Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1064 Gifting a Slave

Cao Yong asked again, but the person under the quilt didn't answer, but moved the quilt while shaking, which seemed to be a living thing.

Cao Yong was annoyed now, turned around and opened the door, raised his voice, "Jing Zhe, get out of here!"

Hearing his voice, the servant Jing Zhe came out of the room with flickering eyes, his face full of pain.

Although he is not very old, he has been with Cao Yong for the past few years, and he knows that his eyebrows are high and his eyes are low.

Seeing his strange expression, Cao Yong couldn't guess what went wrong for a moment, so he stared at him without opening his mouth to ask questions.But Jing Zhe couldn't take it anymore, bent his legs, knelt down in front of Cao Yong, and said in a crying voice: "Master, I really don't want to be a villain..."

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and listened to him continue, but he was interrupted: "It's boring, I haven't seen you in half a year, Cao Yong, you are still so puzzled!"

Cao Yong followed the voice and looked, and saw the seventeenth elder brother appearing at the door of the wing room, and then walked over with a smile.

"Master Seventeen!" Cao Yong was somewhat pleasantly surprised: "Why did you come to the Northwest?"

Brother Seventeen looked much lighter than when he left Beijing, and his complexion was darker, but his eyes were hale and hearty, but he seemed more energetic than before.

"The imperial court adjusts the salary from Yunnan. I just finished taking care of the errands over there, so I came over to join in the fun." Elder Seventeen laughed and said, "I was afraid that the northwest would be deserted, but I didn't expect you to be here, or else I was afraid that you would be here." There's no one to speak to."

Seeing that he was wearing a cloak, Cao Yong couldn't hide his chills, so he hurriedly let him into the room to talk.

Brother Seventeen was not in a hurry to sit down, he glanced at the quilt on the kang, looked at Cao Yong with a thief and smiled.

Cao Yong can't laugh or cry, the one who can let Jing Zhe open the door in private should be Elder Seventeen.

"Master Seventeen, for the sake of the minister's hardship, we shouldn't add fuel to the flames. If it gets to the ears of the censor, it will be another lawsuit." The two are familiar with each other, and Cao Yong is not long-winded. , shook his head, and said bluntly.

Brother Seventeen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "I just sent you two young men, so it's still the other person's turn to talk?"

Hearing his voice, the person under the quilt finally revealed his head, still a pair.

It's just a pair of twin brothers who are about ten years old and look as handsome as a little girl.

The two of them had turned over and got off the kang, and they stood on the edge of the kang obediently and obediently, waiting for orders.

Cao Yong glanced at it, but felt that something was wrong, turned back to Elder Seventeen and said, "Aren't you from the Qing Dynasty?"

The eyebrows of the twin brothers are as high as ordinary people, and the eye sockets are relatively sunken, as if they were of mixed race.The hair is not shaved like the Qing Dynasty, but full hair.

Elder Seventeen nodded, and said: "It's a slave from Nanyang. When I visited the Guangdong Customs, the people there were filial. Although I didn't like this, I couldn't bear it for a while, so I accepted it." At this point , He called the twin brothers to come forward and said: "This is Master Cao, your new master. From now on, Master Cao has the final say on your life and death."

The two younger brothers can understand Chinese. It seems that before they were sent to the seventeenth elder brother, they were also trained. I have seen the master."

When Cao Yong saw Elder Seventeen forcing him to send the servant away, he just wanted to decline politely, Elder Seventeen waved his hand and sent Jingzhe Guangsheng and his brothers to settle down.

When Cao Yong saw this, he was a little puzzled, and said: "The Seventeenth Lord's palace has almost been built. When the Seventeenth Lord returns to Beijing, he will be able to leave the palace and go to the mansion. Why do you need to send people to me?"

He thought that Elder Seventeen's move was because he did not let him go and brought him back to the palace.

Even though the two brothers are slaves, they are still human beings, after all, they are much better than being eunuchs after being cut with a knife.

Elder Seventeen waved his hand and said, "It's not for storage, it's for sending you off. Don't cry poorly with me, you boy, but you are just two children. They can't eat a few bowls of rice for you! These two children are good and can read and write. , can also draw a bow, and being a servant by Tianyou or Hang Seng is enough."

Cao Yong listened to his tone, he was quite protective of this brother Guangsheng, he was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Elder Seventeen more.

Brother Seventeen saw him like this, snorted coldly, and said, "What are you thinking? Is that kind of person?"

Cao Yong said with a smile: "I say yes, but after half a year's work, the Seventeenth Lord has changed the direction of the wind?"

He joked like this, but he didn't believe it in his heart.Based on his understanding of Elder Shi Qi, even if Shi Qi does not reject male sex, he will not attack two teenagers.

Elder Seventeen let him make jokes, but he wasn't annoyed, and said casually: "Zheng Hu said that you gave an errand, and you didn't go to the northwest with your master on the return trip, but went to Jiangning by detour."

Cao Yong nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

Brother Seventeen took a long breath, hesitated for a while, and then said to Cao Yong: "Furuo, you have always been well-informed, and you also admire Western medicine... Then tell me, is there anything that can't be cured by Western medicine? How to get pregnant? I was in Guangzhou and saw several Western doctors, but I didn’t know the right one, so I just said it was impossible.”

Of course, Cao Yong still remembers clearly that in his previous life, he had a cousin who had no children for many years, and finally had tubal surgery to get pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.

But he is not a medical student after all, and he is not familiar with the history of gynecological surgery, so he doesn't know if there is any gynecological surgery at this time.

Besides, Elder Seventeen and Seventeen Fujin have no children so far, it's really hard to say whose fault it is.

"The western doctors I've seen are those two that are enshrined in the Imperial Hospital. How can I know the others?" Cao Yong said.

Brother Seventeen sneered twice, and said, "That's right, I was confused."

Seeing his loneliness, Cao Yong's heart moved, and he said, "Brother Guangsheng's bow and arrow were taught by the Seventeenth Lord?"

Elder Seventeen coughed, raised his head to look at Fang Liang and said, "Why, can't you look down on me? When I was in the study, my homework was not too bad."

At this point, Cao Yong finally understood the reason why the seventeenth elder brother wanted to give away the twins even though he was indifferent to them.

It seems that he is afraid that his affection for the child will be exposed, which will make Seventeen Fujin sad.

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, and asked about Brother Seventeen's experience in the past six months.

Speaking of these, Elder Seventeen was beaming with joy, and the originally depressing atmosphere eased a lot.

At the end, Elder Seventeen raised his eyebrows and said: "By the way, I brought you some good things." Then he took out a flat wooden box from his cuff.

He opened the wooden box, and there were two paper bags inside.

He opened the paper bag one by one and placed it in front of Cao Yong.

It was raw opium, one pack was brownish in color, and the other was darker in color.

Although Cao Yong didn't eat opium, he had seen it several times, he hesitated, pointed to the black bag and said, "Is this grown in Yunnan?"

"Exactly." Elder Seventeen nodded with a smile and said, "When I was in Kunming, I visited several doctors in pharmacies, and they said that the strength was no worse than those from Western countries. Many boxes have been made this season, and half of them shipped When we return to the capital, half of them will be shipped to Guangzhou. As long as the emperor gives his order, this box of soil smoke ointment can be turned into gold and silver."

Cao Yong listened, some stunned.

If it is true that opium export is used to counteract the opium dumping of foreigners, what method will foreigners change to reverse the dialogue and trade deficit?

Will this idea I brought up cause a greater disaster and harm the Chinese people?
The seventeenth elder brother was proud of himself. Seeing that Cao Yong was silent, he said: "Why don't you speak, because you are worried that the smoke will flow in and cause harm to the people? Don't worry, the emperor is the king of a country. He is more worried about this than you. He will issue a strict code to prohibit that. Outlaws who sell for profit."

Cao Yong smiled, didn't say much, and asked about Li Wei's recent situation.

Li Wei is proud of his scenery. Although his grade is not high, he is on a errand according to the order.Not only did I do my job well, but I will collect the whole year's salt tax in more than half a year, and the trial planting of soil tobacco has also been properly managed.

"Then Li Wei, he is a late bloomer, and he is about to emerge. Furuo, if you are an old friend with him, you should keep in touch with him in the future, maybe it will be useful at some point." Elder Seventeen said.

The seventeenth elder brother came from afar, and Cao Yong had no choice but to set up a banquet to clean up the dust.

Ganzhou Civilian Yamen is dominated by Ganzhou Governor's Mansion, while military officer's Yamen is Gansu Admiral's Mansion.

When the two places learned that the seventeenth elder brother had arrived, they all dressed up in high-level clothes and brought their officials to pay their respects.

It interrupted Cao Yong's welcome banquet, the seventeenth elder brother declined the kindness of the admiral of Gansu to ask him to move, and lived next to Cao Yong, staying in the magistrate's office in Ganzhou.

A few days later, Bei Le Yanxin, the general of Fuyuan who had just left office, returned to Ganzhou from Xining.

Although he dismissed General Fuyuan and handed over the seal to Nian Gengyao, the imperial court appointed him as General of Reconciliation and ordered him to return to Ganzhou to station and command the remaining troops in Ganzhou.

Yanxin is the great-grandson of Emperor Taizong, the grandson of Prince Suwu, and the same generation as the seventeenth elder brother.He is over 50 years old and has a strong build. As early as the 57th year of Kangxi when the imperial court sent troops, he went to the northwest with the army.

After the fourteenth elder brother and Naersu returned to Beijing one after another, he took over the seal and appointed General Yuan.

Yongzheng also gave him constant favors. First, he was allowed to take over his brother's duke title, and the two duke titles were also his son;

Prince Su's grandson, Yanxin was in the limelight for a while, and he was approaching the palace of Prince Su, the eldest son.

I don't know if he was really satisfied or if he was scheming, but after Yanxin returned to Ganzhou, he didn't complain about being left idle before the war.In Xining, no matter the important person or the horse, Yanxin would readily agree.

He is also very humble in dealing with others, even though his age is double that of Seventeenth Brother, and his title is at the same level as Seventeenth Brother, and he can get along with Seventeenth Brother, but he invites Seventeenth Brother to take the seat.

For Cao Yong, a foreign minister of the niece and son-in-law, he is not arrogant, and his attitude is remarkable.

So attentive, but let Shiqi elder brother and Cao Yong see something wrong.

"This Yanxin has self-knowledge, he knows he won't be able to jump for two days!" When there was no one around, Elder Seventeen said to Cao Yong like this.

Cao Yong nodded, now that Gengyao has justifiably taken over military affairs in the Northwest, how can he let go?When Qinghai is pacified, his prestige in the army will be almost established, and there will be no room for extending his trust in the northwest.

Regardless of whether Yan Xin is a brave general or not, after several years in charge of the Northwest Army's three-point military power and the appointment of a general, returning to Beijing for support is his only way out...
