The richness of the south of the Yangtze River is well known, and the Jiangning Mansion is the fat shortage of the past dynasties, and the Qing court set up three weaving offices in Suzhou, Jiangning and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

In particular, Jiangning Weaving is the first of the three major weavings, responsible for handling silk and satin clothing and purchasing various royal items, and is a veritable imperial merchant.

Just like the Kangxi Dynasty, Cao Yin, who was weaving in Jiangning at the time, had a status even higher than that of the governor of Liangjiang.

Most of the people who can be qualified as imperial merchants are the emperor's cronies, after all, they do business that only makes money and does not lose money, and they can sit and count the money.

This time, the emperor got off the imperial ship and stayed in Jiangning Weaving Mansion.

Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, led a group of officials to respectfully take over, and during the first southern tour, Yingyun had several encounters with Yin Jishan, and now they met again and smiled politely at him.

Yin Jishan was a little stunned in his heart, he really understood the style of this queen's mother, and now he is still waiting carefully, just make a general acquaintance.

Yingyun helped the Queen Mother into the Jiangning Mansion, looking left and right to enjoy the scenery along the way, as for those officials, they all gathered around the emperor, talking about their great achievements.

The Queen Mother smiled and teased: "After the last southern tour, I see that these local officials are a little afraid of you. ”

"Afraid of me?" Yingyun pursed her lips and said, "What do I have to be afraid of, and I'm not their top boss, what can I do with them?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled secretly and said: "I'm afraid of offending you, if you blow the wind in the emperor's ear, their official hats will shake three times." ”

Ying Yun sighed and said, "Lafayette, you are too elevated to the concubines, and the concubines dare not interfere in the government." ”61

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a low chirp at the rockery of the small pond, which was tactful and beautiful, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw a red-billed parrot standing on the rockery, and when I saw the Queen Mother and others here, I opened my mouth clearly: "Lafayette is auspicious, and the queen mother is auspicious." ”

Concubine Ying, who followed behind, said with a smile: "There is still a treasure hidden here, the little guy is sharp-eyed, and he knows Lafayette and the queen." ”

Jiangsu Governor Zhuang You bowed forward and said with a smile: "Back to Lafayette, this parrot has been specially trained by Jiangning Mansion for more than half a year, and I want to honor Lafayette." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You have a heart, such an aura parrot, then keep it in my yard." ”

"Yes." Zhuang Yougong waved his hand and whistled, and the parrot fluttered its wings and flew to the crook of Zhuang Yougong's arm, shouting one after another: "Xie Lafayette, Xie Lafayette." ”

The parrot made everyone laugh, the emperor was the most filial, and the queen mother was happy, and their career was much smoother.

Yingyun continued to go to the dormitory with the Queen Mother, and muttered in a low voice: "Lafayette, the concubines look at the courtyard here is comparable to the Old Summer Palace, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, painted with paint, and now they offer a spirit bird, this is a bribe from Chiguoguo, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water in the usual time." ”

The Queen Mother also said: "You are right, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are located on the coast, connecting the hinterland, and have always been the money and grain warehouses of the Qing Dynasty. There are countless wealthy merchants here, and many of the food they eat is more elaborate and pompous than in the palace. ”

Yingyun was suspicious: "The emperor, doesn't he care?" ”

The Queen Mother chuckled lightly and said, "I can't control it, even if I know that they have fished out oil and water, I can only turn a blind eye." Even if they are dismissed, the new officials are still the same, how to manage them? ”
