My father-in-law is Kangxi

How many people in the imperial court were trying to figure out the holy will.

It was actually a bit hard to see through.

It could be said that they value the prince. As long as the emperor leaves the capital, he will be ordered to accompany the prince, and the prince has no chance to supervise the country. It could be said that he does not value the prince. This year's winter solstice ceremony will be for the prince to go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven.

You must know that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is one of the most important sacrifices of the year.

When the prince's full set of ceremonial guards were laid out, the princes and ministers accompanying the sacrifice seemed to have seen the young emperor.

The prince looked solemn and solemn.

It was just a sacrifice to heaven. As early as when he was a teenager, he had already offered sacrifices to heaven on behalf of the emperor.

In his opinion, this is nothing?
His eyes swept over the accompanying minister.

Malhan...

Malhan's title of Minister of War has not yet been restored. In handling the affairs of the Ministry of War, he has the status of Minister but does not have the power of Minister.

What does khan ama mean?
The prince glanced at the guards. The children of the Hesheli family were either transferred to outside guards or "promoted".

The prince's mood was also very subtle, and he was also a little excited despite being uneasy.

Royal father, he is old...

Are you afraid of yourself?
You need to be more patient.

Nowadays, the imperial court respects Confucian etiquette. In the eyes of Han officials and scholars all over the world, he, the prince, is orthodox.

Even if the emperor's father had other selfish motives, as long as he could bear his temper, his position would be stable.

With confidence in his heart, the prince also showed his demeanor as a prince to the princes and ministers, and there was nothing wrong with the set of sacrificial rituals.

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Kangxi understood the prince's behavior and murmured: "The prince, the deputy of the country..."

On the day of the winter solstice, it is customary in Beijing to eat dumplings.

The Prince's Mansion is no exception.

The dining room made four kinds of fillings, steamed dumplings with beef and green onions, two kinds of dumplings with pork, sauerkraut and leek and egg, and soup dumplings with minced chicken.

Soup dumplings are prepared for several children.

They had already started eating, so Shu Shu asked the kitchen to prepare some food with less oil and salt for them.

It’s been nine since today.

The nine-nine cold-relieving pictures were also hung up.

In Ning'an Hall, Mrs. Bo was lovingly holding Ni Guzhu's little hand and painted a plum blossom red with red crayon.

After finishing painting, Ni Guzhu still wanted to paint more, so Mrs. Bo took another picture album for her to paint.

Shu Shu stood by, watching the interaction between the old and the young, leaning over to look at Ni Guzhu's strokes.

There is no shortage of talented girls in the Eight Banners. As Ni Guzhu is the eldest daughter, there are few restrictions. If she has talent, she can be well cultivated.

But seeing the immature lines and the blur, Shu Shu felt that it was better to be more objective.

"Ah Mou, Ni Guzhu won't follow me. I was good at drawing flowers when I was a child, and I had painted patterns for Ah Mou a long time ago..." She said with some regret.

Mrs. Bo laughed and said: "You were six or seven years old at that time, how can you compare with a two-year-old child? We Niguzhu are smart. This painting is so good, we will never make mistakes in the future."

Shu Shu glanced at Mrs. Bo. The old lady is fifty, is she starting to have dazzled eyes?
Go back and tell Brother Jiu to see if there are any reading glasses in the building office.

After coming out of Ning'an Hall, Shu Shu went to the back building.

The nine-nine anti-cold picture is also hung here, not in the form of plum blossoms, but in the form of copper coins.

This kind of anti-cold picture has rules when applying it, not like plum blossoms.

When it is cloudy and sunny, it is necessary to distinguish between the left wind and the right rain.

This is the general rule for daubing.

It's the same 81 copper coins. When they are all smeared, winter turns to spring.

It's a cloudy day today, and only the upper part of the first copper coin in the first string is painted.

Shu Shu hugged her two sons in turn and said to Grandma Qi, "It's cloudy. There will be heavy snow in the next few days. Does Grandma's leg hurt?"

Grandma Qi shook her head and said, "I used Sanfu patch this summer. It's much better. Some of the soreness is not obvious."

Shu Shu felt relieved after hearing this.

Treating winter diseases in summer is the current mainstream of health care and treatment. However, ordinary people tend to avoid treating diseases and treat them only where they occur. There is no such thing as maintenance half a year in advance.

Shu Shu believes this. In the past two years, he has received many Sanfu posts, all of which are aimed at various old diseases.

In addition to Mrs. Bo and Aunt Qi, the Dutong Mansion also paid two tributes.

Parents hope that their children will be worry-free and prosperous, and children also hope that their parents will be healthy and live a long life.

I am a child and a parent.

Shu Shu looked down at his two sons.

It's amazing that a child of such an old age can already see his personality and temperament.

Fengsheng is tolerant and generous, Akdan is gentle and considerate, and both of them are well-behaved.

Last year, Shu Shu paid more attention to the frail Akdan, and Akdan indeed relied more on her; this year, she has begun to adjust herself and try to treat every child as fairly as possible.

He did not refuse Akdan's dependence, but he would also take the initiative to get close to Fengsheng.

She has met very good parents and hopes to be a good mother.

The whole morning passed like this.

When Shu Shu returned to the main room, sat at the tea table and poured herself a cup of osmanthus black tea, she was relieved.

Even those who are in Nirvana still need to have time alone.

Ging Guo came in and took some gift lists.

"Fu Jin, there are officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are giving New Year gifts..." Shu Shu put down the tea cup and said curiously: "It's earlier than previous years. It starts at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month every year..."

Bai Guo nodded and said, "Yes, it's the winter months outside Beijing, and it's mostly the twelfth lunar month in the city."

Shu Shu took the gift order.

The filial piety of three festivals and two birthdays is also a custom, but the weight of today's gift list is a bit heavy.

Shu Shu directly looked at the signature, and it was revealed that Wang Youde was the doctor in Guangcu Treasury.

I vaguely remember the name, I've seen this name a few years ago.

Shu Shu handed the gift list to Bai Guo and said: "Look through the annual gift booklet for the past two years and see how much there is. There is no need to put today's things in the warehouse, just leave them alone for now..."

Ging Guo took it and went down to check.

Shu Shu was thoughtful.

Is Guangchuku taking action again?
In the four years since Prince Ninth took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has never made any drastic changes.

I guess the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also helpless. If they had known that Ninth Brother could be so tormented, they would have either resisted from the beginning or been obedient from the beginning. They would not have been fighting like this, with ups and downs...

In the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Jiu looked at the ginseng booklet compiled by the head of the Imperial Pharmacy.

The ginseng that has been stored in the palace for the longest time is the ginseng that was put into storage in the seventh year of Kangxi's reign. During the ginseng harvest year, more than 500 kilograms of dried ginseng were harvested, including first-, second-, third-, and fourth-grade ginseng, and fifth- and sixth-grade ginseng. Then he will be divided among the princes of the Eight Banners.

However, what was kept in the books was second-grade ginseng. The third-grade and fourth-grade ginseng were rotten and had to be cleared and canceled later.

The time is almost the sixth or seventh year of storage.

Brother Jiu glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.

The old accounts that happened more than 30 years ago have been settled, and the teahouse's doctor has changed several times.

He focused on the accounts after Kangxi's 36th year.

According to the Royal Pharmacy, the 36-year-old ginseng has not lost its medicinal power.

At this time, more ginseng was put into storage than before.

It used to decrease year by year, but it has now become one or two hundred pounds a year.

Later, a new ginseng field was opened, and the weight returned to [-] to [-] kilograms after storage.

The year when the most ginseng was used in the palace was the 36th year of Kangxi, when 220 five kilograms were used. This was because the Holy Emperor went on a personal expedition, and many princes and ministers accompanied him and rewarded a lot of ginseng.

In other years, the annual consumption of ginseng is between 110 kilograms and 130 kilograms.

As a result, the surplus ginseng within five years should be about 900 kilograms. The book shows more than [-] kilograms. Some of them are cleared year by year due to improper storage and loss of medicinal efficacy.

This loss is within the normal range.

There doesn't seem to be much problem with this account book.

But compared with the ginseng of previous years, it is more obvious.

A large amount of the ginseng that was stored in the warehouse in the past five years has been lost and cleared in the past five years, totaling four to five hundred kilograms of ginseng.

You know, because the number of people has decreased in the past few years, the palace's annual surplus is only thirty or fifty pounds.

Ginseng in the early years has not been lost for ten or eight years.

In recent years, it has been lost all at once?

This account can confuse people who don't know how to do it, but Brother Jiu can probably figure it out after reading it back and forth.

The ginseng that has been stored for ten or twenty years at the front cannot be sold at a high price even if it is sneaked out.

Only new ginseng within five years can be sold at regular prices.

This is nothing more than grafting new ideas on.

Moreover, the transferred share is not [-]%, but [-]%.

Brother Ninth couldn't help but be angry.

Ginseng is used to treat diseases and save people. If ginseng without medicinal power is used to treat diseases, it will delay the treatment time, which will be fatal.

This harms the life of the royal family!

Brother Jiu immediately exploded and called out a message: "Go and send a message to Du Tu and arrest all the officials in the teahouse. I want to see how courageous they are!"

The writing style went down.

The twelfth elder brother looked up and looked at the ninth elder brother with worry.

Brother Ninth's face was tense, holding back his anger, and said to Brother Twelve: "I will go to the tea warehouse to see what I have to say. You go to the Imperial Pharmacy and ask the two imperial doctors on duty to join me in the tea warehouse!"

The twelfth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, have you got the vines and ginseng in the warehouse?"

Yang ginseng is mountain ginseng, also called garden ginseng, not wild ginseng. According to legal regulations, it cannot be sold as wild ginseng. It is regarded as fake ginseng, and the price is very different from wild ginseng.

Brother Jiu sneered: "Who knows, let's see what we can find out soon!"

He ordered a few pen posts and headed to the teahouse.

The twelfth elder brother didn't delay and immediately went to the Royal Pharmacy.

The opening hours of the six warehouses are limited every month, [-] for the silver warehouse and satin warehouse, [-] for the leather warehouse and clothing warehouse, and [-] for the porcelain warehouse and tea warehouse.

Today, November 23, happens to be the day when the tea warehouse is opened.

This warehouse key is kept in Liuku during the day and handed over to the guard class of Qianqing Palace at night.

Brother Ninth came with a vigorous and high-spirited writing style from our yamen office.

The Yuanwailang, the director, and the director of the commission office here at the teahouse got the news immediately.

They already knew that Brother Jiu wanted to check the ginseng reserve book. In the past few days, the director of the medicinal food room was also responsible for checking the accounts and came to the tea warehouse.

But is there anything wrong with this account?

Why did brother Jiu rush over here on his own?
