Qing Dynasty - Four Fu Jin Does Not Like Farming

The potatoes that Yinzhen planted casually by himself turned out to have a good harvest, and he was extremely proud.

Not only generously distributed to the fourth sister-in-law, but also said to the fourth brother, since you want to save the seeds you planted, in the future, he will wrap the potatoes for you and your sister-in-law.

He didn't even forget to take care of his little follower and eldest niece, and even sent some to Yonghe Palace.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother had a good harvest of potatoes, which made Kangxi and others reaffirm the high yield of potatoes. Kangxi was extremely proud of such a high yield of grain under his own rule.

After Yinzhen saw that the harvest was not bad, he didn't pay much attention to the follow-up matters.

Although he is a serious person, his energy is limited after all.

There is still more than a year to graduate from the study room, and he deeply feels his own shortcomings.

After confirming that the younger brother was not bullied by the slaves, he practiced martial arts seriously with his father-in-law every day, and was taken care of by the nanny and eunuch arranged by Khan Ama for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It also made people pay special attention to the tenth brother, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not allowed to treat him lightly.Seeing that the tenth brother's mood is not as heartbroken as it was at the beginning, he feels a little relieved.

Not only the father-in-law, but even Er Niang also said that he should work hard to do his own thing, not to put more energy on studying and practicing martial arts after leaving regrets in the future, and want to give his study career a perfect answer sheet.

For this purpose, Yinzhen even took the initiative to hand over the affairs of farming outside to Kangxi.

In Yaqi's view, Yinzhen has always been the king of cursiveness, but now he is even more cursive.

I don't know where the desire to win or lose arises. It may be that she has been indulging in a sweet love recently, and Yaqi doesn't want Yinzhen to underestimate herself.

Therefore, in terms of study, Yaqi also made efforts in the third year of high school.

The young couple who concentrate on studying will inevitably pay less attention to the outside world.

After Er Niang's death, Yin Yi, who began to reform herself and study martial arts seriously and studied painting, was extra cautious every time she passed the door of the fourth brother's house, fearing that someone who was not good would be pulled in and work hard together.

"Actually, studying hard is a good way to divert your emotions." Yinzhen looked at Yinqi who had lost weight several times, and couldn't help but persuade her.

Yinbi shook her head, and said in a muffled voice: "But every time I read and practice calligraphy with my fourth brother and sister-in-law, it is simply too painful. The two of them will look at each other and giggle while learning, so I feel that I am a superfluous person." .”

Yinzhen thinks about it too. Now he is no longer the nine princes who don't understand anything but only know nonsense. Because he founded the monthly magazine, he knows a lot about the joys and sorrows of time.

He patted Yinji on the shoulder with special approval, and asked him to help him proofread the manuscript in his spare time.Thinking that maybe he has seen a lot and knows more sad things, the tenth brother may ease his grief a little bit.

Yinniu sniffed, all of Enniang's concerns before leaving were herself, and the fourth brother said that only if she lived well, could Enniang feel relieved.

He also tried his best to adjust himself, but it was really... so difficult.

Fortunately, there are still many people who care about him, such as the ninth brother, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law... and the second brother of the prince, and Khan Ama.

Kangxi was very moved by Si elder brother and Si Fujin chasing after each other and studying hard.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine cheerfully told Kangxi that after she got engaged to the prince in the future, they should let their Fujin study in the study, and compare who is more motivated.

"If you lose to my family Fujin, it will be interesting." The imperial concubine's eyes were full of expectation.

Kangxi smiled without saying a word, and did not make any comments on this.

Although there is some truth to this, but after the engagement, the girl's family has to prepare for marriage, and there are more things to do. Where can I have such energy?

Therefore, Yinzhen and his wife are special cases.

For example, Yinzhi's future Fujin, Pengchun's daughter Dong Eshi, was also asked to take her back to prepare for marriage after the marriage was bestowed.

Yinzhi is a bit frail, Kangxi deliberately suppressed his marriage, just wanting him to be older before reuniting.For this reason, even Concubine Rong didn't dare to stuff his son with people at will, and even beat the maids around him, for fear of having ambitions that shouldn't be born.

The potatoes grown by Yinxiang and Yinzhen are all high-yielding, and the yield of potatoes in Yinzhen Zhuangzi, Changchun Garden, and Yuanmingyuan is very good this year.

The potato harvest is well known to all the people in the court, and those with connections have already obtained the seeds from the Guangzhou generation in Fujian.Kangxi did not hesitate, and even left only the seeds he needed, and promoted the others.

The taste of Fanbang potatoes is far inferior to those cultivated by Yinzhen, so Kangxi is more aware of Yinzhen's talent, and even guesses in his heart, could it be that Yinzhen really has some background, so he can grow what he grows?

Because his son has not yet entered the court, out of protection for him, or other considerations, Kangxi did not announce to the public that it was the fourth prince who improved the grain of the country.

Yinzhen didn't care much about this, he didn't think he could only do such a little thing in his life.In fact, most people in the DPRK knew that this was their own achievement, and Khan Ama didn't hide it, so he didn't care whether he could become famous among the people.

Being so indifferent to fame and fortune made Kangxi and the prince feel better about him.

It is worth mentioning that when promoting fine varieties, out of selfishness, Yinzhen used the potato cultivation and growth diagram painted by Yinyi as a publicity, and printed it in Jiuye Monthly.

Yinzhen didn't expect that he would make a lot of money again with his fourth brother and tenth brother. The sales volume of the newspaper was very high. The agreement signed with the merchant before was linked to the advertising fee.

Seeing that he was able to help Brother Nine, Yin Qu was also very excited and rarely smiled.

For this reason, Yinzhen, who saved a large sum of money, increased his investment in Dai Zi again.

"What I want is the continuous firing of shells on the boat. The range is far, and the guns should be light and thin, so that they can't weigh too much on Jiu Ye's boat." Yinzhen, who is rich and powerful, directly asked Dai Zi.

Yinzhen didn't want to put too many shells on the ship to put goods on board, but safety issues must also be considered.

Dai Zi was exiled in Liaodong for four years, and his life is much better when he comes back. There is no intrigue, and the people under him are all obedient, and they do what they like every day.

Even Dai Zi felt that this was the life of a god, and he no longer valued official positions as much as before.

Although I can't have too much contact with outsiders, the emperor rewarded my Zhuangzi, the nine princes provided funds, and the prince even sent someone to take care of my body.

After learning about the situation of those foreigners, Dai Zi was very satisfied.

Did he just say it?Nan Huairen was not a good guy, and the fourth elder brother also told him that it was because he was too good that he was being counted against.

There was a fire in Dai Zi's heart. When he knew that because of his strength, countless foreign countries wanted to harm him, he exploded with rage.

He is good?He can do better.

He wants to build a batch of boats for Brother Jiu that are invincible and invincible when encountering water. He also wants to build a batch of repeating firecrackers that are as easy to carry as sleeve crossbows. go!

He wants to let foreigners know that Grandpa Dai is someone who cannot be provoked, and wants to avenge himself.

He wants to make Nan Huairen a sinner of their country and a disgrace to their nation, so that the descendants of his family can no longer lift their heads.

The fourth elder brother said that only in this way can he relieve his hatred, and Dai Zi deeply agreed. What the fourth elder brother said made him feel that the grief and anger in his heart had come to vent again.

After the potatoes were improved, because the quantity was limited, the government immediately recruited farmers who were willing to plant potatoes, saying that as long as they were willing to plant potatoes, they could keep one-third of them in the future.

Although Dai Zi didn't show up outside, he knew about it right away. For this reason, he sent home the rewards he had accumulated during this period, and spread the word that all the land should be planted with potatoes.

The foreigners are guarding against the Qing Dynasty and harming themselves, but they can't let them get what they want.

With money and official jobs, and without those disgusting people and things, Dai Zi's inspiration is simply overwhelming, especially after receiving the pattern of Western weapons given to him by Master Jiu, he wished he could have 24 hours.

If it weren't for the imperial doctor begging him to rest and sleep, to walk around, to drink water, and someone to feed him three or four meals a day, Dai Zi wouldn't want to move, just sit down. Constant calculations on the table.

Such a Dai Zi made Kangxi look at it and shouted that he used it wrong in the past. With this temperament, what kind of intrigue is there?This person's temperament is not suitable for walking in the officialdom at all, and he offends people too easily.

Dai Zi was originally talented, and he worked hard with all his strength, and naturally the results were remarkable.

In order to prevent him from exhausting himself to death, after all, there is still no second such treasure, Kangxi specially gave him a garden, and put him and his apprentices, as well as some officials from the Ministry of Industry who worked with Dai Zi. , directly pulled in.

Let him work for a while and then go out for a walk, advocating a combination of work and rest, so as not to hurt his body too much.

At the same time, the wide distribution of the monthly magazine also made Kangxi see the importance of publicity.

Yaqi seldom hears about Dai Zi, and occasionally hears about what he has done, such as improving the recoil of the firecracker and making the shooting range longer.

In fact, she shouldn't know these things, but Yinzhen found that his little Fujin was very concerned about these things, so he told her something he could say.

Every time after listening to it, Yaqi expressed her joy.

It feels good to change the world.

When Xiao Fujin was happy, he became very enthusiastic. He was busy with his studies and had little time to spend time with each other, so Yinzhen enjoyed this short time of intimacy that belonged to the two of them very much.

The potatoes that Yinzhen grows are not for breeding, he is purely for eating.

For this reason, after everyone else's potatoes were taken for seeds, Hardened kept his own.

He is not very old, and Kangxi is not too short now, so he did not force his son.

After potatoes are free, in addition to potato chips dipped in tomato sauce, stewed pork with potatoes is also his favorite.

At the same time, he also unlocked various ways to eat potatoes. Yinzhen really said that he would never get tired of eating potatoes all his life. The best thing to eat is all fried food.

But after eating for three days, he was stopped because the fourth sister-in-law said that he was a little angry and would not eat fried food.

"If you get angry, you will be fasted again, do you want it?" Seeing that he was a little unconvinced, Yaqi asked with a smile.

Yinzhen, who originally wanted to resist, heard this reminder, and suddenly thought of the painful time of fasting, and decisively decided that the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, and he will be an obedient and obedient child.

The pigs after castration can't help but grow fat and strong, and the most important thing is that they lack strange smells. Not only Yinzhen likes them, but even Kangxi and Yinreng are willing to eat two bites.

Although it sounds cruel, after eating castrated pork, no one is willing to eat much, because there is some strange smell of pork.

"No wonder all the eunuchs in the palace are fat and fat." The imperial concubine couldn't help but sigh with emotion as she wiped off the sauce from her mouth after eating spring pancake rolls with shredded pork and cucumber sticks.

Didn't expect castration to have this effect?

Just as Yaqi wanted to agree, she saw Su Peisheng took two steps back with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Just wanted to change the topic, this kind of topic is really not friendly to the father-in-law in the palace, and cannot change the status quo, so Yaqi intends to avoid it a little bit, not to sprinkle salt in the other party's heart.

When he was about to find a topic, Yaqi suddenly saw that the color of the lips of the imperial concubine was not right.

And it's already July, Erniang was still wearing a thick spring dress, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Erniang these days?"

The imperial concubine paused, seeing her staring at her lips, she took the veil and dabbed it, and found that all the lip balm on it was wiped off by herself.

In fact, when Concubine Niu Hulu left, she felt something was wrong after working for a few days, but at that time, because Elder Brother Eleven was uncomfortable and there were such rumors in the palace, she didn't say a word.

If it is reported that she is ill again, the Crown Princess will inevitably be angered by the Emperor. The Imperial Concubine does not want to have an enmity with Yuqing Palace, nor does she want her son to be so comfortable with the Crown Prince now that she has created a rift because of herself.

Thinking of the same problem, I took care of myself according to the way I used to take care of it, and the result didn't continue to get worse.

At the same time, every time when the son and daughter-in-law came over, they painted exquisite makeup.

Who would have thought that he would be exposed if he just ate two extra mouthfuls today?

Therefore, the imperial concubine said a little unnaturally: "There is nothing uncomfortable. I eat the food sent by Zhen'er every day, and the honey water has never been broken. How can I feel uncomfortable?"

"No, Eunuch Su, call the imperial physician. Call a few more." Yaqi was still worried, and quickly ordered Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng took the order and hurried out.

Yaqi stepped forward to hold the imperial concubine's hand, turned to Nanny Lan and asked, "Has Er Niang been depressed or short of breath recently?" Heart disease patients must be controlled for a long time.

Sister Lan hurriedly said: "Yes, I woke up several times in the middle of the night."

The master's health is not very good. In the past two years, because he is in a good mood and has been taken care of by the fourth elder brother Si Fujin, he seems to be getting better, but in reality it is still very false.

The imperial concubine cast a reproachful look at Lanma, then looked at Yaqi and said seriously: "It's really nothing serious, it's just an old problem, just take a rest, Er Niang has been used to it for so many years."

The imperial physician came very quickly, and they basically knew the illness of the imperial concubine by heart, so they could diagnose the pulse and prescribe the medicine almost in one go.

But Ya Qi flipped through the book of the imperial concubine's pulse diagnosis, and found that she had been unwell for the past few months, and her heart skipped a beat.

Taking a deep breath, he blamed himself for neglecting to take care of the imperial concubine recently.

The imperial concubine was not feeling well, and Yinzhen also blamed herself when she learned about it. At this time, Yinzhen received the news that the fruit of the pinpo tree he planted on the Zhuangzi outside the palace was ripe.

So he shipped a batch in.

"This thing looks good, but it's easy to eat." Seeing this, Yinreng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

But the next moment, the smile on his face froze, because the imperial physician cut one during the examination, and a sweet smell hit his face in an instant.

Yinreng suddenly turned his head to look at Yinzhen, and said, "Fourth brother! Second brother likes to eat pears, would you like to grow some pears?"

What kind of fairy ability is this, what is planted is a good seed?The pears grown by the fourth brother must be more delicious, right?

"No!" Yinzhen turned his head and said bluntly, "I don't grow pears."

Li Tongdi, he doesn't like it.

Seeing this, Yinreng smiled wryly and said, "That Gu really has no luck."

"There is a lot of food in the world, and your fourth brother doesn't specialize in farming?" Kangxi glanced at him and said softly.

Yinfeng repeatedly said yes.Then he apologized to Yinzhen, he never had any idea of ​​forcing the fourth brother.

"It's okay, the second brother of the prince doesn't have to be like this, I believe in you." Yinzhen replied quickly.

After the imperial doctor tested the drug, he said that the pinpo fruit was non-toxic and tasted very good.

"It's an apple, I hope Erniang is safe and healthy." Yinzhen said suddenly.This name is very good, and Yinzhen likes it very much.

Kangxi patted his son on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Since you planted it, it should be called Ping An Fruit, also known as Guifei Fruit!"

……

"Khan Ama, it's really called an apple, and it's a Western seed." Yinzhen hesitated and explained.

The smile on Kangxi's face paused, is it Xiyang again?

If it weren't for Galdan's continuous troubles in the past few years, Kangxi found that Shi Lang, who he trusted more, had almost become emperor in Liuli Island, so he would have to work hard to study Western affairs.

The foundation of the Qing Dynasty was still shallow. Even though the vaccination incident won the hearts of the people, Kangxi still told himself to be patient and deal with things one by one.

The expression on Yinfeng's face was also paused. He picked up a clean apple and took a bite. The mouthful was sweet and crisp, and he liked the taste surprisingly.

In the past few years, because of the heavy lure, the merchant ships going out to sea have also sent back some useful news, but they still know too little about the outside world.

It was also because of this that he and Khan Ama did not stop the Ninth Brother's seemingly mischievous behavior.

Yinzhen replaced the apples he planted with the apples from the fairyland, and the tomatoes he planted with the tomatoes from the fairyland, and then sent them to Chengqian Palace.He hoped that both Erniang and Fujin would be fine.

Because Yaqi was worried about the imperial concubine, she lived in Chengqian Palace after requesting an order.After I took over the apples and tomatoes from Yinzhen every day, I changed them again and replaced them all with organic apples and tomatoes.

In addition to the small kitchen of Chengqian Palace, as long as she doesn't burn the fire, Yaqi can already cook some dishes that taste good, and try her best to let the imperial concubine eat them.

In the past few years in the palace, although at the beginning, the imperial concubine would obviously favor her son like other mothers-in-law, but as time went on, she became better and better to herself.

Not only for Yinzhen's sake, but also not only for the sake of being less involved with Concubine De, Yaqi sincerely hopes that Concubine Huang Guifei will get better, because she is worth it.

In fact, there is another reason for such unsparing efforts. Yaqi knows that she cannot stay in the palace forever. As she and Yinzhen grow up, there will not be so many opportunities to go out of the palace to take care of the imperial concubine in the future.

She hoped to take this opportunity to make her healthier, at least like a normal person.

The imperial concubine looked at her son and daughter-in-law who were unable to settle down because of her own old problems, especially the considerate care of the daughter-in-law, which was both heart-warming and self-blaming.
