Chongwenmen, the infantry army commands the yamen.

Long Keduo, the governor of Jiumen, received a private letter from Haishan from Tianjin early in the morning, after reading the letter, after thinking about it for a while, he set fire and burned the letter, since he became the governor of Jiumen, the fourteenth master has not had any contact with him, I didn't expect that this time he would give him a heavy gift by developing Tianjin.

It seems that the Fourteenth Master really wants to use him Long Keduo, thinking of this, he slowly paced in the room with his hands behind his back, he didn't know whether he was the commander of the Nine Gates, whether the Fourteenth Master had exerted his strength in it, but just because the Fourteenth Master mentioned him when he was the most depressed, it was enough to make him grateful to Dade. At the same time, it also made him die, with such a long-term vision, and the prince who sees people and things so accurately does not follow, who else can he follow?

I just don't know where the Fourteenth Master will go in the end? If the fourteenth master can be established as the crown prince, it is a great favorite, but if the competition for the prince fails, this ending is difficult to say, with the strength and courage of the fourteenth master, how can he be willing to lie in the crowd? There will inevitably be a dragon and tiger fight, thinking of this, he is not only a little excited, the fourteenth master has his shadow, the chance of success is quite large, this is not trivial from the dragon's support, when the time comes, it is easy to go further.

Coming out of the palace, Yinzhen had already calmed down, Kangxi only said that he had experienced court affairs, God knows if he used this as an excuse to leave himself in the capital to weaken his control of the navy? Don't be happy too early, the way to retreat is still to stay, there are countless examples of losing all the games, and the palace battle is full of infinite variables, and there can be no carelessness.

Walking out of Xihua Gate, Bao Fuquan hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and smiled; "Master, it's almost noon, and the slave has booked a table at the 'Xifu Building', is it going back to the house, or is it going to eat at the 'Xifu Building'?"

Yinzhen looked up at the sky, groaned slightly, and said: "Since it is booked, it will fill the stomach in the 'Xifu Building'." After the master, I want to go to the Beijing News Museum to have a look, leave a few guards, change into civilian clothes, and you take the sedan chair honor guard back to the house first. ”

Yinzhen hastily ate a meal in the 'Xifu Building', and then walked to Nian'er Hutong.

The façade of the Beijing News Newspaper has already been rebuilt according to Yinzhen's instructions, and the access control is strict, and Yinzhen and his party are all dressed in civilian clothes. The new doorman didn't know him, so he had to sign up for his name. Wait at the door.

When the fifteenth elder brother Yinzhen heard the news that Yinzhen came to the door, he immediately brought a group of officials from the Beijing newspaper to greet him, and after inviting him to see the ceremony, Yinzhen smiled and said: "I didn't want to move the people, but I had no choice but to have a strict access control." It still alarmed you, Dai Mingshi stayed, everyone went back to get busy. ”

After everyone dispersed, Yin Yu said with a smile: "Brother Fourteen just came out of the palace?" Have you eaten a meal? ”

"I just ate at 'Xifu Building'." Yinzhen nodded and said, "I didn't see Zheng Shichang just now, he's not here?" ”

"It's not the day of the Beijing News, and he's not usually here." Yin Yu explained: "I will send someone to call him." ”

After entering the house and taking a seat. Yinzhen looked at Dai Mingshi with a smile and asked, "Is Mr. Dai still used to being here?" ”

Dai Mingshi got up and said, "There is Prince Lao to inquire, everything is fine." ”

"No need to be polite, sir." Yinzhen said with a smile: "Mr. is arrogant and arrogant, and the world does not tolerate it." The Beijing newspaper is idle, and there is no intrigue and intrigue, it is very suitable for Mr., Mr. is at ease to serve here, and this king will have a place to borrow in the future. ”

"The prince is serious." Dai Mingshi said again: "The prince is the benefactor of the Dai family, he is not talented, how dare he forget his roots, and he is willing to be driven by the prince." ”

"Yes." Yinzhen nodded. Said: "This morning, the emperor has ordered a trial implementation of the paving into acres in Guangdong Province. It is a move to benefit the country and the people, and it is also a new tax reform that the imperial court has focused on implementing in the past few years. This method is the fourth brother Yinzhen please implement, Mr. may wish to read it, and publicize it in the Beijing newspaper to help the fourth brother prestige.

In addition, the promotion of this law is a major national policy, the emperor attaches great importance to it, Mr. disciples are all over the south of the Yangtze River, this king hopes that Mr. can go to Guangdong to understand the implementation of this law on the spot, timely and truthfully in the Beijing newspaper to publish a report. ”

"Respect the king's orders." Dai Mingshi bowed down and said: "This matter is not difficult, Mingshi has friends and disciples in Guangdong, and he will be able to report it in a timely and truthful manner." ”

"That's good." Yinzhen nodded, then turned to Yinzhen and said: "Fifteenth brother, this kind of continuous tracking and reporting will often be used in the future, and the Beijing Daily must develop regular scholars who write articles for the Beijing Daily in all provinces, prefectures, and prefectures, and the navy and army should also develop, such as the naval battle of Spain, continuous and true reporting, which can not only attract the attention of the people, but also increase the cohesion and sense of honor of the people." ..., for these people who regularly write articles for Beijing Daily, they can pay according to the article, once adopted, and pay a high salary, so as to stimulate their interest in writing, however, it must be remembered that it must be true, but those who find that there are lies will be disqualified for life.

In this way, the Beijing newspaper is no longer limited to a corner of the capital, and the outlets in various provinces are well laid, so that a report can be in hand, which is enough to understand the general trend of the world.

The Beijing Daily is not only the mouthpiece of public opinion of the imperial court, but also a window for the world's scholars and people to understand the country and the world.

The fifteenth brother should not underestimate this little Beijing newspaper, you must calm down and do a good job of the Beijing newspaper, you don't have to worry about the money, the fourteenth brother will start up, and in the future, he will also think of ways to gradually solve the financial problem of the Beijing newspaper, you can do the Beijing newspaper to the extent I said, that is a great achievement, understand? ”

Not only Yinyu, but even Dai Mingshi was stunned, if the Beijing News can really do it to this extent, all the readers in the world, I'm afraid that no one can do without the Beijing News, how big the circulation must be?

Yin Yu came back to his senses, his face was flushed with excitement, the fourteenth brother sent a big credit to himself, if this is not done well, it will be really faceless, he hurriedly got up and said: "Fourteenth brother rest assured, in one year, fifteen can make a big change in the Beijing newspaper." ”

Dai Mingshi secretly worried in his heart, the vision and mind of the fourteenth master, the princes are unmatched, Fang Bao followed him, but he was not wronged, the Beijing newspaper was founded by the fourteenth master, and he had to do his best, so that a group of friends and disciples could help more, otherwise how could he repay the favor?

After chatting a few more words, Zheng Shichang hurried over, Dai Mingshi felt inconvenient to be present and got up to say goodbye, Zheng Shichang asked An to get up, and said: "Congratulations to the fourteenth master on the great victory of the navy." ”

Yinzhen knew that he was concerned about his son, so he said with a smile: "Zheng Qingyuan has been transferred from the escort to the navy, and his performance in the Penghu naval battle is very good, I have asked for credit for him, but he has another task, Tianjin to sacrifice prisoners, you can't see him, don't worry." ”

Zheng Shichang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that his son had given up the identity of the fourteenth master's guard and transferred to the navy, but he calmed down in an instant. ”

"Zheng Qingyuan is a good seedling, and the pillar of your Zheng family in the future may be him." Yinzhen said with a smile: "I called you here today, it is for Tianjin, Tianjin is going to open a port, it is going to develop greatly, the semicolon of Tianjin of the 'Four Constants' must be ready, I want to withdraw a large amount of cash, in addition, it will also widen the post road from Beijing to Tianjin, which will cost a lot." ”

Tianjin is also going to open a port! Zheng Shichang couldn't help but sigh secretly, the fourteenth master is really idle, and he didn't say that the northern port can be as prosperous as Tianjin, and it is close to Beijing, this opening of the port is not worse than Shanghai, he hurriedly bowed down and asked: "Please ask the fourteenth master to show me, how much silver do you need?" ”

"I don't want much, it should be three million taels in the early stage." Yinzhen smiled and said: "However, with the rumors that the business of the Tianjin branch may skyrocket, you have to take precautions, and in addition, postpone the news for two days before it is announced." ”

"The fourteenth master can rest assured, his subordinates will immediately order someone to handle it." Zheng Shichang bowed and replied.

*

The back garden of Prince Yong's mansion, the south courtyard.

In the spring day, when the grass and trees are lush and the flowers are blooming, Wu Sidao staggered in the courtyard, admiring the spring color of the courtyard, and a delicate maid followed by him.

"Chun'er, have you ever felt bored in the capital? Let's go out of Beijing for a walk, okay? Wu Sidao said with a smile.

"It's Mr. who feels bored, the slave is a legless crab, and everywhere is stuffy in the yard." Chun'er replied.

"The same courtyard, but the scenery is different, the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the courtyard scenery is the best in the world, there is a chance to take you to Hangzhou, Suzhou to see." Wu Sidao said with great fascination.

"Hehe, Mr. is still thinking about it." Yin Zhen hurried up from behind, and said with a smile: "Let people clean up, let's go out of Beijing in a few days." ”

"I've seen the fourth master." Wu Sidao said and waved his hand to let Chun'er retreat, and when Chun'er was far away, he said slowly: "The fourth master came in a hurry, but there were extraneous branches? ”

"It's not about the big picture." Yin Zhen slowly walked with Wu Sidao and explained the situation of the early dynasty in detail.

"Your Majesty, this is to rectify the rule of officials by the way." Wu Sidao said lightly after hearing this.

Rectify the rule of officials? Yin Zhen immediately thought of the old fourteen's suggestion to Kangxi at that time, and made trouble for a long time, the root was from the old fourteen, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "The old fourteen is strongly in favor of it, and the rectification of the rule of officials is also suggested by him, will there be anything wrong?" ”

"It's nothing more than letting the fourth master count the enemies everywhere." Wu Sidao said disapprerovingly: "The fourth master is going to Guangdong, just implement the matter of apportioning the land into the mu, rectify the affairs of the officials, and let Zhao Shenqiao's 'official slaughter' do it, just a gentleman and a strong man, how can he help the fourth master?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded, this was similar to what he had thought along the way, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Mr. thinks, where to start when the land is spread into the acre?" What kind of people are we going to bring from the capital? ”

Wu Sidao blurted out: "The root is the land, first of all, we must clear the land." ”

"Isn't it time-consuming and labor-intensive?" Yin Zhen couldn't help but be surprised, this amount of work is too big.

"It's not as difficult as the fourth master thinks." Wu Sidao shook his head slightly and said: "When the former Ming Dynasty implemented a whip law, he had cleared the land of the whole country, and he had a foundation, and the fourth master only needed to take two or three counties to check it, if the difference was not big, there was no need to work hard to move the people, but if the difference was huge, it could only be re-counted." ”
