Chapter 333: The Dragon Gives Birth to Nine Sons
Since it is an uncivilized native, it is at most a tribe, Kangxi put his mind at ease, and the alliance was excited, but he didn't expect the old fourteen to bring such great news! Overseas New World, there can be at least a few provinces! Coupled with the many islands in the South Sea, it is completely enough to make him famous through the ages, surpassing the ancient and modern emperors!
After a while, Kangxi calmed down, and was about to praise Yinzhen for a few words, but he suddenly thought of overseas sub-sealing, no wonder the old fourteen threw out the overseas sub-seal, it turned out that he had received news from Australia, thinking that the old fourteen persuaded the prince to surrender on the condition of conquering Australia, he immediately restrained his smile and asked flatly: "Are you using Australia to deceive the prince, or do you really plan to use the prince to conquer Australia?" ”
On this question, Yinzhen thought about it for a few days, and when he heard Kangxi's question, he got up and knelt here, kowtowed, and said: "Back to Emperor Amma, the sons have a few words of great rebellion and heart-wrenching, and I hope that Emperor Ama will forgive his sins." ”
Seeing that Yinzhen was so cautious, Kangxi's face became solemn, and he said after a while: "Say." ”
"Huang Ama, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, not a dragon, all different, a group of brothers were born in the heavenly family, there is a non-part of the thought, it is also human nature, since ancient times, the power and fortune are tempting to get drunk, how many people can avoid vulgarity? What's more, it's the Ninety-Five? Yinzhen raised his body and said loudly: "A group of brothers open their teeth to build a house, each of them runs errands, the time is long, self-contained, powerful and powerful, as soon as there is a chance, it will naturally give birth to the heart of contention, in terms of heart, the eldest brother and the prince are all talented and qualified, but the heart is slightly lacking, and they are confined for life, which is a big loss for the clan." Erchen secretly thought that neither the eldest brother nor the crown prince were suitable for long-term solitary confinement, and exile overseas might be more suitable. ”
Kangxi was silent for a while when he heard this, the reason why there was a situation where the sons seized the heirs was indeed related to the system of this dynasty, the words of the old fourteen were not false, and those who dared to compete for the prince were the best among the sons, and it was precisely because of this that he was determined to change the system of establishing the prince. Although the fourteenth child's words were not explained, they alluded to the fact that what the prince did was forced by the situation, and even the boss was brought on it.
For the reinstatement of the crown prince, Kangxi himself is taking advantage of it, and the prince has come to this point, he is somewhat guilty in his heart, after all, he has invested more than 30 years of hard work in the prince, and he is not without father-son love.
However, when this was said by Lao Fourteen, Kangxi was still very unhappy in his heart, and asked coldly at the moment: "You don't want to divide the prince to Australia, do you?" ”
Yinzhen's words, not only to give the prince and the boss a chance, but also to excuse himself for the prince, listening to Kangxi's ridicule, was greatly frightened, and hurriedly replied: "Overseas separation, is the son's whim, after careful consideration, I feel that it is very feasible, how to divide the seal, it all depends on the emperor's Ama holy judgment, and the son's minister does not dare to have the slightest opinion." However, in Nanyang and Australia, Erchen does not recommend separation. ”
Nanyang and Australia, it is not recommended to divide the seal? Kangxi was slightly stunned when he heard this, didn't this old fourteen let out a rumor to separate the two islands in the South Sea? He couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen in surprise, what was the idea in the heart of the old fourteen? After a moment of silence, he said, "Get up and tell me what you think." ”
Seeing that the success diverted Kangxi's attention, Yinzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, he subconsciously glanced at the door. Kangxi noticed Yinzhen's small action, and immediately shouted: "Li Dequan." ”
Li Dequan was startled when he heard the greeting outside the door, and hurriedly responded at the door: "The slave is here, what does the emperor command?" ”
"Thirty paces away, on guard!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.
"Wow." Li Dequan hurriedly bowed in response, got up and beckoned the guards to stay away, today is a little strange, these secrets of the heavenly family, I don't know if it's a blessing.
The footsteps to be heard gradually faded away, Yinzhen only said: "Huang Ama, the preliminary estimate of the son-in-law is that the area of Australia should be half the territory of the Qing Dynasty, this is a borderless land, and God has given it to take it, but it will suffer." Ships exploring along the coast reported that they had found a fist-sized dog's head gold in their dealings with the local aborigines, and Erchen suspected that there were very large gold mines in Australia, most likely comparable to silver mines in the Americas. ..., just listening to these few words, Kangxi was already unconsciously leaning forward, his heartbeat accelerated, half of the territory of the Qing Dynasty! Huge gold mine! Comparable to the silver mines of the Americas! What's that concept? If you remember correctly, Lao Fourteen once said that the West robbed four billion taels of silver in the Americas!
"Australia, we must occupy it, and we must occupy it as soon as possible, if we want to take Australia, we must completely occupy the South Seas, otherwise, Australia is an overseas enclave in the Qing Dynasty, which is not conducive to the control of the imperial court.
Now there is no shortage of silver in the Qing Dynasty, but gold is in short supply, Australia's gold mines must be in the hands of the imperial court, Australia has a vast territory, abundant products, and is close to the Qing Dynasty, and it is a springboard to the Americas, and it must not be divided.
Australia is not divided, Nanyang is naturally not suitable for separation, Nanyang is not only a passage to Australia, but also a passage to the West, Africa, and the Mughal Empire, which must be completely in the hands of the imperial court. ”
Kangxi listened with a slight bow, the old fourteen still put state affairs first everywhere, Australia is indeed not suitable for separation, it must be firmly controlled in the hands of the imperial court, he has experienced the rebellion of the three feudatories, he has a painful pain in the separation, how can such a large territory be divided? Nanyang is also not suitable for separation, the old fourteen's vision is still good, in order to ensure the control of Australia, Nanyang must be in the hands.
Australia's territory is so vast, how many troops do you need to send troops to occupy it? Not a hundred thousand troops can fully occupy it? After the occupation, immigration is also a big problem, how can there be so many people to fill in? Nowadays, Sichuan and Taiwan are vast and sparsely populated.
Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help frowning and was silent.
Yinzhen naturally understood what Kangxi was worried about, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Huang Ama is worried about the population? ”
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Do you have a way?" ”
"This question, Erchen has carefully considered." Yinzhen said calmly: "If the tax is abolished, the population will inevitably swell sharply, but it will take fifteen or even twenty years to take effect at the earliest. ”
Slave trade? Kangxi was stunned, and blurted out, "Where did the slave come from?" ”
"Black African slaves and the Tianzhu people of the Mughal Empire." Yinzhen replied succinctly: "Tianzhu people are used to open up planting fields, black people are used for mining, and the navy can organize slave hunting teams." ”
Kangxi didn't make a sound for a long time, this is not a good reputation, although the Manchus did not do these things before they entered the customs, but now after all, they have been in the customs for more than 70 years, and the slave hunting has become extinct, he is now bent on surpassing the emperors of the past dynasties, if the news of wantonly slave hunting and development of Australia comes out, will he not be criticized by those literati? What is the reputation behind him? Clear
