West Garden, Tuoyuan Bookstore. The prince came back and went directly to the princess. The Crown Princess stood up respectfully, her face was dull, and she could not tell whether she was happy or angry.
The prince felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it. He thought of Brother Ninth's showing off just now. I had heard that Dong E served Brother Jiu carefully, but I didn't expect him to be so meticulous.
She keeps everything separate and doesn't say anything. She loves her family very much and is very considerate when dealing with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Where is the Crown Princess here? There is no need to be picky about the outside world. It is determined that he is no worse than the Dong E family, otherwise he will not be liked by the elders and respected by his peers.
But what about internally? Does she take so much care of herself? The prince took his seat and looked at the princess with scrutiny.
The Crown Princess looked back directly, her eyes calm and her face calm. The prince said: "I bothered Brother Jiu and Jiu Fujin about Aktun's affairs last time. This year's birthday ceremony for them can be postponed." The princess was surprised. She didn't expect that the prince would think of this.
Although she had been given extra time for the 100-day gift, it was really not a reward, but an apology. Since the prince was thinking about this, of course she was happy to see it come to fruition. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take note of it." The prince thought about the fact that he had asked people to check the warehouse of Yuqing Palace. Where could there be twenty-two ivory mats?
There were only nine beds left in total, and the rest were reported as lost and disappeared without a trace. The prince fell down in anger and sent two of the eunuchs in charge of the warehouse to the Shenxing Department.
But this loss is difficult to recover. This ivory mat has been around for more than ten years, and the stolen money has been squandered.
The prince rubbed his temples. Yuqing Palace's accounts were in chaos and could not continue like this. He made a decision, looked at the Crown Princess and said, "I will ask someone to send over the account books and keys of Yuqing Palace and Xiefang Palace. The Crown Princess will arrange manpower to take charge of the daily expenses of the two places." Well, let's arrange for someone to take over the warehouse, so that this slave will not take advantage of the loophole and deceive the superiors and subordinates, and I will take the blame." After hearing this, the Crown Princess looked serious and looked at the Prince.
Although she was very disappointed with the prince and was not very optimistic about the prospects of Yuqing Palace, she still had three children and was raising her third brother, so she naturally did not want her two children to be implicated by the prince.
She said: "If you need daily necessities in the future, I will arrange the manpower to pay for them, and I will follow the rules." The prince was startled and said, "Isn't that what it should be? Is there anyone who doesn't follow the rules?" The Crown Princess Looking at the prince, he said: "As a rule, the prince's daily meal supply is only pork. In addition to pigs, mine also includes goose and chicken..." The prince frowned, what's for today's breakfast?
Feilong dried soup, dried deer tongue, and sea cucumber roasted with green onions... He looked at the Crown Princess and his expression became serious.
Those are not his examples, but the minions spend it at will. Are they just using his banner to greedy ink, or are they
"Praise to kill"? However, these ingredients, which are not listed in the quota, were also given by Khan Amma in the early years and allowed him to use them freely.
The prince was a little confused. He looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Besides the food, what else is inappropriate?" The Crown Princess's eyes fell on the Prince's clothes.
It's just regular clothes, but it's half-embroidered. The prince's face tightened, remembering that he was the only one among the prince's elder brothers just now.
"glossy". With a look of shame and annoyance on his face, he looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Then it's all as usual!" The Crown Princess nodded and said nothing else.
The prince couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and left, feeling very restless. Have you become a big fool... *Beiwu Institute, Si Age waited for half an hour, and Xiaotang finished writing the recipe.
Brother Si took the recipe and left Beishuo. Brother Jiu was tired for a long time and immediately returned to the main courtyard. Shu Shu was lying in the east room reading a storybook. There was an old coarse cloth mat spread on the kang.
Seeing Brother Ninth Brother come back, Shu Shu stood up, looked outside, and said: "This is the hottest time, and Fourth Master is riding back to the city. It's enough to suffer." Brother Ninth Sitting down, he also lay down crookedly. , curled his lips and said: "I kept him for a while before leaving. I couldn't keep him, so he went to Yutian." After that, he told the situation at the dinner table and said: "Look, he is so energetic. Madu couldn't stand it anymore, so she advised him to learn from me. You said that this person's energy has a certain amount, and it is always so tense. He doesn't know how to relax. How can he bear it?" At this point, he lowered his voice and said, Said: "This is not the way to live a long life." Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and really felt that he was growing up a little too fast.
Not only will you look at the present, but you will also look at the future. Brother Ninth again talked about the situation of other people at the dinner table and said: "Ahma Khan is very satisfied with the third brother. The third brother is doing his job well this time. Ahma Khan still likes to be a down-to-earth errand." "Old Ten is not bad, at least everyone knows that he does not live in chaos, and he still cares about the errands that should be taken care of. Khan Ama can answer everything he asks..." When he arrived at the eighth prince, he was a little weird. Said: "The righteousness he said was so awe-inspiring. Looking at it, I thought he had become 'Chang Youli', but what's the big news in the Ministry of Punishment? Listening to what Khan Ama meant, I was very worried about Brother Ba's random punches, but he also There is no objection, someone in the Punishment Department really violated the law? In the eyes of Eighth Prince..." Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but a word came to his mind,
"Killing the white duck". so-called
"Killing the white duck" means finding someone to take the blame in a death penalty case. The real culprit escaped, and the culprit became a death row prisoner, just like a white duck waiting to be killed, so he became a white duck.
This kind of eucalyptus mostly occurs in remote provinces, such as Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, Shaanxi and Gansu.
There are fewer of them in prosperous areas like Zhili and Jiangnan. Among them, Dingming bribed local officials.
However, the review of death penalty is in the Ministry of Punishment, so some of the more obvious major cases have to continue to travel to the capital.
This should be the biggest incident that the Ministry of Punishment can be involved in. Because for every white duck that is detected, it is okay that no one is executed. The ministry is not involved, only the local officials who handle it are involved. If the white duck that is executed is found, the officials in charge of death penalty review at the Ministry of Punishment will also be held responsible.
This is an offending job, why would Eighth Prince choose this? Brother Jiu didn't expect the review of death row prisoners to be here, so he thought about it and said: "There are really many places where the Ministry of Punishment can make money. This is the reduction and exemption of prisoners below the rod punishment, but the Ministry of Punishment's reduction of grade and self-determination; there are also prison sentences In the Department of Prison Clothing, Prison Food, and Medicine Purchase, there is money and water; not to mention the stolen goods and punishment treasury, there are many places to consider the stolen money and stolen goods; there is also the Atonement Department, which also needs to handle money..." He was in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last. The Punishment Department has been reading the files for a month. In addition to gaining knowledge, the Punishment Department has also learned a lot about it.
After he said this, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect him to be quite courageous. He is a person who doesn't like to offend others, but now he takes the initiative." Shu Shu was noncommittal.
The Eighth Prince looked down upon those people, and those who involved money were just making small fuss. Since Kangxi wanted to give more instructions, besides
"Killing a white duck", there is no other alternative. No matter what the eighth prince's starting point is, this is a good thing.
Shu Shu said: "The eighth elder brother has also been working in the six departments for several years. He should have his own considerations when he chooses to start from the criminal department. I just wait and see the results." The ninth elder brother nodded and said: "That's right, I will definitely not interfere. He, just thinking about how big the benefit is, if he can even ignore his good popularity, it must be a big benefit." Although he wouldn't try to destroy it, he didn't want Ba Age to suffer.
He sighed and said to Shu Shu: "I know you shouldn't think like this, it's unkind, but when I see how fake he is, I don't want him to get better." Shu Shu said: "What's the point? Master It's better, isn't it?" Ninth Brother understood the meaning of Shu Shu's words, turned over and sat up, and said: "But is there anything else that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can do to make contributions?" Shu Shu lowered his voice and said: "Do you know that Fusong went to Fengtai to collect milk?" Brother Jiu nodded. It has been several days. The milk is fresh milk every day and was delivered to Beiwu Institute around the beginning of the morning.
The daily quantity is quite large, weighing two to three hundred kilograms. Some of these milks are dried into milk powder, and some are directly made into milk tofu.
For this reason, Beiwusuo's charcoal was used up very quickly, and Shu Shu also sent people to buy several carts of charcoal in a nearby town.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Maybe he has a way of making meritorious deeds." It turned out that Fusong came over yesterday and said that the pox cow had been found, and he bought it and sent it to Baiwangshan Village.
Brother Jiu knew that Shu Shu didn't talk empty words, so he hurriedly said: "What is it?" Shu Shu said it.
"I met an old woman in Nanyuan when I was a child", and then said: "I just think that human pox is still a bit dangerous, and I couldn't bear Fengsheng and the others to take risks, so I remembered this incident. At that time, the old woman only had pox on her hands. Yin, I heard that in just a few days, I didn't have much fever, but if I get acne years later, I'll be fine." Brother Jiu's eyes widened.
"But if the pox was transmitted from cow to human, wouldn't it have been transmitted long ago?" If that were the case, wouldn't humans be in danger too?
Not only should we guard against human-to-human transmission, but we should also guard against animal-to-human transmission. In recent years, the epidemic of pox in the capital has been reduced. It is no longer like in the past. There is one every autumn and winter, and wealthy people have to go out of the capital to avoid pox.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "I guess you can't catch it easily. It's not like smallpox. It won't work if you touch it. It should be infected through wounds or other things, and it becomes a natural vaccinia." ." She remembered clearly that smallpox had been eliminated in her previous life, and only the laboratory remained.
As for the smallpox vaccine, it seems to be inoculated into a small cross-cut wound on the arm, which is called
"Vaccination", also called
"Planting flowers", several generations before the 1990s had this flower on their arms. Ninth elder brother
He stood up excitedly, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Vaccinium cannot be promoted because the casualties are too heavy and the cost is too high. If the pox of a cow with pox can really become a vaccine, how many people can be inoculated from one cow?" ?" Vaccines of variola are collected from smallpox patients and are highly toxic. Vaccines collected after vaccination are called
"Mature seedlings" are less toxic, but the price is also higher. Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth, and it seemed that Brother Ninth still valued human life more.
Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing, and danced: "The vaccine was cultivated for only 50% of the previous silver, and we also distributed it..."
