Compared with Kangxi, the American vestige was simply to write a blank check. Therefore, he was also very generous. He enfeoffed thirty-two people for the first time, four people in a group, a total of eight groups. In order to prevent the future situation of the vestige from becoming too big, he tried his best to balance each group, and stipulated that the number of people leading each enfeoffee to go to sea cannot exceed 800.

After listening to Yaer Jiang A's brief introduction to the situation of Kangxi's feudal division, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel funny. Isn't this another copy of the Eight Banners? However, there are 24,000 people, and they can really show their strength in the Americas.

After Yaer Jiang A finished speaking, Prince Yu Baotai complained: "Only 800 people can go out to sea. How big can this feudal country be?"

After pondering for a while, Yinzhen glanced at the eight people left behind, and then slowly spoke: "Third brother, this is the first year. I still think there are too many people. Have you ever calculated the supply? Take the Port of Acapulco as its foothold and transit station. This supply will take one year to deliver.

Normally, each person eclipses one liter of rice every day, and consumes three stones and six dou of fish per year. The strong soldiers must prepare at least six stones, 25,000 people. The rice alone costs 150,000 stones. How many ships do you need? Twenty large sailboats with more than 1,000 materials, do you have that many ships? Don’t bring me a small boat with four hundred materials, such ships are not helpful to go to sea."

Yaerjiang Ahan smiled and said, "Fourth brother, we have raised a total of eighty sailing ships with more than a thousand materials, blessed ships, black ships, and red ships. I wonder if it is enough?"

Eighty ships! Yinzhen was shocked very much. Forty-eight years ago, the people did not allow three-masted sea ships to be built. Even if some maritime merchants secretly built them, they were mostly in the name of the countries of the South China Sea. The number was really small. How could they collect so many large ships? They were originally expected to fund them ten ships, but unexpectedly, they were still rich.

Seeing Yinzhen's expression in disbelief, Yaer Jianga explained: "Since the fourteenth brother built the ocean fleet, the people have started to build large ships secretly. After the news of the Qing Dynasty's ocean trade fleet came out, it has even caused a sensation. It's not that there are no ships, but that we don't have money to buy them. It's too expensive, and it has risen to 130,000 per ship. For these eighty ships, we have already lost everything."

Yinzhen was not interested in listening to his complaints. He was thinking about how to make the most of these eighty large ships. Conservatively estimated, and ten large ships could be vacant. He pondered a little, and then said: "After consolidating the port of Acapulco, you still have to go north and south to find a suitable foothold. I believe that the foothold you chose must be an unmanned land with fertile land and abundant water and grass. There is no need for too many troops. Twenty-five thousand soldiers are completely useless. I think 15,000 is enough. The remaining 10,000 will be replaced by farmers and herdsmen.

The land of America is vast and rich. It is an undeveloped virgin land. You must first establish a foothold in survival before you can develop and expand. If you find a suitable foothold, the first thing you face is survival. Therefore, you must bring more farmers and herdsmen, and carry more seeds. The north and the south are all a little more complete. In addition, you can try to carry a small number of cattle and horses for breeding.

In addition, in the short term, the Port of Acapulco is the lifeline of the American countries. First of all, the Port of Acapulco must be consolidated. It is not possible to have soldiers stationed alone. A large number of farmers must cultivate to gradually ensure logistics supply. Therefore, you must use your ships to carry 5,000 immigrants."

When several royal family members were unhappy when they heard that Yinzhen wanted to occupy the sea ship they bought for a lot of money, they were unhappy, but no one dared to speak out. It was unimaginable that they would not have the support of the overseas 14th corpses.

Prince Xianjin Yanhuang glanced at the few people, feeling quite disdainful. He just requisitioned a few boats, as for such a dilemma? He said immediately: "Uncle Fourteenth is very saying. If the Port of Acapulco is not consolidated, the supply of soldiers of the American ban country will not be guaranteed in the short term. Without Uncle Fourteenth, there will be no American ban. Not to mention a few boats, no matter how many, we must support it."

When Prince Xian Jin Yanhuang was the first to express his opinion, no one was willing to fall behind. He immediately agreed. Seeing this situation, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh that these guys were even more stingy than the old sting in Shanxi, but they had to beat them up.

After a little bit of his head, he said: "Most of the Americas are now Spain's territory. At present, we should not seize their territory. After all, America is closer to Spain, and our troops and equipment cannot keep up for a short time. It is very unwise to go to war with Spain in the Americas at this time.

Therefore, after consolidating the Port of Acapulco, we must go north and south to avoid Spain's territory. This will greatly alleviate the conflict with Spain and prevent the Spanish from counterattacking the Port of Acapulco at all costs.

In addition, no matter in North America or South America, once you have gained a foothold, you must immediately start opening new routes. North America's routes from Japan to Qing Dynasty and South America directly open to Australia. Of course, if Australia is consolidated, I will also arrange people to open routes from Australia to South America. Tianjin or Shanghai to North America will also open routes from North America."

Overseas bans are inseparable from the Qing Dynasty in the short term. Opening up routes is not only conducive to the allocation of foreign capital, but also conducive to the transport of troops or obtaining protection from the navy. Therefore, no one has any objection to the navigation development.

Yaerjiang A pondered for a moment before saying, "Fourth brother, how can we avoid Spain's territory and how can we distinguish the boundaries of Spain?"

The Americas are vast and sparsely populated. Although European countries are competing for colonies in the Americas, they probably do not exist. Yinzhen hesitated and said: "The boundaries of the Americas are difficult to define. Whether it is those who go north or those who go south, after sailing along the coast for half a month, you can find good ports along the coast and the river flows into the sea. Of course, the place where you stand cannot be a bitter and cold place, and the plain with convenient irrigation is the best."

When he heard that Yinzhen returned to Beijing, the eighth son Yinsi, the ninth son Yinzhen, the tenth son Yinyi, and the Han Secretary of the Ministry of Rites Chen Yuanlong also took the time to visit the mansion. Kangxi issued an order to hold a large number of orders. Now the scale of this birthday celebration has long exceeded the previous expectations, so we naturally have to report this to the fourteenth son.

The four of them fell into a sedan chair in front of the gate of the Prince Heng's Mansion. As soon as they got out of the sedan chair, they saw eight sedan chairs at the door. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts. They were all busy now, but they had no time to waste their time. Seeing that the old horse came to pay their respects, the eighth prince Yinsi asked with a smile: "Who are you here, how long has it been?"

After the old horses greeted the masters, they stood up and said respectfully: "Go back to the Eighth Master, it is Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A, Prince Xian Jin Yanhuang and other eight princes. It has been more than half an hour."

When they heard that it was these people, the four of them understood that they must be talking about the American feudalism. For most of the time, in Lao Sisi's style, it should be almost done and it won't take long.

Old Shi Yinyi said carelessly: "Since we are talking about the cemetery, let's go and listen?"

"I'm not interested in joining in the fun, and we don't have the share." Lao Jiuyin said lazily: "With this time, it's better to drink tea and nourish our spirits."

Speaking of the fact that he was not destined to be banned, Yin Yi couldn't help but feel depressed and muttered: "I really don't know what Emperor Ahma thinks, why don't we give our brothers the opportunity to ban overseas?"

"What are you complaining?" Yinzhen gave him a blank look and said, "The fifth brother and the other three are depressed. I haven't seen them like eggplants made from frost during this period."

When Yin Yi thought of the expressions of the fifth brother and the other three, he wanted to laugh. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to put this matter on.

Yinsi knew in his heart that the reason why Kangxi did not grant the princes was to prevent them from accumulating power overseas. He could only think about this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. He was lazy to mix it up, just smiled and said, "I have been very tired these days, let's go in and chat." As he said that, he took the lead.

The four of them entered the mansion and had just arrived at the second gate. When they met Yinzhen who sent Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A and eight others out of the mansion, they couldn't help but have another greeting. Baotai and others knew that Yinsi and the others were busy in the past few days, and they exchanged a little greeting, and then said goodbye.

After Yinzhen led the four people to the study room and sat down to serve tea, Yinsi smiled and said, "Fourth brother, after you left the capital, the Emperor Ama summoned us again and said that since it was a grand ceremony, it would simply be a grand celebration, inviting elders from all over the world to promote the education of the Qing Dynasty, and to show the prosperity and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty to the envoys, accompanying ministers, missionaries, and merchants outside the capital.

The Ministry of Revenue issued an order to allocate another 2 million yuan. This year's birthday celebration has just reached this scale. This is our first time in handling such a grand celebration. The 14th brother will take a closer look tomorrow to see if there are any omissions."

No wonder it was so luxurious. It turned out that Kangxi had this idea and such a great celebration. Once the elders who came to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays returned, the prosperous Qing Dynasty would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It not only helps to appease the people, but also helps to promote the orthodox Qing Dynasty. At the same time, it can deter the Qing Dynasty and all European countries.

It is not difficult to imagine that all the envoys, missionaries, and foreign merchants who are fortunate to participate in or witness this great celebration will pass on word of mouth, or even write down the text to send it back to their own country. This is both a luxury and great power and a long-term pursuit.

Kangxi's abacus was so good that the money was worth spending. Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said, "The emperor's holy thoughts are far-reaching, far-sighted, and looking at the overall situation in everything is really amazing." After a pause, he continued, "Since it is a celebration of the ages, there are naturally no omissions. The public security in the capital should be strengthened, and all inns, teahouses and restaurants should not take the opportunity to raise prices, and the environmental sanitation cleaning inside and outside the capital should also be strengthened.

The most important thing is to take care of the elders who come to Beijing from other places, including accommodation, food, travel, and health. They must be condemned every day. They not only come to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Ama, but also promote the prosperous Qing Dynasty and the example of governing the country with filial piety. In addition, those with poor family backgrounds should be given appropriate subsidies or gifted to the ceremony.

In addition, foreign envoys, accomplices, missionaries, and merchants also need to conduct statistics and arrange for them to participate in the celebration. For them, this is the supreme glory. With this glory, they are more willing to preach." (To be continued)
