Chapter 876

The main purpose of the sea ban was to eliminate some rebellious forces, because the people along the coast at that time would use maritime activities to relieve those forces that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they could fight against pirates and smuggling, so as to ensure the stability of the society at that time.

Because some foreigners came to the Qing Dynasty to do business and trade at that time, and there was an increasing trend, so various obstacles were set up and strict maritime ban policies were implemented.

As early as when Fourth Master was still Prince Yong in the feudal mansion, the treasury of the household department suffered serious losses every year, unable to make ends meet, and had a serious financial deficit.

For the fourth master who wants to make a big difference after succeeding to the throne, financial support is naturally indispensable, so where does the money come from?

You can't let the court and bandits rob you like that, right?
So the fourth master at the beginning of his enthronement was faced with trifles such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and the national treasury was seriously short of money.

What he took over was the Qing Dynasty, which was poor and couldn't make ends meet.

How to make money, such a philistine thing, has become the number one priority of fourth master after he ascended the throne.It feels ridiculous to say it.

In fact, as early as the middle and late Kangxi Dynasty, because of the strict sea ban, the once-rich Fujian and Guangdong suffered a famine, and there were also tragedies of scrambling for food that caused casualties.

The root of all these tragedies lies in the national policy of banning the sea established by Lord Kangxi back then. Coastal residents rely on the sea and cannot eat the sea, but they are starving while guarding such a cornucopia.

After the second sea ban was imposed in the 56th year of Kangxi, it aroused the unanimous dissatisfaction of the coastal people and businessmen. In the end, Guangdong, Fujian and other places appeared densely populated and narrow, and the rural areas were not enough for farming. The once most affluent places became How sad for such a tragic scene.

However, even though he agreed to lift the sea ban, Fourth Master still issued certain restrictions. Otherwise, the people in the coastal areas would go overseas to develop and would not want to come back when they saw that the opening of the sea trade would make a lot of money. Yes, after all, food is what matters to the people.

Although Siye was reprimanded by those elites as unfilial and greedy for good things in terms of the policy of abolishing the sea ban, his innovations quickly reversed the poverty situation in the coastal areas, and his opening of the sea ban was unanimously supported by the majority of coastal people.

Looking at the fourth master's half life, to be honest, in the Qing Dynasty, there were not many people who really said good things about the fourth master. In the writings of historians, what spoke about him most was his strict and tyrannical working methods.

It's even more lively when it comes to Unofficial History. The scandal of listening to the wind is the rain has been picked up all over again, not only the rumors of killing brothers and killing Lord Kangxi, but also not only the rumors with Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wuzheng's Han women Love to hate fancy things.

Even Hongli, the dearest son of fourth master, was arranged in the unofficial history as the son of an official surnamed Chen, so dark that he wanted to be his father.

Facing the difficult situation of the Qing Dynasty, he didn't hide his impoliteness, directly thundered and thundered, and came to the most brutal shock therapy. On the one hand, he launched a bank to support honesty and high salaries to support honesty, and on the other hand, he fought hard against corruption.

What's more, people also grab money and take it. When corruption is discovered, the family ruled by people is ruined, and he is also ruined by money.

A series of related major cases have been caught, such as the Cao family in Jiangning, which was ruined and killed, which inspired a certain child of the family to work hard and write the classic "Dream of Red Mansions". .

The implementation of the sharing of Ding Ding into the mu, from then on, farmers pay taxes, and finally bid farewell to the privileged hierarchy, whoever has money will pay more, and then the government and the people will pay the same amount of food, what is the significance of this?

 Who do you want to watch?

  I will write a side story next month.

  see you tomorrow
