Li Wei takes the trap

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival is commonly known as the Lantern Festival. The lantern festival is lit on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the two days before and after. The day of watching the lanterns, from the 14th, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who specialize in the festival of lanterns will hang various luxurious palace lanterns in the royal gardens such as the Forbidden City Palace and Changchun Garden. [.]

All kinds of lanterns were hung in front of the gates of the royal family and nobles in the capital, the residences of princes and ministers, the major business names, wealthy businessmen, and common people. Those with status and status were hung with various lanterns, jade lamps, glass lamps, bead lamps, sheepskin lamps, silk lamps, etc., while those with different forms of lanterns were hung with different types of big red lanterns.

At night, the entire Beijing city becomes a sea of ​​lamps, and can be seen everywhere, such as jade lamps in the clear ice jade pot, sheepskin lamps with fine carvings and makeup like shadows, like flower-shaped silk lamps such as peonies, lotus lotus, mandalas, glass lamps with shaped carriages, screens, pagodas, etc., revolving lanterns powered by water and hot air flow, and various ice lamps with great characteristics of Manchu people.

The moon rises to the willows, and the lights in the flower market are as bright as day. Naturally, it is a romantic moment for a passionate boy and a girl in love with the spring. However, Yinzhen was not lucky enough to experience it. He stayed in the palace all day. After a long banquet for foreign vassals, in the evening, he and a group of princes and ministers, foreign vassals and princes, and a large group of concubines accompanied Kangxi to watch lanterns and set off fireworks in the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City.

Although all kinds of luxurious palace lanterns are exquisite, they will become boring after seeing them too much. Yinzhen followed the crowd while admiring them casually, but was thinking about Li Wei in his heart. He didn't know if that kid could do things smoothly?

As soon as the sky was caught, Li Wei rushed to the 'Lao Maji Inn' and knocked on the gate of the backyard where Yu Hongtu and Dai Duo were. When Yu Hongtu opened the door, he saw that it was him and said happily: "How can Brother Li get leisure today?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "The Fourteenth Master went to the palace to watch the lanterns. I happened to take a break today and I have no friends in the capital. I think of you two, would you like to watch the lanterns together?"

"Go together." Dai Duo walked out after hearing the sound and chuckled, "With Brother Li, we don't worry about being squeezed."

"I would like to thank Brother Li for help last time." Yu Hongtu bowed and thanked him.

"Some trivial matters are so good." Li Wei shook his hand and said, "I'm so polite, but I won't treat Li Wei as a friend."

"Happy, Brother Li is really a refreshing person." Dai Duo smiled and said, "Linyi, look at Brother Li's outfit, it's so refreshing and neat. The beauty of the trees is in the wind, so let's go and clean up. It's the moon above the willows. Don't miss this beautiful scenery."

Li Wei changed his former rich gentry dress today, wearing a soapy robe. He was tall and burly. With such a dress, he did have a bit of a beautiful and elegant look. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I have a slutty look on my face. Even though my jade-straight is in the wind, I can only see my back."

Yu Hongtu smiled with a hint of grimness and said, "No visit, we will go to the dim lights today, so won't we see the pockmark?"

"Go and go." Li Wei shook his hand and said, "The lover's eyes are like Xi Shi, and I, Old Li, have a pockmark and a flower on my face."

Yu Hongtu and Dai Duo almost broke their anger. After a while, Dai Duo held back his smile and said, "Brother Li, there are too many flowers on your face."

When the three of them came out, it was already dark, but the streets were full of lights and the lights were filled with bright lights. The streets were bright, as if it was daylight. It was the first time that the three of them went to the capital to celebrate the Lantern Festival, just like a country bumpkin entering the city. There were all kinds of exquisite lanterns, and they were overwhelmed by the three of them, dazzled and fascinated.

There are also people rushing on the streets, coming and going, and young women carrying lanterns can be seen from time to time. However, most of them have servants who are rushing and rushing, and often have a glimpse of a glance, which makes people think endlessly.

When we reach the prosperous place, there are already lights like a sea, people like tides, laughter and joy intoxicating, where we guess riddles, dragon and lanterns, and where we watch singing and dancing, there are even more people, and the noise is everywhere in the sky, and there is almost no place to stand.

Yu Hongtu sighed with emotion: "When is this evening? This feeling should only be seen in the poem."

Dai Duo also said: "Last year in Jiangning, I only thought that Jiangnan was prosperous and unsustainable, but I didn't expect that the luxury of the capital would be so great."

"That's natural, the capital is the place where the essence of the world gathers." Li Wei continued: "This world is getting better and better every year."

"I really didn't expect that several northern provinces have encountered a rare spring drought this year, and there is such a grand occasion."

"The court has money, Fujian is affected by disasters, and the north is affected by disasters. They are all spilling out silver to provide relief. In the past, things that I dare not even think about."

After walking until midnight, the three of them returned to the inn. Li Wei paid the money and called the banquet. Yu Hongtu was quite dissatisfied, "Today is full of fun, why should Brother Li spend more money?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Of course I have to eat Lantern Festival. In addition, in a few days, I will go to Jiangnan with the Fourteenth Master. Today's opportunity is rare, so let's stop when we get drunk."

Hearing that the separation was about to come, the three of them were very excited and the meal was delivered. Li Wei raised his glass and said, "Li Wei wishes the two brothers a title and the top of the high school list."

After two glasses of wine, the three of them became more excited. Li Wei was interested and took special care of Yu Hongtu. After a few rounds, he poured Yu Hongtu on the table.

He and Dai Duo were the only ones on the table. Li Wei smiled and said, "I didn't expect Lin Yi to be so bad. The night is long, so let's be more relaxed."

After eating some Lantern Festival and using some dried fruits, Li Wei suddenly said, "There is another thing today. I don't want to be happy, but I actually forgot."

"What else does Brother Li do?" Dai Duo was quite curious.

Li Wei slapped his head and said repeatedly: "I have an idea to offer it to the Fourteenth Master, but I have no idea if it is suitable. I don't know if it's suitable? The two are well-readers, and I want them to give them an idea."

After hearing this little thing, Dai Duo couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the problem? Brother Li, please tell me, let's talk while drinking."

"Then I'll be ugly." Li Wei smiled and said, "I have read the industrial and commercial tax reform in the Beijing News and have some insights. I also want to work hard to make a tax reform. At present, the land annexation in the south of the Yangtze River is powerful, and the number of people without land is increasing. It is often difficult to collect the Ding Fu in the court. I was thinking, if I put the Ding Fu in this way..."

"It's spread out into the land, right?" Dai Duo asked with a smile.

Li Wei was stunned, stared at Dai Duo, and asked hesitantly: "Brother Zhigao has heard of it?"

Dai Duo chuckled and said, "This method was first known as the whip method. However, it was abolished after not long implementation."

Li Wei was very upset and fucked a glass of wine, saying self-deprecatingly: "This is different from that of those who have never studied. Fortunately, I come to ask you. If you tell me directly to the Fourteenth Master, you will be shameless to see people." He put down the wine glass and asked curiously: "Why is this a whip method abolished?" While asking, he poured Dai Duo a glass of wine attentively.

"It's very simple. This method offends the gentry." Dai Duo smiled and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to waste his energy in this regard. The Fourteenth Master not only has money, but also the Holy Junk Shenlong, how could he offend all the gentry?"

Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I have been thinking hard for two days. I am also planning to suggest that all officials and gentry pay the food..."

"Your family is also a gentry. Why do I feel like you have a grudge?" Dai Duo shook his head and smiled and said, "Come on. Drink."

Li Wei drank the wine in one sip and sighed, "I want to submit to the 14th Master. Look, the court is now in a customs reform and an industrial and commercial tax reform. It is true that there are preferences from the top and sub-district investment."

"Puchi" Dai Duo immediately sprayed out a sip of wine. After choking for a long time, he smiled and said, "If the superiors have something to do, the subordinates must have a lot of things. Good sentences will become unrecognizable when they come to your mouth."

After the banquet was over and over, Dai Duo tossed and turned, unable to sleep when he returned to his room. Although Li Wei did not read much, he was extremely clever and had a very accurate vision. The court has indeed developed a trend of innovation, and it was all made by the Fourteenth Master. Li Wei wanted to gain a new background by innovation, but the way was good, but the method was not worth using it.

When he thought of Li Wei, he couldn't help but feel envious. This guy was really lucky and actually became the Fourteenth Master's personal guard in just a few days. His future prospects are probably stronger than ordinary Jinshi. Following this idea, he thought of a group of princes. Kangxi grew older and the prince lost power. I don't know which prince could become the new king? Thinking of this, he didn't find it funny. What does this have to do with him? I will take the Jinshi exam first.

After the Spring Festival, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival faded day by day.

This Spring Festival, the capital was peaceful and Shanghai was fine. Yinzhen was very comfortable, but there were too many banquets in the palace, which made him helpless. However, it was related to filial piety and etiquette. Even if he was not happy, he would not dare to complain at all.

On the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, Zheng Shichang rushed to Prince Xun's mansion to pay homage.

Yinzhen summoned him in the study room. When he sat down with a gift, he smiled and said with a smile: "But the printing workshop of the Beijing News has been planned to be built?

Zheng Shichang bowed and replied, "Go back to the prince, the printing workshop has indeed been completed, but... to complete tens of thousands of daily printings, the scale is a bit larger, but I am very idle on weekdays..."

"How can you be idle?" Yinzhen said dismissively: "Do you want to take on some other printing business? No problem, it doesn't affect the issuance of the Beijing News. In the future, my king's printing business will be handed over to you."

"My subordinate, Prince Xie, was kind." Although Zheng Shichang knew that Yinzhen would not make things difficult for him, he did not expect that he would be so happy.

Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "Is there any progress in the improvement of silver notes printing technology?"

Hearing this, Zheng Shichang felt a little ashamed and bowed to his body, saying, "I am ashamed. After two years, the printing technology has not improved significantly."

This was as expected by Yinzhen. If there was any progress, Zheng Shichang would have reported the good news long ago. He pondered slightly before he said, "The improvement of paper must have made no progress, right?"

"I am ashamed." Zheng Shichang was slightly uneasy.

"You are so old that it is a bit difficult to get you responsible for the technological innovation of printing and paper." Yinzhen said lightly.
