Fortune Orb [Qing]

Kangxi was so busy that he couldn't bear it if it didn't rain again.It is also a natural disaster. Drought is more tormenting than flood than earthquake. At least the flood comes and goes quickly, and the earthquake is only a few bumps. If there is no rain, the people will have no harvest. Grain merchants will definitely take advantage of this opportunity. If the country is in dire straits, even if they are dealt with, how long will the old grains that have been handed in be eaten?It's okay to eat two bites less food, but what should I do if I don't have water to drink?

In fact, the palace has already started to deal with the drought. The Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a water restriction order under the order of Kangxi. According to different grades, the nobles in the palace can get a certain amount of clean water every day, and they can wash and bath here. Give more extra, let the empresses of the palace count.

The women in the inner courtyard of the deep palace are thinking about how to win the king's heart, and how to have a prince by his side. Seeking profit for her mother's family is only accidental. As for the world's major events, what has it to do with them?

Baozhu can still hear something from Yintang. They didn't realize that it hadn't rained for a long time until the water restriction came down, and they didn't think about how serious it was. After a few days of lukewarm days, it's just like this.

After it got hot, I felt a bad smell on my body if I didn't take a bath for a day. The little water was not enough for them at all.Many people complained in private, because thinking that the water restriction order must be implemented with the approval of the emperor, not many dared to speak out.There are so many concubines in the East and West Six Palaces, there are always a few whose brains are not fully developed. When they heard that they were overturned the green card, they yelled that the water was not enough, and asked the servants to bring two more buckets. The wells in the palace were almost dry. If you want water, you have to get it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs refuses to provide it. Several empresses clamored to ask the emperor to judge, saying that the Ministry of Internal Affairs considered them to be low-status and deliberately embarrassed them.

This trouble made him fall out of favor. Kangxi pointed at her and gave her a lesson, saying that the four concubines are enough, but you are not enough. You are inlaid with gold and jade from head to toe?What does being poor pay attention to?

……

At this point, the concubine realized how severe the drought was this year. Although she thought that saving some money would make her a good sale in front of the emperor, no matter how careful she was, they would at least not exceed it.

How many times do you say less bathing?

It's easy to say, if you don't wash it for three to five days, aren't you afraid of being flopped?

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the water consumption in the palace has been reduced a lot, but saving water is not the root cause, the problem can only be solved by opening up sources of income.Kangxi was worrying about this matter, so he heard that Yinzhen asked to see him. Considering that Yinzhen made troubles every time he entered the palace, Kangxi didn't want to see him at first. Submit the memorial, and leave as soon as you have nothing to do.

Yinzhen felt that he probably knew what happened to his father-in-law every time he entered the palace, and he was definitely not much better than himself.

If it's a trivial matter, it's okay to talk about it later, think about what he wants to report, if he really leaves like this, Huang Ama will have to cut him later.Thinking of this, Yinzhen's face was heavy, he asked Liang Jiugong to come closer, and said in a low voice: "It's really urgent, it's urgent."

Liang Jiugong hesitated a little, but Yinzhen urged again: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and send a message to Ben Baylor."

Let's go, let's go, because of the urgency, Liang Jiugong made another trip.He told Kangxi exactly what he said, and added that Jiu Beile didn't look like he was joking.

Kangxi thought that although Yinzhen was an idler, at least there were times when he found out with conscience.For example, the improvement of chariots, and the matter of grass glue, he has made outstanding contributions.Perhaps there was something really important, thinking so, he nodded slightly, and Xuan Yinzhen entered the hall.

After Yinzhen came in, he was thrown into the ground, and he performed a great gift firmly, and then he opened his mouth bitterly: "There is something that my son has kept in his heart for a long time, and he dare not say it outside. Gong Lai, I want to ask Huang Ama for advice."

Kangxi was furious at seeing him so hopeless, he frowned and asked Yinzhen to stand up, stand firm and speak slowly.

Yinzhen stood up, but he didn't speak, instead he glanced at the servants in the hall.

Seeing that he really seemed to be hiding a secret, Kangxi took a look at Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong personally took him out and guarded him outside. Only his father and son were left in the hall. Only then did Yinzhen get down to business.

"My son came to the palace today because of the drought."

Speaking of this, Kangxi couldn't help being irritable. He came in and summoned the courtiers to discuss matters in the South Study Room every day. They discussed how to fight the drought.

The remnants of the previous dynasty have not been cleaned up, and if they continue to dry up, they are determined to use this as a raft to stir up people's hearts. This kind of power is not too big, and seeing him jumping up and down is annoying.

Hearing that Yinzhen wanted to talk about this matter, Kangxi had some expectations in his heart, hoping that he could give one or two reliable suggestions, but he also felt that it was probably just a bunch of empty words, the fundamental problem could not be solved, and everything he did was nothing but trivial troubles.

Even though he had typed out the manuscript several times, Yinzhen was still a little nervous standing here. He put his left hand behind his back, shook it, and then said: "Since the drought hit, my son hasn't had a good night's sleep. The matter should have been told to Huang Ama long ago, but it has been delayed until today due to various reasons."

Many thoughts flashed through Kangxi's mind, but he didn't make a sound when he looked at it, he just said: "A dignified man, why are you being coy? Tell me what you have to say."

Yinzhen didn't point out directly, but asked instead: "I heard that nine out of ten wells in Beijing have dried up, even if they haven't dried up, they almost want to bottom out, is there such a thing?"

Although it was good news but not bad news to the outside world, there was nothing to hide in front of his own son, Kangxi nodded: "It is true."

After receiving this accurate sentence, Yinzhen just wanted to cry——

"My God! You really think highly of me!"

After he finished howling, he explained aggrievedly: "Recently, civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are talking about the drought, and my son only thinks they are making a fuss. I heard them say that the land is cracked and people are dying of thirst. I am still worried that Huang Ama will be killed. Deceived! There is not a little water in the lake in my house, and the well is also fine, do you think they are fooling around?"

Kangxi's heart was about to jump out of his throat, he couldn't believe his ears, he stood up vigorously holding the court case, and hurriedly asked: "Your house is as usual, are you serious?"

"Really, why isn't it true? My son felt that something was wrong, so he asked Fujin to pretend to be sick, and then went to another house to see him. Then he was convinced that the situation in my house was not normal. He wanted to go to the palace immediately and tell Huang Ama to know, so he listened. Seeing those rumors that are not good for the prince's second brother. The son thought this is also an opportunity to see what kind of moths those plotters will have. He hid it again, and he hid it until today..."

To be honest, even if he understands his good intentions, Kangxi can't wait to slap him in the face.

You idiot, do you know the priorities?

It doesn't matter if those people with evil intentions clean up later, can he escape?

Reassuring the people to solve the drought is the top priority right now.

According to what he said, if you don't report something that you believed in half a month ago, it's just reported today.Kangxi almost exploded on the spot, he quickly comforted himself and said it was a good thing, although he knew it too late, if it was true as Lao Jiu said, it would be a great thing, it can be said that it was the best news in the past month.

The father and son thought it over together, and that night, Kangxi quietly went to Jiubeile Mansion and saw the lake with his own eyes, so he was completely relieved.

Right now, the wells in every household are dry, and it is obviously abnormal in Yinzhen's house.

Kangxi remembered what he had pondered some time ago.

It is said that the old Jiufu Jin is very lucky. I am afraid there is some origin. He does not believe it. He thinks that it is a coincidence that the princess concubine and Ta Lashi are very likely to be pregnant. It is the blessings and blessings of the heavens.

Just thinking about it, how long it took, it really came true.

God is determined to prove it to him?Prove that this girl, Musca, is really extraordinary?

Kangxi asked Yinzhen what he meant, and asked him whether he wanted to get ahead or not. Yinzhen bluntly said that he was worried that there would be no water in the palace, so he told the story. He didn't have great ambitions, let alone be pushed to the forefront.

Kangxi has already made plans, and asking this question is just to find out about him.

The result is very satisfying.

Although Lao Jiu is annoying, he is a good person.

Yinzhen thought that after this incident was revealed, the eunuchs in the palace would come to fetch water every day, so he was worried... But Kangxi said that when he returned, he would ask Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day and prepare to sacrifice to heaven.

Yinzhen didn't think of this at first, but after hearing this, she figured it out.Baozhu didn't show up, so she was allowed to mix in the crowd, and all elder brothers went with Fujin to cover her, to see if she could pray for rain.If it is the best, it will immediately quell public grievances and solve all problems without exposing the situation in his own house.

Naive as it may be, this is the best solution for the time being.The drought is fierce, and it is only natural to pray for rain.

Baozhu never thought that she had this ability at all. It should be said that she never felt that she was special. Taking the situation of her family as an example, she also lamented that this was a blessing she cultivated in her previous life. .

Yinzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Jitian didn't tell the truth, only told Baozhu that there was such a thing, and asked her to get ready.Not for other reasons, Yinzhen felt that Baozhu should not be pressured, this kind of thing, knowing that it would only increase troubles.The natural disaster was not brought by her, and it would be best if it could be resolved easily. If she didn't ask for rain, she wouldn't be blamed.

Baozhu was still puzzled: "Jitian brought Fujin with him?"

Yinzhen spread her hands: "Huang Ama told me so, you can prepare to recover from your illness, dear."

Since this is the case, that's fine.

She thought about it later and thought it made sense.Extraordinary times are extraordinary means, with more people and louder voices, it is easier for all gods to hear and appear sincere.
