The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The river embankment is repaired every year, and funds are allocated every year, and some places burst every year.

Millions of taels of silver are spent on the river course every year, but the results are not so good, especially in some places where the dikes are broken every year.

"Grandson thinks that we should take advantage of the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, when the water level of the river is at its lowest, to dredge the river to remove the silt. The wider the river, the larger the capacity, and the natural increase will be less." Brother Honghui said: "Grandson also played a game with Uncle Fourteen. He made a small model and tried it. It only needs to dig wide and deep for the river channel. In addition, trees must be planted on both sides of the river channel to fix the land on both sides of the river bank."

This is what Shisi told Honghui. Honghui didn't understand it before, but after thinking about it, he really understood it. Children like to use their brains to think about things when they have nothing to do.

Brother Honghui's character is actually a little boring gourd, but he knows everything in his heart.

It was rare for him to fall in love with Kangxi, and he even told Kangxi his opinion, Kangxi was very happy, he thought his grandson was so smart.

From then on, Kangxi kept the child by his side until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lord Long Live celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in Changchun Garden. People who are close to him will naturally go into the garden to congratulate Mid-Autumn Festival and spend it with Lord Long Live; Kowtow to the empty throne.

The banquet was held at the same time in the palace and Changchun Garden, this time in the palace, Ba Ye did not enter, because no matter whether it was in the garden or in the palace, Ba Ye had no place for him.

Baye was completely marginalized.

This time, Master Jiu didn't even help him.

However, Ba Ye was still very powerful, and his gift of ceremony was sent to Changchun Garden, before Kangxi. There were not many valuables in the gift of ceremony, and the emphasis was on his heart.

Kangxi saw the gifts sent by his sons, and ordered that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had specially prepared rituals for each prince's mansion. Kangxi gave the gift in the name of Kangxi as soon as he ordered.

The rewards from Kangxi are all the same, a box of eight kinds of moon cakes; a fruit basket; and a roasted whole lamb.

Two pots of blooming golden chrysanthemums are very suitable for solar terms.

The princes of every family were not left behind, including Prince Zhijun who was in confinement and the second prince of Xian'an Palace.

This is confusing. Although the rewards were given, the guards of Zhijun Palace and Xian'an Palace were still not released, nor were they given any freedom.

This made everyone murmur in their hearts.

However, the Mid-Autumn Festival was very lively. The Fourteenth Master sent [-] roasted whole sheep to Changchun Garden, and the whole Changchun Garden wafted with the smell of roasted sheep.

Kangxi and Honghui's grandpa and grandson ate a whole roasted lamb, and Kangxi gave Honghui a piece of lamb: "This should be eaten with ingredients. The spices brought back by your fourteenth uncle are very tasty."

On the [-]th, a lot of peppercorns were planted in Sichuan, and a lot of cumin was planted in Xinjiang. This kind of thing is an indispensable spice for roast sheep.

There are also sesame, chive flower sauce and so on.

It can be said that the fourteenth master is related to Mongolia and Xinjiang, as well as Sichuan, Qinghai and other places just for the dipping sauce.

It is a lot of money to supply the dipping sauce in Beijing every year, because the fourteenth master can not only dine in, but also provide door-to-door service. Whoever roasts a whole lamb has to spend money to buy the dipping sauce.

What's more, it's not just the fourteenth master's family that buys and sells dipping sauces in Beijing, there are other people's families too.

Everyone buys these seasonings together, and sells them to Mongolia. Mongolia can digest as many spices as possible. Even things like cumin and chive flower sauce in the north can be sold to the south, and the south goes to sea. When sailing, chive flower sauce is their favorite side dish.

The grandma even used small beans, blanched them, and put them in the leek flower sauce. The small beans in the leek flower sauce are the favorite of the fourteenth master. I have such a plate every morning, with vegetarian Stuffed buns and rice porridge are enough for a breakfast. Fourteen gave Cao Yong a portion of this small recipe, which was just a side dish for the Royal Navy fleet.

Now, Fourteenth Master's dip business is doing well, but it doesn't make much money, it's a condiment after all.

"Delicious!" Elder brother Honghui took a bite: "There is also chili powder, Huang Mafa and Erniang don't let their grandson eat chili, but in fact, grandson can eat some, it's delicious and I like it very much. "

This kid has an appetite for spicy food, but Si Fujin was afraid that he would lose his appetite for spicy food, so he restricted him from eating chili.

Eat something slightly spicy at most.

For example, the chive flower sauce is only a little bit spicy.

And Kangxi's dipping dishes are all seventeen or eight kinds there. Kangxi can adjust what he wants to eat.

"You're still young, your mother is doing it for your own good." Kangxi gave Honghui his dipping dish, "You can just eat something at Huang Mafa's place to satisfy your hunger, and you are not allowed to eat it at other times."

There are two dipping dishes for Kangxi, one is dry and the other is wet, both of which are heavy-tasting. Kangxi is getting older and the taste buds on his tongue are not so sharp, so his dipping sauce is a bit heavier. Brother Honghui I really like it when I eat it.

"It's still Huangmafa's full dipping sauce, which is also delicious." Brother Honghui rolled green pepper rings, roast lamb, garlic slices and a little leek flower sauce with lettuce leaves, rolled them together, and handed them to Kangxi: "Have a taste of Huangmafa. If you eat it like this, you won't feel greasy at all."

He learned this from Uncle Fourteen. Ever since Uncle Fourteen saved his life, Brother Honghui has been very close to Fourteen. In some things, he is willing to imitate Fourteen. For example, eating barbecue, he I ate with Fourteen a few times, but he remembered how to eat.

Liang Jiugong saw it and wanted to stop him. Long live Lord can't eat such greasy food after he gets old. He can't eat more than ten slices of mutton a day. This is the way to keep in good health.

This is No.12 piece.

Who knew that Long Live Lord actually took it over: "Well, let me try it."

The child's bag was not big, and Kangxi took two bites: "Not bad, not greasy at all."

"Huang Mafa will take two more bites. After eating, my grandson will accompany you to go for a walk. After the meal, I will live to 99." After rinsing your mouth with water, you will go for a walk after a short rest, and Huang Mafa will do the same."

Kangxi loves to hear these words: "Well, Huang Mafa must live a long life."

The half-grown boy eats the poor.

Elder Brother Honghui was just half a child, and when he was growing up, it was too much to eat. He killed half a mutton chop and ate a lot of mutton that Kangxi gave him.

When the others saw the interaction between Elder Brother Honghui and Kangxi, they had some vague thoughts in their hearts.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Changchun Garden was very lively, but Fourteen noticed something: "Why... are there such tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans?"

"Long live Lord said to be simple." Nian Gengyao whispered beside him: "So you see? Everything here is very simple."

Isn't it simple!

In the past, when they ate, every festival, there were red sandalwood tables and chairs, and the red sandalwood table was inlaid with porcelain paintings, and gold thread was pressed on the edge of the table.

The openwork snare drum stool is very beautiful, like a work of art.

Every time he came to Changchun Garden on the [-]th, he always had a thought of hating the rich, and sometimes he even thought outrageously, no wonder the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Yuanmingyuan, they were all crazy!

Because there are so many good things!

But now Kangxi wants to pretend to be poor, so the things used are much simpler. Although they are simpler, they are also much more luxurious than ordinary people.

All the tables, chairs and benches are new, but they are made of red pine instead of red sandalwood.

And all of them are Eight Immortals tables, and the preparations are well-prepared. Kangxi also said that the roasted whole lamb brought up was given to him by Prince Xun's filial piety. Everyone agreed that this was Prince Xun's filial piety.

Fourteenth Master and Nian Gengyao sat at the same table, surrounded by Shi 56 and Shiba, and three children from clan families.

Nian Gengyao has been taking care of them all this meal, but he is more concerned with taking care of Fourteenth Master.

It's okay, because these people are all admirers of Shisi and Nian Gengyao, and they also want to go out and lead troops to fight.

So it was fun to chat.

Is it the festival that is lively and lively?

After the banquet, everyone else was in a hurry to go home, so Kangxi took elder brother Honghui's hand and walked around the garden.

Seeing this scene, Sifujin looked at Prince Yong worriedly: "My lord, Honghui..."

Fourth Master said very calmly: "It's okay, it's a good thing that Huang Ama likes our Hong Hui."

Seeing Si Ye's appearance, Shisi leaned over and said, "Now it's not just about looking at the next new king, but also about the next king."

Fourth Master glanced at his younger brother: "Yes, I see."

Sifujin clenched the veil in her hand, her elder brother Honghui... really had that fate?

Then fourth master... she... Si Fujin became more and more excited as she thought about it.

The women who followed Si Fujin also had ideas.

However, Nian Gengyao quickly escorted Fourteenth Master away, and the two of them rested in Chengluxuan in Changchun Garden, and Thirteen followed Fourth Master to Yuanmingyuan, where his family lived.

Where there is excitement, there is disappointment. There is only a little joy in the Eighth Master’s mansion, and it is a reward from the palace. The Kangxi reward from the House of Internal Affairs is actually very simple. Eighth Master didn’t even look at it, so he sent it to the backyard , let Ba Fujin watch the score.

Bafujin is a good dish for a table. Although it is not as luxurious as roast whole lamb, there are roast duck and chicken.

The two children, two concubines, and Ba Fujin waited for half the night before Ba Ye came to the backyard for a meal, it took only half an hour, and after dinner, the two children and two concubines congratulated After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ba Ye went back to the front yard, and Ba Fujin was not interested in staring at the two concubines, so he sent them back to sleep.

Ba Ye was also worried, now he found that without Er Niang, he didn't even have an excuse to enter the palace.

Thinking of Kangxi's cold treatment of him in the past two years, he felt that he seemed to be going in the wrong direction.

It's a pity that it's too late for him to regret it now, so he had to call the housekeeper to see how much money he has.Is it enough to pay back the money owed by the Ministry of Accounts?

In Xian'an Palace, although people couldn't get out, the banquets delivered according to the convention were pretty good. There was no special care, but they didn't deprive them of anything.

But the second prince still didn't eat much, he was already very thin, he looked like a handful of bones, and he didn't have any energy.

The Zhijun Palace is similar, there is only the Zhijun King at a table, and Ji Fujin sits with several sons and daughters to eat, and the other people, the Zhijun King can't control so much.

But Chang Shi of King Zhijun was still at the mansion. After dinner, King Zhijun called Chang Shi to his study.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Long Live Lord lived a simple life, how dare others live extravagantly?

The Fourteenth Master went home, had dinner on the morning of August [-]th, and glanced at the table: "What is this?"

"Grandpa, Long Live Lord is going to be simple, and we have to be simple." Ma Lianying told him: "That's why the slaves asked people to put away all the extravagant things."

So the breakfast kang table that appeared in front of the fourteenth master was just an ordinary mahogany square low table, and the plates used on it were the kind without any patterns, which was a mess of simplicity.

Xiaolongtangbao, chive flower sauce, small beans, millet porridge, tea eggs.

There is no longer a table full of breakfast, the simplicity of which makes Grandfather a little unaccustomed, but fortunately, the steamed buns are still so delicious with three delicacies stuffing.

After breakfast, the Fourteenth Master changed into low-key clothes and saw Nian Gengyao when he went out. As soon as he saw Nian Gengyao, the Fourteenth Master smiled and bent over: "Liang Gong, what are you doing?"

"Isn't this simple?" Nian Gengyao lowered his head and pulled his clothes: "I haven't worn such simple clothes for a long time."

In the past, Nian Gengyao's clothes were not luxurious, but they were definitely slim fit. He has a good figure!

As a result, now Nian Gengyao was wearing muslin clothes, looking like a gangster on the street.

"Let's go, let's go to my brother's house." The Fourteenth Master laughed for a long time, and took Nian Gengyao to Prince Yong's mansion, only to hear that Prince Yong had gone to the household department early in the morning.

Si Fujin told him: "Those who heard about Lao Ba, pay back the money today."

Fourteenth Master immediately said: "The younger brother has left, so I will take Lianggong to the household department to have a look."

After the two said goodbye, they flew to the household department.

Sure enough, seven or eight officials came to pay back the money, but they didn't pay all the money back, only part of it, and some after the autumn harvest.

Prince Yong looked at them with a cold face.

He said yes, but it was delayed from this year to next year, and from next year to the year after that, and the delay was endless.

Lao Ba wanted to use this method to delay the day of repaying the money, and in the end he wanted to let it go!

What good thing do you want?

But for these officials, Prince Yong also knew that they did not have real property in their families. After paying back the money, the family would not be able to live on, but he could not make such an opening.

If he pays back the money like this, can he complete the recovery of the money owed by the household department in the year of the monkey?

Just in time, Master Fourteen and Nian Gengyao came.

Seeing these people, Fourteenth Master laughed: "Master said who is crying poorly with Master's brother here, how many of you are there?"

"Master Fourteen, how many of these people do you know?" Nian Gengyao immediately picked up the topic, and the two cooperated tacitly.
