The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 290
Yinzhen turned around to talk about the banner people, and said: "You mean that the Jiangnan affairs can let these Eight Banners dignitaries take part?" Daiyu nodded and said: "The ancestors stipulated that the bannermen were not allowed to do business, farm, or work. This makes the only way out for banner people is to be an official or join the army. But officials and soldiers are limited, not to mention that the country does not need so many soldiers now. It’s hard. There’s nothing you can do about becoming a dandy who only knows how to fight chickens and dogs.” You can neither be an official nor join the army, and you are not allowed to do other things. Bannermen in Beijing are not allowed to leave Beijing. Such people are not allowed to go Is it possible to stay at home and get moldy if you are a dandy?Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Yu'er means that the abolition of preferential treatment for bannermen also abolishes restrictions on bannermen?" Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Now we might as well make a compromise at the beginning. You can keep the bannermen. preferential treatment, but...if you want to do business or engage in other industries, you must voluntarily give up these privileges. There are gains and losses."

"Is this... okay?"

Daiyu said: "Those who have discernment will definitely be able to see the way out. This must be a way out for some banner people living in a poor life. As long as there are people who go, fourth brother might as well give them some discounts and support in the early stage. "Yinzhen said clearly: "Taxation, reform of the people's livelihood and military system of the Eight Banners is imperative. When the time comes, let those old guys compare and they will naturally know how to choose. Even if some still resist, it doesn't matter the overall situation." Daiyu Nodding, reminding Yinzhen: "It's just that Jiangnan is now the territory of the eighth and ninth brothers. Fourth brother should be more careful." Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "These masters have never worried about it." Daiyu smiled lightly , she never doubted the means of the fourth brother, "What's the idea of ​​the fourth brother?" Yinzhen frowned and said: "After all, the old man is still there, so it is not easy to kill them. It is a pity that the old eight and the ninth are also talents. Yu'er, I'm afraid that fourth brother will leave Beijing for a while next month."

Daiyu nodded, a little sad but also knew that this was imperative, and she couldn't go with her yet.Daiyu looked up at Yinzhen and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry. I have everything in the capital." Yinzhen nodded and said, "I plan to take Hongyao with me." Daiyu nodded, although Hongyao was not yet nine years old , but it is not small in the royal family.It's good to go out with the fourth brother to experience some experience, so as not to grow into a person who doesn't know the world in the future.Seeing Daiyu's gloomy expression, Yinzhen pulled her into his arms apologetically, "Yu'er, thank you for your hard work." Daiyu shook her head, pretending to be displeased, and said, "What fourth brother wants to do, of course Yu'er is We want to be together. Does the fourth brother also think that Yuer is just an ignorant woman who only knows how to enjoy life?" Yinzhen's eyes were gentle, and he said softly: "My Yuer is naturally not that kind of person. What kind of life does Yuer like best?" Daiyu blinked her eyes, a little puzzled why she came here.Still thinking about it seriously: "Yu'er hopes to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty. If possible, she can also go to sea by boat, like Huan'er and the others, to travel to Europe and even farther places. Every time I see Some of the places mentioned in the booklet they sent back are very curious." Yinzhen said softly: "When the fourth brother finishes these things, and when Hong Yao and the others grow up, we will go together." Daiyu He raised his head abruptly, looked at Yinzhen in shock, and saw only a slow smile in Yinzhen's normally indifferent eyes, "Fourth Brother..."

Yinzhen hugged her firmly and said: "Yu'er, it is really the promise of the fourth brother. It will definitely be fulfilled."

A few days later, Daiyu appeared in Changchun Garden with some secrets of Jia Huan who had returned from overseas.The person in charge of this matter is the previous Pavilion Master of Tianquan Pavilion, who is regarded as Mu Lian's master.Originally, he had already retired and retired, but it was because of Lin Ruhai's face that he agreed to come out again and take a group of young people to the West.After a few years of tossing and coming back, he directly threw people to Daiyu and said, these boys finally disappeared without a trace again without embarrassing Tianquan Pavilion.Kangxi frowned as he looked at the people with different appearances, ages, and even dresses.In particular, two of them cut off their braids and left a head of weird hair that could be long or short.At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the shaving order could be said to be quite strict, so Kangxi looked at these two people in front of him, which was a bit of an eyesore, but this person was still one of his own, "What's going on with these two people? Lin girl " Daiyu looked sideways at Jia Huan, and said softly, "Huhuang Ama, they have already reported this matter to me after they came back. The two of them and several others are studying in some western schools. Which ones The school has some special regulations on grooming, so I have to obey the authority. Now that I’m back in Daqing, I don’t have time to grow my hair in a short time.” In fact, in Daiyu’s opinion, Jia Huan looks more energetic after cutting his hair. Do you know what the fourth brother would look like if he did the same?Of course, this must not be said in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi frowned as he accepted the reason, looked at the two and asked, "What's your name? What did you learn in the West?"

"My subordinate, Dai Ling, studied Western history. In addition... I also learned some firearms manufacturing myself." The young man who was with Jia Huan was only about 25 or six years old, and his appearance was not very good, but his expression was very calm.

Jia Huan stepped forward and said, "My subordinate, Jia Huan, is studying mathematics. There are also some who went with me to learn how to make some machines, as well as Western medicine, business, military and so on."

Kangxi was a little dissatisfied, and frowned and said, "It's all obscene and clever skills. What about military affairs? In terms of military affairs, which country can compare with my family history in the Qing Dynasty." Naturally, Jia Huan and Dai Ling did not dare to refute Kangxi's words. Dai Ling secretly raised his eyebrows, the family background is Han Chinese, okay?Daiyu stepped forward and said, "Huang Ama, we didn't know much about the outside world in the past, but now we also know that their history is not shorter than ours, and there is always something to learn. No matter how much knowledge we have That's good too." Kangxi glanced at her and said, "Forget it, I'm not an old antique who doesn't know anything." Then I asked a few other people, some were businessmen in the West, some were doing other miscellaneous things, and even A hard worker.After asking about it, Kangxi said: "That man named Dai Ling, since he is a history student, took the time to sort out the history of the West and show it to me. The fourth child is important to me, so you can go and listen to him." .” Some of these people look inconspicuous, or even useless, but all of them are the elites of Anbu.Although he has not been back to the Qing Dynasty for many years, he also knows that the fourth child the emperor talks about is the dark master's husband, Prince Yong Yinzhen.Quickly thanked En and got up to go out.
