The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The happy event in Princess Wenxian's mansion was soon reported to the palace, and the eunuch went there in person, the fourth elder brother couldn't come back in the Yamen, Si Fujin was pregnant, but he also sent someone to give gifts, and ten more The fourth elder brother has been in the princess mansion all the time, and he can't see anyone when his sister is confinement, but he is still under the window, and said a few words to his sister through the window, and he is relieved when he hears her sister say that everything is fine .

When the brother-in-law came back and brought back many rewards, he dragged him to the study: "Brother-in-law..."

As soon as he called out, Tong Jiashun and Anyan's hair stood on end: "Fourteen Baylor, you have something to say."

"My sister is going to confinement, I'm afraid it's inconvenient?" He stared blankly at Tong Jiashun An Yan.

Tong Jiashun rubbed his nose in Anyan: "I've been here for a few months, and this month is not bad. Besides, the princess and the child need to be taken care of by the slaves."

In other words, he had no plans to find a woman.

The princess has a good relationship with him, and now she has a son. The child was just born, but Long Live God said that this child is blessed.

At this time, he can't do bad things because of women's sex.

"Well, it's good that brother-in-law knows." Elder Fourteen yawned: "You're back, then I'll go back, and I'll come to see the child when he's full moon."

"Won't Shisan come?"

"Don't worry, it's a bunch of Fujins who come here for the third time, I have nothing to do with them." Elder Fourteen said, "And the baby is too young, I don't dare to hug it."

It was so small and soft that he dared not reach out.

Tong Jia instantly reassured, "Then come drink again when you are full moon."

No wonder I didn't reach out to hug the child just now, but went to hang the bow and arrow instead, because I didn't dare to hug the child.

"The servant sent Fourteen Baylor respectfully!" Tong Jiashun Anyan sent someone out before going to see his son.

After the fourteenth elder brother went out from here, he went to the fourth elder brother and told him that the fifth princess gave birth to a son, and the fourth elder brother was also very happy.

Although he didn't go, the gift was delivered.

Moreover, after listening to the fourteenth elder brother bragging about how he was, he made a bowl of chicken soup and longxu noodles for Princess Wenxian to eat. As a result, the baby was born smoothly, and the fourth elder brother said: "When your sister-in-law is born, You also make a bowl for your sister-in-law."

"Okay!" Elder Fourteen agreed.

After this incident, Elder Fourteen went to do his business, and his business has taken shape. This brother and younger brother gave him a lot of shops, and he bought it himself, and Kangxi gave him two more, Si Ah Brother also has two, Brother Ten is more straightforward, he divided all the shops into two, gave half to Brother Nine, asked him to use the money to make money, and gave half to Brother Fourteen, asked him to take it For opening a shop.

So the fourteenth elder brother collected the resources in his hands, and there are a total of thirty shops, which is enough for him to open thirty hot pot restaurants.

The chain is enough, but the manpower... He had to keep some shopkeepers in the shops, and then hired people to work. Fortunately, these shops are all manned, and they are divided equally. And the fourteenth brother also specially sent people to hire some Mongolians in Beijing to cut mutton.

Hand-cut lamb, hand-cut beef, hand-cut pork!

These are the three most frequently eaten dishes in shabu-shabu.

The remaining cabbages, radishes, and potatoes are all easy to handle, as are bean sprouts, which are green vegetables, which are difficult to handle this winter, so there are frozen tofu, yuba, and dried tofu, and tofu skins are available.

However, there are quite a few offal dishes. Elder Fourteen tried his best to let everyone eat well, so he planned to introduce some side dishes.

Tofu mixed with shallots and shredded potatoes with soy sauce are both given away for free, and one plate for each table is enough.

Now it's autumn, Brother Fourteen opened this chain of hot pot restaurants, and on the first day of opening, it was overcrowded.

The first is that the background of this hot pot chain store is strong, no one can afford it!

The second is that the dipping sauce here is unique, there are as many as seven or eight kinds, especially fermented bean curd, which is really liked by some people.

The third is the shabu-shabu here, beef and mutton from Inner Mongolia, dried bamboo shoots from the south of the Yangtze River, dried mushrooms from outside the customs; and various offal, especially things like duck intestines and tripe slices, why are they so delicious?

Brother Fourteen's business was an instant hit, with a daily turnover of 800 taels, and even more profits.

Just when he was happy, a good thing was like a big wholesale, Nian Gengyao won!

Followed by San Age's family, San Fujin gave birth to a boy!

This is the second child born on the harem, the first one is a girl, and besides Da Fujin, the first Fujin who gave birth to a boy.

As if a switch had been flipped, a boy was born in one of the Fifth Prince's concubines.

Seventh elder brother's side Fujin is also a boy, eighth elder brother's family still has no news, Jiu Fujin is not pregnant, but a concubine of ninth elder brother is pregnant, tenth elder brother is not feeling well, ask the imperial doctor to give a pulse, and there is also one.

Kangxi also came to join in the fun, giving marriages to the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.

Elder Brother Twelve is not from a high family background, but Fujin is from a great family, she is the daughter of the Shaji Fucha family, a Taibao, a bachelor, and Earl Maqi.

The thirteenth elder brother's Fujin comes from a higher family background, Zhao Jia's family.

She is the daughter of Zhaojia Marhan, who was born in Zhengbai Banner, Manchuria. For his meritorious service, he was awarded the secretary of the Lifan Academy. He was sent to Russia as an envoy from Suo'etu, a university scholar, to set the border in Russia.

In the 38th year, he moved to Zuodu Yushi, and then moved to the Minister of the Ministry of War, serving as a lecturer and minister of state affairs.

To be honest, with Zhao Jia's status and background, it is enough to be a princess, but Kangxi pointed it out to the thirteenth brother.

The crown prince is starting to get sour again!

The first month's dividend came down, and the fourteenth elder brother gave out dividends from door to door. This first month's dividend was a lot, as much as 500 taels for half a share.

However, Elder Fourteen deducted 500 taels from each family, and gave away 1000 taels. The 500 taels is called a construction fund.

In fact, it is deducted, saved up, and planned to pay back the money when the time comes.

He sent the first batch of dividends from door to door, even to the palace. Kangxi felt very fresh: "Is your hot pot so profitable?"

"You don't know, Erchen's store is so lively!" Elder Fourteen deliberately learned from Kangxi, the crowd in his own store was full of people, and there were also taxes paid.

"Have you paid your taxes?" Kangxi looked at his fourteenth son in surprise.

"Of course, if you don't pay taxes for business, it will be miserable for you if you check the accounts in the future." Elder Fourteen took it for granted, "One tax for thirteen, it's very cheap!"

Fourteenth elder brother is not very clear about the specific tax payment content of ancient restaurants.

This chain of hot pot restaurants is full of big names, but Brother Fourteen asked for advice from some old tax officials who didn't know Fourteen Baylor at all, so he said the regular market price.

Thirteenth tax one, in the eyes of the fourteenth brother, is too low!

You should know that the catering industry in his previous life was also a big taxpayer, from [-]% to [-]% of the value-added tax, and there were also city maintenance and construction taxes, education surcharges, local education surcharges, and corporate income tax, etc.

Add up to [-] to [-] percent of the quota.

If your salary is high, you will have to pay personal income tax if you pass the red line.

Ancient times are good, firstly there is no personal income tax, secondly, people in the banner do not do business, the fourteenth elder brother also hangs the hot pot restaurant under the name of the milk brother, Sun Nanny’s son, Sun Dahao is the big shopkeeper in name, and Sun Dahao is as busy as a top right now.

He also asked the eldest mother's son to go to Inner Mongolia to buy cattle and sheep, and asked the eldest mother's brother to buy mountain treasures for him in Shengjing.

There are also spokespersons sent by other brothers, who are also surrounded by her.

After getting busy, it is natural to make more money.

But he has to pay taxes, which he attaches great importance to.

Thirteen taxes and one tax, it's almost the same as nothing.

Sun Dahao paid the tax in person, and even got a receipt from the yamen, proving that they paid the tax.

And there are various procedures, although cumbersome, but the Fourteenth Lord said, it must be done!

The fourteenth elder brother had an imperial meal at Kangxi's place, and then went to see Concubine De, had a late-night supper there, stuffed his belly full, and slipped out of the palace in a big way.

What he didn't know was that Kangxi took the dividends he gave and looked at it for a long time, but he sent people to the household department overnight to find the stub of paying taxes at the hot pot restaurant of the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother sent money to others in a timely manner, but the fourth elder brother was the last one to send: "I have made up my mind, brother, you will get half of the money, but your eldest son, brother, will get half of it!"

In this case, the fourth elder brother's family will have [-]% of the shares!

"Master's eldest son?" The fourteenth elder brother's words made the fourth elder brother a little fascinated: "I don't know where it is yet!"

The fourth elder brother is also in his twenties, but his knees are empty, there is only one big grid, and he has only passed his first birthday a few days ago.

If it wasn't for Brother Fourteen's folk prescription, he might not be able to keep his big grid.

The fourteenth elder brother was happy: "Don't worry, brother, you will definitely have a son, not just one!"

As soon as this side finished speaking, Gao Wuyong came in: "My lord, there is news from Mrs. Li that it is likely that she is about to give birth."

"Mr. Li from the west courtyard?" The fourth elder brother frowned: "Didn't he be fine in the morning?"

In the morning, she dared to speak harshly to Fujin when she was pregnant. Now there are two pregnant women in the family, Fujin and Li Shi.

Fujin is safe, but Li's is a bit flamboyant.

"Who can say for sure about having a baby?" The baby is nine months old, and being born early is not considered premature.

If it is really grown up, I am afraid it will not be easy to be born.

The fourth elder brother didn't think so: "Why did the good ones give birth early?"

Fourteenth elder brother sniffed, this is something in his own brother's backyard, and he is not easy to participate in it, but he also feels that it is too coincidental.

"I'm not a stable woman, just let someone go and see." The fourth elder brother didn't want to guard it, otherwise Li would be even more proud.

After all, it was a person from a small family, who was pregnant a month earlier than Fujin, so he started to do his best by relying on his stomach.

Gao Wuyong was sent to see Mrs. Li give birth, and he represented Fourth Master.

Brother Fourteen thought for a while: "Brother, you have to have a good relationship with your sister-in-law. It's best to have more children with your sister-in-law. This is a blessing. Children born to other women are not good enough."

He said he was born.

The fourth elder brother thought for a while: "That's the thing."

Since the elder brother's concubine is giving birth, the fourteenth elder brother did not leave either, he had dinner here.

Although Sifujin has a big belly, there are still people in the management of the house. The Song family will share Sifujin's worries for the time being. In addition, the fourth elder brother is very strict with the housekeeper, so the rules of the house are still in place, and the evening is prepared for the two brothers. Meal is the old hen's pot, stewed dried mushrooms.

There are also dry pot potato chips, which is a favorite dish of Si Age.

From the hand of the fourteenth elder brother, it is a difficult problem to eat vegetarian in winter.

But the fourth elder brother also likes to be vegetarian, and the fourteenth elder brother is a carnivore. It's the end of September, where do you get the vegetables?It's nothing more than some white radishes, and the green vegetables from Wen Tangjian in the palace will be supplied to the emperor and empress dowager.

Now Kangxi has not vigorously developed Xiaotangshan. The historical Xiaotangshan Palace was developed in the later years of Kangxi, but it was built on a large scale in the early years of Qianlong.

It’s just that as early as the Yuan Dynasty, there was a famous Wentang here, but no one developed and paid attention to it, and it’s still a semi-barren mountain until now.

The fourteenth elder brother saw that what his own brother ate was nothing but cabbage and radishes, and felt distressed: "Brother, why don't I grow some vegetables for you?"

"You can figure it out." The fourth elder brother didn't care too much, his younger brother thought it out as soon as he thought about it.

After dinner, before there was any good news, the fourth elder brother sent the fourteenth elder brother out.

Fortunately, the two families are close to each other. The next day, the fourteenth elder brother had breakfast and heard from the grandma that Mrs. Li in the fourth elder brother's house was born.

"Given birth all night?" Elder Fourteen was a little surprised, this is not the same as his sister.

"Mr. Li has taken care of her very well." The grandma said, "And Mrs. Li probably used something to induce labor, and wanted to forcefully give birth to a child before Sifujin."

"Women are really desperate." Elder Fourteen shook his head: "For the position of the eldest son?"

"Yes, but Mrs. Li didn't succeed." The grandma told Brother Fourteen: "Although she gave birth early, she gave birth to a princess."

Elder Fourteen almost spit out the soup in his mouth: "Ge Ge?"

"Yes, one gege, there are two geges under King Yongjun's knees." The grandma looked at the fourteenth elder brother: "Si Fujin still has one in his stomach."

"Sister-in-law is still capable, she must be an elder brother!" Fourteenth elder brother gritted his teeth: "By the way, prepare a gift for me."

"This slave has already gone to do it." The eldest mother handled the matter very properly.

After Li gave birth, several other mansions gave birth one after another, and then Sifujin also gave birth, but when Sifujin gave birth, because it was the first child, she also encountered a little difficulty.

At that time, the fourth elder brother was guarding the door, and the fourteenth elder brother came. He frowned when he saw the panic-stricken expressions of the people coming in and out, and said, "What are you doing? Keep your spirits up, you Fujin students." Elder brother, the master will not treat you badly."

The atmosphere is so depressing, how can you have a baby?
