Chapter 826: Fishy Monthly Ticket)(2/2)
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother and said with hatred: "Is the uncle marrying the nephew, or the son marrying me? If you keep him, fifth brother, when the Shengjing family comes, how will your life in the house be?"
Can it stop?"
The fifth elder brother also knows far and near.
Brother Jiu's face also drooped, and he said: "Anyway, my brother is not going to take any notice of Guo Luoluo's family when they return to Beijing. That means they are no longer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Otherwise, it won't be over until we clean it up! What if, Fifth Brother?"
If you are soft-hearted, I will be annoyed!"
The fifth elder brother couldn't help but patted him angrily and said: "Are you closer to brothers or uncles and nephews? If I don't favor you, who will I favor?"
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "No wonder all the clan members who can't reach me are thinking about borrowing money from me. I was wondering before, can I borrow it? Even if I really get Khan Ama's five hundred thousand taels
Subsidy has nothing to do with them, so how can you be so shy? It turns out that the root is in Shengjing! Why did Khan Ama completely ban the clan’s collection of ginseng? Isn’t it because of the value of ginseng in recent years? What’s the result? They designated that
They were banned from picking ginseng, and I took advantage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to monopolize a large portion of it. That's why I am so angry and want to share the profit in the name of borrowing money..."
According to the old rules, the clan can send people to collect ginseng, Prince Heshuo can send 140 people, and the lowest general Feng En can send 15 people.
Each of these people received a ginseng ticket and could follow them into the mountains to collect ginseng. The ginseng they collected would be owned by the prince after paying a small amount of tax.
Nowadays, a pound of good ginseng costs more than sixty taels of silver, which is an ordinary amount of two or thirty taels.
Picking ginseng is like picking up money, naturally the more the better.
The clan members wished they could have their men in the mountains twelve months a year.
As a result, the ginseng pickers at the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot pay the full amount of ginseng.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs' annual human body mass production has dropped from nearly 2,000 kilograms per year to more than 800 kilograms.
Therefore, last year the palace issued an order to stop collecting ginseng for the clan.
The fifth elder brother also understood, stared, and said: "Outside, people think that you arranged for the boss to toss the ginseng, and you collected the money..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Why else would they be thinking about getting money from me!"
The fifth elder brother was not happy anymore, and said: "No wonder they arranged for Guiyuan to enter the mountain. Otherwise, how could Guiyuan be white? The prince who came out of the study to accompany him, even a seventh-grade writing style of the Shengjing Internal Affairs Bureau could not
Do you want to make up for it?”
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "So why do people like this bother them? Guiyuan is not just anyone else, he is also their cousin!"
The more they suppress Gui Yuan, the more Brother Jiu wants to lift him up.
"I said in front of the emperor that I would redeem it for Gui Yuan. When the time comes, Gui Yuan will directly serve as a bodyguard for me..."
There are no more Wen Que in the Prince's Mansion, but it doesn't matter, there are still a lot of empty Guard Ques.
The fifth elder brother had no objection.
Of course he remembered Gui Yuan, who was the most honest and obedient among his younger brother's friends. He thought he could be at his disposal for a long time, but in the end he asked Guo Luoluo's family to take him back to Shengjing.
It's getting late, so it's time to go late.
Brother and sister-in-law are just in time for dinner, so there is no reason not to invite guests.
Shu Shu did not sit down together and asked someone to open two tables.
She and Wu Fujin were in the east room, and the ninth brother and the fifth brother were in the west room.
Chicken soup and beef soup are always prepared in the dining room, making it easy to add dishes at short notice.
She ordered people to add beef balls and radish stew to the pot, chicken soup with cabbage, shredded milk tofu, and steamed pork with rice flour.
The remaining dishes are mostly side dishes, including mustard fungus, coir raincoat cucumber, braised diced eggplant, and stir-fried green beans.
There are also two bowls of eggs stewed in milk.
These days, Shu Shu always suffers from leg cramps in the middle of the night, so she starts taking calcium supplements, so she has milk with every meal.
Wufujin knows that the food here is exquisite. Although it is not like other places with eight dishes and eight bowls of big fish and meat, it is delicious.
Today I was surprised, I just felt that the beef was too fishy and smelled a bit strong.
When the milk stewed eggs came, Wufujin picked it up and felt it was even more fishy...
