Capital.

Throughout March, there was no rain in the north, many rivers and streams broke down and ponds dried up. Governments in various places began to hold rain prayers of different sizes.

Kangxi was no exception. He prayed for rain in the palace. Those who did not eat meat for more than ten days. On the sixth day of the April 1st, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor Li An reported that there might be light rain recently. Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately issued an order to hold a festival tomorrow, which was to ask for rain in the Circular Mound.[.]

At dawn on the seventh day of the fourth month, Kangxi wore a sacrificial robes and led the ceremonial guards. Later, he accompanied the officers and took a chariot from the Temple of Heaven to the Circular Mound Altar.

Before the first floor of the altar, Kangxi first put three incense sticks, then offered three incense pieces, and then went to the sages of the sages to burn incense in sequence. Return to the second floor to worship, perform three kneeling and nine bows, and the officials also knelt down. The second item is to offer jade and silk to lay jade and silk. The third item is to offer meat to sacrifice. The fourth item is to perform the first tribute: the emperor ascended to the altar to the throne, kneeled to offer titles, placed it in the middle, and then everyone knelt down. The official of the minister stood in the center of the altar, knelt down and read the blessings written to God, and the emperor led his ministers to perform three bows...

Kangxi always regarded farming as the foundation of the country, but North China had been drought for nine years. In this era when relying on the weather to make a living, praying for rain became a compulsory lesson for Kangxi every year.

When I returned to the Yangxin Palace, the rain did not come, but Yinzhen's secret letter arrived.

After just looking at the beginning, Kangxi felt his heart trembled. More than 200 desperate people holding sharp blades and arrows were assassinating Yinzhen on the Burning Street of Guangzhou City! The flesh and blood were crippled! These four words appeared in his mind, "A group of beasts!" He muttered hatefully and began to pace quickly in the hall. Who is it? Prince? The eighth? The third one is impossible, the fourth one is impossible, the prince? There is no reason. The fourteenth one is separated from the eighth party. He should be happiest. How could he kill the fourteenth one at this time? Could it be the eighth one? Because of the fourteenth one’s betrayal?

Kangxi turned around and looked at the two Qinghai bows that he had sent with the secret letter. He narrowed his eyes slightly. The Qinghai bow was not three or five years of training but could not show off. The eighth Lao had this scheming and forbearance, and he would not jump out so quickly when he pushed the prince. Could it be that there were still people hiding in the dark? But why did the example of the fourteenth Lao, and the boss, just attacking the fourteenth, still be there? Do they have no awe?

The more he thought about it, the more bored he became. The prince was trained by him for more than 30 years, and now he is ready to move. The eldest, third, fourth, eighth, ninth, thirteenth, and fourteenth are not a fuel-efficient lamp. The prince's affairs are not over yet, and a ugly drama of brothers fighting each other has been caused. It is no longer a question of whether there is a prince. How can we suppress these restless unfilial sons?

After a while of silence, Kangxi still couldn't figure it out, so he had to put down the problem first, and then sat back and read the secret note carefully. Seeing Yinzhen transferring grain from Liangjiang to Tianjin, he couldn't help but sigh. Everyone only saw the grain transportation, but they didn't expect that the sea transportation could also transfer grain. The old fourteenth had a unique vision. When he was released from Beijing, it seemed to be extremely correct now.

Just through this matter, he put the customs, sand ship association, and the "Four Great Heng"

The role of the company has been brought to the extreme, which has opened a new model. If it works, the taxes and grains of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Liangjiang can be transported by sea in the future. This can reduce a lot of pressure on the transportation of the canal. I really haven't seen on weekdays that the things that the Eleventh fisted on canal can be used in emergency use, which is directly related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

When he saw Yinzhen talking about preventing the plague early, he couldn't help but slightly. This problem should be prevented as soon as possible. Later, when he saw the promotion of three high-yield crops, Kangxi hesitated. Corn and sweet potatoes were planted in a small amount of coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, and the yield was quite gratifying. He had heard of it, but this thing can be used as a staple food? Besides, the climate and soil in the north are very different from those in the south of the Yangtze River. Can these crops be promoted in the north? This spring drought has caused serious disasters. If the promotion does not have any effect or even fails, the pressure this year will be great.

Before the letter was finished, Yinzhen mentioned that the establishment of a co-guild in Macau was established. Kangxi not only laughed secretly, but the Fourteenth Old is more radical than all ministers in preventing Westerners, and he did not know where his sense of crisis came from.

At this time, Li Dequan heard the soft voice of "Congratulations to the emperor, it's raining."

"Yeah." Kangxi was happy and looked out the window excitedly. Sure enough, it was already drizzling outside. He couldn't help but get up and walk to the door. It had not seen rain for more than a month. Although it was light rain, it could still inspire people.

Kangxi was excited, but he glanced at Xiao Yongzao coming in a hurry in the light rain. Seeing his rushing look, it didn't seem like a good thing. He couldn't help but return to the imperial case and sat down. Xiao Yongzao had already jogged in. After seeing the ceremony steadily, he submitted an 800-mile document with both hands, "Report to the Emperor, Quanzhou, Fujian, Zhangzhou and Funing, the hungry people riots, and now the three prefectures of Longyan, Yanping, Tingzhou, and Fujian is half a province of erosion."

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this. It turned out to be a riot in Fujian. During this period, he had been paying attention to Shandong and Shanxi. He gritted his teeth secretly. He even hid me. Suddenly he frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Quanzhou and Zhangzhou and Funing, I intercepted 300,000 grain grains to help the people who were affected. How could the hungry people riot?"

Xiao Yongzao bowed heavily and said, "Back to the emperor, before the hungry people riot, he posted a letter saying that local officials embezzled relief money and grain, and secretly colluded with wealthy families to gather together, and took the opportunity to annex the land."

"What a courage!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and sneered: "I am lenient and raised a group of officials who are inferior to pigs and dogs. Even if they dare to extend their hands on disaster relief money and food." After pausing, he asked in a stern manner; "Where are those local officials?"

Seeing Kangxi getting angry, Xiao Yongzao said repeatedly: "Slaves deserve to die, the emperor calms down. Those local officials have been killed by the rioters."

"It's cheaper for them." Kangxi said, then looked down at the memorial. These were two memorials, one was from the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the other was from the admiral of Fujian, Lan Li. Lan Li had already divided into three groups to fight against him, and Fan Shichong proposed to fight against him and use him to fight against him. Kangxi looked through it and kept silent.

Fujian is already poor and the people are strong. This time, the number of thieves is as high as 100,000, which is extremely difficult to calm down. The court did not know how much manpower and material resources it would cost. Xiao Yongzao originally thought that Kangxi would be angry after seeing the memorial, but unexpectedly it was silent and could not help but take a look.

But when Kangxi looked up and pondered, he couldn't help but lower his head quickly. Kangxi pondered for a while but changed the topic, "Monday Prince Yinzhen had already transported grain from sea to Tianjin Customs by sea. You took the Ministry of Revenue to arrange personnel to receive it. You can clearly agree with the customs. Anyone who dares to embezzle disaster relief money and grain, exterminates the family and confiscates the family."

"Zha, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to explain it when I leave the palace." Xiao Yongzao hurriedly kowtowed, but he was curious. I don't know how much Yinzhen donated this time?

Kangxi continued: "Disasters in various places, have the statistical results ever been released?"
