Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 193

Among the many sons of Mr. Kangxi, in terms of demeanor, the eighth elder brother Yinhu is unmatched by other elder brothers. According to Yinzuo, that guy can play a niche without makeup on stage Well, if he is released, he must be an idol, and his acting skills are also outstanding, maybe he can really embrace the Oscar statuette or something.It was Yinzuo's expectation that Lao Ba jumped out, although he was grumpy, but it's okay-he is also the king of the county, although he has no errands, but it's his duty to publish the memorial, right?
Lianjun Wang Yinhu came out of the row gracefully, knelt beside Yinzuo, looked at the old man Kangxi with rapt eyes and said, "Huang Ama, my son thinks what the sixth brother said is very true, and I will be able to do it with the talent of Master Shi." It is the fortune of the imperial court and the common people to have peace for the emperor Ama. However, the lack of director of the General Administration of Customs has emerged in this way. The ministers think that the customs are the foundation of the imperial court's tax revenue, but it is the imperial court's most important thing. To be an official, you have to have a capable official to take charge of the overall situation, and the son-in-law Baozuo Zhili vassal Dai Ze took up this post, Dai Ze is a clean and honest official, and he is the best candidate for this post."

Damn it, you damn old eight, you are so ruthless, you actually played this game, let's wait and see.As soon as Yinzuo heard the words of the old man, he knew that this kid had bad intentions——Dai Ze, named Xiangling, was born in Xiaolian. He was originally a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. In the early years, he was brought under Yinzhen's family, released the county magistrate, and later served as the prefect of Tianjin Wei. He was tired of officials until he was promoted to Zhili Fantai. The boss is an upright official. Although it is a little bit reluctant to be the director of the General Administration of Customs according to his seniority, it is not considered a leapfrog promotion.At this time, Lao Ba proposed to let Lao Si's subordinate take over the post of director of the General Administration of Customs, but it was not an act of showing favor to Lao Si, but deliberately provoked a dispute between Yin Zuo and Lao Si in the court, that is, to Meaning to disrupt the chess game.

Knowing that Lao Ba's intentions are sinister, Yin Zuo still has no choice but to bite the bullet and jump in. Although the anger in his heart is surging, but thanks to his good acting skills, he still has a bright smile on his face: "Reporting to the emperor Ama, I think that although the eighth younger brother's words are reasonable, the position of the customs is definitely not based on integrity and self-defense. You must also have the talents of warp and weft, otherwise there will be troubles. I recommend the governor of Zhili Yu Chenglong will take up this position." Yinzuo originally planned to recommend Fan Shijie, who was close to him, to take up this position, but it was not possible to be disturbed by the old eight - although Fan Shijie was not from Yinzuo's family, he was Yinzuo's old man The subordinates pushed Fan Shijie to fight for the position with the fourth brother's subordinates, and no one would believe that he had no selfish intentions. At this moment, Yin Zuo felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

Yinzhen is also a person who is sober, so he can naturally see Lao Ba's intentions, but the matter involves his own disciples, and it is impossible for him not to come forward. Looking at Mr. Kangxi's eyes, Yinzhen's complexion He stepped out of the queue calmly, knelt on Yinzuo's left side, and said calmly: "I am reporting to the emperor, Ama, I think the words of the two younger brothers are justified. , there is nothing wrong with it, but now the customs likin is the largest source of tax revenue for the imperial court, so we must not be careless, if it still seems to be inappropriate under the name of the Ministry of Industry, I hope the emperor Ama will find out."

Hey, the fox tail of the fourth child is finally exposed, mother, this guy has improved a lot recently, and his acting skills are much better than before, and he easily resolved the vicious instigation of the eighth child, if I don’t know him The bottom line, maybe when I was tricked by this guy and helped count the money.Yinzuo secretly became vigilant in his heart, and for the first time put the fourth child on an equal footing with himself.

Grandpa Kangxi didn't express his opinion right away, but just smiled. He basically saw the strangeness of the three brothers' rivalry. He ignored the three brothers, turned his head, and looked at the horses who ranked first among the civil servants. Qi and Zhang Tingyu asked with a smile: "Ma Qi, you are an old householder. In your opinion, how should the General Administration of Customs be managed?"

Ma Qi has been a high-ranking official in the court for many years since he became the Minister of the Household Department in the 27th year of Kangxi. He is very clear about the relationship between the three Yinzuo brothers. He didn't intend to speak at first, but the old man named them. Well, it's really useless if he doesn't say anything, but he just offends people, and there is no middle way to go.Although Ma Qi has never participated in the struggles of elder brothers, but in terms of feelings, he is more inclined to Yinzuo, not because of "cheap father-in-law", but among the elder brothers, it is Yinzuo who fights with him It has been 27 years since Kangxi made toilet water in 13 years, and Yinzuo's talent is also valued by Ma Qi, but from a common sense, Yinzhen's words are very fair-the Ministry of Industry is in charge of building , this matter of financial management should have been managed by the household department.But if you really want to merge the customs into the Ministry of Households, then you will offend Yinzuo miserably. Ma Qi has seen Yinzuo's ruthless means of revenge many times, and he doesn't want to go to experience it in person at all. It was a feeling that at this moment, being forced to the corner by Mr. Kangxi, Comrade Ma was eager to gain wisdom, and said with a bow: "My lord, I think what King Yongjun said is reasonable, but according to Yichen, the General Administration of Customs is really too important. It seems that it is not taken seriously enough if it is assigned to the Ministry of Finance, but it seems to be better if it can be operated independently, I ask the Holy One to make a clear judgment on my humble opinion."

Regarding Ma Qi's words, Yin Zuo and Yin Zhen both seemed indifferent, and the two brothers had basically the same thoughts in their hearts - I can't get it, and I will never let others get it.The old eighth Yinhu was a little disappointed, the original plan to let the fourth and sixth sons face off in court failed, but this guy has good acting skills, even though he scolded Ma Qi for being a slicker in his heart, the smile on his face was still very bright.

Grandpa Kangxi gave a soft "hmm" and then looked at Zhang Tingyu.Zhang Tingyu had been thinking about it in his mind for a long time, and now he had the answer. Seeing the eyes of Mr. Kangxi looking over, he immediately replied: "I think Mr. Ma's words are reasonable. According to the custom, the position of the General Administration of Customs is the Minister of Industry." If the title is now independent, it seems inappropriate to be in charge of the customs with the title of minister. The minister suggested that the director of the General Administration of Customs should no longer hold the title of any department, and set up a position from the first rank, alongside the six departments, to form a custom. This minister's foolish opinion, I ask the Holy One to make a judgment."

Zhang Tingyu's words are really old-fashioned words for seeking the country, and no one has anything to say. The old man Kangxi nodded his head approvingly and said: "The edict is allowed to be played by Zhang Tingyu, and the governor of Zhili is transferred to Jackie Chan to act as the acting General Administration of Customs. The governor of Zhili is assigned by the The Ministry of Officials voted to fill the vacancy, and Shi Shilun was transferred to be the governor of Yunnan."

Although this result was expected, Yin Zuo couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart-don't look at the old man who asked this and that, and looked like a good guy, in fact, it was the old man who divided the customs from the Ministry of Industry. Fortunately, the old man is not so biased that he assigns the customs to Yinzhen, which can be regarded as a relief for Yinzuo, but seeing the General Administration of Customs that he has worked so hard to manage is so easy When the land is gone, unhappiness is inevitable.

Today, I have only discussed one matter of the General Administration of Customs since I came to court, but I have been tossing about this matter for a long time. Seeing that it is almost noon, everyone is a little tired, and Mr. Kangxi is planning to When he got up to leave the court, Yinzuo, king of Yongjun, suddenly said, "I report to Emperor Ama, I have a book to play." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and held it high above his head.Grandpa Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and then signaled Qin Wuyong, the eunuch who was standing beside him, to go down and pick up the playbook.

Grandpa Kangxi took the memorabilia handed over by Qin Wuyong, read it carefully, frowned, glanced at Yinzhen with some doubts, and after pondering for a while, said to Qin Wuyong: "Xuan!" Qin Wuyong hurriedly responded After saying "yes", he picked up the booklet on the dragon table and read it aloud: "Chen Yinzhen has a letter to his majesty: since Emperor Taizong, the annexation of land has become more and more serious, and the number of refugees has increased day by day, so that there is no fixed quota for Ding and silver. It is difficult to levy, and even unscrupulous people put the land under the name of officials, and the trend of tax evasion is increasing. The sage said: Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality. If you don’t restrain it, the trend will become worse. Change, this is a serious problem, children and ministers are not talented, I would like to offer two methods to cure the problem, the first is: the distribution of the people into the mu, the second is that the officials and the gentry pay the grain together,..."

The ministers did not expect that such a blockbuster would drop when the court was about to disperse. After hearing the detailed implementation plan of Yinzhen's book, they were all dumbfounded and whispered loudly for a while. For the vital interests of the big guys, none of those wealthy people will agree to this discount, but it is really difficult to find out the reasons for objecting in a short period of time. Come.

It was only now that Yinhu understood the real intention of the fourth brother so readily agreeing to join forces with him. For a while, his smiling face froze, wishing to kick Yinzhen to death, but the old man still Looking at it from above, no matter how angry he was, he would not dare to do something disrespectful to the emperor, he frowned, and thought about the countermeasures, but at the moment he was so upset, how could he come up with something clever I had no choice but to be anxious, and took a sneak peek at Yinzuo who was standing beside me, only to find that there was no expression on Yinzuo's face at all. It's winter, but Yinhu's forehead is covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Others don't know Yinzhen's intentions, but Yinzuo knows it very well in his heart. He already knew that Yinzhen would take this opportunity to propose this second discount. Speaking of which, these two discounts were still given by Yinzuo. It was so clear that there was no need to listen carefully.This two-fold discount is a good recipe for this era, and it is also the only way to reduce the burden on farmers-although China's economy in this era has developed industrial and commercial, it is still dominated by small-scale peasant economy, which is extravagant in this era What kind of communism and capitalist democracy are pure utopias divorced from reality, and they are nothing more than novelists' words. Among other things, can Confucianism for thousands of years be broken without the impact of foreign ideas?Impossible!If the country is to be stable, the primary goal is to ensure the stability of the imperial power. Yinzuo is very clear about this, and he never thought of doing something like a communist revolution in this era.

Hey, Xiao Mian, I told you to make trouble again, this time you kid was betrayed by the fourth child, it's interesting, you can taste the pain slowly by yourself, let's just watch the fun.Yinzuo has seen Yinhu's embarrassment a long time ago, and Yinzuo pretended not to see Yinhu's begging eyes for help, and he was happy in his heart, planning to see how the eighth brother would turn against the fourth coming.

The memorial is not too long. Although Qin Wuyong couldn't read it fast, he finished it in just a few minutes. The big guys were discussing with each other, but no one stood up to object. .Everyone knows the truth of striking while the iron is hot.As soon as Qin Wuyong's words fell, Yinzhen immediately said: "I will report to Huang Ama that these two methods are really a good way to govern the world. Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will never hesitate to ask Huang Ama Grace."

Lao Ba is really in a hurry, once the old man Kangxi approves the performance of Lao Si, Lao Ba will suffer a big blow-not to mention the many servants under his sect and the officials who took refuge in him, all of them are landlords, Even if he owns a lot of real estate, once this method is fully promoted, the old eight and his gang will be completely finished, and the fourth brother's move will kill him. Can he not be red-eyed?As soon as the fourth brother finished speaking, the eighth brother stood up impatiently and said in a loud voice: "Huang Ama, I think that what the fourth brother has said is important and we need to be cautious. Now it is too late, even if you want to There needs to be some time for the discussion, right? My son suggested that the two-fold discount should be discussed in the next morning."

Haha, Lao Ba really can't hold it anymore, hehe, a good show is about to be staged, it's so cool! It's so beautiful!Yinzuo's heart is dark, but his face is very calm, without even a trace of expression, he has no intention of interfering in this matter at all.

As soon as Yinhu finished speaking, Yinzhen immediately interjected: "Huang Ama, I think the eighth younger brother's statement is absurd, and the matter is important, but it is not worth delaying, and I have already said this. The second method is clearly explained, and the right and wrong are up to Emperor Ama to decide."

Grandpa Kangxi was originally a shrewd person. He naturally knew whether these two methods were good or not, and he also understood Yinzhen's motives for proposing these two methods. Difficulties, I still highly appreciate Yinzhen's spirit of daring to face difficulties. The old man also intends to let the fourth child perform a show to see if the fourth child can compete with Yinzuo. It's just that this matter is important, the old man Unavoidably hesitant, after thinking for a while, he looked at Ma Qi and other ministers in the study room and said, "If you have any opinions, you might as well talk about them."

Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi, etc. are all scheming people, and they are all aware of Yinzhen's intentions in proposing this proposal and the old man's intention to fulfill his intentions, but this matter is related to the interests of all officials, and they don't want to be this The villain, of course, kept his mouth shut, and became a silent gourd.They didn't speak, but Wang Jie, the most junior minister in the study room, stood up, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "I report to the Holy Majesty, I think these two methods are feasible and must be done."

Although Comrade Wang is rigid, he has good vision, so he can see the effectiveness of these two methods. Besides, he has no style of business and no money in his family, so the implementation of these two methods will not hurt him at all.Comrade Wang is famous for his stubbornness. As long as it is something he is sure of, even if the Holy Majesty objects, he still dares to do it. Even the old man Kangxi has a headache for him, let alone other ministers. When all the courtiers saw Comrade Lao Wang jumping out to support Yinzhen's book, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. They wanted to object but couldn't find an excuse. They all hated to death in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Zhang Tingyu thought about it for a long time, and felt that these two methods are good, but they must be very difficult to implement, and the possibility of failure is extremely high. If one is not careful, the court situation will be chaotic. It is really careless, but seeing Mr. Kangxi seems to have made up his mind, and it is not easy to stop him with words. Seeing that Comrade Wang publicly supported the two laws, he couldn't stay still anymore, and hurriedly came out and said: "My lord, I agree with Mr. Wang's opinion. The second method is indeed feasible, but everything has to have a beginning, I think this matter is important, I should first find some places to test the first and second methods, so as to sum up the experience and lessons, and then generalize it when the time is right, please make a clear decision."

"Well, Heng Chen's words are very much in line with my wishes, yes, the matter will be handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a decision will be made after the selection of prefectures and counties." As soon as the old man Kangxi finished speaking, he no longer gave the courtiers any chance to dispute, Get up and turn out of the apse.Seeing this, Qin Wuyong, the eunuch in charge of rites, shouted loudly: "Scatter the court!"

The court broke up, but the courtiers left the hall but they didn't leave, they talked a lot, among them, Bufan pointed at Sang and Huai's generation, and almost pointed at Yinzhen's nose and started scolding.Yinzhen's face was ashen, and he went out of the palace and went back to the palace outside the city; the eighth child looked at the back of the fourth child with a very rich expression on his face, but he didn't get angry because of his face, and snorted coldly After a while, he led Lao Jiu and Lao Shi back to the mansion to discuss; Yinzuo and Yinzhi both had nothing to do with themselves, and they both had the attitude of watching the fun, but they had a good chat for a while, and then they went on their own terms. go home.

"Hey, it's really fun today." Yinzuo smiled and told the two counselors what happened in the early court today. Although he felt sorry for losing the customs, the eighth brother was about to have a dragon-tiger fight with the fourth. But it's something Yinzuo likes to see.

"My lord, don't care about being happy, it's time to add fire." Wu Sidao said calmly.

"That's right, the time is almost ripe. This king will let Liu Shuangcheng start to act. Hey, if you want to play this time, let's play a big one. This king can't wait, hahaha..." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

Yinzuo had made up his mind to take chestnuts out of the fire, but Lao Ba and his fellows were not idle, and they all gathered in the Prince's Mansion of Lian County to discuss matters.

The old ten Yinyu jumped on his feet and cursed: "His grandma's fourth son, a bastard, has tricked us all, mother, this disaster is as good as the sixth son, and only that wicked woman of Wu Ya's can give birth to such a pair!" Come on freak, mother, bad luck!"

"What's the use of scolding, I said earlier that the fourth child is not a thing, and I told the big guy to be careful, but I didn't listen. This time it's okay, after being used by others, I even kicked the big guy into the ditch, mother Yes!" Lao Jiu Yinzhen gritted his teeth and scolded.

"That's enough. There's no use in complaining. Everyone is an afterthought. There's no room for people to laugh at them." The old eighth Yinyu interrupted the nonsense of the two younger brothers angrily, and said coldly: "This matter Endless, hmph, the fourth child has a good idea, and the officials and gentry pay the food together, so he is not afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will point at his spine and scold his mother. This king sees that this matter is not going to work, so let him be proud for a few days. Why not?"

"Brother, it's not that the brothers want to scold mothers, it's because the bastard fourth is bullying people too much, and it's all on our heads. If the sixth bastard gets involved again, can you and my brother survive this day?" Lao Jiu sighed.

"I can't blame Fourth Master for being ruthless. This matter is a general miscalculation. I'm sorry for the kindness of the prince. I'm ashamed! Ashamed!" Wen Ruihe said a little annoyed.

"Mr. Wen doesn't need to be like this. This king has absolutely no intention of blaming each other. It's just that this matter happened so suddenly. This king was really caught off guard. Now I feel panicked, and I really don't know what to do. Please give me your advice, Mr. Ba." said gently.Wen Ruihe is the number one wise man under Lao Bazuo. He seldom makes mistakes in his calculations, and occasionally he makes mistakes. Lao Ba doesn't care too much.

"Thank you, my lord, for your forgiveness." Wen Ruihe nodded his head to express his gratitude, and then calmly analyzed: "Now that Siye's paper has been approved, it is too late to object. Once this paper is released, the one who will hurt the most is the prince. The second law is not invulnerable."

"Oh? Sir, please tell me, I just listen to it." Lao Ba was overjoyed when he heard that there was a solution, and hurriedly asked.

"According to the decision of the court, these two laws need to be tried out in a place. According to general calculations, the most likely place to try it out is Henan. Sichuan, Huguang, and Liangjiang are all tax-heavy places. The Holy Majesty will definitely not be the fourth master. Toss around at will, and the remote provinces are not representative of the implementation, only Henan is the most suitable, and it is not difficult for the prince to get rid of these two methods, as long as this..."

Yinhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Okay, according to what Mr. said, this king must not be bullied by rats."

Ladies and gentlemen, my brothers have never saved manuscripts. I stayed up all night last night and coded out a long chapter. I was so tired that I panicked!I beg for everyone's support, those who support Xiaoliu will smash the monthly ticket, Xiaoliu begs everyone!
