Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 420 Death of the Empress Dowager
Time flies, and another four years have passed in the blink of an eye. The changes in the Qing Dynasty in the past four years have been brought to the common people from the original government.

The Department of Agriculture and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs formulated a series of laws related to agriculture. For example, the price of grain was uniformly priced and sold by the imperial court. Anyone who maliciously raised the price to make bad money would have his money confiscated and confiscated. If the circumstances were serious, he would be sentenced to exile. Three generations of descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination to be officials.

Individuals with less than one hundred acres of fertile land can pay agricultural taxes as normal. If the amount exceeds this amount, there will naturally be no less taxation. However, to a certain extent, some big landlords who hoarded fertile land and some officials who thought about it Officials who do not have to pay agricultural taxes.

In agriculture, big landlords, merchants and officials suffered losses, but on the other hand, Kangxi opened up the opening of merchants, which improved the status of merchants, and the sons of merchants could also be officials in the court.

Furthermore, the relatives of ordinary officials can run some small businesses, but the imperial court has set up a special supervision agency, which is specially used to supervise court officials to prevent them from using their positions for profit.

The imperial court has already made a lot of money from maritime trade. With this foundation, Kangxi also completely liberalized maritime trade. Ordinary merchants can only organize fleets if they have the skills. A large amount of customs duties.

Even so, a large number of merchants poured into it, and the profits during the period were really considerable. The big merchants organized the fleet to go to sea alone, and those small merchants were unable to organize it alone, so many people joined forces to organize the fleet.

In this way, the barrier between the Qing Dynasty and the world was completely opened.

From time to time, KitKat Yard comes up with something new, not only in terms of entertainment, but also in terms of tools that benefit the people, such as a textile machine that is ten times faster than ordinary handcrafts. This is the result of Tong Chenger deliberately bringing a low-end version to the market .

The original textile machine is [-] times faster than the manual, but it is too fast, and it really frees the hands of the laborers at once, and the life of ordinary handicraftsmen will be impacted, and she needs a buffer.

There are also farming tools similarly. There is no limit to this. Farming tools are naturally made according to how labor-saving they are.

Last year, Kangxi had a private visit on Weibo on a whim. It was a real Weibo private visit. No one in the palace knew about it. They only told Yinzhen, and then he saw a different Qing Dynasty.

We can’t say Haiqingheyan, but people’s lives are indeed much better, and there are still many unsatisfactory places, but who can say that everything goes well and everyone goes well!
As an emperor, Kangxi felt that this side was enough. Under his rule, the Qing Dynasty seemed to be a prosperous age, not a false name that was preached, but a real prosperous age.

……

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager felt a little uncomfortable after dinner, so she asked the nanny to invite the imperial physician. The imperial physician came and checked the pulse, only to find that something was wrong.

It's not a disease, it's just old age.

Within two days, the Queen Mother was bedridden. When Kangxi knew about it, he personally served her to drink medicine by the bedside, and made himself tired and sick. Kangxi was already in his early sixties.

No matter how filial Kangxi was, the empress dowager left in less than half a month.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone can't avoid going through it.

Kangxi suffered from a serious illness. After the funeral of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi lost some energy. After all, there is no need to go back to the past. He has seen the Qing Dynasty under his rule, and he has lived up to the country left by his ancestors. Thinking like this, He was suddenly tired too.

Recalling the past, the faces of many people are blurred. Over the past 60 years, he has experienced too many things, ups and downs, thrilling ups and downs, lost his father and mother when he was young, ascended the throne at the age of eight, fought with four auxiliary ministers, flattened San Francisco, Conscientiously and conscientiously governing the Qing Dynasty, balancing the relationship between all parties, and the years of infighting between the sons, many trivial matters in the harem...

Thinking back carefully, his life was full of ups and downs, and after the imperial doctor gave him a pulse diagnosis, he wanted to rest for the remaining few years.

He is reluctant to let go of his rights, but he is already old, and he can't accept his old age. The Qing Dynasty has a better future, but that future will be created by his son and grandson.

Thinking this way, Kangxi made a decision.
