Chapter 76 Kangxi's Eccentricity
Zu Yuntu's passionate and generous words were like a dose of stimulant, which immediately stimulated the princes and ministers of the dynasty to be extremely excited. They all excitedly opened their eyes and raised their ears. Zu Yuntu was a sensible figure recently, and the impeachment of the Governor of Liangjiang, Gali, why didn't people excited? This Gary is a saintly family. Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing impeached him. Although Kangxi published it in the newspaper, he did not comment. And it took several months to delay Zu Yuntu's impeachment.
Yinsi's heart was terrified. Zu Yuntu was a member of his Eighth Prince Party. Why didn't he hear any news in advance for such a big thing? Did he want to make a name for himself or someone instructed him behind his back? When he came forward, everyone would think that it was my order, and it would be unfair to blame him.[.]
When Yinreng saw that Zu Yuntu really jumped out, he was secretly happy and glanced at Lao Ba. Seeing that the gloomy face could drip out of water, he felt comfortable all over, allowing you to taste the slightest feeling of taking the blame.
Yinzhen was thinking about choosing a suitable opportunity. When he saw Zu Yuntu jumping out to impeach Gali, he hurriedly stood up, "My son Yinzhen has the foundation to report."
Kangxi was considering Zu Yuntu's impeachment, but when he saw Yinzhen jump out again, he said calmly: "Authentication."
Yinzhen cheered up and said loudly: "Food is the foundation of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. If the food prices are unstable, the people's hearts will fluctuate and the local area will be unstable. Jiangnan is the fundamental land of the country. A large amount of rice flows overseas, which not only leads to high prices of grain, but also promotes the greed and bribery in Jiangnan, which also damages Emperor Ama's love for the people. The sons suggested that the court orders to prohibit rice from going to sea, and vigorously punish the unscrupulous merchants who collude with local officials to resell rice to sea to calm the hearts of the people."
"I'm going to discuss it." However, Grand Secretary Chen Tingjing took the lead in stepping forward, "Prince Yong's proposal is very good. Forbidding rice to go to sea can also curb the supply of sea pirates from the root, which is a killing of two birds with one stone."
"I'm following the proposal." Xu Yuanzheng, the left censor of the Censorate, followed closely. "Zhang Yuanlong colluded with bribes local officials, corrupted the court's customs, and corrupted the court officials. He should be punished by the family and asked the emperor to put him in prison and investigate him strictly, and he would like to make a clear punishment to face the truth."
"My comments are attached." Then several ministers came out and agreed.
Yinreng had communicated with Yinzhen. Seeing that the ministers supported him, he was delighted. He quickly seized the opportunity and turned around and bowed and said, "Emperor, my fourth brother's discussion is very good. Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing is honest and skillful in government affairs, and attaches importance to people's livelihood. My son suggested that Zhang Boxing investigate and punish Zhang Yuanlong, such a tyrant who harmed the country and the people, and vigorously rectify and regulate overseas trade ships."
The eighth prince Yinsi was anxious when he heard this. This was obviously for the 14th brother, but what they said was reasonable and could not be refuted at all. He was just worried, but when he heard them mention Zhang Yuanlong again, he couldn't help but be happy and hurriedly stood up, "Emperor, it was not prohibited before reselling rice. I feel that the case of Zhang Yuanlong should be carefully considered."
Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen with praise, and glanced at Yinreng, "It is very good to prohibit rice from going out to sea. Crown Prince Yinreng and the fourth son Yinzhen, together with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice, draft a reply to the specific details and regulations."
"Son ministers (husbands) respect the order."
Kangxi then turned his eyes to Zu Yuntu, who was still kneeling, and then glanced at Yinsi. When he took back his gaze, he stopped on the crown prince Yinreng for a while before speaking: "Gali, the governor of Liangjiang, ignored people's livelihood, fined his salary for one year, accepted bribes, pretended to be public and private, and colluded with officials and businessmen to resell rice for personal gain, and the two of them investigated the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Pengsheng and the scholar Gamintu. The fourteenth son Yinzhen rectified and regulated the overseas trade ships." He did not mention Zhang Yuanlong at all.
It was said that Zhang Pengsheng and Gamintu were sent to investigate, but Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but the crown prince Yinreng felt that he was fooled by Yinzhen and had not been slapped in the face like this for a long time. It seems that it would be better for anyone who had something to do with the Fourteenth.
Hearing that Yinzhen was asked to rectify and regulate overseas management of trade ships, Yinsi couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the Fourteenth would not be implicated this time.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he looked at Tong Guowei again, "In the case of the deficit of Caodou in the Ministry of Revenue, Tong Guowei was guilty of misinspection and was dismissed from the elderly. Xifuna was dismissed from his post and Mu Helun was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." After pausing, he continued: "Fujian Governor Xu Sixing, who is unable to serve, is dismissed. Fujian Governor is short of governor, Zhejiang Governor Huang Bingzhong was appointed as Zhejiang Governor Wang Duzhao.
He was a bachelor of the school and a bachelor of the Ministry of Rites. Chen Yuanlong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, served as a lecturer in the lecture hall of the imperial lecture."
Crown Prince Yinreng and eighth son Yinsi were both shocked. They had no time to weigh the gains and losses of their respective forces. They were all secretly wondering if Kangxi's series of transfers of senior officials meant that there were any new moves?
Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, Kangxi said again: "The eighth son Yinsi, the ninth son Yinzhen, and the tenth son Yinzhen were diligent and cautious, and were rewarded with double salary."
Yinzhen was always puzzled. Wu Sidao said that Emperor Ama was fishing, which fish was he fishing?
Shanghai.
Although most of the buildings have not been completed, the entire prototype of the Naval Academy has been revealed, including large and small training grounds, dormitory groups, canteens, teaching buildings, and open-air swimming pools, which are scattered along the river ten miles away from Honggang. The entire college covers an area of 40 acres.
Every day, there were a series of new recruits who rushed to Shanghai. The royal family members who had been married for many years quickly retaliated against the group of new recruits who had just arrived. Even Yinzhen couldn't bear to see them, but he kept instructing the kitchen to make better food to ensure that they could see meat every day. He also mobilized 300 guards to come and patrol strictly to prevent deserters from appearing.
What made Yinzhen most happy was that many famous families sent their children to serve as navy. He knew that this was entirely due to the royal title and the exemplary role of these more than 200 royal children. This group of people is cultured, has good physical fitness, has a broad vision, and has a great influence in the local area. He knew very well that talents who stood out from this group of people will become the backbone of the Qing Navy in the future. For these groups of children, he established detailed files one by one.
Bai Lihua has also sent more than 30 white people to Yinzhen in the past few months. Due to the good Catholic foundation in Shanghai and the support of Yinzhen, his fundraising and church construction were smooth, and Catholics were also growing steadily, which made him full of gratitude to Yinzhen. He assured Yinzhen that around May next year, at least two hundred craftsmen of all kinds would arrive in Shanghai.
In late September, the court sent Zhang Penghong and Gamintu to investigate the case of Gali accepting bribes and the case of collusion between officials and businessmen reselling rice for personal gains spread to Jiangnan. The atmosphere in the entire Jiangnan officialdom changed immediately. Everyone began to be cautious in their words and actions and wait and see carefully. Once they stood in the wrong team at this time, it would be useless to struggle for the years.
Seeing the diary, Zhang Mengjiao felt relieved, which made Yinzhen feel a little strange, "Jiaojiao, how come the matter is coming, but you relaxed, but have a solution? Don't have a secret fun by yourself and say, "
"I'm laughing." Zhang Mengjiao stood up lazily and said with a smile: "I've been prepared to bear the worst result. Now this result is much better than I expected, so I naturally relaxed a lot. Gali only fined his salary for one year, which means that his saint's family is still there. Not only did the 14th Master, the saint, not only did he not punish you, but he ordered you to rectify and regulate the overseas trade ships. It can be seen that the saint's official unintentionally investigated this case. If he deliberately investigated it, the 14th Master will not be able to escape the charge of "inappropriate employment" and at least he will have to be fined a year."
