Chapter 254 Thick-skinned



For example, he was still very playful and couldn't control his playful nature, so he brought it into the classroom to play. As a result, he was caught by the tutors, his toys were confiscated, and he was given a beating.

When Mingxiu heard the news, she silently mourned for them for a while, and then put it out of her mind. It wasn't her fault.

Although this year's Lunar New Year was not as lively as in previous years, it was not much different for Yonghe Palace. Anyway, Mingxiu always thought that as long as there was good food, new clothes, couplets, and fireworks to play with during the Lunar New Year, it would be fine. These were all easy to achieve, so she and the palace quickly got to work.

After Yinreng began to rest in the Imperial Study, he basically spent all his time in Yonghe Palace. Apart from sometimes playing with Yinzhi and the others, or staying in Qianqing Palace with Kangxi to handle some matters, he spent most of his time in Yonghe Palace.

During this period, since there was not much to do, Mingxiu had fattened them up a bit. However, Yinreng was tall and did not look fat. He just looked more gentle and refined. Kangxi was also fattened up a little, but because he exercised a lot, it was only a little bit and had no impact.

Because everyone was always around and watching him every day, Yinreng couldn't tell. By the time he could tell, the New Year was already over. Yinreng was shocked when he saw the little belly he had gained during this time, and felt like the sky had fallen.

He has never been this fat before, especially for a young man who is now aware of his appearance. Getting fat is really a problem.

Therefore, Yinreng could only try his best to control his mouth and get moving. He asked Kangxi to find him a martial arts instructor, and he practiced with him every day. Not only him, but also Yinzhi and Haha Zhuzi, who followed the two of them, practiced with him.

In fact, Yinzhi did have a martial arts instructor, but practicing on his own was nowhere near as exciting as having a few little admirers around who would shower him with compliments from time to time.

So he happily practiced with Yinreng and the others, only the training was different.

The snow disaster that everyone feared at the beginning of the year did not happen as everyone wished, but it still happened. So Emperor Kangxi has been very busy these days. However, because the court promptly distributed disaster relief grain, the damage was not too great.

However, the repeated disasters caused the people to have some complaints about the court, so Kangxi was not in a good mood during this period.

Knowing that Yinreng had given Kangxi a bad idea, Kangxi looked at Yinreng with a strange expression in the Qianqing Palace, not understanding at all.

Seeing the puzzled look in Kangxi's eyes, Yinreng walked to Kangxi's side and bowed in a rather lewd manner, saying, "Father, think about it, aren't we all very busy during disaster relief?"

Kangxi nodded, then moved a little further away from Yinreng, looking somewhat disdainful.

"So, the common people are all waiting to eat, and when the court officials pass by and see everyone eating, they do so quietly, afraid of disturbing them," Yinreng continued.

Emperor Kangxi thought for a moment. He hadn't personally participated in disaster relief, so how could he know so much? But judging from the memorials sent from various places, that seemed to be the case.

Then he nodded.

Then Yinreng became even more excited: "Well, you see, Father Emperor, the reason why the people have complaints is that although they have seen the disaster relief grain, when the disaster occurs, they don't have anyone to specifically thank for the disaster relief grain, and they don't know the hard work the court put into preparing this disaster relief grain."

"Think about it, if the people knew how hard the imperial court prepared for disaster relief, how much effort it put into procuring food, and how local officials worked tirelessly every day during the disaster relief period, becoming thin and tanned, and even fainting several times from exhaustion, wouldn't everyone understand how difficult it was for the imperial court to provide disaster relief?"

"At that time, wouldn't everyone be grateful to the court and the officials? With their emotions having an outlet, they naturally wouldn't have any complaints about the court. After all, everyone knows in their hearts that natural disasters are God's business, and the court has already done its best to save the situation. The court is always thinking about its people."

After Yinreng finished speaking, Emperor Kangxi...

? ? ?

You can do it like that!

Emperor Kangxi was greatly shocked.

But there was no better way at the moment, so after thinking for a long time, Kangxi nodded and said, "Let's do it this way for now. Control the intensity and don't go too far. What if people don't believe us later?"

Emperor Kangxi directly assigned this task to Yinreng, asking him to praise himself, but Yinreng found it difficult to do so.

Since this matter was proposed by Yinreng, it should naturally be entrusted to him for responsibility.

The child is grown up now, it's time for him to share the burdens of his imperial father.

After saying that, he waved his hand, not even glancing at the distressed and unwilling Yinreng, and dismissed him.

Yinreng was successfully driven outside again, staring at the tightly closed door and the eunuch standing at the door.

After a long while, Yinreng rubbed his sore eyes and left with his men, still feeling indignant.

He might not be able to bring himself to praise her, but he could find someone who could.

So Yinreng went to the Ministry of Rites again, intending to find someone there who could do the job and then delegate the task.

Mingxiu was unaware of Yinreng's idea; if she had known, she would have thought that this system must be some kind of 21st-century marketing genius.

Isn't this just a classic marketing tactic?

When I found out, I was truly astonished. They really had entrusted everything to Yinreng.

Emperor Kangxi was initially not optimistic about Yinreng's method, but he had no other choice, so he decided to let him give it a try.

Unexpectedly, Yinreng's method brought him a great deal of unexpected benefit.

Emperor Kangxi was quite surprised when he saw the people's effusive praise for the court in the memorials. He hadn't expected that this method would actually work.

Kangxi was immediately delighted, as this major threat had been eliminated, and this method could be used in the future.

So Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and ordered all the disaster-stricken areas to do the same.

Soon, good news came from all over the country.

Emperor Kangxi was so happy every day that the atmosphere in the palace improved considerably.

Mingxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't like going out, she also disliked the tense atmosphere in the palace.

Because of the ample food supply, the disaster relief work was completed quickly. Emperor Kangxi was very fortunate that the Qing Dynasty had these two treasures of grain, which enabled them to supply these people.

He wouldn't even dare to think about it if it weren't for that.

At the same time, the lifting of the sea ban was also very encouraging. Because of the lifting of the sea ban, many jobs were created that required manpower, so many people were able to find work, which to some extent relieved the pressure on the imperial court.

Moreover, the country has made a lot of money during this period, which has increased the national treasury, allowing for more generous and comprehensive disaster relief efforts to benefit the people.

Thanks to Yinreng's clever planning, the snow disaster was brought to a perfect end.
