Chapter 234 Arrangement
On the tenth day of September, when Kangxi returned to the palace, the first thing he did was not to dispatch troops to support the Xichuan garrison, but to make some personnel adjustments. Nian Xiyao, the former left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the Prime Minister of the Fengchen Academy of Internal Affairs and concurrently served as the Construction Department. The principal is officially enshrined in the inner court.The former court painter Lang Shining was promoted to be a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and concurrently served as a court painter, becoming the No. 1 foreigner involved in Chinese officialdom.

In addition, some people were selected from the Hanlin Academy, led by Zhang Tingyu to form a writing group, set up a studio in Wenyuan Pavilion, and began to compile "Kangxi Dictionary".Prepare to use the national collections of books to complete this masterpiece.Those who originally wrote preschool education books also moved to the Wenyuan Pavilion studio.Here gradually formed a national editorial department.

Immediately afterwards, Kangxi turned his target to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Yinzhen was originally the right servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to reason, the servant is the first-level official under the Shangshu. That's right.When Yinhu was in the Ministry of Officials, there were more than [-] doctors and writers under him.With such a team serving him, it's no wonder that this kid is like a fish in water, so he can do whatever he wants!Anyway, the salary is paid by the Ministry of Households, so he doesn't need to support him.

This is why there is a natural enmity between the household department and the official department, and the reason why officials tend to favor the official department. Yinhu is given a job, and he can be a civil servant if he likes it. There is no limit on the number of people. For wages, when there are too many people, the burden of salary increases, and there is no way to sting the door. There are no welfare subsidies at all. The officials are poor, and the officials in Beijing are miserable. , Not satisfied with a lot of extra money, corruption and perversion of the law, all kinds of poisons, Beijing officials don't talk about oil and water, whether they can get full salary depends on the mood of the small officials of the household department, sometimes, some officials are late for salary, then As soon as the side door is closed, it will be early morning next month.

Yinzhen is not only picky on the officials, but also on himself. The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the taxation of the whole country, and the complexity of it can be imagined. The people under him are the fewest in all departments. When asked about him, he also said confidently: " Taxation is the foundation of the country, how can everyone get their hands on it?" Everything has been done by himself, which has led to a situation where, except for him and his confidants, everyone is passive and sabotage.

He can criticize everything. If you are not your confidant, you can point fingers and worry about everything. It would be better for you to do it all by yourself. We don’t need to show anything in front of the emperor. It would be great if the prince is willing to share our worries. Anyway, the Ministry of Households is regarded as the cleanest Qingshui Yamen among the six departments. The imperial court loses most of its taxes every year. Wars, famines, emperors do good deeds every day, and local officials fill their pockets. The appearance of a miser is even more pitiful to outsiders.

This situation has developed to the present, and Kangxi can't see it anymore. This child, Yinzhen, is a muscle. He only knows how to cultivate his confidantes, but he doesn't know how to control people other than his confidants. This is the embodiment of the ability of a superior.Regarding this point, Kangxi had to admit that Yinhu was a genius and learned without a teacher.As for Yinzhen, he could only drive the ducks to the shelves, forcing him to change his mind.

The old man personally made an order not to recruit new people from outside, but to select personnel from the lowest level of Yuanwailang in each ministry to add to the household department, and it was clearly stipulated that these people were not allowed to be transferred outside for three years.Yinzhen frowned, what's the matter, the old man is using my site as a garbage transfer station?Yuanwailang from various ministries?They are all scholars who only eat and don't work. He Yinzhen hates this kind of people the most.

In the early Qing Dynasty, there was a tax called "land tax". Except for officials, other people such as merchants, handicraftsmen, farmers, etc. had to pay a certain amount of land tax. Everyone rejoiced when there was no tax increase.

However, there is a kind of occupation that people do not need to pay land tax. This kind of people are scholars. As long as they have a student status certificate from a local school, they will be exempt from tax for life unless they leave their student status or are convicted of a crime.Such regulations were originally intended to stabilize the mood of intellectuals in the late Ming Dynasty, and secondly, they were also intended to reflect the ruling class's willingness to get close to the culture of the Central Plains and agree with the way of Confucius and Mencius.Therefore, scholars had a lot of preferential treatment in the early Qing Dynasty.Of course, their supervision is also very strict.

Scholars do not pay taxes, which is absolutely absurd in Yinzhen's view. Scholars do not cultivate land and do business, so they cannot generate wealth value. What's more, their only way out is the imperial examination. People who can get out of this road every year It is even rarer, and the remaining mortal beings do not have to pay taxes. Isn't this looking at a big cake but not being able to eat it?
With such a shortage of money in the treasury, do you think he can not hate this group of "privileged classes?" Therefore, Yinzhen is very resistant to this move of Kangxi. Due to the power of the emperor, he can only hold his anger in his heart Of course, these people are destined to be marginalized in the household department.

After doing all this, Lao Kang set his sights on the war in the northwest. Yinzhen's entry into Sichuan did not change the will of Gerdan's nephew, and he endured the outbreak for decades. Its destructive power is astonishing.Moreover, they were all born in Mongols. They had no military discipline at all. They burned, killed and looted everywhere, bullied men and women, and worked together with the bandits who had been entrenched in the past. They almost didn't need to get in touch, and they could display their powerful combat effectiveness in an instant.

King Xinjun obtained Kangxi's secret decree, advocating defense rather than attacking, and preserving the vitality to wait for the counterattack.Yinzhen is not the case, young and bloody, how can he watch others bully him on top of his head, after the two sides collided several times, both sides suffered casualties, and then, terrible things happened as Kangxi expected, those under Yinzhen's hands The soldiers mutinied.

Poor Yinzhen didn't understand why he fed them and helped them train. As a result, they couldn't resist the temptation and were fooled by the other party.As a result, the situation in Sichuan has become more complicated and tends to worsen.At the beginning, people who deserted soldiers appeared in the mainland by crossing the Shu Road, which was difficult to reach the blue sky.

The best time that Kangxi thought came at this juncture.Nian Gengyao left Beijing to take up the post of governor of Sichuan, and unified the province's military force. Yinzhen and Xinjun Wang were both vanguard generals, assisting the new governor in battle. Kangxi gave Nian Gengyao the supreme power in Sichuan Province, wearing yellow jackets and inlaid with eight treasures A golden saber.Armed to the teeth.Moreover, Kangxi had ordered the Shaanxi garrison to gather at the Sichuan-Shanxi border before this, and prepare to march with his attendants.These people are the armed forces that Kangxi began to prepare in his early years.

After finishing these things, Kangxi took the children to hide in Changchun Garden again.This time, he brought the Queen Mother, and Wang Guiren and Chen Guiren.These two are the new favorites of the past few years. Wang Guiren gave birth to three sons, the fifteenth elder brother is about to get married, and the sixteenth elder brother has survived the catastrophe, but the youngest elder brother died last year at the age of seven.It was a comfort to bring her this time.

The Empress Dowager gave Kangxi a look at the list of embroidered women selected this year. Kangxi flipped through it casually, and he knew the candidates. Nodded, picked up a stack of papers intentionally or unintentionally: "Aijia always feels restless today, often can't sleep at night, and the imperial doctor can't figure it out. Fortunately, with these scriptures, the emperor has a look. better?"

Kangxi suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager reminded him that Guo Luoluo was still locked up at home!It's just that Lao Kang doesn't want to release her right now, so Lao Kang smiled and said, "Emperor Niang, when I asked you to change Guo Luoluo's punishment to confinement in the Buddhist hall, part of the reason was to let her stay in the temple." Before the Buddha, pray for Er Niang, Er Niang is getting old, and her son is busy with government affairs, and I may not have time to take care of..."

The queen mother waved her hand: "Ai's family mentioned her to you, not to interfere with your decision. Just, don't forget to promise Ai's family." Kangxi nodded: "My son will save me."

When the time came to October, and the release of Qiu Wei's rankings was just around the corner, Kangxi was also very concerned about the results of this competition.When Yinreng was the prince, Dabi could make Jiangnan complain every time.This time, Yinfeng resigned, and Kangxi specially sent Wenyuange University Scholars to form a marking team, who parachuted into Liangjiang Governor's Mansion to be responsible for marking the papers.

Kangxi also paid attention to this imperial examination because of the Yimen students who have been appearing in the secret books of Suzhou weaving recently, known as the model of Jiangnan scholars, what about the results?

After returning from the summer vacation, Yinhu continued to suspend his job. His thoughts also drifted to Jiangnan, and the rankings were about to be released. Of course, he also wanted to know if the students of Yimen could make a big splash?The wife in the Buddhist hall, she must also want to know the result, right?She has always been very concerned about Yimen, guiding them in disaster relief, guiding them to apply what they have learned, and even writing training for them, so that Ke An sent soldiers to Yimen to exercise the students' physical fitness and team awareness.

Minzhi regards Yimen Academy as a modern full-time institution, and shoulders the responsibility from elementary school to university. After all, after being named on the gold list, he will become an official and a civil servant, so he has no more time to accumulate social experience.Modern people face the college entrance examination 12 years later, and after the exam, they can go on to further studies. As long as they are willing and the family is willing, they will be completely dependent on others for ten or twenty years.But these Yimen students are different. Their goal is to serve the country. Minzhi told every student about Yimen's school-running philosophy through He Zhuo.

Yinhu never interfered with Minzhi's arrangements. In his subconscious mind, his wife must have had her intentions in doing these things. His wife seemed to have a better understanding of Jiangnan's game of chess than he did.The only thing that worries him is that he is no longer in the Ministry of Officials. Even if these children can be selected into the Hanlin Academy in the future, their future is completely out of his control.

October [-]th finally ushered in the release day, but the result surprised everyone.
