My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1121 Asking the Heart
In order to taste the taste, everyone basically tasted all the dishes, dim sum, porridge and soup.

There was nothing unpalatable.

Potatoes stewed with pickled cabbage and braised potatoes are somewhat vegetarian, but they are full of flavor and taste good.

There are two dishes like stewed with meat, and fried ones, which are more delicious than ordinary dishes.

Steamed small potatoes, everyone also ate it once.

Big brother likes to dip in barbecue sauce, and thinks this potato should be good to eat baked.

Kangxi, the prince, and the fourth elder brother chose to dip in the sauce.

This is the seasoning that ordinary people have.

The taste is actually not bad.

Brother Fourteen was thinking about the shredded potatoes just now, and wanted to eat something sweet, so he greeted He Yuzhu and said, "Give me a plate of white sugar."

He Yuzhu went in response, and after a while, he brought over two large and small sugar dishes, the small one was placed directly in front of Brother Fourteen, and the large one was placed on the turntable.

Brother Fourteen peeled the potato and got a small potato the size of an egg. He dipped it in the sugar and ate it happily.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he said: "It's delicious, it's no worse than taro dipped in sugar, and it's not as choking as big taro."

Except for the elder brother who doesn't like sweets, everyone else has tried this new way of eating. Not to mention, it's delicious when paired with it, and it's a simple dessert.

Elder Fourteen made inferences and said, "It shouldn't be wrong to dip it in sweet-scented osmanthus sauce or honey."

He Yuzhu was clever, and without waiting for Brother Fourteen's order, he went down to get these two things, and also brought a plate of fine salt and a plate of shredded mustard pickles.

Everyone is almost eating, so I try to eat all kinds of potatoes directly, dipping honey in one bite and salt in the other.

Except for the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers, each person ate two or three small potatoes.

The prince got up and said to Kangxi: "Congratulations to Khan Ama, congratulations to Khan Ama, you can expect a prosperous life with this fine seed."

Everyone followed suit.

They are the elder brothers of the prince, and they naturally hope that the people's livelihood will be peaceful.

As long as they have enough to eat, there are a few people who are willing to give up the easy life they have got.

But if you don't have enough to eat and become a refugee, it will be terrible.

The Ming Dynasty fell, and it died of natural and man-made disasters.

Man-made disasters are next, or natural disasters.

The natural disasters in the Qing Dynasty have not been interrupted in these years. Zhili in the capital city has experienced nine droughts in ten years, and floods in the Huanghuai area every year.

The tidal disasters in Zhejiang in the past few years were also rare in a hundred years.

With good grain, the common people can eat enough, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be three points more stable.

"Congratulations Khan Ama, congratulations Khan Ama..."

The princes also shouted in unison.

Kangxi's heart was also agitated.

Today, the world is safe and peaceful, and the world is peaceful, and the rest is expected to be satisfied by the family.

Kangxi motioned for everyone to sit down, then looked at his sons, and said: "I was enthroned at the age of eight, and it has been 39 years since then. , the Eight Banners can be stable, and the country of the Qing Dynasty will be more stable; on the contrary, if the inside is chaotic, the outside will be full of monsters."

At the end, his eyes glanced at the elder brother and the prince.

Both the elder brother and the prince lowered their heads.

Eldest brother can't tell what it feels like, is he the one who wants to fight?
But for more than ten years, his "big thousand years old" has been raised high.

The prince is not lenient, do you want to hand over your life to the prince?

It's better to be more comfortable and comfortable if you are so wimpy.

The crown prince also couldn't help but slander, but the emperor's father is the same as before, everything is the most important thing in the East Palace, and other people will not be ambitious.

Now the older princes are all away from their residences, and the former ones have been conferred titles, allocating the population of assistant leaders, and giving money and property to the branch family, but what does Yuqing Palace have?
Now two or three years can not see anything.

Ten or eight years?
The disciples of these princes come out and spread all over the property, will they still be honest?
The atmosphere is a little dignified.

Everyone also saw that Kangxi was beating the elder brother and the prince.

There is no room for others to talk about it.

On the other hand, Brother Nine, I feel puzzled in my heart.

Has the elder brother met the prince recently?

Is my news too closed?

His out-of-this-world appearance fell into Kangxi's eyes. He snorted softly, looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Isn't he very clever on weekdays? Why didn't you think of taking the right seat? It takes two or three hours to deal with errands every day. Isn't it too slack?"

Brother Jiu said honestly: "My son is the chief manager, and the official duties are under the supervision of the doctors and chiefs of the various departments. If the son has to do everything by himself, then he must not be tired... I am exhausted..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, my son recently discovered a good way to keep in good health. I have tried it myself and the effect is good. You can try it."

Seeing his serious appearance, Kangxi said, "What method?"

Brother Jiu said earnestly: "Go to bed half an hour earlier, wake up half an hour later, and take a nap. This day, my mind is clear, my body is not lacking, and my appetite has increased."

Kangxi sneered and said: "You don't go to the palace for feelings, and you only come to the garden to work in the garden at the beginning of the day. Is it because of health?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I'm going early and I'm free, waiting for the official documents from the city to arrive, it's about this time."

The atmosphere suddenly eased up.

Kangxi looked at the black and thin elder brother and said: "Diligent errands, you must also master the scale, and you must cherish your body. You can't just ignore it because you are young. Now the production of potatoes is just for people to count, and it will take two months for corn to grow." Harvest, don't be tense, take a good rest for a few days, and take care of your body."

The fourth elder brother stood up to receive the training, and said with shame, "My son is not filial, and Han Ama is worried."

Kangxi said: "It is said that the ruler is short and the inch is strong. You should also learn from Brother Jiu's strengths. If you want to be lazy, be lazy. A combination of work and rest is the long-term way."

The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, nodded reluctantly and said: "My son takes orders."

Kangxi looked at the third elder brother again, and said, "Are you sorting out the ritual regulations of Taichang Temple these days?"

The third elder brother got up and said: "Yes, there is no rule without rules. Before the preparation of the ceremony in Taichang Temple, there were no routines, and it was easy to make mistakes. When the regulations are summarized and sorted out carefully, the officials will be more thorough in their errands, and they will not grind their guns in front of the battle and go out to Duanyang A flaw like that."

Kangxi praised: "Very good, you can sort it out carefully."

You must know that the third elder brother was in the Ministry of Rites before and had no real power, but his errands were more glamorous.

At the beginning of the month, he went directly to Taichang Temple for a walk. He thought he would respond negatively, but when asked, he still looked good, and Kangxi was not stingy about complimenting him.

The third elder brother respectfully replied: "My son takes orders."

His expression remained unchanged, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past month, he has also been worried.

In terms of filial piety, it is because I am worried about the situation of the biological mother in the future, and I can't figure out the attitude of the emperor's father.

If you are not filial, you are also afraid that "a son is not as valuable as a mother", and your own status will lose the dignity of the imperial court when your biological mother descends.

Looking at it now, it was as usual.

He lowered his head, his eyes were a little hot.

That's fine, if I'm safe, even if the biological mother is really at fault, the imperial father will be lenient.

Kangxi looked at the eighth elder brother again, and his face was warmer than before.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Kangxi asked.

The eighth elder brother stood up, with a firm face, and said: "My son knows that upholding the law is upholding the dignity of the court; upholding the law is upholding justice in the world."

This sounds a bit wrong.

Everyone is a little confused.

Brother Nine naturally looked at Brother Ten with a questioning look in his eyes, what news is this?
Elder Brother Ten shook his head slightly.

I really haven't heard of it.

If it didn't spread to the outside world, he wouldn't pay special attention to Eighth Brother's affairs.

It's just that he looks like a good man with such a dignified appearance.

Kangxi didn't mean to say more, and said: "You are not young anymore, you should have your own decision, but don't be reckless, you need to make a decision before acting."

Brother Eight nodded.

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Is it possible to prepare the official cooking pot you mentioned earlier? The wheat in Huangzhuang has been harvested, and it is just right for a crop of potatoes to be harvested. By the beginning of September, a lot of potatoes will be harvested."

Brother Nine nodded and said: "That's right, just set up a pot directly in Huangzhuang, let Twelfth Brother watch this matter, there are wine making craftsmen under the House of Internal Affairs, call it directly, even if it's not good, it's okay Alcohol can be distilled for use in the army, or spirits can be distilled and sold directly to Mongolia."

There was no one else at the table, so he just talked about the plan.

Everyone has heard about alcohol.

It is a stronger wine than first wine, which can disinfect wounds and can also be used when fever is reduced.

Big Brother swallowed.

He tried it with his greedy mouth and drank two taels, just like he usually drank a catty, but the spicy taste of the mouth was also addictive.

When the prince heard alcohol, he thought of Akdon.

This is my mistake again.

Brother Jiu and his wife came forward to help save Akdon, but they have not officially thanked them.

But this can't thank you with your mouth, it seems perfunctory and insincere, and the emperor will be picky when he looks at it.

He had to think of a way to return favors and let the emperor know that he was estranged from these brothers, but he had no hatred.

Kangxi neither nodded nor shook his head.

Whether it can be tried or not depends on the yield of the next crop of potatoes.

He looked at Elder Brother Ten again, and said, "A while ago, you sorted out the patriarchal clan and Jueluo booklets. Apart from marriage, do these families have any difficulties?"

Elder Brother Shi thought for a while, and said: "It's okay if there are nobles and families with real shortages, idle clans without real shortages, only one money and rice, life is hard, and funerals are not decent; there are also families with many children, who have to be at least 20 years old. You can only receive money and rice when you are old, and it is embarrassing to chew and use."

When the clan is dead, when reporting to the clan's mansion, the funeral money is usually allocated, but this is not a rule.

It is not uncommon for noble and respectable clans to reward hundreds of thousands of silver for funerals. In fact, these families do not lack this silver.

On the contrary, those side clans who are not named in front of the imperial court, without this money, it is difficult to maintain their dignity after death.

But right now not only extravagant marriages are popular, but also extravagant funerals.

In desperation, these impoverished clans had to sell their properties or borrow usury loans in order to send the elderly decently.

Kangxi listened and remembered this matter.

At present, those who can be called the clan are all the descendants of the great ancestors, and they have not yet made five uniforms with the royal family.

No matter whether you are successful or not, you still have to preserve your face...
