    Although Emperor Pinzhao wanted to be generous, he was deliberately cautious, fearing that Mr. Hu would be so happy.  After all, Chen Huang is a commoner, and there is still room for promotion in his future.  Chen Huang is now in his forties. He worked full time until he was sixty, and was promoted two or three times, just enough to become a second-grade official.  The emperor turned around and summoned his chamberlain to serve tea and sit down. After Chen Huang drank some tea to calm down, Kangxi told him in detail:

    "Chen Qing, the alliance has indeed entrusted you with a rank. No matter how high or low it is, it is just a formality. Your specialty is water management. You will continue to assist Jin Fu in water management in the future. For now, let's serve as a third-rank commander.  Come on. As long as you work hard and down-to-earth, and get an excellent grade in the first grade in a few years, there will always be a chance to be promoted to the second grade."

    Chen Huang's eyes widened when he heard this. The expression on his dark face was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He rubbed his hands tightly and couldn't help but burst into tears after just brushing them.  The eunuch who was still standing next to him reminded him in a low voice, "Hurry up and thank the emperor for your kindness!" Chen Huang reacted and immediately knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness. Kangxi did not stop him, so Chen Huang probably had no other options for the time being.  , can relieve excited emotions.  Kangxi also felt that it was aggrieved to see an old man crying.  When Kangxi waited for Chen Huang to stand up, he still whispered to him: "Now that Aiqing has achieved fame, you might as well think about your life in your free time, so as not to delay you by worrying about state affairs."

    Chen Huang nodded in agreement.  Emperor Kangxi then thought about it and gave him a special instruction: "Chen Qing, you have to make up your own mind. If you really don't want to start a family, Lian will not force you to do so."

    Chen Huang was disoriented and a little confused by Kangxi's overthrow.  Kangxi waited for Chen Huang to retire before calming down. He sternly warned himself that he must not meddle in his subordinates' business in the future. It would be extremely bad if he didn't like women at all.

    How did Kangxi know what Chen Huang was thinking?  When he was young, he had an adventure. When he was passing through Ningxia to investigate geography and hydrology, Chen Huang escaped from a beautiful and enthusiastic Mongolian girl.  At that time, Chen Huang was in the prime of life, looking smart, capable, and suave. The girl loved his appearance and character, but she hoped he could stay on the grassland.

    Chen Huang is from the south, and he is not used to the nomadic life. He occasionally tries to find it fresh, but how can he bear it year after year?  What's more, he was determined to serve the court and gain fame, and he was unwilling to indulge in the love between his children on the grassland.  This is the first love between a man and a concubine.  It only lasted for half a year and then disappeared, leaving a beautiful but sad memory in my memory.

    Since then, Chen Huang has devoted himself to water conservancy, but has always been unable to achieve results and is frustrated and hesitant.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There were many matchmakers who introduced wives to him, but Chen Huang was white, getting older, and had to do a thankless and painful job like water control, and he couldn't go back home many times throughout the year.

    This is true to the saying that those who are willing to marry Chen Huang are widows, women with no salt, or women with a slight disability.  Chen Huang is proud of his talent, has a high level of ambition, and comes from a scholarly family. Naturally, he longs for a good family who is a lady, well-educated, and has a clean family background.

    "It's a pity that beautiful people are willing to peel off, but happy people are not beautiful."  The gentle ones are not single, the single ones have children.  Infatuated and without family background.  He has a good family background but looks down on him.  Chen Huang had no choice but to look away and continue running.

    In the next period of time, when Emperor Kangxi was free, he summoned Chen Huang to the South Study Room to jointly budget the plan for the comprehensive management of the Huanghuai River.  Preparing financial budgets in the company at the beginning of each year was originally Kangxi's strong point. After the special budget for the river management project had an initial scale, Kangxi could not stand the money-burning posture. He allocated three to four million taels of silver a year and spent ten years with the company  The profit is about 40 million taels, which is enough for the national fiscal revenue for several years, not to mention that there are other businesses to do at the same time.

    Kangxi thought about it for a while, grabbed Chen Huang and asked, "Chen Aiqing, do you have any projects to make money?"

    Chen Huang replied that yes, Kangxi was so angry that he asked him to report it quickly.  Chen Huang said that the silt washed out during flood discharge can be used to feed fewer people and reduce labor costs; in addition, if directional flood discharge is adopted, the general area of ??farmland along the river can be controlled; large areas of fruit trees can be planted along the middle and upper reaches of the river, etc.  There are also additional benefits, but it will take three to five years to be effective, but after all, it is only a small amount."

    Kangxi sat there with his sleeves rolled up and thought, it would be great if hydropower could generate electricity. He could just send someone to read the meter and collect the money while sitting in the palace. Alas.

    A few days later, Chen Huang couldn't bear the trouble. When he rushed into the palace to see the emperor, he boldly asked Kangxi: "Your Majesty, when do you plan to send your ministers back to Henan and Jiangsu to control the floods?"

    Kangxi was adding potentially profitable projects to his budget, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that he had saved hundreds of thousands of taels of money to reward land reclamation and cultivation.

    Kangxi turned to Chen Huang and asked Chen Huang warmly: "Chen Qing has only been a capital official for a few days, and is he feeling bored now?"

    Chen Huang?He was slightly isolated, and he hesitated for a long time before replying: "Back to the emperor, I really can't help you. There are still several sections of rivers in Henan and Jiangsu that have not been explored, and I am not used to the luxury in Beijing."

    After Kangxi heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with the underlying meaning. He nodded and said, "Chen Qing, just wait a few more days. The Union has already sorted out the river engineering budget. Later, you can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask for a quarterly one."  Transport it away with ICBC and repair it according to the original plan first. Let the accompanying personnel help you with the accounting registration. If there is any difference between the actual occurrence and the budget, record it for now and adjust it at the end of the year."

    Chen Huang was overjoyed when he heard that the emperor agreed to his request. He immediately agreed and took the order to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report the money without mentioning it.  Kangxi thought for a while and ordered Shuangxi to call back the young eunuch who was sent out to buy groceries and inquire about trivial matters in various parts of the capital to sort out and report on Chen Huang's situation.

    It turns out that Chen Huang was summoned to Beijing for nothing. There was no fixed date and no government interface to control him, so he temporarily stayed at a Ping'an Inn.  But by chance, the next day, Chen Huang fell in love with Tianyan, and Emperor Chrysostom ordered him to ride the roller coaster and ascend directly to the rank of commander of the third rank.  As soon as this appointment was received by the staff, the situation was immediately stirred up.

    ?According to common sense, from the common people to the ninth rank, even if they jump three levels, they cannot pass the sixth rank. How can there be someone like Ying Qianzong or Wei Qianzong who can move so quickly and reach the sky in one step?  The Ministry of Officials sent people to investigate the three and six generations of Chen Huang's family, and found out that no one was involved.  Although he was only a foreign military official, it still made many adults whose relatives had fourth-rank assistants and xuanfu envoys feel very unhappy.

    The dissatisfaction in the official circles is due to the lack of balance, but in the official media circle, it is like a stone that stirs up thousands of waves and is extremely busy.  It has become a universally recognized truth that all wealthy bachelors always want to marry a beautiful wife.  In the blink of an eye, Comrade Chen Huang has transformed into a king with a gold nose and diamonds, and has become a favorite in the official media circle.  The big-footed matchmakers collected a lot of money and came to the door with dozens of birth dates and boudoir embroidery portraits. They almost trampled the door of Ping'an Inn, which was not big or small, to pieces.  It also frightened Chen Huang so much that he wished he could fly away from the capital immediately and go back to find a quiet Hechazi to relax.

    Kangxi was dumbfounded when the young eunuch described it vividly. He never expected that women in ancient times hated marrying. How could it be so exaggerated?  The little eunuch smiled and explained that it was because Mr. Chen said that it was a rare gift for thousands of years.

    He, the gold-and-diamond king, is at the pinnacle.  It doesn't matter if he is older, I assume he will be considerate.  Being busy with your career is very reliable. You can be reused by the emperor, but you don't have time to mess around with women.

    "It's very good to have never been married. When you walk in, you will see your first wife."  It doesn't matter if you don't have a mansion in the capital. If you buy a mansion, your mistress can be the head of the family.  In this way, there is no need to serve the parents-in-law to set the rules, no step-sons and concubines to play tricks on the bottom, the family is single, and there is no need to work hard for ten or eight years to get married, and she is a guaranteed third-grade imperial wife, the most outstanding official wife in ancient times.  All the ladies in the capital who had daughters to marry were so excited that they went crazy.  "
