This time, the prince is no longer in charge of the house guard, but the fourth, fifth, seventh, and fourteenth men each take charge of their own stall, and take the thirteenth and fourteenth to run errands.
This was also expected by Yinti. In terms of checks and balances, Yinti would have done the same thing. However, it was a good thing not to worry about Su Wei. Prince Zhi could spend more time on his son.
However, the plan did not change quickly. Kangxi no longer liked his sons and took his grandsons with him. He had to take them with him when he saw the farmland and when he met local officials. Even when he entered Baoding, his grandsons were with the emperor.
Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen feel a little sad, but do you think your uncle wants to compete with his nephew for favor? He may not be able to win...
He could not take care of his son. Apart from being called by Kangxi during the day, joining in the fun when meeting ministers, and asking about farm matters when looking at the farmland, Yinti kept in touch with his brothers.
"Thank you big brother!" Yinzhen was rarely so happy. "My Honghui survived this disaster, thanks to big brother remembering Mr. Hong and the others. Otherwise, the imperial doctor wouldn't be able to remember the problem of Guo Fenghou."
"What's there to thank you for? I just want to find more people to show my children. Nothing is better than anything else." No matter how powerful people are, they are all the same powerless when facing the disease. Yin Tiyuan also
He is not someone who sells his child's life.
Yinqi was also beside him and said, "It was said that our Hongsheng was also sick. The whole house was shocked. Later we found out that it was a cold. The most annoying thing is that this kid is quite happy because he is sick and doesn't have to go to school!"
"I think the child looks like you!" Prince Chun, who was accompanying him this time, laughed loudly. "When we were young, we relied on the Queen Mother to protect us, and we often skipped classes, but the master couldn't catch us."
Yinzhen shook his head and smiled and said, "I really can't catch you when you are a master. I am embarrassed to catch you. But children are all the same. Reading is so boring. Last time, Honghui asked his mother, why is hunting so fun and practicing in the palace?
Riding and shooting is not fun? His mother-in-law didn’t know how to answer this question.”
Riding and shooting was also practiced repeatedly in the beginning, not to mention that the emperors and grandchildren were no longer as comfortable as they were at that time. The rigid time requirements and fixed homework made it normal for the children to find it boring.
When the princes get together, they actually talk about the same things as ordinary people. It's just about children, daily life, experiences and raising a family. But because of their special status, everything they talk about will be a little special.
"I heard that business is easy to do in the south. I'm planning to ask my servants to go to the south to have a look." Yinqi said, "Just relying on the shop and the farm..." He shook his head, "The children are getting older, even the clan elder brother
There is a plan, but the government also needs to prepare some things."
"Hey, I heard that Jiangning Weaving has a lot of business there." Ful Hulun said, "I'm not saying let the brothers get involved in that, we can't get involved in his business. But the Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing errands for Khan Ama, so we will follow
Let’s have some soup at the main office.”
Yinti secretly laughed in his heart beside him. Yinti told Ful Hulun this path, and also told him that he could do it with his other brothers. Without him, the most stable relationship in the world is to have enough affection and
There are enough benefits.
Cao Yin's Weaving Mansion undertook the business of exporting fabrics from Jiangnan Port. Even though the princes could not directly intervene, the upstream and downstream industries, such as investment in raw materials for weaving, investment in voyage caravans, or the sale of Western products to the capital
, and specialties from the north are sold to the south, and they can get a foothold in them.
This business was originally done by Mingzhu, and later it was given to Yinti. The route, manpower, and channels were all more than 20 years old. It was enough to recruit the princes to do business together and get rid of this group of elder brothers who were not very popular. No, it’s these unconventional brothers, the fourth brother, who understands.
If Yinzhen remembers correctly, two years earlier, Yinzhen had sent people to the south to purchase goods and had been involved in this kind of business. Of course, the fourth master was involved in the protection of officials, coercion and inducement, and reselling.
No wonder, as the emperor, Yinzhen said that he knew his subordinates very well. This kind of collusion between officials and businessmen was the best opportunity to expose their respective needs. Strictly speaking, through this, we can also see that the fourth child’s gameplay is better than the others. Much higher. When the brothers only wanted to grab a shop in the capital, they had already set their sights on further places.
Yinyou and Yin'er were also interested in this business. Lao Qi especially thanked King Chun for being willing to take him to play. Yinti looked on with a smile. The manpower and channels belonged to Prince Zhi, and Ful Hulun stepped forward to help him. Pulling people in is not attractive to anyone, especially Kangxi.
Yinti has two plans, but no matter which one, he needs to keep a low profile during this period of time. He has not forgotten what Kangxi said when he liquidated Yinti, "Always make use of my grace to achieve your own merits."
In fact, Yinreng just wanted to show that "military medals are always half of those of Yuqing Palace". This is not too much. Otherwise, where did the prince's political achievements come from? Isn't this what Kangxi did for so many years? But once it is liquidated, it will be an invasion. The crime of the emperor’s meritorious service.
With Yin Jian in front, Yinti decided to keep his tail between his legs to be safe.
But that's not to say that the situation of myself, the "only prince among the princes", is completely bad. At least this time I accompanied him and gave Yinti many more gifts than before... Everyone who came laughed with me, "Please accept it, the prince." "
Yinti wondered if they were used to giving gifts to Yinreng, but they didn't even hide them. They gave them to every prince, but the ones given to Yinti were extra generous. Don't ask Yinti how he knew.
There are a lot of good things, such as calligraphy and painting, jades, antiques such as Han Dynasty tiles, etc. There are many varieties. Co-authoring and accepting "gifts" is also a major source of income expansion. Being an official is great, as being an official has power and money.
Prince Zhi sighed at his residence and said, "Did your son see that these dirty officials are richer than the royal palace in Beijing?"
Yinti didn't originally intend to let his son see this kind of thing. How old is Honghan? What if he feels that his outlook on life is completely ruined and he hates the world! Then he realized that he really underestimated this child. He actually talked to him seriously. Yinti analyzed the mentality of the gift-giving officials.
"My son thinks that some of them just want to please you, and some of them have ulterior motives and want to give gifts in exchange for comfort." Hong Han said thoughtfully, "There are also people who follow the trend. Even his colleagues are giving gifts, so he has no choice but to not give them."
"...How do you know all this?" Yinti looked at him in surprise.
Hong Han said innocently, "When you were not at home, there were people in the mansion who gave you gifts. Besides, there were too many people coming to our house to give gifts for my mother's birthday two years ago. My son and sister copied the gift list, and my sister said, Some of them have been giving gifts to our house all the time, and they never miss the New Year. Others only give them to us when there are important events in the house, and in the end they just look at others and show no sign of bad gifts."
"My son has taken a closer look and found that they are all members of a wealthy family with titles and high-ranking officials. Since they rely on themselves, they are naturally more indifferent to the banner owner." Hong Han finally concluded, "After that, I realized that being worldly is also a matter of knowledge.
."
Looking like this, Yinti shook his head and smiled. He never expected that his son was quite shrewd. Anyway, it is always a good thing to understand the world. If you understand human feelings, you will know that people have seven emotions and six desires, and many things will be derived from this.
What kind of principles and attitude one should have toward others and oneself depends on each person's experience and cultivation.
"You Hanmafa brought you with you, what did you teach you?" Yinti hugged Honghan and asked with a smile.
Speaking of this, Hong Han was also a little confused. "There is nothing special about Khan Mafa. My cousins and I are all around Khan Mafa. He teaches us how to read in the evening and talks about farming during the day." He tilted his head.
"Occasionally Khan Mafa lets his son read memorials."
"Aren't you going to let Hongxi, Hongqing and the others read it?"
"No." Hong Han thought carefully, "Brother DeShou may have done it, but others probably haven't. Because my son heard Brother DeShou say something about the memorial, and it sounded like he had done it."
"...Okay, read it carefully in your Khanma's place. Well, don't tell others about the content of the memorial." Yinti said, "Do you remember what Ama told you? If the minister is not secretive, he will be harmed, and if the king is not secretive, he will be ruined.
minister."
"My son knows."
He stayed in Baoding Mansion for several days, and Kangxi took his grandchildren with him during all the operations. In the past, he only had a relatively clear impression of Hong Han. He was good at reading, riding, and shooting. The child seemed to have a good personality, and played well with the sixteenth elder brother.
In the past, Kangxi kept Deshou and Hongxi with him more often. They were both smart and clever children, otherwise Kangxi would not look down on him. When he called Honghan to his side and the grandfather and grandson spent a little time together, he
I found that Honghan is a very interesting child.
Hong Han didn't talk much, but as Yin Ti's son, he almost perfectly replicated Yin Ti's curiosity. Because Kangxi found that the child was also very interested in and knowledgeable about Western clocks and watches.
When asked about it, Honghan said shyly, "My brother Hongyu likes it very much, and my grandson only knows a little bit about it."
Not only Western clocks, medicines, firearms, etc., it can be seen that Hong Han often saw these things when he was at home. But what satisfied Kangxi was that Hong Han did not use these things as tools to show off. If no one asked
He, he won't take the initiative to mention it.
It is human nature to be vain and show off. Not to mention a child, even an adult, who cannot help but show off his knowledge and knowledge when the emperor is asking questions, thinking that this can gain the emperor's attention.
yes.
Regardless of whether it was his innate talent or his upbringing, Kangxi was quite satisfied with Honghan. Then, he began to criticize the prince. Kangxi called Yinti over, pointed to the memorial that Prince Zhi had given before leaving the capital, and began to make a speech
own dissatisfaction.
"The memorial I asked you to write about the flag affairs was too biased." Kangxi criticized seriously, "You only wrote about the situation of the blue flag. Could it be that I asked you about the inside story of the flag? I asked you to write it.
The situation of the Eight Banners flag affairs.”
This matter was received by Yinti less than three days before leaving. He was only familiar with the Xianglan Banner, so he had to use the Xianglan Banner as an example. He had to find the time to explore the situation of the entire Eight Banners.
However, Yinti has learned something. When the old emperor lectures others, you should bow your head and listen obediently. Don't make unnecessary excuses. If you have to speak, just say that you will change.
