The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

After Nine Elder Brother and Fifth Master joined forces to take down Zhijun King, and the fourth master on the other side also successfully got the prince to agree to pay back the money, the fourth master and others who are next to the next city are naturally happy.

Although the ninth elder brother and the fifth master did not take the initiative to take on this task like the fourth master at the beginning, but since they have been assigned to this task by Kangxi, no matter whether they are unhappy or unhappy, they still have to do what should be done.

Especially Fifth Master, now he can't wait to get this matter done quickly, otherwise he doesn't know how much more frightened he will be.

It's just that fourth master and the others are happy, but Prince Zhijun is not.

After Brother Jiu and Master Wu left, King Zhijun, who was fooled by Brother Jiu into a fever and agreed to pay back the money, calmed down, and he was not a brainless person.

Of course, he doesn't have much brains, but he still has the thinking ability that he should have. Besides, after so many years in officialdom, Zhijun Wang will be a little bit influenced by what he says.

But...

Although King Zhijun had calmed down and thought something was wrong after Brother Jiu and the others left, but after thinking about it, although some of what Brother Jiu said was fooling him, it cannot be said that all of them were wrong. It's flickering.

At least he was right, if he paid back the money this time but the crown prince didn't, then they would naturally be sentenced in Kangxi's mind, and isn't this what King Zhijun always wanted?

So even though he already knew that he was probably fooled by Brother Jiu and Master Wu (Fifth Master: I am not, I am not, I am really innocent), King Zhijun did not get angry, anyway, he was looking forward to Brother Jiu The occurrence of said situation.

As a result, looking forward to it, King Zhijun heard that the prince had also paid back the money.

King Zhijun: "...???"

Pay back the money too?

After the agreement is gone, the prince will have no source of resources?

It was agreed that if there is no source of funds, there is no way to repay the money, so it can only be used as a foil for him?

King Zhijun was angry, very angry, so angry that he wanted to hit someone!

So on the second day when the crown prince paid back the money, King Zhijun went straight to him as soon as he saw Brother Jiu. Everyone was curious about how Brother Jiu and Lord Wu joined forces to persuade King Zhijun to pay back the money. , so I pay special attention to them today.

Seeing Prince Zhijun walking towards Brother Jiu aggressively, everyone opened their eyes wide, wow, this is going to be a fight, right?

Everyone was so worried that the adrenaline soared.

For the few steps that King Zhijun took, quite a few people have figured out in their minds how Brother Jiu and Fifth Master persuaded (coaxed) King Zhijun to pay back the money, but they were rejected. King Zhijun saw through the drama that he was now coming to make trouble.

However, King Zhijun is not stupid. Although Kangxi has not yet come out to court, there are a lot of Kangxi's eyeliner here. If there is any disturbance, it will soon reach Kangxi's ears.

So even if he was angry, King Zhijun didn't show it obviously... well, he didn't show it super obviously, even to prevent those who pricked up their ears to worry about (eight) hearts (gua) them from hearing what he said, Zhijun Wang even lowered his voice and said to Brother Nine: "Brother Nine, you have caused big brother a lot of misery."

Brother Jiu: "...???"

"Brother, where did you say that?" Brother Jiu looked surprised, and then he heard Zhijun Wangdao, "Didn't you say that the prince would not be able to pay back the money without Suo'etu's help? But now He paid it all back."

Here comes, finally comes.

The fifth master on the side knew from the fourth master that the prince had also paid back the money, so he knew that such a day would definitely come, so seeing the king of Zhijun coming directly to the door at this moment, he felt panicked.

"Brother, listen to me..." Fifth Master hurriedly said, but before he finished speaking, Brother Jiu interrupted him, saying, "Fifth Brother, stop talking."

Fifth Lord: "...???"

"Since the eldest brother doesn't understand our painstaking efforts, then forget it."

Fifth Lord: "...??????"

"Painful? What painstaking?" Zhijun Wang looked at Brother Jiu suspiciously, because he had been fooled by him before, and he had a successful record, so at this moment, King Zhijun was on guard against Brother Jiu and avoided himself. Repeat the same mistakes.

"Brother, you said the crown prince has paid back the money, right?" Brother Jiu didn't care whether King Zhijun was wary of him, and asked him seriously.

"That's right." Zhijun Wang nodded.

"Then why did I hurt eldest brother? I clearly did you a big favor!" Brother Jiu said confidently, "Brother, just imagine, if the prince pays back the money, and you don't pay back a penny, what will Huang Ama do?" think?"

"This one……"

"Think about it again, if the crown prince uses this moment to arouse Huang Ama's loving father, and the two reconcile as before, what will happen to you?"

"This one……"

"So big brother, do you still think I hurt you by asking you to pay back the money?" Brother Jiu said, "Big brother, you should be glad that I asked you to pay back the money earlier, at least you can still grab the money and pay it back in front of the prince." Otherwise, you will become a follower following the prince."

King Zhijun: "..."

What he said made sense, but he was speechless.

The king of Zhijun is arrogant and arrogant, and he is really domineering, but it is not easy to turn the corner in his head, and it is really not easy to turn the corner. He always secretly reminded himself not to be fooled by what he said.

As a result, after listening to what he said, Prince Zhi felt...

He was right.

"Since big brother doesn't believe our words, let's forget it." Brother Jiu said with a disappointed look, "In the future, we will return from bridge to bridge, and let's forget about the way back."

After finishing speaking, Brother Jiu didn't give King Zhijun a chance to speak, so he lifted his foot and left. The fifth master who stayed where he was, looked at King Zhijun, then at Brother Jiu's back, and then told King Zhijun With the sentence "Brother, younger brother, let's go first", he quickly followed in Brother Jiu's footsteps.

Just kidding, if you leave him alone with King Zhijun, Fifth Master is worried that he will reveal his secrets in a short time.

There is no way, it is true that King Zhijun's brain is not very good at turning corners, but it is also true that Fifth Master will not open his eyes and tell nonsense, so it is safer to take a step first.

Although the fifth master always disliked Brother Jiu's coquettish operations and frightened him a lot, he had to admit that he did have two skills. Of course, it was also because Brother Jiu dared to let go.

In the same way, Master Wu does not believe that only Brother Jiu wants to get it, but it is true that only Brother Jiu dares to do it now, so it is admirable to dislike it, and admire it.

So Brother Nine, whom the fifth master admired, came to a new show operation when he was in court.

Why is it imperative to pay off the treasury arrears?

That's because this matter is too important, so even though he knew it was difficult, Kangxi did it directly. Otherwise, according to his face-saving emperor, how could he ask for repayment?

Although Kangxi didn't speak up in person, since he has already hand-picked the fourth master and the others to settle the debt owed by the state treasury, there is no difference between rounding up and down as if he had spoken in person.

After all, if he didn't open his mouth, even if Fourth Master was worried about the emptiness of the treasury, he would not force Kangxi to pay the treasury arrears.

So when going to court, Brother Nine suddenly stood up and offered to report to Kangxi on the progress of paying the treasury arrears.

"Oh?" Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu. In fact, Kangxi knows who is paying back the money now. After all, he really cares about this matter, so even if the matter is handed over to his sons, He won't ignore it either.

Seeing Brother Nine suddenly come here, Kangxi, who didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, said, "Then tell me about it."

"Yes." Brother Nine responded, and then reported to Kangxi that they have recovered more than 100 million in arrears. Of course, the arrears of more than 100 million are not limited to the prince, Zhijun Wang and Tong Guowei. What the three of them owed, including many members of the Tong family.

It can be said that under Tong Guowei's call, nearly 80.00% of the Tong family members have returned all the money they owed to the treasury. As for the remaining 20.00%, they have not paid back due to various reasons.

After all, although the Tong family is full of prominent families, everyone has a few poor relatives, and the Tong family is no exception. Some Tong family members are indeed unable to repay the money they owe.

However, these people didn't owe much in the first place, so they couldn't afford to pay it back, and Fourth Master and the others didn't care too much about it, because their focus of paying the national treasury arrears this time was those who were obviously rich but didn't pay back.

When the others heard Brother Jiu say this, they wondered if Jiu Beile wanted to ask the emperor for credit?If this is really the case, then it is a bit too impatient, because the matter is not finished yet, if it is really credit, would it be possible that Long Live Lord would not show it?

However, is Brother Nine's purpose really for this?

Of course not.

What did brother Jiu do after reporting to Kangxi the progress of their payment of the treasury arrears?

In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, he was photographed by King Zhijun...

Rainbow fart? ? ?

"That day, when Erchen and Fifth Brother visited Eldest Brother's Zhijun Prince's Mansion, Eldest Brother told us that it is natural for a son to share the worries of his father, and it is even more obligatory for a minister to share the worries of the king, so The eldest brother directly asked the people from the account department to come to reconcile and write off the accounts on the spot."

"Huang Amarong." After Brother Jiu finished the above paragraph, the fourth master came out and praised the prince. It wasn't that the fourth master and brother Jiu had been in contact with each other, so they gradually became "nine" , but if you only praise the Prince Zhijun and not the Crown Prince in this matter, then it is hard to guarantee that the Crown Prince will not have any opinions on Brother Jiu.

Although according to the distinction of superiority and inferiority, even if you want to praise, you should praise the crown prince first, but Brother Jiu has already praised Zhijun King first, so what can fourth master do?

He could only change the name of the prince and call him the second elder brother directly. In terms of dignity, the prince goes first to the queen of the county, but in terms of seniority, it is different.

It has to be said that although Fourth Master is too serious and too tough to give people the impression that he is not easy to get close to and get along with, in fact Fourth Master is mean, but he is really protecting his weaknesses.

So during the singing and harmony between Brother Jiu and Fourth Master, he gave a lot of rainbow farts to King Zhijun and the prince, and the last sentence is——

Sons and courtiers like the King of Zhijun and the Prince are really their role models.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Kangxi saw his two sons praising his other two sons so much. Although he knew what they were planning, Kangxi still cooperated and praised the prince and Zhijun Wang.

What does Kangxi's boast mean?

It means that he agrees with the words of fourth master and ninth elder brother, so those who haven't paid back the money, are still waiting to see, and still have a fluke mentality have to be careful.

Unless they are so stubborn that they don't care about Kangxi's opinion, otherwise they have to pay back the debt if they are willing, or if they are not willing to pay, or wait until most people have paid it back, then they will not pay it unless there are special circumstances Didn't the person in the house become a thorn in Kangxi's side every minute?

However, the truth is this. Others know that they know it, but it doesn’t mean they can accept it calmly. I won’t say that Ba Ye is a special case, but like King Chengjun, even if he didn’t pay a large amount of money in advance, but now It is not a piece of cake for him to pay back all the money owed to the treasury.

Although it is said that there is no Three Princes Party in the court, it does not mean that King Cheng has not drawn connections. In addition, he always likes to hold poetry conferences. Not to mention spending money like water, it is almost the same.

Firstly, because King Cheng really likes poetry and books, and secondly, because of the status of King Cheng, it is not easy to fill up the things used for holding poetry meetings, so the money is naturally wasted in this way.

What can I do if there is not enough money to spend?

I had to borrow from the treasury.

Not everyone is as gifted in business as Brother Jiu, even if people nowadays think it is a vulgar thing to talk about yellow and white things, but to be honest, the emperor can’t do without money , let alone others?

So don't look at how noble Chengjun Wang is on the surface, how much he dislikes Brother Jiu for actually going into business on his own accord, but in private, he may be jealous of how much he makes a lot of money.

Why do some people call Brother Jiu to be God of Wealth Jiu in private?Is it just because he is the only one among the princes who often goes to sea?

Of course not, the reason why he is called Brother Nine is because he is a good businessman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can turn everything into gold.

But now it doesn't matter if you are not jealous. The important thing is to return the money. If possible, King Chengjun really doesn't want to pay it back. How could he not feel pain when he returned such a large sum of money?

But it’s not impossible now, the prince has already paid back, and the king of Zhijun has already paid back, no matter whether it’s about seniority or seniority, it’s his turn to go down.

Fourth Master, Fifth Master, and Ninth Brother are the executors who will pay the treasury arrears this time, and their money will definitely be repaid, let alone Seventh Master and Twelfth Brother.

The eighth and tenth elder brothers have the help of the ninth elder brother (Chengjun Wang only knows that the relationship between the ninth elder brother and the eighth master is no longer what it used to be, but he doesn't know where the difference is), the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also have the fourth elder brother Help, as for the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th elder brothers, they are either still studying in the study room or still drinking milk, so the matter of paying back the money has nothing to do with them. Because they never borrowed money at all.

So King Cheng counted and counted, and felt that among so many brothers, he alone was the most pitiful. Although he was not the only one who had no brothers to help him, the crown prince and King Zhijun had Kangxi's preference, while the seventh master and the tenth One of the second elder brothers was born with a disability, and the other received special care from Kangxi because he was raised by Aunt Su Ma since he was a child. You can tell who the two of them married Fujin.

And what about King Chengjun?

Although the sequence is at the front, it didn't take advantage of it, just because his biological mother Concubine Rong gave Kangxi so many children, but almost one of them died. It would be a lie to say that Kangxi had no objection to her. up.

Otherwise, in the ranking of the four concubines, Concubine Rong, who gave birth to Kangxi's five sons and one daughter, and even gave birth to his real first child, could not be ranked at the bottom. What about Concubine and Concubine De?

You must know that the two of them are younger than Concubine Rong, but they are ranked ahead of her. Apart from Kangxi's opinion on Concubine Rong, there is probably no other reason to explain it.

Thinking of this, King Cheng couldn't help but think, it would be great if his brothers survived safely, so that he would not be without the support of his brothers, and their mother would not be rejected by Huang Ama because of this.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his poor Chengjun Wang couldn't care less about paying back the money or not. When he got emotional, he wanted to go back to the study and write a poem first.

On this side, Chengjun Wang Shixing was very angry, while on the other side, Ba Ye, who was considered by Chengjun Wang to be helped by Brother Jiu, was full of hair at this time, because what he had to face now was not only the problem of repaying the money, but also the problem of replacing others. Pay back!

It can be said that Ba Ye is the most popular among the many princes. This is something that other princes can't catch up with, but good popularity comes at a price. For example, now someone comes to ask him to borrow money. To borrow or not to borrow?

If Ba Ye still has the money bag of Brother Nine to help, then of course he borrowed it, why not borrow it?Others have already opened their mouths. If he doesn't borrow it, won't it make people feel that his name of kindness is not worthy of the name?

But now without Brother Nine's help, Ba Ye finally tasted the feeling that a penny can't beat a hero.

"Why don't I find an excuse to dismiss them?" an aide said.

"No." Ba Ye said, "I'm afraid they came here because they knew that Ye was at the house, how could they avoid seeing him?"

Thinking of this, Ba Ye ordered Zheng Yong to go to the cashier to withdraw the money. He Zhuo frowned and said, "Master, it's no problem to lend money to one or two people, but the problem is that once the money is borrowed, it's like opening a hole." .”

At that time, other people will swarm over like sharks smelling blood. How will we solve it then?

"The last time he was on a tour with Huang Amasi, Ga Li had privately sought out Grandpa." Eighth Master said.

He Zhuo was startled, and looked up at Master Ba. The words sounded endless, but in a blink of an eye, he suddenly guessed the intention of Master Ba's sudden words, and said, "No, master. Lord, Gali is an upright official on the surface, but you know what's going on behind the scenes."

If he was really an upright official, then he would not do such things as blackmailing his colleagues. Even the governor of Pingyang Prefecture was not a good person, but after knowing that this person was corrupt, Ga Li did not immediately read his book, but chose to submit it to him. He asked for hush money, and he's not a nice guy either.

But Ba Ye said: "Cao Yin and Li Xu are also greedy, but they are also reused by Huang Ama."

He carefully analyzed the impact of Brother Jiu's departure on them with He Zhuo. In fact, the settlement of the treasury arrears and the people under his family coming to borrow money did make Ba Ye a little bit distressed, but these things are not impossible. fixed.

But what about after that?

It's impossible for Eighth Master to give up on seizing the heir, but if he doesn't give up, where will he go to find a new money bag?Now that Ga Li took the initiative to find him, Ba Ye felt that it was not impossible to develop him into his next pocketbook.

"Ga Li's ability to raise money is no worse than that of the ninth brother." Ba Ye said.

He Zhuo moved his lips, wanting to say that brother Jiu's money was earned from doing business in an upright manner, and that Gali's money was earned from corruption and bribery, and the money he got back from people's anointing.

But after working with Ba Ye for so long, He Zhuo knew that he seemed gentle, but deep down he was very persistent. If he talked about this, it meant that he had made up his mind. No matter how much he said, it would be in vain. So He Zhuo shut up.

Ba Ye, who thought he had convinced He Zhuo, didn't know what he was thinking, let alone how much trouble the decision he made at this time would cause him in the future.

Let’s talk about this time, because Brother Jiu came out when he was in court, no matter whether he liked it or not, people who owed money came to the Ministry of Accounts to pay back the money one after another. It's a little more difficult.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

Kangxi didn't intend to make it difficult for others. Seeing that the fourth master and the others had collected all the debts owed by the princes and ministers in the court, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the empty treasury was instantly filled up, the old man would give him a seal when he was happy. The fourth master and the fifth master were the king of Yongjun and Hengjun, while the ninth elder brother was bestowed the title of Xiangbeile, and each of them was given 1 taels of silver.

"Xiang..." After receiving the decree, Brother Jiu was thinking about the title Kangxi gave him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The word Xiang has the meaning of helping and assisting since ancient times. With his title, isn't it because he wants to make him do more work for him in the future?

The more I thought about it, the more reasonable Brother Jiu almost wanted to throw back the imperial decree he got backhand to Kangxi. Is there a mistake? It’s fine if you cheated him once, but now you’re addicted to cheating him. Are you going to cheat him for a long time? ?

Originally, the ninth elder brother planned to settle accounts with Kangxi (bushi), but Kangxi turned around and took the crown prince, Zhijun king, fifth master, eighth master, thirteenth elder brother, fourteenth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother, tenth elder brother, etc. The six princes went on a tour outside the Great Wall together.

Concubine Yi said a long time ago that when Kangxi went to Mongolia for summer vacation next time, she would definitely find a way to name Fifth Master, not to help Fifth Master to win favor, but just to help her eldest daughter-in-law.

So this time, the Fifth Master took the Wufujin with Kangxi on his tour of the Great Wall, and only the Wufujin. As for who the others brought, it doesn't matter.

Can Bafujin get pregnant this time?

This is something that many people want to know.
