Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 100

The emperor's concern has always been the focus of the officials of the six ministries.With his supervision, a series of regulations were drawn up at a flying speed.

On a certain level, Kangxi was a relatively open emperor.If he was half of Han blood like Li Shimin, and he could justifiably own the Han family, he would not be so wary of Han people. Maybe the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity could be transformed into another Zhenguan rule.

But there are never any ifs in everything. Although Tong Jia's family is the banner of the Han army, he is an out-and-out Manchu.

Closer to home, the fact that the Han nation has been able to lead all nations for thousands of years proves that it is an excellent nation in itself.The ingenuity and wisdom of its people cannot be wiped out by the Qing army entering the pass and killing them.The emperor ordered, and the ministers racked their brains, and the many regulations they came up with surprised him.

In the booklet that Li Guangdi handed in, it was clearly written that heavy taxes would be imposed on foreign goods.And listed the more appropriate tax rate after discussion by the Ministry of Households: the number of five or five.

That is to say, foreigners earned two taels of silver, and one tael had to be handed over to the Qing treasury.

"Your Majesty, I am in heaven, and it is unpretentious to do so."

Fourth Master lowered his head and silently listened to the verbal battle in front of him.In fact, in his heart, [-]% would be too light.These foreign devils finally broke into the Forbidden City.The hometown was copied, and it is conceivable how much wealth they stole from the Qing Dynasty.

Since they are willing to cross the waves of the sea and travel thousands of miles to do business, they must earn more than this amount.But those who raised their opinions earlier were mostly from the Prince's faction.Manchu people have a good face, and doing so just caters to their wishes.

After all, the second brother was too kind. He was escorted by Huang Ama all the way, and he knew too little about those dark sides.

As for the eldest brother, he is currently immersed in the grief of his sister-in-law's death.

Mingzhu speculated on the Holy Will and tried her best to persuade him to go to the south to lead the army.On the one hand, the elder brother can't bear to let go of the child, on the other hand, he is really touched by the scene in the capital.Mingzhu had no choice but to pass the news to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui happily asked her grandchildren to enter the palace to accompany her old man.

Yinzhen summed it up, presumably the balance in the elder brother's heart has tilted.

"Only foreigners crawling under their feet can show the majesty of my country. The emperor has always been kind, and this tax will definitely clean up the floods in the Yellow River and Huaihe River, and relieve the displaced victims of natural disasters. All people in the world will be grateful to the emperor for his kindness. "

When Li Guangdi said this, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched.

"The emperor is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I think that the people of the Qing Dynasty will live well, and foreigners will see it. At that time, they will travel across the ocean to promote the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and praise your kindness."

The reason is very good, Kangxi is very excited.The truth is indeed like this, the minds of people who are not of our race must be different.So in Kangxi's heart, Manchu is the most important.But now that the Qing Dynasty has taken over the world, the Han people are also his subjects.Compared with the foreigners, the Han people are of course more important. If the money collected from Baihuahua is of course given to others first, the rest will benefit the people of the Qing Dynasty.It was a good idea, and he was more than happy.

"Quite."

Li Guangdi fell to his knees and thanked the Lord for his kindness, but he gave Fei Yanggu a thumbs up in his heart.As expected of the former admiral of the Nine Schools and the confidant of the Holy One, he has a way of thinking about the saint's mind.If I owe him a favor, I will have to care more about Ulanara Wuge in the future.

Unlike the Han people, the nomadic Manchus are aggressive in their bones.

The emperor even said that he could collect money, and they were more active than anyone else.This group of men got active, and of course things went on smoothly.

Kangxi decreed that only some daily necessities were allowed at the first-generation port in Guangzhou.Set up treaty ports in Quanzhou, Fujian and Ningbo, Zhejiang, and established the Qing Customs Office to strictly examine the goods entering the customs.

At this time, the wisdom of the Han people was reflected. They proposed to set up checkpoints in important cities in the interior.

"Foreigners are full of tricks, and they may slip through the net."

Kangxi was pressing the booklet at the time, but when he received the first batch of customs silver, he immediately agreed to play it.

In this way, a complete set of customs offices was built in full swing.

The foreigners felt bitter in their mouths.Ceramics is a huge profit industry. As long as an exquisite bottle is shipped back to the country and resold, it will be thousands of times the profit.Basically, if you do it once, you can eat it for several lifetimes.The problem is, once they get it, they don't want to let it go.

Daqing deducted half, and the profit was still very high, so of course they rushed to do it.There is no difference between earning 10 taels and 5 taels, they are both earning a lot.

But some people made them unhappy. The fleet of the Dutch East India Company was attacked by Japanese pirates near the Diaoyu Islands after passing through the Taiwan Strait with great difficulty.

Only one ship in the fleet managed to escape, and Duke Philip was furious.Biting the ripe and bloodshot filet mignon, he asked the customs officials on shore to submit his credentials, requesting protection.

Guoshu is very tactful, but Westerners always speak straightforwardly, and the tactful tone seems too straightforward to Kangxi.

The general meaning is that we have cooperated and paid so much money, and you have to help no matter what.

The theory of the Celestial Empire came out again, and after some verbal battles, Kangxi agreed.The originally planned dispatch of troops finally came to fruition.The elder brother was ordered to lead troops to assist the governor of Fujian in dealing with the Japanese pirates.

The elder brother readily accepted and was gearing up.In the past six months, he has been bored to death, and he just happened to vent his anger on those Japanese wanderers.

**
In Tong's mansion, Longkodo has made a lot of progress recently.

There is no other reason, Qiqige likes the kind of handsome young man who is full of poems and books, he studies hard day and night just to be crushed once.

Tong Guowei was very satisfied, and turned a blind eye to Qi Qige's unruly behavior.In fact, as time passed, he also found that Qiqige was not difficult to get along with.Just tell her directly if you have something to say, and she usually won't refuse.

"Qiqige, your voice is too loud, disturbing Yue Xing'a's study."

With regard to this sentence, when Yue Xing'a was studying in the future, Qi Qige would always speak softly.

Taking advantage of the army's expedition this time, Tong Guowei finally found a chance.Putting down his old face and begging for a while, Kangxi remembered his biological mother who died young, and finally let him stuff Longkodo in.

For the expedition, Longkodo was extremely reluctant.

Qiqige was very forthright: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yue Xing'a."

"But……."

Longkodo rubbed the hem of his clothes, and a pair of white hands that Yin Qiqige liked raised her big palm carefully.He felt a rough feeling in the palm of his hand, and his heart fluttered for a while.

"Aren't you reluctant to part with Master?"

Although these words are very manly, but his tone is very tactful, and the word "ye" even elongated the ending sound.He said "other people" once, but Qiqige didn't like to hear it and threw him off the bed.

"Of course I don't want to bear it, but a man should make achievements and not love his sons and daughters.

Even if you are a high official or not, I will not dislike you.But Yue Xing'ah wants to enter the court in the future, he must have a decent Ama. "

What a Qiqige who thinks about him, cares about him and Yue Xing'a, but at the same time doesn't dislike him for his incompetence.Long Keduo, who had finished his brain, was so moved that he almost knelt down to promise her.

"Don't worry, I will definitely earn some credit for you two!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you. I carry this whip close to my body. Take it and he will cut down a few more enemies!"

Longkodo was pleasantly surprised, he began to fantasize, holding the whip in his palm and rubbing his stiffness.It felt like Qiqige had never left his side.

"Okay, you spend more time with Ama Erniang, they are getting old."

What a filial person, Longkodo was even more moved.After sending him away with a few words, Qiqige entered the room and saw Yue Xing'a writing.

"I did everything according to what you said. By the way, why do you want me to give you the whip, Ama? I'm so reluctant."

Only in the past six months, Yue Xing'a ate well and slept well, and his height seemed to grow, and now he has reached Qiqige's chest.

"In this way, Ama will always think about you. Qiqige, look at my handwriting and see if there is any progress."

Qiqige picked it up, and sure enough, Fangfangzheng has made great progress.

"Yue Xing is really amazing."

Looking at the happy Qiqige, Yue Xing'a felt indescribably satisfied.Ama must have been away for a long time, and he was really afraid that he would find someone like Si'er again.With a whip by her side, Ama should not dare to mess around.

The little maid raised the curtain: "Master, Aunt Si'er has a fever."

Yue Xing'a flinched a little, Qi Qige picked him up with one hand, and yelled at the servant girl: "Didn't I say, don't mention her in front of Yue Xing'a, did you ignore my words?"

Facing Yue Xing'a, she lowered her voice: "It's okay, I really didn't expect Si'er to be so bad. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

After she finished speaking, she started and took out a bottle: "Give this to her, let her have a good taste."

After coming to Tong Mansion for half a year, no matter how stupid Qi Qige is, with Yue Xing'a talking beside her, she also knows Si'er's true colors.She has always been jealous of evil, so she naturally used all the tricks taught by Er Niang on Sier's head.

After questioning Yue Xing'a carefully, she returned one item after another.

Si'er didn't give Yue Xing'ah something to eat, so she gave her the slop that the people in Tong's Zhuangzi fed pigs.

Si'er bribed the slaves to act as a dominance, she ordered people to take her out every now and then, and organized the beggars to insult her collectively.

Si'er likes to wear clothes made of good material, so she chooses the roughest fabric and replaces all the bedding on her bed with straw.

If she treated others like this, she would have been scolded by thousands of people long ago.However, the target of her rectification is Si'er, and everyone in the mansion from Tong Guowei down clapped their hands and cheered.

Long Kedo didn't dare to control it. Ever since he knew about Si'er, he was very angry because of empathy.So he not only ignored it, but helped Qiqige find a beggar to spread straw.

"Is that longevity cream, something that the emperor forbids to use?"

Qiqige hugged Yue Xing'a and nodded: "Yes, she originally wanted to use it for you, but was discovered by your Ama's people."

"Qiqige, you are so kind."

At first he just wanted to use Qiqige, but again and again, this rough woman kept protecting him.Compared with Erniang, who wanted to take advantage of him, and Ama, who was indifferent to him to the end, Qiqige was the closest person to him.

**
Tongfu Xiyuan, a low house among the weeds.Even though she was unconscious due to high fever, Si'er subconsciously scratched the itch.The straw under his body was already covered with blood.

But all this can't trouble Si'er who came from the bottom. She is not a child of Hesheli's family, she was bought from outside.She used to sleep on straws every day, so after gaining power and then losing power, she didn't feel too much gap in her heart.

It's just that the sudden loss of favorable conditions really made her unbearable.The reason why he works so hard to climb up is that he wants to enjoy wealth and the feeling of master's random manipulation.But now, all the clothes and food are gone.

She felt life passing by.

No, she doesn't want to die yet.After so long, Si'er also figured out that what Long Kedo likes is actually her arrogance.

No, he was just fascinated for a while, she will definitely be stronger than Qiqige and win his heart again.

The arrival of drugs happened to save her life.After the pain stopped, she finally stopped scratching.The slowly healing wound and the gradually cooling weather also allowed her to escape the most dangerous infection period.It was only after waking up that she learned that Longkoduo was going on an expedition and would not be back for a short time, she began to regret it again.

Living like this now is more uncomfortable than letting her die.
