Chapter 388 The clan’s relatives are anxious

Kangxi quietly glanced at the ministers in the hall, and sent troops to Europe and America. Since the generals were not determined, he had no intention of throwing them out in advance. He knew very well that many ministers in the court opposed the expedition. Those people were used to being at peace and only hoped to maintain the status quo and were afraid of taking some risks.

Back then, when the Three Feudals were pacified, the Taiwan conquered, and the three conquered Galdan, weren’t there any quarrels? It’s better to have money. Elder Eleven, who took action first and then sent a conquest to Nanyang. A eldest son did not need to be paid by the court, and he didn’t even give him a chance to oppose him.

After sighing lightly, Kangxi stomped his left foot slightly. When Li Dequan saw it, he quickly sang: "Stop the court."

After hearing this, the royal family, princes, nobles, civil and military ministers were disappointed. Kangxi did not mention the overseas ceasing. He would have to "seal" on the 21st day and open the seal again. He had to wait until the 20th day of the first lunar month. Dividing America is not a trivial matter. Naturally, the more you prepare, the better. More than a month of preparation time wasted, and everyone was naturally anxious.

As soon as Kangxi left the hall, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, the twelfth prince, the twelfth prince, the twelfth prince, the Yaerjiang A, Baotai, Chong'an and others leaned towards Yinzhen. The fifth prince Yinqi moved out and whispered, "Congratulations to the fourteenth brother." Then he continued, "What is the emperor's constitution for this overseas franchise? Maybe the fourteenth brother will report?"

Yinzhen said as he walked: "This matter is entirely based on the Emperor Ama Holy Decision. How can the Fourteenth be known?"

The twelfth prince Yinlu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, just let me miss it a little, otherwise, the fifth brother and the seventh brother would not have the heart to celebrate the New Year."

"It's not that Fourteen is responsible for this matter, Fourteen really doesn't know about it.

"Yinzhen said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to prepare. Just prepare more money and you will be prepared for any trouble."

"The 14th brother doesn't know anything." The seventh prince Yinyou took it over and said: "The Americas are so far away, you can't just rely on naval warships to transport it. You have to buy a large sailboat. Now this large sailboat is a hot commodity, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. This is the reason why the fifth brother is anxious. The number of sailboats determines the number of personnel and the amount of material.

Besides, since it is a group of people, everyone treats everyone equally. If you don’t pay for this money, you will also want to borrow it. The 14th brother is not in charge of the family and does not know that the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Now, which of these clan relatives are anxious to get angry?"

Yinzhen nodded slightly when he heard this. It seemed that all of these clans wanted to do a big fight. If you have to support this matter, support them is equivalent to supporting the navy. When expeditioning to the Americas, the larger the fleet, the better. In this way, all aspects can be guaranteed. He pondered a little, and then smiled and said, "Brother Qi said so much. In recent days, I have been talking about the emperor Ama. Whenever there is any news, I will notify you in time. Can you do it?"

"In this way, I'll have to work for the 14th brother." The seventh prince Yinyou said with a smile on his face.

Yaerjiang A immediately asked with a chance: "Fourth brother, I heard that the Navy has seized many Western sailboats in Southeast Asia. Can it be sold to us?"

"Your information is very informative." Yinzhen smiled and said, "Those sailboats are not ready to be sold, and the ocean trade fleet wants them, mainly to ensure the needs of the expedition to Europe."

When Yaerjiang A heard this, he was very disappointed, but he still thought to himself: "The naval artillery is so sharp that it can rob Western merchant ships in the South China Sea."

"If you do that, it is tantamount to killing a chicken to get eggs." Yinzhen said bluntly: "The Navy is the Qing Dynasty's economic and technological commander. Have you ever thought about it? Once the navy robbed merchant ships, who would dare to trade in the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty's ocean-going fleet will inevitably be robbed by other countries' navies.

Such a vicious cycle will greatly restrict overseas trade. The Qing Dynasty has huge profits in overseas trade every year, so we cannot afford to lose. I would rather slow down the overseas expansion than do things that would damage overseas trade."

Seeing that Yinzhen looked bad, Baotai hurriedly smiled and said, "Fourth brother calmed down. He was so anxious that he was speechless."

Yinzhen slowed down his face and said, "Overseas brigades are inseparable from overseas trade. In the future, all overseas brigades will have their own merchant fleets. Without a good maritime order, we will suffer the final loss. You must understand this matter, and don't just see a little bit of small profit in front of you."

"What the Fourteenth brother said," Yaerjiang A immediately turned around. Whether it was understandable or not, the Fourteenth brother could not offend him. His son Wu Ge's future was in the hands of the Fourteenth brother. He smiled and said, "It's still the Fourteenth brother who is far-sighted, but we only see the tip of our noses, which is really ashamed."

As soon as the group walked out of the hall, Li Dequan hurried over, bowed to everyone, and said, "Fourth Master, the emperor is in the East Warehouse Pavilion, and he is calling to enter."

Once something happened, Kangxi would call him to join after the court was dispersed. Yinzhen got used to it. He bowed to everyone and then walked towards the East Warm Pavilion.

Seeing Yinzhen's back, the princes were envious. The fourteenth son's family was really useless to say, but Yinlu said very depressedly: "I wonder if the overseas eviction is only for the offspring?"

So far, the twelfth brother Yinlu has given birth to a total of three daughters, but except for the adult daughter, all the other three sons died young. When the seventh prince Yinyou heard this, he was afraid that he would be sad, so he quickly said, "That should be for the clan relatives, and the prince may be exceptions." As he said that, he changed the subject and said, "Fifth brother, can you get a thousand slaves under your command?"

"There is no problem for people." The fifth prince Yinqi sighed and said, "Silver is the big problem. A three-masted sailboat has risen to 120,000 taels per ship."

When talking about the price of the ship, Prince Kang Xiu Chong'an immediately asked, "How much does a warship cost each?"

Yaerjiang A smiled and said, "Little warships like the navy, even the artillery cannons are about 400,000 yuan. However, now I can't buy them even if I have money. Let's talk about it for two years."

"Haha, the Navy is really rich." Chong'an chuckled: "It's more cost-effective for merchant ships."

The East Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi sat cross-legged on the big kang, sipping tea leisurely. When he saw Yinzhen coming in to salute, he put down the tea cup and smiled and said, "Please sit flat." After Yinzhen sat down, he said warmly: "Last time, when you mentioned the issue of national harmony, I decided to rectify the flag affairs, but I have never had a suitable candidate. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable.

The flag people are the cornerstone of the country and should not be abandoned lightly. It is imperative to rectify the flag affairs and is urgent. Now that I have a wealth of money, I don’t want to leave the burden of the flag people to future generations. The more delayed this matter, the harder it is to cure.

Reorganizing the banner affairs and planning the livelihood of the Eight Banners is the primary government affairs of the court. You don’t need to worry. Even if you let it go, I will definitely support you strongly.”
