Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 356 My son has some immature ideas. I don’t know whether I should tell him.

Kangxi:......

Kangxi's head was buzzing and he felt unwell.

At this time, Orondei was still calling his cousin in pain, hoping for leniency.

However, he was kicked in the butt by his cousin: "Who are you showing this aggrieved look to? Are you wronged by Xiao Shiba? You are reckless, stupid, and reckless. You dare to speak rashly without a basic understanding of the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I am a loyal servant and would like to help you eliminate the hidden dangers..."

Boom!

Kangxi kicked him again: "I think you are a hidden danger!"

"Slave..."

"Shut up!" Kangxi roared, "What do I have to say to make you understand? Ever since Tsewang Arabtan was expelled from Junggar and the entire Junggar area was renamed Xinjiang, it has become the new province of the Qing Dynasty and an inseparable part of the Qing Dynasty."

"The land and the people are also the subjects of the Qing Dynasty. You bastard keep talking about killing them. Do you want me to be a tyrant, or do you want to force the new province that just surrendered to you to revolt?"

The two hats were bigger than each other, and Orondei couldn't wear either one.

I can only kowtow and beg for forgiveness.

But could Kangxi forgive him easily?

No way.

Whether it is to rectify the discipline of the court or to avoid being criticized by his annoying son, he really needs this cousin prop to show his upright side.

Therefore, not only did he not release him, he also gave him thirty lashes of the cane.

He also solemnly stated that although Orondei was his cousin, a prince who broke the law was subject to the same punishment as a commoner.

As long as he is still alive, he will never allow anyone to do anything harmful to the Qing Dynasty by relying on any status.

Once investigated, there will be no leniency.

[Wow! Although this is not very Kangxi, it is undeniable that he is really handsome. Those who always shout for war and killing, and talk about taking human lives, should be severely punished. I support Kangxi's father in this wave. Kangxi's father is wise.]

The cheers were so deafening that Kangxi was startled.

After a long time, he slightly curled his lips.

You little bastard, you are the only one in the world who can complain about your king and father from time to time without being punished.

His mood improved a little, but the Governor of Zhili River was so scared that he must have pissed himself!

He knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and virtuous, which is rare in ancient times. I am stupid and failed to understand your good intentions. I also made random guesses and made irresponsible suggestions, which almost delayed your important event. Please punish me."

As he said this, the guy took off his official hat.

The attitude of admitting mistakes is quite good.

cough cough.

Earlier, the emperor's cousin was dragged away and beaten with thirty sticks. I'm afraid he won't be spared today either.

I only hope that the emperor will look at his past merits and his sincerity in admitting his mistakes, and at least not implicate his family.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi smiled and helped the man up with his own hands: "My dear minister, you are also doing this for the long-term stability of the Qing Dynasty. What's wrong with that? The Qing Dynasty is not like the previous dynasties, and it does not want to be just a yoke. Therefore, we must be extra cautious in how to settle and manage the people in the former Junggar area."

River repair work is greatly feasible.

But not giving money or enough food is not so desirable.

As for more specifics, to be honest, Kangxi was also a bit confused. If it was too good, it would not be a deterrent enough, and on the contrary, it would easily breed rebellious emotions.

This scale is not easy to grasp.

At the critical moment, Yin·Porter·Xuan smiled and bowed: "My son has some immature ideas, I wonder if I should talk about them?"

"Tell me, tell me!"

Not only you, but no one is allowed to hide anything when we are working together.

Can……

Orondei, who had bravely given his advice, was beaten to a bloody pulp. Who would dare to speak nonsense again?

Everyone was concentrating intently to hear what Master Eighteen had to say.

Then Yinzhen raised his chubby hand and said, "First, although there are many young and strong people in the old Junggar area, they will have a certain impact on the stability of the court. But we can't just ignore them all. Otherwise, if we send them all to do hard labor, won't the remaining old and young be in a state of panic?"

"So my son personally thinks that the division is very important. For example, those who refuse to accept the land reform and even participate in armed resistance will be tied up and made into coolies. The obedient people who have never participated will stay or be assigned to various places."

Wonderful!

The prince was the first to respond, saying that this would not only make sense but would also help the implementation of the new province's policy of reforming the native system to officials.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

But the facts told him that this was just the beginning.

In addition, Yinzhen also suggested paying silver at half the market price or some other standard so that these prisoners could also have their own income.

After serving their sentences, they will have some money in their hands when they return to their respective families, which will help them integrate more quickly. They will not return to committing crimes again due to bad reputation, empty pockets, and family members' unwillingness to tolerate them.

Well.

In addition to this, Yinzhen also arranged to give these people classes, teaching them to read and recite the Qing laws, etc., in order to deepen their sense of identification with the Qing Dynasty in various ways.

So that they will not dare to commit crimes easily in the future.

This completely different new route caused crazy heated discussion once it was proposed.

The Minister of Revenue was the first to raise the banner of opposition: "It is hard for Prince Rui to be so kind and virtuous at such a young age, but there has never been such a precedent in history. Ordinary people do not get paid for their corvée labor, and they have to provide their own food and tools, but the prisoners are being paid?"

The Tiangang is turned upside down!

Moreover, with the advent of cement, he could easily imagine that there would be a huge amount of work to be done, such as building embankments, bridges, roads, and city walls.

Hiring people everywhere.

If all the money is taken out of the national treasury, how much silver will be left for squandering?

what?

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi in shock: They make them suffer and even miss the farming season to work for you, and not only don't you pay them, you don't even provide them with food?

Kangxi understood his condemning look and coughed lightly. It was not just him, it was the same in all dynasties!

Isn’t the so-called corvée labor a labor tax levied by the imperial court on the people?

Yin Xuan was speechless and laughed: [So from ancient times to the present, peasant uprisings have never stopped. What is this called? Where there is oppression, there is resistance! If the people are not allowed to have a relatively comfortable environment, how can the population grow? How can culture, technology and the like flourish? How can the dynasty maintain long-term stability?]

Of course, no matter how angry he was, he knew that he could not talk about human rights with the ancient emperors.

He just looked at the Minister of Revenue with dissatisfaction: "Old man, what you said was fine in the past. Now the silver and grain warehouses of the national treasury have been expanded a lot, why are you still stingy? You have to know that there was the Three Feudatories Rebellion, Galdan's invasion of the border, and many natural and man-made disasters in between."

"No matter how kind-hearted Khan is, he can't help but lose sight of the big picture. He can only make the people suffer a little."

"Nowadays, the sea is peaceful and the rivers are clear, and the people are prosperous. The treasury is filled with gold and silver, and it can't hold it all. Khan Ama loves his people like his own children, so of course he won't let the people work for him for nothing! Right, Khan Ama?"

[Improve the basic treatment of infrastructure workers, starting with the prisoners! This is what I said, and it must be carried out. What if Kangxi refuses to carry it out? Then...]
