Chapter 760: The Future of the Great Qing Dynasty

Not to mention the shock of all strata of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi left an army to garrison Changbai Mountain, and then ended his trip to Saiwai and hurried back to the capital.

On the way, Brother Jiu received the good news that Fusuni had given birth to a daughter. Brother Jiu was very happy, he had long wanted a little padded jacket as well-behaved and cute as Fu'er, and none of the two stinky boys were obedient.

After returning to Beijing, Brother Jiu wanted to fly back to the palace immediately, but he couldn't leave. Countless clan and civil and military officials who stayed in Beijing went out of Beijing for thirty miles to greet them, and they wanted to know the most accurate information about the Heavenly Palace and the fairy.

Although they have also learned about the appearance of the Heavenly Palace and the descent of the fairy from various sources, there are always such and such doubts, it can be said that this time people go out of Beijing to take over, it is the most willing one in their lives.

Kangxi naturally knew everyone's intentions, so he didn't stay and went back to the palace directly.

Then, the clan and the ministers of civil and military affairs who came to greet him got up one after another, joined the team, and inquired about the events of the day with people who knew each other. When the team entered the palace, everyone knew about it, but the heat in their hearts was irrepressible.

Kangxi led the crowd into the Taihe Palace, which is enough to see the importance he attaches to this matter.

Although Kangxi had ordered the Ministry of Rites to refer to the etiquette system of the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties and reformulate the etiquette system of the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to complete it in a short period of time, so everyone still used the original etiquette to meet Kangxi.

Kangxi sat in a high position and said: "When the new etiquette system has not yet been formulated, let's go according to the original etiquette system for the time being, and the Ministry of Etiquette should hurry up." ”

The Ministry of Rites is still in the list to receive the order.

Kangxi said again: "There are a lot of things to discuss today, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, come and show your relatives." ”

Everyone thanked Kangxi with emotion.

If it was in the past, where would Kangxi pay attention to whether everyone was tired of standing? Now, because of the fairy's words, he began to know how to be sympathetic.

After a period of chaos, everyone also sat down, and Kangxi said: "I believe that you all know that the Heavenly Palace has appeared, and the fairy has gone down to everything, and you must all hope to be able to live forever one day, then, from now on, everything in the Qing Dynasty must be changed." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and although people believed in gods in the past, no one had seen them with their own eyes, so that kind of belief was not pious enough.

However, now, the real Heavenly Palace and the fairy appeared in front of them, and hundreds or thousands of people witnessed it together, and they couldn't fake it. In this way, everyone has to pay attention to the conditions that the fairy said can make people immortal.

Tong Guowei got up and said, "Your Majesty, the slave thinks ......"

"Uncle, the fairy said, the people of the Qing Dynasty cannot be distinguished from the noble and the lowly, in the future, don't call yourself a slave, just call yourself a minister."

"Yes, the minister believes that the officials should be investigated from now on, and those officials who oppress the people should be punished severely! Especially those who have caused human life, they should be beheaded! If the circumstances are not particularly serious, order them to compensate the people, give them a chance to turn over a new leaf, and if they commit another crime in the future, they will be punished concurrently and will not be tolerated! ”

Tong Guowei realized from the fairy's words that he had compassion and love for the general public, so he first thought of making decisions for the people and dealing with a group of people who were hungry for the people.

He is now almost in his prime, it can be said that one leg has entered the coffin, and the appearance of the heavenly palace and the fairy at this moment can be said to be his last hope, the longevity fruit in four years, he is determined to win!

Tong Guowei's suggestion has been echoed by many people, and to be able to sit on this hall, they are basically already important ministers of the country, that is, they are exploiting the people, and they have already escaped from the lowest means, besides, they don't need to come forward themselves, even if they find out the head, at most push out the minions below to confess.

Alinga got up and said, "Your Majesty, slave...... The minister thought that the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the whole country should be investigated, the relevant taxes should be reformulated, and the tax burden of the people should be reduced. ”

Who said that Alinga is unlearned? He knew very well that the current taxes of the Qing Dynasty were very problematic, and the poorest peasants were the most burdened with taxes, and the merchants who were so rich that they were oily that the taxes they paid were relatively not worth mentioning, and the officials enjoyed all kinds of tax reduction policies.

This is patently unfair!

However, in the past, these vested interests naturally wanted to protect their own rights and interests, and naturally sacrificed the interests of other strata. Now, however, there is an immortality that everyone is praying for, and he is willing to give up a part of the benefits.

Alinga's suggestion was also recognized by everyone, and it was not so unacceptable to let some benefits to the people compared to immortality.

Wang Luo stood up and said, "The minister thinks that the top priority is to popularize education. The squires should be asked to donate money and food, set up village schools in the villages, and hire children to enlighten the villagers. Most of the common people could not afford to support a student, and the squires should take on more responsibilities. The imperial court can also allocate a part of the money and grain. County schools and prefectural schools should also be expanded accordingly. In addition, Baume & Mercier should be encouraged to establish academies to receive more students to study. ”

Hubu Shangshu Mu and Lun said: "Universal education is naturally to be done, but if all the townships in the country want to establish township schools, and the imperial court has to allocate money and grain, I am afraid that the cost will be larger. The squires can donate money and food in advance to build a village school. ”

Now that the tax has to be reformulated, I don't know how much tax can be collected every year after the revision, and Mu Helun, who is in charge of the treasury money bag, naturally does not dare to loosen his mouth at will.

Kangxi said: "Donating money and grain to open a village school is also a matter of great merit, presumably the squires from all over the country are still willing." Let's wait until the tax is accounted for and then see if we can allocate the funds. ”

After that, there were 6 more admonitions that if it could be implemented immediately, Kangxi agreed, and if it could not be implemented immediately, it was also ordered that the relevant departments investigate and collect evidence and implement it in stages.

This discussion was discussed for an afternoon and an all-nighter.

However, everyone was in high spirits, and they didn't feel tired at all, as if they wanted to eliminate all the malpractices of the Qing Dynasty in one go, and wanted to obtain huge merit immediately......

It was Kangxi who stopped: "Let's do these things well first, let's talk about the rest, that's all, I'm afraid it will be enough for the court to work hard for a few years." ”

Prince Zhuang shouted: "Who dares to shout hard work? It's a big matter for the eldest family, who dares to drop the chain, don't blame the knife in the king's hand for not recognizing people! ”

Everyone also said that as long as you can get immortality, what is the point of working hard now?

After dispersing, Brother Jiu hurriedly returned to the mansion and went straight to the confinement room in the main courtyard.

Fusuni had already given birth to two children, and every time the delivery room and confinement room were in the east wing, so Brother Jiu didn't need to ask the slave, so he walked straight over.

The smell in the confinement room is always a little unpleasant, and Brother Jiu covered his nose as soon as he entered the door, and said in a muffled voice: "I haven't smelled this for several years......"

Fusuni laughed and trembled: "The concubine's body is already good here, the windows are opened every day for ventilation, the concubine's body is also wiped every day, and the head is cleaned every few days. ”

After all, Fusuni grew up in the world hundreds of years later, and knows that many of the traditional production taboos that have been passed down for thousands of years are incorrect, and her confinement is more scientific, which is completely different from the confinement of women in this era.

If it is really a woman in this era, she will not wash her hair, take a shower and brush her teeth for a month! There can't be a trace of wind in the room, and the confinement room will be stuffy for a whole month.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes: "How can you know what other people's confinement rooms are like?" Quick, let me see my lord's good daughter. ”

"My lord really forgot his daughter-in-law when he had a daughter. No wonder everyone says that the daughter is the little lover of her father's previous life. ”

Brother Jiu scolded with a smile: "Where did these messy ideas come from? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

Fusuni snorted, of course not telling him that this was the way it would be said hundreds of years later.

Brother Jiu asked: "Then, the daughter is the little lover of the father's previous life, what about the son?" ”

Fusuni said proudly: "The son is naturally his mother's knight!" ”

Brother Jiu knew Europa very well, so he understood what was going on with the knight, he shook his head with a smile, changed his clothes, and after washing his hands and face, he went into the bedroom and picked up his daughter.

"Lord's little baby is so beautiful."

Fusuni rolled her eyes: "Which eye can see that she is beautiful?" It hasn't grown much yet, it's ugly. ”

"I have seen both eyes, my little baby and Fu'er are simply printed in the same mold, and they will definitely be a big beauty in the future!"

Fusuni leaned over and looked left and right, but she couldn't see how her daughter resembled her. Although she gave birth to three children, she still didn't have the skill of being able to see who the baby looked like in the confinement.

While watching Brother Jiu tease his daughter, Fu Suni asked, "Didn't you go back to Beijing yesterday, why did you come back now?" ”

"It's not Khan Ama yet, summoning the ministers in the Taihe Hall to discuss how to achieve immortality."

Fusuni immediately became interested: "What did Khan Ama say? ”

"What else can I say? Fu'er has already said it so clearly, as long as you want to get immortality, who dares to disobey Fu'er's rules? Khan Ama had decreed that all ethnic groups were equal under the rule of the Qing Dynasty and that restrictions on intermarriage between ethnic groups should be lifted. ”

Fusuni clapped her hands and laughed, "It's long overdue for cancellation!" Do you know that the more you intermarry in a small circle, in the end, the closer the blood relationship of the offspring will become, and the higher the chance of deformed children and inmented children! The more the scope of intermarriage is expanded, the more complete the genes in the children's bloodline, and the easier it is to give birth to intelligent children. ”

Brother Jiu was surprised: "There is still such a statement? ”

"Of course! That's why the ancestors are not allowed to marry with the same surname and clan. Maybe they didn't know the reason, but it must have been in ancient times that there were all kinds of tragedies caused by the marriage of close relatives, and the ancestors did not know the reason, but they knew that it was not right to do so. In fact, it is not good to marry between aunts and cousins. If you don't believe it, you can investigate the situation of intermarriage and childbirth between cousins. ”

Brother Jiu took this to heart, and continued: "The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, have also relaxed the restrictions on scientific examinations, as long as they have no criminal convictions, they can participate in scientific examinations. It was also suggested that each township should establish a village school and ask the squires to donate money. It has been discussed again to reformulate the tax ...... for all walks of life."

Brother Jiu explained the things of his life to Fu Suni in detail one by one, and Fu Suni was overjoyed when she heard it: "That's good, that's good, in this way, after one or two generations, the Qing Dynasty will be far from what it is today!" As long as the government is clear, the officials are thinking about the interests of the country and the interests of the people, coupled with the popularization of education and the open-mindedness of thought, when the time comes, the countries of Europa will definitely not be able to catch up with the footsteps of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Fu Suni is really happy, the reason why she exposed the existence of the spiritual realm so early and avoided Kangxi from marrying the ninth elder brother is only one of the reasons, and the most important reason is to speed up the pace of the Qing Dynasty science and technology exhibition!

In the past ten years, although Kangxi has tried hard to change, his power alone has always been limited, although the Qing Dynasty's science and technology exhibition has made great progress compared to before, but it is far from meeting Fusuni's expectations. Now, she has released the temptation of immortality, hoping that the carriage of the Qing Dynasty can move forward in the direction she guided!

Brother Jiu was puzzled: "Fu'er always seems to think that the countries of Europa can be stronger than the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Brother Jiu has heard Fusuni say more than once that he can't let the countries of Europa catch up with the Qing Dynasty, he thinks it's incredible, the countries of Europa, the territory is narrow and the population is sparse, how can it be compared with the vast land and the large population of the Qing Dynasty?

Fusuni was silent for a moment, sighed lightly, and said: "Before, the concubine body only had a vague feeling that there would be a war between the countries of Europa and the Qing Dynasty one day, and in the feeling of the concubine body, the Qing Dynasty was afraid that it would decline after this battle. After that, the concubine was at Khan Ama and saw a book......"

"What book?"

Brother Nine asked.

Fusuni said: "That book, I'm afraid it was obtained by Khan Ama during Kangxi's thirty-eighth year of his southern tour, the thing that everyone guessed for ten years and didn't guess." It was since then that Khan Ama has undergone great changes. After reading that book, the concubine finally understood why Khan Amma's ruling style changed so much after that. ”

"What is written in that book?"

Fusuni shook her head and said, "The concubine can't tell the master what is in the book, and Khan Ama is afraid that he will pass on the book to the successor." The concubine can only say that in that book, there is the future of the Qing Dynasty......"
