starling is not a bird

Kangxi asked the eighth elder brother to stop the affairs of the household department first, and temporarily followed Prince Yu to investigate the plight of the eight banner children in the capital, and wrote a note to see how to deal with it.The eighth elder brother thought that the matter at hand was almost settled, and if he continued to work in the household department, he was afraid that he would offend others, so he just took this opportunity to jump out, and instead ruined his reputation.

Prince Yu is also a capable person, and the eight elder brothers have long been aware of the plight of the eight banners in the capital, but within a few days, they have found out the details. They have made great contributions, but since Huang Ama gave up the enclosure and persuaded farmers to ask Sang, they lost their way.

However, after one or two generations, it was defeated. The eighth elder brother knew in his heart that when it comes to management, the Manchus are not as cunning as the Han people. Next slightly.

I made a statement with Prince Yu without mentioning anything else. I just summarized the situation. There are more than [-] soldiers in the Eight Banners without houses in the capital area. The inequality of wealth within the Eight Banners is even more terrifying. Many soldiers Falling into the net of usury, more than half of the monthly salary has to pay interest on the loan, so that adults are not allowed to marry a wife, and there is no burial place after death.As for the servants of the Eight Banners with lower status, most of them were in a more miserable situation. Many children of the Eight Banners died of hunger.

Emperor Kangxi took the booklet in his hand and carefully flipped it over and over again. The affairs of the Eight Banners were related to the country, and he never ignored them. Once again, the imperial court took good care of the Eight Banners children in many ways, but since ancient times, they have changed from frugality to extravagance, but they have only lived comfortably for a few decades, and they are like this.

It is also easy to govern, but after that, no one can use the court to fight wars. Although the Han people surrender now, there is no guarantee that the Han people will rise up again to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Han Dynasty!

After thinking about it, he ordered the servant in charge of the pen to pass the scriptures to all elder brothers to have a look. Kangxi also wanted to test whether his sons had such brains.

In a few days, the elder brothers came up with a solution. The elder brother proposed to build [-] houses for each banner outside the city according to the direction of the banners. Soldiers without houses will be given two public houses for each soldier, and trading is not allowed. , After the soldiers died, they were not redistributed by the officials.

The crown prince suggested raising the monthly salary of Manchurian armored soldiers, merging Yu Ding, and setting up a new assistant leader, so that idle bannermen can wear armor to serve as errands, and solve the problems of deceased soldiers' burial places and poor soldiers' wives and housing.

The third elder brother suggested that in case of a famine, the soldiers of the Eight Banners should be graciously given to help the poor, and that it would be more generous, so that the children of the Eight Banners would be given more subsidies for going to war; Temporary subsidies; additional garrisons to ease the livelihood tension of the Eight Banners in the capital area; at the same time, dispatch clerks in the banner to teach the banner staff and resist profiteers.

But only a meager memorial on the eighth elder brother opened Kangxi's eyes. Originally, the building of the house and the distribution of money were all expected by Kangxi.However, Ba Age made one more point. In order to prevent the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners from selling the grain given by the court for a meager profit, the Ministry of Households should be allowed to pay by mouth, and the rest should be paid to the silver at the current price.

Kangxi never thought that this young son would have such foresight, and chewed those few words over and over again for a long time. Could it be that his family has practiced them all together?

Brother Nine is very good at doing business. I remember that Yushi mentioned that a profitable business has gone viral. The concubine Yi in the palace has received a lot of filial piety. Even the queen mother and her family have left a lot of good things here. .

Elder Brother Shi's master Wu also lifted him up to the sky. It seems that his family is indeed an eternal sage. Not only is he amazing, but his sons are also all amazing. A hundred years later, the crown prince became a country and got such a capable left and right hand. It really took tens of thousands of years for the country of the Qing Dynasty!

Let the academician draw up the decree, and the Ministry of Households will distribute money to resettle the children of the Eight Banners. Here, Kangxi thought of Concubine Wei who had been neglected for a long time. His son is so capable, and his mother and concubine must not lose face in the palace.Concubine Hui received many rewards from Concubine Wei and concubine Wei, especially Concubine Hui. Kangxi went to her place and praised the elder brother for his filial piety and willingness to teach his siblings. Several palace officials went to serve Da Fujin.

Although the eighth elder brother is not his own son, he has been raising him for a few years, and now he has won the emperor's auspicious words. He is so happy that the concubine Hui has nothing to do. Still picked a few court ladies to serve the unmarried eighth elder brother, so it is natural for a mother and concubine to be considerate in everything!

When it was time for fasting in the middle of the month, Concubine Hui called Concubine Wei and Noble Mi, and they were all well. Naturally, they had to go out for a walk, so why stay in the courtyard?Concubine Tong was already a head shorter than Concubine Hui when it came to her qualifications, and the emperor had hinted at it both explicitly and secretly, so she had no choice but to lower her head and swallow the mouthful of blood that was constricting her chest.

On the morning of the next day, Kangxi named Li Guangdi, the envoy in charge, by name. Although he didn't intend to give him a promotion, he encouraged him a lot. His words were full of expectations. Li Guangdi knelt on the ground and thanked Li Guangdi without saying much. .In the book the day before yesterday, I boasted the eighth elder brother's prowess to the sky, but I didn't dare to take credit for it, and by the way, I wanted to protect myself from disaster.I heard Kangxi say in my ear again: "It's just my old courtier, take care, my son will still need you in the future!"

Li Guangdi's heart was agitated. Hearing what the emperor said, he still has a chance to make achievements?Come out in a hurry and kowtow heavily.

Prince Yu also received a reward from Kangxi, but Kangxi didn't mention Eighth Prince's credit at all. You know, Prince Yu spent a lot of space praising his little nephew's ability.It's just that the heart of an emperor is unfathomable to ordinary people. Even if you are the emperor's brother, it's better to live in peace.

In the evening, holding the docile Concubine Wei in his arms, Kangxi looked at the twig lotus on the bed curtain, and still felt uncomfortable when he had something to say, and he didn't care whether Concubine Wei was sleeping or waking up, so he said softly: " Our youngest son is really uplifting, he didn't embarrass me, but I didn't reward him, you are the daughter of a criminal minister, if you are too ostentatious, people with evil intentions will be more willing to deal with you. I can be regarded as eternal I have become an emperor, but in this world, it is not true that being an emperor is a good word. Take your time, I still have a lot of years, and my son will definitely be in his early years. When the time comes, let his second brother make him a prince. You will follow him in the future , and have a few years of comfortable life, how good do you think?"

Concubine Wei in Kangxi's arms was motionless, as if she had fallen asleep, Kangxi didn't say anything, hugged the person in his arms tighter, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Kuixu Chuchu became a Hanlin, and he was full of heart to serve the mighty emperor, thinking of his father who was deposed, and his elder brother who died young, he knew that the Nalan family could only rely on himself now.So work hard every day, for fear of falling behind.

Speaking of which, Kui Xu is also a child of a family with good background and upbringing. He has a talented Ama and a literary brother. Kui Xu naturally has a kind and gentle demeanor. The Hanchens are willing to get close to him.

The affairs of the Hanlin Academy are noble, and they usually have a lot of leisure time. There are also people who invite them to read poems and papers, and have banquets.He didn't return home until the rest period to pay his respects to his father, Mingzhu. Although the father and son were officials in the same dynasty, the taste of both father and son having come into contact with power is still different after all.

The father and son talked about their confidantes, and Mingzhu urged his son to bring a gift to the palace to visit the elder brother. Kui Xu was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Ama made a mistake? He is obviously the son recommended by the eighth elder brother , why do you want to pay a visit to elder brother?” Mingzhu looked at her silly son and said, “If your elder brother survives, Ahma will definitely not let you become an official in the court. It’s safer to keep an idiot like you by Ahma’s side.” !"

Kui Xu was very unconvinced when he heard the words, he did not have his elder brother Wentao Wulue, but he was not as stupid as Ama said, right?

Mingzhu sighed: "Think about it, the eighth elder brother is just a teenage child, and his mother's status is low. It doesn't matter whether he will have the title of county king in the future. Why does he have nothing to show you? It’s not easy for elder brother to come forward to help his mother’s family, so he pretended to ask eighth elder brother to help, be a man, I’d rather hit the big bell once than beat the drum for three thousand!”

After listening to Kui Xu, it turned out to be like this. It was really his fault. The big brother worked so hard to plan for him, but he didn't appreciate it. He really couldn't justify it. He rubbed his head and smiled naively: "Then Ama , when I enter the palace, I will only pay my respects to Eldest Brother, do you want to stop by and see Eighth Elder Brother?"

Mingzhu looked at her son with a half-smile and said: "Look at what he is doing. What about the emperor's twenty or so sons? Can you see it? When the time comes, the censor will refer to our book again. Are you afraid that Ama will be too happy?" ?”

Kui Xu still felt something was wrong in his heart, but Ama must have his reasons for being in the wind and rain for so many years, so he bowed his head and agreed. In other words, the eighth elder brother has been busy these few days. Although doing things with Prince Yu is smooth, However, Prince Yu was not careful enough in the details, and he had to remind her not to show any traces, it was really a laborious job.It’s so easy that the work is over, and the eighth elder brother has also finished the book, just waiting to harvest the fruit, but after waiting, the emperor’s uncle was rewarded, Li Guangdi was rewarded, the crown prince’s elder brother and the third elder brother were all rewarded, only myself I didn't get anything here, so it's not that I'm not depressed. Fortunately, the eighth elder brother was used to the indifference of his Huang Ama in his previous life.

But another thing worried him. I remember that after Kui Xu entered the Imperial Academy, he made a lot of achievements, but he went too early. Maybe it was because of Mingzhu. Back then, when the elder brother was imprisoned, Mingzhu really ate it. Hang Luo, who has been suppressed by Suo Etu and can't turn over, now they still have to keep them away from party struggles, they are all capable ministers, why bother to be involved?

In the past few days, I heard the younger brothers whispering in their ears, saying that Kui Xu and the eldest brother are very close, and the eighth elder brother is not worried. For the sake of it, he was given to death a long time ago, and the big battle is imminent. If Huang Ama doesn't touch the elder brother, is it possible that he can't touch a bright pearl?

The eighth elder brother will definitely not admit the loss in his heart. He is obviously recommended by himself, so why did he take refuge in the eldest elder brother?Even in the previous life, Kui Xu was the elder brother who he attached to first, and then he was loyal to himself, but this time he saved his life and recommended him to the Imperial Academy, how could he be so ruthless?

It wasn't until the eighth elder brother returned to his yard and saw his two princesses with smirks on their faces leading several strange court ladies kneeling in the vestibule to welcome him, that he had a little idea.

Concubine Hui's picky eyes are nothing to say, the ladies in the palace are all beautiful girls who are freshly squeezed out of the water, if there is no smile on the faces of the two Ge Ge, the eighth elder brother will find it more pleasing to the eye.

The newcomer is facing the old one in front of him, but the eighth brother feels that whatever expression he chooses will offend the beauty. When he was in trouble, the old ten rushed in bluffing: "Mynah, come here, fourth brother is crazy, holding a whip The whole yard wants to smoke Brother Nine!"

Brother Eight was taken aback, what's going on?

When he got to the yard, there was already a lot of trouble there. The ninth elder brother was on the plane tree in the yard, holding the branches and refused to come down, and the fourth elder brother sneered below with a whip.

This battle is too big, and the eighth elder brother looked back at the old ten: "Count the heads and control them all, and don't let those who are blind to report to the outside world!" The old ten nodded: "Take care of it early, if you want Otherwise, how could I find you by myself!"
