Chapter 138 I'm busy, so you guys should stay busy too
The Eighth Prince was immediately moved and expressed his trust in the deployment of Khan Ama and his second brother, the Crown Prince.
There is no shortage.
"Just the sound of gunfire costs a fortune. From ancient times to the present, war has always been the most expensive thing. And from what my eighteenth brother said, there are eight coalition forces, that is, eight countries. The cost is naturally many times more."
Seeing Kangxi's gloomy face, the Eighth Prince quickly knelt down and said that he had no intention of failing to eliminate the danger for the younger generation and to avenge his old father.
I just think that we should first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies.
We have caught the rat in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the debts owed to the national treasury are being repaid, and the Eight Banners are being reorganized.
The results of drug control and anti-smuggling are remarkable. The Maritime Affairs Office is being prepared, the navy is also being organized, and the officialdom in Jiangnan is about to be thoroughly investigated by Lao Shi.
The results are nothing short of remarkable.
But it is still some distance away from being one against eight.
This……
Although Kangxi was reluctant, he had to admit it, so he just asked with a dark face: "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing." The Eighth Prince smiled. "My son just thinks that equalizing the land tax, making officials and gentry pay taxes together, returning the fire consumption to the public, and changing the land ownership to officials are all good ideas. They can strengthen the court's control over the local governments, the people, and officials from a political or economic perspective."
"Of course they can and should be done one after another. I just don't know who you are going to assign to do this important task?"
I'm busy with the main task, so you guys should also not sit idle.
If this had been mentioned before the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi would have been furious and would have scolded the proposer harshly: A good policy cannot avoid the fact that after its implementation you will be criticized by the gentry!
cough cough.
Before hearing Yinzhen's voice, Emperor Kangxi was determined to be the most benevolent emperor in history.
Even silver from the national treasury could be lent to court officials.
He was also very good at turning a blind eye to illegal and disorderly activities, especially those committed by Manchu officials.
Now?
The old man was convinced that the Japanese were the bandits who had blown up his imperial tomb in history, and he was filled with hatred.
Who cares about reputation or not?
I just wonder who should take the lead and do these things.
The fourth child is the best candidate, but the matter in the south is also very important. The children have already been taken care of for half of the time, so it would be a bad idea to call them back at the last minute, right?
The prince, who knew his concerns, knelt down slowly and said, "Since last year, my elder brother and younger brothers have been serving the court in their own ways. As the crown prince, I am not very good at anything. Now it is my turn to share Khan Ama's worries."
"If you don't give up, leave this matter to your son."
Ah this...
Kangxi hesitated, not because he did not believe in the prince's ability.
Just these things, although beneficial to the country and the people, will to a great extent infringe upon the interests of the gentry, and will inevitably lead to those who carry them out being criticized.
Didn’t Xiao Shiba say what he was thinking?
Because of these policies and the deliberate smearing by Lao Ba and others, Yongzheng's reputation in history is darker than the colorful black.
It was only after the broadcast of "The Yongzheng Reign" that he was gradually whitewashed, and even made a strong comeback to become the most famous and praised among the Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
If the emperor is like this, what about the prince?
The prince expressed no fear about this, but Kangxi was reluctant to do so.
Just for the reason of not arousing Yinxu's suspicion, he suggested to wait a little longer. When Yinxu's "all-powerful" fourth brother offered a good plan, he, as the emperor's father, would be happy to follow it.
It won’t be too late to discuss who will be responsible for this matter then.
The prince wanted to say something else, but Kangxi had already changed the subject and continued to give earnest instructions to the eighth prince.
Yinzhen had no idea that his words in his mind had created an unprecedented atmosphere of tension and hatred for his father Kangxi and his brothers.
After he arrived at the destination, he began to praise Huang Luzhuang endlessly.
Who would have thought?
In addition to the simple version of the bicycle, other inventions Mr. Huang had, such as the thermometer, hygrometer, searchlight, telescope, microscope, etc., are all real!
Oriental Edison is made of genuine materials without any adulteration.
It is a pity that he was born during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when eight-legged essay was highly valued, those in power were ethnic minorities and were wary of the Han people.
Otherwise, wouldn't Edison be hailed as the Huang Luzhuang of the West?
Just thinking about it made the Eighteenth Prince sigh.
Fortunately, the fourth brother had a keen eye and specially discovered and recommended such a great talent, and he also made a fuss to get him. This time, he must let Mr. Huang shine with all his glory.
Huang Luzhuang blushed slightly at the praise and waved his hands repeatedly: "My Lord, you are too kind. I am just obsessed with this and have studied it a little. Even though I have some experience, I am far less intelligent than you. Just a few words can help me solve the mystery in my heart..."
As a result, he benefited a lot from it and praised it sincerely.
He would have even wanted to accept Yinxuan as his apprentice if the difference in their status wasn't so huge.
How could Yinzhen, who knew his own business, dare to admit it?
Thank you for the compliment, sir. I still have a long way to go and need to work harder.
Not surprisingly, Huang Luzhuang discovered his good quality of humility.
He was even more grateful to the Fourth Prince for recommending him, which not only gave him a better research environment, but also gave him the opportunity to follow such a great Eighteenth Prince.
Little did he know that the good brother in his heart was telling lies all the time and secretly put the blame on him so many times!
For example, after returning to the prince's residence, he directed the cooks in the small kitchen around and finally made canned fruit.
When he heard that the mynah bird was meeting the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, he hurried there to offer treasures.
The small talk was so beautiful that the Eighth Prince was moved to tears: "I am so grateful to you, Eighteenth Brother, for going out of the palace to find Mr. Huang and getting this binocular telescope for me. You also went to the glass factory and the small kitchen to make these canned fruits..."
Yinzhen laughed and said that it was only natural for him to do so since he was his own brother.
Then he began to give him numerous warnings, telling him not to underestimate this small can of fruit.
Don't neglect the supply of vegetables, fruits, etc., to prevent sepsis from knocking on your door.
Seeing that he seemed a little disapproving, Yinxuan put on a stern face and carefully explained the symptoms of sepsis and its possible serious consequences.
Now not only the Eighth Prince, but even Kangxi and the other princes became serious.
They all told Yinsi to remember the lesson and not to slack off. Kangxi also wrote a letter to the fourteenth son, who was training the navy in the south.
Before I finished writing, I heard the Eighth Prince chuckle, "Okay, okay, you little housekeeper, I will listen to you in everything, okay?"
"However, how do you know this, even these imperial doctors may not know it?"
Yin Xuan was dumbfounded: [What should I do? I really want to tell him not to ask questions that shouldn’t be asked, and just listen to what I’m saying! But…wouldn’t Khan Ama and his brothers be curious about something so unreasonable?]
