The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Kangxi stopped when he was about to take a step: "Is this something sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

The people who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time were selected on purpose. They had little knowledge and low quality, and they didn't know Kangxi at all.

Originally, it was intended to make people disgust Fourteen Baylor, but unexpectedly, they would meet Kangxi.

When these few people came, they had been ordered by their superiors, just be presumptuous, brother Fourteen could still have a falling out with the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of this thing?

After that, I am afraid that the things sent will be even more unreadable.

"Of course, otherwise someone would be so generous and send five cartloads of things." The leader's nostrils were about to turn upside down: "This is not something you businessmen can see, hurry up and leave."

Kangxi was expressionless, Li Dequan wanted to step forward and talk, but Kangxi grabbed him.

Just in time, the door of Fourteen Baylor's Mansion opened, and the car was welcomed in, and Kangxi followed him in. The one who opened the door was Ma Lianying, he knew Kangxi!

Just as he was about to see the ceremony, he was stopped by Li Dequan: "Let's see, what kind of fun did the Ministry of Internal Affairs give Fourteen Baylor?"

Ma Lianying smiled wryly: "It's not bad if it's not broken."

He secretly said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to talk to them about the winter vegetable greenhouses a few days ago. The Ministry of Internal Affairs meant to "buy" Brother Fourteen's winter vegetable greenhouses.

Or ask the fourteenth elder brother's people to give pointers to the conservatory and fire pit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is awesome, they serve all the relatives of the emperor!

It used to be good to grow some cucumbers in the fire cellar, but here, Brother Fourteen, there are melons and fruits, and they are quite big. Compared with the fire cellar and greenhouse that the Ministry of Internal Affairs spends so much money every year, It's not enough to watch.

That's why the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to find fault.

I want to teach Fourteen Baylor House a lesson.

Put eye drops on Fourteen Baylor and let him see clearly what the situation is.

The car entered the yard, and the servants in the mansion began to unload the car. Kangxi stood there watching. Ma Lianying rubbed his nose and went up to hand over the car in person.

There are actually quite a few things here.

One hundred pieces of fur, including twenty pieces of fox fur, um, rotten fox fur, all of which have lost their fur.

Fifty rabbit skins, this one is good.

Fifteen mink furs, five in white, black and gray.

Mink furs were scarce, so such a few things were enough to inlay a hat brim and sew a collar, and if fifteen pieces were in each color, they could also be made into a small gown for the fourteenth master to wear.

Fifteen wolf skins, also old skins, and two were eaten by moths!

The rest of the sheepskins are also old sheepskins, obviously made into clothes that can only be worn by servants.

Not a single lambskin!

The two cars of leather are still like this, but the fabrics used to make new clothes for the New Year are even more gloomy in color, with old designs and colors, and even the silk and satin are tarnished.

There is also a car full of supplements.

The bird's nest is gray, and the sea cucumber is hairy!

The ginseng given are small Korean ginseng.

Can Korean ginseng be the same as Changbai ginseng?

Shark's fin is even more outdated, and it will fall off when you touch it.

Ma Lianying raised her face: "Is this something for our Baylor House?"

"It's just for you guys. Let's go on. This is the meaning of Long Live Lord. Tell the House of Internal Affairs to prepare annual gifts for Baylor, Beizi and other families in the royal palaces. A hundred pieces of leather, a certain amount of cloth, and a certain amount of supplements." It's really annoying.

But he brought out the "sacred edict", which made people have no place to vent their anger.

"The edict didn't ask you to give these rags to Fourteen Baylor." Kangxi looked at the things with a gloomy face that was about to drip.

"Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just such a thing. Whether you like it or not is disrespectful." The big hats were covered one by one, and they were used to being pretentious outside. .

The Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to apply eye drops to the fourteenth elder brother, but it turned out that the fourteenth elder brother applied the eye drops to the internal affairs office in front of Kangxi. I don't know who is better at the last eye drops.

"Then resist the decree and disrespect it!" Kangxi was so angry that he didn't bother to tell them: "Li Dequan, you go and deal with it, and don't let people see them again in the future. Also, go to the House of Internal Affairs to pass the decree to avoid Ling For Pu’s position as chief manager, it’s enough to be a person in charge, who is responsible for connecting with Yuqing Palace, and don’t care about other things, and he can’t manage well. The people who manage the warehouses in the Ministry of Internal Affairs should all be replaced, and everyone should be a vegetarian.”

After Kangxi finished speaking, he went in, leaving Li Dequan to greet people, and brought these things and these people with him, let him go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kangxi entered the door, and when he heard that Fourteen Baylor was in the study, he went directly to the study.

Brother Fourteen’s study room is bigger than the ones in the palace. There is a large piece of rice paper on the table. Brother Fourteen is holding a brush with a bald tip, dipped in ink, and is struggling to write something on it. small print.

The writing brush looked like it was bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the tip was bald... Kangxi turned around and ordered people: "Have someone beat Ling Pu's [-]th board!"

What are the things for Brother Fourteen?

In the past, he was too used to those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Yes!" Hearing that Long Live Lord was angry!

"Also, who in Wu Ya's family works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Kangxi asked the people around him.

"Wuya's family also has Wuya Yuese's Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Decree to promote Wu Yayuese to Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Kangxi said: "Tell Wuya Yuese to keep your eyes open in the future. If this kind of thing happens again, I will send the whole Wuya clan to their hometown in the Northeast."

"Yes!" The man hurried to pass the decree, this is a big deal, the House of Internal Affairs is about to change.

When Kangxi was talking, Elder Fourteen knew he was coming, and smiled when he looked up and saw him: "Huang Ama!"

"You, you! Why didn't you tell Huang Ama when you were bullied? If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known that group of slaves in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would turn the world upside down." Kangxi was very angry, and his beloved Fourteen The son was bullied, and he was still Ling Pu's slave.

Even if he is the crown prince's nanny, he is still a slave.

Kangxi is like this, when he respects you, you are a baby, and you can do everything right; once he loses patience with you, you can do everything wrong.

Probably this is the common problem of being an emperor.

"I don't have time to argue with them." The fourteenth elder brother actually showed Kangxi his big piece of paper: "Huang Ama, didn't you say that there are natural and man-made disasters everywhere in our Qing Dynasty? I made a Form out."

This is the fourteenth elder brother who ran to the Ministry of Finance, found the fourth elder brother, and borrowed the disaster-stricken areas reported to the Ministry of Accounts every year from the early years of Kangxi until now.

"Why are you doing this?" Kangxi didn't expect the fourteenth son to be in the mood to do this: "Aren't you making New Year's gifts?"

"I'm ready!" Elder Fourteen waved his hand casually: "But this one is more interesting, Huang Ama, I find our Great Qing is amazing."

"Why is Daqing... miraculous?"

"The sun rises in the east of the Qing Dynasty and the rain falls in the west!" Elder Fourteen smiled and said, "Look, this is Xiayue Lake in Shandong. The two major water systems of Tang and Surabaya, which were renamed Longchi in the Tang Dynasty, flooded every year, so that the people there were in dire straits, but in Jining Prefecture connected to it, the weather was smooth every year. They are all there, it is said that it is because of the blessing of the saint."

Bullshit!

There is a flood here, but the weather next door is smooth?

And the Xiayue Lake mentioned by Brother Fourteen is actually Heze in the future.

It was called Heze in the tenth year of Yongzheng, and it is now called Xiayue Lake.

Almost every now and then, the imperial court would help the victims there, either flooding or waterlogging, resulting in no crops. The people there left their homes and their fields were sold.

Be a tenant farmer or go out to do a small business, or simply sell yourself as a slave.

How pitiful it is.

The key is that the next door is in good condition, and Xiayue Lake is full of floods, and the next door has reported drought.

The imperial court not only wanted tax exemption, but also distributed food relief.

Sometimes it is necessary to distribute money to buy farming tools and cattle, so as to reassure the people.

Because this was reported in batches, and Kangxi did not have a secretary to help make a clear form.

Now it's all right, let his fourteenth son come out.

Kangxi looked at it for a long time in disbelief, didn't he!

"This group of bullying and corrupt officials." Kangxi blushed and was angry.

"Huang Ama, don't be angry." Fourteenth elder brother said: "We will use this form in the future, and I will give it to you alone. Look at the above, each provincial capital and county capital are marked. In the future, they want to fool you You, it's not that easy."

Kangxi took a deep breath: "You are still smart."

He saw the form in the plan given by the fourteenth brother, and thought it was useful, but he had just come into contact with the form and didn't know how to use it. The fourteenth brother gave him a surprise.

"Huang Ama, let's go, my son will take you to see the annual ceremony prepared by my son." The fourteenth elder brother hurriedly took Kangxi away, fearing that Huang Ama would do something wrong if he was so angry, so he would do it. Some happy things, good distraction.

"Let's go and have a look!" Kangxi didn't want to continue to feel depressed, so he followed Shisi to the back, Sisi's elder brother's residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that his room on the west side had been changed and turned into a temporary greenhouse. There were several short pottery jars in the room, which were full of plants.

"So many wolf peaches!" Kangxi saw the pure-colored fruits in the emerald green room.

Tomatoes are native to the forests of Peru. They were originally called "Wolf Peach". Because of their attractive beauty, people suspect that they are poisonous, and they only dare to eat them for viewing.

In the 200th century, it was brought back to Europe by a British duke, and it was still only for viewing.After almost [-] years, a French painter took a risk and found that it was both delicious and nutritious, so it spread widely.

Tomatoes, like peppers, were imported after Columbus discovered America. It was introduced to China at about the same time as peppers. For a long time, it was an ornamental plant in gardens.Tomatoes were eaten as vegetables and fruits by Europeans in the [-]th century. In the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty, better edible varieties were introduced in the name of food.

Before that, tomatoes were only ornamental plants in China.

The first document recording tomatoes can be found in the book "Plant" written by Zhao Han in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Han mentioned in the book that tomatoes were brought to Ming Dynasty together with sunflowers by Western missionaries in the early Wanli period, as ornamental plants rather than vegetables.

After a long period of cultivation, today's tomatoes have three varieties of red, green and yellow.

Juicy and full of sweet and sour taste.

Brother Fourteen has planted tomatoes in three large sheds, divided into red, green and yellow.

Because tomatoes can be eaten as vegetables or as fruits!

The main reason is that the colors are beautiful and the presentation is beautiful.

"Huang Ama, these tomatoes in the house are all edible. Erchen specially asked someone to plant a lot of them, and they can be eaten during the Chinese New Year." Elder Fourteen was proud: "And they are fried as vegetables and eaten as fruits. no problem."

"How do you know it's okay?" Kangxi has seen wolf peaches before. The wolf peaches cultivated in the greenhouses in the palace are as bright as fire, as bright as gold, or as green as jade.

He also watched it, but never thought of eating it!

"My son has eaten, secretly." Elder Fourteen didn't say anything. After he finished eating, he was discovered by the grandma, who had an expression as if the sky had fallen.

He comforted the grandma for a long time, and even the grandma herself ate wolf peaches and liked it very much.

The fourteenth brother told Kangxi that not only he ate it, but everyone in the family ate it, especially the eldest mother, who ate all the wolf peaches of three colors.

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry: "You are... fortunately you are fine."

The fourteenth elder brother rubbed his nose: "Then what, Huang Ama, you sit down, and my son will cook for you and show you both hands."

"Go!" Kangxi looked down at these wolf peaches: "Use this to make."

"Yeah!" Brother Fourteen nodded, and went to the kitchen confidently.

He didn't do any troublesome things, just made stewed noodles. The master Baian in the kitchen quickly cut the hand-rolled noodles and put them in the pot to cook. Fourteenth elder brother picked seven or eight red tomatoes and picked them again. I bought a few eggs and made a tomato stewed noodles.

Quick and easy.

After finishing the work in minutes, I personally brought it to Kangxi: "Try it, the hand-rolled tomato stewed noodles that Erchen likes very much."

But Elder Fourteen didn't feed Kangxi directly, but picked out the noodles from the basin, put them in a bowl, then filled the big bowl with marinade, mixed it himself, and ate it cleanly: "tasty!"

Kangxi laughed at his impatient look: "Then Huang Ama will also have a bowl."

It smells good, but I don't know how it tastes.

Kangxi ate a bowl and thought it was okay: "This thing is edible, it's good, it's good!"

Obviously feeling much better.

Fourteenth brother didn't quite understand: "Huang Ama, it's just a tomato, are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. With one more food, the common people can eat more." Kangxi filled another bowl for himself: "Today should be a happy day."
