A new journey of accumulating wealth

The situation outside the city affects the hearts of everyone in the city.The common people pay attention, fearing that it will cause chaos if they are not careful.After all, the places in the city are limited, and some families with many sons will give them away one by one after they get married.Because houses outside the city are relatively cheap now, and the location is prosperous, starting a business is no worse than in the city.Therefore, many families, in order to fear that the price of the house will rise, and that they will not be able to buy a house in a good location if they buy it too late, the speed of dividing their sons is really fast.There are also some sons who are studying outside the city and bought a temporary house for the children.Those who worked were also placed outside the city.There are also some families who bought shops and houses outside the city purely to make money.But no matter what kind, they stay outside the city either with relatives or property, just ask, who is not worried.

"I don't know if my third child's house has been shut down. The mess outside can't go out to buy, and no one sells it. The neighbors want to borrow, but no one dares to open the door. If this continues, those who come from other places are willing If you can’t starve to death, our locals have to starve to death at home.”

"Who says it's not! Let alone outside the city, my family's food can't be carried for three days. In the future, we have to use the old method, and we have to store food at home. You can't just wait for the paper money to buy some cheap ones just because you want to save trouble. This time, I took my own money to the bank to change it, and then bought cheap ones, and I felt at ease when I kept it at home. When something happened, people who kept food in their homes felt more at ease than people who kept money. "

That's right.

Everyone gathered together and chattered, and no one knew who said, "The food is good, but the old lady in the family has to go out of the city every day to go to the medical center. Recently, I can't go out of the city. The old lady can't eat the food and medicine that hurts at home." If you don’t go down, you will die if you continue like this.”

"It's not bad for you, it hurts, you can't find a pharmacy in the city, grab some painkillers or buy some painkillers, you can always survive..."

"You pretend I didn't go? The price of the pharmacy in the city is skyrocketing now. A porcelain bottle of painkiller pills, the kind from the Royal Pharmacy Hall, used to cost about ten copper coins. Now? Now it costs half a tael of silver." ..."

"Ouch! This is the price of killing."

"As long as you spend money, you can get medicine anyway! The daughter-in-law of the Li family at the alley, when she went to the medical clinic, the doctor said she had twins. They didn't mind it, saying that it would be better when they got there. Anyway, the baby was born there. It doesn’t cost money. Who knows it’s so good. I can’t get out now. I started it this morning. I’m looking for Wen Po now. But where can I find Wen Po now. Wen Po was there earlier Followed in the medical clinic, and those who learned well became female doctors in the medical clinic opened by the government. In other state capitals, she was also a well-known figure. Now where can I find a midwife? If something happens, it will be One dead body and three dead."

"That's worse than the old patient!"

While the discussion was going on, I heard the sound of gongs beating in the city.

What is this notification?

oh!I heard it clearly, and the Royal Pharmacy and the Huimin Department jointly informed: If you have a sick person at home and need any medicine, you can go to the pharmacy to buy it, and the price will not be increased.In addition, there are patrolling soldiers pushing food every day, and everyone can purchase it at a low price. Each household purchases with its own household registration certificate, and each person can buy no more than half a catty per day.

But this is the case, Xie En's voice is everywhere.

Someone said, "Have you heard? Those people outside the city have all rushed to find the old saint, and asked the old saint to take care of the current saint."

"That's what it should be!"

"Yes! Whose son can't ask his father to take care of him if he commits a crime!"

"No, no! I went to inquire about the news just now. Isn't my nephew on duty at the gate of the city? My nephew told me to go home quickly and don't get involved. He said that the palace had issued an order to guard the gate of the city tightly." , in the past three shifts, now all staff must be on duty..."

Then the guard is three times as usual.

"This means...the emperor doesn't even want the old saint and the old lady!"

How is this different from knowing that there are robbers outside, and the father is outside the door, and the son is afraid of the robbers coming in, so he watches his father being killed by the robbers outside?

Rebel!

"Didn't the emperor talk about benevolence and filial piety? If there is no filial piety, where does kindness come from?"

"Who said no?"

"It's not always true, we can't just guess. The emperor may have other plans."

"What's the plan? If I had planned to take the old sage and the old lady back secretly. I wasn't so nervous before. Why didn't I think about it at that time."

"Didn't you send troops to the academy?"

"This is outrageous! Your son is outside the city, can you just give him two more nursing homes and leave it alone?"

"That's my own son! Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"That's right! That's your own son, isn't the emperor the old sage's own son?"

"Maybe the old sage doesn't go to the city by himself? Can't the medicine hall and Huimin's office arrange this? The emperor will definitely not care about everyone's life or death!"

"What do you know? These two places were stipulated at the time, but when a disaster level is reached, some mechanism must be activated. It seems that someone told me... At that time, the old lady insisted on adding it. She said yes These two places reserve a portion of supplies and medicines every year in case of emergencies. What kind of people say this is not dead, no matter who is in charge in the future, they have to follow the system..."

"The old lady is a good lady."

"The old saint is also a good saint."

There was a pungent woman passing by, and she said casually, "The old lady is right about many things, except one thing is wrong."

Her man's face turned pale with fright, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why are you talking nonsense? The old lady said that girls are also precious! Yes! Girls are precious, but you can't do without a son! Look at the old lady herself, if she has her own son, why is this so?"

This is not without reason.

"Prince Renhui - no, Emperor Renhui just left too early."

"That's right! The emperor himself said that if Emperor Renhui was still alive, the throne would not be passed on to him."

Off topic!

The common people say what they think of, and what they say counts.

But the palace is different.

In the palace at this moment, Qianlong was sitting on it with his lips tightly pressed.Kneeling down there are all the ministers!

These ministers are not divided into any camps now, and they cannot be divided into camps.No matter which side you look at, this matter has to be resolved, and it is imminent.This is true from a business standpoint.Isn't that true from a personal point of view?The sons, daughters, and grandchildren of many officials are studying outside the city, and they belong to the old school. The children did not go to the academy because of their position as elders, but what about the clansmen?The position is different, that is the attitude towards the outside world.Only when there are people on both sides can the family last forever.But this doesn't mean that you can watch the outstanding juniors in the family really suffer outside.This is one of them!The second is to oppose the handling of this matter now. This is in his position without seeking his own government, and he also wants to make enemies with the officials of the new school.More importantly, the emperor can covertly ignore the old sage and the empress dowager, but who would dare to say that among their courtiers?This is outrageous!

Therefore, the attitude can only be one: this matter must be resolved.

Forbidden sea can not be forbidden sea, that is not to be discussed now.The point now is that the people have to be evacuated, and the confrontation cannot continue like this.

Hong Zhou stood in front sobbing, "Your Majesty, I must take Huang Ama into the palace. What should I do if something happens to me?"

Hongluo stood up, "Your Majesty, my younger brother will pick you up. My younger brother will go in person."

Hongli knew that Hongluo's anxiety was not as ulterior as Hongzhou's.Hongluo was anxious because her mother-in-law was on his Zhuangzi.Because it was safe there, there were only a few nursing homes on Zhuangzi except for some servants.If something goes wrong, Zhuangzi on his side will be the first to bear the brunt.He not only wants to pick up Huang Ama and Huang Erniang, but also his Erniang.

Hongli frowned, and said in a firm tone, "I have dispatched heavy troops to guard the academy hospital, so there won't be any problems. That is also my Ama Erniang, and my twelfth elder brother is still listening in the academy. Could it be that I Aren't you more worried than you?" As he spoke, he looked at Su Ying who was standing behind, "I've thought about it, this matter has to be dealt with. How to deal with it? With the transfer of funds from the bank, anyone who is willing to return home, the court In addition to paying the expenses, the imperial court dispatched ships to send the people from the south back to their hometowns."

The following ministers look at me and I look at you. This method sounds good, but it is difficult to do!

It is true that there are lures ahead, and some people have a bumpy journey, and they can't stand the hard work, so they naturally retreat.The hearts of the people are not in harmony. Some people think that they should persevere, but some people think that returning home is the best result.Once someone took the silver and left, it seemed like the matter was settled.

However, as long as there is such a commotion, the court will give money, so how many people will flock to it.The results obtained may not necessarily be what you really want!It may make the situation in front of you more and more chaotic.

But Qianlong didn't even know this? "The bank does not issue silver directly, but only banknotes. Each banknote has a number on it, and it can be registered and recorded when it is issued. Where does this person live, how old is he, what is his name, and what number of banknotes did he receive..."

What about impostors?

Officials have such files on portraits, but the common people have not so far.

But even if this thing can be so perfect, the obvious problem is the banknotes.Su Ying'e explained: "There are not so many banknotes nowadays..."

"Print and distribute!" Qianlong gave these two words, and the tone was beyond doubt.

print and distribute?

Many ministers raised their heads in an instant. Is this something that can be printed and distributed at will?

Su Yinger raised her head in a daze, "Long live, the banknotes can't be rotten! The risk of getting out of control is huge!"

"No matter how big the risk is, it will be in the future. What risk can be greater than the risk facing the capital at the moment?" Qianlong didn't have to question.

The courtiers who knew a little were trembling, they were a little worried that the money they put in the bank would become worthless.

Su Yinger shook her head: "I can't obey the order. Doing so is just transitioning from one risk to another... Actually, the matter is far from this level. There is a corresponding mechanism in the Huimin Department, and I think I can learn from it." [-]. Since the imperial court wants to send these people back to their hometowns by boat and car, they can ask the Huimin Offices set up in various places along the way to help resettle them and provide the most basic food supply. If there are relief coupons from the imperial court, they should also be issued Or Huimin coupons, which can be used to receive food, cloth or medicine at the local Huimin office. The daily limited supply can relieve the pressure on the local Huimin office, and the outflow of time can collect materials from various places to supplement the local Huimin office gap."

Everyone has always known about the Huimin Office, and they have always regarded these places as places like the Yuyingtang.I didn't pay much attention to it.No one has ever carefully studied the various regulations of the Huimin Department.The same is true for Qianlong.

Now that Su Ying'er was speaking so eloquently, everyone was surprised. It turned out that someone had already thought about various problems.

It is said that he should be happy, but Qianlong couldn't be happy.

He suddenly discovered that many things seemed to be above the imperial power.The so-called emergency mechanism can be directly activated by skipping many links.

So - what do you want the emperor to do?

Huimin is like this, and for whom is he inviting people to buy?

And respect?

no!It's the empress dowager——it's my empress mother!

Moreover, since there is such a mechanism, why has it not been proposed before, and no one has taken the initiative to do it.Don't wait for things to evolve to this level.

There are also strict regulations on which mechanism to activate at that level, and it must be followed by rigid indicators.

Furthermore, the court's attitude towards this matter is also very important.Before Huimin made a decision, he must have thought that the imperial court was capable of handling this matter.

The result is not that it can’t be dealt with. The government from all over the country can transfer rice and grain along the road to ensure their most basic life.When you get to the place, you can use the imperial court's note to exempt from tax and corvee, etc., all of which are available.

The imperial court also tried to guide in this direction before, but the timing was not right, and they refused to compromise until the other party was tired and exhausted.The emperor just made such a move - printing and distributing banknotes!

At this time, it is impossible for Huimin to stay still.

Qianlong just said that he wanted to summon Princess Hejing, but it was reported outside: the people outside the city were excited, and the old lady had sent Princess Hejing to explain the policy of Huimin Office, but the people still refused to leave.I only want one thing, to meet the old sage, and ask the old sage and the emperor to give the people a clear answer on the forbidden sea.

"Advance an inch! Have nothing to fear!" Qianlong frowned, "This is because they know that they have security, so they are more at ease. The weaker the court, the more confident they are!" He called Fu Heng, "You immediately save me! The old sage is here Zhuangzi is not safe, you take someone there. No matter who gets in the way, shoot and kill!"

This is not going to save the old saint back to the palace, it is clearly to use the excuse of saving him to kill him!

Fu Heng was silent for a moment, then said yes in a deep voice, got up and walked away.

Seeing him go out, the courtroom was in chaos in an instant.

Liu Tongxun stood up anxiously, "Long Live Lord, absolutely not! Absolutely not! Even the people who came to petition are unarmed. They don't steal, rob, or make trouble. They just sit quietly outside Zhuangzi..."

Before he finished speaking, another report came from outside: the outside of the palace was surrounded.

"Who opened the city gate?" Qianlong was furious, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"If you go back to the emperor, the gate of the city is not open. Sitting around the palace are students from Zongxue Banner School and free schools from various places. The older ones are only fourteen or five years old. The younger ones are only six or seven years old. The older ones are pulling the younger ones. , sitting neatly at the gate of the palace... reciting the "Book of Filial Piety."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent!

If it is a refugee, they may shout and kill.If you are an adult scholar, maybe you can talk about the pros and cons.

But those are all children, and this is the real thing.A family is involved behind every child, with parents, elders, brothers and sisters behind them... If you dare to touch one person and hurt another, the capital will be in chaos in an instant.

Liu Tongxun hurriedly said: "Protect! Protect! Prevent people with ulterior motives from using these children to cause trouble."

Not only can't beat or scold, but also have to take care of them carefully.

Laibao got up tremblingly, and the people around him supported him so that he didn't fall down, "Your Majesty, for the present plan, we should make a quick decision. First, invite the old saint and the empress dowager back to the palace. Second, Appease the people inside and outside the city. It is allowed to send those who are trustworthy and prestigious among them to enter the palace together to discuss matters. Third, guard the soldiers, and do not use knives or guns except when necessary to maintain order."

Qianlong was silent for a long time.

Laibao was anxious, "Long Live Lord, please make a decision as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues, it will be a disaster!"

Qianlong looked at Laibao and asked, "What is a king?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall bowed their heads.

Qianlong then said: "The word "Jun" comes from "Yin" and "mouth". Yin is for governing affairs, and mouth is for issuing orders. Also, the king's words are golden. Now, the king's orders cannot come out of this hall. Then I would like to ask all the ministers , am I king?"

"I'm waiting for ten thousand deaths!"

"It's good for you to recite the scriptures of filial piety outside the palace!" Qianlong walked down the steps and asked, "I am the father of the emperor, and the emperor is my subject. You should know filial piety, and you should know loyalty even more. Disobedience to the king is the right thing to do." What kind of crime? I have only heard that sons respect their fathers, but how have I ever heard of fathers respecting their sons? The people are unfaithful and filial, and disobedient to the ruler, but all the ministers only persuade the ruler to be the father... I want to ask, what did I do against the sky? Should you bear this kind of infidelity? I would like to ask all the princes in the court, how did the inconclusive matter in the court spread to the outside of the palace and spread quickly. Ministers, don’t find out the calculation behind it The father of the king, but he always persuades the father of the king to back down? Where is the majesty of the king?" Qianlong walked in this hall, and deeply felt the disadvantages of the new learning. They ignored the monarchy and moved the foundation of the whole world.If everyone regards the monarchy as nothing, what will he become as an emperor in the future?It's just a puppet kept in the palace.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty each have their own thoughts.Or thinking about the property of the family outside the city, or thinking about the children and grandchildren who are still in danger outside the city.Therefore, they advised him to take a step back as soon as possible to alleviate such contradictions.

But once back, the matter was resolved.Afterwards, the common people got a little bit unhappy, so they got tangled up and petitioned here and there.At the gate of the imperial palace, anyone can do whatever they want here... What else would he do as an emperor?

The courtiers are afraid that killing will make them infamy, but I am not afraid!

I have to be an emperor first, and have the supreme right first, in order to survive.Otherwise, anyone can live, only he can't.

The position of the monarch and his ministers is different, and the thoughts and thoughts are different.

They are right, but I... Could it be wrong!That's right!

So, listen to you or listen to the emperor.

My imperial decree can no longer be passed on to the hall, isn't this the fault of you ministers?

The guards inside and outside the main hall stared intently, as if someone's blood would be splashed on the spot with the emperor's order.

Since ancient times, there has been no bloodless struggle for imperial power.

Qianlong's voice penetrated the main hall, "The situation outside is chaotic. I have already sent guards to guard the mansions of your lords. As for the academy, my Ama lives there. The emperor Ama is safe, and the children and grandchildren of your lords should also be safe. "

Everyone was shocked, it turned out that the family members had been watched by others.

This scary colleague also makes people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.No matter how benevolent and lenient it looks, the emperor is the emperor.Once the opponent's bottom line is touched, it becomes extremely dangerous.

Fu Heng stood at the entrance of the main hall, before he had time to leave, he looked back at Qianlong about this matter.

Qianlong went over and patted Fu Heng on the shoulder: "Go! Everything is entrusted to you."

Fu Heng's eyes fell on the hall, and all the adults in the hall looked at him with complicated eyes.He turned his head, didn't look any further, and strode away.

Seeing Fu Heng's back getting farther and farther away, Qianlong turned around, "My lords have been in the palace for half a day, and I haven't had a sip of water. I'm going to rest in the back, and you can use it as you like. Let's wait outside the palace together. News."

As soon as he left, Wu Shulai followed closely behind.

Hong Zhou hesitated for a moment, then stood up and staggered after him, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, wait for me! I have something to say! Fourth Brother——"

After chasing after him, Qianlong looked at Hong Zhou coldly, "He Prince, what's the matter?"

Hong Zhou's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't joke around today.Today, everyone has touched the dragon's reverse scale, and if they are not careful, they will die.

His face also became serious, "Long Live Lord, this slave has something important to report."

Ah!

Say it!

"Before, you approved a batch of firecrackers for the navy who was training on the river. Originally, you should receive a reply today, whether you have received it, and the number received is correct. This is all to be entered. And this matter, except for the slave, no one else can handle it. But the slave has been in the palace for so long, and now I don’t know if there is a reply there. Huang Ama once explained that firecrackers and gunpowder are different from others, and there is no mistake. Yes. The servant is not there when the check-up time comes, and I feel very panic. If the check-up time is only delayed because the servant is in the palace, that’s fine. But if something goes wrong and the servant doesn’t know, it may cause serious trouble Therefore, the slave came here to ask for an order to see what should be done about this matter?"

Qianlong narrowed his eyes, "Old Wu, get up! What are you doing? I understand what you said, do you want to leave the palace?"

Hong Zhou's heart broke, "No! I don't want to go out of the palace. I just want to ask you to send someone to ask. It's okay to bring the person who replied to the errand into the palace. It's the same for the servant to check in the palace."

"That's it!" Qianlong nodded and looked at Wu's book, "Go! You can make arrangements. Besides, let's prepare a meal, and keep it with the prince."

Hong Zhou behaved well, "The slave leads the order to thank you."

Sitting at the table eating, it was the first time that Hong Zhou felt that the palace was so cold.Such a long table, the emperor sat at one end, and he sat at the other end.The emperor had no expression on his face, his eyes were cold.What about him?Sitting here is like sitting on pins and needles.

"Old Five!" Qianlong suddenly said.

"Ah?" Hong Zhou was stunned for a moment, almost choking to death on a fish ball.After swallowing it with great difficulty, he hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Your servant is disrespectful, please forgive the emperor."

Qianlong didn't raise his voice, but asked, "Are you thinking that Fu Heng might not be willing to obey orders?"

Fu Heng is not stupid!Now he is on a killing spree, but in the future, his good fourth brother will have to put the charge of unauthorized killing on Fu Heng's head.Use Fu Heng's head to appease the emotions of the people.This kind of situation will be wiped out and killed in a blink of an eye... With Fu Heng's understanding of the emperor, can't he guess the final result?

Hongzhou sighed, "The servant thinks that maybe it would be better to find someone with a lower background to do it."

"But...people of low birth are not enough to appease the common people!"

Hong Zhou was stunned for a moment, did his fourth brother admit that he planned to kill the donkey from the very beginning?

I heard Qianlong say, "I like that child Fukang'an very much, and he has already been taken to the palace. Later, I canonize him as the king of the county, and he will be treated the same as my elder brother."

Hong Zhou's tears suddenly came down, "Your Majesty, Fu Heng is loyal to you..."

"If you are loyal, you will have your own benefits!"

What do you mean?

Hongzhou stopped crying and looked at Qianlong blankly.

Qianlong smiled, ordered the plate of fried quail, and told Wu Shulai, "Your fifth master likes to eat, bring it to your fifth master." He told Hongzhou to get up, "Hurry up and eat, it will be cold in a while." .”

Hong Zhou's hand was trembling while holding the chopsticks, he was really worried whether the plate of fried quail in front of him would have poison.The fourth brother of my family is right, he is a quail, but he is timid.

And Fu Heng looked at his lieutenant general and smiled, "You are bold."

The lieutenant general lowered his head, "General, I'm so timid. It's because of my timidity that I know the meaning that the holy will cannot be done."

Fu Heng sighed, "You have been with me since you were a child. I released your slavery, arranged everything and sent you to the barracks. Later, I transferred you to my side and trusted me. But I never thought that you are not me. people."

The lieutenant general lowered his head, "General, small things have small missions. The general has never known these things until now. You knew it a long time ago, so why didn't you point out the small things. Now you point out everything small, Does this mean that you, General, have made up your mind and plan to disobey the meaning of the Holy Majesty?"

Fu Heng smiled wryly. Before he entered the palace today, he didn't know that his most trusted lieutenant was actually the emperor's man.Really don't know at all!It was only when someone put a letter in his carriage before going out today that he knew about it.I didn't know what that meant at the time, but I understand now.People didn't tell Wan Wan not to tell, but if they told him at this time, it means that this person is going to be used a lot.

How to use it?

When he left the palace, he figured it out.If I don't listen to the words of the Long Live Lord, this person can immediately hold me hostage and give orders.Because I have never defended against this person.If someone hadn't reminded him that this person wanted to attack him, he would really be helpless.

If a disobedient person is pushed out by Long Live Lord in the future, I'm afraid he won't even feel sorry for him.

Of course, it is obedient. After it is released in the future, the emperor will probably care about his affection and take care of the old and young left behind by him.

Fu Heng touched the letter hidden in his waist, he could only choose to betray the emperor.The person who is calculating behind this, even knows who is hiding beside him, and even tipped himself off at the right time. If such a person doesn't win, it doesn't make sense.

Therefore, when the emperor said that he would push it out, he took advantage of the situation and chose to betray. The monarch and his ministers should not owe anyone.

As soon as he waved his hand, the lieutenant general was taken down.He shouted, "General, if you don't care about yourself, don't you also care about the young master in the palace and the Fucha family?"

The children in the palace should be protected by someone.

As for Fucha's family, they should be completely surrounded at this moment.

Yes!Fucha's house was completely surrounded.It's not that Fu Heng didn't want to go back, but after several hesitations, he didn't turn back. He wanted to see if the person behind him was really so considerate to his subordinates, and did he really have such a plan?

Seeing that the city gate was opened and was about to leave the city, people from Hejing Princess' Mansion came and reported in a low voice, "The princess and the son-in-law are at Fucha's house with their children, and the princess is sitting at the gate of Fucha's house. You can go at ease."

The surprise in Fu Heng's eyes flashed, "Princess?"

The man nodded, "Yes! It's the princess!"

He Jing betrayed her Huang Ama!Protecting the Fucha family at this moment?

The man nodded again, "Let's go, general. The mansion will definitely be safe and sound."

Fu Heng rode forward without any hesitation, "According to the emperor's will, protect the old saint. Open the city gate—"

Does the old sage need a guard?

No need!

Fu Heng will never forget the scene he saw when he brought people there.The empress dowager was cooking porridge with the female students from the academy, and there were three or five stalls, each busy.From time to time some male students are helping.

And the old sage took a few students from the academy who had been reselected to the scholastic school, holding a rough porcelain bowl in their hands, and sat down to eat with many people in a low voice.The people around the old sage seemed to be elected, maybe the old sage was too kind, and these people were not restrained in their speech.

He brought soldiers, and the commotion lasted only a moment.

The old sage got up and waved to Fu Heng, and then said to the people around him, "Don't be afraid! The imperial court is not a den of bandits, so how can you keep the people from talking? You just sit down."

When Fu Heng came, he also heard the old sage talking to these people, "The Qing Dynasty has a vast area. Sitting in the capital, it is difficult for the court to know the local affairs immediately. This requires the court to speak out widely. Of course, it also requires us to learn from others. Now the students of the Academy of Engineering are working on something that can be transmitted thousands of miles..." Si Ye said this telegram, "When it is completed in the future, it will be in every corner of the Qing Dynasty , What happened one moment ago, the palace will know the next moment. What to do, how to do it right, this Chaozhonghe place, people who come and go, have a discussion, and they will do things. Now it is The central government didn't know the specific situation of the place, didn't know what everyone was thinking, and didn't give everyone a channel to give feedback. As a result, everyone left their homes and businesses and went to the capital to work all the way, and those who lived in the open... When there were too many people, It is easy to cause panic. What was originally a small matter has become a big event, do you think this is the truth?"

"That's not right! Each of us is a sesame seed. It's scary to look at the sesame seeds piled up together."

The fourth master just laughed, "Everyone is not sesame! It has to be watermelon. We have masters who can make and repair looms, and experts who can sail boats and watch water. Even that tall and strong brother is also amazing. It’s not a shame to rely on your strength to eat. Everyone has their own ability, so what’s the shame in eating according to their ability? Besides, what you said just now is very good. I asked if I could give you the black rubber wheels Use! Of course! In the future, rubber wheels must be used for transportation first to reduce everyone’s labor burden.”

"We are afraid of the forbidden sea now. If the sea is forbidden, we will have no business!"

The fourth master waved his hand, "Forbidden seas and foreign trade are two different things. Forbidden seas mean that in the sea area of ​​our Qing Dynasty, foreign ships that have not been approved by the Qing court cannot enter and exit at will, let alone inland rivers. Everyone thinks, if this is our own field, people can get in if they want, and get out if they want, will that work?"

"Of course it won't work! When you meet someone with a good mind, you just pass by. If you meet someone with a bad mind, and the crops are damaged, who do you turn to?"

"That's the truth! Our old saying is good, you can't have the heart of harming others, and you can't be without the heart of defense. The rules are set there first, so as to avoid accidents and confusion. I think that in this matter, the imperial court' Ban' is different from the 'ban' that everyone thinks. The imperial court's 'ban' refers to banning foreign ships and not telling them to run around, so as not to affect our own people in the Qing Dynasty."

This is good!This is understandable.If you know this is the case, what's the trouble?

Those foreigners are not good. They are afraid that the imperial court will restrict them, so they deliberately do not do business with us, and everyone will make a fuss.

The fourth master said again, "But as long as foreigners want to make money, they have to follow our rules. If this foreigner doesn't cooperate, then there are many foreigners who are willing to cooperate. The difficulties we encounter are temporary, and the ones we photographed before The diplomatic missions of the Qing Dynasty should come back soon. They brought back not only businessmen, but also envoys from the other country. We not only want to do business with businessmen, but also with other countries... So, everyone Don't worry about not having work in the future..."

As soon as the words came out, there was applause from around.The sound came out from here, and people who didn't know asked about it, and then the sound spread out in all directions like a wave.

How could Fu Heng think that the scene he saw was like this.The old sage maintained the face of the court and the emperor, and cleverly avoided the word "forbidden sea".The imperial court's face was improved, and the common people thought that the imperial court was wronged.

So, rejoice!

His mood was a bit complicated. Facing these petitioners, the old sage backed down again and again, and satisfied the other party with whatever they wanted.In the eyes of Lord Long Live, this is probably the least powerful expression of monarchy.He will not tolerate the existence of people who challenge the monarchy.

Facing the turbulent tide of people, the old sage is like a fish in water, but the emperor is like a beast in the face of a flood!

The people are like water, and the water can carry a boat!And this time there is only one king supported by the rising tide, and that is the old sage!
