The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

Yinzhen didn't want Concubine De to suffer, but Concubine De had her own ideas. After Yinzhen left, she asked people to clean up some unused jewelry, porcelain, cloth, etc.These things are not marked, and all concubines can use them.

She took these things to several concubines in the palace who were rich and not as high as her.I don't know what she said to someone, but when she came out, the things at hand were gone.Look at the palace man behind him, holding a small box in his hand.

Concubine De didn't hide anything from anyone. Although those concubines said they benefited, they didn't mean to help conceal it. Instead, they told it as a joke to others.

Before it was dark, rumors spread throughout the harem: Concubine De was poor and started selling jewelry and utensils.

This matter naturally spread to the emperor, but today he agreed to go to Concubine Tong Gui, and not to slap Concubine Tong Gui in the face because of Concubine De.He just wanted to go to Concubine De's place tomorrow to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Concubine Yi, like Concubine De, also began to sell jewelry.Only then did Kangxi realize something was wrong.

"My concubine, what are you?" Did he treat his concubine so badly that he needed to sell his jewelry to make a living?

Concubine De smiled and said nothing, Concubine Yi opened her mouth without any scruples: "It's not Yinzhen. Yesterday he entered the palace and complained to his concubine, saying that he finally wanted to do something serious to make his concubine look good, but the treasury took out money Build him a boat. He said he was trying to find a way to sell property with Fourteen and Old Ten to raise money."

"Your Majesty, you also know that Yinzhen grew up beside his concubine, and the concubine couldn't bear him to suffer a little bit. Dong E's family in his house is still pregnant, and the family property has been sold. What about Dong E's? The concubine has a role in the palace, so she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so she just wanted to pack up the extra jewelry and utensils, and see which sister needs them."

"The concubine will give the younger sisters a discount, and the money will be sent to Yinzhen when the time comes. I just want to give some to the concubine, so that he can sell less family property and live a better life. The concubine thinks that the concubine's sister and concubine are the same .”

Concubine De still smiled and did not speak, and everyone understood what that meant.

Kangxi's face was unhappy, he was not looking at Concubine De and Concubine Yi, but he was thinking about those ministers who owed money.

Are they really out of money?

No, most of the families are rich, and some people even have more property than the treasury.

But those people just don't pay back the money.

Now that his sons want to do something, they have to find ways to sell their property to collect money. He feels ashamed as Khan Ama.

For the first time, he escaped from the concubine.

After he escaped, Concubine De and Concubine Yi looked at each other and smiled: Yes, let you save face and pamper them.

Back in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Kangxi couldn't calm down to read the scriptures, he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly shouted: "Li Dequan, Li Dequan."

"The servant is here." Just now the emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to enter, and he was standing at the gate of the hall waiting for the order.

Looking at Li Dequan with a low eyebrow, Kangxi opened his mouth, "Forget it, you go down first." Seeing Li Dequan retreating, he stopped the person again, "Come back, so you can send someone to see your ninth master, What are the tenth and fourteenth masters doing? Don't bother them, just take a look and come back."

I hope that the concubine de and concubine lied to him, and the old nine brothers haven't started to sell the property yet.But he also knew that neither of them was good at lying. Since they said it, there were eight or nine out of ten that the three brothers were going to do it.

Having been by the emperor's side for many years, Li Dequan understood what the emperor meant, so he didn't say much, and turned around and found two clever little eunuchs to handle this matter.

The emperor ordered, and the work was naturally done very quickly. When the little eunuchs came back, their faces were still covered with sweat.Whispering something in Li Dequan's ear, Li Dequan raised his eyebrows: Oh my dear.

He didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned around and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but when he got there, he really didn't know how to say this.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

Looking at Li Dequan's appearance, I had a bad feeling in my heart, but Kangxi still wanted to hear him talk.

"Back to the emperor, the three elder brothers, the three elder brothers are selling things." Xiao Pingzi saw with his own eyes that the three emperor elder brothers set up a stall in front of Jiu elder brother's house and started selling things.Xiaopingzi may not know other things, but he does know the blood coral that was married to Fourteen Fujin.

When he went, he saw brother Jiu holding blood corals and preparing to sell them.

Blood coral?Kangxi gritted his teeth, "Can he see if someone bought it?" He knew the blood coral that was the dowry of the Fourteen Family, not to mention priceless, there was 10 taels of silver.Lao Jiu has the most imperial relatives and relatives, and is also the one who borrows the most money from the treasury.On weekdays, they hinted that they would return the silver owed to the treasury, and everyone said they had no money. How can they have money to buy blood coral now?

"I bought it, I bought it. In the end, the blood coral was sold for 15 taels, and it was bought by Prince An's Mansion." After saying this, Li Dequan lowered his head and quietly retreated into the corner.

Prince An's Mansion, and Prince An's Mansion, he remembered that Prince An's Mansion had taken no less than one million taels of silver from the treasury.

Back then, Prince An's mansion made a lot of contributions in the past three times, and the old Prince An even helped him ward off plots.The death of the old Prince An was also related to this incident, so he did not lower his title and let Mal attack the prince.

The old Prince An died after saving him, and he won the gold medal for avoiding death from the former emperor, so Prince An's mansion became more and more arrogant.

He kicked over the imperial case bitterly, "Prince An's mansion is really rich." He knew how the blood coral of the Fourteen Fujin got here, one of them was won from Lao Jiu, and the other pot was given to him by his ancestors. The ancestors of the Yan family.The origin of the two pots of blood coral is clear.

Li Dequan didn't dare to speak, because he didn't say a word just now, Prince An's son got the blood coral and sent someone to Ba Age's mansion.

"Go and deliver the decree to let the fourth, ninth, tenth, and fourteenths enter the palace, and let the fourteenth return the silver to Prince An's mansion. Just say my will, and the blood coral will not be sold."

No matter what the fourteen people sold off Fujin's dowry for what they said, they would lose face to the royal family.Fortunately for Lao Jiu, the three of them didn't talk about sneaking about such a shameful thing, but made a big show of it, wishing the whole world knew about it.

The more I think about Kangxi, the angrier I get.He was furious at old Lai Lai like Prince An who obviously had money but refused to return it, and at the same time he was angry at Lao Jiu and the three of them for embarrassing him.

The four elder brothers probably only the fourth elder brother did not know why the emperor summoned him.After doing this important matter, Lao Jiu didn't have any fear at all, and he was actually in the mood to hook up with Shisi.

Who would have thought that the seller's property was just a strategy they came up with?Lao Jiu is very stingy, and he knows in his heart that if they can go overseas, even if they pay for the shipbuilding themselves, Khan Ama will definitely share half of the benefits.That being the case, why should they contribute their own funds? The money should be paid by Khan Ama.

Yesterday he entered the palace on the [-]th and he also entered the palace. One of them went to test the attitude of the emperor, and the other went to discuss this matter with his mother-in-law.

Therefore, after Concubine De sold her jewelry, Concubine Yi could follow up so quickly.

The three elder brothers each took a treasure worth more than 10 taels. Before that, Yinzhen even had people beat gongs and drums to publicize it on several streets of the clan.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Yinzhen and others were summoned by the emperor, and they had already thought of countermeasures.Originally, they were not sure that they would succeed, but the moment they saw the fourth child, they knew their plan was successful.

Seeing the smiling faces of Lao Jiu and the others, Kangxi scolded angrily: "Bastards, you three are really promising? How dare you sell Fujin's dowry in public. You three are relying on your father-in-law's absence from the capital and no one can support Fujin." , can heal you?"

These few are the pillars of the country, especially Mangka, the girl who is loved by others, marrying into the royal family is so ruined.It's also fortunate that he is the emperor, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been pinned to the ground and beaten up long ago.

The more I think about it, the more Kangxi's face hurts, the more unpleasant it is to see the three elder brothers, especially Fourteen.Mangka used credit for his daughter's failure in the election, and he also promised Mangka that the 14 people were good, and he would not wrong his daughter.

"The three of you will go and make amends to your Fujin natal family later."

The tenth elder brother raised his head, his face full of disbelief, Khan Ama didn't mean to embarrass him, the ninth brother and the fourteenth brother can say, there are still some people in Fujin's family in the capital, and everyone in his Fujin's family is in Mongolia, let alone gradually entering The winter road is not easy to walk, even if the road is easy to walk, it will take more than a month to go back and forth.

He is going to Mongolia right now, and he has no idea whether he can come back in March next year.He was worried about leaving Fujin with a big belly in the mansion. "Can Ama's son wait for Fujin to give birth before going?"

Pointing at the three brothers, "I'm so confused by your anger."

Fourteen and Ninth Brother secretly exchanged glances, and Fourteen stood up and said, "Han Ama, my son also knows that something is wrong with today's matter, but Han Ama, my son asked Fourth Brother about it, and the reason why he agreed Borrowing money from the treasury is a kind of honor for those who are in trouble, and it is for them to protect their families and the country without any worries."

"But look now, Prince An's Mansion took out 10 taels of silver without blinking an eye. Do you think it's difficult for their family?" Before Kangxi could answer, he said, "Anyone can see this. I understand, there must be more than one 10 taels in his family, otherwise who would be willing?"

"Now the question is, where did they get the money? They wouldn't be asking Fujin like their son and Brother Ninth, right?" These words were extremely ironic.

The prince Fujin is carefully selected, that is a big family business, how can your clan prince Fujin have more dowry than the prince Fujin?For 10 taels of silver, the prince Fujin still needs to sell his dowry to get it together, but your clan prince Fujin can give it out without blinking an eye.

Hehe, if you say there is nothing tricky in it, who would believe it?

As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Yinzhen stood up, "The fourteenth brother is right, you don't know, Khan Ama, the sons only brought out four or five things, but there are many people who come to buy them, and they open their mouths for 10 yuan." It's not just Prince An's family who have two silver coins."

"There's one that you can't think of," he squinted at the fourth elder brother, with sympathy in his eyes. "His Royal Highness's milk brother Ling Pu Ling, he is willing to pay 50 taels of silver to buy a painting in his son's hands." Yinzhen has an authentic painting "Beauty Picture" by Tang Bohu in his hand. He originally planned to use this painting next year. It was presented on the emperor's birthday.

Not only did Ling Pu hear the news from where, but he also found out that he was selling things, so he came to the door.

50 taels, Yinzhen doesn't even have that much money.

Where did Ling Pu, a small head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, get his money?Who did he get all these things for?

The answer is self-evident.

"That's right, Khan Ama, my sons know that you also want to support our oceans, and you also want to let the people live a good life. During this time, the sons have not been idle. Ever since they knew that the treasury owed money, the sons Undercover investigation found."

"Of those who have borrowed money from the treasury, 10% of them are very rich, and some of them are even richer than their sons, and they can easily come up with several [-] taels of silver. Only less than [-]% of them really have no money. They are very poor. Eighty percent of them had difficulties when borrowing money, but most of them did so to follow suit."

"It seems that if the money is not borrowed, others will do something to them."

"But look, have they returned the money?"

"My family is well-clothed and well-fed, and I haven't seen anyone who wants to take the initiative to return the treasury money. If you don't believe me, you can ask the fourth brother, the fourth brother knows this matter better than us."

Speaking of this matter, Fourteen was also angry, if it wasn't for the treasury having no money to build a mansion for him, he wouldn't have dragged Fujin to give birth and still live in the palace.It will not be framed by some villains overtly and secretly.

Kangxi turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother. Although the fourth elder brother didn't know what was going on with his younger brothers, he did know the treasury money matter best.

"Huihan Ama, what the fourteenth brother said is basically the truth. Since Erchen took over the household department, I have encountered people who took the initiative to repay the debt, but those people paid back the money first, and then lent it out later than before. A larger amount. The higher the official position and the more distinguished the position, the more money you can borrow.”

"Like what the fourteenth brother just said, Prince An's mansion borrowed 500 million taels back and forth. The first eighth brother took side Fujin, and Prince An's son came to ask his son and minister to get money. You told me before that the treasury's money can't be paid. The minister did not agree, and Prince An's son still has opinions on his son."

As expected, the fourth elder brother used words so well, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Yinzhen would have applauded him.

How much is 500 million taels in Prince An's Mansion?There was another one more than Prince An's Mansion, he didn't dare to say.In what year does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not withdraw silver from the treasury, at least two or three hundred thousand taels at a time.After so many years, the prince alone owes the treasury tens of millions of taels of silver.

The ninth brother mentioned that Ling Pu owed a lot of silver, as high as one million taels.There are more than a dozen families who owe millions of taels of silver like this.

Yinzhen exploded, and immediately yelled, "Ama, you heard that, how much is a dozen households, one million taels per person? If one of them pays back the money, my son will not sell Fujin's dowry. Ahma Khan, you are really shameless when you are your son."

That's right, he was really shameless, for the sake of money and to go overseas, Yinzhen also went all out, pulling Kangxi's dragon robe and crying.

"Khan Ama, my son is willing to bear this bad reputation and go to ask for the debt in person." Elder Fourteen also knelt down.

Asking for bills is not a good job, just look at the fourth brother. Not to mention those people finding various reasons for not paying back, the fourth brother also got a cold-blooded reputation because of this.

But for Shisi, this was a good opportunity. He had offended these ministers by going to collect the bill in person.If he had a bad relationship with the ministers, the words of forming a party for personal gain would not fall on him.

Only when he is clean himself can he have a more important position in Khan Ama's heart.

Yinzhen also knelt down, "My son is also willing to go."

"There is also a son," Elder Brother Ten follows the crowd, and he will do whatever Brother Ninth does.Oh, and now I have to add a fourteenth brother. If the ninth brother is not around, he will follow the fourteenth brother. Anyway, these two are smarter than him.

Kangxi knocked on the imperial case. He only knew that someone borrowed money from the treasury, but he didn't know that they owed so much money.Think about the daily actions of those ministers. Is this eating and drinking with his money?

Look at the three of Yinzhen again, in order to benefit him and Daqing, they were forced to sell Fujin's dowry.

Tolerable or unbearable.

"Fourth, I order you to sort out the specific debtors and the amount of debts within three days. Also, ask the people from the household department to give the group of ministers a message and ask them to pay back the money." I want to see if what the emperor said counts, and if someone will take the initiative to hand over the money owed.

Looking at the other three sons who were about to speak, Kangxi raised his hand, "As for the three of you, if they return the silver on time, I will allow you to use a million taels of silver to build a ship. I said the ugly words first, and I will give you the money. If the three of you can't make achievements, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between father and son."

The three of them knelt down and said in unison: "Don't worry, Ama Khan, my son will live up to Ama Khan's expectations. My son is willing to work hard for the Qing Dynasty." Seeing that the money was about to be obtained, the three were very happy.

Kangxi shook his head, thinking that he was really a child, so he was happy.

Then he went on to say: "If those people still pretend to be deaf and dumb and refuse to return the money, the three of you will follow your fourth brother to ask for the money. Again, I will give you the money you want first. Only a little , it is not allowed to damage the image of the royal family."

This is the meaning of warning several people not to force them to pay back the money.

It was approved by the emperor to borrow money at the beginning, but now forcing them to repay the money, wouldn't it damage the image of the emperor.

"My son leads the order."

The four of them walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with smiles, and it was rare for the ninth elder brother to be kind to the fourth elder brother, "I need to trouble the fourth elder brother to sort out the list of debts, I don't think that group of people will pay back the money honestly. "

"I asked Fujin a few days ago. She has already written a letter to Yuezhang to see if Wanyan's family has borrowed any money. If so, Fujin means that she will persuade Yuezhang to take the lead in repaying the money." Wanyan's family is not short of money. , but it does not rule out the possibility of borrowing money with the crowd.

Especially when the emperor hunted Mulan every year, Wanyan's family picked them up a lot. The money was originally used for the emperor, and few people thought it should be paid back.Foer Guochun felt that he should tell his family that if there was any, he would have to pay back the money.

They took the initiative to repay the money, and I believe the emperor will not blame them if they can't pay it off for a while.
