seven steps

Bingzi in the 46th year of Kangxi.Go to the Empress Dowager's Palace and say hello.It's a daily tour to the south and a tour of the Huai Tao River.Order the crown prince Yunfeng, the eldest son of the emperor Yunti, the prince of Duoluo Zhijun, the thirteenth son Yinxiang, the fifteenth son Yunyu, and the sixteenth son Yunlu to accompany them.Starting from Changchun Garden.Stay in Nanyuan.

Renyin.Yuzhoubo is located in Yunkou, Qinghe County.It's the day, go up to read Wujiadun.

Guimao.Read on and watch Liuhuai set land from Qingkou to see the local situation in detail. It is the place where the Japanese stationed in Caojiamiao.Go outside the gate of the Imperial Palace.He ordered his subordinates, civil and military ministers, and local officials of all sizes, the governor of the river and the officials of the river industry to kneel in front of him and asked Zhang Penghe what he saw. Praise the grace.What you said above is useless.What I am asking is about the river engineering affairs.Articles are different from political affairs. If you make words and draw allusions, you can make them perfunctory.When it comes to political affairs, it must be practical, and then it can be said.It can't be decorated by nonsense.Everything that can be said in the court is to be impartial and selfless.Today, all ministers, big and small, civil and military, both inside and outside the Manchu and Han Dynasties, gathered together.You can take this river as open or not, one by one, why bother to draw leisurely essays.Zhang Penghe's memorial said that Xu Guangqi was judged first because of the lower tone, and he presented the Kailiuhuai set of patterns, and Ashan, Sang'e, and Huitong played together.Please read it on □日, Mingchen, etc.Because the matter is of great importance, the ministers beg again and again.The emperor bowed to read it.Designate a decision.On the day, read along the way today, and see that the marks set up are mixed.When I asked Er, I didn't know at all.Ask the river officials, but they don't know.The river engineering department is solely responsible for this matter. If you don't pay attention to this matter, you should pay attention to it.Zhang Penghe could not kowtow to him without his crown.I asked Liu Guangmei Yu Zhun and said, why did you also play that the river should open.Liu Guangmei and others said that Qingkou, Xuyi, Xichen and other places belonged, so they will check together.As for whether the river should be opened or not, the general river has been working on the river for a long time, so I still don't know.But Kaihe Xichen and other officials also have the crime of playing and presumptuousness, so what's more.Also kowtow without crown.Then he asked Zhang Penghe, "Who checks the level?"Zhang Penghe played the cloud, saw Fang Dehong, the director of Ren Qinghe County, Guo Weifan, the director of Tongdaji and participated in the revolution, Zhang Tiaonai, Xu Guangqi, and Kanyan.The above question said, who estimated the earthwork.Zhang Penghe Zuoyun and Xu Guangqi guessed.Shangyue, Xu Guangqi, etc., all plan to participate in the office, and they are so unbearable for villains.But knowing that shooting profit in desperation is not worthy of the ranks of others.How sincere is it that you actually appoint Yi for such an important matter.Because Gu Zhuchen said, Qian'ashan and others surveyed the water situation in Sizhou.It is said that another river will be opened in the Liuhuai Tao area and Zhangfukou will be able to divert the water from the Huaihe River to avoid the abnormal rise of Hongze Lake and protect the danger of Gaojiayan. I implore you to go in person and visit Wujiadun yesterday.I still say that if it is like the Liuhuai set played by Ashan and others, it can be opened. Today, I rode from Qingkou to Caojiamiao. I saw that the terrain is very high. Although it is dug into a river, it cannot go directly to Qingkou. It is quite different from the pattern of Yi et al. And most of the poles set up are on the grave.If the river is opened according to the benchmark set, it will not only destroy the people's fields and huts. □To destroy people's graves.I am afraid that a man will not get what he wants, and if he is already hungry and drowned, how can he bear to send out these countless dry bones.I am a king, and if there is any error in the first day when I issue an edict, it is still unreasonable.As Zonghe, Zhang Penghe wanted to exhume human bones, and none of his staff dared to speak out.Zhang Penghe did this cruel thing because he was a scholar.What is reading.If Zhang Penghe's ancestral grave was excavated, Yiken Moranye had been quiet for several years, and the people's livelihood was peaceful.Why bother to do so? Years ago, Jin Fu opened Zhonghefan to transport merchant and civilian ships by water, avoiding the danger of the Yellow River for 180 miles. This river is indeed effective.Those who have come and gone so far still remember it.However, because of the old river body and dredging by Jin Fu, if you want to open the Huai Tao, you will have to dig through mountains and ridges.Then he asked Zhang Penghe and all the river officials, saying that if the river is open, can you and others be safe.Zhang Penghe and others Zuoyun and ministers knew nothing about it. For several years, they all relied on the emperor's teachings to teach them how to dare to protect this work.The above said, today's Zou Huai Tao Kaihe is not a local official who wants to take advantage of it, that is, a river worker official who wants to be promoted to a river worker who has no integrity. Why do they stay on the river?Ma Qi, a scholar of the Shangyu University, said, I see that the water in Nanwang Lake is divided into the south and the north. It is a pioneering work that the emperor instructed to go beyond Nanwang to divide the water, and to divert the water from Nanwang and lead it from the high mountain.The rivers opened today are all dredged in the shape of old rivers, which are different from those of the pioneers.Zhang Yushu, a scholar of the university, said that the introduction of the north-south flow of Wenshui River was a suggestion made by Bai Ying, an old man at that time, and his strategy was originally good.Now the emperor is making decisions, building dams, and diverting the rivers so that the enemy's yellow and yellow waters can flow to the sea.As mentioned above, the Huaihe River and the Yellow River in Ming Dynasty are different from today. It should be urgently said that instead of diverting the unprofitable river from Huaitao, it is better to dredge the outlet of Hongze Lake to make it wider and deeper so that the clear water can flow more smoothly to the Jiangjiaba natural dam. The old river shape should be dredged more to make it pass Small rivers for transporting materials and merchant and civilian ships can pass through, even tank boats can also be used for transportation. It is not shallow.Back to the palace last time.Shaoqing.He ordered Ma Wu, the first-class bodyguard, and others, and told Zhang Penghe, the governor of the river channel, that those who were able to serve Jianggong with a small number of employees could still be allowed to stay on the river. He reprimanded the emperor and summoned Ma Qi, a great scholar, to say, slipping through the Huaihe River and opening the river will destroy the people's fields and graves.And the terrain is very high, even if the river is dug into it, it can't reach Qingkou directly. .That is to say, he wrote the edict on the first day and passed the edict to the ministers in Beijing. What did the former Governor Ashan see?

This time, as always, Kangxi left Yinzhen, Yinhu and others in the palace, and Yinzhen looked at the secret report he received.His complexion is getting uglier.After reading it, he let out a cold snort, and threw the superstition in front of Yinhu, "Look at it, what's going on here. You don't know anything, are these officials poor?"

Yinhu still doesn't know what happened, but he saw the superstition written today and read it along the way, and saw that the marks set up were mixed.When I asked Er, I didn't know at all.Ask the river officials, but they don't know.As Zonghe, Zhang Penghe wanted to exhume human bones, and none of his staff dared to speak out.Seeing this, even Yinhu didn't know what to say.After all these absurd things happened, it's no wonder Yinzhen got angry.It's just that he can only persuade "You too, don't be too anxious, it's useless if you are anxious, let's wait for Huang Ama to make a decree, see if it's about appropriation or something, I have to wait for Huang Ama to come down for the official affairs." It’s good to know the decree, you and I can only sit and wait for the news now.”

"Allocating funds, how can there be so much money to allocate! It's really impossible for the household department to have money and food! The Yellow River floods every year. The people suffer every year. It's all these pests. I don't know what to do. Forget it at home!" Seeing that Yinhu was furious, she was also helpless.

"It's useless for you to be angry now, Huang Ama will have to turn around and ask you to allocate money to rebuild the dam and so on. You might as well calculate the money in advance now." Yinhu sighed.

Yinzhen also knew that it was useless to attack Yinhu, so he took a breath and said, "I also know, where does the Ministry of Accounting get so much spare money to allocate. All of them are only used as treasury, which is inexhaustible. Exhausted. Who doesn’t borrow money from the Ministry of Households, but this is borrowed, and no one has ever paid it back. To put it bluntly, even rich people like Lao Jiu often borrow money from the treasury. But I haven't returned a single coin. If Huang Ama really wants me to allocate funds, I can only say that I have no money."

As soon as Yinhu heard it, he knew that Yinzhen had lost his temper again, "You are too, how can you answer like that. Just say how much money is left now, let Huang Ama figure it out, how can you really have no money?" Two words. You are not afraid that Huang Ama's temper will attack you."

When Yinzhen heard his coaxing tone, he snorted and said nothing.

"It's really impossible to simply collect the debt." Yinhu suggested

"Debt collection? Do you think I don't want to? But even the Jiangnan weaving Cao's family has borrowed money, who do I go to? Then Cao Yin grew up with Huang Ama, and is Huang Ama's attendant. , I'm pressing hard, and it's not about slapping Huang Ama in the face."

After thinking about it, Yinhu said again, "Then let Huang Ama issue an order to pay it back."

Sure enough, about half a month later, Yinzhen received the imperial decree from Kangxi to grant money.It is said that the natural dams in Qingshuigou, Jiangjiaba and other places should be dredged, and embankments should be built on the north and south banks, and stone gates and grass dams should be built. A total of 6000 taels of silver will be needed.

When Yinzhen saw it, he was out of breath.I had to pay the silver first, and wrote another letter to Kangxi, saying that the treasury was empty and the officials borrowed too much money.

When Kangxi saw such a letter from Yinzhen, he asked Yu Chenglong for his opinion.Yu Chenglong is an upright official, so he naturally hates these officials who only borrow but don't pay back. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better for the emperor to order the fourth elder brother to investigate. This debt will be delayed again and again, and sooner or later it will delay the situation of the country."

Kangxi also knew this, but he also knew that some of the people who borrowed money were veterans, and some were relatives of the emperor.So Kangxi said, "It's just that the fourth brother wants to be decisive. It's not good if this matter is too tough."

"Your majesty, why don't you let the fourth elder brother go and find it first, and if you really can't get it, then you can make an order."

"Forget it. Just do as you say."

After Yinzhen got Kangxi's will, he asked the officials of the household department to sort out the roster and come to ask for it one by one.It's just that the officials who were asked for it all used the excuse of having no money to ask for more time, and they were all so so that no half of the money was recorded in the account for half a month.Yinzhen wrote a letter to Kangxi in a fit of anger. Kangxi did not expect that the fourth son, who had always been ruthless, would be messed with. He also felt that these officials should be rectified, so he ordered Yinzhen Zhen went all out to investigate.

Kangxi was far outside the Great Wall, so he naturally didn't know how big a wave his decree caused.

Yinzhen first ordered people to read Kangxi's will to the government officials who owed debts one by one, and asked them to return the owed silver within three days.Some officials were afraid of trouble, and when they saw that Kangxi had issued an order, they returned the money.It's just that this is a small part after all. Those who owe a huge amount of money but don't pay it back are not all the big officials. Among them, the nine elder brothers and the ten elder brothers owe a lot, and the ninth elder brother is not bad at all. Yinzi didn't want to make matters worse, so he returned the silver, but Elder Brother Ten had an unusual temper. Seeing Yinzhen coming to the door several times to beg for silver, with a vicious look on his face, he stubbornly refused to die. Also, Yinhu also persuaded.But I didn't expect to be scolded by Brother Ten.

Originally, Yinhu was only going to remind him a few words, but just said, "Tenth brother, you are not human, and fourth brother is also following orders, so why bother to tear your own brother apart, and let others see the joke."

"Brother, I didn't say he is the fourth child. Who is he showing his face? In front of Huang Ama, he pretends to be a filial son, but in front of his brothers, he looks like a king of hell. This is really two-faced."

"Brother Ten, why are you talking? You're getting more and more clueless."

"Brother, if you don't like to hear it, then you won't listen, but don't bring me up, my old ten is a reckless man, a poor brother, and I don't have any money to pay him back. Is it better to ask me to pay back the money? He is Huang Ama's son, why did you see him helping the old thirteen, why didn't you see him go to the old thirteen's house to ask for money, so why did he just bully his brothers? No wonder the empress de concubine couldn't see his face .”

"Tenth Brother! What are you talking about?" Yinhu frowned, and the old Shihun's words became more and more ugly.

"Brother, I know that your heart is towards the fourth brother. Don't come to persuade the brother over there, so that you and I will not tear our faces. You tell the fourth brother that if you pay back the money, I will pay it back! Anyway, I am not worried about giving birth to him. !" Brother Ten slammed the door and went out after shouting the last sentence.

On the contrary, Yinhu was stunned there, not knowing what it was called.Thinking about it, I have to go to the fourth child first and let him have a little grace. Although he can't watch Yinzhen worry, he can't watch the ten elder brother really mess up the matter and make things worse.

Seeing that Yinhu came to find him, Yinzhen knew what his purpose was without asking him, so he snorted coldly.It made Yinhu feel bored, so he couldn't help but said, "I'm provoking someone, everyone raised their eyebrows and stared at me. If it's not for the good of both of you, don't hurt your relationship, who will suffer?" You are guilty."

"You know it's not good, but you still enjoy it."

"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that I can't let go of both of you, I would be like this." Although Yinzhen's words sounded comfortable, he couldn't let go of one or two of you.Made him jealous for no reason.

"If you are really good for him, let him return the money to me. Is it possible that you are deliberately embarrassing him? I know he must use Shisan to make a fuss, but Shisan doesn't owe any money, so I need to remind him debt."

Yinhu nodded and said: "Of course I know, that's why I didn't listen to his nonsense, I just came to talk to you, give me some time, you don't know the old ten's temper, it's not good for everyone if you push yourself. "

Yinzhen also knew Yinhu's embarrassment, so he just sighed, "Forget it, since you have come today, I have no choice but to refuse, I will give him three more days, if he still can't change, I have nothing to say, you I also know that I am also a hard-boiled tiger now, Huang Ama made an order, but I am the culprit. It is also very difficult for me."
