Chapter 118 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 43
Not long after Yinzhen returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he heard a loud noise outside.
Su Peisheng hurried in to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, Prince Xun wants to see you."
Yinzhen sneered: "He is not asking for an audience, he is clearly confident. Let him get in here."
Su Peisheng went out quickly and told the Fourteenth Master to "come back in".
The Fourteenth Master came in and bowed reluctantly, saying perfunctorily: "Your Highness."
Then get up.
When Yinzhen saw him like this, he wanted to order someone to beat him out. Sure enough, no matter how many times he did it, he couldn't like this brother who was born to the same mother anymore. He still liked his Thirteenth Brother. He missed him, but he was away from the capital because he was doing errands for him.
As he thought about it, Yinzhen sighed.
The Fourteenth Master said coldly: "Why is the Emperor sighing? Is it because he sees that his brother is unhappy?"
Yinzhen snorted coldly: "Look at your attitude, should I be happy? You yelled at the gate of the Yangxin Palace, and I didn't lock you up, you should be grateful."
"Go ahead and close it. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
"Do you think that I dare not lock you up just because you are relying on the Empress Dowager?"
When the Fourteenth Master heard Yinzhen mention "Empress Dowager", he became angry and remembered the purpose of his visit.
"How dare you mention the Empress Dowager? You've pissed her off so much that she's sick. It's no wonder she's displeased with you for being so unfilial."
If this had happened in his previous life, Yinzhen would have directly arrested the person and imprisoned him for life. At that time, what he feared most was the unrequited maternal love for his mother.
Such words can't hurt him in this life, but he will still be angry. Fourteen deserves a lesson for his attitude.
"I am not the one who made you sick, Madam. It is the Wuya family that is not doing well and has caused Madam to worry. For Madam's sake, I have already shown mercy and spared the lives of the entire Wuya family. What, do you want to plead for the Wuya family?"
"You have half the blood of the Wuya family in your body. How could you be so cruel that you even robbed your uncle's house? I came here to see if your blood is cold."
He dared to speak to the emperor like this, only because he had a good mother to protect him. If the emperor was not his biological brother, would he dare to be so presumptuous?
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows: "Your surname is Aixinjueluo, not Wuya. If you want to speak up for the Wuya family, why don't you make up for the loss of the Wuya family and I will let them go, how about that?"
He doesn't have that much money, and even if he did, he wouldn't use it to fill other people's deficits.
"It's just a little bit of silver. Why would you kill all your blood relatives like this?"
Yinzhen was shocked by his "why not eat meat porridge" attitude, and threw the document he had just prepared on the table to him: "Look, this is just a little silver in your mouth. I think you should just change your surname to Wuya. You are so ungrateful and forgetful. Go home and reflect on yourself."
"Su Peisheng, get in here, have someone take Old Fourteen back, have a few people watch him copy the ancestral rules a hundred times, and also send a literate guard to read to him every day what the Wuya family had embezzled. He can come out when he can memorize it and finish copying it. If he makes a mistake in copying or reciting it, he will have to copy and recite it again. Don't forget to collect all the things he uses for riding and shooting in his house."
His mansion is big enough for horses to run in, and keeping him confined to his house is not for him to "enjoy" himself. He must act like a confinement person.
Fourteen's eyes widened. Although he was good at literature, he didn't like it. He liked martial arts, riding and shooting more. This person didn't want him to have an easy life.
He made a loud noise, and Yinzhen waved his hand and asked someone to bring a piece of cloth to cover his mouth, and then found two strong guards to drag him away.
Ergenzi is finally clean.
But he was still feeling angry and could not read the memorial any more, so he called Su Peisheng and went to Yongshou Palace.
"Hey, what's going on? Who made our emperor angry?"
"It's still Old Fourteen. That bastard is always annoying. I don't know when Thirteenth Brother will be back. They are all brothers, so why is there such a big difference? Thirteenth Brother is a man of noble character. Even a hundred Fourteenth Brothers cannot compare to him..."
After praising his good thirteenth brother, Yinzhen finally felt relieved.
Le Shu looked at him with a smile: "If you miss Thirteenth Master, just change his job so that he won't worry about you so much."
Yinzhen was madly tempted, but still shook his head: "Thirteenth brother likes to finish what he starts. Forget it, Thirteenth brother's work is almost over, but I will still send a few more people to protect Thirteenth brother. Oh, Thirteenth brother's legs are not good, I have to send another doctor over. One is not enough. If the doctor gets sick, he won't be able to take care of Thirteenth brother. It would be better to send two doctors..."
Le Shu touched her belly and said: Child, let your father and your uncle live together in the future.
Tiantian is the Thirteenth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, she has seen it all.
The brotherhood in ancient and modern times, Su Shi and Su Zhe, and the Fourth Master and his thirteenth brother, can be considered a "good story", which made her want to stage a few plays to let the world "have fun" with her.
Yinzhen looked at her touching her belly in a daze: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Le Shu looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. This man's IQ really dropped when he met Thirteenth Brother. Ha! A man who only had Thirteenth Brother in his heart!
Then she put on a fake smile and said, "I saw that the emperor was so excited, so I thought that the child in my belly would be able to be as good as her brothers and sisters in the future."
There was something sarcastic in the tone.
Yinzhen: You call me Your Majesty and I am your concubine now. The tone is wrong!
"Of course it will. Our children will definitely be good."
Le Shu gave him a look and told him to experience it himself.
In May of the third year of Yongzheng's reign, Le Shu gave birth to another prince.
Le Shu thought both were fine, but Yinzhen was quite disappointed. He thought a daughter was better and more caring, but a son was also good and he named him Hongyang.
After giving birth to the child, Le Shu stopped pretending completely. In the name of the royal family, she organized a sea trade fleet that was only open to officials of the fourth rank and above.
They were allowed to invest, with ten taels of silver per share, and the maximum amount of investment was determined according to the official's rank. The royal family was also guaranteed to return the silver they invested in one year even if the fleet did not return.
We will continue to engage in maritime trade in the future, but if the fleet does not return, the money will be gone.
Of the fleet's profits, 20% will go to the accompanying navy for military expenses, and 20% will go to the national treasury to be used as tariffs. In the future, when formal tariff regulations are issued, further regulations will be made. As for the emperor's private treasury, the profits will be divided according to the proportion of the shares invested.
……
This was the first time that the imperial court organized maritime trade, and Le Shu wanted to let everyone know that if they tried it once, they would not lose money. Le Shu had a lot of silver, enough for three fleets not to return, but as long as they could succeed once, the profit would be dozens or even hundreds of times.
At that time, officials who participate in the investment will at least make dozens of times the profit, no matter how much they invest.
Money can move people's hearts. The most orderly navy and the most advanced weapons are in the hands of Yinzhen and Le Shu.
By then, we will set up a customs office, collect tariffs, organize civilian merchant caravans to engage in maritime trade, and have the navy provide escort. We can become rich by robbing pirates.
With the big cake of maritime trade, it would be much easier for Yinzhen to implement people-friendly policies such as equalizing the household tax and requiring officials and gentry to serve and pay taxes together.
Make the benefits bigger, then if someone objects to those "small profits" in the land, don't blame him for being merciful.
Moreover, as the leader of greater interests, he even has people helping him push through executive orders.
