Chapter 30

It is no accident that the eldest princess and Haifeng visited Chengqian Palace at this time.

Xiaozhuang specially asked the two of them to visit Tong Guowei's Fujin Hershey family and give her some gifts by the way.

"Oh, you don't get paid for nothing, how can a slave receive such a heavy gift for nothing."

Seeing that the gift was thirty bolts of brocade, and thirty bolts of golden brocade, which was far beyond the usual etiquette, Hesheli stood up and kowtowed in the direction of the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

Seeing this, the eldest princess quickly helped her up.

"Fu Jin doesn't have to be like this. My ancestors are a bit lazy because of Mulan's preparations. Otherwise, please go over and talk. It's just a few pieces of material. Fujin is very polite."

Hai Feng sipped the cold tangerine peel and sour plum soup, watching the two people acting in harmony, feeling very comfortable.

The princess and the uncle's wife sang Peking opera for her for free, which is not for nothing.

The secret of Prince Gong and Tong Guowei was inquired by Dobu from the army in his previous life, and he told her as a couple's night talk to relieve her boredom.

Emperor Shunzhi died at the age of 24. At that time, only the eight-year-old Prince Yu Fuquan, Kangxi, and five-year-old Prince Gong Changning were able to succeed him.

Prince Yu was born with a disability in his right eye and was unable to compete for the throne. Kangxi's biological mother, Concubine Tong, was born in the harem of Shunzhi, where Mongolian noble girls gathered, although her background was not conspicuous, but she was not considered inferior.Although her father, Tong Tulai, had passed away for three years at that time, he had also served as the commander of the Han Army's Coated Zhenglan Banner and the Minister of Rites during his lifetime. If you can do it, you can't squeeze into the top-tier dignitaries, at least count as the upper-middle class.

The Tong family was probably greedy for the throne back then, and tried their best to run around in the imperial palace, advocating that Prince Gong's biological mother, Yang's family background, was too humble to be the empress dowager.

Of course, this is true, but it is too hurtful.

I don't know if Xiaozhuang eliminated Prince Gong Haifeng because of Yang's background, but this incident later became an inseparable knot between the Tong family and Prince Gong's family. It is a fact that six years later it even almost caused a delay to the military aircraft.

The ancestors of the Tong family started out as military generals, but perhaps it was because when Tong Tulai died, the eldest son died early, the second son Tong Guogang was just young, and the youngest son Tong Guowei was only 15 years old, so the two brothers were basically ministers in the inner court, and they hadn't been in the army much.

In the 29th year of Kangxi's conquest of Galdan, Prince Yu led General Fuyuan to the left, and Prince Gong led General Anbei to the right to attack the enemy.It is estimated that Kangxi wanted to take the opportunity to give money to his uncle's family, so he let Tong Guogang be a general in the army on the right.

Dobu was also a vanguard in the army on the right at that time. He told Haifeng that although Tong Guogang was in charge of the firearms battalion, he knew little about guns.Prince Gong taunted him, saying that women in the Tong family were better than women, and he was so angry that Tong Guogang, a fifty-year-old man with a high position and authority, was still taking the lead in the battle, and his old bones were almost ruined in the Ulan Butong battlefield.

After that, Tong's family and Prince Gong's family were almost in the same situation, and they never interacted with each other.

As for now, this kind of face-saving etiquette can still be maintained among the female relatives, which can be said to be the last calm before the storm.

After a group of people chatted and laughed in the main hall of Chengqian Palace for a while, the topic naturally slowly shifted to the upcoming trip to Mulan.

The eldest princess smiled at Yan Yan, and picked up a chilled cherry with a silver stick with her white fingertips, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"I have important matters to discuss when I come to see the imperial concubine today, so I only care about idle talk."

"Oh, what's up with the eldest princess, just make up your own mind."

"That's impossible, you are the master of the Sixth Palace. I was thinking about laying off half of the servants around me, and sharing a carriage with my fourth sister, so as to save the cost of a pair of carriages and horses."

Tong Jiayixian, who was weak and weak, was a little drowsy, and immediately woke up a lot after hearing these words.

"Oh, why is that?"

"I also ask the imperial concubine to forgive me. I am just thinking about it. Khan Ama originally meant that the empress dowager rarely goes out and should be handled according to the highest standard; but she firmly disagrees with the ancestor, saying that the south will continue to use troops. The treasury The internal treasury is not rich, so it’s better to save money and buy more cannons in red clothes. My fourth sister and I heard this and wanted to help. It just so happens that she doesn’t have many people around her, so I don’t need it These servants like to be clean. Together, the money saved is limited, but it is also a matter of our hearts."

Of course this was Hai Feng's idea.

Since it is decided to join hands with Prince Gong's family, it is natural to communicate with each other and help each other.

As one of the top leaders of the country, Xiaozhuang is relatively reliable, at least a lot better than a certain queen mother who embezzled military funds to build a garden.

Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous.

In terms of personal enjoyment, she had always hated extravagance and waste.

If she calls Liugong to save money, if the eldest princess and Haifeng respond positively, others will probably follow suit.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

Next year will be 1685 AD. In order to resist the aggression of Tsarist Russia, the Battle of Yaksa will start.

In 1681, San Francisco had just been pacified;

In 1683, the matter in Taiwan was settled;

In 1688, Galdan was about to attack Monan, and Kangxi would counterattack accordingly.

At this moment, the Qing court has cleared almost all the rebellion in the south, and the next focus will be moved to the north.

Under such a situation, how tense is military spending?

In the previous life, when Hai Feng was 12 years old and married to Tuxietu Khan, the three sisters went out of the palace at the same time because they wanted to cover up the scandal of their sisters marrying in place of each other. Curry’s extremely precious calligraphy and paintings, and ordered a few elder brothers who were already self-reliant at the time to contribute to the dowry for the sisters.

Perhaps out of guilt for Haifeng's marriage to Mobei, Kangxi gave her a private house of [-] mu of rouge land in Qinghe, Mongolia.

As the daughter of the Empress Dowager, Princess Shuhui's rouge land in Qingcheng, Chengde is only [-] mu.

This half-agricultural and half-pastoral land is of great help to Hai Feng who has just integrated into life in Mobei.

Because Galdan provoked the war, the original pastures of the Tuxietuhan tribe were forced to become battlefields, and the herdsmen could not sustain their lives.

Haifeng saw the right time to take out this land to accommodate refugees, making the whole tribe look at her differently.

So in the next few years, even though her grandfather Zha Huan Da Khan was dissatisfied with her contraception and failed to have children, he never reprimanded her harshly.

Always have a time and think of no time, don't take no time as a time.

If you wear something simple and shabby, what are you afraid of? Winning the battle is the real thing.

In peaceful times, when the people recuperate, wealth will naturally accumulate slowly, and the national treasury will also be filled accordingly.

At that time, what Hai Feng wants is not only a few bolts of silk, but also a few hairpins. To be honest, [-] mu is not enough.

She wanted [-] acres of fertile land as a dowry.

 Starting today, one update of two thousand words per day will resume.
