There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

What makes people even more nervous is that these Portuguese are far smarter than people from other countries. They are not only looking at Taiwan Island, but also the inland of the Qing Dynasty.

Eight out of ten merchants in the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou have had transactions with the Portuguese. When meeting them on the sea, they have to pay a large amount of money for the road. On the way back, the merchants have to pay one-third of the purchases from overseas countries. Offer with both hands.

The Portuguese will send these honestly handed over merchant ships to their destinations with a good attitude. If they don’t hand over...then they will only end up buried in the belly of fishes.

To put it simply, after losing the awe of the navy of the Ming Dynasty, the sea has already become the world of these Westerners!

Prince Kang was deeply angry about this, and as far as the country of Dibala was concerned, it had already changed hands between the Spaniards and the Dutch several times.There are also many Han Chinese from those places who have settled in Taiwan. They can't wait to agree with both hands and feet to Prince Kang's plan to fight there!

At the end of Prince Kang’s memorial, it was written that he wanted to go deep into Nanyang, and take a look at what these inland westerners were doing in Nanyang!

Kangxi knocked on the imperial case.Although Prince Kang's idea is good, if he enters rashly, he may cause a backlash. It is better to choose a group of loyal and honest people to go to Yuanyang through merchants to see the specific situation. Kangxi will not underestimate these Western colonists, God knows How far have they invaded the nations now!

Keeping this in mind, Kangxi opened Erdo's memorial again.

Erdo was mainly responsible for paddy field planting and military expenses. He described the situation in various parts of Taiwan carefully, and pointed out that the plain in the middle was the best planting area, but there was a serious problem.

That is, according to the common people, it has been flooded all year round, and sometimes there are strong winds passing by, and the damage is very serious.

The strong winds are concentrated in August and September, and the time is short, but the floods are more serious, which means that dams need to be built in Taiwan.

Ordo didn't care about it at first, but how did he know that when he arrived on the plain, he happened to encounter one of the strong winds. Under the violent wind and rain, it was hard to find a place to stay.

What is even more frustrating is that the local roads are all made of yellow mud. After a dozen rains, they all turned into mud, and their feet got stuck in it. Every step was extremely difficult.

In the memorial, Ordo described in detail the number of manpower, time and cost required for local infrastructure, dam construction and farmland reclamation, and he was sure that after solving this problem, the annual output of this plain would not be lower than the annual output of Jiangnan water town.

This is a very attractive number.

Even Lin Ruhai, who is no longer in charge of the household department, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw it.

However, manpower is a very serious problem.

The number of natives on it is very small, plus the population of the survivors of the previous dynasty is only about [-], plus the [-] households that migrated over, the population is less than [-] including women and children. I want to digest the entire plain Obviously an impossible dream.

In other words, more people are needed.

Kangxi pondered.

This time, his idea was directed at the Eight Banners who were doing nothing in the capital.However, Kangxi only told the great scholars about this idea, but was immediately refuted by Suo'etu, Mingzhu and others.

If you want the Eight Banners to go to Taiwan to be a farmer honestly, stop dreaming!

Presumably, Kangxi left these useless Eight Banners disciples aside, and had no choice but to return to the Central Academy.The Guozijian is also in his consideration, but the reform of the Guozijian is extremely difficult, and it is difficult to get rid of a group of stubborn old clansmen.

After thinking about it, Kangxi had no choice but to ask all the prefectures and counties to register the lost land or the refugees in the past, and even the beggars on the road were not spared.

Even so, there is still a shortage of manpower.

Kangxi only wished that the Junggar tribe would start to riot now, so that a group of people could be caught and sent to Taiwan for reform!

"Your Majesty!" Li Wei said solemnly, "It's only been a short period of time since Taiwan was recovered. If too many people go there, I'm afraid it will be easy to cause trouble if the local area is not well managed!"

Beating around the bush just felt that Kangxi's steps were too big.

Kangxi also knew something in his heart, he was indeed in a hurry!

"Yes... I don't need to be in such a hurry." Kangxi took a deep breath.His time is still long, no matter how ambitious he is, he has enough time to do it!

In the blink of an eye, June 19 arrived.

The last two earthquakes gradually disappeared as Kangxi said, but these two earthquakes were extremely serious, and could even be compared with the first earthquake.

Not to mention the vicinity of the capital, ten provinces including Shaanxi and Gansu in the west, Liaoning in the north, and Jiangsu and Anhui in the south were all affected by the disaster.It's just outrageous that, on the contrary, the farther away from the capital, the lighter the earthquake, and the most victims of the disaster!

These places were obviously blinded by the disappearance of the aftershocks after the year. Many people were unwilling to follow the government's command to seek refuge in the suburbs, and even many officials were too lazy to take care of them in the end. As a result, the death toll approached the first time!

When the news came to the capital and fell in front of Kangxi, Kangxi immediately became furious, and directly ordered: Anyone who obeys the order and refuses to do so will be removed and sent to prison to wait for disposal.Those who were ordered to do something but were unable to do so were ordered to go to the post-disaster to be responsible for digging up the injured and other things.And the very few who obtained orders and forcibly enforced them regardless of the opposition of the people, not only received praise from the people, but also received commendations and rewards from Kangxi, with a bright future.

In these places, disease followed.

There are only a few people who are willing to burn the corpses of their relatives. In feudal thought, burning the corpses of relatives is a serious crime.

The clans and clans in many villages agreed to burn those who died in disasters and diseases, but secretly transported them to the clan land in the countryside for burial.

When it was discovered that someone in the clan was infected with the disease, it was already too late, and when the report was reported to the government to send a doctor, at any time a weak person would fall down and no longer breathe in the team that came to treat him.

Coupled with the increasingly hot weather, many people even died tragically on the streets, and the filth filled the air, but the yamen did not have enough manpower to transport them out of the city and burn them all.

As time went on, nine out of ten people in the whole city got the disease.Among the ten infected, six or seven died, and in some cities, more than half of them were killed or injured.

In the end, all of this turned into a line of numbers written on the secret letter. Just seeing the death toll on it, Kangxi knew that it would be so tragic even if he closed his eyes.

But as an emperor, he is high above the ground, but he can't take a step forward and try his best to help these people who are struggling in life and death.

"Your Majesty..." Suo'etu looked at Kangxi's heavy face and persuaded softly, "In such a large-scale earthquake this time, the death toll was less than a thousand, which is really rare. Now the Tai Hospital has transferred most of the recoverable All the doctors sent out have been dispatched, and now that the letter is coming back, hundreds of doctors have joined the team along the way and went to the epidemic area with them. There must be so many people here, and they will definitely handle this matter properly!"

Before the earthquake happened, Suo'etu did not expect that the combined power of all the people would be so powerful and make people so excited!

The soldiers and civilians who wanted to work together to save people in the ruins, and then thought of the people who were full of smiles and hopes after the disaster...

Suo'etu didn't know the emotions in the emperor's heart. If it wasn't for the family's instructions still ringing in his ears, he would have rushed to the epidemic area in person to save people with these ordinary people who he once despised!

"...Yes! I believe that they will return in triumph!" Kangxi nodded emphatically.

Imperial edicts were posted to every city announcing the end of the earthquake.The common people in the capital have smiles on their faces, and their daily work spirit is getting stronger!

Houses in civilian areas collapsed the most. Kangxi simply made Prince Gong Changning, who was idle and had nothing to do, responsible.

Small rich families or merchants with a certain amount of money can also submit their own expected orders, and they can remodel the house as long as they pay a part of the imperial court's engineering team.

By the time the construction was completed and the common people in the capital moved back, the time had come to December of the 19th year of Kangxi.

The new year was approaching, and it was the first new year after the disaster, and there was more hustle and bustle outside the palace than in previous years, and the faces of the common people were full of joyful smiles.

However, the atmosphere in the palace is not high, the reason is that Concubine Tong Gui of Chengqian Palace is becoming more and more ill.

The more Concubine Tong got sick, the more uncomfortable Kangxi felt. Apart from going to Jingren Palace to accompany the queen in the past six months, he had never stepped into the harem!

Even the concubines going to the Empress Dowager to complain is of no use in the past!After Kangxi confessed her plan, the empress dowager turned a blind eye - the concubine didn't understand, it must be because the empress saved the empress dowager, each of them could only curse two or three times secretly with hatred Voice!

With all the unfavorable conditions combined, Concubine Yi is the one whose status in the harem has declined the fastest.

Since Kangxi's eighth son was born at the end of 18, Concubine Yi has never seen Kangxi!Due to bad luck, the eighth son chose to land in this earthquake that lasted for half a year.After such a big event, where did Kangxi put his energy on her, and after a long time, her voice gradually disappeared.

Many palace people even spread rumors about the eighth elder brother behind their backs. The palace people couldn't avoid it in time, and they only wished that they could grow two legs and bid farewell to this former favorite concubine.

The eighth son didn't do the three baptisms, he didn't do the full moon ceremony, he didn't get a name when he turned one year old, and he didn't even get a reward for giving birth to a prince.

It seems that in the former harem, whether it was Kangxi, the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager, they all forgot that Concubine Yi gave birth to an elder brother.

No matter how bitter it was, Concubine Yi could only swallow the bitterness.

But if he is forgotten any longer, I'm afraid that life will be difficult in the future!Concubine Yi looked around at the palace servants around her and gritted her teeth and made a secret decision. She put her arms around the eighth son and kissed him on the cheek: "Emiang will definitely pave the way for you."

In the past, she always joked that Concubine Shu thought too much, but now that she was holding the soft ball in her hands, Concubine Yi clearly understood the reason Concubine Shu had done so many things.

Self-improvement for the mother.

These four words echoed in her mind, and Yi Fei smiled wryly: "Delicate."

"The servant is here." The atmosphere in Yikun Palace is not good, and the smile on Lingqiao's face is not as bright as before, looking at Concubine Yi with a little anxiety.

"Bring me the half-made inner shirt."

"Yes." He turned around deftly and opened the curtain to leave the room. When he came back, he was holding a large bamboo basket in his arms, inside which was an almost finished inner shirt. The dragon pattern embroidered on the light yellow background was obviously made for the emperor.

Concubine Yi took the clothes, carefully arranged them in her hands and carefully placed them on the tray.Standing aside, Ling Qiao asked in a low voice: "Master, many sets have already been sent. The servants in Qianqing Palace all said that the emperor was a lot haggard because of the earthquake, but he lost a lot of weight. The previous data has been relaxed, so I'm afraid the emperor doesn't fit at all!"

"Fool!" Concubine Yi shook her head slightly, "Do you really think that the emperor will wear all the clothes made by me? The only hair in the palace is made by the empress, and the emperor can't use it up, let alone made by me. This palace only hopes that the emperor can take it for a try!"

Ling Qiao still looked suspicious.
