However, even if it is a private visit to the micro-service in the capital, it is impossible to raise your feet and leave, this group of people is a fuel-efficient lamp, the matter of the white dragon fish suit, or be cautious, Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, but still did not express his position, he found that the old fourteen acts, often the sword goes sideways, unexpected, can not be measured by common sense, he has to think carefully.

The old fourteenth now has no title as a prince, it stands to reason that he should take the opportunity of rectifying the flag affairs and planning the livelihood of the Eight Banners to invite people to buy people's hearts, especially to win over the princes and ministers under the banners of the banners.

Even if the old fourteen is afraid of touching the imperial power and wants to dispel his own vigilance, at most, he will not invite people's hearts, so why not use the clan to open the knife and put himself in a trap? Could it be that the old fourteen simply doesn't care about his own gains and losses, and is dedicated to the country? Otherwise, with the shrewdness of the old fourteen, how could he do something that would destroy his foundation?

Thinking of the rapidly expanding clan, Kangxi is also quite self-blaming, the reason why the former Ming lost the country, a big reason is that the excessive expansion of the clan, squeezing out nearly thirty percent of the country's wealth, knowing this, but he still ignores this problem, the lessons of the past are not far away, how can he let the Qing Dynasty repeat the mistakes of the past? To control the infinite expansion of the clan and limit the strength of the clan, it is urgent to formulate a charter in his hands.

Thinking of this, he became vigilant again, shouldn't the old fourteen be throwing bricks and stones, and finally, let himself offend the entire clan, right? After thinking about it for a while, he was relieved for a while, the old fourteen's style of acting was not ruthless, and besides, he would not consider the possibility of setting himself on fire, so it was impossible to make such a decision.

However, the method proposed by the old fourteen does have merit, the old fourteen is only twenty-five years old now, no accident, the overseas feudal country will be taken back in his hands, and it is impossible to leave it to future generations.

After pondering for a long time, Kangxi spoke: "You said to strengthen the imperial power and further weaken the control and dependence of the Eight Banners Banner Owners and the princes and clansmen over the banner people under their banners. But already have an idea? ”

Seeing that Kangxi thought about it for a long time, he actually changed the topic and asked about it, Yinzhen couldn't help but secretly slander the idea of rectifying the flag affairs, where did he dare to put it forward at this time and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor Ama, this matter, Erchen has no specific ideas at present, there are only two proposals, one is the name, the Manchu language of the Eight Banners is called 'Gushan Ezhen,, and Erchen suggested changing it to 'Gushan Angbang,." ”

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen with great appreciation, this proposal is good! If the name is not right, the word is not good, and the strengthening of imperial power naturally starts with the correct name. 'Ezhen, the Manchu means 'lord,' and 'Aung Bang, the Manchu word means 'minister,' Gushan Ang Bang, i.e., 'the minister of the banner,'.

Although it is only a change of words, the significance is very significant, which is equivalent to clarifying the status of the monarch and the minister, and only the emperor can be called 'the lord, even if it is the lord of a banner, the relationship with the emperor is also the relationship between the courtier and the king.

In this way, the title of flag owner will disappear completely, and all the flag people will have only one master in the future, that is, the emperor

Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled and said, "Change well, go on." ”

Yinzhen smiled secretly, the move to strengthen the imperial power, you expressed your position quickly, and after a little silence, he said: "Another proposal is to propose the establishment of the Eight Banners Public Office. It has been more than 70 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, but the affairs of the flags are still handled in the government, which is neither systematic nor standardized, and the various archives and documents of the flags are not properly managed, which is quite chaotic. ”…,

As soon as Kangxi heard this, he realized that the old fourteen wanted to make a big move! The establishment of the Eight Banners Office Yamen, is tantamount to the Eight Banners flag affairs into the scope of the imperial court, and it is also convenient to place people in the office, and the details of each flag can also be known, this is indeed a good proposal, however, it may also arouse the strong opposition of the banners, this is not to worry, this matter is well-reasoned, also known as justifiable, can be implemented openly, but this matter, I am afraid that it has to be blocked by the old fourteen.

After a slight sigh, he said: "This matter, after the beginning of the year, I will announce the implementation again." ”

As soon as he heard that Kangxi took the initiative to take this matter over, Yinzhen's heart was hot, and he hurriedly thanked him: "The son of the emperor Xie Huang Ama is compassionate." ”

Kangxi bowed slightly, looking at the posture of the old fourteenth, he was determined to vigorously rectify the clan and flag affairs, and he didn't know what the old fourteen thought? He wanted to see the methods of the old fourteen, but with the current identity and status of the old fourteen, such a rectification was a bit thankless, and after hesitating, he said: "Zongxue, let's build it first, temporarily set up a Zongxue on the left and right wings of the Eight Banners, recruit the children of the clan to study, first learn Manchu and Chinese, and practice riding and archery."

There is no need to rush to rectify the flag affairs and plan the livelihood of the Eight Banners, and now the expedition to Europe and America is an urgent task. ”

Kangxi delayed the rectification of the flag affairs in the future, but it was Zhong Yinzhen's arms, but he didn't want to delay the rectification of the capital's public security, this matter had to be grasped by him, and the starling brothers couldn't do it, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Erchen respects the order." After getting up, he continued: "The security of the capital is not only about the face of the royal family, but also about the local atmosphere, but also about whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen in surprise, why did the old fourteen hold on to this? After a little hesitation, he asked: "The law and order are not quiet, but it has affected the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes?" ”

"The candle of the Emperor Ama Cave is bright, and the candle of the Holy Light shines." Yinzhen first admitted a sentence, and then continued: "As far as Erchen knows, there are many scoundrels in the important land of Beijing, gathering crowds to gather, openly exploiting, and secretly blackmailing, so that the shops in Beijing are miserable, although Huang Ama is like the benevolence of heaven, but it is difficult to benefit the people, Jingshi is still like this, and the place can also be imagined, Erchen implores Huang Ama for permission to carry out strict rectification in Beijing. ”

Kangxi's face has sunk, although Yinzhen did not say it explicitly, but there must have been the children of the clan involved in it before, this gathering of people, can not wait to ignore it, not to mention the gathering of the children of the clan, if you are not careful, you will be used by someone with a heart, glanced at Yinzhen, he said lightly: "Kneel down first." ”

Exiting the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, what does Kangxi mean? Do you want to protect the clan, or do you not believe in it? Originally, I wanted to report on the candidates for the expedition, but it seems that it can only be delayed until tomorrow and agreed with the minister of the upper study.

The promotion performance of the honeycomb coal stove and the heavy reward were set up in the early morning in the bustling streets inside and outside the capital, and the major teahouses in the capital were also particularly lively in the morning, as long as there was no yellow belt present, people were all talking about yesterday's brawl between the yellow belt slave and the Yamen soldiers, the commander of the infantry army.

Of course, the section where the fourteenth master appeared is the most talked about, 'The little master was humiliated for no reason, the fourteenth master was rescued by a flying horse, I don't know how many versions have been deduced, Luo Tianyun, the master craftsman of the gunpowder workshop of the Ministry of Industry, can be said to be famous overnight, and the original sentence and won the five hundred taels of rewards has already made people jealous and envious, and in the blink of an eye, he was robbed of meat by the yellow belt dog, beaten for no reason, and the reward was also snatched away. actually flew in person, not only rescued Luo Tianyun, but also punished the yellow belt. …,

Such a twist and turn, and a happy ending, is naturally extraordinarily attractive, people never get tired of listening, and the discussion is also particularly energetic, the fourteenth master Lixian corporal, the reputation of attaching importance to talents has also spread with the discussion, and then the news that the fourteenth master gave a thousand sets of honeycomb coal stoves to poor people for free to spend the cold winter, and the reputation of the fourteenth master who loves the people has also spread.

The promotion point of each honeycomb coal furnace, early in the morning surrounded by people is impassable, changed stubble after stubble, many people are enthusiastic to try to make honeycomb coal with molds, compare the amount of coal, the size of the firepower, the duration of the time, etc., naturally, there are many people are trying to find a little inspiration, can get a heavy reward.

In the afternoon, in the outer city, at a honeycomb coal stove promotion point at the entrance of a small market, Kangxi was dressed as a gentleman, curiously looking at the honeycomb coal stove and the strange-looking honeycomb coal, pondering the two questions of Yinzhen's heavy reward, even if he studied Chinese and Western and thought for a long time, he couldn't understand the middle edge

He couldn't help muttering to himself, tomorrow I have to ask the old fourteen, this old fourteen, can actually come up with this method to recruit miscellaneous talents, it can be regarded as unique, I don't know what the effect is. Later, he took a curious look at the molds for making honeycomb coal, and witnessed them make a few of them.

Although Kangxi does not burn coal stoves, he does not understand, the coal stove that burns briquettes and burns honeycomb coal, there is no comparison at all, he can even foresee that this kind of honeycomb coal stove will soon be popularized, not to mention the countryside, at least in various prefectures and cities will be very popular, will greatly promote the use of coal.

I don't know how much money Lao Fourteen can make from this honeycomb coal stove and mold, if it can be promoted throughout the country, I am afraid it will also be a lot of income, I really don't know where he learned it, is it also from the Westerners?

Kangxi left the street with a full stomach full of questions, and when the Minister of the Guard, Yide, saw this situation, hurriedly stepped up and said softly: "Master, if you want to enter any store, I hope to tell you in advance, and the little ones can also prepare in advance." ”

This time out of the palace, Kangxi didn't want to alarm people, so he only brought sixteen guards, but Yide didn't dare to be careless, and secretly asked the first-class guard Guan Bao to mobilize a group of guards to respond secretly.

How could Kangxi not know about these small actions, but he didn't stop them, and when he heard Yide's words, he waved his hand and said, "Just follow a few of the Bao and Laxi." ”
