My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1357 This Is The Big Generation

Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The ninth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and Jin Yiren picked him up and drove back.

Jin Yiren glanced at Brother Jiu, seeing that he didn't intend to give orders, he took the initiative to say: "Jiu Ye, tomorrow the holy driver will send the Empress Dowager to Changchun Garden..."

Brother Jiu is also thinking about this.

It was too hasty.

It's not a time of year or festival, and it's not the time to escape the summer heat, so he doesn't plan to move.

It happened that Sanfujin was pregnant, so she probably wouldn't move, and if the brothers and sisters-in-law followed the rules, they probably wouldn't live with her.

Hearing Jin Yiren's words, Brother Nine said: "The head of the House of Internal Affairs is going to arrange for night guards in the palace to take turns, and Changchun Garden also has guards. Tomorrow, I will work hard for Master Jin. Let's follow Shengjia!"

Jin Yiren hurriedly said: "It's not hard work, it's a slave's job."

He has already figured it out, don't worry about the life in Hangzhou, let's just look at the present.

Cao Yin only thought that by recommending him, he would have the right to speak in Jiangnan, but he forgot that Yuqian is Yuqian.

Jin Yiren was a little excited, not to mention seeing him every day, but showing his face twice a month in front of the imperial court was different from being far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

After a year and a half, I got acquainted with the imperial court, and I have a lot to do.

He had just left and went to his own room next to him when he heard movement outside.

He paused in his footsteps, and when he looked back, he saw the young eunuch walking hurriedly.

Jin Yiren straightened his body. Is this a summon from the emperor, or a summon from the crown prince?
But that person went directly to Brother Jiu's room next door, did not enter the house, and said: "Master Jiu, the emperor has summoned..."

Ninth elder brother was about to talk to twelve elder brothers about the show girl's entry into the palace, but was interrupted.

It's Wei Zhu.

Brother Jiu didn't dare to delay, so he came out.

Seeing Wei Zhu's calm demeanor and nothing unusual, Brother Nine raised his eyebrows and stopped asking.

It shouldn't be impeachment or something.

He rested for a few days when Sheng Jia first came out of Beijing, but after that he became more honest.

Then I went through the selection of officials in each yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past ten years, and made a form.

On the form is the errand status of the children of the doctors in each yamen.

All the yamen have encircled their territory.

Others don't know what the purpose of Brother Jiu is. In fact, he mainly looks at the treasurer, deputy treasurer, and treasury envoy of Guangshan Treasury for the past ten years.

Then pick out those who have been in office for three years, and record them all, in order to go back and check the properties under the names of these people in the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Households.

Earlier, he arranged for Gao Yanzhong to inquire about the news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But Guangshanku involved a lot of money, so Brother Jiu didn't ask Gao Yanzhong to inquire.

Everyone knew that Gao Yanzhong was promoted by him, and Gao Yanzhong made people look sideways when he moved.

He waited for Cao Shun to finish his ten-day marriage leave, and arranged for Cao Shun to inquire about the relatives of these families in private, whether there were any old relatives who were in charge of the bank.

This silver is "borrowed" from Guangshan Treasury, and money can be used to make money.

At this time, the ones who sealed the money register were all pawns, and those above were sure to earn the money themselves.

Even if the emperor doesn't summon him, Brother Nine still intends to invite him as soon as possible.

To investigate the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Households, you have to speak before the emperor, otherwise it would not be good to go over and directly involve the fourth brother.

Wei Zhu looked at Brother Nine's reaction with a warm expression.

Brother Jiu is really calm, and he didn't stare at the imperial court any more.

After a while, the two arrived outside Qianqing Palace.

Wei Zhu went in to report first, and then brought Brother Jiu in.

Brother Jiu went in and saw that there were actually two people with seats beside him.

One is Ma Qi, the teacher is looking decent now, this is no surprise; the other sitting under Ma Qi's head is a face, looking much younger than Ma Qi, in his thirties.

At this age, who can get a seat in the Imperial Palace? Who is this?
Seeing Brother Jiu come in, both of them got up.

"Son pays homage to Khan Ama..."

Brother Nine gave a thousand salutes.

Sheng Jia left the palace on the first day of February, and the father and son did not see each other for more than half a month.

As for the greeting at the gate of the palace in the morning, that was just following the crowd and didn't say anything.

Kangxi waved his hands and shouted, and said to the middle-aged official: "This is my ninth elder brother..."

Then he said to Brother Jiu: "This is the new Yunnan chief envoy Tong Guoyi..."

The official said respectfully: "Slave Tong Guoyou has seen Lord Jiu, please be safe..."

Hearing the name, Brother Nine, who was in the same rank as Tong Guowei, knew that this person was of a high seniority, he was the emperor's uncle or something, so he immediately avoided half a step, only received half a courtesy, and said politely: "Master Tong also install."

Kangxi said to Brother Jiu: "Don't you have a tea garden in Yunnan? You can entrust Tong Guoyi to take care of it."

Cao Shun took a trip to Yunnan, and Brother Jiu also inquired carefully, knowing that Jingdong Mansion is [-] miles away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province.

Eight hundred miles, how to take care of it?

Besides, there are only two tea mountains, and Nian Xiyao can't take care of them with a magistrate?

Brother Jiu slandered in his heart, and he still followed Kangxi's words: "Master Tong is going to Yunnan, so I can rest assured. I heard that there are many natives there and they are disobedient. It is quite worrying."

Tong Guoyou didn't know how to respond.

He is the chief envoy, not in the land.

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Dian tea has been selling well in the capital in the past few years, and some tea in the palace has begun to be replaced by Dian tea. Since there is surplus money in the internal treasury, it happens to be able to buy some tea in Jingdong."

Brother Jiu felt strange. He only received a letter from Yunnan last month, saying that the quantity of spring tea and autumn tea came out last year, and a total of [-] catties of tea were produced.

At present, tea trees are not yet in the peak production period, and the yield per mu is only about four catties; in three to five years, when the peak production period is reached, the yield per mu will reach 20 to [-] catties of tea. There are more than [-] catties of tea.

Last year, a tea merchant came to ask for a price, and the price was [-] Wen per catty.

In this way, if last year's tea is sold, more than 4000 taels of silver can be earned.

In the future, if there is a good harvest, it will be more than 1 taels of silver.

Jingdong Mansion is poor, and the long-term workers only spend [-] yuan a year.

Tea masters are more expensive and cheaper than those in other places.

1000 taels of silver is enough for the entire tea mountain.

In this way, Chashan will be able to pay back its capital in less than ten years.

Brother Jiu understands what Kangxi means, because he knows that Chashan is very profitable.

He said: "The Dingkou of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is breeding, and there are many idle people who can be sent to Yunnan to set up a royal tea factory."

Kangxi said: "Choose the right person to go down, so as not to disturb the place and cause trouble."

Brother Nine said: "Don't worry, Ama Khan, the accounts of my son's purchase of the tea mountain are clear. There are records of how much the tea mountain and the tea workers paid. It will not be too biased by then. My son will write to Nian Xiyao and let him Just keep an eye on it, Jingdong Mansion is [-] miles away from the chief envoy's office, if you encounter something that cannot be resolved, just ask Master Tong to take care of it."

Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu and was very satisfied with his response.

Tong Guoyi stood and listened, wondering.

Nian Xiyao actually had a private relationship with Brother Nine!
Since he was going to Yunnan to take up his post, he naturally wanted to inquire about Yunnan's news, and knew some of the official situation in Yunnan, especially the officials of the Eight Banners, so he probably knew it well.

Nian Xiyao is nothing, but his Ama is Nian Xialing, the governor of Hubei.

I heard that elder brother Jiu has not been ennobled to divide the population, so is it true that the emperor wants to distribute the chieftain of Nian's family to elder brother Jiu?

When Nian Yaling was impeaching Hubei officials last year, he shielded Hubei's chief envoy, and his old illness was not reported. It is not known how the emperor will rule.

Looking at it now, it seems that there is no intention to blame Nian Yaling.

Kangxi knew that Brother Jiu must be confused, so he signaled Ma Qi and Tong Guoyi to retreat, leaving Brother Jiu to talk.

Brother Nine directly asked: "How many acres of tea mountains does Khan Ama plan to buy? The son's 2 acres of land cost less than [-] taels, and the replanting of tea trees cost more than [-] taels. One mu of tea gardens is discounted by [-]." About two silver..."

Kangxi pondered, and said: "The internal treasury happens to have surplus money, and the palace consumes a lot of tea every year, and it has to be rewarded outside, so it will be based on [-] mu."

Brother Nine said: "Ama, when Cao Shun came back last year, he mentioned that Jingdong Mansion is vast and sparsely populated, which is why the land price is cheap, but the number of long-term workers is also limited, so my son's tea garden has not been expanded. With a limit of 2 taels of silver, if the royal tea garden is large in scale and needs many tea growers, it may be necessary to choose another place."

Kangxi said: "The location may not be fixed, but the quality of the tea is better. Let Nian Xiyao find a few more places to look. If there is no suitable tea mountain in Jingdong Prefecture, the surrounding prefectures are also fine."

Brother Nine has memorized everything, and after counting the tea leaves needed in the palace, he always feels that it is too much.

But the tea is a durable Yunnan tea, so it doesn't matter if there are too many.

In the future, the daughter-in-law Fumeng will accompany her to send more tea; or the Mongolian princes will come to court and give more tea, which can be consumed no matter what.

After Kangxi finished talking about the tea leaves, he pointed to the seat, let Brother Jiu sit there, and said, "How is Jin Yiren doing his errands?"

Brother Jiu said: "Diligence, hard work, at the beginning of his tenure, the son explained the repairs of Fulaiju and Xian'an Palace, and the completion was very appropriate. The craftsmen in the inner building were arranged to work in two shifts, and the repairs were completed in seven days; so He is in charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are no omissions."

As for Elder Brother Twelve, he hasn't been idle since he came back from Tongzhou.

The ninth elder brother handed over the bronze seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the twelfth elder brother, and asked the twelfth elder brother to be responsible for affixing or rejecting the official documents approved by Guan Jin Yiren.

After more than half a month, no official document was rejected.

Kangxi sulked.

Obviously a person who can use it, he has also made credit and hard work in Hangzhou weaving these years.

But betraying the Lord is intolerable.

Brother Jiu noticed that he was in a bad mood, but he had to go to the Ministry of Households for the next step regarding Guangshanku.

The father and son are here trying to make more money for the inner treasury, but if the opening of the Guangshan treasury is not blocked, the money that the inner treasury is rich in will become the capital of moths.

He was struggling, let Kangxi see clearly.

Kangxi said: "But the Jin family has other inappropriate things?"

Brother Nine recalled Jin Yiren's visits to Lila's marriage a while ago, and said: "Ama, Jin Yiren and the Cao family are old relatives. After entering Beijing, he ate wine with Cao Yin's younger brother Cao Quan and got married. Gao Yanzhong spoke to me, but the third son of the Gao family told me..."
