Chapter 104: To each his own sutra
Maritime transport is a door, a door to break the closed country. Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in order to guard against the Zheng forces entrenched in Taiwan, the strategy of Jinghai has always been adopted. Even if the Zheng clan has fallen, the sea ban is still not opened, and it is called the Heavenly Empire behind closed doors, although it is not completely isolated from the outside world, but the foreign trade quota is pitifully small. In this era of rapid development of the Western world, China, a large country, is slowly falling behind, not only in technology, but also in terms of ideology, only by opening the door of shipping, can we carry out overseas trade, and only have the opportunity to keep up with the trend of the Great Leap Forward in today's world.
Thinking of the tragic events such as the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces in his previous life, Yinzuo's heart always sank uncomfortably, whether from the perspective of a traverser or an aspiring elder brother, he would never allow such a thing to happen again, but it is not easy to break the established policy of closing the country to the outside world.
Let's not talk about the opposition of the courtiers - those Confucians, who only know what to do, except for doing some useless bullshit articles, only know that the Celestial Empire is rich in land and resources, and there is no need for foreign strange and obscene skills, and they don't know anything about the next things. Even the old man Kangxi, who thinks he is open-minded and has studied foreign languages for several years with missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, John Tang, and Nan Huairen, will not agree to open the sea ban.
If you want to break through the policy of closing the country from the front, it is basically hopeless, and Yinzuo will not be stupid enough to directly hit the wall that can't be broken at all, but it is possible to make a small window on the wall first in a roundabout way - at this time, take advantage of the opportunity to run a river work mission, and first get the sea grain to be completed. Once the shipping begins, it will be inevitable to crack down on pirates and dialogue with Portugal and Spain, the two maritime powers, so that it is inevitable that the weak sailors of the Qing Dynasty will be flattened.
To build a navy requires money and technology, which forced the Qing Dynasty to move forward, not only to engage in overseas trade, but also to have overseas forces, at that time, a small window will become the door, and Yinzuo wants such a result, although there are many dangers and difficulties, but Yinzuo will never give up, not only for future generations, but also for his own great cause. Seeing that the chariot was about to start, Yinzuo's mood was really excited, but when Lin Xuanyi told a piece of news, Yinzuo was a little unhappy.
"Congratulations to the prince on becoming a father." Lin Xuanyi said calmly with a face full of congratulations, although the words were congratulations, but Lin Xuanyi's face did not mean congratulations at all.
"Who? I? Being a father? Yin Zuo was immediately dumbfounded: What is this going on, we haven't gotten married yet, why did you run out of a child?
"After the prince went to the morning dynasty today, Liu Chang'e came, saying that the two girls in Tianjin Wei are there, so what should the prince do?" Lin Xuanyi said unhurriedly.
Depend on! I was so busy that I forgot about Chunlan and Qiu Ju, I was ashamed! Well? I'm going to be a father, hahaha, we're really sharpshooters, being a father, hahaha, cool! Yinzuo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but Lin Xuanyi's next sentence made Yinzuo's smiling face sluggish.
"The prince is about to get married."
Ah, big wedding, Lan Yue'er? Yinzuo was stunned. It's not uncommon for brothers to have a few concubines before marriage in these years, not to mention brothers, even those rich people's families, which is also a normal thing, but there is one thing that is troublesome - ordinary concubines gave birth to children before the master's marriage, and they became aunts, but this matter is a little troublesome for the brothers.
According to the Qing system, if you want to become the Fujin of the elder brother, even if it is a side Fujin, you have to pay attention to an identity, and it is needless to say that it is the origin of the three banners, even if it is the side Fujin, you have to be a flag person, like Chunlan and Qiu Ju, a woman from a lowly background, not to mention the side Fujin, even the door of the elder brother can not enter, but the child still has status, according to the convention, the child has to be taken back to the palace as soon as he is born, and the two girls cannot enter the gate of the palace, and they will not see their children for the rest of their lives.
In other words, other elder brothers will not take this matter to heart, and then take the child back after the big wedding, the two girls will be thrown aside and go with him, there is no shortage of beauties around the elder brothers, and there is no need to spend any energy, but Yinzuo is different, it is not a soft-hearted talk, but from later generations, he knows that children without maternal love must have flaws in their personalities, and Yinzuo doesn't want his own children to be such a person.
It's not impossible to let those two girls enter the door, carry the flag - this is a unique thing in the Qing Dynasty, the so-called "lifting", that is, the meaning of promotion from low to high. Carrying the flag is an act of praise and reward, an important way for the flag members to change their status, and a kind of illustrious honor. Most of the honors received by the emperor were specially decreed or discussed by the ministry. Using Yinzuo's means to turn these two girls into flag people is just a gesture, but the problem comes out again: the big wedding hasn't been done yet, and she has two children, no matter how broad Lan Yue'er is, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if she is uncomfortable, the life of the two girls will not be easy, once the housework is about to get up, Yinzuo will not have a good life, not to mention that these two girls will really enter the door, maybe one day they will be exposed by others and the bottom of the identity is another annoyance.
Damn, this matter is stirred, alas, it is a moment of pleasure, and trouble will follow. Yinzuo frowned and paced around the room, and finally decided to raise the two girls into the flag first, and then deal with other things after the wedding.
The marriage can be ignored first, the important thing now is that the folding of the sea must not be messy, Yinzuo put the marriage behind him, and described the matter of the early dynasty to Lin Xuanyi today. After listening to this, Lin Xuanyi pondered for a while and said: "Lord Wang, it is a foregone conclusion that the fold of shipping will pass, but whether it can be caught in the hands of the prince is still undecided, and there is still something to be busy in the future." ”
Yinzuo also understands this truth in his heart, although the excerpt is on his own, but it is not necessarily that the old man will definitely let himself be responsible for this matter, if it is really robbed by other brothers, it will be a big joke, and he discussed with Lin Xuanyi about the possible situation at the moment.
Yinzuo is busy, and the other elder brothers are not idle, and they are all gathering their own people to discuss at this time. The third man is also alive, anyway, he can't compete with Yinzuo, as long as he can get benefits. Although the land monopoly bureau promised by Yinzuo in front of the head is full of oil and water, it is nothing in the whole package, the old three and his gang are looking at a large basket of meat, and they only get a bone, and they are naturally not happy.
Seeing that Yinzuo has gained momentum, the prince Yinren is tired of not mentioning how tired he is, but he doesn't dare to do it against the old man Kangxi, at this time, seeing that the passage of the sea fold has basically become a foregone conclusion, his heart can be lively, and he is full of calculations to pick peaches, no, Yuqing Palace is lively at this time, Suo Etu, Zhu Tianbao, Chen Tianxuan, Ling Pu and a lot of the prince's henchmen are busy.
If the old three and the gang just want to grab a piece of meat, the prince just plans to even serve the pot, except for the reputation left to Yinzuo, the others don't want to let go. A large group of people discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a charter, that is, no matter who the shipping matter falls into, Yinzuo can't be called to go, and the prince himself can't come forward to fight, but he can ask for a map. As a scholar of the Baohe Palace, ranking first among the ministers of the upper study, it is reasonable for Suo Etu to come forward to oversee the shipping, but although Suo Etu is in power for a while, there are many protégés and former officials, but if the prince's family wants to get this messenger, they can't do it, and they have to contact the forces of several other elder brothers, and the big guys are busy, and the courtiers who should contact the courtiers, and those who should communicate with those sub-elder brothers have not pulled down, and for a while, the officialdom in the capital is very lively, and the officials of all sizes jump up and down, communicating with each other, and they are busy writing chapters.
The boss was stupid, but he also prepared a fold, but he recommended it himself, and he didn't care whether the old man would agree, just got off the court, and asked his subordinates to quickly sort out a fold, and the first one was presented, but the old man Kangxi didn't even reply to a word, just asked him to wait.
The old eighty-one guy is also discussing this shipping excerpt, but more of them are discussing Yinzuo's heart. When Lao Jiu Yinyu finished introducing the situation of this morning, Wen Ruihe, who was always the last to speak, was the first to speak: "Sixth Elder Brother is afraid that he is upset." As soon as these words came out, the whole room was dumbfounded, and they all looked at Wen Ruihe dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Lao Shi Yinosmium jumped up angrily: "Damn the sixth, damn it, the big guys played together, and the matter of shipping was messed up for him, and he must not be allowed to go." ”
Lao Jiu shook his fat cheeks, and said gloomily: "I found out that the sixth child is not authentic in front of my head, it's okay now, and I really got up, I want to say that he couldn't be cheaper than the river worker before, the big guy doesn't believe it, hey, this time, ......"
Lao Bayinyu waved his hand to interrupt Lao Jiu's nonsense, thought for a while with a cold face, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It seems that the sixth child is afraid that he really has a heart, alas, Ben Baylor has always been kind to others, and he never expected his brothers to treat each other like this, so let's go and see first." After a pause, he said, "What does Mr. Wen think?" ”
"King Yijun's plan is not small, this person is really a big enemy, but at this moment, Lord Belle is not the only one who has to face King Yijun, don't forget that there is also a master sitting in the palace, if you fight at this moment, there will be no cheaper one." Wen Ruihe said unhurriedly.
"Yes, it's this reason, Ben Belle expects that the master will never stop there, I think there will be twists and turns in the future, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Yin Yu said faintly.
"Thinking about it, the one in the palace can only come out with one trick: launch the Suo Etu to grab the peaches, if Pu Heng is not bad, the one in the palace will soon send someone to come, Belle Ye only needs to accept it first, lead but not send, and when the two of them fight fiercely, Belle Ye may not be able to pick peaches." Wen Ruihe stroked his beard and smiled and said what to do. Just as everyone was applauding, the housekeeper came to report: Chen Tianxuan, a waiter in the East Palace and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, came to visit.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, or then, Ben Belle will meet this messenger. The big guy dodges first. Yinxi said with a smile and asked the housekeeper to welcome people into the study.
Chen Tianxuan, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, Kangxi twenty-seven years of Jinshi and the first, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, a waiter in the East Palace, known as the unparalleled debate, at this time I saw Yinxi, who naturally talked endlessly, what is the prince and the ministers, brothers and friends, not only said that the prince remembered Babel, but also praised Babeile for being diligent in political affairs, the statement was significant, and he had always been relied on by the saints, etc., and then the voice changed, talking about Suo Etu, Suo Daren has a deep understanding of shipping, All in all, it means one thing: asking Yinxi to support Suo Etu to take charge of the general shipping, and he did not forget to make a bunch of empty promises.
What kind of person is Yinxi, that is, he has only become a fine fox, and he plays with a smile and kills people, how can he be deceived by Chen Tianxuan's, but Yinxu didn't open his mouth to object, just listened with a smile, and at the end he patted his chest vigorously to pack the ticket, stating that he would definitely follow the prince's orders Yunyun, but he fooled Chen Tianxuan, who planned to fool people, but what to do Yinxu still do, to put it bluntly, it is just thinking about a Bian Zhuang stabbing tiger.
At this time, all the officials in the capital moved, but only the fourth elder brother Yinzhen Mansion quietly did not make a sound, and the big guys knew that this master had just lost his mission and was unlucky, plus this master had a cold temperament, and no one wanted to come to the door to stick to him. Yin Zhen was also very annoyed in his heart, he lost his mission, but the sixth child is infinitely beautiful, they are all compatriots of the same mother, they are all brothers, how could they have such a different encounter.
Yinzhen, who was in an irritable mood, wandered around the study for a while, couldn't suppress the sullenness in his heart, and simply walked out, without a purpose, just walked around the house, and unconsciously walked to the residence of the people in the outer courtyard. Everyone knows that their grandfather has a big temper recently, and he has hidden out when he saw Yinzhen's figure early, and there was not even a figure in the huge courtyard, but there was a loud sound of reading in a room in the courtyard.
Yin Zhen stopped and listened for a while, but found that this person was reading the Book of Changes, his heart was slightly shocked, and he was curious for a while, and walked towards the room......
