Seeing that Kangxi had changed the subject, Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Being able to recruit bannermen into military workshops to work is no different from giving bannermen the rules that prohibit the bannermen from engaging in other industries. In the future, there will be excuses to implement the reform of the Eight Banners system*

As for how to start the rectification of the flag business, he had not yet made any specific considerations. He pondered slightly, and said: "Return to the emperor, how to rectify the flag, I have not yet fully considered it. Recently, I have been using my spare time to visit the capital city, but it is mainly aimed at the lower-level bannermen. Since the livelihood of the bannermen has been settled, I will secretly investigate the situation of the powerful bannermen, and then calmly formulate a rectification plan."

After hearing this, Kangxi nodded and said, "For the king, you should visit people in a low-court manner from time to time to understand the sufferings of the people. Nowadays, officials are reporting good news but not bad news, and they cannot fully listen to their words." After saying that, he asked with interest: "How do you think of the life of the lower-level bannermen?"

"Stay at wandering and laziness, limited to food and clothing." Yinzhen said bluntly.

Kangxi didn't expect Yinzhen to say so directly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, pondered for a moment before saying, "Tell me in detail."

After pondering slightly, Yinzhen said: "When the bannermen in the lower level of the capital entered the pass, they divided the houses and fields, and had a little bit of property. Due to their poor management, dozens of acres of land had already been torn and clean. Although the court prohibited the transaction of the banner, they still used various methods to sell the land, rented and pawned the land when they were short of money. Nowadays, most families rely on the military salaries of their children in their families to make ends meet.

Because the world was peaceful and there was no war, the number of soldiers stationed in Beijing was limited. In order to prevent the bannermen from making a living, they gathered people to cause trouble, and officials from each banner distributed the number of soldiers equally, basically one household per household.

Because Ma Vest had to raise horses, the actual income was similar to that of Bu Jia, and only 20 stones of grain and twenty taels of silver a year. It was supported by a family of seven or eight. Since they lived in the inner city, they also hired a large cart to get coarse rice, pound rice, and buy water every year. Although these expenses were not large. Over the years, it was not a small amount. They had to hire someone to carry manure, but after the public toilet, the money was left.

In this case, the money and food obtained by the bannermen are only enough to solve the problem of food and clothing, and practicing riding and archery is a luxury. Moreover, no matter how exquisite riding and archery is, there is no quota for the A. After a long time, they will naturally become lazy and do nothing all day long, so they will be content with laziness.

But there are also a very small number of bannermen who make shoes or carvings to make a living, while women use embroidery or paper flowers to make up for their own plans. However, they all secretly momo and hide in every way.

Erchen wandered in the narrow alleys of the inner city. He once heard a rumor, 'How high the moon is tonight, riding a white horse, and crossing the waist knife. The waist knife is fast, chopping cabbage, old cabbage, chopping leather jacket, thick leather jacket, chopping lamb, fat lamb. Chop thief, barefoot on the Eight Banners, and having no jacket to worry, I used to buy kang mats as a kui, and the soy sauce rice is just radish skin. I see if you are anxious.'"

Hearing the bean sauce rice, he turned into a carrot peel. Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little moved. The court spent a lot of material and financial resources to "nourish" the bannermen. The life of the bannermen at the bottom was still so poor. He couldn't help but murmur: "Why is this so? Even if the price of the capital is expensive, twenty stones of rice a year and twenty taels of silver are enough to solve the food and clothing of a family of seven or eight."

Yinzhen was afraid that Kangxi would be angry, so he quickly replied: "Emperor, over the years, the bannermen have developed a superior atmosphere everywhere. Even if their family is poor and dressed in good clothes, it is essential. When they go out, they must be dressed well. There should be scenes, and they must be missing. For fear of being looked down upon by the people and losing the face of the bannermen, this is not only a vanity but also a way to maintain the dignity of the bannermen. The ministers really don't know how to comment."

After Yinzhen said this, Kangxi's mood also improved. The bannermen really wanted to suffer from face. Who would have thought that the streets would be so well-dressed when they were dressed in bright clothes. When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, they would be so eloquent when they returned home? Without correcting this trend, no matter how much money they had, they would not be able to withstand their troubles.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "To rectify the flag affairs, we must completely reverse their habit of vanity and comparison. Otherwise, when they have money, they will further encourage this bad habit. The dignity of the flag-men is not earned by showing off their broad minds, but is erected through fighting on the battlefield and countless victories."

"Can Emperor Ama issue an edict and admonish the bannermen?" Yinzhen said quickly.

Kangxi glanced at him and secretly laughed at the old fourteenth, who was very good at making up the flag, did not forget to put me in front of the rectification of the flag, but this matter should be strongly supported. At that moment, he said: "After the specific plan for rectifying the flag, I will give you an imperial edict, just let it go, without any scruples."

"My son, Xie Huang Ama, politely." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed, stood up, and smiled again: "The bannerman entered the workshop to work, and earned hard-earned money. I think he would not be so generous again."

"I hope this is the case." Kangxi nodded slightly and said in a deep thought: "The bannermen are so vain. If they let them work in the workshop, there may be conflicts. This matter can only be profitable and reasonable. You can discuss it in detail with the owners of the banner, princes and nobles of each banner, and mainly voluntarily. Do not force them to avoid other troubles."

"My son respects the order." Yinzhen said hurriedly, but he didn't care. Although the bannerman is very proud, how could he withstand the money of silver? He was worried that they would not do it?

"I heard that Song wishes to pray for returning home to retire today. Do I need my permission?" Kangxi asked suddenly.

Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this. Is Kangxi tempted? Or did he deliberately maintain his prestige? Songzhu was promoted by Kangxi, and he followed him to fight for Galdan's capable minister. Besides, who will Kangxi promote after Songzhu retreat? He will never promote his 14th party.

Yinzhen made a decision in an instant and bowed back and replied: "My son, Xie Huang Ama, was familiar with military affairs, and had been working in the local area for a long time. It is really rare to be able to be talented. Now it is less than 60 years old and strong. How can he return home? As the crown prince, if he has no demeanor or confidence, wouldn't he beg him to be laughed at? My son, begging Emperor Ama to fulfill his wish."

Kangxi said slightly: "The flag affairs are rectified, and the reform of the Eight Banners system will inevitably be opposed. I am worried that the old ministers in the court will know the taste. Since you are so confident, I will follow you." After that, he said a little tiredly: "Kneel down and rest assured."

"My son thanks Emperor Ama for his compassion, and I will leave." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed and said.

When he returned to Yuqing Palace, Yinzhen was still very happy and finally opened a hole in the Eight Banners system. What he had to do now is to slowly tear the hole wide. After walking around the hall for a few times, he called Bao Fuquan and ordered: "The condemnation person will inform Yinzhen to come over, and the condemnation person will notify the princes and nobles who are above the first-class prince in the capital to attend the morning court tomorrow." x!.
