When Yongzheng got the news, he felt full of depression, he really didn't want to lose the award one after another at this juncture, especially Shi Shibiao is of great significance to Fujian, without Shi Shibiu, if you want to suppress Zhu Yigui and other rebels, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

"Shi Shibiao has been working for a long time and has worked hard. The coastal naval division is extremely proficient in camp affairs. Jane is the commander and is conscientious. When the Taiwan bandits stole the outbreak, they dispatched officers and soldiers to cross the ocean in person, repeatedly defeated the thieves, and made the place tranquil, which was deeply commendable! The important place of the sea frontier, the correct information, suddenly heard that the star fell, and I deeply mourned!

"Give the prince Taibao, and give mercy to the example. 10,000 taels of silver borrowed from the treasury of the feudal domain, and he shall not be allowed to repay it. He was buried in Fujian and where his wife stayed, and did as requested. Sacrifice and burial are like ceremonies, and they are called brave fruits. ”

At the same time, who to send to take over as the admiral of the Fujian Navy has also become Yongzheng's current trouble, he really doesn't want to send another waste, and when the time comes, it will ruin the overall situation of quelling the chaos.

The chief university scholar Ma Qi stood up, "Emperor Qi, the slave thinks that now that Taiwan is in turmoil, it is necessary to send a person who is familiar with Taiwan's geographical features, and this person needs to be good at managing the army to be able to take on this important task." ”

When Yongzheng heard this, he was interested, and said curiously: "Since the scholar said so, there must be a ready candidate?" Please tell me as soon as possible. ”

Ma Qi didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, so he lay on the ground and said: "Slave courage, there is indeed a good candidate at present, who may be able to take on a heavy responsibility." This person's name is Yao Tang, and he is now the governor of Guangdong. ”

Yao Tang .....

Yongzheng desperately recalled in his mind, he seemed to have some impression of this name, "Guangdong Admiral Yao Tang...... This person is Yao Ken'an, who was the chief military officer of Fujian Taiwan ten years ago? ”

Ma Qi said with a smile: "Emperor Qiqi, it is this person. Although Yao Ken'an is a native of Shandong, his military registration is in Fujian, and he has been in the army since he was 20 years old. ”

After such a reminder, Yongzheng was hooked in his mind, and he smiled: "I vaguely remember that Yao Tang was in Gubeikou at the beginning, and it was from Gubeikou that the imperial examination was in charge of the Mongolian Galdan expedition. At that time, the stone box camp at Gubeikou served as a guard for the imperial examination, and Yao Tang was the head of the stone box camp. ”

Ma Qi sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect the emperor to remember that decades have passed." ”

"Since this person has been the chief military officer of Fujian Taiwan, I think he knows a lot about the geography of Taiwan, and it is appropriate to transfer him now, but this person is also quite old......

Thinking of Shi Shibi, who had just hung up, and then looking at this Yao Tang, who was not too young, Yongzheng was a little hesitant in his heart, but at present, the entire Qing Dynasty generals were not in charge, and it had become an imminent problem.

"That's it. Now, as long as the situation is stabilized first, the rest is easy to say. ”

"Scholars and others: Fujian Admiral Shi Shibiao died of illness, this shortage is very important, and the Guangdong Admiral Yao Tang made up for it, and quickly went to the post. The affairs of the governor of Guangdong, acting by Feng Yi, the deputy governor of Guangzhou. ”

Ma Qi received the will, and after this matter was dealt with, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Yongzheng. "Your Majesty, the temple number and nickname of the former emperor, the cabinet has now come up with the charter, and I invite the emperor to take a look."

Yongzheng picked it up and took a look, when the cabinet gave Kangxi the temple number, he first gave the word 'ancestor', which was to highlight Kangxi's achievements, and then gave the word 'saint', but it was a historical precedent. Because no one in the previous emperor had ever used the word 'sacred'.

However, for Yongzheng, it was written to the heart, because he had just succeeded to the throne and did not have too high prestige at present, and for the opposition of the eighth and fourteenth, they could only focus on winning over first, so only by lifting Emperor Kangxi high could he highlight the righteousness of his position and unite people in this way.

"The imperial examination has been in the imperial pole for 60 years in his life, and his name is Shoucheng, which is really the same as the creation, the Holy Ancestor, which is really appropriate."

Strictly speaking, if there is no such thing as the Fu Han army, Yongzheng can barely say it, but since the Fu Han army came out, the Qing army has been defeated in successive battles, and together with Kangxi's personal expedition, half of the country in the south is almost about to fall into the hands of the enemy, and it is a bit far-fetched to say anything about the Holy Ancestor at this time.

Yongzheng didn't have any scruples about this, and continued to look at it, and the cabinet gave Kangxi the nickname 'Hetian Hongyun, Wenwu, Ruizhe, Frugal, Generous, Filial Piety, Integrity, Merit, and Great Chengren Emperor', which is also a beautiful word. However, the so-called nickname system has long been played badly, so it is not surprising that such a nickname is given.

"So be it."

Yongzheng exhaled lightly, but made another decree: "Feng Beile Yunxi is the prince of Lian, Yunyou is the king of the county, and Hongxi, the son of the abolished prince Yunren, is the king of Lijun." Also, let the Auxiliary Guogong Yanxin be the general of Xi'an, and the military of the general Fuyuan, and let the general come back first! ”

Ma Qi sighed for a while in his heart, he naturally understood that the previous ones were the sweetness for the Eight Masters, and the condition was naturally to let the general Yunyu come back, so as to completely remove the military power in his hands. This move is not ruthless, and it can even be said that with this move, Fuyuan General Yunyu is no longer a threat.

What Ma Qi meant by these words was naturally to let Ma Qi act as the intermediary to talk to the Eight Masters. Yongzheng is very smart at this point, and he quickly saw through the gap between the eighth and the fourteenth, that is, the eighth has the support of the ministers of the court, but he has no military power. The old fourteenth has military power, but has no imperial court foundation.

If the two are combined into one, Yongzheng will naturally not dare to move, but the problem is that no matter how these two people are, they are two people, even if they are good enough to wear a pair of pants, they are also two people, and they have their own little abacus to fight, how can they be in harmony at this time?

After Ma Qi retreated, Yongzheng wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send it to Yanxin, until this matter was done, he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction and sent someone to invite Prince Yi Yunxiang.

Prince Yi Yunxiang suffered a lot of hardships and grievances in the early years, his braids were gray, and he usually looked desolate, but since the last time he went to Fengtai Daying to pay for the military power, his spirit has risen, and now he is named Prince Yi, although he is very busy, but the state of the whole person is completely different.

"Your Majesty, the servants have asked the emperor for peace." Although the two brothers are very harmonious, Yunxiang never dares to cross the line by half a point, and every time he comes to see Yongzheng, he respectfully bows.

Yongzheng helped Yunxiang up and said softly: "Thirteenth brother, if there is no outsider present, you still call my fourth brother." ”

Prince Yi Yunxiang had to reply, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished, and the slaves will never dare to exceed half a point." ”

Yongzheng had no choice but to take Yunxiang's hand, sit on the stool, and sighed: "This is really not the emperor doesn't know, the biggest drudgery in this world is nothing more than this." ”

Yun Xiang said with emotion: "The world is so big that it is tied to the emperor's body, so it is naturally heavier than Qianjun. ”

"I have received the excerpts from the people below, this Chu Yi is now in Anqing, I am afraid that he will send troops east to the south of the Yangtze River in June at the latest, plus Taiwan's Zhu bandits are also combing the inside, I am afraid that they will also find an opportunity to enter Fujian and Zhejiang, and the gang of fanatics of the White Lotus Sect are even more misguided in Henan, here is the smoke of gunpowder, I really can't sleep at night!"

Yongzheng selected a few letters on the imperial case and handed them to Yunxiang, who looked at them carefully word by word, but the more he looked at it, the paler he became, and the top of his head sweated, and when he finished reading it, he was in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the world has already ...... It's messy! ”

Yunxiang said this sentence is not nonsense, but before Kangxi, the Eight Banners Group of the Qing Dynasty actually did not take these current bandits as a thing, of course, there are many reasons for this, but after Yunxiang read this, there was a great fear in his heart, that is, if the Qing Dynasty does not cheer up, then there is only a line away from destruction.

A wry smile appeared on Yongzheng's face, and he sighed, "The country handed over to me by the imperial examination must not be thrown away in my hands, but for me, there are too many things to do at the moment. If we have to cheer up, we must clean up the rule of officials, rectify corruption, and we must also organize and train a new army and build firearms. ”

Yun Xiang knelt directly on the ground, his eyes were already red, "Your Majesty, for the sake of our Qing Dynasty, Yun Xiang will never dare to live up to the emperor!" ”

Yongzheng's face looked a little better, he helped Yun Xiang up, sighed and said: "The most difficult thing for me in the Qing Dynasty now is not these, but the silver in the treasury has been completely empty." ”

Speaking of the financial problems of the Qing Dynasty, the two brothers looked at each other, but they saw that they were full of helplessness in each other's hearts, because this problem was really unsolvable.

Strictly speaking, Kangxi was not short of silver in the first dynasty, but no matter how strong his family foundation was, he couldn't withstand the consumption of years of war, not to mention the previous wars launched against Jungger, let's just say that in the last five years of Kangxi, he successively mobilized troops in the northwest, and later fought with the Fu Han army in Huguang, losing a large number of Eight Banners and young people, not to mention, the key is that the treasury of the Qing court was indeed emptied.

Yongzheng sighed, "Thirteenth brother, I want to hand over the household department to you, in order to be able to re-enrich my Qing treasury as soon as possible, only in this way can I train more new troops, build more firearms, and fight to the death against Chu Wei." ”

With tears on his face, Yun Xiang lay on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave is willing to clear up for me, and he will not hesitate to do so!" ”

The lecturer present at the feast worked hard to write and recorded this scene of brotherhood into the history books, but a few years ago, Kangxi abolished the system of living notes, so it was just recovered by Yongzheng, but he failed to record Yongzheng's real good intentions.

All this that Yongzheng did was actually setting the tone for the future financial reform, and let Yunxiang assist in managing the household department, although on the one hand, there was a reason for thanking brotherhood, and on the other hand, it was to set up a shield for himself, which would be used to attract the firepower of the courtiers in the future reform.

Yun Xiang is not necessarily unclear about this point, but he also understands that at this moment, whether it is Yongzheng or Daqing, they can no longer retreat, and if they retreat, they will really die in the world. And the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty have never been inferior to anyone else in terms of ruthlessness.

When the Qing court was licking its wounds, Wuchang began to really sort out its financial fundamentals, in fact, this step has been brewing for a long time, but now it is taking advantage of this great opportunity to prepare to launch.

For this financial reform, on the surface, it was led by Ning Zhongjing, the right senator of the Fuhan Military and Political Affairs Hall, but in fact, everyone knew that the real person in charge behind the scenes was Ning Zhongyuan, the king of Chu, and Ning Yu, the governor of the capital who was far away from the front line, and it can even be said that Ning Yu occupied the largest influence in this reform.

Just the last time Li Fu returned to Wuchang to negotiate with the Huguang Chamber of Commerce, he brought a letter from Ning Yu to the palace of the king of Chu, and Ning Zhongyuan, the king of Chu, read this letter of only more than 1,000 words, but he read it all night, because in it, the idea put forward by Ning Yu was too appalling.

To put it simply, Ning Yu's idea is to further support industry and commerce, especially after the complete takeover of Jiangnan, new industrial and commercial regulations will be formulated in Jiangnan, the key of which is to further improve the status of industry and commerce, and levy heavy taxes on industry and commerce, so as to expand financial resources, and then use industrial and commercial wealth to further reduce tenant rents in turn, so as to give real benefits to the peasants of the world.

When Ning Zhongyuan handed the letter to Ning Zhongjing and Cui Wancai to read, the two sighed in unison, and then said a word, but the attitude of these two people was very strange.

After Ning Zhongjing read it, what he said was 'bodhisattva's heart', but Cui Wancai said 'bold'. But whether it is Ning Zhongjing or Cui Wancai, they all euphemistically expressed that it is not feasible.

In the eyes of the gentry and landlords, the ideal way to make a fortune should be to first earn huge profits from business, but after making money, they will not continue to expand production, but will begin to buy land, train family scholars, and let them become officials.

After these scholars became officials, they began to turn around and protect their low taxes in business, which is the so-called "king does not compete with the people for profit", but after they made money in business, they would only continue to buy land and then train scholars, thus forming such a strange circle.

To put it bluntly, it's not that they don't know that industry and commerce can make big profits, but this big profit has been occupied by these big landlords, so they naturally don't want to spit it out again, let alone be cut by the imperial court. As for the other theories of the so-called business as a lowly industry, it is only to further consolidate their interests.

Before Ning Yu wrote the letter, he knew in his heart that this era belonged to the era of exploration and adventure, and if he wanted to continue to research something in the land, it would really be waiting to be fought, so no matter what, he would promote the progress of this matter, and even this matter was a little more important than the upcoming Eastern Crusade.
