Chapter 36: Eight Banners Enter
Kangxi asked: "But this year's grain can't be distributed, and when Baoyi Aha goes to Guanwai and develops the land, I'm afraid the banner people will starve to death, right?" ”
Tu Hai boldly said: "Master, we have someone to smuggle grain from the False Ming at a high price. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWe can also spend a little more money to buy food from the pseudo-Ming, which can support us for a while. In addition, we will organize manpower to plant a batch of high-yield crops in Shandong, which can support the grain harvest outside the customs. ”
Kangxi asked: "Tu Aiqing, didn't the pseudo-Ming contain the transportation of grain to us?" ”
Tu Hai replied: "Although the Puppet Ming has captured the south of the Yangtze River now, there are only 50,000 elite Puppet Ming, plus only 200,000 auxiliaries, they have to fight and maintain the place, how can they manage it?" Now in the south of the Yangtze River, the mountain bandits and bandits have recruited one after another and become the Ming army, how can those people be forbidden to sell grain to us as long as they have silver? ”
"Good! Or Tu Aiqing has a way! Kangxi nodded with satisfaction.
Just when Kangxi was about to retire from the dynasty, Wang Xi stood up again: "Your Majesty! Now that the imperial treasury is empty, the imperial court has no silver, it costs silver to buy grain from the puppet Ming Haikou, it costs grain to arrange for the flag people to go out of the customs, and it also consumes food to recruit Baoyi Ahha, so it is better to stop the hardcore crops. ”
"What?" All the banner men turned their heads and looked at Wang Xi with angry eyes, eager to tear him to pieces.
Wang Xi didn't take it seriously, anyway, he had already offended almost all the banner people in this big case of profiteers and corrupt officials, and he didn't care about offending again, so after completing this matter, he resigned and went home. can save the Qing Dynasty, even if you resign and go home, it doesn't matter.
In Wang Xi's mind, Kangxi is the Ming monarch, and Bumu Butai is the good queen mother, they consider the people of the world, so they thoroughly investigate the profiteers and corrupt officials, and benefit the people of the world. What's more, loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is also his belief.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Xi continued, "Stop the hardcore crops, and distribute the land outside the Guanwai to the banner people with Baoyi Aha and the Guanwai as the silver for the hardcore crops!" In this way, you can save money for the imperial court to start a new army! ”
"Good!" Kangxi nodded, "Wang Aiqing is really the talent of my pillar of the Qing Dynasty!" Stopped the hardcore crops, and used the clothes and land as the silver for the ironcore crops, which could not only save money for the imperial court, but also provide food for the imperial court! Good! I made an order, stopped the hardcore crops, and gave them subsistence food first! ”
The content of the court meeting soon spread among the bannermen in the capital.
Originally, those who carried birdcages to go shopping and walk birds, drank tea and listened to plays, smoked Eight Banners special offerings, and ate and drank every day and waited for the flag people to die exploded their nests, and they were sent to go outside the customs. But if the hardcore crops are stopped, it will kill them!
If you don't have any money, what can you do to buy the Eight Flags Special Offerings? That thing is a fairy-like enjoyment, take a sip, I feel like I have become an immortal, I have stopped the silver, and I have no money to buy the Eight Banners special offerings, which is really fatal!
Banner people know what it is like to be addicted to the Eight Banners special offerings.
"Wang Xi, this dog minion! The lowly Han Nikan! Unexpectedly, he bewitched the emperor! O God! Ancestors are above! This is going to cut off the life of our banner people! "The banner people in the capital have basically blown up their nests, and some people are even shouting that they want to find someone to cut Wang Xi's dog's head with a knife.
"It's out of the gate! Why did you let us out? Even the money has stopped! Someone shouted.
At this time, someone said: "I heard that the emperor is benevolent and generous, and he wants to send us grain instead of silver." Now that the price of food has skyrocketed, this grain is worth more than silver! ”
Immediately, a banner man retorted: "Can this grain be used as silver and exchanged for the special offerings of the Eight Banners?" ”
The banner man who spoke just now said: "Why can't you? If you have food in your hands, you can sell it to others! The selling price is still high, and if you sell it for silver, you can buy the Eight Flags special offerings! ”
"It is said that the emperor only gives everyone a mouthful of food to live on, so that he will not starve to death! You sold the grain? Then you go and sell it, no one will stop you! Another flag man said with a sneer.
Just as these bannermen were clamoring and shouting, there was a commotion outside the city gate, and someone exclaimed: "The Eight Banners outside the gate have entered Beijing!" ”
Outside the Dongzhi Gate of the capital, the Eight Banners outside the Guan, which had made a long journey from Liaodong to enter the customs, arrived in the capital. These elite Eight Banners soldiers arrived outside the Dongzhi Gate of the capital, but they did not enter the capital immediately, but camped outside the city and waited for orders. Ba Hai, Sabu Su and Peng Chun, who led their troops into the customs, entered the capital first and went to the Forbidden City to meet Kangxi and Bumu Butai.
"The slave knocks on the emperor, Lafayette!" Bahai and the others knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Flat!" Bumu Butai looked at these brave generals from outside the border with a smile on his face, "Not bad! You are all true warriors of my Qing Dynasty! Now I have summoned you to Beijing, firstly, to deal with the puppet Ming Haikou; The second is that the banner people of the capital are unwilling to go out, and only you can suppress them! ”
Ba Haidao: "My Qing Dynasty has reached the critical moment of life and death!" Those banner people take care of their own interests and refuse to take the court first! Since Weichen has entered Beijing, he will naturally solve problems for the emperor and Lafayette! ”
Bumu Butai turned his head and said to the eunuch: "Summoning Nalan, Wang Xi quickly enter the palace!" ”
"Wow!" The eunuch stepped back.
"Someone! Throne! Bumu Butai shouted again.
Several little eunuchs moved stools, and Bahai and the others knelt down and bowed: "The slave thanked the master, and the slave thanked Lafayette!" ”
Bahai and the others sat down, and Bumu Butai asked about the affairs outside the gate. Today's outside the pass is a wasteland, when the Qing army entered the pass, a group of Baoyi Aha who were originally farming outside the pass were brought into the pass. The Eight Banners who stayed outside the customs only had some coats around them who took care of their lives, and there were no coats for farming. The fertile black soil outside the gate is all empty there, all kinds of wild beasts are rampant, and the outside of the gate has become a paradise for tigers and brown bears.
"The land outside the customs is very fertile, and there are Han prisoners who have been sent to the customs outside the slaves, and they have planted their own vegetable fields, and the growth is very good." Bahai said.
"As long as we recruit an additional group of Han people to be coated, and farm the land after leaving the customs, we can feed all the banner people! It's just that those flag people are unwilling to abandon the Huahua world in the Guannei, and this still requires the cooperation of Aiqing and Nalan and Wang Xi! Also, Scholar Tuhai will help too! "Bumu Butai said.
While they were talking, someone outside came to report: "Enlighten the emperor, enlighten Lafayette!" Nalan and Wang Xi have arrived! ”
"Let them in!" Kangxi Road.
Nalan and Wang Xi walked into Cining Palace, and after the two knelt on the ground and saluted, Bumu Butai asked people to give them a seat.
