First Prince of Qing Dynasty

At the end of October, the emperor drove out of Shandong, turned the waterway, and headed for Jiangnan.

On the Yuzhou, Yinfeng had nothing else to do, so he pestered Kangxi to tell him stories.

Well, that's right.Just tell a story.Tell the stories he had heard from the mouths of the major missionaries before.These stories touch many places, many countries.The difference is that when missionaries confide, they tend to focus on their own experiences and feelings.When Yinreng narrated, he faintly focused on the local people's sentiments, products, and resources, and included a lot of his own private goods.

For example, which place has more gold mines, which place has beautiful jewelry, which place is rich in materials, which place has rich people, and which place has noble people with strong purchasing power and can spend a lot of money for what they like.

Yinfeng is also very good at choosing the time for telling stories.For example, when Kangxi and his ministers had a feast together; when Kangxi and his ministers stood on the bow of the boat overlooking the river; when Kangxi and his ministers climbed mountains...

In short, Kangxi cannot be the only audience.

He has acted in previous lives, watched many plays, and knows how to master the rhythm, how to set up suspense, and how to tell a story with ups and downs, which is fascinating.

For three or four days like this, not only Kangxi, but also all the ministers were fascinated by the story of Yinfeng.Every day with the driver, waiting for the prince to tell stories.

The story of the missionary is almost finished, Yinfeng then tells the local stories of each country, and after finishing the local stories of each country, he tells the story of the adventure of the sea ship.He spoke vividly, as if the scenes in the story were right in front of his eyes.There are thrills and excitement, passion and dreams, and wealth.

At the end, he sighed again: It's a pity that the sea is completely banned now.Such sights are no longer to be seen.

When Yuzhou arrived in Yangzhou, all the accompanying officials were completely "poisoned" by Yinfeng's story.

On this day, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to invite Yinreng over. As soon as he entered the door, he threw Yinreng's memorial in front of him, and angrily said, "Look at what you've done!"

Yinreng opened the memorial and saw that it was Li Guangdi who asked Kaihai for advice.

Yinfeng's eyeballs rolled wildly: "Ama Khan, Master Li invited Kaihai in 19 years, what does this have to do with me?"

Kangxi glared angrily: "If it weren't for your stories these days, would he bring up the old stories again?"

Yinfeng curled his lips, the officials of the DPRK and China had different opinions on the matter of opening and banning the sea.Without him, sooner or later it would be mentioned.He just couldn't wait and wanted to start the fire.

Kangxi snorted coldly: "This is the third letter I have received in the past few days."

Yinfeng's eyes lit up, um, this fire is burning well.

He walked to Kangxi's side, put the memorial back, and sat down naturally according to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, our army conquered Penghu last year, and the Zheng family is doomed. With this threat removed, Khan Ama no longer has to worry about it." .

"Opening the sea is beneficial to the people. Not to mention the merchant ship trade, even many people along the coast can make a living through this, and the common people will not be in trouble. Even if there is trouble caused by the night, I still have five thousand sailors in the Qing Dynasty, who can resist it. ②"

Kangxi was silent.

Yinreng took out a document from his bosom, which he collected from various ministries, and the trade situation in the past dynasties when shipping by sea, the profits can be seen in it.

After reading it, Kangxi was particularly surprised, snorted, and feigned anger: "You have already prepared."

Yinfeng smiled flatteringly and did not refute. He said: "Once the sea transportation opens, the royal family can also organize a fleet to go to sea. It can not only communicate with other countries, but also connect with them politically. Khan Ama thought that Master Nan said that the Western countries or Is there any merit?"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows.

"The imperial court regards the West as barbarians, and despises them. But it is undeniable that they are better than my Qing Dynasty in many aspects. If we don't listen, don't look, don't ask, we are fascinated by the heaven and the country, and the bottom of the well. What is the difference between the frogs in the sky? The Qing Dynasty is developing, how do you know that they are not developing?

"Merchant ships come and go and communicate with each other, and we can also know what the Western countries are doing now, what kind of regime they are running, and what kind of weapons they use. We can all understand their knowledge, culture, and mechanical inventions. We can also discard the dross and extract the essence. Learn from it. Long skills, turned into useful. Know yourself and know your enemy. Although peace is the most important thing, if there is a dispute in the future, you have to fight each other, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

Kangxi pondered for a while and said, "I see. You can go back."

Yinfeng nodded and retreated. That night, he heard that Kangxi called all the officials on the boat to discuss and ordered to open the sea.The corners of Yinrong's mouth curled up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuzhou never stopped in Yangzhou, but went through Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, and arrived in Jiangning all the way.

Jiangning is the Nanjing of later generations.The hometown of Yinfeng in his previous life.

Yinfeng couldn't hide his excitement when the Yuzhou docked.On the pier, local officials had received the letter long ago, and Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangsu, was waiting by the side.Tang Bin is familiar with Yinfeng, and he moved to Jiangsu to serve as governor last year.Shi Zai is also one of his teachers, but he hasn't started teaching him yet, and I don't know if the two of them still have such a fate in the present time and space that has been made into such a butterfly.

Tang Bin was diligent and frugal, and the pick-up team was well-equipped with standard etiquette, but not extravagant.However, the folks heard the news, thousands of people crowded here, wanting to see the holy face.

Kangxi originally planned to get off the boat and ride a horse. Seeing this situation, under the persuasion of everyone, he had no choice but to give up and take a horse-drawn carriage instead.Protected by Luan Yiwei, the local yamen cleared the way, but because Kangxi repeatedly emphasized that no violence should be used, and the people should not be hurt.As a result, there are many scruples, and it is difficult to move an inch, just like the speed of a turtle.

"The emperor! I seem to see the emperor!"

"Where, where! Why didn't I see it?"

"In the carriage! Just now, the wind blew the curtains open, so I took a look. There are one big and one small sitting in the carriage. The big one is majestic, and the young one is about ten years old, and looks very fair."

The audience slapped their thighs: "Oh! It must be the emperor and the prince. Quick, kowtow to the emperor and prince."

When one person takes the lead, all the people bow down and pray long live.

Yinrong was taken aback.Good guy, this scene is empty.It is even more grand than the crowd of fans in the previous life.The encore of the concert of superstar [-] people is not so loud.

With a happy face, Kangxi lifted the curtain and asked everyone to stand up.

Seeing his gentle attitude and kind eyes, the people became more courageous.

"My lord, thank you for the hybrid rice seeds! We have a bumper harvest today, and the whole family can have enough to eat!"

"Your Majesty, our family just got vaccinated against smallpox last month, and it feels very good. I won't be afraid of smallpox anymore."

"Your Majesty, we don't have anything else to give you. These are radishes grown by us. Don't dislike them!"

"Go, go, your radishes are bitter and astringent, so they are not as delicious as ours! Your Majesty, don't want his radishes, take ours. Our radishes are the sweetest, and the governor will praise you after eating them!"

Tang Bin: ...I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!

"When did the governor eat your radish?"

"The purchasing steward of the governor's family bought radishes with me, but they weren't for the governor to eat? Then the steward said yes, isn't it good for the governor to eat? Where did I go wrong?"

"The radishes are raw, so what's delicious? Your Majesty, I have pancakes here. The ones with meat are still warm!"

"Your biscuits are so ugly, who wants to eat your biscuits. You want them to be hot, right? Can your biscuits be warmed with chicken soup? Wait! My house is right in front, Your Majesty, I'll get you chicken soup!"

"Why are you so proud, who hasn't had chicken soup! Your Majesty, my radish is really delicious!"

Disputes, bullying, runs, and even almost fighting.

Kangxi: ...

He thanked the people for their kindness several times and declined the gift of food.But the more he is like this, the more fierce the fight is.

"It's all because of you. If you didn't say that my radishes are not good, would the emperor not want mine?"

"How can you blame me? Your carrots are not as good as mine."

"How ugly are my biscuits!"

"My chicken soup is wronged! How many hours have I boiled it!"

Kangxi could only retreat into the carriage, sweating, this enthusiasm was really unbearable.

Yinfeng gloated, Kangxi glanced over, he immediately put away his smile, and changed his words: "Khan Ama, the people like you and appreciate you so they want to give you something. You should be happy."

All the people come to congratulate, and the people's hearts aspire.Should be happy indeed.

"What's the matter with you? It's all you. Look, the emperor has already gone in. If it weren't for you, the emperor might have said a few more words to us!"

"Hey, why is it me? You talk more than I do! I don't have the same knowledge as you, shrew!"

"Who are you calling a shrew? Say it again!"

"What's wrong with what I said, want to fight? Just fight, whoever is afraid of whom!"

"come!"

"come!"

Kangxi & Yinfeng: ...

Yinreng lifted a corner of the car window and looked out curiously, tsk tsk, do you really want to fight in front of Yujia?Unexpectedly, he didn't see the scene of the fight, and a carrot directly hit him in the face.

Yinfeng: ...

Crowd: ...

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

The people were caught off guard, and the guards trembled.Good guy, why did you smash this little ancestor?Fortunately, this is just a carrot, if it were a weapon, would they still be alive!This is their dereliction of duty!

Yinreng caught the radish subconsciously, a little confused.However, this radish is washed clean, and there is no dirt on it.Yinfeng wiped it casually with his sleeve, took a bite, and narrowed his eyes: "It's quite sweet!"

The owner of the radish forgot his fear in an instant, and cheered: "Did you see it, did you see it! The prince ate my radish! The prince said my radish is sweet!"

She began to dance and dance, grabbing the people around her to show off.After the people around him finished talking, they ran to talk to the people behind them, walking and talking all the way, repeating in their mouths: "The prince ate my radish! The prince said my radish is sweet!"

Yinfeng: I'm afraid I'm not crazy...

When he was the most popular in his previous life, the most fanatical illegitimate fan was not like this!

However, with this episode, the behavior of "gift giving" among the crowd was interrupted, and Yu Jia was able to move on.Originally a quarter of an hour's drive, it took half an hour to arrive at Jiangning Weaving Mansion and stop here.

Jiangning is rich and prosperous, and there are many options for where the royal driver will stay.All the rich and powerful gentry in Jiangning, upon hearing the news, are willing to contribute money to the garden for nobles to live in.For them, this is a great thing.But Kangxi abandoned all the gardens and chose Jiangning Weaving Mansion.Because of the Cao family.

Today's Jiangning weaves Cao Xi ③ to marry his wife, Sun, who was once the nurse of Kangxi.His son Cao Yin even accompanied the Kangxi teenagers to study, and has accompanied him to this day, serving as Luan Yiwei.Cao's family is full of honor and favor, which can be seen.

After entering the mansion, the accompanying palace people went to clean up. Kangxi received all the officials in the front hall, Yinti and Yinreng accompanied him on the left and right.First ask the governor, then the prefect, then the prefect and so on.Ask one by one, say a few words per person, if there is something to report, it will take longer.

Yinti listened with gusto, and the meaning of being able to accompany the driver to meet officials and listen to officials' discussions is self-evident.How could he not like it!But Yinfeng couldn't sit still, his heart flew out.

Nanjing!What about his hometown!What an adult, why are you talking so much.Why haven't I finished yet.And Tang Bin, why is he so busy?It is not written in the history books that he is so wordy.Why don't you just do it?Can the language be simpler?Be careful, don't report everything, okay?There is no end!In the end there is no end!

After waiting for a long time, Yinfeng became impatient and moved his buttocks.Kangxi couldn't see it, and scolded: "What does it look like, if you don't want to stay here, get out!"

Yinfeng stood up suddenly, couldn't help but say, "Thank you Khan Ama, son, get out now!"

Kangxi: ...

He glanced at Yinti who was listening to politics seriously, and then at Yinti who couldn't wait to go out.

My heart is so blocked!

Seeing that Yinfeng had already run to the door, Kangxi said again: "Come back!"

Yinfeng: "Is there anything else that Ama Khan can do? I'm going to go shopping in the street. Jiangning has a lot of delicious food. Do you want to try Ama Khan? I'll bring it back for you?"

Kangxi: ...

There are still so many courtiers here!Is it plausible!Is it plausible!

Don't be angry, don't be angry, dear, dear!

Kangxi had no choice but to say: "Don't run too far, bring your guards with you."

Cao Yin interjected at the right time: "I'm quite familiar with Jiang Ning, why don't I go with the prince and be a guide for the prince?"

Kangxi was about to agree, but Yinreng had already waved his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Cao, no need! Just walk around by yourself!"

If you want a guide, he is from Nanjing.Very ripe!After saying this sentence, he ran out like the wind, for fear that Kangxi would repent and leave him behind.

Kangxi: ...

Ministers:  …

Yinti rolled his eyes, and hummed coldly in his heart: Hehe, idiot!No matter how rich and prosperous Jiangning is, can it compare to the capital?Khan Ama will stay in Jiangning for a few days, so why rush when he can't go shopping?

Now Khan Ama summoned all the officials, what a big deal.He just ran away, and in front of the officials, he directly left everyone behind, idling, without a calm appearance, what do the officials think?

The corners of Yinti's mouth turned up, suppressing his emotions, and his face became more serious.Just right.He can perform well, in stark contrast to Yinfeng.

the other end.Yinfeng ran out, bumped into Zanza in the yard, and pulled him along.The two put on the clothes of the ordinary young master and went out.Although people saw his face in the carriage when he came here, few people have seen him. Now that he took off his bright yellow clothes, even with two or three guards by his side, everyone just regarded him as the young master of the official family.

Yinfeng is in front, leading Zanza through the streets and alleys, seemingly carelessly, but in fact has a clear purpose.Yinfeng was dumbfounded when he reached the boundary of his hometown in his previous life.no the same.At this time, where is the shadow of the property market familiar to later generations on this street?

Yinreng was in a daze for a long time, then shook his head with a hint of sneer.Laugh yourself silly.It is now the 23rd year of Kangxi, hundreds of years have passed since the time when he grew up in his previous life.Time flies, and the sea is changing.Now the name here is Jiangning, which means that it is not the Nanjing in memory.

he knows.He clearly knew it, clearly knew it in his heart, but he still had thoughts, longings, and hopes.

Yinfeng sighed, that's all, the things of the previous life cannot be traced, the familiar home can no longer be returned, and the relatives cannot be seen.But fortunately, he still has this life.There is also Kangxi, and the Empress Dowager, who are also his family.And the palace, which was also his home.

Having figured this out, Yinreng raised his smiling face and stopped Zanza's shoulder to move on.

"Let's go! I'll take you to see Jiangning's special products. The famous Yunjin in Jiangning, do you know why it's called Yunjin? Jacquard silk weaving, fine craftsmanship, as magnificent as the clouds in the sky. It's not inferior to Song brocade and Shu brocade. There is also Yuhua tea. The tea color is green and clear, the aroma is elegant, the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is sweet."

Zanza laughed: "I know the brocade, the Jiangning Weaving Department pays tribute every year, and our family can get a batch every time. But what is Yuhua tea, I have never drank it in Beijing."

Yinfeng was taken aback, yes.It is not new for people like him and Zanza to supply the royal family with brocade.As for the rain flower tea, although it is not rare to plant it now, it does not seem to be flourishing?

Yinfeng did not express his doubts, but said: "Speaking of Yuhua tea, it has a long history. It has existed since the Tang Dynasty. It is recorded in the "Tea Classic" by Lu Yu, the tea sage. There is also Lu Yu's Qixia Temple among the people. What about the tea-picking rumors?"

Zanza's eyes lit up: "That's something to try."

"Let's go! I'll take you to taste it! By the way, try other delicacies. Jiangning is known as the capital of ducks, and it also has the reputation of being the best duck dish in the world. There are many kinds of salted duck, duck blood vermicelli soup, etc. Have their own characteristics."

Yinfeng swallowed his saliva, duck blood vermicelli soup, his favorite.

Zanza was very suspicious: "Second Young Master speaks clearly and clearly, and seems to understand it very well. But Second Young Master has lived in the capital for a long time, and this is the first time he has come back to Jiangning, right?"

Although Zanza is a generation taller than Yinreng, Yinreng is the prince, the king, and his science teacher.Therefore, the two never care about their seniority.Even if he left the capital, Zan Zha would respectfully call him Second Young Master even if he was not called a monarch or a subject among the people.Yinfeng called him by his first name.

Yinfeng blinked, he had lived in Nanjing for more than ten years, and he only lived in Beijing after he went to university.Thinking so in his heart, he said on the face: "I know that Ama is coming to Jiangning. I asked about it early in the morning! Cao Yin who is next to Ama knows, right? Their family is in charge of weaving in Jiangning. I asked him."

Anyway, it is impossible for Zanza to go to Cao Yin for verification.Therefore, what Yinfeng said was not bad at all.

Zanza nodded in a trance, confused by the reason.

The two enjoyed eating and playing vigorously, and they couldn't think of leaving.It was Xiao Zhuzi who couldn't help but reminded: "My lord, it's time to go back. Lord Tang and Lord Cao have prepared a welcome feast."

Zanza groaned, rubbed his chubby belly and shouted, "Oops! I forgot there was a welcome feast."

Yinfeng rolled his eyes straightly: "Just go back. It's still early, so we can make it in time. The Fengfeng banquet is similar to the previous palace banquets. It's just a lively event, and you can eat or drink casually to make a show. You still expect serious eating and drinking at the banquet."

Zanza: "I eat and drink seriously every palace banquet."

Yinfeng paused.

Zanza: "Everything is delicious."

Yinfeng: ...

Fearing that he would not believe it, Zanza emphasized again: "It's really delicious. I eat very full every time. If Ama didn't allow it, I would like to pack the rest and take it home."

Yinfeng was shocked, "Is the food in your Prince An's residence so bad?"

Zanza shook his head: "No! The food in the house is also delicious. Each has its own delicious food!"

Yinreng thought about it, they wandered around Jiangning, in just one hour, Zanza seemed to have eaten more than a dozen snacks, looked at Zanza's stomach, and then looked at the chicken leg he was gnawing on.

Yinfeng: ...

He never realized that Zanza is a foodie!

The two returned to Zhizao Mansion, just in time for the welcome banquet.Kangxi glanced at Yinreng, seeing that he had not missed the time, he only hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction, without reprimanding him.

Because he had already eaten outside, Yinreng took two chopsticks in his hands symbolically.On the other hand, Zanza, on the way back, he sighed, but at this moment, Yinfeng found that he had eaten it again, and he took a big bite!

Yinreng: ...Amazing!

The next day, Kangxi made a private visit in micro-clothes, and he was in a good mood when he saw the prosperity of the people.The monarch and his ministers found a restaurant to sit down, and Kangxi pointed to Yinti and Yinfeng and said: "Go and play yourself, it's good to come back at noon for dinner."

Yinfeng has nothing to answer.What's so fun about following Kangxi, it's fun to go shopping by yourself!Jiang Ning is so big, how could he be able to play enough kung fu yesterday.

But since Yinti is going too, Yinfeng pointed to the right and asked politely: "Brother, let's go this way, shall we go together?"

Yinti waved his hand: "I want to go over there and have a look."

OK.One left and one right, one east and one west, perfect!Yinfeng was also impatient with him, had no common language, and felt tired.It is still more interesting to be with the little uncle and apprentice.

Several people parted ways, Zanza was still thinking about yesterday's food, and pulled Yinrong to eat again.Yinfeng just watched him eat another street, and experienced the eating and broadcasting scene at zero distance.When they went back, Yinti was already there.There was a person standing outside the door, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in plain filial piety, with a small white flower on her hair.

Inside the house, Yinti was telling Kangxi about the girl's background.

"I saw her kneeling on the side of the road with a miserable life experience. She felt pitiful when she wanted to sell her body to bury her father, so she gave her a sum of money. She said that she couldn't ask for my money in vain, and she was willing to repay her as a slave and a handmaiden." .”

Mingzhu frowned slightly. To be honest, he disapproved of Eldest Brother's move, but since Eldest Brother brought everyone back, he would always find a way to do something, and said: "Elder Brother is kind-hearted. Helping this girl is considered a good deed. This is also an act of love for the common people."

All the officials agreed with winking.Suo'etu rolled his eyes violently, the corners of his mouth twitched, he did not agree or refute, and lowered his eyebrows in silence.

On the contrary, Zanza let out a yell, and reacted slowly: "Is that the girl at the door? Is her name Yanyan?"

Crowd: ? ? ?

what happened!

Zanza scratched his head: "Is she still selling her body to bury her father today? The prince and I went shopping yesterday and saw her selling her body on the side of the road. It's been a day, but she hasn't sold yet?"

Yinti's eyes moved slightly: "Since you have seen it, why don't you help? It's only a few taels of silver, it's easy."

Although these words were said to Zanza, but at that time Yinfeng and Zanza were together, so naturally they should be counted.Is the prince short of these taels of silver?Definitely not missing.So why doesn't he help?There is no heart of benevolence!

Zanza sighed: "I originally wanted to give her money, but the crown prince refused."

There was joy in Yinti's eyes, and everyone's eyes turned to Yinfeng.Yinfeng shrugged indifferently, and sat directly beside Kangxi: "Khan Ama, if she really has to sell herself to bury her father, that's fine. But it's true that she needs to bury her father, but selling herself is fake, fishing is the real thing."

Yinti smiled lightly: "The prince's words are really interesting. She is a girl, she doesn't have a fishing rod in her hand, and she is on the side of the road, not on the river bank. What kind of fish do she catch?"

Zanza nodded: "I didn't understand at the time. The prince made a bet with me. He said that if I go to help this girl with the guards, the guards will give her 20 taels, and I will give her 20 taels. She will definitely choose me. I don't think it's possible. Twenty taels is twice as much as ten taels. Any fool knows how to choose. It must be more.

"So we hid aside, picked a guard, let him go first, and gave Miss Yanyan 20 taels. Miss Yanyan didn't accept it. She said that seeing the guard's clothes, she also worked hard for the master, and it was not easy to make money.

"No one's money comes from the wind. The 20 taels may be the guard's salary for a few months, and the family is in a hurry. If it is given to her, the family will be gone. Although she needs money, she can't because of her. hurt someone else."

Yinti showed approval on his face: "Miss Yanyan understands righteousness. When I gave her money, she also asked me if I needed it urgently. I told her that this amount of money is easy for me. She just took it."

Zanza asked: "Did Big Brother just want to give her money and leave, and didn't want her to sell himself?"

Yinti nodded.

"Then did she insist on selling herself to elder brother, and said that she would be willing to be a slave or a servant girl? She said that elder brother gave her money to bury her father, and he was so kind to her that he must repay her. If she is not allowed to repay, she Feeling uneasy?

"Even after Big Brother emphasized that she has no shortage of slaves, she still did not change her original intention, saying that as long as Big Brother lets her stay by his side, that is to let her be a fire girl and make some food for Big Brother every day. Yes. Or being a cat or a dog, and being able to amuse the elder brother when he is bored, can be considered as doing her best and repaying her favor?"

Everything is on point.An unspeakable strange emotion arose in Yinti's heart, and he nodded hesitantly.

Zanza clapped his hands: "When the guard comes back, I'll go again, and I'll only give you ten taels. That's what she told me. I've never seen this kind of person who sells himself. It's not good to take the free money without paying the price." ?

"She refused. Seeing that I really didn't want to, she hugged my leg and begged. I couldn't even leave. Fortunately, the crown prince yelled in the crowd that there was a thief, and everyone rushed to catch the thief, causing riots. Yanyan The girl was distracted, so I took the opportunity to escape."

Recalling yesterday's scene, Zanza wiped off his sweat, and now he is still a little scared.It was the first time in his life that he met such a woman, and he had seen it for a long time.

Yinti: ...

Kangxi: ...

Ministers:  …

In general, there is nothing to understand.Shengjia stopped in Jiangning, and everyone in Jiangning knows it.The emperor's southern tour was accompanied by his young prince elder brother and the clan.The girl was afraid that she would lose her mind when she heard the news.Being in Jiangning with an ordinary background, this is the best opportunity.If you miss this time, I am afraid you will never have it again in your life.

It happened that her father died, so the girl took advantage of this plan in an attempt to find a way to prosperity.So she doesn't accept money from the guards.Because what she wants is not money at all.

She doesn't even need to recognize Zanza and Yinti to know their identities.People like Zanza and Yinti are well dressed, extravagant, and guarded by guards.She just needs to be smart, it's not easy to guess who will come after seeing these.

Just grab whoever comes.

Tsk, isn't it just fishing?Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who wished would take the bait.

Look, didn't you catch the big brother?
