starling is not a bird

Taizhou was originally a small town. Because it has occupied the main roads these years, the local people have a little bit of a mind and followed the caravan to run business from north to south. It has also become a bit of a climate, and there are also a few families in the city that have been rich for generations.

Only after being rich for three generations can we know how to dress and eat. The wealthy households in Taizhou do not rush to study food and clothing. What is more important is how to expand and expand this wealth.

Suyang and Suyang have been rich and famous since ancient times. In a small place in Taizhou, only by drilling and drilling can they get some interest from the hands of big merchants.

The county next door has a great person, this kind of news spreads word of mouth and soon let the interested people know, the prince, we can't please, those Taoists, governors, and academics are not in Taizhou, so the prince's slaves we You can always flatter me, right?At any rate, the shiny gold was held out, but it was still a bit flimsy.

Gold leaves were put in the snack box, and silver notes were stuffed in the middle of the ink cartridge. They happily gave it away and accepted it happily.

The sound of gongs and drums has been raging for ten days, just when everyone thought it would be calm, the servant of Prince Ding suddenly handed out a post about Prince Ding, sent it to the temple on the mountain in person, and asked someone to post the post, ten days later. On the evening of the fifth day, there will be a flowing water table and a full set of Buddhist rituals.

The eminent monks rattled and took a bath, the master in charge of Zuixianlou was chopping dried shrimps, and the young man hired idlers with money to bring all the old people over 60 years old from the city and the countryside to the city. , watching the lively Mulian rescue his mother, guessing lantern riddles at night, and eating flowing water seats.

The dancer on the flower stage has a light posture and bright clothes. From time to time, she throws the flowers and willow branches in her hands to the audience, winning bursts of applause.

Cars and horses were banned from entering the entire official road, and the small square tables were filled with chicken, duck and fish, and the old people were eating happily in the clothes that they were only willing to part with during the Chinese New Year, and pots of fine wine were constantly supplied.

When the willows were on the top of the moon, the bouquet was half drunk, but the beauty jumped on tiptoe and flew straight up to the high place, pulling the red ribbon thrown down from the third floor, everyone was stunned.

The bright red birthday peaches were sprinkled from the sky, and the old people stood up to grab them, but they turned into incense powder in their hands. After a while, everyone laughed.

The county magistrate got up to give a speech, nothing more than wishing all the elders a long life, and then looking forward to the future, thanking the emperor for his mighty grace, thanking the emperor for his protection, and finally thanking Prince Ding for his care.

But the young servant stood up with a smile, and cupped his hands: "Neighbors and elders, the villain is very polite. On a good day, the Empress Dowager's birthday, the prince and prince are filial, the villain came to buy, thank you all My supporter, now a good show is dedicated to the chief, and there is also a ceremony to pray for the blessings and disaster relief of the neighbors!"

The people below all stood up, applauded loudly, applauded vigorously, and excitedly threw the flowers and willow branches they had snatched back onto the stage. The young man smiled and waited for everyone to calm down before speaking again: "We are the prince. The most benevolent, considerate and humble, even though it is for the Queen Mother's birthday, buying all kinds of utensils is [-]% higher than the market price, never bullying the market and competing with the people for profit!"

As he spoke, he shook out a roll of brocade silk, on which the prices and weights were clearly marked with vermilion cinnabar, and ordered people to hang the brocade silk high up on the flagpole for people to look carefully.

The applause below heated up again, and the young man smiled and raised his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet: "Prince Ding loves the people like his son, and I can't bear you to suffer losses. The purchases let you earn only small profits. The people's livelihood is difficult, life is not easy, and the money is gone. Come and come, it is better to have a permanent property in the world."

The voice of whispering became louder, full of surprise and doubt but dare not ask, is there a permanent property in the world?What a tone!See how the boy steps down.

The young man hurriedly called someone, took out a brocade box, opened it, and a stack of land deeds, he held up the land deeds: "Is there any king in the world, merchants are willing to honor the prince, donate land to support the common people , Prince Ding accepts your favor, now Prince Ding is happy to donate [-] hectares of real estate, all of which will be used to support the people who are over [-] years old, no matter men or women, they will get money, food and cloth every year!"

This news stunned everyone, and when everyone understood it, there was thunderous cheers, and someone immediately took the lead in shouting: "Prince Ding's great kindness is unforgettable."

Then there were cheers one after another, and the boy handed the brocade box to the local officials, and said with a smile: "This property will be kept by you, Wanwang has the people in his heart, and the prince in his heart."

The wealthy households had mixed feelings in their hearts, but they were not embarrassed at this moment. They squeezed through the crowd and surrounded the boy. Your kindness is enough, what's more, now that the common people also accept your kindness, wouldn't it be more convenient in the future? The local people are more humane, and the business is easier to do. Isn't this the good intentions of the prince? Don't do it! Anxious."

The merchants figured it out a little bit, and hurriedly bowed to the end: "After all, you are a nobleman, because you understand better than us people, and you have been taught and taught."

On the second day, the boy got up early and walked to the market. Encouraged by the enthusiastic eyes of the people along the way, someone stuffed him with a steamed bun and handed him a fruit from time to time.

When we arrived at the gate of the city, a local aristocratic family actually came over with a Wanmin Umbrella. The boy didn’t dare to pick it up. He had no official or job position. After accepting this thing, the imperial censor impeached him. Did he cause trouble for his master?

In the Forbidden City, Prince Yong said leisurely: "The emperor's grandmother's birthday was originally intended to be invested heavily, but now the situation in various places is unknown and the military expenditure is large. Please ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be simple and frugal. I think the emperor's grandmother also thinks the same way."

Before Kangxi could make a sound, Thirteen Baylor jumped out: "What the fourth brother said is that it is not in these forms. All good filial piety comes first. If you are not good at deeds, there is no filial son in the world. What the fourth brother remembers in his heart is Huang Ama. , is the people of the world, not his own name! He is the true filial piety."

Fourteen Baylor chuckled: "Fourth brother is really filial, which of us is fake filial piety? This is what you say, overturning a boatload of people with one pole! But it's true, brother thirteen, you haven't been in the household department for a long time, so it's okay if you don't know the situation. How did I hear that Huguang is familiar, Guangdong and Guangxi used new looms for silk and silk, this year the treasury collected [-]% more taxes, and my younger brother, I helped the tenth brother to thoroughly investigate the military officers who were not paid. If you really want to save money, let’s start with us, Brother Thirteen, why don’t you withdraw silver taels from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why do you want to deduct the birthday of the imperial grandmother?”

Thirteen Baylor didn't expect to be attacked head-on. Strict thrift was always promoted by Kangxi with all his heart. Prince Yong had already communicated with him. Choose something reputable as a birthday present, and don't be extravagant, so as to win a good impression.

Who knew that Fourteen Baylor jumped out and said that he was well-founded. He didn't hold his big hat, but was detained instead, which really made him unhappy.

Prince Yong hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, my son definitely doesn't want to cheat on the emperor's grandmother, but only thinks about Huang Ama wholeheartedly. It's because my son didn't think well."

Kangxi shook his head: "What are you talking about! You also have a good heart. It is a good habit to be frugal at any time. It is only for children, so you can only save from yourself and serve your elders. You must not save from your elders!"

Min Baylor stood up with a smile: "Huang Ama, my son has prepared good things here, but they are rare, and I will wait for the day to bring them out. Bo Huang's grandmother smiled, Huang Ama, don't worry, my son will eat bran and swallow vegetables by himself. I also want to cut off the meat from the thigh and fry it for the emperor's grandmother and Huang Ama!"

Everyone laughed, Kangxi pretended to stare at him: "I don't know you yet, you are a cornucopia, you will never be poor, others don't know, I don't know yet? The new looms from Guangdong and Guangxi were brought back by your merchant ship Yes, you sold the extra silk to foreign countries, and you have contributed a lot to the increase in the treasury."

Min Baylor was not modest either, he laughed: "That's what a son should do, sharing worries for Huang Ama is a blessing for his son, and it will be good to reward his son with the word "Fu" at that time."

Seeing Kangxi and Min Baylor talking lively, Thirteen Baylor secretly felt that he had miscalculated. Mynah bought beauties with such fanfare, so there was no guarantee that there would be no forced buying and selling. In order to please him, the people below would buy and sell good families. When the time comes If I impeach him, he must be ashamed. Now mynah is regarded above my fourth brother. If I don't step on him, how can my fourth brother be in the top position?If the fourth brother is smart, pulling himself out early is also a right arm, or if the fourth brother sees the situation clearly, it is good to support himself, but the fourth brother is stubborn, so I have to think more for him.

Fourteen Baylor didn't understand Thirteen Baylor's meaning. He only felt that it would be meaningful to object to anything that the fourth brother was in favor of, especially what Thirteen Baylor was desperately advocating, which is definitely not a good thing.

Thinking of yesterday, Min Beilet sent someone to send over the account of the household department, the account of the military department, and various other details. He really felt that the starlings were not ordinary people, and they knew things like a god. Make a fuss about it?

Fourteen Baylor didn't know that Prince Ding suffered such a big loss when he did things back then. He did things purely for the sake of doing things, and he only wanted to feel at ease. The big hat is deceiving people, but also results and reputation are needed.

Repay the body with the way of the other, look through the history books, most of the Taoists are strict with others, treat themselves leniently, and do whatever is beneficial to themselves, and when they meet others, they are not willing to relax in their mouths and pens.

The killing knife is fast and ruthless, and those who put their heads down and worked hard will suffer instead, gaining a stigma for nothing, and leaving a bad reputation in the history books.

Now that he has taken the lead in this life, he must not repeat the same mistakes. Prince Ding was not a stupid person in the first place, but when facing his brothers and relatives, he inevitably kept a little bit of tenderness, a little bit of vigilance, and scars. Gone, but the lessons learned in pain are still there.

This time, at any time, he put up 12 points of energy. No matter what the situation, he first guessed the opponent's worst situation, first predicted the worst situation, and prepared the best response. Anticipating the enemy's first opportunity is nothing but disappointment and despair. It was nothing more than a precaution afterward, thinking about it, it was a bit painful, more painful than when I was really hurt, because I was disappointed in others at that time, but this time I was disappointed in myself!

The beauty has come to Beijing, dancing in the palace under the banner of presenting gifts to the empress dowager, the household department has a lot of money, who is going to talk too much about how much the emperor's son spends on his grandmother's birthday celebration?

The empress dowager is not likely to be very satisfied with such a perfunctory singing and dancing, but Kangxi is really flattered, his beautiful eyes are full of hope and his smile is charming, and the cuteness of the little beauty allows him to temporarily escape all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life and indulge in gentleness. the countryside.

And the caring and sensible Prince Ding has also benefited, the concubine Jia has received many rewards, the pregnant Bafu Jin has also received Kangxi's own eyes, the palace has rewarded Yan Xi to serve her, and her natal family has also been promoted. A concubine's son went to be a second-class shrimp and a third-class shrimp, all under the command of King Dunjun. Who knew that this was for Prince Ding?

Just when everything was going smoothly, a memorial broke Prince Ding's peaceful plan!

The county magistrate of Wu'an County wrote a letter, imploring Emperor Kangxi to re-establish the crown prince. The country cannot be without a crown prince.
