Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 107

Shipping is a door, a door that breaks through closed countries.Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, in order to guard against the Zheng family's forces occupying Taiwan, the strategy of Jinghai has been adopted.Even though the Zheng family has surrendered, the sea ban has not yet been opened, and the door is closed and it is called the Kingdom of Heaven. Although it is not completely isolated from the outside world, the amount of foreign trade is pitifully small.In this era of rapid development in the Western world, China, a great country, is slowly falling behind, not only in terms of technology, but more importantly, in terms of ideology. Only by opening the door of shipping can we start overseas trade. Also have the opportunity to keep up with the fashion trends in today's world.

Thinking of the tragedies of the British and French allied forces burning the Old Summer Palace in his previous life, Yinzuo's heart always feels heavy and uncomfortable. No matter from the perspective of a time traveler or an elder brother who aspires to be a big man, he will never allow this to happen. Waiting for the possibility of things happening again, it is by no means easy to break the established policy of closing the country.

Let’s not talk about the objections of the courtiers—the Confucianists who only know the meaning of life, apart from writing some useless nonsense, they only know that the Heavenly Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and there is no need for foreign exotic skills, other things I don't know anything about it.Even Mr. Kangxi, who considers himself open-minded and has studied foreign languages ​​for several years with missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, Tang Ruowang, and Nan Huairen, would not agree to open the sea ban. believers.

It is basically hopeless to break through the strategy of closing the country from the front, and Yinzuo will not be so stupid as to directly hit the wall that cannot be hit at all, but it is possible to open a small window on the wall first in a detour That's right--now take advantage of the opportunity of being a river worker to get the grain transported by sea first.Once the shipping starts, it will be inevitable to wipe out pirates and have dialogues with Portugal and Spain, the two maritime powers. In this way, it is inevitable that the weak and small navy of the Qing Dynasty will be flattened. With the face-saving personality of Mr. Kangxi , must not be able to bear the loss of being dumb, so it will be lively when you come down.

To build a navy requires money and technology, which forced the Qing Dynasty to move forward, not only to engage in overseas trade, but also to have overseas influence. By then, a small window will become a door, and Yinzuo will This is the result. Although there are many dangers and difficulties, Yinzuo will never give up, not only for the sake of future generations, but also for his own great cause.Seeing that the chariot was about to start, Yinzuo was really excited, but when Lin Xuanyi told the news, Yinzuo couldn't be happier.

"Congratulations, the prince is going to be a father." Lin Xuanyi said calmly, although the words were congratulations, there was no congratulations on Lin Xuanyi's face at all.

"Who? Me? Be a father?" Yin Zuo was dumbfounded: what is the matter with this, we are not married yet, why did we have a child?

"After the prince went to the morning court today, Liu Chang'e came and said that the two maids of Tianjin Wei are all there, so what should the prince see?" Lin Xuanyi said unhurriedly.

Depend on!I got dizzy and forgot about Chunlan and Qiuju. I'm ashamed! Huh?I'm going to be a father, hahaha, we are really sharpshooters, becoming a father, hahaha, so cool!Yinzuo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, but Lin Xuanyi's next sentence made Yinzuo's smiling face dull.

"My lord is about to get married."

Ah, big wedding, Lan Yueer?Yinzuo was stunned.It is not uncommon for elder brothers to have several concubines before marriage these days, not to mention elder brothers, even in the families of rich people, this is considered a normal thing, but there is one thing that is troublesome—ordinary people’s concubines Before the master got married, he gave birth to children, which means he became an aunt, but it would be a little troublesome for the elder brothers.

According to the Qing system, if you want to become Elder Brother's Fujin, even the side Fujin has to pay attention to his identity, needless to say, Zheng Fujin, he has to be from the upper three banners, even the side Fujin has to be a bannerman, like Chunlan A woman from a lowly background like Qiu Ju, not to mention being a side Fujin, can't even enter the elder brother's door, but the child still has status. According to the routine, the child has to be taken back to the palace as soon as it is born, and the two A girl cannot enter the gate of the palace, and will never see her child for the rest of her life.

If it were other brothers, they wouldn't take this matter to heart. At worst, they would bring the child back after they got married, and the two girls would just leave them aside and let him go. Brothers don't lack beautiful women at all. It doesn't take much effort, but Yinzuo is different, it's not a soft-hearted talk, it's just that he comes from later generations, he knows that children without maternal love must have flaws in character, Yinzuo doesn't want his own child to be such a character.

It is not impossible to let those two girls enter the door. Raise the flag-this is a unique thing in the Qing Dynasty. The so-called "raise" means to raise from low to high.Raising the flag is an act of reward and reward, an important way for flag members to change their status, and it is a prominent honor.Most of the honors were awarded by the emperor's special decree or ministry.Using Yin Zuo's means to turn these two girls into bannermen is just a matter of effort, but the problem has arisen again: the wedding has not yet been done, and she has two children by herself. I can't help being a little uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if she feels uncomfortable, the life of the two girls will be difficult. Once the housework is about to start, Yin Zuo will have no peace. Not to mention that the two girls will really come in, maybe It is another troublesome thing to read the last book one day when someone else exposes your identity.

Damn, this matter is messed up, alas, I am happy for a while, but troubles follow.Yinzuo frowned and paced up and down the room, and finally decided to carry the two girls into the flag first, and then deal with other matters after the wedding.

The marriage can be left alone, the most important thing right now is that there should be no trouble in the shipping business, Yinzuo put the marriage behind him, and described what happened in the early court today to Lin Xuanyi.After Lin Xuanyi listened, he pondered for a while and said, "My lord, the passage of the shipping package is a foregone conclusion, but whether it can be caught by the lord is still undecided, and I still have to be busy in the future."

Yinzuo also understands this truth in his heart. Although the book is made by himself, the old man may not necessarily let himself be responsible for it. If it is really snatched by other elder brothers, it will be a big joke. Lin Xuanyi discussed what might happen.

Yinzuo is busy, and the other elder brothers are not idle, and they are all gathering their own people to discuss at the moment.An Sheng is also in the third son's house, anyway, he can't compete with Yinzuo, as long as he can get benefits.Although the land monopoly bureau promised by Yinzuo in front of the head is full of oil and water, it is nothing in the whole package plan. The third brother and his group are looking at a big basket of meat, and they only get one bone. Naturally not happy, no, I called the fifth and seventh sons together and discussed it with a few scorpions. The main purpose is only one, and it is a little bit more to get a little more. In fact, I have made a few discounts, and I am waiting for the performance to grab the benefits. up.

Seeing Yinzuo gaining power, Prince Yinreng was tired of mentioning it, but he didn't dare to confront Mr. Kangxi. Seeing that the passage of the sea transport book was basically a foregone conclusion, his heart became lively and full of thoughts Thinking about picking peaches, no, the Yuqing Palace is bustling right now, Suo'etu, Zhu Tianbao, Chen Tianqiu, Ling Pu and a whole bunch of prince's cronies are busy.

If the third brother and his gang just wanted to grab a piece of meat, the prince just wanted to take the pot, and he didn't want to let go of everything except his reputation for Yin Zuo.A group of people discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a charter, that is, no matter who falls into the hands of the shipping business, Yinzuo can't get it. .As a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, ranking first among the ministers of the upper study, it is reasonable for Suo'etu to come forward to take charge of the shipping. This errand couldn't be done, and I had to contact several other elder brothers' forces. The big guys were busy, and the courtiers who should contact the courtiers, and those who should communicate with those elder brothers did not stop. The officialdom in the capital was extremely lively. Officials, big and small, jumped up and down, talking to each other, busy writing memorials.

The boss acted like a fool, but he also prepared a memorial, and he recommended it himself, regardless of whether the old man would agree or not. As soon as he left the court, he asked his subordinates to quickly organize a memorial, and he was the first to submit it. , but Mr. Kangxi didn't even reply a word, just let him wait.

Lao Ba and his group are also discussing this shipping deal, but they are more concerned about Yinzuo's heart.After Lao Jiu Yinzhen finished introducing the situation of this morning, Wen Ruihe, who was always the last to speak, was the first to speak this time: "I'm afraid the sixth elder brother has a heart." Immediately, everyone in the room was dumbfounded, and they all stared at Wen Ruihe dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

The tenth old Yinyu jumped up furiously: "Damn the sixth, damn it, the big guys played together and messed up the shipping business for him. We must not let him get away with it."

Lao Jiu shook his plump cheeks, and said darkly: "I found out that Lao Liu is not authentic, now he's better, and he really got an idea. If you want me to say, He Gong couldn't take advantage of him earlier. You guys don't believe me, hey, this time..."

Lao Ba Yinxu waved his hand and interrupted Lao Jiu's nonsense, thought for a while with a cold face, his eyes flashed sharply, smiled and said: "It seems that Lao Liu is really interested, alas, Ben Baylor has always been kind to others, and he never expected that his brothers would treat each other like this, let's go and see." After a pause, he said, "What do you think Mr. Wen wants?"

"The picture of King Yijun is not small, this person is really a great enemy, but at this moment Lord Baylor is not only facing Yijun King, don't forget that there is another master sitting in the palace, if at this moment We started fighting, and there is no place to take advantage of that one." Wen Ruihe said unhurriedly.

"That's right, that's the reason. Ben Belle is sure that the master will never stop here. There will be twists and turns in the future. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Yinhu said quietly.

"If you think about it, there is only one trick that the man in the palace can do: launch Suo'etu to rush to pick the peaches. If Pu's prediction is not bad, the man in the palace will send someone here soon, Baylor The master only needs to agree first, and not let it go, and when those two fight fiercely, Lord Baylor may not be able to pick peaches." Wen Ruihe twitched his beard, and smiled and said the countermeasures.Just as everyone was clapping their hands and applauding, the housekeeper reported that Chen Tianqiu, a scholar of the Eastern Palace and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, had come to visit.

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, anyway, Ben Baylor will see this messenger. The big guy will avoid it first." Yinhu said with a smile, and asked the housekeeper to welcome him into the study.

Chen Tianqiu, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, a Jinshi in the 27th year of Kangxi, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, a lecturer in the East Palace, known as the unparalleled eloquence, and when he saw Yinhu at this moment, he naturally talked about it endlessly. He mentioned that the prince remembered Babeile, and praised Babeile for being diligent in political affairs, with a clear voice, and has always been relied on by the Holy One, etc. Then the conversation changed, and he talked about Suo'etu and Lord Suo's deep understanding of shipping. Knowing this, in a word, it has one meaning: to ask Yinhu to support Suo'etu to take charge of the shipping, and he didn't forget to make a bunch of empty promises during the process.

Who is Yinhu, that's just a fox who has become a spirit, playing with a smile and killing people, how could he be deceived by Chen Tianqiu's nonsense, but Yinhu didn't open his mouth to object, just listened with a smile. He patted his chest to assure the ticket, and declared that he would obey the prince's orders. At any rate, Chen Tianqiu, who was planning to come to fool people, was fooled away, but Yinhu still did what he should do. It's just a thought.

At this moment, all the officials, big and small, all over the capital were in motion, except that only the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's mansion was quiet and there was no sound. Everyone knew that this master had just lost his job and was unlucky. His son has a cold temper, and no one wants to come to the door to cling to him.Yinzhen was also very troubled in his heart, he had lost his job, but the sixth child had a bright future, they were all compatriots from the same mother, both were elder brothers, how could their circumstances be so different.

Yinzhen, who was restless, wandered around in the study for a while, but couldn't suppress the sullenness in his heart, so he simply walked out without any purpose, just walked around the mansion, and unknowingly came to the residence of the servants in the outer courtyard.The servants all knew that their grandfather had a bad temper recently, and they all hid when they saw Yinzhen's figure early on. There was no one in the huge courtyard, but the sound of reciting books came from a room in the courtyard.

Yinzhen stopped and listened for a while, but found that this person was reading "Book of Changes", his heart was slightly shocked, and he was curious, and walked towards that room...
