Cyan Lotus of Space Clearance

Chapter 93
Nianshi.

Kangxi stared at the list, the ink brush in his hand remained for a long time.

After a few days, except for a few show girls who had dropped their cards for some reason, all the other girls whose names were on the show cards and who were meant to be married received the order from the palace one by one.

Among them, Guo Luoluo, the daughter of the third-rank official, pointed to the sixteenth elder brother as a concubine. Fujin; Wusu, the daughter of the first-class guard Jin Bao, pointed out that she was a side Fujin for the thirteenth elder brother-at this time, the thirteenth Fujin was pregnant, and there was only another Guerjia side Fujin in the thirteenth elder brother's house, Kangxi Maybe it feels less, when the old man reprimanded his son for not wanting to see him, it didn't delay him at all to marry his son and give birth to a grandson.In addition, the Qian family and the Qiu family were pointed out to the prince as concubines; Yuanwailang and Chideli, the daughter of the leader Sahalian, were pointed to the third elder brother as concubines; Shi and Li Jia are concubines for Fourteenth Elder Brother...

Prince Yong's Mansion also received the order: Nian Shi, the daughter of the show, pointed out to be a princess for the fourth elder brother;Order, married after the year.

Everyone in the Geng family breathed a sigh of relief when they knew the will. Although the Nian family entered the mansion as well, their status is just a bit of a status. Even if they have a capable natal family, so what. In Prince Yong's mansion, their status is the same. It is inevitable to compete for favor, but the sense of oppression is not so heavy.

In September, papers reporting disasters and poor harvests from all over the country were submitted one after another. Kangxi was so anxious that he couldn't eat and sleep. The fourth elder brother Yinzhen took the opportunity to submit two secret papers. Some data from the experimental field, and donate part of the money and food for disaster relief.

There are many things written in the other booklet, from the current taxation, comparative analysis of the taxation progress of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, to some unreasonable points in the tax system of the Qing Dynasty, and the comparison of the income of farmers and merchants , and all the treasury silver obtained from taxation in the Qing Dynasty is used for fighting wars, disaster relief, and benefiting the people, and the children of the Eight Banners of Manchuria do not care about the ills that may be brought about after a hundred years of production...

This second excerpt can be said to be the result of Yinzhen's long-term thinking after he witnessed the various drags and declines of the Qing Dynasty caused by unreasonable systems in the state of his soul after his life ended.He didn't dare to write down all the reforms he had thought about in his past and present lives, for fear of irritating his emperor, who was a heavy-handed, benevolent and caring father.

Taxation is related to people's livelihood and the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it can support the subsequent wars and various natural disasters... It has come to the point where it has to be changed. He remembers that in the 57th year of Kangxi, there was still a war to be fought in the Northwest. At that time, he was in charge He and Shisan, who raised food and grass, were so anxious that their mouths frothed every day to ensure the supply of the army.

Kangxi was overjoyed when he read the scriptures, and quickly approved them, preparing to discuss them when he went to court the next day.

But after reading the second booklet, his face sank, and the more he looked down, the more exciting the changes on his face became.Finally, he let out a long sigh, leaned back, and closed his eyes in silence.

His four sons are indeed people who are dedicated to doing practical things and have a clear heart. These analyzes and data are all well-founded, and even if he wants to refute, he can't find any leaks.After borrowing money from the national treasury, he understood that after withdrawing the vassal state, taking over Taiwan, and fighting Kardan in his early years... the national treasury is not rich, but the annual droughts and floods make the people difficult, so he has to exempt tax here and there. Tax exemption, and in the past few years, he has devoted himself to balancing the faction of several princes and has been unable to rectify the officialdom, which has made the official government even more corrupt!
He was moved by Yinzhen's excerpts, but he needed to draw them slowly. This tax reform will affect everything. Which servant of those princes and ministers does not have a farm shop under his name?Make them pay more taxes?It's like cutting their flesh!

In terms of the emperor who sympathized with the people and valued farming in history, Kangxi can be regarded as No. 1. During his lifetime, disaster relief and tax exemptions were common. Unfortunately, the government was corrupt in his later years. How much disaster relief funds and tax exemptions were embezzled by the lower officials.

"Li Dequan, go to deliver the decree, Prince Lingcheng, Prince Yong, King Chunjun, King Dunjun, Twelve, Fourteen Beizi, Sixteen, Seventeen Elder Brother...Prince Jane, Prince Kang...Chen Tingjing, Zhu Shi, Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Yushu... and others will see you."

"Whoo."

Other pro-princes, ministers and princes from the Eighth Age faction were almost left alone. Several princes went to Qianqing Palace to look at each other. Although they didn't know why the emperor summoned them, they knew it in their hearts.

In the early morning of the second day, several princes and ministers came forward one after another to donate money for the relief of the disaster. The rest of the officials looked at it, how could you not donate when others donated?Donate!
So it seems to be effective, but within a few days, officials from all over the country donated money and materials one after another. Kangxi decreed that the government offices of various places posted a list of donors and advertised them widely as a show of praise. A fellow lifter, enjoying the respect of the people of the common people... At this moment, even the rich businessmen couldn't help but make a move. A fellow lifter, isn't their businessman's background other than profit?A Juren father said how face-saving it is, and he has the name of a good person, who is respected by others, donate, no matter how much money he has.

In the days that followed, Yinzhen was in charge of Zhili and presided over the overall situation. The other princes and elder brothers each led a province to inspect the disaster-stricken areas to ensure that the disaster funds and food were distributed to the common people...

Those show girls were all set aside, and entered the mansion?Let's talk about it after the man is busy.Especially the sixteenth and seventeenth elder brothers who have just started their errands, they are full of energy, and they follow Yinzhen all day long asking this and that.

Fengtian, Shandong, Shaanxi-Gansu, Hubei, Guangdong and Guangxi, etc. have set up experimental fields for fine varieties, and the local chief executives are required to observe and report the output data of the current season, and no false reporting or concealment is allowed.

In history, since the 50th year of Kangxi, money and grain have been exempted from all over the world, and it has been three years.Zhili, Fengtian, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, nine provinces of land, money and food, it was found that the decree of complete exemption was lost by the butterfly.

In the first month of the 50th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen followed Kangxi to inspect the Tongzhou River Embankment. He recommended Liu Tongxun to Kangxi. Although there was a mistake in time, but the talent is still the same, so he pays attention to making friends, although it is also indifferent, but a smart person needless to say, in this life, he will never scold his disciples and subordinates because of their utter devotion to him.

In this world, there is no one who is completely devoted to another person...

Somehow, the figure of Su Yierha appeared in his mind.He pursed his thin lips tightly, narrowed his long and narrow black eyes slightly, did he want her to be "dedicated" to him?
He is very clear that his little lotus may depend on him, may love him, but it is by no means "dedicated to her." If he treats her badly, I believe she will not be polite to him... He thinks about how he will be with him on weekdays. Every little thing she got along with, apart from the cowardly awe she had towards him when she was newly married, that woman had no fear at all on weekdays, as if she could "walk around the world with reason" in front of him.He thinks she doesn't care about his favor or not, it's good to have it - she does her best to make herself live well, if she doesn't, she can live too... can't say any adjectives, as if she put him on an equal footing location, psychologically.

The problem is that thinking of this, he is not displeased, and even a little happy.

The respect she showed in front of him never escaped his eyes. There was a kind of detachment in her bones, a kind of real indifference.

She is different from other women. Others can't be "dedicated" to him because they can't let go of power, status and interests. She is for... "equality", right?

It's a pity that he can't give her "equality" now, he has too much to let go, too many things to do, maybe... never become that kind of person.

Kangxi met Liu Tongxun and found that he was good at hard work, honest and upright, and good at water control. He took him with him when he visited Hong Kong in February. Set up instruments, set directions, tripods and Chun woods, and measure with records... While doing and talking, we get along well.

It is said that the Nian family was dumbfounded when they heard that the palace pointed their daughter to Prince Yong to be a princess, especially Nian Xiaodie, who thought that with her talent and appearance, and the official rank of her father and brother, she was worthy of pointing out a side Fujin (Di Fujin is not allowed, she is Han Junqi), why did she suddenly become Ge Ge?
I didn't make any mistakes in my own draft.

What kind of person is Nian Xialing, who is cautious all his life, who can be the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the governor of Hubei and is treated favorably by Kangxi? Concubine De's relationship matter, I can't help but hate: "It's all that evil son, I told him earlier that I should be too impatient and arrogant, but I didn't listen, which of those princes and elder brothers is easy to get along with?!"

"Father, you mean?" Nian Xiaodie looked surprised, what did the second brother do?
Nian Xialing sighed: "Before your second elder brother left Beijing, he walked in the footsteps of the fourteenth elder brother, and asked him to speak well of you in front of the concubine De, and point you to Prince Yong..."

Of the three brothers and sisters, Nian Xiyao is too lenient and uncontested, Nian Gengyao is too rebellious and self-righteous, only Nian Xiaodie is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has the most scheming vision of the three, but it is a pity that she is a daughter .

"Second brother, why is he like this!" Nian Xiaodie, who has taught him a lot since he became an official at home, knew that there was a turning point that they didn't know. Her attitude and words when she summoned herself to talk during the draft... clearly intended to point herself to Elder Fourteen.

I don't really care who I point it to, but the emperor assigns their Nian family to the fourth elder brother as a person in the hope that they will become the help of the fourth elder brother. As soon as the fourteenth elder brother pops up, he will contact the second elder brother to come to the door... If the emperor knows, how can he not want to be crooked? ! "Father, do you think the emperor thinks that we don't follow the holy will, that we obey and obey..."

"Shut up, be careful!" Nian Xialing yelled, looked around, and felt relieved that there were no other servants besides himself, his wife and daughter, "Your second brother is your second brother, because your two second brothers The relationship between his sister-in-law and the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are too deeply involved, if you enter the fourth elder brother's house, you must not use your second elder brother as a face..." That is, don't always mention your mother's family.

"Daughter knows." Nian Xiaodie pursed her lips, her status was much lower when she became Princess, and there was a first-born Fujin and two side Fujin, both of whom had sons and daughters. If she was too prominent, she would inevitably be punished Suppress.Anyway, her family background is there, and the fourth elder brother knows it. As long as she obeys the rules and behaves respectfully, so that others can't catch her mistakes, and she is not afraid of being favored by her talent and appearance, it shouldn't be difficult for her to be named as a side Fujin when she gives birth to a son. .

Thinking of this, she went through the women in the back house of Prince Yong's mansion again, the son Fujin Ulanara was weak and ignorant, with only a pair of daughters under his body, it was nothing to worry about;

Niu Hulu's side Fujin... There was a block in her heart. She had always been extremely confident in her appearance, and she couldn't help but lose her mind when she saw that Niu Hulu's side Fujin. The water lotus flower is naturally uncarved, which makes people feel close and has no meaning of blasphemy.For the first time, she felt that she was inferior in appearance, and the proud Rulan temperament seemed so artificial in front of her. If possible, she really didn't want to appear in front of a man at the same time as her!I heard that she is not ruthless, and I didn't find out that she has any virtuous reputation. I only know that she is the side Fujin personally pointed out by the emperor to the fourth elder brother, but this made her feel uncertain and unsure...

Li Fangfujin, he is not very favored, but he has two sons and a daughter under his body, so it is not to be underestimated;

She had inquired about her other concubines, except that Wu Ya was the cousin of Si Age, the niece of Defei's natal family, the rest were nothing to worry about...

"I've almost prepared Xiaodie's dowry, and now I can't use many things..." Mrs. Nian sighed.

"Forget it, convert it into silver bills and some silver and gold, and put it in the box for Xiaodie." Nian Xialing said.

On October [-]th, the Empress Dowager’s [-]th birthday, Kangxi celebrated the Empress Dowager’s [-]th birthday, offering statues of Buddha, coral, self-ringing bells, foreign mirrors, oriental beads, coral, golden amber, Yufeng stone, rosary beads, furs, Feather satin, duoluo, Shen, sandalwood, Yun, Jiang various incense, rhinoceros jade, agate, enamel, lacquer utensils, famous paintings of Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties, gold, silver, coins and silk; Made "Wan Guo Jade Rice", and some rare delicacies and fruits as gifts.

As the royal family of Huanghuang, nothing can be saved for the empress dowager's [-]th birthday. Su Yierha has been preparing for the birthday gift since half a year ago. Among them, there are two hundred-year-old ginseng, two ganoderma lucidum, two snow lotus plants each, bamboo fungus and Hericium erinaceus. , Shanta fungus... some top-quality golden blood bird's nests, bamboo wine, fruit wine, century-old wine (this is too easy, just put the good wine you bought in the space) nine altars, red sandalwood inlaid with silk embroidered with hundreds of sons and grandchildren A screen, a partition screen for the Eight Immortals offering their birthdays, a white sandalwood Maitreya Buddha carving, a white jade Guanyin, a pair of Fu Lu Shou vases, a plate of flat peaches and silver crystal water... Written by Yinzhen and embroidered by Su Yierha "Diamond Sutra"... In addition, all kinds of leather jackets, leather robes, cotton jackets, cotton robes, cotton jackets, cotton robes made by the women's relatives in the mansion... plus the birthday gifts presented by several little elder brothers and little Gege, piled up It was full.

Well, what needs to be said is that these are all business outings involving some space products. The butler Zhang Qilin folded the bank notes and gave them to Su Yierha, who put them away and planned to keep them for his son and daughter in the future.

The Empress Dowager's birthday feast was extremely grand and lively, the Empress Dowager liked the birthday gift presented by Prince Yong's Mansion very much, and pulled her to talk with Xiao Yuanshou, who was showing up in the palace for the first time, for a long time.Fortunately, Su Yierhad that her old man's eyes were no longer news, and the empresses, Fujin, and wives of the palaces just smiled when they saw it, and the soreness in their hearts passed away.

After the Empress Dowager’s birthday, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Su Yierha left the matter to Fangcha and Xingui. Even Duozaixuan was taken care of by Chunyu, so she was really tired.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year's family name was changed to one?The sedan chair was carried into Prince Yong's mansion.

A month later, the Wanyan family also entered the mansion.
