Chapter 142: A huge deficit
After the two went out, Cao Yin took a closer look at Kangxi's secret decree, meditated for a moment, and then ordered it one after another, and when he arranged it properly, Cao Yicai, the young son who had already heard the news and was waiting outside, entered the house and asked with concern: "Amma, but it's urgent?" ”
Cao Yin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Lian Sheng, you are also going to go to Shanghai to meet the Fourteenth Master." ”
Fourteenth Master Yinzhen? Yinzhen's deeds are well known in Jiangning, and he is only one year older than him, Cao Zhen has been admiring it for a long time, and when he heard that he was asked to go to the upper class to meet Yinzhen, he was happy in his heart, and immediately said obediently: "The child listens to Amma's instructions."
Cao Yin didn't have the heart to pay attention to his son's thoughts, and said slowly: "The emperor has toured the south six times, lived in the weaving department five times, and was responsible for the reception of his father four times, and the silver was like splashing water Chapter 142 A huge deficit went out, and the deficit was huge. “
Speaking of this, he sighed with great emotion, and then continued after a long time: "Three million is only on the surface, the actual total deficit has reached more than four million taels, this huge debt, for the father is worried day and night, although the emperor is now trying his best to protect, but the emperor is old, once the dragon controls the guests, the ministers of the court and the central government will attack it, such a huge deficit, even if the new monarch is protected, it is limited, once it is traced, the Cao family will disappear in an instant."
The fourteenth master is well versed in the way of economy, and now he is a party on his own, thinking about his father, and the only one who has the ability to save the Cao family is the fourteenth master.
This time, the emperor ordered the fourteenth master of the fourteenth master of the family to pick and send a powerful and reliable master of the Jianghu family to be his guard, and the holy family of the fourteenth master can be seen from this.
For the Cao family, this is a rare opportunity, you just take the opportunity to send people to Shanghai to meet the fourteenth master, showing the Cao family's heart, Jiangnan three weaving, the same qi and branches, advance and retreat together. “
Early the next morning, Yinzhen came to the Naval Academy.
As soon as Yinzhen's figure appeared, a group of squadron leaders and detachment leaders threw Chapter 142 with a huge deficit and surrounded the training at hand, and after saluting, they all asked in unison to go to Fujian to quell the chaos.
Looking at the group of students who were eager to fight, Yin Zhen said with a smile: "Okay, but good, what the navy needs is generals like you who are eager to fight!" However, this time I went to Fujian, mainly to appease. Also, I would like to remind you not to keep your eyes on the country, but to look at the sea and the ocean! The target of our navy is the navies of the Eastern, Southern, and Western countries! Your priority now is to train, train, and train! Train yourself and your men to become a world-class navy! Your battlefield is in the Great Teaching! The dean is here to assure you that the navy has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and don't worry about not having the opportunity to make meritorious contributions! Do you understand? “
"Understood." The crowd responded.
The "good" are all gone, what to do and what to do. Wu Ge, who had hurried over, commanded loudly.
After everyone dispersed, Yin Zhen said to Wu Ge: "Form another team of Fujian students" to go to Fujian with me, are there any outstanding children of families in Fujian? ”
"Yes." Wu Ge blurted out without thinking about it: ", Lan Li, the land governor of Fujian, is a role model for the wealthy family of the Huijian family" The number of children of the Fujian family who participated in the army is the largest, and there are many excellent ones. “
Wu Ge's reminder, Yin Zhen remembered that during the expedition to Taiwan, many children of Fujian were rewarded for their meritorious service, and since then they have been squeezed into the ranks of large wealthy families, "Well, summon them all to the dean's office, and I will meet them." ”
Yin Zhen just went to the dean's room and sat down, and there was a loud "report" sound outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, and soon understood that these Fujian children should have been in the group of people who were asking for war just now, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Come in." “
The four of them walked in neatly, saluted one by one and said, "Squadron Leader Lin Wei, report to the dean." "Detachment leader Chen Ping'an reported to the dean."
Detachment leader Wang Tang reported to the dean.
Detachment leader Zhang Changan reported to the dean.
Yin Zhen returned the salute and looked at them one by one before asking, "Which of you is familiar with the terrain of Fujian?" “
Lin Wei stepped forward and said, "Report to the dean, I have followed the caravan of my family to many places, and I know a little about one or two. ”
Eight squadron leaders, the Han clan only accounts for three, this Lin Wei can be promoted to the first batch of squadron leaders, it should not be simple, look at his demeanor calmly, action etiquette norms, concise and clear words, very good demeanor, Yinzhen nodded, "Well, talk about it." ”
"Fujian southeast of the sea, there are four small plains in the territory, the others are all mountains, known as "eight mountains, one water and one field", because of the terrain is dangerous, so the territory of the pass is all over, there are 89 passes, 376 passes, 185 villages, the passage to Jiangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang provinces is also a dangerous road, narrow road, since ancient times it is difficult to enter and difficult to get out, bulk goods, population flow is to take the sea route. “
Yin Zhen really didn't know about the topography of Fujian, because Fujian was neither an economic, agricultural or military land, but also a military land, and the only thing he paid attention to was only the ports along the coast of Fujian. At this time, when he heard that there were many passes in Fujian, and it was also a dangerous and narrow road to other provinces, he was relieved at that time, no wonder Kangxi was not very concerned about the violent movement of the hungry people in Fujian, so it was, he couldn't help asking: "What are the four small plains in Fujian?" “
Lin Weilang replied, "The four plains are the Wanzhou Plain, the Fuzhou Plain, the Putian Plain and the Quanzhou Plain, all of which are distributed in the coastal areas. “
In this way, didn't the riot of the hungry people in Fujian sweep through the three plains of Fujian? Only the Fuzhou Plain was spared, Yin Zhen's heart sank, this had to be appeased by hurrying up, and after a deep groan, he continued to ask: "What do you think of the riots of the hungry people in Fujian?" “
Lin Wei's throat moved, but he didn't make a sound, but took a step back, and returned to the queue, Yinzhen saw his actions and was greatly surprised, this Lin Wei is good, he knows how to advance and retreat at a young age, and he knows how to give his subordinates a chance to come out, cultivate it well, and he is a general.
After a pause, Wang Tang took a step to report to the dean, the hungry people in Fujian rioted, and the mark was stealing, and the saint's handling strategy was extremely wise. Fujian is barren and poor, since ancient times, the people have been fierce and aggressive, coupled with the treacherous terrain, overlapping passes, and the encirclement and suppression of large armies. Mark the humble opinion, if it is peaceful today, the people do not say that they live and work in peace and contentment, at least they can barely survive with food and clothing, but if there is a chance to live, who wants to rebel? If today's grace is vast, and the dean has strong financial resources, he will go to Fujian, and the violent and hungry people will definitely return to the wind. “
Lin Wei and the three of them were faintly worried when they heard Wang Tang say it so bluntly.
This is a straight character, knowledgeable, but can only stay in the navy, Yin Zhen made a conclusion to Wang Tang in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's all right, as a naval admiral, you must not only be good at observing and observing, but also be diligent in thinking, and you must continue to learn, land warfare must understand the geography and terrain, and naval warfare is more demanding, not only to understand ocean currents, monsoons, routes, but also to understand the coastal terrain and island distribution of various oceans and seas, I hope you will strengthen your learning." Okay, let's go back and prepare, and go to Fujian with the dean to quell the chaos. “
In two days, Yinzhen made all the preparations, and early on the morning of the third day, a group of six people, including Bahai, Lai Xi and Cao Hao, also rushed to Shanghai.
Liuchun Garden, as soon as he saw Yinzhen, the first-class imperial guard Bahai took everyone to kneel down and salute in a proper manner, "Slave Bahai asks for peace to the prince." “
Yin Zhen already knew in Kangxi's secret letter that Bahai would bring a few masters to protect his safety, and couldn't help but look at a few people, except for Bahai and Laixi, the other four were all in civilian clothes, one was older, two were about thirty, and the other looked younger than himself, and couldn't help muttering to himself, this is afraid that it is a handsome family.
How did Cao Hao know that Yinzhen regarded him as a master, he knew that Yinzhen didn't know him, and after getting up, he said, "Slave Cao Hao, knock on the fourteenth master." Then he bowed again.
Cao Hao? Yin Zhen Yileng, Cao Xueqin's uncle? glanced at Cao Hao, who was burly and thick-eyed and big-eyed, he was very puzzled, why did he die so early when his body was so strong? What is he doing here? Do you want to go to Fujian too? Kangxi didn't mention this in the letter, and after thinking about it for a while, he estimated that there was something else, so he ordered: "Dachun, accompany Bahai to familiarize them with it first." “
After the group went out, Yin Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "Sit." “
Hanging Yinzhen sat down, Cao Hao sat down carefully, he knew that Yinzhen was busy, and immediately bowed and said, "My father should have come in person, but he was old and frail, and he couldn't hurry, for fear of delaying the official duties of the fourteenth master, he was just a little forward, and he took the liberty of begging the fourteenth master to forgive me."
The fourteenth master has been in Shanghai for a long time, but he has never set foot in Jiangning, his father wants to visit the house, and he is afraid of soliciting things. “
Came all the way to say goodbye? Yin Zhen secretly wondered in his heart, what does Cao Yin mean? Jiangnan three weaving is headed by the Cao family, in Jiangnan can be said to be a flourishing moment, others do not know, he is very clear, the Cao family is far from Jiangning weaving, Huaiyan supervision envoy so single, he is Kangxi's spy head in Jiangnan, responsible for supervising Jiangnan officials and all parties on the rivers and lakes of private forces, anti-Qing organizations, etc., it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the godfather of Jiangnan.
But he has no relationship with him, why is he in a hurry to see him? Got in trouble in the capital? With Kangxi's favor to him, there is no reason to come to himself, now he is in a hurry to go on the expedition, and he has no time to think carefully, glancing at Cao Hao, Yinzhen slowly said: "Let's just say it, what's the trouble?" “
Cao Hao was ordered to come to show his intentions, and immediately said: "The fourteenth master is far-reaching, has a unique vision, is good at military affairs, and understands the economy.
Za Zhen is a leng, Cao Yin is the leader of Kangxi's secret agents, just like Dai Li, the military commander, this is to join the 14th Party? Isn't he afraid that Kangxi will know about it and cause a catastrophe? What happened to the Cao family? After pondering for a long time, he asked coldly, "What's the trouble?" “
Seeing Yinzhen's repeated questions, Cao Hao had to say truthfully: "Last year, the governor Kali impeached his father for owing three million taels of silver to two Huai salt, and the emperor suppressed it, and my father said that the actual deficit was more than four million yuan, which could not be filled, so he was worried about it.
