Everything is the same, and what you can't get is always the best. The more you refuse to accept Yixue, the more attractive it is, so that many people stay at the door of Yixue, asking for the children to be sent to school every day, which makes Bai Ziyun and others dare not leave the yard at all.

When Yinzhen brought Bao Fuquan, Dachun and others to Daer Hutong, Bai Ziyun, who had already received the news, had already brought all the children and husband to the entrance of the Hutong. Seeing this situation, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh and cry. This situation was too familiar, and only one child had to hold another bouquet of flowers in his hand. No wonder the teacher asked us to welcome the leaders to check in this way. It turned out that there was a tradition. He cursed "breathless" in secret. He waved Bai Ziyun over, "Hurry up and let the teacher and children go back to start classes normally, and there is no need to do these forms." [The latest updates in search are all here.]

Bai Ziyun didn't expect that he flattered and slapped the horse's hooves. He immediately asked the gentlemen to take the children back with him, and then rushed over to pay his respects. Yinzhen did not blame him, and casually asked about the situation of Hope Yixue.

Baiyun Mountain briefly summarized the situation in the past six months and focused on the rejection.

After listening to Bai Ziyun's report, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel silent. He hoped that the scale of Yixue was only planned by three or four hundred people. Now he had 400 people. He was indeed overcrowded. He had money, and there was no problem in expanding. There were spaces around him. The question was Kangxi's attitude. Will the expansion cause Kangxi's rebound? After all, under the guise of cultivating surveying and mapping talents, although Kangxi studied Western learning himself, he had an opposition to the folk learning of Western learning. After hesitating, he said, "Kuost the original state for the time being, and I will talk about it next year."

After inspecting the men, Yinzhen went back to his own Beile Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he realized that Zheng Shichang, Min Ming and I had been waiting in the mansion for a while. After thinking for a while, he ordered, "Call Min Ming, I first."

Since I joined Yinzhen, my status among missionaries has increased. He is very concerned about every move of Yinzhen now. After coming in to see him, he briefly reported to Yinzhen about the situation of missionaries in the capital and Guangzhou.

When I heard Min Ming report that the missionaries in China were recruiting a large number of craftsmen, sailors, and Western scholars in Europe, Yinzhen was happy and encouraged him with warm words.

Regarding Zheng Shichang, Yinzhen put forward many requirements, asking him to pay attention to the selection of talents and the implementation of the system, and not to relax in the improvement of papermaking and printing. In addition, he also asked him to try to make silver coins according to the standards of one qian, two qian, five qian, and one liang.

After sending the two of them away, Yinzhen rushed to the palace. Since he planned to leave Beijing tomorrow, he naturally had to leave Kangxi.

As usual, Kangxi summoned Yinzhen at the western warm room of Qianqing Palace.

After a routine greeting, Kangxi inquired about the situation in Shanghai in detail. Yinzhen thought that he must have eyes and ears in Shanghai, so he naturally did not dare to hide it at all, and reported everything truthfully.

Kangxi was very focused. After Yinzhen finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I have read the customs system you formulated. It has strict rules, meticulous and comprehensive, rigorous management, and effective supervision. It is very good. I want to promote customs across the country. What do you want?"

I'm so faint, do you think I offended fewer people now or what? The national promotion will cut off the financial path of many people. Those customs supervision and general manager, who are not your close ministers, promote now, and don't put me on the fire? Thinking of this, Yinzhen calmly replied: "Go back to the emperor, no matter how perfect the system is, it is implemented by people. Whether this system works remains to be verified. My son thought it would be better to try it in Jiang Customs for one year first. First, let's see the effect, and second, it can also cultivate a group of talents. If it is promoted nationwide in the future, it will not be a wicked monk chanting scriptures - good scriptures will also be chanted wrongly."

"What a crooked monk chanting scriptures." Kangxi laughed, "I have been there for less than half a year and I have learned it so smoothly."

"The Emperor Ama always meets the ministers seriously. Being able to smile with Emperor Ama is also a filial piety of his sons."

"Sweet words." Kangxi cursed with a smile, but he was in a good mood. This fourteenth old man not only made money, but also had outstanding talents. He only proposed the Agricultural College last year, and a customs system emerged this year. This is all about national policy. What is even more rare is that this filial piety has given me a lot of worries. Every son is like him, so life is much more comfortable.

After taking a sip of tea, Kangxi continued, "If you can make this customs system work, you should have a comprehensive consideration for the customs across the country. Don't hide it, pour it out and listen to it."

I am here to say goodbye today, why did I come out of such a big article in the customs? Yinzhen sighed in secret and frowned slightly and said, "Emperor, the customs matter is very involved. I am not yet mature in my consideration. Rong Erchen goes back and thinks carefully and writes a memorandum to present it. Is it okay?"

"It's okay, I'm free now, let's talk about it first." Kangxi still smiled, but did not intend to reveal this topic.

Seeing Kangxi insisting, Yinzhen had no choice but to slander a few words in his heart, so he had to speak: "In the past century, the Western navigation and shipbuilding technology has been a thousand miles a day, and the transaction volume of sea trade has also expanded year by year. When the ocean fleet and ocean trade fleets of our Qing Dynasty were launched, our sea trade will surely show an amazing prosperity. With the development of sea trade, the tax revenue of customs must have risen. The original intention of the customs system was to find that Jiang Customs accepts bribes and private evasion, tax evasion and other phenomena are too serious. Conservatively, it is also estimated that 30% of tax revenue will be lost, which is a huge loss to the Ministry of Revenue and the Customs.

The son-in-law has a preliminary idea to assign the customs to the Ministry of Revenue, establish the General Administration of Customs, and provide vertical leadership for all customs across the country, and the customs officials are assigned by the Ministry of Personnel. In this way, it will greatly alleviate the current tight treasury situation."

In history, 25% of the customs income has been transferred to the Palace Office of the Internal Affairs. Every year, each customs also has a fixed amount of funds to the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support the operation of the royal finances. Customs supervision, the local governors at the four customs locations also pay a lot of tribute every year. Among them, Guangdong Customs is also known as the "Son of Emperors". It can be said that the four customs are actually the "small treasury" of the royal family. This is directly involved in the vital interests of the royal family, which is equivalent to invisibly cutting off the "small treasury". How dare Kangxi speak easily? After pondering for a while, he asked quietly, "When this happens, will the Office of Internal Affairs be lost?"

Yinzhen replied leisurely: "Emperor, the tax bank received by the Ministry of Revenue, and the specific distribution ratio is naturally the Emperor's Sacred Heart. What I am worried about now is another problem."

Seeing that the so-called reform did not involve his own 'small treasury', Kangxi was completely relieved and asked curiously: "What else is there?"

Yinzhen said jokingly: "Since the opening of the sea, the trade volume has increased every year. Since I sold more goods and bought fewer goods, this has led to a large amount of silver flowing into the domestic market. The large inflow of silver is a good thing in the short term, but over time, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the ratio of silver to copper coins, which will stimulate prices to rise. In the end, the people at the bottom will be affected."
