As we all know, infrastructure burns money.

There is also a wise saying that everything is difficult at the beginning.

There is a lot of rain this year. Even if there is no major embankment breach, there are not a few fertile fields that are flooded. Most of the money in the treasury is used for disaster relief.

And even if the national treasury is full of money, large-scale water conservancy construction is not something that can be completed in three to five years. There is no turning back once the bow is started.

Unfortunately, the current imperial court has no money.

Guangqiutong is very familiar with the financial situation of the imperial court. The accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are so gaudy that others can't understand them. There is a lot of excess, and when there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, it can still be balanced. Once there is a catastrophe or a war, the treasury will definitely be short of money.

For the idiot of his family, the most important issue is not money, but that the water control plan he came up with has not been adopted.

The simulated results are good, but in terms of current productivity, it will take at least 30 years to complete, and the 30 years is still under the premise that the prince and others accelerate the development of industry.

Building dams, digging mountains and opening ditches requires large-scale machinery, or even an excavator. If all manpower is used, it is unlikely that the flood will subside when the idiots of their family die.

What's more difficult is that if you want to follow the simulated plan, many previously built dams and canals have to be modified, and others don't know that they have simulators. Who would believe that a teenager made something? ?

Guangqiutong substituted himself into Kangxi, and then said with a embarrassed face that not only did he not believe it, but he also wanted to clean up his son who had nothing to do with him.

Even if the idea was brought up by his beloved son, it would not work. In other places, children can play with it. Water control is such a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood that children cannot be fooled around.

In the eyes of adults, anything a child of his age is fooling around.

The crown prince and the fourth master should believe in the feasibility of the plan, but they both believe it is useless. Even the emperor can't decide such a big project by himself, let alone they are not the emperor.

To sum up, the plan is a good plan, but there is currently no way to implement this plan.

After listening to the analysis of senior Tong, Yin Qi lost even the desire to eat rice, 【It's so difficult to want to work, the fourth brother is right, the Ministry of Industry is not easy to mess with at all. 】

Those departments with real power have power anyway, and the Ministry of Industry, it’s fine if they don’t have power, and the proposals submitted will be suppressed. It’s too miserable for him.

[The system of the infrastructure department wants to play a role, either in a small world with extremely underdeveloped productivity, or the bound host monopolizes the power. Otherwise, the start is a difficult mode. The task of this small world is not to develop production. The start is very difficult. normal. ] Guangqiu Tong helped the glasses that did not exist, and his body exuded a light of wisdom, 【The best way now is to wait until your second brother or fourth brother succeeds, no matter who of them becomes emperor, your plan can pay for it. practices. 】

【senior. 】Yin Qi put down his chopsticks and sighed quietly, 【Do you know how long I, Khan Ama, have been in power? 】

Photosphere system: […]

Okay, plan one, PASS.

Yinqi sighed again, he wanted to be a useful person to the small world, why is it so difficult?

"Brother Nine, are you feeling unwell?" Yinzhen looked at half of the food left on the table, and asked worriedly, "Fifteen provoked you again?"

"Isn't it? I walked away for a while, and Brother Nine started talking nonsense in a fit of anger. Khan Ama even called the imperial doctor over and prescribed medicine for Brother Nine for a whole month." Before Yinqi could speak , Yin'er couldn't wait to start saying, that brat on Fifteen was really in a bad situation.

Yin Qi glanced at him weakly, "The imperial physician obviously only prescribed the medicine for three days."

Originally, I didn't even use the medicine for these three days, but I don't know what their family Khan Ama thought, and suddenly changed his mind. Even he knew that the medicine was three-point poisonous, didn't Khan Ama know?

So the father-son relationship will disappear, right?

Not only the father-son relationship will disappear, but also the brotherhood.

Yin'e knocked on the table, urging their ninth brother to take a few more mouthfuls, "Khan Ama said, after taking the medicine for these three days, let the imperial doctor watch and change the prescription, so that the ninth brother's body must be in good health relapse."

"I don't have any old illnesses." Yinqi clenched his fists and asked people to collect all the food on the table, ignoring Yinzhen Yiner who wanted to say more, and beckoned the three little ones to take them to Nansan Institute .

However, the three little ones did not let him worry.

Yinhu: "Ninth Brother, don't shy away from medical treatment."

Yinfei: "Brother Nine, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to speak up."

Yinxiang: "Ninth brother, do you want to hire an imperial physician?"

Yinqi's eyes were blank, his mind was full of nine brothers, nine brothers and nine brothers, and finally realized that having too many younger brothers is not necessarily a good thing. The few around him are not younger brothers, they are obviously a group of screaming cicadas.

"Nine……"

"If you call again, you will all be sent to the Qianqing Palace." Yin Qi raised his brows and threatened viciously as he glanced at his younger brother, "Let Khan Ama talk about you all day long!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

The good elder brother Yinqi took his younger brothers to see the new residence. After the riding and archery class in the afternoon, he did not return to elder brother's house, but abducted to Yuqing Palace to find their second elder brother to complain.

Is the best solution that was finally simulated really useless?

The second brother is amazing, with his cleverness, he must be able to think of a good way, if it doesn't work, then he can only use a backup plan that is not so effective.

He didn't want to have natural disasters every year in the rainy season, floods and droughts. The current grain production is not high, and if there are some natural disasters and man-made disasters to reduce production, the people's lives will be impossible.

Second brother, you can't watch the people in the Qing Dynasty suffer.

"You stop for a while, the second brother is thinking of a way." The prince asked the little ancestor to sit down with a headache, and stop swaying back and forth.

The little ancestor's action is too strong. He thought that those books would take at least [-] or [-] years to study thoroughly, but he forgot the unscientific system in this kid, which would take a long time for human beings to complete. , it is just a matter of a while for the system.

If possible, he would also like to stride forward, isn't there no way.

Jin Fu and Xiao Yu Jackie Chan were already blushing because of the water control. If he wanted to restore the dams they built and dredged the waterways to their original state, then the two of them would properly concentrate their firepower on him.

A truth of life, don't bully honest people.

Smaller than Jackie Chan, you can’t be considered an honest person, but Jin Fu counts. Jin Fu is really annoyed. No wonder it exploded.

Yinqi stopped wandering around, sat back on the chair and asked another problem, "Second brother, we don't have any money yet."

Everything needs money these days, the treasury is empty, and there is no confidence to do anything, why can't a few gold mountains fall from the sky to pay for them, silver mines and copper mines are fine, as long as they have it.

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, so don't worry about it for the time being." The crown prince squeezed his brows, and looked at his precious brother seriously, "Well, the second brother will find a way to ask your fourth brother to take you to see the yamen of the Governor of Hedao How it works, Jin Fu's second elder brother still understands, if he can be persuaded, more than half of the problem can be solved."

"It seems to be a good idea." Yin Qi nodded, let the technicians directly connect with the technicians, there is no middleman to make the difference, ahem, and no one else to pass the word, the purest technical confrontation is the most convenient.

He directly convinced Jin Fu that if Jin Fu took the initiative to ask to start over, they would be scolded for wasting money at most, and it would not be a big problem.

As for Jackie Chan, Mr. Yu is an outsider in water control, and the factional disputes in the court are watched by the second brother, so he only needs to get rid of Jin Fu.

Their family Khan Ama's understanding of the court ministers was beyond people's imagination, but some things did not touch his bottom line, and he was too lazy to take care of them. Obviously, Khan Ama trusted Jin Fu more in terms of flood control.

The second brother deserves to be the second brother, so he did it.

"There is a staff member named Chen Huang beside Jin Fu who paid him a lot of attention. Turn around and pay attention to this person. His skills should be no less than Jin Fu." Qi first went back to elder brother's house, and he went to Qianqing Palace to find out about their Khan Ama.

Problems that can be solved with money are indeed small problems for them. As long as the plan is finalized, it is not difficult to raise money.

Flood control and disaster relief go to the accounts of the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Accounts withdraws money from the treasury, but the money of the imperial court is not only from the treasury. The emperor's private treasury sounds less powerful than the treasury, but there is definitely a lot of money in it.

The money in the national treasury was spent, and they spent the money in the private treasury. For such an important matter as flood control, Khan Ama couldn't bear to part with the money in his private treasury.

If you can't bear it, you have to spend it.

If the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, and I don't want the children to be caught by wolves.

Yinqi turned his head, looked at the smiling and squinting prince brother, and persuaded him very worriedly, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense in front of Khan Ama, it's really easy to get scolded."

"Don't worry, the second brother has a sense of propriety." The crown prince waved his hand, but he didn't take his precious brother's advice to heart.

It is normal for Khan Ama to have no money in his private treasury. If he has too much money, he will not be at ease. They are doing a good deed to relieve their father's worries. How can it be nonsense?

Yinqi watched their second elder brother enter Qianqing Palace, shaking his head while walking towards Qiandong.

It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, the second brother took the initiative to scold him, he tried to stop him, but he couldn't, so he can't be blamed for it.

It is said that the older you are, the more stable you are. He himself knows how to work when he grows up. Why does the second brother like to make Khan Ama more angry as he grows up? Is this a special way of getting along between the two of them?

The ball of light fluttered unsteadily, 【Your father is an emperor who has been in power for a super long time~】

The emperor and the prince, except when the prince was young and ignorant, had almost no possibility of peaceful coexistence. The first leader wanted to be the first leader forever, and the second leader wanted to be the leader. It was strange that they could coexist peacefully.

The prince had learned a lesson once, so he started to eliminate the possible conflicts between father and son early in this life. As long as the emperor felt that the prince was not a threat to him, their plastic father-son relationship could be maintained forever.

No one could have imagined that their family, Khan Ama, could live so long. When he was just born, Khan Ama thought that he had a high probability of dying at the age of 40 or 20. If his luck was bad, he would die at the age of [-] It is not impossible to lose, so the treatment of the prince is extraordinarily high, sometimes even better than the emperor.

He received such high treatment since he was a child, and no one taught him what a normal child looks like. He just waited to grow up to be 20 years old, or become emperor in his teens. Who knew that Khan Ama would be the emperor for 60 years , it's normal for the two of them to have trouble like that in their previous life.

I have stepped on the pit before, and I will naturally not make the same mistake again.

It was getting late, the ministers of the South Study Room had already left, Kangxi was reading a book by the window, the prince came in to salute, and then began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.

It is too scary to tell Yinqi to go out with the fourth child directly, so let Khan Ama be a little bit psychologically prepared by talking about other things first, and then get down to business.

Before the soldiers and horses move food and grass, the funds should be secured before the plan starts to be implemented.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has always advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, with scholars, farmers, businessmen as the last, but it is undeniable that no one can match the ability of merchants to make money, and merchants who have the ability to make a lot of money will not be willing to be at the bottom, even if the status of merchants is low, the world There are also merchants like the imperial merchants who are not at all low in status.

Yinqi started to make progress, Yinzhen Yiner and the others couldn't be idle, especially Yinzhen, among so many brothers, there was such a good seed who could make money, it would be a waste of money not to let people out to absorb money.

Today, there are eight imperial merchants in the world, the titles bestowed by Lord Shunzhi back then. They are all Shanxi merchants, and each of them is a ruthless character.

The crown prince suddenly understood why some people like to ransack the house. All the ways to make money are not as fast as ransacking the house. Now Yinqi wants to enter the Ministry of Industry, and when the fourth child brings him in, he should go back to the Ministry of Households to do his old job.

Speaking of which, the happiest person who ransacked the house was not the fourth son of their family, but the emperor Jiaqing who copied the Heshen family. There were indeed many corrupt officials in the late Kangxi Dynasty, but when all those people were added together, none of Heshen could make money.

First release corrupt officials to make money, and then kill corrupt officials and confiscate their homes. This idea is absolutely absolute.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was crazy, but it was only a heartbeat, and he didn't dare to take any action. It was really fun when the house was ransacked, but the people who were plundered and humiliated by the corrupt officials were the ones who suffered the most.

That method hurts the peace, and it is better to focus on revitalizing the economy.

Shanxi merchants can be named imperial merchants, in fact, has a lot to do with Shanxi's geographical location. The north is the grassland, and the south is the Central Plains. This kind of junction is most likely to exchange goods. Naturally, people in other places can only go to the fields. When planing food, they knew how to do business between the grassland and the Central Plains.

As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the people of the Three Jins attached great importance to business. The Three Jins bordered the Qin State, and the Qin State was bitterly cold. In the eyes of the Central Plains countries at that time, it was no different from the barbarians, but trading with them was safer than the real barbarians. How to say It is also a vassal state entrusted by Zhou Tianzi. Compared with the tribes such as Rong and Di, the Qin people can be regarded as their own people after all.

During the Song Dynasty, the imperial court was poor and weak, and lost the horse farms. They could not do without horses in wars, so they could only find ways to buy them from other places. Shanxi has a good geographical location and is an important border area. It has been with foreigners hundreds of years ago In the trading market, the trade between the grassland and the Central Plains made them a lot of money.

A great man once said that if a capitalist has a profit of 50.00%, he will take risks; if he has a profit of [-]%, he will dare to trample on all laws in the world; crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

The same goes for these merchants. The relationship between Song, Liao, and Xixia is unstable, and wars and wars are not accurate. When the relationship is good, the market will be opened, and when the relationship is not good, it will be closed. Fly away, the legal discussion field opened by the imperial court cannot be used, and at worst, it will be secretly bought and sold.

Well, commonly known as smuggling.

Merchants want to make money, and the court also wants to make money. As long as they don't do too much, the court will turn a blind eye to this situation in many cases, and even cooperate with the government and business to get what they need.

In order to ensure the safety of the important towns on the nine borders, the Ming Dynasty successively implemented the method of opening the middle and the method of folding colors, which made the status of Shanxi merchants leap again.

Ordinary people are not happy to run to the border, and they only like to do business in prosperous places. Shanxi businessmen are different. Shanxi itself is an important border town, and there is their own doorstep. This is a tailor-made big pie for them. .

Salt and iron are the lifeblood of the country, and selling private salt is a capital crime, but once the Chinese law comes out, merchants will be able to intervene in the salt business, which is almost like a pie in the sky.

If you want to sell salt, you need Yanyin. The Lianghuai area is where salt is produced, but Yanyin is in the hands of the army in the border areas. In order to ensure the transportation of materials in the important towns on the nine borders and reduce the pressure on the court, merchants who want to obtain Yanyin have to go to the border areas. Transport grain.

Everyone wants Yanyin, but it is too troublesome to transport grain from the south to the north. Not to mention the long distance, if you encounter robbers and bandits along the way, the most terrible thing is to lose both people and money. Many businessmen do not dare to guarantee I can successfully send things to the border, but I have to give up the fat that reaches my mouth.

But this has nothing to do with Shanxi merchants. Shanxi itself is a border area. They only need to hire people to open up wasteland, plant the land at their doorstep and send the food to the nearby military camp. The convenience cannot be more convenient.

Selling salt is a lucrative business, and the punishment for selling illegal salt is so heavy that it still can't stop the illegal salt dealers from going forward. Now they can get permission from the imperial court to get a share of the pie here, and they are fools not to get involved.

In the Ming Dynasty, nine out of ten salt merchants in Lianghuai were from Shanxi. ,

Again, as long as there are enough benefits, businessmen do not pay attention to good and evil, they only care about how much money they get.

Shanxi merchants took control of the salt and the food supply of the frontier army, and developed to other places on this basis, ranging from silk and satin to onion and garlic, selling whatever they had, and even called it "where there are sparrows, there is Shanxi merchant".

When the Qing Dynasty was still in the Later Jin Dynasty, they had reached a cooperation with Shanxi merchants. The Mongols were not good at doing business, and their Jurchens were not good at doing business. The Mongols had Hui people to help them manage their industries. It is the businessmen in Shanxi and other places who make money.

Gold, silver and jewelry cannot be eaten, food is more important, if the Jurchens who have not been educated by the Han family use money to buy food, there is a high probability that people will be killed and robbed of food, and then they will never be able to buy food again. game over.

In other words, the most important thing about being an emperor is not your own ability, but the ability to know people and employ people. Lord Shunzhi recruited Shanxi merchants and bestowed generals on Jiexiu Fan's family, Qixian Qu family, and Linfen Kang family. The family of Jin merchants is the imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When they attacked Junggar a few years ago, the military supplies were not only prepared by the household department, but those imperial merchants also played a very important role.

In his previous life, Yinzhen had a lot of dealings with Shanxi merchants, such as Mongolia in the north, Russia in the north, Dongying overseas... Regardless of whether you think about it or not, these places almost have the shadow of Shanxi merchants.

He remembered that there was a family that specialized in the business of Japanese friends who were living a good life. They didn’t stop until the copper mine over there was exhausted and exports were restricted. Now there is still some time before the mine is exhausted. Get more good things from here.

No one would complain that they have a lot of things at home. Now is the time to spend money. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. The Japanese friends have always been friendly to the Qing Dynasty. In the past two years, there were still "lost" fishermen who drifted into the territory of the Qing Dynasty. It is not good to return the gift. I can't justify it.

The prince talked endlessly, without mentioning water control at all, but just used Shanxi merchants as an entry point to make their family, Khan Amado, pay more attention to overseas transactions.

Take it easy when earning money from your own people. You don’t need to earn money from foreigners. Foreign caravans never know how to restrain themselves when they come to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, they don’t need to restrain themselves when they send caravans outside.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll talk about it later. I have other things to do now." Kangxi was used to the prince's weird ideas from time to time. He got up and went to the desk to pull a pile of scrolls, beckoning the prince to come and have a look. "You are not young anymore, the third and fourth are waiting to get married, you as an elder brother can't make up your mind, the princess I chose for you is the daughter of Shi Wenbing from the Guerjia family, what do you think. "

Prince: ? ? ?

Before he could get down to business, why did he suddenly jump to the topic of the princess?

Having been single for so many years, he was a little nervous when he mentioned this suddenly.
