Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1150 Kindness

Elder Brother Shi just gave a casual order, but Chu Yu could hear the loneliness in his words.

She didn't understand why the fourth uncle on the dragon chair didn't let the tenth uncle go. Even though he was attached to the eighth uncle by the party in the early years, he had already faded out of the political situation in the capital because of his illness all the year round.

"When he is being naughty, as long as Uncle Ten doesn't think he is making trouble, he will often come over to say hello to you in the future." Chu Yu replied like this.

Tianhui was raised in the inner house, and no one would talk to her about the important affairs of the court, and she was only puzzled.If this person in front of him is really his "tenth uncle and grandpa", then he is from the clan, why did he come to Qingyuan?

Tianyou, on the other hand, knew about the tenth elder brother's "staying" in Zhangjiakou, so he turned his head and glanced at the guards at the gate of the yard with the corner of his eyes, thoughtfully.

Elder Brother Shi seemed impatient to socialize with others. Hearing Chuyu's answer, he frowned slightly, and waved Chuyu and his mother and son away.

Chu Yu got up to answer, took her children and left.

Tianbao seems to like the safety buckle very much, and he refuses to let go of it.

Tianyou walked to his mother and said softly, "Did the father ask the mother to bring the children here?"

Chu Yu was a little depressed, nodded, and did not speak.

Tianyou hesitated for a moment and didn't ask again.Tianhui looked at her brother twice, followed behind her mother, and went back to the inner house.

After Cao Yong came back from the official residence, Chu Yu told her husband about the situation of today's meeting, and also mentioned his doubts.

I didn't think it before, after all, this is what Cao Yong knew about history, and now hearing what Chu Yu said, Cao Yong also pondered.

In the history known in his previous life, the reason why the fourth elder brother killed the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother was not only because these two were powerful enemies who seized the throne in the last years of Kangxi, but also because after he ascended the throne, these people were ruthless and bewitched. Hong Shi seized the heir, which angered the fourth elder brother.

However, history has changed.

The eighth elder brother died of illness, and the "eighth elder brother's party" was either swallowed by the fourteenth elder brother, or died down. The fourth elder brother really had no reason to kill these two.

"Maybe it's the tiredness of the fish in the pond." Cao Yong said.

Because he is not the "Four Master Party", he doesn't know much about some secrets.However, Yongzheng had heard of his disgust towards Concubine Yi.

Several officials in the court of Guo Luoluo's family have been relegated one after another in recent years.

Prince Heng from Concubine Yi did not participate in the imperial concubine in the last years of Kangxi, but he was still not indifferent to Yongzheng, and stayed at home with leisure.Then he found Yuzi and abolished Prince Heng's son.

As for Concubine Yi's second son, Brother Jiu, he was sent directly to the Northwest Army for house arrest.

Seeing that her husband had no intention of talking, Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions.

Tianbao is innocent and innocent, but he doesn't know that his childhood life will be turbulent.

The next day, when Cao Yong and his wife greeted Mrs. Li, they sent out all the maids and mothers-in-law, and talked for a while in a low voice.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li could only sigh, but had no objection, and arranged for two wives to send Tianbao to Yin Hotel...

Half a month later, in the capital, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Yongzheng looked at the secret report in front of him with a very complicated expression.The thirteenth brother sat on the stool, glanced at the box containing the secret report on the few cases in front of the imperial court, and guessed where the news came from?
In the northwest, Nian Gengyao was transferred away from the northwest for half a year, and he still focused on appeasement.

In terms of Jiangnan, it is true that the governor of Liangjiang had paid filial piety to Prince Yong's mansion in the early years, but he also hooked up with other palaces.

Guangdong...someone is making trouble, and taking advantage of Nian Gengyao's crime, he wants to bring Nian Xiyao down.It is estimated that in their eyes, this is in favor of the emperor...

Seeing the thirteenth elder brother frowning slightly, if he was worried, Yongzheng handed him the folder in his hand, finally smiled and said: "Look, there is something to be happy about."

The thirteenth brother saw him smile, he let go of his heart, got up and took it with both hands.

Looking at it, the thirteenth elder brother also laughed, and said: "I really can't imagine what it would be like for the tenth brother to be a teacher. I still remember that when I was in the study, the tenth brother was the one who didn't like reading the most..."

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard the words.

When I was a child, I was still ignorant, I only thought that the tenth elder brother, as the prince's elder brother, was lazy and arrogant, ignorant and unskillful, and could not be taught; now that I think about it, I feel weird.

Logically speaking, among the sons of the former emperor, only the ten elder brothers were able to compete with the crown prince.Although he was born of a noble concubine, he has a queen aunt, and his parents are from a family of meritorious service.

However, there has been more than 30 years of turmoil about seizing the heir. At first, it was the elder brother and the prince, then the eighth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother, although they could not stay out of the matter, no one took him too seriously.

All is well.

Because he treated Elder Brother Ten as an idiot, if he hadn't vented his anger, Yongzheng wouldn't even have the intention to teach him a lesson.

Are you wise and safe?
The coldness in Yongzheng's eyes gradually receded, but he snorted coldly, and said: "This Cao Yong, you can go to the letter and ask, he has prepared a complete set of repairs. Is it true that the king of the county is the teacher for the children? Todd?"

The thirteenth elder brother knew his temperament, and his words of cursing were not necessarily scolding, nor were his compliments of praise, but he echoed: "Brother Ten is a royal family, how can you allow outsiders to insult you? Cao Yong should be so negligent. Rebuke him. He was sensible in the early years, why did he get rude when he was outside?"

On the other hand, Yongzheng couldn't help but say a fair word for the governor of Zhili he had appointed: "Cao Yong acted cautiously. This kind of inconspicuous matter may not be his idea. Just ask him a few words, there is no need to make a big fanfare... "

The two brothers were talking, and a servant came in to report that Prince Zhuang had arrived, and I will see you at the back of the palace.

"Xuan!" Yongzheng said.

Brother Thirteen couldn't sit down any longer, so he stood up and stood aside.

Brother Sixteen held a thick booklet and walked in with the servant.

The fourth elder brother looked at the folder in the sixteenth elder brother's hand, his brows tightened, and he said, "So many?"

Elder Sixteen smiled wryly and said: "Isn't that right? Originally, the imperial clan was tested every year, but later it was changed to three years, and then it was changed to five years... There were many delays in the past few years, which is why so many clans have not been sealed. The noble..." After finishing speaking, he handed the booklet to the servant, who handed it to the imperial court.

Yongzheng glanced at it twice, only to feel a headache.

Once a title goes on, there must be a house, a village, servants, servants, and annual supplies.Adding this much at once is another big expense.

But it doesn't matter if you drag it. Although these people don't have the authority of the clan princes and county kings, they are the cornerstone of the clan, and they can't be messed up.

"Then choose a day to take the exam." Yongzheng ordered.

The sixteenth elder brother bowed to answer, Yongzheng glanced at him, and said: "After the exam is over, when submitting the booklet, add the name of Yunxi at the front."

The sixteenth elder brother couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "Your Majesty..."

Yongzheng said softly: "Yunli has a son, and after the winter solstice, he wants to welcome his mother out of the palace for a short stay. You have Taifu Jin in your palace, and it is not easy to want mother and son to be together. In the future, if you miss the concubine, you can welcome her." She's going to Yunxuan's residence."

In the past few months, although Yongzheng and Sixteenth Brother, the monarch and minister brothers, did not have a clear biological relationship, but because of the Sixteenth Fujin incident, they lost their old intimacy.

Now, after hearing Yongzheng's arrangement, Elder Sixteen was so grateful that he fell to the ground, choked up and said, "My brother, thank the emperor for his grace!"

Although Yongzheng said it was to fulfill the filial piety of the sixteenth elder brother, he actually told him in a disguised form that the fifteenth elder brother should be spared.

Among the former emperor's sons, except for a few minor elder brothers, only the fifteenth elder brother was 33 years old and had not yet been knighted.

In the early years, it was okay to be a prince. He lived in the palace and was enshrined in a famous position; now he is the younger brother of the emperor, and the whole family is keeping a filial piety.

Although Yongzheng didn't like Elder Brother Fifteen, he always liked Elder Sixteen, and he respected Concubine Mi a lot. Today, he took the opportunity of being enshrined by the imperial family, and sent back his kindness. Elder brother said: "At this time, you know how to thank the emperor? In the future, you can rest wherever you want. You don't need the old cat in the study, who will care about your intercourse?"

Yongzheng bestowed court ladies and side Fujin consecutively. Although the sixteenth elder brother could not resist the decree, he only stayed with each of them for one night. Together with the sixteenth Fujin, the wives and concubines were left aside and only stayed overnight in the study of the palace.

After Yongzheng found out, he was slightly annoyed, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Today, the sixteenth elder brother blushed immediately, and said embarrassingly, "Your majesty...my brother is just, it's just that the past few days have been a bit of a bitter summer..."

Yongzheng knew that he was protecting the [-]th Fujin, and was afraid that people in the palace would step down and praise him, but he didn't point it out, he just said: "As a descendant of Aixinjueluo, multiplying blood is the top priority... You must not forget your responsibility." It's just as good as it is..."

Qingyuan, Governor's Mansion, official residence.

Cao Yong looked at the several crops in front of him with a smile on his face.Golden corn, red-skinned sweet potatoes, and snow-white cotton.

Song Hou glanced at the silent Jiang Jian, and said, "My lord, do you really want to set up a cotton company?"

Although cotton planting is promoted in Zhili this year, the quantity is limited.After all, this thing is not comparable to crops, it is a terrible thing to eat.

"In order not to occupy good land, cotton is mostly grown in scattered ways. If there is no cotton bank, these scattered cotton will not be sold at a high price, and the people will lose interest in planting, and this road will be cut off." Cao Yong said.

Although he knows that as long as there is an organization, there will be disadvantages, but after careful consideration, he still decides not to give up eating because of choking.

There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are many cloth workshops. If the cotton from Zhili is sold to Jiangnan, it will also give Zhili an extra income.

Song Hou was old and prudent, and said: "My lord, please think again, food is the most important thing for the people, Zhili is prone to drought, and the land is not rich. If it is really profitable to grow cotton, it may not be a blessing for the people. "

The common people are easy to appease, that is to let them have enough food.People who have enough to eat are sheep, and if they are hungry, sheep can also turn into wolves.

Among the thirteen provinces in the world, no governor dares to neglect farming, because he knows the importance of food.

Although Cao Yong's move can bring money to Zhili, it may also plant disasters to Zhili, Song Houcai bluntly persuaded him.

Just listen to Cao Yong said: "Zhili is located in the north, and there have been nine droughts in ten years. Even if you don't grow cotton, you can grow food. If there are continuous famines, it is not enough. Now the southern part of Zhili implements a twice-a-year grain harvest. The high-yield sweet potatoes and corn are on the top, and I just breathe a sigh of relief. The cotton is planted, and the cotton from Zhili is exchanged for the grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there may be some surplus between the round trip..."
