Listening to Yinxiang's question, not only Song Zhu, but even Zhang Pengxi and Ma Qi were slightly stunned, their attention was on the Green Camp and the Eight Banners of the same salary, but they didn't notice that Zhenwu had passed the level of the salary, and had divided the Eight Banners Green Camp and the Navy Praetorian Guard New Army into two obvious parts.

After a little pondering, several people understood that through this increase, Zhenwu had made a major adjustment to the military system of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Green Battalion was used to consolidate the domination of the country, and the Navy and the Praetorian New Army were responsible for external development and defense, so it seems that the reduction of twenty percent of the strength of the Eight Banners Green Battalion is just a beginning, when the Navy and the Janissary New Army are strong enough, the Eight Banners Green Battalion may even be eventually banned, after all, with the financial resources of the imperial court, it is impossible to support such a large amount of troops for a long time.

A few people just figured out the idea, and Yinxiang continued: "This time, not only the green camp will increase the salary, the eight banners will increase the welfare, but the court officials' salaries will also increase, this matter is in charge of the starling, you have to be busy during this time." ”

It is also necessary to increase the income of court officials! Zhang Pengxi couldn't help but feel a heartache, how much money does this cost, the green camp will have to pay tens of millions of taels a year, the welfare of the Eight Banners does not need to be considered, it is definitely not a small amount, how can the compensation for the dismissal of soldiers be millions, this is not enough, and at the same time, it is necessary to increase the income of officials? It's better not to add less, and if you add more, how can the court afford it?

In the past few years, the treasury has finally been a little more generous, and tens of millions of silver have been accumulated. In case there is another famine or something, Zhenwu will use internal funds to help?

Hearing this, Song Zhu immediately closed his mouth, and secretly slandered himself in his heart. Why didn't you say this earlier? Isn't this purely a pit person, how many officials in Manjing are looking forward to the increase, and Zhenwu is clearly tying up the salary and the increase, which has to open his mouth to oppose it, and it will be the target of the public immediately. You can't be so reckless.

Ma Qi and the others were also secretly frightened, they didn't expect Zhenwu to be such a big deal, and this matter was so widely involved at once, they didn't dare to speak easily.

Seeing that a few people were no longer silent, Yinxiang was unwilling to delay more. Immediately, he got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, after tomorrow morning, let's discuss it in detail." As he spoke, he said, "Farewell." ”

"Congratulations to the Thirteenth Master." Several people hurriedly stood up and saluted.

After Yinxiang went out, several people got up and returned to their respective seats, and as soon as Song Zhu sat down, he stared at Ma Qi and said: "Xiushui, this matter can't be left to the emperor." Most of the navy are Han Chinese, and there are many Han people in the New Guard Army, and I am afraid that there will be more and more in the future. It will inevitably decline, and in the future, will we only rely on the navy and the new army of the Janissaries to protect our country? ”

Hearing this, Wang Luo couldn't help but glance at Zhang Pengxi, in the study, the two of them were Han members, and Ma Qi was on the three banners. The yellow flag is inlaid, Songzhu is Manchuria inlaid with a white flag, and Xiao Yongzao is the Han army inlaid with a white flag. Fu Ning'an is inlaid with a blue flag, and Song Zhu openly mentioned the Manchu and Han defenses, he was quite dissatisfied, but it was not easy to attack.

Zhang Pengxi didn't seem to hear it, he looked down at the excerpt and wrote an abridgement, with a light and breezy expression.

Listen to this. Ma Qi couldn't help frowning, and now he and Zhang Pengxi were two scholars, one Han and two Baohe Palace scholars. He seems to be the head of the Manchurians, and when Song Zhu said this in public, it was obvious that he was forcing him to express his position, but how could he say this casually? Whether it is the navy or the new army of the Praetorian Guard, they were built by Zhenwu himself, and these two armies cannot protect the country of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it a big joke in the world?

But he can't say this, although he is from the Shangsanqi, but since he is the head of the Manchu ministers, the interests of the Manchus, he will defend it, this is a matter of position, however, if he wants to clearly express his opposition, he will not dare, what kind of jokes, offend Zhenwu, offend civil and military officials, how can he go into battle shirtless?

was groaning, Xiao Yongzao, who was inlaid with a white flag by the Han army, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this is to go to the turnips, I don't think there is anything wrong, the Eight Banners Green Battalion should indeed be rectified now, the Beijing Division is still like this, the place can be imagined, the emperor is ambitious, he wants to swallow the world, the Eight Banners Green Battalion is really incompetent, the Qing Royal Navy and the Praetorian New Army can open up the territory, how can they not be able to protect my Qing Dynasty?" ”

Listening to him bite the royal and the guard, Ma Qi couldn't help but secretly applaud, the Han Army Flag has always been not valued in the Eight Banners, Xiao Yongzao is considered to be angry for the Han Army Banner this time, Zhang Pengxi and Wang Luo are also secretly laughing, happy to watch on the wall.

Song Zhu didn't expect to suddenly kill Xiao Yongzao, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, when did these two get together? However, now is not the time to argue, so he simply ignored it and stared at Ma Qi to see how Ma Qi made a statement.

Ma Qiluo pondered, and said: "The Eight Banners are the foundation of the country, and the New Guard Army is mainly based on the children of the Eight Banners, and it is not divided into three flags and five flags. ”

Listening to this, Song Zhu couldn't help but suffocate, Ma Qi pointed out the impostor, it was to remind him, rashly admonished, purely to break his ass to attract the wind, and he was not happy, if the old things of Zhenwu were brought up again, the princes and nobles of all banners would be unlucky, and they might not be annoying, and it would not help, he couldn't help but be discouraged.

The green camp grain and the Eight Banners are the same example, the news of the officials plus the salary, the eight banners plus the welfare soon spread in the capital, immediately aroused the heated discussion of the Beijing division officials and gentlemen, everyone is smiling, the Beijing division is expensive, not only the low-grade Beijing officials are hard, the general officials are even more miserable, the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp are also living a tight life, no savings, often borrowing money to live, therefore, as soon as the news spreads, they are all happy.

A group of court members are some people are happy and some are worried, happy is naturally the Han people, since Zhenwu threw out the navy to pay tribute to the people of the Manchu and Han banners, they have paid close attention, and now Zhenwu once again threw out the food and salary of the green camp and the same example of the eight banners, which confirms the conjecture in their hearts, although Zhenwu did not publicly propose the integration of the Manchu and Han, but vigorously promoted the process of the integration of the Manchu and Han with practical actions.

The hearts of all the ministers of the Han Dynasty are hot, Zhenwu at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, there was this move, which is enough to show that he takes this matter very seriously, Zhenwu is now only twenty-six years old, not only consolidating the imperial power, but also controlling the subordinates in a good way, the means are sleek, everyone is looking forward to it, the unity of the Manchu and Han, to what extent can Zhenwu reach in the hands of Zhenwu?

Although Kangxi has taken a series of Huairou measures, there is still a huge difference between the Manchus and Hans, first of all, the official vacancies are divided into Manchu and Han, important positions, and the Han people have no chance to get involved, and officials at the same level and the same position, respect the full, and even more so the Manchu and Han different laws, the Manchus and Hans do not intermarry, I don't know how many can be broken in the hands of Zhenwu?

A group of ministers are worried, originally Zhenwu threw out the navy to pay for the people of the Han Dynasty, they were dissatisfied, but the navy was created by Zhenwu, and made great contributions to the imperial court, they did not dare to blame, they were all holding a wait-and-see mentality, waiting for the opportunity, but Zhenwu suddenly threw out a series of measures such as salary, salary, and welfare, which stirred up the situation like a mess, not only collected the hearts of the people, but also made no one dare to speak easily.

Now who dares to stand up against it, without Zhenwu's strength, will drown in the saliva of a number of civil and military ministers, but if you don't object, let Zhenwu toss like this, one day, the Manchu privileges will be deprived of everything, if so, the country will not be a country. However, although the people were worried, they had no good solution.

A group of royal family relatives, princes and nobles are also very nervous, related to the vital interests of the matter, everyone is concerned, heard that the news is Yinxi a few people came out, a few of them have a good relationship with the 'Tang Bo Ju' set down the banquet, and people went to invite the eighth, ninth, and tenth to come to the banquet to inquire about the details.

After Yinxi extinguished his heart to compete for the prince, he had fewer and fewer contacts with a group of royal clansmen and princes, but after receiving the banquet of Bu Muba, the king of Doluo Shuncheng County, and Baotai, the prince of Yu, he agreed without the slightest hesitation, and Yinyu said incomprehensibly: "Starling, it is rare for our brothers to get together now, and they said that they would go to the Ninth Brother's Zhuangzi to have a good time, why bother with these idle things?" ”

"It's no idle business." Yin Yu smiled slightly: "It is said that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and officialdom is the real place where they can't help themselves, since they come to the door, we must go to stabilize people's hearts, which is not only good for them, but also for us, if people are panicked, the emperor will complain that we are not doing things well." ”

Yin Yu also smiled: "Tomorrow to participate in the morning dynasty, to Zhuangzi is also inconvenient, you have to get up early in the morning to hurry, tomorrow is not too late to go, today first go to the 'Boju' Le Yile." ”

The three of them were worried about being too ostentatious, and directly entered the backyard of the 'Tran Bo Ju' from the back door, and there were already people waiting, leading them into a very elegant and quiet single courtyard, as soon as they entered the door, Prince Yu Baotai, Xinjun Wang Dezhao, and Shuncheng County King Bu Muba greeted them, and after greeting each other, everyone entered the house and sat down.

After sitting down, Bao Tai said with a smile: "Starling, I heard that the Green Camp has increased salaries, and there is an example of Eight Banners, is this matter true?" ”

Yinxi nodded and said, "It is true, this is the emperor's decree." ”

As soon as he heard this, Bu Muba took over and said: "Eighth uncle, how can the green camp enjoy the same food and salary as the Eight Banners, this Qing Dynasty is still not our bannerman?" ”

"Little Wuzi, what you are asking is not thoughtful." Yin Yu took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The Eight Banners and the Green Camp are all the masters of the Qing Dynasty, do you know how much the Green Camp pays?" The monthly salary of the infantry army is one tael, the monthly salary of the horse soldier is one or two and five cents, and the salary and rice are all three buckets. Can this idea of food and salary support the wife and children? With no livelihood, what can't be done?

Isn't it just to add a salary to the green camp, and it is necessary to make such a fuss? Besides, the Eight Banners are not unadded, and the court officials' salaries must be added, so why can't the green camp be added? ”
