Chapter 424

When the eighth brother raised the number to 20,000, Lao Jiu and the tenth brothers felt ache. So, now, the four great eunuchs have lost half of the dividends in the year, but Yinzhen secretly scolded Lao Ba for being sloppy. When he mentioned 20,000, he must have hoped that he would save even 2,000 taels.

After a little while, Yinzhen said, "This is a happy event. Don't make the brothers unhappy. Please inform the brothers of the starlings to all the brothers. If you have any difficulties, I will give you a word. I will pay for everything. You guys have not been well off these years, so you can express your feelings...

In addition, there are only four sisters left, including Chun Xi, Rong Xian, Ke Jing, etc. Although they are far away in the south and north of the Mo, I also want to bring them to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor Ama. The ninth sister Princess Xujing is in the capital. I will tell you that, I will go to the Emperor Ama to ask for an order for the imperial edict.

As he said that, Yinzhen turned to Chen Yuanlong and said, "I will enter the palace later and ask the emperor for an order. This is a act of respect and filial piety. The emperor will definitely not refuse. After the beginning of the year, I will leave the capital. For the specific preparations for this birthday celebration, I will also have to trouble my brother and Chen Zongbo."

Chen Yuanlong was secretly happy and just planned the birthday celebration according to the rules. Therefore, it would be very beneficial to join the 14th Master. The Minister of Rites, Var, replied that he was the third prince, and he could rely on the 14th Master to be proud of his future in the 14th Master. Besides, the 14th Master is a famous God of Wealth. He paid for this celebration and could definitely be done with all sides and pleasing.

He was delighted, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed, and said calmly: "Preparing for a birthday celebration is the duty of the lower officials. The 14th Master is very helpful. The lower officials are very attentive to the members of the Ministry of Rites. I am very pleased to listen to the orders of the 14th Master."

After the seal, Kangxi also became leisurely. He wrote the word "Fu" every day and read the book. Then he walked around and handed over the signs in the palace. Kangxi wrote the word "Fu" in the Qianqing Palace. These words "Fu" written in the imperial pen were all rewarded to the royal family and noble ministers of the capital and the local officials. Although they were not valuable, they were supreme glory to the ministers.

For the royal family, noble ministers, and local officials in the capital, whether there is an imperial pen to reward the word "Fu" during the New Year, it can be directly linked to whether the holy family members are strongly linked to the local officials in the local government. According to the practice of many years, if you have not received the "Fu" reward the word "Fu" written by the New Year, you have to prepare to move the nest next year.

After hearing Li Dequan report that Yinzhen was looking for a meeting outside, Kangxi meticulously finished writing the word "Fu" and said, "See him in." As he said that, he put his pen and clean his hands, walked to the kang and sat down, sipped hot tea and thought about the purpose of Lao Sisi.

Yinzhen came in and kowtowed and said, "My son Yinzhen pays homage to Emperor Ama."

When he got up, Kangxi smiled and said, "Give him a seat and enjoy tea." When Yinzhen thanked him for his gratitude, he continued to ask, "Are you still busy with errands these days?"

"Returning to the Emperor Ama, I plan to leave Beijing at the beginning of the year to prepare for an expedition to Europe and America. The New Year is a good time, and the Emperor Ama has no time to clone it. Therefore, I am here to report before the New Year." Yinzhen bowed and replied.

Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "I will set the members of the envoys who will go to Europe before the New Year. In order to facilitate your actions, you can take the envoys away when you leave Beijing."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama, to be kind." Yinzhen then said: "I am about to hear that Emperor Ama does not allow a grand celebration. My son-in-law contacted a group of brothers to hold a grand birthday celebration for Emperor Ama to fulfill his filial piety and hope that Emperor Ama will allow him to do so."

It was because of this? Kangxi was slightly immersed in the air and said: "The construction of the expedition to Europe, America, the ocean-going fleet, Australian immigration, Tianjin, Manila, and Karoba does not require money. Although you are rich, you are just trying to support it. Why should you put the money on a celebration that is useless? If you have this filial piety, I will be very content."

When he heard Kangxi's words were so pertinent, Yinzhen had basically confirmed that Kangxi was indeed unwilling to hold a big celebration. However, he did not want to let go of such a good opportunity. After a moment of sinking Yin, he said: "Emperor, the expedition to Europe and America is not large, and all kinds of supplies are enough. Other expenses are not required to be completed in one step, and they are gradually invested in installments. The pressure from the son minister is not very large.

Moreover, long before returning to the capital, the son-in-law had reserved 2 million taels for the sixty holy life of Emperor Ama. The son-in-law was unwilling to consume the national treasury. The son-in-law and his brothers could handle it.

Furthermore, the celebration of the longevity is not useless. Millions of silver will not flow into the hands of merchants and the people. It can not only show the prosperity of the times, but also benefit the people, and also help the ministers with filial piety. In addition, the ministers are also preparing to take the opportunity to bring back several sisters who are married to the ancients to attend the celebration. I hope the emperor Ama will allow him to do so."

Kangxi smiled slightly when he heard this. The fourteenth old man was really thoughtful. Even his sister who married Méng Gu could think of it. This was also an opportunity. It would be better for them to go back to Beijing with their husbands and children. Australian immigration requires a large number of Méng Gu herders, so that they can go to Tianjin to experience the scale and guarantee of Australian immigration, and it is convenient for publicity when they go back.

The most rare thing is that Lao Shisi's intention is that he can still take care of those sisters who have no impression of him. Moreover, after his statement, holding a birthday celebration and building a garden has the same effect, which is thanks to his ability to speak well.

Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled and said, "You can always find enough reasons for what you want to do. I will just let you know. However, for this birthday celebration, I invite elders over 65 years old all over the world, regardless of officials and people, to come to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays. What do you want?"

When he heard Kangxi's permission, Yinzhen was overjoyed and said: "My Qing Dynasty governs the world with filial piety and respects the elderly is a virtue of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Ama's move is an unprecedented innovation, and it will inevitably shake the past and present and spread to future generations."

Kangxi did not expect that Yinzhen would associate this move with "governing the world with filial piety, and his evaluation was so high, which was beyond his expectations. He was not only very proud, but also full of expectations for this initiative.

Seeing Kangxi happy, Yinzhen hurriedly said: "Emperor, considering that Western learning has more and more applications in military aspects such as shipbuilding, steelmaking, ironmaking, firearms, fire, etc., as well as civilian aspects such as exploration and mapping, dam building, road building, bridge building, exploration and mineral exploration, etc., especially with the expansion of overseas places, various Western learning talents are urgently needed. Nowadays, not to mention Western learning talents, even mathematics talents and mixed learning talents are extremely short of them.

In view of this, I plan to open a charity school in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Xiamen, Jiangning, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places to recruit children of appropriate age, and to study Chinese and Western learning at the same time, to cultivate talents from the Qing Dynasty. I hope the emperor will allow it.”
