Chapter 115: Come to discuss politics at night (2)

Zeng Guofan read the imperial edict silently. Seeing the salary one, he couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, I think that there is something wrong with the salary one in the sutra."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"... It is not advisable to use the navy as a major plan to protect the country's power. However, when our Qing Dynasty navy was founded, the salary was not sufficient and could not be cited. However, the soldiers and soldiers of the warships were experiencing winds and waves all year round, and were extremely hard-working, which was very different from the green camp and water and land situation. I must not miss the extra plan and plan... and divide them by 100% by 100% by 4, and the body of the official position depends on the size of the official position; the salary of the ship is six, and the salary of the ship is determined by the size of the ship." Zeng Guofan read it first. The words in the imperial edict said, "This is certainly the emperor's holy heart is pity for soldiers and pays them with a generous salary. But I think that in order to make things simple, I can cut off the items of "nourishment, food, vegetables, candles, red paper, case clothes, horses and other items, and add the above several types to the salary and public expenses, so as to avoid the disadvantages of opening the door of bribery when the old green camp is distributed in the army, and when the salary is distributed, it is not only noisy and inefficient, but also the disadvantages of opening the door of corruption and bribery."

The emperor nodded and smiled, "It's right. Just do it like this! When you copy it a while, remember to write down what Zeng Guofan said."

Several monarchs and ministers gathered their thoughts and spent a night to finally sort out the text of the "Beayang Navy Charter". The emperor smiled with satisfaction and stretched out his body, "Wenxiang, you have worked hard all night. I'll let you scream today. Let's go back to the house to rest first."

"The slave dares not. The slave fails to share the worries of the emperor and feels guilty in his heart. Now the emperor is sympathetic to the old slave and lets the slave..."

"Okay, I'm filial to me, and I won't be in this moment. Go down and wait until tomorrow to get in again."

Seeing the emperor repeatedly comforting and comforting, Wen Xiang no longer insisted. This night, the old man was so tired that his whole body was sore, and he really couldn't hold on. "Then, I'll go to rest first and come to the imperial court to serve the errand tomorrow." After that, he touched his head again, turned around and went out.

In April, there is still a certain temperature difference between day and night. The people around me are fine, but the emperor was trembling and started a cold war, "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No. Once I stay up late, I will feel chilled all over." He said, "If you don't talk about him, Shen Baozhen?"

"I'm here."

"Before the construction of the Naval Academy in Jiangning City is completed, you can go to Shandong and Liaoning coastal areas. I think that in addition to the Naval and Naval General Administration in Weihai, Shandong, Lushun also needs to build corresponding offices. I thought a lot this night. There is only one Naval Academy and several empty spaces like Naval Offices, which will not work anyway. The court wants to send a member to be the Minister of the Navy and the General Leadership. Let Dun and Wang Yixun take up the position. Let you and... Yuan Jiasan serve as the assistant minister, with your character, Yuan Jiasan's talent and knowledge complement each other. I think that although Lao Wu didn't read much, he was still able to handle such errands with his intelligence."

"As for the Navy Office's planning, Zeng Guofan, Yung Wing, Rong Lu, you three, I have other options for Zeng Guofan. Yung Wing and Rong Lu, and you still have to join the General Administration's office, so you don't have to participate."

The three people naturally responded to it. He also said, "Zeng Guofan, I think that the establishment of the Naval Academy must be handled by you in person. However, the school is not just a place to teach children. Unlike other places, the navy has cultivated the sea surface without strong and sophisticated experience in sea boat driving. It is absolutely impossible to hand over a giant ship of tens of millions of tons into their hands. Therefore, after entering the hospital, the children should be arranged to go to the ship and to the Anqing Shipyard to learn and understand the various techniques of boat driving. They may not have to participate in it personally in the future, but they cannot have nothing in their hearts. Do you understand what I said?"

"I understand that although each of the warships and gunboats performs their duties, as the leaders, they must be aware of everything to control the overall situation."

"That's the truth." He said, "So, in addition to the text professor, the institute also has to set up a number of disciplines such as navigation, astronomy, geography, geometry, algebra, flat arc, triangle, re-learning, calculus, driving, wind control, measurement, and torpedo release; those who study wheels will be taught arithmetics, geometry, triangulation, algebra will be taught the physics, steamship, steam engine drawing, machine drawing, machine real art; those who study art of artillery manipulation will be taught the art of war, military weapons and artillery.

Algorithm surveying and mapping are all required to complete all kinds of different studies in five years before graduation. In addition, in addition to the necessary facilities such as student residences, teaching residences, kitchen stoves, tea rooms, bath rooms, etc., they also need to build machine factories, cast iron factories, material storage facilities, iron mills, craftsmen, craftsman houses, playgrounds, martial arts venues, coaches, and other necessary facilities, so that students will not lack the ability to do things outside of studying.”

He said something, Zeng Guofan agreed, and when he finished speaking, he said, "I have recorded everything. However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to understand all these things for a while, so I would like to ask the emperor to give me a few months."

"There is naturally time. But I see, sometimes, you might as well let go of your arms. Just like the matter of Zhaojian Academy, you must speed up the efficiency of work from the office to the specific construction personnel below. My Qing Dynasty is good, but sometimes the efficiency is slightly lower. In this case, you must also seriously rectify it in the future. The depressed and troubled trend of the ministry and clerks will spread to a chess game of naval construction."

Zeng Guofan didn't know why he mentioned such a topic. The lack of efficiency between offices was a problem accumulated over the years. How could it be solved in a short period of time? He replied vaguely, "I have remembered it. After I go on, I will definitely explain the emperor's sage intentions to his subordinates. I think they know that the emperor's desire to renew will be able to change his mind and be cautious in his job."

"There is, after the ship is made in the future, whether it is entrusted to the British or produced by our own dynasty, after it arrives at the port and is produced, it will be necessary to form combat power within four months. You cannot have a ship or a person, but you are unable to form an army because of low efficiency. In this case, the British should be considered a specialist. Yung Wing, Rong Lu, after you two go down, ask the British to find out if you can sort out a memorial. In the future, as the navy's regulations, you will issue key passes at sea, and order the entire army to follow this and make preparations for the future."

"yes."

The emperor thought about it and felt that it was almost done. "I have been busy all night. I will wait for a while to have breakfast with me. After using it, let's go to work hard!"

******************************************

After breakfast, everyone met and came out. On the other hand, three members of the Military Affairs Office went to the hall to salute. "Last night, I, Xuan Wenxiang and others came in and jointly discussed the matter of discussing the naval constitution that will be established in the future. After not sleeping all night, I exempted Wenxiang from doing what he did today." He explained a few hastily, "Do you have anything to report?"

"The emperor is troubled by the state affairs, and I see it and feel pain in my heart. The establishment of the navy is certainly a great cause for the safe borders of our dynasty and the peace of the people, but the emperor's health is the hope of the subjects from all over the world. I think the emperor still needs to be busy."

"Don't you think I want to?" The emperor rolled his eyes, "The Liu Yao of Dun Gua in the Book of Changes has never talked about the affairs of the Lord. It can be seen that the Lord can retreat and hide without a banquet, and devote himself to it. He calls this the Lord this! If one thing is not careful, it will cause worries from the world; if one moment is not careful, it will cause trouble for thousands of generations. If one is not cautious in one's actions, it will eventually cause great virtues!"

"The emperor is wise." Xu Naizhao immediately continued, "If you are not careful in one thing, you will cause worries from the world; if you are not careful in one moment, you will cause trouble for thousands of lifetimes. Sincerity is the words of the wise. The previous lords were either confused or conceited, and there were always those who did not have to repeat the state affairs but did not have to be repeated, and the fate was not as careful as the emperor. The lord of the lord is truly worthy of being a lord!"

The emperor was very proud of these words. He laughed a few times and said again, "I haven't slept all night. If you have anything to do, please report it as soon as possible. Don't always think about saying anything."

"Yes." Yan Jingming said, "I came in to check in detail the various expenses of the Northeast of the imperial court since June of the 11th year of Xianfeng. The government offices of the three departments of the Ministry of Commerce, the military, and the engineering department have been busy for several days and have found out the details of all the funds. This time, the total cost of national treasury and silver was 46.27 million,322 taels of silver was spent. The details of various expenses have been listed on the left. Please look down on the emperor."

The emperor was frightened. More than 40 million? So much! If I had known this was the case, I shouldn't have let the Russians go so easily. It would be a mistake to dig a little more from them! "Then, after using this money, how much money will be left in the treasury? Didn't the money released from each province have already arrived at the ministry?"

"Yes. The provincial government has more than 100 million yuan in silver, but since the beginning of the 12th year of Xianfeng, all tombs have been paid in silver, rituals, salaries, imperial courts, Xiangqian, post stations, food, rewards, repairs, river engineering, adoption, weaving, public security, and other old items; new projects include health and health, government funds, supplementary funds, advance payments, and approvals for approvals. The total annual number of funds exceeds 70 million. This time, the emperor will prepare for the naval yamen and train troops to reorganize military forces. I believe that only 10 million taels cannot be collected, and the military will be used in the previous year..."

"Okay, okay." The emperor rushed to interrupt him, "Isn't the court who raises you people just to share my worries? Now I'm crying with me so poor? Yan Jingming, you submitted a memorial that 40% of the money was divided into the Ministry of Revenue and transferred to the internal treasury for sealing. Over the past ten years, you have saved a lot of money, right? I think, why don't you contribute it?"

Xu Naizhao and Zhao Guang were funny when they heard it. The emperor actually spoke to his subordinates in such a tone, as if the child was seeking money from the adults. Yan Jingming did not laugh, "Emperor, the silver in my hand is all the money used by the state. Although there is a surplus, I think that this money is for the purpose of preventing the need from time to time if the country has a flood and drought. It is not possible to deal with the construction of the navy for a while. In the future, when the country is in peace, the money will be paid by the provincial government..."

He kept talking, with only one sentence on the main theme, and the money cannot be used for the time being. However, the words "Flood and Drought Disaster" reminded the emperor. I remember that it was in 1864 that the northwest had a severe drought. People took their families to a foreign land to survive. Countless deaths were killed on the road. It was the Qing Dynasty who said, "It's full of stinking money, and it's not up to the right words. Let's go here today. Let's talk about it later if you have something to do."

Everyone was confused and before they finished speaking, how could they send everyone out? They had a lot of questions and met.

He sent everyone out, but the emperor didn't close his eyes all night, and felt a little sleepy. He didn't fit the voices outside, and the childish calls were connected, which made him extremely irritated. He lifted the quilt on his body, stared at his red eyes and scolded, "Who is calling out outside? Do you still understand the rules?"

"Prince forgives the crime." Jingyu knew that he had not slept all night and had a bad temper, so he hurriedly knelt down, "It was the fifth master who was coaxing the third princess and the fourth princess who were playing with him. He didn't want to disturb the emperor, so he would go out now..."

"I'll go by myself." His feet fell to the ground and stepped out of the hall gate. Under Langyuan, Yi Qiong was half bent over and was coaxing the two little princesses. The child was having fun and interrupted. He tried to slap his beautiful mouth, but he didn't dare to be rude. He bowed his knees slightly and shouted in a Manchu, "Ama, my daughter would like to pay tribute to Ama."

"Be good, go and have fun with Anda, don't make noise, do you hear it?"

"Yes." The sisters held hands and walked all the way.

The emperor looked at the fifth brother who was walking towards him, "Fifth Lao, are you so leisurely lately? I am a little envious of you."

"Your Majesty, you know your brother. The best thing in your life is to have fun. You are not as wise as the emperor, nor as smart as Lao Liu. Holding the position of a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is the emperor sympathizing with your brother, hehe!" Yi Qiong still smiled even in front of the emperor, "Why, Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't slept all night?"

"Yes, we are discussing matters with Zeng Guofan and others."

"Your Majesty, I am not bold enough to advise you, today's world can truly be regarded as the prosperous age of my Qing Dynasty that has not been seen in hundreds of years. You know my personality, so it is best to talk with those peddlers and barons. When it comes to the emperor's wise as heaven, the people are sincerely praised and only say to me, I hope God will bless you, the emperor will live forever and enjoy your life forever. My Qing Dynasty is blessed with a profound blessing and will be passed on forever!"

The emperor smiled at his younger brother's words and sincerely pulled the corners of his mouth, "Fifth, you can't ask others for these things to you, right?"

"No, really not!" Yi Qi exaggeratedly and cried out, "I just want to say that in addition to the busy state affairs of the emperor, he also needs to take care of the dragon body for the world."

The emperor smiled, "Oh, Lao Wu, I was yesterday, no, it was early this morning. Is it related to Zeng Guofan, Wen Xiang and others to discuss matters, but what is it related to you?"

"It has something to do with me?" Yi Qiong cried out inwardly and asked timidly, "Don't know what it is?"
