After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Yinfeng's class resumed as usual, but something went wrong on Dai Zi's side.This incident is not developing in a bad direction.In short, it is definitely not bad for the industrial development of the Qing Dynasty.

After making the parts according to the drawings given by the prince, Dai Zi became more and more curious about ready-made things.With his curiosity, he boldly "robbed" the parts that should have been delivered to Yinfeng, and prepared himself to study slowly.

This is not without someone reminding him, his deputy warned him several times, "The prince in Beijing is in a hurry, my lord must not miss the prince's important matter on a whim." Put away the "greedy" little eyes, it belongs to the prince, we dare not embezzle it privately!

Dai Zi didn't take it seriously, he was researching the key point, so naturally he didn't want to be disturbed anymore.Impatiently, he waved his hand to appease the deputy and said, "The prince is magnanimous, so he can naturally understand the curiosity of a fellow like me."

The deputy had no choice but to shut up.I pray in my heart that the prince is really as his own adults said, magnanimous and able to understand people of the same way.

Dai Zi was procrastinating and not handing in the work, and Yinfeng was really anxious to wait in the capital. He sent people to urge him several times, but the reply he got was that there was a small problem with the parts and molds.He suspected in his heart that according to Dai Zi's ability, it shouldn't be so slow.

But he didn't know that Dai Zi had almost done what he wanted to study.

Dai Zi was addicted to the research of semi-finished steam engine parts, and he didn't think about food and drink all day long, so he devoted himself to the assembly of the steam engine.He carefully looked at the finished parts against the drawings given by the prince, slowly pondered them little by little, and assembled them. After ten days and a half months, he actually understood some principles and put together most of the steam engine.

With the results, he became more and more interested in it. In addition to the parts Yinfeng wanted, he even ordered the craftsmen to make a lot more.With such a request, I intend to send the part back to the capital except for the part that the prince wants, and try to make an identical one myself.

With Dai Zi being so caring, the craftsmen followed suit to make fun of it.They are all veterans of making weapons. Although they feel rare about this item, they are not laymen who don't understand it at all.So when Dai Zi was indulging in it, the craftsmen would join in the fun and discuss the principles together.After coming and going, Jingshan gradually developed a tendency to hold technical seminars with Dai Zi, the head contractor, in his spare time.

What about Jingshan has little to do with the current Beijing and China.

In the 28th year of Kangxi, at the end of September, the autumn harvest has already passed.When Kangxi came in, he was worried about a book written by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.This letter is different from the previous papers for asking for peace. It contains real state affairs, and it is said that it is the land tax collection that is the most troublesome thing for the imperial court.

In the 20th year of Kangxi, the imperial court issued a decree of grace, which was written in black and white in the notice issued to the various governments, encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland, and the reclaimed wasteland will not be taxed for a few years.

Because the officials at the lower level wanted to encourage the people to reclaim wasteland for the sake of their political achievements, even though it was clearly stated that the land would not be collected within three years, when the time came, the government officials would just pretend to forget or not know the regulations, and continue to pretend to be deaf. Those who are dumb do not collect taxes from the new fields.

At that time, things were urgent, the entire national treasury was empty, and droughts continued in various places. The imperial court resisted the pressure to reform the tax law, and wholeheartedly worked for the welfare of Baixin.But who would have thought that the decree of grace would have changed by now.In order to fool the government into paying less taxes, the people below sold their land privately among their neighbors, and then exchanged it for new land that had just been reclaimed, thereby concealing the land tax.

Because neighbors were exchanged, the common people shielded each other, and when the government sent people to investigate, no one was willing to give a good account.In particular, Guangdong and Guangxi are the most popular places.

Kangxi read the scriptures, and anger welled up in his heart at that moment.He is the Son of Heaven, and it is generous enough to cut off his own private treasury for the common people, but who knows that the court's decree is being used by the foolish people like this, how can he not be angry.Dang even wrote a reply to ask the governor of Guangdong to investigate strictly, and emphasized that once discovered, all cultivated land will be confiscated and will never be returned.

Yinfeng knew about this shortly after the paper was presented, and he was also very angry.Originally, it was he who raised the attention of reclamation of barren land and moderate kindness, but who knew that the people became more and more daring, and did not appreciate Mu Huang's kindness, but instead learned to deceive others.

However, he didn't get angry for long before the system interrupted his anger, "Your Highness doesn't need to be so angry. Since ancient times, there have been policies and countermeasures, and it's the same wherever you go. So the fundamental thing in front of you is still the same." Clean up this situation. The people have such stupid tricks, and it’s nothing more than feeling that the tax is too heavy and they can’t afford it.”

"Khan Ama has set a decree of grace, and it's the foolish people who don't know how to be grateful, and just act greedily." Yinfeng's face did not soften, and there was a hint of violence in his eyes.The anger that was simmering in his heart couldn't dissipate no matter what.

"Why doesn't Your Highness think about it? Speaking of it, the common people will hide their land and make false reports, but it is only because of the influence of the bad environment and being oppressed by officials too much."

"It's ridiculous. Is it the official's fault that the people are greedy and ungrateful?"

The system knew why he was angry, so he said calmly: "Then think about it from another angle, if officials pay taxes to the court like the common people, would the common people dare to deceive the court so boldly?"

Yinreng's heart froze, and his ashen complexion really eased by most of it.If you really want him to say that there were no corrupt officials or officials who oppressed the people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, it would be pure nonsense.Even if there is no king's land in the whole world, those officials who only know how to fight dogs and dogs will steal many holes in this king's land.

Thinking of this, he could only hold his breath and say: "This matter is not entirely the fault of the common people."

After Yinreng figured out this point, he quickly understood that the original reclamation of wasteland and tax reform did not solve the fundamental contradiction of land, but intensified the greed of local officials.Today, the scope of taxation is still too small. Only the common people pay taxes. It is really unfair that the private property of officials’ families is changed and they do not pay taxes.

But these things can't be changed overnight, Yinfeng had to calm down first, and figured out how to solve the fundamental land conflict that had existed in the feudal class for thousands of years without hurting the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

When the royal father and son were both worried about the land, the public opinion in the capital was not affected by taxes, but a rumor that had nothing to do with the land spread.

I don't know when it started, the people in Beijing spread word of mouth, saying that the land of Dongying, not far from the Qing Dynasty, although it is not a big place, is full of silver, and everyone sleeps with silver on their pillows.It's a pity that the emperor lives in the lofty Forbidden City, so he didn't know the good news, otherwise he would definitely send someone to get it back.

Rumors were boiling and soon reached Kangxi's ears.

I really don't know when this rumor started to spread, and it was very inexplicable.Even Yinfeng, who knew something of the story, was at a loss. When he first heard it, he thought it was his elder brother Yinfeng who asked someone to spread it.After all, he only told Yinyi at that time.

But this is not the case. This rumor, which is not very clever, happened to be a disguised method of exploration from Mingzhu, one of the smartest people in Beijing.Should he go directly to Kangxi and ask why Yao Qisheng was not allowed?That is of course impossible.Although he told Eldest Brother that he would go to the emperor himself to test it out, but when he thought about it later, he still felt that it was too eye-catching for him to go to battle in person, after all, other ministers in the DPRK and China did not know about it.

Asking the people below to test it is similar to "there is no silver 300 taels here".On the contrary, it is better to let out rumors silently to be clever.As soon as he finds someone to set it off and makes it worse, the rumors in Beijing will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later. By then, we can see his intentions by seeing whether the emperor is suppressing or letting go.

But Kangxi was so focused on the land tax at this time that he couldn't be in the mood to deal with rumors.And his old man has always believed that there is no need to pay more attention to unfounded words, and they will dissipate on their own in a short time.

So the rumors took advantage of the wind and blew out of the capital all the way to the south.When rumors become more and more powerful, they cannot be completely suppressed by human beings.

At the end of October, the rumors turned a corner and returned to Beijing. At the same time, there was also a rumor that the Governor of Ryukyu, Shi Lang, had asked for an order to personally lead his troops to take Dongying.At the beginning of the rumors, the courtiers didn't pay much attention to them at first, but as time went on, someone found out in a disguised form that Yao Qisheng had already written a book and asked for an order to attack Dongpu, but he was suppressed by the emperor.Therefore, the courtiers were gradually moved by the direction of the wind, and some people even wrote a note requesting that Kangxi come forward to give a specific attitude.

It has to be said that at the moment when Kangxi was angry because of the concealment of land taxes by the people, and was so angry that he gave up the important event of the southern tour, such behavior was really very bold.

Mingzhu has been watching coldly, wanting to wait for Kangxi's approval, but Kangxi has been shelving this letter, without giving a single word of approval.

He didn't show any superficial attitude to the courtiers, but asked Yinfeng to talk to him alone.

It was the first time that Yinreng was so nervous when faced with Khan Ama's questioning.For some reason, he was questioned many times by his Khan Ama, but this time, he was extremely nervous.

Both father and son changed into regular clothes and sat opposite each other in the side hall of Qianqing Palace.

After sitting down for a long while, Kangxi drank tea by himself, without opening his mouth first.

He is still skeptical about Dongpu's silver affairs.Although there is a lot of discussion in Beijing right now, the rumors are so inexplicable that he can't help but suspect that someone did it on purpose.Before Yao Qisheng asked for an order to fight Dongying, he only informed the crown prince.

Yinfeng suppressed his guilty conscience, and after typing out the manuscript, he forced himself to be calm and said: "My son has heard the recent message from Jingzhong. In fact, it is easy to judge whether it is true or not. Khan Ama sent someone to check it out."

Kangxi still looked downcast just now, and after a while he said: "Isn't it your attention behind this matter?"

"My son has been wronged," Yinreng said with a strong smile, "My son has a lot going on recently, how can I have the time to pay attention to these things."

"It's fine if it's not." Kangxi glanced at him lightly, and said, "You go, I'll think about it again."

"Son, leave." Yinreng obediently withdrew, thinking that Khan Ahma is tempted, right?Otherwise, just continue to ignore it, why call him for questioning.

He muttered all the way back to Yuqing Palace, but unexpectedly, there happened to be a big surprise waiting for him in Yuqing Palace.

Dai Zi happened to send the parts he wanted into the palace.However, these things can no longer be called parts.Because, they are already assembled.

Yinfeng stared blankly at the steam engine in the garden, and only recovered from his surprise after looking at it for a long time.He gritted his teeth and said, "Who sent this!"

Huaiqing took a careful look at him, and said timidly, "Back to the crown prince, this was sent by Dai Zi lord early in the morning."

"Very good." Blue veins appeared on Yinreng's angry forehead, "He is very good!"

This was the first time that he hated Dai Zi's overly smart head so much.

Recently, he has been under too much pressure. Not only has he racked his brains to think about land conflicts, but he was also suspected by Khan Ama just now of having ulterior motives in confusing the people to support the rumors.Originally, the purpose of building a steam engine was to relieve the pressure properly, and then enjoy the joy of making the first steam engine in the Qing Dynasty by myself. By the way, I would like to see what else can be improved.

As a result, because of this "surprise", all this fun and learning opportunities are now deprived by Dai Zi.

Yinfeng was angry for a long time, and he knew in his heart that he definitely couldn't go to Jingshan to cover Dai Zi with a sack and beat him up just because of this.So he had no choice but to hold back his liver-colored face, like a child who didn't know how to vent his anger, and angrily disassembled the steam engine by himself, and silently assembled it again.

After assembling it, he went to his study and beat the table and shouted: "Dai Zi! Gu will never show you the blueprint of the artillery again!"

The whole process of watching the venting system of "young" children: "..."
