Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 570 Set the storm "reward"

There is no dog blood in the world, if it is spilled too much, it will look like dog blood.

Cao Yong looked at the sixteenth elder brother in front of him, but he had a new interpretation of "dog blood" in his mind.

For his "rescue meritorious service", Kangxi has made a decree to raise his title by two ranks.Today, Cao Yong has been promoted from a first-class man to a second-class son.

The salary of the second-class son is 380 taels per year, which is less than a hundred taels more than Cao Yong's previous 310 taels.

In addition, the imperial decree also wrote that Cao Yong would be awarded a thousand taels of gold as a reward for his "loyalty".

Thinking that it was his "death" money, even if Cao Yong was not a stingy person, he couldn't help thinking about it.

Let's talk about the title salary first, even if I can live another 60 years, it will not exceed 500 taels of silver after being promoted two levels.

One tael of gold is ten taels of silver, and one thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver.

I narrowly escaped death and earned 500 taels of silver.Among other things, this time I want to replace all these with small ingots, and put a few under the head of the bed or under the pillow.

It's okay to touch it, and you can have a long memory.

Don't talk about human relationships in a daze, and worry about things, people, you should know your own weight.

Cao Yong looked around the room where he was recuperating, but he didn't see the shadow of the thousand taels of gold.

Brother Sixteen saw it, coughed, and said: "The gold...you have accepted the discount again, and you refused to accept it, and donated it to the Northwest for military pay..."

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

Although I have been awake for many days, why can't I remember when I wrote the paper?
It's already wronged to be stabbed, why would you pretend to be that big clove of garlic?

This "payment" is too showy, and I don't know how many people will hate it.

After all, if this hole is opened, the prince Baylor, civil and military officials will inevitably have to pay for it.

Not everyone is spacious. They dare not complain about the court and Kangxi, so they will naturally blame the "instigator" Cao Yong.

It was really used thoroughly enough. In the name of a "reward", I am afraid that the imperial court will be able to raise an army of [-] or [-].

Cao Yong's heart was a little numb, but in front of sixteen elder brothers and court lady Su Xin, he was not at all unhappy and did not show it.

He nodded and said: "It should be, it's just right."

Elder Sixteen sent Su Xin out, then sat down on the chair opposite Cao Yong, and said with a embarrassed expression: "Fu Ruo, don't be upset, I didn't expect such a big commotion to make you suffer. I am really sorry for committing a serious crime. Huang Ama told me not to tell you, and I dare not speak too clearly in front of Wei Zhu."

Cao Yong had resentment in his heart, but he also put it away, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Master Shiliu was joking, he got credit for nothing, and was promoted to a two-level title. .”

Brother Sixteen wanted to say more, when someone said: "Contentment is always happy, you are so open-minded, you will definitely have a blessing in the future."

It was Kangxi who arrived, Elder Sixteen hurriedly got up, Cao Yong also got up from the bed while stroking his chest, and wanted to bow down
Now, it is already September, Kangxi has changed into thin woolen clothes, and his complexion looks much better than half a month ago.

Seeing that Cao Yong was about to kneel, Kangxi raised his chin to Brother Sixteen and said, "Help him to sit by the kang. No courtesy." The last two words were said to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong resigned firmly, and his body has been helped to the side of the kang by brother sixteen.

Kangxi looked at Cao Yong's sunken eyes because of this illness, waved his hand, and sent Brother Sixteen out.

This is the meat of the show, Cao Yong sighed in his heart, but his face was tight.

At this time, I heard Kangxi say: "I originally wanted to give Qingtian the credit for escorting you as a talisman, but I didn't expect that I committed a big taboo and didn't notify you in advance."

Cao Yong's eyes couldn't help but glanced at Kangxi, but he didn't think so in his heart. Is this a "talisman" or a "life talisman"?
Kangxi was already sitting in the chair where the sixteenth brother sat, rubbed his temples, and said: "The national treasury is lacking, and the internal treasury is also in short supply now, but the Northwest military equipment is urgent...Cao Yong, I need money...you have always I don't like to stand out, and I think I have hidden scruples in my heart, fearing that "a rabbit will die like a dog" and "being hated by others."

It turned out that it wasn't to test his stature's loyalty, but to make himself speculate in gold with the emperor as his backstage.

Cao Yong only felt absurd in his heart, but he still listened submissively on his face.

"I will move tomorrow, you should go back to the capital to recuperate first, and I will hand over the errands of the Ministry of War in advance... After you recover from your injuries, you will be promoted to be the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Help me plan and make some money!" Kangxi's voice carried With a little helplessness: "I didn't want to force you, but the war in the Northwest is pressing now, and no one is waiting. You have a position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you can be regarded as a famous teacher. I will call Brother Sixteen and Seventeen The elder brother and the two help you with the daily chores of the yamen."

"As soon as possible to raise military expenses in the Northwest, you are a hero of the Qing Dynasty. If anyone dares to envy and slander you, I will not forgive you lightly." In the end, Kangxi's face showed determination.

The minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the so-called "Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" as the saying goes.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a third-rank yamen, and the manager is a third-rank civil servant.In addition to being promoted from princes, ministers of the interior, ministers of various courts, and ministers, there were also promotions from Manchu guards and officials of the House of Internal Affairs.

Although Cao Yong is now a doctor of the fifth rank, he has been promoted to the minister of Taipusi from the third rank before.Because of the "mistake" in the errand, he was downgraded three levels in a row, which has a warning effect.

From this point of view, the head of the House of Internal Affairs who has been promoted to the third rank is not too lucky.

Cao Yong is too lazy to think about it, he just wants to go to bed earlier, heal the wound earlier, and get home earlier.

Since Kangxi ordered him to return to Beijing to recuperate his wounds, Cao Yong felt like returning to his heart like a sword.

With this "gift" and "promotion", he is afraid that it will spread to the capital and make his parents, wife and children worry...

On the sixth day of September, Shengjia turned back to Rehe, while Cao Yong took a carriage and returned to Beijing by naturalization from Uliasutai.

Accompanied by him, apart from the long followers of the Cao family and the fifty naturalized Mongol Eight Banners soldiers, Cui Fei, the foreign steward of Prince Jian's residence, was also accompanying him.

At the beginning of the year, after listening to Cao Yong's words, he bought a lot of sheepskins and fox skins out of the mouth. Cui Feiyuan was still a little worried, afraid of reducing his capital.

It's still Yaerjiang who can see it openly. The way is that everyone says that Cao Yong is "good for money", so if you believe it, you won't lose a lot of money.Even if it is squeezed in the hand, if you want to solve it, it is not impossible.

This year, Yaerjiang A also left Beijing with Shengjia, but after arriving in Rehe, he did not follow the grassland, but stayed in Rehe to escape the summer heat.

Cui Fei, on the orders of his master, came here to meet a deputy capital commander from Prince Jian's mansion, and talked about the leather goods in his hand.

But it was just right, the Ministry of War needed to buy sheep robes and fox hats, and all Cui Fei's fur goods were sold to the Ministry of War.

His warehouse outside the mouth is in the process of naturalization.Before going from naturalization to the Northwest Army, the reason is also considered cheap.

Although the Ministry of War has no money, it dare not take advantage of Heshuo Palace.One mile and one away, Cui Fei also made a small fortune for the palace this time.

For Cao Yong, he is more courteous and polite.

When Cao Yong was impatient to talk, he fell asleep in the car; when he wanted to talk, he listened to Cui Fei talk about the situation of various tribes in the grassland.

Both Wei Hei and Zheng Hu felt bad for Cao Yong's injury, and they all gritted their teeth when talking about Zhungeer people.

Cao Jia's gaze was more probing, and when he looked at Cao Yong, he seemed quite disdainful.

Cao Yong couldn't help shouting injustice in his heart, it seems that Cao Jia regarded him as a villain who practiced "bitter tricks".

Originally wanted to justify a few sentences, but there are a lot of ties to it, and it can't be explained clearly in a few sentences, so Cao Yong didn't say much.

The state of mind is also a little detached, and the opinions of others seem to be less important than in the past.

If you want to misunderstand, you can misunderstand. Speaking of it, it is not wrong to think that way.

There is an element of "bitter tricks" in this, but it is just a passive "challenge".

Those young and strong Jungars had different endings. Temur and two other Jungars of the same race were beheaded.

Baikemut was ignorant of Temur's conspiracy, and he and other Jungar people were brought under the leadership of the Eight Banners Mongolian Zuo, and they were also given money, property, and women.

Because of the scruples about Cao Yong's body, the journey was slow and leisurely, and by the time he was naturalized, it had already entered October.

Cao Yong's body was better at this time.

The mansion newspaper here is complete. Shengjia has already returned to Rehe, but he did not rush back to the capital before the first day of October as in previous years.

The Northwest battle report is also like a card, and Cao Yong also roughly read it, but for various reasons, it is also mainly defensive. .

It's nothing more than how to advance into Hami, how to garrison troops everywhere and so on.

After a few days of naturalization, Cao Yong and his party set off again. It took more than 1000 days to reach Beijing after a journey of more than 20 miles.

The capital, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Grand Court Meeting.

Shengjia returned to Changchun Garden on October 21, returned to the palace on October 25, and visited the Hall of Supreme Harmony on October [-].

Standing among the courtiers, Cao Yin watched Wen Wu being promoted and transferred to various officials to thank each other one by one, but he was thinking about his son in his heart.

He found out about his son's injury at the end of September. Although he was worried, he didn't dare to show it at home because he was afraid that his wife would be worried.

After a while, Cao Yin was thinking about whether to send someone to welcome Cao Yong back.

As soon as he got out of the Jinshui Bridge, he saw Cao Yuan jogging over with scorched face, bowed and said, "Master, grandma sent someone to report that my wife is going to give birth..."

"Ah?" Cao Yin's expression was unpredictable, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

But he didn't have the mind to go to the Yamen, Cao Yin told Cao Yuan to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask for leave, but he quickened his pace, arrived at the place where the horses were parked, and yelled at the horses to go back to the mansion.

Besides Chuyu, the mother and daughter of Erfang Zhaojia were also there.

In a few days, Tianhu, the posthumous son of Erfang Cao Shuo, will be full moon.Although it is still in Cao Shuo's filial piety period, it is Tianhu's full moon joy after all, and he always wants the child to show his face in front of relatives.

Mrs. Li has already entered the delivery room prepared in advance, and the maids and women shuttled back and forth carrying hot water.

With his hands behind his back, Cao Yin thought of his eldest son who was still on the road, and thought of his second son who died young, but secretly prayed for another son.

"Ah..." There was a depressing voice in the room, Li Shi was already in pain...

When Cao Yong, who was exhausted all over his body, entered the second gate and passed by Lanyuan to greet his mother, he heard the joyful voice of his mother-in-law from the upper room: "Congratulations, Mr. Cao, your wife has given birth to a little son, and both mother and child are safe." ...He was born with a different appearance, so he must be a great nobleman..."
