Qing Chuan Yinhu

Chapter 28...

The crown prince is in charge of the country, and he has to make up his mind on many important matters, so he wants to show Kangxi that he is very attentive.

Kangxi was not around, and there was no prince looking for trouble, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were like wild horses running wild, not quiet for a moment.It's just that Yinzhen and Yinqi have to help the prince with affairs because they are older, so they don't have time to accompany them.

On this day, Yinzhen clamored to leave the palace, and said that she had obtained Concubine Yi's consent.Yinhu was more stable, and felt that he should ask the prince for instructions on this matter. Naturally, the prince would not offend them for such a small matter, so he readily agreed.Yinzhen was unable to accompany him because of government affairs.He kept telling Yinhu to be careful.

Yinhu looked at the fourth brother who was Bingshan in front of others, and was so wordy in front of himself, and couldn't help feeling sweet in his heart.

The three of them dressed up in disguise, took four guards, and two young eunuchs went out.Yinhu never went shopping in her previous life.When I was a child, I studied hard in boarding school, but when I grew up, I had to deal with a lot of affairs, and my assistant was in charge of shopping.This life can be said to have been living in danger, afraid of being recognized as not the real Yinhu, and later thinking about the future of herself and her concubine Liang.I never thought that I could come out of the palace to play.It can be said that coming out this time is Yinhu's first time shopping in two lifetimes.

Originally, Yin'e was the youngest, and he was usually a fearless little overlord. The guards thought that this master would be the most difficult to serve.Who would have known that after he came out, the usually gentle and refined Eighth Master turned out to be a different person when he stepped out of the palace.Bought a bunch of things.But he didn't pay for the things he bought, and Xiao Shunzi paid for everything.Regardless of taking things, a few guards took a bunch of them in a while.On the contrary, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, because they have come out before, they are not as scary as Yinhu.

Yinhu saw someone kneading dough at a stall, and saw that no matter whether it was Monkey King or Zhu Bajie, whether it was a bunny or a puppy, they all kneaded them lifelike.Yinhu was very happy to see it.Take out your Q-version portrait and let him pinch it.

The kneader has never seen such a thing before, and the more careful he is, the more lifelike the kneading is, it is exactly the same as Yinhu's picture.It's just that Yinhu's paintings are black and white, while others made colorful ones.

Yinzhen Yiner looked interesting, and let that person pinch himself like this.The dough kneader said in embarrassment that he had never seen such a painting before, and it was okay to knead it like this, but he couldn't knead it if he let himself think about it.

Yinhu took out the carbon strips that he carried with him, and Xiao Shunzi had already bought paper from the fortune teller nearby.After a few brush strokes, Yinhu drew Xiaojiuxiaoshi's Q print.I also thought that the little thirteen and the little fourteen might want it too, so I drew them too.Later, I thought of my fourth brother Bingshan, so I also drew a picture.After finishing the painting, I laughed. (Please refer to the Q version of Minister Iceberg Tezuka in The Prince of Tennis for the appearance of April [-]th. Haha, it’s just Tezuka with braids!)

After shopping for a whole morning, the few of them were also tired. They came to the busiest street in the outer city, found the most elegant looking restaurant, and walked in.When Yinhu and the others walked in, the hall was already full, so Xiao Shunzi went to ask if there was a private room.

Xiao Er hurriedly said yes, and Xiao Shunzi set up a private room to show them the way. "Masters, please come with your servants."

The private room here is similar to the current box, and the fee is paid separately.Therefore, people without money will not enter private rooms.

They all sat down, the guards and eunuchs were waiting outside the private room, only Xiao Shunzi came in to serve Yinhu and the others.

Yinhu has always been happy to show off his virtuous corporal, so he asked Xiaoer to open a table for the guards and eunuchs outside the private room, and everyone was naturally very grateful.Going out with other people, who would have thought if they had eaten?This eighth master is indeed the most kind-hearted master.Yinhu naturally didn't know this, he was just a habit in his previous life, he was kind to the people around him, so that they would really work for you.Who would have thought that the rumor of Eighth Master's good intentions would soon spread among the guards and eunuchs.Even the people in the capital know that the eighth elder brother of Long Live Lord is very kind.

Just as the food was delivered, Yinhu was about to eat when he suddenly heard a strange voice from the next door: "I want to meet your emperor. I am an envoy from Portugal. Why haven't you agreed to me after so many days?" Such a special Chinese , as soon as I heard it was said by foreigners.

Yinhu hurriedly ordered the guards to invite the people next door over.

I saw an official from the Ministry of Rites and a tall foreigner.It turned out that when Mr. Kangxi heard that Portugal had leased Macau, he ordered it to be taken back.The Portuguese are naturally unwilling, this is a treasure for them to make a fortune.So he sent this so-called envoy to the capital to meet Kangxi.This person is very familiar with the current situation in China, and he gave gifts everywhere along the way. Someone pointed him and naturally came to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.This person is a very small official in the Ministry of Rites, and he came to see the envoy in order to get a little favor, but he was unlucky to meet Yinhu and others.

During the Kangxi period, the salaries of officials were extremely low, especially the officials in Beijing, no matter which princes or nobles celebrated their birthdays, they had to express that no one could survive on salary, so accepting bribes was a must.In some positions, no one has bribed you. The Ministry of Rites is such a department. It has no real power. This kind of official has to borrow money from the treasury. How many people have been offended.

Since Yinhu knew about this, he naturally wouldn't embarrass his fourth brother.Still saving more money is the last word.At that time, I will do this for my fourth brother.

The Portuguese introduced himself as Francisco Paulino Ermenegildo Teoduro Franco Balmonde.Little Jiu and Little Eleven are fun to hear, who can remember such a long name.So Yinzhen gave this person a Chinese name, "You can call me Duo, it's easy to listen to."

Naturally, this person dared not object.

Yinhu said: "Meiduo, my Huang Ama is not in the capital, so you came here for nothing. Why don't you go back and prepare some special products from your place, such as dioramas, pocket watches, and so on. Bring more Some came to the capital to give to the emperor, and his old man may let you stay there. Also, if you want to stay here for a long time, find a small island around your country so that our people can stay there. It will be convenient for us to trade in the future.”

Mei Duo said happily after hearing this: "Is it really possible to trade?" They usually only do business with private individuals, and the business volume is not large.If it is possible to do business directly with the country, then it will be issued.

"My Huang Ama will come back in a few months, you have to remember to prepare quickly, you know?"

Meadow quickly responded.And he gave Yinhu and the others the Western items he brought this time.He could see that these elder brothers were more senior than the official of the Ministry of Rites, because the man knelt down and pleaded guilty to these young men.

After sending Mei Duo away, Yinhu said to the official of the Ministry of Rites: "Your Excellency's difficulty, Yinhu knows that this salary is indeed...Your Excellency, you don't need to ask me for any crimes, this matter ends here. Yinhu will never give it to outsiders. mention."

The official from the Ministry of Rituals also left, and not long after, rumors spread among the officials that Eighth Prince, although young, is smart and wise, worthy of being a dragon son.

Of course, Yinhu didn't know about these things. He was telling Yinhu about the value of Western items in the Qing Dynasty. If they could be imported in large quantities, it would be a huge income.Yinhu was already interested in doing business, and after hearing what Yinhu said, he did more research.In the future, the largest trade between China and Europe will be handled by the caravan controlled by Yinhu, which Yinhu naturally doesn't know now.

He was thinking about doing ideological work for his fourth brother again.

The author has something to say: I finally recovered from my illness today, and I climbed up to code.In a few chapters they will grow up and be able to do that.Ha ha

Chapter 29, Chapter 29...

Yinhu came to Yinzhen's elder brother's house, but found some new court ladies, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.But he was busy discussing things with Yinzhen, so he didn't think much about it.

Yinzhen was reading, when he saw Yinhu, he put down the book and said, "Did you have fun going out today?"

Yinhu took out the dough and handed it to Yinzhen, and couldn't help laughing.

When Yinzhen saw his appearance, he couldn't help being angry and funny: "What is this?"

"Fourth brother, this is a noodle maker. Look, this is me." He said and handed over his own.

Ten 34 was waiting for him early in the morning, and he was asked to leave by those two little ones as soon as he returned to the palace.So now I only have his and Yinzhen's.Xiao Shunzi gave other things to Concubine Hui as he ordered, and Concubine Liang sent some over.

After watching the face-to-face with Yinzhen, Yinzhen was not angry. Although this thing is indeed not solemn, it is rare for Xiaoba to be happy.

"Fourth brother, I met a foreign envoy when I went out of the palace today. Which country do you think it is from?"

Yin Zhen said strangely: "I didn't hear the Ministry of Rites saying that there are envoys coming."

"It's not official, he came here by himself."

"Is there such a bold person?"

"It's not bold either. He's Portuguese."

As soon as Xu Zhen remembered it, Xiao Ba once said that the Portuguese rented a small island in the south.When the emperor knew about it, he ordered it to be taken back. "Is it for the island?"

"That's right, I told him that if he wants to rent our island, we should let us rent one from them. And I asked him to prepare some more Western items and present them to Huang Ama."

Yinzhen frowned: "This kind of matter should be decided by Huang Ama himself. If you go overboard like this, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it."

Yinhu thought for a while, "When Huang Ama comes back, I'll explain it to him first. There shouldn't be any problem with such a small matter."

After dinner, lying on the bed, Yinhu suddenly remembered something: "Fourth brother, today I found out that you have several more maids here, could they be arranged by other palaces?"

Arranging spies in other palaces is the most common trick in palaces, Yinhu naturally thought so.

Yinzhen was a little embarrassed: "No, they are court ladies arranged by Er Niang to teach me about human affairs."

After Yinhu heard this, he grabbed Yinzhen's arm and said, "Fourth Brother's beauty is not shallow, these people are all beauties."

Yinzhen heard him speak in a strange manner, knew that he was unhappy, and quickly assured him: "Don't worry, I won't touch them."

Yinhu pressed on Yinzhen's body: "Fourth brother, I will bear with my future fourth sister-in-law. If you hook up with other people, I will ignore you."

Seeing his cute little face wrinkled because of jealousy, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel funny.He is a deserted person, if you let him have more women, he will feel uncomfortable.If there is no Xiao Ba, according to the rules of the palace, he might just do it.But now: "Little Ba, it's enough for Fourth Brother to have you."

"Fourth brother, we must have children. So I only bear with the fourth sister-in-law."

Yinzhen nodded, and said helplessly, "Okay, just bear with her."

In the process of the Duolun League, Kangxi showed the great talent of a statesman.Through the forms of pleading guilty, public discussion, pardon, giving banquets, rewards, reading, building temples, weaving flags, etc., it showed the powerful national power of the Qing Dynasty to the Mongolian banners of Khalkha, and calmed down the grievances and disputes between the two tribes of Khalkha. Realized the strategic intention of uniting the various ministries of Mongolia to isolate and attack Galdan; implemented various systems of the Qing Dynasty, stabilized the social order of Khalkha Mongolia, and strengthened the rule of Mongolia. This is another milestone established by Kangxi for the great cause of national unification Great historical achievement.

Of course, Yinhu doesn't care about these, and the Duolun League will definitely succeed.Even a modern elite like myself can't play Kangxi well, and those foolhardy guys in Mongolia are naturally far behind.

When Kangxi returned to Beijing, it was natural to pick him up or something, and Yinhu was already a little numb.Unexpectedly, the old man summoned himself just after he came back to meet the prince.Yinhu secretly sighed, wondering how many people would hate him this time.

When Kangxi saw Yinhu, he first asked about his study, then about his body, and finally mentioned the Portuguese envoy as if inadvertently.

Yinhu thought to himself that Huang Ama's eyes and ears are really sharp, and she knows the situation in Beijing like the back of her hand, no wonder the crown prince can't fight.

These thoughts passed by, and he straightened his mind and said, "Huang Ama, the fourth brother said that the treasury is often unable to make ends meet due to expenses such as military use and disaster relief every year. And Huang Ama is the most enlightened emperor in the ages, so he said never Increase taxes. Every time the treasury has no money, Huang Ama would rather reduce the expenses of the palace than increase the burden on the people." There is nothing wrong with flattering, and no one does not like to listen to good words.Kangxi's good name is well known, and it is easier to boast about his own affairs.

"What does this have to do with that envoy?" Kangxi was puzzled.He originally thought that Yinhu asked the envoy to bring some Western items over because it was a child's playfulness.He didn't plan to do anything, this child was born in a low family and was destined to have no chance of being on the throne. He was very sensible and didn't have any demands on weekdays. Naturally, he wouldn't punish him for such a trivial matter, but just wanted to remind him not to play around and lose his mind.Listening to him now doesn't seem to be the case.

"Huang Ama, my son is still young, and I only heard the ancients say to increase income and reduce expenditure. Reducing the expenditure in the palace is to reduce expenditure, but reducing expenditure is not as good as increasing income. This foreign thing is the method that my son thought of. We have seen many of these Things are naturally not rare. But how many people in the world have this? After the envoy delivered the things, I sent people to sell the things in the local area, and all the silver went to the treasury. Although it may not be much, it is still a way."

Kangxi was not very happy: "What is the majesty of my Qing Dynasty if I sell items that are tributed by foreign countries?"

Yinhu disapproved very much, but who made him the emperor?I had no choice but to say: "Huang Ama, I feel that people are not as good as I am. We have a lot of talents in the Qing Dynasty. Those dioramas, clocks and other things can be seen. As long as we make them ourselves, we will hand them over to you." Is it feasible to sell it to a credible imperial merchant?"

In fact, Kangxi was still not very satisfied, but seeing Yinhu staring at him with wide eyes, his heart softened. Although merchants are small ways, but this child knows how to share his father's worries at such an age, it is still very good, and his filial piety is commendable.Then he said, "We'll talk about it when the envoy arrives. Then what do you think about the small island in the south?"

Yinhu thought to himself, don't accidentally let the Qing Dynasty close its doors, that would be very bad. "I think they rent our small island, and we can sign the contract once a year. If the two parties cooperate happily, then we will continue to lease it to them in the next year. If there is any change in them, we can win them with the strength of our Qing Dynasty. It is very convenient. I also heard that the Portuguese navy is very powerful. Our navy in the Qing Dynasty is not bad, but it has only fought in coastal waters. The Portuguese said that their navy has been to many places and we have never heard of it. It also occupied a lot of places. It can be seen that this country likes to bully countries that are weaker than him. Although our Qing Dynasty is strong, we are not afraid of him, but if our navy is stronger than theirs, they will not dare to have any crooked thoughts. started."

After regaining Taiwan, Kangxi has been gradually reducing the expenditure of the navy. After all, the country spends too much money. Hearing what he said, Kangxi thought about it and decided to postpone the reduction.I really don't know those countries. If it is true that they have occupied a lot of territory, as Yinhu said, then they must have bad intentions towards the Qing Dynasty, so I have to guard against it.Thinking of this, Kangxi said: "I will send someone to train the navy well, and I can compare myself with those foreigners when I have the opportunity."

Yinhu was overjoyed: "Huang Ama Shengming." This sentence came from the heart. After listening to his upside-down speech, he can still grasp the key point of the problem, which is really amazing.There is nothing I can do about it, at such a young age, if I talk old-fashionedly, then I will not be happy.After solving Kangxi, Yinhu happily returned to elder brother's office.
