Seeing that Kangxi admitted that the southern tour caused the deficit in Jiangnan, Yinzhen admired and expressed great admiration. As a king, it was really rare to be able to view his unintentional mistakes caused by state affairs so objectively. This open and upright style is indeed worth learning. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "The Emperor Ama is so kind, it is a blessing for thousands of people in Jiangnan. My son led the people in Jiangnan to thank God for his kindness."

"Get up." Kangxi smiled relaxedly, "Your method of maintaining integrity with high salaries seems pretty good, but I am not as generous as you. In addition to Zhu Yanzhi and Chen Pengnian, the remaining three supervisors will be selected for you. I will always choose a few honest ones for you." [.]

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, to be considerate." Yinzhen saw that Kangxi's words meant that the salary of high salary and honest support was too high, so he had to explain: "Emperor Ama, my son will give high salary to the officials of Jiang Customs. It is not only for integrity, but also for the purpose of buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins."

"Oh." Kangxi was slightly stunned, then understood and smiled and said, "Yes, you can take three steps and see them. It is okay to use the poor family members in the customs, but you cannot develop this kind of atmosphere."

"My son is very respectful of the emperor's imperial edict. In fact, there are many children of famous families and gentry in each construction site and navy." Yinzhen hurriedly took this opportunity to point out the children of aristocratic families. In the future, a large number of backbones of the navy will be the children of these famous families. It is necessary to get a vaccination first.

Kangxi slightly turned his head, but changed his topic, "I went out for a walk a few days ago. The rectification of the inner city was very effective. The street was neat and the two rows of trees along the street gave people a good feeling. It seemed that the entire inner city had changed. Walking on the street was refreshing. Well, I found that there were still people cleaning the street at any time, and there were also the manure truck and the coachman. Where did these labor costs come from?"

Yinzhen knew that this was the prelude to asking for money, so he replied respectfully, "Go back to Emperor Ama, Erchen planned to use the money from selling manure to pay for this expense. If it is not enough, there will be additional subsidies."

Selling manure? Kangxi was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "No, killing two birds with one stone. It not only cleanses the capital and fertilizes the land. It is hard for you to come up with such a good way. Now the inner city has been rectified, but the outer city is still filthy. I want to compare the inner city with a case of rectification. What do you want?"

"The emperor Ama's holy thoughts are profound and the outer city is unclean. How can the inner city be protected alone? The inner city is originally one. Although there are city walls separated, people have frequent exchanges, so naturally they must be rectified as usual."

After hearing this, Kangxi thought that Yinzhen had said about preventing the plague before, and he had already appreciated Yinzhen's meaning. Lao Shisi was afraid that the outer city would become dirty and caused the plague to affect the inner city. He was negligent, so he smiled and said, "At the beginning of the month, I asked your starling to make a budget, and the estimated cost of 1.5 million taels of silver. Is this money a source?"

Yinzhen cursed in his heart, you only had a dividend of 1.6 million yuan, so why don’t you lose it? It seems that you are a master who only enters and does not leave. Of course, he only dares to complain about this, but said, "Emperor, today is not as good as before. Although the treasury has not improved at present, it will become rich in a few years. Besides, the Qinhuai River will have a considerable profit next year. However, the reconstruction of the outer city should not be delayed. The son is willing to pay 2 million taels for the rectification of the outer city. It is clear that the income of the Qinhuai River will be reduced to the son in the next two years. Please allow the emperor to allow it."

Kangxi did not expect that Yinzhen had made this idea. The profits of Qinhuai River were still uncertain. However, Lao Shisi should not do anything to suffer losses. It seems that the profits of Qinhuai River were better than he expected. Besides, Lao Shisi's money was not his own pocket. He said immediately: "It's so good."

Then Kangxi said warmly: "You haven't seen your Empress Dowager for more than a year. Let's go and have a look today. Last month, your Empress Dowager was still talking about you in front of me."

In the Qing Dynasty, princes could not contact their mother casually. In the year, New Year's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, birthday, mother's birthday, and five chances to meet. This is to deliberately alienate the relationship between mother and son, avoid interfering in politics in the future and relatives in the foreign country to take power; it also prevents the prince from relying too much on his mother and being too weak in character.

However, Yinzhen stayed in the palace for a long time, and naturally there were more opportunities for mother and son to meet. Concubine De also favored Sisi. Yinzhen knew this very well. He immediately knelt down and thanked him. After getting up, he said: "Emperor Ahma, Erchen went to Guangzhou to rectify Guangdong Customs at the beginning of the year. Emperor Ahma's birthday cannot be caught up. Erchen still has three shares in the "Four Great Hengs". Erchen wants to give Huang Ahma and the Emperor's Mother to each to show his filial piety. He hopes that Emperor Ahma will allow him to do so."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Silly boy, this kind of filial piety is enough. You can keep the shares by yourself. Just give 10,000 silver notes from your mother. If you have too many, your mother will not accept them. For her, you are the best gift, just kneel down and rest."

Yinzhen's biological mother, Concubine De, was born in a humble family. She was a man of a manchu blue flag coat and a mighty daughter. When she first entered the palace, she was just a humble "palace woman" who was responsible for serving tea and water. However, with her extraordinary beauty and intelligence, she gradually ascended the position of the palace master of the Yonghe Palace. Then she won the favor of Kangxi for ten years with her indifferent fame and fortune and never ostentatious personality. She is also anomaly in the Kangxi Palace.

In Yonghe Palace, after Yinzhen greeted Concubine De, Concubine De shouted happily, and then looked carefully up and down. Yinzhen smiled and said, "My mom, I'm fine in Shanghai."

"I've lost weight and dark, yes, but I'm far from my spirit." Concubine De said with a smile, "Your emperor, Ama, asked you to come?"

Yinzhen was relaxed in front of Concubine De, "Yes, Mother Huang, right? I didn't prepare a gift in a hurry, so I had to give you a silver note. Mother Huang kept it for daily rewards."

"Seeing you safe is better than any kind of courtesy." Concubine De smiled and signaled to the maid beside her to pick up the silver bill, and then said, "Have you met your fourth brother when you come back? He is a cold-hearted person. You should be more proactive, you two brothers."

"Yes, the emperor taught a lesson." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Don't talk while standing, sit down. It's rare to come back once. Let's talk more about your affairs in Shanghai with your mom. I heard that you're still making jokes when you take a concubine." Concubine De said with a smile.

The "Sihaichun" restaurant on Yanshou Temple Street is a store gate. You can vaguely hear the sound of "bang bang" repairing wooden tools outside. The shopkeeper Lao Mengtou, however, looked pale and was distracted from time to time. The guy who was welcoming guests was the same as him. Both of them were threatened by masked men in black who had unknown origins last night. When they think about it, they were still trembling and were very afraid.

In Prince Yong’s mansion and the back garden, Yinzhen transferred out of the west courtyard and came to Wu Sidao’s southern courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Sidao drinking tea and reading books around the fire. He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Sir, he is leisurely and elegant, which really makes Yinzhen envious.”

Wu Sidao bowed and smiled, "I am happy and naturally free. The Fourth Master is free today. How about talking about a game with his hands?"

Yinzhen nodded with a smile, pulled open the chair and sat down, and asked casually: "What are the opinions of sir?"

Wu Sidao spread out the chessboard and said, "The Master has decided, why bother with the Fourth Master? Just sit and watch the clouds rise."

Yinzhen sighed lightly, "The Fourteenth Old is becoming more and more favored now. It is really worrying to have both money and soldiers."

"Second Master, why bother to worry too much?" Wu Sidao said without raising his head: "Doesn't you hear that the more you do, the more you make mistakes? The emperor is now in full swing, so why worry? Besides, the fourteenth master is not rich now, and he is just a horn. We just need to catch his mistakes and keep pricking him in the heart of the emperor. If there are too many pricks, it will hurt people one day.

Now he has to be on guard against the Eighth Master. This is a pragmatic approach to his comeback. This is the vein of the emperor. If he blindly knows to win over the ministers, Sidao is not worried. He has to be on guard against this change of style, and the holy heart is unpredictable."
