Kangxi wanted to send Brother Jiu down, but he hesitated when he thought that there was still a backlog of clothing materials from the Shunzhi Dynasty in the satin warehouse.
There are also all kinds of good things over there in Piku.
In addition to large woolen and small woolen materials, there are also various Western cloth, feather satin and other materials that come from the customs.
There are also some rhinoceros, ivory, mats and other items.
These are not things that are common in the harem. There are many things that go into the treasury and few things that come out of the treasury. They should be carefully inventoried and used or rewarded.
He nodded and said: "If you want good materials, you can take them out and prepare them for the Nine-Gate Envoy."
Brother Jiu agreed and withdrew, not pushing the envelope any further.
There are six warehouses in Guangchu Division, namely silver warehouse, porcelain warehouse, leather warehouse, satin warehouse, clothes warehouse and tea warehouse.
The bank treasury is the inner treasury.
The porcelain warehouse and the clothes warehouse are both for internal use and cannot be taken outside.
As for the tea warehouse, this is not suitable for adding to the dowry.
Brother Ninth felt that there was no need to digress, so he focused on buying a dowry.
This time he did not return to Beijing. He sent He Yuzhu to go and tell the twelfth elder brother that he should continue to count the leather treasury in the same way as before.
There are three accounts in total, one for the general ledger, one for the intact materials, and one for the materials that can be cleaned up.

This day, the eighth day of June, marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of three brothers and sisters.
Shu Shu did not serve wine and did not intend to entertain guests.
First, I didn’t want to show off, so I didn’t send out any posts in advance.
The second is that the three officials maintain heat and filial piety, and it is indeed not suitable for banquets.
But when the family comes over, they won’t stop him.
It's not like keeping filial piety seriously.
Not only Jue Luo Shi came, but Prince Kang Taifu Jin also came.
Needless to say, Wufujin could not move for eight months.
Even here in Sifujin, it has been seven months, and the family has returned to the city and no longer lives in Haidian.
Here in the royal family, the female scrolls that come here are Sanfujin, Qifuxin, Tenfujin and Jiugege.
Everyone was in the main room. The three brothers and sisters Fengsheng had grown up, they were plump and the cutest.
There was no other option except Akdan's selection of people. Fengsheng and Niguzhu passed through everyone's hands several times.
Because of Ni Guzhu's appearance, the sisters-in-law didn't have much time to hug her, so they could only have a close relationship with Fengsheng.
Taifujin, Prince Kang, held Ni Guzhu in his hands, looked at Akdan in Shushu's hand, grinning from ear to ear, and said to his two sisters-in-law: "The three children have grown up well, and none of them are left behind, so there is nothing wrong with them." Don’t worry.”
The "auspicious news" about the Ninth Prince has become old news, and not many people are paying attention to it, but there are those who are short-talking. At present, there is no new news coming from these brothers and sisters, so they just whisper small talk secretly.
The triplets may not be able to stand due to their weakness.
Although Prince Kang Taifujin knew it was untrue, he was also worried in his heart.
It is difficult to raise a child, and I am afraid that Akdan will not be able to stand up.
Now he looks almost like a normal child.
Mr. Jueluo was also filled with joy. He groped Niguzhu's little fat feet and said, "It's all because of the hard work of the old lady. She spends so much time staring at her, and only Shushu can raise her so well."
Mrs. Bo waved her hand and said: "It's not hard work. It's good now. I can still help. I finally didn't become an old loser."
She knew Shu Shu's filial piety, but without the support of these children, she would not have been able to live in the Prince's Mansion for so long with peace of mind.
Even if she is told to leave now, she doesn't feel comfortable leaving.
The parents looked calm and just watched.
Mr. Jueluo looked at Tai Fujin and said, "Chun Tai Fujin will be among the most beautiful girls next year. Are there any good ones?"
Tai Fujin nodded and said: "There are two families with a small family name in Zhenghongqi. When I go to the palace to pay my respects at the end of the year, I will ask the Queen Mother for a favor."
Mr. Jueluo didn't ask who his last name was.
The only thing that can be used with a small surname is the daughter of a high-ranking official with a middle-level noble background. There are not many choices.
As soon as I thought about it in my mind, I almost guessed it.
Chun Tai is the leader of the Zhenghong Banner. It is common practice to choose Fujin among the banner lords, and it is not a taboo.
As long as you don't compete with the royal family for a candidate, as long as you ask, this dignity will basically be given to you.
Mrs. Bo looked at Taifujin and said, "When my daughter-in-law comes in, my sister will be able to enjoy a happy life."
Tai Fujin smiled and said, "I'm just looking forward to having a fat grandson and a fat girl soon."
Shi Fujin was the youngest. He waited until the sisters-in-law took a turn before he hugged Fengsheng.
"Oh, our eldest brother is so good."
Shi Fujin hugged her carefully and couldn't move his eyes away. He felt cute everywhere, and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, didn't Brother Jiu say before that he could bring Fengsheng to live with us for a while? When will that be?"
Shu Shu said: "After one year old, after weaning, when you can eat."
There was nothing she couldn't bear to part with.
The two families are next to each other, just separated by a wall.
There are uncles and aunts, and the nannies and nannies are following them. Not to mention one, but all three of them, it doesn't matter.
Shi Fujin was convinced, and he was smiling happily, already thinking about how long it would be.
Qi Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said, "Are you willing to let go?"
Shu Shu said: "What's the reluctance to give up, and it's not from the side?"
Besides, it’s so easy to take care of children?
Sanfujin hummed and said: "I just say you are too lazy to take care of the children. Look at this little appearance. How does he look like a Nie? You are not satisfied with keeping the aunt, and you have to ask others to take care of the children?"
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "It's unfair. Why don't I do my best to achieve nirvana?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers and said, "Look, the nails are all clipped..."
As she said that, she pointed to her earlobe and said, "I've never worn ear pliers at home..."
She pointed to her face again: "I haven't applied enough of anything, just because I'm afraid it will infect some children..."
San Fujin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Is this hurting me? Are you beating around the bush? Humph!"
Shu Shu: "..."
She wanted to say that she was just talking smoothly and showing off her intentions, and she was really not trying to bully someone.
But looking at Sanfujin's long nails, looking at her three white jade plum blossom earrings, and smelling her rich fragrance, it's really a coincidence.
Qi Fujin laughed at the side and said: "Haha! You are usually smart, but are you stupid this time?"
Shi Fujin glanced at San Fujin's fingernails and said, "Sister-in-law Three, her nails are only half an inch long, so how are you going to hold the baby?"
Sanfujin said: "You can't hold the child all the time. It's time to lie down in the car."
Shi Fujin looked at Qi Fujin and said, "Sister-in-law Qi too?"
Qi Fujin touched his arm and said, "When are we going to separate, it's best not to hold her during the confinement period."
She just hugged her too much, and now her shoulders are very sore from the cloudy weather and rain.
Jiu Gege smiled beside him and pulled Feng Sheng's little hand.
Maybe what the sisters-in-law said made sense, but she still had to accept Sister-in-law Ninth's truth.
It was a small banquet, with no outsiders, and it was over after the meal.
When returning to the city, Tai Fujin pulled Jue Luo into his car and said, "Guangchang Fujin asked about Xiao Si's marriage a while ago..."
This is talking about a clan in Prince Kang's Mansion, the concubine of the late Huaimin Beile.
Prince Li Lie was from the big clan, and he was originally in the room at Huaimin Baylor.
Later, when that house lost its title, it was transferred to Chun Tai Ama's house.
Huaimin Beile was Chun Tai's cousin. He died young and died in his early twenties. He left behind six sons, the eldest was six years old, and the youngest legitimate son was a posthumous son.
Chun Tai Amma, who got the big gift, has been taking care of these young cousins.
These people are said to be Chun Tai's cousins and Taifu Jin's cousins.
Except for the legitimate son who was demoted to Beizi, the other people's titles were not high.
The Guangchang family is the fourth son of Huaimin Beile, born to a concubine, but his first wife is Dong E's daughter, and he is usually closer to Tai Fujin.
Now I'm asking Tai Fujin for news, and it turns out that the person who proposed the marriage is Guangchang Jifujin. His family background is not high, and the dowry is ordinary. It's kind of him to think of marrying his stepdaughter back to Dong E's family.
Jue Luo couldn't help but frown after hearing this. It wasn't because he disliked the low-ranking general Fengen's Mansion, which was the lowest rank in the clan, but because Guangchang had passed away. Such a Yue family couldn't help Xiaosi, but instead had Xiaosi take care of him. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law over there.
Jueluo Shi shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm cruel and don't care about family ties, but compared to his brothers, Xiaosi doesn't have a title or a worldly position. He needs the help of the Yue family. If there is no suitable person for this marriage, he won't be there." I'm looking for it at my old relatives, and I'll look for it at the civil servant's house later..."
Tai Fujin was just passing on a message. Naturally, his nieces and nephews were not as good as his nephews.
Seeing that Jue Luoshi gave the right words, she nodded and said: "Then I understand, let them look at other families later..."
*
The next day, the twelfth elder brother came to Changchun Garden and presented four account books.
"Huh? Are these all missing?"
Brother Jiu didn't open it, but compared the thickness of the account book, he was speechless and said: "This must be 20% of the inventory, right?"
"It should all be paid for by Yuqing Palace!"
Ninth Brother bared his teeth and said: "There are only a few masters in total who have used these good things?"
Here in Piku, Brother Jiu is not too worried about any disadvantages because of the special location.
It has two places in total. Piku and Jiaku are in the southwest corner of Taihe Hall; Yiku is in the east wing of Baohe Hall.
To collect things from these two places, you will be surrounded by guards and soldiers.
The fur and woolen materials are large, so they can't be easily carried around.
So the things that are lacking here can only be spent by Yuqing Palace.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you know what you are doing, you don't need to mention this, otherwise it will look like we are filing a complaint..."
At this point, he said: "But you can't just throw things away with just a greeting. You have to be on guard against someone moving things around under the banner of Yuqing Palace. After you go back, tell Guangzhou Si Langzhong and go back to Yuqing Palace." The expenses of the Qing Palace must be kept in a separate register, and the eunuchs and stewards who come to collect the funds must also complete the procedures."
The twelfth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "Ninth brother, the prince will be unhappy if he knows too many rules."
Brother Jiu couldn't help frowning and said: "I'm not stopping you from paying anything. I'm just paying the account. What if it's all in vain and someone fishes in troubled waters later? It's okay. Just do as I say."
He behaves openly and honestly. If the prince is not happy to file a complaint, then he is "not asking for it".
As for whether Khan Amma is happy to be invaded or not, that is none of his business.
It is only natural that this son should take advantage of me.
If you give him this dignity, he will take it.
The twelfth elder brother nodded.
Brother Jiu looked at the account book in his hand and had no intention of continuing to make a petition to the emperor.
To avoid suspicion, forget it.
Just follow the example of Satin Library.
He pointed to the damaged copy and said, "Take out the silver rat skin and trade it in..."
Ermine leather is the worst leather in the leather library, and it is a small leather. Even if it is damaged, it can be reused by cutting and splicing it.
"A silver rat skin coat is added to the clan daughter's side, and a silver rat skin vest is added to the Jueluo girl's side. They are also decent clothes..."
The remaining large hair can be saved to make a hat.
As for Western materials, they cannot be discounted and are not cost-effective.
Brother Twelve wrote it down.
After the brothers finished talking about business, the twelfth elder brother said: "Brother Ninth, thank you Xigua..."
This is talking about a cart of watermelons delivered to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every three days.
The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in front of the Forbidden City, not in the inner court, so it is more convenient to send things.
Brother Jiu asked someone to deliver the watermelon here.
Give it to the twelfth elder brother, and let him reward others with the extra money.
The ninth elder brother said: "In the future, you will stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time, and you will have to train a few people to recruit them smoothly. You are a little elder brother. You don't need to be rewarded with money, but you can be rewarded with a watermelon." I'll make two boxes of cakes or something in the dining room, it'll be a favor at no cost."
After hearing this, Brother Twelve hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "Didn't I say that I would benefit without any expense?"
The twelfth elder brother said: "Trouble, don't want to."
Brother Jiu knew that he had such a temperament and didn't like to deal with others, so he didn't force him, so he thought about it and said: "Then if you are not sure when hiring people, just ask Zhang Baozhu, who is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs A little longer.”
The twelfth elder brother agreed.
In this early-season weather, having come all the way out of the city, Jiu Age would naturally not ask someone to go back in the middle of the day under the sun.
He took his twelfth brother back to Beifu Institute...
