lied to Kangxi

Chapter 493
Before dawn, Yuzhu arrived outside Xihua Gate in a sedan chair.

"Get off the sedan chair." Following Wu Jiang's order, the bearers got off the official sedan chair.

As the weather gradually turned cold, Yuzhu got out of the official sedan chair and walked towards the Xihua Gate with her hands behind her back.

"Great Lord Zhu." The guards in front of the door pretended to check their waist cards, and hurriedly saluted.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuzhu entered the palace majestically.

All the way unimpeded, Yuzhu came to the outside of the old emperor's bedroom.

The guards with knives, Zhaqian greeted Ann, but did not speak.

Yuzhu just waved his hand to signal the guards to get up, but didn't speak.

There is no small matter around the emperor, and if it can be solved without speaking, try not to speak.

When Wang Chaoqing saw Yu Zhu coming, he hurried in to report.

The old emperor was having breakfast, and when he heard that Yu Zhu was coming, he couldn't help cheering up, and said with a smile, "Tell him to come in."

"Your servant, Yuzhu, I respectfully greet Khan Ama." After Yuzhu saluted, he just got up, seeing that it was inconvenient for the old emperor to hold vegetables with his left hand, so he took the initiative to go over.

"Khan Ama, I will pick up the food for you, why don't you just use a spoon?" Yuzhu couldn't bear to see the old emperor struggling to pick up the food with his left hand.

The old emperor sighed and said: "The right hand is no longer useful, if you don't move your left hand much, it will be troublesome."

The old emperor had picked up the quail egg on the plate more than a dozen times, but he still couldn't get it off.

However, the more he couldn't catch it, the more the old emperor wanted to catch it.

Yuzhu couldn't help feeling sad for a while, alas, it was all caused by that chair.

In order to keep the supreme imperial power, the old emperor really had perseverance and perseverance.

"Slap." Due to uncoordinated fingers, the old emperor dropped a chopstick in his left hand.

Yuzhu hurriedly took the jade chopsticks from the eunuch serving food, and held them to the old emperor's hand with both hands.

The old emperor took the chopsticks, suddenly smiled, and said: "It is clearly remembered in the new Tang book that Tang Gaozu Li Yuan didn't need to pick up his own food."

Yuzhu's heart trembled violently, this is not a good word.

In his later years, Li Yuan was drunk and dreamed of death, often waking up crying in the middle of the night.

Alas, the good lord of the country died overnight of two sons, more than a dozen grandsons, lost the throne, and became a trembling emperor.

How could Kangxi, who is also the emperor, not know the torment in it?

No way, as long as you sit on that chair, there is no such thing as a normal retirement.

Even if Qianlong became the Supreme Emperor, he still used Heshen to control the power of the court and made Emperor Jiaqing a child emperor.

"what……"

Finally, I don't know if it was the 100th time or the 99th time, the old emperor picked up the quail egg tremblingly, laughing happily.

"Bada..." After all, the old emperor's left hand was weak, and the quail egg he picked up just now fell into the plate and bounced to the ground again.

"Zhu'er, can Ama Khan still eat?" Kangxi simply put down his chopsticks and looked at Yuzhu with a little complacency.

Anyway, at this moment, Yu Zhu was indeed moved with compassion.

"Khan Ama, I beg you to massage your right hand." Yuzhu didn't say any sweet words, but the old emperor showed an expression of surprise almost instantly, "Why? What folk prescription did you find that won't work?"

Yuzhu knew in his heart that the more stroke patients had hands and feet, the more frequent activities they needed.The more you don't use it, the more blood vessels and meridians will be completely blocked.

Because Yuzhu's father was hemiplegic caused by cerebral hemorrhage.

The imperial physicians of this era, apart from acupuncture, generally do not have particularly good recovery methods for stroke or hemiplegia.

The class of the emperor generally likes big fish and big meat, and overeating.

It is actually very common for emperors to die violently due to the rupture of vascular plaques.

Out of trust in Yuzhu and the old emperor who was eager to restore the function of his right hand, he simply withdrew his meal and let Yuzhu hold his right arm and right hand from top to bottom.

"Khan Ama, hold it hard, yes, hold it hard." Yu Zhu ordered Wang Chaoqing to bring a rolling pin, and asked the old emperor to use all his strength to hold it.

The old emperor really wanted to hold it tight, but beads of sweat were already visible on his forehead, and his slightly trembling right hand still couldn't exert any strength.

When the old emperor was tired, Yu Zhu squatted beside him and began to help him move his right hand, which was completely weak.

Starting from the thumb, it has been moving to the little finger, and then the little finger is moving to the thumb.

After kneading over and over again, Yuzhu's expression was so focused that he was already sweating on his forehead, but he still didn't know it.

The old emperor looked at Yuzhu who was working hard lovingly, without saying anything, he passed the big veil directly, and wiped the sweat beads on Yuzhu's forehead with his own hands.

The time for Yumen to listen to the government is approaching, Yuzhu stopped his movements, and carefully instructed Liu Jinzhong: "Find a dozen trustworthy godsons or godsons, no matter what Khan Ama is doing, you must always learn I look like this, rubbing my right hand repeatedly, understand?"

"Hey." This was indeed for the good of the old emperor, and Liu Jinzhong agreed without waiting for the old emperor to speak.

Modern cardiovascular and cerebrovascular rehabilitation is a very serious science.

As long as he moves his right hand persistently, even if he can't pick up vegetables, as long as he can hold a pen, Kangxi's trust in Yuzhu will definitely rise to a new height.

Everyone's recovery conditions are different.

The elders of ordinary people have had a stroke, how could someone help with rehabilitation activities all the time?
Kangxi is the supreme emperor in the world, and there are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, which are enough for him to order.

After boarding the Jianyu, Kangxi beckoned Yuzhu to his side, and ordered without doubt: "From now on, the right side of Jianyu will be your seat."

"Hey." Yuzhu quickly knelt down and thanked him.

"Get up!" With Zhao Chang's yell, the strong eunuchs raised their shoulders and walked towards Qianqing Gate.

In fact, it is only a short distance from Qianqing Palace to Qianqing Gate.

However, the majesty of the emperor must be guaranteed.

Yuzhu is no longer the Minister of the South Study Room, and the emperor does not ask him, so he is not qualified to take the initiative to intervene in state affairs.

Therefore, he just stood silently beside the old emperor, listening carefully to the speeches of the important ministers.

Kung fu is beyond poetry.

Don't look, you can only listen, not speak.If the old emperor asked suddenly, he couldn't say in embarrassment, I'm sorry I was distracted, didn't you hear clearly?

Most of the court affairs in the era of small peasant economy were related to silver.

In the final analysis, there are three major issues: how much tax is collected every year, how much money is fixed to be spent, and how much money is saved by the household department?

Since Yuzhu took charge of Chongwenmen, Kangxi basically had no shortage of money to spend.

However, if you want to repair the palace, you need to subsidize it with the tariffs levied by Dagukou.

The tariffs at Dagu Port are increasing every month.

Kangxi didn't quite understand the truth, but Yuzhu knew it well.

Dagukou Wharf is the only international trade port closest to the capital in the whole north.

Beijing, at that time, must have been the city with the most consumption power in the country.

Moreover, the popular dissemination of consumer goods must have started in the capital city and arrived in the northern counties a year later.

What is the best business to do these days?

Yuzhu smiled without saying a word, just looking at the extent of the outbreak of the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, he knew it.

However, unlike the Guangzhou Thirteen Banks, all the proceeds from the Dagukou Wharf are Kangxi's private money.

In terms of nature, this is not a central enterprise with clear property rights. What is a central enterprise?

Today, there are memorials to report disasters everywhere.However, the fourth child said that there was no money to spend in the third treasury of the household department.

Yuzhu is still the left servant of the household department, so he naturally understands that the fourth child is thinking about the emperor Nanku.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

The business at Dagukou Wharf is booming, flourishing day by day, making money every day, and the fourth son, who is tight on money, has long been jealous.

Kangxi is also an old man, how could he not know the little mind of the fourth child?
"Fourth, if you want to borrow money, yes, when will you pay it back?" Kangxi felt quite elated.

Before the Dagukou Wharf was built, even if the old emperor wanted to build a small palace, the Ministry of Household Affairs always said that he had no money.

Well now, there is plenty of money in the emperor's private treasury, and there is no need to touch the treasury bank of the user department.

Not only that, but the current household department is always under the guise of being short of money, thinking about emptying the old emperor's private treasury.

"Khan Ama, wait for the next year's tax to come up, and then slowly return it to you." The fourth child played a trick, deliberately not mentioning when to pay back the money, obviously trying to swallow the old emperor's private money.

"Yuzhu, you are the left servant of the household department. Tell me, you have done a lot of things that are broken in your promises. Can I still believe it?" How is my face today?

How should I put it, for thousands of years, the economic framework of the small peasant society has determined that living within one's expenditure and having a slight surplus must be the established policy of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

That's right, it's not what you say in your mouth that you live within your means, but live within your means.

In other words, as much money as the imperial court will spend this year, the provinces must work together to collect as much money as possible.

Local officials, including the governor, the most important assessment indicators are how much food and taxes they collect.

It's just that, before the eldest brother vigorously promoted the distribution of the land into the mu, the money and food collected by the court were actually decreasing day by day.

Because the officials and gentry do not pay grain and do not pay taxes.

The burden of self-cultivating farmers is too heavy, and they will inevitably find ways to put the land under the names of officials and gentry in order to reduce the burden of various exorbitant taxes.

This is the same as the household registration population counted at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, which is just the tax base controlled by the imperial court.

A large number of farmers and land are in the hands of tyrants everywhere, and the imperial court cannot receive a penny of money for hidden people and land.

Since the old emperor asked, Yuzhu naturally had to answer.

Yuzhu raised his face, smiled slightly, and said: "The household department's third treasury has temporary difficulties, and it is understandable that we dare not set a time for repaying the money. However, if the principal is not repaid for the time being, the interest will always be paid, right? Khan Ma, Chen'er thinks that it is better to temporarily set the interest rate at 5.00% per year, and the next time you borrow money, you must repay all the interest on the previous loan."

The old emperor thought about it carefully, and his eyes could not help but light up. His private house money was the Tang monk's meat.
Not knowing the future and not borrowing the money, this is Yuzhu's brilliant move.

To put it bluntly, it is just the reverse theory of national debt.

The fourth child wanted to fight the autumn wind, but was dumbfounded on the spot.

The old emperor couldn't help being very happy, and laughed in public: "Lack of money, find Yuzhu."
