Chapter 20: Difficult!

"Bastard!"

opened this piece of music presented by the Zongren Mansion, and before Kangxi could read a few lines, he was furious again!

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! …… What the hell is going on? Suo Etu believed that he was now the first powerful minister in the court, and when he saw Kangxi getting angry, the others were silent one by one, thought for a while, and then stepped forward and asked.

"Humph! Lebto, this guy, is really restless, he has just been confined for half a year, and it has only been a few days? It's going to be a mess again, he doesn't want me to live! ......" Kangxi said angrily.

"Prince Jane? What's wrong with him to make the emperor so angry? Suo Etu was surprised, this Prince Jian is really not upset, what is wrong with him? …… Suo Etu still doesn't know that the cause of this incident is that he gave Old Man Fei and others a mansion without authorization.

"It's not because of your family, you can see for yourself......" Seeing Suo Etu's question, Kangxi glared angrily, shook his hand and threw the fold to him.

"My own family ......" Suo Etu was stunned, Prince Jane Lebto is in Mukden, where does he have any home there? Is something going on? So, he took the fold and immediately flipped through it.

……

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know about this matter, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" After reading the letter, Suo Etu immediately knelt down in front of Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, the slave really didn't know that Ferdinand would be so bold, if the emperor wanted to punish him, the slave would never say anything!" ”

"Alright, I know it's none of your business, get up!" Kangxi picked up Suo Etu, at this time, Mingzhu fell, Suo Etu's party must be surprised and happy, they are happy that one party has been dominant since then, and what is surprising is that Kangxi has such a method, I don't know if he will attack them too! Therefore, at this time, we must not let the Suo Etu party be too arrogant, and we must not frighten them!

"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Xiong Cixu also asked beside him. Ferdinand again? Last time, this guy made a lot of trouble in the imperial court, so that now some Manchu and Han officials still don't like each other, this time, what happened to him again?

"Hmph, this old man Ferdinand is really powerful, he actually tried to grow rice outside Fengtian City, and one is more than 1,500 acres!" Kangxi's voice kept rising, and it seemed that he was very angry.

"Growing rice in Mukden? How is this possible? Rice is produced in the humid and hot land of the south, and it cannot be cultivated in North China, let alone Manchuria, which is even more cold. He's messing around! ......" Xiong Cishu also shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this person must not be spared...... I said they were of suspicious origin, and sure enough...... He is trying to destroy the root of my Manchuria and the land of my ancestors! When Suo Etu saw Xiong Cilu say this, he also quickly broke off his relationship with Ferdinand! As soon as Mingzhu fell, those imperial envoys who wanted to be famous and wanted to go crazy were staring at him, and now the wind was too tight, but no one could catch him, otherwise, he might have to take a few "bricks", so he had to resolutely draw a line with Ferdinand and his gang.

"Spread my will, Ferdinand was demoted to a third-class man, and seized the position of deputy capital, Yuheng, as the Yin of Fengtianfu, did not report it, and issued an order to reprimand......" Kangxi is angry, Ferdinand has a history of causing chaos among the Manchu and Han officials in the imperial court, and this time it seems that he is unreasonable, after all, the Northeast has no history of planting rice before this, and Kangxi was already suspicious of the five of them, so he finally decided to punish him well. (Rice cultivation in Northeast China was first successful in 1875 by Korean immigrants in Northeast China!) )

"The Emperor's ......"

Just as Kangxi was talking about the punishment of the relevant people, a low cry came into his ears, and he turned his head to see that it was Gao Shiqi!

"Gao Shiqi, what else do you have to do?"

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Gao Shiqi said.

"What should not be said? If you have something to say...... Although I have dismissed your officials, you are still my courtiers after all! After scolding, stroke it again, Kangxi is very familiar with this hand.

Of course, the people present also understood what Kangxi meant, Gao Shiqi had a delicate heart, and of course he understood it even more, but he was still moved by this sentence, and his eyes were foggy on the spot, and his voice choked up: "Your Majesty...... The Emperor's Mighty Grace,...... The Guilty ...... Ten thousand deaths are hard to report......"

"Okay, okay, when did you Gao Shiqi cry so much? Alright, get up and talk! Kangxi saw Gao Shiqi crying, and his heart was also a little gloomy, he got along with these courtiers longer than the concubine's family on weekdays, although they were guilty, but they were also reluctant!

"Uh......h The guilty minister thanked the emperor! ......" Gao Shiqi stood up and bowed to Kangxi and said, "Sin...... The criminal received a letter from Ferdinand last year, and he asked the criminal to help find a few wild rice seedlings! ……”

"He wants you to help him find wild rice seedlings?" Kangxi was stunned!

"Yes!" Gao Shiqi has gradually controlled his feelings, and his speech has slipped smoothly.

"What is he looking for wild rice seedlings for?"

"Your Majesty, how can wild rice seedlings keep up with good rice? Come to think of it, then Ferdinand must want to plant this kind of rice on the land of Manchuria and destroy the fertile soil of Manchuria......" Suo Etu exclaimed, he was proud of his quick reaction in his mind at this time, and as soon as he heard the words "wild rice seedlings", he guessed Ferdinand's thoughts, and at this moment, he could not only expose Ferdinand's "conspiracy" for the emperor, but also completely clear his relationship with the old man Fei who claimed to be also a Hesheri clan!

"Shiqi, ...... you say" Kangxi glanced at Suo Etu unhappily, and asked Gao Shiqi again.

"Your Majesty, Ferdinand's letter to his ministers is to let wild rice seedlings be crossed with our usual rice seedlings, so that another kind of high-yield rice can be produced. However, then the sinner thought of something......"

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that North Korea also grows rice...... Moreover, it is further north than Mukden, so the guilty minister thought, since North Korea can also grow rice, why can't Mukden be planted a little south? Moreover, what was the use of Ferdinand's bad Manchurian land? Growing rice is certainly not an overnight success, and if there is no high-yield rice, who will follow him? The imperial court won't allow it! …… Moreover, Manchuria is the foundation of our Qing Dynasty, and there are Manchurians everywhere, if he wants to make trouble there, won't he ask for hardship? ”

"Well, that makes sense! …… You're going to send someone to find wild rice for him, aren't you? ”

"Emperor Shengming, the criminal minister didn't think it was a big deal at that time, so he sent someone to the south to find two rice ......seedlings," Gao Shiqi said carefully.

"But he planted 1,500 acres at once, could it be that he got some high-yield rice? …… No, even if two rice seedlings are successful, it is impossible to cultivate enough seedlings to grow so much land at once! ......Although Kangxi doesn't understand agricultural planting, he also knows that it is unlikely.

"Your Majesty, the minister also received a letter from Ferdinand asking for seedlings, I thought he was messing around, so he ignored it, but now listening to what Gao Jiangcun said, it seems that there is some truth, however, one thing is certain, that is, Ferdinand did not mean to hide it, so it seems that he may not have any malicious intent...... "Xiong Cixu also remembered the old things! (Gao Shiqi, Haojiang Village)

"Whether he has malicious intent or not, he just can't plant things in Mukden! …… Even if he is not punished, the emperor should issue an order to reprimand him and stop him from coming so nonsense! Suo Etu saw that the atmosphere on the field had changed a little, and these people didn't seem to take themselves seriously, so he said with some annoyance.

"Your Majesty! …… The yield of rice per mu is higher than that of wheat, as far as the minister knows, the yield of rice per mu is about two stones, that is, two hundred and forty and fifty catties, while the yield of wheat is only one hundred and fifty or sixty catties per mu. Not to mention whether Ferdinand can make good rice, even if he can't get it, if he can plant grain in Manchuria, then I will have another granary in the Qing Dynasty! ......" Xiong Cixu thought of the scene of Manchuria full of grain fields, and couldn't help but be excited. (According to the Internet, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the average yield of wheat per mu was 167 catties, and Guangxi, Guizhou and other places were the least, only more than 60 catties!) After Kangxi implemented a kind of improved rice in the 51st year, the average yield per mu of rice in the south of the Yangtze River was only two stones and eight buckets, and one stone was about one hundred and twenty catties! are far below current levels. )

"Isn't Lord Xiong thinking too beautiful? Manchuria is the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, how can it be messed up there? Moreover, if Ferdinand's cultivation of rice in Manchuria was unsuccessful and spread out, what would the people say? My land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty is not as good as the land of Korean projectiles? …… Who will bear the consequences? "Suo Etu can't do anything else, and it's still a little capable of picking on people.

"This ......" Xiong Cixu was excited for a while, he didn't think of the special status of Manchuria, and after Suo Etu's reminder, his face turned pale in an instant! …… Manchuria, where can it be their turn to get these Han officials to speak!

"Zhang Tingyu!" Kangxi suddenly shouted.

"The minister is here!" Zhang Tingyu immediately bowed down and replied.

"You leave for Mukden at once, find that Ferdinand, and see what he has to say!"

"Yes!" Without any delay, Zhang Tingyu turned around and walked out of the upper study.

"Your Majesty, why send someone to question? All you need to do is make a holy decree and let Ferdinand come to the capital, and besides, isn't it a bit of a fuss to send a special messenger for such a thing? Suo Etu looked at Kangxi with some puzzlement.

"Making a fuss? Hmph, what's all the fuss? This is a major event, a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood! Kangxi glanced at Suo Etu unhappily and said.

"The national economy and people's livelihood? The emperor's meaning is somewhat understood...... It's just that the minions still have something to say! ”

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, not to mention whether Ferdinand can succeed or not, even if he succeeds, how much land can he open up if there are few Manchurians? Are you planning to immigrate to Kanwai in large numbers? Wouldn't that shake the country's foundation? After such a while, Suo Etu already felt Kangxi's attitude towards this whole thing, and immediately adjusted his strategy appropriately, no longer resolutely opposed, but raised one of the biggest problems: the Qing Dynasty imposed a ban on Manchuria!

This kind of ban originated in the Mandate of Heaven (i.e., the Nurhachi period), and its core is to protect the "Dragon Prosperity Land"! Its purpose is to protect and exclusively enjoy the economic resources of the hometown, protect the cultural tradition of the Manchu "Chinese riding and shooting", and protect the holy places that arose in the Qing Dynasty from being destroyed. …… These articles, even for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, are almost untouchable terms! Because if it is violated, it is equivalent to "disrespecting the ancestors", and for the emperor, it is also a big crime of "unfilial piety", even if the emperor is a very authoritative Kangxi, he will be very passive!

Moreover, even if Kangxi immigrants are not Han Chinese, but Manchus, how many of these Manchus can farm?

"I know what you mean, that's why I sent Zhang Tingyu to Fengtian! …… Alas! Kangxi was originally a little excited, and he could only sigh helplessly, the ban during the Mandate of Heaven did protect the newly emerging Manchus, so that they were not affected by the atmosphere of the Southern Dynasties, and maintained the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian army at that time, but how much effect does this ban have now? At the time of the Ping San Domain, the Eight Banners Army had already been defeated in successive battles, and finally the imperial court relied on the victory of the Han Army's green battalion, and now, these banner people not only did not repent, but intensified, enjoying the monthly money given by the imperial court, not working, becoming more and more disagreeable, if this continues, what role can the little people who stay in Manchuria play?

"It's collapsing so fast! The Mongols occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years, and although they were finally driven out by Zhu Yuanzhang, they were still able to carry their horses and knives and kill in all directions at that time, so that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di father and son finally failed to put their hands into the grassland, but since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in the second year of Shunzhi to the rebellion of the three feudatories in the 20th year of Kangxi, it was only a short 37-year time, and they had defeated strong enemies countless times. The invincible Eight Banners Army has collapsed, and has been defeated by Wu Sangui's army, and finally blocked the enemy's attack, but it has already lost half of the country, if it is not for the final use of the Han army's green battalion, if it is not for Wu Sangui's strategy mistakes, I am afraid that even the city of Beijing has already been lost! Where will there be today! …… Now, if the imperial court wants to exterminate a Geerdan with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will have to prepare hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses for several years! At the beginning, Emperor Taizu led 30,000 troops to fight with Chahar Lindan Khan, who claimed to lead 400,000 troops, and he never had such a hard time! Kangxi's mind was full of thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to throw those flag people who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun one by one into the white mountains and black waters in the northeast to rectify them!

If all these guys can fight well, where will the country be in such trouble, and will the three feudatories dare to riot? As soon as they withdraw the feudal domain, they may have to obediently hand over their military power; Does Geldan dare to rebel? Even if he dares, he can destroy him by only sending tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, where is it like now to prepare hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, prepare tens of millions of stone military rations, and tens of millions of military salaries, and it will take several years to dare to act!

"Your Majesty? ......" Seeing that Kangxi was silent after talking for a while, Suo Etu called softly.

"You all go out, I have to think about it!" Kangxi leaned back in the chair, waved his hand, and motioned for Suo Etu and the three to go out.

"The minions (ministers) are retired!"

*******

"Wow, I'm going to kill! ……”

Just when Kangxi was having a headache about the depravity of the children of the Eight Banners, in Yaksa, a certain fake Manchurian was showing her strength! …… The screams of Mo Yan, the county lord of Doro, made Yu Zhong, who was hiding far away, and Peng Chun, the new Heilongjiang general who went to Yaxa, feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"Yu Dutong, isn't it because you haven't been able to satisfy Jinggege recently?"

Peng Chun, who was knighted as a first-class duke, is currently the general of Heilongjiang, and is also the deputy capital of Mongolia in the Red Banner, leading the title of prince and taibao! (Eight banners, there are 24 parts of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han ethnic groups)

Originally, Pengchun's station was in Nebuchu, and he had been sorting out the border defense for more than a year, and he finally got free, so he wanted to take a look at Mo Jing, who had been called "the first beauty in Heilongjiang" by those soldiers, because when Mo Jing's five people first arrived at Suo Etu's camp on the edge of Nebuchu City, he was staying in Yaksa and couldn't see it! Therefore, he plans to make up for this deficiency this time, and take a closer look at what this strange woman looks like who is ready to speak to the army!

It's just that when he came here and saw Yu Zhong, he forced this guy to take him outside Mo Jing's room with both soft and hard methods, and when he didn't knock on the door, he was frightened by the sudden screams from the room.

“…… Yu Dutong, are you really sure it's not because of your problem? ”

Although the scream was separated by a layer of door panels, Peng Chun could still clearly feel the anger and helplessness contained in it, so of course he couldn't believe what Yu Zhong said was definitely none of his business! …… What else can a woman be angry for? I heard that this Mo Jing County Lord is almost thirty years old! It's normal that Yu Zhong can't hold on!

"No, it's definitely not my problem!"

For Peng Chun's dirty thoughts, Yu Zhong couldn't cry or laugh! He wanted to come, but was Mo Jing so easy to get close to? Although the two have been very close a few times in the past year or so, they have definitely not reached the point where they can't hold on!

"Why is there such a big anger in that eye?" Following Peng Chun was the deputy capital of Nebuchu, Lang Tan, this guy looked like a thief, and his heart kept twitching, and he always felt that he seemed to have some bad intentions.

"Wouldn't you know if you asked? Who's going to go in with me? Yu Zhong smiled reluctantly and looked at Peng Chun and the others.

"Are you okay?"

"This ...... I can't guarantee it! …… Everyone can only bear all the consequences! "Yu Zhongzheng color road.

“…… Lang Dutong! Peng Chun suddenly said to Lang Tan.

"General?"

"Knock on the door!"

“……”
