Daoguang's words were indeed meant to be tempting, and Yi Zhicontent, who listened to it, replied, he bowed his head slightly: "That is the case, it is still to carry the flag and carry it into Manchuria with the yellow flag, and the model of the marriage of the flag people, you can choose someone else." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Or carried into Manchuria with a yellow flag? Yi Zhizhi was full of bitterness, and his back was even more cold, fortunately, he had one more heart, otherwise, Daoguang didn't know how to be careful, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Daoguang nodded slightly: "Considering that you don't have a house in Jingshi, I ordered someone to find a house near Shichahai and reward it to you for the purpose of completing the marriage." ”

And a house was rewarded? Yi Zhishu was really a little frightened for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, Daoguang looked at him with a smile on his face, and said: "You are not young anymore, and you have a lot of errands on your body, it is impossible to stay in Beijing for a long time. ”

"Wechen obeys." Yi Zhishu hurriedly said, this is quite in line with his mind, marriage is a big deal at this time and an extremely cumbersome thing, from inviting a matchmaker to getting married, it is not an ordinary cumbersome, and it is best to be simple.

"Kneel down." Daoguang instructed in a light tone, waiting for Yi Zhishu to bow down and withdraw, he couldn't help but feel relaxed, and carried Yi Zhizu into Manchuria with the yellow flag, not only to firmly control the newly built Nanyang Navy in his hands, but also to control Yuan Qi by the way, the navy is easy to control, but Yuan Qi is not easy to control, light, heavy, what he can do is to control Yi Zhicontent, the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi.

To his relief, the stubborn disease of the Eight Banners that has plagued him for a long time has also faintly been solved, Yi Zhixiang said well, the banner people are no longer the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but the burden of the Qing Dynasty, in the case of the Qing Dynasty orthodoxy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is no need to rely on the flag people to maintain the imperial power and maintain the rule, besides, today's flag people can not afford this heavy responsibility, the world has changed!

Abolish the Eight Banners system, he doesn't dare, but gradually weaken the privileges of the bannermen, but it is possible, he is old, I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely solve the livelihood problem of the Eight Banners in this life, but it can create certain conditions for the descendants of the banners, in his hands to greatly reduce the privileges of the bannermen, and the descendants will be much more calm in the future.

This matter really can't be delayed any longer, if you really have to wait until the number of banner people is tens of millions, the Qing Dynasty may repeat the mistakes of the former Ming Dynasty, although the former Ming Dynasty did not die in the Zongfan, but the huge Zongfan is one of the fundamental reasons for the people's misery, he can not curb the reproduction of the bannermen, can not control the number of bannermen, let alone let the "exhaustion of the sea is not enough to support the bannermen." The only way to do this is to reduce the privileges of the flag people!

Cut the banner people, reduce the privileges of the banner people, eliminate the banner people's domain, these three, the easiest is to eliminate the banner people's domain, just start with this one, but it's a pity that Yi Zhizhi is a model of the marriage of the banner people, however, this matter seems to start from the Confucian Mansion, he also has a princess of the right age.

Back to Huanghuayi, Yi Zhizhi locked himself in the room, gave marriage, raised the flag, and gave the house, it seems that the emperor's grace is vast, but in fact it is to control him, this is to let him settle his home in Beijing, not surprisingly, Yi Yunchang and his wife are afraid that they will also be moved to Beijing, he has a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, Daoguang This is a dignified and upright conspiracy, he can't resist at all, unless it is a rebellion.

Rebellion, even if he has the courage, not many people will follow, Yuanqi and the other shareholders are basically gentry and businessmen, and the staff under their names are also well treated, unless it is the imperial court that seriously damages Yuanqi's interests, otherwise, few people will be willing to follow him to rebel, I am afraid that only some of the officers from Yuanqiyi will actively support it, in addition, the Heaven and Earth Society and the Qinglian Sect must also be strongly supported, but the two are not something he can control at all.

Besides, Yuan Qi is currently in the golden age of rapid development, once he rebels, it is all his previous achievements, if he does not rebel, he can only be patient, fortunately, Daoguang has no plans to leave him in Jingshi, and finally did not force him into a desperate situation, and furthermore, with his current status, the imperial court will inevitably let Yuan Qi develop, for Yuan Qi, it is not a good thing! I can only comfort myself so much!

"Sir——。 Li Wang reported outside the door: "There is a Tu master who claims to be the Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry and asks to see him. ”

Gongbu Langzhong? Tu-sama? Yi Zhizu was secretly surprised, he didn't have such a person in his impression, and after a slight groan, he said, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, a middle-aged official in his early forties with a slightly fat figure walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Tu Jinxi has seen the lord in the Ministry of Works. ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at him slightly and said, "Master Tu doesn't need to be polite. He stretched out his hand and said, "Please be seated." ”

Tu Jinxi is a miscellaneous official, and he is only a fifth-grade official, and he is not qualified to sit in front of Yi Zhi, a first-class viscount, and a first-class commander of the Nanyang Admiral, seeing that the other party stretched out his hand to give up his seat, without any arrogance, he secretly thought in his heart that this businessman was born after all, and he was different from ordinary scholars, although he was young and high-ranked, he was humble and polite, and there was no domineering attitude.

After thanking him, he glanced at the famous Yuanqi shopkeeper of Beijing, and then sat down solemnly and said: "The emperor gave the lord a mansion, and the lower officials specially came to ask the lord to move to take a look. ”

It turned out that he came for this matter, and although Yi Zhixiang didn't care about it, he couldn't help but be perfunctory, and immediately said: "There is Master Lao Tu to run." As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and when he saw that it was just past noon, he got up and said, "I heard that the emperor said that it was near Shichahai?" ”

Tu Jinxi hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The northeast corner of the Jingshi is the station with the yellow flag, and the lord's house is near the Xianyou Palace, close to Shichahai, which is a good location in the Jingshi, and it is convenient to enter the palace." ”

All the way to the carriage through the streets and alleys to the big mansion rewarded by Daoguang, as soon as I got off the car, I saw this mansion, Yi Zhixiang showed a smile on his face, this mansion is not small, but think about it, the house given by Daoguang himself, if it is small, it can't be taken out.

"Sir." Tu Jinxi pointed to the gate and introduced: "This is the Guangliang Gate, second only to the gate of the palace in terms of rank, the house is four entrances, and there are also east and west courtyards, a total of twelve courtyards, the front hall, the middle hall, and the back hall are 7 each, which is the first-class mansion of the prince." ”

The Prince's Mansion? Yi Zhizu glanced at the gold-lacquered beast-faced tin ring on the door, and secretly wondered that he was only a first-class viscount, why was the specification of the mansion rewarded by Daoguang the specifications of the prince? Is it compensation or incentive? Do you want to say no? Or please change it?

"Sir, please." Tu Jinxi stretched out his hand and politely said: "The house has been whitewashed, is there anything unsatisfactory to the sir?" ”

Slowly walked in, after a turn, Yi Zhizhi is satisfied, this house is not much better than his Lei Garden in Guangzhou, the only deficiency is the lack of scenery, but this is the Beijing Division, it is close to the inner city of the imperial city, and it is near Shichahai, it can have such a scale and scenery, it is also quite good.

After turning around and coming to the middle hall, Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "The adults of the Ministry of Industry have a heart. As he spoke, he took a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it over without a trace, saying, "When can it be delivered?" ”

Skillfully putting the silver ticket into his sleeve, Tu Jinxi said with a smile on his face: "The lord is satisfied, you can move in at any time." As he spoke, he pointed to the west and said, "To the west, just a stone's throw away is Shichahai, to the south, you can walk to the imperial city with a cup of tea. ”

It is convenient to enter the palace, it is also convenient to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery, it is indeed good, easy to be content, and immediately ordered someone to move a piece of luggage from Huanghua Station, and there is no need to live in a post station, not to mention that the post station can be compared with this house.

Properly settled, it's dusk, everything in this house is good, but there is a shortage of people, there are neither maids nor servants and cooks or anything, Yi Zhizhi was about to tell Li Wang to book two tables of tables, but Li Wang hurriedly came in to report, "Sir, Prince Rui came to congratulate." ”

Listening to the Prince Rui coming, Yi Zhifen hurriedly got up and walked out quickly, he is no longer a rookie who enters Beijing for the first time, this Prince Rui is a descendant of the regent Dolgon, one of the ****, and is second only to Prince Li in the ****, known as the 'second seat of the kings', with a very high status.

Prince Rui Renshou's sedan chair fell off the sedan chair outside the door, and Yi Zhifen, who saw the sedan chair, hurried up to meet him, and he arched his hand with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Yi Zhishu hurriedly said: "The prince came to congratulate him, how dare he be?" ”

Speaking of which, Yi Zhi's first visit to Beijing, it was Prince Rui Renshou who took him into the palace, the two have known each other for a long time, the last time Yi Zhizu came to Beijing, several princes gave gifts to Yi Zhi, but he didn't know, and afterwards he was very annoyed for a while, this time Yi Zhi's contentment into Beijing, he was deliberately concerned, and rushed over as soon as he received the news.

"The emperor gave marriage, and decreed that the national city was carried into Manchuria with yellow flags, and gave the prince's mansion, and the glory of the holy family is beyond measure." Renshou smiled: "Such a great joy, how can this king not come in person?" As he spoke, he took out a gift slip and said with a smile: "A little heart, the country is rich, don't dislike it." ”

"The prince's words are broken." Yi Zhizhi was not pretentious, stretched out his hand to take the gift list, and said with a smile: "Then you are not welcome to talk to the prince below." ”

Renshou said in an affectionate tone: "If the city is polite to this king, this king will have to be in a hurry with you." ”

"Lord Wang, please ——。" Yi Zhixiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to give courtesy.

The two entered the middle hall, and then they sat down, and Li Wang came to report again, "Lord Yu, the king of Dingjun came to congratulate." ”

Zaiquan shouldn't have come to congratulate, Yi Zhixiang glanced at Renshou, and said apologetically: "The prince will do it a little bit, and go down to greet him." ”

Renshou was full of depression, he came early, just wanted to talk to Yi Zhicontent, but Zaiquan actually came, it seems that the news has spread, I am afraid that more people will come to congratulate after a while, when even get up and say: "The city is coming to the door today, there must be a lot of people who come to congratulate, you go to be busy, you don't need to be polite." ”

It's dusk, and there are still people coming to the door to congratulate? Yi Zhizhi secretly thought, even if he wants to come to congratulate, it should be tomorrow, it seems that under the arrangement, a banquet will be held to entertain everyone, what kind of is this, it is obviously a bitter stomach, but he still has to accept everyone's congratulations, it is really ironic!

"Congratulations to the country and the city." Zaiquan smiled and arched his hand, he came to discuss something, Dao He was just by the way, the two greeted each other slightly, and he said all the way: "It is not advisable for the national city to stay in Beijing for a long time, and the family affairs should be etiquette, all of which can be simplified, however, this king pondered, such a big event, other etiquette can be simplified, but the parents of the national city are not present, it is impossible to say ......." ”

After a pause, he continued: "How about this, how about waiting for the beginning of spring, waiting for the parents of the national city to arrive in Beijing, and then make a big gift?" In this way, the time is a little more generous, and it is not too hasty. ”

This is simply an excuse to move Yi Yunchang and his family to Jingshi under the pretext of marriage, thinking that they are hostages, Yi Zhizhi is full of slander, but he has to say with a smile: "It's still the prince's thoughtfulness, the marriage is a major event, and the parents are not present, it is really unreasonable, so the arrangement is very good." ”

Following the king of Dingjun Zaiquan, there were several princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi, and Guogong who knew each other with Yi Zhifen, and came to congratulate him, seeing this situation, Yi Zhizhi had to ask someone to go to a nearby restaurant to call a few tables to entertain a group of people, and he knew very well that everyone was so eager to come to congratulate in order to have a good relationship with him.

This has nothing to do with the fact that he brought him into Manchuria with the yellow flag and the marriage of the clan, but because the provinces have children in the Nanyang Navy, and because the imperial court implements the Yuanqi model in the provinces, these princes who want to get involved in the money industry in the provinces want to have a good relationship with him, the big treasurer of Yuanqi, so that they can get Yuanqi's support for the provinces in the future.

The next day, there were more people who came to congratulate, not only a group of clans Jueluo, the Eight Banners, but also many Manchu and Han ministers also came to congratulate, Pan Shien, Wang Ding, Qi Liaozao and other military ministers did not come to congratulate in person, but also sent people to give gifts, busy all day, after dark finally rested.

Yi Zhizhi was waiting to wash up and rest early, in case he was summoned on the bright day, but Li Wang came to report, "Lord Shangshuo of the Ministry of Rites came to congratulate. ”

Congratulations when it's dark? Yi Zhixin felt a little strange, and hurriedly greeted him, only to reach the second gate, he met Zhuo Bingtian, seeing that he followed a teenager, Yi Zhifen reacted, why did the other party wait until after dark, this young man should be the sixth elder brother Yixun - the famous devil six in the future.

He hurriedly bowed down to salute, but he didn't break it, and then he greeted Zhuo Bingtian, exchanged a few words, and took the two of them straight into the backyard study, Zhuo Bingtian introduced with a smile: "This is the sixth elder brother." ”

Yi Zhishu hurriedly re-saluted, and said to Qian'er: "Weichen has seen the sixth master. ”

"Master Yi doesn't need to be polite." Yi Xun smiled and said, "Congratulations to Master Yi." (To be continued.) )
