Chapter 193: One wave of unresolved waves
Chapter 193 One wave has not yet settled and one wave has risen again
Among the many sons of Mr. Kangxi, if it is just about his demeanor, the eighth prince Yinsi's kindness is unmatched by other princes. In Yinzuo's words, that guy can play a young actor without makeup on stage. If he is in the future, he will definitely work as an idol, and his acting skills are outstanding. Maybe he can really take back the Oscar-respectful little golden man. It was Yinzuo's expectation that he jumped out. Although he was frustrated, he had no choice but to do so. He was a prince after all, and although he had no job, he would have to submit a memorial. It was not true?
Prince Lian, Yinsi, stepped out of the line in a casual manner, knelt beside Yinzuo, and looked at the old man Kangxi with a divine eyes and said, "Emperor Ama, I think what the Sixth Brother said is very true. With the talent of Master Shi, I will definitely be able to get peace for the Emperor Amamu. This is the blessing of the court and the blessing of the people. However, in this way, the director of the General Administration of Customs came out. I think the customs is the foundation of the imperial taxation and is actually a valuable tool of the imperial court. I have to have a talented official to take charge of the overall situation. My ministers guarantee that Dai Ze, the vassal of Zhili, took up this position. Dai Ze was the official to be honest and honest, and was the only candidate to take this position."
Damn, Lao Ba, you are cruel, you actually played this trick. Let's take a look. When Yinzuo heard Lao Ba's words, he knew that this kid had bad intentions - Dai Ze, whose courtesy name was Xiangling, was born into a filial and honest person. He was originally a famous scholar in Jiangnan, but he was not in the imperial examinations for many years. However, he was still a little literary in his heart. In his early years, he was admitted to the county magistrate and then served as the governor of Tianjin Wei. He was entrusted to the Zhili vassal state. Although it was because of Yinzhen's vigorous promotion, he was also a good official and had good political achievements. He could be regarded as a clean official. Although it was a bit reluctant to serve as the director of the General Administration of Customs, it was not considered a promotion beyond the level. Lao Ba proposed to let Lao Si's subordinate take over the position of Director of the General Administration of Customs at this time, but it was not a move to show kindness to Lao Si, but deliberately provoking a dispute between Yinzuo and Lao Si in the court, which was to disrupt the chess game.
Even though he knew that the eighth brother had a sinister intention, Yinzuo still had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump in. Although the anger in his heart was leaping, he still smiled brightly because of his good acting skills: "Report to Emperor Ah, I think that although the eighth brother's words are reasonable, the position of customs is definitely not something that can be honest and self-controlled. He also needs to have the talent of Jingwei, otherwise there will be chaos. The one who recommends the governor of Zhili Yu Chenglong to take this position." Yinzuo originally planned to launch Fan Shijie, who was closer to him, to take this position, but it was not possible to be disturbed by the eighth brother. Although Fan Shijie is not a disciple of Yinzuo, he is Yinzuo's old subordinate. He introduced Fan Shijie to compete with the fourth brother's subordinate, and said that no one could believe it. At this time, Yinzuo felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
Yinzhen was also a awake person, so he naturally saw the eighth son's intentions. However, the matter involved his own disciples. He would not be able to come forward. Seeing that the old man Kangxi looked over, Yinzhen looked out calmly, knelt on the left side of Yinzuo, and said calmly: "Report to Emperor Ama, I think the words of the two younger brothers are reasonable. Yu Chenglong is very serious and has outstanding political achievements. He was not wrong to serve as the director of the General Administration of Customs. However, now the customs lijin is the biggest source of tax income for the court. You must be careful. If you still hang it under the name of the Ministry of Works, it seems that something is wrong. I hope Emperor Ama will observe it."
Hey, the fourth brother's fox tail was finally revealed. Damn, this guy has made a lot of progress recently. He has been much smarter than before. He easily resolved the eighth brother's vicious instigation. If I don't know his background, maybe I will be cheated by this guy and help count the money. Yinzuo became alert in his heart, and for the first time he put the fourth brother to the same position as him.
Mr. Kangxi did not express his opinion immediately, but just smiled. He saw that the three brothers were confused and did not pay attention to the three brothers. He turned his head and looked at Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, who were among the top two civil servants, and asked with a smile: "Ma Qi, you are the old Ministry of Revenue. In your opinion, how should the General Administration of Customs handle the matter?"
Since Ma Qi took office as the Minister of Revenue in the 27th year of Kangxi, he has been a senior official in the court for many years. He is very clear about the relationship between Yinzuo's three brothers. He originally did not intend to speak, but the old man named him. He didn't say it, but he was really not able to do it. He just offends everything he said, and there was no intermediate route at all. Although Ma Qi never participated in the struggle of the princes, in terms of feelings, he was still relatively biased towards Yinzuo, and it was not because of "cheap father-in-law". However, among the princes, Yinzuo had many dealings with him. It has been thirteen years since the 27th year of Kangxi. Yinzuo's talent was also valued by Ma Qi, but only from Chang.
In theory, Yinzhen's words were very fair - the Ministry of Works was in charge of construction, and this financial management should have been under the management of the Ministry of Revenue. But if you really want to merge the customs into the Ministry of Revenue, it would have offended Yinzuo. Yinzuo's revenge was so cruel that Ma Qi had seen many times, and he didn't want to experience the taste in person. At this time, he was forced to the corner of the wall by Mr. Kangxi. Comrade Ma was wise in a hurry and bowed and said, "Sage, I think Prince Yong's words are reasonable, but according to my opinion, the General Administration of Customs is really important. If it is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, it seems that it is a little bit less important. If it can be operated independently, it seems better. In my foolish opinion, please make the emperor clear."
Regarding Ma Qi's words, Yinzuo and Yinzhen all seemed to be indifferent. The two brothers' thoughts were generally the same - I can't get them, and I must not let others go. The eighth brother Yinsi was a little disappointed. He originally planned to make the hope of the fourth brother and sixth brother in court duel failed, but this guy has good acting skills. Although he scolded Ma Qi for being sloppy in his heart, his smile was still very bright.
Mr. Kangxi said softly, then looked at Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu had been thinking about it for a long time in his mind, and had an answer at this time. When he saw Mr. Kangxi's eyes looked over, he immediately replied: "I think Mr. Ma's words are reasonable. According to customs, the position of the General Administration of Customs is the title of Minister of Works. If it is independent now, it seems inappropriate to take charge of the customs with the title of Minister of the Secretariat. I suggest that the Director of the General Administration of Customs no longer holds the title of any department, so he will set up a position as a first-rank, and be ranked alongside the six departments to form a customs. In this foolish opinion, please ask the emperor to make arbitrary decision."
Zhang Tingyu's words were indeed a matter of old and conspiring to the country, and no one could say anything. Mr. Kangxi praised the words and said, "I passed the imperial edict to approve Zhang Tingyu to transfer to Zhili Governor Yu Chenglong as the General Administration of Customs. His position as Zhili Governor was proposed to be filled by the Ministry of Personnel to make up for the vacancy, and Shi Shilun was transferred to Yunnan Governor."
Although this result was expected, Yinzuo was still a little unhappy. Although the old man asked this and that, he looked like he was good at following the flow of good deeds. In fact, the old man was just the old man's own intention at all. Fortunately, the old man was not so biased that he transferred the customs to Yinzhen, which made Yinzuo breathe a sigh of relief. However, seeing that the General Administration of Customs, which he had been through a lot of hardships, was gone so easily, and being unhappy was inevitable.
Today, I only discussed one thing about the General Administration of Customs since I went to court, but this matter has been tossing for a long time. Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone was exhausted. Old Master Kangxi was about to get up and leave the court. Prince Yong, Yinzuo, suddenly said, "Report to Emperor, I have a copy of the memorial." After saying that, he took out a copy of the memorial from his sleeve and raised it high above his head. Old Master Kangxi was stunned for a moment before signaling Qin Wuyong, the eunuch standing beside him, to go down and take the copy of the memorial.
Mr. Kangxi took the memorial handed over by Qin Wuyong, looked carefully, frowned, looked at Yinzhen with some doubts, and said to Qin Wuyong, "Xuan!" Qin Wuyong quickly responded, picked up the memorial on the dragon table, and read it loudly: "My minister Yinzhen has a memorial to Your Majesty: Since Emperor Taizong's surrender, land annexation has become increasingly serious, refugees have increased, so that the amount of quotas is not fixed, and the silver is difficult to collect. Some troublemakers even put the land acres in the name of officials. The trend of tax evasion is growing. The sage said: Don't worry about the lack of money but the unevenness. If it is not suppressed, the wind will be worse and the time will be delayed, and the people will change. This is a great trouble. My son is not talented and is willing to offer two methods to cure the trouble. One said: Spread the quotas into the acres, and the second is to pay food together for officials and gentry...."
The ministers did not expect that when the court was about to disperse, such a bomb was smashed. When they heard the detailed implementation plan of Yinzhen's memorial, they were stunned. They whispered loudly for a while. This matter was related to the vital interests of everyone. No one of those who had a wealthy wealth would agree to this. It was just that it was really difficult to find a reason for opposition in a short time. Even if everyone was talking about it, they could not find one way to oppose it.
It was only after Yinsi realized that the fourth brother agreed to join forces with him so readily. For a moment, his face, which was originally smiling brightly, froze, and he wanted to kick Yinzhen to death, but the old man was still watching. Even if he was angry, he would not dare to do something rude to Qian Qian. He frowned and thought of a countermeasure. But at this moment, he was in a mess. How could he come up with a name for himself? He had to worry and secretly looked at Yinzuo who was standing beside him, but found that there was no expression on Yinzuo's face. He wanted to arouse Yinzuo, but he didn't know where to start. In the winter, a layer of sweat appeared on Yinsi's forehead.
Others don’t know Yinzhen’s intentions, but Yinzuo was very clear in his heart. He had known that Yinzhen would take this opportunity to propose this two-fold statement. Speaking of these twofold statements, Yinzuo was very clear, and there was no need to listen carefully. In this era, these twofold statements were all good recipes and the only way to reduce the burden on peasants. Although China’s economy has developed in this era, it is still the main purpose of small peasant economy. In this era, it is about communism. Capitalist democracy is purely a fantasy that is divorced from reality. It is just a novelist’s word. Not to mention anything else, Confucianism for thousands of years can be broken without the impact of external ideas? It is impossible at all! If you want a country to be stable, the primary goal is to ensure the stability of imperial power. Yinzuo was very clear about this. He never thought about anything like communist revolution in this era.
Hey, little girl, I told you to make trouble again. This time, you were betrayed by the fourth brother. It's interesting. Just taste the pain slowly. Just watch the fun. Yinzuo had already seen Yinsi's embarrassment. Yinzuo pretended not to see Yinsi's help look, and he was happy in his heart, intending to see how the eighth brother turned against the fourth brother.
The memorial was not too long. Although Qin Wuyong did not read it quickly, he finished reading it in just a few minutes. Everyone whispered and discussed it, but no one stood up to object. He was unpredictable and could not give any objections. He had to make a fuss while the iron was hot. Everyone understood this principle. As soon as Qin Wuyong finished speaking, Yinzhen immediately spoke: "My son reported to Emperor Ama, these two methods are really good prescriptions for governing the world. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers, Mr. Ama will not refuse and ask Emperor Ama to be approved."
Lao Ba was really anxious. Once the old man Kangxi approved the fourth brother's memorial, the old Ba's memorial would be hit hard. Not to mention the many slaves under his sect, the officials who defected to him were all landlords, even if the real estate under his name was too much. Once this method is fully promoted, even if the first party of Lao Ba's one team is completely finished, Lao Ba's memorial will kill him. How can he not be anxious to be red? As soon as the fourth brother finished speaking, Lao Ba couldn't wait to stand up and whispered: "Emperor, I think the fourth brother's memorial is serious and I need to be cautious. Now it's too late, and even if I want to discuss it, there must be some time. Isn't it too late? I suggest that this is a 20% discount and the morning court will discuss it next time."
Haha, Lao Ba really can't hold it in. Hehe, the good show is going to be staged, it's so cool! It's so beautiful! Yinzuo's heart is secretly happy, but his face is very calm, without even a trace of expression. He doesn't plan to interfere in this matter at all.
As soon as Yinsi finished speaking, Yinzhen immediately responded: "Emperor, I think this statement of the eighth brother is very wrong. It is true that the matter is of great importance, but it is not worth delaying time. I have already explained these two methods clearly and clearly. I also ask the emperor to make a judgment on the right and wrong."
Mr. Kangxi was originally a smart person. He knew whether these two methods were good methods. He also understood the motivation for Yinzhen to propose these two methods. Of course, from the perspective of the old man, he could naturally see the difficulties faced by implementing these two methods. He was very grateful for Yinzhen's spirit of daring to face difficulties. The old man also wanted to let the fourth brother perform and see if the fourth brother could compete with Yinzuo. However, this matter was serious, and the old man couldn't help but hesitate. After thinking about it, he looked at Ma Qi and went to the study and said, "What do you think you have? You might as well say it."
Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi and others were all scheming people. They knew Yinzhen's intention to propose this letter and the old man's intention to fulfill it. However, this matter was related to the interests of all officials. They did not want to be this evil person, so they naturally kept silent and were a dull gourd. They did not speak, but Wang Shu, the minister of the Shangshu who had the least qualifications, stood up, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "I believe that these two methods are feasible, and must be done."
Although Comrade Lao Wang is rigid, his vision is not bad. Naturally, he can see the effectiveness of these two methods. Moreover, he is honest and has no wealth in his family. The implementation of these two methods is not harmed by him at all. Comrade Lao Wang's stubbornness is famous. As long as it is something he recognizes, even if the emperor opposes, he still dares to do it. Even Mr. Kangxi has a headache for him, let alone other ministers. At this moment, when the court officials saw Comrade Lao Wang jump out to support Yinzhen's memorial, they all looked at each other, and they were determined to oppose it but could not find an excuse. They all hated each other in their hearts, but they had no choice.
Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and thought that these two methods were good, but it would be difficult to implement them, and the possibility of failure was extremely high. If you accidentally go to the court, you will be in chaos. It is really careless. But seeing that Mr. Kangxi seemed to have made up his mind and was not easy to stop him. Seeing that Comrade Lao Wang publicly supported these two methods, he was a little stunned and hurriedly said: "Sage, I agree with Lord Wang's opinion. These two methods are indeed feasible, but everything must be a beginning. I think this matter is important, so I should first find some places to experiment one and two in order to summarize the experience and lessons, and then generalize it when the time is right. Please make a clear decision."
"Well, Hengchen's words are very consistent with my wishes and are correct. The matter is left to the Ministry of Revenue to handle it. We will make a resolution after selecting prefectures and counties." As soon as Mr. Kangxi finished speaking, he no longer gave the court officials a chance to argue. He stood up and turned out of the back hall. Seeing this, the eunuch of the Sili Dynasty, Qin Wuyong, said loudly: "Scatter the court!"
The court had scattered, but the court officials did not scatter after leaving the hall. They were all talking, and they all pointed at Yinzhen's nose and started scolding. Yinzhen had a blue face and left the palace and went back to the palace outside the city. Lao Ba looked at Lao Si's back and had a rich expression on his face, but he did not make any noise. He hummed coldly, led Lao Jiu and Lao Shi hurried back to the house to discuss. Yinzuo and Yinzhi both had no interest in both of them, and they were just watching the fun. They chatted for a while and then went back to their house.
"Hey, it's really good to have fun today." Yinzuo smiled and told the two strategists about the morning court. Although he felt a little distressed when he lost the customs, the eighth Lao was about to fight with the fourth Lao, which was something that Yinzuo was happy to see.
"Your Majesty, don't just have fun. It's time to add a fire." Wu Sidao said calmly.
"Yes, the time is almost ripe. I will let Liu Shuangcheng start to act. Hey, if you want to play this time, I can't wait. Hahaha..." Yinzuo said with a smile.
Yinzuo made up his mind to take the lily from the fire, but Lao Ba and his group were not idle either, and they gathered in the palace of Prince Lian to discuss matters.
Old Shi Yinxi jumped and cursed: "His grandma's fourth bastard, this bastard, has cheated us all. Damn, this disaster is just the same as Lao Liu, and only the evil woman of Uya can give birth to such a freak, damn, it's bad luck!"
"What's the use of scolding? I've said that the fourth brother is not a thing. I told everyone to be careful and didn't listen. This time, I've been used up and kicked everyone into the ditch. Damn!" The Jiujiu Yinzhen cursed with gritted teeth.
"Enough, what's the use of just complaining? They are all hindsight, and there is no place to make people laugh." The eighth brother Yinsi interrupted the nonsense of his two younger brothers in anger and said coldly: "This matter is not over. Humph, the fourth brother is so beautiful that he is both beautiful. The officials and gentry are paying food together. He is not afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will point at his back and curse. I see if this matter is not complete, so why not let him be proud for a few days?"
"Brother, aren't you brothers trying to curse me? It's really the fourth brother who is bullying too much. This hits us. If the sixth guy is involved, can you and my brother still live this life?" Lao Jiu sighed.
"I can't blame the Fourth Master for being ruthless. This matter was miscalculated. I'm sorry for the prince's kindness. I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed!" Wen Ruihe said with some annoyance.
"Mr. Wen doesn't have to do this. I have no intention of being surprised. But this happened too suddenly. I was caught off guard. Now I am panicked and don't know what to do. Please give me advice." Lao Ba said gently. Wen Ruihe is the wisest man under Lao Ba. He has always rarely made mistakes and occasionally made mistakes. Lao Ba doesn't care too much about this. He still has this tolerance.
"Thank you for your forgiveness," Wen Ruihe nodded to express his gratitude, and then calmly analyzed: "Now that the Fourth Master's memorial has been approved, and it is too late to object. Once this memorial is released, the one who hurts the most is the prince, but these two methods are not impeccable."
"Oh? Sir, please speak, I will just listen." Lao Bayi was delighted when he heard that there was a solution to crack it and asked quickly.
"According to the court's decision, these two methods need to be tried. According to the calculation, the most likely place to be tried is Henan. Sichuan, Hu Guang and the two rivers are all places with taxes. The emperor will not let the Fourth Master make trouble at will. However, the implementation of remote provinces is not representative. Only Henan is the most suitable. It is not difficult for the prince to break these two methods, just like this...
Yinsi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay, as the sir said, I must not let the rats bully you."
Chapter completed!
