He Shen

Qianlong got angry at Fukang'an and Shanbao, and returned to Qingxi Bookstore to tell Fu Heng, "Fukang'an is getting more and more presumptuous."

Unexpectedly, Fu Heng didn't take it seriously, "It's just drinking flower wine. I think back then, Long Live went to the Qinhuai River as a slave." A ready-made state official has the face to criticize others.

Qianlong was a little embarrassed, and teased, "Xiaochuner, do you want to go again? After a year or two of southern tour, I will accompany you."

Fu Heng always ignored Qianlong's nonsense.

"Zhen'er is going to see those beautiful girls tomorrow, do you want Xiaochun'er to accompany me?"

Fu Heng thought about the business, and asked seriously, "Which lady do you want to point to Fu Kang'an?"

Qianlong smiled awkwardly, "Guess."

Guess your mother's head.Fu Heng shut up without changing his face.

Fukang'an has had a hard time recently, not to mention how many times he was kicked, Shanbao also looked at him in the wrong way, and always felt that there was something wrong with him.

Shanbao was not as favored in front of Qianlong as he was in the past, and Qianlong would not lose his grace to find him. However, since the reception of the Tibetan chieftain, he has not been sent to him.

The task of meeting Ali and Zhuo fell on the fifth elder brother.

Shanbao went back to the time when he was on duty to watch the gate, and now his colleague on duty was replaced by Buyan Dalai, and Fukang'an was transferred by Qianlong to the household department as a servant.

Every time Shanbao thinks of this, his teeth itch with hatred, damn it, let him be the servant of the household department for the guy who has no hair yet!Damn official N generation!

Shanbao was unhappy, and when Fukang'an went to his house, he would inevitably stab Fukang'an.

Fukang'an turned out to be magnanimous, all kinds of cynicism, all when the breeze was blowing on his face, all kinds of gestures made Shanbao feel that Fukang'an was more and more suspicious.

However, Shanbao has always been calm, seeing that Fukang'an could not be hit verbally and spiritually, he stopped fighting for the time being.In any case, the Fucha family is a first-class wealthy family, and Shanbao will not break with the Fucha family unless it is absolutely necessary.

Fukang'an is now working in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he murmured to Shanbao, "I didn't know before, alas, this imperial court is inseparable from the word money. Today, the Governor of Water Transport made another note, saying that there is insufficient funds. , I want the court to allocate money."

Shanbao didn't quite understand the current system, but the transportation industry has always been a profiteering industry. He picked up a red strawberry and asked with a smile, "This is really strange. If you don't pay tribute and taxes for the court, why do you still ask the court?" silver?"

"You are really a strange story through the ages." Fukang'an saw that Shanbao didn't understand the reason, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he explained to him in detail, "Silai Water Transport is responsible for the collection, delivery and delivery of grain. The ship system, transportation and garrison, the repair of grain transport roads, canal and river administration, etc. are all the affairs of the governor of the water transport. Think about it, the water transport passes through the Huaihe River in the north and reaches Tongzhou, thousands of miles, and these officials on the water transport alone Soldiers have to pay so much money a year to support them, as well as the maintenance and depreciation of the sandboats, the maintenance of the canal, etc. No wonder the money is always not enough. But the governor of the water transport is also funny. As soon as the official grain and silver arrived, he cried poorly to the court. This is also the norm.”

Shanbao frowned, then smiled and said, "Could it be that so many boats are transported by water, and they are only used to transport grain and ding, and only do these errands? Why don't they do private transportation, such as southbound goods go north, north goods go south, take The water transport boats are divided into several groups, and they go there every few days, and this trip not only turned out a lot of money."

"Is it beneficial?" Fukang'an asked in a low voice, and explained, "I didn't understand this much in the past, although now it is the Holy World, the country's revenue has increased greatly compared to the Taizu period, and there are more places where money can be used. If so It is really beneficial, and it is also an act that benefits the country and the people. However, when it comes to silver money," Fukang said with a glance at Shanbao, "Many scholars dismiss it. I don't think it's nothing." If nothing else, it is good Paula's rouge shop, which he partnered with, turned out thousands of dollars a year, and even Fukang'an felt that he had a lot of money.The days are getting better and better.

"Those are just sour people, why bother to learn from them. They have no money, what to eat and what to wear? The emperor has only one purpose in governing the country. It is enough for the country to be rich and the people strong." Shanbao thought for a while, and said, "Cao Yu Is there no smuggling fleet? Businessmen don’t get up early without profit. But you think, how can those private ships compare with the official ships? The most important point is that the official ships are equipped with officers and soldiers, so they are safe. It’s not comparable to private boats. Fukang’an, you don’t need more, you can allocate [-] boats for transportation between the north and the south. For example, if there are merchants who want to consign the goods, if they are small, we can set a base price , how much is the minimum one piece of silver. If it is a large piece, it will be calculated according to the catty and the area of ​​the land. If you don’t say anything else, the expenses of the officials, officers and soldiers of these [-] ships for a year can be earned back. You can still pay taxes for the treasury. At least you don’t need to ask for money every year like the Governor of Water Transport.”

When Fukang'an first arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he had never been an official in the ministry, and he had no restrictions on these matters. Hearing Shanbao's words, he also regained his energy. He took out a pen and discussed with Shanbao in detail until late at night. , Fang returned home contentedly.

Fukang'an has a generous personality, and Qianlong has always been close to him. When he had a good idea, he couldn't hold it back, so he told Qianlong immediately, and presented the booklet respectfully.

Qianlong smiled and signaled with his eyes, Xiaoluzi took it and offered it.

Flipping it open, it turned out to be Fukang'an's domineering handwriting, and he said with relief, "It's very good that you are willing to work hard, and it is not in vain for my cultivation of you for more than ten years."

Fukang An smiled, "Thank you, Long Live, for your compliment."

Qianlong looked at it at a glance, and passed it to Fu Heng, "Chunhe, take a look too."

Fu Heng didn't know anything. Fu Kang'an didn't even greet him, so he made a note and submitted it. He was at a loss. After reading it, he passed it on to the ministers in the study.

"Let me tell you first, why did you suddenly come up with the idea of ​​transporting private goods by water tanker?" Qianlong was very patient with Fukang'an.

Fukang'an was confident, and said, "The slave is working in the household department these days, and he sees that there are too many places where money is used inside and outside the court. The former governor of water transport came to ask Wansui for money, and the slave thought of more than [-] water transport ships. In addition to using Food and soldiers are idle most of the time. Isn’t it a pity that with so many boats, tens of thousands of dollars will be spent in a day of idleness? The self-made canal transports grain to Kyoto, and when they return, they will also bring native products and special products. Why not use these idle The use of the ships can also save the idle labor of the soldiers. The slave thinks that the income from water transportation will naturally increase, and it can also save some expenses for the court. It kills two birds with one stone. No, there is still more money to pay the household department. Because this has never happened There are precedents, and this is the first time for this slave to be on errand. I think there will be some adults in the court who are worried about the country and the people. They are afraid that this method will have limited income and will also disturb the water transportation. So the slave thought that he could allocate a hundred and ten boats first and try it out. Try it? If it works, then implement it on a large scale; if it doesn’t work, there’s not much loss.”

"What do you think?" Qianlong looked at the grand scholars.

No one is willing to sweep the face of the Fucha family. Even Liu Tongxun said, "Fu Shilang is dedicated to the court, and he is loyal. Although this matter is unprecedented, it was first tried with more than a hundred ships and did not disturb the officials or the people. Now After the grain is handed over, it should be no problem to allocate some ships."

Fukang'an looked at Qianlong confidently.

Qianlong generously gave Fukang'an the privilege, "So, since you are sure, I will leave this matter to you. Let the Governor of Water Transport allocate [-] boats first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qianlong took Fukang'an's brochure and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. It's your first time on an errand, and I will give you the same convenience. You can't have no one under your command. The household department is in the middle. You see who can use it with you. As I said, I will send you an envoy."

Fukang'an was overjoyed, "Can the people around the emperor also do it?"

Qianlong waved his hands generously and smiled, "Yes."

"The slave is not welcome. The guards Fengsheng, Buyan Dalai, and Shanbao who are around Wansui, can you temporarily assign them to the slave?"

Fukang'an lion opened his mouth, Ali Gun was restless first, long live, don't get me wrong, we have been on good terms with Fucha's family for a long time, we are not forming a party!

Unexpectedly, Qianlong didn't think it was disobedient, "Your eyesight is not bad, and you dare to speak. Forget it, I have something to say first, and it is correct."

Qianlong asked again, "These people are not enough."

"Yes, I'm thinking about it, the exam will start soon for the pen post style, and the Jieshi slave wants to pick some more people from the pen post style."

Qianlong saw that Fukang Ancheng was reckless, and smiled, "I will point you to another person. Wang Jie has always acted properly, let him do it with you." Noticing that there were no Han Chinese among the people Fukang An wanted, Qianlong followed suit. Added one for him.

Fukang Ann Shane.

The discussion is over.

Qianlong held Fu Kang'an's booklet, and said to Fu Heng, "Brilliant and well-versed in world affairs, it's rare. I originally wanted to keep him cold for a while, as if he knew how to measure. If I don't want to, I'm in the pocket, and the end See you."

"Shanbao has his own views on government affairs. He is indeed superior in money. Fukang'an has made a lot of money in the past two years." Fu Heng laughed.

"It's true, the former son also paid tribute to several ancient inks of mine." There are many people who are polite, and even Qianlong is not exempt.

Fu Heng hesitated, "Isn't Long Live too generous to Fu Kang'an?"

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't be suspicious of people. I watched Fukang'an grow up. If I can't even trust him, who else can I trust?" Qianlong said, "What are you afraid of? I like him for that. You Look at the people he chooses, they are all young people. This is also a touchstone, I want to see the ability of these young people."

"There are only two hundred boats, I'm afraid the income will not be too high..." Get vaccinated first.

Regarding Fu Heng's thoughts, Qianlong had no choice but to shake his head and said with a smile, "Xiao Chun'er, I..." looked at Fu Heng with a smile in his eyes, "Come here, get closer to me."

"Long live, the servant can hear you clearly."

"Is this a protest?"

Finally touched Mr. Fu's hand, Qianlong leaned on the couch and tugged hard. Mr. Fu took two steps forward, "Long live, I have something to say."

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll be there. If I have to go, I'll be on the mountain. Qianlong jumped up and grabbed Fu Heng's waist with his right hand.

"Long live, please respect yourself." Fu Heng frowned and whispered, reaching out to push Qianlong's shoulder.

Qianlong suddenly smirked, reached out and patted Master Fu's buttocks twice.

Fu Heng was restrained, his face turned red with a "boom", and Qianlong laughed out loud.so interesting.But he didn't dare to continue to hug, for fear that Xiao Chun'er would be annoyed, he quickly let go of his arms.

Fu Heng lost his mind in anger, stretched out his hand to pinch Qianlong's face twice, and said viciously, "Try moving again!"

"Oh, why do you use so much strength?" Qianlong smiled lowly, rubbing his cheeks and said, "I'm so red, how can I explain it to outsiders." He sighed in vain, "Xiaochuner, you are getting more and more rough .”

Seeing that Fu Heng's face became more and more hairy, and it was about to be covered by dark clouds, Qianlong hurriedly sat up straight, took Fu Heng's hand and said kind words, "What I want to tell you is, don't doubt me, what I think about you , isn't it worthy of your trust?"

Fu Heng said in a low voice, "It's not that the slave doesn't believe in the emperor, it's just that the king has the way of the king, and the ministers have the integrity of the ministers. Only by doing their own duty is the way to get along with each other for a long time."

Qianlong smiled, "I understand your concerns, and you can rest assured for the time being. Xiao Chuner, when you went to war, I also let you choose your own generals. Why did I not trust you and love you? I can save you more." For you. For Fukang'an, the same is true."
