There is a large open space in the backyard of the Ganqing Palace.

On weekdays, except for the Qianniu Guards, only the passing palace maids and eunuchs appeared here.

However, it is also a place where Jing Hedi likes to take a walk and rest.

Today he took Zhao Shou here to digest food.

As he walked, he laughed, "Zhao Shou, what kind of person do you think Mingqi is?"

Zhao Shou said carefully: "In my heart, Prince Yu is a very capable person and an interesting person."

"Well, this kid is capable." Jing Hedi said, "Look, how many days have passed since the blessing meeting? It is said that the soap order received by Prince Yu's mansion has exceeded 7,000 yuan, right?"

"The news from today has exceeded 10,000." Zhao Shou said, "This is just a gentry and nobleman in Beijing. None of the other places can buy it. If it is released, there will be at least 50,000 yuan."

"After they use it, they will definitely be like us, and they can't let it go." Jing Hedi patted his clothes, "Look, I think my clothes are much cleaner."

"It's not just your clothes." Zhao Shou shook his clothes, "The old slave's clothes were so dirty that they could be thrown away, but after washing them like this, hey, he was still reluctant to throw them away."

After a pause, he said again: "But Prince Yu specifically reminded me that if a person washes clothes with soap all day long, it is easy to have cracks and scars on his hands... I went to see the washing machine yesterday and took a look. Sure enough, some of the servants' hands were rotten a little awkward."

Jing Hedi frowned slightly, "Soap has such disadvantages? What should the common people do when they wash clothes on weekdays?"

"Apart from the palace, the palace and other places, where people will wash their clothes all day long?" Zhao Shou said, "Crown Prince Yu said that even if you wash one day a day, there is nothing serious about it. But in places like the Clothes Washing Bureau, it is best to wash one day and rest for two days so that you won't hurt your hands."

Jing Hedi thought about it for a while, "Then do it according to Mingqi's words. Although most people in the laundry department are sinners, they should not be tortured like this."

"Abide by the order."

Zhao Shou bowed.

Emperor Jinghe has always been generous and kind. Even those who make mistakes will not be punished severely. He takes good care of everyone on weekdays, and almost everyone in the palace wants to die for him.

It was because of Princess Changle that he issued such an imperial edict for the first time in his life, so the people in the palace were so walking on thin ice.

"I originally thought that Mingqi would compensate 8,000 taels of gold alone, which was a bit too heavy." Jing Hedi said, "But looking at him like this, it seems that it will take not long to earn the money back?"

"The purchase in the palace is five taels of silver per piece, and the price outside is one tael of silver per piece. If they can sell 100,000 yuan a year, they will really make a fortune!" Zhao Shou also felt a little envious when he said that.

"Haha, since the ancestors' laws asked them to make money, then naturally the more they earn, the better." Emperor Jing He had no objection to this.

The previous emperors actually had the same attitude towards this.

After all, they are all family members and cannot obtain power, so they should be compensated elsewhere.

Including making money through business, including having to gain respect, and being able to live freely in the Gyeonggi area, it is a way of compensation.

Of course, there are also many restrictions.

For example, so far, no royal family or noble can directly own land, which is the biggest constraint.

Once there is no land, there will be no land annexation like the previous dynasty, it will not cause a large number of people to be displaced, and there will be no uprisings everywhere and destroying the entire dynasty.

From now on, this comprehensive strategy is done well, including royal family, royal family, nobles, court officials, ordinary people, etc., and they all coexist and live a good life.

Emperor Jing He was very happy to see this situation.

He did not have the idea of ​​becoming a hero like Taizu. He just wanted everyone to live a smooth and harmonious life. That would be great.

This current state is exactly what he dreamed of!

Apart from the former prince Minghao, his life has been completely perfect.

Zhao Shou has been following Emperor Jinghe for 30 years, and naturally he sensed the sudden sadness of Emperor Jinghe.

He didn't know why, but he knew how to resolve it. "Your Majesty, Lao Nu thinks Prince Yu is very interesting. In fact, it is because he can actually cook so many delicious foods, and it is something we have never heard of, which makes it very unique.

Not to mention the cakes before, for example, the pudding was sent in a few days ago, and even the Queen Mother ate several. The old slave was lucky enough to taste one, and he thought there would be such a delicious place in the world?"

When talking about this, Jing Hedi didn't realize that his expression was moving, and his greed was aroused: "Yes, but this kid was too tired and refused to do more, and he still found so many reasons to perfunctory."

Zhao Shou said: "Don't worry, don't you learn the imperial chefs these two days? That...that...gold oven has been built. It won't take long, we can make it ourselves, and we can eat as much as we want."

"Well, learn it earlier, everyone in the palace will be more happy." Jing Hedi laughed, "You don't know, Concubine Chen has been pestering me these days and wants to get a few more puddings!"

...

The Prince's Palace in the Dakang Dynasty is located outside the palace, but also inside the imperial city, facing the palace one east and one west.

The size of the Prince's Palace is definitely not as big as the imperial palace, but there is no shortage of various regulations.

Prince Mingyu lived here.

His aides and a group of subordinates also handle affairs here on weekdays.

Although the crown prince is the crown prince, he will not directly participate in the government affairs on weekdays. Instead, he will obtain some memorials from various provinces, prefectures and other places, make some suggestions himself, and then hand them over to the emperor's imperial desk.

Such suggestions are different from those reviewed by the cabinet ministers, so the emperor will naturally choose the best.

It means that if the prince’s opinion is good, then use the prince’s.

The prince’s opinion was not good enough, and the emperor would show him the reviews of the cabinet ministers to let him understand where his shortcomings were.

As long as he has this kind of power, the prince is not a decoration, and he has a lot of his own power, both in the Six Divisions and localities, and has some of his own connections.

This is the ancestral system of the Dakang Dynasty.

After all the princes become adults, they will move out of the palace, and only the princes who have been named the crown prince can move into the crown prince.

If the prince had never experienced anything before ascending the throne, why would he become the emperor?

Will it be reassuring to hand over the country to his hands?

Therefore, it is normal for the prince to deal with some government affairs, and he is given some experience.

The same is true for the former prince Minghao.

But, one thing is taboo.

Apart from his hundreds of escorts, the prince is not allowed to possess any force, nor can he have contact with any general, otherwise there will be serious consequences.

Even the prince is not qualified to interfere with the emperor's power.

Otherwise, the country will not become a family, and the family will not become a family.

After the establishment of the Great Kang Dynasty, this ancestral system did prevent many accidents, but it also caused the greatest regret of Emperor Jinghe.

If Prince Minghao had not only had Yulin Guards around him, but could mobilize the six Davids, border troops, and garrison guards, how could such a tragedy happen?

Of course, this was also because they were all careless. They didn't expect that there would be horse thieves who dared to attack the two thousand Yulin Guards. They were like crazy.

I didn't expect that those horse thieves would find such a good opportunity. On a dark and windy night, they directly burned the camp and caught the invincible Yulin Guard off guard.

In this battle, hundreds of people died on the spot. After returning to Beijing, more than a thousand people committed suicide, and none of the two thousand survived. This was a great shame for the Yulinwei, the number one elite army in the empire.

Come back to your eyes.

It was precisely because of such a major accident that the prince should have had the responsibility of inspecting the four sides, which was also cancelled.

For ten years, Prince Mingyu has had to stay in Beijing and usually never goes anywhere.

However, his reputation has always been good, and the people and officials feel very good about him.

Today, in his prince's uterus, Prince Mingyu and the people around him were discussing something.

A man in his thirties spoke in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I think that soap should be firmly controlled by us. We cannot let Prince Yu's Mansion gain a lot of wealth in vain, thereby enhancing our momentum."

"I think so too." Another older person said: "Liu Mingqi is very good at bribing people's hearts. Now that he can continue to invent these things, there may be quite a few obstacles to His Royal Highness's journey to ascend the throne."

Prince Mingyu is twenty-seven years old this year. He looks the same as Jing and Emperor. He is not tall and slightly fat, and he feels kind.

He smiled and said, "You guys are too nervous. The business of soap is good, but this is Uncle Yu's business. If I go and get it, what will the royal people say? Before I can ascend to the emperor, I started to harm my family? Our Dakang Dynasty has never had such an emperor!"

"Your Highness's Vigilance!" A thin man in his thirties next to him also agreed, "We spend a lot of money, but some things cannot be done, so don't mention them."

"Oh!" The man in his forties sighed and said nothing.

When the prince heard this, he smiled again, "Mr. Sun, don't worry, I will give you the recent expenses on time... Anyway, you have to know that we are not afraid of spending money, but we are afraid that there will be no effect, do you know?"

Hearing this, the man's face showed a relieved expression: "Don't worry, your highness, although they are greedy, if they have enough money, they will be closer to us."

"That's good, everything depends on Mr. Sun."

The prince waved his hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his slightly fat face.

...

Note: In the 25th year of Jinghe, the Prince's Grand Tutor Ren Xihai reported to him: "Now the Prince is smart and has a profound holy knowledge, and is brilliant in literature. Du contributed to show thrift, expounding nature and reason to worship sages, and being harmonious with the Zong branch. All of them are fair. Although Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period and has endless blessings, the ancestral system can make the country last forever. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to beg Your Majesty to be kind to the Prince to follow the ancestral system and participate in the court's political practices, so as to calm the hearts of the subjects in the world, and to share the worries of the king and father. Respect and earnestly report it."
