The spy who escaped with serious injuries was caught that night, but it was already a dead body. Under the fatigue of interrogation by the Intelligence Department www.biquge.info Liu Yuan finally confessed that he was sent by a businessman in Yanjing, and his knowledge was limited; another secret agent confessed that he was sent by a mysterious Zheng Siye in Yanjing, and he rushed to the chicken coop in March to steal musket and artillery technology.

So many dead soldiers reminded Fu Ning of his assassination in Yangzhou on the fifth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Qianping, those assassins were also dead soldiers, and the forces that could have such dead soldiers were none other than those in Yanjing. The crown prince is dead; The second prince is a corrupt Confucian, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites; The three princes are quick to come and conquer, and the mother family is powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, and the three princes are not like the kind of sinister and cunning people; The five princes served in the Ministry of Officials, and their influence was in Shanxi, mainly in the northwest; The sixth prince served in the Criminal Department, mainly operating Luyu; The other princes were still young. Thinking about it, the most suspicious thing is the four princes, the four princes serve in the household department, and they have no power; He has always been upright and silent; Occasionally, he must be loyal, filial piety, courtesy or something, and the British officialdom privately calls him "the cold-faced man"; In Fu Ning's view, this kind of person is either fame or insidious and mean, and it must be hidden very deeply, which is the easiest to ignore. As for the four kings and eight princes, they wouldn't have stretched their hands so far. What Fu Ning is wondering about now is why the fourth prince has been staring at him since he was in Yangzhou, and it makes no sense to think about it.

If you have doubts, you need to solve them, so Fu Ning sent a letter to Zhen Run and asked him what fluctuations the situation in Suyang had when he left Yangzhou in February and March last year. Zhen Run quickly replied, saying that at that time, the six princes had "sent people into Yangzhou and wanted to collect Yancao, but there was no end (secretly sent people to Yangzhou and wanted to entrap the two gangs of Yancao, but there was no result)". So Fu Ning became more and more sure of the four princes who were playing ghosts, but he didn't know how the four princes planned and what they wanted to do, but it was undeniable that the four princes must have been eyeing him since then, and he had another trouble!

The military industry came to the good news, the production of steel balls has made a major breakthrough, the original is to use the casting and grinding method to produce steel balls, the yield of steel balls is extremely low, and the quality is very poor, resulting in serious wear and tear of various tools and lathes, short service life of components, and now there are three masters to create steel wire cutting, die, heat treatment, and then fine grinding production methods to produce all kinds of steel balls, directly improve the production efficiency of various steel balls by more than 100 times, and the quality of steel balls has also improved a lot; This news made Fu Ning very excited, and shouted that it was epoch-making progress; Because the improvement of the steel ball production process will directly bring about the revolutionary progress of various machines, so that the output and quality of various precision rotors and bearings can be greatly improved, and bring extremely huge impetus to the progress of the entire industrialization. So Fu Ning directly ordered the military workshop: to increase the treatment of the three first-class masters to the third-level masters, reward each person with 1,000 taels of silver, and enjoy the treatment of the chief steward, and at the same time ordered all ministries and departments and various power equipment to replace a large number of new rotors and bearings. As a result, the capabilities of various machines have developed by leaps and bounds, greatly accelerating the process of industrialization.

Over the past year or so, a large number of displaced people from Zhejiang, Fujian and other places have "voluntarily and voluntarily" migrated to Liuqiu, leaving the displaced people along the coast empty, and for a time the number of homeless people, mountain bandits, beggars, and "Diao people" in various coastal areas has decreased sharply. The governor of Zhejiang played "the stubborn people go to sea and abandon their ancestors, and the people everywhere 'applaud and rejoice'!" The three princes played, "The court should really drive the Diao people to go to sea, to support the satisfaction of the loyal people, and to relieve everyone's worries!" The emperor did not speak, but just "left the folds in the middle and pressed"; However, the twists and turns of a few people brought ideas to some ministers, so the coastal provinces "drove the 'stubborn people' out to sea one after another", and the six princes simply secretly sent a letter to Shandong, where there was a great drought, "drove the hungry people to Dengzhou, Lingshan and other places, and let them enter the sea", and then played "Wenzhi, the prefect of Qingzhou, Deng Yi, the prefect of Laizhou, Fushun the people, and countless relief victims, which is really a great achievement, and should also be put on a table!" ”。 But there was also fierce opposition; The four princes wrote, "Those who have no mother and dislike their sons and abandon them; Regardless of the good or the bad, all are our people, we should be good for the blessing, so that they feel the kindness of our emperor, thank our emperor for the grace of heaven, this sincere protection of the people and love the people, so that all the people of the world know their kindness, loyal to the cultivation and hard work, and stable place. ", the right capital of the Imperial Palace, Kong Yu played, "It is not often heard that there is a country without people; If you let the recalcitrant people go to sea, tempt the people, abandon their homes and go to the sea, then let them live and perish, and they will die many outside, and hurt the dignity of our dynasty. When the sea frontier is blocked, our people are returned to goodness, and they live and cultivate with peace of mind, so as to increase our people, increase our strength, and raise my British face. ”

Fu Ning didn't care what the imperial court decided in the end, as soon as he received the news of the large increase in the number of displaced people along the coast of Shandong, he urgently ordered all departments to expand the transfer capacity, increase the "road fee" for merchants to transport the displaced people, and ordered all kinds of ships in Jilong, Huwei, Changhua, Chiji and other places to rush to the coast of Shandong to transport the hungry; Even the newly established fishing fleet of more than 30 large fishing boats was quickly dispatched to Lingshanwei, Shandong, and 30,000 homeless people boarded the boats in one day, and the homeless people on the fishing boats were so crowded that they did not even have the slightest room to stretch their legs. At this time, it was the typhoon season, and two fleets encountered storms, losing more than 50 ships and killing more than 40,000 people, but fortunately, the naval fleet arrived in time and rescued more than 10,000 people

The new wave of immigration began in early July, and by mid-October, when the British Imperial Court began to strictly prohibit the coastal provinces from going to sea except for fishing boats, the total number of people in Liuqiu increased by more than 500,000,000, and the total number reached more than 1,300,000; Among the more than 500,000 new people, Shandong people accounted for nearly 400,000. The large number of new people has led to a large emptiness of the granary, but fortunately, the grain harvest in the south and the increase in fishing in the north have barely stabilized the situation.

In October, the situation of the court changed greatly, first the six princes were ordered to reflect on the prefect of Qingzhou, Wenzhi, the prefect of Qingzhou, and Deng Yi, the prefect of Laizhou, were dismissed from their posts and confiscated their homes, and Qian Qian, the governor of Shandong, was demoted to one class, and then the three princes were dismissed and ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and then the emperor ordered the four princes and the fifth prince to be the ministers of the Qin Mission, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect the shortage of money and grain, and then the edict prohibits the displaced people from going to sea in the coastal provinces, and merchants from other places are not allowed to go to sea to do business except for Guangzhou, Zhangzhou, and Yangzhou; In fact, this was the beginning of a large-scale sea ban.

When the fishing boats returned to port at the end of October, the migrants were unloaded and the fish began to be fished, and the increase in large quantities of fish meat began to fill the food gap. Seeing a large number of salted fish, Fu Ning began to think of the salt drying field, and in vain he was still guarding Baoshan and did not know the treasure, so he urgently ordered 20,000 new immigrants to open a large number of salt drying fields in the Huwei area; Fu Ning found that he always did things in the east and a hammer in the west, so he didn't care about his head, so he put aside the things at hand and thought about it for half a month, and then began to re-plan the work of Liuqiu.

Politics: 1. Regularize the work of the Chief Secretary for Administration; In the past, the power to allow the administration secretary to hear litigation should be withdrawn, and a special legal department should be established to be responsible for the administration of justice. 2. The main work of the Chief Secretary for Administration must be shifted to administrative construction, public safety, epidemic prevention, and various constructions. 3. Before coming to Liuqiu, there were about 20,000 Han people in the north and more than 100,000 Han people in the south, and the number of Han people in the south was more than six times the number of Han people in the north. Now it's the other way around, with more than a million Han people in the north, more than six times as many as in the south; Therefore, the Chief Secretary for Administration should expand the number of immigrants from the south, vigorously develop agriculture in the south, and vigorously develop industry in the north. In view of the fact that the imperial court closed off the sea and the number of new immigrants began to decrease, it was necessary to move a large number of new immigrants from the north to the south to develop agriculture. Fourth, the agricultural tax should be completely abolished.

Culture: 1. The Department of Culture should be set up to be responsible for universal education, cultural publicity, mass education, and various cultural activities to stabilize the immigrant groups and improve the quality of the people. 2.

Speed up the pace of building the navy and rapidly expand the number of steam and sail hybrid wooden warships. 3. To speed up the elimination of the surrounding pirate forces, it is necessary to complete the occupation of the Penghu Hall, which has been in fact abandoned by the imperial court and has now become a concentration of pirates, within two months, to eliminate the pirates and train the army. Fourth, after completing the occupation of Penghu Hall, the navy should actively reorganize and train, and strive to complete the war preparations for the Spanish colony in Luzon before March of the 21st year of Qianping (1720). In April and May, the occupation of Manila and the Savia iron ore mine in the east of the country was completed, easing the extremely high demand for iron ore in Liuqiu. Fifth, the army has accelerated the rearmament and successively equipped with new breech guns, safer new mortars, and string grenades that have been developed and produced by military factories; The number of the army was reorganized to 30,000, and all the old and weak were handed over to the chief of administration and turned into local security officers.
