Return to the Qing Dynasty (66)

After seeing off the Ninth Concubine, Lin Yutong found an opportunity to tell the Fourth Master, "In terms of commercial tax, I think we have to pay more attention."

The Fourth Master valued agriculture and heavy industry, but never curbed commerce.

He even encouraged merchants to go out and needed merchant ships. This can be found. The imperial court has a shipyard. You just want what model you want. We will sell it to you. Worry about safety issues? This is not needed. Our navy went out to practice and took care of each other.

For example, Jiuye’s caravan, when the goods are transported out, in addition to bringing back real gold, silver, gems, medicinal materials and other goods, they always free up one or two ships to come. What are you doing? Transport food and transport it from outside to inside.

This actually helped a lot. Especially the eighth master. If there is a disaster, sometimes it is useless to raise money, where can you buy food? If Jiu Master brings back all the goods, he will earn more money. But compared to silver, material reserves are the things that can save lives at the critical moment. Later, an armament grain warehouse was added, and Jiu Master was like an ant moving, rushing back little by little.

The Fourth Master did not specifically tell Master Jiu about this, and the Eighth Master didn't come to ask for it. But Master Jiu still did it silently. As for why he didn't buy a large amount of grain from overseas to transport it back, this cannot be criticized. The problem is that Master Jiu is now traveling to small countries around, and the grain itself is difficult to be self-sufficient. It is not easy to make so much money when he comes back. If he buys too much, it will be aroused by the other party's alertness. So in the eyes of Master Jiu, it seems that he is so savage.

Merchants are very smart, and this has nothing to do with nationality. No one can see whether Jiu Ye makes money or not. So if the shipyard business is not expanded, the orders can be queued for ten years. This year, the biggest difference is that there are more and more people who want to go out, but that there are more and more people coming in. Didn’t you see that all the vassal states have sent envoys to come? This was not something that was done before. Now the envoys are permanent, and before they come only when they have something to do. Either they come to the door to fight for the autumn wind or ask for help. Or there is a conflict in their own country and asking for justice. Now? The Fourth Master has always given memorial things only. For example,

The Taihu stones transported by the letter, such as potted welcoming pine, flowers planted by the queen, or the Confucius and Mencius scriptures copied by the princes and princes, or the embroidery of the princes and princes. Anyway, they couldn't tell the difference between the princess and princes. The little princess was still fertile, and Lin Yutong picked out casually from Xuanbao's embroidery. It was just a matter of meaning. Anyway, how could he do it without spending money? The porcelain fired from Hongli's own kiln factory was picked out by his emperor Ama and gave it to others. He had quite a lot of them, but his emperor Ama really couldn't appreciate his style, and he looked at it and was so chaotic that he took it out and gave it to others.

Hongli was also very happy about his Emperor Ama's approach, and thought he was interested in him. Think about it, the things produced in his private property were given to him by him Ama as a state gift, so it was not a matter of importance. The Fourth Master finally made a lot of annoying things out, and then his good son Hongli generously gave him Emperor Amala a big push, "You can give it whatever you want, every piece here is unique."

The two brothers parted in disagreement.

Lin Yutong took out this matter and told the Fourth Master specifically, "...If the kiln factory in Hongli was placed in the hands of others, it would be a treasure pot. We ourselves may not be more popular, but foreign merchants like this thing."

The Fourth Master nodded, this is the reason. The gifts given to the country were all given to their own royal family. No matter where and when the royal family was, it was a trend. If they used it, would the noble families of dignitaries and noble families use it? If they were transported back, they would definitely make a fortune. If the gift came out of the same kiln factory and came from the same or the same group of craftsmen, the value would be immeasurable. It would be fine to sell it at a sky-high price.

Lin Yutong then continued: "So, should we start to consider import and export taxes too..."

It's true!

Even if the scale of imports and exports is still small, it is indeed time to prepare for the future.

The Fourth Master summoned more than a dozen ministers overnight, and the lights in the imperial study room were on all night.

The weather was getting colder and a heavy snow came quietly. When I opened my eyes, there was a shiny outside. It was not that it was too late, but that the snow was too heavy.

Before she finished washing, people came to Changchun Garden. The empress dowager said that the weather was not good, so she should not run back and forth, and she would be spared from paying respects these days. The child is still young, so taking care of the child is important.

Lin Yutong knew that the old empress dowager was not lonely now, and the empress dowager was taken in by the empress dowager as soon as winter came. A few people gathered together to play cards and play mahjong, and often got choked for a few cents. No one allowed anyone to let anyone know. The key is that the concubines also understood that the Fourth Master did not want to make things difficult for their son. Their affairs with the empress dowager were not involved in the big matters outside. Less cautious, and this immediately became a little more true. They ate and drank together, remembered to curse their son, sat together and secretly said a few words to their daughter-in-law.

The grandson-daughter-in-law said bad things, and then praised her grandson. Life was free all of a sudden. Just like what the empress dowager said, after leaving the palace, there were no less worries. The whole family was clamoring and could make people die. If they met a clever young man, they could still listen to it and knew that they were kind-hearted. There was that stupid guy who couldn't understand it. I wish I could open his head to see what was inside. I didn't care if I had the will. I didn't care. This was my grandson and great-grandson. I couldn't bear it. If I were to care, I could really make the old lady angry.

But Lin Yutong said that such days make the old ladies live more vividly.

While washing, she asked Madam Ping, "What are the emperor and a few concubines going to do today?"

"I made an appointment to go fishing together." Madam Ping smiled, "Send fish to the Empress tonight."

Lin Yutong looked out and it was snowing heavily! Go fishing on such a day? Okay! Who told the old ladies to be in good health?

After giving a few instructions, he asked to take back two jars of wine brewed by himself, "... it is not intoxicating, but it is the most dispelling of cold. After drinking this, I don't even need the medicine to drive away the cold when I go back."

It's like an advertisement, but the effect is really not something that can be blown up.

Madam Ping took the order and went there. Lin Yutong asked Zhang Qilin to send him off in person, and then took a look at the Queen Mother.

A few small dressed in neat clothes on the clinical kang, looking out through the window, each of them seemed anxious, Honghan pointed outside, "...go...go..." Hongjing stamped his feet, "Look...see..."

Hanged himself?

This means that I can't explain it clearly.

He still asked Su Peisheng and Dong Xiaowan to go, but he said he didn't find anything. He called the coroner specifically, and said to be very sure that he committed suicide and there was no possibility of being killed.

Then suicide is voluntary and forced.

Finally, I asked someone to check it secretly, and the answer I got was also ambiguous. Hongli did meet this palace maid in the palace, and it is said that he praised this palace maid for being "a touching thing". But no matter how deep the relationship is, it really didn't find out. In addition, this palace maid would meet a cousin outside the palace every month. As for that cousin, it has not been found out yet.

This is all that's all.

There is nothing in the world that cannot live without paper. In a few days, Fu Cha heard the news. I don’t know how to persuade Hongli, but he moved it out anyway. The mansion was given by the Fourth Master, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to be careless. Naturally, he was fined everything he should clean up. As soon as he asked someone to clean it, he could move it. Niu Hulu couldn’t stop it from the left and right, and later he started to pretend to be sick, saying that he couldn’t leave Hongli in front of him for a moment. Fu Cha was also desperate, so he immediately beat someone and said that he wanted to send a message to the garden and apologize to the Emperor Long Live, saying that Hongli could not be a servant or go to school, and he only waited for illness in Yongshou Palace and was a filial son.

Niu Hulu's expression changed drastically. How dare you? No matter how she dealt with Hongli, she would definitely anger Long Live Master. Fu Cha said very kindly: "The Empress is now a concubine... My grandmother also said that she would be a good job and ask for anything else. As long as the Emperor Ama is polite, she can take care of him and ask her mother to rise up again, after all, it is the filial piety of being a son..."

Is this a good intention to say it? Niu Hulu's face turned pale. Now he is just a concubine, and the next sentence should be 'If you continue to do this, you will not even be a concubine.' When you think of this possibility, you have nothing nonsense. You just say that you are confused for a while and still can't bear to leave your son.

In this way, the couple moved out of the palace. But Hongli's An family's money paid off their debts. Where can I settle the money? So Fucha's dowry was used. Except for the little furniture brought out of the palace, the rest were used in Fucha's dowry. How big is the yard of the prince's house? How big is the prince's house? The house cannot be empty. Even if it is not used, the decorations must be arranged. But Fucha can ask Hongli to use her dowry, but he will never ask the concubines and servants to use her dowry. What should be bought?

But I don't like this bad one, and I don't have money.

What to do?

Hongli held Fucha's hand and said, "I have asked all my family to the concubine. There is nothing to worry about."

Fu Cha looked at his extremely elegant back, and his perfect smile cracked inch by inch on his face. Who said that you are so relieved? I wish you were so worried that you would hold everything in your hands.

Anyway, it won’t work if you want to pay for it. What should I do? Things have to move forward!

I only gave me a few hundred taels of silver when I was in the room, whether it was old furniture or a carpenter to make it. Anyway, I just need to make up the number. I spent less than five hundred taels of silver in a month to make up for the furniture at home.

Hongli was extremely satisfied and felt that Fujin was particularly capable.

But Gao and Fucha were on the side, and they felt aggrieved. What kind of shit furniture was that! I don’t know who used it, so I asked someone to repair it. I applied a layer of new paint outside and took it to use it. Who has suffered this since I was a child?

At night, he took the opportunity and complained to Hongli and asked Hongli to see her wardrobe. The smell inside could suck her to death.

Hongli didn't go! He was not blind, and Wu Shulai didn't care about anything. So can it be fine if he didn't have money and didn't do this? Just don't lose money. He just didn't want to lose money. He didn't want to subsidize women. He immediately pulled his face down, "The concubine advocates simplicity, and never sees pearls and jade on his head. You don't think about your shortcomings, but you're not talking about the concubine's fault. It's just that the concubine's hard work is wasted. In the future, the concubine will no longer care about your affairs, and they will do whatever they love. Envy the concubine? The concubine brought it from her parents' home..."

"I also have a family..." Gao can die of grievance and can tolerate anything else, but she really can't bear it. She burst into tears and shook Hongli's sleeves, "Can I also take care of my family?"

Wu Shulai listened outside and curled his lips in his heart. Isn’t Gao a smart person usually? Why are you stupid now? The prince said, ‘Whatever you love?’ ‘The concubines are all taken from her parents’. Isn’t this hint obvious enough? I just asked you to go to her parents’ family. Is it also asked? What did you say when you ask? Let’s go? Where can you put the face?

Sure enough, I heard a cold hum inside, and then said two words - whatever!

Just do whatever you want! I'll change this thing.

After going back and forth, it was nothing wrong, but the dilapidated furniture was moved in and out.

People do not say that Hongli’s family cannot earn money, but instead say that Fucha will not be the leader of the family and treat the concubines harshly.

Anyway, the saying was not good, so Hongli took Fucha to live outside the city to relax. He had no house outside the garden. So he lived in the Fucha family. The Fucha family had a great business, and they occupied a large area with only one family. Then the inside was divided, and the part was from which house was from which house was very clear. The mother of Fucha family took her brothers to Chahar's office, so the house was empty. There was an old servant cleaning it, so it was very convenient to move in.

So in fact, Hongli is now eating soft rice, and the food, clothing and consumption are all from Fucha.

Lin Yutong asked this and said that you were so early. Hongli didn't have any other expressions, so he just blushed.

What do you say? He said he lived in his father-in-law's house? He laughed at someone's big teeth.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Fu Cha had to say, "When I say to the emperor, my daughter-in-law wanted to come out to scatter..." As he said that, he glanced at the four little ones who came out of it, with envy in his eyes. It seemed that he was not in a very smooth mood for the sake of having no children.

The four little ones only knew how to leave, and they were also very steadily. Because they were familiar with Hongshi and Hongzhou, they ran over and let them tease him.

Lin Yutong just smiled and ignored it. When she said something to Fu Cha to make her feel at ease, she skipped the topic. She originally asked casually, wherever she liked to live. It was indeed strange to live in the wife's house now, Hongli's identity is now. But later son-in-law lived in Yue's house more and more. It was really no big deal.

He turned around and said to Hongzhou again, "It's so snowy, don't run out these two days. It's hard to walk on the road."

In fact, it is not that difficult to walk. The road from the garden to the capital is very easy to walk. A dedicated person is repairing and cleaning. The inns and restaurants on the road are temporarily paved with two rows. However, the emperor's mother hasn't returned to the palace for so long, so she doesn't know at all.

"Then you take the lead and do it." Lin Yutong decided directly. She started to do it first. As for what she taught, it can be adjusted in the future. Moreover, Fucha was a very famous queen in history, so her abilities must be fine. With such an idea, she would have proposed it on her own initiative, so let's do it.

That's so simple?

Fu Cha was a little stunned. She just wanted to try it first. Even if the queen was interested, shouldn't she say to Master Wansui first and wait until Master Wansui responded before she could prepare? Even if she was preparing, shouldn't she be called the Queen Mother, and then she was in charge, and would she have her daughter-in-law running errands? Why didn't she say anything, and didn't even ask the charter, and just said that she had responded.

She simply called her a little panicked. She was really upset today. She hadn't discussed it with her master before. She looked at Hongli carefully and saw that he was still smiling, but she knew that he was angry.

But what can I do if I get angry? I mentioned it first. I'm not responding now? I didn't whine like this.

She stood up with a little fear, "The daughter-in-law must discuss with her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and then write the charter for the emperor's mother..."

Lin Yutong called Dong Xiaowan over and said, "Get 100,000 taels of silver notes..."

After the silver notes were brought, Lin Yutong pointed to Fucha and said, "Give it to the fourth concubine."

Fu Cha was trembling, so he gave money directly? "My daughter-in-law was frightened..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Yutong has a very good attitude towards children who are willing to work and capable of working. "Just go, it doesn't matter if you can't do it well. Just do your best."

Until I went out of the garden, Fucha felt a little unreal.

Hongli looked at Fucha, then looked at the money box in the arms of Fucha, and sneered, "I really underestimated Fujin. Why? I want to learn from Aunt Jiu?" As he said that, he sneered again, "Not right! You are much smarter than Aunt Jiu. Aunt Jiu only knows how to make money and ignore anything else. What about you? Your heart is bigger than her, and you want reputation. I think I can't give you disrespectful, and I want to earn it myself?"

How did you say this?

Fu Cha felt angry, "I really would accuse a good person. Who is my fault for?"

Hongli looked at Fucha coldly, "Is this for the sake of my master?"

Fucha's eyes were red, "If it's not for the good of my master, can anyone do it for? I won't look at it. Which one is close to us, the seventh prince and the eighth prince and the nineth prince and the tenth prince? Let's look at the third prince and the fifth prince. Can it be achieved overnight with so close to my younger brother and sister?"

Hong Ai and Hong Chang were snatching Hong Shi and climbing up and down on him. Looking at the cooperating and tacit movements, they knew that they often played like this with a few young people. Hong Zhou was even more overwhelmed, holding the ten princess in one hand and slid Hong Han in the other hand, holding the collar, the emperor's mother would not say anything, and she just laughed. The same is true for her mother.

I used to go to Huang's wife to pay my respects with Hongzhou, but I didn't feel anything awkward. The treatment was the same. But since when did it become different? Outsiders can't see anything, but I know that some things are still different.

He regretted it a little that living in the palace was a big mistake.

Fu Cha knew when he saw his expression, he thought, "... There is such a thing, I can often go to the garden... Five times out of ten times can be with me. If you look at it in the first half of the year, it will definitely be different from now..."

That's the truth.

I felt a little embarrassed when I was wronged. I went over and pulled Fucha's hand back and forth, "...I've told you to be wronged..."

Fu Cha's nose was sore, and now he was really wronged for himself. Why did he meet such a man?

But he is a person who is used to being virtuous and never let go. "I am too anxious. I have discussed it with the master a long time ago, so there will be no such thing as this today."

However, Fucha's female school gave him some inspiration. He had a very good understanding. Thinking of what Emperor Ama has done now, he stayed up for two nights, wrote a memorial, and went straight to the garden.

The Fourth Master called the person in, looked up and signaled him to speak.

Hongli nervously handed over the note, "Please go to Emperor Ama Yu."

"Tell me directly." The Fourth Master put the note aside, "Basically what is it written..." He put down the pen in his hand, raised his head back, pillowed on the back of the chair, then raised his hand and pressed the acupoints around his eyes and moved.

This is the eyes are tired.
Chapter completed!
