Chapter 1204: Ideal, Ideal, Ideal

As soon as I entered the East Warehouse, the familiar smell of sandalwood came to my face.

This is the sandalwood from Qingliang Temple in Jiangning. It has now become a tribute dedicated to the inner court and does not need to be transferred by Cao Yong.

After Cao Yong knelt down and saw him, Yongzheng waved his hand and said, "Get up and reply."

Cao Yong rose up in response to the sound, lowered his head and stood on the side, looking at his nose, his nose, and his mouth.

Yongzheng couldn't help but look at Cao Yong, then looked at the Thirteenth Prince again, and by comparison, he could see something else.

When Cao Yong constrained himself in front of the mirror, he felt that he had been too worried and was a little old.

When I didn’t have a beard a few years ago, I was able to dress up as a boy. Now I am in a high position. For the sake of my official power, I have a beard and look much more steady.

In addition, in the past two years in Zhili, I often followed Tang Zhiyu to run down, and my originally fair face became much tanned, which faded away the wealth and honor, leaving behind some vicissitudes of time.

But where can I compare with the Thirteenth Prince?

The Thirteenth Prince was worried about the emperor and said that he would not sleep for two hours a day; how could the Thirteenth Prince, the Prime Minister Wang, who was leaned by the emperor as his right-hand man, avoid leisure?

Cao Yong was just becoming more and more steady, but the Thirteenth Prince was old.

Yongzheng felt a little sad and envied Cao Yong's youth.

His face was unstable, and the Thirteenth Prince was a little anxious. He didn't know why the emperor changed his face, and he had the intention of appreciating Cao Yong just now.

Cao Yong also felt his scalp numb, and the feeling of being looked at and looked at by the Lord of Nine Five was really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Yongzheng finally looked away, raised the Hai Trade Treasure Chen, snorted, and said, "I thought you were a cautious person earlier, so how can I talk big now? If you really gather the wealth of the people to enrich the country as you said, even if you can temporarily suspend land annexation, how long can you delay it? When the gold and silver increase, will the merger become more and more serious?"

In fact, Cao Yong didn't need to consider this issue at all, because it took less than two years to come, the policy of "gentry and gentry paying food together" would come out.

Cao Yong knew it, but he still showed a revelation and said in fear: "I can't blame you. I always feel that I have neglected something. It turns out that it is here. I also ask the emperor to forgive me. It's because of the inadequate thoughts. I just thought that the treasury was not rich in money and the people have a lot of money, so I had this shallow idea."

Yongzheng's expression was a little soothing. Cao Yong was here after his experience. It was not easy to be able to focus on his own acre and three-point land. He could not be far-sighted.

Yongzheng threw down Tiao Chen and said, "Treatment of symptoms but not root causes is of no benefit to the local area."

Cao Yong listened honestly. The so-called "for the local area" is just to raise the banner, but to boost the fire and promote maritime trade.

When Yongzheng and the powerful taste the sweetness of sea trade, Cao Yong would not have to worry about it, and naturally someone would be willing to be the driving force.

Next, Yongzheng asked several questions about the maritime trade.

Although Cao Yong was prepared, he was still sweating when asked.

Listening to Yongzheng's intention, he wanted the court to take over the majority and handle the matter.

If that were the case, wouldn’t it start with shipbuilding? There were too many yamen involved, and I still didn’t know what it would be like in the end.

According to Cao Yong's idea, it is best to supervise the court, and to bid for the Interior Government, to recruit powerful merchants to join forces to carry out this matter. Like the East India Company, it goes abroad in the form of economic and trade, and defends the enemy outside the country.

It can be seen that Yongzheng was quite interested, so Cao Yong listened honestly.

There is really no need to argue with Yongzheng at this time. After reading it for more than ten years, he knew that Yongzheng's temperament was the most pragmatic, not a false reputation.

If he had devoted his strength to the country, he might be able to form a large fleet and voyage to the West of the Qing Dynasty, but that was not Yongzheng's style of conduct.

But now he is rising. When he calms down, he will calculate the expenses and income, and will eventually slow down.

When Cao Yong asked him to kneel down, both Yongzheng and Cao Yong, the monarch and ministers, were satisfied.

"Cao Yong is quite diligent, but he is still young and needs a good life experience." Yongzheng said to the Thirteenth Prince with a warm face.

The Thirteenth Prince echoed: "Yes, I need the emperor's guidance to be able to have a more clear vision."

Having said that, he knew that the emperor was satisfied with Cao Yong.

The emperor is a person with great affection and nature. If he likes him, he will be very good; if he is disgusted, no matter how good he is, it will be bad.

Now Zhang Tingyu is in charge of his family, and there are some rumors about the Ministry of Revenue in front of the imperial court. Although some say that Zhang Tingyu relies on his identity to suppress Cao Yong, some say that Cao Yong is dissatisfied with his slacking off work.

For this matter, the emperor also asked him specifically whether Cao Yong had complained.

The current situation of this sea trade shows that Cao Yong is still diligent and has no complaints or grievances when answering the questions in front of the emperor, which is exactly the same as the emperor's thoughts...

After leaving the palace, the sky was already dark. Cao Man took a few Changsui, carrying lanterns, and waiting not far away.

Cao Yong's mouth curled slightly, and Yongzheng asked him to make additional supplements about the sea trade matters, and draft a detailed statement to discuss it first.

Needless to say, in that case, the person who led the lead would not be him Cao Yong, but Zhang Tingyu.

This is very good. After all, the whole country's trade was the first time in the Qing Dynasty. I still don't know how many right and wrong and mistakes would occur.

Cao Yong was depressed by no achievements, but instead gave birth to a bit of ease under the big tree to enjoy the cool air.

When I returned to Cao's mansion, I entered the second gate and walked a few steps before I saw Chu Yu coming out of the second gate.

Cao Yong looked at the upper room of Yanlan Garden, and through the glass window, figures flashed inside.

Cao Yong was a little surprised: "The children are still in the old lady's room?"

"The children are waiting for the master to come back for a reunion dinner." Chu Yu smiled and said, "I can't persuade you, so I can only let them."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "Why do you allow them to make trouble? There are old people above and young people below. How about being hungry?"

"I just ate the buns. Since the children are all in their hearts, I should bear it." Chu Yu said.

After hearing this, Cao Yong still slowed down his pace and returned to Wutongyuan to change his clothes. Then the couple returned to Lanyuan.

From Gao Taijun to Tianbao, four generations of people live together, and there are about ten people. In addition, Zuo Cheng, the brothers, everyone sat at a large table.

The hot pickled cabbage pot, the barbecue steak that Hang Seng likes the most, and the looted meatballs that the Zuozhu brothers like to eat, were placed on a full table.

Except for Tianbao snuggling beside Li and eating a few meatballs with spoons, everyone else poured the "Five Blessings Wine" brewed by Cao's mansion in front of him.

Although the teenagers are not old and should not drink alcohol, this "Five Blessings Wine" is fruit wine, which is not easy to get drunk, so Cao Yong did not stop him.

This is Hang Seng’s welcoming wine, and the guys must raise their glasses to toast him.

Hengsheng was very happy to see everyone coming from him. He was very happy. He was the elder brothers who passed the imperial examination, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng's marriage, his father's safety, his uncle's disaster, and his old lady was healthy and peaceful.

After a round, he ate a lot of wine.

Tianyou was beside him, a little worried, so he took the wine pot one step ahead and said, "My second brother has eaten a lot, it's almost done."

Heng Seng looked slightly drunk and smiled, "Brother, this wine is like sugar water, it's really not good. My brother is happy when he got home, so he will let me eat two more cups."

Tianyou wanted to say something else, Cao Yong said, "Pour it for him, and he is in a hurry to go on the road. I think I'm tired, so I can eat some wine and have a good sleep."

When his father spoke, Tianyou naturally had nothing to say, so he poured it for Hang Seng, and then filled his wine cup.

Although Hengsheng was happy to eat, he knew that he was still very restrained in front of his elders. He stayed with Tianyou and lived a few people in the wine pot and then put down the wine cup.

How many years younger than everyone else is just like Niu Niu and Tianhui, and it means just a cup of the same meaning.

Seeing a few nephews ate a small jar of "Five Blessings" and before they were done, Changsheng couldn't help but be amazed and said, "When I met you during the Chinese New Year, I didn't have such a drink, so how could I have a drink?"

A small jar of "Five Blessings" is two pounds, and even if the wine is not intoxicating, it is still a lot.

In one sentence, Li and Cao Yong also looked at the fourth little girl.

Although the Cao family has several kinds of fine wines, they are tightly tied to the children. Even fruit wine can only be eaten for two cups during the holidays.

Hang Seng is nothing, but Tianyou and Zuozhu brothers are uncomfortable.

Tianyou laughed awkwardly and said, "There were too many drinks last month. However, the nephews never forgot their father's teachings and did not dare to drink. They really couldn't help but eat two cups."

Zuo Zhu agreed and said, "That's right, not to mention the other person, even if you treat them in the same year, there will be seven or eight times, and there will be brothers, fellow villagers, classmates, and classmates. None of them will be difficult to leave. Fortunately, it stopped this month, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand it."

Zuo Cheng also nodded and said, "It's most of the time we deal with each other for the first time, and there are few people who don't know how to drink. Don't worry, Uncle Qi."

After speaking with his brothers, Hang Seng said: "The diet in Khalkha is different from that in Beijing. In addition to milk, it is also meat, and it is mostly served with wine. In addition, it is cold on the grassland early, so eating some wine in the morning and evening can help keep the cold."

Changsheng nodded and said, "So that's the case, that's not surprising."

Cao Yong glanced at everyone and said, "I'm not forcing you to drink, but you are old now and are out for socializing. When you have seen others' ugly drunkenness, you still need to remember to reflect on yourself."

"Yes." The fourth little girl stood up and agreed, feeling glad.

If they really become drunk outside, even if the elders don’t say it, they will be embarrassed.

After a meal, I ate until Xuzheng (8 o'clock in the evening) before it was dissolved.

Because the children had all eaten wine and it was too late, Chu Yu kept Zuo and Zuo Cheng stayed there, and sent the servant to Ning's house to inform Tian.

After coming out of Lanyuan, Hengsheng became drunk and was supported by Tianyou and Zuo and others to settle down.

Niu Niu and Tianhui went back to their respective yards, and Cao Yong and his wife also returned to Wutong Garden.

"Hengsheng is honest and honest, and he is very hurt this time." Chu Yu said with heartache while serving her husband and taking off his clothes.

Cao Yong blamed himself a little, "I'm too rash. I should have asked me to go to Khalkha first before talking, because I was far away, but I was negligent."

No matter how sensible Hang Seng is, he is still a fifteen-year-old child.

Although he heard of those wives and concubines competing for fame and brothers competing for fame in the capital, he only heard of them and never personally experienced them.

"How is it not a blessing for Sai Weng's horse? Don't blame yourself too much. After all, Hang Seng is just a guest this time and can still come back. If we show up and let our Hang Seng go, and use these methods, we will not be able to take care of it, that will harm Hang Seng." Chu Yu said.

Cao Yong nodded. He didn't stop the prince from accepting his son because he couldn't give up his kindness. Now it seems that the prince's bullshit love for his son is still worthy of thinking.

At this moment, Cao Yong remembered what Cao Yi mentioned and said to Chu Yu.
