Chapter 133
Kangxi took the memorial and glanced at it: "Preventing snow disasters? You and Wang Xi reported it together. Just review the correct words."
Yinreng said anxiously: "You didn't take this seriously."
"Wang Xi is my subject," Kangxi said: "Wang Xi will correct any problems in time. I will deal with all kinds of things every day. Just the cabinet agrees to do such small things that are beneficial."
"But you have to know these things. You can't know nothing. The cabinet will implement the policy. Otherwise, you will separate the ministers of the government and set up the Nanshu Room. Isn't it to be able to take more power in your hands. Now the sons have reviewed their memorials. This is a big problem. Is Khan Ama going to let the sons fly alone? You should tie them up, otherwise the sons will not know where to float."
Kangxi's fingers were itchy again. He glanced at Liang Jiugong meaningfully as a gold whisk holding the treasure in his arms. He saw Liang Jiugong trembling three times, hugging the whisk tighter.
Kangxi with regretfully withdrew his gaze and said to Yinreng: "This is your memorial. There is no big problem to continue to implement it. I give you the power to do things. Do you really plan to ask me about everything?"
Yinreng was very thick-skinned and immediately climbed up: "I am an unweaned baby. I can't do without sweat. You have to tie my son to me, otherwise I will be unsure."
Kangxi said the metaphor to him so much that he couldn't help but laugh. Why did the perfect prince I have cultivated so well?
It really made him feel a headache and love him. Sometimes he made him feel so angry that his head hurts, and sometimes he was moved by him and felt warm and relieved.
When the prince was asked to review his memorials, it was a big deal or a small matter. Kangxi stared at the pile of memorials in front of Yinreng and thought deeply: Did someone do it on purpose or did his subordinates make a mistake?
The emperor woke up and comforted Yinreng: "You will grow up one day..."
"Don't think of abandoning Erchen. If Erchen becomes a wild foal, he will run around and cannot even grasp the direction. He still needs old horses to take with him when he crosses the river. If you don't take with him, Erchen will let go!"
Kangxi frowned, and Yinreng relied on him, which made the old father feel a little relieved. After a moment of relief, he was angry with his mouth again.
It wasn't because Yinreng's words were quitting, but he smiled angrily for the words "Old Horse": "According to what you say, I am an irresponsible old horse?"
Yinreng hurriedly closed the topic and smiled and vaguely said what he had just said: "No, I don't mean that, Khan Ama, don't misinterpret the misunderstanding. Erchen means that you are the beacon that guides Erchen, the brightest star in the night..."
"Okay, okay, continue to comment on memorials," Kangxi didn't like this set of compliments. While writing the red in his hand, he said to Yinreng: "I know about preventing snow disasters. It's just right to implement them. The weather this year is colder than in previous years. It's better to prepare as soon as possible. Look at the memorials in the Imperial Heaven Supervision."
The Imperial Heaven Supervision is responsible for observing the weather. This memorial was reported by Nan Huairen, who said: There is a lot of snow this year, and with the current trend, it may take several days to go down. I also asked the emperor and ministers of various ministries to prepare for disaster prevention and relief.
Yinreng nodded: "Since Master Nan brought the method of meteorological observation outside the vassal state to the Imperial Heaven Survey, it is much more accurate than before."
In the twenty years since Kangxi ascended the throne, he encountered five huge snow and freezing disasters. The casualties caused by the disaster were severely damaged, which damaged the country's grain production and caused the country's vitality to be seriously damaged to this day.
At that time, snow disasters occurred in large areas, and even the trees on the roadside were frozen to death, and countless people were frozen to death by the severe cold.
"I will order people to send your disaster prevention and self-rescue to various places as quickly as possible," Kangxi praised Yinreng and said: "Disasters are ruthless. No one knows what disaster will happen next moment. Snow and freezing disasters are difficult to prevent, and people cannot fight against nature. But after reading what you wrote, more people can know how to deal with it when disasters come and save their lives. This booklet should be published and distributed to local officials, and ordered them to take a good look at how to organize the rescue of local people and how to fight against disasters."
"I hope it's still time to convey this time now."
When talking about natural disasters, Kangxi was in a heavy mood. Every time the court confronted the natural disaster, it would suffer heavy losses. If disasters appeared in piles, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty would gradually disappear.
The heavy snow fell for ten days, and the longer it continued, the more uneasy it became. The emperor issued an imperial edict, and urgently ordered officials from all over the country to study disaster prevention and relief manuals, prepare for disaster relief, strengthen houses, city walls, open granaries, and allow local people to hoard food.
Until ten days passed, the heavy snow gradually weakened, and people hired to shovel snow on the official roads and wait for the official roads to be cleaned up, and the news sent from various places also arrived.
The losses caused by snow and frost damage in various places are within a controllable range. There are no large number of people frozen to death, nor are there any mountain avalanches or large houses collapsed. Some casualties are not considered disasters compared to previous years.
Kangxi stretched his brows and told Yinreng: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and this year's annual meeting will be smooth."
Although some of the government orders issued were in vain, now with the foundation for disaster prevention, it can be used in the future. Disasters will come at any time, depending on how God is in his mood.
"The government has put a lot of thought on disaster prevention, and the people are not unable to feel this slight change. Now we can take advantage of the good time to promote it."
Kangxi said: "You can do this. If you are in the Ministry of Rites, you will discuss with the Minister of Rites. Baoqing also learned well in the Ministry of War. You brothers gather together on weekdays to talk about your experiences in studying in the two departments."
"Also, Yan Bao is old at the end of the day, don't bother him. If you have any questions, find Sha Cheng and learn hard with Sha Cheng, especially how to talk!"
Kangxi felt that Yinreng's mouth was still helpful, so he had to send a knowledgeable, profound and cautious Han official to treat him well!
Yinreng nodded quickly. After reviewing the memorial, he should go to the Ministry of Rites to click Mao.
Yinreng first went to find Cao Zhen who stayed in the study room to study, and took Cao Zhen like a ball to the Ministry of Rites.
There were two Shangshus of Manchu and Han dynasties in the Ministry of Rites, and the Manchus were the handsome Yan Bao, who was of great grandfather. Perhaps because he was too old and was in poor health, the handsome Yan Bao always asked for leave to rest at home, and left most of the matter to the Minister Exingge and Wu Nuchun.
Another minister of the Ministry of Rites was a Han minister named Sha Cheng. Since Yinreng had reached the chassis of the Ministry of Rites, he had to first understand what the highest officials of the Ministry of Rites did.
When Khan Ama asked him to focus on speaking with Sha Cheng, Yinreng became curious and paid attention to Lord Sha's words and deeds.
This Lord Sha was responsible for the content of etiquette, sacrifices, titles of concubines, travel ceremonies, imperial examinations, Imperial College, etc. were all under his jurisdiction.
The Shuai Yan Bao is responsible for receiving foreign envoys, dispatching envoys, paying tributes, etc.
When talking about Sha Cheng, Cao Zhen had an impression: "He has a bad relationship with my grandfather, because he was valued by the emperor in the same period. Lord Sha couldn't stand his grandfather's unorthodox civil servant."
"Mr. Sha is a literati who talks about etiquette," Yinreng blinked: "So there are common problems that literati have, but he is very powerful. He wrote the book "The Lecture Notes of the Four Books" when we studied the Four Books."
Cao Zhen recalled: "My grandfather once said that Sha Chengqingjing was dissatisfied, but he would not speak casually and hurt others."
Qingjing does not mean being honest and cautious, but being noble and cautious.
He also has the aloofness of a literati, but he also knows the principles of being a human being. He is arrogant in his heart, but he does not speak to hurt others. This is Sha Cheng, the Minister of Rites.
Yinreng met this busy man a few days ago. Today, Yan Bao was unwell and sent someone to take leave. Sha Cheng took on the things that the two ministers wanted to take care of. When he was busy, he was particularly unbearable to his subordinates' mistakes.
When Yinreng and Cao Zhen arrived, they saw Sha Cheng scolding Wu Nuchun. When he cursed, he looked angry, like a fire-blowing old man. After scolding, he only said "It's insulting and insulting" and "It's not true!"
After hearing this, Cao Zhen squeezed his eyes and hid behind Yinreng to take a look.
Yinreng thought something: It turns out that if you want to curse people without swearing, then use the word "sultry" insulting.
"The Prince's Palace is coming down," Sha Cheng's angry expression was a little slow, and he first greeted Yinreng, and then released Wu Nuchun to receive Yinreng and became familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
The emperor sent the palace to the Ministry of Rites not to let him visit the various departments, but to let His Highness do things.
With someone like Wu Nuchun who has poor ability to do things and has a relationship, how can Your Highness learn well?
Sha Cheng immediately said to Yinreng: "Your Highness, today the commander Yan Bao is taking leave. You might as well follow the old minister to see the general affairs of the Ministry of Rites. The old minister has many things in charge, so you can explain it in detail to you."
So Yinreng followed Sha Cheng to familiarize himself with the general affairs of the Ministry of Rites today. Seeing Sha Cheng so busy that he was still bothering to explain to him, almost one person was divided into two people to use. Yinreng admired the "energy" of this old minister very much.
No wonder Khan Ama transferred him to the Ministry of Rites and has since taken root here. Mr. Yan Bao is old and has poor energy, so he cannot need a vibrant capable minister to work?
Both old ministers who have experienced two dynasties, Sha Cheng and Du Lide had a harmonious relationship. There were many common topics between the two. Until Du Lide prayed for a rest and lived a rest, Sha Cheng still maintained letter exchanges with him.
After a while, Sha Cheng said to Yinreng: "The Emperor asked the Palace to do things, but did not explicitly let Your Highness do anything in the Ministry of Rites. The old minister suggested that Your Highness be familiar with the positions of each department. You might as well start with the department you are interested in."
The Ministry of Rites has four departments, namely the Qing official department, the ritual management, the rituals, the academic affairs, and the imperial examination.
In Xiaomei's words, it is the "Ministry of Education".
There are also temples and sacrifices to the Qing officials and officials, in charge of good and bad rituals, and their sacrificial activities are under their jurisdiction, and their sacrificial titles are under their jurisdiction.
The host and guest Qingli Department was called "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" by Xiaomei. He received foreign envoys and also had envoys' translation.
The officials and officials are in charge of food, livestock and banquets.
There is also a seal and casting department, official newspapers, laws, document editing and issuance, etc., all of which are under the supervision of the seal and casting department. There are four translation museums, which contain various translators, responsible for the translation of other ethnic groups outside the Han and Manchus and foreign vassals to make translations. (1)
Sha Cheng thought Yinreng would be more interested in the seal and casting department. After all, the issuance of documents and the publication of the seal and casting department were all under the supervision of the sealing and casting department. What His Royal Highness has been doing in recent days is related to this.
Unexpectedly, the little prince thought about it and said, "I want to go to the Qingguan Office first."
The Qing Lishu Department of the Yizhizhi was in charge of academic affairs, and the book review was under their control. What's the use of going to see the printing and revisions? Yinreng rubbed his hands, tied his body with sweat, and Sha Cheng looked at him, boldly stretching out his claws to the Qing Lishu Department of the Yizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhi was tied up.
