My father-in-law is Kangxi

Seeing that the twelfth elder brother could not say anything, the third elder brother walked away sourly.

After returning to the south study room, he couldn't help complaining to the seventh and eighth elder brothers: "It's not enough to just immerse yourself in work. You have to learn to coax people. Look at how the ninth elder brother coaxed Khan Ama, and the elder brother didn't even scream." I went to pick him up, so I called Brother Jiu."

The seventh elder brother looked at the book in his hand and turned a deaf ear.

What's the point of traveling sixty miles back and forth? It's May now and the sun is shining brightly. I'm afraid the ninth prince himself wouldn't be willing to have this dignity.

The eighth elder brother answered, but he did not follow the third elder brother's words, but said: "Maybe it's because Khan Ama knows that the ninth brother is free there."

If I really want them to pick me up, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish today's errand.

It's just that... the Holy Master will return to Changchun Garden this afternoon, and their rotation in the palace will also come to an end.

Everyone knows that Ninth Prince goes to the imperial court every now and then to pay tribute.

The third elder brother sat there, wondering whether he should follow suit.

But how to learn?

Most of the meal recipes at home were inherited from the palace. As for Dong E's family, most of the recipes were Manchurian recipes that everyone knows.

What about other filial piety?

If he is stingy, he can't get it, and he can't get it if it's valuable.

If the salary is deducted for three consecutive years, there will be several years when the salary is not received.

The third elder brother looked at the book and didn't think it was a good idea to join the Nan Study Room. He said to the eighth elder brother, "It's not quite right to say that those who are able work harder. In this way, those who are unable will enjoy more blessings."

The eighth elder brother smiled and did not answer. He was not happy to let him "enjoy happiness" like the fifth elder brother.

They are only in their twenties, and they don’t want to make achievements. Do they really want to wait for death? That would be too hopeless...

Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The third elder brother just walked on the front foot, and Erhe came on the back foot.

"Master Twelve, Master Ninth ordered my servant to take you to Tongzhou..."

It turned out that Brother Jiu had been out of Beijing for a while, and he realized that going to Tongzhou was not just for pick-up.

If you really wanted to ask him to pick you up, the holy driver would have already arrived in Tongzhou before sending the message.

According to what Khan Amma had done earlier, there were still several days left before leaving Beijing, so he named the person who would pick him up.

Since it might be related to the woolen mill, we should bring the twelfth prince with us.

In the stall over there, except for the weavers, dyers, machinists and other staff who were "seconded" by the ninth elder brother in a letter to Cao Yin, the rest were watched by the twelfth elder brother and Gao Yanzhong.

Gao Yanzhong didn't need to call him, he was in the hands of the supporting staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The twelfth elder brother can show his face in front of the emperor.

Now that we are getting married, we can't always hide behind.

Therefore, the ninth elder brother ordered Erhe to turn back and come to pick up the twelfth elder brother.

The twelfth elder brother didn't ask any other questions. He put down the official documents in his hand and followed Erhe out.

Erhe had already reported to the guard office, and another guard came out from the guard office, and the twelfth prince left the capital.

The twelfth elder brother was worried that the ninth elder brother was in an emergency, so he took the people away quickly.

The ninth prince asked the driver to slow down and wait for the twelfth prince and the others.

Therefore, he was caught up five or six miles away from Tongzhou Pier.

Arriving at the Canal Palace, Brother Jiu got off the carriage.

The twelfth prince also got off his horse.

Brother Jiu then told him, "If Khan Amma asks about the woolen weaving factory, just answer a few more questions."

The twelfth elder brother looked at him and said a little confused: "Why?"

Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's just how many pieces of wool are produced every day, how many kilograms of wool materials are consumed, and so on."

The twelfth elder brother said: "That was all calculated by Ninth Brother. You can answer it yourself."

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "Then let's talk about how to choose the site. Use the geometry of the official land under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how many miles away from the canal and so on."

The twelfth elder brother said: "Don't we all rely on Gao Langzhong for the early preparations?"

Brother Ninth glanced sideways and snorted coldly: "Then you haven't put in the hard work? Aren't you the one to follow when selecting people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and deploying them in various ways?"

The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes and said honestly: "I'm just following the instructions of the ninth elder brother. It's nothing inappropriate."

Brother Ninth has a headache.

This younger brother doesn't know how to take credit, and he doesn't know how to show off his own achievements. He's a big fool.

It seems that I have to learn a lesson. I can't ask the old lady to take care of the children. She is too temperamental and has no ambition and courage.

While they were talking, the two of them entered the palace gate and called for someone to pass the news.

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother came out and said: "Ninth brother, twelfth brother, Khan Ama's biography is here."

Brother Jiu whispered: "Did you go to the wool factory?"

Brother Thirteen nodded and praised: "I went there. I went there yesterday afternoon. It looks more impressive than the cashmere woolen shop in Jiangning."

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "The style doesn't work, the quality over there is better."

In the room, Kangxi, the prince and the fourth elder brother were all there.

The father and son were sitting, and there were two people standing next to them. One was Gao Yanzhong, and the other was Jin Yiyao, the treasury official of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau who had been suspended from office.The ninth elder brother brought the twelfth elder brother in, and they first paid their respects.

Kangxi was sitting behind the big case, with several things placed on the case.

He called Brother Jiu to come forward and said, "Look at these..."

Brother Jiu stepped forward and took a look. He saw a pair of fine woolen socks, a woolen melon cap, and a pair of woolen-faced white-soled official boots.

He read it again, looked at Kangxi, and said, "Khan Ama, is there anything wrong with these things?"

This is what he ordered the people here to try before.

Kangxi said: "Why do you want to ask people to do this?"

According to the plan that Brother Jiu handed over before, the main purpose here is to produce materials, not such fine pieces.

After hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "It is true that the process of cleaning wool from oil is too expensive, and the wool material produced is not as good as cashmere. It cannot be sold at a high price, and the profit in the process is not very high. The son was thinking about what else he could do besides making clothing materials, and he just thought about these small items. In addition to these small items, there were also carpets and kang rugs. In this way, even if the clothing materials could not be promoted in three to five years, there would be no Relationship, we will mainly deal in these items first, so this weaving factory will not need to provide money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will be self-sufficient earlier."

Woolen clothes are not as warm as fur clothes, so they can only be worn in spring and autumn in the north.

But in the spring and autumn, ordinary cotton-padded clothes will suffice.

Someone who specializes in wearing this kind of material needs to be someone with money.

But in the eyes of wealthy people, this wool, which feels slightly rough and hard, has no obvious advantages and is inferior to cashmere and Western materials.

After hearing this, Kangxi said to the prince: "Everyone outside said that Brother Jiu was lazy and had many doubts. I did not urge him to be diligent, but only valued his economic talent. He took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, and the internal treasury increased. We paid more than 100 million taels of silver."

The prince was surprised when he heard this. He had seen the wool factory with the Holy Driver in the morning, and he had never felt so deeply.

When I heard the amount of money, I could only admire it.

Earlier, I looked at Brother Jiu as if he was joking, moving a pole in the east and a hammer in the west. I didn't expect that the sand would accumulate into hills and open source so much.

The prince said sincerely: "Brother Ninth has partial talents. Khan Ama knows people well and is responsible for their duties. Many of his sons and ministers have shortcomings."

Kangxi was in a good mood and said: "Others raise their children hoping to be stupid, but I raise my sons only to become talented."

Excellent achievements are expected and reasonable, and there is nothing to be happy about; someone like Jiu Age, who is worse than his brothers, has also become talented, and he is very pleased.

The prince followed and smiled.

He knew what the imperial father meant. A single tree cannot form a forest.

The princes have all become talented, and he will not be short of manpower at his disposal in the future.

But after becoming a talented prince, is your elder brother still willing to help?

They are all the sons of the imperial father, and they are the ones closest to the throne.

As long as they have some faults and lose their reserve position, they will all have a chance to win the big treasure.

Brother Jiu was listening, and when he saw that Kangxi didn't say anything else, he was a little anxious and said: "Khan Ama, in fact, my son is just guessing, and then moving his mouth, the weaving factory was created from scratch, and it took him only three years to make twelve My elder brother and Gao Yanzhong kept an eye on the construction and use, and made seven or eight trips to and from Tongzhou, not ten times. In the months after the official start of construction after the new year, Jin Yiyao, an expert, was keeping an eye on it. I heard that food and accommodation were all here, and he was very attentive as a errand. .”

Kangxi listened and looked at his twelfth elder brother.

The twelfth elder brother stood with his eyebrows down, very quiet.

Kangxi asked his twelfth elder brother: "According to your ninth brother's opinion, this weaving factory has been successfully established, and your hard work is also involved?"

The twelfth elder brother replied truthfully: "It's just running errands. Most of the general affairs are watched by Gao Langzhong."

Kangxi looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "You mentioned before that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a minister in charge of the courtyard. So what did you ask the twelfth elder brother to do? How did you do the job?"

Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "The Construction Department, Qingfeng Department and the yamen of this hall are all under the control of the twelfth brother. Khan Ama, you also know that your son is lazy and impatient. The daily general affairs of our yamen have been started since last year." , it’s mostly Brother Twelve who is watching.”

The ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother were still standing and talking, but the thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but return to his seat and stood beside him.

He did not leave to study last year, but always went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have a meal, so he knew about this.

The prince and fourth elder brother heard the news for the first time.

Both of them looked at the twelfth prince.

The ninth elder brother was able to trust the twelfth elder brother to take care of the general affairs, and he also took care of it for more than a year without any mistakes, which was very rare.

This usually quiet little brother is more capable than expected.

The twelfth elder brother was watched by several people, and his whole body became tense.

He looked down at the ground, wishing he could open a hole in the ground and crawl in to hide.

The prince and fourth elder brother looked at ninth elder brother again.

The prince thought that it was indeed the style of a wealthy and idle person, not a lover of power, so that was fine, even if it looked annoying, there was no need to be too defensive.

The fourth elder brother frowned.

"Minister in charge of the hospital"?
Brother Twelve is not the only one who can think of this.

There are dozens of yamen, large and small, under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The twelfth elder brother is in charge of three bureaus. If the other ministers are also arranged to manage the yamen, ten or eight will not be able to control them.

These errands have been assigned, so what does Brother Ninth do?
He is quite used to being lazy.

The fourth elder brother was dissatisfied with the ninth elder brother's lack of progress, but he also felt that this step was the right one.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is no longer the former Ministry of Internal Affairs.

One after another, relatives and wealthy families were exterminated, and the emperor's father became wary of the inner three banners.

Brother Ninth's division of power at this time can be regarded as a mistake...

I burst into tears. Seeing that I was about to fall out of the top fifteen, I knelt down and asked for a guaranteed monthly ticket.
