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

Yinfeng suppressed his temper and reinstalled the steam engine by himself. It took little effort, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.So after seeing the complete steam engine he made, he disassembled it as it was, pointed at the parts and said viciously: "Huaiqing, please send this thing to Jingshan." Azusa likes to assemble his things without his permission, this time let him assemble as much as he can!

Huaiqing didn't dare to disobey him at this moment, so he had no choice but to say yes, and signaled the other eunuchs to come forward and tidy up with a wink.But these parts are all made of steel, and they are really heavy. Even if Yinfeng has been practicing bows and horses all the year round, it takes some effort to install them by himself.What's more, the little eunuchs are still young, so naturally they don't have much strength on their bodies, so they are inevitably slow to clean up.

Yinreng was at a time when he was not feeling well. Seeing the slave walking slowly, he became even more depressed. He simply left all the obtrusive parts on the floor and walked towards the study by himself.

But as he walked, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.So he stopped and said to the system: "Now, find out all the information you have stored about artillery."

"What does His Royal Highness want that for?" the system asked curiously.This His Highness swore just now that he would never give Dai Zi any artillery information again, and now he is asking for it again, turning back and slapping himself in the face?What to do?

Yinfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer, "I have to choose some cannons that can be made with the current craftsman's strength, draw out the blueprints myself, and then send a letter to let Dai Zi know that there is such a thing. Tell him to know, but Don’t let him see it. He is obsessed with this way, he heard that there is but can’t see it, so he might be so anxious.”

As if he was still puzzled, his tone became more serious, and he said sullenly: "If you want him to know what will happen to you if you steal someone's favor!"

"...You are so naive, Your Highness." The system rolled its eyes slightly.

No complaints, it finally gave Yinreng the information on all the artillery that was not more than a hundred years away from the present at his request.After all, it is also indirectly promoting the development of weapons in the Qing Dynasty. His Royal Highness has this awareness, which is better than his own firepower has been lagging behind and is used to it.

As for why it is not given for more than a hundred years?The system twisted its small humanoid head, and shook its shoulders in the empty space. With Daqing's current technical ability, it can't meet the requirements of making such a cannon, dear.

On the other hand, after the parts were sent back to Jingshan, Dai Zi didn't understand Yinreng's feelings at all, and thought that the prince valued his subordinates, so he specially sent back those who supported him to continue his research.He happily asked someone to bring the parts back to his tent.

Installing it once is really not enough for him to play with. He needs to disassemble it a few more times before he can fully grasp this thing.

In addition to mastering it by himself, Dai Zi also plans to do another technical training among the craftsmen in Jingshan.After all, the craftsmen are also thinking about where this thing should be used. The sooner everyone knows, the sooner this thing will be useful.It doesn't count as disappointing the wishes of His Highness the Crown Prince.

However, the Jingshan craftsmen were transferred to Jingshan after careful selection. Among them, a wave of them had figured out how to use the steam engine before receiving Dai Zi's technical training.

In fact, it is also accidental.

Except for the one returned by Yinrong, another steam engine assembled and disassembled by Dai Zi is in the hands of craftsmen.It was specially approved by Dai Zi for them to study carefully.

After the craftsmen installed the steam engine, they experimented around to see what it would do.So they aimed at the steelmaking stove by accident, and then they discovered that this thing is actually very useful for the steelmaking stove.

Under such a coincidence of time and place, they accidentally shortened the smelting time of a batch of steel.The craftsmen were naturally overjoyed, and quickly reported the news to Dai Zi.

Now, the depressed person was replaced by Dai Zi.The aggrieved look on his face was exactly the same as that of Yinreng who was far away in Beijing.I haven't made a move yet, so how could someone snatch an invention!

It can only be said that the way of heaven is reincarnation.Before His Royal Highness' revenge plan started, Dai Zi was hit by an invisible "grenade".

Some people are happy and some people are sad.Those who are happy are the craftsmen, and those who are worried are Kangxi, the reigning king of the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi's worries did not originate from the messages in Beijing, nor did the officials try to test them in disguise every now and then, but rather from Jin Fu, the chief engineer of the river channel, as usual every six months.The entire excerpt is concise and to the point without any long speeches. After a straightforward greeting and hello, it can be summed up in two words: I want money.

Although this is a commonplace thing, Kangxi still frowned.

Although the merits of building the dam will benefit the future, no matter when he goes, it will be counted as his political achievements, and it will be added to Aixinjueluo's name.But the silver cost is too much!Kangxi couldn't even count how much money he had invested into the Yellow River from the start of work to the present.

River workers, manpower, and stone materials all cost money, but Jin Fu wanted to be justified every time, and the book said that "people in the world will definitely appreciate the emperor's grace" at the end.He likes to hear his superiors praise him for being true, but he doesn't know why, after reading too many such books, he always has the illusion that Jin Fu will take advantage of his stupid money.

Kangxi put down the booklet, supported his forehead and sighed. If all these manpower were returned to farming, the land tax in the Qing Dynasty might increase by a few percent next year.

Speaking of land tax, this is another big headache for him.

Kangxi picked up another booklet from the desk, and the gloomy look in his eyes became more serious.

Not only in Guangdong and Guangxi, but also in Hubei and Hunan have found many peasant households exchanging new land to evade taxes. The large number and the wide area involved are shocking.If everything is dealt with strictly, it will inevitably make the people talk about the harsh government of the court.Things hurt their kind, and the restoration of people's strength may return to before the land reclamation.

The various arrangements in the past few years have not all turned into fetching water from a bamboo basket.

Kangxi knocked on the eaves of the table, mentally going through the things that need to be bothered recently.Whether it is taxation or river work, after all, it is not all for money.

Throughout the Qing Dynasty, from top to bottom, from officials to civilians, tens of millions of mouths needed to eat and wear clothes, and where the money came from all depended on his decision to be the emperor.

"Silver, silver" Kangxi muttered to himself, "Dongying..."

How could he not know about the things that were spread all over the world, but if he was not fully sure, he still didn't want Yao Qisheng to easily send troops to attack Dongpu.

One is scruples about face.The Qing Dynasty's attitude towards the surrounding small countries is very important, both to suppress and to appease.The combination of rigidity and softness makes people dare not underestimate it.But in any case, it would be disrespectful for a big country to easily destroy a country.

The size of the country is already enough to make neighbors fearful. If Dongying is eliminated now, it will be tantamount to giving the surrounding small countries an excuse to form an alliance against the Qing Dynasty.Regardless of South Vietnam, Burma, or the 49 parts of Mongolia in the north, for the imperial court, it is no different from a small country in meaning.Both an ally and a potential enemy.

The second is that the Fujian navy was raised by spending a lot of real money. Even if it only hurts a hair, Yao Qisheng may continue to ask for money again.

Kangxi felt his flesh hurt just thinking about it.At this moment, he felt that he was somewhat similar to those country gentry and landowners.When I heard the long-term workers below asking for money for reasons, I felt that they were cheating their own money in disguise.

This matter has to be considered again.After sitting for a long time, his shoulders inevitably ached. Kangxi moved his arms, moved his eyes away from the dozen memorials, and said in a loud voice, "Go pass on Yue Zhongen."

Yue Zhongen is a Han nationality and is currently the Minister of the Household Department.Although he is the deputy, he is in charge of the accounts of the river engineering.

Liang Jiugong responded to "嗻" and asked his young disciple to pass it on.

Yue Zhongen also came quickly, within half an hour, he was already standing in Zhaoren Hall.He is only about forty years old, he looks like a white-faced scholar, and he is a hardworking person, so his complexion is quite weathered.

Seeing Kangxi, he tossed off his horseshoe sleeves to greet him neatly, and when he heard the cry, he quickly got up, and took out the pre-prepared booklet from his bosom and presented it.He had already estimated the time, and he had already planned in his mind where to dispatch the 60 taels of silver needed by He Gong.It was written a few days ago, and it is being prepared for the emperor to inquire.

It just so happened that the merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang paid some commercial taxes, and with the cash in the library, they could just make up for the cost of the river project.It's just that this year is over, and next year's money is still not available.

Kangxi took the notebook from Liang Jiugong, glanced at it for a while, and found that the briefness was very satisfactory.He always likes subordinates to do things down-to-earth, so he nodded his approval to Yue Zhongen, "That's right, your strategy is very thoughtful."

This brochure not only lists the dispatch of silver, but also calculates the cost of several places used by the river worker, the silver cost of the river worker's labor, and how long it is expected to last.In other words, this is a very clear account from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Yue Zhongen felt a little relieved, but he still had a small doubt in his heart, so he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I haven't figured out where to dispatch the Hegong Yinzi for the coming year..."

In a word, Kangxi's brows that had just been stretched raised again, and his face was rigid.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I understand, you should step back first."

"Your Majesty, leave." Yue Zhongen didn't receive the exact comment, his eyes were slightly raised, and he could only see the expression on the emperor's face that he was trying to suppress.He didn't dare to ask any more questions, and bowed out of the hall.

Kangxi flipped through the booklet again, pinched shallow impressions on the amount of silver with his fingertips, put down the booklet and told Liang Jiugong, "Grind."

Liang Jiugong hurried forward.He didn't stop in his hands, and he didn't stop in his heart, "It seems that the Emperor Dongying finally decided to fight. I don't know how much money he can get in exchange for this news."

There is no way, not only the court is short of money, but those slaves are also short of money.

But where is gold and silver enough?

But Kangxi's decision was different from what he thought. The purpose he wrote down was not to send Shi Lang to send troops immediately, but to ask Yao Qisheng to take the navy to Dongying to investigate first, to confirm the strength of Dongying's troops, and then go. Decide whether to fight.

This is also another concern of Kangxi. Even if Dongpu really has silver mines, it is necessary to confirm the specific location first.

After the decree was written, Kangxi blew on the ink, put the folded white paper into the letter and handed it to Liang Jiugong, "Eight hundred miles, hurry up, and hand it to Yao Qisheng."

Liang Jiugong took the paper and gave his little apprentice a wink as he withdrew.The little apprentice understands.

This news may soon reach the important minister's house in the near future.As for the price, I believe Liang Jiugong will be very satisfied.
