The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Now the two mothers in the deep palace listen to the fourth elder brother for big things, and the fourteenth elder brother for small things. Brother's.

Concubine Min wrote a letter to her two daughters, telling them not to worry, let them solve the matter between father and son!

It's free and easy, in this regard, Elder Brother Thirteen is very similar to Concubine Min.

Concubine De not only wrote a letter, but also went to see Concubine Yi, who also wrote a letter to Princess Thirteen.

Concubine De, Concubine Yi and Concubine Min also asked Fourteenth Elder Brother to get a few carts of things and sent them to the two princesses.

The fourteenth elder brother simply sent five carts of things to all the princesses in the Mongolian grasslands, like wholesale, all of which are famous in Beijing.

Then came the fourth prince's birthday.

Fourteenth elder brother celebrated his birthday, and everyone had a meal at Yonghe Palace, but they still went to Kunning Palace afterwards.

Since the Kunning Palace has no relationship with the queen, apart from holding the sacrificial ceremony, the gods of the three queens are usually enshrined here. The fourth elder brother offered incense to Queen Xiaoyi.

But the fourteenth elder brother offered incense to every queen.

Entering Dongyue, the atmosphere in the court hall was strangely calm, no one mentioned the crown prince, no one mentioned Zhijun Wang.

Everyone seemed to be in hibernation, maintaining a subtle calm. The fourteenth elder brother visited Kangxi twice, accompanied him for dinner, and went to the Royal Garden to see the earliest plum blossoms in winter.

"This winter is cold enough. There should have been snowstorms near the capital, but you have too many people in winter, and many people have gone to your place to work. With money, food and charcoal, the people will not freeze to death from hunger. You are very good. Wearing thick fur, Kangxi walked among the blooming plum groves, accompanied only by the fourteenth elder brother, followed by a few eunuchs who were close to him.

"It's the emperor who is blessed and blessed, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty worked very hard, so there is such a good result." Elder Fourteen smiled: "Besides, this is a business, not a good deed. Bar."

"You, Yongyun is not greedy for merit." Kangxi laughed: "Where do you plan to open your roast whole lamb shop?"

"Is it in the suburbs of Beijing? That thing has a lot of smoke, so it's not suitable to drive in the city. I'm afraid that once the whole lamb is roasted, the people of the water and fire team should be exhausted." Elder Fourteen smiled wryly: "This is what my brother said. of it!"

Water and fire brigade, the ancient fire brigade.

"What about the spicy shop?"

"The hot and spicy shops are all snacks. It is enough to open four stores in the inner city, and twelve stores in the outer city." Elder Fourteen said: "After all, there are many people in the outer city, and I still want to build one in Zhili." This farm raises rabbits, chickens and ducks. In addition, I want to wait for this spicy technology to mature and develop it elsewhere. This is just a snack, but it is very profitable. Raising chickens, ducks and geese can also eliminate some locusts... .”

As for ecological farming, he had no experience in his fourteenth previous life, but he had read many related reports.

He chatted with Kangxi about this ecological breeding issue, which made Kangxi very interested.

This kind of issue related to people's livelihood is the kind that Kangxi attaches the most importance to.

After talking for a long time, Brother Fourteen took his leave.

It was only the next day that the fourteenth elder brother found out that Nian Gengyao would not be able to come back for a while. His father passed away, and then he separated from his elder brother. It seemed very unpleasant.

It's a pity that the fourteenth elder brother can't take care of Nian Gengyao anymore, so he can only send someone to deliver the funeral, because there are new moves in the court.

Kangxi didn't know what he was thinking, so he handed over half of the errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the eighth elder brother. In addition, she also found a job for the tenth elder brother: she sent the tenth elder brother to the official department for training.

Elder Brother Shi himself was in a daze, okay?

He took a good job in front of his wife, an idler, and suddenly went to the official department for him!

In addition, the twelve princes were also sent by Kangxi to Shengjing to worship their ancestors, representing Kangxi himself.

There are also transfers of many personnel in the court, those who have been promoted, those who have been demoted, and those who have been sent abroad. In the short time between Beijing and China, farewell banquets have been held frequently.

There are also many generals who led troops abroad, who were transferred back by Kangxi to guard the capital.

But Wucheng Bingmasi and Jiumen Admiral have changed people, replaced by Kangxi's cronies.

The tribute from the south of the Yangtze River was sent, and Cao Yong also came at the same time.

He visited Fourteen Baylor as soon as he came: "The slave pays respects to Fourteen Baylor."

After more than a year of training, Cao Yong seems to have grown up a lot, and he has calmed down a lot.

"Why are you here to deliver the tribute? Get up quickly!" Fourteenth elder brother and him are still on good terms, mainly because of Cao Dashen's face.

"Master Xie Belle, the servant came to Beijing to hand over the account book. At the same time, I also want to ask Lord Baylor to see the achievements of the slave." Naturally, Cao Yong's account book was handed over to Kangxi, but he had other questions and wanted to ask Fourteen Baylor.

"Then you can stay here. The courtyard of your house has been in disrepair for many years, and it is not convenient for you to be outside alone." Elder Fourteen is very considerate: "Besides, if you come to my place, I want to see it. Who will trouble you."

Cao Yong's smile is as simple and honest as ever: "Yeah!"

He is now in charge of the thirteenth line, which is a lucrative job, but in fact he is not involved in corruption, but is familiar with the operation of the thirteenth line and its relationship with overseas.

Even when he went out to sea in a sea boat, he swayed and vomited at first, but then he got used to it slowly.

Brother Fourteen entertained Cao Yong with hot pot, and Cao Yong also brought some seaside specialties, including frozen seafood, which couldn't be better for hot pot.

"How did your seafood stay frozen?" Elder Fourteen was curious.

"Use saltpeter to make ice, and then transport it to Jiangbei. It's snowing in Jiangbei at this time, and then cover it with real ice and snow here, and then transport it over." Cao Yong said: "Seafood in the south is cheap, and it is sold in the north. The price is sky-high! But few people like to eat seafood.”

"This is understandable." Brother Fourteen rolled his eyes: "But my hot pot is fine!"

Hot pot is very inclusive. Beef, mutton, pork, and even the internal organs can be eaten, let alone brought from the sea. Seafood hot pot is also delicious, right? It depends on the craftsmanship of seafood.

In fact, people in the inland areas do not eat seafood. It is a wrong perception. In fact, they just don’t know how to cook it. To cook seafood, you must get rid of the fishy smell. You need to add a lot of onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, or you must clean the seafood and wash it with plain water. After cooking, dip it in a suitable seafood sauce to eat.

"If it is possible, the fishermen on the seaside can also make money." Cao Yong said with a smile: "Fishing is dangerous and hard in winter. I just hope they can earn more money to support their families."

"Then you should go back and have a look. It would be even better if you can bring seafood to the capital in the winter over the thirteenth line." Multiple ways to make money are always a good thing.

Cao Yong also likes hot pot very much. He thinks it is possible to open a few chains in the south, especially when Elder Fourteen told him about seafood hot pot, he is even more interested.

But what made him even happier was that he lived in Fourteen Baylor Mansion, and most people would not dare to come to him if they wanted to find him.

No matter what the disciples of the third elder brother or the slaves of the eighth elder brother dare not come to Fourteen Baylor's mansion easily.

It saved him a lot of trouble, even some ministers dare not, they are sensitive at this time, okay?

The fourteenth elder brother took Cao Yong into the palace to greet Kangxi, and handed over the account book by the way. These were not only what Cao Yong had mastered, but also some of his proposals.

"Are the people in the thirteenth line still obedient?" Kangxi saw that the income had increased a lot compared to before, so he couldn't help but look at Cao Yong differently.

After all, he is the grandson of the grandma.

"At first they were honest, but later they wanted to play tricks on the accounts, but no one is familiar with this new bookkeeping method, and they have noticed it. They are not good at doing tricks with this bookkeeping method, so they can only do it and watch their slaves make money. "Cao Yong said respectfully: "Later they found out that the share was not small, and the slaves acted fairly, so they were accepted by the slaves, but there were still a few of them stubbornly standing up, no matter whether they could be accepted by the slaves, the slaves would not Give them a chance to put their hands in the ledger."

This new accounting method is clear at a glance, and it is difficult to cheat.

What's more, those households are all greedy people, Cao Yong is not a little sheep, he also used iron and blood skills in the south.

"I see, you've done a good job, you can go back after the new year here, and live in the Fourteenth Mansion, where there are many good things, food, drink, and entertainment, don't be polite to him. "Kangxi knew that Brother Fourteen had a good relationship with Cao Yong.It is also convenient to live together, Fourteen Baylor can also serve as a shield for Cao Yongdang.

"Master, thank you Long Live God for your kindness!" Cao Yong was happy.

And after Kangxi met Cao Yong, he transferred several Cantonese officials from the court to Ming Sheng and secretly, and transferred them away from the capital!

The people in Beijing were even more alarmed, and now everyone hoped that Kangxi's mood would get better.

It's a pity that he is still not in a good mood, and no one in the court mentions the crown prince and Zhijun king anymore, and even the eighth elder brother honestly manages the house of internal affairs.

As time went by, it entered the twelfth lunar month, and the Laba porridge was drunk, and the first person to reward the Laba porridge this year was the fourteenth elder brother.

Compared with being the crown prince or Zhijun king every year, the fourteenth elder brother has suddenly emerged!

After a difficult trek, the people sent by Brother Fourteen to Mongolia finally returned.

The news brought back was fine: "The two princesses are very good, and the brothers-in-law also said that the princess will not be implicated in the affairs of Beijing, not to mention, they still want to do business with you!"

"That's fine." Elder Fourteen nodded, "As long as they're doing well."

Elder Brother Thirteen can't be in a hurry, Kangxi is a bit moody now, so he is still very close to Elder Fourteen, and has no intention of angering him.

When it was Chinese New Year, Kangxi didn't mention the Crown Prince, let alone Prince Zhijun. This year, the two brothers who had been fighting since childhood, didn't appear in front of people, including the thirteenth brother.

On the ninth day of the first month, the fourteenth elder brother's birthday, Kangxi rewarded the fourteenth elder brother eighth two carts of things in one go, including a cart of silver.

And that night, Kangxi stayed at Concubine De's place, and Concubine De mentioned the fourteenth elder brother's marriage: "This year, his elder brother and his children ran all over the place, and he is still alone. "

"The living Buddha said that it is not appropriate to marry early when you are fourteen." Kangxi said a word with a straight face, and Concubine De never mentioned this matter again.

Concubine Min also came to greet Kangxi, and Kangxi was very satisfied with Concubine Min's "knowledge and interest", especially since she had two princesses Fumeng.

He didn't mean to vent his anger, and even rewarded Concubine Min with many things.

All of a sudden, the wind direction in the palace changed again...

The situation in the DPRK and China cannot be so rigid!

The first one who tried to break the ice was the third elder brother. Although he was reprimanded by Kangxi and stopped sharing dividends with the fourteenth elder brother, who was the third elder brother?The more frustrated, the more courageous!

It was the first month of the new year, and as soon as he started writing, he announced the good news: "Gu Wen Yuan Jian" has been completed!

Kangxi finally had a smile on his face, printed this book, awarded it to the courtiers, and sent it to the academy.

But in February, Kangxi issued an imperial decree: it is strictly forbidden for eunuchs to recognize relatives, uncles, and sisters with women in various palaces, and those who violate it will be punished severely.

The palace has repeatedly banned the matter of admitting to being a relative.

The first is that the court ladies are all from the banner, or from a Manchu family background. It is an indisputable fact that all those who turn around are relatives.

The second is that after the eunuch is gone, it is a kind of comfort to recognize a godson or something. Liang Jiugong has more than a dozen godsons, Li Dequan has dozens, and even the young Wei Zhu has eight or nine godsons. His son is serving him.

As soon as this imperial decree came, the palace was in chaos.

Who doesn't have a godfather?

Even Brother Fourteen is panicking.

"Anyone who has a god-in-law will be cut off!" Elder Fourteen had no choice but to tell everyone: "Qinglian and Qingmei, who came back from marriage, will take care of things, and those who have god-in-law in the palace should be more honest. Look at my brother, but someone was sent to the Shenxing Division!"
