The crown prince never expected that eating melons and eating melons would end up on his own head. He is still young, and Khan Ama can keep him for a few more years, and he won't get married so early. Mama don't worry about him, worry about the future Yinzhen Yinzhi, it's really not good, it's okay to worry about Yinqi.

That boy Yinqi has caused troubles again recently, and he almost quit the teacher who gave them lectures. Mama, you should care about Yinqi, and your grandson will definitely not be jealous.

The prince is in a bad mood, like a big girl who is afraid of getting married, she can even say that she wants to stay with Khan Ama for a few more years. He is a prince, not a princess, so why not stay? Don't delay his living in Yuqing Palace, okay?

Yinzhen was speechless listening to the prince's nonsense, a little doubting whether this person is suitable to be an emperor, the old ghost who has been crooked for hundreds of years, can he really get back?

The prince doesn't care what the fourth child is thinking, he only knows that he has to hide from the Compassionate Peace Palace recently, and come back when the old lady forgets about marrying a wife.

He is indeed very busy in the future. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the efficiency of paving the road has plummeted. If he does not find ways to improve his work efficiency, he will really not be able to catch up with the tour outside the fortress.

The cement factory was built not far from Liulichang. Chang Ning went to inspect it every day. The craftsmen inside did not dare to be lazy. The cement could be supplied, and materials such as sand, gravel, water, etc. were nearby. For trucks, there is almost no problem with load bearing.

At least there will be no problems until the Qing Dynasty leaps to an industrialized society.

There are enough materials to pave the road, but there is not enough manpower. The prince thought hard for several days, and finally decided to play a big one. The people of the Eight Banners multiply, and there are more and more people who have nothing to do. It's only natural to find some work for these people.

The prince was full of confidence when he thought of the idea, but when he really wanted to discuss it with his family, Khan Ama, he felt that he couldn't be so hasty. He said that he couldn't do such a big matter, and he had to bring the boss and fifth uncle together.

It's really not that he is timid, but a system problem. The Eight Banners were originally a military organization, and their ancestors didn't expect to be able to build such a large family business. There are not many people in the tribe. People, men, women and children can go to the battlefield when necessary, and their combat effectiveness is extremely powerful, but this kind of system can be put in the army, and the whole people can do it

That's not going to work.

There are more and more children of the Eight Banners, but the army does not need so many people, but the banner men are destined to serve as soldiers from birth, and they are supported by the imperial court. Can't bear it.

When later generations mentioned the Eight Banners, all they could think of were those who smoked guns, gambled, cockfighted, walked the dog, played with birds, and sat in teahouses and baths. In fact, the Eight Banners in the late dynasty also It is indeed that bear look, but it cannot ignore the previous combat effectiveness of this group.

What caused the situation in later generations is not only a problem of bannermen, but also a problem of the system. The Eight Banners system stipulates that bannermen are not allowed to leave the station and cannot make a living by themselves. Those who can serve as soldiers still have a serious job. Or just do nothing.

Learning to farm from farmers will be ridiculed, learning to run from businessmen will be ridiculed, and doing everything on your own will be laughed at. They are all young and energetic guys. , it’s not that he can’t even get on a serious errand, so he gradually degenerated into the well-known situation.

The rules are the rules passed down from the ancestors. Even if they want to keep pace with the times, the emperor has to do it himself. Khan Ama is already a mature emperor, and he must understand the principle of "take the essence and discard the dross".

Yinti just got married and was mixing oil with Fujin Mili. Their family Khan Ama and the prince had a quarrel, so he was very generous to give him a vacation. He didn't have to do anything every day. All the work is handed over to the prince.

Although some people in the court speculated whether he had offended Khan Ama and was dismissed from his post as soon as he got married, but he was so clever, how could he fail to see Khan Ama's real intentions?

He has a good relationship with Han Ama. Those who think wildly are sick. They don’t care about their own family affairs. They have nothing to worry about the relationship between their father and son. If they are in a hurry, they go to the cement factory to move cement. people.

After a few days of leisure, the elder brother was dragged by the crown prince to the imperial study, and Chang Ning, who had not understood what was going on with him, said, "Uncle Wu, what does the crown prince want to do?"

"I don't know, I don't understand it too well, but I feel it's a good thing." Chang Ning is very confident in this nephew who can make troubles. The previous troubles have been very effective, although he has not yet

Find out what the reserve army is, but this strange idea should also solve a big problem for the court.

Kangxi looked at the three people who came hand in hand, his expression remained unchanged after listening to the prince's words, but he glanced at Yinti and Chang Ning indifferently, "Is this what you three discussed?"

Chang Ning rubbed his head, "Brother Huang really overestimated my younger brother. My younger brother is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, so I don't have time to think about it. Besides, my younger brother doesn't have the brains to think of such a good idea."

"Uncle Wu is right." Yinti replied subconsciously, but Chang Ning raised his brows and stared at him, realizing that he couldn't say that, so he quickly changed his words, "My son said, my son didn't have the brains to come up with such a good idea. "

Chang Ning: ...

Prince:  …

Kangxi: ...

Come on, I see you're out of your mind.

Chang Ning gave his eldest nephew an indescribable look, and didn't care about the kid saying that his brain is not working well. No matter how bad his brain is, he is much better than this idiot.

Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand and stood up, and asked Liang Jiugong to take out all the people serving in the study. When only two sons and a younger brother were left in front of him, he sighed and said, "I want to take back the right to be the master of the Eight Banners. You should have seen it too."

Yinti raised his head in a daze, and just about to say that he didn't notice it, the prince quickly stepped forward, patted his arm at the same time, and then replied seriously, "Huihan Ama, you can see it." gone."

"The owner of the banner is called the master by the people under the banner, and this master is not for nothing. Now there are already people under the banner who have problems eating and drinking. The people under the banner can't survive. The banner owner has to be responsible for finding a livelihood for them." Kangxi said lightly. Talking about the bad things in the Eight Banners, looking at the two sons whose expressions were getting dull, finally felt like an Ama.

No matter how many crooked ideas Baocheng has, why can't he rely on his Ama at the critical moment?

There are more and more people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. In many families, only the eldest son can fill in the vacancies. The other sons have no jobs to do.

He has gradually suppressed the Eight Banners over the years and did not do it very covertly. A large part of the reason why he has not been embarrassing by the iron hat prince is that the banner is mainly responsible for the livelihood of the people under the banner. Now that the Eight Banners have more and more people, they cannot support There are so many people alive.

Of course, the most important reason is that he is a good emperor, Kang

Emperor Xi thought so.

Now it’s not like before, there is no place for them to thresh grain and grass. Those tribes on the grassland are better off living in the capital. They are used to a good life in the capital. If they go back to live the life of their ancestors outside the customs, the banner will definitely complain. There is going to be a big mess.

Needless to say, Baocheng's idea is quite good.

The prince was very confident in his own ideas, but his family's Khan Ama's tone was too heavy, which made him doubt himself a little.

He didn't have time to discuss with the fourth brother this time, and he hurriedly dragged the fifth uncle and elder brother over without coming up with any regulations. Could it be that after so many years of drifting, his level of handling government affairs has dropped to the point where he can't do things without the fourth brother? the point?

No, although he is happy to let the fourth brother work more, it doesn't mean that he can accept that he is a fool who can't do anything well.

If he is an idiot, how will he establish his brother's majesty in front of his younger brothers in the future?

The prince was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, "Ama Khan, is it true that the Eight Banners who are at home can't be allowed to work? The rule is that the dead are alive, and the living can't be trapped to death by the dead rules."

Khan Ama, look at your son's sincere eyes and say something!

Kangxi patted his son who was so nervous that his lips were trembling, and replied refreshedly, "This idea is okay, Baocheng has a heart."

Prince: ? ? ?

You think it’s okay, you were scaring people just now!

What Ama is this!

Kangxi was very satisfied with his son's reaction. He used to be so angry with this kid that he lost his mind. Finally, it was his turn to see this kid change his face. There must be some communication between father and son to cultivate the relationship. "Liang Jiugong, Chuanyu Prince enters the palace."

The eunuchs in the palace seem to be born with the skills of being on call. They retreat outside when they are not needed, but they can appear immediately when they are needed, as if they have not gone out and stayed by their side.

The crown prince looked at Mr. Liang who was coming and going faster, and quietly complained in his heart. After Yinti came over, he only said one sentence. Chang Ning, who had nothing to do next to him, winked at the prince and asked if he could withdraw.

Khan Ama told the second uncle to enter the palace, and the next thing should be out of their hands, he came out in a hurry, and Fujin should be worried if he went back late.

The crown prince shook his head and told him not to be impatient. A good man has ambitions everywhere. Why is he still so serious about his career when his eldest brother is married?

Don't care, a bald brother in his teens doesn't show off, and a bald brother in his twenties should be rejected by his sister-in-law. What a great opportunity to make contributions, why doesn't this person know how to fight for it?

Kangxi put down the pen, glanced at the two sons who were making small movements under his nose, and said with a slight smile. "You two don't flirt with each other, Liang Jiugong, take the crown prince and elder brother to the compartment, and refreshments and tea will be served."

"Brother Huang, brother Huang, where is my brother?" Chang Ning watched his nephew go to the cubicle for tea and snacks, envious that he wanted to go too, "Brother Huang, my brother can't help you here, how about..."

"Listen here honestly. If you keep fooling around like this, I will transfer you to Yakesa to fight against Lao Maozi." As soon as the crown prince and Yinti left, Kangxi's face instantly became serious. This kid didn't go to the house for three days. If you give him some color, he can open a dyeing workshop, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't get scolded for a day.

Chang Ning swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach, and stood in place cowardly, not daring to move.

In fact, the compartment was also arranged as a small study room. The crown prince and Yinti sat on the small table next to the bookshelf, glanced at the books on the bookshelf, and then lowered their voices and whispered after Liang Jiugong went out.

The partition is not soundproof, the two of them can clearly hear the movement of the imperial study room here, and by the same token, the people in the imperial study room can easily hear their words.

Yinti ate a piece of snack, poked the Prince's arm and asked in a low voice, "I didn't quite understand what you just said about the reserve army, please explain it carefully."

"Wait for me to drink some water." The prince waved his hands, and after moistening his throat, he began his small science class.

If he guessed right, Khan Ama asked the second uncle to come over to count the number of people under the banner, to see how many people have errands, and how many people have no errands to live by playing the autumn wind. The population booklets of each banner are at the banner owner. Fifth Uncle is not qualified for this kind of thing, Second Uncle needs to go there.

The reserve army he mentioned just now was the army. In fact, he originally planned to form another construction team, but thinking of the sensitivity of the Eight Banners nobles to this kind of thing, he temporarily changed his name to the reserve army.

Anyway, no matter what the name is, as long as it can work, it can be called the Earth Guard.

Those idle Eight Banners children have nothing to do in the capital. The new army formed by the imperial court is to find a way out for them. When fighting the flood, not only the people but also the officers and soldiers went to the embankment to rescue the disaster. Their reserve army is always ready for the battlefield. Get ready, what's up with doing physical work instead of training, those old men

I am used to fighting cocks and walking dogs, how can I survive the training without training my physical strength first? .

Listening to the prince's plausible explanation, Yinti always felt that something was wrong, "Prince, don't you think this reserve army sounds like hard labor?"

He heard that the slaves who were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda to serve as slaves to armored men would do these things after they arrived in Ninggu Pagoda, open up wasteland and land, dig mountains and rocks, build bridges and roads, cut trees and build houses... What hard work Why, the prince asked the pampered Eight Banners to build roads, always thinking that after the news spread, scolding him would be all over the sky.

"This is also a problem." The prince squeezed his chin. It is estimated that this is the most troublesome thing for their family Khan Ama. The corvee has not been abolished yet, and the combination of land tax and small labor is something that happens after the fourth child is allocated to the mu. At present, the people recruited to pave the road are the common people who came to serve.

Even though it was said at the beginning that wages would be paid by the day, and there would be additional bonuses if the progress was fast, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were still civilians serving in the army, but the court was in a hurry to catch up with the progress, so rewards were issued every day.

Road construction is not a fatal thing like flood fighting and disaster relief. In this kind of fast or slow work, if those old men and ordinary people are really required to work together, they will probably be in trouble.

This is a big matter, and we have to think about it in the long run, but time waits for no one, so we can only play a little bit carefully.

The crown prince squinted his eyes, knocked on the table and nodded, thinking that it was time to preemptively settle the public opinion before doing business. As long as he stands on the moral high ground, the one who impeaches him for absurdity is a bad person.

In the era without the Internet, the usefulness of paper media is undoubted. The government will regularly publish the mansion newspaper, but it is written on the important affairs of the court. Ordinary people will not pay attention to these, mainly because they will not understand them.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. It is said that the former dynasty and the former dynasty had something called "tabloids". Different regions have different tabloids, and most of them are rural rumors or legends , rarely involved in government affairs, and sold extremely popular among the people.

These "tabloids" have no choice but to dare not involve the government. If the important affairs of the court are written in a straightforward and interesting way, the common people's interest in these things will not be lower than the love story of a scholar and an orphan girl. It's just that some unreliable seniors want to attract People's attention, deliberately fabricating some things that didn't happen, what's more, they will leak the secrets of the court and delay the major events. In the end, the organizer will go to jail and tell the successors at a painful price. can not touch.

Today is different from the past. There are many talents in Zhan Shifu, all of whom are good writers. It is no problem to support a newspaper. As long as he has public opinion in his hands, will he worry about someone impeaching him?

Heh, when the newspaper is completed, he will let those pampered Eight Banners scramble to help him with the infrastructure construction.
