The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

No matter what Yinzuo said, Kangxi seemed wholeheartedly to train him to be a qualified prince, so Yinzuo only rested at home for a day before being recruited into the Qianqing Palace.

Yin Zuo was dumbfounded at the pile of papers: "Huang Ama..."

"I don't care about you and the fourth child's flamboyance," Kangxi said, "Anyway, if I'm in power for a day, you will honestly be my prince for a day!"

"But my son still has a lot of things to do," Yinzuo complained, "The Armed Forces Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been moved to the Ministry of State Operations. My son is going to test which alloy is best for arrow clusters and which one is best for swords and armor. Wait for confirmation." In the future, pouring directly with molten steel will save a lot of money than forging; the textile factory will expand, and the watch factory will start to be built... The son will be watching everywhere. The most important thing is that the son will run a school to teach physics. Learn, otherwise, if this continues, I, the dignified prince of the Qing Dynasty, will become a repairman."

Kangxi glanced at him, but was not moved by his words: It's not a day or two since these things started, isn't this kid mostly idle at home on weekdays?

There is a special person doing the alloy experiment all the time, and it will be reported to him as soon as there is any result. There are experienced supervisors in the textile factory, who build the machine according to the blueprint, and he just looks at it every now and then.The rest of the watch factory is almost entirely manual. The so-called building a factory means building a house, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all. As for the cement tiles, it has been completely taken over by the old ten, let alone him.

There is also the school. Does he know if he looks at it?The fourth child of the school helped him build it as early as a month ago, and Mr. Yang has been invited to teach some basic knowledge.

But looking at that wrinkled face, Kangxi still couldn't help but soften his heart, that's all, he is not too old anyway, let him be at ease for a few days.

Sighed: "You don't have to read the excerpts, but you can't read them. Send others to do those things, and let them go if others can't do them. First, follow me to deal with government affairs for a few days and get familiar with the government affairs. The rest, I will teach you slowly."

Yinzuo is overjoyed, it's only been a few days!I have survived going to the study for more than ten years, so what is it to read books for a few days?

Sit down on your seat honestly and read the memorial carefully.

The papers sent to the imperial court have already been preliminarily processed, not to mention the simple classification, and there is a note attached to the papers - this is the cabinet's handling opinion, commonly known as the draft.

Yin Zuo's task is to read the scriptures first, then the draft draft, and write down his own opinions on it, waiting for Kangxi to review it—not so much reading the scriptures, but learning to read the scriptures.

Yinzuo watched for more than an hour, then asked Kangxi to rest together, move his body, look out the window to rest his eyes, and then do eye exercises—he did it by himself, and Kangxi had Liang Jiugong help him.

"Huang Ama, can you make these people's notebooks more concise, five out of ten sentences are nonsense - the rhetoric is gorgeous enough, but if you read too much, you will easily get tired of it!"

He could understand how these people wanted to show off their talents in front of Kangxi, but it was really tiring to see too much.

"Then what are you going to do?" Kangxi raised his head, Ren Liang Jiugong stroked his eyebrows, and said, "I can still stipulate how many words can be written in an excerpt?"

Yin Zuo raised his hands in agreement: "Yes, yes!"

"Bullshit!"

Yin Zuo is not angry: Weibo still has a 140-character limit!What's wrong with being short and concise?Why are you messing around?

After finishing the exercise, Yin Zuo didn't read the booklet, and tore a piece of paper to start writing.

"What is this for?"

"Writing notes!"

Kangxi shook his head and laughed, and said: "Succeed, you write, I will read yours first after finishing writing."

Except for Yinzhen's impostor note, Kangxi has never seen Yinzuo's official playbook.

Yin Zuo's writing speed was very fast and his thinking was quick, so he had already finished writing the stack of papers on the Kangxi case before he had finished approving them.

Kangxi picked up the first piece of paper, shaking his head and laughing. This thing is called a notebook, but it is more like an article, and it actually has a title-suggestion on the classification of memorials.

nondescript.

Continue reading and find that the content inside is still worth reading. Yin Zuo suggested that the memorials be divided into three types: Zoushi zhezi, Anzhe zhezi, and Zhizhao Yuqian secret Zhezi.No matter what kind of notebook, the person who submits the memorial must seal the memorial with a seal, then put it into a leather case issued by the imperial court, seal it and lock it, and send it to the Memorial Office of the Qianqing Palace.The lock was unlocked by an illiterate eunuch at the office, and then sent to various places according to the category and grade shown on the cover.

The memorandum needs to be written with a yellow cover memorial, and different symbols are used on the cover to distinguish the priority level. The most important and most urgent things are submitted directly to the imperial court, and the rest are classified and handed over to the cabinet for disposal. After being drafted, they are submitted to the emperor for approval, or Send back to the ministries.

The booklets for Announcement, Thank You, Birthday, etc. are all covered in blue, and after being counted by the cabinet, they will be submitted together with the roster, and the emperor can preview them at his leisure.

The secret folders are unified into a black cover. Once the office is removed, the original box will be locked back immediately, and it will be presented to the imperial court.

All memorials must be unsealed in front of the emperor or the cabinet ministers in person. If there is any damage to the seal or loss of memorials, they will be investigated to the end and severely punished.

Later on, you can see the selfishness of this boy Yin Zuo. The notes on the matter need to be concise and to the point, please An’s notes should be beautifully written, customs, oil, salt and rice prices, good words and sentences can all be reported...

To put it bluntly—you just write all the nonsense in the notebook!Lord, don't read prose, poetry, greeting cards, congratulations, etc. as reading comprehension!

After watching Kangxi shake his head and laugh, it's hard for this kid to blink his eyes for an idea, and he worked hard just to be lazy.

However, the method is really good. It can reduce his burden and at the same time, let the urgent and important matters be dealt with immediately. The most important thing is that when all the papers are presented to the corresponding people, they are handled by illiterate eunuchs, and All the excerpts were not allowed to be opened, and no one even knew who wrote the excerpts before unpacking, which greatly increased the secrecy, and also deprived the minions of the bottom of the opportunity to play tricks.

There are also things and customs, the price of oil, salt and rice, etc., which can be seen in the booklet, and many clues can be seen. You must know that Jiangnan Cao Yin and others' secret compromises are all about these.

Beckoning Liang Jiugong over, he said, "Send the crown prince's papers to the cabinet and let them draw up the regulations."

There are still many things in it that are too general, such as how to divide the priority levels, etc. There are many details that need to be perfected. In addition, it depends on how to combine with the rules currently in use.

Liang Jiugong went, and Kangxi opened Yinzuo's second book.

This excerpt has a standard format, but the number of words is a bit too small—the current article is full of dense circles, which is difficult to read and lacks aesthetic feeling, so it is recommended to introduce Western punctuation marks.

Behind it is a large "Appendix", which indicates the usage of more than ten kinds of punctuation marks. In addition to Western punctuation, it also includes the sentence reading and other symbols that have been used in Chinese.

However, Kangxi didn't think it was necessary. He had used sentence reading for decades, and he didn't find it inconvenient. It must be the same for other people.And this thing is not like an excerpt, they can write whatever they want, this thing has to be accepted by scholars all over the world.

Seeing Kangxi's hesitation, Yin Zuo hurriedly said: "Confucius said that when three people walk together, there must be my teacher, and we must learn from other people's good things! You see that in ancient times, there was no sentence to read. Sometimes the ancestors said a sentence, It is forced to be interpreted into more than a dozen meanings - this is not called profound meaning, this is called ambiguity!"

Seeing that Kangxi was unmoved, Yinzuo continued his efforts: "With sentence reading, the meaning is clear, and the speed of reading can be at least [-]% faster. You think, originally you have to read the booklet for five hours, but you can finish it in four hours. Save trouble? There are also scholars, who can read five books in the time it takes to read four books, and..."

Kangxi sighed: "If this is used in Manchu, there is nothing to say. It's just a matter of saying a word, but the scholars of the Han people have always been stubborn. To put it bluntly, even if we are the royal family, they still look down on us—how can we?" Can we let us point fingers at this?"

"It's not easy!" Yin Zuo said: "Let's find someone to use this thing to write a few good articles that are well-known and popular, and spread them in the name of the Han people. As long as the article is good enough to convince everyone, they will naturally If you accept this new thing, you will definitely follow suit. At this time, Huang Ama announced that this will be used for memorials and exams in the future, and those people will think proudly, look, our things, even the imperial court It’s rare! So it’s a matter of course, and everything will be fine!”

Kangxi said unhappily: "Do you think that there are good articles that are popular and convincing to everyone? Can you write one for me to read?"

"I……"

The words "I write, I write" almost blurted out. Fortunately, Yin Zuo thought in time that there is still a Liu family in this world. Her mouth is really not strict, and there is someone Jing Yinzhen beside her, as long as she knows, she will be tricked out by Yinzhen in minutes.

"My son can't write it, but my son can find someone to write it." Of course he can write articles, but the level is ranked according to the excellent and the poor, which is between the excellent and good.

Kangxi was obviously not very concerned about this matter, and said: "Well, when your article convinces me, I will believe that it can convince everyone."

This perfunctory effort!

Yinzuo got angry and said, "Son, go find someone now!"

So he fled.

Looking at his upright and bright son, Kangxi shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and let him go.

Get up and sit in Yinzuo's seat, carefully read the documents he has approved, and can't help but sigh: his son's aptitude is still higher than Yinreng's, if he can be more diligent and hard-hearted, then no matter whether it is the country or the family It's best to leave it to him—but it doesn't matter, he can still afford to wait now, after a few years, maybe he won't be so playful and naive anymore.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Yin Zuo went to see Concubine De first as usual - she should be called Empress now, before leaving the palace and returning to the mansion.

After lunch, she had a good night's sleep, packed up and practiced calligraphy. The butler came in and said, "Master, there is a young man outside, holding your incense burner from last year, and said he has something to see, look..."

incense burner?

Yinzuo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Let him in."

Sure enough, he is a young man who has met a few times, but his clothes are much neater than the previous few times, and his cleaning is also clean. Yin Zuo asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "I have been to the place where you live, and I thought you were Brother and sister lost their lives in the fire, and now it seems that they have escaped, which is really gratifying."

"You know it," the young man bowed his head and said, "I hid under the wall that day and saw you, Prince, from a distance, but I didn't dare to approach you."

Yinzuo nodded, and asked again: "I can't live there now, where do you brothers and sisters live now?"

"It's still there."

"Huh?" Where is there?

"It's still in Liu Ye's nest. It's very cold outside. We stayed all night looking for a place, but we couldn't stand it anymore, so we moved back again." The young man paused, and said, "Not only us, but everyone else has gone back too. ...Don't worry, prince, we will be careful in the future, and we won't start a fire indiscriminately again... If anyone wants to commit a crime again, we don't need to speak to the official, we will drive him out..."

Yinzuo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, waved his hands and said, "What's the matter with you coming here this time?"

"Yes!" The boy knelt down with a thud, and tears fell from his eyes: "I beg the prince, help me find a girl for you! I will be a cow and a horse for you in the future, and repay your kindness..."

"Get up and talk," Yinzuo frowned and said, "What happened to your sister? Lost?"

With the help of Wangcai, the young man got up, wiped away the tears that could not be wiped away, and cried: "We are three brothers and sisters, and we don't want to be beggars for the rest of our lives, so my eldest brother and I are looking for work outside. The girl thinks We worked hard, and we also found a job for a little girl, who signed a contract of employment. We agreed to come back once a month, but when the time came, there was no one. , the little one asked a lot, and said that the younger sister had quit her job. If the younger sister really quit her job, how could there be any reason not to go home? So the younger one stayed outside their house for two days, and finally stopped them The housekeeper, but their housekeeper said that the younger sister left by herself. If the younger one asks again, he will order the servant to drive the younger one away, and not allow the villain to come near."

"The villain really can't do anything, so he and his elder brother go out to look for it every day, but there is no trace at all," the young man said: "There is no way, the little one went to Shuntian Mansion to report to the official, and those people just wrote it down and sent them away." Little ones go, little ones..."

He hesitated for a while, and said: "I was afraid that they would not pay attention, so I lit up the incense burner you gave me, the crown prince, and then Mr. Shuntian Fu Yin met the little one in person, and said that I would definitely investigate. After that Two days later, I went to ask again, but I couldn't see Mr. Fuyin. The master of the book office told me that I had already checked, and the little girl was indeed no longer there, and I didn't know where she went. Don't look for it anymore, I gave the little one 50 taels of silver..."

"The young one always feels that he is a little insincere, but no matter how the young one asks, the master of the book office refuses to say more, and only tells the young one not to look for it again." The young man said: "The prince doesn't know something. It's small, but it's very beautiful. I wondered if I was kidnapped by a kidnapper and sold to a dirty place, so I went to the street to look for it during the day, and went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion at night... But the girl didn't find it, but she escaped the fire."

Yinzuo roughly understood the beginning and end of the matter, and ordered Wangcai: "You take him to see Shuntian Fu Yin personally, and ask what's going on."

Wangcai readily agreed, and left with the boy.

Yin Zuo still remembered that well-behaved and stubborn little girl, feeling a little panicked in her heart, got up and opened the window, there was no one in the air outside.

Yinzuo frowned slightly, and remembered what he had told Chen Zhuo - it had been two days, with Chen Zhuo's character of jealousy, he shouldn't have done it yet, with his arrangement, coupled with Chen Zhuo's skill, he should It's going to be very smooth, why hasn't there been any movement until now?

Although that person is a guilty minister, the clan government dare not report his death, right?

Chen Zhuo didn't even say a word, could it be that he missed his hand and was ashamed to see others?

Just as he was thinking, the voice of "Greetings to King Yongjun" came from outside, Yinzhen entered the door one step faster than the servants who informed him, waved his hand to order the servants to retreat, and said: "Suo'etu is dead."

Yinzuo said "Oh".

Seeing that his reaction was flat, Xu Zhen frowned and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Yinzuo said: "What does the fourth brother ask this for? It's just that a damned person died."

Yinzhen said: "The eighth brother is not here, Huang Ama will leave this matter to me. If it has nothing to do with you, I will check it out. If it has something to do with you, I will find you a substitute. It's as simple as that."

Yin Zuo frowned: "Replacing the dead ghost?" He didn't like this word very much.

Yinzhen glanced at him and said: "It's ready-made to replace the dead ghost. For this year, someone has been secretly sending food to Suo'etu. The order received by the clan's mansion was that as long as he didn't die, it was fine, so Food and water were delivered only once a day. Later, seeing that he was always hungry, the interval became wider and wider. He even went to see him for four or five days. So this time the man died for a few days before the body was found... the place where the house entered the door , there were sporadic wine and vegetables scattered on the ground, presumably it was left by someone who came to deliver food to him, saw the corpse, and accidentally dropped the food box in shock."

The so-called scapegoat is naturally the person who delivered the water and the people behind him.

Yinzuo nodded: "It is true that I sent someone to kill him."

Between him and Yinzhen, there is no need to cover up these things, it will be troublesome to cause accidental injuries.

Yinzhen frowned and said, "Suo'etu in the clan's mansion is nothing more than dead. Why should you dirty your hands for him?"

Yin Zuo glanced at him, and said calmly: "Since he is willing to survive in that kind of place, it can be seen that he is still afraid of death. Since he is afraid of death, it is naturally worth killing - besides, the Suo'etu people are locked up , I didn’t close my mind, fourth brother, don’t tell me, you don’t want to kill him.”

Yinzhen sighed: "Yesterday, I have ordered the clan mansion to guard the gates - if there is no one to bring him food and water, he will starve to death in three to five days... But you are quick."

There was only a fire in the middle of the night, and there were a lot of people clamoring at the court meeting in the early morning that the prince was unknown. He would not believe it if he said there was no premeditated arson. After much deliberation, it turns out that Suo'etu has such a big hand-how can such a person be locked up?

He frowned again and said, "Who did you find to kill him?"

"how?"

Yinzhen said: "Suo'etu was tortured before his death, and then drowned by stuffing his head into a toilet... According to the scene, he was stuffed into the toilet more than once, and every time before he died, he was dragged out. Take your breath away and continue..."

Yinzuo retched and said, "fourth brother, can you stop talking about such disgusting things?"

His eyes accidentally fell on the bananas on the table, he retched again, and said repeatedly: "Take it away..."

Yinzhen said seriously: "Don't change the subject! That person is very dangerous, if you can't completely control him, leave him to me..."

Yinzuo said: "I asked him to ask Suo'etu if the arson incident had anything to do with him... Probably Suo'etu's mouth is too hard, so he suffered a bit! Fourth brother, don't worry about my business It's time!"

Yinzhen frowned: "Is it Chen Zhuo?"

Yinzuo knew that he couldn't hide it, and Yinzhen could find out the whereabouts of those people who went to sea. He nodded and said: "He is just a bit jealous, and he will never do me any harm. Don't worry, fourth brother."

Yinzhen sighed: "You are the prince now, as long as you open your mouth, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for you? Chen Zhuo's background is unknown, and you are a Han, you..."

"Got it! Got it!" Yinzuo interrupted him impatiently: "I won't use him next time! Fourth brother, aren't you still busy investigating the case? Don't waste your time, let's go!"

How could Yinzhen fail to hear the perfunctory in his words, but he also knew that with Yinzuo's character, he would definitely not be able to do anything like cross rivers and demolish bridges, even if he dared to attack Chen Zhuo, he would immediately turn against him and had no choice but to leave ——In the future, we can only let the people below watch more.
