Chapter 172: National Policy (I)

Reform? Very good, very powerful slogan, but this time China is not a certain period of time that is backward and poor in an all-round way, although the current science and technology, ideology is a little outdated, but the comprehensive economic strength is one of the most powerful countries in the world today, not to mention the number of population is also the world's first, at this time China does not need the so-called introduction of foreign capital at all, what needs to be introduced is technology and some useful ideas.

The purpose of introducing ideas is to cultivate the marine awareness of the whole people and create the soil for scientific and technological progress, as for those so-called democracy, equality and even God and the like in Yinzuo's view, they are not needed at all, at least not in the current China - China is different from European countries, although the imperial dynasty has changed for thousands of years, civil strife has not stopped, but it has always been a highly centralized country, the people have become accustomed to the existence of an emperor, plus Confucianism is extremely powerful, It is impossible to achieve Western-style democracy on the land of China, and even the later generations from which Yinzuo came did not achieve democracy in the true sense.

Democracy and centralization are actually a pair of contradictory complexes, not to mention that the system is more superior, the key is to look at the soil of the political system - the ideological realm of the people, in this era of China to play democracy is no different from suicide, Yinzuo is very clear about this, the existing political system is unreasonable, at least not suitable for the development of science and technology, this Yinzuo also knows that change is needed, the key is how to change, what to become.

No change is not enough to catch up with the development trend of the world, this is true, but the problem is that Yinzuo can't make major changes at this time, not to mention that the most disgusting thing in the life of the old man Kangxi is Wang Anshi and his people, and the most afraid is to lose the throne of power, and suppress all ideas that hinder the current rule extremely harshly - the literary prison is one of the manifestations, with Yinzuo's current status, if he really puts forward the slogan of change, I am afraid that if he mentions it today, he will get a report from the Zongren Mansion early in the morning; Even if Yinzuo really ascends to the throne, it doesn't mean that the change can be done immediately, the important ministers in the court are all Confucian children, not to mention the pressure of those Manchu magnates, one accidentally ascended the throne today, and tomorrow he will be knocked out of power - the Eight Iron Hat Kings are not a joke.

Doing nothing, watching the Chinese nation weaken is not something that Yinzuo can accept, in fact, Yinzuo has done a lot of work, made great efforts, and played a lot of sidekicks. At this point today, in terms of Yinzuo's status, there is not much that can be done, and the national policy of how to deal with the world powers is one of them. If you are backward, you will be beaten, this is the iron law of survival, by closing the country, the ostrich policy of not seeing is not working at all, Yinzuo came from the previous life is a good proof of this, but the country can be opened wide, and it is not possible to let the powers enter and exit freely, there are not only ideological conflicts that are easy to cause controversy between the government and the opposition, but also national security considerations.

When it comes to national security, we have to mention the military strength of the Qing Dynasty in this era, not to mention the sailors, those small broken ships can not be used at all except to scare a small group of pirates. As for the army, although it is far behind in individual firearms, there is not much gap in artillery, if the new artillery designed by Yinzuo is put into use, its advanced nature is far beyond that of the world powers - the old man Kangxi does not like the innovation of firearms, but he only has a soft spot for the innovation of artillery. The root of it can probably be traced back to the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi, since the Qing Dynasty Taizu died under the Ming army's red-clothed cannon, every emperor of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the study of artillery, to Kangxi ascended the throne is more important to the study of artillery, has developed the "cupola cannon", "alphabet shell" and other more advanced artillery in the world at that time, although there are the rebellion of the three feudatories, the platform, the practical needs of Pingerdan, but the Kangxi old man's concern for artillery research is undoubted, The new artillery that Yinzuo asked Liu Siyuan to submit in the name of the Ministry of Industry has begun to enter the trial production stage, but it will take some years to equip it to the troops.

In general, at this time, the military strength of the Qing Dynasty was more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, and there was no problem in defending the mainland, but if you want to dominate the ocean, it is impossible to stand at the pinnacle of the world. Hold is not keep, history has long proved this, in this era of the jungle, only aggressive is the way to win, only go abroad to have the opportunity to dominate the world, go out Yinzuo has been initially done, now the question is how to go steady, but also not to let the forces of the world powers into China, at least before Yinzuo did not take the position, can not let those liberal trends of thought sweep through China, there is a degree of problem here.

Sent away the two British envoys, Yinzuo has been sitting alone in the pavilion in the back garden silently pondering, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, thinking about the way to deal with it - the British envoys are sent away, but the next envoys to China are very many, it is impossible not to sort out a regulation, this matter is a national policy must not be neglected, the two major strategists are not good at this, Yinzuo does not even have a person to discuss, this thinking was thought until dark, until the girls came to urge the meal, it was considered to have a little eyebrows, I drew up an excerpt in my heart, and planned to go to court the next morning, and invite Mr. Kangxi to play in court.

After having dinner in Lan Yue'er's room, Yinzuo checked the homework of the promotion again, explained a few words, hurriedly walked to the study, wrote the excerpt first, and sent someone to invite Wu and Lin to come to the discussion, handed the excerpt to the two advisers and asked, "What do the two gentlemen think?" ”

"The excerpt itself should be feasible, but if it is proposed by the prince alone, it is a little inappropriate, the prince has never been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no reason to put this book on the ground, I am afraid that it will be called for discussion." Lin Xuanyi finished reading the excerpt and did not put forward any opinion on the excerpt itself, after all, he was not familiar with this way, let alone Lin Xuanyi, looking at the entire government and the opposition at this time, no one could see the importance of Yinzuo's fold.

Discussion? Damn, there is really such a possibility, that gang of old winters baked last time after the old man reprimanded the prince, he didn't dare to launch an appeal for the ban on the sea again, but it is difficult to guarantee that we will not jump out and attack when we go to the fold this time, even if we engage in some gossip in private, it is enough for us to drink a pot, this thing is not good, but no matter how difficult it is, is it possible that we have to watch the future history to be staged again when we come to this era? Yinzuo gritted his teeth and said: "This king also knows that if this fold is on, there will inevitably be villains, but this king's will has been decided, and this fold must be made." ”

"Lord Wang, if you really want to go on this fold, why don't you let the third master come forward?" Wu Sidao said quietly.

Third? Well, this goods have been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and it is responsible for this piece of ushering in the matter of sending it, although there is no errand with himself at the moment, but after all, most of the people in the Ministry of Rites are his people, and it is not impossible for him to come forward, but if he sends the fold up, he may not be the first bird to be the third child, and this thing has to be thought about for a while. Yinzuo was sure and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu's words are reasonable, but how to get the third child to come forward has to be pondered." ”

"This matter is easy to hear, the prince only needs to be like this...... That's it. Wu Sidao smiled lightly.

"Yes, this king will arrange one or two." Yin Zuo nodded with a smile.

Today's early dynasty is not a big deal, the court affairs are discussed, the Inspectorate impeached a few petty officials, the old man Kangxi allowed to play, seeing that it was fine, and was about to get up and retreat from the court, Yinzuo stood up, knelt down and said: "Huang Ama, the sons have something to play: the ancients said: There are friends from afar, not also happy, my Qing Dynasty is a dignified heavenly kingdom, since I should have the bearing of the kingdom, now the envoy of England in Europa has been in Beijing for a few months, that is, not to call away, and ignore but it will inevitably lose the dignity of my kingdom, Erchen thought that this matter needed to be cautious, and Erchen asked Huang Ama to instruct the Ministry of Rites to make a quick decision for Huang Ama to make a holy judgment. ”

"Huh?" The old man Kangxi snorted quietly: "Miao Tong." ”

As soon as Miao Tong heard Yinzuo mention this matter and was thinking about countermeasures, he heard the call of the old man Kangxi and hurriedly said, "The minister is here." ”

"Miao Aiqing, this matter has been delayed for a long time, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how should you explain it?" The old man asked lightly.

"The minister thinks that the small country of Sumeru is not enough to worry about, and he is not willing to follow the etiquette of my court, but his country must be barbaric, and the minister suggests that the envoy of that country be expelled from the country to show his example." Miao Tong replied with a righteous face.

"Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that Miao Shangshu is Miao, my Qing Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can I do such a rude thing, Erchen thinks that this matter must be cautious, the third elder brother has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and he is a famous humble gentleman in my dynasty, and Erchen proposes that this matter be handed over to the third elder brother to deal with." Yinzuo took out the third Yinzhi seriously.

The old man Kangxi nodded and opened Chrysostom: "Quasi-play." Yinzhi. ”

The third child was a little confused, he didn't know what Yinzuo's intention was to push him out, and he was guessing in his heart, when he suddenly heard the call of the old man, he hurriedly came out of the queue, knelt down and said, "The son is here." ”

The old man Kangxi glanced at Yinzhi and said: "You have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so I will leave this matter to you, and submit the resolution in front of the court next time." ”

Most of the people in the Ministry of Rites are Yinzhi's people, he knows this matter very well, and he also knows where the joints are, but he doesn't understand why Yinzuo pushed him out, and he doesn't know what traps are behind him, and he can't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, but the old man has already opened his mouth, and it will not be possible if he doesn't answer, so he can only bow his head and say yes.
