Chapter 42: The Queen Mother's Admonition
Chi Xia didn't expect that the first time in his life was to be solemnly asked "Would you like to" on such an occasion.
She originally thought that this matter would definitely be handed over to Yinxiang, no matter how bad it was, there would also be Prince Zhuang Yinlu.
never expected Yongzheng to let her do it.
In ancient times, when women were restricted by many restrictions, they were the controllers of public opinion in the imperial court.
Does she have the courage to do so?
Rao felt that she had always been decisive in doing things, and she hesitated at this time.
If she doesn't agree, she can be her "salted fish harem favorite concubine" in peace.
With systematic rewards and her own science and engineering background, Yongzheng will never treat her badly. But if she takes this step, she really steps into the court.
As soon as this "people's newspaper" develops, they will soon realize how important this position is.
Will she be up to the task then? Can Yongzheng withstand the pressure and continue to use her?
Will one day become suspicious of her and leave her as an "outcast"?
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Yongzheng asked Yinxiang to go back first.
He couldn't tell what the reason for that momentary loss just now was.
just sighed slightly: "It's me who makes you embarrassed." It's okay, you just said it very well, I will do it slowly. ”
Chi Xia remembered that day when he came back from the farm, Yongzheng lifted the curtain of the car and saw the smile when the cooking smoke was everywhere.
This is an emperor who is so determined that he is obsessed.
This is an era that needs to change urgently, and there are thousands of people like Erya, who have no name.
She opened her mouth, and what she didn't dare to say just now was actually said: "If you want me to do it, I think I can try it." ”
Yongzheng was both surprised and delighted, and helped her up with his own hands: "Okay, although there is no way to give you an official now, I will fully support you." You're behind the scenes, I'm in front of the stage. There are as many open guns and arrows as there are, and I will block them for you. ”
Chi Xia muttered: "These words sound like a demon concubine of the country......"
Who would know that people who have been "spoiled" for two or three months will work here every day and work overtime.
The next morning, the fold of the household department suing Prince Lian for instructing the men to destroy the grain was handed to the imperial case.
Yongzheng sent the fold to Prince Lian and asked him to defend himself.
Yin Yu was sincerely scared and cried, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and even told his own Fujin about it as a joke.
If such a trivial matter could have condemned him, he would have died seventeen or eighteen times all these years.
It's just that he originally wanted to attack a few grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but now that he has been named and registered, he can only collect the points, and he doesn't dare to make a move on the cusp of this storm.
These days, in several large restaurants and inns in the capital, the new storytellers are talking about which grain store has dropped the price again, and which grain store has not lowered the price, but buy a bag of rice and get a bag of bud rice grains.
It is said that each new seed bears several times more ears than the original seed, and it is only because some of the seeds have been destroyed that the yield will be reduced.
Someone asked who this vicious person was, and the storyteller only smiled: "How can we little people know the grievances and grievances of the princes and brothers of the Heavenly Family." ”
This price war has been going back and forth for nearly a month, and Yinyu can't suppress the grain merchants there.
Seeing that the merchants in Jiangnan had dropped from their eighty percent price all the way to their one percent price, which was basically the same as the grain price before the famine, they happily took out all the grain and patted their butts back to Jiangnan.
As soon as the grain merchants breathed a sigh of relief, the merchants of Sichuan and Shu carried several ships of goods into the city.
When it became clear that these ships were full of grain. Immediately, someone went home and opened the door of the grain store, and hung a sign at the door that read, "Give relief to the people, sell at a reasonable price."
The grain merchants are all people who are more refined than monkeys.
When the rest of the people saw it, they followed up one after another, for fear that the grain collected at a high price would be smashed in their hands if they were one step slower.
No one is willing to do anything that is clearly going to lose money, coupled with those rumors in the capital, although they don't mention it on the surface, in private, everyone hurriedly paid off the silver taels owed to Yinyu, and did everything possible to avoid getting involved with Yinyu.

The summer sun is swaying with heat.
Since that day he promised Yongzheng to be a "people's newspaper", Chi Xia basically said goodbye to lying down and lived, and got the Heart Nourishing Hall to "go to work" every day.
Yongzheng specially assigned her two Hanlin bachelors, one is responsible for political "news", and the other is responsible for poetry and poetry and literary analysis.
These two people are very tight-mouthed, and it is said that they were originally Yongzheng's own exclusive "text secretaries".
Chi Xia chose a martial arts novel that everyone is familiar with in modern times as the opening serial story.
The first issue of the People's Daily had only two pages and released two bombshell news:
The first is that the new emperor will ascend the throne, and this autumn will add Enke, and the second is that from now on, there will be a doctor every day in the Tongtai Hall in the capital to see a doctor, and those who need it can come to the Tongtai Hall for treatment.
Newspapers were sold at post stations in various places, and it was noted that they were issued every ten days.
It has the name of "Royal Sale", but it only costs a penny, and it can be bought by both a scholar and a peddler.
According to the report of the people at the post station, many pedestrians and merchants passing by were curious to buy one.
Seeing that the release time of the second phase was approaching, Chi Xia thought about confirming the "current affairs" of the second phase with Yongzheng, and in the morning followed the people in the harem to answer the queen mother and prepared to slip away.
However, the Queen Mother left the queen and her by name today.
The Queen Mother Wu Yashi has always felt that these cheap daughters-in-law of low positions are not on the stage, and they don't see them much, and even if they do, they don't talk to them much.
Keeping her is probably not a good thing.
The Queen Mother didn't ask to sit, and they couldn't sit either.
The queen stepped forward first and gave a smile: "The emperor tasted the grapes of Jiangnan Xingong, and heard the emperor say that this is a new variety cultivated by them, and it is the sweetest." ”
The Queen Mother had a cold face: "You are a virtuous person, but the harem must also have the rules of the harem." ”
Chi Xia looked at his nose and nose and heart, and knew that he was going to suffer.
She runs to the Heart Nourishing Palace every day, even if she is low-key every day, in the eyes of everyone in the harem, it is already very discordant.
It is estimated that he was sued by others to the Queen Mother.
The queen smiled gently, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the queen mother's words: "The queen can rest assured, all sisters are people who know etiquette." ”
But the Queen Mother obviously didn't want to listen to her words, so she asked Chi Xia directly: "The mourning family heard about it." There is no day when this noble man does not go to the Heart Nourishing Palace, but is there such a thing? ”
The queen's smile did not decrease: "The emperor originally said this, but the concubine knows the reason. ”
Chi Xia was stunned.
I heard her continue: "This summer is really hot, and the emperor is diligent in government affairs, so he refuses to go to the garden to escape the heat. Fortunately, the side dishes made by the nobles are cool and delicious, and the emperor is willing to use a few more bites. The concubine made the decision and asked her to cook some different side dishes every day and send them to the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”
actually helped her carry the pot directly.
After speaking, he pleaded again: "The concubine originally thought that everything in the palace should be based on the emperor first, and if she can share one or two worries for the emperor, even if she is a little out of line, it will not be a big problem." I didn't expect such a trivial matter, but the emperor's mother was moved to ask, it was the concubine who was not thoughtful. ”
The Queen Mother's face looked a little better, but she still didn't let go: "Having said that, the harem can't be messed up, this Chi nobleman should learn more rules, and from tomorrow onwards, he will go to the mourning family every day to copy the "Female Commandments". ”
