Chapter 149 Do subtraction, do addition
King Gong became expressionless, and after a while, he said, "You can decide this matter yourself." However, I think that the courtiers serve the king, and they are loyal and sincere. Well, the word 'sincerity' is ...... What to say. If...... If you only say five out of ten, then ......"
Speaking of this, he smiled faintly and stopped talking.
Bao Jun felt a faint chill in his heart: King Xuan's desire to be unfavorable to King Rui is just a plan, which has not been implemented, and may never be implemented. But he added this pen to the secret fold, even if the king has no actual action, but the four-character test phrase of "madness" can no longer escape. King Gong is King Gong's own brother, but once King Gong turns his face, he will not only fall into the well for his hands and siblings, but also go down to the stone - and when he starts, there is no hesitation!
Thinking of the Xinyou coup, King Gong's treatment of Sushun, Duanhua, and Zaiyuan has been confirmed by the past and present, and the chill in Baojun's heart is even heavier.
His face was slightly different, but he disappeared for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sixth Master, what you said is that I know what to do." ”
King Gong glanced at him and said lightly, "Well, that's good." ”
After speaking, his eyes drooped and fell on the glass that shook lightly in his hand, and inside, the grape wine was as red as blood.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
After a while, Bao Jun exhaled lightly and said, "Sixth Master, that's what I said, that's how things are done—but I'm really unwilling!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Sixth Master, I'm not for myself, I'm unwilling for you!" ”
King Gong raised his head, and the light in his eyes flashed.
Bao Jun smiled "hehe" and said, "Sixth master." I'll tell you the truth. To him - are you willing? ”
This "he". Who are you talking about, you don't need to name them, the two of them can be acquiesced.
King Gong was silent for a moment, smiled to himself, and said, "This is something that no one can mention to me except you—well, Pei Xuan." If you can open this mouth, it shows that we are real confidants! ”
Bao Jun's heart was hot, and he shouted: "Sixth master! "For a while, I didn't know what to say.
King Gong waved his hand and said, "This is a good topic, and it is good that it is good - well, I will give you the truth: I can neither say 'willing' nor 'unwilling'." ”
Is this called "truthfulness"?
"Sixth Master, your words are too deep. Forgive me for being stupid, please explain the details. ”
King Gong said: "'Unwilling' layer. Let's not mention it for now. Let's talk about 'willingness' first - I think about it carefully, this person does things, and there is something that you can't help but admire. ”
"Oh?"
"Pei Xuan, I don't know if you notice, there are some things, such as the flag service-Su Shun did it, I did it, and he did it, in fact, it is in the same line, and there is no real difference?"
"This ...... It seems so. ”
"Su Shun scolded 'there are a lot of bastards in our banner people', I haven't said this kind of thing, but the things I do, for example, cut the money and grain of the Eight Banners, and reuse the Han staff - you and I know it well, and Su Shun is actually the same."
"Look at 'him' again: Eight Banners money and grain, not a penny added back - the 'Feng'en Fund' is only about the clan, it can't be regarded as adding money and food to the Eight Banners;
"Not only that, but some of the things he did were even better than what Su Shun and I did—for example, the 'buyout of flag age' he engaged in actually uprooted some flag people! This matter, if it were done by Su Shun and me, up and down, I don't know how I would react? ”
Bao Jun didn't speak, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
King Gong put the glass on the table, flicked it lightly, and with a "ding" sound, the cup made a crisp and pleasant sound. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the sky will collapse?" Su Lao Liu's head, probably can't wait for me to cut it! Me, hey, hey! ”
At this point, Bao Jun had no way to sub-interface, so he had to continue to be silent.
King Gong paused for a moment and continued: "However, when he did this, up and down, there was not much repercussions, and almost no one jumped out and said that he was 'shaking the country' - this is strange! You say, what's going on? ”
Bao Jun thought to himself, if everyone is afraid of him Guan Yixuan, he will not say anything, it is absolutely unreasonable, Guan someone's power is still 108,000 miles away.
He groaned, "I think he took advantage of the fact that he could fight. Among our banner people, I haven't seen such a character for a long time, and everyone held him for a while...... Don't care about anything else. ”
King Gong shook his head lightly and said, "It's true that he took advantage of the fact that he could fight. Your sentence 'I can't care about anything else for a while', Pei Xuan, say it, you don't have much confidence yourself, right? ”
Bao Jun smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Sixth Master, I can't hide anything from you—then, please show me, what is this for?" ”
King Gong shook his robe, stood up, and paced slowly.
"I am in the General Administration, and I have more dealings with foreigners, and a few days ago, I heard a very interesting saying from foreigners, called 'doing subtraction' and 'doing addition'."
"'Do subtraction', 'do addition'? What does that mean? ”
"The 'addition and subtraction' of Western arithmetic - you always know?"
"Yes, it's no different from the addition and subtraction in our Chinese arithmetic."
"Hmm. Let's put it this way: In terms of flag affairs, what Su Shun and I did was blindly 'subtraction', and what he did was that he did 'subtraction' and then 'addition'. ”
“…… Sixth Master, you are a metaphor...... Interesting! ”
"Cutting money and food, this is 'doing subtraction' - the life of the flag man is already tight, the money and food are halved, and the life is even more miserable, and you don't give him any other way out, just blindly ask him to tighten his belt, hehe, how can there be no reason not to be angry?"
"Sixth Master, you mean, he ...... Gave the flag man another way out? This is called 'doing addition'? ”
"Ah! If you want to say 'do subtraction', he will reduce it even harder, and it will simply be 'cleared'! However, on the other side, he 'added' three hundred taels of silver with white flowers, as well as a bunch of farm tools, seeds, and cultivated land - for those banner people who couldn't eat enough, would they continue to stay here and be hungry, or should they go over there and leave with three hundred taels of white flowers? Where to go, hehe, it's probably not that difficult to choose! ”
"Sixth Master, what you said is that Li'er is such a Li'er. We may not be ...... But where are we going to find the three hundred taels of silver? ”
King Gong stopped, looked at Bao Jun, nodded half-loudly, sighed, and said, "Pei Yun, what you said is to the point—where can we find the three hundred taels of silver?" However, whether it is stealing or robbing, he can find this money! Su Shun and I can't do this! This one...... That's what makes him unusual! ”
"Sixth master, this money was raised by selling 'treasury bonds', but it is actually ...... borrowed. ”
"Fifty million taels, the interest rate is much lower than the bank's, such a lump of money, let's borrow, can we borrow it?"
Bao Jun stopped talking.
King Gong began to pace slowly again.
"Not all of his money was borrowed – like the 'Bong Eun Fund'."
Bao Jun said "hey" lightly and said, "Yes, the clan took this money, how could they speak ill of him?" He reformed the flag business, and he was so quiet up and down, I think that not only can he fight, but everyone is holding him - he has bought it all out! ”
King Gong nodded and said: "Pei Yu, what you said is not rough, the clan was indeed bought by him - not only the clan, but also the two palaces, why not?" The imperial court only took out a million taels of silver, and he was able to build the Qingyi Garden—oh, renamed it 'Summer Palace'—and he didn't know how much silver he had to fill it into? ”
"'Buying' costs money, he can find money, this is the ability, you can't be unconvinced!"
Bao Jun said "hey" softly again and did not speak.
"Pei Xuan, think carefully about his means of doing things: the first to move the knife from the bottom, and the one who drove out the flag was actually the poorest group, these people, Mo said, had given compensation and a way out, and there were not many people who complained about grievances; Even if they don't give compensation and don't give a way, it is not easy for them to reach heaven to hear their bitter and unjust words. What about the one above? Not only did he not lose anything, but he also increased the weight! Hehe, get along with each other, get along with each other, you say, will anyone still say that he 'shakes the country'? ”
