The Rebirth of the Abandoned Prince

Chapter 59 The First Imperial Merchant of the Qing Dynasty

Yinzhen has been in a happy mood for the past few days, and finally he is able to do business in an aboveboard manner.He has always had an extraordinary sense of attachment to yellow and white things. For some reason, he is full of energy.

When Kangxi saw the memorial presented by Yinreng, he didn't say anything, but quietly pondered whether what Yinreng said was really feasible.Looking at the ambitious Yinzhen, and Yinfeng's leisure after submitting the memorial, he found someone else who doubted whether this memorial was what Yinzhen said, and Yinfeng wrote it for him.

Guan Rongqi was a little puzzled as to why Yinreng brought up business reforms to Kangxi as soon as he came back. From ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce has never changed.Yinfeng's memorial is undoubtedly provoking the imperial power. If the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce slowly changes, then this change can be described as earth-shaking.

Just when Guan Rongqi thought that Yinreng would ignore the matter when he saw that Kangxi was indifferent, but he was wrong.Yinfeng presented the memorial again after a few days, and this time it was still vigorously telling about the unexpected changes that the business association brought to the Qing Dynasty.

Yinfeng, who was in the middle of beekeeping, knew Yinfeng's memorial, but just laughed. Kangxi would not agree with Yinfeng's reform.His heart was full of confidence, and for some reason, he felt a little gloating in his heart.He has already stayed in beekeeping, if Yinfeng also came here to be his company, I believe it must be a happy event.

Yinzhen walked back and forth in his dormitory, he was very supportive and agreed with Yinfeng's memorial, but it's not easy to do business if it really grows.Yinzhen spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and secretly opened a shop in the capital specializing in selling calligraphy and painting. He knew very well in his heart the profits brought by doing business, and he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"I still don't know what the second brother wants to do this time?" Yinzhi murmured to himself.He always thought that Yinfeng would not play such a memorial that shocked the court at these critical moments.

Kangxi never expressed support or opposition. Instead, he began to observe the reactions of the ministers in the court and the central government, as well as his elder brothers who had been silent.Speaking of which, Yinfeng was not at all surprised that Kangxi didn't say anything, and if he didn't say anything, it meant that there was a high chance of agreeing.

Speaking of it, Kangxi has always been like this. He didn't say anything at first, let the ministers below guess his mind, and wanted to see what they, the elder brothers, were going to do.Yinfeng only felt that the longer Kangxi thought about it, the better it would be for him.To create the No. [-] imperial merchant in the Qing Dynasty, this task will definitely be handed over to Yinzhen, who has always had a strong sense of attachment to yellow and white things.

And now that the Eight Banners are being rectified, Yinfeng guessed that Kangxi wanted Yinxiang to take care of them.Although Yinxiang has not been sealed yet, Kangxi really treats him very differently.Yinxiang is bold and upright by nature, besides, he is the youngest son of Kangxi, and Kangxi has almost no demands on him.

Yinxiang's favorite thing is riding and shooting. He really enjoys the feeling of galloping fast horses.He has never been to the battlefield when he was young, but occasionally he heard Yinfeng talking about the previous expeditions, and his heart was full of yearning.One day, he will always go to the battlefield with those soldiers to defend his home and country.

In fact, Yinxiang is very supportive of Yinrong's proposal. Anyway, Yinzhen loves to do business for 10 minutes.It is not a bad thing for Yinzhen to get what he wanted this time. He doesn't know if Kangxi will agree to Yinfeng's proposal, but no matter what, he will not step on it at this time.

And Yinzhen and Yinhu, who were rectifying these corrupt officials along the Yellow River, knew that it had been a month since Yinreng submitted a memorial to Kangxi, and they couldn't hear a little bit of news here.However, considering that Kangxi hadn't thought about whether to accept Yinfeng's proposal for so long, they knew that there must be something to it.

Especially when Yinhu heard this memorial from Yinrong, it was tailor-made for Yinhu.If he didn't know that Yinzhen and Yinfeng didn't have much contact, he would think that Yinzhen was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he disdained Yinfeng while trying his best to please Yinfeng.

There were different opinions on civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, and in Yinreng's view, none of them mattered. The most important thing was whether Kangxi agreed or not in the end.He could vaguely feel that Kangxi supported his proposal, but Kangxi had more things to consider than him, so it was normal for him not to reply for a while.

At this time, Yinreng proposed to build the No. [-] imperial merchant in the Qing Dynasty, and still wanted to alleviate the problem of the emptiness of the Qing Dynasty treasury.The emptiness of the Qing treasury is no longer a matter of a day or two. The treasury is empty every year, but there is no way to increase taxes.After all, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and the court has no way to always collect taxes from the people.

According to what he said, building the No. [-] Royal Merchant will not only greatly reduce the pressure on the empty warehouse, but also invest the income in various aspects of construction.Moreover, the imperial merchants he mentioned included salt under the control of the entire imperial court.It can also manage import and export trade, and take silk brocades and famous paintings abroad for trading.

Hearing this proposal at first, he was really angry, but after Kangxi thought about it carefully, he found that Yinfeng's words were not unreasonable.First, it can alleviate the urgent need, and second, in the long run, it will be beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.Therefore, he did not agree with Yinfeng's memorial, but he did not object either.He just wanted to see what would happen to Yinfeng, and as expected, the second memorial explained the operation and management of the Imperial Business in more detail, and it also had advantages.At the same time, Yinfeng recommended Yinzhen to take full charge of the imperial merchant, which Kangxi did not expect.

Yinzhen has always known that he loves yellow and white things, but Yinfeng recommends him so boldly, Kangxi really doesn't understand what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.The relationship between Yinzhen and Yinreng has always been mediocre, and he also thought that this time Yinreng would recommend his own people, but it turned out not to be the case.

In fact, Yinfeng had his considerations in the early morning. If his people were drawn in, it would undoubtedly greatly promote the operation of the imperial business, but he didn't want it to be so.He proposed to build the No. [-] imperial merchant in the Qing Dynasty, but he did not intend to intervene.He deals with foreigners every year, and he knows very well that his family will not be able to eat big cakes. It would be a pleasure if more people make the most of the money of foreigners.

Nearly ten days later, Kangxi finally agreed to Yinfeng's proposal to build the No. [-] imperial merchant in the Qing Dynasty.

Immediately, the entire court began to discuss, many people are looking at what is the No. [-] imperial merchant in the Qing Dynasty, although it is a business, but what is it operating?

And Yinfeng, Yinfeng and Yin were summoned by Kangxi.Yinfeng probably knew that Kangxi wanted Yinzhen and Yin to be in charge at the same time.Speaking of it, Yinzhen alone is enough, but Yin always likes to be by Yinzhen's side, so Kangxi's arrangement is understandable.

When Yinzhen and Yin saw Yinfeng, they respected Yinfeng even more than usual. Yinfeng knew the careful thoughts of Yinzhen and Yin, and he didn't reveal it. How they get along with each other on weekdays is how they get along now, and he didn't tell them. The idea of ​​pulling relationships.After all, his proposal is just to make the Qing treasury have a surplus, not to keep it empty.

"The prince's proposal, I have approved it." Kangxi planned to get into the topic directly from the beginning, he didn't need to think so much, and directly handed it over to Yinzhen and Yin.

"Old Ninth, Old Ten, you two are responsible for this matter." Kangxi thought for a while and asked: "If you two have any problems, just go to the Crown Prince."

"Yes." Both Yinzhen and Yin were very happy, with bright smiles, especially Yinzhen, finally got his wish.He is really not very interested in the way of being an official. Instead, it is best to let him touch the white gold.Although the money of the first emperor merchant must go to the national treasury, both Yinzhen and Yin just think about it and feel happy.

"As for the matter of the Eight Banners, old nine and ten, you should hand over to Thirteen. For the matter of the Eight Banners, let Thirteen take full responsibility for the follow-up." Of course, Kangxi will not forget to rectify the Eight Banners, and finally made such great efforts The rectification has achieved results, and it is impossible for him not to continue to rectify.With such a rare change in rectifying the ethos of the Eight Banners, he will continue to intensify his efforts to suppress those unhealthy tendencies.

"Yes." Both Yinzhen and Yin are eager to try, they both know the way of being an official, and they don't have any ideas about the tortuous routines, but people can't help themselves in the arena.Both of them were a little unhappy when they were asked to rectify the Eight Banners, but now it is different.

Yinfeng stayed, he knew that Kangxi still had something to say to him.And Yinzhen and Yin looked at him with a look of self-seeking, thinking that Kangxi must have often taught them both on weekdays, and it was not easy to stay alone.It's not that he has never been reprimanded by Kangxi, but not many times. He knows that Kangxi is showing mercy to him.

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Huang Ama, Baocheng knows that you will agree to let Lao Jiu take care of this matter. He is the only one!"

"Baocheng, you have to keep an eye on the old nine and eleven o'clock, and tell them not to be too reckless in doing things, listen to the opinions of other ministers, and don't be independent." Kangxi sighed, why didn't he know that only Among them, Yinzhen is the most suitable to manage the imperial merchants.In addition to Yinzhen's preference for yellow and white things, there are also the power of the Guo Luoluo clan behind him and the Niuhulu clan behind Yin.

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Huang Ama. The ninth and the tenth are not children anymore, they know what they are doing. On the contrary, Huang Ama wants to tell Shisan that the eight banners are complicated. , don't let Thirteen fall in."

Kangxi smiled and said nothing, he made up his mind to take this opportunity to exercise Yinxiang well, don't always look like a bohemian, when he should look like a prince, he should still have it.It is because of the intricate relationship that the Eight Banners have been delayed until today to achieve some success in rectification.

The preparations for the No. [-] Imperial Merchant of the Qing Dynasty began soon, and both Yinzhen and Yin planned to flex their muscles.Only Yinfeng knew that it was not that simple.If you want to completely monopolize the entire Daqing salt business, it will not be easy to sort out those salt merchants colluding with government and businessmen.

Yinfeng also asked Nalan Hengtai to keep an eye on the situation, he didn't want any unexpected situation.He put his mind on the two countries of England and France. Although there seems to be no change now, it's just that it looks like that's all.From the matter of drugs, he knew that England and France were both ambitious and wanted to swallow the Qing Dynasty, but he wanted to see who swallowed whom?
