First Prince of Qing Dynasty

Back at Yuqing Palace, I saw Aunt Fang leading Xia Cao and the others to check things.Yinfeng was very puzzled: "It's been a few days since I returned to Beijing alone, didn't the luggage be packed two days ago?"

Aunt Fang said: "It's not luggage, it's gifts and rewards from each palace."

"Return gift? Reward?"

"The prince forgot, you came back this time and brought a lot of things, which you said were for the princes in the palaces."

Yinfeng was surprised: "They gave so many gifts in return?"

"Argo Gege only gave one or two pieces. These were all sent by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor. The Emperor said that the Crown Prince has worked hard on this trip, and all the adults have received rewards. Naturally, you cannot be left behind."

Yinfeng blinked, "What did Ama Khan give?"

Aunt Fang handed over the list of rewards, and Yinfeng was very happy. These are all money.

Aunt Fang said again: "The servant girl saw that the warehouse was almost full, and was discussing with Xia Cao. When it gets warmer and the weather is good, I will dig it out and clean it up."

Yinfeng was taken aback for a moment: "Didn't we just open up another warehouse two years ago? It's full again?"

"Yes."

Yinfeng's eyes are brighter, what does this mean, it means that he is worth a lot of money!

Therefore, looking at the small money in front of you, oh no, it is a reward.Yinfeng waved his hand: "Then build another warehouse."

Aunt Fang smiled lightly: "Yes."

Yinfeng was delighted, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I remember that Gu's business bought a lot of things, not only for the elders, brothers and sisters, but also for the girl of the Shi family."

Since he agreed to marry Shi Wenbing's daughter, the girl from the Shi family is considered her own.Although Yinreng has been single for two lifetimes, devoted himself to his career, and has no leisure time to fall in love, he also knows the reason to show his attitude when the time is right.

He left Beijing for half a year and brought back souvenirs after traveling around. It is impossible for those brothers and sisters with whom he has a mediocre relationship to have, but for the daughter-in-law who will spend his whole life with him in the future.

Especially daughter-in-law and brothers and sisters have to be somewhat different.Therefore, when shopping, Yinreng focused on buying some beautiful and distinctive foreign jewelry, and wondered if the etiquette was too light if there were only these.

Niske was on the northerly side, and it soon became cold. He rummaged through the clothes in the box to keep out the cold, and accidentally found a dagger during the salute.The handle of the scabbard is inlaid with gold, jade and gemstones, which is not very practical but highly ornamental.In summary: good looking, worth the money.

He recognized that when the Mongolian tribes came to Beijing, Junggar still sent it to Beijing.Yinzhen also has one.These people seem to especially like to make weapons look like they are not weapons.Probably because his decision to go to Nisk City was made suddenly, Xiao Zhuzi and others didn't pay attention to packing their things, and got mixed in.

Yinreng conveniently put it into the gift for the Shi family girl.It's useless for him to hold this thing, girls should like it.What girl doesn't like gold, jade and gems?

Of course the dagger is too flashy.Yinfeng thought again, maybe some girls don't like being too gorgeous, but prefer to be pragmatic?So he found another box and put his firecrackers in it.

This firecracker was newly developed by Dai Zi this year. It is only half the size of a palm. There are three rounds of ammunition in the slot. The gilded wooden body is equipped with a safety device, so it is not afraid of fire.It is useless on the battlefield, but it can protect the children of the royal family.Therefore, there are no more than ten in the entire Qing Dynasty.

In fact, compared to defending the royal brothers, Yinfeng thinks it is too delicate and more suitable for women.So it's just right for a girl from the Shi family.

Seeing Yinfeng's question, Xiao Zhuzi bowed and replied: "The Shi family's share has been sent. The slave will go there in person."

Yinfeng was taken aback for a moment: "You move very fast."

Xiao Zhuzi:? ? ?

What does this mean?

He looked at Yinfeng confused: "But the slave did something wrong? A few days ago, the master and Mr. Tang were very busy, and ordered the slave to send the things brought back to various places. The slave just thought that the princess's is also among them, Naturally, I have to give it away, this is... this is..."

Yinfeng waved his hand: "Gu indeed ordered so, it's not your fault."

He paused for a moment and asked, "Since you went there in person, have you seen the girl from the Shi family? What does she look like?"

Xiao Zhuzi shook his head: "This servant has never seen Miss Shi. Lord Shi is not at home, but Miss Shi's second brother met this servant."

It is only natural that Shi Wenbing is not at home. After he became an official, he was not in Beijing for a long time.In the 21st year of Kangxi's reign, he was promoted to vice capital and stationed in Hangzhou. In the 23rd year, the White Banner was promoted to the capital of the Han army.In the spring of this year, he was transferred to Fujian to serve as the general of Fuzhou.

It is heard that the girl from the Shi family lived with Shi Wenbing in office when she was young. Later, when she got older, considering various factors such as marriage and connections in Beijing and China, Shi Wenbing sent her son and daughter back to the capital.The Shi family girl has two older brothers, the eldest brother Fu Dali, and the second brother Qingde.This is the "Second Brother" that Xiao Zhuzi said.In addition, as far as Yinfeng knows, there should be a younger brother named Guanyinbao.

Xiao Zhuzi came to his senses later, and said with a smile, "The master is curious about Miss Shi's appearance? It's not good to ask the servants to see this future mistress first, why don't you go to Shi's house as a guest?"

Yinfeng frowned, the ancient times are no better than the modern times, so it is inappropriate to suddenly come to the door and say that he wants to see his fiancée for no reason?And if he only talked about being a guest and didn't mention seeing his fiancée, it must be the male masters of the Shi family who came out to receive him.He still can't see it.Of course, he is the crown prince and the future husband-in-law of a girl from the Shi family, so it's okay to ask to meet him.but……

Yinfeng was a little timid all of a sudden, thinking that he must find an appropriate time, and not be too rash.

Xiao Zhuzi noticed something, the smile in his eyes grew bigger, he secretly pursed his lips and turned his face away.

"By the way, help Gu get a loom into the palace. Gu is useful."

Seeing him talk about serious business, the smile on Xiao Zhuzi's face immediately subsided, and he replied respectfully: "Yes."

……

Shijia.

Shi Lingyi looked at the gift from the prince's valet in front of him, a little confused.

Sister Yun led the maids to register.The eldest maid, Yatan, was tidying up her things, and she couldn't laugh or cry: "The beaded jewelry used by these daughters is nothing more than that. Although it looks like something from a foreign race, it is also exquisite and beautiful, and it is quite interesting. This dagger... how can anyone use it?" For myself..."

Ya Tan originally wanted to talk about her sweetheart, but then she thought that although her master was accused of marrying her, she still couldn't be called a "sweetheart", but it would be wrong to say that she was the future princess.Even if the title is established, it will be a matter of time for the crown princess, and it will only be counted after she becomes a relative and can be sealed.

So Ya Tan paused for a moment, then concealed the title, and said: "There is no one who gave this. Besides, there is this firecracker... This... This is too..."

Ya Tan didn't continue talking, after all, the other party was the prince.Don't be too explicit.But she has never seen such a coquettish operation of giving daggers and guns to her fiancée.

Don't say she hasn't seen it.Mrs. Shi is a daughter of the clan. Nanny Yun was serving Mrs. Shi earlier, but she was accused of marrying a confidant of the Shi family. After giving birth, she came back to be Shi Lingyi's wet nurse.Nanny Yun has followed Mrs. Shi from the clan mansion to the Shi family in her life. She has seen so many people and things in decades, but she has never seen such a gift-giving.

As soon as these words came out, Guanyinbao was not happy: "What's wrong with the firecracker? This firecracker is so exquisite! Don't be ignorant!"

He rubbed his hands, "Sister, if you don't want it, why don't you give it to me, I want it. I'm so rare!"

Before Shi Lingyi could speak, Qingde twisted one of his ears: "What nonsense are you talking about? The crown prince gave it to your sister. There's no reason to forward it to you."

Avalokitesvara cried out in pain, shrank her neck and pulled out her ears, ran to hide behind Shi Lingyi, and glared at Qingde: "There is no mark on this firecracker, and besides, the crown prince sent two big boxes of things. Come on, Xiao Zhuzi’s father-in-law also said that if my sister likes it, I can keep it, and if I don’t like it, I can give it to my brothers and sisters at home or keep it for others. Why can’t I pass it on to me!”

He said it outright and confidently, Qingde's hands were itchy because of his awkward tone and appearance, and he wanted to catch him to teach him a lesson, but Guanyin hid behind Shi Lingyi and shouted for his sister to help.

Shi Lingyi smiled and turned to the side, making room for Qingde to drag Guanyinbao out.Avalokitesvara was out of breath, howling like ghosts and wolves.Before Qingde could make a move, the decibels had already resounded through the clouds, causing Fu Dali's ears to hurt, so he had no choice but to stand up and separate the two younger brothers.

Avalokitesvara was rescued and hugged Fu Dali's waist tightly.He probably knew by now that his sister was unreliable, and only his elder brother could save his life.

Qingde: ...

Fu Dali pushed down the waist pendant with a little disgust, and then explained to Shi Lingyi: "In the past two years, both the emperor and the crown prince have valued Dai Zi, and Dai Zi is indeed talented, and has improved a lot of firearms. The firecracker in front of you It is different from the current frontier vanguard army and Shenji Battalion.

"A few days ago, I went to visit Prince Kang's mansion with my uncle and heard some news. It should be new this year. There were not many in the Qing Dynasty. Except for the emperor, there were only a few older people in the palace. Elder brother and the county king have it together, but none of the other clans.

"The prince can give you this firecracker, which shows that he attaches great importance to you. As for the first time the prince gave a gift to a girl's family, he gave a weapon such as a firecracker and a dagger..."

Fu Dali coughed twice and cleared his throat, "I've heard that the crown prince is not good at women. There have been many slaves in the East Palace these years, but there has never been a favored one. I think, probably the crown prince has never given a gift to the girl's house. Things, I don’t know what to send and how to send it.”

"Brother, I can save it." Shi Lingyi smiled and nodded, looking at the exquisite firecracker in front of him, with a light shining in his eyes.

Avalokitesvara rolled his eyes and said, "Just a few elder brothers in the palace are with Hejun Wang? Tsk tsk, with Hejun Wang's treatment, those rumors outside can't be true, right? Brother, have you heard that in Prince Kang's mansion?" Other secrets, such as whether Prince Hejun belongs to the emperor or not... Oh, brother, why are you beating me?"

Fu Dali scolded angrily: "You can talk nonsense, and you can say these words casually."

Guanyinbao was very aggrieved: "I just talked about it at home, and there are no outsiders. Besides, there are too many people discussing in private outside, and I haven't seen the superior take care of it. Everyone said that this is the emperor's acquiescence. Or else How did you choose to confer a title on King Hejun before getting married, and reward him with a mansion to move out? This is to tell the people in Prince Yu’s mansion that King Hejun will not compete with them for the title. He is of his own line."

Fu Dali was a little surprised, has it already been discussed so deeply outside?In particular, even a child of Guanyinbao's age can clearly understand such words?Seeing Guanyin's unconvinced appearance, Fu Dali frowned slightly.Father is not at home, as the eldest brother, he should take on the responsibility of teaching.

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Shi Lingyi took the lead to pull Guanyinbao over, and gently touched his head that had just been beaten: "We don't care what outsiders say or do. But you are a member of our family, so you have to guard our house No matter what his background is with the county king, just remember that he is with the county king. You can’t say these things in the future.”

Guanyinbao glanced at Fu Dali's face, bowed his head and admitted his mistake in a sensible way: "I listen to my sister."

"Since you already know your mistake, you won't be punished, just a small punishment. Starting tomorrow, one hour of riding and archery will be added every day for this month."

Guanyinbao:? ? ?a month?Add an hour every day?What do you call non-punishment?What do you call punishment?

Shi Lingyi has already looked at Fu Dali: "What do you think, brother?"

Fu Dali nodded.

Qingde applauded even more.

Guanyinbao wanted to fight for it again, but just as he opened his mouth, before he opened his mouth, three pairs of eyes of Fuda Li Qingde and Shi Lingyi glanced over, and Guanyinbao immediately frightened: "Okay...that's good. I...I think so too Good."

Shi Lingyi tilted her head, and couldn't help laughing.

On the Shi family's side, the brothers and sisters are very affectionate, laughing and playing, having a good time.

Yuqing Palace and Yinreng don't have such leisure time.

Outside the palace, actively cooperating with the preparations for the development of the Tajiguli textile workshop; inside the palace, Kangxi discussed with a group of courtiers the management of the large area in the north of the demarcation line.Yinfeng listened for several days and expressed some opinions.

First, the area adjacent to Heilongjiang, plus the existing areas east of Heilongjiang, are all united.There are many wild animals in these areas, which can be used as fur resource reserves.At present, there is no so-called animal protection law, and the animal protection law of later generations is not very feasible today.After all, this is still an era when people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.

That being the case, fur is a bestseller in European countries.If it is properly divided into animal categories, hunting periods and rest periods are set, and this area is standardized, it may be possible to rely on these resources to exchange large amounts of gold and silver with European countries.

Gulan's expansion for nearly a hundred years is based on this method to make money.They did it, how could the Qing Dynasty not do it?

Second, the Beihai coastal sub-region is not only rich in water resources, animal and plant resources, but also rich in mineral resources.The Qing Dynasty can try to explore and discover slowly.

Third, it was assigned to the city, and it was specially used to collect the survivors of Luo Yehuang.Those who are willing to enter this territory will be allowed to live here for generations, and will help them handle the household registration of the Qing Dynasty. In the future, they will be our citizens of the Qing Dynasty.Unite Luo Yehuang's strength and build a city wall.Join forces with the Luo Yehuang survivors in Gulan to form a defensive front against Gulan.

Although now the Qing Dynasty and Gulan have signed an alliance and reached peace.But no one knows how long this peace can be maintained, so it is necessary to plan ahead and always be on guard against Gulan's counterattack.

Fourth, set up a big official in the frontier, which can even be compared with the establishment of the capital in the Han Dynasty for the jurisdiction, to maintain the social order of the place, and to guard the land.

Regarding the above points, after consideration, Kangxi accepted them one by one, and discussed the details with other officials.Finally, Peng Chun was appointed as the general stationed in the border, in charge of all security affairs in this territory.

In addition, Yinfeng's own affairs are not idle.He has basically learned the use of the loom and understood its working principle under the professor of the palace lady who knows how to weave.Then on the basis of the existing loom, improvements were made to make a flying shuttle.

Textile Textile, besides spinning, also has weaving.Spinning and weaving are closely linked and inseparable.Tajiguli's new spinning machine solves the problem of spinning, which can greatly improve the working efficiency of spinning and increase the supply of cotton yarn on the market.But to turn the existing cotton yarn into a desired commodity, it had to be woven into cloth.

What present loom used is common shuttle, needs two people to cooperate.The so-called flying shuttle is nothing more than loading a small wheel on the shuttle and installing it in the chute, and then installing springs at both ends of the chute, so that it can shuttle back and forth freely, and the speed of the shuttle is faster.In this way, the work of two people can be completed by one person, and the weaving surface is greatly widened.

In the past, the time it took for two people to weave one piece of cloth can now be divided, and each person can weave one and a half pieces, which is equivalent to the same manpower, and the efficiency is three times that of the original, or even higher.

In the previous life, the West first invented the flying shuttle, which increased the speed of weaving, thereby increasing the supply and demand for cotton yarn in the market, and then the spinning jenny appeared.Now he reversed the order, and it was the same.

Do the math, the time can be decades earlier than the West.

After solving the problem of the flying shuttle in his hand, Yin Reng stretched his waist, looking at the sky, he rarely had time, and was about to take a nap, when Suo'etu came without winking.

Yinfeng: ...very good, the nap is gone again.

Why do you say again?Hehe, this is already the third time that Suo'etu has done it these days!

Yin Reng instantly turned into Yin·Unhappy·Reng, staring at Suo'etu with deep and murderous eyes.Seeing Suo'etu was terrified and full of doubts, but he still bit the bullet and said what he needed to say.

"Prince, according to your order, Wen Chun and his party were all imprisoned in a small black room. Now three of them can't stand the trick."

Yinfeng frowned: "Wen Chun recruited?"

"No."

Yinfeng let out a snort, "Except for Wenchun, the others are just young people with limited knowledge, even if recruited, how useful will it be to us? That's it, why are you rushing to report to Gu?"

Suo'etu noticed that Yinfeng's tone was not right, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor told you that the special investigation department is in charge of the crown prince. Wen Chun's first mission since the establishment of the special investigation department must be completed beautifully. Let Wenchun make the best use of it. Therefore, any matter here, no matter how big or small, you must ask the prince to show you."

Yinfeng: ...

He was very puzzled, what kind of image did Kangxi see, so that the change was so great.Yinfeng doubts that Kangxi's current move is probably to train him into a 007 social animal, and then enjoy the happiness of an unscrupulous boss by himself?

Absolutely not!

Yinfeng took a deep breath: "How long has Wenchun been closed?"

"Sixteen days."

Yinrong curled his lips, he is a character.Wen Chun's subordinates didn't have such good treatment back then.I can't hold it anymore.Wen Chun had enjoyed "VIP treatment" for a while, and then suddenly changed from "VIP treatment" to "Death Row Treatment". With such a gap, how did he survive?

Yinfeng narrowed his eyes: "Let him out, as before, give him wine and meat, help him bathe and comb his hair. Let him have a happy day, and then lock him in."

Suo'etu was confused: "Wen Chun has been irritable a while ago, swearing day and night, his temper is getting worse and worse, and the effect is beginning to show. Weichen thinks that maybe he will compromise after being locked up for a while. Will letting him out of this stall mean that all previous efforts will be in vain? ?”

Yinfeng snorted coldly: "You also said that it was a few days ago. Since this situation has been happening for several days, why are you still not letting go? Those subordinates who opened their mouths confessed how long after this situation happened?"

Suo'etu paused and said, "The short one is two days, and the long one is five days."

"How long has Wen Chun been?"

"Ten days."

Yinfeng hooked his lips: "How is he now? But he is still violent and cursing, even when the guard is delivering food, he can't wait to talk to him, or grab the guard through the small window, and keep calling the guard to stay away. As a life-saving straw that people can grasp when they are drowning at sea?"

"No."

Yinfeng sighed: "Ruogu's expectation is not bad. Not only did his symptoms not get worse, but in the past two days it has eased, and he has even turned into silence. Is it right?"

Suo'etu smiled wryly: "The prince predicts things like a god."

Yinfeng closed his eyes, Wen Chun is really not easy.

"He's almost desensitized."

"Desensitization?" Suo'etu was confused, what do you mean?

"When Rigu asked you to use this method to deal with Wen Chun, he said a word: I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the light. This sentence is very reasonable, but it does not apply to everyone. Some people, after the light, if Immersed in the darkness all the time, I will accept the reality little by little, train myself, and let myself get used to the darkness."

Suo'etu's expression sank.

Yinfeng said again: "Uncle, the Buddhists say that there are seven sufferings in life. Birth, old age, sickness and death, parting from love, resentment and hatred, the last thing is not getting it. But I feel that not getting it is not too much suffering. What is more bitter is getting it but not getting it." Losing. What is more painful than seeking and losing is to keep seeking and losing. The cycle between gain and loss, loss and recovery, exhausts your expectations and hopes step by step.”

Suo'etu immediately understood: "Prince, what does the prince mean to let Wen Chun give light again when he is already getting used to the darkness, and then take away the light again?"

Yinfeng nodded.

Suo'etu was shocked: "I will do it now."

"Wen Chun's perseverance is good. It may take too long to rely on this alone. You find a few deaf-mute people, set up a big drum in the dungeon, and set up a few gongs. Let them take turns to face Wen Chun non-stop. Chun’s little black room can be beaten, or thrown through the small window to harass him, but don’t communicate with him, and don’t let him sleep.”

Yinfeng hehe, I won't let you sleep, and put you in the dark, with no one to communicate with, I don't know the day and night, I can't control the time, I don't know what night it is, let's see how long you can last!

This is still holding up, you win!

Suo'etu bowed: "Yes!"

"Before Wen Chun recruits, don't bother Gu. Gu is not interested in what his subordinates say."

Suo'etu: ...

"Yes, I know about it, I will leave."

Seeing Suo'etu turned and left, Yinfeng said again: "Come back, does Khan Ama know about the confession made by Wen Chun's subordinates?"

"I know. I came to Yuqing Palace after showing the Emperor first."

Yinfeng: ...very good.I've seen it all myself, and let Suo'etu bother him!

Yinfeng suddenly showed a standard etiquette smile to Suo'etu, "Uncle, the response to Wen Chun will be changed in the future, should you report to Khan Ama and let Khan Ama know?"

Suo'etu was suspicious: "Would it be more appropriate to wait for Wen Chun to confess?"

There is no one who has to report something in response to changes, and he has to make some achievements in order to claim credit.If you don't have any grades, go to face the saint. Does the saint not think you are annoying?

Yinfeng's smile was strong, his attitude was firm, and he could not refuse: "Gu thinks it is appropriate to go now."

Suo'etu: ...

Yinfeng: Come on!Hurt each other!
