Chapter 629 The old man's decision ([-])

On the seventh day of November in the 53rd year of Kangxi, the old man, who had been ill for more than half a month, finally came to the court for the first time. On the [-]th, he mobilized various soldiers and horses to prepare for another battle. Apart from that, he had no other purpose. He never even mentioned who would be the commander-in-chief, nor did he expressly say how many troops would be sent for the next battle. Everything seemed to be in the clouds In the fog, people can't see what's inside.

The old man's cloud-covered behavior seems mysterious, but in fact it is just deceiving his ears and stealing his bell, so he can only be fooled by those ministers who don't know the truth. As for the third master, fourth master and others, they all understand it Well, there is nothing else, the commander-in-chief this time is undoubtedly the old fourteen, for this sake, he will not have any ambitions for the commander-in-chief, and obeying God's will has become a part of the problem Righteousness, so, just one day after the Great Dynasty, the third master, fourth master, and eighth master all wrote this chapter, unanimously recommending the old fourteenth to lead the battle. There was no suspense at all, but the question of the candidate for the admiral of Sichuan suddenly heated up. No matter what, the fourth master and his son went to sponsor Nian Gengyao, while the third master and his son jointly sponsored Geng Sanbiao. It immediately became the focus of all parties' attention.

In terms of background, Nian Gengyao is one of the few servants of the fourth master, while Geng Sanbiao is obviously a subordinate of the old sixteen, but no one in the civil and military courts knows that this person is actually Hongqing's disciple. On this point, it is basically the same; in terms of seniority in the army, although Nian Gengyao was born as a Jinshi, his military experience is obviously much worse than that of Geng Sanbiao who has a lot of military achievements; in terms of ability, he was born as a Jinshi Nian Gengyao's literary and military skills seem to be much better than Geng Sanbiao who was born in the army; in terms of official rank, Geng Sanbiao is now the deputy general of the Henan Admiral's Mansion, compared to Nian Gengyao's wife Guan Shen It will be one level higher. Generally speaking, both sides are good at winning games, but it is difficult to distinguish between them. In addition, the matter involves two princes and elder brothers. Grandpa's side is no exception.

All the ministers were discussing indiscriminately, but the old man never said a word on this matter. All the chapters written by the third and fourth masters were like sinking into the sea, without even a wave. But the old man didn't say anything at all, the matter seemed to be at an impasse. After discussing for a while, the courtiers saw that there was no movement, so they stopped paying attention to this matter. Nothing else, the end of the year is approaching, and everyone is very busy , apart from being entangled in official business, how can I have the time to care about other people's business.

It's the end of the year, and Hong Qing is also very busy. Not only are there countless year-end summary reports to be reviewed, but also various plans for the coming year must be approved urgently, and a large number of weapons demand reports sent by the Ministry of War also need to be planned. Zhou Quan, every day is busy from dawn to dusk, really wishing that one person could be used as two envoys. Although he is concerned about the Sichuan admiral, he is unable to pay more attention to it. Besides, the old man doesn’t say anything, he has nothing to say. No, if you really mess around with the book again, you can only ask for trouble, there is no way, Hong Qing can only bury this matter in her heart, and plan to find a suitable time to mention it to the old man in the next year .

"Your Majesty ordered that Xuanren County Wang Hongqing will meet you at the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Hong Qing has been busy with the affairs of the Ministry for the past half month, and has never been to see the old man, but the old man obviously has not forgotten Hong Qing, no, early in the morning, not long after Hong Qing started working, he met Qin Wuyong led two young eunuchs to the Ministry of Works, and announced the old man's oral instructions in a serious manner.

"Grandson leads the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The old man has an oral order, thank you is the meaning in the question, but there is nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty is waiting."

Qin Wuyong is a cautious person, although he is quite familiar with Hong Qing, and he has not missed the banknotes from Hong Qing, but he has always been very tight-lipped and never talkative, and this time is no exception, even if it is feeling When Hong Qing flicked the banknote into her sleeve, she didn't see any embarrassment on her face, she just waved her hands expressionlessly, and urged her in a calm tone.

"Eunuch Qin, please wait a moment, let Xiaowang tidy up."

Although Hong Qing didn't expect the old man to come here at this moment, but the preparations for the face-to-face were made early in the morning, nothing else, the year is approaching, and the summary of the Ministry of Industry for a year must be presented face-to-face The old man was the one who made it. For this, Hong Qing had prepared the corresponding playbook long ago, but it had been kept in the copywriting drawer. And submitted the matter, and then sued Qin Wuyong, then walked to the back of the copy, took out the summary notebook, and filled in the blank spots in the notebook with the data that had just been compiled recently, blowing After drying the ink stains, he stepped out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, accompanied by Qin Wuyong, and went straight to the deep palace...

Um?Why is it a solo performance, which play is the old man singing?

Just now when they entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they saw the old man sitting on the head, and there was no one else in the hall except for a few eunuchs who accompanied him, Hong Qing couldn't help feeling guilty when this happened. Mutter.

"Grandson kowtowed to Huang Mafa!"

You can make murmurs in your heart, but etiquette cannot be neglected, this point, Hong Qing knew it clearly, did not dare to delay, rushed to the front of the emperor, knelt down on the ground, respectfully It is a great gift to pay homage.

"Well, it's free."

The old man's spirit is quite good, he doesn't look like he just had a serious illness not long ago, and his voice is full of energy and extraordinarily powerful.

"Thank you Emperor Mafalong, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Since the old man shouted, Hong Qing didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily kowtowed her head, thanking her politely, then stood up, bowed her waist slightly, and put on a respectful attitude The well-behaved appearance of the instruction.

"Are all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry going smoothly?"

The old man was obviously very satisfied with Hong Qing's humility, but he didn't express much, he just nodded his head approvingly, and asked about the official business in a calm voice.

"If you go back to Huang Mafa, thanks to your blessings, all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry have gone smoothly. My grandson has already prepared a summary report for the year, and I would like Huang Mafa to read it."

Hearing that the old man came up and asked about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing's doubts in his heart inevitably deepened, but he didn't dare to show it to his face, but hurriedly took out the yellow book from his large sleeves. Holding the silk-covered zhezi with both hands, he raised it high above his head, and responded respectfully.

"Hand it up!"

Seeing that Hong Qing's repertoire had been prepared, the old man's mouth immediately showed a gratified smile, but he didn't show much, he just gave instructions in a peaceful voice.

"twitter!"

Since the old man had an order, Qin Wuyong, who was waiting by his side, dared not delay a bit, hurriedly responded, walked down the front door in a hurry, stretched out his hand to take the booklet in Hong Qing's hand, and quickly rushed to the front of the imperial court, respectfully Respectfully, he was about to put the excerpt on the dragon case.

"Xuan!"

The old man obviously didn't intend to read the thick book in person, before Qin Wuyong put the book down, he waved his hand and gave the order concisely.

"twitter!"

After the old man opened his mouth, Qin Wuyong dared not to obey, he hastily and respectfully agreed, stood up straight, turned the folding book, cleared his throat slightly, and loudly proclaimed: "Minister, Aixinjueluo? Hongqing has a book to write to His Majesty, and to honor His Majesty's great kindness, all matters of the Ministry of Industry have been reviewed and concluded last year. The results are as follows: The Department of Cleaning Up Officials, 31 palaces in the inner palace, 27 palaces in various places, and ten palaces in the Huangzhuang Three places cost a total of 87 yuan, the main body of which has been completed, and the remaining three projects are still under construction; Yu Hengqing official department, built 32 vehicles and 32 palace books...; manufacturing warehouse, newly cast 180 heavy guns , 21 seven light rifles..., the research institute, a total of 42 new inventions, 41 are still under research, and the 380 inventions awarded in May last year have all been completed and put on the market. As of the 310th of this month, Our Ministry of Industry has accumulated a dividend of [-] taels, and it is estimated that after mass production next year, the dividend will be as huge as tens of millions..."

"stop!"

The melodies that Hong Qing submitted were mostly bureaucratic articles, and what was mentioned above were just routine reports. Although the old man listened to it, he didn't take it seriously, but Qin Wuyong read the results of the invention and promotion. At this moment, the spirit of the old man suddenly lifted, and he raised his hand to stop it.

Hey, the old man is probably really scared this time!
When the old man called to stop so abruptly, Qin Wuyong was taken aback immediately, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he hurriedly bowed his body, and lowered his head in panic, but Hongqing was lucky, even though she was standing firmly Standing still, but in the bottom of my heart, I am very proud, nothing else, just the half-year dividend is enough to be worth the tax of Zhejiang Province, which is known as the most affluent place, compared with ordinary provinces such as Fujian , has more than doubled, and this is just the beginning. After the market matures in the next year, the Ministry of Industry's income will still have a huge leap. If all the inventions and creations are fully promoted Going forward, the income of just one department of the Ministry of Industry is enough to be compared with the taxation of the whole country. Such achievements are not insignificant, and Hong Qing has the confidence to be secretly proud.

"What was the Institute's previous revenue, huh?"

The old man ignored Qin Wuyong's trembling, first glanced at Hong Qing, then raised his brows, and asked some questions in disbelief.

"Returning to His Majesty, it is 380, 310, [-], and [-] taels."

As soon as the old man said this, Qin Wuyong quickly glanced at the notebook, and replied with a trembling tone.

"Oh?"

Hearing Qin Wuyong's answer in this way, the old man's complexion suddenly brightened, and there was a bright light in the eyes looking at Hong Qing...
