Chapter 1481 trouble
Kant was very angry. Before Maqi reported that he still smiled. In his opinion, his reform was implemented very smoothly. The construction corps built by the Ming Dynasty were booming, and the land was being renovated and farmed everywhere was in full swing.
All this made Kant feel very good. He was already looking forward to the harvest of autumn harvest soon. By then, most of the problems of food and grass in the Western Regions could be solved, and the Qing Dynasty no longer needed to continue to exploit the ethnic groups in the Western Regions to alleviate local conflicts in the Western Regions.
But Kant never expected that everything he thought would now become a huge joke. The so-called land reclamation and farming, including the construction corps imitating the Ming Dynasty, worked for several months, not only achieved nothing, but even provoked local rebellions.
This result was something Kant could not accept, and it made him extremely angry.
If it were the report sent by others, Kant might have suspected that the other party's report was true or false, but this report was sent by Ma Qi. Kant was very familiar with the handwriting on it, and it was written by Ma Qi.
As an old minister of all dynasties, Maqi never doubted his loyalty. Although Maqi was not capable enough, Kant even trusted Maqi more than Longkodo in this regard. Since Maqi said that, the content in the report was absolutely true. In this way, Kant only felt a burning sound on his face, as if he was slapped hard.
Kant, who was extremely angry, immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. Not only did he throw Ma Qi's customs declaration directly into the faces of several important officials, but he even angrily scolded him for asking what was going on.
Several big shots were unable to answer, which made Kant even more angry. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and gave himself an explanation.
"Brother Jiu, why is it so difficult to do something?" After the others left, Kant deliberately kept Prince Chun. Kant, who was sitting in the head, didn't speak for a long time, and said this after a long time.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much. Where can there be any change go smoothly? It's not a bad thing to do, it's just that the problem will be solved early." Prince Chun comforted.
Kant shook his head and sighed, "I took this for granted. I only care about the east side, but I never thought about our own virtues."
"The emperor is busy with all his affairs every day, and he always grasps the whole thing, but how can he take care of everything? These are originally things that slaves are not good at doing things and are not careful in their considerations. This is why he made a big mistake. The slave asked the emperor to deal with it..." Prince Chun stood up and knelt down at Kant, kowtowing and demanding treatment.
"Brother Jiu, what do you say have to do with Brother Jiu? Get up, get up quickly!" Kant hurriedly helped Prince Chun, who was kneeling on the ground, comforting him with kind words.
Indeed, this matter has little to do with Prince Chun, and even Prince Guo has nothing to do with it. Kant left it to others to imitate the Ming Dynasty's construction corps and open up wasteland and farming. As for Prince Chun and Prince Guo, they are mainly responsible for military reform, firearms, and business aspects.
To put it bluntly, Prince Chun and Prince Guo helped Kant control the gun and the wallet. These two are extremely important, especially the former. In addition to Prince Chun and Prince Guo, even Longkodo and others cannot fully trust Kant. Only these two princes can rest assured.
When Prince Chun stood up, he showed shame on his face and still blamed himself.
Prince Chun had thought about the fact that Manchus could not farm, so why didn’t he notice this when Kant was implementing it?
If I had noticed this earlier, I wouldn’t have been unable to do this. Now, it’s better to have a big joke to open up wastelands and farmland. Not only did it fail to successfully build it, it also destroyed a lot of pastures, but it also led to the rebellion of all ethnic groups in the local area?
Spring plowing, this kind of crop cannot be planted at any time, and it cannot grow even after the season. Kant and Prince Chun do not understand this common sense.
But now that I have been delaying for so long, not only did I achieve nothing but also delayed the farming season. In other words, the important part of Kant's reform has been considered a failure, which gave Kant a lot of pressure.
"Your Majesty, let the rest be let go of the moment. The key points must be stable. This chaos must be suppressed first." Prince Chun suggested.
Kant nodded slightly, and Prince Chun's words came to Kant's heart. Prince Chun said it well. It was a failure to open up wasteland and farmland, but the chaos still had to be suppressed, which was the most critical thing.
If the local chaos is left, Kant's reform will not be able to do anything else, so local rebellions must be suppressed as soon as possible.
It is not difficult to suppress the rebellion. It is not easy to farm people, and the killing is still a bit standard. Moreover, the Western Regions had already killed a group of people before Prince Guo. Now, even if the remaining people of all races are in chaos, they are not opponents of the Qing army.
But the problem is that it is impossible to kill all people. If the land is opened and farmed, then these people will be killed. But now the so-called construction corps has become a joke, and the autumn harvest has been lost. Even some of the harvests are still a loss compared to huge investment.
In this case, where did the money and food of the Qing Dynasty come from? Without food, they can only rely on the cattle and sheep raised by these ethnic groups to continue to live. But if all the people are killed, who will raise these cattle and sheep? Could it be that the food will not be done after eating? Kant is not a fool, so he certainly understands the principle of fishing with thirst.
"Your Majesty, I'll go there." Just when Kant was upset about this, Prince Chun stood up and was willing to do this for the emperor.
Compared to Prince Guo, Prince Chun is more suitable for doing this. Moreover, he is not only Kant's iron core, but also the prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his status and identity are enough.
Although Ma Qi's status is not low, he is still a little worse than Prince Chun. Besides, Ma Qi is okay to do some ordinary political affairs, but he is not as good as Prince Chun when it comes to using a knife.
But compared to Prince Chun, Prince Guo is a real killer, but what Kant wants now is not to kill all these people of all races, but to suppress and clean up the mess. From this point of view, Prince Chun is the most suitable candidate.
Kant hesitated for a moment and agreed to Prince Chun's request, asking him to meet with Ma Qi as soon as possible, and gave him the right to command the Eight Banners' military farming troops.
After Prince Chun received the order and left in a hurry, Kant sighed. The failure of clearing the land and farming not only made him angry, but also made him feel deeply powerless. After the Qing Dynasty lost the Central Plains, many of the previously hidden problems of the Qing Dynasty were constantly exposed, which Kant had never thought about before.
Sitting quietly in the chair, Kant frowned and thought, the problem of clearing land and farming was exposed, so are there problems with other seemingly progressing changes? If so, Kant was really worried. Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out with big strides.
