Shu Shu was speechless when he saw Brother Jiu's reaction. This person thinks about the money economy all day long, and everything involves money.
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, seeing that Shu Shu didn't respond, he said: "Don't worry, I understand the importance. We can't live alone with such a huge profit. It happened that Khan Ama left a principal of 500,000 taels and used that silver as capital. , try first to see if it works, and if it works, just raise pox cows and send them to various places." Shu Shu said: "Based on the current price of pox vaccine at 50%, it will cost four or five taels of silver per vaccine, and the common people are still They can't afford it, let alone poor families." Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Then we will divide it into three, six or nine levels. Orphans in charity halls are free, 50% to 50% for ordinary people's families, and 50% for gentry families. Shu Shu said: "Have you ever estimated how many people there are in the Qing Dynasty?" Brother Jiu said: "Last year, there were 20,410,896 people in Ding. If you calculate it as one Ding and four people, that's a total of The number of people is more than 81,640,000..." As long as one-tenth of the people are vaccinated, it will start with tens of millions of taels of silver!
How much are the taxes in the world right now? Brother Jiu was worried and said: "You shouldn't be able to accept these, right?" Shu Shu stroked his forehead and said: "Sir, this is the merit of thousands of families to have Buddhas. It is an opportunity for the emperor to benefit the people. It is not easy to raise money. The people of this world They are all the emperor's subjects. Only the emperor cares for the common people. There is no reason to blatantly exploit the common people." Brother Jiu sat by the kang, looked at Shu Shu and said: "I understand what you mean, this contribution is too great. Only Khan Amma can bear the responsibility. Khan Amma is the emperor, so he cannot withdraw money, otherwise he will be criticized." Shu Shu nodded and said, "If it works, Fengsheng and the others will be less in danger. Xiaoqi and Shiba are also going to be vaccinated next year." Those are the elders of Jue Luo and Yi Fei, and it would be unbearable to have to deal with the vaccination.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "If you think about it this way, you won't lose if you don't take advantage; but if you don't take advantage, I will feel uncomfortable, so why give it away for free?" Shu Shu said: "The emperor has always been fair, even if I don't take full credit for this matter , I should also be able to make a note of it. Then when I get a knighthood, there may be no reward." After hearing this, Ninth Brother immediately said: "Then let Fusong keep an eye on this matter. Ye Beile is stable and can easily It won't be given to the county king, and there is fifth brother on top. Even if this achievement comes to me, Khan Ama will take credit for it. It would be better if it falls on Fusong, who can get a big benefit." Shu Shu originally wanted to use it. This is in exchange for Akdan's future.
It's just that if a woman stands out, she will be too eye-catching, which can easily cause Kangxi's displeasure, and the current peaceful days will be gone forever.
Only then did I want to push it to Brother Jiu and Fu Song. But what Brother Jiu said is also true. Kangxi would not let the ninth elder brother have a higher title than the fifth elder brother, nor would he make all their brothers kings. The one who would be suppressed was the ninth elder brother.
If you really want to exchange cowpox for merit, it would be more appropriate to wait until the next emperor. When the time comes, all the brothers who are emperors will become members of the clan, and there will be no need to take care of the fifth elder brother.
But now, in addition to power, we also have to weigh the pros and cons. The biggest benefit is to have a few children who are less dangerous.
Shu Shu said: "Let me weigh it, or else I will make it clear to the emperor and transfer this credit to Akdan." If the ninth elder brother has always been Baylor, when Akdan grows up, he will be awarded the title. , with excellent grades in all three categories, is a second-class general who governs the country.
If you go up two levels, you will not be able to enter the eighth auxiliary state. If the ninth prince is granted the title of county king, Akdan will be the first-class general of the country, and the two grades above will be the duke of the eighth-level town.
Brother Ninth immediately nodded and said, "That's good. Even if we want to capture Fusong, we have to take the majority, otherwise we'll feel uncomfortable if we don't turn around." Shu Shu was also worried about this.
A great favor turns into an enemy, it talks about the human heart. The couple had a plan and talked about experimenting.
"It's hard for us to try this. Human life is at stake and it's detrimental to moral integrity. Let's ask Khan Ama to try it..." Brother Jiu said.
Shu Shu nodded, this kind of thing can only be done through the selection test among death row inmates. Some of them are not evil and did not kill intentionally. If you participate in this, you will have multiple opportunities to reduce your grade, and you will get the best of both worlds.
Otherwise, how can we ask people to try it when we get to them? No matter how great the credit was, no matter how great a life was lost.
Brother Jiu is an impatient person. Now that he knows this, why is he still willing to wait? The next day, he sent someone to call Fu Song, asked Fu Song clearly, and then took Fu Song to Qingxi Bookstore.
Fusong didn't find it strange. If he wanted to determine whether cowpox could be used as a vaccine, he would have to alert the emperor. This kind of acne test still depends on the doctors here at the Imperial Hospital.
*In the Qingxi Bookstore, it is the scene of a loving father and a filial son. The prince is here too, and he is here to admit his mistake today. He didn't hide it, nor did he shirk responsibility.
"Erchen's place, you don't know if you don't check it. When you check it, you will be shocked. Because of the Erchen Lake Tu, it has become a moth's nest. Not only do you receive a lot of utensils, but you also receive a lot of food and clothing materials. But how many of them are missing?" When it comes to the sons and ministers, they almost got greedy, and the account cannot even be investigated..."
"My son, I was wrong. I didn't cultivate myself and my family. Instead, I was deceived and manipulated by these servants..."
"The Crown Princess is a virtuous person. She tried to persuade her ministers a few years ago. At that time, my ministers were arrogant and could not listen to the truth..."
"Not to mention other things, just the ivory mat, there are twenty-two beds, but only nine beds are left. This ratio is shocking..."
"The wear and tear of these annual reports in Yuqing Palace is more than just a few ivory mats..." At this point, he sighed and said: "No wonder Emperor Shizu abandoned the eunuchs. The eunuchs were of humble origin, became greedy, and became even bolder; And here in Baoyi, the royal favor is too great, which makes them lose their sense of awe. The third elder brother had previously exposed the accounting department's nest, and it was also because these people had gone too far and showed signs of turning against customers. Khan Ah Ma Chunqiu was at its peak, Qian Gang was arbitrary, and these coats of clothes were so bold. When there are young masters or cowardly emperors in later generations, the Forbidden City will be in their hands..." Kangxi was very pleased, and the thing was dead. Yes, people are alive.
It would be a good thing if the loss of a dozen ivory mats could enlighten the prince. Seeing the prince's frustration, Kangxi couldn't bear it and said: "I don't blame you, I just blame these slaves for being brave. They have so many selfish motives to instigate you to alienate the prince and seek profit from it. They have been playing tricks on the master. Now you find out." It's not too late. The Crown Princess was personally selected by the Empress Dowager and me. She has good conduct and good character. You can live a good life in the future." The Crown Prince nodded and said: "My son should have reflected on himself long ago. He was a slave before. People are doing this, being extravagant without knowing it, and it becomes a cover for them to amass money and be greedy for money. It is really shameful." Kangxi said: "Every time you take a cut, you gain wisdom. You should also be careful about the people around you, and you will be fooled by the people around you. If you lose your eyes and ears, what you see and hear may not be true. Isn't that even more frightening?" The father and son were talking. Next to them, Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu both lowered their heads and breathed lightly, pretending to be Pillars.
The eunuchs in the Yuqing Palace were corrupt, what happened to the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace? But when the prince spoke, he swept across a large area and regarded all the eunuchs as one.
Where can I make sense...* Outside Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu heard that the prince was there, so he didn't ask anyone to report him, and took Fusong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for check-in.
When he arrived at the check-in room and there were no outsiders, he whispered to Fusong: "You can't let the prince know about this matter. Khan Ama is partial to the prince, so you shouldn't let the prince keep an eye on this matter. Isn't that giving credit to the prince?" An ordinary prince cannot bear this credit, but the prince can, and he will secure his throne.
In that case, Brother Jiu will be furious. Only then did Fusong understand why Brother Jiu asked him carefully about the pox cow, and why he still wanted to see him.
This...if it happens, it can indeed be credited. Fusong said: "I'd better not go there. Mr. Jiu, you can go and report it yourself. I don't think it's a big contribution. I just ran an errand. Without me, if I had replaced the eunuch running errands around my sister, I could have found this with some effort." ." Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "I took you there for my own purpose. In addition to registering in front of the emperor, I also wanted you to directly keep an eye on the follow-up. I can't keep an eye on you!" Fusong said: "Nine. Master, can't you just keep an eye on it for three or five months? It's a good thing. If you don't make the king in the future, it will be good to pass it on to your nephew." Just like the corn and potatoes before, if Brother Jiu is more diligent , there is no need to share the work with Si Age at all.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "What do you want to do with this full power? I am not a prince. If thousands of families have Buddhas, that is not a good thing. They may even go to the west." At this time, there was movement outside. Liang Jiugong is here.
It turns out that the prince has left. Kangxi heard that Brother Nine was coming and asked someone to tell him. Brother Jiu didn't rush out and said, "I got some good things a while ago, and I left one for Shuda. I haven't spoken to him alone." As he said that, he took out a snuff bottle from his pocket and said, " "Shuda, look at it..." It's a Western snuff bottle made of pure gold and enamel, with a blond beauty with her breasts exposed on it.
Liang Jiugong didn't know whether he should accept it or not, so he smiled and said, "Master Jiu, please just tease me." Brother Jiu put it into his hand directly and said, "You're welcome, this is specially reserved for Shuda." The same goes for the eunuch. Man, who hasn't had a bit of fun yet?
There is no taboo in looking at a Western beauty. Liang Jiugong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to say thank you. Brother Jiu glanced at Liang Jiugong and had a question in his mind, but he did not ask it in front of Liang Jiugong.
That is the problem of eunuchs getting wives. According to historical records, eunuchs in all dynasties have married wives. It was recorded in the Han Dynasty, and recorded in the official history of the Tang Dynasty.
"All high-ranking eunuchs can marry and start a family." It was prohibited by law in the Ming Dynasty, but after the Yingzong period, many eunuchs got married.
This eunuch's marriage is not in accordance with the Yin and Yang principles and is not a good thing. I don’t know if there is such a thing in the Qing Dynasty.
If it really happens, Khan Amma cannot tolerate it...
