The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

Following the classification of the memorials, the new early dynasty system was also proclaimed. Since the new year is about to be sealed, the new system will not be implemented until the opening of the new year.

Most people look forward to this very much. After all, no one wants to get up in the middle of the night every day, shivering and waiting for half the night, just to be a wooden stake in the Qinzheng Hall for half a day-it is too much trouble.

It’s just that no matter what, while some people are in favor, there are bound to be people who oppose it. For example, the new memorial system, although the confidentiality and efficiency have been greatly improved, but some people will inevitably complain about trouble, especially if every official is still You need to learn how to grade—for example, a county magistrate thinks something bigger than the sky, but when it comes to the top, it may be a small thing as big as a sesame mung bean, but urgently, the grade is determined by the person who wrote the booklet. If you randomly set the most urgent and most important, wouldn't even Long Live Lord be alarmed?

The same new early court system also makes some people dissatisfied. Usually in the court, as long as you want to, you can get involved in anything, like or vote against, and you can also show your face in front of Long Live God.But if the system is restructured, many things will be a foregone conclusion by the time I know it. Doesn't it make me seem too useless? ——Although in the morning court on weekdays, the most frequently spoken words are the three words "subordinates", but that can also show a sense of presence!

But in the final analysis, there are still many people who agree. As for those who disapprove, they were refuted with the sentence "If you are dissatisfied with the results, you can write a note to object."

Writing notes objected?So forget it?

But when it comes to the sense of presence, everyone can't help but think of the new crown prince. Although this prince has never been in the early court, but the sense of presence is really strong!

Not counting the riots in the Qianqing Palace last year, when he was still a county king, he changed the six courts into seven; he only went to the court once, and the muddy road that tossed the dead for a mile turned into Spacious and flat concrete road; as soon as the matter of setting up the prince was mentioned, everyone's salary was increased by more than five times, and it was even more serious after the official canonization-the rules of turning up and going up were all changed by him.

But fortunately, most of them are reformed in good places. From this aspect, maybe this master is not bad as a prince?

Just thinking about this for a while, I was immediately slapped in the face - give birth to a child and be free?What are you doing?Absolutely not!

Especially those Manchurian nobles, the voice of opposition almost lifted the roof of Qinzheng Palace: what a joke, the slaves bought will live and die naturally, and the children and grandchildren are all their own!Why do you want to help the slaves raise their children, and when they grow up, they slap their ass and run away, what is the reason in the world?

On the first day of Kangxi's morning, he had a chance to go out. On the second day, when Yinzuo went to report in the morning, his book case was full of notebooks. Kangxi raised his chin and gloated: "You can read it yourself!"

This is the first time that Yinzuo's desk has more notes than his.

Yin Zuo sat down honestly: You know it without looking at it, it must be a uniform negative vote.

The abolition of the lowly status system is fine, and almost no one opposes it, but the two items of selling one's body and having children at home have been criticized bloody.

In the end, family law and family law cannot arbitrarily take human life, but no one dares to speak out clearly, but to put it euphemistically, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Seeing Yinzuo sitting down and reading the book depressed, Kangxi also lowered his head and went about his own business.

Since the sorting and processing of the documents, Kangxi's daily workload has been greatly reduced. Every day, he first handles the most urgent and most important matters carefully, and then reads the most urgent and secondary, the second urgent and most important, and the second urgent and secondary in order, and then looks at the cabinet. As for the handling of opinions, if there is no problem, it will be accepted. For the rest, that is, most of the notes, you don't have to read them so carefully, just browse them quickly.

There are also the notebooks for inviting An, Xie En, etc., which were not put on the table directly, and they were just for fun when he was free and free.

But in an hour, Kangxi finished reading the excerpts, and came over to watch Yinzuo's excitement with a teacup in hand, and found that although this kid was reading quickly, his attitude was quite serious.

"What is this for?"

"reading notes."

Thanks to the articles of this era, they all have a fixed format, and you don't need to read the entire article to know the general meaning of the paragraph.Yinzuo excerpted the reasons for these people's opposition one by one. If there are similarities, just count the number of people. Some wonderful excerpts are specially picked out for appreciation.

Kangxi was interesting to read, but saw Yinzuo opened a booklet, but threw it aside without even looking at it, and went to open another one. He couldn't help being curious, and picked up the booklet he had thrown away to read.

Sure enough, it was another record for Yinzuo to move into Yuqing Palace and marry the Crown Princess.

This kind of notebook has been written every day since the day he was canonized, and the ending of these notebooks is the same - keep it in the middle and not publish it.

Kangxi also knew that procrastination like this was not a problem, but it was impossible for this son to live in Yuqing Palace. According to him, there was a female ghost in Yuqing Palace.

Who doesn't know that Yin Zuo is most afraid of female ghosts?In Yuqing Palace, there was more than one court lady who was tortured and killed by Yinreng, not to mention Yinzuo, even he himself felt disgusted, but apart from Yuqing Palace, how could there be any place in the palace worthy of his status?

But it's really outrageous to live in a different brand of the county prince's mansion like this.

Kangxi thought: "I still have to build another East Palace..."

"Don't," Yinzuo hurriedly said: "The rules in the palace are very strict, and it's so uncomfortable to live in. My son is living well outside. Why are you building the East Palace? Even if you fix it, your son won't be able to stay."

He said again: "When the spring begins, the residences of the Empress Dowager, Huang Ama, Erniang and their son will all have to be overhauled once. When the time comes, they will be repaired beautifully, and the specifications will go up?"

Kangxi frowned: "Your place is too small."

"It's not too small!" Yinzuo said: "The son is alone, the bigger the house, the more deserted..."

As soon as the words deserted and clear came out, Yinzuo felt bad, but before he came back, Kangxi had already said: "The seventh and eighth children who are younger than you are already married, but you still have a woman by your side. None, when are you going to get married?"

"Huang Ama, please don't force me!" Yinzuo threatened: "The woman Erniang gave me last time pretended to be a female ghost and almost scared my son to death, and he still can't sleep well at night... you want to force him again. I, the scared son who turns around, has a shadow in his heart, but I really can't marry a wife in this life."

He smiled flatteringly and said: "My son is still young now, when he gets older, maybe he will want a woman without being urged by Huang Ama, don't worry."

"London with women doesn't have to be at night..."

Yinzuo glared and said, "You did that just for the cub and the woman, Huang Ama, what do you think of your son?"

Not daring to stay any longer, he hurriedly packed up the excerpted papers, stuffed them into his bosom, and said, "Huang Ama, my son is back!"

"What's the matter? Don't eat lunch today?" It's already lunch time, and Kangxi, who has lunch with his son every day, is a little uncomfortable.

"You can't stay close to the family when you eat!" Yinzuo said: "My son is looking for the fourth brother!"

Kangxi knew that he was going to ask Yinzhen for advice, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, as long as you can keep half of the ministers silent, I will approve you."

-

Yin Zuo went a bit late, Yin Zhen had just finished his meal and everything was still confiscated, although Yin Zuo didn't care, how could Yin Zhen let him eat his leftovers?Ask the people below to quickly send another table for him to use, while he himself looks at what Yinzuo copied.

"It's not very difficult to get them not to object." Yinzhen read each item one by one, and said, "First, we need to add one item. The same goes for the heirs of criminal slaves and official slaves."

Yin Zuo hummed, expressing his understanding.

Not everyone can be an official slave or a criminal slave, and most of them are offenders.The so-called unforeseen circumstances, people have misfortunes and blessings, these officials, who can guarantee that their lives will be smooth and smooth?If this is added, for the sake of future generations, they have to think about it.

"Why are you a vegetarian?" Yinzhen looked at the things while paying attention to Yinzuo, put down the things in his hand, picked up a piece of fish for him, and said: "This is not fishy or greasy, and it doesn't have any thorns. Try it. Now you It's getting thinner and thinner, don't you eat with Huang Ama every day? Huang Ama doesn't care about you?"

"Be vegetarian and live longer!" Yinzuo laughed, but he still ate the fish, took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "What else?"

Yinzhen pondered: "Then, change the age of 15 to 12."

"12 years old...isn't it too young?"

Yinzuo wants to add this one, so that these people who were sold as children, or even born as slaves, will have a chance to choose again when they grow up, but what can a 12-year-old child know?

"Twelve years old is not young," Yinzhen said: "Children from poor families start earning money to support their families at the age of eleven or twelve. At this time, they know everything they need to know. Moreover, if they are older, it will be difficult to implement down."

He paused, and said: "Everyone's servants usually start working in the mansion when they are seven or eight years old. At the age of 15, it is time to use them. The confidants who are so easy to cultivate will fly away after flapping their wings. Who would want to? And 15 years old Young servants who are over [-] years old will inevitably come into contact with some private things, such as Miss's personal belongings, birthmarks on her body, etc. If they want to leave at this time, they can leave, but what if they deliberately leak these things out?"

"And change the age to 12 years old. I was too young to be of great use. At this time, I will re-sign the contract of sale. On the contrary, I can screen out those who have different intentions. The rest are voluntary servants. It is too late to start reuse now. "Yinzhen said: "For everyone in the gentry, it is nothing more than paying one more silver. They don't care about this little money, and they will not resist the imperial court's order because of this. But those who care about this little money, talk It probably doesn't matter much, so it's up to them whether they want it or not."

Yin Zuo nodded.

Yinzhen said again: "There is another point. If you can only sign the deed of sale with your own nod, and there is a chance to buy it at the age of 15, even parents will not be able to sell the child-the owner is not very willing to buy 15 years old. children under the age of

"Isn't it good that parents don't sell their children?"

Yinzhen sighed: "How many parents are willing to give up their children? Sometimes selling a child is actually giving the child a way to survive."

Yinzuo thought for a while and said: "I will open Yuyingtang in various places. If it is really impossible to support the child, send him to the Yuyingtang, and the court will raise them. When they grow up, they may study imperial examinations, become officials or petty officials, or Work in factories, work as farm laborers, etc., and then give back part of the money earned to the Foundling Hall to raise new children."

Yinzhen frowned and said, "Do you know how much it costs?"

Yinzuo said: "No matter how much money is spent, what should be done must be done."

"Then what if they need to use the money from selling their children to save their lives?"

Yinzuo said lightly: "If you want to save your life with the money from selling children, then let them die! Humans are not livestock!"

Yinzhen sighed, and said: "You can do whatever you want, but if you are 15 years old, you still have to change it to 12 years old, and when you grow up, there is a chance to redeem it. No master dares to use a slave who can leave at any time, so you must change it to 12 years old Re-sign the contract of sale at the age of two."

Yin Zuo responded unhappily, and sighed: From the beginning to the end, what must be changed must be in the interest of the buyer, and as for what violates the interest of the seller—it doesn't matter, they are powerless to resist anyway.

Yinzhen said: "Finally, the matter of not taking human life without authorization is the most difficult thing. Although the officials will not object - you put a big hat on you. If they object, it means that the family law is greater than the national law, but the order is sent to the local government. , I'm afraid that more than half of them are obedient and obedient."

Yinzuo said: "I know, how can a thousand-year-old habit be changed once? But it's better than nothing, isn't it?"

If one person in the clan is executed, if the court really arrests the patriarch and the person who did it, the whole clan will riot, and the local officials will be greatly lowered in the assessment, so for the sake of their own reputation, those officials My son will also turn a blind eye to it-anyway, most of these things are not reported, so they just pretend not to know.

After discussing some details with Yinzhen and rewriting the scriptures, Yinzuo left and returned home.

Going back to change the homely clothes, the housekeeper came in to get things done, and said: "Brother Li Lu came once in two mornings, and said that he would kowtow to the master to thank you. He knew that the master had entered the palace, so he had to wait. I persuaded you to go back. They kowtowed to your room and left some fruit and snacks. If you want to see them, master, this servant will send someone to recruit them."

Only then did Yinzuo remember that Lingpu and the members of the Yang family were executed at Caishikou yesterday, and he couldn't help but smile wryly, his sister's misfortune was caused by his own family, how could he accept their "thank you"?

Said: "Tomorrow, someone will send some snacks and money over, and tell them, the Lord knows, let them study hard and learn their skills."

The housekeeper bowed his head.

Yinzuo said again: "Everything in the capital is expensive, and their brothers have to study, and they have no income, especially Li Lu, who spends a lot of money on private schools, remember to send someone to send some money there every month."

I only have two disciples, so don't starve to death.

The next day, Yinzuo's excerpts officially appeared in the early court. Sure enough, after Yinzhen's revision, the number of opponents was greatly reduced. Although there were still some, they had met Kangxi's requirements-half of the officials were silent.

As a result, it was able to be sent to various ministries and localities in plain text.

A few days later, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the yamen was sealed, and the morning court was also closed. All the mansions were busy preparing for the New Year, but people like Yin Zuo were busy with the servants.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Yinhu finally arrived in Beijing and brought back a large sum of money. Kangxi Long was overjoyed, waved his hand, and rewarded all the officials with a penny of money for the festival—the new salary will not be implemented until the new year, and the position is not lucrative. The official is still poor and white at the moment.

Then Yinzuo took the lead and invited the brothers to the biggest restaurant in the capital to have a good time.

There are many happy events at the moment, besides Yinhu’s return, there are also Yinyu, Yinzhen, Yinyou, Yinqi, and Yinhu’s promotion to the prince. The ninth and tenth brothers are finally no longer bald brothers, but have been named Baylor. , just in time to celebrate.

After all, Yinhu is the protagonist, but Yinzuo has the highest status, and most of them talk around him, so Yinzuo grabs Yinhu and talks about Dongying.

Yinhu's trip to Dongying did not go well at the beginning. Those nobles in Dongying looked down on outsiders, especially Yinhu was young and had a good temper. Everyone ignored him, and some even Being rude to him in public at the banquet, Yinhu smiled, turned around and left.

When those people were making fun of his "weakness and incompetence", Yinhu over there had already eliminated that person's power overnight with hundreds of bursts of fire.

These people know that they are afraid.

Those Dongying people are used to the strong being respected. When they think that Yinhu is useless, no matter how much money Yinhu sends out, they don't make a sound. Now that they know how powerful Yinhu is, they immediately respect him.

The situation is opened, and things will be easier to deal with later. The bribes that should be bribed, the bribes that should be bought, and finally a place to stay - the ports are all repaired, and trade is not a problem.

Yinhu's eloquence is excellent, and these experiences he told were tortuous and moving, which made the brothers' blood boil, especially Yinxuan begged Yinzuo, if there is such a good thing again, he must be thought of.

Yin Zuo naturally responded with a smile, and Yin You and the others also started to boo, Yin Zuo laughed and scolded: "Looking at the eighth brother coming back with a full beard, you think it's fun outside, right? You must know that bullets don't have eyes! "

While chatting, Yin Zuo suddenly discovered that the old ten Yin who has always been the most interested in these things (that word was typed out in the document, but the jj disappeared, so he changed it to this instead) yawned and said with a smile: "Old man Ten What's the matter? Are you sleepy right now? What did you do last night?"

Yinju yawned again, this time even the snot and tears came down, and did not refute Yinzuo's teasing, saying: "Brothers eat first, younger brother smokes a bag of cigarettes to refresh himself."

Yinzuo said: "If you can't bear it anymore, you might as well go and take a nap for a while, or go back to the house directly. Brothers, you don't need to see outsiders."

Yinti smiled and said, "It's okay, Sixth Brother, my younger brother will feel refreshed when he smokes a bag of cigarettes."

"Then go."

After letting Yinji leave the table, they drank for a while, Yinzuo suddenly remembered Yinti's snot and tears streaming down his face, he felt uneasy, and suddenly got up and said, "I'll go and see Xiaoshi."

Turn around and walk inside.

Yinyi and the others looked at each other and got up.

As soon as Yinzuo lifted the curtain, he saw the smoke in the room, frowned slightly, but saw Yinji lying on the soft couch, swallowing clouds, as if he didn't see him coming in, his eyes were blurred, and there was a dreamy look on his face. smile.

Yin Zuo's expression changed drastically, he stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the cigarette stick, and said coldly, "What are you smoking?"

Yinyu was robbed of his things, and suddenly became furious, rushed up and knocked Yinzuo away, snatched the cigarette stick, and shouted: "What are you doing!"

Caught off guard, Yinzuo staggered a few steps when he was hit. Yinhu stepped forward to help him stand still, and said angrily, "Tenth brother! You're crazy!"

Only then did Yinbi realize that it was who she was pushing and yelling at, and the cold sweat broke out immediately, and she murmured: "I, little brother..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Zhen stepped forward with a serious face, snatched the cigarette stick, sniffed it, his expression turned cold, and said: "When did you get infected? How long have you smoked it? Are you addicted?"

"I..." Yinyu said with a dry smile, "it's not a bad thing, it's for health... It's not like I can't afford it..."

Before you could finish talking, Yin Zhen slapped his face hard, and said coldly, "If you're not afraid of death, just smoke!"

Turn around and leave.

Yinyu was completely slapped by this slap, and didn't realize it until Yinzhen left. Although she was extremely annoyed, she didn't dare to get angry in front of Yinzuo and the others. ".

Yinhu's face was not good-looking, and he shouted: "Tenth Brother, this time it's your fault, even if Fourth Brother doesn't beat you, I will beat you too! I don't care if you are addicted or not, quit now!"

"It's really not a bad thing!" Yin explained: "During the previous dynasty, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty used this...it's a medicine for health!"

Yinhu said angrily: "What kind of health-care medicine can turn people into human beings and ghosts? Do you know how many families have been ruined by this thing in Guangdong? If you don't quit, I will treat you as a younger brother." !"

"I……"

It turned out that this thing already existed at this time, and Yinzuo felt chills in his heart. Seeing that Yinqi still wanted to explain, he said lightly: "Yinyi, I will give you three months. If you can't stop after three months, I will I will ask Huang Ama to remove your name from the family tree."

He said again: "That's all for today, brothers, let's go!"
