Drunk Qingqiu

Yinzhen stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, but it was still a little hot, frowned, and asked, "I just asked He Yuzhu, didn't I agree?"

Yinzhen's face gradually turned red, and he couldn't sit still, Yinzhen hurriedly supported him to lean on the pillow behind him.Yinzhen shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "It's not a problem, but it's easy to get hot in the evening, and it will be fine after a while."

He spoke lightly, but Yinzhen's face was full of worry. Yinzhen's illness has been going on for several days, and the wind and cold is not a serious illness. It has been dragging on for so long, which shows how poor his health has become recently.

Yinzhen was thinking about it when the door squeaked, and a crisp female voice said, "Master, the medicine has been delivered. The illness is not cured, so I still have to take this medicine again." Chu Yun entered with a bowl of medicine. When he entered the room, he was still chattering, but when he saw someone in the room, he immediately stopped talking.

Chuyun is from the palace, so he knows Yinzhen.He hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yinzhen, "I have seen the fourth elder brother." Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of this famous cold-faced elder brother holding his master's hand, but Chu Yun felt a little more happy: these high-ranking princes Elder brother, the status is respected, but the family affection is very little.Undoubtedly, Master Jiu, who has always been the most lazy and plain, is a blessed one.The fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother have a good relationship with him, and even the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are also good friends with him.

But she didn't know that a good relationship might not be a good thing, Yinzhen couldn't avoid it, but she couldn't avoid it.

Yinzhen saw a celadon bowl filled with decoction in Chuyun's tray, and a few pieces of crispy golden cake rolls on a fine porcelain white plate.He reached out to take the medicine, tried it hot and cold, and handed it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen looked down at the warm bowl in his hand, smelling the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, his stomach was already churning.He glanced at Yinzhen who was sitting beside the kang, then raised his head and asked Chuyun, "Didn't you just drink medicine?"

"Master, that's a tonic, this one is for getting rid of the wind and cold." Chu Yun looked at Yinzhen on the kang with a smile, and every time he saw him drinking the medicine with a frown and a bitter face, he felt distressed and a little funny.

The corners of Yinzhen's mouth twitched twice, and he picked up the bowl to drink the medicine.After Yinzhen suppressed his nausea and finished drinking, a piece of snack had already been delivered to him, and Yinzhen looked at him with a smile.Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and put it in his mouth as if nothing had happened.It seems that not long ago, there was such a person serving tea and water for himself with a smile, and the meaning of caring was more obvious.

What happens after that...

After drinking the medicine, Yinzhen's head felt a little heavy, Yinzhen waved Chuyun down, helped him to lie down, and tucked Yinzhen's quilt.

Because of the master's fear of the cold, the bright red brocade was surrounded by groups, making Yinzhen's complexion even fairer, and the delicate facial features became more obedient because of the master's deep sleep.The pair of extremely beautiful red phoenix eyes are covered by long eyelashes, and the pale lips are tightly pressed, showing the stubborn character of the master, but the real kiss is unusually soft...

Yinzhen's eyes softened a lot, he raised his right hand to gently stroke Yinzhen's face, and his fingers stopped on his lips.

Yinzhen's eyes darkened a bit, and he sighed...

A few days later, under the frequent visits of the imperial physician in the palace, Yinzhen finally recovered from his illness.Except that Yinhu and Yinyu knew it well, and Yinyu was a little hesitant, in the eyes of outsiders, everything was as usual.

After dealing with the business affairs piled up by the two divisions, Yinzhen went to the palace to meet with Kangxi, and told about the trade with Eros.

Kangxi thought for a while, then nodded, "Since Xiaojiu thinks it's appropriate, I won't object. But in the past, Eros's business was also there, and I haven't seen much profit. Besides, you need to go there in person. Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't even have a useful official, and wants you, an elder brother, to travel thousands of miles to a remote and bitter place?"

Anticipating Kangxi's objection, Yinyu said with a smile, "Huang Ama, let's not talk about Li Duo Li Shao. This is decided by my son, so naturally I will be more at ease by my son. Besides, it's the first time to find out. There is no need to go any more."

It's not that Yinzhen likes to do everything by himself. There are only a few people in the House of Internal Affairs that he trusts. Li Xijing is meticulous in managing accounts, but if he is in charge of negotiating trade, his status is not suitable; Neat, never made a mistake, but more than upright, some do not know how to adapt.

What's more, if there is a change, whoever dares to make decisions privately, it is better to go there in person, once and for all.Among them, only he himself knows how much Yinzhen is unwilling to stay in Beijing.

What's more, if someone else is sent, the money that should have been obtained by Neiku will be lost.

Seeing Yinzhen's insistence, Kangxi took a few steps back and forth in the room, turned around and prepared to find a reason to refuse.Seeing Yinzhen standing obediently by the side, looking at him with admiration and expectation, her heart softened.After all, it is for the sake of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is rare that he is dedicated.Kangxi stood in front of Yinzhen and put his hand on Yinzhen's shoulder.

"If you go in person, it's not impossible, but I have two requirements. First, the location of the negotiation must be in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Your status is special, so you can't go to Oros casually. Second, you go on tour in the name of an imperial envoy. Instead of me patrolling the various ministries of Mongolia, all the ministries along the way will send people to protect you, so that your safety is also guaranteed."

"Also, it's winter, and the weather in Outer Mongolia is very cold. You should go there next spring." Kangxi thought for a while, and added another sentence.

Yinzhen couldn't tell that Kangxi was thinking of him, and was moved. This emperor, whom he had always been afraid of conflicting with, was actually very humane.After being an emperor, he is also a father who cares about his son.

Speaking of Eros trade, it is not an easy task.

In the past, there were imperial merchants who had contacts with Eros, but firstly, the scale was small, and secondly, only a small part was turned over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of them went into the hands of the handlers.

Accompanied by Su Yang, Yinzhen first went to meet some Oros people.These people are not just ordinary businessmen, but also envoys who came to Beijing to face Sheng this time.Ordinary Oros businessmen only trade in Mongolia and the fringes of Oros, so naturally they will not go to the capital easily.

After being let into the room and seeing the faces of several people clearly, Yinzhen remembered in a daze that he saw some strange people serving in the carriage half a month ago.At that time, it only seemed familiar, because Jiahui put aside the matter of Fang Fujin.Now it seems that they are these people, with blond curly hair, two beards, and deep-set facial features.The clothes are also complicated dresses, and the trousers and high boots make Yinzhen, who is used to wearing robes, look a little awkward and familiar.

There were five people in the room, the front was a man in black in his 40s, slightly bald on the top of his head, but with a lot of beard, his shrewd eyes were staring at Yinzhen who came in first.Beside him was a tall, thin brown-haired man, and behind them were two young men in cloaks.

The last person in the room made the eyes of those who came in shine.It was a woman with maroon curly hair wearing a pink fluffy long dress, her white shoulders and chest were exposed, and she was looking at Yinzhen and his group who came in with a smile.

He Yuzhu and Gao Wu turned their heads awkwardly, Su Yang and Gao Wen were expressionless, but they were also surprised.Yinzhen sensed the scrutinizing gaze from the side and the front, and turned to meet him. It was one of the two people wearing cloaks.And the only one in the room with a ribbon on his chest.Although standing in the dark and couldn't see his face clearly, Yinzhen felt the pride and sharpness of the man's whole body, like a sword with a sheath.Comparing several people in the room.

Yinzhen nodded slightly to the man, and then looked at the man in black in his 40s at the front.The man in black smiled, "Hello, I'm Anton." He emphasized a little weirdly, and stretched out a hand while speaking.

Yinzhen looked at the hand with the white glove, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, "Ai Jiu." Hearing the name, the woman in pink covered her face with a fan and smiled like the girl with the ribbon on her chest. The man said a few words.

Yinzhen almost shook it and pulled it back, He Yuzhu's face was already a little ugly.He murmured in his heart, Master Jiu has a noble status, how could these inferior people touch casually.

The ensuing negotiation went smoothly unexpectedly. After learning that Yintang's plan was a large-scale trade exchange, several Oros people discussed it, and the man in black still spoke.

"If you have this right, then we will naturally write a book to the superior and report the matter in detail. It is a good thing to expand the trade between the two countries, and the great majesty will definitely agree to it."

Yinzhen also smiled, dealing with envoys, some things are indeed much more convenient.After deciding on the meeting place and contact information, Yinzhen took the people away.

When Yinzhen left the room, the man in black got up, bowed down and respectfully invited the man with the ribbon on his chest to take his seat.The woman in pink leaned beside him.

"The Ninth Prince of the Qing Dynasty, who Mei has talked about many times, has grown up."

When Yinzhen's Ministry of Internal Affairs made this decision, many people's faces changed.

None of the imperial merchants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have any background.Or the disciples of the royal family, or the relatives of the family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Besides, none of the several departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received filial money from the imperial merchants.

With Yinzhen's approach, it turned out that the huge profits held by the imperial merchants had to be shared by others, and it was still a question of whether they could keep the business.

Ling Pu, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, was secretly anxious. His father, Hai Laxun, was the head of the House of Internal Affairs. With his power, his family was also one of the imperial merchants who went abroad.Others don't know, but Ling Pu knows how lucrative this business is.

How could it be so plainly lost...

Ling Pu raised his head and looked at Yinzhen with a bit of resentment in his eyes. First, his father was dismissed, and then the family business was about to be snatched away. Is this brother Jiu coming to target their family?Still here to target the prince...

Ling Pu was ready to go back to the crown prince immediately, but after careful consideration, it was wrong.This imperial merchant is not only owned by his own family, but also owned by several royal palaces.Others don't say, Chengjun Prince's Mansion, Zhuang Prince's Mansion, and Jian Prince's Mansion, these three are all princes with iron hats. Does Yinzhen dare to offend all these prince's mansions?Ling Pu calmed down a bit, thinking about how to deal with it.

Li Xijing also frowned at the side, stood up and asked, "Jiuye means that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken back the authority of the Imperial Merchant?"

Yinzhen nodded, and then shook his head again, "It's not taking back, it's raising the bottom line. The original imperial merchants can continue to participate if they want to participate, and there are twenty merchants who have passed for the first time. Anyone who is capable can go, but the turnover must be reduced. 20.00% of the total is handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 15 taels every three years is the bottom line, there is no upper limit, and those who are less than 15 have to pay the full 15."

The total silver taels handed in by the people who run the Eros business road every year are only one hundred thousand taels of silver, and Yinzhen's bottom line has been reduced by at least sixty times.

Seeing Ling Pu's wink at him, Shang Zhong stood up and asked, "Jiuye, what if the merchants can't pay the money?"

Yinzhen glanced over and smiled slightly: "As soon as you said it, I remembered that many imperial merchants complained about losing money and wanted to reduce the amount of silver they paid."

After a pause, seeing many people lowered their heads, but couldn't hide their gloating expressions, Yinzhen said slowly, "I'm happy to share their worries so that they don't have to lose money anymore. I want to become an imperial merchant, and I'm waiting for you." It’s not just one or two who took over the Eros Business Road, and those who lose money can withdraw, wouldn’t it be cheaper to do it twice.”

Shang Zhong's face froze, knowing Yinzhen's temper, he said with a smile: "Jiuye said so."

That night, after the House of Internal Affairs fell into office, many people reported to their masters or relatives: Master Jiu is determined to change people, and if he doesn't want to change, it's okay, and he will have to give up the money .

Xibao looked at Wailang Dahasu, a member of the Guangchu Division, who was standing respectfully in the hall, and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "This Jiuye, the older he is, the older he is without any scruples. He really dares to do such an offending thing... ..."
