The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

The heating in the house was very high. After sitting for a while, Yinzuo's body warmed up. He threw aside Yinzhen's big cloak on his shoulders, and sighed.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Yinzhen means, but he always feels that as long as Yinzhen is in charge, there will be no problem.

Sure enough, he still thought too simple. Although Yinzhen spoiled him since he was a child, and it is the same now, when he sits in that high position, he can pamper and love an arrogant and willful younger brother unconditionally, but he can tolerate him. The next prince who will pose a huge threat to his status and reputation?Even Yinzhen himself has no confidence...

Or be locked in a cage for a lifetime, or blindfolded, cover ears, turn a blind eye to the people who can't eat enough, can't afford clothes, or...

The sound outside the door awakened Yinzuo. Yinzuo looked at the door with a dark face and a crack was opened, and a tray was pushed in. Su Peisheng smiled outside: "He Junwang, lunch is here, I would like to trouble you to eat it yourself." I took it out..."

Yinzuo said angrily: "You really let me be a prisoner!"

Su Peisheng said with a smile: "Forgive me, the king. If the slave opens the door, you want to come out. The slave can't stop it, and the second is not afraid to stop... When our master comes back in a while, you have to go shopping Everything is fine..."

Yin Zuo interrupted impatiently: "Master, do you want to go to the toilet?"

Su Peisheng said: "Isn't there a flush toilet? There is also a hot water faucet... The bathtub is also newly made, so don't worry about using it with the king of the county!"

Yinzuo choked, that means he wasn't going to open the door for him when he was about to wash up later?

What does it mean to drop a rock on one's own foot?That's it!If I had known earlier, I would not have messed with these messy things!

Yinzhen was not there, so it was useless to say anything to the people below, Yinzuo didn't say anything, took the tray by himself, put the food on, suddenly felt something wrong and said: "It's not because I yelled so loudly in Qianqing Palace that I shut you down." Is it? Then what's the matter with this door?"

The cracks on the door to deliver food were not just opened, and the window, he also broke it, it was so strong that it was unbelievable.

Su Peisheng laughed dryly and said, "Isn't this a rainy day..."

Yinzuo was furious: If you want to blame him, you can blame him!It was premeditated!

Su Peisheng said outside the door: "Our master said, if you can't figure it out, don't even think about it. You can't get out anyway, and it's useless to think about it... The doors and windows of this house are all specially made, and even the roof has been reinforced. , you can live in peace, don't toss about."

He said again: "Would you like to have a drink, King Hejun? Our master recently got a few jars of good wine, and the ones shipped from the south of the Yangtze River are the most mellow..."

"Don't drink!" If you want to get him drunk, there is no way!

After I finished speaking, I regretted it again. If you don’t want to get drunk, you can pretend to be drunk!What a mistake!

Su Peisheng felt a little pity, if this master was drunk, wouldn't it be easy?

Only Yinzuo said again: "Wangcai should be here now, he doesn't know what happened yet, you send someone to tell him, let him wait in the mansion for his master to go back with peace of mind."

"Forehead……"

Yin Zuo knew something was wrong as soon as he heard the voice, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Eunuch Wangcai..." Su Peisheng hesitated, and said with a dry smile, "Eunuch Wangcai has arrived a long time ago, and he is making a scene outside our house right now, and he said he is going to sue for imperial court!"

Arrived so early, [-]% didn't listen to his words and took a car, but came here on a horse. It must be frozen at the moment, Yinzuo said: "You are almost fine! Either let him come in to serve the master, or find someone to take care of him." He took it back."

He was allowed to make trouble outside, for fear that people would not know that he was locked up!

Su Peisheng respectfully responded, and said, "Your servant will arrange it now."

Hearing the sound of his footsteps going away, Yinzuo started to eat, and didn't bother to clean up the table when he was done, so he went to sleep under the thin quilt in the inner room.

While he was eating, the ministers kneeling in the Qianqing Palace finally waited for Kangxi's reaction, and happily went home to collect the "criminal evidence" of the king and the king, and prepared to fight tomorrow—is it just a theory why the king and the king can't Do you want to be a prince?Isn't it easy to find fault with that dude?

Aptitude dull, unbearable?

This one has to be removed!How many people in Qing Dynasty dare to compare their brains with him?

Bullying men and women, licentiousness?

If this master can really be licentious, Long Live Lord will wake up laughing from his dreams!This one has to be removed too!

Selfish and capricious, common people?

Hmm... This master is a bit willful, but he is not selfish. The sixth master who explores the well, the sixth master's shovel, the sixth master's spinning wheel, the sixth master's loom, and the sixth master's nest are all acts of benefiting the people. Fish and meat People can't even talk about it...

Tyranny and injustice, harm to the people?

It doesn't count, does it?Usually in the capital, although his old man also fights and makes troubles, there is absolutely no such thing as bullying ordinary people-if he wants to bully others, he also bullies the powerful...

What a big head...

-

Yinzuo slept until mid-afternoon, when Yinzhen finally returned home, brought an imperial doctor back to give him a pulse, found that he was suffering from a cold, so he prescribed medicine, Yinzhen stared at him after drinking and locked the door to go out.

In the evening, Yinzhen came again, had dinner with Yinzuo, stared at him and drank medicine, Yinzuo was dejected: "When are you going to let me out, fourth brother?"

Yinzhen glanced at him and said lightly, "Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Yinzuo said angrily, "Didn't you tell me to think about it?"

Tomorrow will be a foregone conclusion, and he still needs to think of a fart!

Yinzhen said lightly: "You miss yours, I'll do mine."

"..." He wants to scold his mother, is that okay?No, his mother is my own mother...

Yin Zuo smiled: "Fourth Brother..."

"Huh?" Yinzhen just responded, and his eyes were already punched, and his face turned dark immediately: "Lao Liu!"

Yin Zuo responded with another punch!Eat enough, drink enough, sleep enough, just in time to beat someone!

Unprepared, Xu Zhen took several punches before finally getting out of the chair, standing up and taking two steps back, finally having room to move, and then began to fight back.

Two people, one with a steady pace and powerful fists and feet, and the other with agility and flexibility, fought evenly for a while.

Yinzhen's strength is much stronger than Yinzuo's. Although Yinzuo took the lead, Yinzhen took a few punches from him, but when he wanted to subdue Yinzhen, he was far behind - he was not as strong as Yinzhen. Who is really hard to say.

However, Yinzuo's drunkard's intention was not to drink, so he led Yinzhen to a corner, kicked him, turned around and ran away...

Blink and rush to the door—as long as you get out of this door, hum!

Reach out and pull, huh?not open...

Pull again, still not open...

Yinzhen stood up in a leisurely manner, straightened his clothes, and said indifferently: "Will you still fight?"

So cunning!He even locked the door inside!

Yin Zuo glared at him angrily: the door is locked, what else is there to fight?

Go back to the chair and sit down, pour tea for both of them, whether it is hard or soft, sighed: "Fourth brother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I still hope that I can make my own decisions .”

Yinzhen drank his tea with his head down, but remained silent.

Yin Zuo was silent for a moment, and said: "Fourth brother, I hope that if one day, when I am tired and dissatisfied with everything I have faced, I will remember that this is all my own choice, instead of resenting you and Huang A Ma's deception and persecution now—do you understand?"

"Fourth brother, you have explained the pros and cons, and you have done what you have to do. Let me make the final decision, okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen put down the teacup and said calmly, "If there is such a day, you can resent me even though...it doesn't matter."

"Fourth Brother!"

Yinzhen got up and went to the door, ordered the people outside to open the door, turned around and said: "This door will only be opened when I come back, don't waste your energy, and stop thinking about it, take a good rest."

Turn around and go out, and lock it again.

-

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the Qianqing palace was very lively.

Square: Yu Jackie, Li Guangdi, Cao Yin, Ke Dai.

Opponents: All ministers except the pros.

Topic: Is the sixth prince Yinzuo qualified to be the prince of the Qing Dynasty?

The opposing side first put forward the arguments that Yinzuo's words were absurd and he was not doing his job properly, trying to prove that Yinzuo was not worthy of being a prince, while Li Guangdi and Yu Chenglong used their own experiences to prove that Yinzuo had a correct attitude, was not afraid of hardship, and had outstanding abilities when they surveyed the river with them... ...In the end, because the opposing party did not have the experience of working with Yin Zuo, they could not provide definite evidence, so they could not fight back.

Then the opposing side put forward the argument that Yin Zuo was extravagant and wanton. Yuanzi, Zhuangzi, etc., finally questioned: In addition to these, the sixth elder brother also returned 6 taels of treasury silver for Cao Yin... Where did the sixth elder brother get so much money?Is there any illegal income?Maybe he was even more outrageous than what the deposed prince had done?

This time it's useless to have Kangxi's top vat - if Yinzuo is just an ordinary prince, you can pamper him however you like, he can spend whatever he likes... as long as he has it.But if you become a prince and still behave like this, the country will be defeated!

So Ke Dai came out as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and presented the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the years to announce how much Yin Zuo spent from childhood to adulthood.

Did Yin Zuo spend a little money?The best food, the best clothes, the best housing, antique calligraphy and paintings, and Western gadgets to his satisfaction, no matter how much money he has to buy home... How could he spend less?

But although he eats well, he never wastes it. He cooks as much as he eats. Although he wears good clothes, he doesn't like to wear new clothes. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Concubine De will make enough for him throughout the year. , he lives in the best house, but they are all public houses... Although he likes to buy this and that, he doesn't like to save things, so he turns around and gives them to others.

So although Yin Zuo spent a lot, it wasn't too much, especially when Ke Dai compared his expenses with those of the deposed prince Yinreng... Everyone fell silent.

You know, under the pampering of Kangxi and Suo'etu, the expenses of abolishing Prince Yinfeng were even greater than that of Kangxi.

If Yin Zuo spends like this, it is called extravagance, then what should the abolished prince Yin Reng be called?

Some people even secretly stunned: It's a good thing that he was abolished...

As for where Yinzuo’s money came from, Cao Yin first proved that the gardens and opera actors that Yinzuo bought in Jiangnan had been resold, and then Ke Dai took out the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in recent months to show the ministers that Yinzuo is in charge of internal affairs Since then, how much money he has earned for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finally concluded that he can reduce the price of cloth in the Qing Dynasty to [-]% of the original price by going around the south of the Yangtze River with the county king. How much money he wants can't get it? ?

So on to the next point...

There was a lot of noise here in the court, and Yinzuo's place was not clean either. He had guests.

"Little sister-in-law," Yin Zuo looked up and frowned, "There is a difference between men and women, it's not good for you to come in casually like this?"

"It's okay," Liu said with a smile, "Si Ye asked me to come here. He said he was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to talk to you."

Yin Zuo smiled and put down his pen: "What did you say?"

"What did you write?" Mrs. Liu stepped forward, took the paper in front of him, and said, "Is this a pulley?"

Yinzuo hummed and said, "Master Nan taught me before."

"This is a fixed pulley, and there are movable pulleys, do you know?"

Yinzuo looked at Mrs. Liu: Miss, why don't you sell your junior high school physics knowledge to the Lord, okay?

Mrs. Liu smiled awkwardly, she was speechless for a while, her eyes fell on the open door.

Turning around, I saw Yinzuo picked up the pen and started to write again, coughed dryly, and said: "Si Ye said, Hejun Wang, you are very interested in the affairs of my hometown, so..."

Yin Zuo asked: "Is there a private school in my sister-in-law's hometown?" First, let's talk about the school affairs, and then open a technical school in a fair manner.

"Yes, but it's not called a private school, it's called a school..." Liu was very happy that Yinzuo finally took the initiative to talk to him, briefly introduced the school of later generations, and said with a smile: "I have a cousin who is a teacher, and their school has passed down With such a sentence, saying that their school is "teachers who can teach, and those who can't teach go to the cafeteria to cook. What if they can't even cook? Then become an official!" Hahaha..."

Yin Zuo looked at Liu Shi quietly, and waited for her to laugh enough before saying: "Is the status of a teacher higher than that of an official?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head, how is it possible?

Yin Zuo let out a sigh, and said lightly: "So it's just the sour words of literati."

Mrs. Liu choked for a moment, then cheered up and talked about some public welfare projects in her hometown, gradually mentioned the hospital, and sighed: "My father, uh, is my father, and he works in the hospital. He often sighs, saying that the hospital has the best medical skills. Many good doctors have been transferred to administrative positions...that is, to become officials, and then they generally don't see patients. It is a pity that only rich and powerful people come to work. It is a pity. Thinking about it now, it would be better As my cousin said, let those who know how to teach teach well, and those who know how to heal diseases treat well! What do you think of the king of the county?"

Yinzuo said: "If good medical skills are really allowed to focus on curing diseases, and those who are not good at medical skills become officials, then how can anyone study medical skills?" It is indeed a disadvantage and a waste of resources to let those with excellent medical skills become officials. But if good medical skills don't get good treatment, wouldn't it mean that everyone doesn't treat their illnesses well, and instead runs off to seek profit?After all, it is always the reason why the administrative position is too high...

Liu was a little taken aback.

Yinzuo sighed: "Mr. Liu, could it be that the days of the cold palace in the harem will be better than yours now?"

Liu Shi was taken aback, opened and closed his lips several times, but couldn't utter a word.

Yinzuo sighed: "Mr. Liu, you are really not a smart person, so don't play tricks on these little clever people in the future."

Facts have proved that those who know how to do business don't necessarily know how to do house fights or palace fights. Otherwise, anyone with a little brain would not be instigated to do such things.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "He Junwang, you misunderstood, I just think that with your talent, it is too, too..."

Too wronged?She couldn't even say this herself, but she really felt that it would be a pity if an "inventor" like Yinzuo went into politics.

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what the fourth brother thinks." Yinzuo said: "No matter what, thank you this time, so this time I will plead with the fourth brother for you, but this time, it is the last time. "

From now on, he doesn't want to take care of this matter anymore, and he can't take care of it anymore.

Get up and go out.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"how?"

"You..." Liu's Qiqi Ai said: "Can you..."

"Can I knock you out?" Yinzuo sighed and said, "Do you know what it means to have 300 taels of silver here?"

Yinzhen is not here, as long as the door is opened, he can leave if he wants, why did he knock out a Liu family?What's more, Mrs. Liu is Yinzhen's woman, with his character, how could he knock her unconscious?There is such a big loophole, even if he told Yinzhen that he tricked Liu into opening the door and knocked her out, Yinzhen wouldn't believe it, okay?

This woman's IQ is really...

Liu's face turned pale in an instant, with tears in his eyes.

She thought that she had persuaded Yinzuo and let him go out, so Yinzuo would help her lie, but now...

What if Yinzhen comes back?

How could Yin Zuo have the energy to take care of her, shook his head, took his coat, and went out.

-

In Qianqing Palace, although the quarrel is still going on, the voice of opposition has been much smaller, but there are still two irrefutable issues: first, Yinzuo has no wife and no children, and second, Yinzuo himself does not want to be a prince!

Yinzhen finally came out with dark circles under his eyes, turning a blind eye to the whispers around him, but what he said was completely unrelated: "Huang Ama, the sixth younger brother has a seal, and I asked my son to present it on my behalf."

Is it time to book a discount?

Kangxi nodded and said, "Submit it."

Open it and take a look, then look up at Yinzhen—are you acting as a representative?Or write on behalf of it?

He closed the folder and said, "Yinzhen, tell me."

Yinzhen said: "The official salary standard of my Qing Dynasty was originally determined according to the "Da Ming Hui Dian". For example, the monthly salary of a county magistrate is about three taels, and the annual salary is 45 taels. Can you live in peace with three taels? Hejun Wang checked the Ming Huidian again and found that it records, "The seven grades, the annual salary is ninety stones, the internal color salary... seven stones for the silk salary, and finally a total of about one year to receive rice. More than two thousand catties, 27 taels of silver, and 360 banknotes, and the wives all have their own annual salary, and the administrative, personnel, and food expenses of local officials are also borne by the court. Eight people were exempted from corvee, and the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are actually much higher than those in the Qing Dynasty..."

When Yinzhen mentioned the word "salary", all the officials held their breath and listened, for fear of missing a word. After hearing it, they nodded again and again. At least it should be on par with Daming", almost moved to tears.

The salaries of the Qing Dynasty are really too low. Although they really want to let them live in a simple way, they are officials anyway!A seventh-rank official, only three taels of silver a month, you know, a first-class girl from a wealthy family costs one tael or even two taels of silver a month!

Yinzhen lowered his head, not looking at their reaction. The salaries of the Qing Dynasty were low, but the income of these officials was not low!

In the current situation, almost no officials are not corrupt, they are greedy and greedy plausibly - they can't survive!To cure corruption, we must first suppress the reasons why they have to be greedy. In his previous life, he was wrong. He should never have set up a policy of "raising honest money". Not only did it fail to suppress corruption, but it made local officials more Brazenly searched and put all the money and taxes in his pockets!

As soon as he finished speaking here, the court was already filled with approving voices, and Kangxi sat quietly without saying a word.

After a long time, when everyone gradually calmed down, Yu Chenglong smiled wryly and said: "What Brother Si said makes sense, but... where should the money come from?"

Yes, where does the money come from?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they knew best what the state treasury looked like now, but they were already beyond their means, so how could there be any money for a salary increase?

Only Yinzhen said calmly: "The Ministry of State-owned Enterprises is here."
