Chapter 703 Labor Export
As soon as Mandu Hu's words fell, the room was quiet, Bumuba, Orodai, and Arsonga were all speechless, if Kangxi did not oppose the new policy, what would be the fate waiting for them? Zhenwu has repeatedly stated in front of his brothers that he will not pursue the fight for the throne, but his name has been decided, so he will not allow any more dissent.
This master is not a generous and benevolent lord, when the auxiliary general Surda was forcibly exiled to Australia by him, and then there was no news, I think it has been cut down and eradicated, they don't want to follow in its footsteps, although Zhenwu is not generous, but it is true to his word, since he ascended the throne, the reuse of the members of the eight parties, that is, the third and fourth people are rarely implicated, although they are not treated, but Zhenwu has not been ruthless to repair them, if this time if it is to cause trouble, it must be a new account and an old account.
After a long silence, Arsona spoke: "Although the emperor has only been on the throne for a year, he has confiscated the military power of the lower five banners, vigorously expanded the scale of the navy and the new army of the Praetorian Guard, and greatly increased the salary of the green battalion, making the green battalion and the eight banners pay the same salary. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were also greatly encircled, the shackles of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing were lifted, the welfare of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing was increased, and the livelihood of the people in the Beijing Banners was solved by increasing the number of soldiers and the workshops for the bannermen to join the army, which can be said to have won the hearts of the military.
Even if the Emperor Taishang is dissatisfied with what the emperor did, it is not yet known who killed the deer, and besides, the eighth master is unwilling to come forward, in my opinion, it is better to wait and see. ”
Seeing that Arsonga and Mandu Hudu were retreating, Oro Dai glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "Wait and see? Now all the officials and gentry are watching, all the civil and military officials in the court are also watching, and the princes and nobles of the royal family are also watching.
Three years and five years later, when the new navy guard completely replaced the Eight Banners Green Battalion, and when a large number of upstarts who were only loyal to the emperor rose to the court, even if the emperor intensified his embezzlement and exploitation of the interests of the princes and nobles, officials and gentry, who would dare to neigh? ”
Mandu Hu said disapprovingly: "I am in favor of waiting and seeing." The new policy is the first major government affairs after the emperor ascended the throne and changed the yuan. What is the price of neighing horses? One more point, have you ever thought about it? The feudal kingdom of the Americas is inseparable from the support of the emperor and the support of the navy.
The eighth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, the thirteenth master, and the fifteenth master will immediately divide Africa, how many princes and nobles are involved behind this? The eighth master has already released rumors, and the emperor intends to divide the third, fifth, seventh, and twelfth masters in South America. Compared with overseas feudals, the little silver lost by the officials and gentry on an errand is not worth mentioning at all, who wants to offend the emperor to death? ”
Hearing this, Bu Muba couldn't help but be stunned, there are dozens of princes and nobles in the Americas, although the eight masters and others are the main ones in Africa. But there are also many princes and nobles who are attached to the country overseas, and everyone has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to offend Zhenwu, and it will be ironclad that they will lose all their money.
No wonder Zhenwu dared to offend the gentry of the whole world and the princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military officials, and couldn't wait to try out the new policy. It's the Navy. The navy is Zhenwu's greatest capital, and no one in the Qing Dynasty can control the navy. Kangxi can't come forward, unless Zhenwu dies!
After being silent for a long time, Bu Muba slowly spoke: "This is a good point, the royal family, even if the Eight Banners are dissatisfied, no one is willing, and they dare not tear their faces to offend the emperor, but for the sake of overseas feudalism, all the royal family relatives and the Eight Banners are all exhausted, and some are even in debt, and absolutely no one will vigorously support the new deal." ”
"Not necessarily." Arsuna took it in one mouthful, "The new policy is now only being tried in Shanxi, and it will be fully promoted, and it will be three or five years later.
The reason why there are so many royal clansmen now, the Eight Banners and nobles are panicked, but it is just a momentary panic, the emperor doesn't even need to reprimand, as long as he analyzes it a little, he will understand which is more important. ”
"Imperial family members, the Eight Banners are not opposed to the new policy, who dares to speak up as a member of the Chinese martial arts?" Mandu Hu said in a deep voice: "Even if the new deal is not in a thousand ways, but it is the great benefit of the imperial court, the small people, with these two articles, the emperor dares to unscrupulously attack the opponents." ”
Oro Dai was upset when he heard this, and said in a muffled voice: "Since this is the case, why do you want to encourage the eighth master to come forward? ”
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Man Duhu glanced at him and said lightly: "I want to encourage the eighth master to test it and see if the eighth master still has ambitions." The new policy offended the officials and gentry all over the world, once it is fully implemented, it will definitely be full of complaints, if the eighth master has a heart, this is a great opportunity, can be arranged calmly, if the eighth master is unintentional, then there is nothing to say, just live with peace of mind. "I think we're going to live in peace." Arsonga said with some frustration: "The eighth master is very affectionate, and he will never do anything to rebel and usurp the throne, and the ninth and tenth masters are now like fish in water, and they will never fully support the eighth master." ”
"I don't think so." Bu Muba said in a deep voice: "For the king and the minister, it can be said that there is a difference between cloud and mud, and no matter how high the power is, it is also a courtier, and a will can be taken away completely, how can ambition be easily eliminated?" The eighth uncle is just trying his best to hide it, the ninth uncle, the tenth uncle and the eighth uncle are both prosperous and lossy, if the eighth uncle really makes a move, even if they are unwilling, they will fully support it. ”
Oro Dai's spirit perked up when he heard this, and said: "That is the case, the current opportunity should not be missed, we can arrange it secretly first, and then persuade the eighth master when the time is ripe." ”
Bu Muba nodded and said, "In this case, we must vigorously support the emperor to implement the new policy." ”
Because there is no need to go to the early dynasty, Zhenwu rarely slept a lazy night, until the three poles of the sun, only Shi Shiran got up, after breakfast, he went to the front hall of the Ning residence to review the folds, for the debate between the Beijing newspaper and the Ning newspaper, he did not care, even if the Ning Bao was defeated, it was still glorious despite the defeat, after this war, the Ning Bao can be said to be a war to become famous, the Qing Dynasty does not sin people, can not help but think, respect for historical facts will also be opened.
Of course, the role of Ningbao is far more than that, as the pioneer of the Minbao, this is the first step taken by Ningbao, Zhenwu not only wants to use Ningbao to promote Western learning, supervise the locality, but also let Ningbao lead the ideological trend of the Qing Dynasty, since the debate has begun, let him stick to it, as for the subject matter of the debate, it is too much, he does not have to worry at all.
Because Zhenwu has a purpose, not early, and no one in the ministers came to meet early, everyone knows that Zhenwu is galloping all the way, running around for days, and it is understandable to rest for a day.
It wasn't until noon that Bao Fuquan bowed in to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Lian Yinxi, Nian Qianyao, and Zheng Shichang are handing over signs outside to ask for a meeting. ”
Zhenwu nodded, the three of them must have come together as an invitation, and he casually ordered, "Let them in." ”
Yinxi, Nian Qianyao, and Zheng Shichang kowtowed to the hall to say goodbye, Zhenwu put down his pen, glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”
After the three of them sat down, Zhenwu asked with a smile: "Zheng Shichang, the 'Four Great Hengs' will open the semicolon to the Wa Kingdom, is there any difficulty?" ”
Zheng Shichang discussed this matter with Yinxi yesterday, and the war indemnity of the Japanese State still has 3 million taels of gold, and if it is in terms of silver, it is 36 million taels of silver, which is more than enough even if the semicolon is opened all over the Japanese State. For the 'Four Great Hengs', this is a rare opportunity to try, the Qing Dynasty has many vassal states, and commerce is prosperous, and the semicolon of the 'Four Hengs' will take this step sooner or later.
He hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no difficulty in opening a branch in the Japanese country, but the language is not comprehensible, and it is inevitable to hire the Japanese people to work for the 'four constants'." ”
Zhenwu smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, the Wa Kingdom has always admired the culture and customs of our Celestial Empire, and there are many people who are proficient in Chinese, so they can be hired, but the hired Japanese personnel must be registered in the Wa State Shogunate." As he spoke, he looked at Yinxi and said, "Does Arai Junmi have an opinion on this?" ”
"Back to the emperor." Yin Yu bowed slightly and said: "Arai Junmi is full of promises, but he hopes that the shogunate can participate in the shares, at least fifty percent, and I sincerely ask that gold, silver and copper will not be transferred out of the country within three years." ”
Zhenwu couldn't help but smile when he heard it, where did this ugly ghost agree, he was obviously refusing, and the shogunate could still take out three million gold to buy shares? If he doesn't transfer gold, silver and copper out of the country within three years, it is even more of a joke, he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Shichang and said, "Zheng Shichang, what do you think about this?" ”
Zheng Shichang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the Japanese country is not rich in products, except for gold, silver and copper, there is really no goods that can be traded in large quantities, and furthermore, the Japanese country is forbidden to the sea, and the trade between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese country is all the Qing maritime merchants, since the branch of the 'Four Great Hengs' is opened to the Japanese State, the Great Qing Dynasty maritime merchants must all be paid with silver tickets, so if the 'Four Great Hengs' pay the trade difference for the Japanese State, this will greatly occupy the principal and silver of the 'Four Hengs'. ”
Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said, "Arai Junmi is not an ignorant person, since he dares to put forward such harsh conditions, he will definitely be rewarded, right?" ”
"The Emperor Mingjian." Yin Yu bowed and said: "Arai Junmei is willing to provide 100,000 young and strong laborers to the Americas and Australia to help open up the wasteland for five years. ”
Zhenwu couldn't help but be stunned when he listened, labor export? This Arai Junmi is really not simple, after a little thought, he vaguely guessed that Arai Junmi may be trying to take this opportunity to weaken the power of a number of powerful clans, but this account, no matter how it is calculated, seems to be a little lost, and after a little groaning, he said: "What do you think about this?"
