lied to Kangxi

Chapter 529 My Blessed General
"To tell you the truth, the Hutusi Mountain Pass happened to be at the throat of the Junggar people. This mountain pass is in the hands of my Qing Dynasty, and I can drive straight into the hinterland of the Junggar people at any time. If this mountain is in the hands of the Junggar people , then our Qing Dynasty will never have a peaceful day.” Wang Xiangqing arched his hands towards the sky, and said very piously, “Fortunately, my Qing Dynasty sage came to the court, with a high foresight, insight into the crux of the problem, and decisively sent the famous general of the dynasty, General Yu, to recover This mountain pass will be determined by the Zhunbu sooner or later."

Kangxi was very comfortable being photographed, Longxin was very happy, the more he looked at Wang Xiangqing, the more pleasing he was.

It has to be admitted that Wang Xiangqing is very good at talking, and even Yu Zhu, who doesn't take flattery, was a little fuzzy in the photo.

Who doesn't like to hear words that are pleasant to the ear?

Kangxi felt relieved, and he simply talked wildly with Wang Xiangqing.

The old emperor's words were both inside and outside, and he was asking calmly, is today's world a once-in-a-lifetime prosperous age?

The ass decides the head.

Interests determine positions.

It was through the defeat of the Junggars by the Qing army that Wang Xiangqing got a good opportunity to make a fortune on the Mongolian prairie, and made a lot of money. Naturally, he spoke well of Kangxi.

Besides, today's Wang Xiangqing has a big family and a big career, how dare he ignore the nonsense that keeps his mouth shut?

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a warning order, all businessmen above the middle level went bankrupt.

Over the ages, merchants have been forced to develop the good habit of making a fortune without daring to publicly criticize the government.

As long as the court is short of money to spend, it will instruct scholars to openly scold businessmen.

Merchants, in fact, just have a few bad money.Leaving the asylum of officials, what kind of fart are they?
Duke Zuo Wenxiang didn't care about it, and Hu Xueyan was crushed by Sheng Xuanhuai.

Yuan Shikai replaced Li Hongzhang, and Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't do it.

No matter how powerful a big businessman is, if he doesn't have the support of a powerful person, he will be a delicacy on the lips of others.

In the Qing Dynasty, including the top salt merchants, who was not afraid of the government turning their faces and denying people?

The officials were a little frightened, and the merchants became timid, so they obediently donated food and money, and so on.

Wang Xiangqing belongs to those with vested interests, so he naturally wanted to speak well of Kangxi.

Kangxi was very interested, and even wanted to take Wang Xiangqing to have dinner together.

Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive meal for the emperor, the most important part is to test the poison.

As long as someone tests the poison, Wang Xiangqing will be able to guess the truth.

Yu Zhu coughed lightly, and reminded in a low voice, "You have already made an appointment with Li Qing tonight."

"Then make an appointment at another day." Kangxi felt a little regretful, but he couldn't help but leave, so he led Yu Zhu back to his heart's content.

After boarding the carriage, Kangxi raised his eyes to look at Yuzhu, and suddenly said without thinking: "You are not only my lucky general, but also my broom star."

Yuzhu understood the entanglement of the old emperor's interest being interrupted midway, but the emperor's meal was a big deal, in case of diarrhea or something, even Yuzhu couldn't bear the huge responsibility.

After sending the old emperor back to the palace, Yu Zhu turned around and wanted to leave, but the old emperor forced him to stay.

There is no way, with Yuzhu accompanying him to eat, the old emperor's appetite is much better.

After dinner, he played three games of chess with the old emperor, and Yuzhu was released from the palace.

Niu Tai also serves as the acquaintance of the Rehe Hall, that is, the largest parent official in Rehe.

However, where did Niu Tai manage the government of the common people?
After thinking about it, Yuzhu temporarily sent Zhou Quan to Niu Tai's side to help form the team of Tongzhi Yamen.

Unlike the county and government offices, the Tongzhi Yamen does not have assistant officials, but only servants.

That is to say, Niu Tai had the final say in the Tongzhi yamen of the Rehe Hall, without any other officials holding back.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the yamen at all levels only limited the number of officials, and there were no hard and fast rules for subordinate officials and white servants.

The staff in the yamen will increase or decrease at will according to Niu Tai's needs.

一般情况下的同知衙门，设有典史5-10名、书办十几名、库子4名、狱卒8名、皂隶16名、门子2名、快手（也称“皂快”）8名、灯夫2名、轿伞夫7名、仓夫和斗级各4名、民壮50至100名。

"Mr. Zhu, what do I know? I'll follow your orders." Niu Tai is also a bachelor, and Zhou Quan knows everything he doesn't understand.

Zhou Quan closed his folding fan and asked Niu Tai with a smile, "Are you really listening to me?"

"That's natural, I don't listen to you, who is it to listen to?" Yuzhu said, Niu Tai naturally wants to listen to Zhou Quan.

"Don't you hear that if you want to get rich, you need to move the subordinate staff? Sir Niu, you are new here, you just need to tell the outside world that the position of the subordinate staff is to be determined. Well, this rumor has been released, my Master Niu, you will definitely be able to make a fortune." Big fortune." Zhou Quan had a smile on his face, but what he said was not a joke, but a serious matter.

Niu Tai repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Mr. Zhu, please don't hurt me. I can't spend all the money my master rewards me in my life, and if I want to collect shady money secretly, wouldn't it be a death sentence?"

Well, very good, if you don't make money, you obviously didn't dare to take Yu Zhu's words as a deaf ear.

Satisfied, Zhou Quan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm here. As long as they dare to give it away, you can just accept it, as much as you have. Turn around and hand it over to Dong Weng."

Yuzhu was sitting in the imperial dining room, drinking tea while watching the chef making "gold and silver steamed buns".

The "gold and silver steamed bun" he invented has a thick base that is crispy and soft, making it extra refreshing to eat.

Anyone who has eaten pot sticker dumplings knows that the fresher the meat in the dumpling and the crispier the shell of the dumpling is, the longer the line to buy will be.

While the chef was working hard to roll the noodles, he flattered Yuzhu.

"Master Zhu, you have taught the villain all your unique skills. Hey, if the villain goes out of the palace, with this unique skill alone, he can live in a mansion and have a beautiful concubine."

Yuzhu couldn't help but smiled slightly, this chef is really an expert, he was right.

These days, the craftsmanship mastered by a craftsman is the livelihood of the whole family, and it is never easy to show others, let alone pass it on to others.

The apprentices accepted by many craftsmen are contract workers, who only take care of their food and have no wages.

As for whether to learn the craft or not, it depends on whether the apprentice has won the favor of the craftsman.

If the craftsman does not teach, the apprentices can only rely on their talent to steal the teacher.

In the Water Margin, Wu Dalang who became the butt of jokes is actually an authentic senior craftsman.

Relying on selling cooking cakes in the county town, Wu Dalang can afford to rent a two-story building and pay for Pan Jinlian's daily expenses.

In the final analysis, Yu Zhu and Yu Chu are fellow travelers, and they all serve the old emperor.

Yuzhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If you are smarter, my master can teach you many skills, and I guarantee you can get ten beautiful concubines."

"Oh, thank you so much, Lord Zhu. If you didn't look down on the villain, the villain would really want to worship you as a godfather." The chef's mouth was so sweet that it was like honey water.

While chatting, Zhang Hongxu ran over in a panic, panting heavily, and said, "Master Zhu, Master Zhu, something is wrong, Lord Longyan is furious and wants to kill Ma Qi."

But Yu Zhu sat as firmly as Mount Tai, as if he didn't hear it.

The old emperor wants to kill Ma Qi, so it's none of his business?

Yu Zhu has always been very precise about his own role positioning. He is a favorite minister, not a prime minister.

Since he is not the prime minister, why should he be so lenient?
The old emperor can kill whoever he wants, as long as he doesn't kill the Tong family.

Besides, when Ma Qi was negotiating with the Raksha people, he actually betrayed the fundamental interests of the Qing Dynasty, shouldn't he be killed?
Seeing that Yu Zhu was too lazy to mind his own business, Zhang Hongxu didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to leave in a hurry.

After dinner, when playing chess with the old emperor, the old emperor suddenly asked Yuzhu: "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill Ma Qi?"

Yu Zhu shook his folding fan lightly, and said calmly: "You are a holy king, it is impossible to kill someone rashly. If I come to persuade you, won't I regard you as a foolish king?"

After Kangxi heard this nonsense, he actually felt that it was quite reasonable.

"What do you think of Da Shengkui's business gang?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu again.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that Kangxi actually cared about business in his heart.

If it weren't for the old emperor's lack of money to enjoy himself, the international trade at Dagukou Wharf would definitely not be able to continue.

"Old man, I really feel that it is enough to let nature take its course, and there is no need to help them at all." Yuzhu said from the bottom of his heart.

A big business like Da Shengkui, which started as a grassroots hawker, is actually the more the better, and Yuzhu will need it in the future.

Officials these days can only do monopoly business. How many of them really know how to compete in business?
Not to mention anything else, Jiangnan No. [-] Weaving Bureau alone is an absolutely monopolized business, but it suffers huge losses every year.

To make money by doing business, Yuzhu belongs to the level of a master in the eyes of the old emperor.

Since Yu Zhu said that Da Shengkui was not to be ignored, the old emperor let it go.

After the old emperor won three games in a row, he smiled softly and said, "Zhuer, your chess skills have improved a lot. However, you are still a bit inferior in the end."

This is a typical example of getting cheap and being good.

Yuzhu has long been used to it, and it is not surprising.

"Old man, you taught me everything." Yu Zhu could only say so.

The old emperor squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "You've done a good job, so you shouldn't mind your own business. Someone, drag the talkative Zhang Hongxu out, beat him thirty times, and make him sober. Who is his master?"

"Whoo."

The guards dragged Zhang Hongxu down.

Zhang Hongxu didn't dare to call for help.He knew better than anyone else that he didn't call for help, but only received [-] boards.

But if you openly call for help, you should lose your head.

It is impossible for Yuzhu to speak for Zhang Hongxu.

The important minister who held the military power colluded with the emperor's confidant eunuch, what did he want to do?

The old emperor was very satisfied with Yuzhu's non-provoking, he said with a smile: "Kneel down, go back and hug my concubine early."

Yu Zhu giggled and said, "Old man, you know me!"

When Yuzhu backed out, he saw Zhang Hongxu was tied to a long bench with a veil stuffed in his mouth and a big board on his buttocks.

Only after being spanked on the butt will you have a long memory!

If you preach with your mouth, you will definitely not be able to teach.
