Chapter 201 The Use of the Book of Li Fan Yuan
After leaving Fengyang, Mo Jing did not rush to travel.
She just sent someone to send a letter to Fengtian first, and then watched the scenery all the way and walked with will.
The letter was naturally asked Old Man Fei to help produce salt. Since opening a salt farm in Fuzhou Bay, Dalian, the salt farm has been in a bit unrest for several years. The annual output is quite large, but the sales are limited, and the profit only fluctuates around one million taels. Although this has made the shareholders who are eating dry stocks overjoyed, the recession is a recession, and Old Man Fei and the people involved all understand it.
However, now the opportunity is here.
Lianghuai salt merchants are the largest salt merchants in the world. They actually made such a foolish move. No wonder Mo Jing is rude to them.
In the past, except for Shandong, which has always been relatively salt-deficient, Liaodong salt was rarely sold to other places in the pass, and Kangxi and the Qing court did not allow it very much. But now it is different. If Anhui wants to cause a salt waste, it naturally has to seek salt everywhere. When Liaodong salt is sold there, no one has to say.
However, there is another limitation in this matter, that is, it must wait until the Qing court knows about the salt wasteland. Therefore, Mo Jing deliberately slowed down and waited for the news. After more than ten days, she walked from Fengyang, Anhui to Kaifeng, Henan, and further north, it was Shanxi again.
...
Beijing!
The rebels of Hubei Tiandihui, Huang Jiao, and Shi Yi were chased into Sichuan by the imperial army and finally joined the troops of the Wantixi uprising. However, while they were gathered, they were surrounded by various armies of the imperial court. Soon after, they would find that various materials were short of materials. In order not to sit in the troubled city, they would have to give up their defense and break through. However, facing the officers and soldiers who were several times more than the uprising army, their final result was to be defeated, captured, and beheaded.
Before this, Shandong Governor Juntai finally caught Zhang Yongguan, who was "invited away" by the Tiandihui, and claimed to be Zhu Cihuan, the third son of the Songzhen. After verification, it was confirmed that 90% of the cases were not fake. After reporting to the Qing court, Kangxi said: Although Zhu was hostage and had no rebellion, how could he know that he had no intention of rebellion? He issued an order to kill the whole family. As a result, Zhang Yongguan, who was already 69 years old, was beheaded with his son, and his wife, daughter-in-law and his family hanged themselves.
After dealing with these two confidants, Kangxi finally took a few confidants to the Imperial Garden to relax.
"Your Majesty, I recently received a memorial from Fujian, which is quite interesting!" I naturally wanted to say something pleasant. Kangxi ordered several ministers to tell a few jokes one by one. When it was Tong Guowei's turn, this guy suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Fujian? What interesting things can be there? Could it be that Yu Zhong and Lan Li fight?" Kangxi asked with a smile.
"Haha, although not, it's almost the same. Emperor, Guo Xiu's staying in the prostitute at night is contrary to the court's law." Tong Guowei replied with a smile.
"Stay prostitute in the middle?" Gao Shiqi called out before Kangxi.
"It was. As soon as we came out of the brothel, we were caught by our envoy Guo Da." Tong Guowei said with a smile.
"Interesting and interesting. I heard that the 'family tutoring' in the middle is very strict. This time, I'm afraid some of them will suffer! Hahaha..." Gao Shiqi smiled.
"Yes. Mo Jing and Luo Xin are both extremely powerful women. They keep the two senior officials under me honest. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhong is still... Haha, I want to see what the result will be for him!" Kangxi also smiled.
"Then, Master, how should you deal with this matter? Guo Xiu asked the emperor to strictly punish our position in the capital according to the law!" Tong Guowei said with a smile again.
"Severe punishment? Forget it. People are destined to be unlucky, so I won't make things difficult for him. Just write a document and declare it... Then Yu Zhong is the brothel you went to?" Kangxi asked again.
"Oh. Guo Xiu said that Deshu sent someone to get him over!" Tong Guowei replied.
"Deshu? He can look at the style of the wind and beauty!... He sent an order to severely denounce Deshu, and punish him for another year!" Kangxi said.
"Slaves obey the order." Tong Guowei responded.
...
"When it comes to Yuzhong, I want to hear what you think of Taiwan's battle?" Kangxi suddenly asked several ministers again.
"...Prince, I think Taiwan is just a small place, and it is only expected to be pacified in a moment! So, there is nothing worth paying special attention to." Tong Guowei answered first.
"Oh? You all think so?" Kangxi looked at Gao Shiqi and others again.
"Your Majesty, Taiwan's rebellion against the people is really a surprise. However, I still think it's just a scoundrel to shake a tree. Therefore, I am willing to follow the advice of the Prime Minister Tong!" Ma Qi said.
"Your Majesty, I am not very familiar with military affairs, but Taiwan's terrain just happens to control the mainland, so I think it cannot make any mistakes!" Gao Shiqi said.
"Your Majesty, I am following the advice of the high minister!" It was still Zhang Tingyu's last speech.
"Haha, you can make it clear!" Kangxi smiled, "Do you know how Yinzhi said to me?"
"Big Prince?"
"Yes! I asked Yinzhi what he had gained from going south this time. He only said four words to me, which is 'The firearm is powerful'!" Kangxi said.
"Firearms?...This is true. This time, not only Taiwan rebelled, but also the world rebelled in Sichuan and Hubei, but also had a large number of firearms. It really made it difficult for the court to pacify them as easily as before!" Ma Qi said, pinching his chin.
"What do you think you should do?" Kangxi asked with a smile again.
"Your Majesty, since the firearms are powerful, then we will forbidden to do so. My Qing Dynasty has won the world with its bows, crossbows, swords and guns. Using firearms will not show our ability, and only let those traitors rely on their arrogantness! Humph, if there were no firearms, how could these mobs be arrogant to this day?" Tong Guowei said.
"But although those rebels were arrogant for a moment, they were defeated and fled without even blocking the artillery attack for half an hour! ... Yu Zhong is also a man of man, but he seems to be good at using firearms!" Kangxi said with a smile at Tong Guowei.
"This... the emperor, if there is only one person in the middle, he can use firearms? Moreover, I have always thought that firearms are nothing more than artillery attacks. However, artillery is very expensive and has not strong lethality. It is only a deterrent use against the enemy. It is not suitable to have a large amount of equipment!" Tong Guowei continued.
"Oh, why can't this Gonggong bend always turn around? The emperor has ordered the establishment of five naval commanders, why are you still talking so randomly? Doesn't the naval commander need guns? You still ban firearms, isn't it a pleasure to find yourself!" Gao Shiqi looked at Tong Guowei's answer to Kangxi's question "seriously", and glanced at Zhang Tingyu to the side, and curled his lips secretly.
"Your Majesty, this time there will be rebellion in the world, and various simple firearms will be manufactured on a large scale. I think that the manufacturing methods of these firearms will definitely flow into the people through their hands. If you are worried that someone will cause trouble again in the future, what the court will do is not only to ban firearms from the people, but also to create more powerful firearms to restrain them!" Zhang Tingyu said.
"Haha, you're talking about it one by one!" Kangxi smiled and did not comment on the words of the two ministers. He just suddenly said: "I have already approved the memorial of Yu Zhong's counterpart Nian Gengyao as the general of Taiwan. You will send this memorial to Fujian tomorrow! They are still waiting!... Remember, let Yu Zhong leave half of the warships and horses for Nian Gengyao first!"
"Minist (sub) obeys the order!"
*******
"These girls, when they have something to do, they will only bother me!... Unfilial, unfilial!"
Fengtian and Prince Zheng’s mansion, Old Man Fei, who no longer had to personally supervise the return of Beijing Banners, held the letter sent by Mo Jing to send someone back, and kept shook his head and sighed.
"Master, what's the matter?" Agudamu still loyally guarded Old Man Fei in front of his personal guard.
"It's nothing! I, an old man, just received a formal appointment a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the first thing I had to do was to help my own people! These kids are really not afraid of trouble for me, old guy! Alas... I feel a little guilty!" Old man Fei sighed.
"Master, you are very happy!" Agudam looked at Old Man Fei and sighed but smiled, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Haha, that's of course! If you want to get rich, of course you have to be happy!...Agudamu, go and notify Tong Bao and Yang Zhongne and ask them to come over, and say I have something to ask them to do! In addition, please invite Admiral Sabusu to come!" Old Man Fei said with a smile.
"Please Admiral Sa? He seems to be going to select a bannerman who will return to Beijing, and he is staying there in Dalian!" said Agudam.
