Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

"Fourth brother, what did you say?" Yunhu asked deliberately.

Yinzhen squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

It's him?

who is he?It seems that Brother Cheap seems to know the young merchant in front of him.

Just now, he was only focused on talking to the other party, but forgot to ask the other party's name, Yun Hu said, "Yes, I haven't asked the name of the gentleman yet."

"Caomin is just a merchant, so you can't really be called a gentleman. Eighth Master, you are a poor grassman," the young merchant said politely, cupping his hands in a salute, "It's Caomin who is rude, and he hasn't given his name yet. Xiaomin's surname is Ji, His name is Zeng Yun."

Ding!

[Space reminder: Ji Zengyun, a famous water conservancy expert in the Qing Dynasty.In the 45th year of Kangxi, he became a Jinshi, and in the second year of Yongzheng, he was appointed as the deputy governor of Hedao, and Ji Zengyun was the first deputy governor of Hedao. 】

Water conservancy expert?

Although Yunxu didn't know Ji Zengyun well, the encyclopedia system is very comprehensive, showing all of Ji Zengyun's life and deeds at a glance.

However, there was a question that Yunhu couldn't understand.Logically speaking, Ji Zengyun can be regarded as a late bloomer. He was only admitted to Jinshi in the 45th year of Kangxi. Now it is only [-] years since Kangxi. Ji Zengyun is still a commoner, a merchant who sells medicinal materials. How did the fourth master Yinzhen know Ji Zengyun?

Yunyu heard it clearly, and Yinzhen said clearly, "It turned out to be him".

Yunyu's eyes moved slightly, and she secretly looked at Yinzhen carefully. Apart from saying that it was him, Yinzhen's face returned to normal, with an expression of joy and anger.

Ji Zengyun is the future water conservancy expert and the future deputy river platform. They will take a detour to the Hunhe disaster area this time. If Ji Zengyun is with them, it will be beneficial to the treatment of the Hunhe disaster victims.

Yunyu said: "Mr. Ji's eyesight has not recovered yet, remember to take medicine and rest a lot, so we won't bother you."

"Thank you Ba Ye!" Although Ji Zengyun couldn't see him, he still bowed to Yunxu repeatedly.

Yunxi and Yinzhen left the tent, Yinzhen looked back at the slightly swaying curtain, and said to Yunxu indifferently: "The eighth brother is very concerned about this Mr. Ji."

Yunxu's subtle temptation: "Isn't it what people of my generation should do to care about the sufferings of the people? It's the fourth brother. The fourth brother seems to know this Mr. Ji?"

"I don't know." Yinzhen retorted quickly, and his tone was very firm.

Yunxu raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, why did this cheap fourth brother deny it so quickly?If it was something he didn't care about, Yinzhen would not say a word according to his indifferent temperament, but now he is eager to deny it.

If you don't know it, you know it.

There is something tricky...

It seems that not only know it, but also know it very well, know it very well, and know it without letting others know it.

Although Yunhu sensed the fourth brother's "careful thinking", she didn't understand the reason.Yunxu didn't know that, in fact, his cheap fourth brother was not the current fourth prince, but the reborn Emperor Yongzheng, so just as Yunxu thought, Yinzhen not only knew Ji Zengyun, but also the future deputy Hetai, who was Yinzhen single-handedly pulled him out.

Seeing Yunxu looking at him all the time, Yinzhen asked, "Why do eighth brothers look at each other like this?"

Yun Si pretended to be false: "Fourth brother is handsome, with a dignified temperament and a dignified uprightness, which makes people yearn for him. It is natural to look at him a few more times."

Yinzhen said coldly: "Is the eighth brother so smooth-talking to everyone?"

"Fourth master, eighth master! Both masters are here!"

A slightly shrill voice came in from the side, and the two turned their heads to see that the person who came was an older father-in-law, who turned out to be Liang Jiugong, the most important eunuch around Kangxi.

The chief eunuch Liang Jiugong came over, smiled and saluted Qian'er: "My lords, the emperor summoned the injured merchants to meet him, please move to the camp of the shogunate too."

Yun Hu nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Liang."

"Hi!" Liang Jiugong was full of humility: "I'm serving the sage, the servant is beautiful in his heart, why don't we bother?"

The emperor summoned the injured merchants, and the princes and ministers gathered in the shogunate camp in the center of the camp.

Kangxi was already present, and seeing the injured merchant walk in, he said, "You don't need to bow down, tell me what's going on? I heard that you encountered refugees on the way to do business? Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, where are the refugees?"

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe?" Ji Zengyun knelt down on the ground and asked rhetorically without getting up.

Said he is decent, Ji Zengyun is indeed decent to the point of being pedantic and dead-brained, but sometimes he is "unscrupulous", such as now, he dared to question the Ninth Five-Year Master, in the eyes of others, he seemed like a desperate young man generally.

Ji Zengyun said: "Dare to ask my sage, the Hun River is flooded, and more than a thousand people have been washed away by the river alone, regardless of the injuries. Is this what you said by your sage, 'the country is peaceful and the people are safe'?"

"Presumptuous!" Prince Yinfeng slapped the table and stood up, staring at him and said: "What a troublesome person, dare to be presumptuous in front of the king, slander and frame up, Hunhe is fine, how can there be any disaster? I see you I don’t want to die!”

Ji Zengyun was not afraid, and said lightly: "No one is afraid of death, and the grass people are also afraid of death. The grass people have lost their appearance in front of the king today, and they are already determined to die. Can they still tell lies?"

Yinzhen took the space mission to deal with the Hunhe disaster, and even if he didn't have this mission, Yinzhen heard that there was a disaster in the Hunhe, so he couldn't ignore it.Immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this fool is indeed offended, but I implore you, Your Majesty, to just let it go."

Kangxi squinted his eyes, he is still in his prime, and his head is not stupid, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will listen to you, but if you lie, you will be punished immediately!"

"Caomin dare not lie," Ji Zengyun knelt on the ground, his eyes were still wrapped with wound cloths, he could not see anything, and seeing nothing made him bolder, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ji Zengyun said slowly: "The Hunhe River has been in disaster for more than a month. In the spring of last month, there was abundant rain. God made a few more rains, which caused the Hunhe River to swell and flooded the farmland. The Hun River swelled and flooded non-stop, and it was out of control."

"What nonsense!"

Prince Yinreng always watched Kangxi serve dishes, and in order to please Kangxi, he always followed his wishes. Now that Kangxi had asked Ji Zengyun to come, so the prince didn't open his mouth to reprimand, but someone else was reprimanding.

Seeing someone standing up from behind the prince's banquet, Yunxu looked over, coincidentally, he was also an acquaintance, isn't this the famous talented and handsome man in Beijing, the prince's trusted minister, astronomical student Qi Sule?

Yesterday, when Qi Sule watched the stars at night, he still found the merchant who was injured by the refugees and rescued Ji Zengyun and others.

Qi Sule stood up, strode across the seat, and didn't care about his manners. His fair complexion was flushed with anger, and he scolded: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Your Majesty, this fool is obviously lying. You have won the attention of the king, and I beg you to ask questions, and you will know as soon as you ask."

Kangxi nodded without saying a word.

Qi Sule got Yunken, and turned to face Ji Zengyun. Although Ji Zengyun was a merchant and literati, he was as tall as a trainer, but Qi Sule himself was not tall, at most tall, and he stood in front of Ji Zengyun without losing his momentum. Sharply questioned: "In front of the Holy Majesty, don't lie! My official asked you, you said that the Hunhe River was hit by a disaster, and the death was more than a thousand, right?"

"Exactly."

"Oh!" Qi Sule sneered arrogantly, and said sarcastically: "It's nonsense! The muddy river is shallow, how could it be a disaster because of a few light rains in Jichun? And drown thousands of people? I can’t even make up stories! Okay, let me ask you again, even if there is a lot of rain in Jichun, but the sluices on the Hunhe River have just been completed this year, and there is too much rain to accumulate water, and less rain to open the sluices, how can it cause disasters?”

As Qi Sule spoke, his attitude became even more lofty, with his chin raised slightly, showing a smug look on his face.

For nothing else, the sluice of the Hun River was built by Qi Sule.

Coincidentally, although Qi Sule is an astronomy student now, he will also be an expert in water conservancy in the near future.

Ding!

[Space tips: Qisule, Nalashi, water conservancy experts in Qing Dynasty.In the first year of Yongzheng, he moved to the governor of the river. 】

Yunxu raised her eyebrows slightly, that is to say, in the future, both Qi Sule and Ji Zengyun will become governors of the river, one in the front and the other in the other, and Qi Sule will still be Ji Zengyun's boss...

Qi Sule was selected as an official astronomy student. His family was sheltered, and he was very interested in water conservancy since he was a child. Qi Sule designed a sluice for the Hun River. It was just put into use this year, and because of this, he was awarded a lot by Emperor Kangxi , and because of this, Qi Sule was valued by Prince Yinreng and accepted as his confidant.

This Hunhe sluice can be described as a "monument" of Qisule, sacred and inviolable.

Facing Qi Sule's questioning, Ji Zengyun's attitude was calm, without Qi Sule's arrogance and aloofness at all, and he replied in a straight line: "It is true that as your lord said, the Hun River was completed at the beginning of this year. …Your Excellency only knows one thing, but not the other, the completion of this sluice not only failed to bring happiness to the people of Hunhe River, but caused disaster!"

Qi Sule refused to accept it, and said: "I think you are just messing around!"

Ji Zengyun continued: "You must have lived in a wealthy family and never experienced the sufferings of the common people?"

"I, my officer..." Qi Sule blushed immediately when he said this.Indeed, it was confirmed by Ji Zengyun that Qi Sule was a native of Zhengbai Banner, and she was born in Banner. She entered a "noble school" to study, studied poetry and books with famous masters, and did not lack etiquette. She is a noble girl. In his eyes, he is a perfect and good man, but he lacks experience. In the past 20 years, he has been smooth and smooth without any setbacks.

"The original intention of the Hun River sluice was good, but it was also taken advantage of by greedy people," Ji Zengyun said: "There is a lot of rain and water accumulates, and when there is little rain, the sluice is opened. In this way, the local sluice man who manages the sluice becomes a local official." Lord Tu became a water tyrant. They took advantage of the convenience of the sluices and had to pay money to open the sluices. The people couldn’t pay the money, so there was no river to irrigate the fields. The good fields dried up and died, and there was no harvest. Hun River The sluices are not built for the common people, only the sluices are built, regardless of the sufferings of the people, dare to ask this lord, isn’t this just talking on paper?”

"You..." Qi Sule wanted to scold him, but he couldn't say anything, because Qi Sule had never thought that repairing the gates could also bring about disadvantages, and he really wanted to Never thought about it.

"More than that," Ji Zengyun continued: "The people have no water to irrigate the fields, and the harvest is naturally not good. They can't fill their stomachs. God just made a joke. Continuous heavy rain fell from the sky, the Hunhe River collapsed, and the sluices were washed away. High, logically speaking, even if it collapses, it is indeed not enough to drown thousands of people, but the sluice is so high that it has been accumulated for a long time, once it collapses, the people will suffer disaster!"

When he said this, he smiled bitterly: "This disaster is actually not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. After the flood, the local river platform did not organize disaster relief, and even asked the people to donate."

Qi Sule asked back: "What's wrong with donating money?"

Ji Zengyun "glanced" at the other party, and replied: "Hetai asked the people to donate, not voluntary donations, but forced donations, each person per family, fixed-point quota. And these donations are not used for Hunhe disaster relief, Hetai Relying on the convenience of his position, he secretly exchanged 60 real donations for 60 [-] silver taels."

60 real silver taels is 60 silver taels.The six-color silver taels in Ji Zengyun's mouth are melted silver taels of pure silver and cast into adulterated silver taels privately. Silver taels, full of private pockets.

In other words, 60% of the 24 taels of silver was stolen - [-]!

You know, to rescue a flood only needs 60 to 24 taels of silver, which is still a big expense.The interest-bearing silver that Guangshan Treasury lends to salt merchants every year is only [-] yuan for a whole year, and [-] yuan was stolen from the river platform in one flood, which is no small amount.

Bang!

Before Kangxi could speak, there was a sudden slapping sound, everyone was startled and looked sideways.

It turned out that Kangxi hadn't been angry yet, but someone was already angry during the banquet, and it was the reborn fourth master Yinzhen.Yinzhen is different from Kangxi's benevolence. What he hates most in his life are three things: fraud, corruption and forming a party for personal gain.

The incident of stealing silver from Hetai and gateman's blocking of transport has touched Yinzhen's back. Yinzhen's face was gloomy like the curtain of a rainstorm, and he said solemnly: "The fish and meat people are full of private pockets, and Ling Chi is not too much."

When everyone heard Ji Zengyun's statement, they felt astonished, shocked, and angry. They were very unfair, but because the Holy Majesty was in front of him, the Holy Majesty hadn't spoken yet, and the prince and others were still looking at their faces, so they didn't realize it. Yinzhen spoke first.

Kangxi was also taken aback by the sound of slapping the table. He knew that the fourth child was jealous and reticent, but he didn't expect to be so angry and majestic.

Kangxi didn't know that his son was reborn, and just like him, he had been the ninth-five-year-old and iron-fisted emperor for half his life, so he was inevitably more majestic.

Yinzhen immediately stood up, knelt on one knee and cupped his hands, and said in an unquestionable voice: "The Hunhe River is in disaster, and the people are suffering. Please ask the Holy One to change the route to the Hunhe River and pick up the dirty officials."

It's good to bring out the naughty children, but before arriving at Wutai Mountain, it became a business trip. Many officials present were unwilling.

Someone wants to refute, but has not yet come forward, Yunxu saw this scene, thought to himself, I am very bored, so I will help you, if the emperor goes to relieve the disaster in person, Hetai will not dare to make mistakes, and it is also a good thing Good thing.

Yunxu stood up gracefully, neither too fast nor too slow, just in time for the ministers who retorted, and calmly said: "Huang Ama, the gods entrusted her with a dream, I respectfully invite you to drive on Wutai Mountain. The way is just on the Hunhe River. Now I want to Thinking about it, maybe there is a destiny in the dark, if we can solve the flood of the Hunhe River smoothly, punish the corrupt officials who deceived the holy eyes, and then go to Mount Wutai, wouldn't it be auspicious and natural?"

The ancients were all superstitious, they would rather believe what they have than believe what they don’t have, and Kangxi is not immune to vulgarity. Yinzhen speaks coldly and bluntly, while Yunxi speaks softly, but in fact hides a mystery. When Kangxi heard this, it touched his heart I went, the more I think about it, the more this is the case.

Then he said, "Okay, pass on the decree and divert to the Hunhe disaster area."

As soon as Kangxi made the final decision, a small emoji with text bubbles appeared on the top of the fourth master Yinzhen's head. The little emoji patted his chest, heaving a sigh of relief, and then started circling in circles, sprinkled with pink flowers, with a super—— Look happy.

Yunxu's eyelids twitched twice, wondering if the mind-reading emoji can be changed, but I always feel that this set of emoji doesn't match the painting style of the fourth brother cheap... not very well.

Ding!
