Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 342 Food Contest and Kit Kat Academy

After the ten princes and others left, Yinzhen started to get busy with the food competition.

He has dealt with a lot of old cases in the criminal department, and now the criminal department doesn't need him to make up his mind on everything, so he rarely has some free time.

The food competition is not about politics, but Yinzhen informed Kangxi in advance before doing it.

"Huang Ama, I have something to report to Huang Ama."

Kangxi: "Tell me."

Yinzhen said: "My son intends to hold a food competition in the capital, and invite people from all over the Qing Dynasty to participate."

Food contest?

Kangxi was a little surprised how he thought of reporting such a game.

"what are you thinking?"

Yinzhen explained: "This kind of competition can stimulate the consumption of the people in the capital, and it can also make the capital lively. If the food competition is effective, the competition can be continued..."

Yinzhen talked eloquently. Of course, his selfish intention was to let Tong Cheng'er taste delicious food from all over the world, but he didn't say that.

Kangxi saw that what he said made sense, if the capital needs to be lively.

"Can you come over if you can't do it?"

Yinzhen said: "The servants of the Ministry of Punishment can take care of it."

Kangxi nodded: "Since the Ministry of Punishment can take care of it, then if you are interested in a gourmet competition, then go ahead! Just let me see the excitement."

Yinzhen said: "My son, I thank Huang Ama."

After talking about his own affairs, Yinzhen thought about Xiao Fujin's affairs.

"Huang Ama, I still have something to say."

"You said."

"My son, Fujin, built a Kinky Courtyard in the mansion. There are some capable people in the courtyard. They ponder a lot of interesting things on weekdays. Although they are all some strange and skillful skills, they are not the right way, but the things they make are quite good. It is very beneficial, especially some time ago, someone made a farm tool that is convenient for farming. My son tried it out, and the effect was quite good. My son Fujin listened to my son's talk, and felt that his previous vision was a bit narrow. So I intend to establish a Kit Kat Academy, specially to teach some scholars who are not good at imperial examinations to learn this skill, what does Huang Ama think?"

Yinzhen didn't feel that strange and obscene skills were not the right way, and if he didn't live in front of Kangxi, he couldn't care about it anymore, otherwise it would be easy to cause bad things.

After hearing these words, Kangxi didn't focus on Kit Kat Academy, but instead focused on farm tools.

"What's the matter with the farm tools, just tell me."

"I personally went to the field to try out the farm tool, and it can speed up the plowing speed. The farm tool saves effort, and the soil produced is very fine and fine, which is more suitable for planting crops."

Kangxi nodded: "The farm tool will be brought up later, I will have a look at it myself."

"Yes."

When Kangxi heard him talking about farm tools, he remembered another thing: "I learned from the Ministry of Household Affairs that this year's agricultural tax has increased a lot. After checking, it is related to the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes. I didn't treat potatoes and sweet potatoes at the beginning. What happened, I didn't expect you to find a way to increase production, and you did a good job."

Yinzhen said: "It's all small things, and it's what son-in-law should do."

Kangxi was very satisfied, and felt that Yinzhen was getting better.

Agricultural tax is the foundation of the national treasury and the foundation of the country. Although the increase is inconspicuous, it has indeed increased. This is a good thing, and it means that more and more people can eat.

If he hadn't asked a lot of questions, and then asked people to investigate, I really don't know that he has done so much, is capable, and doesn't take credit for it. Very good, he is indeed his son.

"It's not easy for you Fujin to have this kind of heart, I agree, let her do well."

Yinzhen said: "My son thanked Huang Ama."

After Yinzhen left, Kangxi suddenly became pensive.

As for Yinzhen, because of his strange problems, Kangxi's attention to him is second only to the prince, so Kangxi knows Yinzhen very well.

He knew that he had a lot of profitable businesses in his hands, and this was his default. He didn't check the exact amount, but it should be quite a lot.

Yinzhen didn't feel bad when he used the money, and used it on the common people a lot, without showing merit or publicizing it, Kangxi knew it and didn't say anything, it was acquiesced.

And Tong Cheng'er built roads, built academies, repaired the entire capital's drainage system... Kangxi also saw all these things, and Kangxi suddenly found that what Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er did really satisfied him.

Now that the prince is like this, Kangxi has to think more about it.

Yinzhen is benevolent and kind, and he values ​​brotherhood. Moreover, Yinzhen and the prince had some affection when they were young. If Yinzhen is the one who will succeed him in the future, according to his temperament, the life of the prince should not be difficult.

And Tong Cheng'er, I used to think she was too lazy to watch, but looking at what she did after marrying Yinzhen, not to mention benefiting the country and the people, she can also generate income for the state treasury and his private treasury, but the interpersonal relationship is poor A little bit, but I didn't have any grudges with others. At most, I didn't like to go out more, but my relationship with my sister-in-law was pretty good.

Watching and cultivating and cultivating again, it may not mean that the mother is respecting the world.

The husband and wife are good in everything, the only thing that worries Kangxi is Yinzhen's problem, not being able to touch women other than him, Fujin, this bad problem is simply a headache.

I used to think that at least he would have Fujin and have a child, but if he were to be the emperor, it would be a bit inconvenient.

...The more I think about it, the more entangled I get, why did Yinzhen suffer from such a problem!

Thinking about it this way, Kangxi called the imperial physician who had diagnosed the Ping'an pulse in Yinzhen's mansion, and asked her how Tong Cheng'er was doing, and whether Yu Zisi was in any way in the past.

The imperial physician told the truth: "Prince Yong and Prince Yong Fujin are in good health, and now they are at the age of having a child. If you work hard, you will naturally be able to conceive."

The body is fine.

Kangxi then ordered: "Prescribe some medicinal food for Yinzhen and Fujin."

He wants to hug his grandson.

The imperial physician instantly understood, although he felt it was unnecessary, he still said, "Yes."

After Yin Zhen went back, he told Tong Cheng'er about the Kit Kat Academy.

Tong Cheng'er said with surprise on her face, "Do you still remember?"

Yinzhen: "What are you talking about, why did you forget me?"

Tong Cheng'er smiled "hehe" and said, "I said something wrong."

Tong Cheng'er is also busy with KitKat Academy recently, and originally planned to ask Yinzhen to tell Kangxi when the mess is almost done, but he didn't expect him to do everything she thought in her heart quietly, like this, What can my wife ask for.

Tong Cheng'er immediately hugged Yinzhen: "You are so kind."

Yinzhen hugged her: "You only know!"

Hong Zhao beside him was babbling and laughing, sitting in the trolley with a rattle in his hand, enjoying himself very much.

Yinzhen's food competition needs to advertise to the world, and Tong Cheng'er's academy also needs to advertise to the world, so the two decided to come together to publicize this matter.

In order to make the publicity effect better, the two of them can be described as painstaking.

For example, the two sent people to different state capitals, and they will go through the first round first. Of course, if they feel that it is unfair or if there is any accident that they did not perform well, they can also come to the capital to participate in the selection again.

Yinzhen's food competition gave a lot of rewards, especially Yinzhen also specially asked Kangxi for a plaque of the world's best food. Apart from the generous money reward, this plaque is even more attractive.

Tong Cheng'er's KitKat Academy is also well paid, and it can also provide a place to study for those who like odd tricks.

There should be quite a few people who are tempted. They sent people to select them, because they were afraid that there would be too many people and rush back and forth. If the family was ordinary, they might not be able to afford it.

After the selection, there are fewer people, and even if Tong Cheng'er loses the selection, she can still give money for round-trip board and lodging.

It's very thoughtful.
