Yinzuo has always had a wish in his heart, that is, to change the history of China in later generations, not to let those historical tragedies have any possibility of staging, and it is impossible to do this without changing the entire social system, of course, Yinzuo does not want the kind of stormy revolution from the bottom, not to mention whether this revolution has any hope of success, just say that once the revolution happens, the whole society will be in chaos, and the dead will go to the sea, and Yinzuo's own status also determines that Yinzuo will not lead a revolution, That didn't meet Yinzuo's practical needs, but then again, Chinese history shows that top-down change didn't work either, even if the emperor himself supported it—the failure of Wang Anshi's reform was the best example. I want to change, but I don't want to cause social turmoil, there is a pair of contradictions, although Yinzuo already has an idea in his heart, but he is not completely sure.

What is the driving force of social change, various schools of thought have always argued, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but in Yinzuo's view, there are no more than two - one is the driving force of the pursuit of profit maximization leads to the development of science and technology, and the other is that the development of science and technology further promotes people to pursue profit maximization. Thousands of years of feudal history and the prevalence of Confucianism in this part of China have led to the entrenchment of China's self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and without external shocks, there would be no other changes in the land of China except for the change of dynasty.

If Yinzuo wants to change and doesn't want to cause too much turmoil, then there are not many paths he can choose, first of all, he must have power, absolute power to ensure the implementation of his plan, and secondly, he must have the power of science and technology. Absolute power is naturally imperial power, only when you ascend to the throne can you have absolute power, as for the power of science and technology, Yinzuo has also made all kinds of efforts over the years, and those laboratories are the key to it. Yinzuo spent a lot of money to plant these scientific seeds, originally did not expect to have a big harvest immediately, he also knew very well that in the existing personnel and social environment, these seeds can grow into a small sapling, which is already a success, but what Yinzuo did not expect is that these seeds quietly bear huge fruits - the steam engine was born.

Others may not know what this means, but Yinzuo understands very well that the birth of the steam engine means that the foundation of the industrial revolution has been laid, although the steam engine is still only a prototype and is still a distance from practical application, but this is already an epoch-making invention. Yinzuo is not clear about the level of science and technology in Europe in the current era, but it is certain that the steam engine in Europe has not been widely used, which can be seen from the fact that the warships and merchant ships of European countries are still in the era of sails.

Yinzuo studied chemical machinery in his previous life, and he was not familiar with the steam engine, which has long been outdated, of course, the principle is clear, and he also sorted out the principles he knew and handed them over to those students who were engaged in research, but can he really make a steam engine, Yinzuo has no bottom in his heart, just with the attitude of trying it out, I really didn't expect those students to really put the steam engine out, this kind of good news really made Yinzuo ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to rush to the location of the laboratory immediately- Shanghai to see what happened. Of course, it's just a matter of thinking about it, Yinzuo can't leave at all at this time, but a heavy reward is inevitable, Yinzuo immediately decided to reward the experimental team that developed the steam engine with 100,000 taels of silver, so that they can continue to improve the steam engine so that it can be put into practice as soon as possible.

On the third day of the fifth month of the 41st year of Kangxi, the good news of Shandong reached the Beijing Division, and the confession of the captives also arrived at the same time. Buxiao said that these rumors were all arranged by Yinzuo, which made "Honghu" fan the flames everywhere, stirring up panic in the people of Beijing.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the 41st year of Kangxi, Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Yi Yinzuo, and Lianjun Wang Yinxi jointly signed a book, and asked for the reorganization of the water division to clear the Japanese and conquer the Japanese state. After receiving the transcript, the old man Kangxi ordered the early court to agree on the matter of the sailor on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and ordered the civil and military officials to go to the court to discuss the matter.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the 41st year of Kangxi, at the beginning of the early dynasty, Yinzuo took the lead in the ranks, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Emperor Ama, the sons have a book to play: there are repeated Japanese criminals who have repeatedly violated my court Tianwei, picking provocations and making trouble, and looting is not calculated, and it has now been verified that the disaster of the Japanese invaders began in the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Japanese country, if it is not punished, I am afraid that it will lose the dignity of my last dynasty. ”

As soon as Yinzuo's voice fell, the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu immediately came out and said: "Huang Ama, the son thinks that the fourth brother's words are reasonable, such evil neighbors have repeatedly violated my heavenly might, how can I show the prestige of the court if I am not punished, and the son is willing to lead a brigade to destroy this dynasty, please ask the emperor Ama En's permission." ”

The old fourteen years are only sixteen, Su likes military affairs, and has always been favored by the old man Kangxi, at this time, seeing the resolute look of the old fourteen, the old man Kangxi laughed and said: "You are afraid that it is not good, I am very relieved, but the major affairs of the country of the soldiers, you must not be careful, what advice do you have?" ”

Miao Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "The saint, the minister has the book to start the saint: now that the peace is today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is probably inappropriate to use the sword and soldiers in vain. ”

Alas, this old antique jumped out to make a lot of fun, and he was not too tired to panic! Yinzuo is really not interested in the old master Miao, this old man can be called a loyal disciple of Confucianism, conservative and pedantic enough, partial and likes to speak in the main hall, and every time he is against Yinzuo, which makes Yinzuo very annoyed, but he can't help it, after all, this old man is Yinzuo's master.

Old man Kangxi asked with a smile: "What does Miao Aiqing mean, what should this matter do?" ”

"The minister thought that he should send an envoy to the Japanese country to ask the truth before deciding the action." Miao Tong replied respectfully.

Hey, this old master Miao is really stupid and cute, send someone to ask, ask a fart, wait for you to send someone to ask, the daylily is cold. Although Yin Zuo hated in his heart, it was not good to refute Miao Tong in court, after all, he still had to talk about respecting the teacher, in desperation, he lowered his head slightly, and sent a signal, Liu Siyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who had already understood it, stood up and said: "Qi Yu Shengshang, Wei Chen does not agree with the words of the false Shangshu, the Japanese are cunning and cruel, and they have been ravaging my heavenly kingdom for a long time. ”

Yu Chenglong, the new director of the General Administration of Customs, was afraid that he was the most worried about the rebellion of the Japanese among the ministers, and he hurriedly came out at this time and said: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that Lord Liu's words are reasonable, and now the customs has reached the scale of 30 million taels of income. ”

Although the third and eighth are also joint actors, they will naturally not stand up against this fold, but they will not jump out to shout for Yinzuo, and keeping silent is naturally the best choice, and the two of them have already received the message from their masters, and they are also silently watching, as for Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other old and serious ministers in the upper study will not easily express their stance before figuring out the holy will, at this time the limelight of the hall is obviously in favor of Yinzuo. Although Yinzhen didn't plan to really compete with Yinzuo on the water master's fold, but it was still necessary to add some trouble to Yinzuo, and he also stood up at this moment and said: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that although the words of the sixth brother are reasonable, but now it is necessary to reorganize the water division according to the fold of the sixth brother, a total of nearly 60 million silver, although the treasury is a little rich at this time, but it is impossible to bear this burden, and I hope that the emperor Ama will see it." ”

Damn, little sample, I knew you were going to do this, hey, let's guard against you. Yinzuo then spoke: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that although what the fourth brother said is true, but the navy division can not be reorganized in a year, and now my Qing Dynasty Outer Sea Division is divided into four divisions - Guangdong, Fujian, Liangjiang, and Shandong, if all ships are replaced at the same time, the silver required is huge and the supply of ships and sailors cannot be guaranteed. Erchen suggested that it could be divided into three steps: the first step was to build an army to observe the after-effects, and the silver required was not more than 10 million. The second step is to test the effectiveness of the newly built army in actual combat. In the third step, if it is feasible after the formation of the army, the remaining three departments will be redressed in turn, and the officers of the already formed departments will be transferred from the original army to supplement the remaining departments. The overall plan will be completed in four years, and the annual investment is not more than 10,000 taels, which is not an exaggeration. Yinzuo paused for a moment and said: "Emperor Ama Mingjian, Erchen is relying on shipping to make some money, if the widows are not removed, there is no peace in shipping, Erchen is willing to donate five million taels of silver to the military, in addition, Erchen Baozhuo 14th brother presided over the reorganization of the sailors, in order to revitalize our country's prestige." ”

The old man Kangxi had long known that Yinzuo's family was rich and had a lot of money, but he was not very surprised to hear that Yinzuo voluntarily donated five million taels of silver, thought about it for a while, looked at Ma Qi and other ministers of the study and said, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Ma Qi is an old household department, the account is calculated very quickly, deducting the five million taels donated by Yinzuo, the entire first installment only needs five million taels of silver, if it can really become an army, but it is also a good thing, at least it can keep the shipping income, the money is worth it, and the calculation is certain, bowing down and saying: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks it is feasible." ”

Zhang Tingyu and others are also fine people, at this time they have already seen that the old man Kangxi is moved, and naturally he will not object, and they agree with Yinzuo's suggestion, and the old man Kangxi saw that the ministers had no objection, so he issued an edict to allow Yinzuo to play, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu was responsible for the reconstruction of the water division, and the second phase of Yinzuo's thunder plan has been launched since then.
