In the next three days, the prince was talking about selling official positions day and night.

Who made him owe too much that his servants could not pay it back?

It was obvious that the Thirteenth Master was helped to pay it back.

The Tenth Master was still the eighth Master and the Ninth Master helped to pay it back.

The most incredible thing is the honest and romantic third master who actually paid back the money from Kangxi.

But none of the prince's servants dared to help him pay back or lend him money.

Because he usually cheated many officials under his sect.

Sometimes I never pay it back under the guise of borrowing money.

Whoever dares to help him is willing to hide away?

Fortunately, there were still many local tyrants in the Qing Dynasty, who were so poor that they were only shallow.

In addition, those merchants want to have an official at home.

Just like an honest official, a poor family only has a reputation, and he wishes that his family would be able to join a businessman.

Or maybe you have to make some oil and water, and finally start to corruption.

So, the prince sold ten official positions within three days.

It is either sold to salt merchants, or to cloth merchants or drug dealers.

In the end, a total of 1.1 million taels of silver were sold.

Not only did he help him pay off the debts owed by the court.

He also paid off all the debts outside for him.

There are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left, and the transaction is well done.

The prince, who is debt-free and light, only thought about relaxing, but did not expect what happened in the future.

I just thought about having nothing to do and want to stumbling to the Fourth Master.

He called several officials under his sect who really owed money and ran to Kangxi's residence and knelt and cried.

Forget it, after hearing this, Eighth Master also joined in the fun.

He ordered people to go to Qianqing Palace and kneel down and cry.

Moreover, it also makes people stage a farce of zìshā.

However, before the farce begins.

Wei Dongting, the famous celebrity in front of Kangxi, really couldn't stand the debt and hanged himself at home!

The next morning, Kangxi could no longer ignore it.

He called all the princes and ministers to rise outside the Qianqing Palace.

The so-called Great Rise means that officials of the fourth rank or above are all standing outside the Qianqing Palace Gate.

Kangxi sat on the steps, with a slave holding a yellow umbrella and looking down at the ministers below.

Liang Jiugong said at the top of his voice: "Morning court, ascend to court!"

The ministers began to kneel down.

Seeing this, Kangxi didn't scream, but just said like a loud bell: "Under normal circumstances, I won't ask you to make a big comeback. But what happened recently is really unreasonable!"

When I heard this, I didn’t dare to get up, for fear that I would be named in a while.

"It was just to recover the debt. The tenth prince sold his property on the street and whipped the imperial officials. The officials cried in my Qianqing Palace. Even Wei Dongting, who had accompanied me to pacify the Three Feudals and recovered Taizhou, could not pay back the debt. I would like to ask you, what do you think of the treasury when borrowing money? You are the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the treasury is the root of the Qing Dynasty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers buried their heads lowered.

Kangxi glanced at the one wearing a black hat and drooped his head at the last time.

He directly called out: "Lao Shi, as the prince, you owe so much money to the national treasury, what did you do?"

"Return to Emperor Ah, my son has paid back all his money!" The tenth prince replied aggrievedly.

"I really don't care whether you paid it back or not, you just answered me, why did you do that money? If the fourth brother hadn't chased the treasury this time, would you still owe it?"

"How can I do it? I naturally have to take care of the expenses in the mansion and be more decent and not lose your face. Moreover, I don't pay it back by myself, but borrow money everywhere." Master Shi frowned and replied.

"You have a salary of nearly 20,000 taels a year. Your mother also left you a lot of money during her lifetime. I and her also gave you a few farms. You are still crying here and you are still crying poor! When it comes to shame, what else is it more embarrassing than going to the streets of the capital to call sellers and whipping the imperial officials. You have read all these years in vain."

"I can't read, but some of the books I can read are even more than what I owe?" Master Shi said indignantly.

Finally, he glared at the back of the third master in the front row.

"Who are you talking about here!" Kangxi's voice became a little louder.

"Third brother, didn't he owed 400,000 taels of silver? That's much more than Erchen. Not only did you not talk about him, you also made an exception to paying him off with his own money. Erchen raised money here and paid it back. You don't have to worry about it, but you are still talking about Erchen here." Master Ten said with a flat mouth.

That look, it was really a son who complained in front of his old father.

Baba was wronged and described the pitiful appearance of his old father being partial to his brother.

"What do you think? I'm so embarrassed to ask me, I'll tell you clearly in front of everyone. The Third Prince summoned a group of well-educated people and compiled dozens of books, including "A Collection of Ancient and Modern Books", which ranged from astronomy to geography, including people, birds, beasts, insects, and even literature, musical rhythm, etc. There is also a book on astronomical, mathematics, music theory, which has been compiled and will be printed soon."

Printing at this time was not as good as modern times, but it was much better than the previous dynasty and belonged to movable type printing.

It is by replacing traditional copying or printing plates that cannot be reused by using movable metal or clay cubes.

The method of printing movable type is to first make a single-word positive text mold, then select the single words according to the manuscript, arrange them in the character plate, and print them with ink.

After printing, remove the font mold and leave it for reuse again the next time you type it.

"In the past, he always spent his own money to edit books. He really had no choice but to explain the reason to me. Not only did I have to pay the money for him, but in the future, I also asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to him every month to make him devote himself to literary works."

"Look at you again. You spend all day wandering around the capital. You either buy jewelry to make women happy or set up a place to listen to the opera. I heard that you have bought two theaters in the capital. Do you want to stay in the theater in your life or something! Now I am still embarrassed to mention it with the third brother. I haven't asked you yet, what should you be punished for whipping the imperial officials that day!"

Now, the Tenth Master was speechless by Kangxi.

Originally, he was uneven and felt that Kangxi was partial.

Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be punished.

How can I still have the confidence to speak?

"Emperor, the Tenth Brother is this kind of personality. Please spare him this time." Ninth Master looked up and spoke for the Tenth Master.

"Don't you go, he must stay in the clan's mansion for three months!" Kangxi ordered directly.

"Emperor, I know my mistake, I will definitely learn from my third brother in the future!" The tenth master kowtowed.

Kangxi was indeed prone to soft-heartedness towards his son.

But it is also for those who have been raised by their side since childhood or have a promising future.

Kangxi was not soft-hearted at all about a fool like Shi Ye.
