As soon as the carriage in front stopped, the third brother noticed something was wrong.
This is still on the official road, and there are no royal gardens on both sides of the road.
Feeling guilty, he reined in his horse.
When he saw someone getting off the carriage, he hesitated whether to continue walking or turn back. As a result, he saw two of the guards in front turning around.
The third elder brother regretted changing his yellow belt, but he was not too worried.
This is official, and there are three people on my side.
But when the two riders approached, he was dumbfounded.
"Horse guard..."
The third elder brother looked stiff and looked at the carriage ahead, speechless.
Ma Wu said: "Third Master, the emperor's biography is here!"
The third elder brother was about to cry without tears, and wished he could have his ears scratched.
But looking at the official road in front of the carriage, he calmed down again and reined in his horse.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Kangxi was sitting there with a gloomy face.
With Concubine Yi nearby, it was hard to say anything.
I didn't expect it to be the third elder brother...
This is spying on the emperor, which is a taboo.
At this time, the third elder brother had already arrived, reined in the horse, turned over and said: "My son, please pay my respects to Khan Ama..."
Speaking of this, he also saw Concubine Yi next to him and said: "Concubine..."
Yi Fei just nodded with a smile.
Kangxi's face was cold, he glared at his third elder brother and said, "I'm uneasy!"
The third elder brother turned around and looked at the official road in front of him. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence and said, "Ama Khan is also worried about the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother?"
Kangxi: "..."
The third elder brother frowned and said: "My son was about to go to the Yamen. I heard from the boss that the two elder brothers did not go to the study room, but came to the official road. I was a little worried, so I followed him to have a look..."
Kangxi looked at him suspiciously and said, "Then what are you doing sneakily? Where are the guards and the army guards?"
The third elder brother said sarcastically: "Isn't this because I am afraid that if there is too much noise, they will notice it..."
Kangxi was extremely angry and laughed back: "If you want to protect your brother, what are you afraid of? You still have bad intentions, so you are a thief here!"
After hearing this, the third elder brother felt uncomfortable. He lowered his eyelids and drooped the corners of his mouth and said: "The fourteenth elder brother humiliated his son yesterday. The son was stupid and couldn't explain him. He was so uncomfortable that he didn't sleep well for half the night, so he I want to see what’s wrong with him and teach him a lesson.”
Kangxi looked at his third elder brother, his eyes were blue and black, and he really looked like he hadn't rested well.
He was speechless and said: "How old are you and how old is he? Why do you care about him?"
The third elder brother was born in the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, and the fourteenth elder brother was born in the 27th year of Kangxi's reign. The two brothers were eleven years apart, almost a generation apart.
The third elder brother looked at Kangxi with a sense of grievance and said: "Khan Ama asked his sons to treat each other as brothers and sisters, so why did he ignore the fourteenth elder brother? Then the elder brothers like us, who are above us, respect our brothers. Are you still being bullied by your younger brothers?"
Kangxi said with a straight face: "He has made mistakes. You should tell him clearly in person. What is he doing behind his back? Is that your brother? Is he an enemy or a rival?"
Third Brother: "..."
I don’t really want this arrogant brother!
It's the enemy!
Kangxi saw that the third elder brother had no intention of being taught, and said impatiently: "Don't use the tricks of others on your family. If I know that you are investigating the prince's elder brother like this, you will also record it in the clan mansion." Pen!"
The third elder brother quickly raised his head and looked at Kangxi in surprise.
He knows about the tenth prince.
He didn't want to make a note of it.
If I really want to make a note of it, next time I catch up with the prince's promotion, I will stay where I am.
"Khan Ama, my son made a mistake. He was petty for a moment, and he won't do it again..."
He immediately admitted his mistake.
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "Go back and work hard, there will be no next time!"
The third elder brother immediately nodded and said: "Son, I'll be back soon, I'll be back soon!"
Kangxi then signaled people to continue setting off.
The carriage went further and further away.
The third elder brother was looking at the carriage, his fists were clenched tightly, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
In the carriage, Kangxi's expression was also a little uncertain.
As my son gets older, he has more thoughts.
Seeing this, Concubine Yi knew that she was suspicious of the third elder brother, and did not fully believe what the third elder brother said.
She couldn't help laughing and said: "This third brother is still as sincere as when he was a child. Even if he wants to catch the fourteenth brother, he can just send two people to follow him and catch up by himself. This is still on the official road. , how many pairs of eyes are watching, looking at this, I want to give my brother a lesson right away to relieve my hatred..."
Kangxi listened, with helplessness on his face, and said: "He is just a fake smart person. He is not smart when he should be smart, and he pretends to be smart when he shouldn't be smart. This must be because he has been reported by his slaves, so he immediately followed up. I didn’t think much about it at all.”
Concubine Yi said: "But after listening to what Third Brother said, I do have grievances. It's normal for these brothers to fight and fight with each other. Your Majesty, please don't protect whoever is young, and let them grind on their own." go."
Kangxi hummed and said: "No one can worry. Is this how you can rest assured? If you can't keep an eye on him, trouble will happen..."
The atmosphere relaxed, and Concubine Yi agreed: "What can I do? That's what parents are like. They worry about them all day long, just like a concubine, who also has to think about whether the fifth daughter-in-law will give birth to a boy or a girl. I also have to think about Xiaoliu not having a son, worry about something happening to Laojiu Zhe, and wonder whether Xiaoqiu will be educated next year or the year after..."
Xiaoliu is Princess Kejing, the sixth daughter of the emperor.
However, because four of the previous princesses died in infancy, she ranked behind Princess Chunxi, Princess Rongxian and Princess Duanjing, and was also called the four princesses.
When Kangxi heard Princess Kejing, he pondered for a moment and said, "How is life there in Kejing?"
Concubine Yi sighed and said: "She came back this time to ask for help from the emperor. The prince-in-law will succeed King Khan and will be stationed in Kulun in the future. Xiaoliu still wants to stay with Guihua..."
After hearing this, Kangxi put aside the matter of Guo Guiren and thought of the situation in Khalkha.
The Tuxietu Khan Department is the largest department and is designated to be stable.
Princess Kejing is a daughter who has always been strong. In the past, whether she was giving notes to the court or writing letters to Concubine Yi, she always reported good news but not bad news.
Now that she can mention "asking for help" in front of Concubine Yi, it shows that she is really in trouble.
"Did the consort treat her badly?"
Kangxi was a little annoyed when he thought of this possibility.
The princess caressing Meng represents the dignity of the court, how can the vassal officials neglect it?
Thinking of this, Concubine Yi felt a little heavy and said: "Mongolia is different from the Qing Dynasty. Now they are still directly related..."
Kangxi's expression became solemn after hearing this.
He allowed Tuxie Tubu to become the dominant branch because he wanted Tuxie Tubu to be close to the imperial court. In the future, this branch would be in the hands of the royal grandson.
Rather than raising the Tuxie Tuhan tribe who are not close to him.
After Concubine Yi said this, she started to blame herself and said: "Come out and leave well. I shouldn't mention these things. Xiaoliu's temperament follows the emperor's. He is smart and quick, so he will not suffer any loss..."
Kangxi nodded and said, "She is indeed more successful than her sisters."
Concubine Yi said: "That's also because the emperor taught him personally..."
Neither of them mentioned Guo Guiren, as if there was no such person...
Changchun Garden is only sixteen miles away from Baiwang Mountain. At this moment, Shu Shu and his party in front have arrived at Zhuangzi.
Xing Hai and his wife were already waiting outside Zhuangzi.
Because there were more and more chores in the village, Xinghai and his wife took the initiative to volunteer and returned to the village and became the heads of the village.
It was a pity that the ninth elder brother came because if Xing Hai followed his father to farm with the fourth elder brother, he might not be able to make a future in the end.
However, because Xing Hai lived in Zhuangzi since he was a child and rarely went to the city, his temperament was a bit dull and he was also reserved in front of others.
When I returned to Zhuangzi, I looked much better.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege got off the carriage, and Shi Fujin also got off the horse.
Looking at Zhuangzi in front of them, several people were curious.
Shu Shu said to them: "Now there are mainly poultry and livestock here, and there are also vegetable gardens. However, the good land is not occupied. The good land is still cultivated by tenants. There are only a few hundred acres of forest land at the foot of the mountain. Let's ask people to clear it out. There are several pig farms and chicken farms, and the sheep and deer are on the hillside. Let’s see where to start..."
I have never seen these Jiu Ge Ge, and said: "Anything is fine, Jiu Sister-in-law, you can arrange it."
The fourteenth elder brother said from the side: "Look at the chickens! When I get Zhuangzi later, I will ask people to raise chickens and raise thousands of them!"
Shu Shu motioned to Xing Hai and his wife to lead the way to a nearby chicken farmer's house.
It was an ordinary farmhouse, with the chicken coop at the back, blocked by a fence and fishing nets.
It's not as big as I thought. There are fifty or sixty chickens inside, most of them hens.
The fourteenth elder brother was the smartest. Seeing something was wrong, he came closer to Shu Shu and whispered: "Sister-in-law Ninth, that's not right. If we divide the eggs into each family like this, we can't tell how many eggs there are. What if they secretly lay them?" Woolen cloth?"
Shu Shu said: "Before letting them raise chickens, they all signed a contract. The village will provide seedlings and the tenants will raise them on their behalf. There are requirements for how much the chickens should be raised. If it is lower than this, they are not allowed to raise it. If it is higher than this, they are not allowed to raise it." Yes, there will be rewards, as will the number of eggs produced per month. There is an appropriate standard. If the number exceeds this standard, they will be purchased directly with money, which is considered their extra surplus; if the number is lower than this number, the reason must be verified. If it is the real reason Because of the tenants, compensation must be given..."
There is no way around this.
Now there is no way to directly produce line farming, which would be too risky.
Now it has become retail farming, which also reduces risks.
Brother Fourteen frowned and said: "In that case, the extra eggs will not become theirs? Taking the master's chicken and laying his own eggs, is this also greedy?"
When I was a teenager, I felt that the world was black and white, so I couldn't tolerate this.
The Thirteenth Brother is two years older. He has gained a lot of experience in the past few years. He said to the side: "In this way, they will not be raised in the lake. If they are raised well or badly, they will be the same." It’s time to sharpen your skills, I’m afraid it’s better to nourish the bad...”
Shu Shu said: "When the rules are set, it also depends on the person. Our Manager Xing is serious and responsible. He personally oversees the selection and management of farmers, and he also changes people in the process..."
Brother Fourteen disapproved and said: "You and Brother Ninth are still too lenient..."
