Chapter 82 Admiral of the Nine Gates

Ganqing Palace, Xihunting Pavilion.

After seeing the Jiang Customs list submitted by Yinzhen, Kangxi couldn't believe it. He looked at the article carefully again, and his face gradually turned pale. He slowly got up and walked around the room. Yinzhen collected more than 640,000 yuan in Jiang Customs in a year. Before, Jiang Customs' annual positive tax silver and Ying Yu paid only 66,000 taels together. Although this year, Jiang Customs designated Jiang Customs as the only gateway for cotton exports, it would not be an extra 600,000 taels at once. These servants who killed the sky were so greedy!

Li De saw that Kangxi looked bad and had already become very careful, but he was thinking in his heart that what happened to make Kangxi so angry. This master's cultivation skills are famous, and what can stimulate him so much? Today's memorials were brought by himself, as if nothing big happened. Could it be that it was the memorials of the Fourteenth Master? [.]

Kangxi took a few turns and his anger was mostly gone. Then he doubted whether the data of Qisi's fourteen became reliable. The gap was too big, so big that it was incredibly large. After the case was cut, he sat down again and carefully examined the list. After seeing that Jiang Customs paid 46,540 taels of salary for a year, he couldn't help but take a breath. This old fourteen is really generous. He is a high salary to support his integrity? But the salary is too high. It seems that the data should be real.

Should I be punished by the previous customs supervision? This thought flashed and Kangxi pinned it off. The purpose of governing leniently cannot be changed. After so many years of operation, it has finally come to a good situation today. We cannot exile the family with great fanfare, so as not to make those dirty officials think about it and make people panic. Administration is not the focus of the moment.

The list of cotton export shares was sent by Yinzhen in a secret message. Kangxi was stunned at first sight. He only had a cotton export specialty, but he actually made 3.62 million yuan in a year. This money is so easy to make? The raw silk and silk are also exported to the specialty. How much can it be in a year? He couldn't help but be beating. This old fourteenth is too profitable. The Ocean Fleet seems to be no need to worry about. The Ocean Trade Fleet's profits will be quite amazing in the future. However, after all, this is a competition for profits with the people. He sighed softly. In the future, the history books will probably be heavily recorded.

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is looking for a meeting outside." Li Dequan said carefully.

"Yeah, let him come in." Kangxi put down the list in his hand, but he was thinking about Lao Ba's purpose in his heart.

After Yinsi came in to pay tribute, he said, "Report to Emperor Ah, the renovation of the inner city is coming to an end and can be completed before the new year. My son came to ask for instructions. Will the outer city be renovated?"

Kangxi asked back, "Do you think the outer city should be renovated?"

"My son thinks it should be transformed." Yinsi had already considered it on the way here, "The gap between the inside and outside cities is too big, and it is easy to attract material advice, which not only damages the image of the capital but also damages the emperor's love for the people."

"Yeah." Kangxi nodded slightly, "Although there is a difference between Manchu and Han, they are all my people. Those who are the king must have a broad mind and ambition tolerate the world. They are favored by one and the other, but they cannot distinguish between them in terms of national policies, but in terms of people's livelihood. The people's hearts are accumulated bit by bit. This outer city must be rebuilt, and must be rebuilt according to the standards of the inner city."

"My son remember the teachings of Emperor Ama." Yinsi was happy. This was Kangxi's experience in governing the country. Such a pure teaching showed that he still had high expectations for himself. However, it was not the time to be happy. He replied calmly: "Emperor Ama, although the inner city has been renovated, the silver has been spent. The Emperor Ama allocated 100,000, the 14th brother donated 500,000, and the other brothers donated a total of 60,000, the ninth brother and the tenth brother, and the three of us donated another 60,000, totaling 720,000 taels. The conditions of this outer city are much worse than that of the inner city, and the silver required is probably more than one million."

Lao Sioux is rich. Kangxi changed his previous habit of frowning when he heard that he had to spend money. He said without hesitation: "You check it first and then make a budget. In addition, the design of the sewage in the Forbidden City was too smooth, and the sewage flowed poorly. It smelled bad in summer. You can make a budget together." As he said that, he sighed, "Lao Sioux didn't come back to celebrate the New Year last year, and it's time to come back to celebrate the New Year this year."

Yinsi was speechless immediately. No wonder he was so confident. It turned out that he had the idea of ​​attacking the fourteenth brother.

Chongwenmen, the infantry commander's yamen.

The commander of the infantry army, commonly known as the Nine Gate Admiral, has the first rank, and the official title is "Admiral, the fifth battalion of the Infantry Police" was established in the 13th year of the Kangxi reign and expanded in the 30th year of the Kangxi reign, and the patrol camps in the outer city of the capital and the suburbs of the capital were incorporated into the infantry commander's yamen. The conventional organization was horses and 22,000 infantrymen, which was the main guard force in the capital.

Its responsibilities are mainly responsible for the guards and access controls inside and outside the nine city gates in the inner city of Beijing (Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate), and are also responsible for night patrols, fire fighting, firing baojia, bans, arrests, and severing prisons, and maintaining social security inside and outside the capital.

This is a department with great power and terrifying power. It not only guards the nine gates of the inner city, but also goes far more than maintaining social security. The capital is divided into inner and outer cities, so the house license (real estate certificate) is also divided into inner cities and outer cities. The house licenses of the inner city are issued by the infantry commander's yamen. In addition, everything from real estate development to small sewers must be reported to the yamen, and construction can only be started after approval.

The Nine Gate Admiral Tuoheqi, Wanliuha, was born in a humble family and was originally from Prince An. Later, he was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He served as the custody of Guangshanku. He had a sister who was Dingpin of Kangxi. Dingpin had a son, Yinlu, or the twelve sons of the emperor. Yinlu was adopted by Su Malagu after he was born. He was smart and talented since he was a child, and he never formed a cliché. This was particularly appreciated by Kangxi. He had sent him to handle various government affairs many times. As Yinlu's uncle, his net worth soared and was trusted by Kangxi. He became the commander of the infantry in June of the 41st year of Kangxi.

Tuoheqi has been suffering since childhood, and is naturally extremely passionate about power and wealth. In his career, he received secret care from the Crown Prince Yinreng many times, and he followed Yinreng closely, which was the Crown Prince's Death Iron.

At this time, the entrusted Qi received the Minister of Justice Qi Shiwu, Qi Shiwu, Tong Jia, and a native of Zhengbai Banner in the signing room. After the 36th year of Kangxi, he served as the governor of Shanxi, the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Gansu, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the secretary of the Ministry of Justice. He was famous among the Manchus and was unparalleled in Qingming Festival. After he left the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the people of Gansu also established the Qigong Temple for him, which shows that he had a deep heart to the people in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Although Qi Shiwu was a Manchu, he was a well-read scripture and was a famous Neo-Confucian minister among Manchus. Like Wang Yu, the Minister of War, he had great expectations for the crown prince and was also a die-hard supporter of Yinreng.

Because of his special status, the prince was inconvenient to move around on weekdays and was afraid of arousing the vigilance of Kangxi. Therefore, the prince's party's centralized contacts were all led by Tuoheqi and Qi Shiwu. After the prince was restored, he deeply realized the importance of military power and hinted at him many times, and they also agreed with him.
