lied to Kangxi

Chapter 550

Because Yu Zhu and Lao Twelve were in charge in person, Cao Yin's funeral was handled very well.

According to the statistics of the second grandmother of Di, a total of 500 taels of liberty was collected during the funeral, plus the 8000 taels bestowed by the old emperor, the Cao family managed the funeral, not only did not lose money, but made a small profit.

The old emperor was a very sensible person, if he hadn't sent Yuzhu to sit in the township, the Cao family's collection of libation silver could not have exceeded a thousand taels.

These days, the world is very hot and cold.If the mainstay of the family dies, he will become a relative and friend who can only cause trouble, and cannot bring benefits.

After listening to Yuzhu's detailed report, the old emperor sighed and said, "Li Xu has several jobs all by himself, and he is already too busy."

Yuzhu understood in seconds, and immediately said: "Old man, Jiangning weaving is very important, why don't we send Cao Yong?"

Just as the old emperor had this intention, Yuzhu came over with a ladder, and he nodded immediately and said, "You draw up a decree and order Cao Yong to act as Jiangning weaving doctor."

"Hey." Yuzhu readily agreed.

Cao Yong is now a third-class bodyguard of the fifth rank, and transferred to the fifth rank of Jiangning weaving doctor. Although it is not considered a promotion, it is also reused.

The expenses of the old emperor's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River were extremely huge, which caused an extremely heavy burden on all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

However, the old emperor was very considerate of Cao Yin and forcibly made a deal with Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, Yuzhu repaid several million taels of silver for the Cao family, and Cao Yi and Di's second grandmother belonged to Yuzhu's rewards.

Today, Yuzhu uses the international trade at the Dagu Port Wharf to not only pay off the debts for the Cao family, but also help the old emperor greatly fill up the internal treasury.

From the beginning to the end, no matter how you calculate it, the old emperor is the absolute winner.

Yuzhu only stole two women from the Cao family, and on the surface, it was a mess.

In fact, as long as Dagu Port allows international trade, whether it is shipbuilding to go to sea, or foreign businessmen coming to Hong Kong to collect taxes, Yuzhu will make a lot of money.

The monopoly business, in the hands of Cao Yin, suffered huge losses every year.

Being pinched in the palm of Yuzhu's hand, the more he does it, the more prosperous he becomes, and the more he does it, the greater the benefits, to the extent that the old emperor is reluctant to part with it.

During the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, almost all competitive government-run enterprises eventually went bankrupt due to insolvency.

How can it be possible to have the same investment attitude when spending other people's money and spending money in your own pocket?

The officials are all floating officials, they have no affection for the local grassroots, and there is no protection of the tenure system, so it is natural to form a short-term profit-seeking idea that they have the right not to make money after the expiration date.

It is abnormal for a government-run enterprise not to lose money.

A few days later, the governor of Shaanxi was impeached and stepped down.

The old emperor asked Yu Zhu, who should be appointed?

The Northwest is using troops, the governor of Shaanxi is too sensitive, Yuzhu is not stupid, he reasoned that he didn't know which minister was better, so he kept silent.

Just when the old emperor hesitated, someone elected Kui Xu as the governor of Shaanxi.

Recommending Kui Xu to be the governor of Shaanxi, even if Yuzhu thinks with his feet, he knows that the old eight is targeting Nian Gengyao and the fourth.

However, Lao Ba has indeed made great progress.

In the past, Lao Ba always liked to let people from the Baye Party write the papers together, creating a forceful momentum of unanimity.

This time, none of the important ministers of the Eighth Master Party came forward, and it was Qian Ding, the servant of the Imperial Academy, who made the suggestion.

It's just that Lao Ba never dreamed that the old emperor kept a close eye on him, and he already knew that Kui Xu was actually Lao Ba's man.

At this time, there was an urgent military situation in the frontier area, and Tserwang Allah Butan of Junggar sent people to attack Hami and other places on a large scale.

When Yuzhu heard the news, he knew very well that the Second Qing Dynasty War, which lasted for more than ten years, broke out again.

This Qing Zhun war in history started from the outbreak of small-scale conflicts in the 54th year of Kangxi until the death of the old emperor.

Yuzhu stayed by the old emperor's side, watching helplessly the old emperor's appetite and mood deteriorated, but he couldn't persuade him.

The old emperor was not an ordinary emperor, he personally conquered Galdan three times.

Military power is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the old emperor knows it better than anyone else.

At the beginning, the hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty generally looked down on the wild boar skin, calling it the later golden tartar.

However, did the soldiers of the Eight Banners successfully enter the customs because of the will of the people?

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and whoever believes this is the real "great wisdom".

Yu Zhu obviously wanted to step in and share a feast of power, but he never dared to reveal his true intentions.

The military power that the old emperor kept a close eye on, anyone who dares to actively participate in it will be unlucky sooner or later.

The fight for the governor of Shaanxi had nothing to do with Yuzhu.

However, at this juncture, General Xi'an actually died on Ji Nu's belly.

This matter, no matter how you look at it, is extremely weird.

Yuzhu is a human being, not a god, and his hands are still not that long, so naturally he can't figure out who made the poisonous hand.

However, according to Zhou Quan's conjecture, it is very likely that the fourth child is the one who secretly murdered him, with the purpose of blaming the eighth child and taking the opportunity to seize military power.

Because of the military needs of defending the Junggar Khanate, among all the garrison generals in the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners elite under the command of General Xi'an exceeded 8000, and the proper ones received the most attention.

You know, in today's Qing Dynasty, even the powerful generals of Heilongjiang only have more than ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers at hand.

General Xi'an has the most soldiers and horses, except for defending the Junggars.It is also because Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, has nearly [-] of the most elite green battalion soldiers in his hands.

As we all know, Nian Gengyao's biological sister is the fourth brother's side Fujin.

If the old emperor gave General Xi'an to the fourth brother, then the military power held by the fourth brother is obviously too great.

As for Yuzhu, he doesn't miss General Xi'an, but wants to go to Jingzhou and replace Long Kedo.

Don't look at Longkodo as a general, but he has never fought in actual combat.

Yuzhu was very worried that if Longkodo led troops into Sichuan to fight, he might die on the snowy plateau in the end.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly. When Yuzhu was thinking about how to persuade the old emperor, the old emperor suddenly made a decision.

"Zhu'er, your ama has been complaining to me, saying that Jingzhou is too poor." When Yuzhu was soothing the old emperor, the old emperor suddenly pulled Longkodo.

Yuzhu was about to bring Long Kedo back to the capital, so he said with a smile: "That's a good idea, why not just send him to Hangzhou or Jiangning."

After dealing with the old emperor for so many years, Yuzhu has already mastered a trick. He clearly wants Longko to return to Beijing to gain military power, but he has to deliberately speak far away, pretending not to care about the military power in the capital.

The temper of the old emperor is that the more you want military power, the more unwilling to give it to you, such as Lao Ba.

"Well, Hangzhou is a good place. There is a lot of money, there are many beauties, and the scenery is also very beautiful." The old emperor praised Hangzhou all the way, but suddenly there was a turning point, "It's called Zhang Tingyu."

When Zhang Tingyu came to draw up the decree, Yuzhu planned to withdraw, but the old emperor waved his hand and called him, "You stay."

"Hengchen, draw up a few orders. The first one is to order General Longkodo of Jingzhou to return to command the infantry."

After the old emperor gave such instructions, Zhang Tingyu subconsciously glanced at Yuzhu, feeling extremely depressed, mother, why is it him again?

"The second decree is to order Yuzhu to act as the general of Xi'an and the governor of Shaanxi."

"Khan Ama, I'm not very capable, why don't you go to Shaanxi? Why don't you just go to Jingzhou?" Yuzhu's old habit of bargaining happened again.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Jingzhou has been gradually developed and has become a well-known land of fish and rice throughout the country.

To put it bluntly, Jingzhou is not only not bitter, but has a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for enjoying happiness.

As soon as the old emperor heard it, he knew that Yuzhu wanted all the good things, and he was not willing to go to Xi'an to suffer.

These days, due to the increasingly barren soil in the Guanzhong area, Xi'an is no longer the prosperous and world-leading scene in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

Jingzhou, on the edge of the Yangtze River, is also a vast plain. There are more than 150 million people in just one prefecture and six counties.

This is also the fundamental factor for setting up Eight Banners Generals in Jingzhou during the Shunzhi Dynasty.

Obviously, no matter how prosperous the border of Xi'an is, it cannot be more comfortable than Jingzhou.

The old emperor knew that Yu Zhu's lazy tendons should be cured again!

"Well, that's it. Don't talk nonsense." The old emperor made a final decision.

In front of Zhang Tingyu, Yuzhu didn't dare to argue with the old emperor anymore, so he had to admit it with his nose.

After Zhang Tingyu left, Yuzhu reached the old emperor, and before he could open his mouth, he heard the old emperor say: "You can only take Da Cao Jia to Xi'an."

As soon as Yuzhu heard it, he knew that the old emperor had made up his mind, and it would be bad if he continued to pester him, so he had to admit it.

After returning home, Zhou Quan lightly shook his folding fan, squinted his eyes, and analyzed: "From the point of view of my subordinates, the emperor played a wonderful game of chess. He deliberately asked you to go to Shaanxi to contain Nian Gengyao, and by the way, restrict the fourth son." Over the years, Nian Gengyao has become too powerful and powerful, so we have to guard against him today."

"Why did I go to Xi'an?" Yuzhu already had the answer in his heart, but asked Zhou Quan on purpose.

"Hey, apart from the fourth, the fourteenth and you, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one can suppress Nian Gengyao, who is extremely domineering." Zhou Quan could see clearly that the old emperor was probably I plan to pass the big position to the old fourteen.

From the standpoint of the old emperor, since the fourteenth was selected, the strength of the fourth should not be inflated too much.

Yuzhu smiled and said, "The more we fight with Nian Gengyao, the more it will benefit Jinshang and that person."

Zhou Quan naturally knew who that person was referring to, he smiled softly and said, "That person may be the fourth child, or the fourteenth child, who can say for sure?"

The two masters and servants looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

After the news of Yuzhu going to Xi'an spread, the dignitaries in the capital all clapped their crowns to celebrate.

Nima, when Yuzhu was the commander of the infantry, he strangled the private salt and private iron into the city by the neck, so that everyone could get some money, but they couldn't open it.

Objectively speaking, if you can't go up, you can't go down, it's too uncomfortable, and you don't dare to turn your face.

Longkodo is different. As long as you are willing to pay money, Longkodo will dare to make you rich.
