The elder brothers who do not have a title are used for ten taels of silver per month according to the rules before they get married. Even in the prosperous era of Kangxi, the princes who did not have titles and did not get married are still like this. Now Fuyou is a general of Fuyuan, a person with "official character", and an annual salary of 400 taels of silver every year. But now is the time of war, the imperial court is tightened, and Huang Taiji has no silver to give enough silver to officials at all levels, and no one has complained. The early days of the founding of the country were very difficult, and everyone could understand the Great Khan.

Tong's Jinxiu is really a virtuous helper, and he has always taken care of and helped his monk husband. Knowing that he had no money or power, and that he would have to be squeezed by many brothers and nephews, he quietly sold some of his dowry to fund her husband to do what he did.

Her father and mother were on the border outside the border, and the court did not have any preferential treatment. The couple took advantage of the local resources and cultivated the land while training the troops there, supporting 80,000 border guards. Not only did he not ask the court for a penny, but he also lived a prosperous life there. I have found a lot of ways to get rich. In Shengjing, there are very few monkey heads and fungus to make dishes at the state banquet of Huang Taiji, but there are not only fungus and mushrooms in the rice bowl of the soldiers under the command of Tong, but also large pieces of meat and large bowls of wine: mushrooms and fungus are picked by the soldiers on the mountain, pork is the pigs raised by the soldiers themselves, and the wine is brewed from wild fruits on the mountain, all from nature and the diligence of the soldiers. They reclaimed tens of thousands of acres of land, planted wheat, corn, potatoes, cabbage, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pears, and claws, and ground soybean milk with large and plump soybeans to make tofu and yellow sauce. When Jinxiu was a teenager, he was taken by his uncle to visit his parents outside the customs, and he immediately liked that place and didn't want to come back. If it weren't for the old grandparents, Jinxiu might have stayed outside the gate.

In the later part of the recuperation period, Fuyou slowly settled down to do his own errands, although the country's grain depot has a lot of food, but not all of that food is used on the battlefield, and some of it is used for disaster relief. Moreover, the place where Shengjing's grain depot can store grain is not very large, and if it is a protracted war, the grain in these grain depots is simply not enough. Fuyou used the silver ticket given by his father Khan to collect a lot of surplus grain from the people. It is that the grain that cannot be used by large families is afraid that it will grow insects, mold, and rat bites over time, so it is sold to Fuyou, who wears civilian clothes.

All of this grain was placed by Fuyou in a large cave not far from Longyun Temple, and Elder Zhengming promised Fuyou to send the warrior monks of the temple to take care of the grain.

The "grass" used to transport grain and grass was not firewood for fire, but forage for horses, and the horses of the army were not only used by cavalry, but also horses used to pull carts.

There is no need to buy forage for horses, and there are many fixed forage fields in the territory under the rule of Huang Taiji, which supply forage for horses for the imperial court. Horses are herbivores, and in addition to eating roughage such as grass, hay, and wheat straw, they must also be fed some concentrate feed, such as beans, wheat, wheat bran, and corn. In addition, they also prefer to eat marlian grass, alfalfa, water barnyard grass, carrots, etc.

There are also medicines, winter clothes, etc. that need to be prepared. Tong's Fujin proposed a Jianyi to Fuyou, that is, to fight in the spring, summer, and autumn seasons, and there are fresh vegetables to eat. But vegetables are not easy to store and are perishable. It is best to prepare a large number of pickles, Shengjing is Shenyang, in the territory of Liaoning (Fengtian), there are many vegetables that can be planted, mustard greens, radish, snow ferns, celery, peppers, cowpeas, and even eggplant, potatoes, green garlic, cabbage, cucumbers, etc. can be pickled into pickles, dried vegetables. There are also yellow sauces and pickles that are good things to accompany the meal. The yellow sauce made by Fuyou's wife Tong Jinxiu is delicious, and I don't have to say it. Her ancestor was a wealthy man in Liaodong, who started in business, and there was a beautiful commodity "Gege sauce" among the goods. It is the original of the grandmother of the splendid old commander. Before she died, she gave her granddaughter the secret recipe for Gege-chan.

It is best to buy some surplus grain from the people before the next war with the Ming army, and the grain from the grain store, the big households, the grain sellers, and the grain producing areas, how much they will collect. Rather than lack. Then mobilize the families of the court officials to make winter clothes for the soldiers in front, the clothes don't need to look good, they can be warm and comfortable. Then there is medicine, if the wound is not properly treated, the wound is easy to become infected. Things like Houttuynia cordata, dandelion, silkworm sand, bamboo ru, tangerine peel and so on are easy to find, can reduce fever and reduce inflammation.

Huang Taiji quickly adopted Fuyou's advice and instructed Fuyou to be responsible for the procurement of food and medicine, and the task of distributing winter clothes to the officials' families.

Tong's Jinxiu only participated in his first battle on the battlefield with her husband Fuyou, and then Huang Taiji did not let her go. The reason is very simple, the Tong family is so beautiful, and it is fearful that it will be unpredictable to mix with male soldiers all day long. If Father Khan doesn't let him go, he can't go hard, but Tong's Jinxiu is not idle at all.

Fuyou is even more of an idle person, and Zhao Yong gave him the purchase matter, so he followed his cousin Aldan as a quartermaster who carried grain and grass. This Aldan is the son of Fuyou's uncle, and is the younger brother of Fuyou's mother. For many years, he has been working as a hard errand for grain and grass. People are very honest and simple, and they also like blessings. A few days ago, he was injured a little, and Huang Taiji sent Fuyou to help him, also to assist Fuyou.

Tong's Jinxiu has two maids who serve personally, one is called Zheng Jiao, and the other is Liu Mei, they were bought into the house when Tong was eight years old, and now they have been with Tong for more than ten years. Zheng Jiao was called a pretty girl by Dolgon, and she was indeed very delicate, with a fair goose egg face and two big smart eyes. Looking carefully, there are some similarities between the eyebrows and the splendid Fujin. Neither she nor Tong expected that the master and servant had all entered Dolgon's field of vision, and it should be said that they had become prey in Dolgon's eyes. But Dolgon felt that now was not the time to start, and that it was best for them to take the initiative to give them a hug, but not to be hard. At the moment, he can only move forward tentatively, and he cannot be noticed by the Great Khan. Although he has already started to frown with Haoge's concubine, he still doesn't dare to guarantee that Tong Jinxiu is also a watery Yanghua like Haoge's woman. The matter between her and Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace is still unclear, who dares to mention it in front of Huang Taiji?

"Oh, what are my nephews and daughters-in-law busy with?" Dolgon appears in the backyard of the newly relocated Fuyuan General's Mansion with the elder face of his uncle.

Tong Shi and the two maids beside him hurriedly saluted Dolgon: "My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen Uncle Fourteen. ”

"What are you busy with? What do you do with these vats in your backyard? ”

"This is the yellow sauce and pickles that my nephew and daughter-in-law made for the front-line soldiers."

Dolgon immediately burst out laughing: "The daughter of the dignified Commander's Mansion actually pickles pickles!" Oops, that's ridiculous......"

"Uncle Fourteen, this is what we pickled for the soldiers on the front line. There are no fresh vegetables in winter, so they can't hold their rice bowls and have nothing to eat, right? ”

"Okay, I'm convinced. You've only been married to Fuyou for a few months, and you're just as stupid as him? Whether you have yellow sauce or black sauce, and you have bought so many jars and jars, who will give you silver? There's no such expense in the military spending, right? What the? The silver you put on your own? You stupid boy......"

As he spoke, he stood up and leaned over to Tong. Tong hurriedly bypassed a large vat and said to Dolgon: "I'm sorry Uncle Fourteen, my nephew and daughter-in-law are working, I can't talk to you, you can come back when your nephew comes back?" ”

"I'm blessed with his own uncle, what can I do to you? Avoid me like this! What's so good about that monk? Silly. ”

Tong Jinxiu said solemnly: "I don't think so. My husband is the best husband in the world, he is not in the house, it is not appropriate for you to come here, it is better to wait for him to come back and visit again. ”

"Forget it, why don't you hide from the plague by saying a few words. I'd better talk to your pretty girl. ”

The maid Zheng Jiao ran away as soon as she heard it, and the last time Dolgon suddenly appeared in front of her like a ghost, pinching Zheng Jiao's jaw, if Zheng Jiao didn't resist desperately, I am afraid that he would be defiled. So Zheng Jiao is more afraid of Dolgon than of ghosts!

"What are you running? Can you run out of my palm if you run again? It's better to be a warm bed maid for me, and I will be happy to serve me in the future, and you can choose to eat and drink spicy silk and satin. Alas, the people who are related to Fuyou are as uninteresting as the monks, and they are gone! With that, he opened the folding fan and walked away. Where is there a little bit of the image of the strategizing Kong Ming military division? The whole one is a disciple!

From this day on, Dolgon often found all kinds of excuses to entangle with the Tong family. Tong was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to complain to Huang Taiji. If you put up with it, it's hard to say what will happen.

Of course, Huang Taiji knew Dorgon's temperament very well. There have long been rumors that he and Haoge's concubine Jin An have passed the song, but there is no evidence and it is difficult to dispose of it casually.

Huang Taiji appreciated Dorgon's talents very much, and he was full of strategies at a young age, and he had his ghost ideas in many battles. When the Tong family came to sue Huang Taiji, he couldn't turn a blind eye, and said to the guards beside him: "Find the fourteenth master." ”

When he was young, Dolgon came, and as soon as he entered the house, Huang Taiji slapped the table at him: "Is there an uncle like you in the world?" Don't you know that Fuyou is not in the house? Is there a bit of shame? ”

"I said Brother Khan, what kind of fire are you doing? Brother, I just want to see if Fuyou is not at home, and see if there is anything I can do to help my nephew and daughter-in-law's family. What do you think I can do in broad daylight? ”

"Shut up! I don't know your virtue yet! Sue you, don't go to Fuyou Mansion to harass the Tong family! Otherwise, I want you to see! The ugly words are put here first, I hope you are doing it yourself! ”

Dolgon said lazily, "Well, I'll try to go as little as possible." ”

"Do you dare to go? It's against you! Someone will give me a board! ”

"Don't mind, don't mind, it hurts for many days to hit the board and butt, can't I afford to provoke and hide? Leave! "Let's get away.

Huang Taiji was so angry that he swept all the things on the table to the ground.

In the next few days, Dolgon did not come again, and the Tong family and the people in the house took out all the good yellow sauce into a smaller jar, and sealed the pickled pickles. All the yellow sauce and pickles were put into the vegetable cellar in the mansion, the cellar door was locked, and a few kung fu guards were left to take care of the house, and then Zheng Jiao and Liu Mei were taken back to the Commander's Mansion. She can't afford to mess with Dolgon, who knows how many moths he has in his belly?

During this period, Dolgon really came twice, and injured the two guards who stopped him from entering the inner room, but Tong Jinxiu was really not in the mansion, that is, he went to the Commander's Mansion. It's no problem, you can't go to the Commander's Mansion and tease other people's nieces in front of the Commander, right?

On the way back, Dorgon said fiercely, "Let you hide!" I can't hide from the first day of junior high school, but I can't hide from fifteen. Sooner or later, I have to put a green hat on that stupid monk! ”
