Everything is the same, what you can't get is always the best, and the more you refuse to accept Hope Yixue, the more attractive it becomes, so that many people stand at the door of Hope Yixue every day, asking for their children to be sent to school, so that Bai Ziyun and other people don't dare to go out of the yard at all. Bayi Chinese~First. hair

When Yinzhen took Bao Fuquan, Da Chun and other people to Da'er Hutong, Bai Ziyun, who had already gotten the news, had already taken all the children and Mr. Hou at the mouth of the alley, seeing this situation, Yinzhen couldn't help crying and laughing, this situation is too familiar, just a child with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, no wonder the teacher in elementary school let us welcome the leader to check, it turned out to be a tradition, and secretly scolded a '', he beckoned Bai Ziyun over, "Hurry up and let Mr. and the children go back to class normally, There is no need to engage in these forms when it is welcome. ”

Bai Ziyun didn't expect to pat the horse's hooves, and asked the gentlemen to take the children back with a red face, and then rushed over to ask An to accompany him, Yinzhen didn't blame him, and casually asked about the situation of Hope Yixue.

Baiyun Mountain gave a brief description of the situation in the past six months, focusing on the refusal.

After listening to Bai Ziyun's report, Yinzhen couldn't help but be silent for a while, hoping that the scale of Yixue was only planned according to three or four hundred people at the beginning, and now it has received four hundred people, it is indeed overcrowded, he has the silver, and there is no problem with expansion, there is vacant land around, the problem is Kangxi's attitude, will further expansion cause Kangxi's backlash? After all, it was under the guise of cultivating surveying and mapping talents, although Kangxi studied Western studies by himself, he was opposed to the study of Western studies by the people. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "Maintain the status quo for the time being, and talk about it next year." ”

After a hasty inspection and condolences to all the gentlemen, Yinzhen went back to his own Baylor Mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he knew that Zheng Shichang and Min Ming had been waiting in the house for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he ordered, "Call Min Ming first." {Hand, hit\ Reading Pavilion. Head. Hair}"

Min Ming's status among the missionaries has risen day by day since he got on the line with Yinzhen, and he paid special attention to Yinzhen's every move now, and after coming in to greet him, he briefly reported to Yinzhen the situation of the missionaries in Beijing and Guangzhou.

Hearing Min Ming's report that the missionaries in China were recruiting a large number of craftsmen, sailors, and Western scholars in Europe, Yinzhen was happy and encouraged himself.

For Zheng Shichang, Yinzhen put forward a lot of requirements, asking him to pay attention to the selection of talents, the implementation of the system, and not to be slackened in the improvement of papermaking and printing, and also let him try to make silver coins according to the standards of one coin, two coins, five coins, and one tael.

After sending the two away, Yinzhen rushed to the palace, since he planned to leave Beijing tomorrow, he naturally wanted to say goodbye to His Majesty Kangxi. Bayi Chinese~

Kangxi summoned Yinzhen in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace as usual.

After the routine greeting, Kangxi inquired in detail about the situation in Shanghai, Yinzhen expected that he must have eyes and ears in Shanghai, so he naturally did not dare to hide it in the slightest, and reported everything truthfully one by one.

Kangxi listened very attentively, and after Yinzhen finished speaking, he smiled and said, "I have read the customs system you formulated, the rules and regulations are strict, meticulous and comprehensive, the management is rigorous, and the supervision is effective, which is very good. ”

Faint to death, do you think I've offended fewer people now or what? Promote it nationwide, how many people's financial routes will be cut off at this time, those customs supervisors, managers, which one is not your close minister, promote it now, don't you roast me on the fire? Thinking of this, Yinzhen calmly replied: "Back to the emperor Ama, no matter how perfect the system is also implemented by people, whether this system is effective, still needs to be verified, Erchen thought that it was better to try it out in Jianghaiguan for a year, to see the effect, and secondly, to cultivate a group of talents, if it is promoted throughout the country in the future, it will not be crooked monks chanting scriptures - good scriptures are also recited crookedly." ”

"What a crooked-mouthed monk chanting." Kangxi said with a smile, "I've been going for less than half a year, and I'm going to learn a little bit of a flamboyant." ”

"Huang Ama receives ministers all day and night, they are all serious and solemn, and being able to make Huang Ama smile is also a filial piety of his sons."

"Rhetoric." Kangxi smiled and scolded, but the mood was very good, this old fourteen will not only make money, but also be outstanding, last year proposed the Agricultural College, and this year there is a customs system, which is all about national policy, what is even more rare is this filial piety, for me to worry a lot, all sons are like him, this day is much more comfortable.

After taking a sip of tea, Kangxi continued, "If you can drum up this customs system, you should have a comprehensive consideration of the customs across the country, don't hide it, pour it out and listen to it." ”

I'm here to resign today, why did I come out of the customs with such a big article, Yinzhen secretly sighed bitterly, frowned slightly and said: "Huang Ama, the matter of customs is very involved, Erchen is not mature to think about it now, let Erchen go back and think about it carefully, and then write an excerpt and submit it, okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm free now, let's hear about it first." Kangxi was still smiling, but he didn't plan to expose the topic.

Seeing that Kangxi insisted, Yinzhen had no choice but to slander a few words in his heart, so he had to speak: "In the past hundred years, the navigation and shipbuilding technology of the West is a thousand miles a day, and the transaction volume of sea trade is also expanding year by year, when my Qing Dynasty's ocean-going fleet and ocean-going trade fleet are launched, I will have an amazing prosperity in the sea trade, with the development of sea trade, the customs tax is bound to rise, and the original intention of Erchen to formulate this customs system is because it is found that the phenomenon of bribery and tax evasion in the Jiang Customs is too serious. It is conservatively estimated that there is also a loss of 30% of tax revenue, which is a huge loss for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Households, and the customs.

Erchen had a preliminary idea of placing the customs under the Ministry of Households, setting up the General Administration of Customs, and exercising vertical leadership over all the customs offices in the country, and appointing the officials of the customs by the Ministry of Officials, which would greatly alleviate the current tight situation in the state treasury. ”

Historically, 25% of the revenue of the customs has been transferred to the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and every year the customs have a fixed amount of funds sent to the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support the operation of the royal finances, and the customs supervision, the local governors of the four major customs offices also have a lot of tribute every year, among which the Guangdong Customs is more known as the "South Treasury of the Son of Heaven", it can be said that the four major customs are actually the "small treasury" of the royal family, which belongs to the Ministry of Households, but it directly involves the vital interests of the royal family, which is equivalent to invisibly cutting off the "small treasury", how dare Kangxi speak easily? After pondering for a long time, he asked quietly, "In this way, won't the Internal Affairs Office have no income?" ”

Yinzhen replied in a good time: "Huang Ama, this tax money received from the household department, the specific distribution ratio is naturally the Emperor Ama Sacred Heart tacitly, and the son is now worried about another problem." ”

Seeing that the so-called reform did not involve his own 'small treasury', Kangxi was completely relieved, and asked with some curiosity: "What else is the problem?" ”

Yin Zhen said eloquently: "Since the opening of the sea, the trade volume has increased every year, because I have sold more commodities and bought fewer commodities, which has led to a large inflow of silver into the domestic market. The large inflow of silver is a good thing in the short term, but over time, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the ratio of silver and copper coins, thereby stimulating the rise in prices, and ultimately the people at the bottom will suffer. ”
