Chapter 274 The noisy capital

Li Guangdi's life was ups and downs. After a little twists and turns, he calmed down immediately. The Fourteenth Master gave him a big gift at the beginning. It seemed that today's conversation was extraordinary. After thinking for a moment, he knew why the Fourteenth Master came today. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. The old minister has no way to repay you. He will definitely tell everything and say everything."

Li Guangdi was cautious all his life, and he was acquainted with the monarch and ministers of Kangxi, and was both a minister and a friend, but he always only said three points. After hearing his statement, Yinzhen nodded slightly and put down his teacup and said, "The Spanish fleet disturbed my southeastern seas, but did not intend to attack our Qing Dynasty, but to fight against the Netherlands in the South China Sea. He specially condemned the fleet to come from the east to protect its Luzon Manila from being attacked. This time, the navy's Penghu victory was rare. I have condemned Lin Wei, Liu Zhisheng, two Han generals led 4,000 navy and 6,000 green camps to attack Manila. [The latest updates are all in the search.]

The emperor made a lot of remarks about this, and Lin and Liu must have a fierce battle with the Netherlands in Southeast Asia, and they may not be able to return home for a long time. This will make the emperor even more unhappy. I am worried that the emperor will have a rift."

Li Guangdi frowned when he heard this, why did he not return to the air? Does the Fourteenth Master have other plans? But this cannot be said explicitly. As for solving this problem, it is simple, how could the Fourteenth Master not think of it? Two Han generals, Kangxi was dissatisfied? This is the point. He himself is a minister of the Han Dynasty. The Fourteenth Master’s words are reminding that he is truly indistinguishable from Manchu and Han.

Li Guangdi knew that these words were just throwing bricks and jade. He pondered slightly and said, "Nanyang has been a place where Han people have moved since ancient times, and there are many Han people. The emperor's concerns are reasonable for the Fourteenth Master to do this. If he condemns him to the Southeast Ocean, he can fully explain the emperor's doubts. Does the Fourteenth Master have any concerns?"

"The fleet is transferred to the south again, which is even more apology for the emperor." Yinzhen said and explained the situation of the interview in detail.

After hearing that Yinzhen sent the captured Spanish fleet to Tianjin to form the Beiyang Navy, and planned to build a fort in Tianjin and train a new army of imperial guards. Li Guangdi couldn't help but secretly praised, "The Fourteenth Master is much smarter than the Prince, so that it can fully explain Kangxi's suspicion, and Kangxi will no longer be afraid of the growth of the navy."

However, when Li Guangdi heard that Kangxi set up a Navy headquarters, which was under the control of Yinzhen, and merged the four major navy into the navy, asking Yinzhen to bear the military pay privately, Li Guangdi frowned. Kangxi had always been very nervous about military power. Even the prince had never mastered such a large force. The Fourteenth Master was famous for being rich. What was Kangxi's intention?

It’s fine if the navy is expanded, but even if it expands, it will only have 20,000 or 30,000 troops. However, with the four major navy divisions, it will be more than 100,000 troops. Although they are all navy and navy divisions, can’t the navy be ashore? Moreover, Tianjin is only more than 200 miles away from Beijing. If you go quickly, you can arrive in two days. Kangxi feels so relieved to the Fourteenth Master?

When Kangxi heard that he had transferred Yinzhen to Beijing to practice court affairs, Li Guangdi understood that Kangxi was tempted. There were two possibilities for this statement. One might be that the Fourteenth Master would be the crown prince, and the other might be that the Fourteenth Master would be the throne.

If the Fourteenth Master is like the prince and has bad intentions, he will most likely be able to take risks. Moreover, Kangxi also gave him the capital to take risks - a 100,000 army!

If the Fourteenth Master had no intention of being ill, things would be possible to develop in a good direction. Judging from the fact that Kangxi was willing to spend such a great price to test the Fourteenth Master, he might indeed be interested in the Fourteenth Master. However, Li Guangdi dare not say this clearly. As the saying goes, Kangxi is the one time and another. But what about this idea? Three or five years later? Kangxi's health is very good. Who knows how long he can live? Not to mention that he has just this idea, Yinreng has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, but in the end he was forced to do so by Kangxi. The variables in this are too great, and Li Guangdi dare not speak out.

Thinking of this, Li Guangdi couldn't help but feel a little worried. He didn't know what the Fourteenth Master was thinking. He is now the flag bearer of the Fourteenth Party. If the Fourteenth Master is planning a rebellion, he will inevitably lose his worries. He glanced at Yinzhen and then asked tentatively: "Nanyang Navy, what are the plans of the Fourteenth Master?"

"The navy's artillery advantage will not last for a few years." Yinzhen didn't want to hide it from him, and immediately said: "I want to take this great opportunity to go to the South China Sea and the West will completely strengthen the Qing navy into the world's strongest navy."

Seeing Yinzhen blurting out, Li Guang thought to himself, thinking that the Fourteenth Master was confused by the authorities. It turned out that the Fourteenth Master had long seen Kangxi's intention and came up with a countermeasure. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be better that the Fourteenth Master had no intention of usurping the throne and planning to rebel, and this method was the most appropriate one.

The Navy was founded by the Fourteenth Master. Without a son of the imperial court, two Han generals, and the Fourteenth Master promoted it. The huge fleet wandered in Nanyang, and Kangxi could not control it at all, so naturally he did not dare to force the Fourteenth Master too much. Although he was healthy and healthy, the Spring and Autumn Period was already high, and the position of the crown prince could not be suspended for a long time. It would be delayed for two or three years. At that time, the Fourteenth Master had a strong navy as his backing, which could be said to have all the advantages.

Thinking of this, Li Guangdi couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart. The Fourteenth Master began to propose the navy and ocean fleet four years ago, and then immigrated to Taiwan and conquer the South China Sea. Could it be that since then, he had such a huge plan to compete for the stock market? This is too horrible.

After pondering for a while, Li Guangdi came to his senses, but he reached out to pour a cup of tea for Yinzhen and said, "Anxi is a tea-producing county. The old minister ordered people to return to his hometown to open a tea garden. In the future, he would rely more on the care of the Fourteenth Master."

After thinking about it, Yinzhen knew that Li Guangdi fully agreed with his thoughts. He couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Li Zhongtang can rest assured, tea will soon become popular in the West."

Two days later, news that the 14th Prince Prince Xun Yinzhen was about to develop Tianjin Wei spread in the capital.

Tianjin is not far from the capital, and it arrives in just two days after riding a horse and taking a car. As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation, and all kinds of news about Tianjin were spread out one by one.

Teahouses, wine shops, guild halls, and theaters in Beijing are all talking about:

"The 14th Master wants to rebuild the post road from Beijing to Tianjin. I heard that it is built according to the standard of three zhang wide. It takes five hours to reach Tianjin."

"Isn't the three-meter-wide post road wider than the street? Is it exaggerating?"

"Exaggeration? Is this stone street in our capital exaggerated? Do you dare to think about it before? This is what the Fourteenth Master suggested."

"Didn't this Shiban Street be said to be repaired by the Eighth Master? We're going to touch the Fourteenth Master again?"

"Dele, you're just a waste of time. Who doesn't know that the transformation of Beijing is the proposal of the Fourteenth Master? The Fourteenth Master alone paid 500,000 yuan in white silver."

"Tianjin built Naval Academy, built various factories and workshops, and recruited a large number of naval cadets," he said.

"I heard that the navy has a good meal and a high salary."

"If you go, you will know how to eat. Do you know the Navy's victory? The emperor rewarded him with great rewards and directly mentioned the deputy general and the general in charge from the soldiers."

"Impossible? Are you talking about books?"

"Tell me! Let me not talk about the relative generals who were the descendants of the royal family. Two of the three generals were ordinary people. They were promoted directly to the generals in one step. This has been spread all over the world. The fifth and sixth ranks were not counted."

"Ah! Then why are you studying? Go as a navy."

"The recruiting places have already burst."

"Latest news: The Spanish fleet seized by the Navy is coming to Tianjin, and the Fourteenth Master is going to hold a grand prisoner offering ceremony in Tianjin."

"Go and go, it has been spread all over the world, and the latest news is still there."

"Is it new to the news that the Fourteenth Master has recruited a large number of civil craftsmen to Tianjin?"

"For sure, but now there are notices posted on the streets and alleys, so what do you need to say?"

For a time, on the post road from Beijing to Tianjin, there were endless fast horses, horse carriages, mule carriages, and carriages. Three or five teams, more than a dozen hikes to Tianjin, and there were also many people walking on the water route. The rich went to Tianjin to find business opportunities, the poor went to Tianjin to take on work, and those who could not get in the capital could go to Tianjin to try their luck. All kinds of people rushed to Tianjin like waves.

After Yinzhen arranged all the matters, he hurried to Tianjin and chose to build the Naval Academy, the location of various military factories, shipyards, the location of surveying the forts, inspecting the expansion of military ports, etc. He ran around all day long, busy meeting people, holding meetings, and listening to reports, which was busier than when it was developed in Shanghai.

The capital city has not stopped. With the release of this issue of the Beijing News, the matter in Tianjin has faded. The trial of the tax on the tax in Guangdong caused another sensation. Because it was piloted in Guangdong, there were not many people who were concerned about it, and no one paid attention to the flag residents. However, all the land in the world, even the imperial villages had to implement the tax on the tax. After the news of tax payments according to the rules came out, the entire capital city was blown up.

The people of the Capital Banner entered Beijing from the first year of Shunzhi, and issued land enclosure orders three times in the first year of Shunzhi, the second year of Shunzhi, and the eighth year of Kangxi, which was basically abolished and banned land enclosures, and it was not until the eighth year of Kangxi that except for Oboi taking power, the land enclosures were basically banned. It was not until the 24th year of Kangxi that the land enclosures were completely banned.

The result of land enclosure is that most of the fertile land in the 42 prefectures including Shuntian, Baoding, Hejian, Yizhou, Zunhua and Yongping within three or five hundred miles near the capital were enclosed, accounting for more than 160,000 hectares and more than 2.3 million mu. The Eight Banners stationed in other places have also carried out small-scale land enclosures in Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Ningxia and other places.

Who doesn’t have thousands of fertile land for the ancestors? Even the embarrassing bannermen have hundreds of acres of land. How much money do you have to pay for this acre of taxes every year? This country was built by the people of the country, and the reform of the tax was actually turned over to them. As soon as the news came out, the crowd was immediately excited and cursed.

The spearhead was naturally directed at the fourth prince Yinzhen, who advocated the spread of the stakes. However, at this time, Yinzhen had already left Beijing and rushed to Guangdong. The panic people were looking for the banner masters of each banner. The princes and princes inquired about it to find out the truth of the matter. The princes and princes of each banner masters and princes of the clan also jumped in the mansion to scold the fourth prince Yinzhen. They had more land and suffered greater losses.
