Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"In my opinion, Mr. Jiagui is suffering from heart disease, and heart disease requires heart medicine." Lang Hua advised again.

Although Jin Yuyan was not favored by the emperor, she was honest and honest, so she was highly regarded by Langya.

In the palace, she and Gao Xiyue were both popular people in front of Langya. Therefore, Lang Hua was also willing to help them speak a word to please the emperor.

"I don't have the medicine for her." Xiang Nan waved his hand, then stood up and said.

"What does the emperor mean by this?" Lang Hua asked doubtfully after hearing this. She could tell that Xiang Nan seemed to have something in his words.

"Langya, although you are virtuous, you still don't have enough experience. You have forgotten that there is a saying in this world, which is called 'Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts'." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Some people appear to be your good sisters, but in fact they are your good sisters." Do you really know what you think in private?"

"..." Lang Hua was stunned again after hearing this.

"I won't say anything unnecessary. You can think about it yourself." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "You can only gain wisdom after going through a ditch."

Langhua could only nod.

…

"Su Lian, what do you think the emperor means?" After Xiang Nan left, Lang Hua called Su Lian to him and asked.

"My servant didn't understand either. It seems to be alluding to Jia Gui. It's not as simple as it seems. One thing in front of you and another behind your back." Su Lian thought for a while and said.

"I think that's the meaning too." Lang Hua nodded, "The emperor also said, 'I don't have the medicine to cure her heart disease', but it seems to mean that there is someone else in Jiagui's heart."

"That seems to be the case." Su Lian nodded.

"No wonder the emperor has been treating all his concubines equally for so many years, but he doesn't want to see Mr. Jia Gui anymore." Lang Hua nodded and said, "That's it."

"However, Mr. Jiagui should be loyal to the empress, right?" Su Lian asked again.

"I thought so before the emperor said it. But after listening to the emperor's words, I am not sure now." Langhua waved her hands and said, "Su Lian, please help me pay more attention to Jiagui in the future to see if she is One thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.”

"Yes, empress." Su Lian nodded.

…

In the following period, Xiang Nan continued to promote the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The tax revenue of more than ten checkpoints under its jurisdiction were all handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs by Xiang Nan, including Chongwenmen, Left-wing Tax Yamen, Right-wing Tax Yamen, Guihua City, Shanhaiguan, Zhangjiakou, etc...

These tax cards can earn Xiang Nan hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, but in fact, most of the tax money has been embezzled by the tax officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Not only did they line their own pockets and harm the public, they also imposed additional taxes and made business trips miserable. But because the tax collectors were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even local officials and censors could not interfere.

Therefore, Xiang Nan handed over the tax cards originally controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and local officials were responsible for collecting taxes. In this way, if local officials dare to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the Yushi Yanguan will not sit idly by and ignore it.

Compared with leaving it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is much more transparent.

Cha Bilong, the Minister of Household Affairs, was naturally very happy to suddenly get so many tax cards. As the Minister of Household Affairs, the more channels for making money, the better.

In the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these checkpoints can only earn four to five million taels of silver per year.

But after the Ministry of Household Affairs takes charge, tax revenue can be increased by at least two million taels every year, which will be of great use.

Xiang Nan also plans to establish a shipping department in the future to do business with the world and replace the Thirteenth Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. By then, the Qing Dynasty could make a lot of money from overseas trade alone.

…

"The grass on Liliyuan grows old and withers every year. Wildfires cannot burn it out, but it grows again when the spring breeze blows..." A child recited aloud.

"Yong Cong, you memorized it very well." Xiang Nan nodded approvingly, "Next, Yong Qi, "Painting"."

"Looking at the mountains from a distance, the mountains are colorful, but up close, the water is silent. Spring has gone, the flowers are still there, and the birds are not surprised when people come." Another little boy recited loudly.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "You have learned your lessons well. Emperor Ama is very satisfied. Li Yu, reward!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yu responded, and then handed the gifts prepared by Xiang Nan to the princes.

After Xiang Nan had lunch every day, he would come to the study to take a look and check on his brothers' homework.

Nowadays, there are three princes studying in the study room, namely the eldest elder brother Yong Huang, the second elder brother Yong Cong, and the third elder brother Yong Qi.

The eldest brother Yonghuang was born in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign. He is now eight years old and has begun to study the Four Books. In addition, Xiang Nan also wrote to him about mathematics, foreign languages, geography, and physics, so that he could learn more knowledge.

The second elder brother, Yongcong, was born in the tenth year of Yongzheng reign. He is five years old this year and is currently studying the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand Character Classic. In addition, Xiang Nan also wrote Pinyin teaching materials so that his pronunciation can be more accurate.

The third elder brother, Yongqi, was born in the eleventh year of Yongzheng, only four months younger than Yongcong. Now he is also studying in the study room, and he is also learning the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand-Character Classic.

…

What Xiang Nan prepared for Yonghuang was a pure mud inkstone. Chengni inkstone was once one of the four famous inkstones, together with Duan inkstone, She inkstone and Tao inkstone. However, Duan inkstone, She inkstone and Tao inkstone are all made of stone, while Chengni inkstone is actually fired from clay.

Because the production method is extremely complicated and the production process is also very confidential, by the early Qing Dynasty, the production of Chengni Inkstone had been lost.

Therefore, the price of the pure mud inkstone, which is the only one left in the world, has naturally doubled. One inkstone is worth thousands of gold, which is really incredible.

However, the pure mud inkstone that Xiang Nan gave to Yonghuang was made by him using the ancient method at his request. The ancient method of making Chengni inkstones was recreated after the founding of New China.

Xiang Nan inherited Cheng Jianjun's porcelain making technology and had a certain understanding of it, so according to his method, the manufacturing office fired a batch of pure mud inkstones.

Xiang Nan also plans to bake some lost ancient porcelain, such as secret color porcelain, Ru kiln, and Jun kiln, for sale in the future. High-end porcelain is already very popular, and Xiang Nan believes that these antique porcelain can be sold at a very good price.

What he rewarded Yong Cong was a set of fine Hu brushes. Hu pens are known as "the crown of pens". A set of high-quality Hu pens can be worth up to one hundred taels of silver.

What was awarded to Yongqi was a high-quality Hui ink. Hui ink, Duan inkstone, rice paper, and Hu pen are the best among the four treasures of the study, with the greatest reputation and the best quality.

Hui ink falls off the paper like paint, with a dark and lustrous color that does not fade over a long period of time. It does not stick to paper and pen, has a strong fragrance, and has rich texture and smooth texture. It is known to be light when picked up, clear when rubbed, fragrant when smelled, hard as jade, and silent when grinding. A little bit is like paint, and it has a reputation that lasts forever. It is just right to give it to Yongqi.

…

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, for your reward~" The three of them knelt down and kowtowed.

"Everyone, get up." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I give you inkstones, pens, and ink in the hope that you can study well. Reading can learn knowledge, inspire wisdom, understand truth, cultivate sentiment, and increase self-cultivation. Amma I hope each of you can get happiness from books."

"My son, I would like to obey the teachings of Emperor Ama." The three of them said again.

"Okay, you guys study hard." Xiang Nan said, touching the heads of the three of them.

Yong Huang, Yong Cong, and Yong Qi all laughed happily.

Xiang Nan then told the teacher who went to the study room, "Make sure the children have time to play and don't just study blindly. Children are spiritual. Too strict control will destroy the children's spirituality."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The teacher nodded.
