Chapter 707: There is a difference between Manchu and Han

Seeing that the old thirteen even Kangxi moved out, it shows that he was very jealous of the abolition of the discipline of shaving his hair and making it easy to wear, Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at him, and felt quite depressed, the old thirteen is still like this, not to mention other royal clansmen, princes and nobles? I'm afraid this matter is quite tricky, and it will take a lot of effort to say it.

He didn't have the idea of becoming a big fat man in one bite, and he didn't want to pile things together, so he nodded slightly at the moment and said, "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, I'm not in a hurry, and I'll announce the world when the new Praetorian Guard army changes its clothes." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the old fifteenth, turned his head, and said: "What the starling brother just said, the royal family of the Jingshi, the princes and nobles, and the big and small officials have a lot of discussions about the new policy, and the fifteenth brother must also be here for this, right?" ”

Yin Yu was secretly surprised by Zhenwu's whimsical thoughts, wondering why Zhenwu would take the abolition of shaving and changing clothes as a breakthrough in the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, Zhenwu who listened to him suddenly asked him, only then did he remember the purpose of entering the palace to meet him, and groaned slightly, he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, until the courtiers entered the palace, most of the articles received by officials of the capital division expounding the new policies are not useful, only a few articles from the Hanlin Academy and the Inspectorate can be slightly eyed, and the courtiers are quite worried. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, this situation did not surprise him, after all, the new deal infringed on the interests of officials, if they sincerely applauded the new deal, then there would really be a big problem, groaning slightly, he looked at Yinxi and Yinxiang, and asked: "The reaction of the royal family and the princes and nobles is very intense?" ”

Yin Yu hurriedly bowed down and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, it is very intense and can't be talked about, the main thing is worry and dissatisfaction, the minister listened a little, one is that the princes and nobles who have divided overseas have invested money in overseas feudal countries, and they are short of money, and second, they have not been divided into feudal hearts, and the official gentry are on an errand when they pay for food, the amount of silver they hand over every year is not small. There is dissatisfaction. Furthermore, most of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners should be treated differently from the Han Chinese. ”

Yinxiang smiled and said: "The ministers were busy with the expansion of the new army of the Praetorian Guard, and they were not entangled. ”

Nodding slightly, Zhen Wucai said, "What do you think of the new deal?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Yin Yu bowed slightly and said: "The apportionment into the mu and the integration of the officials and gentry to pay grain are beneficial to the court and the people, but they are not good for the officials and gentry in the middle." The ministers thought that in order to make the new policy be thoroughly implemented, they could not generalize about the officials and gentry, and they had to divide and win over, after all, it was the officials and gentry who carried out the imperial decrees, and if they did not, no matter how good the decrees were, they would be distorted when they were transmitted to the localities. Even if the Beijing News and the Ning Daily are widely publicized, there is no guarantee that it will not be distorted. ”

"What the starlings said is very true." Yinxiang also followed: "The people are illiterate, and their knowledge and understanding of the new deal completely depend on the interpretation and propaganda of the officials and gentry. After a slight pause, he looked up at Zhenwu before he continued: "Your Majesty, it is not only the officials and gentry who have been offended by the new policy, but also the businessmen, all the rich businessmen and tycoons are also big landlords. Arguably. The New Deal infringed on the interests of all wealthy people in the Qing Dynasty. If it is not divided and co-opted, the minister is quite worried. ”

Zhenwu is aware of the differences between the two people. refers to the difference between the Manchu and Han people, the Manchu and the noble, the prince of the Eight Banners, he naturally wants to win over, but he doesn't want to make concessions at the expense, he groaned slightly, he looked at Yinyu and said: "What is the attitude of the Ming History Museum towards writing articles for the Beijing Daily?" ”

Yin Yu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the Ming History Museum sent people to the Beijing Newspaper Museum yesterday to discuss, preparing to elaborate on the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty from various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and diplomacy. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly: "The purpose of compiling the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is to use it in the world, so it is very good, and the Beijing News in the past two days has mainly focused on the death of the Ming Dynasty and the relationship between the imperial court and the gentry. ”

"Brother obeys." Yin Yu hurriedly bowed and said.

"I'll talk about the propaganda of the New Deal tomorrow morning." Zhenwu said lightly.

Hearing this, Yinxi realized that Zhenwu was going to kneel down next, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, at present, the imperial court is expanding the army and increasing salaries, and the expenses are huge, but the emperor is still supporting it without using national funds, and the ministers think that with the conquest of Africa, with the development of Nanyang and Australia, the imperial court should become richer and richer." With the development and immigration of Nanyang Australia, and the continuous expansion of the feudal states in the Americas, the Qing Dynasty did not worry about the excessive annexation of land and the surge of landless and displaced people. ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly, needless to say, the eighth must have been saddened by a group of princes and nobles, this question was indeed asked to the point, a little muttering, he said: "Now the Qing Dynasty is not short of money, but the court is short of money, and everything cannot be paid by my internal funds, everything must be customized, and the salary, military salaries, relief, construction, education, etc. must be paid by the imperial court."

Now that I have spread the stall a little bigger, the income of the imperial court cannot be supported at all, so I have to temporarily support it from the inside, this situation cannot be maintained for a long time, I must vigorously increase the income of the imperial court, and the implementation of the new policy is only one aspice. Besides, it is not the blessing of the country that the people are rich and the country is weak, and the Ming Dynasty is not far away, how can the Qing Dynasty not take it as a warning? ”

The people are rich and the country is weak? Yin Xi listened to the suffocation, whether it is the internal money, the treasury, it has never been so rich as now, in the eyes of the old fourteen, what is the wealth of the country and the strength of the people? Furthermore, is it necessary for the court and the internal treasury to be so clearly separated? Isn't that too long-term?

After saying this for a long time, Zhenwu didn't want to bother any more, paused slightly, and said: "Kneel down, tomorrow morning, the royal family, the princes and nobles, and the officials above the fourth grade in Beijing will all participate." ”

"The ministers obey." Yinxi and a few people hurriedly bowed and said.

Early the next morning, after the beginning of the new year, all the royal clansmen, princes and nobles, as well as civil and military officials above the fourth rank all rushed to Changchun Garden early, and everyone knew in their hearts that today's early dynasty was for the new deal, the officials and gentry were on an errand and paid for food, and the abolition of envy and consumption and other measures were directly related to their vital interests, and no one cared.

A group of civil and military officials who came early gathered outside to whisper, whispering, speculating about the possible situation of the early dynasty today, the new deal infringed not only on the interests of the Han people but also on the interests of the full staff, it can be said that as soon as the new deal came out, Zhenwu was the enemy of all the officials.

Despite this, a group of officials are not optimistic about the situation of the early dynasty, Zhenwu Suxi is arbitrary, if it is strong, he is even a few points stronger than Kangxi, no one knows what the situation of today's early dynasty will be? It's also possible that Jungmu won't give them a chance to build momentum at all.

Just when the officials exchanged their heads and whispered, the gate of Changchun Garden slowly opened, and two teams of brightly armored guards rushed out, followed by several eunuchs, and after standing at the gate, the chief eunuch shouted: "The emperor has an order, and all the ministers will enter the palace." ”

Listening to this will, all the ministers of the Manchurians were secretly happy in their hearts, Zhenwu was summoned separately, it must be the difference between the Manchus and the Hans, one by one hurriedly lined up, and the ministers of the Han Dynasty were as pale as the earth, needless to say, Zhenwu was going to win over the full staff, without the support of the full staff, only the Han ministers could persuade and prevent Zhenwu from implementing the new policy? Even if you want to retreat, you can't do it.

Yinxi, Yinxiang and other royal family relatives, princes and nobles and a number of civil and military ministers are not in one place, but in the small east gate, after listening to the eunuch decree, both of them are slightly happy in their hearts, the old fourteen did not insist on going their own way, and finally opened up to the Manchurians, many princes and nobles also faintly guessed that things might take a turn for the better, and they were all secretly happy.

Hearing that a full crowd was already waiting outside, Zhenwu came out of the front hall and slowly ascended to the throne placed on the steps at the door.

As soon as the royal clansmen, princes and nobles, and all the full-fledged civil and military ministers saw Zhenwu sitting down, they knelt down neatly and said: "Slaves and others respectfully invite the emperor to be saintly, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhenwu glanced at the ministers, and after the people were saluted, he said lightly: "Flat." ”

After everyone got up, Zhenwu said straight to the point: "This morning, the court convened the ministers in advance, for the sake of the new policy, I heard that the ministers have a lot of complaints about the new policy, but is there such a thing?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of all the royal family relatives and princes and nobles sank, the tone of this voice was wrong, could it be that Zhenwu was like Kangxi, forcing them to accept the new policy? The little joy that came up in their hearts disappeared when they landed, and no one said a word at the moment.

There was silence in the huge square, dull and depressing, Xiao Yongzao, the minister of the upper study, and Song Zhu couldn't help but secretly complain, it is not a matter to go on like this, Zhenwu's words must be returned, and if he doesn't speak, then only the damn one who goes to the study, he must be hard-headed.

With a slight groan, Xiao Yongzao took the lead and said: "Back to the emperor, the new policy is beneficial to the country and the people, how dare the minions be dissatisfied." ”

As soon as he saw Xiao Yongzao open his mouth, Yinxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and followed and said: "Back to the emperor, the death of the former Ming Dynasty is because the treasury is empty, the people are rich and the country is weak. Spreading the land into the mu, and the official gentry paying grain on errands is a good way to stabilize the income of the court and consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty, how can the servants be dissatisfied? ”

Bu Mu Bali, the king of Shuncheng County, immediately stood up and said: "The slave seconded the proposal, our Qing Dynasty is to control more with less, and the people are rich and the country is weak, isn't it always like walking on thin ice?" ”

Seeing this, Manduhu and Arsuna also followed suit.

However, that's just it, after a few people finished speaking, no one came out to echo it, it was about their own money bags, no one had a hot head, and all the royal family relatives, princes and nobles, and ministers of civil and military affairs were all waiting to see the changes, and the square fell into silence again.
