On June 20, 51 years of Kangxi's reign, the second issue of the "Jingshi Times" was published again after the successful launch of the first issue, and the front page was still a great debate on the "Kyoto Treaty", with both positive and negative articles, but the difference was that all the articles this time were added with editor's notes, and the "Jingshi Times" clearly showed its attitude in favor of the adoption of the "Kyoto Treaty", especially the article "The Farmer and the Snake" published by an author signed by Chenxi.

Dawn is not an outsider, it is Hongqing's pen name, the "Farmer and the Snake" quoted by it is from "Aesop's Fables", in later generations, it is a well-known story, but in this era, Manda cleared Hongqing himself, since no one knows its origin, but it does not prevent people from this simple fable to derive the woman's benevolence or such a simple truth, plus the follow-up comments and even arguments of this article are extremely rigorous, but also brilliantly written, so that readers are all amazed, for a time the article is popular in Beijing, and the name of Dawn is resounding all over the cityAt the same time, the original fierce debate became one-sided, and the attitude of the public towards the Kyoto Treaty was almost overwhelming.

It was only two issues of the newspaper, and the public opinion tendency of the people had completely set the tone, and Tian Bingyi and other high-ranking contrarians had become rats crossing the street, and were scolded as traitors by countless people.

Public opinion is so certain to tune, and there is no obstacle to the court discussion - June 29, 51st year of Kangxi, after more than a month, the old man went to the court again, during which the third master put forward a motion to adopt the "Kyoto Treaty", there are countless responders, but the opponents are scarce, the fourth father and son see that the situation is not good, they dare not force it again, the third master's motion was passed, the next day, the old man issued a clear edict, ratified the "Kyoto Treaty".

On the second day of the seventh month of the 51st year of Kangxi, the old thirteen went to this chapter, requesting that the new army be supplemented to meet the rotation of the troops stationed in Dongying.

On the fourth day of the seventh month of the 51st year of Kangxi, the board of directors of the "Eight Banners Firm" made a resolution to allocate 1.2 million taels of silver from the development fund every year as the military expenses of the land and navy armies stationed in Dongying, in other words, in addition to the necessary expenses, the navy and army can get double salaries for a total of 6,000 troops (3,000 troops on each side of the sea and land), and then count the income from the local area (this is undoubtedly the big head, there is no side, the Qing army is the role of the emperor in Dongying, and it is very easy to collect it.) As for the middle and senior generals, it is more than ten times more, as soon as the news came out, the idle bannermen who were still waiting to see whether to join the new army suddenly went crazy, and countless people flocked to the Yamen of the Eight Banners, and they were so stunned that all the Eight Banners were not allowed to live in peace, and they often made a fuss about the belonging of a quota.

On the ninth day of July in the fifty-first year of Kangxi, the old fourteenth went to this chapter, requesting that the armament of the flag battalions be updated to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and the plan was to complete all the planning in five years, which generally cost more than six million taels of silver per year.

As soon as the old man's attitude came out, the government and the opposition couldn't help but talk about it, no one could understand what the old man's intentions were, you must know that the power of the new weapon has already been tested in actual combat, and I didn't see that the new army only had 12,000 troops to easily destroy the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese State, if all the armies of the Qing Dynasty were replaced with new weapons, the combat effectiveness would not be raised to the level of terror, with the wisdom of the old man and the emperor immediately, it was impossible not to see this, but the old man didn't do it, The implications of this are intriguing.

Why? Others don't know why, but Hongqing is very clear, there is no other, it's just a warning, not only for the old fourteen, but also hidden to warn Hongqing, the militant who originally advocated the conquest of Dongying-the old man is old, he really doesn't want to have a big toss, all he wants now is to spend his old age in peace, don't make a big change in Xuanwumen, for the old man, it's a good thing, as for the war, unless it's a last resort, the old man doesn't want to fight anymore, besides, There really doesn't seem to be any big threat around now, at least in the old man's opinion, there is no need to spend a huge amount of money to upgrade the existing army, another obscure reason, naturally all the brothers are not at ease, even the most favored third master is no exception, otherwise, the old man will not have any reason to dismiss the new army commander of the old thirteen, and now, the old fourteen wants to take power in the name of the whole army, how can the old man rest assured, veto is inevitable.

As for warning Hongqing, it's not complicated to put it bluntly, there is no side, on the matter of conquering Dongying, although Hongqing's hand and tail are handled very cleanly, but it is absolutely impossible to hide from the old man's eyes, the previous transfer of the old thirteen out of the new army and the rejection of the old fourteen's proposal this time, all express the same meaning, that is, the old man is tired of the war, if anyone dares to use the sword again, the consequences will be borne by themselves!

The old man doesn't want to fight, this wish is undoubtedly beautiful, but unfortunately the reality is cruel, entrenched in Qinghai, Xinjiang and the plot of Alabutan has expanded rapidly in recent years, I'm afraid that the old man will not be allowed to spend his old age in peace, and the battle will still have to be fought, Hongqing knows this very well, but this is not the time to break the road, and he doesn't want to stir up trouble in the army, and he doesn't want to attract the suspicion of the old man, and the consequences must not be easy to play, besides, Hongqing doesn't really have any heart to think about the military at this time, Because the promotion of many inventions in the Ministry of Industry has been mentioned on the agenda, there are really few articles to be written, but there are not many people in the Ministry of Industry who know economics and management, and most of the things Hongqing can only do it himself, and he is busy every day, and how can he have time to meddle in the army.

On the ninth day of August, after more than two months of hard work, the first draft of the regulations on the promotion of many inventions of the Ministry of Industry was finally completed, and Hongqing did not delay much, so he went to this chapter on the same day, and after reading it, the old man did not comment, but handed Hongqing's excerpt and the detailed description of the 40 pages to the university scholars for consultation.

In fact, Hongqing has written the charter as much as possible to the details, and even some economic terms have made corresponding explanations and explanations, subdividing the forty-seven projects that will be used for promotion into three categories - small and light industry suitable for small and medium-sized businessmen to invest, ordinary light industry, and capital-intensive heavy industry, and refining the scale of various joint-stock systems and relevant control regulations. With the talents of Zhang Tingyu and others, there is not too much obstacle to comprehend, the problem is that the investment involved in this charter is huge, and the scope is extremely wide, so that a group of scholars have to be cautious and cautious, plus the scholars have different positions with each other, the attitude towards the charter proposed by Hongqing is naturally different, after several days of discussion, still failed to reach a consensus, and in the end, the charter can only be pushed back to the imperial front.

The scholars can't come up with a result, the old man is a little entangled, not for anything else, just because Hongqing's plan to revitalize the economy is too grandiose, if it can really be done, in the foreseeable future, the imperial court's annual income can be doubled, this is not counting the tax income at the end of the household, just the imperial court's share dividends in these industries, it is already an astonishing astronomical amount, enough to support Hongqing's need to govern the river and build bridges and roads, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the imperial court. And there are only two things that the old man has to do, one is to issue an edict to pass the "Patent Law", and the other is to allocate five million taels of silver from the war reparations of the Japanese State as the start-up capital for this plan of the Ministry of Industry.

Whether the "Patent Law" is established or not, for the old man, it is not very important, there is no conflict between this law and the current law, and there is not much contradiction with the mainstream thought, if you really want to legislate, that is, it is just a matter of one sentence, but if the old man is asked to take out five million taels of huge money from the first war indemnity that has been collected in the treasury, it will inevitably make the old man feel painful - if it can really be done, the investment of five million taels of silver is not much, but if it fails, the five million taels of silver will not be lost, and besides, The heir of the old man's circle is the third master, but the focus is on Hongqing's body, if Hongqing smashes this big event, won't the court have to fall into chaos again, and the old man's hope for his old age will fall into the void, and this is the root cause of the old man's hesitation.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye it is the beginning of September, and the old man has never commented on Hongqing's chapter, nor has he put it into the court's discussion, as soon as this situation comes out, the rumors between the government and the opposition will inevitably rise, under the promotion of people with hearts, and even have an intensifying trend, the spearhead is directed at Hongqing, such as being so ambitious, and the unbearable comments such as the eyes and hands are all not very politely buckled to Hongqing's head, and for a while, the Jingshi Fengyun became weird......
