[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

How long has the Jingcheng Jade Store been in business?Less than three months!

In less than three months, more than 900 million taels of gold was earned. What a terrifying figure!

Chen Tingjing welcomed the crown prince and Cao Zhen into the inner room with a numb face, followed by Guo Xiu who was also shocked and unwilling to leave.

The prince was not surprised by this, and greeted Guo Xiu with a smile: "Master Guo, we meet again."

Seeing his innocent smile, Guo Xiu recovered from the shock and subconsciously responded.

"Your Highness always brings me unexpected surprises," Guo Xiu sighed, his tone was gentle, completely different from his usual sharpness in court.

Guo Xiu is similar to Chen Tingjing. Chen Tingjing is naturally happy to have a fellow man who is not afraid of power in the vast officialdom, and subconsciously wants to help Guo Xiu.When he saw Guo Xiu's setbacks due to his resistance to power, he seemed to see himself back then.

But now, seeing Guo Xiu treat His Highness the Crown Prince kindly, and obviously has a good impression of the Crown Prince in his heart, Chen Tingjing hesitated to speak.

It's fine if you have a good impression of the prince, at least keep it in your heart, don't show it!

In Chen Tingjing's eyes, Guo Xiu was like a little lamb ignorant of worldly affairs, who was ignorantly "throwing himself into the net" and plunged into the prince.

The prince smiled and said: "Seeing that Mr. Guo didn't criticize Gu severely, Gu knows that such a shock is a good thing for you. Gu also thinks it is a good thing. With surplus money in the treasury, we can do more practical things."

He inadvertently glanced at Chen Tingjing, that meaningful gaze was like a big bad wolf staring at a little white rabbit.

Chen Tingjing, who had never seen anything before, showed a vigilant look in the eyes of the prince.

Chen Tingjing didn't answer either, he glanced away, instead of looking into Yinreng's eyes, he asked Cao Zhen about the details of the matter.

Guo Xiu was puzzled: Mr. Chen seemed to subconsciously avoid His Highness the Crown Prince?Why is he afraid of the prince?

Cao Zhen answered in detail what good things she had exchanged for foreigners with those jade wares.

The most expensive but inedible and unusable jade pendants were exchanged for ready-made cocoa beans, processed corn flakes, jams and other foods.

A lot of wool, leather, etc., as well as foreign books, and even gold!

It is eye-opening to say that beautiful jade is priceless, and to set a rule for the best beautiful jade to be auctioned.

What are Westerners more interested in?

Romantic love, the secret of longevity, treasures that can show status and satisfy vanity...

These things are the key to the perfect packaging of Daqing jade.

There are warm jades and cold jades in the jade, and a few poems with one mouth at the beginning can produce such a good result.

Cao Zhen took advantage of Westerners' longing for the Great Qing Dynasty to guide their fantasy of beautiful jade, which was finally auctioned at a high price.

Chen Tingjing took a deep look at him, and said with a complicated expression: "Are you Cao Yin's son? You are really a business genius, even better than your father."

Cao Yin raised the private treasury for the emperor, and also proposed to sell copper coins to increase the money in the emperor's pocket in a disguised way. Such actions would damage the interests of the common people, and would imperceptibly invest too much copper coins among the people, which would restrain the The flood of copper coins devalued!

Chen Tingjing didn't agree with Cao Yin's actions, and also stared at him to impeach him, but the emperor regarded him as one of his own and protected him. Even if he lost money, he didn't get angry, but took it lightly.

Cao Yin has been by the emperor's side since he was a boy, so he can win this honor. Now that Cao Zhen is riding with the crown prince at a young age, it can be predicted that he will also be a famous person beside the crown prince in the future.

Cao Zhen is different from his father. His father gained status because he was appreciated by the emperor, but he was despised by the civil servants who passed the formal imperial examinations. He had nowhere to express his inner distress. With Cao Zhen here, he was so proud that he wanted to tell everyone. I got a good opportunity because of the closeness of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"It was His Highness's original idea," Cao Zhen asked and answered, modest but confident.

In order not to embarrass His Highness the Crown Prince!

Today's Cao Zhen is also working hard to stand up to become the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yinfeng urged Chen Tingjing: "Master Chen, let's go through the official procedures. If you wait for Khan Ama to come back, maybe the cooked duck will fly."

He tilted his head to look at Chen Tingjing, and said helplessly: "Last time, Khan Ama reprimanded the Guping treasury as a prodigal, this time I don't know how to say it!"

Chen Tingjing: "..."

The truth is this, and the emperor's reaction can be expected. Not everyone is selfish. Even the emperor will order people to raise royal property to create a source of income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs still has to support the entire palace!

The profit from jade articles could have been used as a source of income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but once it was flushed into the treasury, the money would no longer belong to the emperor.

After all, the emperor is a wise king, and he cannot embezzle the treasury money for his own use.

Yinreng told Chen Tingjing: The duck has been cooked, and he is waiting for someone to take over. The people on his side are only responsible for cooking the duck, not serving the dishes, or helping others how to eat the duck.At that time, how to take over the jade shop, how to manage it in the future, how to continue trading with foreigners, who will be in charge, who will be dispatched to collect, etc., everything will be in charge of the household department.

The golden results were right in front of his eyes, but Chen Tingjing only felt that his eyes were dark.

According to what the prince said, I am afraid that the money will not be kept for a long time before it will be spent again in a legitimate way.

The crown prince temporarily handed over the money to the Ministry of Accounts, and the Ministry of Accounts sent people to take over the follow-up matters, and all troubles were blocked outside because it became owned by the treasury.

And the household department is the screen that blocks troubles, Chen Tingjing can almost predict how busy he will be in the future.

The heartless Guo Qin also praised His Highness the Prince for his righteousness!

He didn't see the prince's sinister intentions at all. How could this be sending money to the treasury?This is an empty-handed white wolf, and the entire household department needs to be up and running!

"Lord Chen?" The crown prince waved worriedly in front of his eyes and asked, "Do you want it? If you still hesitate, I'm afraid the money will end up in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Chen Tingjing gritted his teeth. Even if there was a huge pit in front of him, he had to bite the bullet and jump down, and then comforted himself in his heart: the money destined to be untenable was also invested in the construction of the Qing Dynasty, as long as it was good for the country , so it’s not a loss to be busy.

"want!"

Guo Qin was surprised.

When the crown prince came to give money, Chen Tingjing didn't show any joy, but felt like being "forced into prostitution", which was very strange.

Yinfeng bowed his hands to the two adults again, and said with a smile: "Gu knows that there are a lot of criticisms in the court because of Gu's purchase of jade wares. As the supervisory censor, Mr. Guo may have heard people come to you to 'complain'. "

Guo Xiu remembered why he came to Chen Tingjing, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"Now that it is known that His Highness will donate it to the treasury, this matter should be reported to the emperor and reported to the cabinet, so as to avoid many misunderstandings."

Guo Xiu didn't care about the disputes between the party members in the court, he didn't have any factions, he did things straight, and he didn't seem to be tied at all.

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Yes, I will go to the cabinet, thank you Mr. Guo for reminding me, I will follow Mr. Guo's prompt."

He could almost foresee that those who targeted him would fall in court.

The prince didn't stay for too long, and after handing everything over to the Ministry of Households, Cao Zhen patted his ass and left.

Chen Tingjing left Chen Tingjing holding the hot-handed over 900 million taels of silver, sighed deeply, and wrote a note to the emperor to "plead guilty" before returning to the book case.

The profits from jade articles can rival a country's wealth, but His Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and righteous, so he decided to donate the profits from jade articles to the national treasury to alleviate the shortage of silver in the treasury.The humble minister is ashamed, because he was tempted by profit, he failed to persuade His Highness...

Chen Tingjing needs to tell the emperor: that is what the crown prince insisted on giving him, not what he asked for.

He also needs to show that he is at fault to the emperor who protects the calf. This matter is his own fault, not the prince's fault.

In such a retreat, it is a certainty that the money will go to the household department.

After Guo Xiu went back, he really met the person who came to him to complain.

Another censor, Xi Zhu, came in a hurry and said solemnly: "The matter of His Royal Highness taking advantage of his position to fight for the interests of the people has come to fruition, and the evidence is solid. Now we only need to send the evidence to the emperor along with the impeachment letter."

Guo Qin was stunned, and asked him if he was coming for an impeachment letter.

The memorandum said: The prince of the country, for personal gain, arbitrarily lowered the price and forced the merchants to sell jade articles to him, and then borrowed a foreign post to sell jade articles to foreigners at high prices...

A huge amount of money has been made in a short period of time, and the dirty money involved may be as high as tens of thousands, and the ministers and others may have other deep meanings later.The prince holds a lot of money, not for pleasure or extravagance, extravagance and waste, not the work of a sage.

Guo Xiu put down the memorial and asked coldly, "Who ordered you to write these down?"

The chairman was taken aback when he heard the words, and almost didn't react.

In the past, as long as the evidence was solid, Guo Xiu would have taken the initiative to help him.

Guo Qin scolded: "Converting black and white, it's nonsense!"

"There is evidence for this matter, how can it be wrong?!" Xi Zhu was not convinced, but his anger gradually grew: "Could it be true that Mr. Guo has been bought by the crown prince as the court said?"

Guo Xiu smiled and taunted: "It's you who made friends with friends, but you did it. Don't think I'm a blind or fool."

"Lord Xi is ashamed of the position of Yushi, but I will not do such things against my will. The crown prince has handed over the jade profits to the state treasury, and impeached him for being extravagant and extravagant?!"

Guo Xiu hated iron and steel and slapped the table angrily: "Everyone's eyes are red and bleeding, and I don't even look at such a hen that can lay golden eggs. Can ordinary people afford it?"

Xi Zhu remained silent, his face turned blue and red for a while, Guo Xiu started talking since then, counting Xi Zhu one by one as "dishonest for the imperial censor".

"I advise you to rein in the precipice. If you hold a grudge, it's just that I have no friendship with you."

Guo Xiu's words became more serious. On this day, everyone in the Inspectorate heard the dispute between the two censors.

Yinfeng didn't know that there would be such a development in the future. Since he gave up the jade, he felt a lot easier.

With time, he began to pay attention to the current battle situation on the northern front.

Just as Khan Ama and he expected, Tsarist Russia did not send heavy troops to attack. Facing the full preparations of the Qing Dynasty and a large number of mercenaries hired from abroad, the troops left by Tsarist Russia on the border retreated steadily.

However, after the Qing army beat Yaksa back, they did not continue to pursue it.

Yinfeng murmured: "It would be great if we could capture Nerchinsk. With so many people, but killing chickens with a butcher's knife is too safe."

I can only place my hopes on the elder brother, if the elder brother has not forgotten the agreement with him, he should take action.

As for Khan Ama who is about to return to the capital, Yinreng picked up the disgusting letter sent by Khan Ama with some distress. How should he reply to the letter so that Khan Ama can feel that he misses him more than Khan Ama misses him? ?

After Cao Zhen handed over the jade business, she returned to Yinreng.

He saw the third elder brother coming with a stack of documents, which may be a list of research projects newly established by the institute.

On the other side is the fourth elder brother who has returned from studying abroad. When he saw the third elder brother holding the documents, he paused.

The two stood facing each other, and the air suddenly became quiet.

This time, all three heard the prince locked in the study alone, muttering: "Recently, the voice of opposition against Gu in the court seems to be much lighter."

The prince's talking to himself seemed like he was talking to someone.But there was no one in the study, which seemed a bit weird.

Yinzhen's expression darkened, and he opened the door to look inside: Could it be that the immortal who taught the prince is here?

[There are fewer people who oppose big friends, what does this mean? 】

Yinfeng: Of course, it means that Gu can toss about new things!

Hey, no one said anything to scold Gu, but it's really lonely like snow.

He felt that he was suffering from a disease called "itchy skin every day without being scolded a few times".

Yinfeng did what he said, and raised his voice and said to the outside world: "Preparing for the Enke Examination for Foreign Studies, I just want to recruit a group of people who can be used from foreign students. The Ministry of Rites will send people from the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Cleaning Officials to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
