I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

Eleventh and Twelfth elder brothers recovered from their illnesses in just three days. The miracle that happened in front of them was like a shot in the arm, making all the imperial physicians excited.

Immediately afterwards, the news spread to the palace.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Wanliu Hashu, who were frightened, accepted the good news in a daze before they even put the copied scriptures on their desks.

Then the news spread to the court.

This good news undoubtedly shocked everyone, and the speed of research was pushed back and forth. In addition, Kangxi spent a lot of money to recruit death-row prisoners and ordinary people to participate. The victory of smallpox seemed to be imminent.

The praise books from all over made Kangxi's mood infinitely high, but the good mood only lasted for four or five days, and he was hit hard again.

Accompanied by the secret letter sent back by the prince and others, followed by a piece of impeachment from Jiangnan and Jiangxi governor Fu Lata: Suing the governor of the river channel Wang Xinming and the governor of Jiangsu Hong Zhijie for cheating, delaying the river project, enriching private pockets, etc. crime.

Kangxi was furious.

He had to immediately order Jin Fu, the previous governor of the river, to take office urgently, and then drag out the courts who impeached Jin Fu and elected Wang Xinming to take office one by one.

Xu Qianxue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, is impressively listed.

Last time when he dealt with Nalan Mingzhu's henchmen, he had very good eyesight and was not caught. But this time, as the mastermind, he was directly targeted.

There was another bloodbath in the entire court.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Yinzhen and his party who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

After leaving the river, the subsequent journey has become smooth sailing, and the occasional corrupt officials can be regarded as side dishes for the tooth-fighting festival when they have nothing to do on the way.

Take a dragon boat ride down the river.

During the period, due to the lack of income in the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Yinreng went to the capital to ask Khan Ama to forgive taxes and taxes. At the same time, please stay back and forth for a few days to wait for the imperial decree, and then stay for a few days to worship Ming. It was the end of February and the beginning of March.

In previous years, the southern tour should be ready to leave for Beijing at this moment.

But this time the purpose is for the Fujian Navy, seeing that there is still a long way to go, Prince Yinreng decided to stay for a few days after arriving in Hangzhou Mansion, to take a good rest before moving forward.

"Why did you choose Hangzhou?" Yinzhen couldn't forget Yangzhou's thin horse, and sighed secretly that he didn't pass through Yangzhou when he came here.

But it is said that the return journey will pass by, and when the time comes...

Yinzhen secretly clenched his fists, keeping the issue of local products in his heart.As for the Hangzhou Mansion, he lacks interest.

He didn't know that the prince Yinfeng in Yinzhen's heart was different, so he introduced Hangzhou Mansion with great interest: "Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty mentioned in "Wu Jun Zhi" that there is heaven in the sky and Suzhou and Hangzhou on the ground, so we can see that Suzhou Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion The beauty and richness of the city are unrivaled in the world. When we stay in Hangzhou, we can take a small boat to walk around the West Lake and see the Broken Bridge of the Su Causeway, which has a special flavor.”

"Rich...?"

Yinzhen held his cheeks: "But the second brother of the prince, although Han Ama often said that the world is rich and prosperous, most of the people we saw along the way were poor and weak, and they didn't even expect to be full. As long as they don't starve to death, they are satisfied. This is still the fertile south of the Yangtze River... Not to mention Guangxi, Guizhou and other places in the northwest, how much poverty is there?"

Prince Yinfeng was silent for a while.

Immediately, he reached out and touched Yinzhen's little head: "Look at the situation in Zhili, hasn't it improved? When sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and improved rice are all over the Qing Dynasty, there will be no ordinary people because of food shortages. and die."

"But many people who came here have never heard of these things." Yinzhen rested her chin feeling a burst of resignation in her heart.

It is no wonder that the progress of the system business line is so slow.

The speed of progress in Zhili made him think that the speed of promoting these crops would be very fast, but he did not expect the speed to be much slower than expected.At this rate, it will take until the year of the monkey to see new progress in the system?

"That's because the publicity hasn't caught up."

"Newspaper..."

"If the newspaper is used by lawbreakers, it will cause chaos in the world." For this point, Prince Yinfeng still supports Khan Ama's plan, which is more important step by step.

He looked serious.

Looking into Yinzhen's eyes, he said every word extremely seriously: "Before there is no other way to speed up the contact between the local government and the imperial court, newspapers are not suitable for large-scale development."

As for the current speed...

Prince Yinreng withdrew his gaze and waved his hands helplessly: "Look, we have been out for nearly three months, and we have to wait for several days to get a letter from Khan Ama."

"...It's true." Yinzhen rested his chin and wished that a car would jump out of his eyes in the blink of an eye.He puffed his cheeks and complained secretly to Kangxi.

Obviously the steam engine has been handed over to Khan Ama, why is there no sign of it?Khan Ama's efficiency is too low!

If Kangxi knew about Yinzhen's slander, he would have to spray him to death.

The messy things that Yinzhen sent back had to be prepared step by step. At the same time, the Northwest battlefield did not stop at all, and Prince Yu Fuquan caught several secret works of the Raksha Kingdom on the battlefield—the negotiations with the Raksha Kingdom were also in trouble.

Kangxi: ...

He can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, and even more can't wait to capture the handsome prince and others who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River to work - I really hope that the prince will supervise the country, and it's me who goes out to play:)

Prince Yinreng's whole body trembled.

He rubbed his arm, feeling that the goosebumps on his arm were rushing out for a moment.

I don't know who is talking bad about me behind my back.

Prince Yinfeng always had an ominous premonition. He shook the goosebumps all over his body and continued to comfort Yinzhen: "When the paved roads are completed, the speed of vehicles and horses traveling between cities will increase greatly. There will be a huge increase in efficiency.”

"Speaking of the speed of cement paving roads, city walls, dams, etc., still can't keep up?" Yinzhen thought of this question again.

Whenever the four-wheeled carriage on the dirt road almost shakes out the souls of several people, if it happens to be on a mountain road... Hehe, it is not as fast and convenient as the previous two-wheeled carriage!

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded: "Indeed."

He turned his head to look at Prince Yinreng: "Second brother, should we go to Zhanhan Ama and build some cement factories in various places in the south of the Yangtze River? We need to speed up the paving of roads."

"Paving the road... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"...?" Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen raised a question mark together, and looked at the prince Yinreng suspiciously.

"Actually... Except for our patrolling, vendors and the like have to use it for a long time, and ordinary people seldom travel far. It's just that the roads in the city are well paved. How much money is spent on paving the roads outside? I'm afraid Even Khan Ama is willing and the courtiers are not willing!" Prince Yinreng had no choice but to seriously explain to his two younger brothers.

Now Yinzhen's eyes widened.

He was full of disbelief: "To get rich, build roads first. If there are no roads extending in all directions, how can there be communication? How can the goods in the world be transported to other places? How can merchants make money? If they can't make money, how can they pay taxes?"

Yinzhen Balabala said a lot.

Prince Yinfeng laughed and rubbed Yinzhen's little head lightly: "Since ancient times, agriculture has been emphasized and business has been suppressed. Agriculture is the foundation, and industry and commerce are the last industry. To build roads for some traders? Do you think the ministers are willing? Is Khan Ama willing? Besides, taxes are mainly from ordinary farmers, such as land tax and head tax. "

Yinzhen curled her lips: "There is still consumption."

Speaking of consumption envy, Prince Yinreng has nothing to say.

The so-called consumption envy refers to the fact that after the government collects tax silver from each household, it needs to be melted into large ingots of silver taels so that they can be put into the warehouse and handed over.

Among them, a certain loss will be caused during casting, which is called fire loss.Rats consume grains in storage, and sparrows consume them when they are turned in the sun... All of them will be added to the calculation of losses when expropriating.

Just as they traveled along the way, they found that the loss of many local government offices increased by a few percent at least, and more than ten percent at most, and some officials even increased their consumption by 30.00% grandiosely.The extra difference naturally went into the stomachs of these corrupt officials.

Yinzhen clasped her arms around her chest: "With so many taxes added, it's no wonder that the people are getting poorer and poorer. In good years, you may still be able to eat enough, but in bad years, you may have to work hard all year round and you may owe a whole debt. Read If you can’t afford books, you can only farm for a lifetime, and farming for a few lifetimes directly becomes a vicious circle.”

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen sat on the side thoughtfully.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he said softly: "Actually... maybe we can play Khan Ama, and propose the idea of ​​returning the fire to the public and sharing the money to the mother...?"

Prince Yinreng looked at his fourth younger brother Yinzhen in surprise.

With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and patted Yinzhen's shoulder: "Fourth brother is right, why don't you write down your thoughts and submit them for a look?"

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was shocked.

He blushed with embarrassment, and nodded slightly after a while.

As for Yinzhen, she was still nagging.

There was a sly smile on his face: "If you want me to say, it's better to increase support for business, and then hehe..."

"...?"

"Nowadays, only pawnshops and dental shops need to pay taxes. My brother said that all shops in the world should be registered and operated, and the annual sales should be declared to pay taxes..."

Yinzhen wrung his fingers and counted one by one: "If this is the case, the amount of taxes will be greatly increased and the amount of tax increases for farmers will be reduced? And the most important thing is——"

"the most important is?"

"Since road construction is beneficial to merchants, how about asking merchants to pay for it?"

"How could they be willing?"

"Second brother, if you think about it, you can put up a monument and say that this is a donation from a certain person to build roads... If the water conservancy dams are not related to people's livelihood and even the reputation of the court, my brother, I would like to give the naming rights to the marker."

Yinzhen chattered all the time.

Not to mention that although the prince Yinreng and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen were quite dumbfounded, at the same time, the shackles in their minds were instantly broken. The two opened their eyes wide, and the thoughts in their minds were vast, clear and rational like never before.

If Kangxi was changed here, he would have laughed a lot, not only would he not agree with Yinzhen's ideas, but he would have to tell him to consolidate the rule, and the most important thing is to make the whole Qing Dynasty solid.

It's a pity that the prince Yinreng and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen are here.Although the former has been educated by Emperor Kangxi all along, he is young and energetic, and is willing to accept the affairs of his heart.As for the latter, the eyes are shining brightly, and the ideas hidden in my heart in the past popped up one after another.

The three chatted happily in the carriage.

It wasn't until the palace people reminded that Hangzhou Fucheng was about to arrive that they stopped talking.

Prince Yinreng was still thinking about it.

He patted Yinzhen, and then Yinzhen: "Both of you have good ideas. When you get back to the mansion where you are staying, let's tidy it up and give it to Han Ama to have a try."

"...Give it to Ama Khan!?" The fourth elder brother Yinzhen widened his eyes.

"It's useless to say more if you don't hand it in, right?"

"Hmm... um, but would Khan Ama be willing?" Yinzhen asked in a low voice.

"If you don't try it, we don't know what the final result will be." Yinzhen patted the shoulder of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen carelessly, and clenched his small hands into fists: "As long as we seriously persuade Khan Ama, Khan Ama is here It will definitely be opened by Jinshi, and will definitely agree in the end!"

"Opened by gold and stone?" the fourth elder brother Yinzhen murmured to himself.

"I will definitely agree in the end?" Prince Yinfeng rubbed his chin, gradually lost in thought.

Then the two looked at each other.

A thought came to their minds, Prince Yinfeng asked cautiously: "Yinzhen, do you mean...?"

"That's right, from today on, the second brother and the fourth brother will also write letters to Ama Khan every day—until Ama Khan agrees." Yinzhen gave a thumbs up: "But of course I have to write one by one... first Start with road repairs?"
