MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 181

Rong Xin and the prince personally sent the eldest brother out of the Yuqing Palace, and then returned to the study.

"I remember you said earlier that you are going to give Jiu Ge some money to try?"

The prince nodded, took out a piece of paper from under the stack of books on the desk, handed it to her, and said, "Brother, I want to give 20,000 taels to Xiao Jiu first."

Rong Xin looked at the dense numbers on the paper, and finally found a sequence of 50,000 taels minus 20,000 vehicles, and knew that the prince must have determined it early, and he would definitely make the elder brother agree to take money out.

And she looked at the rest of the sequence and asked in confusion: "I see that you wrote that the cost of a warship is less than 50,000 taels, so what is the amount of 50,000 taels, eldest brother? Where did it come from?"

"Big brother took a trip to Shanxi and received more than 70,000 taels of filial silver from Shanxi merchants, and removed the flowers after returning to Beijing..."

Rong Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, and went to Shanxi with the elder brother to get a total of about 90,000 taels of silver. As for the empty pockets...

"I actually want to build two huge warships and go out to sea with the merchant ships of the current dynasty. If the warships can be equipped with heavy artillery, they can protect the merchant ships of the current dynasty while traveling at sea. Commissions are charged, and customs taxes can also grow.”

Rong Xin didn't know much about the ships of the Great Qingshui Division, and was confused by this piece of paper, and asked the prince: "Can I have some information on our warships, let me take a look? "

The prince took out a book, gave it to her, and said, "Yinren has studied for a long time before he knows it, so let's take a look."

Rong Xin was just looking at a warship with hundreds of thousands of materials on the fold, and after hearing what he said, he simply closed the fold and asked, "I remember the DPRK going out to sea. Is there a size limit for merchant ships?"

"Five hundred shi, the merchant ships in the south are mostly small boats of about two hundred shi, but occasionally there are large ships of thousands of shi." The prince replied, "In recent years, the policy on merchant ships has been relaxed. "

Rong Xin estimated in her mind how many tons of five hundred stone, two hundred stone, and thousands of stone were, and suddenly felt that the wind and cold seemed to be ineffective, and she had some headaches.

The prince had been ordering people to collect relevant information before, and finally had the opportunity to sue, so at this time he was quite eloquent. Neighboring countries at sea often loot merchants, and the road to the west is even more difficult and dangerous, if you want to trade for a long time, you need to shock the Quartet."

"I read Dongzhu's book a few days ago, and Dai Zi listed all the firearms he could make. I have recorded two of them in the book. On the warship, the naval forces will definitely improve."

"The cost of the cannon is very high, the big brother is very angry, and he will not want our ship to teach people to underestimate the first time we go to sea..."

Rong Xin followed the prince's words and thought, so the prince and the eldest brother profited 50 to 50%, but they did not suffer too much, and only he let the eldest brother earn it, the two of them would be possible in the future Continued cooperation.

In other words, when the prince cheats on the big brother again in the future, the big brother will be willing to jump down.

Rong Xin felt sympathy for the eldest brother, his mouth was dry for a while, he picked up the tea bowl on the table and wanted to drink.

The prince stopped her, called someone outside to bring a new pot of tea, and then complained to her: "It's good for you to be cold, and it's cold at this time, how can you drink cold tea?"

Rong Xin smiled and put down the tea bowl, "I just thought too much and forgot for a while, don't blame me."

The prince looked at her face and said, "You have lost a lot of weight in this wind and cold, so you need to make up for it."

Rong Xin responded, and after the little **** served the new tea, he took a slow sip and moistened his mouth before worrying: "According to what you think, the action is too great, I'm afraid the more But the king goes."

Merchant ships are nothing. According to the prince, it is not surprising that there are huge merchant ships available for the people to go to sea. More than that.

The prince is always making trouble for himself...

"You've counted everything, haven't you thought about it?"

The prince was silent for a long time, and his voice was a little low: "I didn't intend to hide it from Huang Ama."

Rong Xin used to think that it was not easy for the crown prince to do this, but he couldn't stop it.

"Auntie, I have been thinking, what is the limit of Huang Ama's tolerance for me?"

"That won't be tempting again and again." I don't know where the rebellious heart was raised.

"Who made me a prince, the worst outcome is better than ordinary people."

Three days later, the eldest brother gave the prince fifty thousand taels expressionlessly. After that, for a long time, the eldest brother did not have a good face when he faced the prince. I thought the two had torn their faces again.

The people above are harmonious, and the people below will be calm, and the relationship between the prince and the elder brother suddenly tense, and the ministers of the two factions also have frequent frictions.

But the two of them did this more than once. After a long time, the ministers below were also tired, and slowly began to wait and see, lest they just made a move, the wind direction changed again.

Until March, Kangxi decreed that the elder brothers who had been married would be knighted, among which the elder brother Yinzhen was the king of Zhijun, the third elder was the king of Chengjun, and the fourth elder was the king of Chengjun. Zhen, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, the sixth elder elder brother Yinzuo, the seventh elder elder brother Yinyou, and the eighth elder elder brother Yinsi are all Baylors.

At this time, together with my eighth brother who got married at the latest, he has also obtained the holy will and left the palace to open the house.

The whole face is up and down, because of Kangxi's grand decree, the atmosphere is tense, and the prince's party is the heaviest.

Prince Prince looked as usual, after all, it was already rumored that Emperor Ama wanted to seal the letter, and the Ministry of Rites had been preparing.

And he is not as turbulent as some courtiers, and even congratulates the crowned princes in a very generous way in public, without a trace of fear on his face, and does not seem to be afraid of it.

Prince with a temperament such as the fourth brother, the fifth brother, and the seventh prince, seeing him like this, his mood is relaxed.

Prince's attitude was the same as before. After congratulations, he looked at Brother Six, and reminded him as his elder brother: "Yinzuo, you made a mistake in your business last time, but Huang Ama scolded him but didn't Blame you, don't be so impulsive in the future."

The sixth brother responded, but after responding, he couldn't help but argue: "The second brother, the prince, knows, if those people hadn't obstructed me from running errands, how could I have had a conflict with them? ?"

He said "obstruction", which is actually a bit exaggerated. In fact, the old fritters in the officialdom just didn't believe in Brother Liu, so they dawdled and neglected him in action. Brother Liu was eager to achieve success, naturally Unable to bear, in the end the errand was not completed, and he was scolded, and he was always unconvinced.

Such a thing, at a young age, is youthful and vigorous, at an older age, it is incompetent.

But now his title is not affected, presumably in Kangxi's heart, he is young and vigorous.

No one will laugh at you for that."

The third brother was actually not used to the sixth brother since he was a child, and since the German concubine was trapped in the Yonghe Palace, the sixth brother's temper became more and more like a real gun battle, I don't know Which word will cause him to have a sensitive attack.

But at this time the prince said this, the third elder brother took the lead to echo: "I remember when I was working in the Ministry of Household before, I calculated the amount of tax payment, which caused the officials of the Ministry of Household to sleep and eat. Recalculate, delay reporting."

The eighth brother is a smart one, and immediately followed up: "When I was just working on an errand, the book was too detailed and cumbersome.

"I also got scolded by Huang Ama last year because of my errand..."

For a time, the topic turned directly into the broken errands of the princes. You say my words, and no one is not wrong.

The eldest brother did not participate in this topic and left directly. The prince also retired and returned to Yuqing Palace.

Rong Xin had heard about the will of the former emperor, and her mood did not fluctuate much, but she still led Dongzhu to the Prince's study in the front hall for the first time.

When the prince saw her, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was not affected by this."

"I am not here for the seal of the princes."

Rong Xin pointed to a Taishi chair, and after Dongzhu sat on it, he took the shipbuilding drawings that the prince had shown her before and handed it to her.

Then Rong Xin looked at the prince and said indifferently: "I was ordered by the prince to convey a word to you."

The prince was puzzled, "Is there anything Song Yi can't tell me in person?"

"It's a little hard to say it in person." Rong Xin frowned and tried to calm down, "Prince Concubine said, seeing that the election is coming, but Yuqing Palace can't accommodate so many people, she I don’t want the emperor to refer to Yuqing Palace again, and I hope that a new concubine will be pregnant before the election.”

Prince: "..." was arranged clearly.

Rong Xin also didn't want to spread such words, but rather than the prince and the prince concubine saying these things in person, it would be better for her to spread it.

Then, Rong Xin said again: "If you have something you need me to convey, I will bring it back to the Crown Princess later. If not, it is inconvenient for me and Gege to stay here."

The crown prince nodded helplessly, "Please tell the crown princess, since she has made a decision, the arrangement is, I have no opinion, but before the general election, it is too tight..."

It's really hard for him, the prince, to do it...
