After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Sure enough, the capital city was lively for a while because of this "newspaper" that just came out. The people on the street were talking about it, and the small vendors were talking about it. Even the storyteller stopped telling the old stories, but said Such a new thing.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs printed these, but did not announce them to the outside world.So it can be seen how curious the people are about new things.

At the Guozijian, there was a leader, and the rest of the students immediately went to write an article as soon as they got this different call for papers.It's just that everyone hasn't delivered yet, and the Imperial College has set a deadline for the literary test, and a small competition has been created internally.

There is no limit to the style and the number of words, everyone is free to play.The master of the Imperial College serves as the judge, and the students also have the right to vote.Although the competition did not specify the specific rules, within three days, everyone has determined the champion and runner-up of this competition.

The good articles that were judged were posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the Imperial College.

But all literati have arrogance, and there is also the saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts since ancient times.Therefore, the defeated students are not reconciled, and feel that their talents should not be buried here, and it is worthless to make the articles they write public.Isn't it all written in this "newspaper"?Everyone can make a fuss.

However, the above only said that it would be collected, but did not say where to invest?

Because there was no clear explanation, some bold students actually put their articles in envelopes and left them outside the yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

There are those who take the lead, and naturally there are also those who follow suit.As a result, the students of the Guozijian seemed to have found their lost direction in unison, and threw their articles into the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion in different ways.

Such a large formation of students frightened Shun Tian Fu Yin.He thought that some major event had happened recently, and the people voted for the "Wanmin Letter" in different ways.

He didn't dare to delay, and reported the matter on the second day after the students delivered it collectively.

When Yinreng heard the news, he was quite embarrassed.Mistakes, mistakes, I just thought about how to solicit manuscripts, but I didn't think about how to arrange to accept them.

No matter how funny the process is, the end result is gratifying.

The students of Guozijian do have some real talents and practical work. Most of the articles they write are very practical, whether they criticize current problems or contribute solutions to problems.Especially one of them talked about the princes and nobles enclosing land in the suburbs of Beijing.

The whole writing is very bold, sharp and clear.It also emphasizes that people everywhere are reclaiming fertile land, and there are not many new fields in the entire Zhili area for reclaiming. Don't you know that this majestic emperor is so depraved, isn't it embarrassing?

So be sure to check.

The articles written by the students naturally aroused different discussions among the courtiers when the dynasty officially opened.In particular, this article about land enclosures has sparked the most war of words.

Kangxi even suspected that Suo'etu wrote a special article about this matter without waiting for the result after taking the booklet himself?But he quickly denied his guess.

As far as he knew, Suo'etu had hundreds of acres of fertile land near Miyun, and he was a householder of Yintian. How could he really ask for a strict investigation of Yintian?

He finally concluded that Suo Gaoertu's report on the whistleblower was true, and it was just incidental to ask for an order to investigate Yintian.Since it is not him, then this article naturally represents public opinion.

Yintian, the matter of enclosing the land, sooner or later, the people will have to give an explanation.But not now.

In Kangxi's view, the foundation of the entire imperial court is not stable now, and internal worries can be put aside for the time being, but there are still many external troubles.Now is the time to employ people again. Strict inspection at this time is tantamount to pushing people out.

So even if you want to give an explanation, you have to wait for Bai to serve Junggar.

Now that he had made up his mind, Kangxi didn't ask people to discuss this article, but lightly brought it up, and then asked the courtiers to discuss that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple colluded with officials to open up wasteland without permission.

This matter really caused an uproar in the court.The ministers were almost like-minded in suggesting a heavier punishment.

Kangxi immediately decreed: "The main offenders, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the minister of the Ministry of Rites, will have their official positions erased and sent to the frontier. The rest of the cooperating officials will have their positions erased and they will not be reused for life!"

Everyone said in unison: "The emperor is wise!"

It is impossible to intercede, and this criminal minister is usually ordinary.And the punishment is obviously to kill chickens and monkeys.Whoever begs for mercy, what if he is counted as an accomplice?

After this matter was finalized, Yinfeng understood why he, Khan Ama, suddenly agreed to try the court to distribute "newspapers". It turned out that he wanted to use this to divert the attention of the people.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Kangxi ask whether the newly emerging "newspaper" in Beijing and China could be tried nationwide.

The courtiers also realized that this is what you came up with.Of course, everyone is naturally curious about new things, so they unanimously agreed to find a few pilot projects in various provinces and promote them.

After this major event was settled, Kangxi still didn't talk about the matter of enclosing land and hiding fields, but talked about another matter.

At this time, it is the end of the first month of the 23rd year of Kangxi, and the year is completely over.Last year's previous experience should be summarized, and the financial plan for the new year should be started.

As early as the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after the early court was officially restored, the work summary report submitted by Yin Xin of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital reported two things.

One is that he discovered that the number of infants and young children in the capital has increased significantly in the past year.

A large population is a good thing. Nowadays, the rule that Manchus and Hans cannot intermarry is there, and there are various natural disasters.Under such circumstances, the population has increased, which shows that the credit for opening up wasteland is real.

Regardless of whether it is a normal year or not, the Han people are naturally not afraid of population decline, but the population of the Manchus has always been the most important matter for the royal family.

Some ministers even suggested that it is better to relax the restrictions on Manchu-Han intermarriage in order to ensure the population of Manchurians.But he was immediately reprimanded by other ministers, bluntly saying that the ancestors' rules should not be easily broken.

Nowadays, the population increase is really a good thing.Kangxi immediately ordered Xuan paper to ask Shuntian Prefecture Yin to check the number of Manchus and Hans in the capital.

Li Guangdi, standing among the officials, hesitated to speak.Secretly, should I remind the emperor not to investigate, if it is found that the increase is all Han Chinese, wouldn't it be... very shameless?

But he still held back the words.

Another thing is that due to the whole year of land reclamation last year, the capital was affected by it, and the price of food has dropped sharply recently.

The food price reduction is a good thing, which means that everyone can fill their stomachs.In the past, it took two pennies to buy a cake, but now one penny is enough.

However, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture also asked for instructions in the report. If it continues to fall like this, the food price will hurt the people, and indirectly cause everyone not to want to farm, what should be done?

What's more, in stark contrast to food prices, the prices of other materials are slowly rising.This is also an incidental indirect effect.Because the price of food has dropped, people don't have to worry about food. They want to enrich their material life with spare money, and then raise the prices of other materials.

The governor of Shuncheon also said in his work report that if it continues to rise like this, there is a high probability of inflation.In such a situation, timely adjustments must be made.

Therefore, in the early court of this day, apart from discussing how to deal with criminal officials who broke the law, it was also discussing how to solve the problems mentioned by Shuntian Fu Yin.

The problem is where it is, but how to adjust the price specifically, both civil and military officials in the court are worried.When Kangxi asked for opinions, the officials were like a gourd with its mouth sawn, and none of them dared to step forward to answer.

The imperial court can pay for food, at most it is the food prepared for the disaster at that time, and it is piled up in the warehouse for safety.But prices have been rising, but how to control it?Can't the imperial court forcefully order those merchants not to raise prices at will?

Besides, even if the imperial court makes a strong decree, will the merchants be happy?Merchants who open shops in the capital, do they have no backstage support behind them?

Seeing that all the courtiers were silent, Kangxi wanted to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs, but suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of money, but it couldn't monitor prices.

Because the atmosphere was really embarrassing, the morning court discussion had to be ignored at the end, and the court ended in a hurry.Just before the imperial court disbanded, Kangxi ordered every official in the Hall of Supreme Harmony who participated in the morning meeting today, no matter how big or small, to think carefully about how to alleviate this crisis.

After thinking about it, write a notebook, and hand it in within three days.

After the meeting adjourned, all the ministers walked out with bitter faces.It's too difficult for the emperor to behave like this, and regulating prices is not our specialty.If it doesn't work, the imperial court should print more banknotes and issue more money.

There are not a few people who think so.

After the dynasty was over, Yinreng bid farewell to Khan Ama and returned to Yuqing Palace.There is still an hour before noon, and there is still a class from the master.

As he grew older, the masters also arranged their own schedules.After the fifteenth day, his course was officially changed, and a master was fixed to attend the class every day.Of course, the length of the course depends on the length of the morning morning.

Today should be Xiong Cilu's turn to attend class.

Yinfeng silently rejoiced in his heart, it's great, Master Xiong can be distracted in class.Since the upgrade of the systematically arranged courses of various subjects, he has gradually felt the pressure of study.

Especially after mathematics class started to take college courses, such as advanced algebra and calculus, Yinfeng felt frustrated for the first time in this subject that he had always loved.

In addition, after the English course was replaced by Russian, he also felt that his tongue was not so sharp.

Russian is different from English, and some pronunciations need to be played with the tongue.

Yinrong himself hides in bed to practice secretly every night before going to sleep.But after practicing for half a month, he still couldn't flexibly pop the tongue out of his mouth.

While waiting for Master Xiong, the system was considering whether to do the questions or to practice, and the system talked about the rising prices in the capital that were discussed in the early court.

"Actually, if the government can find a way to suppress prices, it won't be a big deal."

"The crux of the problem now is that the government can't think of a solution. Merchants are chasing profits, so naturally they don't consider the impact of prices, and easily give up profits." Yinfeng replied absent-mindedly.

He made up his mind and was trying to solve an advanced algebra problem, so he could barely concentrate on chatting with the system.

"Your Highness said, what kind of people are these former merchants in the capital?"

"The left is just a minister's, or a prince's."

Yinfeng knew the rules of the capital, and the shops of princes and ministers could not be closed down at will.

He himself had ordered someone to open a shop in his previous life, but it was not in the capital, but far away in Guangdong and Guangxi.At that time, Khan Ama gave too little pocket money. In order to support his wife and children, he could only find a way in private.

"What if the imperial court doesn't intervene directly, but opens a shop to do business in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"What?" Yinfeng didn't respond for a moment.

The system turned into a human form in his mind, and he said calmly: "Anyway, it's all about business, why don't the imperial court also participate in it and sell some popular goods for takeaway. And the products are worse than other stores, and the prices are lower. There is such a Wumart Affected by cheap shops, don’t merchants take the initiative to lower prices in order to sell more?”

"This is to compete with the people for profit, Khan Ama will not agree." Yinfeng said in surprise.

"Aren't those ministers also fighting for the interests of the people? They are for themselves, Your Highness, you are for the court and the world. Such an obvious contrast, where the facts are, will your father not listen?"

"It's two different things." Yinfeng continued to shake his head.

A smile hung on the corner of the system's mouth, "That's the same thing. Instead of relying on businessmen's awareness and courtiers' fantasy, it's better for the court to do it by itself. In their later generations, this situation is called a state-owned enterprise."
