My father-in-law is Kangxi

When the twelfth elder brother left after lunch, the ninth elder brother did not go to the Changchun Garden immediately, but returned to the main room, ready to take a nap.

The ducks had been mopping up for a month before, and the dog weather was too hot now, so the frogs finally stopped, but the cicadas kept singing one after another.

Shushu and Brother Jiu had no choice but to let Xiaosong bring two eunuchs with them, and started sticking cicadas with sticky sticks.

The couple was lying on the window to watch the fun.

Seeing that the effect was good, Brother Nine couldn't help but feel moved.

When he went to the Changchun Garden in the afternoon, he went to the guard to be on duty. The chief guard on duty today was Fushan, who was also acquainted, and he was the second-class guard of the Prince's Mansion, Erhe's Ama.

Brother Jiu was not polite, and said: "Master Fu, do you remember that there is a 'Shangyu Spare Office' under the guard office? What do you do on weekdays, how many people are there in total?"

Fushan said: "Exactly, it is responsible for fishing and hunting during the emperor's tour. The guards will be selected from the guards. There are 40 guards in total."

It's just that this is idle work, and it can be regarded as playing when serving the emperor on tour, such as sticking birds, fishing and so on.

Brother Jiu said: "That's just right, the cicadas are singing very loudly right now, don't just work when Sheng Jia is traveling, let's work now!"

Fushan: "..."

He saw that elder brother Jiu didn't respond immediately.

Although they are all working in the palace, the bodyguard office is not under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Brother Nine said: "Qingxi Bookstore is an important place where Shengjia resides. I can't be rough and send eunuchs over there to cicadas. Aren't you the right match? Are you not idlers?"

Seeing that Fushan was in a bit of a dilemma, he patted his forehead and said, "Okay, my master will go to the emperor to ask for an order first."

He went to Qingxi Bookstore again, feeling a little annoyed.

I just wanted to save some money and not increase expenses, so I didn't plan to specially arrange this temporary vacancy.

After all, the time for cicadas to sing is limited, and there are only about forty days in total.

The results were neglected.

Arriving outside Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu directly told the eunuch at the door to see you.

The eunuch did not send a message immediately, but bowed and reminded in a low voice: "Master Jiu, the crown prince is here."

It is not good to go straight into the pass.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, then when the crown prince comes out, you can go in and report, and the master will go to the house and wait."

The eunuch said gratefully: "Master Xie Jiu is sympathetic, the slave will not delay, and when the crown prince comes out, he will report immediately."

Brother Jiu didn't take it seriously, and went to the value room outside.

There is an ice basin in the duty room, and there is an official waiting to see him, in his early fifties, with a strong body, wearing a second-grade suanni supplementary suit, his face is black and red.

Seeing the yellow belt around Brother Jiu's waist, the man hurriedly got up.

The man who was on duty at the house said to Brother Jiu: "This is Mr. Gao Bisheng, the chief soldier of Yunnan Kaihua..."

After finishing speaking, he said to the military officer: "This is Master Jiu..."

Gao Bisheng hurriedly saluted Qianli, and said: "Slave Gao Bisheng has seen Master Jiu, please greet Master Jiu."

Brother Jiu couldn't help being moved when he heard Yunnan, he nodded and said, "Come on, is this your majesty's speech, or your majesty's opinion?"

Majesty's speech is before going from the capital to other places.

Your Majesty sees that after entering the capital from other places.

The man got up and said: "The servant arrived in Beijing yesterday, and handed over the booklet to the emperor and master to greet him."

Brother Nine understands that this is returning from his post, and under normal circumstances, he is about to be promoted.

In these thousands of miles away, there is no need to come back to report on work.

He sat down on the chair, motioned to Zongbing Gao to sit down too, and said, "How far is Kaihua Mansion in Yunnan from Jingdong Mansion?"

Gao Zongbing sat next to the chair, thought for a while, and said: "The mountain roads are relatively winding, and it takes [-] miles."

Brother Jiu was stunned. He really didn't expect that it would be so far away in the same province, which is equivalent to walking half of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

He lost interest immediately.

The local green battalion and the Eight Banners cannot leave the station casually.

A radius of one or two hundred miles is more reasonable, but it is more than 1000 miles away, and there is no chance to go there.

Seeing Brother Jiu's displeasure, Chief Gao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Jiu wants to ask Nian Tongzhi from Jingdong Mansion?"

Brother Jiu was curious, glanced at Zongbing Gao, and said, "Listen to this, do you know Nian Xiyao?"

Gao Zongbing said: "The slave's hometown is Guangning, he is from the same town as the Nian's family, and he is also a junior of the old in-laws."

Only then did Brother Jiu become interested, and said, "How is Nian Xiyao, when can I come back to report on my duties?"

Gao Zongbing said: "Before I returned to Beijing, I received a letter from Nian Xiyao. It sounds like everything is fine. As for returning to Beijing, this slave can't say well. Yunnan is remote, and most local officials are allowed to serve only after two terms." Up and down."

Brother Nine heard this and made some calculations in his mind.

Nian Xiyao took office last year, that is, he could not be transferred from Yunnan until the 43rd year of Kangxi at the earliest.

Just right, in six years, the tea garden should be in order.

He was in a good mood, and said: "Jingdong Mansion produces tea, does Kaihua Mansion have any special products?"

Gao Zongbing said: "Kaihua Tuyi has Panax notoginseng and Dendrobium."

Brother Jiu immediately became serious after hearing this, and said, "Then how much did you bring back to Beijing this time? Do you have any rich ones on hand?"

Gao Zongbing said: "Right now there are five catties of sanqi and five catties of dendrobium, which have not been distributed."

Brother Nine immediately said: "Master, I will pay you twice the market price outside!"

Gao Zongbing hurriedly said: "You are welcome, if Master Jiu wants to use it, just take it."

Brother Nine waved his hands and said, "What's the matter? It's no longer a blackmailing official! I'm not short of money, so I still need you to show my filial piety?"

Speaking of this, he asked: "Which banner do you belong to? Whose property is it? Do you want to leave some for the banner owner?"

"The slaves are from the Han army with red flags, and the masters of the slaves are Su Beizi, and the masters have already left five catties for each." The chief soldier said.

Brother Jiu laughed twice.

What a coincidence, it was the Zuo Ling population under the name of Su Nu Beizi.

It's really no coincidence.

Brother Nine recalled a news about a red flag, and said: "A while ago, a vice president with a red flag missed his errand and was downgraded. Are you filling that vacancy this time?"

General Gao shook his head and said, "The slave returned to Beijing this time to correct the Red Banner Han Army Deputy Commander."

Brother Jiu nodded.

This is also in line with the rules. From the past few years, the selection of the governors and deputy governors of each banner is not only selected in the banner, but also expanded to the left and right wings of the Eight Banners.

The left wing of the Eight Banners is the four banners of yellow, white, white, and blue, and the right wing of the Eight Banners is the four banners of yellow, red, red, and blue.

While talking, Liang Jiugong came over and said, "Jiuye, the emperor is uploading it."

Brother Nine got up and said to Zongbing Gao: "Then Gao, wait a little longer, and leave without saying a few words."

He didn't know that there were officials waiting to see him in the afternoon, so he asked the eunuch to report directly, but he joined the team once.

Gao Zongbing hurriedly said: "Slave is not in a hurry."

Brother Jiu didn't say anything, and followed Liang Jiugong out.

Liang Jiugong was surprised, and said, "Master Jiu still knows the magistrate?"

Brother Nine said: "I heard that he came back from Kaihua Mansion, so I made a point and bought a few catties of Sanqi and Dendrobium directly."

Liang Jiugong smiled, he didn't know how to answer the conversation, it was really something Jiu Ye could do.

Really not afraid of strangers, meeting for the first time this time, can make out old friendship.

When they arrived at Yuqian, Kangxi asked after Brother Nine invited Ann, "Is the Piku cleaned up? How about the wear and tear?"

He was worried about the long time, the careless preservation, and the ruin of the fur.

Estimating the time, I thought Brother Jiu came here for this matter.

Brother Jiu was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect to ask this.

He was a little confused.

Said like a complaint.

But if you don't say anything, how will the account be returned?

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it because of Piku's business? Then what's the matter?"

Brother Jiu didn't answer immediately, but listened to the cicadas singing outside.

Qingxi Bookstore faces the water at the front and back, and is surrounded by trees. The movement of cicadas is much louder than that of the North Five Schools.

Brother Jiu said: "My son came here for the sound of cicadas singing. When I was at brother's place at noon, I saw the girl brought the eunuch to stick cicadas with sticky sticks. The effect was good. Thinking of Khan Ama, I went to the guard's place just now. Ask the staff at the 'Shangyu Spare Office', there are sticky sticks or something there, you can take turns after entering the ambush, so you don't need to prepare another manpower, just prepare a double salary for one and a half months, and you don't need to pay for the rest of the time, Mr. Fu I didn’t dare to answer, my son came to his senses now, the order is reversed this time, and he hasn’t come to the emperor to ask for an order yet.”

This was driven by filial piety, Kangxi didn't care about it, thought about it, and said: "It's better to use bodyguards, as long as you are more flexible."

In the past two days, the little eunuch Nian Chan was also arranged, but the effect was not great, and it made people upset.

Kangxi didn't forget Brother Nine's strangeness just now, and said: "Did Piku find out what's wrong?"

If that's the case, he won't feel at ease about the remaining four warehouses.

Brother Jiu thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, and said: "There are no omissions on the books, except for the damage, it is [-]% less than the treasury. It was used by Yuqing Palace, and the accounts are vague. I only wrote down the date of the payment, and there is no reason, my son was worried that a slave from Yuqing Palace would claim it falsely, so I ordered it to go on, and in the future, I must record this sum carefully, which master will use it when and for what purpose."

Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Twenty and a half? Where's the account book?"

Brother Nine said: "It's at the value house of Yuanzi."

Kangxi said: "Call someone to fetch it."

Brother Jiu responded, went out and ordered He Yuzhu to send all the four account books from the morning.

He Yuzhu trotted away, and after a quarter of an hour, he came back out of breath.

Brother Nine took four account books, returned to Qingxi Bookstore and presented them to the emperor with both hands.

Kangxi briefly looked through the first three account books, focusing on the fourth book.

No wonder Brother Nine was worried that someone might claim it. Usually, winter clothes are bought after the beginning of autumn, and the big wool and small wool fabrics should be used at this time. As a result, the time for Yuqing palace to use leather is all over the place. four seasons.

In addition to the big wool and small wool fabrics, the time when the ivory mats are used is also strange. It is not recorded in the beginning of summer, but also in autumn and winter.

There are only 22 beds in the front and back of the Yuqing Palace with only ivory mats.

But there are only six people in Yuqing Palace who can be called masters, including the late Mrs. Li, there are only seven people, how many children are there, and each person has three ivory mats?
There are no ivory mats for the concubines in the harem.

Looking at the use of big wool materials, in only 38 years and one year, they received two tiger skins, eight black fox skins, eight silver fox skins, four volumes of sable skins, and twelve volumes of sable skins.

Kangxi looked at this number and was speechless for a while.

Because he wanted to prepare a dowry for Jiu Gege before, he also read the princess dowry documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he remembered clearly that the big woolen materials in the princess dowry were not as much as what was spent in this year.

A few days ago, he still felt that Brother Nine was a prodigal, now he knows what a real prodigal is...
