On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the yamen in various places 'opened the seal' to run errands, and the servants of various clans and royal families who were officials in other places also began to organize the transportation of various raw materials, migrant workers and craftsmen of all kinds to Shanghai. Bayi Chinese~

When Zhu Yanzhi, Xu Shizhen, Hai Feng, Hu Chengkun, Wu Tianming, Wan Jiantu and others began to be busy, Yinzhen was busy on the twenty-fourth day of the first month and married Zhang Mengjiao into Liuchun Garden.

This shocked the gentry in Shanghai, the fourteenth master actually married such a deviant woman. The reason why Zhang Yuanlong can swallow all the cotton shares in one bite is self-evident, naturally, Yinzhen's lustful reputation is also spreading, and the major ship owners have also begun to consider whether to find a few beauties in exchange for the cotton share.

Followed by Zhang Yuanlong released all the rumors of a price increase for cotton cloth, this time, Yinzhen became the target of public criticism, and the reputation of lust and greed immediately overshadowed the honest and loving people, however, the reaction of a group of weavers was not big, and all the prefectures, counties, and towns have posted announcements on the purchase of cotton cloth, and the purchase price of cotton cloth has not dropped, and there is no place to sell, as for what price cotton cloth can be sold at a merchant is not something they should care about.

In the house of Liuchun Garden, Yinzhen smiled at Zhang Mengjiao and said, "In order to let you pass through the scenery, the reputation of honesty and love for the people that you have won with great difficulty has immediately become lustful and greedy, should you make up for it." ”

Zhang Mengjiaoqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, "The fourteenth master is really cheap and good, my father is just a scapegoat for you to push out, you should compensate me well." Bayi Chinese~"

His mind was pierced, and Yinzhen didn't care, so he stepped forward and smiled, "Okay, I'll compensate you well." ”

Zhang Mengjiao smiled and dodged, "Master, let's think about it first, will anyone make a fuss about this matter in the Reading Pavilion." ”

"Love to do it or not." Yinzhen said indifferently, "The tail of the master's hands can be cleaned up neatly, let them toss." Head. Hair"

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Kangxi sighed lightly after reading the secret letter from Jiangnan, this old fourteenth, it is a means to buy people's hearts, can you use a concubine with great fanfare? Is it because of the woman? Hmph, this reputation of lust and greed depends on how you wash it away?

Yuqing Palace, after the crown prince Yinren learned the news, he just recorded a sum, these trivial things can't be involved in Yinzhen, it is better to accumulate them if they are not painful, and they will be impeached together when the situation is right in the future.

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi just muttered a few sentences, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, the end of his hands was clean, and he handled it single-handedly, so he naturally knew it.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen is obsessed with this matter, with Yinzhen's shrewdness, how could he make such a low-level mistake, he looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out where there was a problem, so he came to Wu Sidao, after Wu Sidao saw the news, he glanced at Yinzhen approvingly, pondered for a while, and then he spoke, "The fourth master's suspicion is reasonable, but this news is too simple, Sidao thinks that it should have nothing to do with that Zhang Yuanlong, you let people check the details of the woman, and then analyze." ”

In February, Shanghai was busy, and the maritime merchants from Taiwan and Guangzhou, Guangzhou, began to transport frosted sugar to Shanghai, and a large number of merchants, missionaries, and foreigners also arrived in Shanghai with the ships.

With the influx of a large number of personnel, the foundry, ironworks, firearms factories, quilt factories, and gunpowder workshops have broken ground one after another.

Yinzhen was busy seeing people and writing letters and replying to letters all day long, and the three registration, Shuqi, and Zhike masters, who were originally bored all day long, were immediately busy and couldn't find the north.

"I have no problem building a church in Shanghai, but it will be tricky to return the old Catholic church to the imperial court." Yinzhen was very troubled and said to a few missionaries who came to him, in the fourth year of Kangxi, the imperial court banned Christianity, Kangxi ordered that missionaries were only allowed to operate in Guangzhou, and the Catholic church in Shanghai was abandoned and had been rebuilt long ago.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince, this Catholic church is our private property, private property is sacred and inviolable, due to the loss of our private property due to the reasons of your court, we hope that your court will compensate for it, this is completely justified." Bai Lihua argued.

This matter is indeed a loss, but Yinzhen is not good at expressing his position, and he does not dare to report this matter, what kind of joke, in case he annoys Kangxi, an edict is issued, the missionaries are not allowed to stay in Shanghai, who do you find to cry? Thinking of counting on these missionaries to help recruit foreign craftsmen, sailors and other talents, he couldn't help but deal with them, "Father Bai, your request will be folded to the imperial court, as for what the imperial court views and ideas, I don't know, and the time of approval is even more difficult to say, you know, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory, a large population, and the imperial court is a daily order, such trivial things, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract the attention of the imperial court, how about you go back first and wait for the news?" I'll let you know as soon as I get the news. ”

Bai Lihua is not stupid, knowing this, I am afraid that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue goes, "His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince, we not only have more than 30 priests in Shanghai this time, but also helped His Highness invite more than 50 sailors and craftsmen, of course, if His Highness needs it, we will continue to help His Highness to invite him." ”

More than fifty sailors and craftsmen came? Yinzhen was happy to hear it, but looked at Bai Lihua in embarrassment, "For your arrival, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of myself, Shanghai will become more and more prosperous, and all friends who come to Shanghai will find their own opportunities here, however, this return to the old church, this prince is really helpless." ”

Seeing that Yinzhen's tone was so tight, Bai Lihua also realized that this matter was very difficult to do, if they could not get the support of the fourteenth prince in Shanghai, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold, so he had to retreat to the second, "Your Highness, you see, can you compensate us for a piece of land, we will raise our own funds to build another church." ”

Yinzhen smiled happily, "That's no problem, this prince will give you five acres of land privately, and another two thousand taels of silver, but my Jianghai Customs and Naval Academy need to learn French and English, and the current customs are still in urgent need of translation." ”

"On behalf of all the Jesuit missionaries in Shanghai, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince for his generosity, and we are more than happy to serve His Highness." Bai Lihua said and bowed respectfully, and at the same time his heart was also relieved, this is a good sign, with the fourteenth prince taking the lead in donating, this situation will be easy to open.

Yinzhen was very busy in Shanghai, but Kangxi took the crown prince Yinren, the third son Yinzhi, the eighth son Yinxi, the tenth son Yinxi, the thirteenth son Yinxiang and other princes to visit Wutai Mountain again.

Seeing Di Bao, Yinzhen was very suspicious, why does Kangxi always like to run to Wutai Mountain? Could it really be that Lord Shunzhi became a monk in Wutai Mountain? It's a pity that he couldn't rush to find out this time, his feet didn't touch the ground at this time, and he didn't have time to think deeply, so after throwing the newspaper to Zhang Mengjiao, he hurried to meet the guests.

After a busy month, all kinds of things finally began to sort out the clues and began to go on track, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, Kangxi has returned to Beijing, he should also return to the capital, March 18 is Kangxi's birthday, that is, Wanshou Day, birthday gifts have been prepared a long time ago, he does not want to and dare not be presented by his hands, in case someone touches it, it will leave a very bad impression in Kangxi's heart, Kangxi is a very picky master.
