When Lin Zizhen and the others arrived at Sibeile Mansion, Daiyu couldn't wait to go to the backyard with the nanny who came to pick them up. Her mind was full of ideas about the new article at the moment, and she couldn't wait to go to the backyard with the mother who came to pick them up. Big grid exchanges.

With that busy look, he walked with a burst of youthful vigor.

On the other side, Lin Zizhen dragged Kangle into the front yard, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a group of masters sitting in the flower hall.

Lin Zizhen couldn't help being a little hesitant, seeing that the fourth master had already seen him from a distance, he waved to someone for him to go over and talk.

Lin Zizhen led his sons over and saluted one by one.

Before the fourth master went out for a few months, the children in the family hadn't seen him for a long time, and they had been thinking about him for a long time, and Kang Le was no exception. Si Ye's sleeves, his small body leaning against the person.

The place where Kangle usually stays the longest is not his home, Lin Mansion, but Sibeile Mansion.

The fourth master is the only person in his heart who is more important than his father. He is the teacher who guides him to study, teaches him the principles of life, and is also an elder who is as close as family.This time, after fourth master left like this, the children hadn't seen him for a long time, so they couldn't think about it.

In the back, Xiaokangle would ask Lin Zizhen when he opened his eyes every one or two days, when the fourth master would come back, he missed him.Seeing such a half-bald child with a small mouse braid, sitting on the edge of the kang bed with his hands dragging his cheeks, his worried little face wrinkled.

When Lin Zi heard his son say that, Lin Zi was really sour, but when he thought of the treatment his son enjoyed with the fourth master, it was no different from his own son.It's not sour anymore.

Can only coax people again and again.

Now that fourth master is back, Kangle has met him several times, but every time he sees him, he is more clingy than before. He is afraid that fourth master will leave again, and it will take so long.

Lin Zizhen saw the son of Cowhide Candy like this, touched his nose, and said to the fourth master with some embarrassment: "What about Hongyun, let me take this kid to find him. I won't disturb you here to talk about business."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zi really wanted to reach out and pull his son.

The fourth master said: "Our Kangle is a good boy, we don't make trouble at all." After finishing speaking, he reached out and patted Kangle's head, facing Xiaokangle's pure admiration eyes, the fourth master softened his heart, since he came back , these two young ones are very clingy to him, if it wasn't for Mrs Li's birthday today, Hong Yun would probably be the one leaving, so he would follow there.Thinking of it, he hugged him into his arms.

Only then did he say to Lin Zizhen: "Hongyun, I'm going to the backyard today, and I won't be able to come over until later. Kangle doesn't make trouble, so you can sit down too. We are discussing something right now, so you can sit down too."

Only then did Lin Zizhen sit down calmly.

Today, there are quite a lot of people coming to the Four Baylor Mansion. Except for the fourteenth master who sits in the circle, he knows him and has a good relationship. He has met the other thirteenth masters a few times, but he has never been in touch.

There are two other people with yellow belts, one has a long and handsome face, and a tall figure.There is another with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a solid body.

In the following conversation, Lin Zizhen knew that one of them was the ninth master and the other was the tenth master.

When Lin Zizhen was looking at them, these masters were also looking at Lin Zizhen.Although Lin Zizhen didn't know them, many of them knew Lin Zizhen. After all, no matter whether it was cowpox or the fact that he was often accompanied by the imperial court, it was impossible for people to ignore this person.

When I meet someone now, it is imperative to give a compliment for my good looks.

Master Jiu couldn't help but think of those words myna lamented before. It's really a pity that this person and fourth brother are milk brothers, so they naturally stand on fourth brother's side.I'm afraid they won't be able to win over easily.

And the fourth brother has been helping the prince with affairs before.Even now, as these princes are growing up, the prince has a rift with the emperor again, and his uncontrollable ambition is on the verge of taking the lead.

Now the whole situation, in fact, has faintly seen the signs. The eldest brother who is highly regarded, the prince who was named the crown prince since childhood, the third brother who is talented in literature, and the starling who is both talented and knowledgeable are all in one faction.

And these unambitious princes, either stand in their own teams, or remain neutral and stay outside.Just like his fifth brother, seventh brother, and other princes.

But when it came to the fourth brother, people couldn't understand it, saying that he was the prince, but he was just working with the prince for a period of time.Most of the time, it is to lead Huang Ama's errands around, and to find a unique route among the princes.

Originally they were still sighing inwardly, the fourth brother has such a stubborn temper, he always does things that are thankless, otherwise he wouldn't do much, and Huang Amaen didn't see how much he wanted to see.

But now, thinking of the cowpox in the hands of the fourth brother Guang, no matter what the future holds, it is a good thing to be named Shi Ce. These princes don't talk about it, but they are envious in their hearts.

Over the years, whether it's the third brother or the starling, it's not like they haven't tried to see if they can draw people to their side, but they don't respond.Thinking about the fiery temperament of the fourth brother, he has his own persistence in many things, and even Huang Ama, sometimes people dare to slander him directly.

Otherwise, Huang Ama will not be welcomed by Huang Ama.

In the end, everyone was a bit cowardly of Fourth Brother, and this was the current situation.

From this scene today, one can know that the relationship between the fourth brother and Lin Zizhen is really good. What is even more surprising is that the fourth brother condescends to hug a child of a courtier's family, and the child is leaning on the bed peacefully. In the arms of the fourth brother, he is also well-behaved. He really doesn't talk, doesn't make a fuss, and is playing with the sleeve of the fourth brother.

At first glance, it is very familiar.

Soon the fourth brother's words brought him back to his thoughts.

"Ninth brother, it was the fourth brother who underestimated the importance of commerce and trade. During this period of time, I collected a lot of information from the mansion, and found that if the direction of commerce and trade is correct and controlled properly, it may not only bring economic value to the Qing Dynasty, There are also huge political benefits."

It was rare for Master Jiu to hear such soft words and affirmation from his fourth brother, and now he was like a victorious cockfight, with a straight body and nodding constantly.

Yes, yes, this sentence is too true, the master likes to do business, is it true that he really likes it just because he likes to earn a little bit of money?Grandpa was also a prince when he was young, and Erniang was one of the four concubines who were favored in the harem. I had never seen anything good, but it was the pleasure of making money when I only loved doing business.Cough, cough, but after all, he is not as ambitious as the fourth brother said.

He had to remember this well, so that when Empress Huang Ama reprimanded him in the future, he would have something to say.

The fourth master said again: "So, inviting Jiudi to come here today is a business matter, and I want to ask Jiudi to help."

After hearing this, Master Jiu hesitated a little, but then nodded as he thought that since it was a business matter, it would not be a problem.Even Master Jiu, who likes business very much, actually underestimates business after all.However, considering the background of the times, this is also normal. At this time, people's understanding of the economy is still fragmented and one-sided, or this is also related to the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business for many years.

"For so many years, Mongolia has always been an important ally of our Qing Dynasty, but the loyalty of an ally requires not only strong force, but also political wooing. This is why the national policy of marriage between Manchu and Mongolia has been established since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Every year, there are quite a few Daqing Gege declines in Fumeng.

I think you already know that the thirteenth sister in the palace and the elder brother's big Gege are going to marry Mongolia next year.A few days ago, your nieces got together and wanted to set up a caravan to help travel between various Mongolian ministries and the capital. Even if you marry far away in the future, you will not lose contact.I also thought it was good, I wanted to choose someone for them, and let them manage it by themselves.

But after I came back, I did some research. Since the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", the rise of the Kyakhta trade has brought a large share of the Qing's taxes, and because of the rise of this trade, those who used to be aggressive , Mongolian princes and nobles who like to grab land began to raise a large number of mainland businessmen, and turned to trade with Tsarist Russia. Mongolia has stabilized a lot in recent years.

So I want to apply to Huang Ama to set up a special agency to manage the Qing Dynasty's commerce leading to Mongolia and even further afield. While doing business, it can also detect and monitor the direction of Tsarist Russia, small neighboring countries and Mongolia.If the ninth brother is willing, I will recommend you to Huang Ama. Of course, it is not sure yet, but if it is, the caravan built by your nieces will need more attention from you. "Si Ye said.

They did not agree to the free trade terms signed with Tsarist Russia at the beginning. If it was not for the need for Russia to remain neutral in the process of pacifying Junggar, they had to make concessions for this.

But the Qing has always regarded this as an expedient measure. Once Junggar is pacified, this concession will be suspended. It is also to avoid the infiltration of the Qing Dynasty by Tsarist Russian spies. Their neighbor is also ambitious, and the journey to the south has never been given up. .

If the fourth master hadn't carefully compared the huge wealth that this bilateral trade brought to the Qing treasury, he would have the same attitude as many ministers, but now he feels that for the huge profits, the Qing Dynasty is worth it. Taking part of the risk for this, Tsarist Russia can send spies to the Qing Dynasty, and in turn, why can't the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing this, Master Jiu's heart was about to jump out. If this is really possible, there will still be people who dare to complain about him in the future. Any fool will know that this is a good thing, so he hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, I would like to I can't be wrong if you entrust this matter to me. If you have a master, you will definitely ask those morons to voluntarily empty their purses and fill up our Qing treasury. Besides, the last words of the fourth brother are not the face of the shameful brother. No matter what happens No, I will take care of the caravan building for my nieces."

After finishing speaking, he held up the tea on the table in high spirits, and drank it down at his fourth brother.

Seeing him like this, the fourth master was also happy, and said: "Okay, it's just that, fourth brother can't guarantee you that it will be done. I just hope that Huang Ama can agree. If this is really done, the princesses in the palace should also be changed." Change things to learn, and whoever helps Meng in the future will marry a caravan, and I only hope that the princesses of the Qing Dynasty can escape the fate of early death."

As soon as these words came out, the several princes nodded one after another. Although they had seldom communicated with the younger sisters who lived in the harem since they were young, whenever they heard the mourning letter from Mongolia, they felt very uncomfortable.

And if their daughters want to marry far away in Mongolia in the future, it would be good to have more support in their hands.Especially Shisan is the most excited, if this can really happen, it will be of great benefit to Shisanmei.The fourth brother really took his matter to heart, thinking of this Thirteen is more determined to follow the fourth brother.

Although Shisi also felt that this was a good thing, he looked at the excited ninth brother and the old thirteen, and snorted in his heart. The fourth brother was his own brother. Forget about your own brother.But in the end nothing bad was said.

It's just that he poked Kangle in Si Ye's arms with a cheap hand, and the poked Kangle was moaning, Si Ye couldn't stand it anymore, such a big man, yet still bullying a child like this, stretched out his hand to poke Shisi again Face's hand was beaten down.

He reprimanded him: "For such a big person, he is not stable at all."

"What's the use of being steady, I want to be steady, but there must be something for me to do, to hone my skills, otherwise, would I be able to play with a child?" Fourteen, who wanted to calm down at first, shouted unhappily road.

The ninth master next to me was embarrassed when he said this, but he pretended not to hear it afterwards. Anyway, the fourth brother gave him this job, and he is the ninth master who is known as the money bag. Among the princes, he is the most It couldn't be more suitable, the old fourteen is still tender.

The fourth master looked at the boy Shisi, but after all, he thought that he also had intentions during this time, always helping to pick up Hong Hui, and taking a few children to play.

Then he said patiently: "It's time for you to hone your temperament. It just so happens that I have something to do for you, which is today's matter. Since I want to persuade Huang Ama, I must spend some effort and write a memorandum. , I’ll leave this matter to you and Lin Zizhen, be careful, don’t think it’s a trivial matter, check the low reports more often, and let others see our fourteen’s abilities.”

After hearing this, Shisi became happy and promised repeatedly that he would do this well.Lin Zi was really happy to be assigned this task suddenly, because as a later generation, he knew too well the importance of foreign trade and economy to a country.

The brothers talked for a while, and then they broke up.Lin Zizhen originally wanted to have a few words with Fourth Master, but was dragged away by the excited Fourteenth, so he had to go to work.

The son can only be left with fourth master.
