Jiufujin is beautiful and charming

Chapter 197
"I just want to ask you, if the gunboats of the Westerners come over, will the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty be safe?"

Kangxi did not continue to target Prince Yu, but turned his attention to those who held objections, "If anyone can give me a guarantee, then this matter, let's let it go!"

"..."

Above the main hall, there was silence.

Everyone, whether they agreed with the shipbuilding or opposed the shipbuilding, all lowered their heads.At this moment, no one dared to face Kangxi face to face.

At this moment, not only Kangxi's imperial prestige, but also his wealth and life are in front of him.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

After being silent for a long time, Prince Yu suddenly raised his head.

Kangxi directly raised his hand, waved it away, and said coldly: "Brother Huang, you have thought it through!"

"minister--"

Prince Yu noticed Kangxi's eyes, and when he reached the words on his lips, he was instantly stuck.

Prince Yu, who grew up with Kangxi since he was a child, is very familiar with Kangxi's eyes. He knows that once he speaks, it is really an open bow and there is no turning back.

Not only did it cut off their years of brotherhood, but it also cut off the future of Prince Yu's lineage.

how to choose?

Where to go?

Prince Yu froze on the spot, what he wanted to say in his heart, he didn't say it in the end, but lowered his head, and said slowly: "I am willing to listen to the emperor's orders!"

"Brother Huang, I am not a person who can be difficult for the strong."

"This matter, you can continue to argue!"

"So be it!"

Just when Kangxi suppressed the audience with the power of the emperor, and everyone thought that he was going to make a final decision on this matter, Kangxi suddenly had a reversal.

This one-handed operation has stunned another person again!

"Go away!"

Once Kangxi said to break up, then, he had to leave!

Prince Yu looked a bit depressed. Before leaving, he turned his head several times, but he didn't hear a word from Kangxi asking him to stay.

"The mouse is short-sighted!"

"I am so sad!"

When Kangxi returned to Dongnuange, he couldn't calm down for a while.

Liang Jiugong was beside him, but he dared not speak.The current Kangxi is full of hostility. If anyone bumps into him at this time, he will be sprayed with blood by Kangxi!
……

Ninth elder brother didn't know what was going on in the palace, he and tenth elder brother wrote the invitations for inviting people to get together to celebrate the event, and then asked someone to transcribe it, and then let the people in the mansion start delivering it one by one.

In the end, to the surprise of Brother Nine and Brother Ten, when the two invitations were sent out, no one agreed to come to the appointment in the end.

"What's the situation?"

When Brother Jiu heard the news brought back by the messenger, his expression was so bewildered.

Although he is not a prince, he does not have much power in his hands.However, just based on the laboratory he manages, he is also a person with some reputation.

Many people have benefited from the sale of glass and glass mirrors.And these people actually refused to come to the appointment after receiving his invitation.

"Too deceiving!"

It's one thing not to want these people to get involved and share the money, but it's another thing for these people to refuse his invitation.

You don't need to participate, but you should come here more or less!

"Ninth brother, isn't this very good?"

Brother Ten didn't think as much as Brother Nine. He just thought that this matter was just a formality. So, since it was a formality, does it make any difference whether these people come or not?

"Good for what?"

Ninth Brother stared, "I also posted invitations, and these people just refused to come. This is not giving you Ninth Brother my face!"

"Ninth brother, that, I'm not my brother, I speak badly!"

Elder Brother Shi chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "What face do we brothers have?"

"Brother, I still live in elder brother's house. Ninth brother, you just left the palace to open the house. The errands you have on hand don't have much impact. Just the business of the laboratory before, it's still useful. But now, that matter It has basically been finalized, and you, like my younger brother and me, can be completely ignored by others."

"Go, why am I like you?"

Brother Nine rolled his eyes, "Master is in charge of the laboratory anyway, he can produce glass and glass mirrors now, and he can produce other things tomorrow."

"This group of bastards, sooner or later I will let them know that if I don't give my face today, I will make them regret it in the future!"

At this moment, brother Jiu was really out of anger.

I thought I had to spend some time to arrange things properly.As a result, none of the many situations he envisioned in his mind came in handy, and he wasted his brains in vain!

"Ninth brother, is this necessary?"

Elder Brother Ten curled his lips, "What's the point of competing with a group of people who are interested in money?"

"Why is it boring?"

Brother Jiu snorted, "I really didn't want them to get involved in this incident. But, they don't give me face so much, so if they don't let them bleed, my heart is not going well!"

Everyone has a temper, let alone the arrogant Ninth Brother?
Of course, the most important thing is that Brother Jiu did not embarrass these people when it came to glass and glass mirrors, but kindly gave everyone a chance to make a fortune.

As the saying goes, reciprocate!
His ninth elder brother is honest enough to people, but how do these people repay him?He sent out the invitation, and the group of people just looked at it and chose to reject it.Moreover, the reasons for the refusal were unexpectedly the same, and the family was a little tight.

This obviously perfunctory reason for refusal is really treating him as an idiot!

"Brother Nine, what are you going to do? Talk!"

As soon as the tenth brother heard that the ninth brother said that his heart was not going well, he immediately expressed his opinion.

Brother Nine rolled his eyes, then squinted at Brother Ten, and said, "Brother Ten, do you just hope that Brother and I will do something?"

"No, absolutely not! Brother Jiu, you have to trust me!"

Brother Ten panicked for a moment.

Ninth Brother snorted twice, and gave Tenth Brother a fist, "You can pull you down, we have been friends for so many years, I still don't know what kind of temperament you are? Ninth brother, I'm planning!"

"Ninth brother, am I not too boring?"

Elder Brother Ten laughed, and raised his eyebrows at Elder Ninth, "Besides, these people are really worthless. Brother Ninth, when you made money, you brought them with you. Now just let them make some money." Son Yinzi, they just pushed back and blocked, with this human nature, Brother Nine, I can't let them go!"

"You still need to say!"

Brother Jiu snorted, with a sinister expression on his face, and said, "Brother Ten, tell me, how about I take back the glass business I gave them?"

"Brother Jiu, are you kidding me?"

Brother Ten looked at Brother Nine with an idiot-like look, "For those people, the business of glass and glass mirrors is the meat that has already entered their mouths. You let them eat the meat that has been eaten in their mouths." If you spit it out again, they will fight you hard!"

"Brother Ten, you don't understand this!"

Brother Nine chuckled, "The glass mirror and the method of making glass are all in the hands of the laboratory. According to the cooperation agreement, they are only responsible for sales. The production of glass and glass mirror, the construction and production of workshops in various places , are directly controlled by the laboratory.”

"As long as your ninth brother and I control the construction speed of the workshop, as well as the output of glass and glass mirrors, wouldn't it be easy to kill them?"

In this situation, the product is king.

Brother Jiu holds the product in his hand, and those who cooperate with him are all downstream sellers.As an upstream manufacturer that controls the goods, Brother Nine wants to get stuck on the neck of the seller, not to be too simple.

"Ninth Brother, you really are the best!"

When the tenth elder brother heard the situation that the ninth elder brother said, he could only say "convince".

Brother Nine smiled and said, "Brother Ten, tell me, how much money is it right for me to knock these bastards?"

"A few thousand taels for a family?"

Elder Brother Ten blinked, "We wrote dozens of invitation cards. According to a family of 1000 taels, that's tens of thousands of vehicles. If there are more, then we will have more money to build ships and guns!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Brother Jiu snorted twice, "Since the master is kind enough to make them rich and they are not happy, then let them concentrate on helping us get rich!"

Brother Jiu really has no sympathy for those who don't give him face.

Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not gather wealth!
Brother Nine and Brother Ten quickly divided the families who sent out their invitations into grades, and the amount of money they were going to rip off was also divided into several grades. The minimum was 1000 taels, and the maximum was not 1 taels. No way.

You also have to grasp the size of the rip off, if you rip off less, maybe people will think you look down on him.

When the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother discussed everything properly, a eunuch from the Qianqing Palace came to the ninth elder brother's mansion and passed on Kangxi's oral order to call the ninth elder brother into the palace.

"Tenth brother, let's go, go see Huang Ama!"

"Ninth brother, I won't go!"

Elder Brother Shi shrank his neck, "Ama Huang has been getting angry after seeing me for the past few days, I think it's better for me not to get close to Ama Huang!"

As a prince elder brother who often skips classes, who can Kangxi deal with if he doesn't deal with the ten elder brothers?

Brother Nine sighed, and said, "Brother Ten, it's not Brother Nine that I'm talking about you. If you continue like this, he can't do anything about it! You can't wait for the tenth sibling to come to Beijing, and play truant every day, right?"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Elder Brother Ten shrugged, "Brother Ninth, just say a few words less, and save your strength to persuade Huang Ama!"

"Forget it, as long as you know what you're doing!"

Ninth Brother looked at Tenth Brother meaningfully, intending to say something, but he also understood that Tenth Brother's idea was actually very righteous.For some things, once Elder Brother Ten made up his mind, he would hit a wall and never look back.

Elder Brother Ten chuckled and said, "Brother Ninth, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, brother. Although I don't know what I'm going to do in the future, I understand everything now!"

"I hope you will say the same in the future!"

Brother Jiu sighed.

I have said what should be said and what should not be said, but Elder Brother Shi is just a stubborn crutch.

The two left the Nine Princes' Mansion and entered the palace together.

Then, go their separate ways.

The tenth elder brother went back to the elder brother's place, and the ninth elder brother went to the Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi.

Outside the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he saw Brother Jiu coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and whispered: "Brother Jiu, Long Live Lord is not in a very good mood now. Wait a minute, can you speak?" Be careful!"

"Oh, good, thank you Eunuch Liang for your pointers!"

Brother Jiu smiled, and casually put an ingot of silver into Liang Jiugong's hand.

Liang Jiugong was not too polite, so he took it away and put it in the sleeve pocket for safekeeping.

Brother Jiu entered the room of Dongnuange, and saw his Royal Ama with a gloomy face, holding his morning booklet in his hand, with a really scary expression on his face.

"My son kowtowed to Huang Ama!"

Brother Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, knelt down on the ground, so as not to be angered by Kangxi for no reason.

"Get up and talk!"

"Go and move a pier yourself, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Emma!"

Hearing Kangxi's words, and seeing Kangxi's slightly relaxed face when he spoke, Brother Jiu was really relieved, because Kangxi's appearance showed his anger, not because of him and his memorial.

That being the case, then, everything is much easier!

"Yinzhen!"

"My son is here!"

Hearing Kangxi calling his name, Brother Nine immediately straightened his back and answered in a deep voice.

Kangxi raised his hand and pressed it down, and said slowly: "I discussed with others what was said in your booklet, and as a result, half of the people agreed and half of the people opposed."

"Huang Ama, since that's the case, then you can let this matter go!"

As soon as Brother Jiu heard Kangxi's words, he knew that his chance had come.

"To tell you the truth, my son-in-law guessed that there might be some twists and turns in the matter before, so after leaving you, son-in-law went to find Eniang, tenth younger brother, eleventh younger brother, and others. Some people are going to raise a sum of money, and try it first to see if they can build a stronger gunboat!"

"If my son succeeds, then, if you raise this matter again, Huang Ama, there should be no objection!"

Brother Jiu's words really made Kangxi feel at ease.

As an emperor, who wouldn't want his subordinates to be considerate and share his worries?

Since ancient times, there is a saying that the Lord worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death.

But this kind of situation has only appeared in books. In reality, most of the time, the main worrying minister talks a lot of nonsense, and the main humiliating minister is useless!

When something happened, he, the emperor, was often the one to make decisions.

What Brother Nine did, in Kangxi's view, was the real sharing of worries for you.

He raised a question, and as a result, people on both sides only cared about arguing with each other, and no one thought about how to solve the problem.

This really made Kangxi quite distressed!

Even Prince Yu, who has always understood his intentions very well, this time, instead of understanding his intentions, he simply stood on the opposite side of him.

"Silver, is that enough?"

Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu, feeling very relieved.

Brother Nine thought for a while, and said: "Huang Ama, I don't know if the money is enough. I originally planned to find someone to contribute the money to partner with me to do this, but in the end, I posted an invitation , No one is willing to give generously."

"So, Erchen plans to beat them up!"
