The law was heard and the people were not punished. The nobles were all excited and started to talk. When they went to the study room, they immediately became lively like a vegetable market. Seeing this, Ma Qi couldn't help but frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhu at the same time.

Song Zhu was born in a military army, with a high prestige and a relatively straightforward temperament. He stood up and sang: "Everyone, this is going to the study room. There must be no noise in the palace, and it is carefully violated the etiquette."

After hearing this, the nobles immediately calmed down. Xiao Yongzao glanced at everyone, then said with a smile: "Don't just focus on the little interests in front of you. The Qing Dynasty is now expanding rapidly, and the number of soldiers and officials will also increase significantly. The Eight Banners official schools have gradually increased since the previous year. Now, the Imperial College, Zongxue, Jueluo School, Eight Banners official schools, and Western Schools in the capital have expanded more than doubled in terms of quantity and scale. You must have not noticed it.

As for the population of the inner city, I don’t know where to start with the overcrowded people? In recent years, the continuous transfer of the Navy, the New Guards, and the Tianjin Army Workshops, especially this year, a large number of people have been sent to America. The population of the inner city has dropped sharply, and even if we fill another 30,000 or 50,000 bannermen in, it is quite generous."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Expanding the Eight Banners will not infringe on your rights at all. Where does your glory and prestige come from? Isn't it just a shout? If no one is available, how can there be glory and prestige?"

After hearing these words, the nobles couldn't help but say for a long time. These words were not at all water and thoughtful. They rarely paid attention to all kinds of official schools in the capital, but they had heard of the expansion of official schools. The population of the inner city has been constantly being adjusted in the past two years. In this way, the expansion of the Eight Banners was completely for their consideration.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ma Qi continued: "The court was about to promote African feudalism, and the scale of American feudalism will also expand year by year. The banners will not replenish the population on a large scale. In another ten years, you will have no one to be available. In addition, the inner city will not be vacant for a long time. The bannermen will fill in. It is safer than the people who fill in?

More importantly, the territory of the Qing Dynasty is now expanding. If the scale of the bannermen is not growing, how can they effectively rule? The emperor has the ambition to rush to the world. If you want to create an unprecedented empire, it would be fine if you enjoy honor, but can you still interfere with it?"

"Okay!" Zhenwu walked in with his words in a regular dress. He was really worried about the nobles who sent Kong Yuqi away, so he rushed over to check the situation and stopped the eunuch's report.

No one in the study room expected Zhenwu to come here in person. After being stunned, they all stood up in a hurry, and the horse's hooves were clattered. They knelt on the ground in a regular manner and said in unison: "I would like to invite the emperor and the emperor to the holy."

"Everyone is flat." Zhenwu waved his hand and then calmly walked to a nearby desk table. He glanced at everyone and said, "It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain success. The ancestors and ancestors started in a short period of time and could still create a country that has thousands of miles of land. Now the Qing Dynasty is strong in its country. How can we enjoy its success and not be enterprising?

Furthermore, there is a cliché, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Although the Qing Dynasty is currently peaceful, Russia is eyeing it in the north, Junggar is ready to move in the west, and European maritime powers are salivating for the prosperity of our Qing Dynasty. How can we rest assured?

Whether it is an expedition to Europe or a feudalization of America or Africa, it is for the prosperity and stability of the Qing Dynasty. I can tell you with certainty. There will be a war with Russia and Europe sooner or later, which is why I am eager to expand the scale of the Eight Banners. In addition, with the development of Australia and the feudalization of America, the number of soldiers in the Eight Banners is also urgently needed to expand. If the scale of the Eight Banners is not expanded, where will the soldiers come from?"

Speaking of this, Zhenwu glanced at everyone and slowed down and said, "My Qing Dynasty is the most important military merits, and the titles of all ministers and workers are declining in their inheritance. If you want to be promoted, your children will be awarded titles, and you want to be inherited in a hereditary title. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for you. I hope you can grasp it well."

Seeing Zhenwu inspire them with his title, the nobles were immediately excited. The titles of the Qing Dynasty were really rare. The chances of ordinary princes and nobles to be promoted can be said to be slim, and they are all reduced from generation to generation. Even if a duke is not out of three generations, he will become a marquis. If he wants to be promoted, unless he makes great contributions, the easiest thing is military merit.

Duke Seller of the Assistant Kingdom immediately bowed and said, "Slaves and others will do their best to serve the country and live up to the emperor's grace."

Ma Qi also followed and said: "The emperor's holy thoughts are profound and he plans for the future. He praises the detailed paintings. He will inevitably be the four barbarians and guests, and all countries will come to worship and create an unprecedented prosperous era."

When they saw this situation, the nobles naturally were unwilling to fall behind and flattered them. When they went to the study, they immediately became a tribute to the saints.

The news that the court promoted the integration of Manchu and Han and advocated the marriage between Manchu and Han quickly spread in the capital. Zhenwu's move to encourage the marriage between Manchu and Han. Those who married Han women and Manchus were carried into the husband's family's banner, and those who married the banner and the people, their husbands and children were carried into the Han military flags of the corresponding banners, which was even more rumored.

Although everyone knows that the source of this news is absolutely reliable, the Han officials in the capital are still skeptical. The large-scale promotion of Han people only occurred before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and at the beginning of the pass. Before entering the pass, a large number of surrendered soldiers were naturalized. At the beginning of entering the pass, a large number of Manchu and Mongolian nobles were enclosed, and many landless farmers were forced to vote for the title of nobles and became naturalized by the way of coats and other loves.

After the abolition of the subsidy, it was very rare for Han people to carry their ancestry. It was basically because of their merits and marriages. After more than 70 years of hard work in the reign of the Kangxi reign, the two generations of Kangxi were considered orthodox in the early Qing Dynasty. The Han people to carry their ancestry into their ancestry gradually became an honor. Without significant merits, they would not be able to win this honor.

Of course, it is not uncommon to open the back door to carry the household registration. However, it is basically necessary for the royal family to reward their subordinates or take concubines. The number is very small and outsiders cannot hear it.

Now it is suddenly rumored that marriage can bring the flag to the public. The officials are naturally skeptical. The difficulty of carrying the public in the past is so easy in the blink of an eye. It really makes people doubt it. Could it be that Zhenwu’s temporary misunderstanding or mistaken hearing it? It can only be confirmed after seeing the decree with his own eyes or the Beijing newspapers published.

However, the subsequent news immediately made them believe in the matter. News came out of Yansheng Gong Mansion on Taipusi Street that the royal family and Yansheng Gong Mansion were married, and the princess married Yansheng Gong Mansion!

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation. The Kong family in Qufu was a descendant of Confucius. Everyone in the world knew that the Kong family was a Han Chinese and the royal princess married Han Chinese. This was something that the Qing Dynasty had never seen before. It can be seen that the court's determination to promote the marriage between Manchu and Han Chinese! Since the court was so determined, it was not impossible to promote the marriage between Manchu and Han Chinese on a large scale. This master is famous for his innovation.

Thinking about this clearly, many Chinese and large staff in the capital have begun to consider the marriage of their children. Those who are at the age of marriage should consider it. Those who are not at the age of marriage are also preparing to get married early. What a joke? Who knows what will happen in a few years? After passing this village, this store will be gone. Such a great opportunity is definitely not to be missed.

However, Kong Yuqi was not happy at the Yansheng Gong Mansion. When he went to the palace to meet and agreed to the marriage, he did not know Zhenwu's encouragement policy. When he returned to the house, the housekeeper told the rumors outside and couldn't help but complain that it was indeed a great honor for the princess to marry the Kong family, but if the Kong family was brought into the banner, it would be more than worth the loss.

As a giant family of thousands of years old, the Kong family also has its own way of survival. Although Kong Yuqi is willing to marry the royal family and marry relatives and nobles in the court, he is extremely reluctant to ask the Kong family to be promoted to the banner. Marriage is to consolidate the status of the Kong family. If the banner family is naturalized, the risk is greater than the benefit. One may affect the reputation of the Kong family, and the other may change the dynasty, which may lead to the collapse of the nest.

Although he was extremely reluctant, Kong Yuqi did not dare to find Zhenwu. If Zhenwu was determined to carry the Kong family and rashly explained it, it would be a disaster immediately. Although the Qing Dynasty respected Confucius and Mencius, in addition to his Northern Sect, the Kong family also had a Southern Sect, so this matter must be handled with caution.

After a while of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "What time is now?"

Seeing that Kong Yuqi's expression was wrong, the housekeeper was cautious outside the door. After hearing the question, he was stunned for a moment before saying respectfully: "Go back to Master, it's four minutes past Shen Shi."

Kong Yuqi nodded and ordered: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Prince Lian's mansion."

Go to Prince Lian’s Mansion? The housekeeper couldn’t help but be stunned. Yan Sheng has never been concerned about political affairs and rarely interacts with the royal family on a daily basis. He hurriedly bowed and said, “I’ll ask the grandpa to tell me whether to take a seat in an official sedan or….”

After pondering for a moment, Kong Yuqi said in a deep voice. "Two people carry, a green cloth sedan."

Prince Lian’s Mansion.

Yinsi had just washed up after returning to the mansion. Before he could sit down and drink some herbal tea, the eunuch Sixizi hurried in to report: "Prince, Yansheng Gong Kong Yuqi is looking for a meeting outside."

Yinsi was stunned when he heard this. It was just rumored today that the royal family and the Yansheng Gonggong Mansion were married, and the princess married the Kong family in Qufu. How could this Yansheng Gonggong Kong Yuqi come to ask for a meeting? After a second thought, he guessed that Kong Yuqi must be unwilling to carry the family and it is difficult to interfere in this matter. After all, he didn't know what Zhenwu was thinking.

However, it is extremely inappropriate to not see Yan Shenggong's status. After a moment of pondering, he ordered: "Open the middle door and welcome Yan Shenggong."

"Zhe." Si Xizi bowed and responded, and then stood up and said, "Prince, the two of them came here to carry a green cloth sedan."

Yinsi nodded, but without saying a word, stood up and gave a light command, "Change." Seeing this, Si Xizi hurriedly bowed and retreated, and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the middle door.

Kong Yuqi and his two men carried a sedan chair and landed a sedan chair in front of the gate of Prince Lian's mansion. When they got out of the sedan chair, they saw that the gate of Prince Lian's mansion was wide open. Prince Lian Yinsi and his people were greeted at the door. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly, thinking that this trip would probably be in vain.
