My father-in-law is Kangxi

Shichahai's courtyard is also priceless right now.

The twelfth elder brother wanted to give the yard to his brother and sister-in-law, but neither the ninth elder brother nor Shu Shu had the temperament of taking advantage.

Naturally, it will not be accepted as it is.

Ninth elder brother is a worry-loving one. When he thinks of Guo Luoluo's family, he is very worried that twelve elder brother's uncle is like Guo Luoluo's family. The prince's petty head will also implicate the reputation of the twelfth elder brother.

He said thoughtfully: "These courtyards are worth a lot of money, and there is no place to buy them. The annual rent of 100 taels can't beat it. So what's the money in the guard camp?"

The twelfth elder brother has an ordinary family, otherwise her biological mother would not have endured for more than 20 years to become a noble person.

For this Tuoheqi, Shu Shu only knew that he was the commander of the infantry, and that there was a banquet case that sparked the death without a whole body. She really didn't know how he made his fortune.

Brother Jiu thought about Tuo Heqi's resume in his heart, but immediately understood, and said, "Okay! Master understands what it means to be loyal and treacherous, and this is a big rat!"

Shu Shu said: "He used to work in the imperial dining room?"

The imperial dining room is involved in various purchasing matters, and many children of relatives have been to the imperial dining room.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "What is the imperial dining room? He has been the treasurer of the Guangshan Treasury for three years!"

Around the 30th year of Kangxi, because some poor people in the Eight Banners could not make ends meet, Kangxi graciously set up "public treasury" and "guangshan treasury" for officials to borrow money for turnover.

The so-called public treasury refers to the withdrawal of money from the user department, with a monthly profit of one point, and it is facing the clan and court officials.

Guangshan Treasury uses the emperor's internal treasury silver, with a monthly profit of [-]%, and it is facing the coated officials.

As soon as Shu Shu heard it, she probably understood the tricks.

You know, many of the banks outside are paying two to three cents a month.

This is also why, there is a strange phenomenon in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. The more high-status people and people who are not short of money, the more they like to borrow official money, and they can borrow as much as they can.

The borrowed money does nothing, but only puts it in the bank to lend out, earning a difference, which is very profitable.

So everyone borrowed and didn't pay back, looking for opportunities to borrow again.

Here in Guangshanku, although the treasurer is only the sixth grade, he is the chief official, so I really dare not think about it.

The silver borrowed from Guangshan Treasury is placed in the bank, and the price difference is even higher.

Shu Shuke still remembered that in the last years of Kangxi, the political situation deteriorated, which was related to the borrowing of the official bank.

The treasury was all borrowed.

In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the relief money is not complete, and corruption from the court to the local area is very chaotic.

The peaceful scene in the middle of Kangxi is gone forever, affecting the people's livelihood.

Right now Brother Nine can't intervene in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he can rectify the Guangshan Treasury.

Shu Shu said: "Master, we must be on guard against bad debts from the Guangshan Treasury, otherwise, no matter how much money I earn to enter the inner treasury, it will not be enough for people to borrow, but it will make them fat!"

Brother Jiu was idle these few days, bored, heard this kindness, and said: "That's the grace of Khan Ama, to give charcoal to the poor officials, not to give those moths more ways to get rich, it's Grandpa. Negligence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs only noticed this three or four years..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and said: "Look, I understand, it's because they made a lot of money in silence, so they don't show off their mountains and show off their water, and act in a low-key manner..."

Shu Shu said: "My lord, be careful to scare the snakes. It's better to check more, and then I'll talk about it."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, Master Ming'er will go to the bank at home first to see how to prevent bad debts, and then find out who has handled the Guangshan Treasury for the past ten years, and wait for Sheng Jia to come back in a few days and let the fourth brother Helping to investigate the industrial changes under the names of these people in the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Household..."

However, the red contract should only be a small part, and the bulk should be transferred and hidden.

It doesn't matter, you can check it slowly.

Shu Shu said: "The main thing is to improve the rules and put an end to corruption. As for whether to pursue accountability, let's ask for an order! There is also Uncle Twelve Brothers here. If there are too many involved, then ask Twelve Brothers too." It means that the current law pays attention to concealment between relatives."

Ninth elder brother nodded and said: "Master, remember, we can't help us once by twelve elder brother, we have to get rid of his uncle..."

The next day, Brother Nine got busy, first went to his own bank, and then to the House of Internal Affairs.

Shu Shu looked at the booklet in the outer warehouse and was preparing the gift list.

Guizhen Gege and Gu Shi, who are assigned to the hospital in the back, are both pregnant and have to prepare gifts.

Guizhen had been married for three years, and there was some news. Although it was three months, she still stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on raising her baby.

It's not easy for Gu's here.

The two step-children left by the former spouse have already grown up and married wives. They are studying in their hometown, and they will go to Beijing to prepare for the exam in two years.

She has no support for her stepson. This old couple and young wife, if they don't have their own flesh and blood, they don't have to worry about taking care of them. There is filial piety, but the evening scene is also lonely.

There is no precedent for Shu Shu to prepare two gifts.

Shu Shu asked someone to prepare bird's nest, sea cucumber, snow clam, and donkey-hide gelatin for the two pregnant women.

Guizhen Gege here, there are more cousins, and the gifts are thicker than Gu's. The bird's nest is half a catty more, and the sea cucumber is two boxes, and everything else is the same.

There is also Cao Shun's new wedding, which has precedent.

When Gao Bin got married a few years ago, apart from Brother Nine's private gift to Gao Bin's Xiao Zhuangzi, there was also a congratulatory gift in the name of the Prince's Mansion.

Cao Shun was old and still an official, so he added [-]% to Gao Bin's etiquette.

That's all for Cao Shun, Shu Shu asked someone to tidy it up, and brought Brother Jiu over when he was drinking.

Guizhen Gege and Gu's here are different from ordinary female family members, so it's not easy to send them over.

The front is the cousin, and the back is the in-laws.

Shu Shu simply tidied up, and went to the back of the hospital in person.

Gui Zhen is quick-tempered and has the shadows of her early years. For this child, she is very concerned about gains and losses.

She used to have a plump body, but now she is a little slimmer, and her complexion is a little bad.

People can't stand it if it goes on like this.

Shu Shu pointed to the Prince's Mansion ahead and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Jiang has been on duty for the past six months and lives in Xikuayuan. If my sister feels uncomfortable, she can send someone there at any time."

Gui Zhenge held Shu Shu's hand and said, "I'm just scared, I can't sleep well at night."

I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still.

It's been two years since the incident, but the helplessness in the confinement at that time seemed like yesterday.

Her biological mother died young, and her biological father is still alive. She has younger brothers, who are also half-brothers, and have no contact with each other.

Like a lonely ghost, longing to have his own flesh and blood.

The more cherished, the more worried.

Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's been three months, so don't worry, you can't sleep well, the baby will grow up in the stomach, and it will not be as strong as other children when it is born, sister, don't be too idle , always thinking about this kind of spirit is bad, it’s really boring to read the storybook, it’s better than just staying there, or prepare clothes for the little nephew. , and the thick and thin ones are all ready, don't delay..."

Seeing Shu Shu's daily life, Gui Zhengege also believed in her, as if she had more backbone, had a plan, and felt much more stable.

Coming out from Gege Guizhen, Shu Shu went to Zhang's yard again.

Gu's age is here, he has never given birth, but he has seen his mother-in-law give birth, and his temperament is calm, without obvious anxiety.

Shu Shu didn't talk too much, gave the gift, said a few words about her diet and daily life when she was about to give birth, and then got up and came out.

Zhang's yard is right next to Fusong's yard.

Shu Shu stopped Mrs. Gu who wanted to come out to see her off, and was escorted out by the mother of the Zhang family, just in time to run into Fu Song who was about to go out.

"sister……"

Fu Song came over to greet him.

Shu Shu looked at Fu Song with a smile.

He was wearing a brown Ning silk jacket and a maroon red vest, which made his lips red and his teeth white, and he looked energetic.

Although he has been a little thinner and thinner in the past few months, his body is straight, and his immature face has lost its immaturity, and he has become more calm.

big boy.

Miss Zhang's family also reached Ji this year.

It's just that since Zhang Ying is ill, it's not easy to prepare for her marriage.

The wedding date of the two families has not yet been discussed.

As early as the engagement, it was agreed that Ms. Zhang would stay for two more years.

Most of them will choose a date next year, or the year after.

Shu Shu looked at the young man behind him again, the young man was carrying several packages in his hand.

"Is this going to my husband's house?"

Shu Shu joked.

Fu Song responded generously: "My lord told me to visit him more in my free time, and help him sort out his collection of books, and I will also go to see more."

After hearing this, Shu Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Don't just help organize, see some rare copies that are not out there, and see if you can transcribe them."

That was the Zhang family, a scholarly family, who had cultivated and studied heirlooms since the previous dynasty.

This collection of books is not bad.

Fu Song nodded and said, "I've made a note of it, and I'll pay attention."

Shu Shu looked at Fu Song, and said: "Not only is this rare ancient book precious, but Zhang Xiang's early notes are also precious, but most of them are to be passed down to the family, and you can take as much as you can, not to say that it will not be used by future generations."

The provincial examinations of the Eight Banners imperial examinations are different from the imperial examinations outside, but when it comes to the general examinations, they are taken together.

When it came to the birth of children and grandchildren, Fu Song felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, you think too far..."

Shu Shu said: "Isn't this a rare opportunity? Zhang Xiang's collection of books must be in preparation for returning home. If you don't occupy some at this time, there will be no chance."

The generation of the Zhang family and the generation of the grandson all studied in their hometown, and when they reached a small level of success, they went to Beijing to take the Shuntian Prefecture Examination as a Guozijian student.

In this way, there is a greater chance of being on the list than participating in the local township examination.

Shuntian Mansion has a lot of solutions.

Fu Song said: "My lord has said that I will prepare a part of the book collection as a dowry for Miss Zhang."

Zhang's family background is ordinary, knowing that extravagant marriages are popular in the capital, and Fusong's betrothal gift is also generous, so it is inevitable to talk about it first.

Prepare twenty boxes of books for her daughter, five boxes of which are from the Zhang family's collection, and the other fifteen boxes are books copied by Miss Zhang's brothers and nephews.

After hearing this, Shu Shu said, "Then don't worry about copying the books, you can help Zhang Xiang, and when you pass by Di'anmen, remember to pick up a few bags from the pastry shop."

Fu Song agreed, watched Shu Shu enter the back door of the prince's mansion, and then took the servant on the horse...
