In front of Qingxi Bookstore, the third elder brother is thinking. Yu

What he just said to his fifth elder brother was not all rejection. He was indeed focused on Jiugege's dowry list.

There are quite a few princesses in the palace, all ranked up to seventeen, but not many have truly grown up.

So far, there are only four titled princesses, including their adopted sister Princess Chunxi.

Among the remaining princesses, Jiu Gege, like his sister Princess Rongxian, was born of the concubine, and is the most noble among the princesses.

Not to mention, Jiu Gege was still raised by the Queen Mother.

Having settled the nine-square dowry list is a great achievement.

He was filial to the Queen Mother, showed his kindness to Concubine De, mother and son, and sold them to the Tong family. Yu

The third elder brother weighed the pros and cons and asked the eunuch at the door to send a message.

In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi was talking to Ma Qi.

What the monarch and his ministers discuss is the matter of idle officials in each province.

Among these officials, the highest are Taoist priests of the fourth rank, and the lowest ones are warehouse ambassadors of the ninth rank.

Except for Zhili North Road, which does not need to be laid off, the other 335 officials will be laid off and will be replaced by the Ministry of Personnel according to their grades.

Liang Jiugong stood beside him, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his mouth.

You must know that Ma Qi is a bachelor who supervises the Ministry of Household Affairs, and is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Minister of the Lifanyuan. However, the emperor now asks him to be the counselor of the Ministry of Personnel. Yu

He does not have the title of chief assistant, but gradually he has the actual status of chief assistant.

After a while, Ma Qi retreated.

The eunuch who was delivering the message at the door also came in and whispered to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong took two steps closer and said, "Your Majesty, Sanbeile would like to see you."

Kangxi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Today is already the sixth day of May, and the Dragon Boat Festival has passed.

He had heard from others that there was a lot of traffic in Sanbeile Mansion in the past few days, and they were all officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came to greet and give gifts. Yu

They also include people from the Wuya family, Zhang family and Wei family.

They were quite quick to get into camp.

He remembered what someone said at the end of February, criticizing Ninth Elder Brother, saying that Ninth Elder Brother was holding back the promotion of his relatives because they did not give them enough annual gifts.

Kangxi felt a little complicated. Before, the ninth elder brother always thought about giving gifts to his Ama, but now it was the third elder brother's turn, and he didn't think about this at all.

"pass……"

Kangxi said.

Liang Jiugong responded and went down.

At the door of the study, the third elder brother was looking at Ma Qi's back.

I forgot about this one. In name, he is the prince's master, and he also has a son who works as a bodyguard in Lao Jiu's mansion.

The ninth chicken thief!

"Third Master, where is the emperor's biography..."

Liang Jiugong said.

The third elder brother nodded and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Liang..."

With that said, he generously handed over his purse. Yu

As soon as Liang Jiugong got it, he felt something different and said with a smile: "Thank you Third Master for the reward..."

It's a bit heavy. Previously, a pair of silver ingots cost eight taels or one tael, but this time they cost 2 taels.

It seems that this man has really become rich, and the rewards have begun to double.

The third elder brother waved his hand and said: "Mr. Liang is very polite..."

But if the money is scattered, we still have to find a way to earn it back.

The third elder brother's eyes were bright, and he remembered one more thing, which was the matter of adding a new leader.

That is a fourth-level official position that can be passed down to future generations. Yu

In that case, how much money does a secular minister need to move around?

The annual salary of the fourth grade is one hundred and fifty taels and one hundred and five dendrobium of rice.

The rice given was Guancang white rice, which was fifty-two stones and five buckets, and it would cost more than forty taels of silver.

This worldly position is worth exchanging for thirty years' salary, which is more than four thousand taels of silver?

The population calculated this time can form a total of more than thirty new subordinates.

The third elder brother became a little excited when he thought of this, and his face flushed.

Kangxi looked at his third elder brother and didn't understand why he was so excited. Yu

The third elder brother came to his senses and said: "Khan Ama, my son accepted the general affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago, and found that there are a few things that have not been taken care of clearly, so I came here to report to you..."

The movements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were right under Kangxi's nose. Besides accepting gifts and meeting guests, what else did the third elder brother do?

Yes, because he was worried that the yamen outside would not know that the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been replaced, the third elder brother also sent official letters to several manufacturing yamen in Jiangnan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Shengjing, and various palace offices to inform them.

Matters concerning the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The little thought behind this is obvious.

Kangxi was also speechless and said: "Tell me..."

The third elder brother thought about it for a while, and then mentioned the matter about Jiu Gege first, and said: "Perhaps the ninth elder brother was busy with other things before, and the dowry list at Jiu Gege was not quite ready yet. At present, there is only a list made by the in-house manufacturer.

It’s decided, the other dowry preparations haven’t started yet.”

Kangxi glanced at the third elder brother and said: "Then prepare early. It is best to draw up a preliminary list and submit it to the Queen Mother before the end of the month. If there are any incomplete parts, you can add them..." Yu

The third elder brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you preparing according to Aunt Gongci's rules?"

Princess Heshuo Gongci, the biological daughter of Emperor Shizu, and the half-sister of Kangxi.

In the sixth year of Kangxi's reign, she married the nephew of Obai, one of the four ministers, who was a princess who stayed in the capital during the Shunzhi Dynasty.

Later, when Ao Bai was questioned and his relatives were implicated, the eldest princess Gongci returned to Shengjing with her husband-in-law.

Although the prince-in-law later recovered, he died young, and the eldest princess also died of illness within a few years.

Jiugege stayed in Beijing to open his mansion, and it is true that we cannot follow the example of Princess Fumeng.

Kangxi couldn't help but frown after hearing this, feeling that it was unlucky. Yu

Princess Gongci was the daughter of a concubine, but at that time, her marriage to the Guarjia family was intended to be a marriage, and the dowry was quite generous.

The third elder brother mentioned that it is also a rule to prepare a dowry for Jiugege according to her dowry.

This is the case in itself. For errands in the yamen, you must first look for examples. If there are no examples, you can ask for them.

Kangxi considered it carefully and said: "The Queen Mother has given instructions before. There should not be too many furniture and furnishings, and there should not be too many jewelry and clothing materials. The palace, rent-collecting shops, and the house can allocate more space..."

After hearing this, the third elder brother nodded and said: "My son understands that the Imperial Grandmother is really kind. This living money flowing slowly is indeed better than useless dead objects."

Kangxi narrowed his eyes and his face became a little heavy.

Maybe it was because he had been ill last month, so he felt harsh listening to these talk about life and death. Yu

The third elder brother was so excited that he didn't realize it. He suppressed his excitement and said: "Khan Ama, there is also the matter of new population growth in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A total of thirty-seven new commanders have been divided. Who should be selected for this commander?"

Kangxi thought of Gao Yanzhong and wondered whether the third elder brother would remove this already chosen candidate.

However, he thought of Brother Ninth and felt a little headache. If the third brother really dismissed Gao Yanzhong's new leader, he might be in trouble again.

That's all. Who told me to answer the golden words?

Kangxi then said: "Gao Yanzhong, the official of the Ninth Prince's House, has made great contributions to assisting in handling the affairs of the Xiaotangshan Palace. He will be rewarded with an assistant collar. For other candidates, you can draft the candidates and submit them!"

The third elder brother was a little surprised and bowed in response.

As for Gao Yanzhong's assistant leader, he didn't expect to change it, but he didn't expect that this name would actually be mentioned in front of the emperor. Yu

Immediately, he thought of Gao Yanzhong's identity. He was under the banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was previously a doctor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A doctor who is a fifth-rank doctor goes to accept the ceremony of a fifth-rank doctor?!

It's not Laojiu's clad population.

It turns out that this is Khan Amma’s person!

The third elder brother was alert, less proud, and retreated from the imperial court.

Do you have any royal ears and eyes in your house?

The third elder brother was shocked and confused. Yu

As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, he immediately became more awake. Thinking of the reception and delivery at Baylor Mansion in the past few days, he felt something was not right.
