Chapter 344: Wrenching the wrist

As soon as Yinzhen's words fell, the entire hall was immediately silent, and the silent needle drop could be heard, and a group of royal relatives and noble ministers almost couldn't believe their ears, and raised their heads in unison, and looked at Yinzhen standing in front of him. Could it be that in exchange for this condition, he obtained Kangxi's support for overseas separation? This is really a broken country, how much effort has been condensed by the navy and the factories and workshops in Shanghai, not to mention, the silver alone will cost tens of millions of taels, which will be handed over?

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi is also unbelievable, the old fourteenth wants to hand over the navy and all the factories and workshops in Shanghai? Without the navy, what is the meaning of this overseas division to him, isn't it purely a wedding dress! Without the navy, these royal clansmen, noble ministers, who would do their best to support him?

After a little fluke, Yinxi became excited, Kangxi took the overseas seal, the old fourteen made a move to fight back, what is the old fourteen called? Retreat? Will Kangxi push the boat with the current? If there is really no navy, the old fourteen will not be worried

The ministers of the Fourteenth Party were also full of shock, wouldn't the Fourteenth Master fight for the crown? At this juncture, he actually plays with self-cutting authority? Zhang Pengxi knows Yinzhen very well, and he is also well versed in the way of economy, and he has a little understanding of the factories and workshops in Shanghai.

But the Fourteenth Master was not afraid that Kangxi would take over the navy, but still let him supervise the factories and workshops in Shanghai? Zhang Pengxi frowned and glanced at Yinzhen's back, does the Fourteenth Master have anything else to rely on?

Li Guangdi is worried, the fourteenth master is now the best selection of the prince, although Kangxi is worried about him, but he is basically inclined to make him the prince, why is the fourteenth master so impatient, aggressively entering, if this leads to the suspicion of father and son, it is not the blessing of the country.

Kangxi also listened to it, but immediately realized that Lao Fourteen was persecuting him by picking a pick, and he was very clear about the income and expenditure of those factories and workshops in Shanghai, and he lost seven million taels last year, which was handed over to the imperial court and handed over to the Ministry of Industry? If you really want to take it down, you can let the treasury bottom out in a year.

The surrender of the navy is even more nonsense, the Nanyang fleet is far away in the South Seas and has not returned, and the surrender to the imperial court is completely an empty word, this kid, if you don't believe him, you can't guess my original intention, but you just surrender the navy to stuff it, and by the way, you also played a sad card, erected an image of breaking the family and serving the country, and has long strength.

Groaning slightly, Kangxi also felt embarrassed, the old fourteen's words can be described as glossy, the ocean-going fleet, the factory workshop in Shanghai does have a scale, he replied to the order, both reasonable and blameless, this hot potato, it is impossible to take it, you have to find a good explanation.

With a slight groan, Kangxi glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and said slowly: "The navy fought Penghu in the first battle, captured the entire Spanish Far East Fleet, and captured Manila in World War II, and captured Greater Luzon.

However, the navy was able to achieve its present scale because of the capture of the Spanish Far East Fleet, and although the factories and workshops in Shanghai had begun to take shape, they were still in their infancy, and they were not yet stable. ”

Yinzhen was stunned when he listened, what is this? What does it mean to be unstable at the beginning? The Navy wants to collect it, but this factory workshop still wants me to continue to pay for it? Is there such a good thing?

A group of royal family relatives and noble ministers did not know the inside story of the various factories and workshops in Shanghai, seeing Kangxi deal with it like this, although they felt strange, but they had no intention of pondering, but they all thought in their hearts, who will Kangxi hand over to the Qing Imperial Navy? This can be directly related to the quality and safety of overseas fiefdoms. ..., Zhang Pengxi chuckled in his heart, Kangxi really took over the navy, but he still asked the fourteenth master to supervise the affairs of the factories and workshops, how can the fourteenth master deal with it? Can this arm reach the thigh?

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of bringing a smile on his face, the old fourteen was afraid that he was going to lift a stone to hit his own feet, and he was fighting with Kangxi, he was almost not a star, and now, being taken into the navy, the strength and power of the old fourteen were greatly reduced.

Slightly stunned, Yinzhen came back to his senses, Kangxi threw out the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy, but it was not triggered, this is to be sold at a price, deliberately knocking on himself, if he admits it, this pick will not have the slightest value, frowning, he bowed down and said: "Emperor Ama, Erchen has been away from Beijing for three years, building an ocean-going fleet in Shanghai, it can be described as exhaustive, haggard, has not come out for five years, the capital has a slight discussion here, Erchen also feels ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, many factories and workshops in Shanghai also prayed to the emperor Ama to choose another meritocracy, The ministers implored him to return to Beijing for a while to spare himself and spread the branches for the royal family. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace felt the taste, and Kangxi and the Fourteenth Master were on their wrists? This is a major event involving the struggle for storage, no one dares to interject indiscriminately, one by one they lower their eyebrows and lower their heads, look at their noses, and look at their hearts, and immediately look like old monks in their minds.

Zhang Pengxi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, the fourteenth master was really speechless, he could say such a ridiculous reason, but, after a little pondering, it was really a double win, not only to fight back against the rumors that he could not enter the Tao, but also to Kangxi's army, to Kangxi to take over the factory workshop in Shanghai, it is absolutely impossible, if you do not agree, on the issue of the fourteenth master's heirs, there must be a statement, the fourteenth master said very clearly, he is busy with state affairs, and his energy is so haggard that he has nothing to do.

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi was extremely depressed when he heard it, the old fourteen was so confident, the body was naturally fine, but the weakness of the heir became a weakness for him, and in the face of the old fourteen fighting back, Kangxi was really not good at how to respond, which would let the old fourteen have the upper hand, and he would be completely out of play.

Yinzhen, who listened to this, used this as an excuse to pick a son, Kangxi couldn't help frowning, the reproduction of heirs is the top priority of the royal family, although the old fourteenth now has four sons, who dares to guarantee that they can get in? There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, and the Qing Dynasty advocates the rule of filial piety, the reason of the old fourteen can be described as high-sounding, and for a while, I really don't know how to refute it.

Lao Fourteen said that the pressure is too great, mental anxiety, not a few palace maids or a few concubines can be solved, Kangxi was at a loss, glanced at Yinzhen, he muttered and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, but this matter is not incomplete, but it can be discussed later, rumors in the capital are detrimental to the royal majesty, and must be strictly rectified." ”

Hearing Kangxi's words, Li Guangdi couldn't help but look at Yinzhen, Kangxi has died down, the fourteenth master must not be ignored, that is a big trouble.

Yinzhen didn't realize it, Kangxi was discussing it later, and gently exposed the matter, he couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, in the court, Kangxi has the absolute right to speak, and it is really difficult to get the sweetness, and this matter can only be bargained in private, which annoyed Kangxi and shelved the overseas seal, but it really outweighs the loss.

However, the auction funds of Luzon Island, Yinzhen did not want to give it away, how much money can be paid, it is still uncertain, hand it over to Kangxi, it will definitely be sealed into the treasury, and he bowed down and said: "Emperor Ama, since the navy has become an army and has become the economic division of the imperial court, all the spoils of the navy in the future will be attributed to the imperial court." ”

As soon as he heard this, Kangxi couldn't help but curse in his heart, okay, I really plan to monopolize the silver sold on Luzon Island, this is a huge amount of 50 million, you can build two ocean-going fleets, are you not afraid of being choked to death? ..., the Manchu Dynasty clan relatives and nobles, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also heard the words of the Fourteenth Master at this time, all the spoils of the navy in the future will be attributed to the imperial court, so the previous ones will not be returned to the imperial court, is Luzon considered a trophy? How many tens of thousands does that have to be sold? All of them turned red.

However, before the ocean-going fleet was handed over to the imperial court, it should indeed be regarded as the private armed forces of the fourteenth master, and the warships of the ocean-going fleet, the navy's salary, equipment, clothing, etc. were all paid by the fourteenth master alone.

As soon as Yinzhen paused slightly, he felt countless knife-like eyes scraping around his body, glanced up at Kangxi, and stared at him coldly, and couldn't help but be disdainful in his heart, only tens of millions, as for this, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Build ocean-going warships, establish a naval academy, the emperor Ama and the imperial court are strongly supported, and the ministers plan to use 30% of the silver sold in Luzon Island for the sustainable development of the navy, and the remaining 70% will be injected into it." The Four Heng's use of low-interest lending specifically targets farmers and small artisans to promote business development and enhance farmers' low resilience to famine. ”

As soon as he heard that it was used for the 'Four Constants' low-interest lending, Kangxi couldn't help but relax, low-interest lending is of great significance, this silver is used on this, it can be said that it is beneficial to the country and the people, as for the ownership of the silver, he has no intention of asking again, the old fourteen must have his own arrangements. Sancheng is used for the sustainable development of the navy, and I think it should be used for Yaojin, so this matter can be planned carefully.

A group of clan relatives and nobles, but the minister of civil and military affairs is red-eyed, the fourteenth master is blatantly putting seventy percent into his pocket, at least twenty or thirty million, this money is too easy to earn, but Kangxi has no objections, how can they be troubled?

Since the old fourteenth is so upright, Kangxi is not too much, he should be appeased and appeased, and after a slight groan, he said: "In the war with Spain, the shortcomings of the Great Qingshui Division have been fully revealed, whether it is tactics or warships and artillery, they are all lagging behind the West and can no longer be used.

I decided to set up the Admiralty under the Ministry of War, to oversee the Qing Royal Navy and all coastal naval divisions, and gradually reorganize the major coastal naval divisions and merge them into the navy, with the fourteenth son of the emperor, Wang Yinzhen, in charge of the affairs of the Admiralty. ”
