Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
"Well, if the old man wants to go, let him go. We can't stop him anyway. I plan to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival and take the train to Chengde first."
Yinreng was sad for a moment, then put all those things behind him.
"I also intend to bring those brats with me, so they can see what life is like for the common people. After all, it's better to go to the people and see for themselves than to just demarcate the land in the Imperial Garden..."
Yinsi nodded as he listened. Compared to their childhood, this generation's life was much easier.
Yinsi remembered that he entered the Shangshufang at the age of five and had to get up before dawn to study.
All articles must be read through one hundred and twenty times. Even if you only remember half of them, you must still memorize the remaining half carefully.
Strictly speaking, there are only five days of proper holidays throughout the year. Unless the emperor is going on a tour and takes them with him, they can have a few days of breathing time.
When Yinsi thinks back to those days, his scalp still tingles.
I don’t know how I managed to get through it back then.
But now, those brats get up at noon every day, have breakfast together in the small cafeteria before going to the study to study. They only have three hours of formal classes every day, and they can rest for two days every five days to go out of the palace to relieve the pain of missing their families.
Moreover, my second brother divided the class into three classes according to age, and each age group had a dedicated teacher to teach.
Small classes are exposed to the most things. In addition to studying, they also have to learn the six arts of a gentleman, military strategy, fortifications, farming, commerce and other fields.
The second brother even invited a retired mechanic from Weihaiwei to the palace just to see if there were any children with extraordinary talents.
But when they reach the middle class, they have to choose one or two areas of interest from the subjects they have learned to continue their studies.
The children in the senior class are basically fourteen or fifteen years old, so my second brother arranges one-on-one teaching for them to teach them how to turn their interests into the ability to make a living.
Of course, this does not include ingots.
You have to cover all the subjects of Yuanbao. You don’t have to be proficient in them, but you must understand the tricks.
Only in his spare time can he delve into the direction he likes.
Yinsi sometimes envied the kids of this generation. If his father had half the love for his son that his second brother had, they wouldn't have reached the point where they were so disgusted with each other.
"You stay in the capital, and you can make your own decisions if anything happens..."
He was chatting with Yinsi, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little guilty.
The voice also becomes lower.
Yinsi hadn't noticed anything was wrong until he could no longer hear the sound. Then he suddenly raised his eyes.
"You want to leave me behind again?"
"How can I leave you behind? Everyone in the court knows that I have high hopes for Prince Lian. The rest of my brothers are busy and tired outside, and only you are enjoying the good life in the capital..."
"Do you want this blessing?"
Yinsi was so angry that he laughed.
The second brother has been on the throne for nearly ten years. During these ten years, other brothers have been traveling around the world, and even the second brother himself has left the capital two or three times. Only he has to stay in this shabby study to review memorials from beginning to end!
To quote my second brother, even the donkey in the production team cannot be used like this!
"Eighth brother, you can't say that..."
Yinreng still wanted to struggle.
As a result, Yinsi threw away the brush and stood up.
"My brother is not feeling well today, so please review this memorial yourself!"
As he was about to leave, Yinreng said anxiously,
"Don't... Eighth brother, you know, the Imperial Study can't do without you..."
Yinsi took two steps out, listening to his anxious words, but saw from the corner of his eye that he had no intention of getting up. He rolled his eyes fiercely and turned his head and said,
"My brother won't be feeling well for the next two months, so please find someone else to review the memorials."
After saying this, he strode out without giving Yinreng a chance to react.
Yinreng: “?”
Yinreng: “!”
He quickly got up and chased after him.
"Eighth Brother, Eighth Brother, wait a minute, wait for me! We have something to discuss!"
In the end, Yinreng compromised and agreed to take Yinsi with him on the tour.
There is no way, the Imperial Study cannot do without Yinsi, just like the West cannot do without Jerusalem...
Yinsi returned to the imperial study with satisfaction and continued to review memorials. The two brothers each sat at a table, occasionally looking up to ask each other's opinions, until the temperature in the room gradually rose.
Zhang Hongzhi came over and reminded,
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
"oh……"
Yinreng stretched himself, stood up and said to Yinsi,
"Old Eight, let's go and have lunch."
Upon hearing this, Yinsi put away his brush politely, stood up and followed Yinreng out.
In the past, people in the palace only had two meals a day, and the rest of the time they could only eat snacks to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.
But after Yinreng came to power, he began to implement the three-meal system, and people from all walks of life began to follow suit. Now, people living near the capital have also started to eat three meals a day.
With the increasingly developed land and water transportation systems, there is no shortage of supplies in the areas surrounding the capital.
Especially in recent years, the influx of grain from neighboring countries has made life better for the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Who knows, in a few years, all the people in the Qing Dynasty will be able to have three meals a day.
Yinsi was half a body length behind Yinreng, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on his second brother's broad back.
My second brother is good in every way, except... I trust him too much.
But it feels really good to be trusted by others.
Maybe this is why the brothers follow the second brother wholeheartedly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the inspection team heading north headed towards the train station in a mighty procession.
Because a notice to clear the area was posted in advance, there were no people watching outside the train station. After the team arrived, they began to board the train in an orderly manner.
After Kangxi got off the carriage, he sat on the wheelchair specially made for him by Yinreng, and a group of people escorted him to the train.
Since it was his first time taking a train, after getting on the train, he put his hands behind his back and wandered around the train carriage.
Yinreng ignored him and asked Yinsi to take care of the group of little brats who started making noise as soon as they got on the train.
He himself sat in the carriage with Guaerjia and Yuanbao, waiting for the train to start.
It was also the first time for Guaerjia and Yuanbao to take a train, and they were curious about everything they saw.
Yuanbao is seven years old this year and is still studying in a small class. Although he has heard the mechanical master talk about the operating principles of trains, he still can't help but feel excited when he really sits in the train.
Guwalgiya was only worried, after all, people are always wary of unknown things.
Yinreng saw his worry and was about to say something to comfort him when he heard Yuanbao ask,
"Ama, can I go out and take a look? I want to find my elder brother..."
Yinreng looked at him and found that his eyes were shining and full of anticipation.
