With this special exercise of the system, Yinfeng understood what is called the gap.In addition, he really lacked raw materials, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to suspend the research on the firecracker.

Now that he has temporarily given up on this matter, he has no choice but to continue to listen to politics and study honestly.

The fighting on the front line has reached a stalemate.

Fei Yanggu sent a small group of troops to test it a few more times, and found that Junggar was getting more and more cunning. Several attempts to engage in combat failed to achieve his goal, so he had to give up temporarily and wait for a new order.

In late mid-winter, the focus of the early dynasty gradually shifted from chores to military matters.The courtiers were divided into different factions around the discussion of whether the army would continue to be stationed in the Yumen area.

Shang Zhezi said that the army should be withdrawn temporarily, and the number of people who proposed to increase troops to continue to garrison was equal to each other. Neither of the two sides could persuade the other.Every time they refute each other in the court, it is so lively that they can fight at any time.

Yinfeng really wanted to suggest that Khan Ama bring his troops back first.

He thinks it's best to wait until next year, after Dai Zi's new firearm is researched, and then send troops to start a new war with Junggar.But he knew that before, his performance had repeatedly aroused his suspicion, so now he can only continue to be a decoration in the early court and dare not speak freely.

The courtiers were arguing too much, and Yinfeng became more and more bored.After counting, he will be 12 years old next year. I thought that as soon as the new year passed, his masters would almost ask for an order for him to officially participate in the government.

Yinfeng had some expectations in his heart.

After being a vase in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for so long, I finally have the right to speak.At that time, he will be able to use the right to speak as a bargaining chip, trying to find a way to completely win Mingzhu to his side.

At the same time, we must learn a lesson, and we must never let him Khan Ama know that he is eager to train his own team.Be sure to have a little actual attack before doing other actions.

After training your own team, follow the system and find a way to allocate all the land outside the Tahan Ama, so that the people will become rich first.When the common people have money in their hands and the Qing Dynasty has economic strength, he will consider how to make all the weapons demonstrated by the system.

Thinking of being able to put those things on the foreheads of foreigners who bullied the Qing Dynasty in the future, Yinfeng's eyes flashed with excitement.

Mingzhu who was standing below noticed his expression and cast a concerned gaze directly.

Yinfeng's expression froze, and he restrained his excitement as if nothing had happened.He smiled slightly at Mingzhu, then lowered his head.

Angry, how could this old fox be so sharp.

When the courtiers talked about dry mouth, Kangxi also found it very annoying.After simply ordering everyone to shut up, he directly issued an order to send Suo'etu to the front line to supervise the army.

Suo'etu was born in the military, and he also has some experience in leading the army, so it is understandable to send him to supervise the army.No matter whether the courtiers are close to him or far away, they have no objection.

With this will, Yinfeng realized almost immediately, maybe he still has a chance to do the firecracker thing.

Only the system was completely speechless.Could it be that the excitement was too much before, so this Highness doesn't plan to give up no matter how exciting it is?

Before Suo'etu packed up and set off, he went to the palace to thank him.

After meeting Kangxi in Qianqing Palace, he hesitated for a while, but still asked for another order, thinking of going to Yuqing Palace to see the crown prince as a farewell before joining the war.

Over the years, Suo'etu has gradually aged, and his temples are obviously weathered.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi was suddenly moved.

Since the queen mother's birthday that year, the prince didn't know what he had said to Suo'etu. He who had been extremely dependent on the prince's power had learned to actively avoid suspicion, and became more and more estranged with the prince.

Seeing that Suo'etu is not complacent about his meritorious service, let alone bullying others with his meritorious service, and is becoming more and more sensible, Kangxi decided to give him a face and let the prince see him off in person.

Suo'etu thanked Yinfeng for his kindness, and went to Yuqing Palace to see Yinreng.

After he bowed down, Yinfeng personally helped him up, "Uncle, the frontier is bitterly cold, bring more thick clothes, you must take care of yourself."

Suo'etu said solemnly: "Thank you, Prince!"

He understood that the prince had deliberately distanced himself from him in order to avoid suspicion.But through these two caring words, he could hear that His Highness always had his place in his heart, and he hadn't completely forgotten that they were blood relatives.

After Yinreng expressed his concern, he asked Suo'etu to sit down, and then asked his servants to bring tea, before he started to ask about the business: "Uncle, I'm going to Yumen now, have you thought about which way to go?"

Although Suo'etu was sitting, his upper body was still slightly bowed, and instead of serving tea, he said with a smile, "The emperor just told the old minister that he must enter Gansu from the Mongolian border."

"From Mongolia to Gansu?" Yinfeng raised his eyebrows, "There is an official route from Zhili to Gansu. If my uncle brings a small number of people, he can get there in a few days. I deliberately detoured Mongolia, but there is something special?"

Mongolia has a vast territory, and it takes at least half a month away from Usu Yali Terrace.By detour from Zhili, the distance is more than doubled.

Suo'etu took a sip of hot tea, "The emperor probably asked the old minister to investigate, what is the attitude of the various Mongolian tribes now."

Only 49 soldiers of the Qing army fought against Junggar this time.The Mongolian [-]th Banner did not send a single person to the battle.

Moreover, the Qing army was defeated by Junggar in this battle.

The emperor ordered him to detour to Mongolia at this time, maybe he didn't mean to test the Mongolian prince.

Yinfeng put on a smiling face, "Will Uncle stay in Mongolia for a few more days?"

Isn't this just dozing off and someone gave me a pillow?The raw materials he wants may be able to get it directly.

Suo'etu put down the teacup and said respectfully: "The emperor's intention is to let the old minister stay with Prince Horqin for a few more days."

"Oh?" Yinfeng smiled even brighter, "Since that's the case, there's only one thing I want to ask my uncle to do by the way."

"If you have anything to say, Your Highness, you are such an old minister."

When he said that, Yinfeng didn't intend to be polite to him, "There are sulfur mines in Mongolia. When my uncle lives in the Horqin tribe, can you find a time to send someone to mine some for Gu?"

"Sulphur?" Suo'etu frowned, "Does the emperor know about this?"

He really couldn't think of the use of His Highness for sulfur, as far as he knew, that thing was poisonous.

Yinfeng sat closer to Suo'etu, "This is the difficulty. Uncle, you must help Gu keep the secret, and you must not let Khan Ama know."

Suo'etu was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, it is not difficult to send people to pick them. Even if there is no such errand, as long as Your Highness orders you, it is fine for the old minister to send people there immediately. But the smell of sulfur is generally difficult to hide. Even the old minister Find someone to transport it back to the capital, how can I bring it to His Highness in the palace?"

Yinfeng had already thought about it.He lowered his voice and said, "Don't bring it into the palace, it will be placed in your mansion when the time comes."

"Then..." Suo'etu asked suspiciously, "Your Highness wants the old minister to help you deal with these?"

Yinreng leaned over and looked outside, waved Huaiqing and the others to stand further away, then approached Suo'etu and said, "Ama Khan does not make an order, I don't know how long the army will stay in the Yumen area. It's almost the New Year, you This trip is only for the military governor, Khan Ama will definitely not let you celebrate the new year in the army."

Suo'etu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement. This was natural, and he knew it in his heart.

Just about to ask what's next, Yinfeng said again: "A year ago, Khan Ama will issue an order to announce your return. After you return to Beijing, don't reply to the order in person. Just say that the journey is difficult, and you accidentally got infected. Wind and cold. When the time comes, I will ask the order to come to visit the sick, and I will put it in the carriage and bring it back."

Suo'etu's face twitched slightly when he heard that Yinfeng asked him to pretend to be sick.

"What's wrong?" Yinfeng looked him up and down, "Is it difficult to pretend to be sick?"

No, he remembered that Suo'etu was very good at pretending to be sick in his previous life.

"Your Highness, who taught you this? Is it the old Mingzhu?" Suo'er asked cautiously.

Seeing that he still couldn't readily agree, Yinreng quickly ran out of patience.He simply used his identity to directly threaten: "You don't care who taught it, just say that you can do it alone?"

Suo'etu bowed helplessly, "Alright, alright, don't be angry, Your Highness, the old minister will definitely help you."

After all, they have been estranged for several years. In the past, every time we met at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, His Highness always acted like a prince.He didn't know that His Highness had such a childish temper in private.

When Yinreng heard that he agreed, he put on his smiling face again, and pushed the pastry towards him, "Uncle is going to the frontier soon, so it's better to eat something strong."

Suo'etu is in a very complicated mood, Your Highness, are you really being spoiled by that old Mingzhu?

If he knew about the existence of a system, he would definitely be able to hear the sentence: "You think too much, your Highness is self-taught."

After bidding farewell to Yuqing Palace, Suo'etu took people away the next day.

Before setting off, Yinreng took Khan Ama's order and went out of the palace to see him off.

Suo'etu's mood was very complicated, because he heard his highness who had followed him for many years say solemnly: "Uncle, don't forget, you must pretend to be sick when you come back, so that you won't be discovered by Han Ama."

The road to the expedition seems to be a little more difficult than before.

After seeing him off, Yinreng went back to the palace to return the decree to Khan Ama.

Kangxi is convening a meeting with the servants of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War to hear what preparations they have made to ensure the food and grass of the army fighting outside.

"Long live the report, food and grass are still being collected from Henan, Shandong and other places, and the food and grass in the next two months will be fine. The armor and cotton coats needed by the sergeants are also stepping up people to buy."

"Your Majesty, I have received an urgent report from the frontier. The number of weapons damaged by the soldiers is quite large. Even if all the craftsmen are ordered to rush to work, it will take half a month to replace them all."

"The Ministry of War is still recruiting troops to supplement the lack of troops in the frontier. Not only in the capital, but I have sent people to notify other prefectures to post recruitment notices at the gates of the government offices."

After the three servants finished their reports, Kangxi nodded and asked again: "Is the treasury enough money now?"

The servant of the household department suddenly felt bitter, "Reporting to the emperor, the current surplus in the treasury account may not be able to last for too long..."

Kangxi was puzzled, "The commercial tax collected by the imperial court this year has increased compared to last year, and the Royal Supply and Marketing Cooperative established also has a surplus. Why is there such a big gap?"

The servant of the household department handed over the account book that had been prepared long ago, "Please check the emperor clearly, the account is exactly the same. However, compared with the expenses used by the army, the entry into the account is really worse..."

When he finished speaking, his voice became lower and lower.

Kangxi's heart sank suddenly. Sure enough, if the war in the northwest did not end quickly, it would continue to drag on, and the training of the navy by Yao Qisheng in Fujian in the south would not stop. The two major events were carried out at the same time, and the cost was too high.
