[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Chapter 127 Good things come in pairs

The 'earned' 90 taels of silver are nothing to Yinqi, but to Qiuqiu, it hurts her heart like sucking her blood!

It is estimated that after this incident, Yinqi will not have to worry about Qiuqiu being cheated by others.

Yinqi arranged the business affairs of the Taotie Building for the next month, so he went to Hesheli's house to find Eniang.Soon his studies in the second half of the year will start, and he can't always go out of the palace.

Xiu Min made a name for herself at Hesheli's house, and returned to the palace after having lunch.

The weather is too hot, but fortunately Yinqi has a lot of all-purpose stoves, which can be used as air conditioners anytime and anywhere.Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Prince, and Yinfeng all received gifts from him.

Back in the palace, the people in the empress's ceremonial car were given a bowl of sour plum soup to prevent heatstroke.

Yinqi looked at Khan Ama's rest time, and ran to bring him sour plum soup. Seeing his happy and relaxed expression, Yinqi opened his daily question.

"Ama Khan, can Qi'er leave the palace tomorrow?"

"No," Kangxi refused without thinking, "It's too hot."

"Is it really hot outside?"

"Really, it's very hot."

"Khan Ama, you won't lie to me, will you?"

Kangxi: "How could I lie to you, I don't believe you..." Go out and feel it yourself.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Yin Qi stretched out his hand to him: "Then give me ice cream!"

"???"

"During the Chinese New Year, you said, when the weather is very hot, treat me to ice cream, eat enough!"

Kangxi: "?!!!"

It turned out to be waiting here.

He seriously suspected that Yinqi's original purpose was to get ice cream, not to get out of the palace.

He couldn't laugh or cry: "You asked me for it, but I didn't have it."

"Khan Ama, you are not joking, as long as you say a word, let me take unlimited ice cubes from the top of Tianquan Mountain, and I can do it myself."

"Okay, Liang Jiugong..." Kangxi ordered, and then said to Yinqi: "Be careful not to spoil your stomach."

"How could it be?" Yin Qi was delighted.

The ice cubes on the top of Tianquan Mountain are sweet, pure and free of impurities. They are taken with great care in winter, and they are best preserved in the ice storage. Yinqi uses them to make ice cream and ice bowls, which is really beautiful.

This day, he had milk tea and pear as a helper, and he made more than a dozen buckets of ice cream with different flavors. Except for one bowl for each family member, the rest was put into the mustard space for later enjoyment.

In the evening, Kangxi ate an ice bowl from Yinqi and was still unsatisfied. He asked Liang Jiugong to fetch it again, but said it was gone.

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to work on the fifth elder brother to do it again, so he asked the imperial dining room to do the same, but soon the slaves of the imperial dining room came to report, "there is no ice left in Tianquan Mountain!"

"Fifth elder brother emptied the entire warehouse of ice?!" Liang Jiugong was extremely surprised, "Is there a mistake?"

Even if the entire afternoon and the entire imperial dining room were used to make ice bowls out of ice, it would be impossible to run out of them.

But those ice cubes just disappeared, and the inventory was empty.

Liang Jiugong asked the people in the warehouse to investigate, and turned around and reported the matter to Kangxi. Kangxi knew that Pixiu had the function of space, and thought it was Pixiu who helped Qi'er.

At this moment, the corner of his mouth twitched, "There's no need to check, I know."

"Ah?" Liang Jiugong still wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing the inscrutable expression on the face of the Long Live Lord, but he didn't intend to say anything, so he gave up.

In August, good news came from the Agricultural Departments all over the country, and the cotton harvest was bumper!The yield per mu ranges from two to three stones, quadrupling the previous constant.

Kangxi Longyan was overjoyed, and once again rewarded the steward of Huangzhuang who discovered the high-yield cotton seeds.

What surprised him even more was that Nan Huairen took out two mechanical drawings in a timely manner.One is the mule spinning machine, and the other is the shuttle loom.

According to Nan Huairen, this kind of machinery was invented by a certain noble inventor in the West, but it was not popularized because of the high cost and low local cotton production, which made it uneconomical.

Now that he heard that the Qing Dynasty was favored by God and obtained high-yield seeds, he felt it was time to dedicate it to Kangxi.

Kangxi ignored his compliments to their "lord" inside and outside the words, and asked him what reward he wanted?

Nan Huairen wiped his sweat guiltily, "I still have that wish, I hope the emperor will allow me to be a Catholic to preach in the Qing Dynasty..."

But before he finished speaking, Kangxi laughed and said: "You are already the Minister of Taichang Temple, why don't I confer a title on you."

"No, no, no," Nan Huairen was overwhelmed by flattery, knowing what Kangxi meant, and didn't mention the matter of preaching, "The minister is old, if the emperor wants to reward you, why not reward my subordinates..."

Nan Huairen mentioned a few people's names, "These people played an important role in helping Weichen manufacture the three-generation red-clothed cannon. They also studied these two blueprints and proposed many ways to improve them."

"Oh?" Kangxi's heart moved slightly, he was very unfamiliar with these names, "It seems that they are all people with very low official positions?"

Nan Huairen said: "These people have no official position, they are slaves selected by the fourth elder brother last year. The emperor can transfer them to several weaving bureaus in the south to be assistants."

Kangxi was a little skeptical of Nan Huairen at first, but if he mentioned that he was just a helper, he didn't take it to heart, and immediately responded, "Yes."

Afterwards, several pieces of Nan Huairen's treasures were rewarded.

Nan Huairen came out of Qinzheng Palace wiping his sweat, just in time to meet the Empress Empress who came to deliver ice bowls to the Emperor.

"Nan University is righteous!" the queen laughed.

"It should be, it should be..." Nan Huairen bowed and saluted, "Thanks to the support of the empress."

The two of them knew very well that the blueprint was only offered by the Empress through his hands, and he didn't dare to look at the blueprint at all.Those people were also arranged by the Empress a year ago.

Although he didn't know what the empress was playing with, and in the past few years, he had repeatedly donated many unique books, blueprints, and science books through his hands, but he was not allowed to tell.

However, he also gained more benefits and prestige from it, and he also bears the burden of it.What's more, the empress promised that she would speak well in front of the emperor for the Catholic believers who came to preach.

The rice harvest, the wheat harvest, and the cotton harvest are also bumper. In addition, some crops are about to be harvested, and they are said to be growing well.

Last year was a disaster year, but this year is a bumper harvest!

How could Kangxi not like it?

Soon, the imperial court promulgated an imperial decree that Enke will open in October this year!Spring Enke will open in March next year!

Not only that, but tax reductions and exemptions in many places have also been promulgated one after another.The Department of Agriculture in various places distributes seeds of various crops to farmers free of charge, borrows farm tools to cultivate cattle, and encourages farming.

Good things come in pairs.

At the end of August, in the past two years, the prince, who seemed to have been overshadowed by the second elder brother's light, presented the manuscript of "Kangxi Dictionary" compiled by him and his attendants.

Blockbuster!

Kangxi was shocked, he had asked Chen Tingjing and others to compile a dictionary for many years, who knew that the number of words included was not as extensive as the prince's manuscript?

It's just the dictionaries written by the two sides, but there are many big differences.The dictionary compiled by the prince has concise and clear definitions, and is adapted from Western alphabets to unify the pronunciation of Chinese, which is of great benefit to those who can read and write.

However, the dictionaries compiled by the ministers pay more attention to the traceability of each word, and it also contains the accumulation of history and culture.

"The prince is talented!"

"Extraordinary talent!"

"It's my great fortune to be so crown prince!"

All the ministers showed admiration and praised the prince's talent and character to Kangxi, and said that having this manuscript would be of great help to them in compiling dictionaries.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi, after careful consideration and proficiency, decided to publish the prince's version of the manuscript first after correction, and sell it to scholars all over the world at a low price.

It can not only make it easier for more people to read, but also unify the pronunciation of Chinese. It cannot be called buried!

"The dictionaries compiled by the ministers should continue, and they must not lose to the prince's clumsy work!"

The ministers in charge of compiling the dictionary were suddenly under great pressure.

With such great achievements, the schedule for the prince to leave the cabinet to give lectures was quickly put on the schedule, and the prince's handling of major official and academic affairs at hand became very smooth.

On this day, he deliberately took a large sum of money to invite his fifth younger brother Yinqi to cook a table of delicious dishes, and invited Er Niang and Yin Reng to eat.

There were only four of them, mother and son, at the table, and Yinhu got straight to the point: "Thanks to Erniang and the fourth brother for their help with this dictionary matter, Yinhu is very grateful!"

In fact, he has been busy with official and academic affairs, how can he have so much time to make a dictionary?It was Er Niang who found some orphan copies, and the fourth brother Yinfeng helped sort them out.

But the two of them unanimously decided to dedicate the dictionary to him, and he felt that he deserved it.

"It's all one family, what is the elder brother talking about?" The fourth elder brother Yinfeng laughed, "As long as you are good, we are all good."

Prince Yinhu looked at him, feeling a little complicated, "Fourth younger brother is a great talent, he is not inferior to me and Qi Er, why not..."

Yinfeng: "Low-key, low-key, hehe~ I'm still young, so I don't want to be watched by Khan Ama, so I can't study whatever subject I want."

Yinhu was taken aback, only feeling that the fourth younger brother had lived in Kunning Palace for more than a year, and his tone of voice in private was really more and more like Er Niang.

Xiu Min smiled and patted the heads of the two sons on the left and right, "They are all good children of Erniang, I hope you remember the friendship here, and help each other more in the future."

Yin Qi answered: "Yes, yes, yes, remember the delicious food Qi Er cooked for you, and support me more in the future."

"You're the only one who is clever!" Xiu Min nodded at him.

Yinqi stuck out his tongue, "Now that the food is delicious, I'm welcome if you don't eat it."

Hearing what he said, everyone moved their chopsticks together.

——Qi Er is too edible, don't hurry up, the delicious food will be gone in a while!

After presenting the dictionary, the prince was always praised wherever he went.He struck while the iron was hot, and took out the plan of running a large-scale government school that he had been working on for a year.

In order to discuss this matter, Kangxi also asked the prince to go to court as a courtier for the first time, and explained his plan to the civil and military officials.

The plan he came up with was already very mature, but Baiguan was still very cautious.In the end, everyone discussed and decided on a pilot project in several prefectures, starting with official Meng schools and elementary schools.

The government schools that were piloted this time were built with funds from the imperial court or donations from wealthy people. Tuition fees were waived and everyone could attend, but books and stationery still had to be purchased by themselves.

Three-year-olds can go to Mongolian school, six-year-olds can go to elementary school, and only after completing five years of elementary school can they take the children's examination.

After passing the children's entrance examination, they can go to a junior school for two or three years before they can participate in the rural examination... However, this elementary school will have to wait for the primary school to see the effect before discussing whether to continue running it.

The crown prince has not been busy this year. The prefectures he proposed to pilot have already found rich and good people who are willing to donate. Not only donate to build schools, but also provide some scholarships for outstanding students from poor families.

Knowing this, the civil and military officials sighed again, "The prince is highly talented, and the prince is highly righteous."

Yinhu was very calm, not drifting at all.He knew that he could accomplish this, and Er Niang and Yin Reng also gave him great help.

The prince was so high-spirited, but the second elder brother was ridiculed.

The one who satirized him was Tong Guogang who accompanied Kangxi to conquer Galdan last time. Back then, Yinti fell into danger because of his greed and greed, causing the entire Qing army to save him.

Therefore, he was severely reprimanded by Khan Ama, and he lost face and the good impression of Khan Ama, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Being so provoked, he vented his anger in his own palace.

One day when Yinqi passed Yanxi Palace, he heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping inside, he sneaked in curiously to watch.

Seeing Concubine Hui hugging Little Jingba, she was shocked and angry: "Little boy, how can you bite the second elder brother?!"

Little boy: "Wow, woof, woof!" He was the one who kicked my stomach first, it hurts like hell!

It's a pity that no one can understand its words.

"Second brother, is everything okay?" Yin Qi asked concerned.

The servants were busy checking, and then found that they only bit the sole of the shoe, and did not hurt the second elder brother at all.

Yinti's eyes were a little guilty, and he said to Yinqi stiffly: "It's okay, thank you, fifth brother, for your concern."

Yin Qi pondered and said: "Then it seems we can only send him away."

Xiaoguai is the little Jingba raised by Concubine Hui for more than half a year. He is very cute and docile on weekdays. Yinqi even took him to play with him several times.

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and sighed, although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to do so, "Nurse, please send it away."

Yin Qi blinked and blinked, "Hui Liangliang, there's no need to send Xiao Guai away, what I'm saying is, just send Second Brother away."

Yinti: "???"
