Chapter 369 Prodigal son

When he heard that Yinzhen wanted to go to Europe, the smile on Yinxiang's face froze immediately. The Fourteenth Old went, so what else did he do? But when he thought that the main purpose of sending troops to Europe was to fight land wars, the smile on his face quickly became brighter again, and he said excitedly: "Then I'll wait for good news for my 14th Brother."[.]

Yinzhen poured a basin of cold water, "Thirteenth brother, don't be too happy too early. The journey of 40,000 miles, the Emperor Ama will not allow us to go in person. Judging from the Emperor Ama's meaning, he is more inclined to the Second Brother."

Yinxiang carefully recalled the situation at that time and couldn't help but feel discouraged. Kangxi denied his elder brother and fifth brother, but he did not deny his second brother. He asked unwillingly: "The second brother has just been in a mutiny. Will the emperor be relieved to let him control the 30,000 navy?"

"Even if the second brother leads troops to fight against Europe, he will not be able to control the navy." Yinzhen said confidently, and then his tone changed, "Whether to send troops is uncertain, the emperor may not have considered the candidate for the troops at all, and I am also guessing." Speaking of the candidate for the troops, he not only sighed inwardly, the Qing Dynasty has now withered, and most of the famous generals of the Xi Dynasty have become ancient times. There are really no suitable generals in America when they go to fight against Europe.

Nian Gengyao is a talented man, but the fourth brother. If he doesn't completely defeat the fourth brother, he doesn't dare to reuse it. There is also Yue Zhongqi, but he is only in his twenties now, and his qualifications and experience are far inferior. The Thirteenth brother is good, but his body is really uneasy. How dare he let him go to Europe and America?

As for him, there is no need to think about it. Kangxi would never let him take risks. If Kangxi agreed to lead his troops to Europe, he would not have to go to Europe. He would directly occupy Southeast Asia and prepare to wait for Kangxi to die and rob the throne.

After thinking about it, Yinzhen really didn't expect a suitable general or suggested that Longkodo lead troops to America? He, the nine-sect admiral, probably wouldn't do it for a long time. It would be better to go to America to make military achievements and get a title. In addition, Fu Anding and Zheng Qingyuan are also good, and they may be a general. As for Yande, Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, Delga, and others, they are generals of the navy and cannot be transferred.

Yinxiang didn't know that Yinzhen had eliminated him long ago. He heard that Kangxi might not have decided on a leader in his heart, so he began to look forward to going to Europe again. He asked while walking, "Do you know if there are cavalry in Europe?"

"Of course there are. I heard that French breastplate cavalry is more famous in Europe." Yinzhen said casually. Seeing Yinxiang's expression of enthusiasm, he was afraid that the higher his expectations, the greater his disappointment, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Thirteenth brother, look, it will snow again this day. On the way to Beijing, didn't you say that there are many "hot pot" frozen to death on the streets?

Nowadays, I need people to immigrate to Australia. These refugees are frozen to death in vain, which is a big loss. After I return home, I have other important things, so I have to ask Brother Thirteen to worry about this.

Yinxiang's attention was immediately attracted, and he asked in surprise: "Fourth brother is planning to provide relief to them?"

Yinzhen nodded and said, "How can you not save me when you die? You can't spend a lot of money. It's getting late. When the Thirteenth Brother left the palace, he condemned people to contact Longquan Temple, Wanming Temple, Fayuan Temple, and other temples in the outer city, so that they could free up all the dormitory and lay Buddhist forests to store those who are "carrying hot pot" and provide some vegetarian food. I'll go and add incense and oil to each temple in a few days."

"This is a great merit." Yinxiang smiled and said, "I will go there myself. The 14th brother is famous now. As long as you mention the name of the 14th brother, this matter will be done."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "This is just a temporary solution. Not only the capital, but also many blind wanderings in other large and small towns. You have to find a way to deal with these people properly, otherwise it will be easy to get chaos when the situation is right."

"It's not easy?" Yinxiang smiled slightly and said, "As soon as they pass on the preferential conditions for immigration to Australia, they will naturally find ways to go to Australia. There are fields and land. Who would like to be blindly wandering?"

Considering that the annual leave would be "sealed" in a few days, Kangxi then sent an order to officials in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Zhili and other provinces to make preliminary preparations for immigration.

As soon as the decree was issued, the news of immigration to Australia quickly spread throughout the four nine cities. Then, all kinds of discounts for immigration to Australia were also spreading. When the people in the capital were talking, there were big gold mines in Australia, and the news of the release of mining bans overseas spreading one after another. The incident of Spain plundering 4 billion silver in the Americas was also exposed. At this moment, the entire capital was immediately as if it was a pot, and the matter of immigration to Australia was discussed everywhere.

Soon, the 14th Prince Yinzhen invested 50 million taels, and the plan to immigrate tens of millions of dollars in seven years also spread. As a result, the news of the nationwide implementation of acne vaccine vaccine law and Jiangnan's trial of low-interest lending, but these two news quickly became overwhelmed by the hot discussion of tens of millions of dollars immigrating to Australia.

It is not uncommon for the imperial court to organize immigration. The famous "Jiangxi Filling Huguang" in the Ming Dynasty, which is now continuing, is also a big deal, but compared with immigrants to Australia, it is pale in comparison. It is simply a witch. However, the most talked about is that the court spent 50 million taels to immigrate to Australia. Is it worth it?

The focus of the discussion among the princes and ministers was Yinzhen's financial resources, building the Ocean Fleet, lending at low interest rates, and immigrating 50 million taels. How much wealth does this 14th Master have?

The next day, there was no need to meet him. Yinzhen slept in a full sleep. After getting up, he changed clothes and washed up by the four maids before going out. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. Yinzhen couldn't help but worry. He didn't know that the Thirteenth Old Man could have settled the "hot pot" yesterday.

After accompanying Hai Ruo and his concubines to have dinner, he came to the study room, drew a few sketches, and then took a few guards out of the mansion. He did not dare to delay in the mansion for too long to avoid being blocked in the mansion.

People in Beijing use stoves for indoor heating. The stoves can be divided into three types: mud, iron and copper according to their texture. People in plains cannot afford to burn charcoal, and they usually burn coal balls. Yesterday, Yinzhen deliberately used a stove to burn coal balls. The coal balls were slightly larger than table tennis balls, but the fire was not very strong, and it was inconvenient to change coal.

The "Tan Ji Mud Furnace" in the south area of ​​the outer city is the most famous among the capital furnaces. The Tan Ji Mud Furnace is made of pot-kick wood, with strong heat penetration and easy to move. It is also considered a time-honored brand. Even with heavy snow, the business of the "Tan Ji Mud Furnace" is particularly good. The shopkeeper Tan Caijun has been happy all day long these days.

Tan Caijun was only in his early thirties and was slightly thin. He was kind and smiled without saying anything when he saw others. He looked like a natural shopkeeper. He sold more than 20 stoves this morning. He felt happy and surrounded the stove and sipped hot tea waiting for the guests to come.

The thick cotton curtain at the door was lifted open, and a man stretched his head in and looked around carefully. Tan Caijun's eyes were sharp-eyed, and he could see at a glance that the person's hat was a hood that was rising step by step. He quickly stood up and gave the clapper a wink. Unexpectedly, the man shrank back again, but lifted the curtain like this, and a cold wind immediately poured in.

Isn't this intentional spoof? The guy's face was a little uneasy and his smile was a little stiff. Tan Caijun was shocked and did not dare to be negligent at all. He respectfully waited in front of the door curtain, and he did not forget to wink at all.

Yinzhen walked in steadily in a casual outfit. As soon as he entered the house, Tan Caijun bowed and said, "The shop is honored by the distinguished guest." As he said that, he instructed his friend, "Go quickly and take out the Longjing and the tea set I have treasured."

Yinzhen glanced at Tan Caijun, then turned around and looked at the guard who lifted the curtain. Then he took a step. Tan Caijun was agile and said while giving up his seat, "Young master is good at controlling his subordinates. At first glance, he came from a wealthy family. How dare you ask about his surname?"

After hearing his secret explanation, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile. Those who can be the shopkeeper have some eyesight. After pondering for a moment, he said reservedly: "I call me Master Long."

Tan Caijun was unsure. Such a noble young master came to his small shop where he sold stoves, it was impossible for him to buy the stoves? He asked carefully: "Young Master Long came to the store in person, I don't know what instructions he had. The young man must do his best."

"I heard that the stove in your store is authentic. I have a new stove style here. I want to ask your store to make it. I don't know if it's feasible?" Yinzhen said with a smile, and then spread the sketches on the table.

A new stove? Tan Caijun was confused, but he still looked down with a smile on his face. This stove is not strange, but the place in the wind gate is a bit strange. How can I change the coal balls so small?

Seeing that Tan Caijun had suspicious face, Yinzhen asked with a smile: "You only make mud stoves in your store?"

"Young Master Huilong, Iron and Copper Furnaces are all made." Tan Caijun replied respectfully.

"Since that's the case, then don't bother the second master. This mold for making honeycomb coal will be made together in your store." Yinzhen said as he spread out a sketch and said, "This honeycomb coal and coal stove are the same. I'll order you two taels of silver first. Can you make it tomorrow?"

Tan Caijun looked at the drawings, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

"Five liang! It will be completed before noon tomorrow." Yinzhen said casually.

Is this meeting with the Eight Banners? It’s really a prodigal son! Tan Caijun was secretly happy and quickly responded, but Yinzhen said again: “You better call the craftsman and give some details.”

Taking advantage of the gap that the craftsmen have not arrived, Yinzhen asked with a smile, "I heard that the recent reform of industrial and commercial taxes in the capital has an impact on you? Is it good or bad?"

Tan Caijun glanced at Yinzhen suspiciously. Did he be wrong? This doesn’t look like a prodigal son, and he doesn’t look like an official at the age of an official, so why did he have an official accent? He is a child of a Manchu official?
