[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Chapter 255

The household department is in charge of the country's land, wealth, disaster relief and various civil affairs, etc.

The Ministry of Households is different from the Ministry of Rites. It has 1 divisions, which are spread all over the country and are divided according to geographical location. In the general office of the capital, there are Fengxiang Office, Nei Cang, Si Wu Office, and Yin Yin Office ([-] ).

Generally speaking, the affairs of the household department often overlap, and often a servant has to manage both land tax and finance.

The two Household Ministers of the Manchu and the Han are in charge of the overall situation, and there are a total of four servants from the left and right of the Manchu and Han, and the division of labor is complicated.

In the memorial written by Chen Tingjing, it is written that the division of the household department is conducive to clarifying the responsibilities of each department. The management of farming is only responsible for agricultural affairs, and the management of finance is only responsible for the management of wealth. Whenever money needs to be transferred, there is an intermediate application process. Although it is troublesome After a while, there will never be a situation where one person monopolizes two things, covering the sky with one hand, and it can also prevent the possibility of officials of various ministries filling their pockets.

Make the finance of the household department more transparent and fair, and echo Chen Tingjing's way of being an official.

Some people come to the Ministry of Finance because there is a lot of money here, and some people become officials because they have a higher level of spiritual pursuit.

As for offending people?

Mr. Chen is not afraid of offending others. If he had been cowardly, Kangxi would not have let him investigate the case back then.

Seeing Chen Tingjing's memorial, Kangxi could only blame him and said to Yinfeng: "Look at you, Mr. Chen was so scared that he wanted to be transferred from the household department. Once the household department is divided into three, wouldn't there be three more ministers?" Twelve servants? Do you know that if this matter continues, everyone in the rest of the ministry will be in danger, and the servants of Shangshu will go everywhere, how many people will hate Chen Tingjing to death?"

Yinfeng: "There are more and more servants in the Shangshu. Isn't it good to have a clear division of functions?"

Well, of course, it is a great thing for Kangxi. The left and right courtiers are to assist him in governing the country, and they can operate more clearly. The power is still dispersed, and it is the concentration of power for the emperor.

"When there are more ministers, there will be more workers. Mr. Chen has been working overtime for several months, and he only comes home after dark every day."

Kangxi secretly said: I don't even look at who caused it.

Yinti was thoughtful: "This memorial was written by Mr. Chen. Everyone in the court knows that Mr. Chen and the crown prince are at odds."

That was when seeing the crown prince, he avoided it like seeing a plague god. As soon as the crown prince appeared, Chen Tingjing, who was originally amiable, pulled his old horse's face down.

Yinfeng only asked Khan Ama's attitude, and the division of the Ministry provided more positions, so that those who should do the work would work, and everyone would move and not be idlers, so he asked Khan Ama, as the emperor, whether he could block things and resist Can the old aristocrats from the Eight Banners be able to suppress the opposition from the court party members who have been invaded?

With Chen Tingjing rushing forward and taking the blame, if Khan Ama can protect him, he will agree to his proposal, and let Yinzhi and Yinzhen both come to the household department, plus the prince, that is the weight of the three princes. On the top, it is definitely enough for the courtiers to see the emperor's determination.

Yinzhen said: "Didn't anyone stand up and object when the Ministry of Rites was divided before?"

"Of course there are, and there are still people who scold Master Sha for being cowardly behind his back. They don't even think that Master Sha is about to lose his leg in such a hurry!"

Kangxi: "..."

Not only Sha Cheng broke his leg in a hurry, but officials from the Ministry of Rituals also broke his leg in a hurry. Many people came to the memorial to complain.

Later, the Ministry of Rites was divided, and many of the officials in the Ministry of Rites were promoted. Inside the Ministry of Rites, many people were happy to see their success.

Yinti said: "The Ministry of Rites is different from the Ministry of Households after all. The Ministry of Households is a department with real power and involves too much."

Yinfeng retorted: "It is because there are too many involvements that it is necessary to define its functions clearly. Is it possible for people to have the opportunity to form partisans? Now split up in advance, and then the import expo will be staffed, so that we can concentrate on making a lot of money for the treasury! "

The eldest brother and the prince started arguing. The two seemed to be arguing, but they always had the feeling of singing a double reed.

Yin Yun was thoughtful: Is it an illusion?

Yin Zhi had an expression of "I've seen it through", and he said: "If Khan Ama agrees with this proposal, I am willing to give it a try. The establishment of the new department will definitely have many tasks, and there must be many opportunities for sharpening."

Kangxi waved his hand and separated Yinti and Yinreng: "Okay, okay, what is the quarrel, I have already thought about it, and I will call the two ministers of the household department, and I will talk to them about the plan in detail. .”

Yinfeng blinked, seeing that he seemed to agree, he laughed happily.

Kangxi put on a tiger face and asked, "What have you been up to lately?"

Yinxuan also looked at him with strange eyes.

Yinzhen and Yinzhi were at a loss: what did the second brother of the prince do?

Yinfeng said in a daze, "No, besides this, I didn't do anything."

Kangxi raised his voice: "I didn't do anything, why have all the memorials to impeach you from Yushi disappeared? Did you threaten Yushi?!"

Yinfeng choked, and said in disbelief: "Is this kind of person in your mind, son? Obviously, the censors asked son to persuade him to fulfill the agreement."

He, Balabala, said that all the ministers put pressure on him and complained, and he was extremely wronged: "Anyway, it's my son's fault!"

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly in embarrassment: "This is their fault, not your fault."

Everyone knows that the prince was in a dilemma before, and Kangxi is not blind, and Yinfeng can see how much effort he has put in for this.

Seeing that the prince was wronged, he couldn't bear to comfort the prince face to face, so he just waved them away: "Go, the courtiers are coming soon, I still have to summon someone, you go back by yourself first."

Yin Mo and Yin Zhi looked at each other, knowing it clearly.

The second brother of the prince was pretending to be wronged. If he was really wronged, he wouldn't hold back and show his wronged expression, and would have jumped up long ago.

So I came to the conclusion: Khan Ama really doted on the prince...

Before she knew it, Yinzhen was already four months old, and she was able to babble smoothly, and opened her mouth to slobber her chin.

He resisted drinking milk, but he was so worried about Concubine De, she changed several wet nurses for him in a row, and whenever an elderly woman tore off her clothes to feed him, she always screamed and protested.

Concubine De was worried: "If Wen Shi doesn't want to drink milk, he won't be able to grow up healthy, and his body will starve to death if it continues like this."

Yinzhen: Hurry up and go back to death, and reincarnate again!

He endured a whole day without breastfeeding, and his stomach was growling with hunger. Concubine De burst into tears, and invited the imperial physician to see him, but the imperial physician was helpless, so she began to cry and sat in front of him with a veil Crying, crying so hard that one's heart is broken.

"My mother is gentle, why did she get a strange disease just after she was born!"

Yinzhen: "..."

Amount of mother.

With a blank face, she babbled and stretched out her hand to Concubine Gou De's face, leading the child to be ignorant and innocent, and to get close to her.

Concubine De froze for a moment, stretched out her hand to hold her little hand, joy and pity in her heart, when she thought of her refusing to eat, her health would get worse and worse, and she would not eat even after force-feeding, she cried even more fiercely.

Yinzhen turned away his face, struggling strongly in his heart, and waited for the next breastfeeding time to be honest, closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

He comforted himself: Didn't the fourth child come here like this back then, he must have been in such a mess!

Concubine De's gloomy mood suddenly cleared up, and seeing her "eating big mouthfuls", her body was in great shape, she burst into laughter.

"This kid, gobbling it up, is obviously very hungry."

When he was young, whether it was a little princess or a little elder brother, the care he received was the same, nothing more than eating and drinking, and Yinzhen couldn't control that much, because he spent most of his time in uncontrolled sleep .

Until he heard Er Niang's slip of the tongue: "I originally thought that if Wen Shi still had difficulty eating like now, I would try giving her a bottle to drink milk after she was six months old. Now it seems that it is unnecessary. .”

And things like milk bottles?Doesn't he need to drink human milk anymore?

When Yinzhen heard this, he didn't like to eat anymore.

Concubine De almost didn't worry about dying.

Yinzhen showed extreme dislike when the nanny came, and signaled that he was hungry, kept smacking his mouth, and the maid asked cautiously: "Madam, it seems that the little princess doesn't want to drink human milk!"

Concubine De hesitated for a while, looked at Wen Shi who was like a big fat doll, and sighed: "We Wen Shi are all hungry and thin, that's all, go get a feeding bottle and make some milk powder."

The milk brewed from the milk powder is called real milk!

It smells like goat's milk, and it's a little sweet, but it's too sweet for Yinzhen. The only bad thing is that he doesn't have enough strength, and it takes a lot of effort to suck it.

He gulped down half of the bottle, his head was already sweating, he was going to drink up all the milk powder with all his vigor, which amused Concubine De.

"Oh, I really like to eat!"

"The prince's invention of the baby bottle is really useful."

Yinzhen: "..."

The milk in the mouth suddenly loses its fragrance.

He was thinking about what Concubine De had said, Concubine De left him behind and went to welcome the two children.

Yin Zuo's bluffing voice came: "Emiang, my fourth brother and I came to see my sister!"

Concubine De doted on her second son who had suffered from surgery since he was a child. Hearing his voice, the corners of her mouth could not help but smile. It was also Yin Zuo who was always lively and playful. addiction.

To Yinzhen, Concubine De also had a pleasant face, and welcomed the two of them in, asking for warmth for a while.

Yinzuo was the focus of attention, and Yinzhen also received a lot of caring and greetings, which made Princess Yinzhen who was lying on the bed and listened to her uncomfortable.

I hate this fourth child!She was born a few years earlier, and she won over her mother!

Concubine De asked them: "How is the study in the study room? Is Yinzuo still lazy? Have your grades declined recently?"

Yin Zuo: "How can it be, my son just scored [-] points!"

Yin Mo nodded: "Well, [-] points in the make-up exam."

Concubine De's teeth were itchy, she poked Yin Zuo's head, and said angrily, "I want to fool Er Niang again, if it weren't for your fourth brother watching, your academic performance will always be at the bottom, fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother are better than you , aren't you ashamed?"

Concubine De has a clear mind when it comes to studies, and Yinzhen wants to take care of it. She is a strong supporter. She is a woman who doesn't know so much, and she is always loving. The child must not be raised and abandoned, so there is only one eldest son to watch over. .Even if he is not raised under her lap, as long as his heart is still toward his younger brother, then his heart is toward himself.

So every time Yin Zuo came back to play truant, saying that the fourth brother forced him to endorse, that the fourth brother always stared at his grades like a king of hell, Defei didn't respond to a word, and replied, "You should let your fourth brother Take good care of you!"

Yinzuo went to tease his little sister, he lay on the edge of Yinzhen's cradle bed, holding a rattle and turning around in front of Yinzhen: "Wen Shi, I am your Liugege, I want to call Liugege."

Yinzhen glanced at the silly sixth brother, closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to the sound of the rattle like a magic sound.

The sound of thump, thud, thump became quieter after a while, Yinzhen opened his eyes, and actually hated the fourth child appearing in front of him the most, and pulled a meaningful smile at him: "Emiang, Wen is really pretending to sleep, She is disliking sixth brother for making noise."

Concubine De smiled and said: "Wen Shi is at an age where he loves to sleep, and he fell asleep again after waking up and playing for a while."

Yin Mo took a closer look: "Let me see if she drools?"

Yin Zhen resented him, waving his small fist with open teeth and claws, and softly slapped Yin Zhen's cheek, which was warm and fleshy, like cotton candy to the touch.

Yin Mo froze for a moment, then touched his face.

Yin Zuo felt very hurt: "Ah, why does my younger sister like fourth brother more?!"

"Look at your loud voice, it will scare Wen Shi, if you keep your voice down, she will like to play with you," Concubine De asked them: "It's almost lunch time, do you want to stay for lunch?"

"Eat, eat, my son wants to eat mutton skewers, sprinkle some cumin and make it spicy, and also eat fried chicken cutlets, which should be garlic-flavored."

Yinzhen: "Chili pepper is irritating. Last time I ate it and I still had diarrhea. Don't agree to him, Erniang."

"Fourth brother, you tear me down again, I will fight with you!—"

Yinzhen rolled his eyes angrily, the more popular the fourth child became, the sadder he felt.

Seeing him so angry, Yin Mo felt comfortable.

"Wen Xian will go to the study room next year to study with other princesses. If Erniang is afraid that she won't get used to it, why don't she take advantage of this year to teach her some handicrafts. The first year's homework is relatively easy. Do handicrafts and learn to read. Just fine."

Concubine De responded with a smile, she thought that Yinzhen had been staring at Wen Shi with a "longing look" on his face, and thought that he loved this little sister, so she hugged the solid Wen Shi and put him on the front seat. On zhen's legs.

Yinzhen stiffened his back and looked up at his mother in disbelief.

Yin Mo:? ? ?

"Play with your sister, it won't take much effort to hold her like this," Concubine De played with Princess Yinzhen, and nodded his little nose: "Be good~"

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then quickly recalled it, and suggested with a smile on his face: "When my sister's hair grows longer, I want to braid my sister's hair."

Concubine De said: "You come here often, so you have time to develop a relationship with my sister."

Yinzhen: Isn't the fourth child raised under the name of Concubine Tonghuang, how can he run at both ends without any scruples? !

Yinzhen nodded, and glanced at Yinzhen with strange eyes, which made him shudder, and he smiled and said: "My son must come here often. This time when my son comes, Tong Eniang asked her son to bring you a message." , May I ask when your body will be able to take care of you, there are three missing one!"

Concubine De thought for a while, feeling a little itchy, but seeing that she hadn't fully recovered after giving birth, she hurriedly replied: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'll go early next month."

Three missing one, what is three missing one?

What is this code? !

Yinzhen is unwilling to accept the reality: the fourth child's upright and stinking temper, what kind of means did he use to make Erniang and Concubine Tong live in harmony? !

Here Yinzuo is still adding to the confusion: "Pfft, Er Niang, the fourth brother has a unique skill of braiding, and he practiced braiding for Jingba."

Yinzhen didn't think about anything, so she cried first.

In my life, do I have to bear the humiliation under the shadow of the fourth child?God blame me!
