Zhang Tingyu has been in a state of doing nothing these years, saying that doing nothing is not because he has nothing to do, but that he has no serious errands.

From a prodigy to a young genius, and now no one cares about him, his life of more than 20 years has been more ups and downs than others. Finally, his father thinks that he can take part in the scientific examination. Hearing that his father was appointed as the chief examiner of Chunwei next year.

What can he do, he is also desperate.

As long as he has experienced enough things, nothing can hit him. Zhang Tingyu, who is already a 20-year-old adult, calmly accepted the reality of the postponement of the exam, and then turned his head and put the prepared exam materials at the bottom of the box.

Pressing the bottom of the box is a familiar thing once, and he probably got used to it with his book.

The biggest difference between a genius and an ordinary person is that a genius does not need to waste sleep and food like ordinary people when he wants to take the exam. He has more time to do his own things, and his foundation is there. better than most.

In June, the north entered the rainy season, and the waterway offices in various places began to be busy. The situation this year was not as severe as last year, but it should not be taken lightly. It has been nearly a month since he last wrote to the Jiangsu Waterway Governor’s Office. Jin Fu and Chen Huang But they didn't reply to him, so it can be seen that they are too busy to talk to him.

He didn't have to take the exam this year, so he might as well go to the Shuidao Yamen over there to see for himself. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Some things can't be explained clearly in letters, so they have to meet and talk.

The most important thing is that he has never seen the way of handling things in the Hedao Yamen. To Jin Fu and Chen Huang, what he said is just talk. One step.

Most of the royal manors of the previous dynasty and the manors allocated to the bannermen by this dynasty are concentrated in the north, and the cultivated land in the south has been concentrated in the hands of a few people.

Yin Qi came to the senior's yard with ease, and found that there were a lot less things in the senior's study, but there were more carriages full of luggage in the yard. He frowned and said in shock, "Brother, are you going to be kicked out of the house?"

But the words of the brain blurted out, and the scene was silent.

Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to help his forehead. He, the prince's younger brother, sometimes made people laugh and cry. He just wanted to go far away, and it had nothing to do with being expelled from the house.

He didn't do anything to ruin the family tradition, why should he be expelled from the house?

After Yinqi finished speaking, he covered his mouth, threatened the two younger brothers who were still in shock to forget what they had just heard, and then pretended that he hadn't said anything, restarted the scene with innocent eyes, "Senior brother, you are going to travel far away ?”

Yinzhen: ...

Yin'er: ...

OK, OK.

Zhang Tingyu greeted the three elder brothers to sit down, and explained while serving tea, "I'm going to Jiangsu to see how Mr. Jin and the others control the water. I was scolded by Mr. Jin and Mr. Chen in letters a few days ago. , just happened to be fine recently, it would be interesting to let them scold face to face in the past."

The governor of the River Channel is in charge of the water affairs of the Yellow River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Hunhe River. The governor's office was originally located in Jining, Shandong, and moved to Qingjiangpu, Jiangsu in the 16th year of Kangxi. Since then, the governor has been stationed in Qingjiangpu.

Yin Qi looked at the senior brother who took the initiative to seek scolding, and said sincerely, "Senior brother, Mr. Jin and Mr. Chen probably thought you were looking for trouble."

Yinzhen and Yin'e nodded in unison, they also felt the same way.

Does this posture seem to be looking for scolding? This is clearly looking for faults.

Zhang Tingyu blinked, and the gentle and jade-like young man said harmlessly, "If Mr. Jin really thinks so, no one else can do anything about him."

"When is senior brother going to leave?" Yinqi asked with anticipation in his eyes. To be honest, he wanted to go with him. If senior brother didn't leave immediately, he would have a chance to get their family Khan Ama to agree to let him go on a long trip.

His reaction was so obvious that the three people next to him could see what he meant, and one by one tried to dispel his thoughts, "Ninth Brother, don't be too hard on yourself!"

"Brother Nine, Jiangsu is far away from the capital, so it's no joke." Zhang Tingyu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and at this moment he finally realized that he was still inferior to his father, who dared not take over the various errands assigned by the emperor.

At least not now.

Yin Qi looked at the few people who regarded him as a glass doll solemnly, skipped over the useless younger brother, and looked at their senior brother, "Does senior brother know the terrain changes in the south and the north? Do you know the difference in the cultivation of grains in different places? Do you know how droughts and floods are distributed?"

Zhang Tingyu paused, "Brother is reading a book on this subject."

Brother Jiu straightened his back, "Master knows everything."

There are a bunch of books on water conservancy and agriculture in his study, most of which are professional books left by the predecessors, and they will not reveal their secrets.

Most of the people live in the countryside, and land tax is the main source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and their side is different from the West, where they combine grazing and farming. Here they only cultivate land, and grazing only grazing. There is a clear distinction between wells and water. river water.

The Qing Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and the climate varies greatly. The crops, farming methods, and farm tools in different regions are different. Except for those who specialize in these things, few people can figure out the situation in a short time.

Brother is indeed a genius, but there must be a limit to genius.

Drought and flood disasters are frequent in the dry land in the north, and good weather and weather only exist in fantasy. There is either too much water or no water. Often, the whole season’s grain harvest fails. If there is a major disaster, it is not impossible to lose the harvest. solved problem.

The waterway yamen is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has no way of knowing the situation in the Central Plains and the north. He also wants to set up a waterway governor's yamen in the Henan area. When the brothers get started, they will first control the water in Henan. Let go.

Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to take the risk to take the prince out of the capital, he went out by himself, that's called a study tour, what's the matter with bringing a golden elder brother with him.

Fortunately, Elder Brother Ten and Eleventh Brother are standing on the same front with him. The scorching heat is unbearable, and Brother Ninth is weak, so he should stay in Changchun Garden to take care of his health. What should I do if I get hot when I go out?

He wasn't worrying unnecessarily. With Brother Nine's physical condition, he was very likely to suffer from heat stroke when he went out. At that time, there would be a lack of medical treatment and medicine. If something happened, he would have nowhere to cry.

No, no, I can't give brother Jiu a chance to speak, he left overnight tonight.

I can't stand it, I really can't stand it.

Changchun Garden, West Garden, Yin Zuo sat in front of the window reading a book, heard Yin Zhen's bluffing voice from a long distance, put down the book and stretched his waist, waiting for his brother to come over.

Unexpectedly, not only Yinzhen came, but also Yinqi Yinzhen Yiner.

Yinzhen came out of the shadow of losing his mother, and he still couldn't return to the previous state of being fearless, but the child has a skill, which is to easily lower his brother's intelligence to the same age as him.

So far, this elder brother is limited to Yinqi.

Brother Fifteen saw a shop selling birds on the way back. He remembered that he wanted to buy a gift for Brother Six who was sick in bed. Being bored in the house was boring, so he bought a beautiful talking bird to relieve Brother Six. It could not be better.

Before Yinzhen had time to stop it, their ninth brother hit it off with Yinzhen's little boy and went to pick birds.

Well, there is a special place for raising birds in the palace. If you want to raise birds to relieve your boredom, you can just go there and choose them. You don’t need them to buy them outside, and the ones you buy don’t necessarily have to be tuned in the palace... Well, what are you trying to figure out?

Yinzuo's illness has been intermittent. In order to let him recover from his illness, there are very few noisy times here. Yinzhen Yin'e saw him coming out from a distance, and the expression on his face was complicated. , In the end, nothing was said.

Forget it, they just shut up, with Brother Nine and Fifteen around, Brother Six will soon know what's going on.

Yinqi never does such things as stealing the credit of his younger brother. When he arrived at the door, he left the stage to Yinzhen. The child ran in with the birdcage, looked at his brother with bright eyes, and shouted angrily, "Brother Six , Look at the bird my brother found for you."

The bird in the cage is brightly colored, and it is indeed a rare and beautiful bird based on its appearance.

At this moment, the chubby, fluffy little guy opened his eyes, tilted his head and chattered endlessly, "Have you eaten? Have you eaten? Have you eaten?"

Yinzhen felt that the parrot he had chosen was very good. It was not only good-looking, but also reminded the sixth brother to eat on time. There was no bird more suitable for the sixth brother than this one.

Yinqi picked it together with him, and now he is standing beside You Rongyan, "Sixth brother, it took us a long time to pick out this one, which is the best looking one. The four of us pooled our money together. How about it? Not bad right?"

The corners of Yinzuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Yinzhen Yin'e who didn't dare to look at him, hesitated for a moment and took the bird cage over, "You guys have a heart."

Thinking about the good, the younger brothers still miss him when they go out to play, so it is good to remember to bring him a gift, so don't force too much.

Although this bird has the potential of a rice bucket bird, it looks good anyway. As long as it keeps its mouth shut and doesn't talk, it's not impossible to be a beautiful pendant.

In the cage, the parrot jumped up and down, "Have you eaten? Did you sleep? Are you awake? Are you awake? Are you awake? Are you awake?"

Yin Zuo: ...

He was wrong, he didn't think it would work.

"Brother Six, Fifteen is not going out for fun today. Brother Ninth took him to study at Master Zhang's mansion. This kid is very obedient, and he didn't make a fuss about not learning." Yinzhen hurriedly pushed Yinzhen, who was waiting for praise, to the In front, he slipped the bird cage over, winked at Yin'e, and then pulled their ninth brother to say goodbye, "The birds outside have a bad temper, my brother will send you to the Ministry of Internal Affairs first, and wait for the adjustment...Teaching is finished. Send it here, Brother Six, don't send it away, we can go alone."

Yinzhen reluctantly watched the bird cage being taken away, thinking that what the tenth brother said made sense, shook his head to take his mind away from the parrot, and pulled their sixth brother to start talking about what he experienced today.

He knew why Khan Ama asked Ninth Brother to take him to learn from Master Zhang, because Master Zhang was too nagging, and he was as talkative as Khan Ama in private. He almost fell asleep several times, thinking about it I can't lose face outside so I can't fall asleep.

The master Han Ama found is not suitable for him. Really, he thinks so seriously. If possible, he wants to change to Li Guangdi to teach him. It is also about telling stories. Master Zhang treats him like a child, and Master Li will teach him. No, the stories told by Master Li are soul-stirring, and the swords and swords are blood-stained. That is the story that a good man should listen to.

Yin Zuo listened to his younger brother's nagging, dumbfounded, and felt that their family Khan Ama was quite picky. For this kid's temper, it would be better to find a master who can make him lose his temper. If Li Guangdi really wants to take him, I'm afraid that if I don't move, I will use a knife or a gun.

"By the way, Brother Nine said that he wanted to go to the Yamen of the Governor of Waterways in Jiangnan to have a look. Brother Ten and Brother Eleven persuaded him all the way, and they almost quarreled in the carriage. Brother Six, is Jiangnan fun?" Yinzhen finished complaining. Things, and started to talk about other brothers, children seem to be like this, during the day they can be invisible for a whole day, and at night they have to find someone to talk about what happened during the day.

Yin Zuo raised his eyebrows, "Governor of Waterways Yamen, what is he doing there?"

"I don't know, but according to Brother Jiu, he is very interested in waterways. What is that for, digging rivers?" Yinzhen shook his head, and other questions popped up in his head.

Children of this age are all walking for a hundred thousand reasons.

Yinzuo is resting and recuperating these days, which means that he is isolated from the world. Yinqi is interested in water control and has not hidden it. He can guess what the kid wants to do, but go to Jiangnan... He probably can only think about it in his dreams .

Yinqi is not yet old enough to do business, even if he goes out to play, he can't run that far, not to mention Khan Ama, the queen's mother Mama Ukumama will not agree, even if there are guards to follow, the boy is physically weak He is weaker than him, and the days of wind and sun are not suitable for him.

But having said that, his health is almost in good condition, Khan Ama will not let Yinqi go out on his own, will it be better if he has his brother with him?

After being decadent for so many days, I have to cheer up. Er Niang is gone, so he has to take care of his younger siblings, fourth brother...let's talk...

Yin Zuo looked at his younger brother who was talking and gesticulating, rubbed his head, and let out a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Yin Qi tried to snatch the bird cage back, but the two younger brothers were taller than him, and they couldn't reach it even on tiptoe, "Don't you really think this bird can remind Brother Six to eat well?"

Yinzhen twitched her lips, "I don't think so. Rather than reminding me to eat, I just think that Brother Six will not be able to eat when he sees this bird."

Hang this bird in the room, and it’s okay to listen to “Have you eaten” a few times before eating, if you hear “Have you slept” when you are asleep, and then say “Are you awake” when you are in a daze, Yaoshou Now, what kind of torture is this.

Don't let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs tune this bird...until it knows when it can speak and when it can't.

In the future, Brother Nine must not be allowed to stay alone with Fifteen. Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Stupidity is really contagious. Brother Nine can just be with them, and don't be stupid with Fifteen.

Yinzhen handed over the birdcage to the eunuch not far away, and asked him to send the birdcage to the place where the birds were trained. Out of sight, out of mind, Brother Nine soon forgot if he couldn't see it. Also trained almost.

Yin Qi looked melancholy at the birdcage that was getting further and further away, shaking his head and sighing, "I can't help my brother when he grows up."

Not only did he do tricks without telling him, but he also bullied him for not being strong enough. Fortunately, he is a good brother who respects his younger brother, otherwise he would have followed Khan Ama and chased them with a feather duster.

Brother Jiu sighed and walked away, telling the younger brothers to go back to the residence first. He was going to Qingxi Bookstore to discuss matters with Han Ama. Yinzhen did not stop him this time. He believed that their family Han Ama was not old and dizzy. It is impossible to let Brother Nine mess around.

Look for Khan Ama, look for Khan Ama, and see who is beaten out in the end.

Yin Qi bid farewell to his younger brothers, full of confidence that their family Khan Ama would definitely see his lofty ambitions, if it was not possible, he would say that he would go to Jiangnan to play for a few days, and the whole world said that the scenery in Jiangnan is good for recuperation , it is reasonable for him to live in Jiangnan for a few days.

Changchun Garden is very large. The layout of this garden built on the remnants of the Tsinghua Garden in the previous dynasty is very particular. It also has its central axis like the Forbidden City. The courtyard pavilions for them to live in are concentrated in the south. In the area for hunting and relaxation, there is a large area of ​​cultivated land in the west. If you have nothing to do, you can go to farm for fun.

However, there are generally no one to play in that place. There are a lot of things planted in the cultivated land of Changchun Garden, and there are all kinds of novel varieties like the experimental field. If the yield is good, their Khan Ama will spread the seeds. , then replace it with something else.

In this era, the soil has not yet been fully developed. Fertilizers and suitable planting methods are the fastest way to solve the food problem. The method of hybridization and genetic modification is too difficult. At least for now, the pay and return are not directly proportional.

Yinqi walked towards Qingxi Bookstore with auspiciousness, and saw Yinzhen coming out of it from a distance, his eyes lit up and he hurried up, "Fourth Brother, why are you free to come to Changchun Garden today?"

There are not many princes living in Changchun Garden now, except for Yinzuo who did not officially open the mansion, there is only Yinqi and the little elder brother behind him, the princes who have been ennobled and opened the mansion live in their respective mansions, where do you want to go? Just go wherever you want to be happy.

Of course, this happiness is only limited to the imagination of the elder brothers who have not opened the mansion. In fact, Yinzhen and the others are not idle outside the palace.

Yinzhi compiled books with the Imperial Academy members, Yinzhen checked accounts at the household department, Yinqi lived in the military camp with their boss as he wished, and Yinyou and Yinhu brothers went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs together. In short, everyone has errands be busy.

The Household Department suffered a great loss a few years ago, and they were all dismissed from office to housekeeping. The current Household Secretary, Su He, was transferred from the Ministry of Industry. Kangxi probably felt that the officials in the Ministry of Industry were honest. promoted.

Years ago, so many people were cut off, and those sent to the frontier could not see their end at a glance. Even if the new minister was dishonest, he would not dare to do anything in a short time.

When the fourth master entered the household department, it was a weasel that entered the chicken coop, ahem, this description is a bit inappropriate, anyway, that's what it means. In short, the confiscating elder brother entered the household department and started to check the accounts. What he did at the beginning of his previous life was For these, I still have an impression of the problematic places, and it is much faster to find clues by following the results than aimlessly.

Ever since the king of Yongjun entered the Ministry of Households, the entire court has been walking on thin ice, for fear that he would be involved in any accidental problems. After all, the account of the Ministry of Accounts is not only related to the Ministry of Households, but all departments in the court, as long as they can receive salary, It's all related to the household department.

In the past six months, the list of people most unwilling to be seen by officials in the capital city, Yongjun Wang Yinzhen occupied the first place by far surpassing No.2.

Not only those who don’t want to see him, but they subconsciously tensed up when they heard the king of Yongjun stand up and say, “My ministers have a book to play.” In impeachment, there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and the skin can be peeled off even if it is touched.

The ministers are not happy anymore, but Kangxi's mood is getting better every day, and there are fewer people under him who are doing petty tricks, so how can he be unhappy.

The fourth kid usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but he didn't expect to hide his secrets, his whole body of skills is waiting for him to discover, this is good, Kangxi is no longer worried that the boss is unreliable, and the third has no opinions and can't be the prince's right-hand man, Yinzhen One can beat them both.

If this son is properly cultivated, when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will be much more capable than his side Fuquan Changning.

Every time the old father lamented that he raised his son well, he wanted to draw out his brother for comparison. After the comparison, he found that his son was still better, and then began to complain that he was not as good as the prince, and he did not have capable brothers to help him. , everything can only depend on himself.

How should I put it, it's quite embarrassing.

Yinzhen just came out after reporting the affairs of the household department. When he saw his younger brother trotting over, his expression softened involuntarily, "The recent busy work is over. Fourth brother will come to live in Changchun Garden in a few days."

He has no family members for the time being, so he can live anywhere by himself, living in the palace is fine, but he still prefers the scenery of Changchun Garden.

Going out of the palace to open a mansion is different from living in Qiandong. It is too troublesome to meet the prince, so it is better to live here nearby, so as to save the prince from doing anything on a whim when he doesn't know.

Yinqi said with some regret, "The fourth brother wants to live here, but the younger brother wants to go to Jiangnan to see, but that's good too, with the fourth brother here, Er Niang won't miss me all the time."

"Going to Jiangnan?" Yinzhen frowned tightly, "It's a hot day, what are you going to Jiangnan for?"

Fourth master looked at his younger brother who didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and pinching his brows, he realized that it was not only the crown prince who was messing around, but also this little ancestor.

As expected of the little ancestor brought out by the prince, he has learned ten percent of his ability to make things happen.
