My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1550 Blue Armor
Shen Zheng, after all the matters were dealt with, the official seal of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sealed, and the ninth elder brother went home.

The tenth elder brother had already arrived first, and the two brothers got on the carriage.

He has to go to Nanyuan tomorrow. Brother Jiu doesn't feel honored, but feels a headache.

"What do Khan Amma think, tossing things at this time?"

Brother Jiu muttered.

Although the "Third Nine" has passed, this "Four Nine" is also so cold that one can freeze one's jaw.

Then he sent people in advance to tell them to bring their own horses and bows.

The tenth prince couldn't figure it out for a moment and said, "Is it because you feel depressed in the palace?"

Brother Jiu said, "Didn't I just go hunting in the winter? Wasn't it enough?"

Brother Ten blinked and remembered the ownership of the two tiger skins.

Could it be that the eldest brother and the prince were asked to go on a siege?

The ninth elder brother reached out to the tenth elder brother to plan the Holy Driver's tour this year.

"In February, I visited Jidian, in April, I visited Yongding River, in May, I visited the outside of the Great Wall, and in November, I visited the mausoleum... In this year, I spent a total of six and a half months outside, and most of the days I spent in Beijing were in Changchun Garden. In total, Have you only lived in the palace for a few days? We are not around the outside of the Great Wall, so the New Year's Eve has basically dragged us along?"

The tenth brother asked: "If I take Ninth Brother, will Ninth Brother be willing to go?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Are not letting you go and not wanting to go the same thing?"

The tenth prince laughed after hearing this.

This is almost as picky as the Fourteenth Brother, except that the Fourteenth Brother is not lovable, and the Ninth Brother is much better than him.

Brother Ninth Brother remembered what he said to Shu Shu, and said: "Let's see this year. If there is no me outside the Great Wall, I will take your Sister-in-law Ninth to Rehe to see the progress of the palace..."

Then we can stay there for two months and escape the heat.

The tenth elder brother heard his heartbeat and said: "In a few years, our eldest elder brother will be vaccinated against acne. I also want to ask for a business trip to take Fujin to Abahai."

Brother Jiu made some calculations and said, "It will be next year."

When they arrived at Beiguanfang, the brothers went to their respective homes.

Shu Shu here is looking at the gold ingots sent by Yinlou.

This is a purse for the New Year, and it is for little elder brother and little princess from various prefectures who come to pay New Year greetings.

There are small goldfish, golden Ruyi, golden peanuts, golden safe buckles, golden melon seeds, etc.

There are also silver ones, ingots, peace cards and silver beans.

They all looked very exquisite, and a tray was placed.

Brother Jiu saw this and said, "What a shame, our family will have to wait a few years before we can say New Year's greetings!"

Before getting vaccinated, you definitely can’t go out to pay New Year greetings.

There will be so many people there that the children may not be able to stand it.

Shu Shu said: "It's the same whether you harvest early or harvest late."

Even before we got married, we could go to visit each other for more than ten years.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. In the early days, one tael of silver was exchanged for a thousand coins, but now it is only exchanged for [-] coins. The imperial court has so few coppers that it is impossible to exchange it for only [-] coins in the future."

Shu Shu listened, took a one-tael silver ingot and said, "Listen to what I said, we will lose money by saving money."

The majority of a child's New Year's money is still the family's savings.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, if you look at the price of rice, it sounds like rice has been six hundred to eight hundred cents per stone in recent years, but the price of silver has increased from six to eight cents, to seven and a half cents." One tael of silver..."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "In that case, the money we saved should be converted into property and put aside."

The prices of shops and real estate in Beijing have been rising.

After more than ten years, when Fengsheng and his family split up, there should be a huge increase.

Brother Jiu said: "Shops in the capital are hard to come by. It's so troublesome. I've thought about it. In the spring of next year, I'll ask people to ask for shops in Tongzhou and Baoding. I just buy them and collect rent."

Shu Shu has no objection. At this time, the shop is indeed a business that only makes money but does not lose money.

Neither husband nor wife is ambitious, and they don't want to make too much noise, so it's good to make sporadic purchases of properties every year.

The next day, brother Jiu got up early.

Shu Shu packed two sets of riding clothes and two five-force bows.

Brother Ninth also chose two horses to take with him.

As for Brother Ninth himself, of course he can’t ride a horse.

Brother Jiu couldn't stand riding a horse for thirty miles on this day.

Due to the lack of security, a siege was required, so the elite guards and army guards from the Prince's Mansion came with them. The guards here were Erhe, Fuqing and Chunlin, and the guards also ordered fifty.

After this year, although the number of guards in the mansion has not been replenished to 80, there are still [-] people.

It is also more convenient to spend fifty to go out.

When Shu Shu sent the ninth elder brother to the gate of the prince's mansion, the tenth elder brother also came out.

Shifujin did not come out.

She was not long after confinement, her energy was still weak and she was relatively sleepy, so her tenth brother did not wake her up.

After saying hello to Brother Ten and watching the two brothers get on the carriage, Shu Shu also went back to catch up on her sleep.

It's only five o'clock, it's still dark outside, and people are feeling sleepy.

In the carriage, Brother Ninth yawned and held a cowhide bag with a cotton cover in his hand. He handed it to Brother Ten and said, "This is yours. Your sister-in-law prepared it..."

Brother [-] took it and drank it. It was slightly hot in his hand. It was not filled with hot wine, but ginger milk tea.

Brother Ten took a few sips and his whole body felt warm immediately.

There is plenty of ginger and sugar in this milk tea, which is quite refreshing.

Brother Jiu thought about the guards and guards who were following him, and said, "We are not going to be asked to compete, right? If it were just us brothers, there would be no need to compete at all. Who has more bow power is all decided by Khan Amma, so what's the matter? Why bother us?" Besides, during the Eight Banners military parade earlier, the princes had already practiced archery. How long had it passed?

Brother [-] responded and said, "Who knows, maybe Shihan Ama is just taking us to relax..."

But he was thinking about Brother Jiu's words in his heart.

If you don't look at their brothers' bow power, what are you looking at?
Are you looking at the guards and soldiers in their brother's mansion? !

The full number of guards for the County Prince's Mansion is 150, and the full number of guards for Baylor's Mansion is 100.

As for the guards, there are 15 in the County Prince's Mansion and ten in the Baylor Mansion.

With such a small number of people, what is there to see?

Brother [-] found it incredible.

But apart from this, what else is worth mobilizing troops and mobilizing people for?
Brother Ninth picked up another box and handed it to Brother Ten: "This is yours too..."

It turned out to be a cotton mask and leather gloves.

Shu Shu asked the sewing room to temporarily prepare this for Ninth Prince. He prepared a few more sets for Ninth Age to give away.

Brother Ten accepted it and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth doesn't trust you. You should be careful and don't get sick at this young age."

Brother Jiu said: "I just make up the numbers. Seeing everyone's excitement, I will never make up the numbers..."

The brothers did not need to enter the palace, but waited directly outside the Qing Gate for the holy driver to come out.

When we arrived at the boundary, it was already brightly lit.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother got off the carriage and went over to arrange their shifts.

Seeing that the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother were all wearing riding clothes, but the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were wearing normal hoods, the ninth elder brother was surprised and said: "It's so early in the morning, you have to ride a horse." Follow?"

The eldest brother looked at the ninth brother and saw that he was serious and holding a stove in his hand, and said: "Don't worry about others, just take care of yourself."

The third elder brother said with a hint of pride: "Yes, yes, don't worry about getting sick when it's cold, just watch the excitement when the time comes."

The fourth elder brother said nothing and only glanced at the tenth elder brother.

Last time Nanyuan performed the movie, the tenth prince was not there. I don’t know if the tenth prince will show his hand tomorrow.

After a while, the holy driver left the palace, accompanied by the princes, and left the city in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at the Nanyuan Paddock and Kangxi entered the palace, someone came over from the front of the palace and told the princes to pass.

In addition to Kangxi, the prince was also in the room.

Let’s all say hello to you two.

When Kangxi saw it, he looked at the crowd and said: "The prince has lowered his flag. As usual, the prince of the flag wants to present the blue armor. It is not easy for the princes of the clan now. I have not asked anyone to ask for it. Tomorrow we will go to the siege. Five guards and army guards will be sent out from each mansion." Fifty, I will take out one hundred pairs of blue armor to reward the three families with the most prey. The first one will have fifty blue armors, the No.2 will have thirty pairs, the No.3 will have twenty pairs..."

The prince wears armor and chooses armor, which is divided into three colors. The red armor will follow him on expeditions or outings, the white armor will guard the door, and the blue armor will support everyone.

Both red armor and white armor are in short supply. The ten princes had previously thought of 150 coins and grains for the county prince's palace and [-] coins and grains for Baylor's mansion. These increase or decrease according to the rise or fall of the title.

Blue armor is used to make up for the shortage of silver. A pair of blue armor earns three taels of silver per month, which is 36 taels a year.

The blue armor was first established as a reward for military exploits and did not increase or decrease with changes in title.

Fifty blue armor is one thousand, eight hundred taels of silver a year.

Thirty pairs are one thousand and eighty taels.

Twenty pairs are 720 taels.

Everyone looked at Big Brother.

The eldest brother had no intention of speaking.

The third elder brother, on the other hand, was concerned and confused. Seeing that the eldest elder brother was silent, he took the initiative to ask: "Khan Ama, where is the blue armor that my sons will wear when they lower the flag?"

He was first granted the title of king of the county, and the number of armors presented by princes of his banner was equal to that of his eldest brother, no less than 64 pairs of blue armors.

That’s more than 2000 taels of silver!
Seeing that no one mentioned this before, he thought it had changed from their generation and there was no blue armor.

After all, they were ennobled by Prince Ouchi, so they were justified in being awarded the title of Lieutenant Colonel of the Five Banners. However, it would be unkind to take away the blue armor left by someone else's meritorious service.

Tomorrow the prince will set up a reward, but it should not be confused with the worthy blue armor.

Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and said, "Next year, we will ask the clan government to keep an eye on it and urge each family to make up for it."

The third elder brother smiled and said no more.

Tomorrow's hundred blue armors will be Khan Amma's supplementary son. He will fight to keep the second and the first!

The fourth elder brother glanced at the prince.

The prince lowered his flag, which excluded the prince.

He moved his eyes and thought of the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers standing behind him.

Others have separated their families and have military guards under them. The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are still living in the palace, and no manpower has been allocated.

The fourth elder brother asked: "Khan Ama, what about the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother who will go out to surround them tomorrow?"

Kangxi looked at the [-]th elder brother and the [-]th elder brother.

The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were both a little confused. They really had no one. Every time they left the palace, the guard department would temporarily deploy people to follow them.

Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Today you can choose six people from the third-class guards and 50 people from the army to participate in the siege tomorrow..."

The twelfth elder brother responded, but the thirteenth elder brother was already beaming with joy and said: "Thank you Khan Amma for your grace!"

The twelfth prince also thanked him.

Now that the site for the Prince's Mansion outside the palace has been selected, they are just waiting to start construction in spring. Both of them know that it is built according to the plan of Beizi Mansion.

The two of them and the Fourteenth Brother, if there were no accidents, they would all have been born in the first year.

Beizi's salary is one thousand, three hundred taels, which is not enough to support his family.

If they can get a share of this Blue Armor subsidy, even if it is No. 3, it will be half a kid's salary...
