Li Dequan glanced at it, with five big words, enough for ten thousand taels of silver. His already stretched out hand was burned and shrank back, "Fourth Master, serving the emperor is the duty of a slave, and he dare not accept the reward from the Fourteenth Master."

Li Dequan was the eunuch in the palace and had the highest status among eunuchs. However, because Kangxi was very strict in the management of eunuchs, he received only about 20,000 taels of gifts every year. The fourteenth one took action and it really scared him. He knew very well that he had to do things to collect money, and he was really afraid that the things that the fourteenth explained were difficult to deal with. [The latest updates in search are all in.]

Seeing Li Dequan looking both loving and afraid, Yinzhen was secretly happy and frightened. He was so scared. This is what he wanted. If he gave his kindness, he would have to give as much kind as a mountain, otherwise it would be better not to do it. "What? Don't you know that the Fourteenth has made some money recently? Put it away quickly, it will be bad if you catch it."

Li Dequan still said carefully: "The Fourteenth Master has something to tell me to do to me, just give me instructions."

Yinzhen stuffed the silver notes into his hand and chuckled, "Is there something wrong? Take it to subsidize, don't collect some broken silver."

Li Dequan really didn't know what to say for a moment. The Fourteenth Master was too generous and gave him 10,000 taels of silver for free. A prince's annual salary was only 10,000 taels. He hurriedly knelt down and gave a big gift, "Fourth Master, I am a clumsy, and I am the servant of the Fourteenth Master's great kindness in my heart."

"What kind of kindness is it? You are so sad. Get up quickly." Yinzhen hurriedly helped him up, and then said: "The missionary I remember once gave the Emperor Ama a map of the Wanguo Kun. Do you know? Ask someone to send me here, I will use it later."

In the Yangxin Palace, after Yinzhen saw the ceremony, Kangxi ordered: "Give him a seat and enjoy tea."

After Yinzhen thanked him for his gratitude, Kangxi smiled and said, "You are rich now that you can rival a country."

Yinzhen said with a wry smile: "Emperor, I'm the one who takes the liberty to disturb you is also for this."

"Oh, it seems that you have made arrangements long ago, let's hear it." Kangxi could not care about the huge sum of money in Yinzhen's hand, but he really cared about his reputation. Now that Yinzhen raised this matter himself, he naturally paid great attention to it.

"Emperor, my Qing Dynasty is not only a land power, but also a sea power. My son wants to use this money to build an ocean fleet." The ocean dream is not only Yinzhen's dream, but also the dream of every Chinese citizen in later generations. Now that he has the opportunity and ability, Yinzhen naturally does not want to let it go.

Ocean Fleet? What is the Western name? Kangxi couldn't help but be stunned. He never expected that Yinzhen would invest the money on it. It was entirely a matter of the country. After the Ocean Fleet was built, it would not be possible to become Yinzhen's personal armed force. Not to mention that he did not allow it, the court would not allow it.

What did Yinzhen think? He couldn't have thought about this. Kangxi looked at Yinzhen in confusion. At present, these adult princes were staring at the throne in their eyes. But at this time, Yinzhen played such a move. Is he dedicated himself to the country? Or did he have other intentions? Yinzhen is a member of the eighth prince. Even if Kangxi was so wise and extremely smart, he couldn't see through and could not figure out Yinzhen's thoughts.

Kangxi also knew in his heart that establishing an ocean-going fleet would have great benefits for the country and the people. Not to mention anything else, it could at least ensure that the coastal areas in the south of the Yangtze River were protected from harassment from overseas. However, before he could not understand Yinzhen's specific ideas, Kangxi did not dare to speak easily.

Yinzhen waited for a while but could not see Kangxi speak, and did not know what Kangxi was thinking, so he had to burn another fire, "Emperor Ahma, the former Ming Dynasty once had a navy with 3,500 warships. Every spring and summer, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and made the country's prestige overseas, which made the thirty-six countries submit their submissions based on this navy.

My sons are unworthy, and I am willing to imitate it and build a powerful ocean-going fleet to promote the prestige of our Qing Dynasty outside the territory, so that all countries can come to pay tribute to us."

"Do you want to go to the West?" Kangxi was shocked and immediately said, "No, the son of a thousand gold medal is still not in the hall. As a prince, how can you voyage thousands of miles and take unexpected risks."

"The Emperor Ama Shang personally led the army to fight for the enemy and took the risk of arrows and stones. My son..." Yinzhen saw Kangxi's expression unhesitation, so he quickly changed his words, "Even if the Emperor Ama does not allow Er Chen to go, he can condemn others to go."

This bastard actually wanted to go to the West, and he didn't want to fight for the throne anymore? Well, thinking that Yinzhen took the initiative to ask for an order to go to Jiangnan to supervise the construction of the Agricultural College half a year ago, Kangxi vaguely guessed Yinzhen's idea. This kid was fake in going to the West, and his true intention was to go out of Beijing to avoid this throne battle. Since that's the case, he would have to make trouble. Anyway, the money was considered to be used on the knife. It was better than letting me think about it all day long, and I was about to speak, but Yinzhen spoke first.

Yinzhen didn't know what Kangxi thought. This opportunity was rare. If Kangxi could not be told, I would have to delay the construction of the Ocean Fleet for many years. Now he can't afford to delay it for a year. Europe is already ahead. I was anxious, and Yinzhen didn't pay attention to Kangxi's expression.

He only heard him say loudly: "Emperor, on land, the territory of our Qing Dynasty has expanded to the extreme. No matter how far northwest is, we will not be able to consolidate it even if we are defeated. However, there is still a large area of ​​fertile territory on the ocean. As long as we have an ocean fleet, our Qing Dynasty's territory will have a lot of room for expansion."

As he said that, Yinzhen signaled Li Dequan to spread the map of Kun of the Wanguo, "Did Emperor Ama notice that no one has explored the gap in the middle yet. Maybe there is a continent in this gap. If we can find and conquer it, then the territory of our Qing Dynasty will be doubled. What about Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Emperor Song Zu, can't be compared with Emperor Ama at all."

Hearing this, Kangxi's eyes lit up. He was already a wise man and had a high opinion of himself. Because it was the Manchus, he particularly wanted to surpass the wise lords of the Han people. Yinzhen's words came to his heart. He walked over unconsciously and soon found the blank in the map of Kunming in the Wanguo.

"There may be a continent here?" Kangxi murmured, as if he was talking to himself or asking Yinzhen.

Yinzhen wanted to tell him exactly that it was the location of Oceania. "The emperor, South American, North American, and African states were all discovered by accident during navigation. My son had been thinking about it for a long time. Such a big gap could not be all oceans, and there should be a continent."

If Kangxi was just intent before, then he was now moved. In his life, in terms of martial arts, he captured the claws and worshipped the Three Feudals, conquered Taiwan, fought against Tsarist Russia, and conquered Galdan. In terms of Wentao, he compiled the "Kangxi Dictionary", "The Qing Dynasty Collection", "Peng Wenyun Mansion", "Pengling Paintings of Paintings in the Past Dynasties", "Complete Tang Poems", and "Complete Books of Ancient and Modern Times". In terms of governance, he cultivated and maintained his cultivation, focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, reduced tuition and education, suppressed annexation, and punished corrupt officials. He did all the so-called kingly ways of saints. What frustrated him was that in terms of territory, he could not catch up with the Tang and Yuan Empire. In terms of governance, he could only be regarded as being wise and sage lords in history. It is said that Kangxi was tired of politics in his later years, but in fact he was confused and could not see the goal of surpassing all wise lords.

The Marine Empire, overseas territory, is equivalent to the overseas territory of the Qing Dynasty. If it can be realized, Kangxi will definitely set a precedent for a generation and will lead the way among the emperors of all dynasties.

Yinzhen's words were not a mistake. He had figured out Kangxi's thoughts and came prepared. Seeing Kangxi get up and walking around the room quickly, he knew in his heart that this treasure was bet on, and Kangxi was moved.

Kangxi was indeed moved. No, it should be that his depressed ambition was once again stirred up. His ambition to surpass the emperor of the ages and achieve the emperor of the ages made his blood boil. I am not old and I am only fifty-six years old this year. It is absolutely fine to live for ten or eight years. I must complete this feat in my lifetime. I must surpass all emperors and let them see who is the real emperor of the ages.

Soon, Kangxi suppressed his excitement, sat down calmly, looked at Yinzhen and said, "You should have a specific plan, let's talk about it."
