Chapter 31 Kangxi's Means
A group of Long Zi and Long Suns with yellow belts and red belts on the streets of Beijing quickly caused a sensation. This was a rare Western scenery in decades. Hundreds of young men chased each other along the street and shouted and ran wildly along the street. It was spectacular and attracted countless people to watch, but no one knew what had happened.
The soldiers patrolling the five cities of the military commanders and the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture were also alarmed. They were shocked when they saw this. These young masters were all not good at it. They pulled out one of them and stomped their feet and the streets were shaking. Today, a group of people suddenly appeared, and they chased each other straight for Fucheng Gate. Those soldiers and yamen runners had never seen such a strange situation. They all thought that something big happened, and they followed them and chased them. [The latest updates in search are all here.]
There were also many people on the street who were familiar with this group of young masters. When they saw this, they thought that the opportunity to show their gratitude was coming, so they followed behind and chased after them.
As a result, the team of 100 people suddenly became hundreds of people, running on the streets in a mighty manner. The timid one quickly closed the stall and closed the door and lay down under the window to peek under the window, and followed them with courage all the way to watch the fun.
After running for a while, the soldiers and yamen runners discovered the whole story, and they stopped to maintain order with laughter and cry. The chaotic situation on the street slowly calmed down.
The initiator Yinzhen was also amused and crying in the Hengbeile Mansion at this time, but another group of second-generation ancestors came. Although they were not comparable to those of the young masters in front of them, their identities should not be underestimated. They were either relatives from the remote branch or the children of senior officials in the court. Yinzhen was completely speechless. What method did Kangxi use? What kind of method could it stimulate these second-generation ancestors of the dragon, phoenix, and grandson come to join the navy one after another?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. Yinzhen was so lazy that he was tired of it. He waved his hand and sent the group of second-generation ancestors out, and then sent someone to call Zheng Shichang to recruit craftsmen, and the migrant workers could no longer be delayed.
In just two cups of tea, Alin brought back a dozen lazy and sloppy. Yinzhen walked around the dozen young masters and sneered: "You dozens of you seem to be smart people, but the Qing Navy does not need such smart people. Please come back, you." At this point, his face darkened, "Come and see off the guests."
These young men who are usually powerful are stunned when they hear this. What will happen if they go back like this? When they think of the old man's words of repeated instructions, they are immediately anxious, pleading, and scammers. A few of them just burst into tears and play the card of tragedy.
Yinzhen was lazy to pay attention and ordered his servants to drive them all out. Then he called Haifeng to fully count the results of the ten-kilometer training, register the qualified ones, and disregard the unqualified ones. Then he carried his hand to the backyard to comfort the concubines. He was about to travel far, and as an imperial envoy, he could not bring his family. Yinzhen has not squeezed out time to comfort the four wives in the backyard these days.
The genius Ma Hei, Yinzhen and four wives, were enjoying a candlelight dinner in the backyard. Bao Fuquan hurriedly ran in and destroyed the romantic and warm atmosphere that Yinzhen finally created. Yinzhen frowned in displeasure, "What's the matter?"
Bao Fuquan's mouth seemed to have a bitter olive in his mouth, and his face was full of bitterness. He knew that it was not the time to come in. "Master, I really have no choice. Three princes came in front of me, and all the slaves asked them to have tea in the side hall to wait. But in the blink of an eye, two more princes came, and Prince Jian also came..."
When Yinzhen heard this, he understood what happened, "Call Haifeng right away."
Haifeng had already been outside, and he heard this and hurriedly presented the statistics. Yinzhen took it and saw that the two groups of people were qualified in total, which was less than half. It seemed that these people were all here to hit the wooden clock.
After sighing, Yinzhen felt very helpless. They were so anxious. I believe Kangxi made great promises to them. There were more than a hundred people who failed the two groups. How many royal family members would be involved in the future? If I were serious, I was afraid that I would be unable to move forward in the future.
He shook his head with a wry smile, and Yinzhen ordered: "Please invite them all to the main hall, I'll arrive immediately."
As soon as Yinzhen entered the main hall, several dukes and Beile came up to us. Although Prince Jian Yaerjiang A was self-controlled, he also took two steps. After a greeting, Prince Heshuo Jian Yaerjiang A said, "Fourteen, your nephew Xiaosi, is only two years younger than you, and is not a good source of study. You know you are idle all day long and you are troubled everywhere, which makes your brother Wang uneasy and have a headache. Just treat it as sympathetic to Brother Wang and take him to the navy. It is a clean sight, and your brother will be purified for a few days."
After hearing what Yaer Jiang A said, Yinzhen had to smile bitterly. However, before coming in, he had already had a scheming in his heart, "Brother Wang, it's not that the Fourteenth is pretentious. The Navy is going to go out to sea to suppress the thieves. If something unexpected happens, how can you see you?"
Yaer Jiang A frowned, "That's fourteenth thing is wrong. Which of our wealth and honor is not made by real swords and guns? Wealth and honor are in danger. Wu Ge dares to be afraid of war, so there is no need for fourteen to do it. I will kill him personally."
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Brother Wang taught him a lesson, but now the navy is inaugurated, and there is no warship. Fourteen is the first time he is working on the job. He has no experience or any relationship. He doesn't know where to get the raw materials such as wood, coal and iron. He doesn't know where to find the shipbuilding and cannon craftsmen and civilians. To be honest, Fourteen himself is not sure about the new navy. Why should Brother Wang force the Wu Ge into it?"
"Fourteen, your idea is wrong again." Yaer Jiang A smiled and said, "It's okay, your brother Wang has it. Since Wu Ge has entered the navy, how can you stand by and watch? When I go back, I will write a letter to the servants who are officials in various places, asking them to find a way to raise..."
Seeing that Yaerjiang A was so upright, Yinzhen hurriedly took over the conversation, "Brother Wang, don't worry, as long as the raw materials and cash on delivery, all the personnel sent by the fourteen will be properly arranged."
"Haha, that's good." Yaer Jianga said and stood up, "You have a job, so Brother Wang won't disturb you."
The remaining dukes in the house, Beile, were not a human being. Before Yinzhen could speak, they patted their chests and said that they had a way to transport raw materials and personnel to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen refused everyone, and took all the paper notes before sending them away. He was not afraid that they would speak verbally, and that his sons would be held in his hands in the future.
Before these dukes Beile left the gate, a guest came to the door. Yinzhen welcomed the guests into the main hall with a smile on his face. Who among these royal family members, who had few servants and servants who were officials in other places? This is all about it.
One night, I saw one group after another, which made Yinzhen half tired, but when I saw the thick stack of records, he was so happy. Of course, he also had a new understanding of Kangxi's methods.
Kangxi's move was not an ordinary bull. Not only did he firmly control the navy, but he also vaguely mobilized the national strength to help him build an ocean-going fleet, and it also made everyone suffer. High, really high! But in this way, the Qing navy would become the unique aristocratic navy in the world.
Well, tomorrow, those who have passed the selection will also be beaten and beat them well, and don’t waste resources! Yinzhen fell asleep with this idea.
