The second update arrives!What was written in the front: Brothers, Xiao Liu really needs the monthly pass. The battle for the monthly pass at the end of the month has already ignited. Is it ten days?

-

Although the life in the palace is rich and noble, it is also very boring. Every New Year’s Eve is the same old routine. The royal clan members have a reunion dinner and are divided into men and women. There is no reunion; the food and drink are good, but whoever really wants to eat and drink at this time, generally just tell some jokes to make fun of, coaxing the emperor Yinzuo to have fun, it’s so boring, no matter what others No matter how you look at it, at least Yinzuo himself is completely crooked.

After eating, it's time to watch the excerpts. Poor Yinzuo has never been better than this since he came to this dynasty. He reluctantly accompanied the big guy to watch the official hat show, so he lost his patience. He got up and followed Several old princes who were sitting with them greeted each other, pulled the third brother, the thirteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother together and went to the study room. A strange light flashed in the eyes of Yun Zhen who was not called, but soon Soon it calmed down.Although Yun Zhen's movements were concealed, he couldn't hide it from Hongli who was sitting next to him, but Hongli didn't say anything, he squeezed the folding fan in his hand, silently watching the lively excerpt on stage.

"Old Thirteen, you, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, report your family background to me." Just arrived at the upper study room, before taking a seat, Yin Zuo asked.

At the same time, the brothers knew that Yinzuo had something to tell him about himself, but they didn't expect that on New Year's Eve, Yinzuo would ask about political affairs, which surprised the three brothers.The old thirteen was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, looked at Yinzuo with a strange expression, and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the emperor, due to the severance of trade with England this year, although Spain, Portugal and other countries have filled in There are some vacancies, but it is an indisputable fact that the overall trade volume has declined. As of December 8000, 4000, the cumulative customs tax was 8000 million yuan, a decrease of about 3000 million yuan compared with the same period last year; Fiscal revenue is 2000 million yuan, which is also a decrease of 1000 million yuan compared with last year, which is mainly due to the decrease in overseas trade; after deducting various expenses, military expenditures account for the bulk, of which the army is 8000 million yuan RMB 430 million for the navy, and last year’s financial loss was 5000 million yuan. Counting the income owed, the treasury now has a total of 8000 yuan; It only needs to invest about 3000 million yuan to maintain the relevant expenses; the navy needs to invest about [-] million yuan to barely maintain its current combat power. However, due to the further increase in the trade volume of Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, and With the implementation of the government and gentry paying grain to the mu, the fiscal surplus next year can basically be ensured.”

"En." Yinzuo nodded noncommittally. He knew all these data in his mind, and Yinzuo was very open about this year's fiscal deficit. It is impossible for the military revolution not to pay the price. As long as there is money in the treasury It's a good thing. Moreover, even if the national treasury is empty, Yinzuo won't worry too much. Let's not mention the coming of the next year's appropriation, and it's not considered the coming commodity economy tide. Now it's just Yinzuo The property owned by the internal treasury is much more than that of the national treasury. Even if it is filled, Yinzuo can fill the emptiness of the national treasury.

"Old Thirteen, it's hard for you to help me take care of such a large family business. I know you have always been diligent, and I am very relieved. Your two sons have also reached the age of school, so I will give you the title of eldest son." Hongchang is Beizi, Shizi Hongtun is Baylor, it can be regarded as the lucky money I give to the children." Yinzuo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This reward is very big, not to mention that Yinzuo's other sons have no titles, even the two grown-up elder brothers are just Baylor status, and the Baylor status of Hongli and Hongyang brothers is based on military exploits What he got, such a big reward immediately made Yunxiang dumbfounded, he stared blankly at Yinzuo, and even forgot Xie En, until the old fourteen pushed him, and then he knelt down as if he had just woken up from a dream He fell to the ground, kowtowed his head and said: "My brother thanked the Lord for his kindness, but this kind of reward is too much, I really dare not accept it, I hope the Holy One will take it back."

"I don't reward people easily, and this rewards you, Old Thirteen, worthy." Yinzuo stood up, walked to Old Thirteen, stretched out his hand to help Old Thirteen up, and said with some emotion: "Old Shisan Three, you have helped me for so many years, and you have never complained. I feel sorry for you. Look, you are only so old, and your hair is covered with white hair. My heart aches."

"Your Majesty..." Yun Xiang's eyes immediately turned red, and he was too excited to speak for a moment.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, I will give you the will later." Yinzuo patted Yunxiang's shoulder lightly, walked back to his big seat and sat down.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother must devote himself to your Majesty, and die!" Yun Xiang knelt down and kowtowed his head.

"You don't have to be like this, you deserve it. I want you to live well and walk with me all the way." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

"En." Yunxiang nodded vigorously and replied.

"Thirteenth brother, next year is a critical year. You must help me manage the cabinet well. Don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of you. Don't be afraid of trouble. Everything will be up to you." Yin Zuo said with a smile, but The cold air in the words was very strong, both the fourteenth and the third couldn't help shivering, but the thirteenth didn't think too much, kowtowed his head and said: "Please don't worry, my lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"That's good," Yinzuo obviously didn't want to continue this topic, he waved his hand to signal Yunxiang to flatten his body, looked at Prince Cheng Yunzhi and said, "Third brother, how are the negotiations with the Netherlands and England going?"

Yunzhi hasn't woken up from the dramatic scene just now, and he is still inferring the meaning of Yinzuo's move. However, Yunzhi is clever, so how can he see through Yinzuo's layout? Asked a question, stood up quickly, and said respectfully: "My Majesty, the English ambassador has returned from Europe, but the English side insisted that this was a misunderstanding, and expressed their willingness to apologize to the Qing Dynasty, but rejected our side. At the same time, they proposed to renegotiate with us on commercial issues, agreed to withdraw from Japan, and stopped supplying weapons to Japan's shogunate, and asked us to continue to trade with England in return."

"That's all?" Yinzuo sneered, interrupted Yunzhi's words, got up, walked up and down the upper study room angrily, his face was frighteningly cold, it took a long time to calm down, cold He said in a loud voice: "There is no need to talk about such negotiations anymore. I will convey my will: expel the English ambassador from the Qing Dynasty, recall our Qing ambassador to England, declare that the Qing Dynasty and England are in a state of war, and notify the envoys of all countries. Anyone who dares to help England in the Far East is our enemy of the Qing Dynasty! The Japanese garrison and the Second Fleet are ordered to drive all English merchants and merchant ships out of the country for a period of one month, and all those who do not leave will be detained.”

"This..." Yunzhi didn't expect Yinzuo to be so angry, and suddenly panicked, for fear that Yinzuo would take the knife on himself. After all, Yunzhi was scared by Yinzuo, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Holy One calm down, the Holy One calms down, I deserve to die, I owe the Holy Grace, I..."

Yinzuo didn't expect Yunzhi to be so frightened, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Third brother, please hurry up, I don't blame you, I'm just dissatisfied with the British guy's behavior, there is nothing else It means, um, I can still trust the third brother's ability to handle affairs, so let's get up."

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not?" Yunzhi wiped off the sweat from his brow, stood up, and summoned up his courage.

"Finally, I'm listening." Yinzuo said in a gentle voice, scaring Yunzhi in front of his head, feeling a little sorry.

Yun Zhi considered his tone and said, "Your Majesty, since I took over foreign affairs, I dare not be negligent. Whenever something happens, I have to be careful to verify it. Well, according to the reports of my officials, the English ambassador had frequent contacts with the Dutch ambassador as soon as he returned to the capital. I thought that There must be something strange in it, if my Qing Dynasty and England are against each other, I wouldn’t be afraid, but I’m afraid that the Dutch may play tricks in it, and I have to guard against it, please think twice.”

Uh-huh, it seems that the third child has really put in a lot of effort in engaging in diplomacy, and he has lived up to our painstaking efforts.Yinzuo was very satisfied with Yunzhi's performance, smiled and said, "I understand what the third brother means. Let's put it this way, my Qing Dynasty and England have already turned against each other, but I didn't declare war explicitly, no matter whether I declare war or not." Well, the Dutch are always on the side of the English. I just want to declare war openly. I know what the Dutch are doing in private. Well, the third brother talked with the Dutch for so long and there should be a result. Come on, I will give you a few magic weapons, and you can use these things to smash the Dutch to death. Don’t be afraid that the Dutch will turn their heads. I can’t wait for it. As long as they dare to turn their faces, I will have an excuse to send troops. Hey, even if I occupy the Netherlands People's territory, it also has to do business with Daqing honestly." Yinzuo smiled and handed a bag on the dragon table to Yunzhi.

Yunzhi opened the bag, glanced quickly at the lights in the study room, his eyes lit up immediately, and some children were pleasantly surprised: "My lord, where did these things come from?"

"You don't have to worry about where the third brother came from. In general, you can let go of the external affairs. I'm here, don't worry about it. Hehe, the Dutch like bribes. Just take it, and tell me later. That's it, I don't want you to hand over to the public." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

"Minister's decree." Yunzhi's favorite thing is to fight sap. Now that the Qing Dynasty is in great power, there is a lot of room for diplomacy. In addition to being able to fight sap, you can also blackmail. It is really a difference between a profession and a hobby. Misunderstanding, Yunzhi was naturally very happy, but what made him even more happy was yet to come, Yinzuo smiled suddenly and said: "Third brother, your son Hongsheng looks good to me, well, let's make him Baylor." Alright, let's get acquainted with the court affairs with Third Brother first."

Yunzhi was dizzy from being hit by two big pies one after another, and he squinted his eyes from laughing, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my sage, Hong En, I will definitely take care of the foreign affairs properly, and I will not call you!" The emperor is worried."

"Well, that's good." Yinzuo smiled lightly, waved his hands, and without saying anything, turned his head to look at the old fourteen who was eager to try.

"Your Majesty, is it time to start? Hehe, my hands are so itchy." Yun Yu is such a shrewd person. From Yin Zuo's words just now, he has already heard that Yin Zuo intends to teach Britain and the Netherlands a lesson. Meaning, seeing Yin Zuo smiling but not speaking at this time, some people couldn't wait to speak first.

Heh, this kid is usually stable, but when he hears about the war, he gets a little anxious. He is really a war madman.Seeing Yunyu's excited look, Yinzuo couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he didn't reprimand him, just smiled and said: "It's going to be a fight, but not now."

"Ah." When the old fourteen heard that it was not the present, he felt a little disappointed, and nodded his head to express his understanding, but his face was a bit resentful.

"Old Fourteen, how is the training of the First Fleet going?" Yinzuo looked at Old Fourteen with an unhappy face, but deliberately pretended not to see it, and asked slowly.

"If you go back to the Holy Majesty, for more than half a year, I dare not bear the heavy trust of the Holy Majesty. The First Fleet has completed training and can go to sea to fight at any time." When the First Fleet was mentioned, the old fourteen's face showed great pride look.

"That's good. You listen to me. I only have one request. If you want to fight, you can only win and not lose. If you lose, the sea has no cover, so you can jump off yourself." Yin Zuo put away With a smile on his face, he said seriously.

"Your brother dares to issue a military order!" Old Fourteen knelt down without hesitation and said loudly.

"Okay, I can believe this, so let's do it, the First Fleet will go to Guangdong for training first, and then set off immediately after the monsoon arrives in March, take down the whole of Malacca for me, and cut off the passage for the British to enter and exit the Far East!" Xu Zuo stood up suddenly, He said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty's Order!" The old fourteen kowtowed, and got up in satisfaction, his chest heaving and falling, and the fighting spirit in his chest was surging.

Yinzuo glanced at Yunyu, smiled and said: "I will also deploy the Guangdong Marine Battalion to you. In addition, I will allocate [-] large ships from the Eight Banners Company as logistics supply ships. It should be enough for you to order." ?”

"Enough, enough." The old fourteen was Han Xin, and the more soldiers under his command, the better. At this time, Yin Zuo put the most well-equipped amphibious combat force in his hands, and he was immediately satisfied. Nodding.

"Forget it, let's stop here today. I'm tired, so let's just kneel down." After everyone left, Yin Zuo sat alone on the dragon chair, his eyes flickering...
