My father-in-law is Kangxi

Sure enough, Kangxi summoned the two princes and mentioned the matter of the granaries of the northern provinces.

  "Previously, governors from various regions were ordered to verify and report. In order to prevent the state government from concealing the report, the Ministry of Revenue also arranged personnel to go on inspections to prevent actions harmful to the people. We are not well prepared..."

  Kangxi looked at his two sons and said.

  The ninth elder brother had just arrived and didn't say much. He only looked at the fourth elder brother, feeling a little confused.

  Didn't it mean that the prince was just walking in the courtyard?
  Isn't it decided by the Minister to arrange the errands of the magistrates to places?
  However, the fourth elder brother showed no objection and asked: "Khan Ama, in addition to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Anhui, do you also need to arrange personnel to check the official warehouses in other provinces?"

  Kangxi pondered for a moment and said: "No need, let's focus on these places first..."

  These are the places affected by this year's drought. If a nationwide inspection were conducted, the news would be huge.

  Brother Jiu's face showed curiosity.

  Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu.

  Brother Jiu couldn't hold it back and said: "Khan Ama, why don't you investigate Zhili?"

  Because of the Yongding River, Gyeonggi is often prone to floods. However, apart from Gyeonggi, other places in Zhili also experience droughts nine times out of ten.

  Kangxi's face became more patient and he said: "Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, is a good official, an honest man, and his conduct is trustworthy to me..."

  Brother Jiu nodded, and his mind immediately thought of Garli.

  That guy doesn't look like an honest person. I don't know what I can find out by checking the official warehouse in Shanxi this time.

  It seems that the emperor was well aware of Galli's greed, otherwise he would not have just returned from Shanxi and wanted to check the official warehouse in Shanxi.

  Next, Kangxi looked at Si Age again and said: "When monks come to pay homage, they always donate money from local officials, which is a burden to the local government. From now on, the Ministry of Household Affairs can use the money and grain as the main item, and there is no need to donate."

  Fourth elder brother agreed.

  Brother Jiu, who was watching clearly, understood a little bit why an old man was chosen to replace Ma Qi as the Minister of Household Affairs last year.

  This is to let the minister put his name on it, and actually regard the fourth elder brother as the minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

  My fourth brother does not have the name of the elder brother in charge of the department, but he is actually the elder brother in charge of the department.

  But it’s just Brother Four, and no one else would be willing to take on such a trivial errand.

  When he came out of Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu couldn't help but muttered: "Ama Khan ordered you to do errands, and why do you ask me to make up for it? It's a long trip..."

  The fourth elder brother looked at him and said, "Look at the files of Monk Fan's coming to court later, calculate the amount of money needed each year, and add it to the main expenditures of the Ministry of Household Affairs later."

  Brother Jiu didn't find fault with the small job, he just said: "Isn't it too flattering? You also need money from the court... How come Buddhism and Taoism don't have this expense?"

  Si Age said: "Fan religion is different. All tribes in the grassland believe in Fan religion, which is conducive to the imperial education."

  Brother Jiu, who followed the Northern Patrol, knew that there were many monks in Mongolia, and said: "Yes, there is no need to 'reduce' the Ding. In order not to divide the family wealth, the herdsmen directly sent the second and third sons to become monks. This policy is indeed good……"

  By the time the two brothers returned to the household department, it was already noon.

  The food boxes from the Prince's Mansion have been delivered.

  Although the Hubu Yamen also had official meals, Shu Shu also asked someone to prepare food boxes.

  Brother Ninth does not need to be a courtesy corporal. He is a prince himself, and he does not take official meals from the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  When the fourth elder brother saw this, his eyes paused, but he didn't say anything.

  The food box is still hot and the food is not cold.

  The ninth elder brother invited the fourth elder brother to eat together.

  It’s not something extravagant. The meat dishes are a salt-baked chicken leg and a spicy stir-fried chicken offal. The vegetarian dishes are assorted cabbage rolls and fried fungus with yam. The staple food is millet cakes and semolina steamed buns, and a seaweed and egg soup.

  Fourth Brother has stayed at the Prince's Mansion for meals, but most of them are guest meals, and many of the dishes are more exquisite than those outside.

  I didn't expect the daily dining room to be so simple.

  After eating, the fourth elder brother said to the ninth elder brother: "Your identity is here, you don't have to be so simple..."

  "what?"

  Brother Jiu was a little surprised. He looked at the food and said, "Isn't it meat and vegetables, dry and thin?"

  Fourth Brother pointed at the two plates of whole grain staple food.

  Brother Jiu said: "This is what I, Fujin, specifically ordered, and this is how we eat at home. Isn't it because my uncle has gained weight in the past two years? Guidan has also gained weight, and my fifth brother has also gained weight. I, Fujin, are afraid of me." Like them, they gain weight easily. To prevent diseases from entering through the mouth and getting thirsty disease, pay special attention to your diet."

  After hearing this, Fourth Brother shook his head and said: "Nonsense, Diabetes Disease is caused by loss of yin essence and excessive dryness and heat. Only those who suffer from the disease are thin, how can they become fat?"

  Brother Jiu proudly said: "You just know a little bit about it. I, Fujin, have verified it, and I also asked Le Fengming. Diabetes disease is a disease of getting fat first and then losing weight. It is a disease of wealth. Only rich people who are not tired of eating can get it. Poor people don’t have this. It’s completely true that they get it from food..."

  What he said was so convincing that Si Age stopped arguing with him and just said: "Anyway, you have to ask a serious doctor, don't just read medical books and just make supplements."

  Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, my brother is cherishing his life and living for his seventies and eighties..."

  When he said this, the fourth elder brother became worried about his health and said: "Don't do it too hastily when checking the files. Don't hurt your eyes. Check the documents of the past ten years and organize them in two pens. You don't have to do everything by yourself... …”     Brother Jiu was filled with joy.

  He thought so too.

  This kind of daily errand is of no benefit to him, so what should he do so carefully?
  If there is a pen post style, naturally the pen post style will be done...

  The errands of Ninth Brother Hubu started from this small errand.

  But he also knows that being lazy requires skill.

  You can't be lazy at first impression, otherwise no matter how diligent you are in the future, others will look like you are lazy.

  This first errand cannot be put off.

  Brother Jiu brought two pen notes and copied down all the expenses for more than ten years in three days.

  Then, according to the different status levels of the monks who came to the court, the three levels were listed, the expenses of the three levels were averaged, and then totaled up, and the question book was written.

  The ninth elder brother did not think about sending it to Yuqian, but directly handed it to the fourth elder brother.

  He didn't mean to overshadow the guest.

  The fourth elder brother has been on duty for more than ten years, and the ministry has almost reached its turn. The ninth elder brother is just starting out.

  I can't stay in this household for long.

  The fourth elder brother was very satisfied after reading the detailed data above. He praised the ninth elder brother and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Are you tired these days?"

  Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "I've been looking through the files all day, and I feel dizzy. Fourth brother, I just want to take a break for two days..."

  Fourth elder brother: "..."

  Brother Ninth pleaded: "When my brother was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was on duty for half a day."

  Brother Si said helplessly: "I have just arrived. If you work harder, didn't you read the documents of the Eight Banners Division before? Let's continue reading..."

  Brother Jiu didn't know why, but a little fat man rolling around on the floor appeared in his mind.

  He looked at Brother Si and wanted to say more.

  Fourth Brother said: "Okay, let's rest for a long time today and recuperate our eyes..."

  Brother Jiu was a little irritable.

  This was not what he expected.

  He doesn't want to be a diligent prince!
  I just watched the fourth elder brother writing official documents again, and the ninth elder brother didn't make any trouble, and went out with his mouth drooped.

  The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother's back with satisfaction on his face.

  Although he is a bit lazy and has no ambition, he is quite serious about his errands and understands that the overall situation is the most important thing.

  Each year seems to be getting better and better.

  After leaving the Hubu Yamen, Brother Jiu went to the clan mansion.

  In the past few days, because the ninth elder brother is diligent and works all day every day, the tenth elder brother also comes to work all day.

  It's just that he has no specific errand. He is just to help Su Nu and take care of the clan's weddings and funerals.

  I heard that the ninth elder brother was going home early today, and the tenth elder brother immediately followed him out.

  "Can we take half a day starting tomorrow?"

  Brother Ten asked.

  Brother Jiu shook his head and said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It seems to be really busy. The fourth brother has to go home after the shift every day. I heard that when Thirteen is here, the palace gate is also about to be closed. I just returned to the palace, and I haven’t been able to do it for only half a day..."

  After hearing this, Brother Ten said: "Then just be patient and wait until the Holy Master is no longer in Beijing."

  Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's the only way."

  The tenth elder brother said: "How will the ninth brother give this year's longevity gift?"

  Others don't know it, but the tenth elder brother knows that in addition to the official longevity gift every year, the ninth elder brother also has a private contribution.

  The ninth elder brother spread his hands and said: "Follow the example of my brothers in public, and halve the filial piety in private..."

  The tenth elder brother was a little surprised and said: "But the ninth elder brother is no longer on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Without the filial piety of 'three festivals and two longevity', do we still need to pay a share of this private filial piety?"

  Brother Jiu said: "We are also the ones who receive gifts. The people here are filial every year and receive them happily. If we stop, then who will be happy? If you want to have the dignity of a 'loved son', you must have this filial piety." …”

  After hearing this, Brother Ten was worried about him and said: "But even if it is reduced by half, it will still be thousands of taels of silver a year. This burden is too heavy..."

  Brother Jiu said: "We don't need that much, so we have to make do with things. In the past few years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also collected a lot of antiques and curios. If we add them in, we can still make up for a few years. After these few years, the tea over there will The transaction went smoothly, and the money came out..."

  Seeing that he knew what he knew, Brother Ten was relieved...
