Brother Thirteen was silent.
He thought about Brother Ninth's reaction just now, and it was indeed not quite right.
Apart from anything else, there was no intention of getting angry at all.
When I thought about the shortfall of more than 300,000 taels of silver, I felt unsure; Brother Ninth seemed confident when he mentioned one million taels.
In the middle, he still had to settle accounts with himself and his fourteenth brother, and even with the two empresses.
It's really not like borrowing money, it's more like sharing a share. That's why I mentioned the distribution method at the front.
If ordinary interest is paid directly when the money is repaid, no one will refuse to take it for a few dollars.
"One million shares? Is the cashmere weaving farm going to make a profit?"
Brother Thirteen said: "What can Brother Ninth do to make a difference?"
The fourteenth elder brother smiled happily and said: "Does this need to be said? The profit is too big to be swallowed by one person. After all, it is facilitated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Instead of returning it directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is better to share it with the brothers. Well, even Khan Amma won’t say anything..."
From last year to this year, the fourteenth elder brother has come to know what "brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful".
This is the request of the royal father to his sons. If anyone touches this line, there will be no good end.
Just like the third elder brother, the prince's hat is gone.
Just like the prince, who is implicated by his son, if the prince hadn't come forward, it's hard to say how it would have ended.
He scratched his head and said, "I still need to raise some more money. Where can I find it?"
Who doesn’t love silver?
Brother Thirteen was also moved.
Then he pressed down.
There is really no place to get together, because the mother-in-law has no contact with her natal family, and he is not close to his maternal family.
The empress had limited money in her hands, so she gave herself the big buck this time.
He glanced at the excited Fourteenth Brother, fearing that the Fourteenth Brother would act randomly and mess up the Ninth Brother's affairs.
Whether it's patching up holes or joining in, I hope everything goes smoothly.
This will save you the chance of getting down to business if you guess wrong.
The thirteenth elder brother advised the fourteenth elder brother: "Why don't you forget it first, maybe you are overthinking it!"
The fourteenth elder brother shook his head and said: "How can we forget it? If we guessed this, it would be a big sum of money; even if we guessed wrong, do we still have to worry about the ninth brother defaulting on the bill?"
He also saw Brother Ninth's economic ability.
Several things he organized in the Ministry of Internal Affairs earned the emperor's father's internal treasury hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
What I'm worried about now is where to get money.
Today's money was all earned by him in Yonghe Palace, in the name of being an errand at the end of the year.
Jiu Ge was not mentioned. Otherwise, because of the empress's temperament of protecting her shortcomings, she would think that Jiu Ge was trying to get her money, and later she would probably find Yi Fei's mother in trouble, which would be counterproductive.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him anymore, Brother Thirteen reminded him: "Even if you have guessed, you should keep it in your heart. Don't make noises. Others will know and ruin Brother Ninth's plan. Brother Ninth is not a lenient person. You have to Offend him again and see if he turns around and ignores you?"
Brother Fourteen pursed his lips...
Brother Ninth is quite easy to coax, but Sister-in-law Ninth is a woman after all and is not very generous...
I will go back to the study room to study tomorrow. Where can I find another sum of money?
It can’t be so little anyway!
If they are really members of a million people, then the eldest brother and the fourth brother will both get 10%. If the dividends are divided according to this ratio, it will also be 10%; I only have one point, and most of it belongs to the empress.
Brother Fourteen's heart feels like grass, and his head is full of money...

Second room, study room.
Brother Jiu took out the piece of paper he had written on before and wrote two lines at the bottom.
Thirteenth brother, 10,000 taels, note, 80% concubine.
The fourteenth brother is ten thousand taels, note, and the concubine is 70%.
When he finished writing, the ninth elder brother discovered that there was only one empty line between the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother.
"I forgot Yuqing Palace..."
Brother Jiu said: "The prince has been competing with the eldest brother in recent years. I heard that the eldest brother borrowed a hundred thousand taels. The prince should have an extra ten thousand to twenty thousand..."
The prince prides himself on being of noble birth, and does not discuss seniority with his eldest brother. He only talks about superiority and inferiority, and always takes the lead.
Shu Shu was already very calm.
Even though she didn't like the prince, she knew that the money was not for the prince, but for Kangxi.
She said: "That's almost it..."
The ninth elder brother's eyes fell on the line of the fourteenth elder brother, and he said unhappily: "Concubine De has a mother, but Concubine Hui does not..."
As for your own mother-in-law, just be filial in private when the time comes.
Shu Shu also respected Concubine Hui's character and behavior, but still shook her head and said: "This is good, it shouldn't be expanded..."
The more people there are, the easier it is to cause trouble.
Now this simple and crude way is good.
Even if someone is unhappy later, it is your own choice and has nothing to do with others.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, I know!"
He said it in front of everyone at the gate of Changchun Garden yesterday. The brothers knew about borrowing money, but they didn't know whether it was true or just a joke. Only the twelfth brother didn't know yet.
Brother Jiu will write it down.
However, he estimated that the twelfth elder brother did not have much money, and should be about the same as the thirteenth elder brother.
The next day, Brother Jiu and Shu Shu slept until they woke up naturally.
Brother Jiu stretched his waist and said, "It would be nice if I could take a few more long vacations a year..."
Shu Shu looked at him and said: "I want to be lazy now, but what if I move? By then, I will be halfway around the imperial city..."
After they moved out, Shu Shu paid it back. It was a female volume. It was okay to go to Di'anmen and Shenwumen on the day of greetings. However, Jiu Age, an adult prince, could no longer walk in the inner court. He had to enter the palace through the Qing Gate. The scope of activities It's just the front court.
If you want to come to the inner court, you must have a good reputation.
Brother Jiu calculated the distance and said, "I'd better take a carriage. It's such a long distance. I don't want to ride a horse. It's cold in winter, hot in summer, and dusty in spring and autumn..."
Shu Shu agreed: "Yeah, it's better to take a car."
He is not a prince vying for a big position, so there is no need to be harsh on himself.
There are more minor problems, which is not a bad thing.
After breakfast, Cui Baisui came over to report: "Master, Fujin, the fifth master is here, waiting in the living room."
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "I've sent you some money. I'll go over and have a look."
Shu Shu nodded, feeling the same.
If this were not the case, the fifth elder brother would have come directly to the main courtyard.
Although the brother-in-law and his sister-in-law have a relationship that avoids each other, there is no time to separate them.
When Ninth Brother is here, there is no need to avoid it.
*
Front yard, living room.
The fifth elder brother is sitting in the living room with a bowl of chrysanthemum tea in his hand.
He touched his mouth and found two big bubbles inside.
It was only hindsight that I guessed that Brother Nine had a big hole.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t test it in front of everyone.
He and Lao Shi can both make up for him even if it's a small matter.
How much is this?
In one night, the fifth elder brother had two watery bubbles in his mouth.
This is the first time.
He found it strange and ridiculous.
Why is this so?
For people like them, what is money?
If you are short of something, just make it happen; if you can't make it, just tell Khan Amma.
Lao Jiu has made a lot of money for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so what if he pays it to the internal treasury first?
He was trying to explain himself, but after all, caring would lead to chaos, and he was still a little anxious.
When Brother Ninth came in, he glared at Brother Ninth and said, "How dare you make such a big show when there is no one and no money? The example of Qianjinfang was before me, why don't you remember it?"
This is also a misunderstanding, thinking that the shortfall is the cashmere weaving farm in Jiangning.
Brother Jiu couldn't explain it, so he said sarcastically: "This is different from Qianjinfang. You won't lose money. It's just that you have to pay a lot of money and the income will be slower."
The fifth elder brother said worriedly: "How many holes are there left?"
Brother Ninth Brother insisted on what he said yesterday and said: "I counted 100,000 taels for Brother Five before, so there is still a shortfall of 530,000 taels..."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother stood up and pointed at the ninth elder brother, speechless.
Although he had already guessed that the amount would be large, he did not expect it to be so much.
Seeing that he was so angry that Brother Jiu's face turned red, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we won't lose money!"
The fifth elder brother disapproved and said: "How can there be such a guarantee? What if it happens? Do you want to cause a famine and let your brothers and sisters drink the northwest wind with you?"
Brother Jiu took the rogue and said, "The matter has come to an end. Anyway, we have to collect money to make up for it."
The fifth elder brother frowned and said: "Then you can't let go like this. You have to send someone you trust to keep an eye on..."
Speaking of this, he thought of his uncles who were concubines, and said: "How about you choose one of the uncles and go to Jiangning to keep an eye on it. It's better than just looking at the account books..."
Brother Jiu quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother, please don't mess around with me! As long as the people over there can use it, for the sake of my mother, why don't I use it? Send them to keep an eye on my money, that's right Bringing food to the cat!"
The fifth elder brother said: "If you give me a few more warnings, they won't dare."
Brother Jiu hummed, "That's okay, there's no need to cause all that trouble."
He remembered clearly that these uncles who were concubines were just outsiders. They clearly had the favor of the empress and the vacancy of the Shengjing Internal Affairs Office, and they still followed a few concubine uncles.
Then just go together as a group.
Now that everything is done, everyone is at peace.
The fifth elder brother also had no idea what to do with him, so he said, "Is there anyone else who can be used by my siblings in my parents' family?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "No, if I look back, Cao Shun has already entered Beijing."
Fifth elder brother: "..."
That’s the Cao family too!
Since he was suspicious of the Cao family, he felt a little uneasy and said: "Gao Bin looks good. If we are dealing with money, it would be more appropriate to leave it to Gao Bin..."
Brother Ninth knew how to be honest and didn't mind his verbosity, so he said, "Okay, listen to Brother Five..."
It was originally intended to be given to Gao Bin.
Although Cao Shun is said to be from the capital, he was raised under Cao Yin's name since childhood and has been out of the capital for more than ten years.
Compared with him, Gao Bin is more like a local snake.
The fifth elder brother then pointed to the box on the small table and said, "This is two hundred and thirty thousand taels. I will give you another seventy thousand taels later to make up the whole sum!"
When Brother Ninth heard this, he was startled and said, "We have brought all the money for household distribution. Brother Fifth, you didn't spend even one tael?"
The fifth elder brother said: "In the beginning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided food, drinks and chews. Later, the property was divided and there was no place to spend money..."
This refers to the favor given by the prince after the household division last year. In order to worry about insufficient supplies prepared by each government, the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued to draw supplies for six months, and stopped in May this year.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but frowned and said: "You can't just work idle like this, is it a loss? In the early years, it was one tael of silver and a thousand coins. In these two years, it was only 880 coins. In a few years, it will probably drop to Eight hundred coins, if you ask people to search for shops and houses, buy them and rent them out, they will get a profit. If you can't buy them in the inner city, you can go to Nancheng to inquire about them. The world is peaceful, and the population of the capital is increasing year by year. …”
The fifth elder brother shook his head and said: "If you don't worry about that, you won't be short of money!"
Brother Jiu saw that he was stubborn and said: "Fifth brother, you are a prince, so you have no shortage of money, but what about the nephews below? You have become a mama, and you don't prepare some property for your nephews? How many people in Prince Gong's palace? How is your cousin doing now? General Fu Guo, his annual salary of two to three hundred yuan is not enough to support his family in Hukou..."
The fifth elder brother was a little confused and said: "Isn't it too early to worry about this now?"
He only has one son now, and the other sons are still missing.
Brother Jiu said: "Why is it so early? Is it so easy to save money? You have to do it year after year. How can you just let your money go to waste..."
