What kind of trick is it to regulate the little girl? Naturally, it faces the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming.

"Everyone wants to make the Nanyang national policy a cause, and what we are talking about should be how to develop and make profits under the framework of our Anglo-Chinese country."

After reasoning about the ideas, Li Shi convened a meeting of the Privy Council, the Zhongshu Province and the Nanyang Public Relations Department, at which Li Shi set the tone of the Nanyang affairs. The investment of five million in five years, in addition to military spending, the remaining half must see the maximum benefit, stir up the South Seas, and operate in the direction of benefiting Yinghua.

Based on this tone, the key to the problem is no longer how to get 5 million, but what benefits Yinghua can see in Nanyang, and then make money according to the principle of "who benefits, who pays", which is equivalent to "pulling sponsorship". If you follow this line of thought, you may be able to get more than five million.

This leads to the core question, what is the situation of Li Xi's intentions against Nanyang?

At this time, everyone did not doubt that Yinghua could defeat France and Spain in the South Seas, but they were unsure about this matter.

Li Xianxin said that it was natural to turn Nanyang into an inner lake of Yinghua, and all the white-skinned baboons would roll up and get out...... This is, of course, a dream, and it will not be possible to do it at least in five years. Li Shi unfolded a map, which was the kind of map that Si An Lu Zeng Qing of Nanyang Park had shown to Hu Hanshan and others.

"From Cochin to Siam, it is my Yinghua's sphere of influence, and the trade between Hoi An and Japan must be held in the hands of my Yinghua."

"The Chinese in Borneo and other places have been woven by our Yinghua group and have become another direct territory of our Yinghua in Nanyang after the golden selenium."

"Manila, Banten, Batavia, and Malacca, where the Europeans are powerful, must be commercial ports for our Anglo-Chinese passage and trade. Yinghua also has an exclusive commercial port in Malacca, which can protect our Yinghua maritime business, direct shipping to India and even the Zhenghe route. As soon as Li Xian's three-point goal came out, everyone's heartstrings were shocked. Not to mention the rest, just the fact that the maritime merchants of the Central Yuan State can restore the Zhenghe route is already a shocking move. This is the era when Europeans are raging, not the era when Zheng He went to the West. To achieve these three goals in five years will not only be to cross the threshold of the Spaniards and France, but also to face the resistance of two formidable adversaries, the Dutch and even the British. "This is not to drive the Europeans out of the South Seas, but to make the Europeans realize that in the South Seas, the power of our Yinghua is unstoppable! Unless they regard us as a life-and-death feud and engage in a life-and-death duel with us. Otherwise, they must learn to respect us, learn to be guests in the South Seas, treat us as equals as the Lord of the South Seas, and must maintain the necessary reverence. ”

Although this goal is not as lofty as the complete expulsion of European forces from the South Seas, it is a huge challenge for Europa's colonization of Asia, and it will be achieved within five years. Fan Jin glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This is the secret of my Yinghua National Government, if it is exposed, it will be dealt with strictly!" "All the high-ranking officials present are above the level of the ministry, for the sake of secrecy, even the note-taking officials are not allowed to be present, Fan Jin is even more respected by the Privy Council, personally made the minutes of the meeting, which originally made everyone feel prepared, this is naturally the meaning of the question, no one pecked.

Next, we will analyze these three objectives, which are divided into three points according to their nature, the first is the vassal affairs of Siam, Khmer and Quang Nam in Near China, the second is the naturalization of Borneo and other matters for the Chinese, and the third is the diplomatic affairs of dealing with Europeans in Manila, Banten, Batavia and other places. Relatively speaking, everyone thinks that the first item, that is, to turn the arc area from the Gulf of Siam to the Gulf of Tonkin into the Anglo-Chinese "sphere of influence", should be the easiest. The second is the naturalization of Borneo, although the city is Chinese, but it has been out of China for too long, and the local natives are strong, and the Europeans have also set foot in it, so it is relatively difficult to incorporate the land directly under the British Chinese.

The most difficult thing is to deal with the Europeans, to let the Europeans open the commercial port, and allow the maritime merchants of the Zhongyuan country to enter the trade by themselves. This is like a lewd man who has been watching the beauty for a long time and always wants to rub oil on the beauty, let him lie on the ground, and let the beauty burst his chrysanthemum with a tooth stick. If he didn't really clean him up, it would be difficult for him to bow his head. And to open China's own commercial port in Malacca, it is even more necessary to stick a knife in the waist of Europeans, no wonder Fan Jin will sternly remind everyone to keep secrets, these words have spread, and the Europeans in Nanyang are afraid that they will not blow up their nests. Li Xian said: "First the easy and then the difficult, and the easy makes up for the difficult." Siam, Khmer and Quang Nam can be used as a point of absorption. In the case of Borneo, we can follow the example of the Nanyang Corporation and set up a separate corporation to attract people who are willing to take high risks with high returns. The third item will gather the benefits of the first two items and use them for our Anglo-Chinese Navy to break the momentum. ”,

As a result, Li Shi's five-year Nanyang strategy was split into three plans, namely the Nanyang Corporation Division Plan, the Boni Corporation Division Plan and the "Jiaojiao" Plan.

The Nanyang Corporation, which would monopolize the maritime trade of Quang Nam, Siam and the Khmer countries, was to monopolize the maritime trade of Quang Nam, Siam and Khmer countries, and all maritime merchants who traveled to and from these routes were required to hold the bears issued by the Nanyang Corporation, including not only the Chinese maritime merchants, but also the Europeans. This is the Anglo-Chinese use of the skin of the Nanyang Corporation to control and block the Europeans' trade invasion in the sphere of influence, and it is also to compete with the Dutch and other countries in the East India Corporation at the economic level.

As a result, the concession tax of Nanyang Corporation will gradually increase from 1 million taels to 200,000 taels per year, and 2 million taels after five years.

However, there is a difference between the Bo Ni Corporation and the Nanyang Corporation, it is more like a European colonial corporation, with the goal of ruling the whole of Borneo. Not only does it have the power to form a military team, but it can also set up a governance structure in a way that suits the local situation. But at the same time, the Guohua family will also reach out, and as long as there are more than 1,000 Chinese who have settled in Borneo and become naturalized in the British Chinese, the British Chinese will be organized into a township and allowed to build their own public bureau.

The premise of the Bo Ni Gong Gong Company is that all the minerals, fields and products in Borneo can really be eaten, and the local industrial and commercial tax rights are also fully enjoyed, but the customs rights of the sea are handed over to the national government. For this reason, the Silkworm Division of the Bo Ni Gong Gong had to pay a concession tax of 200,000 taels to the national government every year, and it increased year by year, reaching 1 million taels after five years.

Of course, the two public divisions, the big proprietor is still the Qingtian Consortium and the Guangzhou Consortium headed by His Majesty the Emperor and An Jinzhi.

As for the Chair Plan, it was to be carried out jointly by the General Office, the Privy Council, and the Navy, and it was expected that the war with the French and Spaniards would be the first part of the plan. The matter of the Nanyang Public Corporation's division is easy to solve, just the plate is expanded, and there is some small trouble in leviing the license tax on European merchant ships traveling to and from Quang Nam, Siam and other places, but this is not a key route for Europeans, even if they are unwilling to bear it, they will not turn their faces because of this small profit.

The Bo Ni Gong Division was self-made, and no one even dared to take over, Li Shi found Chen Xinghua and asked: "The general director of the Bo Ni Gong Gong Division picked you up, do you want to do it?" Chen Xinghua was trembling, and it took a long time to barely find a reason that could be both shirk and help: "The natives of Borneo are powerful, and the Chinese are strong, and if they have no support, they are afraid that it will be difficult to ......deter them." Li Xian said: "I will send you another Bo Ni governor, and in addition, you can also recruit officers and soldiers in the army who are willing to go to Borneo, and the salary will be paid by the national family first, and then at the end of the year." Ordnance and ammunition can be bought from Foshan, and muskets and cannons are at will. ”

With 1 million taels of silver invested by Sanjiang, and 1 million taels of silver from Li Shi, An Jinzhi, and even the Shen family, a big salt merchant, the Bo Ni Gong Division's initial investment was already abundant, plus the regular army, and Chen Xinghua's familiarity with the affairs of the Chinese in Nanyang, it was enough to grasp it. Chen Xinghua originally had a career in the country, but he could run the Bo Ni Gong Gong Division, open up the territory, and the temptation was too great, so he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Then he asked curiously, who was the predetermined governor of Boni, Li Xian smiled and said: "Wu Ya ......" A cold air rushed from the soles of Chen Xinghua's feet to the top of his head, and then thought about the many natives on Borneo, as well as the scattered Chinese who could not join forces, he had to admit that Wu Ya was an excellent candidate for governor.

Bidding farewell to Li Shi, Chen Xinghua returned to the mansion he bought in Huangpu, and his heart was uncontrollable. The Dutch and Britons made several attempts to gain a foothold in Borneo, but were driven away by the natives and Chinese. In the name of the Heavenly Dynasty, with a mountain of silver sitting under his fart, holding a large army in his hand, and a general known as the head bead curtain to support him, he started a career in Borneo, which should be just around the corner.

"Go to the shipyards all over the coast and buy their big ships! No, find a maritime merchant to buy it, borrow it! Both the Siam and Whampoa shipyards are busy with the navy's orders and cannot count on them. Then Chen Xinghua jumped up, first there must be a boat, then we can talk about pioneering.

Following last year's Jiaozhi, Yinghua once again set off a wave of shipbuilding boom, different from the last time, this time the military and civilians went together, and it was very lively. Many years later, when the people of the coast talked about the shipbuilding boom that began in the second year of the Holy Dao, their tone was extremely nostalgic.

"At that time, even the price of tung oil for brushing the shipboard increased by three or five times! A boy who can handle the sails has to talk to three or five shipowners! Grandpa, I married your grandmother with the shipowner's advance payment, and then we settled in Borneo. "I know that not only my grandfather has made money, but even the hemp rope woman in the village has developed, and no one in the village has been left behind! I heard that since then, our country has begun to develop, so who did this money come from? "Where did you earn it?" There were a lot of foreigners and natives at that time, so they naturally earned it from them, not from our own people anyway. Decades later, no one could have predicted the scene at this time, and Li Xi himself didn't have many clear thoughts. ,

In the Forbidden City, another emperor is in tears as he thinks about what it will be like decades later.

"In the long run, the country will not be a country!"

Yongzheng threw a piece of the fold on the ground, which was handed over by Li Wei, the governor of Liangjiang, saying that the land south of the Yangtze River was originally less than 30% of the money and grain of a country, but now it has lost 2 Guangyun, Guizhou and Hunan, and now it accounts for 40%. However, the country's situation was sluggish, and the eunuchs under the rule of the country took the opportunity of exempting them from paying money and grain on errands, and they made even more noise, and the trend of arrears of money and grain in the two rivers became more and more fierce. He flailed a large number of county officials, but they failed to make up for the money and food. This year's spring liberation, it is estimated that there will be countless debts. "They are all self-conscious, and none of them are loyal to the country!"

Thinking that Li Wei was also excusing himself for failing to collect enough money and food, Yongzheng was full of resentment.

But he had to admit that no matter how hard he pressed and scraped hard, he still couldn't make up for the shortfall. When Kangxi was there, the court earned 278 million taels a year, plus 3 or 4 million stone grains. When he took over, the figure dropped to 20 million taels, and 2 million stone grains.

Although it is much less, it is also less than the expenses of those who have lost their land to support the officials and the army, and as far as the books are concerned, his Qing Dynasty should not be a deficit household.

How could Kangxi leave him a mess, there are countless big holes. Not to mention anything else, half of the 18 million taels sold in the Hunan War are still being dragged out. Seeing that the northwest was going to use troops again, Yongzheng was panicked. Whenever the local governor folded up, the first sentence of his imperial approval was, "How about money and grain?" What is the price of rice "with Kangxi", and the rain is adjustable? "It's not a tune at all.

"Township Shin Shi ......"

Yongzheng, who was walking in the study room, suddenly stopped, and a sentence in Li Wei's excerpt reminded him.

"Xiang Shen Shi Eun, but also free of money and food, the bad habits of the Han people can not be changed, do you really think that this world is the world of the Han people? This is the world of the Manchu and Han families! The Han people don't want to enjoy the power of the old world again! Before the financial crisis, Yongzheng finally found a reality that did not fit his ideal of "Manchu and Han family", of course, it is not a bad habit for Manchus to eat hardcore crops, because the Guoyuan family is guarded by Manchus...... Thinking about it deeply, Yongzheng, who has also read the books of sages since he was a child, has a lot of worries, and the squire is exempt from errands, that is, exempt from military money, but he has been customizing it through the ages, and he wants to use a knife on it. There will definitely be huge resistance, will it push people's hearts to the south?

"The emperor is too worried, the south has long been one to pay for food, and the squires and eunuchs have no preferential treatment, the emperor wants to do this, how can he not drive people to the south."

He hesitated, went to the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace again, and asked sideways, but Ru Xi answered directly.

"Besides, this is pressing the Han people after all, and it is not moving our Manchurian foundation, even if there are dissenting words in the court, the princes and clans should also be towards the emperor."

Then Ru Xi said something again, which made Yongzheng look at her even more differently, and he was right, although he advocated the Manchu family, he would not be stupid enough to cut his own foundation. Since it is early to travel to the south, it should be no trouble for him to do this.

"In addition, there is also a spread in the south...... Ru Xi said another thing, she didn't know much about money and grain, this was still an old thing that she occasionally heard when she was in Guangzhou before.

Yongzheng thought for a while, walked around the house, and dropped a sentence: "This room is too small, you can change places." ”

Back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Yongzheng continued to look at the folds, he is a diligent man, and if he doesn't dispose of the folds in one day, he has no intention of sleeping peacefully. One piece of grain, spread into the mu to be engaged, but the effect is too slow, there is no better way, the mind has been turning such a thought, open the Ortai fold, see another word: "fire consumption to the public". Then Tian Wenjing's excerpt was also talking about this. Looking at the excerpts of the year, this is also the case.

These courtiers are doing practical things after all...... Thinking so, Yongzheng wiped his hot forehead, spread the paper and picked up the pen, and said to Nian Tang: "You can play this matter in detail, draw up a schedule, and explain the pros and cons." In addition, I am not familiar with the matter of spreading the land into the acre, but you can know it, and I will play it together. ”

The night was dark, Ru Xi walked through the Qianqing Palace, looking at the still lit Yangxin Palace, and there were two classes of guards guarding the outside of the side hall library, obviously Yongzheng was still working. She seemed to be able to see a figure who was writing hard at the desk on the window paper, and couldn't help but tear down her cheeks for a while. (To be continued.)
