Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

It has to be said that Kangxi has suffered too much stimulation these days and has developed a certain ability to withstand blows.

Otherwise, this example alone would be enough to make him faint.

The princes were also confused: How much?

Eight million taels?

Oh, the Eternal Heaven! They were so envious and jealous of the fourth brother before, but in the end...

He is such a poor family?

The river transport, the livelihood of the Eight Banners, the relief of disasters in various places, military expenses, salaries, etc. Which one is not a big expense? What can a mere eight million taels do?

While they were puzzled, Yinxuan was also muttering to himself.

[In his later years, Kangxi pretended to be ignorant and let many rats go easily, which made the treasury empty and the government corrupt.]

[Poor Fourth Brother~]

[He ascended to the throne in a hurry, and was rumored to have assumed the throne illegitimately, and had to deal with such a mess. He could only confer the title of Prince Heshuo Yi on his beloved thirteenth brother and make him the executive vice emperor. The King of the Rolls and the Emperor of the Liver joined forces to establish China's first examination agency - the Examination Office.]

[He worked very hard to collect debts and crack down on corruption. He even directly brought in alternate officials to handle cases, and filled the gaps there. He showed zero tolerance for corrupt officials, and killed many people, leaving behind the infamy of being a confiscating emperor, before he finally stopped this evil trend...]

He was muttering in his mind with great relish, and the princes were horrified listening to him.

Good guy, really good guy!

The twelfth prince sold his belongings on the street, and the tenth prince's property was directly confiscated? He is indeed an emperor who confiscates property, not even his own brothers were spared.

The court officials below had no idea that the Eighteenth Prince was so supernatural. They only saw that the Emperor's face was becoming increasingly darker.

He immediately knelt down and apologized, begging the emperor to calm down.

Kangxi:......

It was so mad that it was smoking and there was no way to put it out.

At this time, most people had to pretend to be stupid, especially the future Yongzheng, who was in sharp contrast to the empty treasury and corrupt government in his later years.

But Yinzhen refused!

No matter how much the brothers fought to the death, the meat was rotten in the pot. What was the point of being bullied by foreign enemies to the point of almost destroying their country and race?

We must fight for this dignity.

To fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the situation at home and get rid of all the rats in the house.

With this in mind, he stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. Ling Pu's case involves such a large amount of money, it certainly did not happen overnight. The other officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not have been unaware of it."

"You mean..."

"I personally think that the emperor should order a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Bring the guilty to justice and clear the innocent to prevent them from feeling uneasy."

He did not even call himself a subject or a son. He only asked for orders from the perspective of a subject and simply focused on the rise and fall of the country.

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, the prince stood up and seconded the motion.

What kind of bannerman family is this? They deceived the emperor into their own hands.

But go to his grandmother!

Two hundred years was too far away, and he was powerless to do anything about it. But the cancer that could be found at the moment must be removed as soon as possible.

The other brothers also agreed with this.

The officials from their respective factions were so united in their hatred of the enemy that they were confused and had no idea what the prince they followed was up to.

Why don't they fight among themselves but instead compete to castrate themselves?

Ever since the Emperor appointed Ling Pu as the Minister-in-Chief of the Imperial Household Department, isn't that place infinitely close to the Crown Prince's private treasury?

However, the top leaders are the princelings, and the small bosses below are mostly from various bondservant families.

There are quite a few of the princes’ relatives among them, right? !

The ministers were confused, but Yinzhen was very excited: "What happened? What happened? Why did Fourth Brother suddenly go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Well, could it be that he had already seen the chaos, but never found the right opportunity to expose it. So he took advantage of Kangxi's father's anger and did it once and for all?"

[He really is, I'm crying!]

[No wonder netizens made harsh comments, saying that among the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Yongzheng was a good one. Nine sons competed for the throne, while others were playing the game of power. Only the fourth brother focused on the Qing Dynasty, working hard to clean up the mess for his father and save money for his prodigal son.]

[It's a pity that the step was too big. Not only did it cause trouble, but it also caused widespread accusations and led to the collapse of the government. It's a pity that the policy of allocating taxes to each acre of land and the taxation system for officials and gentry was so good.]

The tax rate is distributed according to the land area, and officials and gentry all pay taxes together?

Yinreng was used to the fact that there were too many complaints and they were too frequent. He could block out some of the content that made people angry and quickly extract useful content.

It must be good if my eighteenth brother can say something good about it.

After the court was dismissed, the father and his sons reunited while the eighteenth brother took a nap.

Others were still comforting the emperor, saying that although the eighteenth brother was a pillar of the country, he was still young. It was inevitable that he did not see things comprehensively and transparently, and was not fair. Khan Ama had been working hard for the Qing Dynasty for more than 40 years since he ascended the throne, and his sons had seen it all.

Yinreng had already pulled his brother in question to discuss the issue: "It's easy to understand the issue of tax distribution. Our Qing Dynasty now collects head tax. A family pays as much tax as the number of adults in it. It seems fair. But the same tax is a drop in the bucket for the rich, but it is hard to avoid breaking bones for the poor."

"Also, the number of people may increase or decrease, but the amount of land is fixed. If the tax on people can be distributed among the land, more people will be taxed, and less people will be taxed. This will increase the revenue of the national treasury while also reducing the burden on people with little or no land."

It would harm the interests of the rich peasants and landlords, but the Eight Banners Cavalry were no pushovers.

The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

It does work.

"But are you serious about the tax payment for officials and gentry?"

Yinzhen:……

How can he make the second prince believe that until they return to Beijing, he is still an ordinary and pure prince?

What he came into contact with and learned was how to assist the Khan and the future king in governing the world, rather than directly carrying out drastic reforms!

Will not.

No matter what you say, he won't believe it.

Even if you believe him, you still have to be on guard against him. After all, you can't allow others to sleep soundly next to your bed.

No matter what the process of the battle for the throne among the nine princes was, he was the winner in the end. His descendants destroyed the entire Qing Dynasty, which was his original sin.

The more the Eighteenth Brother praised him, the angrier Khan Ama and his brothers became.

It's simply a vicious cycle.

He couldn't escape or get away.

The Fourth Prince, who had been bullied these days, gritted his teeth and decided to go all out: "I have always followed the rules and worked diligently, and I have absolutely no intention of being disloyal. In the future, I will wholeheartedly and conscientiously assist Khan Ama and the successor chosen by Khan Ama."

"If this still does not reassure the Crown Prince and Khan, Yinzhen can still ask to cut off his three thousand strands of worries and become a monk. I will spend the rest of my life worshipping Buddha and praying for our Qing Dynasty. I hope that the Qing Dynasty can break the shackles of twelve generations and last for thousands of years."

"If that doesn't work, then please grant me the Three Treasures of Self-Suicide!"
