Chapter 271 (1)
"Uncle wants to join the army?" Hongdan looked at the man with gray braids in surprise.

Counting from Empress Xiaokangzhang, Erlundai is indeed his uncle, but since the Tong family lost power, this honorary title has been forgotten by many people.Hongdan still called her like that all the time, and it's not that he didn't hate Tong's family, but he couldn't wipe out his great-grandmother's natal family, and Erlundai was polite enough to him.

Orondai's temper has not changed, but his actions have grown a little bit more measured. At least he has a choice in who he loses his temper with now.When my hands are itchy and I want to find someone to practice, I usually take someone to the outskirts of the city or perform martial arts at home.After coming and going, the hatred value of the Tong family in the palace is not so high.

But this is not what Orondai wants, and now he shoulders the important task of revitalizing his family.Tong Guowei is hopeless, and the family's hereditary leader has also been cut a lot. If he doesn't find a way, the family business will be ruined.Right now is a godsend opportunity.

Even if it feels that the national treasury is quite stretched, in fact, due to the implementation of the reform of the salt law, the current financial situation can still be supported.And because of the control of the proportion of fire consumption collection, the hidden taxes that the people need to pay have been reduced a lot. With surplus money in hand, the ability to resist disasters is also stronger, and it can also stimulate domestic demand a little bit, which indirectly increases State taxes.The current situation is not so bad that it has to be reformed.

From the emperor down, he had the idea of ​​a relatively protracted war with Junggar. With mental preparation, he didn't feel that life was too difficult.Under such circumstances, more people will try their best to gain ground and want to go to the front line to be gilded.

Obviously, the logistics support is relatively strong, and the superiors are not immediately forcing the establishment of a military order, and they must take Junggar within a few days. Under such a good situation, if you don't want to find a way to get even, then there is a problem with your IQ!Even if you don't fight hard, writing such a sum in your resume is the capital for future promotion, isn't it?

As a result, more and more people rushed to kill the enemy in Beijing, not only the relatively simple hot-blooded young and strong faction, but also quite a few middle-aged and elderly people who wanted to go there.Don't want old soldiers, don't you want old generals?Among these people, Orondai is undoubtedly the one who is very anxious.

Even if this battle is very difficult and there is a danger of death, Orondai also admits it, let alone it doesn't seem so difficult now?It has always been easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. People who used to squeeze over to curry favor don't know where to shrink now.I had to find another way, and the person Orondai was looking for was Hongdan.

Even if he doesn't receive an errand, Orondai is still a duke after all, so it's not difficult to find a way to talk to the East Palace.Hongdan was also embarrassed to see him, but he didn't expect Erlundai to have such a thought, and he was shocked to know that Erlundai's father died during the battle with Galdan.

Erlun Dai really nodded: "Exactly. The slave has no other skills, that is, there is still a lot of strength between the ranks."

Hongdan's elegant smile began to turn bitter. Since the dispatch of troops, the Ministry of War has been busy with strategic deployment, personnel allocation, and consultations.Just like his father, others only care about the mess in front of them, but he has to take care of the overall situation.Seeing Orondai's idea is still squeezed out of time.

What the hell, what's the mess with him?Not to mention whether the impression of the Tong family is good or bad, just because of Orondai's character alone, it is difficult to make people feel at ease and let him go to the battlefield.In case of death, how to explain?If the Tong family is still in full bloom, it's fine to do this. Now that they are living in misery, if you continue to do this, public opinion will always sympathize with the weak.Even if the weak at the moment made mistakes first.

Report Orondai's request directly to Yinfeng?No matter how stupid Hongdan is, he can't do this.After deliberating his words, Hongdan said cautiously: "Uncle, what do you think is missing in this deployment of troops in the Northwest?"

The Orondai language is blocked.This time, there are only those who break their heads to grab the errands, and there are absolutely no vacancies.He gritted his teeth: "Even if you are a pawn, that's enough!" When he said that, he was determined not to let a duke become a soldier.

Sure enough, Hongdan smiled: "You are really in a hurry, ask Cheng Engong to be a pawn? How can there be such a thing? Either there is a shortage, or if there is no shortage, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." Seeing that Erlundai was in a hurry, Hongdan continued, "If only one foreigner is let go, I can speak to Khan Ama."

Orundai was a little discouraged, and his temper also turned up, and he said in a blunt tone: "The servant is a straight-tempered person, so he fights happily in the battle. If he does some copywriting, I'm afraid he will lose the grace of God!"

Hongdan was not annoyed either, and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case."

"Gah?"

"As long as you are doing business for Khan Ama and serving the country, why not do it? I can't say that there is any degree of confidence. You'd better go back and wait for the news. If there is a surprise, it's better to take it lightly. "

Orundai didn't get a single letter, so he also became anxious, and left stiffly.Hongdan thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no problem with his words, so he straightened his clothes and said, "Go to Tanningju."

Tanning lives in the house, and Yinfeng is also working.In such a huge country, there are not only two things in the same period: the levy and the salt tax.Although these two things are important, there are other important things to be done, and other things of the same importance can lead to disaster if they are not handled properly.

What Yinfeng was thinking about was the matter of enclosing land.The Qing soldiers entered the pass, they were really poor and white, and they came to be robbers.Don't look at all the nobles who are known as famous families, at least in the pass, their property is taken away from them.Land, the most fundamental means of production in an agricultural society, is absolutely robbed by them, in the form of land enclosure.Taking all kinds of land as "ownerless" as their own, not only the Eight Banners plundered as a whole, but also fought internally over the issue of spoils. This is land exchange.

Robbers can make a living by robbing, but once they want to be good, they can't do it again.Because of the great disadvantages, it is very easy to cause resistance.To put it bluntly, if you shave his hair and change his ancestors, he will bear it, but you will starve him to death... There are no peasant uprisings in history because everyone can't survive.

So there is a stop.In the eyes of the Qing court, this was already a "virtuous government", but it didn't just stop when you said it. Later, it was also sporadically circled a little bit, and this situation still happened in the last years of Kangxi.At the same time, if I can't stand it, there will be follow-up troubles. What I have to deal with now is "refund".

The Manchus are nomads, and they are not proficient in farming. The land that everyone steals is not for work, but for pleasure.Bannermen also have various privileges and benefits. If they don’t take care of the fields, a lot of land will be left uncultivated, resulting in a great waste of resources. Also, those who hire tenant farmers or arrange their own slaves to cultivate, the fields are under the name of bannermen. , there is no need to pay taxes, which is very detrimental to the country.

The situation was stronger than the person and had to be returned.This time, it was the arable land that Kangxi had decreed to "stop encircling forever", and I would spit out all the encircled land and pay taxes on it!It is undoubtedly a wicked thing to let people spit out what you eat. It involves the Eight Banners, which is the foundation of the rule, and needs to be handled carefully. Yinfeng made the first decision after careful consideration.

After writing the instructions, he rubbed his wrists.Then I heard a report from outside: "The crown prince is asking to see you outside."

"What's the matter with him? Tell him to come in."

What Hongdan was talking about was about Elundai, and his words were very euphemistic: "Son thought, telling him to look for ways around like this is not a good idea. It's going to make people feel uneasy. It's better to give him a foreign job and send him away from a distance, out of sight and out of mind."

Yinfeng snorted coldly: "If you don't see him, you can get out of your mind? Where can he go without causing trouble? How many taboo things he has done in the past years, all of which are because of the extraordinary grace of the first emperor. If he is An An Staying at home, at most you can sing against Fa Hai, if you let him out, I will have to deal with him if he gets into trouble, is that interesting?"

"It's my son who wants to go wrong, but" looking at his father's face, Hongdan still said, "he is already uneasy. Those members of the Tong family have been self-willed by Yourong for decades, and they are so cold that they are holding back their troubles." If you are really able to go all out and make trouble, please think again Khan Ama."

"Hmm." This Tong's family really can't beat the tofu in the ashes.It always depends on how sympathetic it is!Yinfeng felt that he, the emperor, was terribly aggrieved.

Gritting his teeth and grinning grinningly: "Got it, let me think about it."

Within two days, Orondai received a decree: to become a general in Guangzhou.Back then, when Erlundai was fighting with Tong Guogang and his son, Kangxi came out to make peace with him and sent Erlundai far away to Guangzhou, separating the fiery father and son. Called back.Now Yinfeng has put him in a place he is familiar with again.

Orundai was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the prince was not fooling him, but actually got him a job outside.Although it is impossible to earn military merits, after all, there is a real difference, and there is a place to stand before you can plan to follow up, right?Although... a little far away.
