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

Hearing the endless praise, Kangxi and the other princes were all numb: After all, your fourth brother is the best, right?

No matter what, you can praise me again and again!

Yinreng, who has been trying to build a good relationship with him since he was outside the Great Wall, is still jealous because he is still sympathized with others.

I still remember it while feeling sour.

Be ready to copy others at any time.

cough cough.

Put aside the shamelessness for now. Just remember that all actions are based on the basic principle of the Qing Dynasty. Anything that is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty should be recorded, and they will be unfolded one by one.

For example, the previous confiscation of the Imperial Household Department and the settlement of debts in the national treasury.

There is also the reorganization of the Eight Banners which is about to begin.

In this regard, Yinzhen's thoughts were similar to his.

That's why he shouted those outrageous words when he saw Yinzhen coming. I thought the little guy would follow his words and think about the rest, but he didn't expect him to praise him for a while.

At the critical moment, Lao Jiu also added his own private words: "Are you crazy? How dare he say such treasonous words? Khan Ama beat him up!"

[Pfft~ It seems that the unofficial history is not all fabricated, at least the discord between the four and nine is true!]

Kangxi:......

Afraid that he would take advantage of the situation and hit him, Xiao Shiba started to complain in his heart that raising a son was like raising a poison. For the sake of the chair under his butt, he almost killed all of Jiulong.

So even though he looked furious, he did not hit anyone.

He just glared at him coldly and said, "Let him talk. I want to see what he can say today."

Yinzhen bowed with a straight face: "I obey your order."

Then he began to use his professional advantages working in the Ministry of Revenue to start reporting the expenses one by one.

From the birth to the death of a bannerman, the imperial court needs to issue silver, grain, rice, cloth, land, houses, etc., one by one. During the Shunzhi period, when the Eight Banners just entered the pass, how many bannermen and how many adults were there.

How many bannermen and how many people are there now?

How much does the imperial court spend on the Eight Banners every year, and how much does it account for of the court's annual income?

And at what rate is it increasing?

"At this rate, within a hundred years, the expenses of the Eight Banners will account for more than half of the court's income, which is more than the expenses of the Ming Dynasty's royal family."

This made Kangxi and the other princes gasp, but in Yinzhen's view, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

The imperial court provided preferential treatment to the Eight Banners.

Bannermen did not farm or engage in business, and most of them could not pass the imperial examinations.

Minors relied on the silver issued by the imperial court to ensure their basic living. After reaching adulthood and passing the assessment, they joined the army and received generous salaries.

This is what people jokingly call the Eight Banners' iron-clad crops.

But the number of soldiers is limited, but the number of newborns is unlimited.

Now there are some men who cannot fill vacancies after they turn 16 and can only stay idle at home.

There are many people who are idle, not to mention all kinds of problems.

Can these people who are used to being idle be good soldiers when they fill vacancies in the future?

Just filling in the numbers.

and also……

Yinzhen listed all the disadvantages he could think of one by one.

Kangxi was silent, and the princes seemed to be thinking about something.

Yinxuan's eyes sparkled as he clapped for his fourth brother: "Awesome! You are worthy of being the Emperor Yongzheng! The other princes fought to the death, and came up with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. Only he worked diligently for the Qing Dynasty, thinking so much and so far ahead. ]

The reputations of the other princes were damaged, and they looked at Yinzhen with a bit of resentment.

But Yinzhen was so focused on cheering for his fourth brother that he didn't notice it at all.

Kangxi smiled and scratched his nose: "Little fellow, can you understand what your fourth brother is saying? You are cheering and clapping like that, as if you will support him no matter what he says."

snort!

Yinzhen pouted and puffed out his belly: "Khan Ama, don't judge others through the cracks in the door. You look down on your son. I am also your eldest brother who has attended court, listened to government affairs, and accompanied you to review many memorials."

"I am worried about the country and the people!"

"How come you don't understand?"

"Oh?" Kangxi looked unconvinced and said like teasing a child, "Then please tell us, Eighteenth Prince, what did your Fourth Brother say? Was it good? Why was it good?"

[Hey! A three-hit combo. If you don't agree to hit me, you can ask the shaman to exorcise the evil spirits, right?]

[Blocking both ends, what a vicious strategy!]

[Hehe, luckily I am a child, so I don’t need to reason with others, and I can blame others without any pressure!]

Kangxi:......

What kind of vicious image do I have in your eyes?

The other princes were shaking from trying to hold back their laughter.

So, Xiao Shiba is not only the auxiliary star of the Qing Dynasty, but also the star of Khan Amak, right?

right?

Yes, yes.

After complaining, Yinzhen threw himself into Kangxi's arms and said, "Khan Ama, you don't keep your word. You clearly promised to give your son a holiday. But you are such a great emperor, but you don't keep your word!"

"I……"

"Okay, okay, you are Khan Ama, the master of the world, and the one who loves his son the most. Even if you are a scoundrel, your son will not blame you. But I have only been in school for a few days, so I don't understand what Fourth Brother means. But he mentioned so many numbers and so many reasons, there must be a reason."

"Why don't you scold him? Why don't you take him out and spank him?"

There are many words, and I believe them.

I believe it even more if my brothers didn’t cause any trouble and you didn’t hit anyone!

[Hehe, all kinds of jokes, the main point is to be unreasonable. Insist on the basic principle that even if you want to curry favor with someone, you can't expose yourself too much. Otherwise, it's not a big deal to be splashed with dog blood, but it's all over if you are roasted on the fire! ]

Kangxi:......

I don’t know whether to praise him for his intelligence or laugh at his naivety.

I was thinking that today's performance was in vain.

So he waved his hand and said that this was a serious matter and they would discuss it later.

[No, what else can be done about this?]

The princes and extras saluted and were about to leave the stage one after another, but they heard Yinzhen's voice of disbelief.

Okay!

Although the flowers you planted with care did not grow, the willows you planted by accident grew into a shade.

Why are you still going? Listen carefully.

Everyone stopped walking in unison, and heard Yinzhen's inner voice bursting like beans: "If we want to make progress, the unfair system must be changed! While the Eight Banners are not rotten to the core, we must cut them down and chop them down with lightning speed. 】

[The bannermen who have less than 10,000 soldiers cannot fight, and those who have more than 10,000 soldiers cannot fight. How long ago was that? After entering the Shanhai Pass, the Eight Bannermen lived a life of luxury, and their bones were softened by wealth and honor. From the Three Feudatories Rebellion to the Three Expeditions against Galdan, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Bannermen dropped faster than a slide, and they were almost like the Jinyiwei in the late Ming Dynasty.]

[Really…]

[The old and weak were still in the army to collect salaries, while the young and strong had nothing to do. They could only go to the imperial court and carry bird cages. In the later period, they even went to the opium dens to smoke. They destroyed their bodies and lost their wealth. Countless gold and silver flowed into the hands of the enemy and became their guns and cannons to attack the Qing Dynasty. Wait! ]

Yin Xuan frowned: "If I remember correctly, an imperial decree was issued in the early years of Yongzheng to ban opium. Now it's the 47th year of Kangxi. Has that harmful thing already flowed into the Qing Dynasty? Ah! The Western medicine Delhi Yaga contains opium. Kangxi's father hasn't started taking it yet, right? ]
