My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 922 Hard Relationship

The Ninth Prince's Mansion, the upper room.

Shu Shu is looking at this year's Dragon Boat Festival gift list.

This is one of the "Three Festivals and Two Longevity", and it is uncommon for doctors in various departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare boxing rituals.

Since it is an official practice, in fact, it is not his own money that is thrown away.

For example, the money that the husband and wife gave to the Qianqing Palace actually came from the doctors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These doctors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have received filial piety from their subordinates.

In the hands of the subordinate officials, there are still many unqualified shortages.

Wool comes from sheep.

Is "Three Festivals and Two Longevity" necessarily related to corruption?

To say that there is no relationship is nonsense, and to say that there is an inevitable relationship does not seem to be very accurate.

This ethos was originally a matter of etiquette.

After all, China is a country of etiquette and a society of human relations.

For a long time, the taste has changed a bit.

Xiaochun is in charge of the internal accounts, and can clearly sense the difference between this year's Dragon Boat Festival ceremony and last year's.

"Thirty percent more than last year's Dragon Boat Festival..." Xiaochun said.

During the Dragon Boat Festival last year, they were still on their way back from the southern tour, but they just received the gifts without delay.

It can be supplemented, but it cannot be missing.

Shu Shu nodded, and said: "I'm very smart, even if I didn't understand it before, I should have understood it in the past few months..."

Brother Jiu is not tactful, nor does he hide his likes and dislikes.

After this year, it seems to be fair and fair to directly confront relatives, but as long as you inquire clearly, you will know what is going on.

Those few families were entrusted with the big family, and they didn't take Brother Nine seriously, and the annual ceremony was too thin.

The reason is very simple, and no one will think that brother Jiu is different.

This sour face is famous.

Even the princes of the clan are not used to it, how can they still get used to the wrapped family?

Those few families seemed to have eaten a big dung, and there was no place to complain, and they would have to be blamed by their relatives, which was not appropriate.

No matter how much I cursed in my heart, I was submissive on the face, which was directly reflected in the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said, "Single out these few companies and mark them..."

In that case, it will be convenient for Brother Ninth to check, and he can explain clearly the before and after in front of the prince...

*
At the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Nine is about to leave.

He looked at Elder Brother Twelve and said: "The business of Yufeng Building is good, don't wait in the palace all the time, and spend more time in the imperial city..."

Brother Twelve looked at him and said, "What does Brother Ninth want to investigate?"

Brother Jiu said: "I heard that the noodles in Yufeng Building are good, and the cook is the imperial chef who retired from the palace. Since the dishes are similar to the dishes in the palace, the ingredients must be similar..."

Elder Brother Twelve understood that Brother Ninth was eyeing the imperial dining room again.

Brother Nine thinks relatively simple.

He's just a temporary housekeeper.

This is Khan Ama's House of Internal Affairs.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog.

If he insisted on jumping out by himself to clean up the Dong family and the Li family, the emperor might not be happy.

100 million taels, spread over 50 years, is 2 taels a year.

What about two 200 million or three 200 million?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of supplies, and it has also occupied a lot of places.

There are more than 4000 officials, and each person is greedy for 100 taels of silver a year, which is more than 40 taels!

It's better to push this number up and let Khan Ama make his own decision.

If the old man is willing to let his slaves embezzle several 10 taels of silver a year, then he will still maintain the scene of peace and prosperity.

Also, fish in troubled waters.

It also makes the coating less vigilant.

If more people are involved, they will still be lucky, feel that "the law does not blame the public", and look forward to making big things small and small things small.

To save the dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and making any stupid moves.

Ninth elder brother pulled the purse from his waist, threw it on the table of twelve elder brothers, and said: "I heard from your tenth elder brother that they have live fish at home, you can try it in the afternoon, and then order a few to send to our house, don't Carp, grass carp, carp is fishy, ​​your sister-in-law doesn't like it..."

Brother Twelve didn't pick up the purse, and said, "Brother Ninth, I have money here..."

For example, 50 taels of silver per month, which cannot be spent.

Brother Nine said: "What are you talking about? I asked someone to listen to it later, and thought that the master took advantage of you and bullied the little brother..."

Elder Brother Twelve glanced at his desk, the one-foot-high files, and Brother Ninth's desk, it was clean.

Isn't this bullying? !
After Brother Nine finished explaining, he was already planning to go home.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the House of Internal Affairs, he ran into Brother Seven head-on.

Seventh elder brother stopped when he saw ninth elder brother.

Seeing his sullen face, Brother Jiu had a bad feeling.

This brother is very well informed.

Could it be something to do with the accounting department?
Although Dai Jia's flag was raised, according to the rules, only one room was raised, and most of his relatives were still in the House of Internal Affairs.

"Seventh Brother..."

Ninth elder brother is embarrassed.

It's one thing for him not to give privileges to his relatives, but it's another thing to really confront these people.

The brothers have a good relationship, so there is no need to affect the relationship for irrelevant people.

Brother Seven said: "Going out of the palace?"

"Hmm..." Brother Nine nodded honestly.

Brother Seven signaled him to follow, and said, "Then we'll talk about it after leaving the palace..."

Ninth elder brother slowed down, took half a step, and followed behind seventh elder brother.

Seventh elder brother had a serious face, and ninth elder brother was well-behaved.

In the eyes of the guards at Xihua Gate, it was the ninth elder brother who was slipped away by the seventh elder brother.

"Master Jiu has always been proud of himself, but this time he looks guilty and doesn't know what to do..."

Someone whispered.

"Could it be that you stopped Qi Ye's family to fill in the vacancy?" This was guessed by others.

These guards guarding the gate of the palace are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they naturally know the news of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The biggest news after the year is that Brother Jiu will wear small shoes for those relatives...

Outside the Xihua Gate, Brother Nine's carriage is already waiting.

Brother Nine took a look at Brother Seven and said, "Why don't we get in the car and talk?"

Seventh elder brother was not polite to him and got into the carriage.

Brother Nine had no choice but to follow in the car.

Guixiangzhai is Dong's business, so it should have nothing to do with Seventh Brother.

That is Yufeng Building, the business of Qibeile Mansion?
I haven't heard of it...

Didn't you say that the people in Nancheng opened it?

It seems that the owner's surname is Gao, and he is not a member of any royal family, but an old householder in Wanping, and the restaurant has been open for decades.

Seventh elder brother looked at him and said: "You asked someone to investigate Yufeng Tower? Don't investigate, it has something to do with the Qianqing Palace..."

Ninth elder brother really didn't expect this answer, he was a little confused, and said: "Seventh brother, what do you mean by this? What is the relationship with Qianqing palace? Is that Gao the nephew of a great eunuch, or a protector?" A relative of the Holy Lady?"

Brother Seven looked at him, lowered his volume, and said, "You know about Luan Yiwei, right? Luan Yiwei has a secret line, and the Gao family is affiliated with Luan Yiwei, collecting information for Yuqian!"

Brother Jiu couldn't help frowning.

Of course he knew that Luanyiwei was the famous Jinyiwei in the previous dynasty.

But does the Qing Palace know the rent of the 48 taels of silver for those ten shops with big facades?

Should not know.

This made people even more panicked.

If the disciples of the princes and nobles outside came to collect money, it would be reasonable to say, but the eyes and ears of the imperial court are collecting money...

Is the reported news reliable?

Seventh elder brother told him the whole story, and he had nothing to hide, so he talked about the rent of the accountant's office.

"My brother was still worried that he would wrong someone, so I went to have a look. The location of the Sanchakou, there are ten front-facing houses on the upper and lower floors, and the best restaurant in the imperial city. The annual rent is 48 taels of silver, not to mention anything else. The place is Di'anmenwai Street, which is separated by a wall, and the annual rent for such a shop costs more than 800 taels of silver..."

"It's not a year or two to take advantage of it. Yufeng Building has been open for decades..."

"The Accounting Department has such a big 'nest case' right under their noses, and they turn a deaf ear to it. Is the news they sorted out the real news, or is it the news they want Han Ama to read?"

"I still can't tell if I'm cheating, but I'm sure if I'm cheating..."

Seventh elder brother frowned, he really didn't expect there to be such a big mistake.

Ninth elder brother was in a low mood, and handed the summarized piece of paper from his purse to seventh elder brother, saying: "My brother made an estimate in the morning, it is not easy to calculate according to the market outside, after all, everyone knows that the rent of the official house is cheaper , only based on the 100% of the outside, the rent that has been invaded these years is 2 million taels, and the Yufeng Building is a small [-] taels..."

The shop in Yufeng Building was listed as five in the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, five shops were expanded in the open space next to it many years ago, and there are already ten shops.

It's still a two-story building, and it looks very grand.

The annual rent of 48 taels is a joke.

Seventh elder brother looked at the paper in his hand, the form was clearly recorded, and there were various notes beside it, the relevant year, and the current price for reference.

He found it difficult, looked at Brother Jiu and said: "In one or two years, you should calm down, even if you want to deal with someone, don't be in a hurry."

Brother Jiu said indignantly after hearing this: "Brother Seven, what are you talking about? It seems that my younger brother is looking for trouble, so be careful! My younger brother was ordered by the emperor to rent a shop for Jiugegequan, only to find out about this, how about it? Who would want to see how much rent they paid?"

Seventh elder brother said: "Finally understand the seriousness, since it's a 'nest case', you don't want to get involved..."

Brother Nine rolled his eyes, pointed in the direction of Jingshan, and said, "Seventh brother, there will be a censor yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the next year, and four full censors will be transferred from the Inspector's Office..."

It happened to be the time when the censor's yamen became powerful.

Brother Jiu had a plan before, it would be best to let the Yushi Yamen lift the cover here, just to deter and deter these old men from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who have been sloppy for decades.

Seventh elder brother looked at him and said: "Not many things, wait for the superior..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "The money involved in Yufeng Building is not only the accounting department, but also the imperial dining room. There are a lot of 'leftovers' in this palace every year..."

For palace women who are registered, as a rule, one catty of pork a day, this one has a lot of water.

Two meals a day are all big pots of rice. Where can I eat a catty of meat?
Two slices of meat per meal is fine.

But this pork still has to be purchased and put into storage as needed.

Otherwise, the account will not be matched.

After entering the warehouse, it becomes "leftover material" and leaves the warehouse, and it will be a sum of money when it turns back...
