Fortune Orb [Qing]

The prince was in a trance for half a month, and he still can't believe that what he heard that day was true. Could it be that he was still in a dream without waking up?Huang Ama said that he wanted to give him the Zen seat?Even given a deadline?

Looking at his stupid look, he knew that he was greatly stimulated. Kangxi didn't want to say anything at first, but Xindao's second son thought it was unbelievable. No one would have thought of it.Only sons have ever wanted to force Lao Tzu to abdicate, but I have never heard of fathers anxiously wanting to be the Supreme Emperor!What a considerate and good father!

Kangxi praised himself fiercely in his heart, and then beat the prince to stop him from sleepwalking all day long.This winter, the entire north of the Yellow River has been hit by snowstorms. Since we have time to think wildly, it is better to do something for the court and try to deal with the disaster that may last for several months.

It's only mid-November now, and normally the beginning of spring is two months away, counting in two months, how many people will freeze to death according to the current situation?

Yinfeng followed with a jolt, indeed, now is not the time to think about other things, the goose feather and heavy snow are coming fiercely, and it lasts for several days, as if preparing to fall endlessly in one breath, in such a hellish weather, even they are wearing cotton jackets Those who wear a large coat feel cold, and there are folks who only wear single clothes or jackets for the winter, and even more people have worn jackets for many years, and the cotton inside is all clumped, and they are not warm at all... From this point of view, how many people can safely survive this winter?

In this kind of climate, even if you don't lose your life, there will be seventy-eight out of ten frostbite. How can the court reduce this ratio?

The drought and epidemics in the first year were not so bad. It would be easy to die if it was frozen. Not to mention, the capital is already in the sky, and they are all pointing at the imperial court to issue cotton and charcoal?

Cotton and charcoal are not like food. Even if the imperial court has reserves for these two things, the amount is not that large. Besides, most of their reserves are high-quality goods for the nobles. How can they be used for disaster relief?Instead, the yamen issued a document, at most doubling the price of goods, ransacking the house if doubled, exiled if tripled, beheaded if more than tripled... This move slightly eased the sharp contradiction, even if the merchants who open shops and sell charcoal are targeting If the maximum limit is doubled, the common people can barely accept such a price.

It is not uncommon for snow disasters to occur in the north, but it is rare if it is severe enough.After returning to the mansion, Yinzhen said that he had some spare money in his hand, but he didn't dare to start giving charcoal. Where are you going?

If you give it to him for nothing, he will only say that your money came from the fish and meat people, and you were born in a noble family, so it is only natural for a dignified elder brother to be sympathetic to the people.

If you don't think it's enough, you can't wait to rush in and steal your house!

Yinzhen was cowardly, he didn't dare to be such an early bird, and he didn't dare let people know that the family had a lot of reserves.

Hearing what he said, Baozhu felt that he still wanted to do something for the court, and didn't dare to open the door to give charcoal directly. There are other ways, or start donating money to the Ministry of Household Affairs?

"If the snow disaster only happened to the north of the Yellow River, I can donate money to the household department so that the household department can buy charcoal from the south and send it to the major cities and towns in the north for disaster relief." Buying high-priced goods and selling them out of the people’s distress, if you don’t ask dignitaries and rich households in Beijing to donate money, although the charcoal you buy back is not enough to solve the problem fundamentally, it can always save some people. As for other measures, you have to take care of people’s livelihood Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs came to draft, and if we work together, no matter how difficult the difficulties we encounter, we can always overcome them.

Baozhu raised her mouth briefly, and Yinzhen thought about it, but the prince or the fourth brother had to come forward to raise money, and he was here to actively support it.

Yinzhen doesn't care about money very much. Taotie Mansion has been open for several years, and he is the least short of money, thanks to Taotie Mansion's blessing. He knows the situation of each house and house better than anyone else, who is really rich and squanders, and who is gnashing his teeth Being fat, he has a clear mind.

Yinzhen originally wanted to break up with the prince, but he was afraid that the prince would not be ashamed to do such an offending thing, so he said hello to Baozhu, put on a sheepskin coat and went to the next door.

Sibeile was at the mansion, he was discussing with his staff when he heard Su Peisheng report that Jiubeile asked to see him.Yinzhen waved his staff to retreat, and went to the front yard to greet Yinzhen in person.In normal times, Lao Jiu definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy this treatment, but now it's different from the past, Yinzhen thought that he usually has a lot of tricks, maybe there is a way, in the past two years, many times in trouble, it was inspired by Yinzhen to open up the situation of.

His rare trust paid off. Yinzhen first mentioned the matter of raising money for charity. Seeing that the fourth brother didn't say anything, he followed up and broke the fortunes of each family.

"It's not easy for me to come forward. Fourth brother, you are in the household department. It's just right for you to propose. I promise to be the first to respond. There should be many people following up, and some people will cry poorly. Raising money must be voluntary. If he doesn't want to and we don't force him, you just say that if the court owes him, you can ask for an IOU, get the money first, I really don't believe they have the ability to make Huang Ama pay back the money!"

Yinzhen said he was happy and slapped the table:

"If he dares to say that, I will talk to my father-in-law when I turn around. I will impeach him first, and then let Ma Wu take people to raid the house!"

"There's an old saying that an arm can't twist a thigh, so let's see who can twist the other!"

Seeing Yinzhen fell into a long and long silence, Yinzhen leaned closer to encourage him, "It's a very difficult time right now. If you don't use hooligan methods, how many people will die this winter. Fourth brother, think clearly, and prepare for it as soon as possible." You can buy life-saving charcoal one day earlier by donating money! What is this little money you raised from rich people? It is more important than tens of millions of people north of the Yellow River?"

Yin Zhen really moved him.

That's right!

Even if he has to bear the infamy, he will not hesitate, people are the foundation of a country, and the snow disaster does not know how long it will last, as the head of the household department, he must save as many people as possible.

First raise money to buy charcoal in the south, and if it doesn't work, force charcoal to be collected from the south!

It's not that the imperial court is stingy. In the past few catastrophes, which time did the imperial court fail to allocate money and rice?The treasury is going to be emptied!The officials of the household department are embarrassed!

Yintang's method is shameless, but it is to save lives!

Yinzhen nodded and said that he had to think about how to operate it, and he had to communicate with the prince, so he would not stay with Yinzhen. After this matter was resolved, he would invite Yinzhen to drink and thank him for his advice.

"Fourth brother, if you say that, you will be out of touch. I am dispatched by the Ministry of Industry, but I am also a dignified prince! The current national crisis, can you not worry?"

He said with emotion: "Whenever there are natural disasters, officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs can't sleep at night, and our Ministry of Industry is not much better. It is tiring enough to repair the house. There are also large and small projects. Now the starling is also worried. .”

After Lao Jiu finished speaking, he got up to leave, and Lao Si watched him go away, then turned and went back to the study, thinking as he walked: What is Lao Ba worried about?He wished he could do this a few more times in order to earn word of mouth and reputation.

Every time like this is when you watch the performances of the princes, Lao Jiu is really upright, the other brothers don't give him any advice, if you have any ideas, you can directly talk to Huang Ama, there is no way to take advantage of him.

Therefore, Huang Ama has always valued Yinzhen very much. He has a heart, but he seldom speaks to his family and is sincere.

This kind of thought was just a flash, he was really busy right now, and he didn't have time to think about what the brother next to him was doing.Yinzhen didn't sleep all night. He perfected Yinzhen's proposal to make it more operable. Before he went to court, he went to see the prince. To raise money for disaster relief, just like what was promised the night before, Yinzhen responded immediately and offered to donate 10 taels of silver.

He stood up, and the old ten also donated a sum, which came from the settling allowance allocated to him by Kangxi.

Followed by Fucha's family and Guo Luoluo's family.

The prince also stood up and said a few words, and the princess's family followed suit.

One with the other, the final figure is more than what Yinzhen estimated, especially those upright officials who have nothing in their pockets. They are shy and don't hesitate at all.

More and more people stood up, even if you don't want to, you can't hold back your face. In the end, all the civil and military officials in the court expressed their opinions. Yinzhen was slightly relieved, and Kangxi rarely showed a smile.

As for the prince, he is also very relieved, there is a saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish... There are very few people who can feel their conscience and say that they are absolutely clean, and everyone else is greedy.It’s okay for you to be greedy for a little money, and it’s not a big deal to accept a little bribe. You can’t be vague when it’s time for you to pay, otherwise you will be sorry no matter how many dynasties you have.

In the past, he still put his thinking on the position of the crown prince. After Huang Ama firmly stated that he would abdicate in 42 years, Yinfeng has a more sense of mission to the Qing Dynasty, and the burden on him is also heavy.Certain behaviors of certain officials looked inappropriate before, but now they are becoming more and more unbearable, and sooner or later he has to be dealt with.

Because a large amount of money was raised for disaster relief, the atmosphere in the DPRK and China improved slightly, and Yinzhen was able to stay with Baozhu through the winter with peace of mind.However, he hadn't felt relieved for a few days when news came from the palace that Mrs. Ligui was pregnant for nearly two months.

Kangxi really has no shortage of princes at this age. After everyone heard about it, they just sighed, the girl from the Fucha family can really give birth!

They guessed that Lady Ligui's child was likely to be a prince, and many people envied her. Even if the prince is no longer worth much, giving birth to a future life would be more secure. After hundreds of years, the new emperor will succeed to the throne. Well, concubines and concubines who have a son under their knees can ask for grace to go out of the palace with their son.

Ever since she was pregnant with this child, Ligui wanted to see her mother-in-law more and more urgently, because what she had done made her mother's family feel cold, and Ma Qi didn't leave her any way to deliver the letter back. Entering the palace, basically broke with her natal family.

Lady Ligui also regretted it, she now hoped to pay some kind words after the meeting, so that Erniang would change her mind, but she couldn't see anyone, all she could think of was Jiufu Jin's cousin Baozhu.

Then one day, when Kangxi went to her, he saw that she was about to cry, and asked her why she had been wronged, and said that there was no one in the palace who could talk to her.

If this man loves you, he should take the initiative to think of ways to make you happy. Obviously, Kangxi just asked casually, can he love one by one with so many concubines in the harem?So, Kangxi just listened to her, and when she saw her coming with full of expectation, he just told Liang Jiugong to find a eloquent eunuch to come and tell her a story to amuse her.

In desperation, Lady Li had no choice but to tell the truth, she said that she hadn't seen Jiufu Jin for a long time.

I didn't want to, but Kangxi got a suspicious expression, as if to say: Everyone knows that Yinzhen Fujin is afraid of the cold, and she doesn't go out when it's winter. Bone charcoal, you cousin don't know about it?

Lady Ligui was pregnant, and the emperor didn't say anything serious, but suddenly "remembered" that there were still government affairs to be dealt with, so he got up and left.Before he left, he still cared about her, so that she could have a good life and give birth to a big fat boy in the coming year.

When Kangxi went out, he met a concubine who came to visit him. The other party was dressed up and said that he was here to congratulate the nobleman. Everyone knew exactly what was on his mind.

It was obvious that she was here to intercept someone, but after all her calculations, Fucha Yushu could force him away first.

That's amazing my lord!

Because I met Kangxi face-to-face at the door, even if I knew that I ran away for nothing this time, I still had to act and do a full set. Chang Zai, who was also selected into the palace this year, chatted with Yushu, first of all, he felt that the emperor really cared about the noble lady. , and talking about the Yonghe Palace, he said that fortunately they didn't go to that end, and the low-ranking concubines who lived in the side hall couldn't live anymore.

I heard that Empress Wupin had scratched her face with blood stubbles, she insisted on going to the hospital to take ointment to treat her face, and also asked her to do her best to make her return to her pre-injury appearance.

Her so-called pre-injury naturally refers to two years ago, when all the imperial physicians were almost not crazy, they knelt down in a row and shouted that Shuchen couldn't do it!

Yushu was unhappy because she tried to find the orb again and again, but she couldn't see anyone. Coupled with Kangxi's attitude, she was even more angry, and her blood was surging violently.Seeing this guy with a vixen's face coming to intercept someone, she wished she could tear him apart, and then heard that Wu Bin had scratched her own face with a knife, and it was covered in blood... She was startled and fell to the ground before she could sit still .

Then there was a cramping pain in her stomach, and she felt something leaking from between her legs.
