Yi Zhizu was also full of anger! Yi Zhu dared to blatantly ask him for evil and demand a million yuan of Qi silver shares. In the future, this kid became the emperor and wouldn't he eat Yuan Qi alive? Although Yuan Qi had enough self-protection when Yi Zhu ascended the throne, he did not want both sides to be incompatible, and he was even more unwilling to be forced to rebel at a desperate situation. That was not a good thing for Yuan Qi.

Prince Zheng left the garden, Li Wang was about to go out, but when he looked up, he saw Yi Zhizu swaying the stirrups and got off the horse. He quickly walked up to him. He saw that the other party's face was a little cold, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He quickly said with care: "The Lord is back."

Yi Zhizu nodded, threw the reins to Li Wang, and quickly walked into the gate. Seeing this, Li Wang understood that it must be the young master who went to Prince Hui's Mianyu Bieyuan to have something unpleasant. He immediately handed the horse over to the guards in front of the gate, quickly chased after him, and said softly: "Sir."

"It's okay." Yi Zhizu said in a muffled voice, without saying much, walked straight forward, entered the private courtyard where he lived, took a bath, changed clothes and had dinner, and he walked to a pavilion in the middle of the lake to cool off. The lake water was clear, the breeze blew, and the lake surface was filled with ripples, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time.

Yi Zhizu lit a cigar and thought about his thoughts while he was standing on the fence. He accidentally intervened in the battle for the crown prince. It was a good thing for Yuan Qi to inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty, but he did not want to have dirty things with Yizhu. If Yizhu was allowed to succeed to the throne, it might not be a good thing for Yuan Qi. After all, although Yizhu was short-lived, he had been in power for ten years, and he would probably have countless twists and turns.

Yizhu's most powerful competitor is Prince Gong, the sixth son of the emperor, who is known as the sixth prince of the Japanese. In Manchu, the sixth meaning of the sixth meaning is resourceful. In fact, Yizhu is indeed far better than Yizhu.

Historically, Yi Xin advocated learning foreign science and technology to strengthen military strength, advocated diplomatically maintaining peace with European and American powers, and supported the establishment of modern military industry. He was the central head of the Westernization Movement, and advocated the use of Han officials, and founded the first formal diplomatic organ of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Yi Xin inherited the throne, not necessarily a good thing for Yuan Qi. Thinking of this, Yi Zhizu was very confused. He couldn't help but think of Yi Xin, the fifth son of the emperor, Yi Xin, who was naughty and naughty, was not doing his job properly and was not loved by Daoguang. However, it was just thinking about it. Yi Xin obviously had no chance, and Yuan Qi did not have the strength to support Yi Xin to take office.

"Sir, there are many mosquitoes by the lake." A pretty maid said softly behind her, her voice soft, sweet, and quite nice. Yi Shizu turned around and saw the other party standing timidly not far behind her, holding a mosquito incense furnace. There were two figures standing on the shore of the lake, one maid and the other was Li Wang.

"Sir." The maid raised the mosquito repellent in her hand slightly, "This is a special mosquito repellent, which has the effect of repellent mosquitoes."

Seeing that the sky was already a little dark, and thinking that I had to write something at night, Yi Zhizu waved his hand, "No need, go back now." As he said that, he walked slowly and asked casually: "What's your name? How old is it?"

"Return to the Lord, I am Yueming, this year's seventeenth." Yueming replied softly: "I have a sister of the same age, named Yuehua."

It turned out that the twin sisters sent by Prince Yi Zaidun, Yi Shizuo walked slowly and thought to leave the capital as soon as possible. This was a place of trouble. Those princes gave him gifts obviously because of the implementation of the Yuanqi model in various provinces. Needless to say, these princes should be sure to control the money-saving industry. I hope that Yuanqi will take care of him in the future.

He guessed that this was just the beginning, and there would definitely be some people giving gifts in the future. If they didn't accept them, it would be unfair to pay back the favor. Yuan Qi doesn't have the ability to take care of the provinces more, so he can only focus on taking care of them. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. At this critical moment, Yizhu actually had the courage to blackmail Yuan Qi. He was really ignorant and fearless. If this matter was spread, Yizhu would definitely become the target of public criticism.

The Old Summer Palace, the gate of the palace.

There is a stone tablet erected outside the wall on the south side of the palace gate. The four characters of Manchu, Mongolian, Han and Tibetan engraved "Stop Here". All the princes and ministers must stop here. The civil servants get off the sedan chair and the military officers get off the horse. Then, the eunuchs lead them to walk into the palace gate. If there is any violation, they will be severely punished.

However, today, the princes and civil and military ministers who came to the morning court were attracted by a wooden sign next to the stone tablet after getting off the horse and getting off the sedan chair. To be precise, they were attracted by the content posted on the wooden sign. There are two introductions on the wooden sign, one is the lottery bond and the other is the Double Color Ball, which introduces the various situations of the lottery bond and the Double Color Ball in detail.

The wooden sign was surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers, and a group of officials were talking, "Isn't this lottery just gambling? The court strictly prohibited gathering people to gamble!"

"When will this gambling be banned? A small gambling can bring considerable income to the court."

"In this case, it will probably ruin the social atmosphere."

"What I mean is, how can the court openly advocate gambling? Once this example is opened, how can we educate the people in the future?"

"This is obviously to alleviate the current financial difficulties. This method is much better than making large donations or minting large coins!"

"Since ancient times, how could the imperial court openly advocate gambling? Once this example is opened, the etiquette and music will inevitably collapse, and the court will also lose its reputation."

Just as everyone was arguing, a eunuch hurriedly squeezed in, and posted a lottery on the wooden sign quickly. This article discussed in detail the origin of lottery, its development and current situation in the West, the purpose, significance and function of the imperial court's issuance of lottery tickets. It also records that there have been various types of lottery tickets, white pigeon tickets, etc. in Chinese people since ancient times.

"The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty used the issuance of lottery to raise funds? Is it true or false?"

"But this white vote and the white dove vote are not fabricated, but there are indeed people."

"In this way, will the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of lottery?"

"No matter what he said, the court cannot openly advocate gambling!"

In a room outside the palace gate, Wang Ding glanced at the ministers gathered around the wooden sign to discuss, then turned around and glanced at Yi Zhizu, who was sitting behind the desk smoking a cigar, and said in a muffled voice: "The imperial court issued lottery tickets, which really damaged its prestige!"

"The officials did not let the court come forward." Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "As for the current Qing Dynasty's administration, the imperial court will only make the corrupt officials rich." After a pause, he continued: "Lottery must have extremely strict management and supervision, must have iron discipline, and must have excellent credit and honest morality, otherwise it will not be able to operate for a long time.

The officials suggested that the government issue licenses and authorize non-governmental organizations to issue lottery tickets. The government carried out strict supervision and collected silver according to proportions. Only in this way can it last for a long time.

The income distribution of lottery must be strictly proportional. The Western lottery industry is relatively mature. The current distribution ratio is that the bonus accounts for 58, the operating cost accounts for 15, and the remaining 27 is the profit. The Qing Dynasty must try first and adjust appropriately, but the bonus ratio cannot be low."

The profit is less than 30%? Zhuo Bingtian couldn't help but say, "How much income can the imperial court have in a year?"

Yi Zhizu thought for a while before saying: "The Qing Dynasty has a strong gambling atmosphere. Even if the lottery is only issued in the provincial capital, it is conservatively estimated that it can increase the court by 200 million taels of silver in a year."

Two or three million taels of silver? Wang Ding frowned, "Lottery ruins the atmosphere, and the income of a year is only two or three million, which seems to be not worth the loss."

Yi Zhizu glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Two or three million a year means adding five or six large warships every year."

As he heard that Wang Ding, Zhuo Bingtian and Qi Shuzao no longer spoke. Two or three million a year, and twenty or three million in ten years, the navy can definitely take shape. This alone is definitely enough to impress Daoguang.

After the morning court, Daoguang summoned Yi Zhizu in Yangzheng Bookstore in Shendetang again. After giving tea and seats, Daoguang said in a relaxed tone: "There are few opponents to issue lottery bonds, but there are a lot of controversy about issuing lottery tickets. Are there any other good strategies?"

After pondering for a moment, Yi Zhizuo bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you must accumulate wealth quickly, but you will not waver in the fundamentals. Internally, you can only raise funds, make big donations, issue lottery tickets, issue life treasury bonds, lottery bonds, and externally, launch wars and plunder. After the Annan Navy was destroyed this year, you can draw troops north next year and the next year to attack Japan."

Attacking Japan? Daoguang's heart was shocked. This kid really dared to think about it. He actually dared to fight on two fronts. Yuan Qi had so many troops and such strong financial resources. Of course, he knew that Yi Zhizu dared not speak nonsense in front of him. He probably had the idea of ​​attacking Japan. He immediately said curiously: "The two southeastern lines are provoking the battle at the same time, which is a taboo for military strategists."

"In fact, it can't be considered a battle on both sides." Yi Zhizu said calmly: "I personally think that the Qing Dynasty can completely imitate the British."

Following the British? Daoguang pondered for a moment and said, "Ask peace truce with Annan and force Annan to pay compensation? The same is true for Japan?"

"I personally think that Annan and Japan should be treated differently." Yi Zhizu said carefully: "For Annan, while constantly annexing, he also needs to exploit the Annan Ruan Dynasty. Hongji's victory has already established his authority. He can negotiate with the Annan Ruan tribe, and they will pay compensation for compensation and cede the land. After attacking Japan, he will look for an excuse to continue to send troops to Annan.

As for Japan, the fleet directly attacked Edo, and the troops were at the city, forcing the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan to cede land and pay compensation, open up trade to the Qing Dynasty, and then withdraw troops. Before resolving Annan, they carried out economic plunder and financial invasion on Japan, completely pacified Annan, and came back to deal with Japan.

In this way, two-line battles can be avoided. In one or two years, the newly built navy can purchase more than ten sail warships, thirty or forty Western-style warships, and 20,000 troops from France and the United States, which is enough to conquer Japan. Even if it is forcibly attacking Edo Castle, Japan, it is no problem.

Weichen has always emphasized that elite troops are produced, and the newly built navy can quickly form the system and combat effectiveness in continuous actual combat."

After hearing this, Daoguang was a little moved. However, with the strength of forty or fifty warships and 20,000 troops, England traverseed the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners Green Camp had no power to fight back. Why couldn't the navy, which was trained as the backbone of the Yuanqi regiment, conquered the Japanese? He pondered for a moment, and then he tentatively said: "But he fell in love with the rich gold and silver in Japan?"

Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "It's not only that I'm interested in Japan's gold and silver, but also because Japan poses a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty!"

Japan poses a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty? Daoguang smiled and said, "Are the Guocheng joking? Just a mere country with a small land with a population of only tens of millions, can it pose a threat to our great Qing Dynasty?"

"The population of Japan is as high as 30 million!" Yi Zhizu corrected.

"So what?" Daoguang said disapprovingly: "I, the Qing Dynasty, have a population of 40 million."

"I am not exaggerating!" Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "English is also an island country. Once it becomes strong, it can defeat France, the largest military power in Europe. I am just trying to prevent trouble before it happens, so as not to give Japan the opportunity to grow and grow, and not to give it the opportunity to pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty!"

Yi Zhizu is not only familiar with the West, but also has a broad vision, but also has a long-term vision. Daoguang also has some understanding of this. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but believe it. "Guocheng really believes that Japan may pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty in the future?"

"The Emperor's clarification." Yi Zhizu said first: "Although the population of Japan is as high as 30 million. Once it develops industry, it will inevitably be eager to expand externally. The Qing Dynasty will definitely be the first choice for Japan's foreign expansion. Although Japan has been in a state of being closed to the country over the years, it has been intermittently traded with the Netherlands, and its country is greatly affected by the Netherlands.

Unlike the Qing Dynasty, Japan did not conflict with Western science and technology and cultural knowledge, but also attached great importance to it. Its country attached great importance to education, and its literacy rate was as high as more than 30%. In addition, Citi has long intended to open the country's door and has contacted Japan several times, hoping to trade freely with Japan.

Once Japan wants to open trade ports in the West, it will inevitably be a disaster but not a blessing for the Qing Dynasty. The reason why my husband can't wait to conquer Japan is to try his best to hinder the contact between Japan and the West. When necessary, it can provoke civil unrest in Japan, or even launch a large-scale war directly against Japan to try his best to delay the development of Japan."

Daoguang looked at him straight and said for a while: "The war is about money and food. Now the imperial court does not have sufficient financial resources to launch a large-scale war on the outside!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Yi Zhizu hurriedly said: "Even if you want to launch a large-scale war against Japan, it will happen ten years later. Moreover, foreign wars will be mainly plundering and will not consume too much financial resources of the court."

After pondering for a moment, Daoguang said: "The Annan five-year plan will not change, right?"

"No." Yi Zhizu said without hesitation: "Weichen will definitely not affect the plan to annex Annan because of Japan."
