Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 199 Good things always come in pairs
Yinzuo has always had a wish in his heart, that is to change the Chinese history of later generations, and not allow those historical tragedies to be staged. It is impossible to do this without reforming the entire social system. Of course, Yinzuo wants It's not the kind of stormy revolution from the bottom up, not to mention whether this kind of revolution has any hope of success, but once the revolution happens, the whole society will be in chaos, and the dead will be gone. His own status also determines that Yinzuo will not lead a revolution, which does not meet Yinzuo's actual needs, but then again, from the history of China, we can see that top-down reforms are also unworkable Yes, even if the emperor himself supported the reform—the failure of Wang Anshi's reform is the best example.There is a contradiction between wanting to make some changes and not wanting to cause great social turmoil. Although Yin Zuo already has an idea in his mind, he is not fully sure what to do.

What is the driving force of social change? Various schools of thought have been arguing endlessly. The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. However, in Yinzuo’s view, there are no more than two things—one is the pursuit of profit maximization that leads to the development of science and technology, The second is that after the development of science and technology, people are further promoted to pursue profit maximization.These two points seem simple, but they are not. Thousands of years of feudal history and the prevalence of Confucianism in this land in China have led to the deep-rooted self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy in China. There will be no other changes at all.

If Yinzuo wants to change without causing too much turmoil, there are not many paths he can choose. The first is to have power, to have absolute power to ensure the implementation of his plan, and the second is to have the power of science and technology .Absolute power is naturally imperial power, and only those who ascend to great positions can have absolute power. As for the power of science and technology, Yinzuo has also made various efforts over the years, among which those laboratories are the key.Yinzuo spent a lot of money to plant these scientific seeds, and he didn't expect to have a big harvest immediately. He himself knows very well that these seeds can grow into small trees under the existing personnel and social environment. The saplings were considered a success, but what Yin Zuo didn't expect was that these seeds would quietly bear huge fruits—the steam engine was born.

Others may not know what this means, but Yin Zuo understands it very well. The birth of the steam engine means that the foundation of the industrial revolution has been laid. It is an epoch-making invention.Yin Zuo doesn't know the level of science and technology in Europe in the present era, but it is certain that European steam engines have not been widely used. This can be seen from the fact that warships and merchant ships in European countries are still in the age of sail.

Yin Zuo studied chemical machinery in his previous life, and he is not familiar with such outdated things as steam engines. Of course, the principles are clear, and he once sorted out all the principles he knew and handed them over to those students who are engaged in research. However, Yinzuo himself has no idea whether he can really make a steam engine. He just has an attitude of giving it a try. He really didn't expect those students to really make a steam engine. This kind of good news really makes Yinzuo Zuo was ecstatic, wishing he could rush to Shanghai, where the laboratory is located, to see what happened.Of course, it was just thinking about it. Yin Zuo couldn’t leave at all right now, but heavy rewards are inevitable. Yin Zuo immediately decided to reward the experimental team that developed the steam engine with 10 taels of silver so that they could continue to improve the steam engine. In order to put into practical use as soon as possible.

On the third day of May in the 41st year of Kangxi, the good news from Shandong spread to the capital, along with the captives’ confessions. Worried about the possible resurgence of the massive Japanese pirate rebellion in the pre-Ming Dynasty, shouts and beatings against the Japanese pirates arose everywhere.Bu Xiao said that these rumors were all arranged by Yinzuo, which caused "Honghu" to fan the flames everywhere, causing panic among the people in the capital.

On the fourth day of May in the 41st year of Kangxi, Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Yi Yinzuo, and Lianjun Wang Yinhu jointly signed the book, and the memorial was clearly issued, requesting the reorganization of the navy to eliminate Japanese pirates and conquer the Japanese kingdom.After receiving the memorandum, Mr. Kangxi ordered the early fifth day of May to discuss the issue of the Navy, and ordered civil and military officials to come to the book to discuss the matter. For a while, the officials were busy inquiring about the news, and each prepared a copy, ready to go to the morning to discuss the matter.

On the fifth day of May in the 41st year of Kangxi, Yin Zuo took the lead as soon as the morning court began. Picking quarrels and making trouble, looting is useless, it has been judged that the disaster of the Japanese pirates originated from the Tokugawa shogunate of the Japanese country, if they are not punished, I am afraid that I will lose my face in the court, but my navy is weak, and my son will play Emperor Ama, In order to protect the safety of our shipping in the Qing Dynasty, I implore you to reorganize your navy and go on an expedition across the sea to eliminate future troubles."

As soon as Yinzuo's words fell, the fourteenth elder brother Yinti immediately came out and said: "Huang Ama, I think the words of the fourth brother are justified. These evil neighbors have repeatedly violated my heavenly power. How can I go to court if I don't punish them?" The prestige, my son is willing to lead a journey to destroy this court food, please give permission from Emperor Ama."

Fourteen years old, but sixteen years old, Su likes military affairs, and has always been favored by Mr. Kangxi. At this time, seeing the resolute look on Mr. Kangxi's face, Mr. Kangxi laughed and said: "I'm afraid it's not good for you to have such a heart. I'm so relieved." However, it is important to be a soldier in the country, and you must not be careless, do you have any suggestions?"

Miao Tong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "My lord, I have this letter to my lord: Now that the world is at peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it may be inappropriate to use weapons and soldiers rashly. I think there may be something wrong with the Japanese pirates. How dare a mere Japanese country do such a thing?" Regarding the matter of great rebellion, I beg your majesty to think twice."

Alas, this old antique jumped out to join in the fun again, and he didn't feel too tired to panic!Yinzuo really doesn't like Old Master Miao. This old man can be called a loyal disciple of Confucianism. He is too conservative and pedantic. But he can't help it, after all, this old man is Yinzuo's master.

The old man Kangxi asked with a smile: "What is meant by Miao Aiqing?"

"I thought that I should send envoys to the country of Wa to ask the truth before deciding where to go." Miao Tong replied respectfully.

Hey, this old master Miao is really cute and silly, send someone to ask, what a fart, wait until you send someone to ask, the day lily will be cold.Although Yinzuo hated him, he couldn't refute Miao Tong in court. After all, he still had to talk about respecting teachers. In desperation, he slightly tilted his head and sent a signal. Liu Siyuan, who had already understood it, stood up and said. : "My lord, I don't agree with what the minister said. The Japanese are cunning and cruel. They have ravaged our kingdom for a long time. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates have always been a big problem for me. Now that I am prosperous in the sea, I can't do it." Allow the Japanese to mess with my shipping, I implore the Holy One to make a clear decision."

Yu Chenglong, the new director of the General Administration of Customs, is probably the one who is most worried about the Japanese pirates' rebellion among the ministers, and he hastily stepped forward at this time: "My lord, I think Master Liu's words are justified, and now the customs lijin has reached 3000 million. The scale, if the Japanese pirates are rampant, the sharp drop in annual income may damage the foundation of the country, I agree with what Prince Yi said, we should reorganize our Qingshui division to promote our country's prestige."

Although the third child and the eighth child are also joint names, they will naturally not stand up to oppose this move, but they will not jump out to wave the flag for Yinzuo. It is naturally the best choice to keep silent, and the two of them have already got their own family. The master passed on the message and watched silently. As for Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other senior and prudent ministers in the study room, they would not express their views easily until they figured out the holy intention. At this time, the limelight in the hall is obviously beneficial to Yin Zuo.Although Yinzhen didn't intend to really compete with Yinzuo in the naval master's book, but he still wanted to cause Yinzuo some trouble, and at this moment he also stood up and said: "Huang Ama, I think the words of the sixth younger brother are true. It makes sense, but now it needs nearly 6000 million taels of silver to reorganize the navy at the expense of the sixth younger brother. Although the treasury is a little rich at this time, it can't bear this burden, hope the emperor Ama understands."

Damn, Xiao Wang, I knew you would come to this move, hey, we have been on guard against you for a long time.Yin Zuo then said: "Huang Ama, my son thinks that although what the fourth brother said is true, it will not take a year for the navy to be reorganized. Now my navy in the Qing Dynasty is divided into four divisions——Guangdong, In Fujian, Liangjiang, and Shandong, if all the ships are replaced at the same time, the silver taels needed will be huge and the supply of ships and sailors cannot be guaranteed. Erchen suggested that it can be divided into three steps: the first step is to build an army first to see the effect, and the silver taels needed But ten million. The second step is to use the newly-built army to test its effectiveness in actual combat. The third step is to replace the remaining three units in turn if it is feasible after the formation of the army. The overall plan will be completed in four years, and the annual investment is no more than ten thousand taels, which is not an exaggeration." Yin Zuo paused for a while and said: "The Emperor Ama Mingjian, my son made some money by shipping, if the Japanese pirates don't Except, there is no peace in shipping, and my minister is willing to donate 500 million taels of silver for military use. In addition, my son's fourteenth brother, Baozuo, presided over the reorganization of the navy to boost our country's prestige."

Grandpa Kangxi knew that Yinzuo's family was rich and rich, and he was not surprised to hear that Yinzuo voluntarily donated 500 million taels of silver. how?"

Ma Qi is an old householder, and the accounts are calculated very quickly. After deducting the 500 million taels donated by Yinzuo, the entire down payment only needs 500 million taels of silver. If he can really become an army, it is not bad, at least he can keep The annual income from sea transportation, this money is worth the money, so I care about it, bowed and said: "My lord, I think it is feasible."

Zhang Tingyu and others are also fine people. At this time, they can see that Mr. Kangxi is moved, so naturally they will not express any objection. They each agree with Yinzuo's suggestion. Seeing that all the ministers have no objections, Mr. Kangxi issued an edict to approve Zuo played, the fourteenth elder brother Yinti was responsible for rebuilding the navy, and the second phase of Yinzuo's thunder plan began.
