[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Yuzhou soon arrived at Yangzhou City. In the evening, Kangxi ordered the boat to stop at Huangjinba outside the city, and had no intention of entering the city.

Yinqi was puzzled, "Isn't Yangzhou an excellent place?"

Kangxi shook his head, stood on the deck, overlooking the direction of Yangzhou City, with a heavy expression.

The prince and the fourth elder brother pulled Yinqi, motioned him not to ask, pulled him away, and then told him the story of "Ten Days in Yangzhou". Heinous crime.

At the same time, Xiaobai played a popular science video of this period of history in Yinqi's mind.

Yinqi was dumbfounded. Seeing such a tragic history, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He looked at Khan Ama. Thirty-six years ago, Khan Ama was not born, and Huang Mafa was only seven years old... But the heinous crime committed by the Qing army was the sin of the Qing royal family.

Kangxi stood at the bow of the boat for a long time before going to meet the local officials.

That night, he heard from the crown prince, Yinreng and Yinqi, "Tomorrow, you three go into the city in low clothes. I will give you two days to go shopping, but you must not reveal your identity. There are especially many anti-Qing forces in Yangzhou."

"What about Khan Ama?" Yinqi asked.

"Khan Ama also wants to go to visit local celebrities in micro-clothes and go to a temple, are you going?"

"Let's go by ourselves." Yin Qi thought for a while, and said, "Nahhan Ama should also pay attention to safety, let Yuan Qiu follow to protect you."

Yuanqiu is Qiuqiu's pseudonym when he transformed into a human form, which means to let Qiuqiu protect Kangxi in human form as a maid.

Kangxi thought about it and agreed.His southern tour was high-profile, and the portrait may have been circulated privately by those anti-Qing forces, so he really can't be careless.As for the children, it would be much safer to separate from him.

Early the next morning, the three brothers entered Yangzhou City.

Compared with Yinhu and Yinqi, Yinreng is much more familiar with Yangzhou. He has been here more than once in his previous life, but at that time, he was already an adult, and Yangzhou has become one of the most prosperous places in the south.

But now, years of coastal wars have spread, and last year's floods and famines still seem to have left an impact. People wearing patched clothes abound in the streets.

But Yinfeng knows that all this will change soon, and the people will live and work in peace and prosperity.Even during Emperor Kangxi's second southern tour, the people of Yangzhou would take the initiative to persuade Kangxi to stay for a few more days.

Yinqi thought of the devastation in the video, and felt that Yangzhou is much better now.He wanted to do something to make amends, but didn't know how.

The only thing I can do is to give more money and chat with them when I buy things from the hawkers on the street.

By chance, they came to a dilapidated private school.

In fact, this is Yinreng's intentional guidance, and the teacher here is a certain great Confucianist in the future.At this time, he opened a private school to teach children to read, but because he often waived the tuition fees of poor families, he lived in poverty.

The conditions of the private school were not good, so they walked in without any hindrance, and heard the sound of children reading aloud.

Mr. Li saw a group of them, dressed richly and with a group of followers, came out strangely and bowed: "Several young masters, what can I do for you?"

The three bowed politely in return, Yinhu smiled and said: "I happened to pass by Guibao Land and heard the sound of reading, so I came in to have a look. There are a lot of students, sir, how much is the tuition?"

Seeing their extraordinary demeanor and elegant conversation, Mr. Li felt good about them: "I have little knowledge, I can only teach children. The tuition here is two taels of silver a year."

Yinqi couldn't help shouting: "It's so cheap!"

He looked at the students in the classroom, ranging from three or four years old to teenagers, there were only about 60 students in total, and they only earned [-] taels this year.

And his roast duck in the capital sells for ten taels per piece... Oh, no, why did he think of eating again.

What he should figure out is that the tuition fees of the government schools in the capital are all free, and you only need to pay for meals, books and test papers, but the annual salary of the gentlemen is not less than 100 taels, and the gentlemen do not need to teach full-time, and do not need to pay for anything. teach……

Yinqi is doing the math here, and Yinhu and Yinreng have already chatted with their husband about official studies.

Yangzhou is not in the pilot program of government schools, so government schools have not yet been established here.But Mr. Li had obviously heard of it. He greatly appreciated the court's move and expressed his expectation for the promotion of official schools.

Yinqi calculated the accounts clearly, and saw that Mr. Li's clothes were covered with patches, the school building was dilapidated, and the books were broken, so he suddenly said, "Sir, I want to donate to your school."

"Huh?" Mr. Li was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong, and his first reaction was panic, "Why, why?"

Yinqi didn't know how to express it, anyway, he could see that the other party was a good person, with a faint virtuous spirit lingering around him.

He just said: "You are a good person. I donate 500 taels of silver to you to repair the school, buy books and clothes, and you can also exempt students from tuition fees."

Mr. Li did not dare to trust people of unknown origin, and was still in fear.

Yinhu smiled and persuaded: "Official schools only have donations from benevolent people to waive tuition fees and reward talents. Don't refuse, sir. You just need to name the library in the school after us."

"Ah..." As if being hit by a pie from the sky, Mr. Li's expression was in a daze.

Yin Qi has already taken out 500 taels of silver notes, "Good idea, then the library is called 'Gaotie Library'!"

Mr. Li: "...this private school does not have a study room..."

Yinhu: "Then let's donate some more books."

Mr. Li: "..."

As he said that, Yinqi had already stuffed the 500 taels of silver bills into Mr. Li's hands, and he suddenly felt like a dream, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Unexpectedly, there was an older student in the school leaning on the window and shouting: "Sir, please take it, isn't the teacher and wife almost unable to open the pot?"

Mr. Li couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be rude, go back and sit down!"

He turned his head and was about to return the money, but he heard the young master who had not spoken all this time say: "People in the world are ignorant, and only believe in the heresy. If more people can read and understand, the world will not be chaotic again. I hope there will be more and more sensible people like Mr.

Mr. Li was startled. At such a young age, this young man is actually insinuating that the White Lotus Sect that has quietly sprung up in Yangzhou City recently will not succeed?

It's not that he hasn't been wooed by those people before, and he was even a little shaken.

Mr. Li was silent for a while, and they only thought he agreed, and then asked if there were any other private school teachers who were as poor as him but had a conscience in Yangzhou City.

Mr. Li was even more surprised, "Could it be that the young masters still want to..."

"That's right," Yin Qi said with a smile, "I think it's wonderful to donate a few study rooms, all of which are called 'Gluttony Study Rooms'."

Yin Qi is undoubtedly rich, super rich!

At the beginning, Kangxi's treasure worth 250 million taels was given to him, and he was not allowed to use it back then, but now that the Qing Dynasty is getting richer, he is allowed to use it.

Yinqi thought, leaving one's own name all over the world seems to be a more fun thing than hiding treasures.

Mr. Li's heart was beating fast. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and went back to write a few addresses and handed them over to the three of them.

"The three sons are really good people. Can I let me know the name and surname of my benefactor, so that I can cherish it in my heart day and night?"

The three brothers looked at each other, and then smiled at each other, Yinhu said: "Sir, you only need to know that the three of our brothers are named Yi, and they are from the capital."

Yinqi added: "It's the owner of the Taotie Restaurant in the capital."

This self-introduction was already very specific. Mr. Li knew that they would not reveal more, so he called out the students and thanked the three of them.

Ben wanted to entertain the three young masters for lunch, but the three left quickly.

Clutching the 500 taels of silver bill, with tears in his eyes, Mr. Li turned around and went to teach the students again.It's just that the content of the lecture has become the story of the ancient good people.

And he didn't expect that the three benefactors really donated the book room when they said they donated it!

In the afternoon, someone brought several boxes of books and helped to clear out the vacant shabby room, repair the roof beams, build bookshelves, add tables and chairs, and arrange the books properly, and those people left.

Mr. Li was in a trance all the time, until he picked up a brand new "Kangxi Dictionary" on the bookshelf, touched the extremely high-quality pages, and his vision was blurred again.

At this moment, he strengthened his determination to teach children better.

……

In two days, Yinqi donated four private schools.As for Yinhu and Yinreng, they were in charge of purchasing books, and were regarded as honored guests by several bookstores in Yangzhou city.

It was only after buying it in this way that I realized that not only are there not many books in the school, but there are not many books for sale. The prince thought silently that the next government school pilot and the official bookstore should be set up in Yangzhou. Who is in charge...

And Yinfeng is also thinking, it's time to improve the printing technique...

……

On the other hand, Kangxi personally visited the famous Confucian scholars in Yangzhou. The emperor's kindness and kindness were flattering, and he even found a person to be a companion for the prince.

He also went to the famous Daming Temple outside the city. He felt that the name was not good, so he changed the name of the temple to Qiling Temple after the Qiling Pagoda in the temple.

The next day, he purposely dressed in worn-out civilian clothes, and took his secret guards, Rong Ruo and Yuan Qiu who were also clothed in the same clothes, to visit the people in secret.

This investigation really made him find out some evil things about corrupt officials and bullying men and women.

Turning his head around, he secretly ordered someone to conduct a secret investigation to obtain evidence of the crime, so as to give justice to the sufferers.

It's just a pity that he couldn't witness that scene with his own eyes, and Yu Jia was about to set off again.

What's even more exciting is that the dark guard accidentally discovered the secret activities of the White Lotus Cultists nearby, and these gangsters are planning to assassinate Kangxi!

Of course, those who were secretly active were immediately arrested by the hidden guards and tortured.Although nothing came out of the torture, their plan was exposed and the assassination failed.

The feeling of such a private visit in a micro-service is really exciting and interesting, and Kangxi has some thoughts in his heart.

On the evening of the third day when they parked outside the city of Yangzhou, the father and son gathered together for dinner, and they both expressed their extremely excited feelings about this private visit through microservices.

The fourth elder brother made a bold proposal like never before: "Khan Ama, if you didn't go on a tour with great fanfare to inspect the river engineering, not only would you be at the risk of being assassinated, but it would also be a waste of money and people. If you don't keep a low profile, you can see more real people's livelihood. "

"Nonsense," Kangxi scolded with a smile, "I didn't inspect the river engineering, why did I go to the south of the palace for inspection?"

But he was also thinking in his heart, when will he not be so busy, he can walk around in low clothes, eat and drink around like Yinqi, how nice it is.

Kangxi squinted his eyes, looked at these children who were still unable to take over the big responsibility in his hands, and suddenly cursed: "No prospect!"

Three people: "???"

After leaving Yangzhou, I arrived in Suzhou soon.

Suzhou Weaving Bureau is where they stopped this time.

Suzhou gardens have beautiful scenery and have been famous for a long time. Kangxi intends to stay here for a few more days.

The prince also came with the mission given by the queen.

Since the successful development and vigorous promotion of looms and textile machines last year, not only has the textile industry of the official Weaving Bureau in Suzhou developed, but with the policy and encouragement of the imperial court, many textile workers, mostly female workers, have been hired.

The prince brought a whole boatload of enlightenment books, and gave these women workers free books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and also sent them greetings from the empress, encouraging them to read and write, and to be self-reliant.

With the large increase in the production of high-quality and cheap cotton cloth from the three major southern weaving bureaus, in addition to supplying the imperial court, the common people can also buy cloth at very low prices, and there are more and more clothing stores in Suzhou City.

Although the three princesses don't have many opportunities to wear Han costumes, they couldn't help but bought a lot when they were shopping, and bought some as gifts for the empresses and empress dowagers in the palace.

Interestingly, at the end of last year, after Kangxi decided to import a large amount of cotton, a large number of Western businessmen came to try to make money from the Qing Dynasty, and now several months have passed, and those people have found out that the cotton cloth of the Qing Dynasty is also good. It was cheap, and they spent more money to buy the cloth back.

A shrewd businessman, of course, would like to buy the machine back for research, but at present all the machines and technologies are strictly controlled by the officials, even if they secretly spend money and bribes, they still cannot get the blueprints, technologies and machines.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty had long been on guard against them.

Of course, Kangxi knew that the theft of technology could not be completely eliminated, it could only be how long the Qing had been ahead in technology, and it only took more than a dozen years, which was enough for the Qing to surpass the Western countries in terms of national strength.

Yinqi has been coveting the delicacies of Suzhou for a long time, and when he arrived here, he just happened to catch up with a temple fair, so what a pleasure to eat and drink!

It's just that he could hear the rattling sound of the money spent, and it felt like he couldn't get in for too long, and it started to get bad.

One day, Kangxi planned to go out in a low-clothes, and Yinqi decisively decided to go with him.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "I heard that you are very generous. You pay for the expenses of your brothers and sisters. Why, are you coming to 'help' me today?"

"Where can it be?" Yin Qi was serious, "Khan Ama, you are the richest person in the world, so I won't do anything like that."

"Is this how you use the axe?"

"Ahem...Anyway, Ama Khan, you can help Erchen today."

"No..."

Not waiting for Kangxi to completely refuse, Yinqi had a flash of inspiration: "How about this, let's guess the copper coins. If you guess right, I will cover all my expenses today. If you guess wrong, I will cover my expenses."

"Hehe, that's fine." Kangxi and Yinqi have played several times to guess the coin's front and back, because Yinqi can guess right every time, so for the sake of fairness, Kangxi always guesses to determine the winner.

Yinqi then took out a copper coin and threw it up, then slowly caught it.

With sharp eyes, Kangxi had already seen the answer, and he said to himself, "I guess it's positive."

Yinqi: "Wrong! What year did I ask you to guess the copper coins?"

Kangxi: "..."

Yinqi was triumphant: "Hahaha, are you stupid?"

"..." Kangxi turned his wrist, "It's been three days, right?"

Yin Qi: "..."
