Uncle Lin fell from the sky [Red Mansion + Qing Chuan]

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is very busy. The fourth master, the invisible prince whose status has been clearly established, gets up earlier than the chicken, and who gets up later than the dog.

During this period of time, he didn’t even return home, and he even found a side hall in the front hall of the palace to fool around for several days. Now he is no longer just studying with his own Huang Ama. Business has already started.Even the memorial, now Emperor Kangxi asked someone to send it directly to the fourth master first, and then send it to himself for inspection after he approved it.

Even if the victory is right in front of his eyes, Yin Zhen was not overwhelmed. Instead, he was more cautious than before, and when he worked, he thought more comprehensively.

He had just completed the review of the memorial, and he directly approved the trivial matters that were handed up from below.However, for some important matters, such as the drought that broke out there this year, the need for appropriation, or the military pay applied for by the frontier garrison, etc., for more sensitive matters, Yin Zhen still cautiously wrote his own reply on the inside page, so that people can understand Together they sent the memorial to Emperor Kangxi.

After getting his permission, I will write it on the memorial with a Chinese ink pen.Although it was a bit troublesome, he didn't want to touch his Huang Ama's sensitive nerves and cause unnecessary internal friction.

When Lin Zizhen came with someone, fourth master had just finished his work.

"Come on, sit down. I want you to come here. I want to tell you about the cloth hoarded by the textile factory. Before that, I planned to wait until the ship was ready and let Lao Jiu and Shi Si take it overseas to exchange things. But now according to the speed of this textile factory, when the ship is built and the sea trial is successful, anyway, after such a toss, by the time it really sets off, the cloth warehouse may not be able to pile up. People come and go to neighboring countries to try it out.

Also, don't you always find the fusang on the side not pleasing to the eye, and you have inquired about how many silver mines there are, so it's just a good time to let people go to them to explore the way first, just to replace these cloths with Bring it back.

Recently, everyone has been tossing about, and you still complain about being stingy, and you don’t look at the money that you have approved recently, and if you don’t open up the money, let those old guys in the household department see some real benefits, I’m afraid it’s not worth your face . "Thinking of this, the fourth master wants to sigh. In fact, the problems accumulated within the Qing Dynasty over the years, the national treasury is already empty, and there is no foundation. There will be more.

Several times, there were too many places to spend money, and several times Yinzhen couldn't help but want to pick some big rats out and slaughter them back to fat.However, he was only trying to test, and was reprimanded by his own emperor Ama, no matter how nice the scolding was, it was just because he thought his eating was too ugly.

Moreover, the old man now attaches great importance to his reputation after he gets old.Forget it, take your time, wait for him to collect all the evidence first, and pack them up one by one.

Hearing what the fourth master said, Lin Zizhen patted his own head, and said cheerfully: "Oh, I think about long voyages every day, and I almost forgot about the neighbors around us. Fourth master is wise, Fusang not only has enough silver , Gold storage is also very rich, isn't it a good place we need now?

Although they have money, their land is limited, the land is barren, and the supplies are not abundant. We bring them cloth, which is also a convenience for them. In the future, it can also be porcelain, tea, medicine, and even food. Isn’t everything for the sake of Improve the quality of life of Fusang people.We are really great people. "Speaking of this, Lin Zizhen's eyes were too bright, and he even pretended to sigh.

If fourth master hadn't mentioned this, he would have really forgotten about Fusang.It's too bad.

On the other hand, when Yinzhen heard what Lin Zizhen said, he was drinking tea when he choked and coughed again and again, startling Su Peisheng who was next to him, and hurried forward to beat his master's back for a while. Then he slowed down, waved his hand, and let people go down.

Then he glared at Lin Zizhen, and just wanted to reprimand him a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true, so he also laughed, and decided not to continue this topic, and talked about other things with Lin Zizhen.

Lin Zizhen also followed the good advice and never discussed Fusang with Fourth Master. Now that Fourth Master had already thought about Fusang, he believed that Fourth Master was so serious and perfectionist that this matter would be properly arranged.

That's when he talked about rubber trees and steam engines with fourth master.

After listening to Lin Zizhen's talk about the various uses of rubber, Fourth Master also heard the benefits of having this thing, but there are only a few small saplings in Guangzhou now, and it will take a long time to develop things and put them into practical use. .

As for the steam engine, the fourth master also listened to it half-understanding, but he could also hear that once this thing came out, the impact would not be weak. The liberation of labor could not only be used on ships, but with it , the long-distance voyage is more sure, and it can also make the current textile machine more efficient.

As for the faster car....

The fourth master looked at Lin Zizhen who was talking in front of him, and sighed in his heart. After all, he said, "rubber trees are good, and they can be planted along the coast. However, the steam engine you mentioned requires a lot of investment in the early stage. Grandpa I believe you, but the ministers in the court may not be sure. If you want to apply for funds in the early stage of this thing, even if the Lord helps you speak, it may be difficult."

Such things, even if some people know that they are good, but in the current environment, many people still tend to think that they are just clever tricks.Wanting to change this situation cannot be solved in just a few days or a few years, it will take a long period of time.

Hearing Si Ye's words, Lin Zi was really discouraged, but he quickly cheered up. Didn't he already know about these situations, and everything he is doing now is to change this situation.And now he is not struggling alone, besides him, the fourth master is now paying more and more attention to the way of gewu, and now there will be more and more latecomers behind him, he believes that with the great Qing technology As the students of the college grow up, they will inevitably change everything subtly and little by little.

After picking up his mood, Lin Zizhen smiled and talked to Fourth Master about other things.

"I plan to build a few rubber plantations in the Guangzhou area, and then leave them to Kangle and Daiyu. The profits from this thing will be good in the future. Ninth Master and the others also plan to build a few. You don't need it, but Fujin. If you have a few children, you can get a few, which can be regarded as earning a private house.

There is no need to worry about competing with the people for profit, or encroaching on good land. Many places in Guangzhou and Yazhou are deserted. Before the investment, hire people to cultivate them, which can be regarded as providing a profitable job for the local people, and Whether it is tapping rubber or building factories in the future, it will be a good thing for the local people. " Lin Zizhen said this slowly. He greeted the ninth master and the others, and it would be meaningless if he didn't say anything to the fourth master.

Even if the fourth master doesn't care about the little profit, it's good to invest in a few now, whether it's kept in Fujin's hands as a private house, or distributed to a few children.After all, even the emperor wouldn't think money was short.Otherwise, Emperor Kangxi would not try to enrich his private treasury.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the fourth master nodded in response, and planned to go back and discuss with Fujin. Seeing that the children are getting older, it is time to prepare for the children, especially the daughter and Honghui. Now that they are older, whether it is going out with friends, Or do something, there are more places to spend money.

Although the monthly money given to them by the government is not low, even if something happens, they can still withdraw money from the account.But when the child grows up, he needs to be dignified, especially Honghui. Seeing that his sister writes a book, the monthly manuscript fee is not low, and she can buy whatever she wants. I bought the calligraphy of Master Su.But he was envious and sad.

He also secretly tried to write something, but well, there is no problem with the words and sentences, but it is dry, and he has never submitted a manuscript.

But it was impossible to make this smart child so depressed, and in the end he had no choice but to give up.Even if I wanted to buy something, I was a little timid for a while.Last time when their cousins ​​went out for a stroll, they met a group of fine horses from the Western Regions. The other children all bought what they liked, but he came back empty-handed.

Harm, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to give him some manpower and property, let him learn to manage it by himself, so that it will be more convenient for him.As for the profit and loss, he still has confidence in the child he has single-handedly produced.

The two briefly talked a few more words, and then they parted. They were busy these few days.

......

On the other side, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Kangxi was sleeping on a reclining chair, while letting the imperial doctor Qin give him acupuncture, and at the same time asking the confidant eunuch to read scriptures for him.

After listening to a few copies, Emperor Kangxi stopped the people, closed his eyes and told Liang Jiugong: "Let someone send these papers to the fourth child, just say that I am very satisfied, and let him look at it and deal with it." Said After finishing, he seemed to be sighing again, and said: "The fourth guy is just too careful, and everyone said that he doesn't have to send it over, or let someone send the memorial over every time, and let me check it out for him."

Liang Jiugong, who was serving at the side, heard this, and while beckoning the people to move out the memorial on the table lightly, he was very speechless at the same time.Although the emperor said this with his mouth, he was quite satisfied in his heart. If the fourth master really stopped sending booklets here, Lord Long Live would really be angry.

Fortunately, fourth master is not only able to do things, but also good at doing things.Now with his help, Lord Long Live can relax a bit. After all, he is a really old person. Even if Lord Long Live is not willing to accept old age, but this winter, he has been infected with the wind and cold, and he is still a little energetic during the day, but when it comes It gets hot from time to time at night.

The imperial doctor saw it, took the medicine, but he recovered, but now he has some problems, one side of his body is uncomfortable, numb, and his hands are usually shaking, which scared Emperor Kangxi, no, this year is busy When he was young, he left the matter to his fourth son and took care of himself.

Thinking of what the imperial physician said, Emperor Kangxi was struggling in his heart, unable to make a decision.

.......

In such an atmosphere, Lin Zizhen spent another new year in Daqing. Even if he was busy, he still needed a proper rest. In addition, he had neglected his son before. When Daiyu went out for a walk, it happened that Baochai's wedding was scheduled for the next year.

In this way, they directly set their destination and went to Shengjing to attend Baochai's wedding and have fun in Shengjing by the way.

Baochai was the happiest person to know the news. On the most important day in life, I couldn’t be happier to have a best friend by my side to marry.To welcome the spring, to cherish the spring, Baoyu couldn't leave, and those who were inconvenient to go, all asked Daiyu to bring them gifts.

As for Hongyun and the others, they knew that Kangle was going out of Beijing to play, and they were envious in their hearts, but they also knew that with their current identities, many people were staring at them, and it was not good for them to go out of Beijing to cause trouble for their Ama, so they had to stay at home honestly. When sending Kang Le to them, he never stopped talking, telling Kang Le all the time, don't forget to bring him back any delicious and fun things you see on the way.

In the end, he looked at Kangle eagerly, telling him not to play for too long and come back early, don't forget that his good brother is waiting for him in the capital.Looking at it like that, Lin Zi really wanted to laugh but didn't like it, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to take him like before.

A group of them left the capital and traveled all the way for three or four days. When they arrived at Xue's house in Shengjing, they sent someone to pick them up.Enthusiasm is not enough. During the day, the Xue family arranged for people to take Lin Zizhen and his son to many interesting places to play. As for Daiyu and Baochai, the bride-to-be, staying together, chattering endlessly, where I also thought of my uncle and little cousin.

Baochai's wedding was not luxurious, but it was lively and grand enough.During the three-day running water mat, there was no interruption of people every day, and people who came in and out could be heard every day, shouting congratulations loudly and saying some simple auspicious words.The team waiting to welcome them were all 1.8-meter-tall ones, pulled out one by one, and stood in Xue's courtyard to sing happy songs to the brides who refused to open the door.

Although she sang out of tune, she was not timid at all. With the laughter from the side, she sang even louder.Lin Zizhen also saw that the groom-to-be who could marry Miss Xue was not a simple person at first glance, with a domineering look on his brows, but when the bride came out, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

It seems that sister Bao has also found a good home of her own. That's great. Lin Zizhen also laughed and followed the team from the woman's side to see off her relatives.

After that, he stayed in Shengjing for a few days, ate and bought a lot of things, and then returned to Beijing.Fortunately, even though Baochai is married, she will not just stay in the backyard. The business will continue, and she will go to Beijing several times a year. In this way, when parting, Daiyu will also say goodbye to people with a smile. Goodbye.

It's a pity that when they returned to the capital in a good mood, they got bad news.

The boat that Si Ye sent to Fusang to do business and the cloth on it were all seized. If so, forget it, but many people on board were killed.
