Hongwei (Xiaosan) did not participate in the disaster relief and plague relief efforts, but based on his merits in this battle, he was granted the title of Duke of Feng'en Fuguo. He was also granted the title of Duke of Feng'en Zhenguo.
Annual salary of 500 taels of silver and 500 bushels of rice;
As for Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, they had no merit, but were given the title of Zhenguo General, which is equivalent to a first-rank military officer, and even more so, a first-class Zhenguo General.
Annual salary: 410 taels of silver, 410 bushels of rice
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were sons born out of wedlock, and were demoted two ranks to Fengguo Generals. A first-rank Fengguo General received an annual salary of 210 taels of silver and 210 bushels of rice.
That's not bad. Given the situation in the Prince Zhi's mansion, with so many legitimate sons, the illegitimate sons will probably only have the title of imperial grandson, but won't be able to obtain any titles and will eventually become idle members of the imperial clan.
These noble titles all came with their own residences, which were arranged by the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites. They moved out within two months.
Although Khoja was not stingy, the division of the family still had to be done according to the established rules.
According to the regulations, the heir apparent must inherit at least 70% of the estate's assets.
The remaining legitimate sons and illegitimate sons combined shall not exceed 30%.
This applies to both aristocratic families and royalty.
If the matriarch is particularly ruthless, she might give one-tenth of the remaining sons a cut, and you'd have no recourse, since it's just a customary rule.
Because Yinzhi was the eldest son of Emperor Kangxi, and the heir apparent was the eldest grandson of the emperor, the division of the family property still needed to be handled with caution.
They specially invited the Imperial Clan Court Master and the second-in-command of the Imperial Clan Court, Seventh Master, to participate in the division of the family property.
Besides members of the imperial family, Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager also sent people to participate in the division of the family property, serving as witnesses.
To show fairness.
The distribution of the spoils to the eldest son and the other sons, according to Yinzhi and Hezhuo, was quite reasonable.
Originally, since Yinzhi was still a prince and Hongyu was only a crown prince, the crown prince's share should have been with the prince, and would go to Hongyu after a hundred years.
However, Yinzhi didn't care, and Hezhuo also said he didn't mind.
On the spot, he handed over 70% of the property to Hongyu. Of course, in the future, Hongyu would be in charge of all the financial matters in the Prince's Mansion, except for those that required Prince Yinzhi's presence.
Yinzhi couldn't be happier to be a hands-off manager.
He could even plead poverty with his beloved wife and ask her to support him.
The people from the Imperial Clan Court and Empress Dowager Kangxi's faction naturally couldn't refute it, and after registering everything, they went back.
Those who are to report back should go and report back.
The Imperial Clan Court needs to separate the family genealogies.
When ordinary people divide their property, they have to register it with the government office and the village head.
When Emperor Kangxi's eldest son separated from his family, it was natural to make a record with the imperial family and the Imperial Clan Court, and the family genealogy was separated.
Next came the division of Khoja's dowry, as Khoja was incredibly wealthy.
She had no regrets about her son. She didn't care about the 70/30 rule anymore.
He gave each of his sons 50,000 taels of silver as a share of the family property, and then divided his own assets equally.
Each of the illegitimate sons was given a three-courtyard house and 100 mu of farmland. They were also allowed to take with them all the furnishings and appliances from their houses.
Each of the two concubines has a son. Although the Fifth Prince is not Nalan's biological son, she raised him from a young age, and he will definitely inherit a share of the family property in the future.
As for Xiao Jiu, he was the only son of Shumulu, so the things were naturally given to him as well.
So, the illegitimate sons in the household were actually not poor at all. On the contrary, because their mother only had one son, they were quite wealthy.
In fact, the dowry of the principal wife was not divided among the illegitimate sons, but Khoja was not short of money. Not only could he gain a good reputation, but he could also gain some gratitude, so it was worth it.
The main reason is that the fields around the capital are all owned. The large amount of land that He Zhuo was able to give to his sons at once was land that had been seized by the Ministry of Revenue when it was collecting debts.
Who told them to have a mother who could generate wealth?
He Zhuo gave away half of her dowry. The other half was planned to be divided equally among her children when she passed away.
In this way, after all the cash, gold, silver, jade, and antique ornaments in the public coffers were distributed, the lion's share ended up with Hongyu.
The mistress of the Prince's mansion was nominally still Princess Hezhuo, but in reality, she was the Crown Prince's wife.
He Zhuo didn't care and was content to enjoy his retirement, living a leisurely life.
Being the mistress of such a big house is no easy task!
⊙▃⊙
If others heard He Zhuo's lament, they would probably be spitting blood. When have you ever been the mistress of this household?
Besides setting the rules and appointing the administrator at the beginning, what else did you do?
If He Zhuo heard you say that
They'll definitely roll their eyes at you: "Do you even know what management is? We're the ones in charge."
