Chapter 62 Ruthless Master

In the backyard of Prince Yong's mansion, Yinzhen and Wu Sidao talked about a game, but they were defeated. While messing up the word "chess" and asked in a muffled voice, "Have you heard of the rumors in the capital these days? What do you think?"

Wu Sidao smiled but said nothing, and then he packed up his chess pieces. He said later, "The Fourth Master looked worried and had many flaws in playing chess. I think there was an answer, so why should I ask Sidao again?" [The latest updates are all in search.]

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Sir, great talent, Yinzhen suspected that this was done by his eighth brother, but it was a kung fu. Can you have any tricks?"

Wu Sidao said in a deep voice: "This matter must be done by the Eighth Master, and there is also the shadow of the Fourteenth Master behind it."

Yinzhen was not only surprised, but "Is there any share of the 14th brother?"

"Yeah." Wu Sidao nodded, "There are many different opinions outside, and the spread is even more confusing. It is obvious that someone is pushing the waves and trying to confuse the public. What is the purpose? Naturally, it is to cover up his true identity. Why do you want to cover up your identity like this great good deed that harms people's livelihood?

Whether it is the court or the merchant, if you do such good deeds, you will promote them with great fanfare. This matter is not something that can be taken for tens of thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. The court is worthy of fame and merchants value profit. How can there be no one who does not promote it? It is even more impossible for officials. Not to mention that without this financial power, even if there is, what are the benefits of doing this? The disadvantages are obvious. It is even more impossible for civilian gentry, and without this financial power or organizational ability.

Therefore, the only possibility is the prince. The benefits of doing this are: one is to invite the people and the other is to invite favors. Why should we hide our identity? That is because we are afraid of losing the crime of inviting people's hearts. The emperor has always been in a state of glory, and he is naturally happy to see such good deeds that benefit the people's livelihood. He will definitely vigorously promote and commend. At this stage, concealing his identity can avoid the crime of inviting people's hearts, and the other is to play hard to get, suppress it first and then promote it.

A prince with this financial resources and ability can only be the eighth master party. Why is there a fourteenth shadow behind it?

The main thing is this incredible idea, this is a unique idea. The Eighth Master and Ninth Master should not think of it. Only those like the Fourteenth Master who likes unexpected and unique can come up with it. The Fourteenth Master came to Beijing on March 18th and talked with the Eighth Master and the others. In the beginning of April, the project started. This is not a coincidence. Secondly, it is financial resources. It is difficult to complete without hundreds of thousands of taels of taels. Finally, it is the method of this matter and a dignified plot. This is also the usual style of the Fourteenth Master. As for cracking, it is not very difficult."

Wu Sidao said this in one breath, and the problem of keeping it up was broken again. He slowly poured himself a cup of tea and savored it slowly.

Although Yinzhen guessed that it was the eighth brother's work, how could he analyze like Wu Sidao like this? He was convinced by this and secretly glad that this person was in his own hands. If his opponent had such a talent, he would really be restless. Seeing Wu Sidao keeping him in custody, he didn't urge him, just waited with a smile.

Wu Sidao was so happy that he spoke, "Release a rumor, and the other party's project can slow down or even completely stagnate and scrap."

"Oh?" This is a good idea. Yinzhen couldn't help but lean forward, "What rumors?"

"As the saying goes, wealth is moving, the Fourth Master only needs to release news that when the former Ming thief Li Zicheng evacuated Beijing, due to the rush of time, he buried a large amount of gold, silver and jade in the ditch."

This is too outrageous. Who would believe this nonsense? Yinzhen hesitated, "Who believes this news?"

"Often no one believes it." Wu Sidao chuckled, "But now they dug the ditch and refused to tell the main owner behind it, which is already suspicious. As soon as this rumor came out, the Fourth Master arranged a few more children to say that someone had picked up gold, silver and jade in the ditch. In this way, they could not believe it, especially the poor people."

"Wonderful!" Yinzhen's eyes lit up. If the confusion is successful, the projects that dug the ditches will inevitably be stopped by the people, and the ditches in the entire capital will also be dug into pieces. Then I will find someone to impeach them, hehe.

Wu Sidao reminded in a deep voice, "Fourth Master, this is the worst strategy. The deterioration of the water ditch will inevitably lead to a commotion in the capital. The emperor was furious and would definitely investigate it strictly. Once the situation is not inconsistent, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Yinzhen's face darkened, and he felt happy again, "Sir, have any clever plans?"

"This costs money." Wu Sidao sighed lightly, "In such a huge capital, there are many major issues related to people's livelihood. They can renovate the ditch, build garbage stations, and public toilets. Can the Fourth Master and the Prince repair the streets and build academic museums widely. One way is to win the hearts of the people and the other way is to capture the hearts of scholars. These two measures can at least be equal to the Eighth Master."

Yinzhen frowned, "This is a good idea, but where can we get so much money? I can't count on my second brother."

The West Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

Yinsi kowtowed to Kangxi respectfully. After the ceremony, Kangxi asked gently: "Does his body improve?"

Yinsi replied carefully, "Go back to the emperor, the imperial physician said that he would recover as before after resting for more than a month."

"Well, the illness is like getting rid of silk, and it's not urgent. Respect the doctor's advice to rest." Kangxi changed his mind, "In recent days, the capital has been one of the few lively. This garbage station, public toilet, renovation of ditches, planting trees and other measures to improve the environment of the capital and benefit the people of the capital are your actions?"

Yinsi had already expected on the way to the palace that Kangxi suddenly summoned him for this matter. Since the construction started, he had already made plans. The fourteenth brothers had both ideas and money. This contribution could not be erased, and he did not dare to erase it. Otherwise, what would the brothers think of him in the future? Who would like to follow a master who is greedy for me and jealous? What's more, he is still recuperating in the mansion, so he can't make the case.

"Returning to Emperor Ah, this matter was decided by the 14th brother when he returned to Beijing. He also took out a share of the 'Four Great Heng' as funding. The specific matter was handled by the Ninth brother and the Tenth brother. The son minister was just a compliment."

It was indeed the work of the Four Fourteenth, and he took out a share of the "Four Great Hengs". The kid only had four shares in his hands, but he was so generous. He could only take 500,000 yuan at one move. Kangxi was also secretly shocked and asked, "It will cost so much money?"

Yinsi replied respectfully, "Return to the emperor, the fourteenth brother said that this matter not only concerns people's livelihood but also our own safety. If the capital is clean, it will not be easy to breed plague. Since it is necessary to do it, it must be done perfectly and not lose the royal face. He also said that if you have the remaining money, repair the streets."

This temperament is somewhat similar to himself. Kangxi was quite pleased to think that he originally thought it was just a matter of people's livelihood, but he didn't expect that it was involved in preventing the plague. This is government affairs. It is hard for Lao Si to see far, see thoroughly, and think carefully. Thinking of the recent secret report about Lao Si, he was not only a little funny, but this guy actually walked to Xuzhou with a group of royal family members, which was really a bit fucked. Thinking of this, Kangxi became relaxed and smiled, "Why do you deliberately hide such a kind act that is beneficial to the country and the people?"
