Borrowing Persia and Bukhara Khanate to conquer Dzungaria, in fact, it is the meaning of a false way to conquer Dzungaria, Yinren was greatly excited to hear it, if this is the case, Persia is not a place of exile, but the base camp of the army on the southern road, the old fourteen is really going to use him, thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Even if the minister works hard and does his best, he will never fail the emperor's trust." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said, "You select a thousand guards to go to the Guangzhou Naval Academy for training and learn the use of new firearms." ”

A thousand guards, Yinren couldn't help but be secretly happy when he heard this, but he became sad when he thought about it, a thousand guards, where did he get so much silver to feed? These personal guards are all fed with silver, without silver, even if it is a prince, it is not easy to speak, not to mention that it is a foreign country thousands of miles away, and the silver will be doubled, glancing at Zhenwu, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister is now strapped for money, a thousand personal guards, and the minister is quite worried." ”

Yinren didn't have any cash on hand, Zhenwu naturally knew this, and it didn't mean that he had to buy people's hearts with a large amount of money when he rebelled, even if he had a silver ticket in hand, and the three years of seclusion in Xian'an Palace were almost spent, but he didn't want to give out this silver, and he groaned slightly, and he said: "I conquered Africa for gold and silver, Persia layout, and the court has no money to support." ”

Running out of money? So how did the situation in Persia open? When you go out, what don't you spend money? Yinren couldn't help it, what does Zhenwu mean by this? Could it be that he should go and raise money by himself, what kind of joke is this, this is not a small amount, even if he wants to break his family for the country, then he must have a family to break, he is still in solitary confinement.

Seeing Yinren's puzzled face, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly. Said: "The purpose of the Qing Dynasty's overseas expeditions is to plunder, how can it be reasonable to stick silver?" I told the 'Four Great Hengs' that they would lend you one million taels of silver, five cents of interest, and pay it off in two years. ”

Pay off in two years. That is to say, next year at the latest, he can go to Persia, Yinren can't help but secretly rejoice, borrow a million! He really didn't expect Zhenwu to open his mouth to be one million, and the interest rate of five cents was a bit high. The interest for one month will be 50,000 taels, and in two years, the principal and interest will be 2.2 million, but there are soldiers in hand and you are worried about the lack of silver? However, how could Lao Fourteen lend him so much silver, it can't be to solicit business for the 'Four Hengs', right?

As soon as he thought about it, he understood. This million was used by him to buy firearms for warships, and thinking of the benefits of the navy's firearms for warships, he couldn't help but be greatly excited, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Within two years, the minister will definitely create a great situation in Persia." It can supply at least 50,000 troops. ”

Seeing that Yinren was a little clear, Zhenwu also felt greatly relieved, nodded his head, and said: "I will then auction off the routes from the Qing Dynasty to overseas, and the routes from Persia are also among them. He said. He stood up and said, "The eldest brother's direct county palace has also been unsealed, and his target is the Arab and Ottoman Empires. ”

Yinren couldn't help but be stunned when he listened. Do you want to get involved with Yinyu, a sworn enemy?

It is a happy event to add officials and knights, naturally it is to feast guests, Zhenwu has promoted more than ten brothers in one breath, the whole imperial city is very lively, a number of princes and nobles, civil and military ministers, and various officials are all turning around the Shangfu to congratulate, and no one dares to have the slightest neglect. Zhenwu's brothers who were promoted this time, if nothing else. In the future, it will be of great use, how can the ready-made hot stove not burn?

It's just that this circle has turned down, everyone's purse has deflated a lot, and the officials with a slightly lower grade and no real power will only have to borrow money to survive this month, but fortunately, the news of the increase has come out, and they are all looking forward to it, I don't know how much they can add? Judging from the situation of the green camp salary, it is very likely to be doubled.

The next day, the news came out from the study, with the permission of Zhenwu, the green camp salary has been finalized, the salary is completely in accordance with the standards of the Eight Banners, considering that the scale of the warehouses in various places is not as large as the capital, and the rice is increased to one Hu (five buckets), which will be officially implemented in August, and the benefits of the Eight Banners will not be borne by the imperial court, and will be paid by Zhenwu from the inside.

As soon as the news spread, everyone was happy, and the green camp was overjoyed, and they could share the salary with the Eight Banners, which was a good thing that they never dreamed of on weekdays, but they didn't expect Zhenwu to help them achieve it after half a year on the throne, and all the soldiers and generals were smiling, the salary and silver doubled, and the salary and grain also increased from three buckets to five buckets, what is not satisfied?

The Eight Banners generals were also overjoyed, although it was not clear how much benefits would be added, but they could think of it with their toes, and it would definitely not be lower than the increase of the Green Battalion, besides, this was all paid by Zhenwu from within, which was enough to show that Zhenwu still relied heavily on the Eight Banners, which made the Eight Banners generals who had been worried about being marginalized breathe a sigh of relief.

A group of court officials were also very happy, the salary of the green camp doubled, and the increase in the officials' salaries would not be low, and it would definitely be doubled. Moreover, the welfare of the Eight Banners does not have to be burdened by the imperial court, which not only reduces the burden of the imperial court, but also an extremely obvious signal that the imperial court has begun to gradually strip away the big burden of the Eight Banners.

Even a group of princes and nobles are very satisfied with this, although the salary of the green camp is the same as that of the Eight Banners, but the salary is still a little lower than that of the Eight Banners, although the gap is not obvious, but there is still a trace of the gap is not, they are also at ease because of this, and the resistance is much less, and the officials are the biggest beneficiaries, therefore, after the news came out, the voice of dissatisfaction immediately disappeared.

On 20 April, the Beijing newspaper issued an edict to auction off the permanent franchise of all sea routes, which was scheduled to be auctioned in Shanghai on the first day of the first day of July, followed by a detailed list of auction routes, all of which were specific to a certain port, such as Shanghai to Edo, Tianjin to Osaka, Guangzhou to Luzon Manila, Dagu Domain, Xiamen to Hoi An, Pattani, and so on.

The princes and nobles of the Beijing Division, the gentry officials, and the wealthy merchants were immediately boiling, and everyone knew in their hearts that this so-called franchise of sea routes was actually a monopoly on trade between the two places, and it was a permanent monopoly, a monopoly protected by the Qing court, what did this mean?

The Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty is constantly expanding its military and building ships, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of expansion is quite amazing, which is well known, the pirates in the waters around the Qing Dynasty have been recruited or wiped out, coupled with the establishment of Australia and Nanyang provinces, Japan is called a vassal, and the Americas are divided into feuds, so to speak, it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to close the sea again, as long as the Qing Dynasty does not collapse, the route franchise can be passed down from generation to generation.

The current national strength of the Qing Dynasty is far beyond the pre-Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the soldiers, chasing the Yuan and Meng, and the social stability, will open a period of prosperity that is rare in a hundred years, as long as there are no major changes, inheritance for a hundred years, it is not a problem at all.

Moreover, those with a little vision know that the Qing Dynasty will soon usher in an unprecedented maritime trade boom, and all of this is promoted by the current emperor Zhenwu, and Zhenwu is only twenty-six years old this year, it is in his prime, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely become stronger and stronger under his governance.

In this case, the franchise of owning a route, its value and the profits that can be generated, are not at all comparable to investing in other industries, this is completely an old hen that lays golden eggs, and it is an old hen that can live for more than a hundred years, but all those who are rich in financial resources are excited, and those who are slightly weaker in financial resources have also begun to invite people to join forces.

Raojun Wang Yinyu has no interest in the route franchise, there are gold mines and slave trafficking on the Gold Coast of Africa, where can he still see this idea of small money, some princes and nobles who are familiar with him on weekdays invited him to join the shares, he did not hesitate to push, not that the silver is hot, but to avoid suspicion, if Zhenwu knows that he is still meddling in these things, if he is not good, he will leave a greedy and dissatisfied impression, it is really worth the loss.

After pushing a few groups of visitors, Yinyu was also quite bored, and was about to go out of the city to Zhuangzi outside the city to avoid it, but he heard the report that Prince Lian was invited. He estimated that it was also for the exclusive business of the route, so he walked out and scattered all the way.

Entered Prince Lian's mansion and asked Ming Yinxi in the study, he didn't need to be reported, he rushed over, as soon as he entered the study, he found that Yinqi, Yinxiang, Prince Yu Baotai, Shuncheng County King Bu Muba, Xinjun Wang Dezhao were all there, I couldn't help but wonder secretly, what happened, how could the starling call so many people, don't you have to avoid suspicion?

Seeing Lao Jiu come in, everyone couldn't help but get up to salute, and only after a little greeting did they sit down one after another, Yin Yu said with a smile: "The title is promoted, the ninth brother and the sixteenth brother should also choose a day to return to Tianjin, and the tenth brother will also return to the Shunyi camp, the emperor asked me to make a trip for a few brothers, stay for a while, the fifteenth brother and the sixteenth brother will also come over, let's get together today." ”

Yin Yu couldn't help but suddenly, it turned out that it was for this matter, it seems that he has to enter the palace tomorrow to resign, Zhenwu is urging them to leave Beijing, he smiled and said: "It's really time to go back to Tianjin, I really can't rest assured to leave these days." ”

Yin Qi said with a smile: "Brother Jiu is good at dancing with long sleeves, can someone invite you to join the franchise of this route?" ”

"I don't want to get involved in this, and I don't have that spare money." Yin Yu chuckled: "After a few rounds, I pushed them all neatly." ”

"The ninth brother handled it very properly." Yin Yu nodded with a smile and said, "You'd better not get involved in this matter." ”

Listening to Yinxi's words, Bao Tai was very concerned, and hurriedly asked: "Why did the starling say this, but?" He said and pointed upwards with his hand.

"Not really." Yin Yu smiled slightly: "The emperor attaches great importance to the division of the Americas, you have that spare money, and it is only right to try your best to develop the American feudal country, and besides, have you carefully considered this permanent route franchise?" After a slight pause, he continued: "The emperor's move is not only to collect money, but also to control and standardize the management of overseas trade, these two points can be thought of by everyone, but I think that the emperor should still have a little meaning, tying up maritime merchants." ”
