Chapter 205
Confusion
Prince Heng's Mansion.
The fifteenth prince Yinzhen gave a detailed report to Yinzhen on the transmission channels and outlet layout of the Beijing News in various provinces. He also convened officials stationed in Jingtang in various provinces in recent days and explained the final determination of the plan one by one. [.]
After listening intently, Yinzhen smiled and praised, "The fifteenth brother is not afraid of tediousness, is humble and cautious, and can do everything personally. It is the help of the 14th brother. The successful release of the Beijing News has made great contributions. However, for some trivial matters, the 14th brother will not report to the Emperor Ama for the time being. You have not yet been awarded a title, so calm down and do your job diligently. At the end of next year, the 14th brother will report to the Emperor Ama again. In any case, he will earn you a Victory Title."
Kangxi has rarely granted titles to princes alone. The third prize in Yinzhen's third year is an exception. The princes who have not been granted titles are still young except for the fifteenth and sixteenth, and Yinzhen has never expected to be granted titles in recent years. Hearing this, he blushed with excitement and said, "Thank you, the fourteenth brother."
Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "There are complicated tasks in Jiangnan. At the beginning of the year, I will leave Beijing. One is that the prince cannot leave Beijing without orders. Two is that the fifteenth brother stays in the capital. I can only feel at ease in Jiangnan. The Beijing News is not only founded by us, but also the mouthpiece of the court. You will have a deep understanding of its importance in the future. If you are in Beijing, you will be responsible for handling the Beijing News well.
From top to bottom, the Beijing News is ours and we also lose tens of thousands of dollars every year. No one will grab this job for the time being, but they must prevent them from making trouble and other tabloids in the capital.
If you have something unsure, ask Li Guangdi and Zhang Penghong more questions. In addition, pay more attention to talents and accumulate strength slowly. But one thing you should remember is that all military officials should not contact each other. You are not only a prince, but also a leader of the 14th Party. You should think twice about every word and action."
Listening to Yinzhen's nagging instructions, Yinzhen felt a fever in his heart and quickly replied respectfully: "The teachings of the 14th brother, the fifteenth brother must be remembered in his heart."
At this time, Bao Fuquan's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Jiangning Ortai is looking for a meeting outside."
Ortai returned to Beijing so soon? Yinzhen was slightly stunned and said, "Take him here." After hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen.
Yinzhen naturally knew what he thought and smiled and said, "Don't be restrained in front of the Fourteenth Brother. During this period, if you have nothing to do, just follow me to meet people and do things. You will have to deal with these people in the future. It will be beneficial to be familiar with them."
"Thank you, Brother Four." Yinzhen relaxed slightly, feeling that Brother Fourteen seemed to be more friendly than before.
Seeing Bao Fuquan coming in and out, Ortai was quite surprised. When he was a guard in the palace, he also knew Bao Fuquan. He smiled and said, "Eunuch Bao, you are not worried about these things. Isn't there any serious matters or eunuch?"
Bao Fuquan smiled and said, "Please, the prince is waiting." After walking a few steps, he said, "Our prince has only returned to Beijing for a few days a year. If we don't show up quickly, we might have forgotten that there is still this horn."
"How can you do it? You have been following the prince since you were a child." Ortai flattered as he walked.
"Oh, I dare not say that. Lord E, as the saying goes, I haven't come to my house for three years, so I won't kiss you anymore." Bao Fuquan walked and said, "The horn of the zodiac family is so kind and honorable that everyone is counting on the prince, but he dare not be negligent."
The two of them passed through the corridor and soon arrived at the entrance of Yinzhen's study. Ortai bowed to Bao Fuquan and then entered the study. As soon as they entered the door, they glanced at him and saw that the fifteenth prince was also there. He hurriedly greeted the two of them. After getting up, he knelt down again, kowtowed, and said, "Slave Ortai, thank the Fourteenth Master for his advice and support."
Seeing him giving him a big gift, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "But have you been rewarded by the emperor?"
"Return to the Fourteenth Master, thanks to the emperor's kindness, and rewards the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Ortai replied calmly.
"Well, a second-rank senior official, there is another member of the 14th Party." Yinzhen nodded with a smile, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "No gift, sit down."
After sitting down, Ortai said: "The emperor ordered the slaves to pilot the promotion of industrial and commercial tax reform in Jiangning City. In order to facilitate their actions, they were awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Yinzhen's heart sank. The reason why he gave the reform of industrial and commercial taxes in Beijing to his brother was that he offended people for the reform of industrial and commercial taxes. Whether it was Beijing or Jiangning, all those who operate luxury consumption in the industry were big businessmen. Which one was not a complicated interest relationship? It can be said that one touched the whole body, and one offended it would be a large area. He wanted to hide behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that in the end, Kangxi still surrounded him, the initiator.
His reputation in Jiangnan is now at its peak. He cannot ruin his reputation because of this industrial and commercial tax reform. He pondered slightly and said, "Tell me about the situation of the interview in detail."
Seeing Yinzhen's expression, Ortai also realized that the trial of promoting industrial and commercial tax reform in Jiangning City was not as simple as imagined, so he dared not hide it at the moment and said carefully about the situation of Kangxi's reception.
After hearing this, Yinzhen breathed a little relieved and pondered: "The emperor's holy thoughts are far-reaching. Jiangnan is the fundamental place of the country, and stability is the supreme priority. Jiangning's industrial and commercial tax reform would rather be slower than ensure stability. Industrial and commercial tax reform is a big article, and it is not urgent. As a pilot, it must be more stable and should not be eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Jiangnan has developed commerce and all industries are prosperous. Jiangning is the center of Jiangnan. If you are not careful, the response will be huge. Jiangning City's industrial and commercial tax reform starts with basic industries that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. First, lower the tax rates of these industries to win the hearts of the people. If you involve luxury consumption, it will be slowly raised according to the Qinhuai River example and slow down the pace. After all, these industries are different from the huge profits of the brothel industry. You must be cautious and cautious."
Ortai also knew very well that the success or failure of the reform of industrial and commercial taxation in Jiangning was directly related to the future. After listening to the specific plan guided by Yinzhen, he was immediately happy. The Fourteenth Master's method is in line with the principle that if you want to take it, you must first give it. You must first win the hearts of the people and make steady progress. Even if there are minor omissions, it will not cause a big response, and there will be no serious situations such as workshop strikes or businessmen's strikes. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Fourteenth Master is far-sighted and has a high perspective. If you follow this method, you can be invincible. The slaves will definitely respect their teachings."
Yinzhen said with a slight hue, "It's important to you. You need to be extra cautious when selecting and employing people. You don't have to celebrate the New Year in Beijing. Go back to Jiangning directly. You have many relatives, friends and colleagues in the capital, and have recently been promoted. It is inevitable that someone will recommend various talents to you, but they will not accept them, offend others, and if you accept them, they are all mediocre people who are determined to make a fortune, and they are prone to bad things.
In addition, although you have been given the title of Minister of Revenue, you are a false position. The new Governor of Liangjiang Lang Tingji is a member of the starling brother. The starling brother is also responsible for the pilot project of the capital. He will definitely not want you to be outstanding and steal his limelight. I guess you will be troubled and obstructed. You go to Jiangning first, and I will ask the emperor later to see if you can ask you for a real position in Jiangning to facilitate your business."
When he heard that Yinzhen thought so thoroughly and meticulously about him, Ortai felt aroused. Following such a master, what else could he say, he hurriedly stood up and knelt down, "The Fourteenth Master is so polite, and the servant can only repay the task diligently. If he cannot successfully complete the industrial and commercial tax reform in Jiangning, he will have no face to see the Fourteenth Master again."
Seeing that Yinzhen could think so thoroughly in a short time and put himself in his shoes, the fifteenth prince Yinzhen couldn't help but secretly respect him. How could the fourteenth brother not be wholeheartedly able to use people like this? It's not a blessing that he could create such a situation in just a few years.
Kangxi was promoted and dismissed a series of officials from Jiangnan and the capital during the fifth dynasty. After a few days of searching, the princes and ministers could not figure out what Kangxi wanted. They could not understand what he wanted. They could not figure out which prince he wanted. They were all like watching flowers in the fog, both vague and ethereal.
Seeing that the second deposed prince was about to be destroyed, Kangxi was in high spirits again, and it was afraid that it would not last a few years for the new crown prince to ascend the throne. Everyone knew in their hearts that if they could hold the new crown prince's thigh at this time, their career in the future would be smooth sailing. But what was worrying is that Kangxi did not play according to the rules and made the already chaotic situation even more chaotic, like a mess.
The prince who originally formed a party to fight for the crown prince was only the Eighth Master Party and the Fourteenth Master, but Kangxi forced the Third Master and Fourth Master to come out. These two masters were originally from the Crown Prince and the power increased greatly at this time. God knew whether they would form a party? At a loss and at a loss, the princes and ministers were also complaining about Kangxi in their hearts while being extremely entangled.
This is not a matter of nostalgia. Once you stand in the wrong team, you will lose your post and dismiss your post and be sacked and exiled. However, facing such a rare opportunity, the princes and ministers are still itchy. It is very risky to stand in the wrong team, but if you stand in the right team, you will rise to the top, become promoted, be promoted to a title, be granted a wife and a cute son, and be loved by future generations. On one side, there is high rewards, and on the other side, there is high risk, which is really difficult to defeat all princes and ministers.
Of course, there are also people who don’t line up, but they are all ready to not bloom for thousands of years. After all, it is a very small number. When people are in the career, who can be as calm as they have a slight opportunity? What’s more, at this moment when the old and the new are alternating, the storm and opportunities are within reach, how many people can be without any trouble?
As Lang Ting was promoted to the Governor of Liangjiang, Ma Qi returned to Shangshang. The Eighth Prince Party was very energetic and was in the limelight for a while. The Eighth Prince Yinsi was also very energetic and swept away his previous doubts and depression. Although Kangxi's official promotion was snatched by the third brother, he also benefited a lot. What made him most relieved was that the fourteenth brother, who was the most popular a few days ago, did not get any benefits, which strengthened his idea. Kangxi was indeed playing balance. It depends on his own methods.
