The Rebirth of the Concubine Liang[Qing]

It is said that they are going to the south of the Yangtze River to play, but in fact only Yunguo, the empress and other concubines are really playing. Yinhu came to the south of the Yangtze River with his own purpose.

When Yinhu left the palace to build a mansion, Yunguo knew that he needed to recruit soldiers to seize the heir, so he gave Yinhu his share in the Thirteen Foreign Firms run by the Juechan clan.

When Yinhu was the prince, he didn't have any extra thoughts. After all, the expenses were high, and it was very good to have such a sum of money in his hand every year.

But after Yinhu became emperor, his thoughts changed completely.

Yunguo only occupies a small part of the share of Juechan's business.Then the Liaojuechan clan only occupied less than one-tenth of the foreign thirteen lines.

Calculated backwards from the dividends I get every year, the annual income of the Thirteen Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. is astonishing.

There is also the annexation of land in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty will never forget one thing, that is, how stupid the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are, so the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would rather give up the king of power and the corrupt officials of the Manchu People's Congress than let The civil officials of the Han people came forward.

How messed up is it?

It was obviously a year of good weather, and the tax in the entire Jiangnan was only five taels of silver.

This is the number reported to Emperor Jiajing by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

And what is the tax of the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan for a year-more than ten million taels of silver.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not stupid, he knew that this matter was tricky, but he was powerless in the face of such a situation, and he had nothing to do with those people. The ministers are all ministers of subjugation", and then committed suicide in Meishan.

The Qing Dynasty may not be good enough in many places, but there is one thing that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is very sober-that is, the Han civil servants must not be allowed to ride on their heads and repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, from the first emperor onwards, the three major weaving in the south of the Yangtze River were all undertaken by the emperor's confidants, and the purpose was to monitor the south of the Yangtze River.

Yinhu came to Jiangnan to not only visit Fengyunguo, but also to investigate the issue of the annexation of the Thirteen Foreign Trades and Jiangnan land.

Now that the domestic officialdom has been sorted out, the northern Xinjiang side has been beaten down, and Yinhu has a lot of time to spend on the Jiangnan side.

This time Yinhu came here with the intention of solving the problem, and he was already prepared for the worst—to use force.

After all, people in this era have a deep love for the land, especially those big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River. This is simply the lifeblood of those people, and people can't be killed at all.After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a group of them were killed, but now they have grown again in less than 100 years.

So before touching their lifeblood, we must first prepare for the worst.

If there is any eventuality, I am not afraid, Yinhu has already established Hongwang as the crown prince, and if there is an eventual event, Daqing Jiangshan Sheji will not fall into chaos.

In dealing with the issue of northern Xinjiang, Yinhu has tempered Hongwang. Although Hongwang's handling methods are not particularly good, not as perfect as Yinhu thought, they are not bad, at least on the passing line.

It was with this thought that Yinhu made Hongwang the crown prince.

Yunguo didn't guess Yinhu's thoughts at all, she was happily playing in Jiangnan gardens, especially Cao's courtyard, accompanied by the queen.

Now that her son has been made crown prince, the queen is naturally in a good mood.This time, all Yinhu's favorite concubines came out, and they were all included in the Great Seal, so naturally they were all in a good mood.

Ever since, everyone was very happy, and there was more atmosphere when playing.

After enjoying the perfect scenery, it is natural to eat delicious food.

Someone arranged it early, because this day is in Hangzhou, so of course I will go to the West Lake in Hangzhou. After enjoying the scenery, the queen walked into the house with Yunguo and was guarded by the palace guards inside and out. restaurant.

This is a restaurant near the lake, with a second floor, and the upper seats are the best seats in the entire West Lake to enjoy the scenery while eating.

The queen helped Yun Guo go in, went up to the second floor, and waited for Yun Guo to sit down at a table.

After Yun Guo sat down, she smiled and said to the Queen and the others: "I'm tired after walking for so long, you all sit down."

"Thank you for pinching the forehead/The empress dowager is weak." The empress and others responded with a smile.

The queen sat on Yunguo's right hand side, Princess Shuojijing sat on Yunguo's left hand side, and then Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian sat at the bottom of the table.The other concubines who followed came out and sat down at another table next to them.

As soon as we sat down, we served refreshments.

It is also very characteristic of Hangzhou. The tea is West Lake Longjing. The refreshments include the classic osmanthus cake, and then there are Dingsheng cake, ghee cake, happiness double, chicken cake, lotus cake, etc., and several dishes of fruit.

Yun Guo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This tea is not bad, it has a special flavor, it is different from the tea in the palace."

Although West Lake Longjing is well-known today, it is not a tribute tea of ​​the Qing Dynasty. It was not until Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River in his previous life that West Lake Longjing was listed as a tribute tea. Since then, it has become famous both at home and abroad.

This is also Yunguo's first time drinking West Lake Longjing, and the taste is really extraordinary. No wonder some people say that West Lake Longjing is the best green tea, and there is some truth to it.

After hearing the words, the queen also picked up the cup and tasted it. After savoring carefully, she smiled and said: "It has a faint fragrance of bean curd, clear in color and sweet in taste. It is indeed a good taste."

Yun Guo laughed and said, "Green tea produced in other places is rarely dark blue, but this tea is dark green. Other teas are curled and round, but it is flat and straight. It is fragrant and fragrant like orchid. Make tribute tea."

"The concubine will let the people below arrange it later." The queen said quickly.

It's just a tribute tea, nothing more.

Yun Guo didn't say much after hearing the words, but changed the topic.

Tea and refreshments were of little use, and soon the main meal was passed on.

The first dish is roasted chicken, which is wrapped in West Lake lotus leaves and baked with yellow mud on the outside. This method gives the chicken a special flavor.

The second dish is West Lake Vinegar Fish, which uses fresh grass carp caught just from West Lake. It uses secret seasoning, which makes it taste like crab.

The third dish is Longjing Shrimp, which uses river prawns just picked up from the West Lake this morning. The prawns have a faint tea fragrance, which is very elegant and refreshing.

There are also West Lake Beef Soup, Honey Sauce, Dongpo Pork, Stir-Fried Chicken with Chestnuts, Steamed Pork with Lotus Leaf Powder, Braised Spring Bamboo Shoots in Oil, West Lake Chicken and Fire Brasenia Soup, and Old Duck Pot.

A total of ten dishes are perfect, all of which use the freshest local ingredients.

Yun Guo ate very comfortably, and even used half a bowl of rice.

She ate comfortably, but Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian were a little trembling. It was an honor to sit and dine with the Empress Dowager, but she ate very carefully, for fear of leaving a bad impression in front of the Empress Dowager.

Princess Heshuoxijing is the most relaxed, she doesn't know how many times she has accompanied Yunguo to dinner.

Then the empress looked quite natural. Although she was not as comfortable as Princess Shuojijing, she was the person who had the most contact with Yunguo in Yinhu's harem. The more contacts she had, the less panic she would feel about her.

After eating and eating, Yunguo happily strolled around the West Lake again.

In the West Lake in March in Yangchun, there is no special red scenery of lotus leaves covering the sky and reflecting the sun, but the willows sprout new buds, which is another beautiful scenery.

Yinhu stayed in Jiangnan for half a year before returning to the capital with Yunguo.

After staying in Jiangnan for such a long time, even Yunguo, who doesn't care about anything now, knows that Yinhu probably has other purposes in going to Jiangnan.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Beijing, Yinhu made two major moves-the officials and gentry paid food and established a navy.

The gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River does not pay taxes, so as long as there is a scholar in the family, they can avoid taxes, let alone those scholarly families.

Then there is the huge benefit of the foreign thirteen companies, which makes Yinhu really tempted.

Yinhu is still in her 40s, she is still young, and the blood in her heart has not cooled down.

Naturally, Yinhu is more inclined to build a caravan by himself and make a lot of money than conservatively opening a treaty port and charging high tariffs.

But if you want to make a big profit, some forces that occupy Macau and Hong Kong privately, as well as the Japanese pirates who can't kill them on the seaside, are the biggest obstacles. You must have one or even more powerful navies.

He is a person who has been on the battlefield, so Yinhu naturally understands the fact that big fists are the truth.

The government and gentry's payment of food and the establishment of a navy naturally aroused heated discussions across the country.

Of course, many people are in favor of this matter, and many people are against it.

It is a pity that this time it is not the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, but the Aixinjueluo family of the Qing Dynasty who are in power this time.

Officials and gentry's payment of food and the establishment of the navy are all for the benefit of the Eight Banners. Naturally, the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners agree with it. Therefore-no matter how noisy those Hanchen literati are, the officials and gentry's payment of food will be carried out meticulously.

Now the world is ruled by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty relies on the Eight Banners. As long as the Eight Banners agree with each other, then any policy can be implemented.

As for the navy, the Qing Dynasty actually had a navy. When the first emperor recovered the Ryukyu Treasure Island, he used the navy.

But this navy, in fact, can only be called a navy, and it is still far from a real navy.

Although the navy is going to fight at sea, most of the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty are landlubbers, but this is military power, and there are still many people staring eagerly and wanting to take a bite.

After all, there are only so many high-ranking official positions in the Qing Dynasty, one radish and one hole, even if the navy is just a decoration, the qualifications of the gangsters are very good!It is convenient to climb up in the future.

It is said that it is military power, how could Yinhu give it to other people.So this matter was dumped by Yinhu to the triplets again, and only the triplets could make Yinhu completely at ease, more at ease than anyone else.

So the triplets were kicked to the south by Yinhu again, of course there were other people besides the triplets.

This navy, what is the most important thing?

Of course it's the boat and the cannon on it!

The triplets were in charge of training the naval soldiers, and naturally someone had to be responsible for these supporting things, so Yinhu dragged a few people over.

The author has something to say: PS: Hangcheng is Hangzhou, afraid of river crabs~

It is the credit of Yongzheng that the officials and gentry pay the food. I hereby explain it, but I think that given the environment of the Qing Dynasty at that time, any emperor in power would do this~
