Kangxi leaned on his elbows and listened to Duolong, the chief guard, report the results of the overnight investigation, "Your Majesty, Er Gege is currently living in the General Commercial Association. (eng.com) Secretary-General Xiao Wang is accompanying her." When Doron reported his work to the emperor, he spoke carefully, fearing that something bad would come out of his mouth. However, even his carefully considered words could not erase the fact that the young man and woman were alone in a room. Besides, this little princess is not in the most unbearable situation
"That that other Gege, there are a few beggars near Fayan Temple, together" Duolong gritted his teeth and did not dare to continue talking, hoping in his heart that instead of letting him dictate, Why don't you ask the emperor to go and see for yourself in disguise? It's quite fun to beg on the streets.
Duolong secretly thought that the two men's unseemly behavior had brought shame on the royal family. Emperor Kangxi leaned on the dragon chair with a deep, angry and gloomy expression. In fact, Kangxi was wandering around and guessing, experiencing life and becoming a disciple of the beggar gang. It was really a shame to think that even if he could not marry the emperor as a concubine, he still had a status, so why would he decide to wander the streets? However, Kangxi did not mention taking them back to the palace. Since it was rare for them to go out for a walk, it was up to them to decide how they wanted to live. When you are tired of waiting, you will naturally be willing to go home without forcing yourself.
Kangxi asked Duolong carefully, "Do those beggars know martial arts? Are there any gangs?"
Duolong shook his head repeatedly, thinking to himself that this question was quite strange. Could a group of stinky beggars be able to wield knives and guns?
Kangxi was disappointed, "What about the stick? Is there any way to beat a dog with a stick?"
Duolong was very surprised. He had seen a beggar carrying a stick when chasing dogs away, but he had never heard of a beggar who could practice martial arts. Since the emperor asked, but he couldn't save his face and refused to know, Duolong hesitated and said: "The beggars in the capital are mostly refugees who escaped from last year's earthquake."
Kangxi understood as soon as he heard this that it was ordinary people who were homeless and had to live in poverty before begging. Kangxi thought for a long time and then asked Duolong, "Official offices in various places have organized the distribution of seeds for farming and rent-free for three years. Why don't you return to your hometown to make a living?"
Duolong was originally a warrior and was the least knowledgeable about common people. When Kangxi asked him, he felt dizzy and sweated heavily on his forehead. He finally managed to say: "Most of them are old and weak women and children There are no strong men in the family, and they can't farm even if they have land." "
Kangxi felt that Duolong's answer was very reasonable, so he tried to open his mind and imagine how to increase employment opportunities, arrange for beggars to support themselves, and support their families to make a living? There should be quite a few light manual jobs in the 360 ??lines.
Kangxi thought about it for a while. To get a job, training must be done first. Vocational education is indispensable, but who should be sent to take charge of this huge and tedious work? Officials who deal with beggars every day Somehow, Kangxi thought of Li Guangdi. Lao Li was not busy looking for a job. A comrade who was interested in the career of a civil servant in the Qing Dynasty, cherished fame and was willing to perform, was just right for him.
At this time, Li Guangdi was a guest at the residence of Jiao Yurui, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the two had a very good conversation. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the dispute between Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei, Li Guangdi's vision of the war situation is still very judgmental.
Since mid-April, the eastern and southern Qing armies have been unable to advance. The main forces of Wu Sangui's rebel army, including Ma Bao, Hu Guozhu, and Xia Guoxiang, have concentrated their forces to attack Sichuan in an attempt to break through the three armies of the Qing court. A combined attack. On April 19th, Huzhou was captured by the Wu army; on May 12th, Xuzhou fell; on June 7th, Yongzhou fell. Wu Ni's main force was very popular in Sichuan, while the Qing army in Sichuan was in decline.
Li Guang pointed his finger in the southeast direction and said: " If during the stalemate stage, it would make sense to accumulate troops for a decisive battle. This is a critical moment, and morale will decline if it does not advance It would have been possible to finish the battle with full success. The great opportunity has been delayed so far If someone else had led the army, it would have been long ago"
Li Guangdi suddenly stopped talking. Jiao Yurui studied maps at the Ministry of War every day, and they had a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and smiled. They both took tea cups and tasted them carefully. The meaning of the words was already known Those who have background are not capable, and those who are capable have no background. I want to Those who are in high positions rely on luck, those who are not in high positions have tea. Anyway, no one is interested in Zhang Tai. Even General Dingyuan Ping Kou, if the fighter plane is delayed, the emperor will still settle the score later.
