When he heard Yinsi say that each brother donated 50,000 yuan, the third brother Yinzhi scolded him in his heart. Last year, the prince and the fourth brother took the lead in donating money, but it was only 10,000 yuan when they opened their mouths. This eighth brother is so good, and he said 50,000 yuan when they opened their mouths. If you have to pledge it, wouldn’t you have to drink the northwest wind this year? Last year, the "Four Great Hengs" paid dividends only 40,000 yuan, and this would have to pay 10,000 yuan. This is a year's salary. Are you wrong? You have money to take care of the project, but we don't have the project package.

Crown Prince Yinreng was nervous. Did the Bachelor smell anything about Fujian? It took a lot of hard work to spend countless money to achieve such a situation. How could he be ruined like this? But his proposal was glamorous. How should he refute it? [.]

The fourth brother Yinzhen smiled bitterly in his heart. The donation holes cannot be opened randomly. The eighth brother is not a good-looking person. It seems that he will lose money again. I wonder how the prince will deal with it. I won’t be able to beat himself, right?

The Eight Party officials were excited. The Eighth Master was trying to help the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Fan Shichong. This was a timely help. This matter must be strongly supported. When anyone is in trouble, if he doesn't help Fan Shichong at this time, no one will pull him in trouble, and they will immediately be ready to move.

It doesn't matter to other ministers. Last time, they donated money enthusiastically, but Kangxi didn't ask for it. It's probably the same this time. Kangxi is not as good as before. Last year, he received a bonus of 1.6 million. Besides, there is no rich man like the Fourteenth Master, who has a net worth of tens of millions. He can pull out the root hair at will, and it is thicker than their waists.

Kangxi was even more surprised. Lao Ba actually donated money to support the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Fan Shichong to attract people's hearts. It's a very effective method based on your heart, and it is also beneficial to the court. However, should I need or not this money?

Crown Prince Yinreng was anxiously unable to come up with a good idea. He knew that everyone was waiting for him to express his opinion now. The eighth three of them had donated. If he didn't donate, it would be unreasonable. He glanced at the ministers who were eager to move. He turned around and said, "Emperor Ama, the eighth brother is loyal to the country, which really makes me ashamed. In a corner of Fujian, there are eighth brothers, ninth brothers, and tenth brothers donated enough. The drought in several northern provinces is serious. The son is willing to follow the fourteenth brother and invest 50,000 yuan to buy rice and grain in Zhili to open a porridge shed to help the people who were out of stock. I hope the emperor will be successful."

The third and fourth brothers were happy when they saw the prince start a new stove. Anyway, they donated it. They couldn't even hear the sound of donating to Fujian. The eighth brothers were better off than to build a porridge shed by themselves and gain a good reputation. The two of them immediately stood up, "My son is willing to open a porridge shed to help the people who have no food."

Seeing this, Lao Ba secretly admired the prince's quick reaction. This time, he started a new job, but greatly reduced his support for Fujian. Moreover, he also said it upright and had no reason to refute it.

Lao Wu, Lao Qi, Lao Twelve were stunned. They originally expected the prince and the others to lower the price, but now it is good. Although the prince started a new job, he also paid 50,000 taels at one time. This is a waste of life. Lao Wu Yinqi quickly handed a consultation look to Lao Qi and Lao Twelve. When the two saw it, they quickly blinked their eyes to approve it.

The fifth brother Yinqi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed him out, "I would like to give porridge and relief to the victims with my seventh and twelfth brothers."

As soon as the fifth brother Yinqi said this, not only Kangxi, but everyone became alert. Isn’t it another party?

The Grand Secretary and Minister of Shangshu Xiao Yongzao is also a member of the Eighth Party. After Tong Guowei withdrew, he naturally became a banner of the Eighth Party. Seeing that the Crown Prince Yinreng easily disrupted the Eighth Prince Yinsi's plan, he was secretly anxious. As soon as the princes finished speaking, he stood up and bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, although the northern provinces have drought, there are fourteen princes and the court to provide relief, and the people are still at peace. Once the drought is relieved, he can reliably reliance. On the other hand, Fujian is a corner, but the disaster is in chaos and nine out of ten families are empty. Whether it is pacified or post-war reconstruction, it requires a lot of money and food. The slaves are willing to pay three thousand silvers to show their hearts."

Well, this is the old and conspiring country. Kangxi glanced at Xiao Yongzao, but he still remained silent and sat down to watch the show.

Xiao Yongzao's words are indeed thought-provoking. The reconstruction of war is no more important than the reconstruction of post-disaster. It is clear at a glance. Zhang Penghong, the minister of Shangshu and Grand Secretary, followed him and stood up and bowed, "Mr. Xiao is always planning the country and is concerned about the long-term situation. I am willing to pay 3,000 taels."

Seeing that Zhang Penghong clearly supported him, the eighth-year-old Yinsi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhang Penghong's support was a positive signal. The Fourteenth Party was biased towards his eighth-year-old Party. Although there were only a few people in the 14th Party at present, Yinsi did not dare to underestimate him at all.

Although the crown prince Yinreng was depressed, he was not discouraged. Yinzhen had been in Guangdong for a while, and Gali probably hadn't had the chance to talk to him. There was no hurry to do this.

The two ministers in Shangshou had a consensus and had a great influence on the ministers in the court. Some neutrals expressed their support for the eighth party. In addition, the eighth party itself had a large number of people, and immediately there was a trend, and the voices of discussion were heard.

After the ministers calmed down, Kangxi had made up his mind and coughed lightly. He said calmly: "The hungry people in Fujian are rioting, and the spring drought in the northern provinces is just a disaster of scabies. Now the national treasury is abundant and there is no shortage of this little money. What makes me happy is the intention of all the ministers and workers to serve the country and the people. The court is in charge of the king and the ministers, why worry about the great governance of the world? Last time, the ministers and workers enthusiastically donated, but I politely declined. This time, I will allow you to let all officials and gentry and people in the world see the new atmosphere of our Qing Dynasty!"

Kangxi agreed? The ministers who were originally acting were complaining secretly in their hearts. They just said something, but after donating a year's salary, they all felt ache in their hearts, and they even scolded Kangxi for being unkind and being richer, the more stingy he became.

Shanghai.

Yinzhen returned to Shanghai on the Montedo and learned that the shipyard had been built and began to build a 2,000-material trading merchant ship. He immediately summoned all experienced Chinese and foreign shipbuilders and arranged for them to study the battleships and fast sail warships they bought separately.

After finishing his work, he inspected the firearm factory again. When Hu Zhiguo saw Yinzhen coming, he immediately stepped forward with joy and reported. The two-month division of work has begun to show its superiority, and there have been great progress in both manufacturing speed and the quality of firearms.

Yinzhen encouraged a few words of warm words and then continued: "Since it is effective, we will start to promote it vigorously. The manufacturing speed of firearms is indeed too slow."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhiguo quickly complained, "Prince Heng, this is easy to get an apprentice, but it is difficult to get skilled craftsmen."

Yinzhen laughed without thinking, "Why do you have to think hard when encountering things? Isn't this a large number of skilled craftsmen? Let them take apprentices, and each apprentice is given a fixed reward. Within three years, they will be allowed to withdraw 20% of the apprentice's monthly rate."

This is a good idea. When several groups of apprentices were brought out, these skilled craftsmen became small foremen. How could they not be willing? When Hu Zhiguo heard this, he nodded happily.
