Chapter 792: Boiling

Although the beautiful girl was chosen every three years, and young nobles were never missing in Kangxi's harem, he ascended the throne for fifty-seven years and was very few times he had been accorded to concubines.

It’s good to say that the seventh prince’s biological mother, the concubine, and the sixteenth prince’s biological mother, the concubine, was a concubine. Even if he had a serious title, the Cao family, both of these places were in-laws and gifts were purchased. In addition, there were also the seventeenth prince’s biological mother, Chen, who also wanted to prepare a gift, but he had no relatives, so it was not appropriate to give gifts to the palace concubine directly.

If Chen gave it to him, the twelfth prince's biological mother was also a concubine, and she would also be given a gift. If these people were given to him, would the other two concubines who had nothing to do with the Cao family give it to him?

Fortunately, Kangxi's decree has just been issued. After the Ministry of Rites has made arrangements, it is estimated that it will take until the Emperor returns to Beijing to enthrone the enthronement, and there will be some days left.

After discussing with Cao Yong, Chu Yu took out a few boxes of beads collected at home, plus the gems sent by Wei Xin from Guangzhou a few years ago, to prepare congratulations to the two empresses in the palace. As for Chen's side, Cao Yong planned to think of another way.

The Sixteenth Prince was very happy after receiving the accurate letter.

Wang Meng has been in the palace for nearly thirty years. Although she was favored, her status was limited. Her serious title was just a noble person. Although she was treated as a concubine, she was not enthroned. Her usual rankings were to be the leader among the noble people after all the concubines. The Sixteenth Prince, who is the son, felt naturally uncomfortable.

The Sixteenth Prince also took Cao Yong to visit the Seventeenth Prince and told him the good news.

The Seventeenth Prince couldn't believe it at first, but after confirming it again and again, she burst into tears. Cao Yong looked at the skinny Seventeenth Prince and felt uncomfortable.

When Cao Yong went to the study room to study together, the seventeenth prince was only twelve or three years old, and he was a strange elf. Now ten years have passed, he is only in his early twenties, but he is in his late twenties, without the vitality of a young man. It looks like a copy of the Thirteenth prince.

Seeing that the seventeenth prince was sad, thinking about the difficulties Chen had in the harem over the years, he sighed and said, "You are very clear when you are young, why can't you see it when you are old and get stuck in the slightest? Who would want to jump around? Don't you still think about your mother? We are sons, and when we were young, we should protect them when we grow up. You have been sick for so long and should be cured. Do you still have to let noble people think about you?"

After all, the seventeenth prince's illness was half of physical illness and half of heart disease. Not only did his biological mother have a low reputation, but he also encountered Kangxi's taboos. He was not injected into the cold palace and was not much better. In addition, last year, his father-in-law A Ling'a died of illness, and no one outside knew that he was also disgusted with it today.

Last year, there was a vague gossip, saying that Kangxi was very dissatisfied with the Seventeenth Concubine. The Seventeenth Prince got married for five or six years, had no children, and had no other wives and concubines.

Because of this, the Seventeenth Concubine was still ill. After recovering from the illness, she took the initiative to pick two palace maids and put them to the Seventh Prince to serve, which made the Seventh Prince angry. Later, she caught up with the Queen Mother’s funeral, and the Seventh Prince was weak, so the matter was left to nothing.

Listening to the sixteenth prince's advice, Cao Yong couldn't sit still. After all, the two of them in front of him are of princely blood. No matter how good they are in private, there is a difference between superiors and inferiors on the surface. But if they avoid them, they will appear unfamiliar.

The Seventeenth Prince also knew that he had lost his composure and had wiped the tears from his face. After hearing the Seventeenth Prince's words, he showed a little shame on his face and said embarrassedly: "How can I compare to the Seventh Brother?"

The Sixteenth Prince glanced at him and said, "I know you are lazy, so I am willing to be diligent? Look at Cao Yong again. He likes freedom the most. Now he has put on the reins, but he has just endured it..." At this point, he pointed to the scar on his forehead and said, "What is this? I think you know it. Who can hide in this palace? He can avoid it by avoiding it? Seventeenth brother, you should think about it carefully."

The seventeenth prince glanced at the sixteenth prince, then looked at Cao Yong in his replenishment clothes, with a little sad expression and lowered his head and said, "Sixteenth brother, my brother knows, but I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid, life will be too long?" The Sixteenth Prince snorted coldly and said, "In addition to telling you the good news that the Emperor Ama wants to be a concubine, I have another thing to tell you."

It turned out that the Sixteenth Prince helped the Seventeenth Prince and wanted him to take a share of the bank.

When the Seventeenth Prince heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "The Sixteenth Brother should have supported the matters of the Sixteenth Brother, but the Sixteenth Brother knows the situation on his side. There is no serious investment, and there is no thousands of taels of silver in total. The rest is your brother and sister's dowry."

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Who will still worry about your brother and sister's dowry? But if you say this to you, you will know what you want. You don't have to worry about the money. I'm with my brother." While he was speaking, he told the matter of embezzling 100,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The seventeenth prince was unwilling to drag the sixteenth prince back and said, "The sixteenth brother wants to raise such a pool to be a famous man who borrowed money. I will join in the fun, but it is hard to say. Otherwise, one or both of them have the idea of ​​the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone will think about making money. Brother, there are five thousand here, so don't think it's too little."

When Cao Yong heard this, he remembered that he was worried about giving Chen a gift, and said, "If Master Seventeen does not dislike me, I will add icing on the cake. These days, I am hesitating to prepare any gifts for the nobles, but it is not easy to give them openly because I don't have any relatives. I asked me to express my feelings and make up 5,000 taels to share. In the future, if I have a bonus, I just want to add a few pocket money to the nobles. If I have been in love with Master Seventeen for many years, if the Prince Seventeen does not give me such face, then I will have no shame to show it to Master Seventeen again!"

Cao Yong was dying and gave no room for the Seventeenth Prince to refuse.

The Seventeenth Prince looked at Cao Yong, showed a little gratitude and shame, and lowered his head and said, "I have taken too much advantage over the years, but I am really shameless."

Seeing that the seventeenth prince was like this, the more unpleasant he said, "The bigger he is, the more he is, how big it is, what a mother-in-law and mother..."

In front of the Seventeenth Prince, he didn't mention it, but after coming out of the Seventeenth Prince, he said to Cao Yong: "I still have some money. I will raise 10,000 for the Seventeenth Brother to take up a share. On the Internal Affairs Office, I borrow 80,000, and borrow 100,000, and borrow 100,000."

Cao Yong calculated silently in his heart that the Ninth Prince and the others had already occupied half of the shares, Han Jiang and the Seventeenth Prince accounted for three points, and Cao Yong also planned to account for two points. He was not a living Lei Feng, and he didn't make any move, and he had the opportunity to make money, so why did he let it go in vain?

In this way, only 30% of the shares remained, and 600,000 taels of silver were needed to raise.

There are so many residences in the capital, and if there is not enough time, the Sixteenth Prince will offend people. He expressed his concerns. The Sixteenth Prince smiled and said, "Of course it's first come first served. When the emperor's letter is approved, I will post a post to the prince's mansions of the major clans. Since it is a business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, of course, we need a friendly clan relative. Then we choose a day, first come first served, and raise the silver."

Cao Yong remembered Han Jiang's concern a few days ago and said, "Sixteenth Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot make a business share. Otherwise, when the bank's money is borrowed by the court or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the shareholder's money will be wasted. It is best to use one million yuan in silver and choose a few royal villages to invest. In this way, it is legitimate to do the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those who hold the money in their hands and are afraid of losing all their money will feel at ease."

The sixteenth prince thought for a while and said, "That's right, I'll write a memorial when I go back..."

A few days later, Kangxi sent a handwritten order to ask the Sixteenth Prince to report details.

The sixteenth prince wrote a detailed note on the results of the discussion with Cao Yong these days and the approximate deposit and loan interest drafted by Han Jiang, and sent the person to Rehe.

Everyone in the capital was ready to go all out, just waiting for the imperial edict to come down.

Before the intention to start a bank was released, the Cao family welcomed good news.

As the current school, Cao Xiang was the top scholar and was awarded the title of the second prize. Wang Yingquan, the top scholar, was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and was the sixth rank; Cao Xiang and Zhang Tinglu were the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and were the seventh rank.

Because Cao Xiang reported that he had "had been hired but not married", in addition to the 45th day of the new Jinshi holiday, he received another half month off and only went to the Hanlin Academy to pay duty in June.

At this point, Cao Xiang's wedding date was less than ten days away, and Chu Yu was too busy all day long.

Su Xin and Jinghui were also cheered up, not wanting to get more and more messy as they were busy. Jinghui accidentally got angry. Fortunately, she was just in danger and nothing big happened.

In a busy day, May has entered.

Cao Yin and his wife returned to the city in early May with Zhaojia. While preparing for the festival, they prepared for the 8th day of Cao Xiang's marriage.

Cao Yong remembered the Fengrun ancestor worship incident mentioned by his father last year. Originally, the seventh old man wanted to go to Beijing in February, and the country was filial and could not discuss marriage, so he did not come. He heard that Cao Yin could not go back to worship his ancestors, so he sent a long letter, which not only expressed his regret, but also pushed the days of going to Beijing to worship his ancestors.

Cao Qi's attitude towards this side is still the same as before. The Cao family has a happy event this year. As a biological uncle, Cao Yin was unable to get rid of his nephew's marriage. Therefore, he did not have any other thoughts.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the bank's order finally came down. Kangxi agreed to the 16th Prince's memorial to sign the imperial bank to do shares, but also proposed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to take back the remaining 50% of the shares twenty years later.

Cao Yong met with the Sixteenth Prince, and he could understand it. After all, according to the plan submitted by the Sixteenth Prince, the bank has risks, but if it is managed properly, it is indeed profitable.

After all, it is under the sign of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is considered a royal private property. If you really make money, it is normal for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take back all its shares.

The Sixteenth Prince, the post was drafted early, and was issued in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs registered the yellow belts and red belts, and those who were independent of the branch offices, all of them posted the post. The above mentioned that the Ministry of Internal Affairs handled the "bank" and raised funds and shares.

Yili shares started, and Erfen shares were topped off. On May 15, the government office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ascended the throne to check in cash, first come first served, and expired.
