Chapter 273: Tempting Li Guangdi

(8 points)

Since coming out of Nian'er Hutong, Yinzhen did not return home, but scattered all the way along the Taiye Pond, it was the twilight of spring, the light along the Taiye Pond was infinite, but Yinzhen had no intention of appreciating it, walking all the way, and carefully reminiscing about the situation of meeting Kangxi.

Although Kangxi tried his best to promote and promote the integration of the Manchu and Han people, he never relaxed his vigilance against the Han people, especially in the army, the dispatch of Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei to lead 4,000 navies, and 6,000 green battalions to attack Manila caused Kangxi's dissatisfaction and worry.

And he just wants the navy to stay in the South China Sea to buy time, wouldn't this make Kangxi even more suspicious? If Kangxi vigorously suppressed the Han people in the navy because of this, it would be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh slightly, letting the navy stay in the South Seas and provoke a war with the Netherlands is an established plan, but in fact it is to raise thieves and respect themselves, only by continuing to war, can the navy continue to grow, and only when it faces crises, Kangxi does not dare to easily weaken his control over the navy.

It is absolutely unreliable to ask for others rather than for yourself, and it is absolutely unreliable to pin your hopes completely on Kangxi, with 30,000 or 50,000 navies in hand, controlling Nanyang and Australia, you can be invincible, and only then can you have the capital to argue with Kangxi, so that Kangxi has to make him the prince.

Although Kangxi established the Admiralty, and merged the Tianjin Naval Division, Chongming Naval Division, Fujian Naval Division, and Guangdong Naval Division into the Admiralty, it seems that the position is high and the strength has increased greatly, but in fact, it is impossible to mobilize the Tianjin Naval Division, the Chongming Naval Division is basically an inland water division, and the Guangdong Naval Division has been disabled.

I don't know what Kangxi's intention is, is it really as he said to prepare for the dismissal of the water division in the future? Yinzhen faintly felt that it was not so simple, the merger of these sailors into the navy may be just a prelude, Kangxi must still have a back hand, in terms of power, he is still too tender compared to Kangxi, and he can only take the stupid method of reducing ten meetings with one force.

Thinking of Kangxi asking him to go back to Beijing to experience court affairs, Yinzhen didn't feel a little expectant, if Kangxi really had the heart to make him the prince, it would be completely a situation where a father and son are filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, and they all like it, but how can the world be thought of by people?

Yinzhen pondered all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Shichahai, Da Chun stepped forward and said: "Master, it's not early, the master has been gone for a long time, presumably he is tired, so the slave went to find a sedan chair?" ”

"How can you think so badly?" Yinzhen waved his hand and thought for a moment before asking, "Li Guangdi lives around here, right?" Quite a few words"

Da Chun replied respectfully: "Back to the master, Li Xiangye's mansion is in Ya'er Hutong, which is indeed not far from here." ”

Li Guangdi is an old minister of the Xi Dynasty, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, if you want to say that he is the most able to figure out Kangxi's intentions, talk to him, maybe you can guess Kangxi's true intentions, thinking of this, Yinzhen ordered: "Send someone to Li Guangdi's mansion to inform you, this king will come to visit." ”

As the weather warmed up, Lee Guangdi's health was getting better day by day, and he was in a lot of spirits, but he still did not participate in the usual day. Yinzhen returned to Beijing with a big victory, although he was the standard-bearer of the 14th Party, but out of usual caution, he did not go to the palace to congratulate him, and at his age and position, the surface kung fu was already disdainful.

However, when he heard that Yinzhen was wearing civilian clothes to visit the mansion, Li Guangdi did not dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately changed into regular clothes to welcome him out of the mansion in person, but he wondered in his heart, why did the fourteenth master return to Beijing with a great victory, why would he suddenly come to visit? Is it a gesture, a ceremonial visit? Or is something going on?

Just out of the door of the house, Yinzhen has already walked to the door, Li Guangdi hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to ask Yinzhen for peace, Yinzhen stepped forward and stopped him, and said with a smile: "Li Zhongtang doesn't need to be polite, Yinzhen has been distracted all the way, passing through here, he has visited nearby, and Li Zhongtang has not been disturbed to recuperate, right?" Quite a few words"

Li Guangdi still bowed and said, "The old minister Li Guangdi greets the Fourteenth Master." Standing up, he arched his hand again and said, "Congratulations to the Fourteenth Master on his great naval victory." Then, Fang smiled and said: "The fourteenth master is a distinguished guest, the emperor rewarded Weichen with one or two red robes a few days ago, and I just invited the fourteenth master to taste it." As he spoke, he bowed down and stretched out his hand to give way, "Please." ”

Knowing that Li Guangdi was cautious and disciplined, Yinzhen was not polite, smiled slightly, and stepped forward.

Li Guangdi came to this point, and he also knew that Yinzhen was coming for something, so he directly led Yinzhen to the study, and after the next person served tea, he poured a small cup with his own hands, and then stretched out his hand and said: "This tea is said to be produced by the thousand-year-old tree, the fourteenth master, please." Yinzhen glanced at it, but saw that the soup was orange and bright, and sniffed it lightly, but felt that the aroma was fragrant, with a faint orchid fragrance, and couldn't help but praise: "This tea rock rhyme is obvious, it is indeed extraordinary, before the entrance, it has made the cheeks and teeth fragrant, good tea." ”

Li Guangdi is a native of Fujian, and he is familiar with the big red robe, and when he heard Yinzhen say that the rock rhyme is obvious, he couldn't help but admire: "The word Fourteenth Master Rock Rhyme can be said to be the charm of the big red robe." ”

Yinzhen took a sip and said with a slight aftertaste: "Fujian has many mountains and few places, and it is suitable to vigorously develop the economy in mountainous areas, and tea is the top priority." ”

Developing tea? Li Guangdi didn't expect that Yinzhen would be pulling away from Fujian's tea, and said with a slight startle: "There are a lot of famous teas in Fujian, and the output is also large, but there are countless famous teas in various places, and it is really difficult to open up the situation, and the transportation is inconvenient, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to compete with famous teas from other places." ”

"As far as Li Zhongtang's vision can see, is it only the Qing Dynasty?" Yinzhen smiled slightly.

Li Guangdi hesitated slightly, and said: "The needs of the East are limited, and the Fourteenth Master refers to the West?" However, the purchase of Western purchases over the years is also extremely limited. ”

"Nothing is static." Yinzhen said in the old god: "Yinzhen last year invested 800,000 taels of silver to lay tea outlets, Fujian shipping is developed, and it is the main production area of tea, if you can build a few more large tea gardens, it can benefit future generations." ”

Li Guangdi's heart beat wildly when he heard this, the fourteenth master actually smashed 800,000 taels of silver just to lay a paving channel for buying and selling tea, who is the fourteenth master? That is the person who brought the empty glove white wolf to the extreme, and he only spent 200,000 yuan to annex the 'Four Great Hengs' back then, followed by the ocean-going trade fleet, which cost tens of millions in one fell swoop.

The fourteenth master is now willing to throw 800,000 taels of silver into the tea trade, which shows that he is extremely optimistic about the tea trade, thinking of the fourteenth master's vision, Li Guangdi is slightly excited, Fujian is a large tea-producing province, his hometown Anxi is more famous for tea production, this is a great opportunity for the benefit of future generations......,
