Yi Zhizu knew not many people in the capital, and there were only a few friends. However, he is now very popular. In addition, it was the emperor who gave the marriage and married a royal woman. Many royal family members Jueluo and Eight Banners nobles came to give gifts. After all, many royal family members Jueluo served in the Nanyang Navy. Gifts may not be taken care of, but if they don’t give gifts, they are very likely to be taken care of.

In addition to the royal family Jueluo and the Eight Banners nobles, some Han officials also came to congratulate, mainly Guangdong officials and Yuanqi shareholders with Yuanqi backgrounds. Guangdong officials took this opportunity to come to meet with fellow villagers, while Yuanqi and other officials came to party.

As the court authorized Yuan Qi to issue paper money, Daoguang's respect for Yuan Qi and the importance of Yuan Qi was self-evident. Everyone knew in their hearts that Yuan Qi's status was as stable as a rock and his influence on the court in the future would become greater and greater. These officials with Yuan Qi's background did not need to hide their identities as carefully as before, but instead took advantage of this rare opportunity to organize relationships in the officialdom.

In addition, there were some famous shopkeepers of the Piaozi Yin No. 1 in the capital who came to join in the fun. Almost all shopkeepers of the Shanxi-borne Shopping Monsters came, and the gifts were given were not light.

The huge mansion was crowded with people, but the guests formed a circle, each occupying the courtyard for chatting and discussing. The royal family, Jueluo Eight Banners, had the largest number of nobles, and the most expensive identities occupied the largest main courtyard. The topic they were naturally talking about was the impact of encouraging intermarriage among the banners and Daoguang's intention. They guessed why Daoguang suddenly proposed to eliminate the territory of the Manchu and Han Banners?

The princes, princes, Beilebeizi and other high-ranking titles were all kept silent about this, but the low titles, especially the idle royal family, were all without taboos and talked loudly. "The Manchu and Han have always been one, and the Manchu and Han are just talking about it. How could they be true? Even the people of the flag are encouraged to marry each other, let alone the Manchus. In the long run, how can we still have our Manchus?"

"What I mean is that there are hundreds of millions of Han people. Once the intermarriage between Manchus and Han people is really relaxed, the Manchus will inevitably die in less than a few decades. Now, look at it, there are still a few who can speak Manchus, let alone write Manchus!"

"It's not just language, writing, food, clothing and customs are now seriously Chineseized. If you encourage intermarriage, you will inevitably be completely Chineseized!"

"The ancestors and ancestors have always adhered to the head of Manzhou, and have repeatedly emphasized that the bannermen are the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. This encourages intermarriage among the people of the banner and eliminates the territory of the banner people. Do we still want the Eight Banners? Without the Eight Banners, is the Qing Dynasty still the Qing Dynasty?"

"This matter is not good. We have to write to the emperor and ask the emperor to take back his life."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the chief. Prince Rui, Prince Yi, Prince Zheng, and several princes, who were slightly in love with Yi Zhizu, were sitting on the chief.

No one dared to answer these words, nor did he dare to express his opinion casually. The chief princes Beilebeizi pretended not to hear them or looked at Prince Rui Renshou. Prince Rui Renshou was not very old, but he had a very high status in the middle, second only to Prince Li, and was known as the second seat of the kings, so he was the chief leader.

Renshou was also quite dissatisfied with eliminating the territory of the Manchu and Han Banners and encouraging the intermarriage of the Manchu and Han Banners. He thought that the thoughts of the audience were almost the same, so no one stopped everyone's loud discussions. It was okay to look at the excitement, but asking them to take the lead in writing and begging the emperor to take back his life, that was like thinking that the iron hat was too strong.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "The emperor proposed to eliminate the territory of the Manchu and Han Banners, which must be of great significance. We are here to have wedding banquets today, regardless of political affairs."

Before he finished speaking, someone encouraged him and said, "This marriage is a model to encourage intermarriage among the bannermen. It's better not to drink this wedding."

"If you don't want to drink wedding banquets, please leave." As he spoke, Zaiquan, the prince of Zongren Mansion and Zong Lingding, walked in from outside the courtyard gate, glanced at everyone in the yard, and then he strode to the chief position before he said in a deep voice: "Eliminate the territory of the Manchu and Han Banners and encourage the intermarriage of the Manchu and Han Banners. This is to solve the livelihood of the Eight Banners. Before the wedding banquet was drunk, he started talking nonsense?"

Zai Quan is a clan lord of the clan mansion and a celebrity in front of Daoguang. No one dares to question his words. The livelihood of the Eight Banners is a stubborn disease and has troubled the court for hundreds of years. When they heard that it was to solve the livelihood of the Eight Banners, everyone was a little surprised. I wonder what the relationship between the elimination of the Manchu and Han Banners and the livelihood of the Eight Banners?

Someone immediately said aloud: "Can you tell me in detail?"

Zai Quan was also confused, but he couldn't tell the whole story. He immediately turned his eyes and said, "I am here to have a wedding banquet, but I don't have the good mood to grind my teeth with you. Stay wherever I get cool, don't disturb our interest in drinking wedding banquets!"

Hearing his tone impatient, no one dared to find him uncomfortable to touch his bad luck, and they whispered. They believed Zai Quan's words, but they couldn't figure it out.

Something unpleasant happened. Yi Zhizu did not come out to socialize with the guests but hid in the study and ordered someone to invite Ma Yinglong. After he ordered him to light a cigar. Daoguang took advantage of his wedding opportunity to issue an edict to encourage the intermarriage of the Manchu and Han Banners, and made a clear statement that he would eliminate the territory of the Manchu and Han Banners, which surprised him very much.

Daoguang was not lacking in courage. He rectified the administration of officials at the beginning of the Yuji period, tried to transport grains and open up the mine ban. But now he is old and, according to the estimation of contentment, even if Daoguang is willing to gradually reduce the privileges of the bannermen, it should be delayed until the second half of the year or even next year. After Yuanqi issued paper money, he would implement it. Unexpectedly, Daoguang was actually decisive.

In this way, after the first batch of lifeless treasury bonds were obtained, Daoguang would most likely be impatient to carry out military reform. Otherwise, he would not have had to be so anxious to reduce the privileges of the bannermen!

Once the court conducts military reform, it is not a good thing for him. The middle and high-level officers trained by the Yuanqi regiment may be transferred from the Nanyang Navy by the court on the excuse of organizing a new army. In this way, his control over the Nanyang Navy will also drop significantly. With the improvement of a large number of royal family members, the sons of the Eight Banners of Jueluo, it is not impossible to underestimate him.

Thinking about it, he is both the admiral of Nanyang and the great shopkeeper of Yuan Qi. He can be said to have grabbed a gun with one hand and a money bag with the other. It would be strange if Daoguang could feel at ease. He was so impatient that he obviously wanted to deprive him of his military power.

It seems that when leaving Beijing this time, we must speed up the pace of sending troops to the east. Invasion of Japan cannot be delayed anymore. We must send troops before the imperial court conducts military reform. Originally, he planned to train for one more year. After all, the navy is not as good as the army. It usually takes three or five years to train a qualified naval soldier. Naval officers take longer, but now they are not at ease and can only practice military training.

Ma Yinglong came to the capital last year and lived in the Guangzhou Guild Hall to prepare for this year's examination. Yi Zhizu came to Beijing and the two of them met in the capital. This time, Yi Zhizu got married, and he was the only representative of the children of many businessmen, so he would not be absent. Originally, he thought that there were a lot of guests and friends today, and Yi Zhizu had no time to greet him, but he didn't want to send someone to invite him to the study. He felt strange.

When he entered the room, he smiled and said, "The groom didn't go to greet guests, but hid in the study, but he was unhappy?"

"The wedding night is one of the three great joys in life. What's wrong with you?" Yi Zhizu smiled and pointed to the chair casually, saying, "I have been busy these days and have no time to ask Brother Junhu. The examination has ended. How do you feel this time?"

"This is really hard to say." Ma Yinglong said reservedly: "I feel pretty good. Whether I can go to high school depends on my luck. If I don't have good luck, it will be useless to be very talented."

"Junhu can see it." Yi Zhizu said in a relaxed tone: "It is good to be able to go to high school. If you are not lucky, you will be able to use your skills. However, to be honest, it is better to have a Jinshi among our familiar and reliable businessmen!"

Ma Yinglong smiled and said, "I dare not ask for a Jinshi, it is enough to be able to get a Jinshi with the same Jinshi."

"I'm afraid I can't wait for Brother Junhu to leave the capital after I give the exam." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "I've been stranded in the capital this time. I guess I'll have to leave Beijing in half a month at most. Brother Junhu will be better at high school. Otherwise, I'll just go to Shanghai. Now Shanghai is developing rapidly, Changqing, Shikuan and the others are a little too busy."

"Brother Guocheng, don't worry, if you fail, go south as soon as you go." Ma Yinglong said, raised the folding fan in his hand and pointed outside, saying, "It's not because of the intermarriage of the flag-civilians, right?"

"Brother Junhu, don't worry, nothing will happen." Yi Zhizu smiled, "It just happened to use this as an excuse to drink a few less glasses of wine."

Ma Yinglong smiled and said, "In this way, the emperor's encouraging the intermarriage of the banner people is inseparable from Brother Guocheng?"

"It's a little bit related, but not big." Before Yi Zhizu finished speaking, Tang Youliang reported outside: "Sir, Prince Ding came to invite the Sir to go out for socializing with friends."

It seems that Zai Quan has comforted a group of bannermen, otherwise he would not have let him go out. Yi Zhizu immediately said, "I'll come later."

There were many guests coming, and most of them didn't know each other. They couldn't resist the enthusiasm and attentiveness of the people. Although Yishizuo drank light wine, he couldn't resist the large amount. He drank so much that he drank in less than an hour and was helped into the bridal chamber.

Five days after the marriage, a eunuch came to pass the imperial edict. Xuan Yi was at the palace to meet him. He went back to the backyard to change his official robe. Zaitong muttered softly while changing his clothes for him, "I have only summoned my husband to the palace in just a few days."

Yi Zhizu knew that this time he entered the palace, it was probably because of the remarks of the emperor. It was probably not far from the capital. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Would you like to follow me to go south?"

Although Zaitong was a woman, he was born in the royal family and had a good mind. From the matters such as Daoguang's marriage, home, and in-laws entering the capital, he guessed the intention of the court. He only thought that Yi Qunzuku comforted her, and immediately smiled and said, "It is naturally the best to be able to follow his husband."

Yi Zhizu smiled and said nothing. He was not sure about Daoguang's intentions. However, it was not impossible to let Zaitong follow him south, it depends on Daoguang's mood.

After hurriedly entering the Ganqing Palace, he bowed to Daoguang for his reward, and then got up. Daoguang was obviously in a good mood. When he got up, he said warmly: "Give him a seat." Then he asked: "How long does it take to issue paper money?"

Yuan Qi now has the ability to issue paper money, but Yi Zhizu dared not tell the truth, pretending to think, and then he pondered: "It is expected that it will take half a year to go back to the emperor at the earliest." He knew that Daoguang was not concerned about paper money but life-dead government bonds, and then said: "Although Yuan Qi is of great reputation and has strong support from the court, it still takes a certain amount of time to issue paper money, circulation market and get recognized by the market. Yuan Qi can pay a portion of the cash bank in the court's life-dead government bonds first."

Daoguang was delighted and said unceremoniously: "What about ten million?"

At this time, Yi Zhizu naturally did not want to go against him, and immediately said, "I obey the order."

With this ten million, the court immediately became very prosperous. Daoguang felt more relaxed and said, "It is not advisable to delay issuing paper money. If you need to send the paper money sample to the capital for review as soon as possible. When do you plan to leave Beijing?"

"Return to the emperor, I plan to linger for another three or five days before setting off south." Yi Zhizu said a little hesitated before saying, "Can the emperor allow me to take my family to go south? Although I am young, I have never come out. My parents are resentful about this. There are three unfilial things, and it is better to have no descendants."

Although Yi Zhizu was a newlywed, he had already taken several concubines and had never been released. Daoguang naturally knew about this matter. Since he was willing to take Zaitong south, it can be seen that the two newlyweds were in love. If Zaitong could get pregnant, it would be better. Moreover, Yi Yunchang and his wife are still in the capital. Moreover, there are many places that need to borrow from each other now, and some things should not be done too obviously. He immediately said, "Yunsu."

"Thank you for your grace." Yi Zhizu was overjoyed and hurriedly left his seat to thank him.

"Although you are a first-class viscount and a first-rank official, the court has a system. If the generals in command of the army are not stationed for a long time, they cannot carry their relatives." Daoguang said carefully: "However, your situation is special. Your marriage with the royal family is a model of intermarriage among the banner people. Carrying their relatives south is conducive to promoting intermarriage among the local banner people. It is possible to place their relatives in Guangzhou and Shanghai."

"I obey the order." Yi Zhizu thought to himself, is there any meaning in it?

"Even if you have given up today," Daoguang said slowly: "The issuance of paper money cannot be delayed. The South China Navy must also form combat power as soon as possible. The military factories, ammunition bureaus, shipyards, etc. you mentioned must also be established as soon as possible. In the future, the imperial court will need a large number of new firearms, and blindly purchasing them from the West is not a long-term solution."

Even if Daoguang doesn't remind you of these things, Yi Zhizu will do his best to replenish sufficient funds to ensure the priority development of military industry. He hurriedly said: "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's high expectations."
