Chapter 1053: "Good"

When I first left Beijing, the heat was still unbearable. After half a month of traveling west, the weather gradually became cooler after the Zhongyuan Festival.

Tianyou and Hongpu went from being tired at the beginning and then to getting used to traveling far away. Because they rode horses and took a car in half a day, their originally fair faces were much tanned by the wind and sun, and they faded away their childishness and weakness, adding a bit of the vividness and vitality of the boy.

As he got farther away from Beijing, Hongpu was also changing. His originally gloomy and taciturn personality also stretched out.

Few seldom act as a prince's prince's mansion. When Tianyou proudly praised his younger brother and sister, he also listened with envy and desire.

If it were other princes of the princes, even if Cao Yong responded politely, he would rather stay away from him. Hongpu was different. He was the actual eldest son of the sixteenth prince.

For this reason, Cao Yong treated him as his nephew.

Seeing him becoming inseparable from the little hedgehog, Cao Yong felt that the Sixteenth Prince's previous worries were really a big deal.

It is normal for an eleven-year-old child to lose his mother at a young age and to have some gloomy autism. He still grows up by reading sages. Even if it is a little awkward, it is just a youth. What kind of "evil deeds" can he do?

Hongpu is sensitive in character, grateful for Cao Yong's kindness, and is willing to get close to him.

Until one day, he talked about Xining and mentioned the ninth prince who was escorted to Xining after the New Year to "walking in the army", Hongpu asked: "Brother-in-law, I heard that the ninth uncle bullied his brother-in-law in his early years, so did his brother-in-law never think about taking revenge?"

Cao Yong was very surprised when he heard this.

Not to mention that these are old things, just talk about the fact that the Ninth Prince and Cao Yong have been in constant friction in the past few years, but they are not as strong as ever.

It is well known that the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were rejected by the emperor because they had been hostile to Yongzheng for decades.

Even if the Ninth Prince is a dog in the water, it is not a foreign minister who can "hit" him, otherwise, even the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince would be annoyed.

What he challenged was not the down-and-out Ninth Prince, but the authority and face of the entire royal family.

"It's just a trivial matter, who will remember it? Jiu Beizi, who was once the richest in the capital, has lost all his family property now. When will he return to Beijing still say something? Where is there anything worth revenge?" Cao Yong said.

"Where is the loss of property? Who doesn't know that before going to Xining, Jiu Bo gave away the property under his name and gave it to others. Even I, Ama, forced me to give two shops?" Hongpu said with a sarcasm.

That's true. The Ninth Prince sent the shop around half of the capital.

These were gradually known after the Ninth Prince was escorted to Xining.

Perhaps he knew that the situation was over and had made plans. He was keen on business for half his life, and he had not transferred his industry to the Fifth Prince or the Prince Lian's Mansion. I believe he also knew that in that case, it would not only anger Yongzheng, but also make Yongzheng angry at the Fifth Prince and Prince Lian's Mansion.

He only gave him real estate shops, and his family only gave him one or two places. He gave him all the royal princes and princes with great reputation. He also did not hesitate to take action and became a "boy with money".

In this way, even if Yongzheng was angry, he could not get into evil with all the royal princes and the Eight Banners nobles to take back the ninth prince's property.

As for why gold and silver are left behind, there are many different opinions.

Most of the people still guessed that the Ninth Prince only did half of it and did not do it completely, so they were still worried about the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yi.

Cao Yong felt that the Ninth Prince was harming others and not doing good for himself, so he used all his property to dig a big hole for Yongzheng.

No matter how the Ninth Prince gave it to him, the royal prince took over the Ninth Prince's property after all. In the eyes of the emperor, it was a slap in the face of the emperor, and he had already felt a thorn in his heart.

In the eyes of the royal family, they were watching the emperor punishing the "gold and silver" left by the ninth prince, and hurting oneself. As they were wary of the emperor's attack on the royal family.

In addition, the emperor pointed to the Sixteenth Prince Chengzhi's Mansion, which was already eye-catching.

If the two are bigger, it would be strange if the emperor has no tension in his relationship with the royal family.

Yongzheng tried hard to give titles to several emperor brothers, and even the emperor's nephew began to give titles. He was afraid that he would exaggerate his influence in the royal family to prevent the royal family from attacking.

On the side of Lord Eight Banners, Yongzheng confiscated many families, and the officialdom of his children was unclear, and countless families were worried...

"The second brother thinks, how should I do it?" Cao Yong suppressed his shock and asked calmly.

Hongpu was ready to say a lot, but he didn't notice that Cao Yong had changed his name.

Tianyou was beside him, listening to the gossip of the two, and glanced at his father.

"It is said that if you have grudges, you are not a gentleman. I heard that Jiu Bo was bullied by his mother's family. Now that he is in Xining, the army will always return to Beijing. When he transfers his property, in addition to sending royal family members, he also gave part of the Guo Luoluo family. Even if he wants to come back, it is not cheap. The Guo Luoluo family's money can be bought back for the capital of trading at any time..." He said it was orderly, and he thought it was thought for a long time, and it was definitely not a nonsense.

When Cao Yong heard this, his heart sank.

The eleven-year-old child began to "scheming" after carefully observing him for half a month.

But in the eyes of adults, this "scheming" seems simple and ridiculous.

The Sixteenth Prince was worried. Unlike the child who could not do anything, the eleven-year-old Hongpu had already begun to stretch out his claws to test the world.

He is not for curiosity, but for resentment.

What he said was some truth. It might be that the attack on the Guo Luoluo family could have some influence on the Ninth Prince, but the sixteenth Prince's wife had the greatest influence. He was just the Ninth Prince's cousin, but the Sixteenth Prince's mother's family.

At this moment, Hongpu had finished speaking and was looking at Cao Yong with hope, just as he almost wrote "No," on his face.

When Cao Yong saw his childish look, he couldn't smile bitterly, but he felt a little pity in his heart.

When Li left the palace, Hongpu had already remembered it.

Although he was favored by the Sixteenth Prince, he became the son of the lost mother.

He touched Hongpu's head and said, "What do you think of the dry land you saw during your nap at noon today?"

Seeing him talking a little, Hongpu was stunned for a long time, and after a while he recovered, he said, "Although he replanted the beans, it still didn't rain. It was not easy to rely on the tenant farmer's family to carry water from the riverside."

Cao Yong said: "What method does the second prince have to help farmers irrigate?"

Hongpu thought for a while and said, "Is it 'built canal' and 'drawing well'?"

Cao Yong nodded, turned to Tianyou, and said, "The second prince saw the dry land at noon and thought about the hard work of farmers carrying water. What did you think of?"

Tianyou stood up and said, "I heard from my father and the tenant that he would rent five dou and three liters of millet per acre of land every year. Because there is no rain in spring and summer, the millets are not heading, so I replanted the beans. Even if I carry water, the land is not low, and it is insufficient to rely on manpower to water. By the autumn harvest, it is hard to say how much of the beans can receive. Even if the harvest is enough to pay the rent, there is no food for winter. If there is no savings, it will be fine. If there is no, you will have to borrow."

Cao Yong continued to ask, "Then tell me, what method can make them in a better situation?"

"It would be great if you plant corn and sweet potatoes. The former can be planted in the official warehouse, while the latter can plant one acre, so there will be no shortage of food for the whole family." Tianyou said.

Because Cao's Changping Zhuangzi has this experimental field for corn and sweet potatoes, and Cao Yong's choreography in the past six months is mostly related to the breeding and promotion of these two drought-resistant crops, Tianyou likes farming, so he is not unfamiliar with it.

"If corn and sweet potatoes can be promoted, they can survive thousands of people. This time I went to Gansu, in addition to inspecting the military farms, I would look at the newly designated land reclamation areas. Starting next year, immigrants will come. You two will see, learn and ask more. If you have any good suggestions, you can also just say to me. If you have any contribution, I would like to entrust you two." Cao Yong said.

After hearing this, Tianyou blushed and felt a little excited.

It is not because of fame and fortune, but because of being excited to be regarded as an "adult". This person is also the father he has always admired and loved the most.

Tianyou stood up with a small breast and felt that he had really grown up.

Hongpu was left with only shock, and looked at Cao Yong with his eyes straight and said, "Brother-in-law, are you kidding us? I and Cao Yong are still young when you are dealing with the major issues of people's livelihood."

Not too young, everyone knows how to "kill people with a knife", "cut off firewood from the cauldron", and "speaking east and attacking west".

Cao Yong smiled warmly and said, "It's not that you two directors, but that you just want to learn to fill in the gaps. Why don't you want to?" As he said that, he looked at Tianyou and said, "Tianyou, where are you?"

Tianyou nodded vigorously, his eyes brightly, and said, "I can't ask for it."

Seeing that Tianyou was like this, Hongpu squeezed out a few laughs and said, "I'm willing."

Seeing that they were both "sensible", Cao Yong did not stay any longer and went back to his room.

It was not until he left that Hongpu woke up. Cao Yong did not give an answer to his first "proposal".

His face turned red and white. He didn't understand what Cao Yong meant to say, and was he "rejected" by "politely" his "proposal".

He wanted to rush to Cao Yong immediately and ask what was going on, but he was worried.

After thinking about it for a while, he turned his gaze on Tianyou's head: "Tianyou, what did my brother-in-law mean just now? Will he take revenge on Uncle Jiu?"

Tianyou glanced at him and said, "Of course not."

When Hongpu heard this, his body froze and asked with a white face: "Why?"

Tianyou smiled and said, "My father said that when you remember the word 'good', you should leave three-point room for others. Jiubeizi is now ruined, how could his father take the blame? Even if there is no grudge, he will wait until Jiubeizi regained his revenge."

He is also a young man from the house. His parents who have good reputations do not mean that he is a lamb who does not know the world.

When Cao Yong taught them a few, he said, "If you can't kill yourself, don't tear your face apart." Don't be evil on the surface. He also told them not to do things that "harm others and do not benefit yourself", and to calculate the "cost" before doing things; do not be greedy. All things in the world are cycled by cause and effect. If you are greedy, you will lose one thing. It's a matter of whether to "take advantage" or "suffer losses".

In Tianyou's view, the matter proposed by Hongpu is a matter of "damaging others but not benefiting oneself", which is suspected of "studying the wrong person".

Even he saw this, and he knew that his father would not do this, so he said it was very confident.
