In the study room in the south of the Forbidden City, a group of Manchu and Han ministers are standing with solemn hands, because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house is too large, many ministers wearing Jia Mian jackets have beads of sweat on their heads, but Kangxi in front of him is not angry and arrogant sitting there staring, no one dares to divide his mind and quietly wipe it.

"Why don't you speak, is this Qing Dynasty my own?" Kangxi said lightly, his voice was not high, but it was enough to make everyone's courtiers hang their heads a little lower. "Jiangnan is lost, Huguang is lost, Sichuanzhong is almost finished now, the Qing Dynasty has become a broken ship, do you all want to jump out in a hurry!" As soon as he heard this, Wang Xi, a scholar of the Baohe Palace, and the Manchu and Han ministers knelt down one after another, not daring to recite, and Kangxi waved his hand in displeasure. "Kneel, kneel, kneel, all day long, just kneel, can kneeling solve things?"

Kangxi's words have a reason. Two days ago, Chen Ting, the head of the Han Dynasty, made an excerpt, listed the income and expenditure situation for next year, and then came to a conclusion that the deficit was expected to be 10 million taels next year, and asked Kangxi how to make up for it, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would be in danger of overturning. In the face of this big hole, Kangxi was helpless, so he had to let the ministers discuss such a solution. As a result, after two days, the government and the opposition did not propose any solution, Kangxi had to convene important ministers to discuss in the south study, but he was greeted by silence, which forced him to become ignorant.

"I remember an allusion." Kangxi didn't let the courtiers get up, but sat there and told the story. "In the last years of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, the rebellion was about to sweep the world, and the Ming troops on the front line asked Chongzhen for silver one by one, and without silver, they couldn't fight or quell the rebellion. Chongzhen has already taken out the last bit of belongings in the inner curry, and even the bronzes in the palace have been allocated to the front line, but they are still stretched. "Speaking of which, many people have already understood what Kangxi is going to say, and they are all pale." So Chongzhen had no choice but to convene the ministers, let them be happy to lose, and as a result, from the nobles, clansmen, auxiliaries, and Shangshu to the chief and the minister, in the matter, they talked about loyalty and patriotism on weekdays, and they were more high-profile than the other, but when they heard that Chongzhen wanted them to borrow silver, they cried poor one by one. In the end, Chongzhen didn't borrow a penny of silver, and the front line couldn't get any silver, so he rebelled and entered Beijing, and Chongzhen had to hang himself on the coal mountain. But I never thought that Chuang Rebellion easily searched for tens of millions of taels in the homes of the princes and ministers who kept saying that they had no money to borrow. "When the story comes to this, Kangxi suddenly raised his voice." Do you also want to follow the example of the beginning and watch the Qing Dynasty fall into the country! ”

"The minister (minion) doesn't dare!" The ministers below are like mud one by one, jokes, Chongzhen didn't dare to kill the minister, Kangxi took out the famous Ao Bai before coming to power.

"What don't you dare?" Kangxi sneered. "I haven't begged you for money yet, but I'm just pushing back on an idea, you still have the Qing Dynasty in your eyes, and I am! I'm afraid that one by one I can't wait to escape to the south. Kangxi stood up, walked among the ministers, and bent down to pluck the top from someone's head. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the fastest people to belong to were you Hanchen, who read poetry and books, and now you don't dare to be behind when you know the current affairs, are you anxious to change the court! ”

Du Zhen, a native of Xiushui, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, heard what Kangxi said, and immediately raised his head and responded: "The emperor's words are bad, although the ministers are Hanchen, they have a common enmity with the sea rebellion, and they have no intention of betraying the emperor and the court. ”

Kangxi threw the warm hat back on Du Zhen's head and smiled without laughing: "Yue Shenglong is still the banner of the Han army, don't you say that it will be lowered." ”

However, although the words were vicious, Kangxi's gloomy expression slowed down a little: "You said that you don't want to betray the Qing Dynasty, well, take out your ability to let me see, why do you get this spring official, why do you get the wealth of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Kangxi had long understood that the Manchurians had no brains, so he desperately squeezed these Hanchens, hoping to get a solution from them, and sure enough, Xiong Ci, a scholar of Dongge University, said first: "The minister thinks that he may be able to start with Yanzheng." ”

Salt, yes, is salt, although the Qing court lost the two Huai salt fields, Changlu and other places were under the artillery fire of the Zheng army's sailors, and the sea salt was almost cut off, but the Qing court still had the salt pond in Shanxi and the well salt in Sichuan. Although the origin and market of Sichuan salt were almost completely lost, as long as the salt pond in northern Shaanxi and the salt in Xiezhou in Shanxi could still produce salt, the Qing court could make a big profit.

"Your Majesty, although Lord Xiong's idea is good, the price of salt is already high now." However, Schiller, the secretary of the ministry, objected. "Add ten or twenty wen per catty, the common people obviously can't afford it, but if you only add one or two wen, it won't help." Schiller said his opinion. "Instead of increasing the price of salt, it is better to sell the land of Henan." Schiller knew that some officials in Henan took advantage of the fact that Zheng Jun had plundered a large number of people, and they had coveted a considerable amount of good land, and since the officials could be greedy, why couldn't the Qing court pack and sell the remaining land. "So little to say there is a million taels of income."

Schiller's idea is good, but the question is who is willing to buy, tenants and people have no money to buy land, and rich people are afraid that Zheng Jun will invade the north again and fight chickens and eggs, so Schiller's idea is actually the same as Xiong's gift, which belongs to the kind of donkey dung eggs with a light surface, which is not practical to look at.

"The slaves think that today's plan can only immediately implement the policy of the officials and gentry paying food and doing errands as one." Zuodu Yushi Yu Cheng Chan suddenly spoke, and at the same time he took out a piece of music from his sleeve and presented it. "The gentry are treated favorably by the state, but they do not pay food and do not serve hard labor, just like silverfish, and now the country's income has been greatly reduced, and the treasury is empty.

"Your Majesty, you can't, how can the gentry be destroyed by the dignity of the country." Li Tianfu, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, howled and grabbed the ground with his head, hoping to impress Kangxi to deny Jackie Chan's suggestion. "Minister, the minister wants to impeach Zuo Du Yushi Yu Jackie Chan to shake the foundation of the country, he, he wants the gentry to be pushed to the side of the sea."

What is the foundation of the state of the Qing court, of course, it is not the gentry, but the Manchu people and the Eight Banners. Since the integrated collection of grain and the integrated errand of the gentry did not involve the hardcore crops of the banner people, nor did it involve the manories occupied by the Manchurian nobles in Hebei, not only the Manchurian ministers present bowed their heads and were silent, but even Kangxi, who was looking at Jackie Chan's recital, did not say a word.

However, Li Tianfu's words aroused the echo of the vast majority of Han ministers, who were only officials for money, and even a few officials who held very upright positions shook their heads and remained silent, believing that this was a betrayal of the gentry's tax-free practice that had begun in the Song Dynasty, and would greatly deal a blow to the gentry class's support for the Qing court, and once implemented, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In this regard, Yu Chenglong, who was born in the yellow flag of the Han Army, responded coldly: "What is the difference between the appearance of several adults at the moment and what the emperor just said about the former Ming ministers, one by one, it is difficult to give up good money, do you really want to watch the Qing Dynasty go wrong?" ”

The heart-wrenching rhetorical question suddenly froze the scene. Everyone came back to their senses at this time, yes, is Kangxi's beating just now paving the way for Jackie Chan's recital? From this point of view, I'm afraid that Kangxi will sing a double reed with Yu Jackie Chan again.

Thinking of this, some of the Han ministers began to retreat, of course, they did not object in their faces, but there must be small actions in private, only Zhang Yushu, a scholar of Wenhuadian University who attended with illness, coughed and said: "The emperor is clear, the policy of the officials and gentry to pay food and work as an errand is unprecedented, and the implementation will inevitably be obstructed. Of course, the lack of use in the imperial court cannot be ignored, and the minister's suggestion may be able to slightly reduce the worries of the monarch. ”

Zhang Yushu slowly took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it over: "The minister, please immediately implement the fire consumption and return it to the public and spread it into the mu." ”

This caused a fluctuation in the study. What is fire consumption, fire consumption is a means for local officials to exploit the people in different ways, and it is their way to make money. As for the spread of the land into the mu, I heard that the territory of the Zheng Domain in the south has been carried out for several years, and I don't know what the effect is, but the fact that the Zheng army can attack on the front line of Huguang at least shows that this matter will not cause chaos.

The conservative Hanchen had the same heart to oppose it, but compared with the official gentry who paid food and paid for it as an errand, the impact of the fire consumption to the public was much smaller, so Zhang Ying, a scholar of the Baohe Palace, immediately echoed the words: "The minister thinks that the policy of returning the fire consumption to the public is feasible as Lord Zhang, but I am afraid that it will be implemented to avoid mistakes." ”

In fact, he believed that the policy of apportioning the land to the mu was not a good thing for the lower class people, and more importantly, the policy of apportioning the land to the mu could not solve the financial crisis of the Qing court and caused extraneous branches, so he advocated that the short-term and fast fire consumption should be implemented by the public first.

As soon as Zhang Ying began like this, the Han ministers who understood immediately echoed it, and for a while, the return of fire consumption to the public seemed to have become a panacea for the Qing court to come back to life, but Chen Tingjing, the head of the household who provoked the whole incident, did not give everyone face, he bowed his head and calculated for a while, and then reported: "Your Majesty, even if you start to implement the return of fire consumption to the public now, in terms of average fire consumption of 20%, it can only increase the income of 5 million taels, and the gap is still half." ”

"Then add three cents to the price of salt." Xiong Cixu repeated his previous idea, he naturally knew that Beijing ordered the addition of three texts, which fell on the heads of the people, more than ten or twenty texts, but this master of science was a model of loyalty and patriotism, how could he take more care of the people of Dousheng. "This can be hundreds of thousands of taels more."

Even this is not enough, at this time, Alantai, who was the same Wuyingdian scholar as Li Tianfu, whispered something to the people next to him and was seen by Kangxi, so he named and said: "Alantai, if you have something to say, be louder, I can't hear it clearly." ”

"Minions, minions." Alantai didn't expect to be caught by Kangxi, and he was a little frightened, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and bowed. "The slave just got a shallow view, thinking that maybe he could arrange for the Han army to raise the flag"

Alantai wanted to reduce the cost of hardcore crops by sending out the flag of the Han army, but Yu Chenglong was in a hurry, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor can't do it."
