The prince looked out of the courtyard with his eyes for a long time, sighed, and said, "The fourth brother has extraordinary knowledge, but he is not without extremes. If the country does not use one style of materials, how can it abolish people because of things? In the future, there must be such a person, who cannot be rejected and can be recommended for trial. Don't let the villains use it to make a mess. With that, he got up and said, "It's almost time, why don't you have dinner here and then leave?" The two of them were willing to eat here, and they got up and quit.

The prince read the paperwork for a while, rested for a while, and then took He Zhu'er with a fishing rod to the sea to fish. The year he was born, it coincided with Wu Sangui's rebellion, according to the ancestral family law of the Qing Dynasty, he did not set up a prince, but in order to set the hearts of the people and consolidate the country, Kangxi made a decisive decision to make him the prince. His mother, Empress Hesheri, had a childhood sweetheart with the young Emperor Kangxi, and she was the granddaughter of the minister Sauron, who presided over the six palaces in good order, and later died in childbirth, so Kangxi has always regarded the prince as the pearl of his palm. And the prince has always been kind and amiable, and he also works very hard in studying and practicing martial arts, and he has always been very loved by Kangxi. But since Suo Etu's accident, the prince obviously felt that Kangxi treated him differently, although it was no different from before from the outside, but the eldest brother, the third elder brother, the eighth elder brother and others, all of them are dragons among people, the most refined, they have seen that Kangxi and himself are on guard, and they are all planning to covet the prince's position. He is not stupid, he is already aware, but even in this position, it is not easy to deal with these brothers blatantly. He knew very well that although the eldest brother and the fourteenth elder brother both had their own ambitions, they would probably be the wings of the eighth elder brother in the end. The third elder brother didn't hum or ha, he was favored by the emperor Amma, and took a group of people to study the history of Confucianism. Only these four elder brothers and nine elder brothers, he is confident that they have no ambitions, and Huang Ama has always only regarded them as complementary talents, so the prince's loyalty to the two of them has never doubted, he sent Zhu Tianbao to run an errand with the fourth elder brother, and he also wanted the fourth elder brother to make this merit, his face was bright, and he could also block the eldest elder brother's muttering that the prince was "courageless".

The prince casually looked at the fish drifters on the water, the fish stocked in the water were very easy to catch, and he caught more than ten of them after a while, but he didn't kill, and for each catch, he asked He Zhu'er to change the bait, and after playing, he still put them in the water.

And after the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother resigned as the prince, they went back to their respective homes.

The fourth elder brother returned to the mansion and plunged into the study to think about what he was going to do with this errand? The country's financial state has an account in the fourth elder brother's heart, or a deficit account, and on the account he can see, the country has income, but the collection cannot catch up with the fast spending. After the victory of the pro-expedition to Galdan, it should have been recuperated, but the river work has been repaired for several years, and it is the focus every year, and this project costs a lot of money! Also, Huang Aman's southern tour is not only the money to welcome the driver, but also the honor guard of the people and horses in Beijing! Every time I go on a southern tour, the places where the holy car usually walks are exempt from rent and tax, regardless of whether it is the arrears of those old bad debts that cannot be collected or the new taxes this year, they will be exempted. The most prosperous places in the country have almost gone, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which have always been the world's most taxed places!

And when the country is bigger, there are many situations, which year will there be no disaster? This year it's here, next year it's there, and there's no place to stop anyway. It is sensible to let the central government reduce taxes, and even more people who add to the chaos also ask for disaster relief. Also, the greed of officials at all levels has become the norm! How could these four elder brothers not be counted? In the 43rd year of the Kangxi reign, the nation's taxes were not more than 50 million silver, and these taxes had to pay for the expenses of the entire clan, the salaries of officials at all levels, the expenditure of various projects, the one-year disaster relief budget, the salaries of the bannermen, the salaries of the officers and soldiers, and occasionally the local bandits needed to be suppressed...... The surplus is almost none! Moreover, there are all kinds of deficits that have been accumulated. The fourth elder brother remembered that he had read the accounts of the previous household department, which supported the eight years of fighting the three feudatories, and the first few wars with Galdan, and the war burned so much money, and they all survived. And now if there is a little more war, the fourth elder brother thinks about it, and the finances may not be able to hold it. How many years has it been? In the early years of Kangxi, the whole country seemed to be thriving! In twenty years, it has degenerated like this! The more he thought about it, the more solemn his face became, and then he recalled the scene of today's visit to Huang Ama, and he knew very well that Huang Ama was currently going to maintain stability, the old man, he liked the peace of the world more when he was old, but ...... Alas! It's hard!

Brother Jiu also recalled in his own mansion that maybe everyone has an expectation of the country, hoping that the country will get better and better, and evolve more and more according to their ideals. The difference is that some people work hard to achieve their dreams, some people really just dream, and some people keep expressing dissatisfaction. Huang Ama is a man with ideals, and he is so fortunate that he has the resources to build the country according to the blueprint he designed. The division of the Manchu and Han dynasties, which is indeed the division of the banner and the people, has been used as a basis for countless times to emphasize not to forget the martial style of the ancestors. Efforts should be made to eliminate the risks around them, to pacify the three feudatories, to take over Taiwan, and to exterminate Galdan, and culturally to make a sign of sagehood, and firmly encircle the Han intellectuals through the imperial examination. The most important thing is the idea of the power structure, the prince is in the middle, the eldest brother is the auxiliary master of the military, the third elder brother is the main text, and the fourth elder brother is going to do general affairs, and at the same time, it is necessary to let the elder brothers grow up as nails into the eight banners (it is necessary for the elder brothers to be sealed into the flags when they become adults, that is, there will never be a royal family with high-level titles in the upper three banners, and they are all sealed into the flags as the masters of the big and small flags. There is no prince who stays in Shangsanqi. The eight banners are divided into upper and lower, but it does not mean that the upper three banners are more noble than the lower five banners, and there are many capable people in the lower five banners. This is the joint-stock system. For Huang Ama, who has been an emperor for decades, the desire to control is getting stronger and stronger, if he doesn't want to grab more shares in his hands, then it's not him, the by-product of centralized power - he wants to master everything, and Brother Jiu is drunk when he thinks about it.

According to the current form, what Huang Ama should do is to check the deficit, clear the officials, and open up the source of wealth. Either of these is a daunting task, and determination and intensity are sufficient conditions, especially for the first two. And the third item, the world pays taxes is actually the poor Han people, the flag people do not pay taxes and receive money, don't expect to have financial contributions, tax the flag people? Hehe. All the famous scholars don't have to pay taxes, and if the fame is a little higher, the whole family doesn't have to pay taxes, most of them are rich! What if they were to pay their taxes together? Hehe. We have always valued agriculture over commerce and did not encourage the development of commerce. Take trade as an example, although there is a customs office and there is a gold income every year, overseas trade is actually in surplus, but the scale has been limited to death, and this part of the money is very small...... These questions are messing up in my mind, where do I go from here? (To be continued.) )
