Yang Zhi has not returned to Beijing for several years, and once he returned home, the three beautiful wives and concubines were naturally wet with rain and dew.

There is no shortage of servants and maids in the Hou Mansion, milk has not yet been popularized in this era, and there are many nurses. But under Yang Zhi's repeated advice, Shen Yu and Zhao Yan have always insisted on breastfeeding, and personally took Yang Meng and Yang Xiao to sleep together. Even cats and dogs know things out of nature, let alone people? Do you need me to say more about this?

Because Zhu Linger has never been pregnant and needs to take care of the child at night, Shen Yu and Zhao Yan intentionally or unintentionally let Yang Zhiduo go to her room to sleep. Zhu Linger is fair-skinned and mellow, simple and sensible, and Yang Zhi is also happy.

Yang Zhi claimed that he wanted to teach his son personally, but he never taught them anything seriously except for playing with the two children every day. Ordered people to vacate a few large houses, set up a small courtyard in the back garden, and buy a large number of snacks and toys to fill it. After that, if the children in the neighborhood want to come and play, they are all welcome.

Such a free kindergarten plan has only been implemented for less than three days. There are so many children who come because of the news!

Fortunately, the old man Yang Yan has rich experience and decisively improved it: although the children in the neighborhood cannot be taken care of, they cannot be faked. Sent domestic servants to check from house to house, and these children can still come and play for free. As for other children, they can come if they want, charging 100 taels per day and 2,000 taels per month. My grandson is an uncle, do you think you can play with them alone? Too expensive? Love doesn't come.

Rao is so, there are still too many children who come every day. The old man had no choice but to make an extremely painful decision, and all children who couldn't afford to pay the money could go to the Yang Mansion account office every day to get a free cake. Limited to 100 servings per day, while supplies last.

As a result, Yang's Mansion is noisy like a bazaar every day. Yang Zhi doesn't care. The old man is lively by nature, and there is no shortage of money at home, so it doesn't matter.

But Shen Yu and Zhao Yan have a so-called. The two children are happy, the neighbors are happy, and the old man is happy, but is there anyone like your family to teach children?

Yang Zhi disagreed. Children need playmates. There are children who come to play, whether they are high or low, and there is no harm in letting them play together. It's better for the old man to collect money, and he doesn't have to explain anything to the two children, what is the reason, let them figure it out slowly!

The old man is easy-going and gratifying, no big or small, not only the servants and maids in the house feel kind, but the two children like to stick to him. Yang Zhisheng was afraid that his father-in-law, Shen Zitong, would kill the happiness of the child's childhood, and he had no hope that his old man would teach the child. I don't want to stay at home during this time. But it made him look at the old man with admiration.

One day, the boss Yang Meng fought with others, was invincible, was defeated, and came to cry and complain to the old man. The grandson has always been the heart and liver of the old man, so what is it? The servants trembled, lest the old man scold. I don't want the old man to knock a chestnut on Yang Meng's little head: "You are a worthless thing!" What are you crying about? If you lose, just go and fight again! If you win the battle, grandpa will lie on the ground and let you ride a horse!"

Yang Meng wiped his tears and fought again. Defeat again, fight again. In the end, it was a big victory. Horseback riding as you wish.

Another afternoon, Yang Zhi was closing his eyes on the recliner in the courtyard and pretending to sleep, and the second Yang Xiao came to ask: "Dad, Dad!" Wake up! Can you lend me ten taels of silver? ”

There is nothing lacking in the family, and children of three or four years old usually have no concept of money. Yang Zhi asked ignorantly, "What do you want the silver for?" ”

When he looked up, Yang Xiao's lower body was so slippery that he didn't even wear pants. The little cock is proudly exposed. It's summer, and it's okay for a child to be a few years old without pants. Yang Zhiqi said: "Xiao'er, why don't you wear pants?" Where's your pants? ”

Yang Xiao said with a smile: "The pants were mortgaged to grandpa, and I borrowed the silver just to turn over the book." My mother is taking a nap, and I'm afraid she will scold me. Aunt Ling'er is also afraid of her mother's scolding. Tell me to borrow it from Daddy. ”

As soon as Yang Zhi heard this, he knew that the old man was gambling with the guards and servants in the Jiji Mansion again. With such a young child, what is it good to teach him? Do you have to teach him to gamble? Angry and funny, he asked, "Go to the book?" Lost even the pants? Why don't you borrow it from Grandpa? ”

Yang Xiao scratched his head and said, "I have already borrowed two taels of silver from my grandfather." Afterward...... Later, he took off his pants and mortgaged it, and borrowed two taels from his grandfather. Grandpa said that he had to redeem his pants before he could borrow them again. ”

Yang Zhi pondered for a moment, and said, "What if Daddy doesn't lend it to you?" What if you lose again? ”

Yang Xiao's eyes rolled around, and he said, "That...... Then I'll go to my eldest brother and ask him to vouch for me, or take off my pants as collateral ....... ”

Seeing that Yang Zhi's face was not good, he immediately said with confidence: "Dad, don't worry!" I'm not going to lose again this time. Grandpa said, I also asked Aunt Ling'er, borrowing money is to pay interest. I'll definitely pay you interest! ”

Yang Zhi asked weakly, "Do you know what interest is?" ”

Yang Xiao smiled: "It's simple! Dad lends me ten taels, and I pay you back eleven taels. The extra one or two is interest! ”

Yang Zhi thought about it seriously and took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and gave it to him: "I'll lend you one hundred taels." If you win, you must pay me back one hundred and twenty taels. If you lose, you are not allowed to gamble again. Otherwise, I'll beat it up once I see it! ”

At dinner that day, Yang Xiao returned two hundred taels to Yang Zhi with interest, and generously gave his brother Yang Meng one hundred taels. Several guards and servants who participated in the gambling lost like dirt, and Yang Xiao sat next to the old man with bright eyes: "Grandpa, shall we play again tomorrow?" ”

Since then, the second young master of the Yang Mansion has won nine out of ten bets, and rarely loses.

The days go by like this, and after the middle of summer, it seems that autumn is about to begin.

As the saying goes, people deserve to die more than people, and goods should be thrown away. Zhao Qi, the new crown prince of the prison state, is obviously much easier than his eldest brother Zhao Heng back then. Not only is the government affairs agency well organized, but there is also a break and play every once in a while. Although he doesn't come to Yang's Mansion as often as before, he always comes once or twice a month, or eats, or teases the two little nephews, or accompanies the old man to have fun.

The emperor put on a posture of being a shopkeeper, but he was always not at ease.

"Xiao Jin, how many pieces did the prince approve today? How long did it take? ”

"Back to the emperor, the prince approved twenty-seven pieces today, and it took about an hour."

"Oh? So fast? Where is the prince now? What have you been doing lately? ”

The prince went back to his house after approving the recital. Recently, several craftsmen were summoned from the Ministry of Craftsman's Office and asked them to draw detailed graphics and create a model of a ship. ”

The emperor said helplessly: "Qi'er has liked to tinker with some weird things since he was a child, and now he is the crown prince, why is it still like this?" That's it! It's better than playing poker and fighting birds. -- Go and show me the piece that Qi'er has approved today. ”

After Jin Zishan ordered someone to fetch a thick stack of concerto, the emperor read them one by one, and couldn't help frowning.

Twenty-seven canons are twenty-seven things, too much, not too little. According to the content of Chen Zheng, Zhao Qi respectively forwarded the two auxiliary princes, King Ning, King Kang, several Zaifu scholars, and the six departments for disposal, but he personally approved and dealt with none of them! No wonder it only takes him an hour!

The emperor shook his head when he saw it: "I'm so lazy, how can this work?" What do you say when you dare to be a child? Did they have an argument with Qi'er during this time? ”

Jin Zishan replied truthfully: "King Ning and King Kang also advised the prince like this, but the prince said that he was ordered to supervise the country, not a county order, let alone an account master. So far, the crown prince has never had any disputes with the two auxiliary princes. Whenever there is a disagreement, if the prince is justified or the two are at odds, the prince presumes that it is handled according to the emperor's will. If the two princes are reasonable, after the prince understands the details, he will gladly accept them. ”

The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "According to Qi'er's statement, could it be that I used to do the work of the county order and the master of the bookkeeper?" If you are confident, you can grasp the big and let go of the small. It is certain that Dang'er and Da'er are not convinced, Qi'er is exquisite, and they don't have a dispute. ”

The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, in fact, Jin Zishan is quite polite. Zhao Dang and Zhao Dangming have been fighting secretly for many years, and they don't want to be picked by their younger brother Zhao Qi, who didn't pay much attention to it. The two of them knew that they had been ruthlessly beaten by the emperor's father, but the wood had already been completed, the status of the monarch and minister between the brothers had been decided, and they were watched to death every day, what could they do? The only way to vent is to hold back enough energy to play "everyone comes to find fault" with Zhao Qi when he was in the last dynasty's auxiliary government!

Jin Zishan hesitated for a moment and said: "The prince is smart and wise, and the emperor is relieved to take care of the dragon's body." The prince thinks that the important cantata, even if it is not personally approved and disposed of, will be questioned again after it is approved. A few days earlier, the crown prince forwarded a piece of music from King Ning, and King Ning's disposition opinion was rejected by the prince. ”

The emperor became interested: "Do you know what is going on?" Tell me about it! ”

Jin Zishan replied: "The prefect of Zhongzhou has played, because of the flooding of the Yellow River this summer, it is urgent for the imperial court to allocate money and grain to help the victims and clean up the river. King Ning's disposal opinion was to allocate three million taels of silver and one million stones of grain. In recent years, after the abolition of government soldiers and border troops, there are still a lot of military food hoards in Xiangyang, Suizhou and other places, which can be transported to Zhongzhou for disaster relief. ”

"And the prince's meaning is to allocate two million taels of silver and three hundred thousand stones of grain. The silver was allocated in three installments, and 500,000 taels were allocated first to relieve the urgent need. Military rations can only be replaced, not lightly moved. Moreover, most of the military rations hoarded in Xiangyang and Suizhou are rice, and the people of Zhongzhou mainly eat pasta on weekdays, so it is better to transport grain from Nanyang nearby. Before the winter, another 500,000 taels of silver were allocated for work relief to clean up the river. It is necessary to ensure that no one freezes to death or starve, and at the same time, we must not get used to the habit of the disaster victims getting something for nothing. The rest of the money and grain will be allocated after the beginning of spring to help the people survive the spring famine. ”

"Good! I can rest assured! The emperor couldn't help but praise the case: "This is the person who has truly experienced the hardships of the people's livelihood!" Xiao Jin, they are all my sons, it's not that I'm eccentric, Qi'er doesn't have the help of Yu Nong, Heng'er has never done such a beautiful thing as a prince for more than ten years! ”
