People in Guangdong were panic, Fujian was covered with clouds, winds were heard along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and the capital was not calm. The people were talking about it, and the court was endless. The cause was the decree issued by Kangxi on February 29:

"I have read the number of people in the provincial governors and governors, but have not increased the number of people. All reports have been made. Now Haiyu has been peaceful for a long time and the household registration is growing more and more. If you charge more money and grain according to the current population, it is not possible to charge more money and grain. Although the population has increased, the land acres have not increased. The provincial governor should be ordered to collect the number of famous people in the current capital and grain book. Do not increase or decrease the number of people in the current capital book, and always make a fixed quota. The people born after that will not need to collect money and grain. The actual number will be added until the editor review will be released and a list of items will be created." [.]

This is the famous "Sacred World Ziding, which will never add tribute to you.

The reason why this edict responded so much is because the Qing Dynasty's collection of Ding Silver was not a unified national standard. Different provinces are different, and even within a province, and counties are often different.

There are those who divide the three grades and nine entries, there are those who divide the three grades and nine entries, and there are those who divide the three grades and nine entries. In general, the northern regions are mostly divided into three grades and nine entries, that is, the number of people in the household is determined by the amount of grain, and the number of people is higher or lower, and different amounts of Ding silver are collected respectively. In the south, it is mostly used to recruit unified entries, called "one entries," "Ding Lidi Sect, which merges Ding silver into land tax collection, and is also mostly in the south, especially in the south, Sichuan, Guangxi and other provinces, and in the southeast, Jiang, Zhejiang and other provinces, this method is used to recruit sect.

The general situation is that if the grain in the north is light and heavy, and if it is to accept D. All tolerances and miscellaneous groups come from D. If the grain in the south is heavy and less expensive, and if it is to accept the regular tax, all tolerances and miscellaneous groups come from D.

The decree of Kangxi's saint-shidian, never adding tuitions, the southern provinces naturally applauded, but the northern provinces were full of complaints. Moreover, the saint-shidian, never adding tuitions, just fixed tuitions, cannot solve the problem of tuition silver, and the various disadvantages inherent in the tuition silver system still exist.

The ministers in the court could not even care about party disputes when they involved their own interests. According to their respective interests, they naturally formed the northern and southern factions, argued and attacked each other continuously, and had no time to care about them.

Kangxi also did not expect that it would cause such a fierce debate. He originally intended to take advantage of his wealth and gradually resolve the Ding Yin problem, alleviate the increasingly sharp social contradictions, stabilize social order, and ensure that the vested Ding tax income will not be in danger of losing due to the continued escape of the people.

The endless arguments of the ministers in the court made Kangxi very upset. Dante Yin's system reform involved too much, so he had to be careful. He wanted to write to ask the Fourteenth of the Fourteenth for any good plans, but when he thought that the Fourteenth of the People was also in a state of great trouble, he suppressed this idea and wanted to let go of the matter for a while. He thought about how to divert the attention of the Ministers in the court.

When he went to the study room, the minister on duty, Xiao Yongzao was carefully reviewing the memorials to be submitted to Kangxi. The eunuch Tang San walked in with a hurried look in panic. Hearing the rushing footsteps, Xiao Yongzao looked up and stared at him dissatisfiedly. During this period, the Central and Southern sects and Northern sects attacked each other. The ministers in the study room were not having a good life, so naturally they were not much better.

Although it was already spring, it was still a little cold. Tang San's forehead was covered with sweat. He naturally noticed Xiao Yongzao's dissatisfaction, but he still did not slow down. He rushed to the side of the kang for a few steps. He bowed and handed over the memorial and said, "Xiao Zhongtang Guangdong Navy reported the emergency military report for 800 miles, and Fujian Navy reported the emergency military report for 800 miles."

When he heard that the military newspaper was reported to the eight hundred miles, Xiao Yongzao was slightly stunned. After checking the hot paint, he hurriedly opened it. The military newspaper reported to Kangxi was more detailed and quicker than Shi Shipiao and Yinzhen. After he got up and got off the kang. According to Kangxi's convention, whenever military affairs were involved, the original documents would be submitted without writing the brief. Seeing that Tang San was still stunned, he couldn't help but scolded: "Why don't you go and hand in the sign quickly, I have to see the emperor immediately."

Kangxi was listening to the third prince Yinzhi in the western warm room of the Ganqing Palace, and Prince Heshuo Jian and Yaer Jiang A and the other two reported the progress of the trial of the entrusted Qi Huiyin case. He wanted to use this case to divert the attention of the ministers in the court.

Yaerjiang A's report has ended, "1. According to the preliminary trial results, Heqi, Qi Shiwu, and Geng'er did have any gang-making attempts, and the conclusive evidence is still to be further verified."

Kangxi was thinking about whether to quickly settle the case, but Li Dequan reported softly: "Emperor, Xiao Zhongtang is asking for a meeting outside, saying that there is an emergency military situation."

Emergency military situation? Kangxi was stunned and soon realized that it was the Great Luzon fleet that had caused trouble on the southeast coast. He immediately ordered: "Call him in."

Xiao Yongzao stepped in quickly and greeted him, and said, "Report to the emperor, the Great Luzon fleet disturbed our southeastern coast and fought fiercely with the Guangdong Navy on the coast of Macau. Then he turned north and went north. What is the purpose? I still don't know." Then he presented the memorial with both hands.

When Kangxi heard that the Guangzhou Navy and the Great Luzon fleet had already fought, he was shocked. When he opened the memorial, he was shocked. The Guangdong Navy was defeated, and a deputy general and a general were killed. Six of the warships were damaged by 6 of them, and more than 1,200 soldiers were killed and killed. Only by relying on the Lantau Fort, he was shocked to leave the Great Luzon fleet.

The memorial only mentioned that the Great Luzon Fleet had 35 large and large warships, but did not mention their losses. It seemed that the Great Luzon Fleet was not damaged, which made him even more worried. The battle report of the Fujian Navy was only a report. The Great Luzon Fleet headed north along the coast and approached Fujian.

After reading the memorial, Kangxi remained silent. There were only a few cannon positions on the Lantau Fortress, how could it be scared to leave the Great Luzon fleet? I expected that the Great Luzon fleet would not be in Guangzhou. What is its purpose? Taiwan or Shanghai?

Thinking of the huge Luzon fleet, Kangxi was not only worried. Although the Fujian Navy was the strongest navy, it had not experienced any war for more than 20 years. Moreover, the scale of warships was simply incomparable to the Luzon fleet. It would only take a long time to lose the battle. If the Luzon fleet was heading for Taiwan, it would be able to slow down. If it came to Shanghai, it would only be a way to block the river's waterway, and the entire Jiangnan would be shocked.

If the Own Fourteenth Ocean Fleet could start construction for two years earlier, how could it be worrying today? When the Own Fourteenth thought of the Own Fourteenth, Kangxi was shocked. How could he not see the Own Fourteenth’s memorial? He is in Shanghai and it is impossible for him not to know about this. Could it be that he is not in Shanghai?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Kangxi looked at Xiao Yongzao and said, "What do you think about this?"

Xiao Yongzao was thinking hard all the way, but he knew nothing about the Luzon fleet, and he only knew that it was an island country in Nanyang and had trade with Guangzhou. However, in the battle report of the Guangdong Navy, there were only 35 large and small warships in the Great Luzon fleet, and the powerful thief power, and there was no way to infer it.

When Kangxi asked, he was very frightened, but Kangxi had to reply to the question, he pondered: "I think the most urgent thing is to find out what the purpose of the Great Luzon fleet invaded our southeast coast? Since the Great Luzon fleet had not taken advantage of the victory to advance to Guangzhou, it expected that it had no intention of landing and attacking our Qing Dynasty. In the past Ming Dynasty, the Red-Hai Kingdom had occupied Taiwan, and the Great Luzon was originally an island country. I think that the Great Luzon fleet's ambition was also in Taiwan, so I might as well take it slowly."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi frowned slightly before saying, "As the minister of the Shangshu, you are confused and ignorant of the South Ocean that you live next to you. How could the Great Luzon be such an island country?"

Xiao Yongzao thought to himself that he was unlucky, how could it be on duty today? Kangxi said in a stern tone, anxious and afraid, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Slaves are superficial and licked in high positions, and cannot share the worries of the king and father. I am really frightened and hope that the emperor will punish him."

Kangxi was not harsh, and Weiweijie said, "Go down and find out the situation in the Great Luzon, and discuss it again the morning court the next day." After that, he looked at the third prince Yinzhi and said, "Yinzhi, do you read a lot of books and know the situation in the Great Luzon?"

Yinzhi was so shocked that Kangxi didn't expect that he would ask him, and he pondered slightly before replying: "When I return to the emperor, although I read a lot of books, I specialize in classics, history, and collections of astronomy, laws and regulations, commerce, geography, and research on things. The Southeast Asian country is hanging overseas, and I rarely care about it."

Kangxi said, "I have specialized in my skills and professions. I have been harsh and asked for everything. Let's kneel down and rest."

After the three of them retreated, Kangxi ordered Li Dequan to say: "Attention to Shanghai's secret letters at any time, and submit them immediately as soon as they arrive."

Li Dequan knew that Kangxi was waiting for the 14th Master’s memorial, so he hurriedly bowed and replied, “Zhe.”

Kangxi sighed lightly, stood up and walked slowly in the hall. Since his establishment, the Qing Dynasty had never encountered enemies from the West, South and East on the sea. Only when he conquered Taiwan, there were several naval battles. After conquering Taiwan, the navy had not experienced a great war again for more than twenty years. The navy was so unbearable!

Thinking that the Guangdong Navy warships lost six out of ten, while the Luzon fleet was not injured at all, Kangxi was angry. Decades ago, the Dutch warships had disrupted the southeast coast several times. At that time, Zheng Zhilong's warships were far inferior to Dutch warships, but they defeated the Dutch in every defeat.

Instead, he thought that the Guangdong Navy killed a deputy general and a general in this battle, and more than 1,200 soldiers were injured and killed. Kangxi calmed down slightly, so he could not completely blame the soldiers for being greedy for their lives and fearing death.

Thinking of the large scale of the Great Luzon fleet and the numerous artillery, Kangxi couldn't help but feel bored. If the Great Luzon fleet was allowed to rush across the southeast coast or occupy Taiwan, his reputation would have been lost in this life.

The Great Luzon fleet severely damaged the Guangdong Navy and headed north along the coast. The Minister of Shangshu Xiao Yongzao was scolded by Kangxi because he was not aware of the situation in Great Luzon. For a time, all the civil and military officials in the capital were busy inquiring about the situation in Great Luzon and trying to show some performance in the morning of the future. Great Luzon was far away in Nanyang, so the sea traders and missionaries naturally became the first choice for inquiries.

The little things about Great Luzon were quickly spread out, and everyone then realized that the so-called Great Luzon was just a territory of the Spanish Empire overseas. Of course, they naturally asked clearly about the situation of the Spanish Empire.
