Brother Jiu didn't take the order and handed it to Shu Shu directly. His face looked a little ugly and he said, "Did someone cheat on the injured soldier Qian Mi?"
It is true that the Eight Banners is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but this foundation is no longer suitable for use at the moment. The Green Camp is the pillar of stability in the world.
Shu Shu's family is in the Dutong Mansion, and he knows that the imperial court treats soldiers very well, not only to the Eight Banners soldiers, but also to the Green Camp.
Every year, the money used by the imperial court to support soldiers accounted for 40% of taxes, which was military pay and pension money.
Last year during her southern tour, when she passed by Green Camp, she heard Xiao Song mention a specific pension policy.
If someone dies in battle, his family will be given a full salary for three years, and one of his sons will be enrolled in the army to receive pay.
If there is no son, the parents and wife will live with half the salary.
If he is disabled, he will also be given food as a soldier. I have an Anjia silver of seven and a half taels to thirty taels of silver, as well as three bushels of rice per month until the end of my life.
Shu Shu said: "It's probably not that someone cheated me out of money, but that most of it was spent on medicine."
Three buckets of rice was barely enough to feed his family, but he could not feed his wife and children, nor could he take care of his illness.
When General Shi subsidizes the remaining soldiers, he should use the money to support his family or money for medicine.
No wonder he didn't have the nerve to find the Dutong Mansion as a matchmaker. He knew that Brother Jiu had made a fortune, and he was stupid and had a lot of money, so he came to "eat the rich".
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Are you a fool? Are you just waiting for him to come and take over the big family!"
Shu Shu looked at the list above carefully.
Yongxing Tea Brick, Anyuan Tea, and Lushan Tea are three famous teas from Jiangxi, as well as two edible products, Qianshan Xianggugan and Poyang Dried Shrimp, a famous Nanfeng Fan, and Wannian Hongmaowei and Xishan Gebu are two specialties.
Shu Shu sighed, handed it to Brother Jiu and said, "They can all be used, please take a look."
Even though she knew she should set a rule and stop purchasing immediately, she couldn't bear to start with Mr. Shi.
Brother Jiu looked at it briefly, thought for a while, and said: "These are all tributes that are usually difficult to buy. Let's keep them. But this is the last time. I can't always be a big fool and insist on being stared at and chewed on." A few mouthfuls.”
For a second-grade general soldier to do this for the sake of money, it also shows that he is an upright official.
Otherwise, how can we not scrape together several thousand taels of silver?
The couple had plenty of money, so they were not short of money and had no worries.
Shu Shu did not object and only said: "This is also misunderstood. They think that our family specializes in buying specialties from other places at high prices. Let He Yuzhu tell the public tomorrow that we are not short of anything and will not buy anything."
Brother Jiu nodded, glanced at Shu Shu, and said: "Don't worry, I understand the importance of things. I still understand the principle of 'kindness comes first'."
He is not the eldest brother and does not need to run the military force.
These disabled and old soldiers are not only found in the Green Camp, but also in the Eight Banners. Now they have become the lowest level.
Compared with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Eight Banners needed workshops and factories to house these disabled veterans.
But he just thought about it and let it go.
As the same saying goes, if he is not in his position and does not seek to achieve his goals, this is not a problem that he should worry about.
The officials at the Ministry of War and the Eight Banners Administrative Office have their own people to worry about.
The next day, it was not He Yuzhu who went to the houses of these two adults, but Fu Song who brought the accountant there.
Here, the Gao family only bought snuff bottles and agarwood, which were twice the market price, and then paid for them with a deduction of twelve taels of dendrobium.
Yes, Fusong came here today and brought two cans of dendrobium.
Including yesterday's jar, that's twelve taels of dendrobium.
If you have no relatives or friends, it is better to have clear accounts, so when settling the accounts, you should include yesterday's account together.
Gao Chengjue, the governor of Guangdong, who has now been transferred to the governor of Anhui, said hurriedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. I just wanted to ask for medicine, so I bothered Master Jiu."
It seems that the governors of the two provinces were transferred at the same level, but from the remote Guangdong and Guangxi to Jiangnan, it was considered a promotion.
Fusong, however, was unceremonious. He straightened his chin and said coldly: "Master Gao, stop trying to shirk it. Master Jiu has said it. It's just these two times, there won't be a fourth time."
Governor Gao chatted.
He really didn't go there for the "double price", but he also knew Brother Jiu's scruples and didn't want to be suspected of blackmailing the courtiers.
Fortunately, he brought back only one pound of agarwood and only five snuff bottles, otherwise the money would have been too hot to handle.
After converting it into silver, he was asked to come up with another one or two or eight coins to make up for Shi Hu's account.
After that, Fusong went to Shi's house again.
This time I bought a lot of things, almost everything on the list.
When he met Shi Ruhuang, Fusong also had a bad expression, and still looked arrogant, saying: "Master Jiu said that this is the last time he comes to the Lord. It is true that Master Jiu has money, but he is not a big fool. Lord Shi." It’s not kind to take advantage of others’ misfortune!”
Shi Ruhuang felt heavy in his heart as he held the 4,800 taels of banknotes.
He went there to take advantage, but he didn't expect Brother Jiu to actually charge double the price and wrap up these things!
Just thinking that it is higher than the consignment price is good.
He felt his hands were burning, and was about to think of some excuse to retreat when Fusong had already mounted his horse and was calling people to leave.
Brother Jiu had suffered such a "big loss", so he had to report it to the emperor.
He took the two orders and went directly to Qingxi Bookstore to see them.
The position of Gao has been decided, but the position of Shi has not yet been decided.
If his future was delayed because of this matter, then he really couldn't bear it.
He had been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years, and he finally understood that there were so many corrupt officials.
Even if you are not greedy, you can still lose a lot if you change your methods.
It's rare to find someone like Shi Ruhuang who is not very greedy but looks poor.
Kangxi didn't know that the ninth elder brother was "purchasing" with two local officials again. He was surprised to hear that the ninth elder brother came to visit him.
I originally thought that Brother Ninth, who was always squeamish, would take a few days off as an excuse to recuperate.
"Pass it on!"
He nodded and said to Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong responded and brought people in.
Brother Ninth had a somewhat honest face and held two folded pages in his hand.
Kangxi saw his guilty conscience and was very puzzled. What else was going on?
I went out for half a day yesterday and called the imperial doctor in the afternoon. I didn't have time to go out and wander around anymore.
Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi sincerely and said: "Khan Ama, my son is here to admit his mistake."
Kangxi snorted coldly: "What did you do again?"
Brother Jiu drooped his head: "My son seems to be driving up prices. I heard that the prices of dendrobium and panax notoginseng have increased in the city these days. If this delays ordinary people's medication, it will really be my son's fault."
Kangxi: "..."
It's true that it works well, but Brother Jiu doesn't have that much influence in the capital yet.
On the other hand, he was told that the imperial physician prepared dendrobium tea, and he had been drinking it these past few days. He also mentioned the health-preserving effects of dendrobium to several ministers.
This time, it seems that Brother Jiu has taken the blame...
Seeing that Brother Ninth felt really guilty, Kangxi felt quite strange. He coughed lightly and said, "It was an unintentional mistake on your part. Just change it..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "My son has a long memory. It won't be the fourth time. If someone comes to hand over a post, he will directly return the post and tell the person that there is nothing to buy. If they bring something good again, If you want to exchange money, you can go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs it, it will be settled according to the market price."
Kangxi sensed something was wrong, pointed at his hand and said, "Is this the second or third time?"
Brother Jiu did not deny it, handed over the two orders, and said: "It was my son who directly intercepted and bought Tuyi. I guess he was misunderstood. I thought about canceling the post directly, but it turned out that this inquiry revealed the inside story." , my son became soft-hearted."
As he said that, he talked about the post he received yesterday, and then asked He Yuzhu to cancel the post.
Needless to say, filial sons need not be mentioned here. Everyone has parents, and the shortage of dendrobium does have something to do with Jiu Age.
Here, Mr. Shi, Brother Jiu said a few more words.
"I should have directly established the rules, but my son couldn't bear it for a moment. He is also a second-grade official. He can't let others fail if he shamelessly fights Qiu Feng..."
Kangxi's face turned dark as he listened.
I've only heard of princes blackmailing ministers, but I've never heard of ministers "blackmailing" the prince's brother in return!
No matter what stance you take, this is disrespectful.
He looked at Brother Ninth and frowned: "Since you knew you were taking advantage, you just kicked him out. Why are you still condoning it?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's not condoning. My son asked Fusong to go over and train someone. I made it clear to that person that there will be no next time."
Kangxi: "..."
So after giving me the money, I still have to add extravagance to the situation, and the favor has not been lost? !
He looked at Brother Ninth and pondered: "This is a member of the Crown Princess's tribe. Are you caring about the Crown Princess's favor?"
Brother Jiu knew that he nodded to save trouble at this time, but he still shook his head and said: "My son feels that although this person is thick-skinned, he is not a corrupt official, and he is also a rare person. He was born in a noble family and is used to being rich. He can still think about ordinary things." The livelihood of a pawn, I am willing to put down my face and career and come to camp..."
"It's just this time. If you suffer a loss, take advantage of it. Just like burning incense and praying to Buddha, accumulate blessings and bless Khan Ama to live forever, the royal grandmother to be immortal, the empress to live to a hundred years, and also bless Fengsheng and the others to have a good life. big……"
Kangxi listened, his expression softened a little, and said: "Those remnant soldiers are not old soldiers of the Green Camp. They are the armored ones who were born under the Shi family. If the Green Camp soldiers were originally from this place, they would not follow them back to the capital..."
Brother Jiu was surprised.
"That's the slave he raised for himself!?"
There was a tangle on his face, and he felt like he was letting the other party take advantage.
Kangxi looked at him, snorted coldly, and said: "The person who inquires has only a little knowledge and makes random decisions."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Then why is it so shabby? He Yuzhu inquired yesterday and said that those people's food and money were provided by the Shi family. If the servants of this household have made contributions, can't they open an account? To open an account, you need to divide the house and the flag field. , why do you need the master’s supplement for this food and drink?”
The people under the household are servants and soldiers, which is also the old custom of the Eight Banners.
For example, Komatsu's Ama Heishan was born as a servant.
Kangxi's expression was not good-looking. It was clearly stated in the "Eight Banners Regulations" that flag properties were not allowed to be resold, but he clearly remembered the document registration of the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
There has been a sale of flag properties for a long time.
More and more people have lost their property and become poor households in the capital. Their livelihood is difficult. Those who are fed by their masters are lucky...
