Chapter 178: Southern Tour (9)
Zhang Pengxi and Song Ju heard Yinxiang half-joking, half-seriously questioning Li Xu, and couldn't help but feel relieved in their hearts. Reading the book // As early as when the two of them received a report that there was a water situation under their rule, they went to the weaving yamen to find Li Xu to discuss the matter of borrowing silver, but although Li Xu was respectful on his face, he refused to let go of a copper, and insisted on a sentence left and right, the weaving yamen belonged to the internal affairs government, and the silver collected on the weaving had to be paid to the inner treasury. Besides, the weaving mansion is now busy driving, and that is all a matter of flowing water. Between the words and the words, it is nothing more than the same meaning, money, weaving yamen has it, but it is not the turn of the people in the two rivers to use it, it is all prepared for the emperor. At the end, Li Xu said lightly, the two Shangxian and the lower officials are really just a passing god of wealth, in fact, it is not difficult to borrow silver, as long as the emperor's will is fulfilled. There was a hint of contempt in these words, which really made the two governors who came to visit indignant.
In the jurisdiction of Liangjiang, Jiangning weaving Cao Yin and Suzhou weaving Li Xu were Kangxi's companions when he was young, and their mothers were Kangxi's nurses. Therefore, although the quality of these two weavers is not high, they have some sense of being a senior official. Even the university scholars and Shangshu with ruby tops were polite when they saw the two, and Zhang Pengxi and Song Ju could only swallow their anger. When Song Ju stepped out of the weaving yamen, he sighed with a wry smile and said: "I knew that it was boring for you and me to touch this face at Li Xu's place, but it is better to go to Dongting (Cao Yinzi) near and far, he is the most ancient and enthusiastic, and he will definitely help." Zhang Pengxi's anger was obviously undiminished, and he said with hatred: "What kind of thing is Li Xu? I want the governor to see his face! This time the emperor made a tour of the south, and he took out hundreds of thousands of silver from the government on the occasion of his welcome, which can really be regarded as 'loyalty'! He really thought that the governor was just a decoration here, and how did the few new gardens he built in the south of Suzhou come about? Sooner or later, let him figure it out by himself!" Song Ju had a deep friendship with Cao Yin, and Cao Yin was Li Xu's sister-in-law, for fear that this matter would lead Cao Yin, so he comforted his cheeks, which made Zhang Pengxi dissipate his anger a little. Reading the book// At this time, Yinxiang seemed to be intent on being Li Xu, and the two of them were naturally happy to see it.
Li Xu showed a little embarrassment, and said: "If the slave returns to the thirteenth master, the silver here of the slave is used to fill the inner treasury, and any less slave is a capital crime." Although the two Shangxian also came to find the slave last time, how dare the slave dare to respond to the master's will?"
Seeing that Li Xu's answer was not revealed, Yin? smiled faintly and said: "Your loyalty to the emperor, several of our elder brothers know it, and the emperor must also know it in his heart." The meaning of the Thirteenth Master of Shicai, you probably heard it poorly, not to let you take out the silver for nothing, but just to borrow it to help the victims. Huang Ama is concerned about the water these days, almost sleepless at night, as a courtier, he should share his worries for the monarch's father. Again, the emperor's edict, I think you should have read it carefully, this southern tour, all prepared by the capital of the interior, although the silver you weave, about the future is submitted to the inner treasury is not false, since it is not needed for a while, first move 100,000 to control the flood and disaster relief, it should be no problem. Li Xu naturally understood what he said, but when the silver in his hand was handed over to Zhang Pengxi, Li Xu was indeed reluctant. Seeing that Li Xu was silent, Yin? continued: "I know that you are embarrassed, Ming'er ushered in the emperor, and I and the thirteenth and fourteenth masters went to ask for the holy order, okay?" Li Xu heard that the words became heavier, and he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Where did the fourth master say? Several masters are all young masters of slaves, how can slaves not be effective? Besides, although flood control and disaster relief are not the right messengers of slaves, slaves should also do their best. The slave immediately transferred 100,000 taels of silver from the Weaving Mansion!"
Hearing this, Yinxiang's face looked better, and said: "This is it, you are worthy of being a person who knows things, Huang Ama, I will wait for a few elder brothers to say a few good words for you." But he didn't want to talk about these things too much, so as not to fall into the ears of others, thinking that their brother intended to befriend Li Xu. Facing Li Xu, neither far nor close, he is a relative of the emperor, his cousin is Kangxi's favorite concubine Wang, fifteen and sixteen elder brothers are all out, and I heard that he is still Kangxi's eyes and ears in Jiangnan, so it is forbidden, and the most befriendable can not be passed to Kangxi, and it must not be a little good. Then he changed the topic and asked about the customs of Suzhou.
In the early morning of the second day, the three of them waited at the wharf with Zhang Pengxi, Song Ju and seventy or eighty officials, as well as local gentry. Kangxi saw it and couldn't bear it, so he said that he was following the edict of the queen mother, thinking of everyone's hard work, so that everyone dispersed, leaving only a few princes and Li Xu to accompany him and go to Suzhou Weaving Mansion to stay.
After entering the weaving mansion, just after settling down for a while, Kangxi summoned Yin, asked him to sit aside, and then said: "Jiangyin's mission has made you do it very properly, and you know how to put civil affairs first, which shows that you have put your mind into it." I intend to experience Yin's experience this time, so I left him in charge, what do you think?" Yin's owe and said: "Erchen Xie Huang Ama praised, but Erchen didn't dare to take credit, Shi Shilun's courage even Erchen admired it very much. Kangxi smiled when he said this, and said: "I heard that Shi Shilun is called Shi Qingtian, according to what you said, he really has some Song Baozheng's backbone." Yin continued: "Yes." When Emperor Ama asked about the eighth brother, the son thought that the eighth brother had always acted properly and thoroughly, and he was the best among my brothers, and he would definitely be able to do this errand beautifully. Kangxi nodded, and then looked at Yinshan with some inquiring expression, and said: "I intend to let you return to Beijing immediately, are you willing?" "Return to Beijing?" Yin? was stunned for a moment, and said: "Huang Ama has an errand to send to his son?" Yin? originally thought that Kangxi transferred himself to Suzhou, just to make room for Yin, but he didn't expect to beat himself back to Beijing, for a while, if Kangxi had just praised himself, Yinshan thought that Huaiyin's errand made Kangxi dissatisfied.
Looking at the look of surprise on Yin's face, Kangxi chin and jokingly said: "What, would you rather send love scriptures and Buddhist principles than think about worrying about me?" Yin? hurriedly left his seat and knelt down and said, "How dare your son." Kangxi beckoned Yin? to get up, and said with a smile: "I'm just joking with you." It is also good to read the scriptures, because Buddhism teaches people to have a loving heart, to understand the principles of goodness, and to avoid giving birth to some undesirable false thoughts. Hearing Kangxi say this, Yin's heart was even more shocked.
Kangxi continued: "You will return to Beijing tomorrow, and you can help the prince and the eldest brother prepare for the ceremony." Besides, you will also bring the second-class guard Gelfen back to the capital, and the prince and Suo Etu will be disciplined!"
