Kangxi stared at the scattered folders on the ground, unable to suppress his anger.But the anger is the anger, he does not intend to immediately order to deal with those merchants who went to sea privately.Although these are the best tools for killing chickens and monkeys, if they deal with them too much, I am afraid that if the imperial court wants to raise business taxes in the future, they will be boycotted by all merchants.

He had to think of a better way to deal with it, so he couldn't waste this opportunity.

Yinfeng knew that the news would come later.Because Ta Khan Ama hadn't made up his mind on how to deal with it, he didn't want to let the officials discuss the matter in the early court.So he can't show that he knows too early.

But when he heard the news, Yinreng subconsciously thought that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to persuade him, Khan Ama, to send someone to Europe.

He suppressed his surging emotions and asked the system: "You first told Gu, how did the Qing Dynasty decline step by step?"

"Has Your Highness been fooled by the ledger?" The system laughed, "When we reviewed the history of the world a few days ago, we also said that we did not catch up with the trend of the industrial revolution, and we still kept our old ways and closed our doors to the outside world."

"Closing the country and closing the country" Yinreng's eyes showed hostility, "Khan Ama banned the sea, the original intention was to prevent Japanese pirates from disturbing the people, but the fourth brother and his good sons locked up the entire Qing Dynasty more and more tightly."

The system naturally knew that he made such a weird excuse to defend his father, so he didn't get serious with him on this topic, but instead said: "So Your Highness didn't always want to find opportunities to let your father Is the Qing Dynasty allowed to communicate with other countries?"

Yinfeng recalled all his plans before, shook his head and said: "Khan Ama's sacred heart is unpredictable, so it's not so easy to get things done. The Europeans came, Gukeng took the opportunity to take him several 10 taels of silver, Khan Ama saw it Benefits, but not fully tempted."

"Gu has been thinking about how to persuade Khan Ama to think that Europe is full of gold and silver, so that he will be tempted to send people to Europe." Yinfeng pondered, "But now that I think about it, this idea may be at the beginning. It's just wrong."

"What does Your Highness mean?" The system was more and more confused by what he said.Aren't they talking about the reason for the demise of the Qing Dynasty?Why did you talk about sending people to Europe again?

"I want Khan Ama to see the world outside the Qing Dynasty, and let Khan Ama realize that self-styledness will only make the Qing Dynasty degenerate. Unexpectedly, Khan Ama didn't pay attention to the foreign country, nor was it easy. One who is tempted by gold and silver."

The system couldn't help but agree.This is true, the rumors about silver hidden in Dongpu in Beijing were so strong before, His Highness's father did not send troops to fight immediately, but only ordered the navy to check in detail.If it wasn't for Shi Lang's disobedience and insistence on going his own way, the Qing army would have just embarked on the road to attack Dongpu.

"So I have to give up the way to persuade Khan Ama with the riches of Europe." Yinfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Some merchants go to sea privately, which has definitely violated Khan Ama's most intolerable rebellion. He hates the common people who try to disobey the Holy Spirit." It is better than hating official corruption. Now the lone soldier is making a dangerous move, using the businessman's private trip to the sea to test Khan Ama's final attitude towards the opening of the country to the Qing Dynasty."

"Your Highness, don't be so hasty!" the system said anxiously, "Perhaps taking it slowly is the right way." It wants to facilitate the opening of the country as soon as possible, but it always feels that their Highness still has a lot to do, and it is not yet available. He had to directly confront his father.

Yinfeng shook his head and said, "It's too slow. The Qing Dynasty has already made sufficient preparations. Have you forgotten? Since the foreigners in Britain left, trade between the North and the South has become more frequent. Even taxes are more expensive than five It increased more than ten times when merchants were not encouraged to trade freely a year ago."

And apart from the royal family, merchants can't wait to earn greater benefits.If he waited any longer, he was afraid that those businessmen who came out in an endless stream who wanted to find foreigners for gold would make Khan Ama even more angry, so that he was determined to block all the ways for the Qing Dynasty to explore the world.

"Then what will His Highness do?"

Yinfeng pursed his lips and said, "I will find a suitable opportunity and suggest that Khan Ama order the imperial court to form a merchant fleet to go to Europe."

"This may be too risky." The system repeatedly denied, "Your father will suspect that you have degenerated into collaborating with businessmen in order to stabilize your status."

"Of course Gu won't go to convince Khan Ama first, naturally he has to convince several Gu's masters first." Yinfeng's eyes sparkled.Especially the one he valued the most, he must recommend Khan Ama for him in order to achieve the effect he wants.

Although he gradually changed his plan and then acted, Yinfeng still stopped Zhang Ying and the others in the early morning of the second day. The excuse he made was also very old-fashioned. Under the guise of asking for advice, he invited the masters to Yuqing palace.

Only this time, he didn't invite Mingzhu.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Mingzhu had already made thousands of turns in her mind.For a moment, I thought that it might be something about the Ministry of Household Affairs, which caused His Royal Highness to be in a hurry, and Zhang Ying and others were needed to help out.For a moment, I thought again, could it be that after the elder brother left, the prince would not need him so he would be kicked off the boat?

But he only looked at it for a while and then walked away.He had a premonition that His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely find him in the end.

In the study room of Yuqing Palace, several masters and apprentices were already sitting in a row, and they were having an important conversation related to the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Highness wants to persuade the emperor to send an envoy to Britain?" Zhang Ying was confused.I heard that the Ministry of Household Affairs is currently undergoing major reforms, and the emperor relies heavily on His Highness, and has entrusted His Highness with all the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts. He thought that His Highness would be so busy just busy with this matter, but he did not expect that, Your Highness still has other thoughts.

Moreover, the emperor has never let go of Haiban, why did His Highness suddenly have such a bold idea?

Xiong Cilu also disagreed, "Your Highness's idea is too bold. The emperor always likes your highness to be steady. Now that you have proposed such an idea rashly, I'm afraid the emperor will not like it."

"That's why I want to ask the masters to mention this trick in front of Khan Ama, and I don't intend to mention it to Khan Ama myself." Yinfeng laughed.

"What?" Zhang Ying, who was drinking tea, heard this and spewed out the tea in shock.It almost splashed Tang Bin's face.

Tang Bin didn't bother to wipe it, but handed the handkerchief to Zhang Ying and said anxiously: "Your Highness, how many of us would you like to pass the message to the emperor?"

"Ahem..." Zhang Yingke's body couldn't help trembling, and finally calmed down before he apologized: "The old minister is rude, Your Highness, don't blame me."

Yinfeng winked and asked Huaiqing to come forward to help him beat his back, "Gu knows that this is a big deal, and the masters are definitely not willing. But the masters also saw it before, and the foreigners are holding a lot of gold and silver in their hands. Gu just thinks , it’s a pity that the silver is in their hands.”

"So it's for silver." Xiong Cilu breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was relieved, he remembered that Dongpu had just laid down a silver mine, and His Highness shouldn't be so heavy on profits.

Sui was puzzled again: "Besides gold and silver, do you have other ideas?"

Seeing that the eyes of the three masters were fixed on his face, Yin Reng touched the tip of his nose, half joking and half serious, and said: "To tell the truth to the masters, Gu already knew about the booklet just received from Khan Ama, and some merchants tried to go to sea privately. Looking for foreigners."

Seeing that the faces of the three people showed disapproval of his prying into the Sacred Heart, Yinfeng hurriedly added: "I only want to share the worries of Ama Khan, so I occasionally have eyes and ears. And I feel in my heart that only Qianri is a thief. There is no one who guarded against thieves the day before. Instead of calling Khan Ama who has been worrying about the sea and can’t control it, it’s better to set a precedent and let the court take the lead, and it’s more decent to do it.”

Just now when I first heard that some merchants went out to sea privately, the expressions of Xiong Cilu and Zhang Ying became a little more dignified.Hearing that Yinfeng said it was for the dignity of the royal family, the two looked at each other, and they both saw deep thought in each other's eyes.

Zhang Ying looked away, cleared his throat, felt a little more comfortable, and said slowly: "The eunuch Sanbao went to the West in the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that he did not find a land richer than the Central Plains. Maybe it was the foreigner who spent all his country. Also unknown."

He wanted to convince Yinreng by relying on the fact that Fanbang was not as rich as the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't want Yinreng to know more about the charm of lands outside the Qing Dynasty than he did.

"Whether Fang Wai is rich or not, you have to see it with your own eyes." Yinfeng said meaningfully.

"What Your Highness said makes sense, but..." Seeing that he was so firm, the masters who originally disagreed with this matter all hesitated.

Zhang Ying frowned so much that he was about to pinch the mosquito to death, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, let the old minister go back and think about how to present his feelings to the emperor."

Yinfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said leisurely: "No hurry, apart from a few masters, I have to ask Ming Xiang again to ensure that these arguments stand in front of Khan Ama."

What he said was calm and composed, and the few people who heard it seemed as if they had just been forced to eat bitter melon.

Why does this sound like His Highness dislikes us for not paying attention to our errands.

But being depressed, the few people still honestly pledged, "I will try my best to help His Highness achieve his wish!"

Yinfeng's goal was achieved, and he stood up and thanked him solemnly with the gift of his disciples: "If this can be done, the masters will definitely be the greatest contributors to the Qing Dynasty!"

"Don't dare." Zhang Ying and the others had wry smiles on their faces.Let us Han officials persuade us to say this, and it may not necessarily make the emperor angry.

Yinfeng sent the three masters away, Huaiqing came up to him and asked: "Prince, is this servant going to invite Prime Minister Ming again?"

Yinfeng knocked hard on his forehead, "Why panic, let's talk about it another day." After a while, he has to review European history with the system again, and today's thoughts are exhausted. Seeing such a complicated matter as the old fox, he must Just be prepared.

"Yes." Huaiqing hissed while covering his forehead, and bowed in response.

With the movement of Yuqing Palace, it must be said that Brother Suo is very lively.

The fourth elder brother just got a good job, and the other brothers who heard the news rushed to congratulate him.

Yinzhen smiled shyly, pretending to calmly order the servants to accept the congratulatory gift, trying hard to hold back the excitement from the bottom of his heart, and said, "You guys are interested."

The eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother came together. The ninth elder brother handed over the gift and muttered in a low voice: "The prince is partial, and he thinks about the fourth brother in everything."

Yinzhen didn't want to argue with him, so he pretended not to hear.But the third elder brother who sat on the side for a long time also echoed: "Yes, the prince is eccentric."

If Brother Nine's words could be taken as a joke, then Brother Three's casual emotion made Yinzhen feel ashamed.
