a year, and it can't be taken forever.

Brother Jiu agreed.

After listening to Kangxi's "business", he thought of his own.

He said: "Ama Khan, the 'year respect' prepared by my son has been brought here, and it's outside."

One has two, this is already the third year of "Nian Jing".

Kangxi is used to it, and he has some expectations in his heart. Who doesn't like to receive gifts?

The emperor is no exception.

He didn't pretend to be polite to Brother Jiu, and said: "What is this year? Let someone carry it in..."

Brother Jiu didn't reply in a hurry, but called the little eunuch at the door to send a message.

After a while, He Yuzhu and Sun Jin brought the box in.

Brother Jiu opened it himself and brought out a golden tiger.

The two fists are big and lifelike.

They don't look big, but they are solid, weighing less than thirty catties each.

When the golden tiger was set up, there were three golden leopards, a circle smaller than the golden tiger, and much slender.

"My son read the official document sent back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Khan Ama shot a tiger first and then three leopards on this tour. My son asked someone to prepare this, and spent 1000 taels of gold..." Brother Jiu explained.

You can't just give gold pancakes directly, it's too tacky.

After Jin Ruyi sent it off, I suddenly remembered this.

Kangxi was in a good mood, but when he heard the weight, he was a little worried. He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "I'm glad you have filial piety, but don't try to be brave, don't make a mistake."

Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, Ama Khan, my son is also 'borrowing flowers to present Buddha'. The New Year ceremony under the House of Internal Affairs has arrived. This is an official rule, and my son has to accept it; but I don't feel at ease if I accept it, so I just live it. Hand, honor to Khan Amma, speaking of it, my son is taking advantage of it..."

As he said that, he remembered something, and took out a document from his hidden pocket. It was the one that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needed to add a Minister of Management and a Minister of the Year, and then said: "But maybe the last year is so rich, next year There shouldn’t be so many…”

He presented the document and said: "Before Khan Ama visited the mausoleum, my son mentioned to the teacher about the addition of a minister of the academy. The teacher sent a message to his son, saying that Khan Ama would discuss it later. Marked out the Yamen that lacked manpower."

Kangxi saw it, and he understood why Brother Jiu said that the "Nian Jing" will not be so rich next year.

The yamen of the House of Internal Affairs was divided. From now on, the Langzhong and Yuanwailang who were lower down would be honored by the ministers in charge of the courtyard and the ministers on duty.

If the quota is full, thirteen or four people can be arranged.

Excluding those selected by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are still eight or nine vacancies.

Kangxi put this aside, planning to think about it carefully, and things will be smoother if they are slow.

Brother Jiu thought of the second thing again, took out Ji Hong's gift list from his purse, opened the fold, presented it again, and said, "Khan Ama, look at this again..."

Kangxi picked it up, looking at only a few lines of words, confused, and said: "Is this a new property purchased by your government?"

Have you all gone to Jiangnan?
When did you send people to Jiangnan?

Or write a letter to Cao Yin and ask Cao Yin to help arrange it?

There is a tea garden, an orchard, and a seafood shop. This is exactly what Jiu Age and his wife usually do.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not the son's property, it's the Ji family's gift list. It's different from the annual earth rituals, and my son doesn't dare to accept it, so I'll show you. The Ji family should have sensed that the Jin family is about to collapse, and they are scared." When I arrived, I didn't know what to do, so I drilled here with my son..."

Last year, Ji's family started to be affiliated with the Imperial Merchant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, supplying Taihu stones and Jiangnan flowers and trees.

Therefore, with Brother Nine, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they can be regarded as loose subordinates.

When Kangxi heard this, his face became more cold, and he warned Brother Jiu: "This is a merchant, and he is going around everywhere."

To deal with the Jin family, not many people know about it, but the Ji family noticed it through clues and began to look for a way out.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, that is, the son's heart is right, and he really changed to a greedy one. At this time, he must take advantage of the fire, and the lion opened his mouth. In that case, it is also in line with the wishes of the Ji family, and he is bound by interests. I don't know I felt like I was on a thief ship!"

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "If you don't have the profits from Xiaotangshan, and you don't have a lot of money, then you won't be able to get on Ji's boat?"

Brother Jiu thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "No, my son is the prince elder brother. If the son is rich in his pocket and has capital, and he counts on Ji's family to run errands and do odd jobs, then the son is willing to take care of them; If you don't bother to talk to them, can you still run errands for them for a few taels of money? What's the matter?"

Kangxi was satisfied after hearing this.

This is what the prince elder brother does.

Never lose face of the prince elder brother.

Ji family...

Ji's business is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many children of the Ji family, and they have a good reputation in the local area.

He glanced at the gift list in his hand, then at the majestic golden tiger and golden leopard.

You can't keep taking advantage of your son.

Not to mention anything else, Dongzi vegetables for a winter is not a lot if you count money.

He handed the gift list to Brother Jiu and said, "Since they gave it to you, you can accept it, so as not to make them feel uneasy."

Brother Jiu took the gift list with both hands, and said with a smile: "In the future, Han Ama's Longjing tea will be packaged with the orange son, and there will also be a seafood shop. At that time, let them send dried seafood to the capital on a monthly basis. Forget it, sea cucumbers are sweet in taste and neutral in nature, nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the essence, when Khan Ama stews it every day, there will be good news every month in the palace!"

Kangxi was quite relieved when he heard what was said before, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what was said later, he scolded: "What idle books are you reading?"

Brother Jiu said: "It's not an idle book, it's "Materia Medica". My son thinks that when everyone reads "Materia Medica" and "Great Qing Law", "Da Qing Law" is self-discipline, and "Materia Medica" is healthy, I have read these two books well. , the son is working hard to live a long life."

Kangxi shook his head and said: "It's all absurd, you can't just supplement it with half-knowledge, and you must go through the imperial physician before you eat anything."

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Well, don't worry about Khan Ama, your son is still waiting to be a great-grandfather, watching Khan Ama V live together!"

Kangxi laughed and said: "Fengsheng is not yet one year old, but you think long-term..."

Brother Nine sighed and said, "Time flies so fast. My son, Fujin, is thinking about Fengsheng and the others learning how to speak. The son thinks it's just a blink of an eye. Don't talk about others. The eldest brother's niece is thirteen. Akedun Ten years old, in more than 20 years, when you, Khan Ama, pass your [-]th birthday, you may have your great-great-grandson..."

Kangxi listened to Brother Jiu's words and thought about the future.

It's hard to say about the great-great-grandson of the emperor, but the great-great-grandson must have seen it.

Throughout the ages, there has not been any emperor with five generations living under the same roof.

The fourth generation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived under the same roof, and the fourth generation of Emperor Taizu lived under the same roof.

Kangxi's mood was a little delicate, he was looking forward to that day, but also hoped that that day would come later...

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu still maintained a happy appearance.

You don't have to worry about it at all, and you have a few more properties, which is naturally a good thing.

It's just that when he walked to the corridor, he stopped and looked in the direction of Yikun Palace.

People are greedy.

I don't like Shushu paying attention to others, and Shushu can't tolerate herself pampering Gege.

But this kind of exclusiveness and jealousy can only be revealed between husband and wife.

My mother is a concubine, so she doesn't even have the right to be unhappy, but how can she be so open-minded in her heart.

I can only think about it myself, Brother Jiu sighed in his heart...
