Kangxi said that he came over at three quarters of the unitary hour, but in fact he arrived just after the unitary hour. Before he came, he had already had dinner in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Wen Xi had just finished his meal.

In the warm pavilion, the narcissus bloomed gracefully, and the inside and outside of the palace seemed to be divided into two worlds. The inside of the palace was as warm as spring, and the outside of the palace dripped into ice. Kangxi took off his snow-stained black fox fur cloak, handed it to Li Dequan, and asked : "I heard that you went to Xian'an Palace."

Wen Xi hummed lightly, took out the petition book from her sleeve, handed it to Kangxi and said, "Written by Yinfeng."

Kangxi unfolded it, only glanced silently, then put the folder on the table, with no meaning in his words: "I know."

Seeing Kangxi's unconcerned look, Wen Xi said, "Xian'an Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the damage is very serious. It may be hard to live in winter, does the emperor know?"

Kangxi was silent for Shaoqing, and then said: "I know something."

Wen Xi silently calculated in her heart, and said, "If you repair it a little bit, it won't cost much money." A fraction of the money you spent on repairing the Changchun Garden is more than enough. You can't ask your son to live here In a broken house that leaks wind and snow?

Kangxi fixedly looked at Wen Xi: "Don't you blame Yinfeng?"

Wen Xi couldn't help laughing: "When did I blame the second elder brother?" It was Kangxi himself who was always worried about Yinfeng, okay?Whether it was the matter of Yinreng or Yinreng's offense, Wen Xi has already let go of it.

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said with a warm hand: "Okay, I will make an order to repair the Xian'an Palace someday." Kangxi's old hand slowly stroked Wen Xi's suet-like jade-like catkin , There is late attachment and gratification in the eyes.Kangxi's tone was soft and thick: "Galuo, it's great to be with you."

Wen Xi smiled without saying a word, just turned her face and snuggled into his arms. The years in the Forbidden City have been too long, and she has gotten used to it, and she is used to staying by this man's side. grow old.Such a long life is also a kind of happiness.

Kangxi caressed Wen Xi's loose black hair, which remained the same as the black hair at the beginning... Kangxi's brows were filled with a little sadness and... gratification, besides Jiangshan Tianxia, ​​there was her who accompanied him all his life.Because of her, even in his later years, he will not be alone.

Perhaps in his later years, Kangxi tossed his sons endlessly, and was also tossed endlessly by his sons, and the relationship between father and son almost disappeared.Fortunately, at least he still has a beloved wife.Old age will not lead to a bleak evening scene.

Because Kangxi decreed to repair the Xian'an Palace, although it only allocated a few 10 taels of silver, the conservative veterans of the previous dynasty regarded it as a precursor to Kangxi's restoration of the crown prince. For a while, the veterans headed by Tang Bin supported the eldest son Jointly signed a letter requesting that the second elder brother be reinstated as the prince.

In the court, Kangxi just refused to mention it, but the next day he decreed that Tang Bin and other ten were veterans. In this way, no one dared to mention the matter of re-establishing Yinfeng.

At this time, Yinlu was teaching Fu'er to write in Wenxi Palace.Fu'er is younger than Yinlu's two daughters, so Yinlu always coaxes Fu'er like a daughter.

"That's right. That's it. You have to pause for a while when you make a turn, so that the written characters will have muscles and bones!" While holding Fu'er's soft little hand, he wrote the word "Fu".

Fu'er blinked her big eyes: "Brother, what word is this?"

Yin Lu smiled softly: "It's 'Fu', Fu'er's 'Fu'."

Wen Xi looked at the two of them with a tender smile on her face: "Aren't you working in the official department? Why are you so leisurely?"

Yinlu put the Langhao pen on the Moyu pen mountain, and said slowly: "Take one hair and move the whole body. If you want to clean it up, you must use the momentum of thunder, otherwise you will simply do nothing."

Yinlu is becoming more and more familiar with politics, and Wen Xi asked himself that there is nothing he can teach him.The corruption of official administration has existed in all dynasties, and it is nothing new.It's just that governing the government is a science, if you don't move it too much, it won't be effective; if you move it too much, it will touch the interests of too many people, make too many enemies, and even shake the foundation of the dynasty.

"Hearing what you said, it seems like you already have a plan?" Wen Xi took a sip of tea slowly.

Yinlu said with a smile: "The broken silver for local taxation needs to be melted and cast before being handed over. The loss is less than one cent, while the neighboring provinces of Zhili are three cents, Jiangnan and other places are six to seven cents, and Shanxi and other places are six to seven cents. In remote places, it can even reach [-]%! The so-called "fire consumption" is often several times or even dozens of times the actual loss! And the deductions will be shown on the local people...." Yinlu said with a face The smile on his face gradually turned to an angry expression.

If you want to embezzle, there are naturally a hundred ways to embezzle...Wen Xi raised her eyelids and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Yin Lu calmed down and said: "It's simple, in fact, it's nothing more than the words 'return the fire to the public'!" Excluding local officials who use fire to search will undoubtedly offend too many people. It is simple to say, but it will inevitably be obstructed in practice.Thinking of this, Yin Lu frowned deeply.

Yinzhen offended the nobles of the Eight Banners for clearing the debt. Yinlu really didn't want to be the second Yinzhen, but just wanted to make some real achievements. How could he not offend others?

Wen Xi thought for a while, recalled the history, and said, "Nowadays, Prince Yong seems to be quite busy too?"

Feeling the pressure, Yinlu said: "Emiang doesn't know yet, the fourth elder brother of the former son just gave a letter to Huang Ama, saying: There is no fixed amount of money, and it is difficult to collect silver. If things go on like this, the national treasury will definitely decrease year by year! Therefore, please decree that the stalls will be allocated to the mu!"

Wen Xi was slightly startled, the strategy of distributing money to the mother was developed after Yongzheng ascended the throne, why did it come up at this time? !It is true that in the late Kangxi period, serious land mergers had already occurred. Some landlords occupied a large amount of land. Taxes are collected according to the number of people. "Those who have a lot of assignments must have a lot of land, and those who have a small number of assignments must also have fields."In this way, relative fairness has been achieved, and it is also an effective strategy to restrain land mergers.

Yinlu is also a little bit worried, and the ones who offend are just some landlords who have no titles and no fame, but if the implementation of "retribution for fire consumption" offends, it will be the Manchu and Han officials all over the world.It's just that if you don't sit down, you will be one step behind Yinzhen, and Yinlu dare not lag behind others.

Wen Xi naturally understood his son's expression, so he picked up the brush and wrote the three characters "Yang Lian Yin".

Yinlu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Good idea!" The loss of fire damages the official's income, and making up for it in other ways can be regarded as "a combination of grace and power".

After writing the word Wen Xi, it was burned immediately.However, Yinlu couldn't wait for half a moment, even if he left and went back to the house to write the papers, after more than a month, Yinlu was too busy to enter the palace to pay his respects.

But Fu'er held her fleshy chin and said, "Why isn't Brother Sixteen coming?"

It just so happened that Yinli came into the palace to pay his respects on this day, holding the windmill for Fu'er in his hand, he twitched the corner of his mouth: "Cooperating with me is unnecessary!"

"Brother Seventeen!" Fu'er seemed to forget what she just said just now, and jumped up with her little butt twisted. In fact, she rushed up towards the colorful windmill.

Yin Li shook his head helplessly, gave Fu'er the windmill to play with, and then gave Wen Xi a thousand greetings: "Brother Sixteen has been so busy recently that he has been sleeping in the office of officials, and even Hongdan caught Zhou I forgot to go back home!"

Hongdan is Yinlu's third son, and he is also the son of the Guaerjia clan of Jin Fujin. Unfortunately, Yinlu, the Ama, didn't pay much attention to this child, and he treated the two concubines in the same way. Not much difference.

Although Yin Li's tone complained, he was also envious. His elder brother, who was only three years older than him, already had three sons, and the Fucha family of Fu Jin was pregnant again, but he only had one daughter (by his concubine Meng Shi). out).

Wen Xi could only comfort her: "Don't worry, you will always come when it's time."

On the second day after the first birthday, Wenxi's daughter-in-law, Guarjia, brought Hongdan, who was wrapped in red, into the palace to pay her respects. Hongdan...Wenxi had to complain about the level of Kangxi's naming, although the little guy He was called Hongdan, but he was not born on New Year's Day. Maybe it was to match the word "Yuan" in his Ama County King's title, so he was called Hongdan, right?It's just that when Wen Xi says the name, she only thinks of red-skinned eggs...

Having a son, the Guerjia family is full of confidence, but Yinlu was unable to come back to participate in the Hongdan baby's catch-up week due to business, which made the Guerjia family very sad, but still showed the generosity of a first-law wife: "Grandpa has been so busy recently that everyone has lost weight. My daughter-in-law often persuades him to take care of himself, but he doesn't listen..."

Wen Xi was poking her grandson Hongdan's round, egg-like face with her finger, and she was the cutest child ever!

Seeing that Wen Xi seemed to like Hongdan's appearance very much, Guerjia's heart moved slightly, and he quickly took the opportunity to say: "Emperor Niang, Hongdan is also one year old."

Wen Xi's eyes were narrowed with a smile, but he didn't hear the other meaning in his daughter-in-law's words for a while. He took off the golden step on his bun and dangled it in front of Hongdan's eyes. The little guy's eyes like black pearls followed The golden thing turned left and right, not long after, Hongdan became dizzy, and rubbed his eyes with his small hand as fat as a steamed bun.Wen Xi was immediately amused by his cute appearance, and said, "Look at the cutie, I really miss Yinlu when he was young!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Guarjia hurriedly agreed, "My daughter-in-law also thinks that Hongdan's eyebrows and eyes look very much like your father's!" She took two steps closer and reminded Wen Xi: "The year before last, Brother Fourteen's eldest son, Hongchun, was established as the heir..."

"Hongchun?" Wen Xi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of the Guerjia family. This was implying that Wen Xi Hongdan, as the eldest son, should also be established as the eldest son! (To be continued.
