Kangxi had no idea what was happening in the capital. His entire mind was on Jiangnan, and he was so busy that he was dizzy. If it weren't for his sons who were excellent helpers, he would have neglected sleep and food.

Fortunately, despite being busy, the results are very good.

As problems were solved one after another, the entire Jiangnan area took on a new look, as if it had a new look.

Officials were replaced, and a new group of officials moved in. The grain and salt transportation were all taken over by the court, and the prices of grain and salt were all lowered.

Kangxi also took out the salt-making method that was firmly in his mind, and affordable salt became available to the people. In the Jiangnan region where Han culture was very strong, Kangxi and the court also gained a better reputation.

Many people who still remember the Ming Dynasty feel complicated and bitter in their hearts, but they can't say anything. After all, this court and this emperor really care about treating the people well.

Even those princes who were only in their teens were working diligently for the people. They saw every scene, so how could they say anything bad?

I can only sigh and hope that the imperial court can always maintain this style and hope that these princes can always do practical things for the people of the world.

They are all ordinary people, so why would they have the extra time to pay attention to the changes of dynasties and the transfer of imperial power? As long as those in power treat them well, that is enough.

Yinzhen and Yinzhi saw all these behaviors and kept them in mind, but said nothing.

They were the ones who published the Qing Daily and supervised the establishment of the charity hall. During this period, they spent the most time with the people, so they were quite touched.

Among them, Yinzhen was the most deeply touched.

He had been an emperor and felt a greater sense of the responsibilities of an emperor.

When people in later generations mention Yongzheng, they will evaluate him as a doer who really works for the people.

But he himself doesn't think so.

He always felt that he wasn't doing enough.

It is said that he dealt with a lot of memorials, was busy with state affairs every day, and neglected sleep and food.

But does the fact that he handles a large number of memorials really mean that he is efficient in serving the people?

No, it took a long time for each memorial describing important events to be sent from all over the country to the imperial palace and delivered to him.

Even if it is an expedited delivery of 800 miles, it cannot be delivered on the same day.

It takes time to send documents from one place to the palace; it takes time for him to review them; it takes time to discuss solutions with his ministers; it takes time to send the reply back; it takes time for the decisions to be implemented in various places ... ...

This back and forth process takes a very long time, so how can we expect timely approval?

Not timely at all.

One of the reasons why Yinzhen liked later generations very much was their "timeliness".

No matter what happens, we can respond quickly and take action. Perhaps with the help of technology, but it would be difficult to achieve this level without unity.

But, it is simply impossible for them to be united now.

There is a saying that goes "The sky is high and the emperor is far away", and Yinzhen thought it made a lot of sense.

Being in the imperial city, one has no idea what is happening in the outside world. All information is transmitted through ministers. They only need to hide certain aspects. The emperor in the imperial city is nothing more than a blind and deaf man with his eyes and ears covered.

Just like he promulgated laws and policies and spread them throughout the world, what good is it? If the people below do not obey and do not work carefully, then it is just a decoration.

Two words: useless!

Being a king is difficult is not just talk. Yinzhen truly felt that being an emperor was difficult, so he did not want to be an emperor in this life. At best, he wanted to be a wise king who worked hard.

As for the emperor and so on...

Thinking that his Khan father and his second brother, the Crown Prince, had already agreed to give the throne to his thirteenth brother, Yinzhen's eyes shifted a little guiltily.

He feels that this is actually somewhat of his fault.

After all, he had always known that he was the first choice of Khan Ama and the Second Prince, but because his resistance was too obvious, the two of them were embarrassed to force him too much, so they inexplicably shifted their attention to his Thirteenth Brother.

emmm... ... It seems like he was the one who cheated his Thirteenth Brother?

Thinking of his four-year-old brother Xiang, Yinzhen felt even more guilty.

Then, feeling guilty, he pushed all the responsibilities onto others, especially onto Khan Ama, and secondly onto his second brother, the Crown Prince.

The main focus is to never waste time on internal conflicts.

In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, it is also possible. In the beginning, it was his younger brother Xiang who was the virtuous king for him, so in this life it is his turn to be the virtuous king for his younger brother Xiang. It is just the right thing!

In this way, Yinzhen convinced himself to be an unscrupulous brother.

It's a pity that Xiao Shisan is still counting the time in the distant Forbidden City waiting for his beloved fourth brother to return. He has no idea that his good brother in two lives has also joined the army of brothers who betray their younger brothers and specifically betrays him.

Forbidden City, Yonghe Palace

Xiao Shisan is acting as Yin?'s savior.

Yes, that’s right, it’s Yin?’s savior.

Because the fact that Yinzhen smashed Yinzhen's glass cup was exposed, he is now being hunted by Yinzhen.

He was chased from Chuxiu Palace to Yikun Palace, then to Cining Palace, then to Shangshufang, Yanxi Palace, Chengqian Palace, and now to Yonghe Palace.

Yin? It’s so miserable. His own mother in Chuxiu Palace couldn’t protect him, Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace couldn’t protect him, the Imperial Mama in Cining Palace couldn’t protect him, he couldn’t find anyone in the Upper Study, his own myna in Yanx Palace couldn’t protect him, and the Empress in Chengqian Palace still couldn’t protect him.

With no other way to escape, he had no choice but to try his luck and run to his four-year-old brother for shelter.

His ninth brother chased him with the shovel he had used to dig a hole to bury the remains of the glass lamp. He almost ran all over the palace and did not stop even when he was exhausted and out of breath. It was enough to show how angry he was.

Yin? was very worried that he would not see the sun tomorrow, so as soon as he rushed into Yonghe Palace, he hid under Xiao Shisan's bed, and cried and begged Xiao Shisan not to betray him, otherwise he would kill himself in Yonghe Palace!

"... ... Hmm?" Little Thirteen blinked his eyes after feeling threatened, and immediately opened the bed curtains to shout loudly for his Ninth Brother.

Yin? realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly climbed out half of his body, clasped his hands and bowed to Xiao Shisan, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't shout, you know I usually don't think before I speak, please, please, don't shout, I beg you!"

His request was so sincere that Xiao Shisan reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will save your life."

After signaling Yinzhen to continue hiding, Xiao Shisan opened the door and went out to look for Yinzhen.

By the way, what big mistake did Brother Ten make to cause Brother Nine to hunt him down everywhere?

Xiao Shisan was very curious and decided to find his ninth brother to find out the truth.

Then, as soon as he went out, he saw his ninth brother sitting on the steps at the door, holding a shovel and staring blankly.

Little Thirteen was very surprised. He looked back and saw that there was no one under the bed. Then he closed the door and walked to sit next to Yinzhen. He asked curiously, "Nine Brothers, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask. Asking is just sitting back and waiting."
