Bai Nan looked at Yongyan's appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "Then, the fifteenth elder brother is interested in this position." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yongyan modestly said: "I'm afraid that Yongyan is only shallow in his studies, and his virtue is not enough, so it is difficult to take on the big responsibility." ”

Bai Nan nodded and said, "Then I'll find someone else." ”

Yongyan was stupid, his face turned red, his lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say.

Bai Nan shook his head and said, "This is a joke, the fifteenth elder brother doesn't have to deal with those imaginary things with me, just say whatever you want." Among the several princes of Emperor Qianlong, in addition to those who have already succeeded, there are still four of you brothers. The eighth elder brother is frivolous and embarrassed; The eleventh elder brother likes to dance and write, and his personality is softer; And the seventeenth elder brother is still a little younger, so I personally am more optimistic about the fifteenth elder brother. ”

Yongyan hurriedly gave up his hand: "The commander-in-chief is in love." ”

Bai Nan waved his hand and said: "What about me here, I hope that the fifteenth elder brother will be open and honest with me, if the fifteenth elder brother ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor of the empire, then can you meet the conditions I offer?" ”

Yongyan also knew at this time that further was not only the sea and the sky, but also the hall full of gold and jade, but if he took a step back, his fate would definitely not be much better, even if he saved a life, he would definitely not have to think about it for glory and wealth. So, the fifteenth elder brother gritted his teeth and said: "As the adults said, between Tang and Qing, it is originally one and the same, a country of brothers, if Yongyan does not succeed to the throne, he will definitely respect the Tang Dynasty as a country of brothers and live in harmony." The conditions offered by the commander-in-chief were not allowed by Yongyan. ”

Bai Nan smiled, seemingly satisfied. "There's a lot of detail in that," he said. I'll talk to you slowly. It's not something that can be done in a while. Datang will promise you the stability of the throne, and whoever opposes you in the Qing Dynasty will be a traitor to the party, and we Datang will clean him up for you in advance. Your power will not be inferior to that of your father. Of course, in exchange, we need the following conditions: 1. From the day you ascend the throne, normal exchanges and trade between the Tang and Qing dynasties will be fully restored. Now Guangzhou's trade is obviously not enough to meet our commercial needs, so we will talk about the issue of the treaty port, and Guangzhou is now besieged by the Heaven and Earth Society, and we Datang have a plan to relieve this siege for you. ”

Yongyan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this serious?" The hospitality of the Tang Dynasty, Yongyan admires it in his heart. ”

His position changed very quickly, and at this time, it seemed that he had already worn a pair of pants like the Tang people, and Bai Nanxin said that this person was indeed a complete political animal. Although it is not yet twenty, it is already very clear. What is beneficial to oneself, and the essence of politics is the exchange of interests.

Bai Nan continued: "Second, Datang hopes to lease Beitang and Dagu in the Qing Kingdom, establish the Tanggu Special Economic Zone, lease Shanghai County in Songjiang Prefecture, establish the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, lease Xin'an County in Guangzhou Prefecture, and establish the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The above three places are jointly owned by the Qing Dynasty and Datang, and our Datang will set up an office in the above three places, that is, a government agency, to be responsible for a series of affairs in the Special Administrative Region. People living in the Special Economic Zone will automatically obtain the status of our Datang national. In the above three places, the Qing State did not set up yamen, did not garrison troops, had no jurisdiction and judicial power, and had no right to collect taxes, but it could set up customs in the above three places, and customs duties could be levied on goods leaving the special zone. Well, to add that the Qing Customs needs to be supervised by our foreign trade commissioner to put an end to favoritism and corruption, and the tariff maintains the original tax rate, but the change of the tax rate and other trade policies, if it involves our country, must be notified to our country, and no changes shall be made without the consent of our country. ”

Yongyan's heart was raised, compared to the gentle wind and drizzle of the first one, this second one can be said to be already sharpening knives. The establishment of the three special zones can be said to be equivalent to cutting off the land, but nominally the three special zones still belong to the sovereignty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and belong to the "royal land", but they are leased to the Tang people.

"Is this SAR the same as Macau?" Yongyan is not completely uninformed, as the prince whom Qianlong focused on cultivating, he already knows a lot of affairs in the Qing Dynasty.

Bai Nan nodded: "It's similar to the situation in Macau, but in the affairs of the Special Administrative Region, the government of the Tang Special Administrative Region is not interfered by your country, understand?" ”

After thinking about it, Yongyan still said: "This lease of land to the Tang Dynasty is a promise, but the Tanggu land is close to Beijing, and the business travel is not prosperous, can it be subtracted?" ”

Bai Nan looked with a hint of ridicule on his face and said, "Brother Fifteen, you are not the emperor now, have you already taken on the identity like this, have you bargained with me?" I'm sorry, I don't think you have any leverage to bargain with me, and if you can't agree to our full request, then I'm sorry, I can help your family prepare tickets for the sea. ”

Yongyan was excited, and said busily: "Three special zones, guarantee that there is no problem." ”

He knew that he and Bai Nan were not on an equal footing, and even his own life was in Bai Nan's hands, and there was no room for bargaining. He is no longer pretending to be smart, Bai Nan is what he says. Moreover, at least the three special zones are still leased in name, not considered to cut the soil, at least they are still passable on face.

Bai Nan once again opened the conditions: "Third, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty will set up an embassy in Mixiang, Dongjiang, the capital, and stationed envoys, responsible for the affairs of the Tang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and responsible for coordinating with the Qing court. We will also station a battalion-sized unit in the inner city of Beijing to be responsible for the security of the embassy. In addition, in order to protect the safety of His Majesty the new emperor and protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, the Tang army needed to garrison troops in some places in the Qing Dynasty. We can decide on the specific location of the garrison later, but in the early stage, we have asked for Nanyuan to be used as the battalion of the Tang Army stationed in Beijing, and the scale has not yet been determined. ”

These words directly made Yongyan's heart cold, he originally imagined that the Tang people would stay away, although they occupied a few special zones, but those were just projectile lands, Yongyan didn't care about it at all. As soon as the Tang people leave Beijing, it is equivalent to taking down the blade around their necks. But now that the Tang people clearly plan to station troops in Beijing, then if Yongyan annoys the Tang people with something, the Tang army will repeat the Jingshi incident a few months ago.

Even though Bai Nan had promised him that he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty that did not involve the interests of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Tang Jun was still by his side, his heart would always hang. But after thinking about it for a while, Yongyan could only compromise. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, even if he became the emperor, he didn't know how many people would be recognized, and when the time came, he wouldn't have to make trouble for the Tang people, he himself would be an incompetent son of heaven who could not issue a government decree in Beijing. If he can make good use of the power of the Tang people, maybe he can regain control of the world, but this control is conditional. He came to control the world, and the Tang people came to control him.

Bai Nan looked at Yongyan and seemed to accept his fate, and said, "Fourth, this is not the most urgent thing to do at the moment, but it is also important. According to our preliminary statistics, there are already more than one million displaced peasants in your country, and the number of landless peasants and urban unemployed people in various places will only increase. This is obviously an obstacle to public order and an obstacle to the normal economic development of your country. Therefore, after the new monarch ascends the throne, he needs to issue a will, that is, to instruct local officials to count the situation of local displaced people, and to be responsible for receiving the immigration officials sent by my Datang. In line with the original intention of helping your country solve the problems of displaced people and public security, our country will bring these unemployed displaced people to Datang, grant them acres of land, and give them a new and stable life. ”

Yongyan was surprised: "You want to take away my people of the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Bai Nan said with a smile: "In the Great Qing Dynasty, they don't have enough food and clothing, and if they continue like this, those chaotic parties of the White Lotus Sect will absorb them, and they will all rebel, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

Yongyan also knew a little bit about the situation of the White Lotus Sect's spark, and the exiles at the end of the Ming Dynasty directly led to a large-scale peasant uprising and sent the Ming Dynasty to the grave, he immediately shivered: "Yes, let the exiles go and cause great harm to the country, if the Tang Dynasty is willing to help our country deal with this problem, Yongyan is grateful!" ”

Bai Nan was very satisfied with his attitude, and said: "I also suggest that you add the assessment of the displaced people to the future official review, and if the local governor does a good job of relocating the displaced people, he will be promoted, of course, this matter is relatively large, and the cost is not small, our Datang will be responsible for the funds for the relocation of the displaced people, but this money will not handle your officials, because we are deeply suspicious of the integrity of the Qing officials." I'll give you a table to see how much money your father's court has made. ”

Yongyan couldn't help but want to scold people, even if those big officials had accumulated a lot of money, but all this money had become the things of the Tang people, even the treasury of the Qing Dynasty and the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been taken away by the Tang people.

Yongyan put down the matter and asked another question: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, but the imperial court needs to be re-established, but almost all of Huang Ama's important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been, uh, moved out, and Yongyan is afraid that there will be no one available in the court." ”

Bai Nan smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, Kaien Kebei, there are more people who want to be officials, and now everyone has a chance." However, it is impossible to select talents who are useful to the world, but only a group of loyal but incompetent minions who will only bury the country in the end. I think it is very necessary to reform the imperial examination, and it is estimated that no one in the world can agree to the subset of history, but others must also be examined, such as local governance, economy and trade, water conservancy and transportation, and education. Of course, personal morality, wind reviews and so on are also very important. (To be continued.) )
