Chapter 621 Reaction

The salaries of court officials must also increase! Yinsi and others were immediately excited. Their salaries were much higher than those of officials. They were the biggest beneficiaries. No one expected that Zhenwu would pay such a great price in order to promote the integration of Manchu and Han. Even if the Manchu officials were dissatisfied with this, they would not dare to make any complaints. Whoever dared to object would inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Yinsi hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor is a celestial object and sympathetic to his subordinates. It is actually a blessing for all officials and a blessing for all people in the world. I respect the sages and edicts."

Yinzhen also said hurriedly: "The salary of officials has not increased for many years. Once the news spreads, tens of thousands of officials in the Qing Dynasty will definitely thank God..."

Zhenwu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No outsider, don't make trouble for these false rituals." Then he said to Yinzhen: "Tomorrow is eighteen, it's great. I plan to reward all brothers tomorrow. I want to change the title of the Ninth Brother to "Rao". What do you want to do?"

Rao was rich. When Yinzhen heard this, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he quickly stood up and knelt down and said, "I respectfully thank the emperor for giving me a title."

Zhenwu smiled and said, "No business can live, no business, no wealth can be achieved without work, I have high hopes for you."

No business is alive, no work is not rich, Yinzhen immediately realized that Zhenwu wanted to make his prime minister business and military industry, and civilian work. He kowtowed excitedly and said, "I respect the emperor for his grace."

He heard that he would be rewarded tomorrow. Yinsi and his friends were secretly happy. Finally, they had hoped for this day. Yinsi and Yinsi were originally princes, but they were princes. There was no big suspense. However, Lao Jiu and Thirteen both were Beile. I don’t know if they were promoted to princes or directly promoted to princes? Even people were secretly speculating, but they didn’t dare to ask.

Yinsi and the other two entered the palace today, originally for the purpose of ceasing African priests. Seeing that Zhenwu was in a good mood at this time, Yinzhen bowed and said, "Emperor, the African priests, I have condemned people to go to various places to recruit craftsmen to explore and smelte gold mines. However, for the capture of black slaves, it is not suitable for the garrison. It is difficult for ordinary flag citizens to be competent. The fifteenth brother proposed to follow the public security rectification in the capital and carry out public security rectification in various places, and sent a group of idle gangsters to cheat and deceive people in Africa. To form a slave arrest team. I am very convinced of this matter, but I dare not make a decision and beg the emperor to make a decision."

Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile. Lao Shiwu learned it quickly, and this method is good. Using these gangsters as slave hunting teams can be said to be a perfect match for people. This move not only rectified the public security order in various places, but also obtained a powerful slave hunting team out of thin air, which is the best of both worlds.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "This discussion is very good and is allowed. However, it is limited to the six provinces of Liangjiang and Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang. There is no need for too many members of the African slave hunting team. One thousand is enough to be distributed to part of the Southeast Asian region. The development of Australia requires farmers of the Mughal Empire. For the members of the slave hunting team, they should increase their interest in catching slaves according to the commission of the slaves, so as to quickly form a scale."

Seeing Zhenwu's readily allowing him, Yinsi and others were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am the one who is honored." He raised his body, but Yinyu said in confusion: "Your Majesty, Shandong is surrounded by sea, and since ancient times, the people are fierce and illegal. The gangsters in Tianjin are even more famous, so why not rectify them?"

Zhenwu glanced at him and smiled and said, "I reserved the thugs in Shandong, Zhili, for the Japanese. The Japanese are familiar with farming and have a population of tens of millions. They are the best slaves to develop North America."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned. Japan is now a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. Why did Zhenwu still capture slaves in Japan? Yinxiang hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will cause criticism in the court and the country, and it may also cause panic among the various vassal states."

"It's not that the court came forward, so why would there be criticism?" Zhenwu said distractedly: "The coastal vassal states are just good in name. I don't like to have a false reputation, and the court should be more pragmatic. Besides, Japan is closed to the country, and the Qing Dynasty will monopolize Japanese maritime trade so that it will not cause panic among other vassal states. Of course, in order to prevent material discussions, let them change to a good name."

As he said, he changed the topic and said: "The navy will go out to conquer Africa in September or even earlier. Ghana's gold mining and slave hunting should be formed as soon as possible. The Eight Banners, Green Camps, and the officials' salary increase are expensive, and I point to Africa to fill it."

"I am honoring the order." Yinsi and the other four hurriedly bowed.

Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "Yeah, let's kneel down and rest."

After leaving the Yangxin Palace and passing Yuehua Gate, Yinxiang said to Yinsi: "Brother, I will go to the study room to talk to them about the green camp's salary increase."

Yinsi said slightly, "Stable military morale is the first priority." As he said that, he glanced at the three of them again and said with a solemn expression: "You can say anything about increasing salary, increasing salary, and increasing welfare, but the emperor's words to break the Manchu and Han territories cannot be disclosed at all."

"Don't worry, my brother, Thirteen understands the power of this." Yinxiang said, smiling and bowed, turned around and turned to the study room.

After the Thirteenth, Laozi left, the Jiujiu Yinzhen whispered: "Brother, now that the emperor has collected all military power, why should he be so cautious?"

"The Emperor said that eliminating the territory of Manchu and Han is not a one-day achievement." Yinsi said slowly as he walked: "Emperor Ama did not know that he had to rely on the Han people to govern the world. The series of measures taken by Emperor Ama, such as worshiping Confucius and Mencius, worshiping Confucius Temple, opening erudite and knowledgeable Hongci, compiling classics, traveling to Jiangnan, summoning famous scholars, and holding a banquet of thousands of old men last year. It was not that the official and civilians of Manchu and Han were not distinguished from those over 65 years old. All those who were over 65 years old could participate. The donation system was also intended to win over the Han gentry.

However, the Emperor Ama was limited to winning over the Han people and did not touch the status and interests of the bannermen. He did not shake the point of the manchus in the head. However, the emperor was different. The head promoted the Manchus in the navy without distinction. Now he introduced the Green Camp and the Eight Banners’ food and salary in the same way. This was to promote the integration of Manchus and Han in the military system. This move was tantamount to impact the status of the Eight Banners and shake the ancestor system of Manchus in the head."

Speaking of this, Yinsi lowered his voice and said, "How many people are we Manchus? If Manchus and Han are really integrated, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty become the world of Han people? Therefore, it is impossible to say that the Manchus and Han territories are eliminated at present, otherwise the royal family and princes and nobles will inevitably attack."

Yin Yi muttered, "Those old guys are more furious than monkeys. Once the news spreads, how can they not understand the true intention behind the emperor?"

"Tenth brother, there are some things that can be done or not." Yinsi smiled and said, "The emperor did not say it clearly. Who dared to stand up and advise? This move violated the ancestral system and was fundamentally aware of shaking the Eight Banners? If the emperor followed the flow and canceled the additional salary, salary, and welfare, what would that result? The target of public criticism is still a small matter, and there may be concerns about riots and soldiers causing trouble. The infantry commander's yamen has both green camps and eight banners, which is not a joke."

Yinyi couldn't help but realize that no wonder the emperor had increased his salary, salary and benefits, and made such a big noise, and he was trying to keep his mouth shut. After a moment of pondering, he said again: "Brother, the military power of each banner has been deprived of all the military powers by the emperor. How can they attack?"

"My Tenth brother has been in Shunyi Camp for a long time. He always thinks of soldiers. Even if they have military power, would they still dare to advise soldiers?" Yinzhen teased.

Yinsi smiled slightly and said, "Not talking about anything else, just moving out of the ancestral system is enough for the emperor to have a headache. Besides, the emperor is still alive."

Study room on the south wing on the east side of the Ganqing Gate.

The ministers in Shangshu's study did not dare to slack off in the past few days. Except for Fu Ning'an who also arranged disaster relief in Henan and did not return to Beijing, the other five people stayed in Shangshu's study without taking the time to do so. After the high pensions of Manchu and Han were published in the Beijing newspaper, several people felt that the storm was coming, and they were divided into attention to the comments submitted by various places, especially the Eight Banners and Green Camp generals stationed in various places.

As soon as Yinxiang arrived at the door, several eunuchs who were standing outside the gate hurriedly beat Qian'er and said, "I'm waiting to pay my respects to the Thirteenth Master."

The voices of the few people heard it were loud, and Yinxiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you paying me a blessing or informing me?"

Hearing the movement outside, the five people in the study room couldn't help but look at each other, all of whom expected that there was an order. They hurriedly sorted out their court clothes and stood up to greet them. When Yinxiang entered the door, the five people hurriedly left their seats to meet them. Yinxiang waved his hand and smiled and said, "Forget it, don't make these false gifts."

Zhang Penghong, Ma Qi and others couldn't help but wonder, was there no order? However, the few people did not dare to be negligent, but bowed and stood up. Zhang Penghong said in a deep voice: "Thirteenth Master thinks that the Caiyou saw it, does the emperor have an order?"

Yinxiang sat down casually and said, "Don't be polite, I'm just coming here and sending it out."

After hearing this, Zhang Penghong and Ma Qi and the other two sat down. Yinxiang glanced at the five of them and said, "The emperor asked me to discuss with the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Personnel. Come and greet me first so that you can have a clear idea." As he said that, he said Zhenwu's decree.

When he heard that the Green Camp's food and salary were raised and the Eight Banners were the same as the Eight Banners, Xiao Yongzao was shocked, and Zhang Penghui also frowned slightly. He was already having a big fuss and was pondering himself. Song Zhu had already spoken: "Thirteenth Master, how can the Green Camp's food and salary be the same as the Eight Banners? Isn't this going to be a mess?"

"It's just that it's the same on the surface. How can the welfare of the Eight Banners be compared to that of the Green Camp?" Yinxiang said with a smile.

"Welfare is just a secret subsidy, it is not just a good name, and it is not a good word." Song Zhu said fiercely: "The Green Camp and the Eight Banners' food and salary are the same as the Green Banners. Where does this put the Eight Banners' face?"

"Face is earned by oneself, not given by others." Yinxiang said lightly: "Songzhongtang is also an old military service. Not to mention comparing with the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, it is a judgment that is based on the new guards in Shunyi. Haven't you figured out why the emperor gave the same food and salary for the Eight Banners and Green Camp? Why are the food and salary for the New Guards and Green Camps higher than the Green Camps of the Eight Banners?"
