In the temporary long shed on the post road in the north entrance of Yangcun Town, Tianjin Customs Supervisor Hai Shan, Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie, and Tianjin General Du Chengsi led a group of officials from Tianjin City to await the arrival of the 14th Prince, Prince Xun, Prince Yinzhen.

It was noon, and the sun was as hot as fire, and there was no wind. The temporary long shed was like a big steamer under the scorching sun. The officials were dressed in their official uniforms meticulously. Although they kept shaking their fans, they were still sweating and heavy clothes. Many people muttered in their hearts, is this Fourteenth Master having any problems? He was rushing to the scorching sun at noon!

Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, knew that the military situation in the South China Sea was urgent. Yinzhen left the capital, so Kangxi condemned the minister of the study room, Ma Qi and the imperial edict rewarded the navy. Ma Qi took a boat to Tongzhou and took a waterway. The Fourteenth Master was going to be in front of the imperial envoy for the imperial envoy, so he led his army to rush forward in the scorching sun.

Zhao Hongxie was dismissed by Kangxi for failing to provide relief to the victims of Tianjin and helped Yinzhen to provide relief to Tianjin. Although Yinzhen was in the capital, he ordered the "Four Great Hengs" to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to him for urgent use. Although the victims have stabilized, the post-disaster reconstruction is a bottomless pit. The quality of the victims is directly related to his position, and he has no choice but to worry about Yinzhen's arrival. He is the most looking forward to it.

Hai Shan, the supervisor of Tianjin Customs, was waiting happily. Although the prince’s mutiny did not win the lottery, he was praised by Kangxi to provide relief to the victims of Tianjin. I believe the Fourteenth Master would also look at him differently.

However, a group of officials from Tianjin City were a little uneasy. The one who followed the Fourteenth Master was also an imperial envoy who supervised Tianjin affairs - Shi Shilun, who was a famous honest official.

Seeing that the development of Tianjin had begun, all Tianjin officials were ecstatic. This was a rare opportunity to make a fortune. However, Kangxi sent Shi Shilun to Tianjin. Shi Shilun was impartial in enforcing the law, being honest and honest, not afraid of the powerful and diligent in civil affairs. This is well-known to the government and the people.

It's fine, but what they couldn't stand the most was that Shi Shilun benefited the people in every way, but he was extremely strict in his subordinates. It was already crazy that he had the opportunity to make a fortune but could only stare at him. He also had to worry about the story of the matter. This life was simply impossible to live.

A group of officials whispered while shaking their fans, but saw a rider galloping towards him. The rider rolled down in front of the long shed and said loudly: "Report——, Master Futai, Prince Heng's team is less than five miles away."

"One mile and one report." Zhao Hongxie ordered in a deep voice.

After two quarters of an hour, Yinzhen led the three thousand navy troops to Yangcun and saw a large group of people from afar. Under the leadership of Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie, the officials faced the scorching sun and all of them were complaining. However, when they saw that the navy was neatly in shape and the army was solemn, Yinzhen also rode a horse, everyone stood up straight.

Tianjin General Du Chengsi couldn't help but be shocked and thought to himself that it was said that the Fourteenth Master is good at training troops, and the navy is really different. There are few generals who can share the joys and sorrows with their soldiers like the Fourteenth Master. It is not because of the navy's strict discipline.

After waiting for Yinzhen and Shi Shilun got off the horse and stood still, the officials kowtowed neatly under the leadership of Zhao Hongxie, "I would like to invite the Holy One."

"Sage, Gong An." Yinzhen replied lightly.

The crowd stood up and greeted Yinzhen and the two princes Yinlu again. After the gift, Zhao Hongxie wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled and said, "Fourth Master, the sun is poisonous, it's not too late to take a break and rush on the road. Today, I will definitely enter the city before dark."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao for your kindness. The army is temporarily stationed. There are many inconveniences. Let's go into the city and rest again."

"All food and temporary camps are arranged, Lord Zhao has already arranged it." Tianjin General Du Chengsi smiled and said, "It's so hot that people can't bear it, right?"

"In this way, let's take a rest for an hour." Yinzhen was not pretentious and rushed to the scorching sun, and his physical strength was indeed consumed a lot.

"The Fourteenth Master is going to rest, but he will not lead his children to the temporary camp." Du Chengsi bowed and went to make arrangements.

"The 14th Master, the 16th Master, the 2nd Master, the 2nd Master, the 2nd Master, the 2nd Master, asked." Zhao Hongxie bowed and bowed and said, "The emperor has prepared a banquet in front and have a short break."

The banquet was set up in the back hall of a large courtyard, which was extremely cool. A few people washed up and sat in sequence. When everyone sat down, Yinzhen said, "It is not advisable to drink wine during the march, so this drink will be spared. Arrived in Tianjin in the evening, and I have other military affairs. After the navy will announce the order tomorrow, it will start. Time is tight. Now that people are gathering together, I will talk about it in detail.

Dear everyone, Nanyang, Australia, and overseas vestige are closely related to ports. As the largest port in the north, Tianjin must be developed quickly and the canal transport will also be diverted to sea transport. Tianjin will be prosperous unprecedentedly. It is precisely because of this that the emperor condemned Lord Shi to come to Tianjin to take charge of Tianjin affairs.

Tianjin's development focuses on four aspects: ports, fort defense, water and land post roads, and urban planning and construction. I have already written a detailed plan and you will discuss it later. I will not repeat other aspects. Fort defense is the top priority. Tianjin is too close to the capital. If Tianjin is lost, the capital will be in danger.

Lord Zhao should not only limit himself to disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction. Tianjin's development will drive the development of Zhili. You must use Zhili's power to support Tianjin's development and do it in a solid manner. At that time, I will ask you to speak well in front of the emperor. In addition, I have talked to the emperor that Zhili will be restored to his position as governor, and I hope you can grasp it well."

After a short speech, Haishan, Zhao Hongxie, Shi Shilun, Yinzhen and others were shocked. The canal transportation was changed to sea transportation and the governor of Zhili was renamed!

Zhao Hongxie hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, thank you for your advice, I will do my best to do my best."

Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "The voice of Lord Shi loves the people is well known to the government and the people. If you are in charge of Tianjin affairs, I do not consider harmful to the people. However, you must consider everything from a long-term perspective and start with arrogance. Don't always stare at my money bag.

I only allocate one million taels per year for Tianjin development, including various naval construction projects, which is limited to three years. The rest is your own way."

Shi Shilun was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Fourth Master, are you forcing your subordinates to harm the people? Tianjin wants to build ports, forts, Naval Academy, major factory workshops, and also build post roads. One million, and it is not enough to plug the gap between teeth. Two million! A big son cannot be missing! Otherwise, the subordinates will resign!"

Haishan, Zhao Hongxie, Yinzhen and others were stunned when they heard this. This Shi Buquan is really well-known. How dare he talk to the Fourteenth Master like this?

Yinzhen didn't like this at all and said leisurely: "I love to say no, I don't have any money, and I don't have more than one big son."

When Yinzhen was competing against each other and refused to give in, Haishan and the other two became interested. They all looked at Shi Buquan. How did he react?

Although Shi Shilun was ugly, he was extremely sensitive. He was slightly stunned. He immediately stood up, bowed and bowed, "The emperor is ignorant, please give me advice."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "You are famous all over the world for your integrity. You have been in charge of the local area for many years and have benefited the people. I ask you, have you ever served as an official and benefit the people?"

"The lower official is ashamed." Shi Shilun pondered slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Enforce the law impartially, be honest and honest, and be diligent in civil affairs are the basic principles of officials. Deciding lawsuits and banning, persuading farmers to relieve corruption, combating cunning and eliminating traitors, and promoting education are the basic duties of officials." Yinzhen said jokingly: "These are insignificant. I believe that an official must be able to improve the living conditions of the people in the same place before he can be called a good official.

There are many honest officials in this dynasty, but it is hard to find good officials. Why? It is because they are not good at economics. Everyone loves money, but they are ashamed of talking about business. This is a disagreement and different words and deeds.

I ask you, which kind of honest official who is as poor as a pure official, a rich official, and a pure official who can improve the living conditions of the people?”

"Of course it's the latter." Shi Shilun said without hesitation.

"You are a pragmatic honest official." Yinzhen smiled and said, "I wrote a note. You go to Tianjin's "Four Great Hengs" to borrow 2 million taels of silver and give you five cents of interest. Can you solve the funding problem?"

Zhao Hongxie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Now the normal loan on the market is five cents, and it is just about lending and collecting interest rates. The interest of two million is one million a year. Shi Shilun pondered for a while, but hesitated and said, "What is the Fourteenth Master meant to buy land?"

It seems that the government sells land with great origins and there is no need to give in to it at all. Yinzhen smiled and said, "Selling land is naturally profitable and not to lose money. However, you are responsible for the development of Tianjin and have a bank. There are too many places to make money. As the saying goes, one person is short of intelligence and everyone is smarter. You can recruit some talents who are good at business to give you advice. However, it is better to be cautious when using the master."

"The lower official is taught." Shi Shilun bowed excitedly.

Yinzhen said with a smile: "The Sixteen Articles of the Holy Ordinance issued by the Emperor is the foundation for officials to govern the local area, and benefiting the people under the rule is the goal. The court not only needs honest officials, but also capable officials. Only when they are both pure and capable can they be good officials."

Zhao Hongxie was stunned when he heard this. The Fourteenth Master is now calling for the crown prince. If nothing unexpected happens, he must be his. Once the Fourteenth Master is appointed as the crown prince, his request for officials today will inevitably form a new atmosphere in the officialdom. It seems that in addition to hiring a master in the future, he will also ask an aide who understands the economics, otherwise it will be difficult to keep up with the situation.

It was not until the lights were held that Yinzhen led three thousand naval troops to Tianjin. Fortunately, Wuge, who was stationed in Tianjin, and Tianjin General Du Chengsi, had already arranged in an orderly manner, and the navy was disciplined in strict discipline. After entering the city, he went directly to the barracks next to the Martial Arts Hall in the city, without any noise.
