Chapter 82 The 82nd Day of Wanting to Die
Yin Zhuo had already taken out the charcoal pencil and called a few people over: "It's like this, Sixth Brother has a favor to ask of you."
Yinsi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Yin Zhuo said, "Wait, let me tell you, if you think the waste smells bad, then help to apply fertilizer. Little Seven, Little Twelve, and Little Thirteen haven't come yet. Have you seen the plots of land that have been divided in front of you?"
Yinzhen said, "Sixth brother, you don't want us to farm, do you?"
Yinzhen had never done farm work since he was a child, but the emperor would organize one during the spring equinox and take the ministers to the fields to show his concern and importance for agriculture.
Yin'er's mind has started to work. Does Sixth Brother want to experiment to see which fertilizer is most effective?
If the experiment is successful, can we sell it?
Doesn't this also give rise to a new industry?
fertilizer industry.
After such a long time, Yinzhen had keenly sensed the emperor's determination to increase crop yields.
Moreover, the Sixth Brother has the idea of vigorously developing industry and commerce.
You must know that since ancient times, merchants have had the lowest status.
But if there is a good way to make money, then making money is real money.
It's much better than digging for food in the ground.
But it also blocked the way for imperial examinations for future generations.
But this was also determined by the restrictions of the dynasty. After all, the class gap was too great. If merchants came into contact with power...
That's out of control.
So our ancestors were also smart and directly blocked this road.
Yinzhen thought a lot.
Yin Zhuo replied: "As expected of Xiaojiu, you are smart."
[Hehe, let me show you how terrifying group work is in college. ]
But Yin Zhuo felt that they would not be like those in college, cheating and slacking off.
After all, any one of these people can beat ordinary college students. They are too lucky.
Oh, that's terrible.
Yin Zhuo clicked his tongue twice, but still insisted on doing so.
Yinsi was confused. College group assignment?
What is this?
At this moment, he was very curious about Sixth Brother's future educational methods.
"You will divide the work among yourselves, each of you will be responsible for a plot of land, and keep relevant records. Then we can compare them and see which fertilizer formula has the best fertility."
This is Yin Zhuo's plan.
Yinzhen understood.
It is indeed so.
Yin'e had no objection.
Seeing that they all agreed, Yin Zhuo felt relieved. Looking at Yin Zhen with a bitter face, Yin Zhuo touched his bald head and said, "Why, you don't want to?"
How could Yinzhen dare to say anything?
"Yes, yes, of course."
Alas, Sixth Brother really keeps everyone busy.
Yinzhen and Yinxiang came over and were also frightened by the fight among their brothers.
My God, are they dazzled? The sixth brother is guiding his brothers to go to the fields to farm with his fingers behind his back.
Yin Zhuo greeted them and said, "Come here quickly, I want to talk to you."
So he told his plan again.
Of course there is no problem for the two of them.
Later, Yinyou also arrived, and Kangxi realized that today was a ten-day holiday, but the Qing Palace was too quiet, which made him a little nervous.
Fortunately, Yinzhen came back today.
During the halftime break, Yinsi asked curiously, "Sixth and Seventh Brothers, it's almost the Wanshou Festival, what are you going to send as a gift?"
He needs to find out the details before deciding what gift to give to express his feelings.
Yin Zhuo was a little surprised.
[Ah, I almost forgot about Manshou Festival. ]
Yin Zhuo felt a little guilty.
The Emperor had specifically asked him to bring a gift, but he had forgotten all about it.
People don't know what to say, they don't know either.
The Emperor has many good things, but they are his children.
So the value of a gift is not about its price, but its value.
It lies in their filial piety towards the Emperor.
Yin Zhuo thought about the situation in the court.
He couldn't help but felt something in his heart, and he reached out to several people.
"Why don't we rehearse a song and dance?"
Yinsi was startled: "Sixth brother, we are princes..."
How can I sing and dance in front of the public?
It's so embarrassing.
Moreover, they will be looked down upon. Although businessmen have a low status, actors have an even lower status.
They are only used to please people.
They are not a decent family.
Yinzhen also said: "Sixth brother, this is not appropriate. When the time comes, foreign envoys will come to the Qing Dynasty and people will laugh at us."
The foreign princess and prince didn't go on stage to sing and dance in person.
Yin'e said, "Riding a horse and shooting arrows is fine, but this... I guess the emperor will be unhappy?"
Yin Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Yin'e and said, "Old Ten, can you all ride a horse and shoot arrows?"
[So can I also do boxing? I'm not very good at dancing, but I can change to strength-based kung fu, which is also fine. It's just a different path. You know, the martial arts passed down by our ancestors are well-known both at home and abroad. It's a pity that almost no one practices martial arts nowadays, but it's also because we live in a peaceful and beautiful era. ]
Several people also felt emotional. Yes, who doesn't want to stay away from war?
But will people in the future not even be able to ride a horse or shoot a bow?
This was somewhat unexpected, but they thought of the Eight Banners descendants and understood it instantly.
Without the war, the Eight Banners would have been abolished.
But comparing the Eight Banners descendants with those people is somewhat derogatory, but they are only talking about the similarities between the two. Maybe some of the Eight Banners descendants have even forgotten how to ride a horse.
Yinyou seemed to understand what Sixth Brother meant.
He also had new ideas.
"Instead of us brothers demonstrating our martial arts, why don't we bring along the imperial guards? This way, we can also show the strength of our army to the foreign envoys."
Yin Zhuo immediately applauded: "That's very well said, Xiao Qi, you are worthy of it. Let's just have a military parade performance."
[Every October when I watch the military parade in front of the TV, I am moved to tears by the neat military postures and steps.]
Yinyou never thought that there would be a future.
And judging from the fact that they come here every year, it should be a regular performance.
[This is so funny. Maybe even the place where they parade is the same. They used to perform in the square at the city gate.]
Yin Zhuo found it amusing just thinking about it.
Yinyou remained silent. When the Qing Dynasty fell, even the imperial palace was occupied.
That's right, their current Forbidden City also dates back to the Ming Dynasty.
Yin Zhuo said: "How about we organize this in the next few days and let the emperor see the soldiers' spirit and unity."
Yinyou thought it was okay, after all, Sixth Brother had already marked out the venue.
"Okay, Sixth Brother, the square is big, why don't we do it there?"
Yinyou looked at the Sixth Brother with amusement. The Sixth Brother seemed to be choked by the interruption.
Yin Zhuo was so angry that he almost choked himself to death.
"…What you said is exactly what I meant. That's it, but we have to ask the eldest brother and the fifth brother for this matter."
Both men had service in the military.
"We have to ask Big Brother to take the lead. Why don't we go together? But we have to talk to the Emperor about this."
Yin Zhuo nodded: "I will tell the Emperor."
This surprise had to be revealed in advance, otherwise he would not be able to bear the charge of using troops without permission.
Yinsi was a little worried. Would this work?
Today's Longevity Festival is quite lively.
Yinzhen was somewhat excited: "This is good, the common people can also join in the fun."
Yin Zhuo shook his head: "This will easily lead to chaos. I will go back and write some rules. I am afraid we will have to control the number of tickets. After all, the square is so large. If all the people in the city come, it will definitely cause chaos."
[If we follow the military parade, all departments should unite to organize a program. Children's square, Ministry of Revenue square, Ministry of Personnel square... and so on, and then a royal square to show the affinity from the royal family. There can also be a civilian square, some kind and contributing everyone in the civilian world, which can be regarded as a kind of respect from the royal family. ]
Good guy, after listening to his thoughts, everyone else opened up their minds.
Yes, it is such a good opportunity for them to show up in front of the Emperor. This is a great favor. Isn't it the place where they can show their happiness with the people?
But time is running out.
Yinyou said, "Sixth brother, write out the rules as soon as possible, and we will go and tell the emperor and do it. During this time, we brothers should run more errands to give the emperor an unforgettable birthday."
Yinsi also looked forward to it: "Seventh brother is right, I can't wait to watch it."
It would be nice to have such an opportunity once a year, as it would also stimulate consumption. Yin'er was calculating very well. Nowadays, the common people have no smiles on their faces because of their hard lives. Moreover, because the entire Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, the Han people were even more nervous. Held more activities like this so that they could relax.
In life, we still have to look forward.
Yinzhen also raised his hand: "I want to go too."
He was too young, with a big age gap between him and his older brothers, and an even bigger age gap between him and his fifteenth younger brother.
So it's a bit embarrassing.
Yin Zhuo patted his head with amusement and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you lead the children's policy. You'll be the most handsome guy in the audience when you walk in the front."
Yinzhen's face flushed: "I'm grown up now, I want to go with Sixth Brother."
By the end he was getting a little anxious.
Yin Zhuo gestured at his height with amusement, "You little guy, you will stand out. Everyone will look at you and wonder, oh who is that prince? Why are you so short? People may not see you anymore in the future. After knowing that you are the Fourteenth Prince, their impression of you will be that you are short. But think about it from another perspective. You are the tallest one in the children's formation. Everyone's impression of you will be that the Fourteenth Prince is half a head taller than the other children at such a young age. You will definitely be a Baturu in the future."
Yinzhen thought about it and felt that his sixth brother was right.
In order to avoid this situation, Yinzhen could only agree reluctantly, but he was still a little unhappy: "But, Sixth Brother, you are not tall either."
Yin Zhuo snorted twice, then reached out and knocked him on the head without hesitation: "No matter how short I am, I am still your brother."
Yinxiang raised his hand, and Yin Zhuo nodded at him: "Why? You want to go to the Children's Square too?"
Yinxiang looked a little unhappy: "No, Sixth Brother, it's just whether we can change places."
He was really about to pass out from the stench.
God knows he has been holding his breath and it is really hard for him to breathe.
Sixth Brother and Fourteenth were wearing white masks, but none of them had any.
Yinxiang's eyes turned red from the smoke: "Sixth brother, you are biased."
The voice sounded very aggrieved.
Yin Zhuo pulled up his mask awkwardly and said, "I forgot, forgot."
Yinxiang glanced at Fourteen and snorted.
Yinzhen noticed Thirteenth Brother's gaze and silently stepped back.
"This is what my sixth brother and I asked for."
Yin Zhuo said to the eunuch next to him, "Hurry up and get some more masks. Forget it, let's go back first. We're almost done here, but remember to come back regularly. If anything unexpected happens, don't blame me for giving you zero points. Then I'll let the emperor punish you."
Yinzhen said: "Yes! I promise I won't get zero points."
A group of people returned to the palace and crowded into Yin Zhuo's yard.
Then they saw some strange pictures on Sixth Brother's desk.
"What is this?"
Yinzhen looked at the thing with two wheels underneath and asked curiously.
"Oh, this is a carriage. I just drew it randomly."
[Oh, what a regret! I should have studied mechanics earlier. Now I can’t even make a steam engine. I can’t even enter the era of oil, let alone the era of electricity.]
Yes, Yin Zhuo has been thinking about how to draw a steam engine.
[It’s a pity that today’s iron smelting technology is not well developed. Even though I know that the principle of a steam engine is to use water vapor to drive iron blades to rotate and provide kinetic energy to objects, the current metal industry cannot achieve this.]
Yin Zhuo also wanted to become a fat man in one bite, but now he just had to start from the cells.
Yin Zhuo wrote down the iron smelting techniques he had learned in high school.
As for what Kangxi intended others to do, that was none of his business.
Several people were stunned. When they looked at the symbols of iron smelting technology mentioned by Sixth Brother, they were all confused.
What is this?
But there is a text version below. They can understand the text, but the principle is still not clear to them. But what Sixth Brother took out is definitely not fake.
All of them are usable.
So, the sixth brother wanted to use the so-called steam engine to increase the speed of the carriage, but because the current iron and steel industry could not provide the equipment to make steam engines, it was shelved.
Oh, if we could really figure it out, the Wanshou Festival would be so scary.
The Emperor is so majestic. Maybe they can also become majestic by relying on the Emperor and the Sixth Brother.
"You can give it to the Emperor. This is what I dreamed of. Maybe God thought that I was a blacksmith in my previous life."
Yin Zhuo spoke nonsense in a serious manner without blushing or getting nervous.
Even if he had doubts, it didn't matter, since he didn't have much time left to live anyway.
So let it be, let it rot.
Yinsi felt a little sorry for his sixth brother. He said, "Sixth brother, don't think about them that much. They all trust you very much. You are their compass for moving forward."
Without his sixth brother's guidance, Yinsi might still be thinking about how to get along harmoniously with his brothers.
Trying hard to build good interpersonal relationships is really tiring. It would be better for him to follow Sixth Brother's instructions and go to the fields to plow the land and plant crops. He likes this kind of work that only requires physical effort and not brainpower.
Yinzhen studied very seriously and at the same time admired his sixth brother even more.
I stood in front of it and couldn't bear to take my eyes off it. What do those foreign symbols on it mean?
Yinzhen felt that his sixth brother had too many secrets and it was hard to figure them out.
And Sixth Brother is just playing his cards straight out in the open.
But they will protect Sixth Brother.
Yinyou and his friends wanted to see more about the military review, so they sent the three younger ones to run errands.
Yinzhen didn't want to leave either, but he was the youngest after all, and he certainly didn't feel safe leaving such things to the palace maids.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go, but Brother Twelve and Brother Thirteen have to come with me."
Yin'e touched the heads of the three people and said, "Originally, you three were supposed to go together."
Yinzhen looked at his three younger brothers and thought of Eleven. He wondered how Eleven was doing.
Yinzhen and Yinxiang: ...
Well, who made them three little ones? The younger brother is used to run errands. The seventh brother and his brothers also learned from the sixth brother that they would be merciless when calling up the younger brother.
There is no such thing as brotherly love, respect for the old and love for the young.
The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards Yu's study. The closer they got to the Qianqing Palace, the more nervous they became.
"Brother Twelve, you are the eldest brother, you speak."
If Yinzhen had understood the above principles, he would have wanted to do it himself. There was a reason why Sixth Brother said that he had a low level of education.
Yinzhen took a deep breath and realized that he didn't use his brain enough.
Kangxi was meeting Yinzhen, and when he saw that he had lost weight, he felt bad: "You have become darker and thinner. Go back and eat more. You have worked hard."
Yinzhen said: "It's not hard."
Kangxi wanted to say something else when he saw three little princes coming outside the door.
Kangxi: "Come in, why are you three here? Didn't your sixth brother take you to Fengze Garden? What did you do?"
Kangxi suppressed the smile on his face and wanted to hear what the three people had to say.
When Yinzhen saw his fourth brother, his eyes lit up. His fourth brother had returned.
Yinzhen said, "Sixth Brother gave us homework and said he would grade us at the end to see who was the best at farm work."
Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "Not bad, this way you won't be unable to tell the difference between the five grains."
After the three princes paid their respects to Kangxi, they bowed to Yinzhen and said, "Hello, Fourth Brother."
Yinzhen smiled. His face looked much more mature after running around for so many days: "Yeah."
Fourth brother is still as taciturn as ever.
"Fourth brother, you have lost weight."
Yinxiang felt a little distressed. His fourth brother's skin was so rough that it was unbearable to look at it. There were even frostbite on his hands. It seemed that he had ridden all the way back.
"I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital for a checkup later."
Yinxiang was afraid that something might have happened to his fourth brother, so he kept silent and decided to get him checked out to put people at ease.
Yinzhen pouted and said, "Hey, I'll go with you to get checked out~"
His younger brother didn't say anything.
snort.
Yinxiang noticed Fourteen's movements and held out his hand, saying, "Fourteen will go too. Fourth brother, you don't know that when you were away, Fourteen was very good. He and Sixth brother went to get the smallpox vaccination together. He was in very good health and got a smallpox on his body, which made Sixth brother very jealous. Fourteen will go with him later. After all, Fourth brother just came back. Fourteen will finally see the Fourth brother he has been thinking about."
Yinzhen retorted: "I don't have any such thoughts."
"Okay, okay."
Yinxiang agreed, saying that whatever Fourteen said was the truth. He just wanted to say, "Young man, that's not how you say it." Her face had already turned red.
Yinzhen also showed some concern, and Yinzhen talked to them one by one. Finally, after hesitating for a while, he reached out and touched Yinzhen's little head.
"Fourth brother also missed the 14th and bought some gifts, but they will be delivered in two days."
He came back on horseback by himself and separated from Tong Guowei.
Yinzhen's ears felt hot: "...Thank you, Fourth Brother."
There was nothing more to say after that.
Kangxi was not in a hurry. He just watched the brothers getting along with each other and felt his body relax.
Yes, there are no conflicts among them. The fourth child has grown up and after a trip to the south, he even remembers to bring gifts for his younger brothers.
I just don't know if he has any father-in-law, but he won't ask.
"By the way, what are you three doing here?"
Seeing that they had almost finished their conversation, Kangxi couldn't help but interrupt.
If we continued talking, Fourteen would shyly find a hole to hide in.
Yinzhen took out a piece of paper and said, "Sixth brother said that this is a new iron smelting method that he has dreamed of. The iron production rate will be greatly improved. He also said that he wanted to make a steam engine, but the current iron smelting industry cannot keep up, so he cannot proceed to the next step."
Yinzhen explained the purpose of his visit.
Kangxi had also heard Xiaoliu talk about the steam engine, which should be an important machine in the Industrial Revolution.
But just like letting women take the imperial examinations, we have to do it step by step.
The second, third and fifth children are still working on the school matter. I heard that the site has been chosen. The sixth child also plans to build a large library next to the school.
To be honest, Kangxi also wanted to build a museum. He remembered what Xiaoliu said about many treasures of the Qing Dynasty being taken abroad for exhibition and viewing. Since the outcome was already like this, why not take the lead and let everyone see what treasures the Qing Dynasty had.
Let them open their eyes.
But all this still needs to be planned, but Kangxi is already making plans.
But now schools are still the priority, and museums and libraries are secondary.
The main reason is that he is short of money. If he had more money and time, he would have no problem building a few more museums, but his financial resources do not allow it.
"Yes, I accept it and will have someone do it."
Kangxi had one piece of good news that he hadn't told Xiaoliu yet. The kind of colored glass he wanted had been fired, and it was really transparent, with a very high purity, without even a trace of impurities. In this case, the Imperial Hospital should be able to produce some disinfectant alcohol.
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt that good things had been happening one after another during this period, and how could he not be happy.
"By the way, where is your sixth brother?"
How did this thing get the three little ones to come over? What about the others?
In order to go to the garden, they even came in a group to explain the situation to him.
But he came back not long after he went out.
Kangxi handed the paper to Yinzhen, asked him to take a look, and asked several people.
Yinzhen, Yinxiang, and Yinzhen looked at each other, and then Yinxiang said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say this, but my sixth brother has prepared another surprise for you, so he asked us to come over to run errands."
Kangxi immediately said: "Since it is a surprise, don't say it."
No need to think about it, it must be related to the Longevity Festival.
Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth brother, you take a rest for two days. Take Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth brothers with you to receive the foreign envoys. Let them help you. When your second and third brothers finish their work, they will take over from you."
These are all things.
For the first time, Kangxi felt that he had too few sons.
Yinzhen took his thoughts back from the paper and said, "Yes, I will obey your order."
After dealing with Kangxi, Yinzhen looked at the strange symbols carefully again and soon figured out that this was the way to do it.
It turns out that there are so many things in the air that even iron smelting energy can be used.
It's amazing.
Yinzhen returned the paper reluctantly and wanted to go to the prince's residence.
Seeing that they couldn't stay any longer, Kangxi waved his hand and asked them to leave: "Go find Xiaoliu, I'm going to get busy again."
Kangxi sighed, and after he issued the policy on women's education, the people were in chaos and the ministers were also in chaos.
Civilian affairs did not cause much disturbance, after all, studying was a matter of limited scope.
Not everyone can afford to read.
But I also heard that some girls were enrolled in the school, but they were assigned to a separate school for teaching. Most of them were rich and powerful, and the girls who went to school were strong-willed and could not bear losses, so their families agreed to it.
Kangxi was relieved when he heard the news. As long as someone was willing to go to school, it would be fine.
After all, not everyone favors boys over girls.
But the number is still too small.
Kangxi was short of money, and the common people were short of money.
Oh, Xiaoliu...
As soon as Kangxi had this idea, he stopped it immediately and could not be greedy.
Xiaoliu has done what he can. Kangxi's face darkened. His idea just now was too dangerous.
Xiaoliu has shortened his life for the Qing Dynasty and might not survive the month of May. Yet he still thinks that Xiaoliu hasn't done enough. This thought is truly a sin that deserves death. He is sorry for Xiaoliu and for his love for Xiaoliu.
Kangxi calmed himself down and then asked the Minister of War to enter the palace.
The Minister of War was extremely panicked. Although he opposed the policies issued by the emperor, he was not the one who jumped the highest.
Hang Ai was uneasy.
"Greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Hang Ai saluted tremblingly.
Kangxi said, "Stand up, my dear minister, take a look at this. Next year, I want to double the amount of iron smelting."
Hang Ai's face changed: "Your Majesty, this..."
He was already limp, how could he do this?
"My dear, please don't be impatient. Look at this. I am not a tyrant. I have a basis for everything I say."
Kangxi said calmly.
How could the Minister of War be at ease? He is now extremely pessimistic.
But after seeing what was on the paper, his tone became hesitant: "Your Majesty, will this really work?"
"Will I lie to you?"
The Minister of War decided to give it a try: "Okay, I believe the emperor. If the emperor says we can double the money, then we can double it."
What else could he do? This was all the Minister of War could do.
Kangxi liked him like this: "Good, try it as soon as possible, I believe in you."
The Minister of War was deeply moved.
After leaving the palace, go directly to the Ministry of War to look for someone. Time is money, and there is no time to waste.
The Ministry of War closed its doors, and the other five departments panicked, but the Ministry of Industry was not in a hurry either, after all, their textile machines had not been completed yet.
The soles of their feet were worn out, and no one in the Ministry of Works participated in the protest against Emperor Kangxi's women entering the court.
They were so exhausted that they didn't have the time to accompany him to kneel down and be punished.
The Minister of Works felt that these people would not be able to keep their stubbornness for long. After all, the emperor's bad temper was not something that ordinary people could tolerate.
The emperor used to be able to endure it, but now he is just throwing it out. What can you do with him?
He is the emperor and you are a subject.
If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.
Fortunately, Kangxi was not the kind of tyrant who would behead people without saying a word, otherwise those people would have been beheaded long ago.
The Minister of Works just watched the show.
But everyone is curious, and he really wanted to know what good things the emperor gave to the Minister of War. Last time the emperor gave him a method for making a textile loom, so he wondered what the Ministry of War would be this time?
But I believe they will know the answer soon.
So the Minister of Works was not in a hurry.
The Ministry of Revenue has been disciplined and is now the most honest. They are afraid that Kangxi will find fault with them again. They are already numb.
Everyone in the palace was replaced, and vacancies appeared in the court.
Their baskets had not been cleaned yet, so Ma Qi kept his men under control and did not wade in the muddy water.
Half of the six ministries have become obedient, and the Ministry of Personnel can no longer jump around even if it wants to.
The Ministry of Personnel was the most anxious. The Emperor had directly changed the conditions for becoming an official, making it difficult for them to handle the situation.
Oh, it’s really worrying.
But the emperor was too smart. He actually alienated them one by one. This was really insidious.
But everyone is also panicking.
Now the emperor and a dozen princes are very busy in the palace, but they can't reach them and don't know what they are busy with.
The latest news is that the Sixth Prince took his younger brothers to pick up dung.
When people received the reply, they all suspected that their ears were broken.
They couldn't believe what they heard.
That's the high and mighty prince, and he went to farm?
Um???
The Ministry of Revenue is even more cautious. Is the Emperor planning to touch the land?
Thinking about the workload, Ma Qi wished he could just retire.
Are you going to let people live?
If the land is touched, how many people will be offended? And does the emperor have the power to suppress the resistance from the landlords?
I'm afraid there will be another uprising by then.
Now that internal and external troubles have not been resolved, we should stop provoking conflicts. We really can’t stand it.
Just when Kangxi was waiting for those familiar ministers to come and talk to him about Confucianism, he found that they had all become obedient.
I don't know what I'm afraid of.
But Kangxi could only think of one thing, he went to see the Minister of War today.
Haha, I don’t know what these people are thinking, but it’s a good thing that no one bothers me anymore.
Brother's place.
Yinzhen came again, followed by his three younger brothers.
It was rare for Yinzhen to talk so much and tell them about the twists and turns he encountered along the way.
Yinzhen's face was tense: "Fourth brother, were you nervous when you encountered the bandits?"
Yinzhen said: "No, they can't defeat the imperial guards."
Yinzhen did not go there alone, but killed bandits along the way and made many contributions to the local prefect.
In fact, there was only one person who was truly a bandit, and the others were forced to do so by unscrupulous landlords.
Yinzhen was in a hurry, so he left people there. I don’t know how they handled it.
Yinzhen's trip was not in vain, as he saw with his own eyes the lives of the people along the way.
All I can say is that what they are doing now is not enough, far from enough.
Yinzhen felt a little anxious again and tried hard to calm himself down.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time.
This is what Yinzhen said to himself, and it is also what others said to comfort themselves in their hearts.
They knew the danger was coming, but they still had to do something; there was no use in rushing.
Yin Zhuo had also watched the entire military parade, so he wrote down the general process.
The speeches and personnel arrangements were left to Xiaoqi Yinsi and the others.
"Well, you guys take care of the rest."
Yin Zhuo stretched lazily.
But he was exhausted.
Yinsi had the tact to rub Yin Zhuo's hands, which scared Yin Zhuo: "No, no, no."
Yinsi looked a little lonely: "It's okay, Sixth Brother, I saw that Fourteenth helped you in this way before, so..."
Yinsi pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yin Zhuo quickly put his wrist into his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
[Ah, why am I so popular? Yinsi is so nice. No wonder he is so good at dealing with people. He has charmed all the brothers. You know, after the eldest brother failed in framing the second brother, he also planned to push the eighth brother to the top. Even the fourth brother liked the eighth brother when he was a child. Could this kid be a charmer? ]
Yin Zhuo fell into deep thought.
Yinsi's ears have turned red. What is Sixth Brother talking about? What is the term "fascinated by everyone"?
If he was a fan of everyone, would he have been rejected by Sixth Brother just now?
So it must be Sixth Brother who was joking.
Yinsi secretly glanced at his sixth brother who was sitting there and found that his eyelashes were very long. The same was true for his fourth brother and his fourteenth brother.
But from an outsider's perspective, the Fourteenth Brother is more like the Fourth Brother, so Yinsi thinks this is also the reason why the two of them can't get along.
Both of them have a sense of obsession, but the fourth brother suppressed this feeling, and the older he got, the less he noticed it.
Yinsi knew this because the two of them grew up together.
To what extent can the fourth brother be stubborn? Take the time when he was studying in the Shangshufang for example. In order to study, he only slept two hours a day.
We were all relatively young at that time, yet we were able to fight to that extent.
But hard work pays off. Although the fourth brother is not very good at riding, he is still very good in other aspects.
He is also proficient in painting.
This is all forced out from childhood.
He pushes himself.
When Yinsi thought about it, he still felt a little sorry for his fourth brother.
If only Sixth Brother had come back from the future earlier, Fourth Brother wouldn't have had such a miserable life before.
Yinzhen's stubbornness seemed a bit spoiled, after all, he had been the eldest for so many years.
So he is a little arrogant, which is completely different from his fourth brother. But how should I put it? Yinsi feels that the core personalities of the two are the same.
But Sixth Brother is different. Although he has the same eyes, he gives people a sense of trust and makes people trust him.
Yinsi became distracted while rubbing, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had been rubbing his sixth brother's shoulders, and his sixth brother's little head was gradually becoming tired from being rubbed by him.
Yinsi was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Yinyou has become obsessed with studying the procedures that his sixth brother mentioned with Yinlu and Yin'e.
But when they looked at the words above, they felt their blood boiling.
Suddenly, Yin Zhuo thought of something: "Oh, by the way, we also need to prepare two loud speakers. We will have to explain the whole process, and we need to find someone with a large lung capacity."
Yinyou frowned: "Sixth brother, what do you mean by large lung capacity?"
Yin Zhuo: …
"That's the ability to speak loudly and clearly for a long time. In other words, to be able to keep talking for an hour or two."
Yin Zhuo thought about it.
[How can there be so few hosts? There are so many writers who can write the host scripts, they must be more talented than modern people.]
When Yin Zhuo was almost sure of the answer, he suddenly thought of something and his face changed: "No, we need to find those who can speak in plain language but also show literary talent. You know, we are targeting ordinary people."
[Who will understand you when you speak classical Chinese? I hated classical Chinese the most when I was a kid. None of the classical Chinese selected in the textbooks were easy to memorize, especially Li Sao. I would memorize it and forget it, which was very frustrating.]
Yinsi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew Li Sao, so this was selected into that so-called textbook?
I don't know if they have any representative works selected.
Yinyou was also a little excited. So which of their brothers was selected?
【As the saying goes, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, Ming and Qing novels. The poetry of the Qing Dynasty was not well developed, but the novels were still very famous. However, among the four great classics, except for Dream of the Red Chamber, which is from the Qing Dynasty, the others seem to be from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Haha, I remembered something funny. The copyright fee of the IP of Journey to the West alone has exceeded 10 billion... After all, Journey to the West is a TV series that has accompanied a generation of people growing up, and Journey to the West is often used in movies. Who makes Monkey King a handsome, strong and tragic male protagonist? No one, young or old, men or women don't like it. 】
Everyone was confused. What could be worth over 10 billion?
Is this the 10 billion that they understand?
They had indeed heard of Journey to the West, but it was a banned book!
The elixirs written above are all fake.
In order to prevent common people from being deceived, it was banned during the Ming Dynasty.
But according to Sixth Brother, Journey to the West seems to be very popular in the future.
This……
Several people looked at each other and thought, this is something that can make a lot of money.
Yinzhen waited outside the door for a while and frowned. Is this Journey to the West really that profitable?
But how do you make money?
Could it be that they are inviting a troupe of actors to perform?
But it is a banned book after all.
【By the way, Dream of the Red Chamber was written in the Qing Dynasty, but it was also banned by Emperor Qianlong. But who would have thought that a few hundred years later, it would become one of the four great classics. Like Journey to the West, it became very popular. The reason Emperor Qianlong banned the book was because it described some things about officialdom and some bad words that were used to satirize the Qing Dynasty, so it was banned.】
Yinzhen really didn't know what to say. He was now beginning to be curious about what the other two masterpieces were.
Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber are both banned books, no one is more guilty of this.
Yinzhen was so tempted that he wanted to take a look.
Yinyou and the others were also itching to do it, but they all knew that they could not act rashly and had to inform the Emperor first before doing anything.
But some of the things in the banned books are indeed not beneficial to ordinary people.
【In fact, some of the practices of the Qing Dynasty were too absolute, such as closing the country to the outside world and doing everything in a one-size-fits-all manner. Each era has its own characteristics, and what is suitable for this dynasty may not be suitable for the next dynasty. However, taking the essence and discarding the dross may be the reason why modern times have been making progress. Not being blind and having your own judgment is the only way to keep moving forward.】
Yinzhen remained silent for a long time. Xiaoliu was right. So what if it was a banned book? Couldn't we just change the inappropriate parts?
The consequences of their closed-door policy have already been learned from Xiaoliu.
Books that are directly banned will always be popular in the future, even in this era of intellectual poverty.
Ordinary people must have a hero in their hearts.
This hero can come from a book.
Yinzhen made up his mind that he would talk to his father about this matter.
At the same time, Yin Zhuo finally spotted his fourth brother at the door. He turned into a screaming chicken: "Ah——"
[Fourth brother has become ugly——]
Yinzhen, who was originally trying to be moved and holding Xiaoliu, said: …
He mercilessly reached out his hand and pressed down Xiaoliu's head which had been pushing against him.
Yin Zhuo struggled twice, then took two steps back: "Fourth brother, you have lost weight. Don't you know that your younger brother has lost weight all this time thinking about you?"
"Oh? Where have you lost weight? Let me take a good look. Why do I feel like you've gained weight?"
As he said that, Yinzhen pulled Xiaoliu's little face. He could pinch two layers of skin, which meant he had indeed gained weight.
Yin Zhuo saved his little face, tears almost falling out: "Fourth brother...it's true, if you don't believe me, go ask my brothers, and I even got a smallpox vaccination, my arms are all pockmarked."
Yin Zhuo had always had special feelings for Yinzhen.
Now seeing that he couldn't help but became like an ordinary brother and started to speak out his grievances.
Yinzhen's eyes also warmed up: "Xiaoliu is great."
At the same time, he also hated himself in his heart, wishing he were there.
[Wuwuwu, I really became the Sixth Mabao. The Big Mabao must be the Second Brother, and the Third Mabao should be the Fourteenth. ]
Yinzhen was confused. What is Mabao?
Sixth brother is saying negative things about the emperor again.
Yinzhen had been with the sixth brother the longest and knew that "Pockmarked Man and Ma Bao" were derogatory names that people in the future would use to refer to the emperor and his second brother.
But who made Sixth Brother like to say that? Besides, Sixth Brother's pockmarks are on his arms, not on his face.
There was also a mark on his arm.
Yin Zhuo was concerned about by his fourth brother and he felt a pair of fiery gazes staring at him. His fourth brother was checking his arm.
And Fourteen next to them had already started rolling his eyes at the two of them.
Humph, Fourth Brother is double-standard.
