When it comes to his next plan, Yin Qi will not be sleepy, he is not going out to play, he is going out to do business.

Come and go in the wind and rain, it's a big business.

The veins on Yinzhen's forehead were tense, and he was carrying the stinky boy who wanted to fly outside before his wings hardened to find the prince. How long did he not pay attention? What happened?

The prince just got married and didn't have time to see his younger brother, but he couldn't completely let go of him. This kid was brought up by him since he was a child and wanted to come out as soon as he was a child. Does it work?

"Hey, hey, fourth brother, my younger brother has something to do with Ama Khan, so I'll go find my second brother with you later, okay?" Yin Qi tried to rescue his collar, and hurriedly went to Ama Khan while he was full of passion Ma begs for orders, after this energy is passed, the words spoken will no longer be contagious.

The fourth master pursed his lips tightly, telling the disobedient brat to be more honest, dragging and dragging him to the prince's place. Fortunately, the prince's residence is next to him, otherwise he would have to find a guard to carry him over.

The prince is not idle in Changchun Garden, he is married and married, but a good man needs both his family and his career, and he spends money everywhere to support his family. His family, Khan Ama, did not run around this year, so he doesn't have to worry about the job of supervising the country. , It is rare to have time to do your own things, and a moment of leisure is worth a thousand dollars.

Their Khan Ama is a vigorous emperor. He is either on tour or on the way. The most skilled job he did in his previous life was to supervise the country. There is no way. He has been doing the same job for 30 years.

It's rare that Khan Ama didn't say where he was going to inspect this year. This kind of opportunity is rare, and I don't know how many years will be the next time.

In the study room, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was writing vigorously. He Yuzhu said that Yinzhen had brought Yinqi to find him. He put down his pen and clapped his hands and went out. Seeing the appearance of those two people, he was speechless.

He felt that the eunuchs under his command were too educated or too uneducated. Hearing the wording, could it be "brought"? It was clearly "dragged".

They had a fight?

The prince's eyes lit up, and he called the two younger brothers in, intending to be a bosom brother to resolve the conflict between the brothers, but after hearing Yinqi's bold words and ambitions, the bosom brother turned his face instantly, and the adjustment scene directly turned into a criticism... fight scene.

On a hot day, he ran to the Yamen of the Governor of Waterways. Was he torturing others or himself?

"The rainy season is about to come, and the yamen of the Governor of Waterways is busy. Going there now is not enough to cause trouble, so you are not allowed to go." His Royal Highness made a final decision, and decisively united with the fourth son of their family, fearing that he would talk too hard and make the darling Feeling uncomfortable, he softened his tone and coaxed, "You are still young, wait a few years until you grow up and then go on a field trip. What you have to do now is to study hard, not run around."

"It's always shallow on paper, and I never know that this matter has to be done." Yin Qi was pressed on the chair, using his wit to reason with his two brothers, "Talking about war on paper is not a long-term solution, and the flowers in the greenhouse are easy to wither... ..."

"Stop!" The prince stuffed his mouth with a snack, raised his chin and asked, "I just ask one question, what should I do if I get sick when I go out?"

The stinky boy is not worry-free at all, he starts messing around as soon as his body is just a little bit, did he forget that he was lying on the bed for two months with a cold wind blowing in winter?

The work intensity of the waterway yamen is unbearable for ordinary people. Even Jin Fu, the river governor, has to go down to the river to inspect it. He is either at this embankment or at that wharf every day. He is as busy as a spinning top, especially in this season. Can't find anyone.

Yin Qi was taught a lesson by his elder brother, and later realized that before convincing Jin Fu, he could do nothing in the Shuidao Yamen, but he didn't want to stay in Changchun Garden with nothing to do.

"I'm not young anymore. Yinyu Yiner can go out to earn money. Fourth brother has already run all over the capital at this age. What are you leaving me to do in Changchun Garden? Do you want to look after the child?" Yinqi puffed his face and looked at the child. Very dissatisfied with the errand.

"Your fourth brother is different from you." The prince blinked, and praised him to the heavens in front of the fourth brother, and then lowered his voice mysteriously, "He is very talented, and he was born to clear the court and do things for the world. Contributing, you are different, your health is better than anything else, leave the work to your fourth brother, and we will enjoy the blessings later."

The fourth master stood beside him, there was no difference between lowering his voice and not lowering his voice. Yinzhen looked at the prince who was starting to be unruly again with a blank face, wondering if he should let Yinqi move out of the palace in advance.

Let the prince continue to teach, Yinqi can only grow longer and more crooked.

The prince doesn't think there is a problem with the way he teaches children. He is such an excellent person, and the children he brings out are of course as excellent as him. Seeing Yin Qi, although they are a little too active, they are also good young people with the world in mind.

Now I just see that my brothers and sisters have things to do, and I feel bored when I am alone. As long as I find him a suitable job, he will no longer be obsessed with river water control. He is very experienced.

His Royal Highness laughed heartily, pulled Yinzhen to sit beside him, and started his little class with his bosom brother.

It's not that he doesn't care about water control, but that there is no way to carry out large-scale construction now. The problem of money is easy to solve, but money is not everything. He has also read the various schemes simulated by the system. Although he can't understand, but The coincidence of the plan with some water control strategies of later generations shows that the system can be trusted in this respect.

The problem now is that rather than internal affairs, their Khan Ama wants to deal with external threats first, maintain the stability of the territory first, and then devote himself to construction.

Taiwan was recovered, Lao Maozi was conquered, Galdan was beheaded, but the Junggar Khanate was still there, Tsewang Allah Butan started to move around after two years of being honest, Tibet also followed suit, if he hadn't guessed Wrong, either this year or next year, the imperial court will definitely send troops to solve these two troubles together.

"The imperial court wants to mobilize troops, no wonder Khan Ama is so nervous about the household department." Yinzhen nodded thoughtfully. He has been busy in the household department for so long, and every time the officials ransacked his house, he could confiscate a large amount of silver. Direct confiscation is faster than collecting money from taxes. He thought that his family, Khan Ama, had changed his inappropriate soft-hearted stinking problem, but he didn't expect that it was simply a lack of money.

In the previous life, would Khan Ama ransack his home if he was short of money?

No impression, isn't this what he likes to do?

The fourth master folded his arms and fell into a momentary confusion. Compared with the prince, he found that his thoughts and ways of doing things were very rigid, and he even subconsciously applied what happened in the previous life to this life.

This world has become abnormal since he and the prince were reborn, and even the behavior style of their family, Khan Ama, has also changed. Many things are different from the previous life. It is inappropriate for him to confine himself to the trajectory of the previous life.

Is he also going to escape like the prince?

The fourth master imagined what he would become after being possessed by the prince, and he shuddered abruptly to wake himself up. Forget it, he will be rigid, at least he is prudent and reliable in his work, and there are already so many unreliable ones. Brother, if he is unreliable, the Qing Dynasty may be ruined.

The prince was stimulated by the reaction of the fourth child in their family. What happened to him? Is there something wrong with him in his mind? Who told him to be a piao who can wander around in Beijing.

He is not as lucky as the fourth child. He can miss his life in the Forbidden City. His life is hard. One day he floats to the east to watch TV, and the next day he floats to the west to listen to the quarrel. He can't stop for a day.

Staying in the Forbidden City is a great blessing. Others have to pay tickets if they want to go. Of course, this blessing must be reserved for the stable and capable Yongzheng Lord.

The crown prince rolled his eyes, vented his yin and yang ecstasy, ignored Yin Zhen who was stunned by him, and knocked Yin Qi on the head to continue his close brother's small class.

"Ah? The quarrel is over?" Yin Qi yawned. He was not surprised by this kind of scene. If he hadn't eaten melon seeds when his brothers were arguing, the two of them would focus their firepower on them, otherwise he would call someone to give him melon seeds up.

The prince flexed his knuckles and rewarded him with a slap in the face, before he got down to business, "If you are really busy, Second Brother will take you to find Fifth Uncle in two days, Khan Ama asked Fifth Uncle to start building the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although the government-business system is not very reliable, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages at present, and there are a lot of dealings with foreigners there, and you can help in the past."

Since there is no way to carry out large-scale projects now, they should concentrate on making money. Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. As long as they save enough money, most of the resistance will be reduced when they start construction in the future.

Water conservancy projects require money, and frontier construction also requires money. The national treasury is a bottomless pit that can never be filled. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to work hard. It is impossible to be idle, and I will not be idle in this life.

When their family Khan Ama was young, he was not a self-styled person. Of course, this self-styled person depends on who he compares with. Compared with the next few emperors, their Khan Ama can be called an open emperor.

Most of the trade in the Qing Dynasty was carried out in various regions, but there were also many transnational transactions involving foreign countries. The aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River never gave up fighting for the right to speak in the court, because making money was no longer enough to satisfy them. If you earn enough, you will naturally want power.

The speed of coming to the Central Plains from the sea is much faster than that of a camel caravan, and it can transport more goods. The cost on the road is much less than that on the land. Choose to come to the Central Plains by wading through mountains and rivers through snow-capped mountains and grasslands.

When their Khan Ama first succeeded to the throne, there was no contact with the sea ban, and foreign trade stopped for a long time. The ban on maritime trade in Kangxi’s 23 years was abolished, and Western businessmen soon heard the news. In the past, the people who were responsible for dealing with foreign businessmen were all folks. The merchants who are now replaced by the official departments of the imperial court must not suffer more than before.

Merchants in the Central Plains will not go too far to trade with foreign countries, and they are mainly concentrated around the Qing Dynasty. Most of the maritime business is merchants in Lingnan and locals in the southeast coast. They ship out special products such as cotton, porcelain, and silk, or exchange them for silver dollars. , or for luxuries such as spiced ivory.

However, the biggest trade with foreign countries is not silk or porcelain, but tea. The well-known silk is ranked second. At this point in time, the John Company in Great Britain has been established for almost 100 years, and their business is in full swing. Can't be too far behind.

Uncle Wu is currently busy negotiating with the tea-loving British businessman, mainly to negotiate the price. They are the place where tea is produced. If the British businessman doesn’t buy it, it would be very difficult to find a buyer for the large-scale tea. However, there are not only legitimate business on both sides, but also tea smugglers. Those smugglers buy tea through legitimate channels, and they don’t necessarily follow the rules when they sell tea in the UK.

There are those people who make trouble, and they take the initiative in the negotiating field.

Business is hard to do and money is hard to earn. Everyone is supporting their families. Earn more and earn less. Don’t be so angry. Doing business pays attention to harmony and wealth. It’s not a big deal to make a lot of noise.

Prince Gong probably turned on some terrible switch, completely lost interest in the intrigue in the court, and specifically asked the emperor for business and money-making errands, got a name in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then started to pursue his career in a hurry.

The various factories in the capital are managed by professionals. In fact, there is no need to manage them. As long as the technology is in place, the products produced by the factories under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not worry about finding buyers. What they need to worry about is not enough production. .

The previous dynasty did business with overseas countries, and a large amount of silver poured into the Central Plains every year. People used copper coins for daily transactions, and silver was used for large transactions and overseas transactions. , The imperial court had to save money to control the amount of money spent, so there was less and less silver circulating on the market.

Now that the sea ban has been lifted, those merchants who came from the original way use all kinds of silver dollars, which can just solve their troubles.

Chang Ning was interested in these things Kangxi couldn't wish for, and the prince was even more pleasantly surprised. He thought that Yinzhen was the only one in their family who could make money, but he didn't expect that there was another buried talent. Let's just say, the ancestor Nurhachi started a business. It is unscientific that people from the family do not have the ability to do business.

But having said that, it’s not okay to have too much money pouring in suddenly. Once the ratio is out of control, it will be very troublesome to adjust. The previous dynasty has taught them a lesson. Whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the former dynasty, their biggest feature is the large number of people, so there are not enough mines underground, let alone not enough mines have been found yet.

The source of silver is to do business, and the source of copper is to buy from the neighboring island country. As we all know, the island country is the most troublesome, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the more copper they lack, the more they will make trouble.

There is more silver on the market. Usually, one thousand copper coins are exchanged for one tael of silver. Later, one thousand copper coins are often exchanged for more than one tael. If the exchange ratio is unstable, problems will arise.

There are a lot of copper coins in the folk, and they are still used to pay taxes in silver. Putting them in the homes of rich businessmen can save a lot of tax every year. When I see the account books, I feel sorry for the money that slipped away from my fingertips. The Qing Dynasty had to buy a lot of copper coins from the neighboring country. Copper, once the over there starts to drag and refuse to sell, troubles will happen in China.

Fortunately, they haven't reached that point now. They continue to do business, and at the same time try to find a way to mine the mine in the southwest, and they won't be afraid whether others sell it or not.

They have enough stuff in their own home, so let them be incompetent and furious.

"In this case, mining is more suitable for me now." After hearing the prince's words in a daze, Yin Qi weakly put forward his own opinion, "Uncle Wu is negotiating with the British businessman. There are many people who can help. There are few people looking for mines, so wouldn't it be better for me to look for mines?"

The crown prince twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "Do you feel tired from flood control or mining?"

He didn't even dare to let this little ancestor go to the waterway yamen, and let him go to a mine where there are no people, is it possible?

If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, you can still go to the south of the Yangtze River. Don't even think about the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest. When will this kid lose his inappropriate self-confidence? When will he remember that he is a delicate and weak ancestor who needs protection, not punching The rogue kicks the bully's strong man.

Yinqi's eyes wandered, and he decisively skipped the question, "Is what Yinzhen Yin'e did recently related to Fifth Uncle?"

"No, the two of them work alone." The crown prince shrugged, and Yin'e pointed out where to fight. Damn, of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Going to the northern grassland to trade with the Mongols and Russians, although there are many competitors, but also, as long as there are no people sent by the imperial court, they are the bosses, and the imperial merchants are not as good as the princes.

Yin Qi stretched his waist and was persuaded, "Okay, let's go to Uncle Wu when the second brother is free. It's a pity that we can't go to Jiangsu with the senior brother. I really want to see him quarrel with Jin Fu face to face."

Pen pals are not only written to say hello, but also to write letters to scold each other. Of course, these days, cultural people are relatively high-end. Few, every time it is a thick stack, no matter how serious the front is, there will be three sheets of paper at the back to practice eloquence.

In the future, if someone says that people who do practical things don’t quarrel, they won’t believe what they say, and there are no fools who can work steadily in the court for decades. Does that mean they don’t quarrel? If they don’t quarrel, the world will There is no one to quarrel.

Inherent impressions are bad, and honest people can scare people to death with full firepower.

The prince smiled and glanced at Yinzhen next to him, "Zhang Tingyu and Jin Fu quarreled, this scene has never been seen before."

Fourth Master calmly raised his head and looked at each other, "Well, I haven't seen it either."

Zhang Tingyu was his right-hand man. Jin Fu had passed away for many years when he became an official in the court. Who would have thought that the two of them would still have a chance to quarrel.

The next day, Yin Qi went to Qingxi Bookstore early to wait for the prince to give a report to take him out on errands. He was a little surprised when he saw Yin Zuo standing in front of the door, "Is the sixth brother in good health? Does he have a headache? Can you see clearly? Legs and feet Liso?"

Xu Zuo rubbed his head helplessly, and the bird appeared again in his mind, "Have you eaten? Did you sleep? Did you wake up?", "Your body is good, your head doesn't hurt, you can see clearly, your legs and feet are fine. , is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yin Qi paused, and then asked sincerely, "Have you eaten?"

Yin Zuo: ...

Okay, sure, this kid was just teasing him.

Brother Jiu is so unscrupulous because his sixth brother has a good temper and won't get angry. Seeing Yin Zuo covering his face as if he didn't want to talk to him, he first laughed and then dragged him to the next pavilion to talk , "Am I late? Brother Six came out after talking to Han Ama?"

"Just finished talking, the second brother is still inside." Mentioning what happened just now, Yinzuo's expression became even more helpless, "Yesterday Yinzhen said that you wanted to go to Jiangnan, and I wanted to ask Khan Ama to order the two of us to go together. Before I could open my mouth, my second brother arranged everything for the two of us."

Yin Qi sighed, and patted their sixth brother on the shoulder like someone who came here, "Second brother thinks that my body is too weak, and sixth brother must reply in the same way. I am weak, and sixth brother is weaker than me. Don't Imagine the impossible, accept the reality."

Yinzuo touched his nose and smiled, "Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

Compared to going to the south of the Yangtze River, Khan Ama is obviously more inclined to agree with them to help Uncle Wu in the capital.

The only two weak chickens among the many princes looked at each other, and soon began to discuss what they would do when they went to Changning. They switched from going to Jiangnan to staying in the capital without any suspicion, and quickly entered the state.

In Prince Gong's mansion, Chang Ning looked at the two nephews with great interest, gearing up to show them the world, "The next negotiation will be tomorrow, and you will live directly at the mansion today. In the morning tomorrow, Uncle Wu will take you to meet with the world." Businessmen in England are negotiating, and the scene may be different from what you imagined, just don’t be intimidated.”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs intervened in overseas business, and specially set up the position of Guangdong Customs Supervision, and its subordinate Bao Yi was in charge of supervision. It was not only a deterrent to the outside world, but also a deterrent to the inside. I'm nervous.

That company in England was squeezed out by the smugglers and was almost unable to survive. If you don’t negotiate with them, they will lose their share in the tea business. You can report as high as you can.

All kinds of negotiation scenes flashed through Yin Qi's mind, his eyes sparkled impatiently, "Uncle Wu, do we need to wear armor?"

Negotiation = fight, he understands.

Chang Ning slapped him and scolded with a smile, "What kind of armor are you wearing? Negotiations are not wars. If there is a war, it will be your turn?"

Yin Zuo smiled softly, "Uncle Wu, we don't know how to fight, we can only understand English businessmen."

There are missionaries in the palace teaching the princes to learn various languages, and the princes who have already left the palace to start a mansion don't have the patience to learn new things.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Uncle Wu, are you listening to the excitement, or the doorway?
