After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Kangxi's proposal from Yinfeng must be shelved for the time being. It is impossible for him to increase the workload of the local provincial governors just because of his son's two words.

After three months of working together with various forces, the imperial court's tax reform finally officially began to be implemented in the golden autumn of October.Because the people have already obtained good land, there is not much opposition.The country gentry had nothing to say because of the new government policy.

As for the students all over the world, because the local governor still played a trick in allowing businessmen to participate in the imperial examination, the students have not yet realized that their own interests have been implicated.

As for cleverness, the governors of each province handle it differently.Most provinces did not make a big publicity about Xu Shangji's participation in the scientific examination, but sent officials to privately inform some prominent and famous merchants.

Some provinces simply decided to arrange business registration in a unified examination room at that time.Some tacitly agreed that even if they passed the provincial examination, they would find ways to restrict them from taking the general examination.

They were sure that since there were no special regulations above, no one would specifically report these black-box operations.

However, this small move can be said to have buried a big mine in other reforms implemented by the imperial court later.

The tax system has been established, and the land reclamation is in progress. The financial statements of the imperial court show that the treasury has sufficient balance.Kangxi finally got the mood and started to prepare his back to meet Mongolian plan.

Just before he was about to go on tour, two more things in the palace stopped him from traveling.Concubine Yi, who has always been favored, has the good news that she is about to give birth.Kangxi was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news.I thought that now that the weather is going well and the government is going smoothly, the arrival of this child is really the icing on the cake.

So he bestowed the title of rewarding concubine, and allowed her to raise the ninth elder brother herself.

What's more coincidental, the imperial concubine Niu Hulu, not long after Yipin gave birth to the ninth elder brother, also had good news that she gave birth to the tenth elder brother.

This is really double happiness.

But at the peak of great joy, Kangxi received a secret letter, asking him to settle the matter of officials from all over the country not reporting their land, and using domestic slaves as good records to open up wasteland privately.

Who submitted this envelope?

It is our prince who has been alienated for a long time, and now the brain circuit is finally normal and no longer belongs to the former teammate who is dragging the ranks, Suo'etu.

The secret seal at the Suo'etu meeting was really purely accidental.

Ever since Yinfeng relied on Mingzhu as his teacher, the old Mr. Suo'etu felt very sad.He felt that his status in the court had plummeted.Although the imperial court enacted new policies several times, he always fell with the wind of the banner, but he was not very highly regarded by the emperor.

His current scenery is not even half of what it was before.

Of course, this is just Mr. Suo's own emotion.In fact, he is still a stable minister of state affairs.Before that, he was awarded a lot of gold and silver for his meritorious service in receiving Russian envoys.

However, the comparison of reality can't stop his heart, which is not enough for outsiders.Especially after he went to court every day and saw that his old enemy Mingzhu was more important to the prince than himself (fake), he gradually had an urge to resign from office and quit the job.

How do you describe this feeling?It's like the child raised by his own family, although he knows that he may not be his own, but he still puts so much effort into him, and in the end he immediately calls someone else "father".

It was under such bitterness and pressure that Suo'etu fell ill on a rare occasion.

Although his connection with Yinfeng is no longer as close as before, he is still an important minister of the court, and Kangxi was informed of his illness the first time.

Kangxi also thought of his years of hard work, and ordered him to put aside his official duties first and take a good rest in the mansion.

After being ill for three days and having received several rounds of visits from all parties, Suo'etu lay on the bed with his mind frozen.He also didn't want to go back to sell vacations, so he simply took a walk in his mansion.

Slipping around, I overheard the chat of the two servants in charge of purchasing at home.The two happened to be lazy, and hid behind their backs in the small garden to find a shady place to chat.

"Little Six, I went shopping just now, and I met the Xiangdang who works as a cook at Mr. Chaha's house."

"You're making a fuss. Last year, there were a lot of people who fled to the capital after the drought. It's not unusual for you to meet one or two fellow villagers."

"It's not uncommon to run into fellow villagers, but when I asked him if he was used to staying in the capital, he actually told me that he would go back to his hometown in a few days to help Mr. Chaha reclaim fertile land."

"Is there such a thing? Master Chaha is an official in the capital and has not been released. Didn't the imperial government's decree say that only local people of good nationality can open up wasteland? We are all slaves who have signed a contract with the master's family. The government has a backup deed, so he can change it without permission?"

"Of course he didn't change it. From what I heard, Master Chaha helped to change it. He will go back in a few days and asked me if there is anything I want to take with me. He will take it home for me."

"Master Chaha is really brave enough."

"Hey, I'm a senior official, and I'm doing this in a very secretive way. When the time comes, I'll just say that I'm transferring a servant back to my hometown, and no one else can say anything."

Suo'etu only listened to half of it, and he didn't insist on listening to what the next two people said.

But this incident made him see that he can use more light and heat to make a further turning point in the court.

So on the second day, he went to the secret book and reported the matter to Kangxi.The so-called secret scriptures are scriptures that are passed on by special talents, and only Kangxi knows the specific content of the scriptures except for the person who wrote the scriptures.

As the minister of state affairs, Suo'etu must know what channel to use to pass this letter up.But I have to ask why he dared to ask for an investigation into the matter of Yin Tian?

That was purely incidental.

In Suo'etu's view, the matter of enclosing land in hidden fields was not a big deal.He himself has surrounded hundreds of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing.

But if this booklet only said that Cha Ha was secret, and let his subordinates go to open up wasteland for him, it would be as if he was targeting people and eliminating dissidents.This is another suspicion of party politics.

After repeated reminders from Yinfeng, Suo'etu, who already knew how to cherish the feathers, would not let himself have such an obvious handle again.So he also wrote about the strict investigation of Yintian by the way.And emphatically emphasized that this kind of behavior is a slap in the face of the court in vain.

Kangxi's first reaction when he saw the excerpt was definitely angry.He is even more angry than the past three alliances to attack him.He felt that San Fan was so bold and arrogant at that time because he needed people and soldiers.

Now these courtiers, what else do they have besides the face given by the court?They took the imperial salary and dig the corner of the imperial court.

Investigate, must strictly investigate!

However, Kangxi has always had a habit of doing things. He likes to get solid evidence first, and then throw the evidence directly on the criminal's face, and after making others speechless, he will be punished according to the crime.

Therefore, after reading the excerpts, he remained calm in the morning court.Only secretly investigating.

Because it was a secret report, Yinfeng has not received any information about this matter.Kangxi didn't tell him in particular, son, there is a bastard who is acting obsequiously and contradictingly, and is secretly tripping up our father and son.

So he didn't know that Khan Ama had already prepared to go north again, and silently canceled the plan.I don't know that Khan Ama has a big fire in his heart, and he is waiting for an opportunity to explode.

He just combined the recent major political events and felt that his plan was on the right track. By the way, he imagined that the outside world should have gradually become a prosperous scene where the weather is smooth and the people are thriving.

Of course, let's not mention his innocence for now, but just talk about another embarrassment he faced.

The two young elder brothers who were just born in the palace recently, because their birthdays are close, the days before and after the three baptisms are not far behind.Therefore, Yinfeng must prepare two congratulatory gifts at the same time.

If in the past, he went to his small warehouse to search for it, sent some rare jades there, and just dealt with the situation.

However, the system repeatedly reminded him to have a good relationship with his brothers, and he also realized the importance of having helpers, so he decided to give his two younger brothers some unique birthday gifts.And it must be the kind that will keep them fresh in their lifelong memories, and they will be able to think of themselves when they see these gifts.

But he didn't have such a gift in his treasury.

What should I do?Yinfeng was very worried.

The system came up with an idea, "Things that His Highness can make by himself are more important than objects."

"You're right." Yinfeng nodded solemnly, "Gu still has to do something himself, so that Lao Jiu and Lao Shi can know that Gu has a heart of love and affection for his younger brother."

But what to do?

After thinking about it, Yinfeng discovered that his hands-on ability itself limited the scope of congratulatory gifts to a very small extent.carpentry?no.Plant flowers?Already sent it, nothing new.

What to give?

In the end, he decided to hand-copy two copies of the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge he is currently learning, and give them to Lao Jiu and Lao Ten respectively.

Seeing how hard he copied it, the system couldn't bear to look directly at it, "His Royal Highness, your younger brother is still young, will this gift be, too..."

In fact, he wanted to say, this is too shabby.Moreover, can they really understand these?

"What are you afraid of? I will ask the two concubines to show them when they are six years old." Yinfeng said to himself.

If you master this knowledge by yourself, don't you eat alone?It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone!

The system has black lines all over its face, six years?I don't know if it will be there by then...

Yinfeng didn't care about it, and promised while writing: "Don't worry, Gu will not only send these, but also send some ordinary gifts."

After all, he still wants to save face.

The system made no comment on his assurances.

In this way, at the two baptisms of different specifications but equally lively at the beginning of November and at the end of the month, Yinfeng was present in person.And when the banquet was about to end, he avoided the crowd, and handed the two books to the wet nurse who was in charge of looking after the ninth and tenth elder brothers, and repeatedly asked them to keep them well. show them.

After the three washings were over, the maid of honor lightly tapped the gift, and handed over this strange gift to her master.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Niu Hulu used the same weird expression at different times, each took this thing that could barely be regarded as a book, first checked the thickness, it was not too thin.Open it again and read it carefully. They all know the characters, but the content is like a heavenly book.

They each asked their own grand ladies in the same puzzled tone: "Did the prince give you other things?"

"The rest of the congratulatory gifts are nothing rare, but they are custom-made ordinary treasures. Only this one, the nurses said, the prince has repeatedly explained that they can only be opened and read after elder brother starts studying."

After listening to the report, the two were at a loss.

Prince, what does this mean?
