Yinhu eternal life

Kangxi's place is much more comfortable than his residence, probably due to the ingenious design of the palace when it was built, and the cool breeze blowing through the windows.

After taking a big bite of the cool watermelon, Yinhu breathed a sigh of relief, and sat comfortably on the chair.

"Is there enough ice in your place? If it's not enough, get some from Huang Ama." There are many masters in the palace, and each palace has a limited amount of ice, so Kangxi asked this question.

"Enough."

"Well, don't be greedy for coolness. You can't use ice too much, especially at night. If it's hot, ask the servants to fan you."

"Oh, Huang Ama eats too." Huang Ama became more and more verbose, and Yinhu immediately handed Kangxi a piece of watermelon.

But... In fact, he really likes the long-winded Huang Ama.

Kangxi also sat down quietly, tasted the cool, sweet watermelon, sat with his youngest son after a busy day, and relaxed physically and mentally.

"Have you been slack in your studies recently?"

"Of course not, my son is so good!"

Kangxi nodded inwardly, he was really good. Although Yinhu didn't go to the study every day, he believed that his son must have made up for it in private. Didn't any of the gentlemen who went to the study speak ill of Xiao Ba?

Kangxi just asked casually, chatting!

Besides, Xiaoba doesn't need the imperial examination, and he doesn't need to study so hard, which makes Xiaoba's talents unmatched by others.Kangxi who thinks this way is a little biased. Yin'er, who was reprimanded by Kangxi just last month because he didn't listen carefully to the teacher's lecture, is afraid that he will faint from crying.

"In a few days, we will go to the palace to escape the summer heat. There are many trees and water there, so we won't be afraid of the heat."

These days, due to the implementation of the new order, the government affairs are a bit busy, and the time for summer vacation is a few days later than in previous years.

"That's great." Yinhu smiled happily, and could live in a different environment.

I also thought of the cost of building the palace, hey, there are too many places to spend money.However, the Jehol Palace is not only for escaping the summer heat, but also for the convenience of meeting foreign leaders. The Mulan paddock is set up around it, which can train cavalry and deter foreigners.If it costs so much just for enjoyment, Kangxi can't bear the infamy.

"You told the prince to let go of maritime trade and earn money from overseas?"

"Well, yes, didn't the former dynasty obtain a large amount of profit from the sea? Why did we suppress it?"

Yinhu was not surprised that Kangxi knew that these words were mentioned by himself. The prince kept it from others in order to avoid his younger brother from showing too much, but he would not hide it from Kangxi. He would not be greedy for his younger brother's credit.

"Those commodities brought over from overseas are all jewelry and spices. Although they can be sold at high prices to the rich and earn money, they are of no benefit to the people." Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Isn't it good to earn money from those rich people? Besides, we can also transport minerals and food from outside. Maybe there are other novel and precious things that we haven't discovered."

"The distance is too long, the cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective to transport food and minerals."

Staring at Kangxi with your naive gaze, Yinhu took a deep breath and insisted, "It's because our boat is not good enough. If the boat is big enough, the cost will definitely be reduced. Besides, those jewelry and spices can concentrate Earning silver in the hands of the rich can also fill the national treasury, Huang Ama has used private treasury to subsidize it several times, this is not a long-term solution."

"Why, I feel sorry for Huang Ama's money. Huang Ama still has a lot of money. It is definitely enough to support Xiaoba." Kangxi's face was full of humor.

"Emperor Ama!"

Seeing that Xiaoba was in a hurry, Kangxi straightened his face, hesitated for a while, and said to Yinhu: "Our Manchu population is less than 5%, and most of them are Han people who want to overthrow us. If the sea ban is lifted, I am worried that someone will collude with outsiders and challenge us. Start a war."

"Besides, there are remnants of the Ming Dynasty overseas, and Japanese pirates along the coast frequently harass and make trouble." The fan in Kangxi's hand slowly tapped on the table.

"So, our implementation of the sea ban is a kind of self-protection, right?"

Kangxi did not speak, and acquiesced.

"Yinhu, who protects himself like this, doesn't agree with it. They will still be watching outside, and maybe they will break our shell at some point and come into our house to plunder."

"They dare! I just want to save my worry. I am impatient with their nuisance and trouble, and I have to deal with them. I am not afraid of them!"

"They don't dare now, and they can't compare with us, but Huang Ama enforces the sea ban. If they don't look at them, they may become powerful in a place we don't know. How can we say exactly what it will be like in a few hundred years? .Aren’t we a nomadic people who were not very conspicuous before?”

"Only by putting the enemy under our noses can we control it, Huang Ama, we can't be deaf and blind by ourselves!"

Kangxi listened carefully to what his youngest son said, and his heart was shaken. In fact, it was nothing to lift the sea ban. He used to be afraid of internal and external troubles and collusion. Now that he has secured his position and the treasury is really short of money, he can get more money How could he not want income.

"Actually, it's also because we are not good at water. If we need to fight at sea, we don't have the advantage." Kangxi added.

"It is because of unkindness that we have to practice, so as not to be caught off guard the day we really need to use it."

"Only when we become stronger can we deter others, be fearless, and truly protect ourselves."

"Although Huang Ama, we are not good at water, but there are many Han people in the south of the Yangtze River who are good at water. Han people are also our people. We can't always guard against it. Didn't you also promote Han students to be officials and promote Han culture?"

Kangxi patted Yinhu's head and didn't say much. He knew that no matter how much he did, he couldn't be completely at ease with the Han people from the bottom of his heart. This probably wouldn't change.

But although you can't rest assured, the Han people do have many talents, as long as they can be used by him and not out of control.

Kangxi doesn't want to tell Yinhu these things anymore, Yinhu doesn't need to understand these schemes, he will protect him, even in the future..., the prince will protect him.

Now Yinhu is not only his beloved son in Kangxi's heart, but also a national treasure. He can always put forward many refreshing things.

They used to be nomads with no fixed place and no long-standing culture. The idea passed down from their ancestors was to grab and grab what they wanted, and they were not used to creating and producing by themselves.Those great Confucians in the Han Dynasty were deeply influenced by Confucianism, and they were used to conservativeness, so they didn't think about changing or innovating.

The youngest son has qualities that others do not have. He dares to break the stereotypes, dare to think and act, and will not remain the same because of what happened before. Kangxi is looking forward to the surprises brought by the youngest son.

There are not many people who are good at planning in this world, and the youngest son does not need to be one of them.He is confident that he will give his son a piece of pure land, where no conspiracy or calculation will disturb him, let him live freely, change what he wants to change, and inject vitality into this country, instead of becoming a mediocre person who is struggling.

"Yes, there are many good players in the water in the south of the Yangtze River, who can be incorporated into the navy. The sailors also need to practice. There are few battles on the water, and they will all be raised and disabled. Letting go of the sea ban will also allow them to be useful. It’s a waste of raising these people.”

Kangxi came to his senses, it’s nothing to open the sea ban, the Ming Dynasty had seven voyages to the West, Kangxi claimed that he was no worse than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and closed the country, people who don’t know really think that they are afraid of those who are not in the world Japanese pirates.

In fact, Kangxi cherished his reputation very much. He also thought that if the maritime trade was liberalized, there might be foreign countries coming to the DPRK, which would be praised by later generations.
