Chapter 516 Small Discussion

"Look at the tenth brother who is anxious-1-" Yinzhen chuckled and threw off the horse, handed the reins to the butler who greeted him, and then said with a smile: "What is the identity of those Russians, don't you promote them if you care about them?" ”

"The fourteenth brother has a point." Yinyu smiled and said: "Just a small official can send them away, why do you need to do your own thing." As he spoke, several people bowed in unison.

Yinzhen is also used to it now, nodded with a smile, and said: "I deliberately picked the Ninth Brother's Zhuangzi, I just hope to order casually, and everyone doesn't need to be polite." As he spoke, he said to Yinqi: "Brother Tenth is bored during this time, I just found you an errand, you and Brother Thirteen will do it together." ”

Hearing this, Yin Qi asked impatiently, "What errand?" ”

"Temporary." Yinzhen smiled slightly: "Huang Ama wants to build a new camp for the new Praetorian Army in Shunyi, you and the thirteenth brother will take the lead in surveying the address, and the land acquisition and other matters are all up to the two of you, and I will pay for the money." However, you have to move quickly, and you will soon have to rectify the flag service. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yin Xiang couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, but Yin Xiang said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Shunyi with my tenth brother to have a look." ”

Seeing Yinxiang's expression, Yinxiang was willing to lag behind, and hurriedly said: "Fourteenth brother, don't worry, this matter is on us." ”

Seeing that it was empty, Yinyu smiled and said: "Since the fourteenth brother chose me to pick up the wind for the thirteenth brother, there must be something to discuss, let's go into the house and talk about it." As he spoke, he turned sideways and gave way, asking Yinzhen to go first.

Yinzhen is not polite, walking forward, while walking and looking at the new Zhuangzi of the old nine, the outside is not very conspicuous, more than 50 steps inside, turn a corner, you will feel a bright eye, but see a pavilion in the green shade half-shaded half-exposed, small bridges and flowing water, lotus pond Taihu Lake stone everything, there is quite a bit of Jiangnan charm, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Jiu is so big, how can you have time to live here for a long time?" ”

"Let the fourteenth brother smile." Yin Yu smiled and said: "I love the scenery of Jiangnan, but I don't have the opportunity to live in Jiangnan for a long time, this is just self-comfort." ”

Yinzhen nodded slightly: "There is a chance for you to go to Jiangnan to stay for a while, half of the taxes of the imperial court come from Jiangnan, and the wealth of Jiangnan is also known to the world, you should really go and have a good experience." ”

Hearing this, Yinxi couldn't help but be overjoyed, what did Lao Fourteen mean by this, and he was going to let Lao Jiu take care of taxes in the future? This is really a person who makes the best use of his talents, and he has changed himself, do you have the courage to hand over the wealth to his brother to take care of?

Yin Yu naturally knew what Lao Fourteen meant, and immediately smiled slightly: "I have the opportunity to stay in Jiangnan for a year and a half, and my wish is enough, but at the moment, I don't dare to think about it." ”

"Hehe, why should Brother Jiu be in a hurry, it's only a few years in the northwest." Yinzhen chuckled, then changed the topic, and said: "Brother Thirteen returned to Beijing from Tianjin, have you ever paid attention to the progress of the construction of the post road all the way?" ”

"I'm about to report this to my fourteenth brother." Yinxiang groaned: "After the evacuation of the Spanish prisoners, the construction site was in short supply, and before I returned to Beijing, Shi Shilun also asked me to bring a message, saying that the spring and summer farmers were busy, and it was not appropriate to levy conscription. ”

"Shi Shilun, this is asking for money in disguise." Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "Tianjin plays a pivotal role in my plan, and it must be vigorously developed. ”

A few people said that they had already entered the hall of the main courtyard, and they were courteous to each other before they sat down, and after the eighth elder brother Yinxi sat down, he said tentatively: "The plan that the fourteenth brother just said, but to rectify the flag affairs?" ”

"It's not." Yinzhen shook his head slightly, and said: "It's the innovation of the Eight Banners system, and the brothers are here today, and this matter still needs your strong support." ”

Eight Flags System Innovation? A few people gasped when they heard it, the old fourteen has eaten the gall of a leopard, the Eight Banners system is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and this dares to innovate? Not to mention that he is just a crown prince, even if Yuji ascends the throne, if he is not good, he will be pulled down by a group of princes and ministers, and several people can't help but look at Yinzhen. …,

After a while, Yin Yu cautiously tentatively said: "Did you reveal this matter in front of Huang Ama?" ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Huang Ama is supportive." ”

Hearing Kangxi's support, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Yinyu hesitated and said: "Fourteenth brother, it's not that I'm too careful, will there be fraud?" ”

As soon as Lao Jiu's words came out, everyone's faces were a little solemn, Kangxi is now recovering well, and he must be regaining the power of the government, and it may not be impossible to use the eight-banner system to reform the black Lao Fourteen, and it may not necessarily put the old Fourteen to death, but it is still very possible to take the opportunity to suppress the prestige of the Old Fourteen and weaken the power of the Old Fourteen, so as not to divide the power of the Old Fourteen.

Listening to Lao Jiu so outspoken, Yinzhen was very pleased, it seems that letting Lao Jiu be in charge of commerce and trade has completely won his support, otherwise he would not have said it so explicitly, groaning slightly, he said: "It shouldn't be, one is the corruption and degeneration of the children of the Eight Banners, the second is the livelihood of the bannermen, and the third is the overwhelmed financial and tax problems of the imperial court. As he spoke, he looked at Yinxiang and said, "Brother Thirteen has a lot of friends with the three sects and nine streams on weekdays, can you understand the specific situation of the low-level banner people?" ”

Yinxiang saw that the point was on his head, and he groaned slightly, and then said: "I don't know the situation of the low-level banner people very well, I know some of the situation, the world has been peaceful these years, there is no war to fight, the number of soldiers in the forbidden brigade in Beijing tends to be fixed, and they can't engage in other industries, all of them rely on that idea of military pay to live, and their livelihood is indeed more difficult." ”

Yin Qi was puzzled and said: "Thirteenth brother, as I know, a vest is paid 36 taels of silver a year, 23 stones of rice, and a step armor, a year's salary of silver is 18 taels, and 11 stones of rice, which is more than enough to support the family, how can it be said that it is difficult to make a living?" In my opinion, the main problem is still in the word 'poor luxury', the more luxurious the poorer, the poorer the more luxurious. ”

Yinyu also followed: "The banner people not only have salary, but also land, when they first entered Beijing, they circled so much land near Gyeonggi, implemented the calculation of oral fields, and the lowest vest also divided thirty acres of land by one person, not that they eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, poor and extravagant, how can they be so defeated in just a few decades?" ”

"Ji dictated Tian and stopped teaching Tian a long time ago." Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, indiscriminately squandering is also a thing, the pursuit of luxury, the atmosphere of being content with laziness is also widely believed, these are beyond doubt, however, the most fundamental reason, I think it is still caused by poor management and the continuous breeding and reproduction of people, to be honest, I don't agree with always accusing the flag people of extravagance and squandering, how much silver is thirty acres of land worth?" At most, it's only three hundred taels, enough to squander for decades? A vest's annual salary is less than 40 taels, and the rice is only 23 stones, raising a family of seven or eight, and buying weapons and horses, how to squander it? ”
