Chapter 382: Kangxi's worries

Overseas trade, the flow into the Qing Dynasty is silver, very little gold, and the imperial court itself implements a mining ban, not only the official does not mine, but also prohibits private mining, which leads to a shortage of gold in the Qing Dynasty, not only the people, but also the royal family, therefore, Yinzhen does not mention any silver mines and copper mines at all, and directly says gold mines. update

As soon as they heard about the big gold mine, their eyes naturally lit up, and the old ten Yinxi said hurriedly: "Fourteenth brother, then we will immediately arrange for someone to go to Nanyang to Australia to organize the mining of gold mines." ”

"Brother Ten, exploration and smelting of gold ore is a technical job, and there must be professional talents, and ordinary people can only sell coolies." Yinzhen smiled slightly.

Yin Xi considered the long-term situation, and after a little silence, he said tentatively: "What does the fourteenth brother mean is to train a large number of talents for exploration and smelting of gold, silver, copper and iron ore?" ”

"Starlings have a long-term vision and are thoughtful." Yinzhen flattered first, and then said: "The main purpose of seizing overseas territories is to plunder the local wealth and resources, labor is not worried, and slaves can be used, but technicians must be the people of the Qing Dynasty, especially the exploration personnel, in a few years, the overseas fiefdoms of the Qing Dynasty will flourish, and a large number of exploration personnel will be needed at that time, and now we must take precautions." ”

After making trouble for a long time, it turned out to be involving government affairs, and the old Shiyin lost interest when he heard it, and said weakly: "Fourteenth brother, when will I see gold?" ”

"If you don't understand, don't interject." Lao Jiu Yinyu glanced at him dissatisfied, then turned to look at Yinzhen, and said eagerly: "What does the fourteenth brother mean, is it field training, in Australia?" Or in the South Seas? ”

As soon as he heard that it was on-the-spot training, Yinzhen's eyes immediately lit up again, and he diligently poured a glass of wine for Yinzhen, looking at him with blank eyes, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "There are still many indigenous people in Australia, it will take a while to clean up, first in Borneo, I heard that there are gold mines in the Shankou Ocean, and it is better for the local soil king to be obedient, and if he is disobedient, the encirclement and suppression is more than a month's work."

In addition, Yamaguchiyo is close to Karopa, which can be reached in one or two days, where on-the-spot training is carried out, and there is a safety guarantee, and once the training is completed, it can be sent to Australia. ”

This is really a good idea, it can not only cultivate talents for the country, but also have a lot of gold into the account, especially rare is that the name is justified, Lao Jiuyinyu was originally fat, and he could hardly see his eyes when he smiled at this time.

Yin Yu said: "It has been decades since the Qing Dynasty banned mines, and it is difficult to find talents in this area, and even if there are any, they are already a lot of age, and there are not many people who are willing to go to Nanyang." To read the latest chapters of this book, please search on Baidu:"

"That's not a concern." Lao Jiu Yinyu smiled and said: "Although the imperial court prohibits mining and punishes private mining severely, however, the profits of private gold mining are very high, and there are still small troublemakers, and there will be no shortage of people in this regard, but this kind of person is not easy to find." As he spoke, he looked at Yinzhen and said, "One is to ask the imperial court to explicitly open the ban on overseas mines, and the other is to borrow the name of the fourteenth brother." ”

"That's no problem, I'll take care of all the expenses, and 40% of the gold mined belongs to them, so is it enough to attract them?" Yinzhen said in a deep voice.

"Forty percent?" Yin Qi couldn't help but say, "Then how much do we have left?" ”

Lao Jiu Yinyu ignored him at all, nodded slightly, and said: "I don't know whether this ratio is high or low, I will immediately send someone to go to the famous mining areas in various places to investigate the situation, find out the details and then report to the fourteenth brother." ”

"Okay, this matter must be grasped quickly, as the starling said, all talents in gold, silver, copper and iron ore are needed." After Yinzhen finished speaking, he turned his head to Yinzhen and said: "Tenth brother, take a long-term view, there are many overseas gold and silver mines, there are talents, and you are worried that there are no mines to mine?" Don't forget, the navy is in the hands of the fourteenth brother. ”

"That's right." Yin Yi immediately smiled and said, "Come, I'll give the fourteenth brother a glass." ”…,

Yinzhen just served the cup, but the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang and the fifteenth elder brother Yinzhen came together, and when they saw this situation, the thirteenth Yinxiang smiled and said: "There is wine to drink, but it is not called thirteen, and the fourteenth brother is too partial." ”

Fifteen Yinzhen was specially called by Yinzhen to come late, meet with the starling brothers, get closer, and it will be convenient to deal with them in the future, thirteen Yinxiang, he really didn't call, it is estimated that the fourth will stay at the table, I didn't want to return to hl so soon, it seems that there is a new situation in the fourth place, he got up and smiled: "It's better to come early than to come early, just opened, take a seat." ”

Thirteen Yinxiang and fifteen Yinzhen were both attracted by Yinzhen after establishing the Fourteenth Party, the eighth, ninth, and tenth naturally did not take the big, and they all stood up immediately. ”

Seeing that the thirteenth Yinxiang and the fifteenth Yinyu were still going to greet each other, Yinyu smiled and said: "My brother, don't make those false courtesies, take a seat." ”

Fifteen Yinyu was a little more restrained, but the old thirteen Yinxiang was self-cooked, and as soon as he sat down, he touched a glass to a few people, and the atmosphere became lively, and Yinyu relaxed a lot after a few glasses of wine.

Seeing that no one reported, Yinxiang and Yinyu came in directly, Yinxi knew that it was arranged by the old fourteenth first, and it should be an intentional matchmaking to deepen the relationship between the brothers, thinking about this, he naturally had to make a gesture, put down the wine glass, he looked at Yinxiang with a smile, and said: "The thirteenth brother's leg disease is already good?" ”

"Brother Xie is worried, it's already gone." Yinxiang replied with a smile.

Lao Shi Yinqi was a straight man, and as soon as he heard this, he said: "This is not right, the fourteenth brother has been worried about your leg disease, and it is not recommended that you go to Europe?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people were all the same, Yinzhen and Yinyu couldn't help but secretly scold Yinzhen for being open-mouthed, Yinxiang was also quite embarrassed, looked at a few brothers, and looked at Yinzhen, and said: "Fourteenth brother, the thirteenth leg disease is obviously already good, why should you always rest assured?" This expedition to Europe, you don't have to fight with Thirteen, how about letting Thirteen go? ”

As soon as they heard this, Yinxi, Yinyu, and Yinqi all felt slightly strange, the old fourteen were vying to lead the troops to Europe? How can it be? Yin Qi didn't think much about it, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the thirteenth brother, the tenth brother guarantees that the fourteenth brother can't go to Europe." ”

This time it was Yinzhen's turn and Yinxiang's two strange, both of them were very concerned about this issue, and they couldn't help but look at Yinqi, Yinzhen took a sip of the wine in the cup, sighed lightly, and said: "Going to Europe, there is no one who has been in three or five years, can hl?" At present, the imperial court asks for money everywhere, and it is not a small amount, how can it be separated from the fourteenth brother, the god of wealth? ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinzhen was like a slap in the face, he was really a fan of the authorities, and he actually neglected this, and unconsciously, he had become an indispensable god of wealth in the Qing Dynasty. It's no wonder that the starling brother was finally willing to die to fight for the reserve, it turned out that he saw through this.

Yinxiang was also overjoyed when he heard this, without the old fourteen fighting with him, among the brothers, he was the most ideal candidate to lead the troops, no wonder Wu Sidao said that he was the best candidate, it turned out that he had already lined up the old fourteen outside, he immediately took the hot iron and said: "The fourteenth brother was originally blinding me, in fact, my leg disease has been cured early, why should the fourteenth brother be worried?" ”

"It's not for me, the thirteenth brother's crane knee wind is caused by the loss of kidney yin and the cold and dampness invading the lower limbs. Europe is cold and wet, no better than the South Seas, and it is really not suitable for the thirteenth brother to go. Yinzhen said with a solemn expression.

Yin Yu also said: "What the fourteenth brother is worried about is that even if the crane knee wind is cured, it must be slowly recuperated, why should the thirteenth brother be in a hurry, is he still worried that the navy will not be able to fight in the future?" ”

Yinxiang knew that the fourth brother wanted to go to Europe with the army, and it was not easy to say it here, so he had to smile and said: "What the starling brother said is, come, thirteen respects the starling for a cup." The toast of the new theory began, and the scene became lively again for a while. ..., the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Kangxi stayed here after dinner to check the secret folds, and he had to personally review the secret folds submitted from all over the place, and returned without leaving a file, in order to let the local officials have no burden in their hearts, and dare and dare to tell the truth.

After a short time, he received a secret report that the old eighty-three people personally visited the old fourteenth, although he had expected it in his heart, he still frowned slightly, and then got up and paced slowly in the hall.

It is impossible for the old fourteen to go to Europe, he does not dare to let the old fourteen take that risk, and Australian immigrants cannot stop because of this, compared to sending troops to Europe, immigration to develop Australia is of more significance to him.

In the process of considering whether to let the old fourteen lead the troops to Europe, he suddenly found that only half a year has passed, and he has a faint helplessness that he can't restrain the old fourteen.

If he is a prince, only the old fourteen is left, and it is impossible for anyone to resist the blow of the old fourteen, and there is no need to secretly establish a reserve, and what makes him entangled is that the strength of the old fourteen is expanding so fast, will his ambition also swell? Will he be as impatient as the second child? His own body is very good, and there should be no problem if he lives for another ten or eight years, Lao Fourteen has such a strong strength and such a high reputation, does he have the patience to wait for ten years?

How can we ensure that the imperial power will not be sidelined? How can we keep the name of the first emperor of the ages from being tarnished? How can we ensure a smooth transition to the throne?

Kangxi paced round and round in the hall, his frowning brows never relaxed, it stands to reason that it is the safest to let the old fourteen not stay in the capital, but the old fourteen is too young, lacks experience in court affairs, lacks the exercise of controlling the overall situation, and the government affairs of Mongolia, the Western Regions, Tibet, and inland provinces are too unfamiliar, and they must be exercised.

Leaving him in the capital, he is afraid of changes over time, not only for his own sake, but also for the sake of the old fourteen, for the sake of the entire Qing Dynasty, thinking that the old fourteen took the initiative to remind himself to change the commander of the nine gates, he felt a little comforted, there is a lesson of the second child in front, the old fourteen is still very careful in taking into account the safety of the imperial power.

The problem is that you can't put the initiative in the hands of the old fourteen, and you can't hope that the old fourteen will never have different intentions, the second child has been the prince for more than 30 years, and how can he have the heart of rebellion and usurpation in the past 20 years?
