Female Official In the East Palace - Chapter 204
Unable to bear his temper, he tentatively repaid a large sum of money.
Teach him to lose his head, and the wind of repaying money begins to flourish.
Most people repay the money, and a few people will be different. It is the same as the reason that many officials borrowed money from the national treasury when they are not short of money. But Kangxi can’t really accept everyone’s arrears.
For example, the Cao family and other families who have been picked up by the Southern Tour several times, such as the old officials in the Eight Banners, and some clansmen, such as Kangxi, an emperor, also persuade people to take back the money as if they were kind.
In October, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the ninth elder brother Yinzhen returned to Beijing. Before Kangxi once again visited the Yongding River embankment, millions of taels of silver were recovered from the treasury, which is almost equivalent to one large province. annual tax.
And suddenly there was such a huge sum of money in the national treasury, and there were also many people who were eyeing, and each ministry had a lot of money to use, so the papers came one after another, requesting funds from the DPRK.
Kangxi read the contents of the memorial and briefly summarized: “Do you want to change the Dingyin system and allocate funds to reclaim wasteland?”
“Yes.” The prince bowed and replied: “My son thinks that the prosperity of the world will surely make the people live in peace, but natural and man-made disasters have been common in many places over the past few years. It’s really unfair to have to pay a small amount of silver like a wealthy household.”
“However, the wealth of wealthy households has accumulated over many years, making them more friends may also lead to resentment. I think that I may reclaim wasteland in various places in the name of Huang Ama and rent it out. Planting seeds for the common people, collecting rent and silver, so as to open source.”
The huge cost of reclaiming wasteland in the early stage is inevitable, but when it is beneficial to the people, it can also be beneficial, which is a good way.
But the Ding Yin system, Kangxi frowned, “This system has been followed up to this day, and it has its own reasons. How can it be changed by the prince’s casual words?”
There are other adult elder brothers present, such as big elder brother Yinzhen, third elder elder brother Yinzhi, fourth elder elder brother Yinzhen and fifth elder elder brother Yinqi. Ma’s preference for the prince, at this time, when I heard the tone of Huang Ama’s words to the prince, my heart was full of thoughts.
The prince feels more intuitive, but he is used to it, even if he is sad, he still calmly said on the face: “Returning to the emperor Ama, the son thinks he has come up with a plan to benefit the people, but he is thinking about it. If it is not comprehensive, please correct me.”
Kangxi’s tone was a little slower, “You are young, it is common for you to be a little inept, but in the end you are worried about the people, and your heart is commendable.”
The prince bowed and said, “I don’t dare to do it”, but the third elder brother bowed his hand and said: “Emperor Ama, my son thinks that what the second elder brother of the prince said is very promising, or you can give it a try.”
As soon as the third elder brother finished speaking, the fourth elder brother also agreed. Then, except for the eldest elder brother, the rest of the princes hesitated and expressed their support.
The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother came to have a close relationship with the prince, but Kangxi did not expect that he did not know when the other princes were so convinced of the prince, which was extremely complicated for a time.
The eldest brother and the prince are separated, standing at the head of the princes, out of the corner of his eyes swept to the princes, ignoring Ding Yin, but raised objections on the issue of land reclamation. There are so many things that need to be solved urgently, and the cost is huge on this matter, which is putting the cart before the horse.”
The third elder brother immediately retorted: “Brother’s words are wrong, what is the basic and what is the end? The various ministries ask the emperor to approve the money, and it should also be for the benefit of the people and defend the rivers and mountains, otherwise it will be end.”
“The third child, Huang Ama has his own decision, just do what I do.”
Three elder brothers had some literati spirit, and when he heard him say this, he argued even more rationally: “Brother, as princes, you and I should not be like those mercenary corrupt officials. It is a matter of our own accord to make profit for the people.”
The big brother sneered disdainfully, “Sounds high.”
“Brother, you…”
Among the princes, only the eldest brother and the third brother are the princes of the county.
Only the prince persuaded at the right time: “The third, don’t be invisible in front of Huang Ama.”
The third brother kept his mouth angrily, turned around and asked Huang Ama for sin: “My son is disrespectful, please ask Huang Ama to forgive me.”
Kangxi’s face was calm, and his eyes passed over the princes. Although the rest of the princes were not obvious, most of them were standing on the side of the third prince…the prince, and the elder brother always had a proud look. .
You allocate money to your minister, and your minister guarantees that within three years, no, two years, the Qing army will be able to add forty heavy artillery.”
“There is no major war now, and the allocation of funds to the big brother is putting the cart before the horse.”
The elder brother glared at the third elder brother, and said in a plausible manner: “War preparation is to be prepared in case of emergency.
“In a peaceful and prosperous age, we should encourage people to farm.”
When the eldest brother and the third brother heard it, they immediately knelt down to admit their mistake, and the prince and other princes also bowed their heads respectfully.
After Kangxi stopped, he first looked at the elder brother, and said angrily: “Do you still want me to allocate money? Can I write you two more IOUs?”
“It’s not like Huang Ama has no money…”
“I have no money! How can the treasury be my private treasury?”
The eldest brother was obviously still not satisfied, so he reluctantly said: “Then write the IOU.”
That’s sarcasm! Can’t understand the sarcasm? !
Kangxi choked in one breath, but Jinkou Yuyan, he was inconvenient to go back on his words, and said angrily: “Write! Come on! Order the South Study to draw up the IOU!”
The eldest brother gave a big gift and said with joy: “Thank you, Emperor Ama, for allowing Erchen to hold firearms classes.”
The prince looked at Huang Ama in disbelief, as if he didn’t understand the direction of things.
, but the specifics still need to be discussed by the cabinet.”
The prince pulled a reluctant smile and said respectfully: “Yes, Huang Ama.”
“En.” Kangxi waved his hand lightly, “If there’s nothing else, just leave.”
The princes said in unison, “My son retire.”
After the prince saluted, he did not move, but said with a look of embarrassment: “Emperor Ama, there must be a definite number for this IOU…”
Kangxi also taught the elder brother to be angry, but he didn’t remember it for a while. At this time, when the prince mentioned it, he looked at the elder brother.
“Then one hundred thousand taels.”
The big brother looked regretful. If the prince didn’t mention it, then he didn’t write as much as he wanted.
Kangxi didn’t look at the big brother, didn’t think much, just nodded and said: “Yes.”
The eldest brother had a happy expression on his face, and the prince was expressionless.
When the princes left the palace and left the sight of Huang Ama, the third brother was the first to be dissatisfied with the eldest brother: “As far as the matter is concerned, why does the eldest brother involve the second brother of the prince?”
“What do you know?” The elder brother turned his eyes away in disgust and looked at the prince, “Anyway, the emperor Ama privately seals it, and the IOU will take effect.”
The prince’s expression at this time is not as ugly as when he was in the palace. He called “big brother”, and then cupped his hands: “Thank you big brother, I will take a step first.” Pat the big brother on the shoulder.
The two have never had such physical contact for many years, the elder brother frowned, feeling that he was inexplicable.
“The second brother of the crown prince is not angry?” The third elder brother admired, “The cultivation of qi is really good.”
The fourth elder brother shook his head helplessly, turned to the rest of the younger brothers and said, “Go back.”
The fifth elder brother, the sixth elder elder brother and the fourteen elder elder brother started, and said goodbye to the eldest elder brother and several elder brothers, and the other elder elder brothers followed, and the fifth elder elder brother walked a few steps and turned back to ask Jiu Ah Brother: “Yin Jin? You’re not leaving?”
Ninth Brother smiled and said, “I haven’t seen Erniang today, Fifth Brother, let’s go out of the palace first.”
The fifth elder brother heard the words and stopped, “I will go with you to visit E-niang.”
When the two were talking, the eldest brother had already taken a step, and the ninth brother hurriedly shouted: “Brother, wait a minute.”
Because of the age difference, most of the princes have a better relationship with the princes of similar age. There is not much brotherhood between the elder brother and the nine elder brothers. At this time, the nine elder brothers called The eldest brother lived, the third brother in front heard it, and immediately grabbed the fourth brother, “Don’t rush to go, just listen.”
The big brother also looked back at the nine elder brothers in confusion, not knowing what he was going to say.
Brother Jiu took a step forward, stopped in front of the elder brother, and said with a smile: “Brother, younger brother is a little more sensitive about money, so today’s affairs are really unpleasant in some places.”
The elder brother thought he was here to speak for the prince too.
“About this IOU…” Jiu’er looked uncomfortable and reminded: “The older brother exchanged heavy artillery for Huang Ama’s 100,000 taels of IOU certificate, but it was barter.”
“What do you want to say?”
With a look of “why don’t you understand”, Brother Jiu explained, “But this time, even though the eldest brother has an IOU, what is the use of firearms class?”
The eldest brother didn’t take it seriously at first, but then he realized that he had worked so hard, and he really cheated the prince, but he still had no money for firearms classes!
When the third brother heard the conversation between the two, he laughed loudly, and after a few laughs, the voice suddenly stopped, “Huang Ama is… the second brother of the prince is in debt for no reason. , this… this is also…”
Too poor…
The fourth elder brother sighed and pulled the third elder brother away.
Not only the prince, but also the elder brother, like he built a cannon before, he first took out a large sum of money, and then only had an IOU that would be exchanged at an unknown time.
The three elder brothers followed, sighing and shaking their heads, “They are all being smart…”
“You mean…” Brother Three’s eyes widened and he suddenly patted his forehead.
