The cement obtained from the task, because there were Kangxi's people around him all the time before, and Kangxi, the big boss, stayed in the capital, and Yinren couldn't explain its origin.

Kangxi is not in the capital this time, although those who are staring at him should still be there, but without the backbone and Kangxi's orders, they can only passively stare at themselves to prevent themselves from doing anything that threatens Kangxi's dominance.

In this way, you can also find an excuse to let the people below pretend to make cement unintentionally. And the first batch of dark guards brought to training will be officially launched in another month. When the time comes, this matter will be left to them to operate, and the right to be the graduation test.

For a month, I still had to wait.

It's just that this matter has not been skimmed yet, and Yinren has not revealed the bottom to Cao Xu in advance. When the matter of this cement recipe is settled, let him take a copy of the recipe to Guangdong. Reinforcing the embankment with cement is certainly much better than it is now.

Although the arrival of the flood cannot be solved, the damage caused by the flood is much reduced. If this is effective in Guangdong, I think some other places will also put it into use.

sent Cao Xu away, and Yinren sat alone in the study. With the right hand of the good and Tian Ziyu wrench, he unconsciously knocked on the desktop in front of him.

The Kangxi Dynasty lifted the ban on the sea, and it can be said that now is a good time to contact with the outside world. It's just that the imperial family can't leave Beijing for no reason, and they can only stay in the capital, but there is no way to contact the outside world in person.

The existing four customs offices of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, although they have sent a lot of silver to the treasury every year, have not really attracted the attention of the imperial court.

However, the class concept of the peasants and industrialists was troubled, and the merchants were undoubtedly lowly in the eyes of the scholar class at this time. It is precisely because of this that although the Kangxi Dynasty lifted the ban on the sea and set up four customs.

But the parents of the four customs offices in the area did not take these customs seriously. The role left behind is only to collect customs duties.

Although Kangxi consciously guarded against these businessmen from overseas, he did not pay real attention to it. There is also no effective prevention in the customs department. The concept of the heavenly kingdom is still too deep-rooted, and although the weapons of the merchants who come and go have been confiscated, they have not been registered, nor have they been managed in a unified manner.

As a result, there is no way for these foreign businessmen to catch them in the first place if they do anything in the country. As a precaution, these existing customs offices still have to install some of their own manpower. lest it really cause a catastrophe in the future, and it will be too late.

It's just that this candidate is a matter of choice, and I still have to think about it, the reason why I intended to let Cao Xu go to Guangzhou before, in addition to the fact that he was the Cao family, I found such an errand for him, which can strengthen the connection with the Cao family, and the officialdom in Jiangnan can also have a control, so as not to be blind.

In addition, because Cao Xu is more lively, flexible and not the stubborn master, this kind of personality has advantages and disadvantages, but it is still very suitable to put him at the customs. It's just that at that time, I still have to send a few secret guards to stare at Cao Xu secretly. If such a thoughtful person colludes with foreign businessmen privately, then he is afraid that he will have to suffer a loss.

Guangdong has already decided, as for the customs in Jiangsu, with Cao Yin staying in Jiangning, there will be no big problems if you think about it. At that time, Cao Yong, who was the idle chess he dropped in Jiangning, said that he could not let him go to the customs in Songjiang, Jiangsu Province to find a small gap and do it first.

Coincidentally, the customs of Jiangsu was set up in the territory of the Bund of the Xinkai River in present-day Shanghai. It's not far from Jiangning.

To this Fujian Quanzhou, and Zhejiang Ningbo, the two customs, they still have to look for candidates, if there are suitable candidates in the Hesheri family and Guarjia Mansion, they can be used, after all, the virtuous do not avoid relatives.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that Kangxi will see something, which is somewhat unfavorable to himself. Forget it, it seems that it is better to pick two suitable ones from the poor people who have no net worth background, and then see if they can be taken back for their own use.

Thinking about it, Yinren went out of the study and secretly instructed Zhang Bao to find two reliable ones to inquire about the character background of these poor scholars. There is no need to inquire about those well-known poor families. It's better to keep a low profile this time.

After the matter was explained, Yinren relaxed a little. Thinking that there is still more than half a day's work, I have been staying in the palace to deal with government affairs during this time, and this time I am still thinking about it.

It's just that there is nothing to entertain in this era, so I can only find a place to wander around casually. Yinren didn't bother to make up his mind, so he called Zhang Bao over.

"Master asks you, is there anything worth visiting in this capital, and you can point out a few to you." Zhang Bao saw Yinren asking, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, you have found a few hot springs in the suburbs of Beijing a few years ago, and the two hot springs built in the house have been built a few years ago, and Your Highness has not been there yet." ”

"And that Xiangshan, the maple leaves at this time are just watching. In the Xiangshan Temple on the mountain, the incense has always been extraordinarily prosperous. After talking about these two places, Zhang Bao picked up a few more interesting or beautiful places and told Yinren to listen.

Yinren pondered for a moment, this hot spring Zhuangzi has always been there, and he can't run away no matter what. There are several other places with great views, which can be seen at any time. When it comes to the red leaves of this fragrant mountain, this month is the time to see it, and if you miss it, you have to wait until the next year.

Thinking like this, Yinren also had results in his heart. Turning his head to look at Zhang Bao next to him, he ordered: "Explain it, let the people below prepare first, and then set off to Xiangshan to have a look." ”

Zhang Bao got the order, and he didn't stay long, and hurriedly went down to arrange for the people below to prepare. With nothing to do, Yinren picked up a pen and wrote a big word of tea kung fu. Seeing Yinren put down his pen, Zhang Baocai, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Master, everything is ready, and you can set off at any time." ”

Yinren listened, then asked someone to bring water in, and after cleaning his hands, he went to the inner room to change into a set of black gilded embroidered bamboo clothes, after all, he was going out to play, and if he still wore auspicious clothes and prince's regular clothes, wouldn't it be purely to find guilt for himself.

Yinren was well prepared here, and it took almost half an hour to get into the carriage before arriving at the foot of Xiangshan. At noon, I also casually dealt with a little food brought out of the food box in the carriage.
