Qing Chuan's favorite concubine side Fujin

Chapter 65 Setting the Price
After the reception banquet, Yinzhen rested in Xinya Pavilion. The women in the backyard would inevitably express their dissatisfaction by deliberately ostracizing Wanyuan when greeting her the next day.

It was still dark in the morning, so Yinzhen woke up early.And Wanyuan also had to wake up early to serve Yinzhen while he was dressing and having breakfast.

Yinzhen stood next to the clothes rack, opened his hands and let Wanyuan help him change clothes.

While Wan Yuan was busy with her hands, she said, "Master, Yuan'er asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I will have breakfast later and then go to the morning court."

Yinzhen nodded in response. In fact, he had adapted to having breakfast and going to the morning court. This was all due to Wanyuan.

After Yinzhen changed his clothes, he began to enjoy breakfast, while Wanyuan was waiting on him.

"After I leave, you can sleep a little longer. It's still early. There's no rush to go to the main courtyard to pay my respects."

"Yuan'er understands." No need for Yinzhen to say, Wanyuan would do the same, after all, she was still very sleepy.

After Yinzhen was seven-tenths full, he left Xinyaxuan and went to the morning court.After Wan Yuan saw Yi Zhen out, she went back to her room to sleep for a while.

Today, Guarjia's Ruixiang came to the morning court. When Yinzhen saw Ruixiang, he wanted to chat for a few words, but then Kangxi appeared.

Everyone began to bow down to salute and say hello, and began to attend the morning court.

"A few days ago, the price of food in the south of the Yangtze River increased. I sent Laosi and Guarjia's Ruixiang to check it out. However, the truth of the matter made me very dissatisfied!" Kangxi said in a more serious tone, and the emperor's anger made him angry. The people below were terrified.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Kangxi looked at the kneeling people below and deliberately pondered for a while without speaking.

"Grain prices are related to people's livelihood. Since someone dares to touch the court's bottom line, there is no need to show mercy, Prince!"

Hearing the emperor calling him, the prince immediately stood up and walked out. "My son is here."

"You will be solely responsible for this matter."

The corners of the prince's mouth raised, and he leaned down to salute: "My lord, I obey your order."

Kangxi waved his hand and signaled the prince to retreat.Then he mentioned Zhuo Hong, "the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"I'm here." Guarjia's Zhui Hong stood up and took a few steps forward.

"You are the Minister of Household Affairs and are in charge of the imperial government's finances. What is your opinion on this matter?"

Faced with Kangxi's questions, Zhuo Hong didn't feel nervous at all. "Back to the emperor, I believe that the court should set a stable price for all grains and use this price as a standard to maintain the stability of the market order."

Kangxi felt a little strange after hearing this, "Set a stable price standard?"

"Exactly, food is what the people need most, but the price of food among the people fluctuates high and low, which is not conducive to the development of people's livelihood. If the imperial court unified centralized management and formulated a standard food price, no matter what happens, They cannot exceed the price standards set by the imperial court. Doing so will be beneficial to the people and the imperial court."

After listening to Zhuo Hong's words, everyone was discussing in a low voice. Some people thought it was feasible, but some people thought it was not feasible, because once doing so, some people's interests would be touched.

Kangxi thought seriously for a while and did not give a definite answer. "Let me think about this matter again. Guarjia's table hon. After you go down to court, come to the imperial study to see me."

Seeing yourself alone means there is hope.Zhuo Hong felt happy and said, "My lord, I obey the order."

After Zhuo Hong withdrew, Kangxi asked everyone if they had anything else to do.No one made a sound below, so Liang Jiugong spoke out and retreated.

After going down to court, everyone walked towards the palace gate.The prince and Yinzhen walked side by side and walked alone. "Fourth, you did a good job this time." His Royal Highness said with satisfaction.

Yinzhen remained expressionless, "Brother Prince, your words are serious."

"Fourth brother, you don't have to be modest. The errands you and Guarjia's Ruixiang are doing in Jiangnan are all seen by me. This morning, the emperor gave me the full responsibility to finish the matter. It's the emperor. trust..."

His Royal Highness the Prince has been telling Yinzhen, and Yinzhen also responded with a few words.However, behind them, the eldest brother Yinti and his confidants have been observing their actions.

"Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sibeile are very close!"

Yinti chuckled lightly, "The fourth child is originally from the prince's party. It's not surprising that they are so close. Besides, the crown prince and the fourth child's side Fujin are cousins ​​of the same race."

The confidant then said: "Now that the emperor favors the prince and Sibeile, it is not good for us. Now the emperor has asked Mr. Guarjia, the minister of household affairs, to go to the study to discuss things. Among them..."

Yinti turned his head and glared at the confidant beside him. The next second, the confidant did not dare to say anything. "The Guarjia clan has luxuriant branches, strong strength, and the support of the imperial concubine. If we cannot win over such a family, we cannot become enemies."

"As for the prince, let him be proud for a while. The days ahead will be long!"

In the imperial study, Zhuo Hong explained his ideas to Kangxi one by one and listed the benefits.

Kangxi sat playing with the tea lid, listening to Zhuo Hong's words, and fell into deep thought.

Zhui Hong was always paying attention to Kangxi's expression. Seeing that Kangxi did not frown, he continued: "Your Majesty, I can't do this method by myself alone. I want to recommend someone to the Emperor."

"Oh, I would like to know who is worthy of your Guarjia family recommendation?" Kangxi said meaningfully.

Zhuo Hong cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "The person I recommend is the ninth elder brother Yinzhen."

Yinzhen, when did Zhui Hong and Lao Jiu meet?Kangxi was confused in his heart, but there was still no flaw on the surface, "Why is it Lao Jiu and not someone else?"

"The ninth elder brother is good at doing business and has business dealings with businessmen. If the ninth elder brother can handle this matter with me, it can be said to be twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, the ninth elder brother's identity as a prince has certain advantages."

"If this matter is handled well, then the people will naturally be grateful to the court and the emperor for his wisdom!"

Kangxi tapped his fingers on the table and did not directly reply to Table Hong's words.Zhui Hong was not in a hurry and stood quietly below waiting for the emperor's reply.

After a while, Kangxi thought clearly and said: "In that case, I will order Lao Jiu to handle this matter with you. However, I need to know, how sure are you about this matter?"

Zhui Hong immediately knelt down and saluted, "When I return to the emperor, I dare not say that it is foolproof, but I am eight percent sure that this matter will be handled well."

"How long will it take you?"

Zhuo Hong thought for a moment and said, "About a month."

It won't be too long, anyway, he is my favorite after all, so he might give me a surprise.

"I understand. You can go down. You and Lao Jiu will be responsible for this matter. If you encounter any difficulties, just speak to me."

The corners of Zhui Hong's mouth raised, and his face was filled with joy, "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
