The salaries of the court officials should also be increased! Yinlu and a few people were greatly excited, their Yulu can be much higher than the officials, increase the Yulu, they are the biggest beneficiaries, several people did not expect that in order to implement the integration of the Manchu and Han, Zhenwu is willing to pay such a big price, this matter, even if a group of Manchu people are dissatisfied, they do not dare to say a little, who dares to speak out, will inevitably become the target of the public.

Yin Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor is a celestial object, and he is sympathetic to his subordinates, which is really the blessing of all officials and the blessing of all the people in the world." Respectfully, the Divine Decree. ”

Yin Yu also hurriedly said: "The number of officials has not increased for many years, and as soon as the news spreads, tens of thousands of officials in the Qing Dynasty will inevitably look up to God." ”

Zhenwu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No outsiders, don't make such false manners." As he spoke, he said to Yinyu: "Tomorrow is eighteen, Daji, I plan to reward a group of brothers tomorrow, the title of the ninth brother, I want to change it to 'Rao', what do you think?" ”

Rao is rich, when Yinyu heard this, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he hurriedly got up and knelt down and said: "The minister congratulates the emperor for giving the number." ”

Zhenwu smiled and said: "No business, no life, no work, no wealth, I have high hopes for you." ”

No business, no life, no work, no wealth, Yinyu reacted immediately, Zhenwu is to let his prime minister business and a military industry, civilian workshop, he was busy kowtowing excitedly: "Congratulations to the emperor for his grace." ”

Listening to the reward tomorrow, Yinxi and several people are secretly happy in their hearts, and they are finally looking forward to this day, Yinxi and Yinqi are the prince of the county, and then they are the prince, but there is not much suspense, but the ninth and thirteenth are both Baylor Jue, I don't know if they are promoted to the king of the county, or directly to the prince of the county? Even people are secretly speculating, but they don't dare to ask.

The three of them entered the palace today. It was originally for the division of Africa, but seeing that Zhenwu was in a very good mood at this time, after Yinyu sat down, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." However, for the sake of the reputation of the imperial court, the garrison should not participate, and the ordinary banner people are not competent, so the fifteenth brother proposed to follow the example of the capital to rectify the public security. We have carried out public order rectification in various localities, and sent a group of idle gangsters and abduction gangsters to Africa to form slave hunting teams. matter. The ministers thought so, but they didn't dare to make their own decisions, and implored the emperor to make a holy decision. ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly. Lao 15 is a quick learner, this method is good, using these bastards to play as a slave hunting team can be said to make the best use of their talents, this move, not only rectified the public order in various places, but also out of thin air to get a powerful slave hunting team. It's the best of both worlds.

After a little hesitation, he said: "This discussion is very good and allowed, but it is limited to the six provinces of Liangjiang and Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, and there is no need for too many members of the African slave catching team. One thousand is more than enough, and it can be divided into a part of Nanyang. The development of Australia required the farmers of the Mughal Empire. As for the members of the slave hunting team, it is necessary to increase their interest in catching slaves according to the commission of the captured slaves, so as to quickly form a scale. ”

Seeing Zhenwu's readily permission, Yinxu and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Ministers." Raising his head, Yin Yi was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, Shandong is near the sea, and since ancient times, the people have been fierce, there are many lawbreakers, and the gangsters in Tianjin are even more famous, why not rectify it?" ”

Zhenwu glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "The gangsters of Shandong and Zhili, I am reserved for the Japanese, who are familiar with agriculture and have a population of tens of millions, and are the best slaves to develop North America. ”

Listening to this, several people are the same, Japan is now a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, why does Zhenwu still want to capture slaves in Japan? Yinxiang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, catching slaves in Japan, the ministers are worried about causing criticism in the government and the opposition, and they are also afraid of causing panic in various vassal states. ”

"It's not the imperial court that came forward, so why criticize it?" Zhenwu said disapprerovingly: "The coastal vassal states are just good in name, I am not good at fame, and the imperial court should be more pragmatic, besides, Japan is closed to the country, and the Qing Dynasty will also monopolize Japan's maritime trade, so as not to cause panic among other vassals, of course, in order to prevent material discussions, let them change their names to sound good." ”

As he spoke, he changed the topic and said: "The conquest of Africa, the navy will go out in September or even earlier, the gold mining and slave hunting in Ghana must be formed as soon as possible, and the eight banners, the green battalion will be paid, and the officials will be paid a lot of money, and I will point to Africa to fill it." ”

"Honorable Ministers." The four of them bowed down and said.

Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "Well, kneel down." ”

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, after the Yuehua Gate, Yinxiang said to Yinxi: "Starling, I'll go to the study first and talk to them about the green camp salary." ”

Yin Yu nodded slightly: "Stabilizing the morale of the army is the first priority. As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them again, and said with a solemn expression: "You can say anything about salary, salary, and welfare, but if the emperor wants to break the Manchu and Han domains, he can't reveal anything at all." ”

"Brother starling, don't worry, Thirteen understands how powerful this is." Yinxiang said with a smile, turned around and went straight to the study.

After the old thirteen left, the old nine Yinyu said softly: "Brother Starling, now that the emperor has collected all the military power, why should he be so cautious?" ”

"Didn't the emperor say that it is not a day's work to eliminate the Manchu and Han domains." Yin Xi said slowly while walking: "Huang Ama is not ignorant that the governance of the world must rely on the Han people, Huang Ama has taken a series of gentle measures, such as respecting Confucius and Mencius, sacrificing to the Confucian Temple, opening erudition and vocabulary, compiling classics, touring the south of the Yangtze River, summoning celebrities, and opening a thousand banquets last year.

However, Huang Ama was only limited to the Han people, and did not touch the status and interests of the banner people, and did not waver in the slightest on the point of the first worship of Manchuria, but the emperor was different, the first in the navy to promote the Manchu and Han, and now the introduction of the green camp, the eight banners of the same example, this is in the military system to implement the integration of the Manchu and Han, this move is tantamount to an impact on the status of the eight banners, shaking the ancestral system of the first Manchuria. ”

Speaking of this, Yinxi lowered his voice and said, "How many people are there in our Manchus?" If it is really the unity of the Manchu and Han dynasties, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty become the world of the Han people? Therefore, the words of eliminating the Manchu and Han dynasties cannot be said at present, otherwise the royal family and the princes and nobles will inevitably rise up in a group. ”

Yin Qi muttered: "Those old guys are more refined than monkeys with hair, as soon as the news spreads, how can they not find out the true intentions behind the emperor?" ”

"Tenth brother, there are some things that can be done but not said." Yin Yu said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know what to say, who dares to stand up and admonish, this move violates the ancestral system and is suspected of shaking the foundation of the Eight Banners?" If the emperor pushes the boat down the river and cancels the salary, salary, and welfare, what will be the result? The public target is still a trivial matter, and there may be concerns about chaotic soldiers making trouble, but the infantry army commander Yamen has both a green camp and eight banners, which is not a joke. ”

Yin Qi couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder the emperor is increasing salaries and benefits, tossing such a big movement, it is intended to seal his mouth, he groaned slightly, and he opened his mouth again: "Starling, the military power of all banners has been deprived by the emperor, how else can they make trouble?" ”

"The tenth brother has been in the Shunyi camp for a long time, and he thinks of soldiers at every turn, even if they have military power in their hands, is it difficult to dare to war?" Yin Yu teased.

Yinxi smiled slightly, and said, "Don't say anything else, just moving out of the ancestral system is enough for the emperor to have a headache, besides, Huang Ama is still alive." ”

The south side of the Qianqing Gate is on the study.

Except for Fu Ning'an, who was still in Henan to arrange disaster relief and aftermath matters and did not return to Beijing, the other five people stayed in the study room regardless of whether they were on duty or not, and after the high pension of the navy was published in Beijing, several people all had a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and they paid attention to the excerpts presented in various places, especially the excerpts of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion generals stationed in various places.

Yinxiang arrived at the door, and several eunuchs standing outside the gate were busy beating Qian'er and said, "The slave waits for the thirteenth master." ”

The voices of the few people who listened were loud, and Yinxiang couldn't help laughing: "Are you asking for peace to the master, or are you ventilating the news?" ”

Hearing the movement outside, the five people in the study couldn't help but glance at each other, all of them expected that there was a will, and they were busy sorting out the court clothes and putting them on, getting up to greet each other, and when Yinxiang entered the door, the five people hurriedly left their seats to greet them, but Yinxiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, don't make these false courtesies." ”

Zhang Pengxi and Ma Qi couldn't help but wonder secretly, didn't they have a will? However, a few people didn't dare to slack off, they still bowed down, got up, and Zhang Pengxi said in a deep voice: "The Thirteenth Master wants to see His Majesty, but the emperor has a will?" ”

Yinxiang sat down casually and said, "Don't be formal, I'm just stopping by to spread the word."

Hearing this, Zhang Pengxi and Ma Qi sat down separately, Yinxiang glanced at the five of them, and then said: "The emperor asked me to discuss with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials with the upper study, and come over to say hello first, so that you can have the bottom of your heart." As he spoke, he repeated Zhenwu's edict.

As soon as they heard about the increase in the food rate of the green camp, and the example of the Eight Banners, Ma Qi and Xiao Yongzao couldn't help but be surprised, Zhang Pengxi also frowned slightly, this time it was a big game, and he was muttering to himself, Song Zhu had already opened his mouth and said: "Thirteenth Master, how can the food and salary of the Green Camp be the same as the Eight Banners?" Isn't that a mess? ”

"It's just that it's the same on the surface, how can the benefits of the Eight Banners be comparable to the Green Camp?" Yin Xiang said with a smile.

"Welfare is just a secret subsidy, which is not justified and unspoken." Song Zhu said in a fierce tone: "The Green Camp and the Eight Banners are an example, where does this make the face of the Eight Banners go?" ”

"Face is earned by yourself, not by others." Yinxiang said lightly: "Songzhongtang is also an old military officer, and the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing say that it is compared with the navy, and it is compared with the new Praetorian Guard Army in Shunyi, and it is also a superior judgment." Haven't you wondered why the emperor put the Eight Banners and the Green Camp's food and salary on the same example? Why is the salary of the Navy and the Janissaries higher than that of the Eight Banners Green Battalion? ”
