Chapter 120

When Shi Shipiao saw Yinzhen change his face, he was startled and explained: "It's not a fault for Wu Junmen. It's not recommended by Wu Junmen. There is no need to hide it for him. After checking the documents, he found out that the Fujian Navy patrolled the sea all year round and encountered strong winds and huge waves, causing a crash. However, the Ministry of War did not pay for the deaths in this situation, but the Navy had to give up the pension. Over time, the pension was dragged down and the accumulation became more and more."

Hearing this commentary, Yinzhen's face eased slightly, and he said in a slowed down, "Why don't you report this situation in detail to the Ministry of War? Years of deficits can only drag down all the Fujian Navy." [.]

Shi Shipiao sighed with helplessness, and then said, "This is not the Ministry of War. Once this hole is opened, the injuries of major naval troops will inevitably increase significantly. Military officers are no longer able to make money now than civil servants. They are paying empty wages, suppressing thieves, and reselling military funds. The emperor is now governing with lenient means, and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger..."

It was the administration of the government again, and Yinzhen felt a headache. After a while, he said: "How much is the casualties and disability pension that the Fujian Navy has owed over the years?"

"Ninety thousand taels." Shi Shipiao reported it in one go.

"Don't move around, it's not easy to join the army." Yinzhen pondered, "I will give you 150,000 yuan, but it's not for free. The sea border is also territory. The Fujian Navy has to patrol the East China Sea and the South China Sea every year? You draw a detailed map of the East China Sea, the routes of the South China Sea, and the distribution of large and small islands."

Shi Shipiao had this plan when drawing the East China Sea map. When he heard that Yinzhen was willing to give 150,000, he replied excitedly, "I have not given my order."

Yinzhen didn't have the talent to draw the sea border map. The sea border will grow bigger and bigger in the future. Now we have to start cultivating talents in this field. Seeing Shi Shipiao's promise, Yinzhen didn't know whether he could implement it, so he could only hit him more in the future.

Yinzhen then said, "Looking at the Qing Dynasty, the territory on land spans thousands of miles, the northeast and northwest have been pacified. It can be said that the threat from land is very small, and the biggest threat in the future will be from the sea.

Now the Western countries are full of ambitions, and they have begun to invade the east in the Ming Dynasty. Their navigation and shipbuilding technology are even more numerous. You have been in Guangzhou for many years and you should have seen Western warships. I heard that their latest battleships are all three-layer decks, and there are hundreds of artillery alone.

Our existing warships cannot compete with them at all. Once the war begins, the consequences will be unimaginable. The king created the navy to prevent early. If the Western fleet wants to invade the Qing Dynasty, it will inevitably come from the west. Southeast sea defense is the first to bear the brunt. I believe that Taiwan should become a focus of Southeast sea defense and must increase its efforts to operate.

This time, I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to visit Taiwan. You might as well use more snacks. The original custom of the Fujian Navy was that the admiral only inspected Taiwan once every two years. It must be changed. Once a year, the infrastructure of Taiwan’s ports must also be strengthened. In addition, the emperor ordered you to serve as the vice president of the Navy. I thought that the Fujian Navy would be merged into the Navy sooner or later. You might as well prepare for the future and select a group of young and knowledgeable low-level officials or soldiers to go to the Navy Academy for training and study.

You should think about these things yourself first, and then write a memorandum to the emperor for advice. Take it step by step. Don’t be anxious to achieve success. One thing you should pay attention to is that you cannot mention this king.”

Shi Shipiao listened with a smile at first, but after hearing it, his expression was already solemn and stern. He had seen Western warships in Macau. If he really wanted to fight, the existing naval warships were no match for him. He had been in Guangdong for many years and had heard of the Westerners' actions in Southeast Asia. He was even more familiar with the barbaric actions of the Red-Haiguo in Taiwan. Yinzhen's words were by no means a false threat.

After listening with a solemn expression, Shi Shipiao knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and said with a long body: "The prince Xun is always planning the country, thinking deeply, and not ashamed, so he must respect the order carefully."

On the eighth day of the March, Kangxi received a secret letter from Yinzhen. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but smile. In this way, the trade fleet and ocean-going fleet no longer had to worry about the expenses of the Qinhuai River, cotton cloth and raw silk specialty export income should be around five million a year. Finally, he no longer had to worry about losing money. He picked up the two million ticket and looked carefully before he let it go. This kid's money was getting bigger and bigger, and he gave it up for two million.

Thinking of the road construction proposed by Yinzhen, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The model of the national official road, is this kid planning to overhaul the official road nationwide? This is not a trivial matter, how much money does it cost?

On the ninth day of the third month, the cabinet scholar Pan Zongluo was moved to the governor of Pan Yuan. When his resignation was made, Kangxi once again mentioned the rule of lenient power and made clear instructions to the world:

"Anyone who is a governor is very important to be a governor, and you should be a good example for subordinates. Today, the peace and nothing is necessary, and it is important to not cause trouble. If you prosper, you will suffer a disadvantage. The ancients said that it is better to have less than one thing. This is the intention. If you control your subordinates, you should be generous, and you will get a lot of people. If you are a high-ranking official, if you are obsessed with your own opinions and are too demanding, then how can your subordinates be defeated? As for Hongmiao, you are in a deserted place and cannot be treated with the people in the mainland, and you should be good at pacifying. I believe that you, such as Han officials, want to retire when they are in trouble, and you will be divided into officials and separate positions. In order to make them peaceful and raising the people, you will be responsible for everything and serve as a minister in the border area. When you are in trouble, you will be dismissed. What is the use of you?"

As soon as this order was issued, a group of officials of all sizes were as if they had a peace of mind. It seemed that Kangxi's purpose of governing tranquility was definitely not shaken. The Han officials were frightened. Although Kangxi did not name a name, all the officials had their own account in their hearts. God knows if Kangxi had any help? Will this matter be revealed again when the situation is in response to the situation in the future?

On the 10th day of March, Grand Secretary Li Guangdi took the lead and knelt down and said: "Today, when the meeting of Shengping for 50 years, Chinese and foreign subjects, I am leading the way, and I pray for the honor of my ancestors to comfort public opinion. My emperor's virtue is strong and will not live..."

Crown Prince Yinreng then turned around and knelt down and said, "This year is the meeting of Emperor Ama's 50th year of Shengping. Emperor Ama is in the imperial court and worships the banhu. It is not a false and traditional Chinese language. It is also a respectful celebration for the Christmas Day. My son prays to Emperor Ama's Imperial Palace to accept congratulations to please the ministers of both Chinese and foreign ministers, scholars, soldiers and civilians."

Why did you find another thing to congratulate the Imperial Palace? The princes and ministers were stunned. This year is not the tenth birthday. Besides, the Imperial Palace celebration has not been held for many years, but no one dares to say more. Just congratulate the Imperial Palace celebration, just spend more energy and time.

The sacred sage cannot fall behind people. The princes and ministers immediately rushed to come out and agree and pray. The first merit was gone, so they could only write on the word "new". So they all tried to praise the novel meaning to win Kangxi's favor. They also submitted memorials to ask Kangxi to be respected. The memorials had been written long ago, and they were all three of them. The words were naturally more earnest. Although everyone knew they were doing a show, no one dared to be careless. If Kangxi saw through it, it would be a serious crime.

Kangxi glanced at the ministers who had kneeled all over the ground, and was very happy and even more proud. In history, there were only three or four emperors who had been in power for more than fifty years. After a while, he said: "I have stopped congratulating the court for more than twenty years on my birthday. Since the ministers and the words were sincere, I will obey the people and accept congratulations. There is no need to mention the matter of honoring the title. I have issued an edict, so there is no need to ask for it."

After Kangxi agreed to accept the congratulations, Crown Prince Yinreng couldn't help but feel proud. He hadn't congratulated for more than 20 years. This congratulations must be large in scale. Now some of you are busy.
