The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The seemingly peaceful court hall was actually not peaceful at all.

Kangxi was in Beijing, and before the gold award festival, he ordered Zhang Penghe to be imprisoned in Yangzhou to deal with the case of the Jiangnan examination room.

Although the Chinese New Year is lively, in the first month, Kangxi issued an order, ordering the internal and external ministers to explain the matter.

That is to say, the secret report memorial begins here.

The secret report memorial, that is, the "secret report" system, began from then on.

The reason is very simple, Kangxi found out that the Crown Prince inquired about the contents of the Imperial Memorial, which is not true, and it is not true if he does not say so.

What's more, with Shisi so far away, the prince can know that Shishi is rich, and even send someone to blackmail him. What is a prince supposed to do?

Kangxi was very angry about this.

However, Kangxi is 60 years old, and he has been emperor for 50 years, which is unprecedented in history.

So on February [-]nd, the day when the dragon raised its head, he ordered Zhuo Yi to be introduced by the civil servant.The imperial edict said: "With the passing of peace, the population is increasing. Afterwards, there is no need to pay more dime money for the breeding of household registration, that is, the number of dime this year will be the quota and the order will be issued."

This is the policy of "breeding people and never adding taxes".

He won the praise of civil and military officials and the people all over the world.

Relying on the huge profits from overseas trade and the royal navy's share of spoils, Kangxi no longer looked down on the taxes on the common people.

He felt that what Fourteen said was right, how much money would the poor people have, even if they sucked their bones?

It's better to develop outward, there is so much wealth in the sea, why do you have to bully your own people?

Even, the Fourteenth Lord heard the news and wrote a letter to Kangxi excitedly. Every word in the letter was full of appreciation, and he even said, "When my son opens up the territory for Huang Ama, in the future under the rule of our Qing Dynasty, the common people Live and work in peace and contentment, no longer any taxes, even, the imperial court subsidizes the farmers who cultivate the land, who dares to rebel?"

This is a bit exaggerated, and the fantasy is too strong.

Kangxi laughed aloud when he saw it: "This kid really dares to think."

But Fourteen has a childlike heart, which has not changed until now, and even said that he would give him, Huang Ama, a surprise.

What a surprise?Kangxi didn't know, but he knew that only this son supported his policy, and everyone else was surprised. How can a court support civil and military officials and soldiers without taxes?

Even the relatives of the royal family and honorable ministers?

Don't think he doesn't know, the life of this group of people is much more luxurious than his. He has fourteen sons to support him, and he is a little timid. They don't have such a good son who can provide them with such a large amount of money.

Just thinking of this, Prince Yong came to report to the Ministry of Industry, especially the embankment of the Yellow River.

He intends to see for himself.

"You go and have a look... It's okay, you can't tell anything just from some notes." Kangxi nodded, thinking that the fourth son has done a good job: "You take Shisan with you, so you can have a helper. "

"Yes, Shisan is a good helper, and Shisan is still there, so it's time to go out and do some business." The fourth master said, "Besides, this time, I also need help."

"Okay, take them all with you, by the way, take Lao Jiu too, he has money!" Kangxi disliked Lao Jiu in every aspect, who would let Jiu Ye do business without paying taxes?

It didn't do Kangxi any favors either.

This made Kangxi very dissatisfied!

Of course, he gave it, and Kangxi didn't necessarily want it, but it was his fault that he didn't give it.

Kangxi's mood was already fluctuating, and no one could tell the old man's pulse.

The fourth master asked to show that Beijing was allowed, and the thirteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth brothers all went together, which made the eighteenth and nineteenth brothers envious. They were still young and could not leave the gate of Beijing. At most, they could go out once. Gongmen, let's play in the capital.

Not to mention the [-]th brother, he wrote to the [-]th, and there are typos!

21 Elder brother doesn't remember anything, he is still wrapped in diapers.

But Master Jiu followed, which was somewhat surprising.

Lord Jiu was also dumbfounded. After receiving the news, he ran to Babeile's mansion. Although Lianbeile's mansion had been restored to its original appearance, it was not as good as before.

The tenth master also came here, and now these two masters are the only ones who visit the door frequently.

The eighth master was still in the study, so the two of them went in, and the eighth master glanced at them: "Come?"

Master Jiu poured tea and drank a cup by himself: "I'm dying of thirst, mynah, what do you think about the fourth child? Although I have had contact with him, it is definitely not good enough to run errands together."

"Then why did he order Ninth Brother in front of Huang Ama?" Shi Ye was also puzzled: "Also, if you want to bring someone there, it should be those of us who have errands. Ninth Brother is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs He hung up a idle job and was busy with his small business every day, why was he sent there? Still with the fourth brother."

But the eighth master noticed that the ninth master called Prince Yong "the fourth child", but his tone was not so harsh, as if he was a brother.

Master Shi, on the other hand, called "Fourth Brother", obviously treating Prince Yong as a brother.

Ba Ye remained calm: "Who knows? Prince Yong probably lacks a purse, right?"

Everyone knows that the ninth master is rich, and the fourteenth master is the God of Wealth. These two people are like the Pixiu that attracts wealth. They are especially able to make money and bring wealth to people.

Although Ba Ye has been decadent for a while, he is fine now, there is no shortage of food and drink at home.

"Isn't it? The dignified Prince Yong is richer than me!" Master Jiu is still a Baylor himself.

His own brother became the prince, and he was cut off from the throne. Even the county king is impossible, he can only be a Baylor.

"No matter what, Huang Ama has already made a decision, are you going to disobey the order?" Ba Ye said: "Go along and see, what's going on with the river course? I'm also wondering, those years , Where did all the money go? Why can’t it always be repaired?”

There are many problems on the river course. In fact, Ba Ye also reached out, but he just got a few votes and quit. I don't know who is so courageous behind.

However, if the problem on the river course is not resolved, there will be no peace for the bank of the Ministry of Households.

After all, cleaning up the river and repairing the dams all need money, as well as people's power.

Just like that, Jiu Ye reluctantly followed Fourth Master out of Beijing on business with his luggage on his back.

As a result, Concubine Liang became seriously ill at this time. It was not the first time that Concubine Liang became seriously ill, but this time the imperial physician issued an ultimatum, and maybe... she couldn't make it through.

Babeile already has a son and a daughter, both born of two concubines, Gege.

However, Babeile did not raise the status of the two Gege, they are still concubines, if it is the side Fujin, it is estimated that the Bafujin will be useless.

This time Babeile was able to come back, thanks to Bafujin's contribution.

She talked to her natal family, spent time and effort to bring back Babeile's title, and even gave her the title of "Lian", Lianbeile.

Not a good name.

The side of the hall is called Lian, so it is from Guang.The hall of the son of heaven is nine feet, the princes are seven feet, the big family is five feet, and the scholars are three feet.

The side of the hall is as high as it is.

Set up a seat in the hall Liandong.

The edge is called clean, and the corner is called corner.

This title is neither good nor bad.

Moreover, even the tenth master is working in the Ministry of War, but the eighth master has been idle all the time, having banquets in the palace. If the ninth master and the tenth master have not been working hard in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the eighth master may not even have a seat.

Now Concubine Liang is seriously ill, but Concubine Liang doesn't see Ba ​​Fujin, nor does she summon Babeile.

This made Babeile very worried. Now that he had come to realize that he was not filial to his mother-in-law, how could he be filial to his Huang Ama?

But Fujin has completely offended Concubine Liang, and even Concubine Liang is seriously ill, so she has to prepare for her funeral, and she doesn't want Fujin to visit her sick.

Concubine Yi also hid, how smart is she?Ever since she was humiliated by Long Live Lord last time, she has never seen Ba Fujin again.

Even if Jiuye said all the good things to Jiufujin, it's useless!

But the Fourteenth Master was far away in Guangzhou, and when he heard the news that Concubine Liang was seriously ill, he even asked someone to bring the bird's nest from the seaside to Concubine Liang.

Concubine De also has it, but Concubine De took it to Concubine Liang to see: "Look, Sisi has sent you bird's nests across thousands of mountains and rivers, so you have to get better, lest Shisi miss you .”

Concubine Liang was lying on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, her smile was faint, but she was absolutely sincere: "The child who worked so hard, still misses me, a cheap mother-in-law."

"What are you talking about? You are his concubine Liang, and this child even told me that when he comes back, I will make you a bowl of longevity noodles, and all diseases will be cured." Concubine De actually looked down on the weak concubine Liang. Personality, in this harem, the concubine Liang can live for so long, thanks to Kangxi's care, the concubine Liang and Concubine De have also met when she was young, that is really the harem of Yanguan.

Even when the years get old, it is like an orchid flower, the fragrance will not change when it gets old, and it will be hugged on the branch.

However, Concubine De's actions made Kangxi very satisfied. He felt that Concubine De was a good mother-in-law. Although she was a bit biased when it came to the fourth child, how could there be a mother-in-law who didn't love her youngest son?

Fourteen's news in Guangzhou is not very clear, but he trained with Nian Gengyao in the Royal Navy for a winter.

It was a sunny and sunny spring day, and the Fourteenth Master decided to go to the Navy Camp with Nian Gengyao to have a look.

As a result, after he went there, he found that the big camp had changed a lot. Not only was the discipline strict, but it also changed its appearance. Everyone was wearing hurdling vests and big pants. This was designed for them by the Fourteenth Lord. Wear clean clothes, training clothes are also available, and they have to be washed, and they even shaved their heads for convenience!

Because men in the Qing Dynasty have braids, and their hair is too long, it is not easy to wash or dry.

So, after Master Fourteen came in, he saw a group of bald heads!

But the Fourteenth Master knew it was because it was convenient for training and bathing, so he forgave them. Besides, the folk customs on the beach are more open, so it's no big deal.

"It's fine if the Fourteenth Master doesn't blame me." Nian Gengyao was actually a little uncertain whether the Fourteenth Master would be angry.

"Actually, it's understandable. This is for better work. What are you blaming?" The Fourteenth Master said, "If it's not allowed, I also want to shave my head."

He's had enough of this braid, alas, it's a sign of the Qing Dynasty.

Nian Gengyao was terrified: "Don't do it, it's a big taboo."

When the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, Long Live Lord cut her braids and buried her with her to show her filial piety.

The fourteenth master shaved his head bald for no reason, it is estimated that they will lose their heads...

Cao Yong was very surprised when he saw the great change of the navy. He didn't spend much time on this group of people, but he didn't eat this kind of rice after all. When Nian Gengyao came, he gave Nian Gengyao all his brains.

And Nian Gengyao did not disappoint him.

It was managed very well and now it is even better.

Even the fourteenth master went to the kitchen, and the kitchen looked completely new.

The boss of the Huotou Army said honestly: "Although I'm a little tired, but I'm clean, and everyone doesn't have diarrhea, so it's fine."

After all, it's a big pot of rice, and the Fourteenth Master can't ask too much, he can only do well in hygiene, taste, as long as it can be eaten, and it is cooked.

Even the kitchen windows are covered with screens to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.

While they were cooking, Nian Gengyao took Fourteenth Master to the sea boat.

All the large ships are docked in the dock. These people are cleaning the ship. Not to mention the deck is clean, it has also been varnished and waxed, which is a means of maintaining ships in ancient times.

Master Fourteen didn't quite understand, but it could be seen that everyone was working hard, and they were probably going to go to sea, and everyone was very excited.

Going to sea means earning money and loot points.

If they don't go to sea, they have to train continuously. Everyone suffers unspeakably. Although they have food and salary, they don't have any extra income. Many people hope to go to sea as soon as possible.

But the above said that if you want to go to sea, you have to pass the training. For this reason, a few big soldiers are forced to know how to read and write, at least three hundred thousand!

A lot of people complained about this, and it was the first time in the world that one had to be literate to be a navy.

But if you learn it, you will get two taels of silver, and you can pass the test as soon as possible, and then plan to go to sea.

The Fourteenth Master felt that the navy had almost rectified, and when he had dinner with Nian Gengyao, he found that the Huotou Army had also changed.

Fish-flavored eggplant pot, boiled shrimp, clay pot rice and chimney cabbage, served with coconut chicken soup!

The workmanship is simple but full of Guangzhou characteristics, and although these dishes are big pot dishes, the taste is not bad.

Especially the cook is willing to leave the ingredients.

Fourteenth Master was very happy to eat: "Huotoujun's cooking skills have improved."

"Is it? If you do well, you will get the bonus." Nian Gengyao forced the fire leader to practice the craft for a long time, and the cauldron must be delicious.

"Yeah!" Fourteenth Master was very happy to eat. ,

After dinner, Nian Gengyao took Fourteenth Master to a place.

This place is next to Nian Gengyao's suite. It is a large suite, better than Nian Gengyao's, and it is a three-suite one.

The main hall is for receiving guests, next to it is the study room, behind the study room is the bedroom, surrounded by flower trees, it looks very beautiful, and the windows are covered with screens, not to mention the bright and clean windows in the room, there is also a faint fruity aroma.

It turns out that the wooden floors in this house are all lychee wood, and the wood used on the windows is camphor wood, which does not attract mosquitoes.
