    The purpose of Old Fourteen is to expand the interest structure and make the beneficiaries sincerely support and maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty!  Kangxi glanced at him silently. From this point of view, the Fourteenth sold shares of the Qing Dynasty's ocean-going trade fleet, sold maritime trade routes, encouraged Shanxi merchants to establish "Jin Hesheng", promoted the marriage between Manchu and Han, and raised a lot of money.  It is for this purpose that people enroll in flag registration, abolish low status, and improve the status of craftsmen!

    What does it mean to return to the heart of the world?  Only when there are common interests, and only when the interests of all classes are tied to the interests of the court, can the world truly be called home!

    From the very beginning, the Fourteenth Old Man followed the path of equal distribution of interests. The beneficiaries of overseas enfeoffment were the royal family members and the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners. Overseas expansion and the continuous expansion of overseas trade will inevitably vigorously stimulate all walks of life in the Qing Dynasty.  , the beneficiaries were officials, big and small, and gentry and merchants.  The large-scale recruitment of people into the army also brought ordinary people into the ranks of beneficiaries.

    With the continuous expansion of the new naval guard force, with the overseas enfeoffment, overseas expansion, and the acceleration of overseas trade, the number of people benefiting from all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, will become larger and larger. While they enjoy the benefits brought by the Qing Dynasty's overseas expansion,  , the rule of the Qing Dynasty will also become more and more stable.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Fourteenth Lao is taking advantage of the Qing Dynasty's overseas expansion to the extreme!  Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little excited. During his more than fifty years in power, he focused on winning over the world's scholars, while the Fourteenth expanded to all classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. This was the real way to capture all the heroes in one fell swoop!

    If this continues, in less than ten years, the Qing Dynasty will completely eliminate the situation of using less to control more, and gain the sincere support of all classes in the government and the public. Even if it abolishes the Eight Banners system, so what?  Even if he were in office, he would be willing to abolish the Eight Banners system in exchange for the prosperity and stability of the Qing Dynasty, and for the true return of the world!

    Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled slightly and said: "You have played a good game of chess, and you are worthy of my favor for you. However, I still want to tell you that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Don't do everything in a hurry. I will tell you more."  As a saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish; if a person is careful, there will be no disciples. To be a king, you must turn a blind eye."

    Seeing that Kangxi did not say a word about destroying the Eight Banners system, but instead praised, encouraged and exhorted him, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel relieved. He knew that Kangxi's subsequent words were aimed at the upcoming rectification of officialdom, so he hurriedly leaned forward and said: "The emperor's teachings must be remembered in this book."  I don¡¯t dare to forget it for a day.¡± After a slight pause, he continued: ¡°Your Majesty has just come to the world, and you are very alert every day. I also sincerely pray to the Emperor to return to the capital, so that Your Majesty can also receive education every day.  .¡±

    Returning to Beijing?  Kangxi glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said: "The New Deal and the reform of the military system. The royal family members in the capital and the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners may not be convinced by everyone. People who are short-sighted may not dare to say it, but they are quite happy in their hearts.  Sorry, if I go back to Beijing, I will definitely come here every day to make noise, but I feel more comfortable here, so I can take it easy a little longer."

    Seeing that Kangxi was so outspoken, Zhenwu couldn't say anything anymore. Kangxi paused for a moment and then said with a smile: "Go and pay your respects to your mother-in-law.

    After leaving the Xinuang Pavilion, Zhenwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Kangxi's attitude was not in vain. Since Kangxi was not opposed to the abolition of the Eight Banners system, he didn't need to look forward and backward, and he could just go ahead and do whatever he wanted.

    On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Four Great Hengs simultaneously launched the Qing Dynasty silver dollar - Zhenwu Yuanbao in various semicolons in the capital.

    As soon as the news came out, all the royal family members and princes in the capital sent people to support them and sent people to the nearest branch to exchange large quantities of silver coins. They had to support them. Zhenwu made it clear that the imperial court would hand over the casting rights of silver coins.  The purpose of giving it to Si Daheng is to deliberately subsidize them. The better the circulation of silver coins, the higher their profits will be. How can we not support them?  Now that the New Year is approaching, I can use it to give regular silver to my servants and give them rewards.

    Naturally, the officials of the capital are not to be left behind. This is the new money issued by Zhenwu Yuji after he ascended the throne - Zhenwu Yuanbao. The issuance and circulation of this money is of great significance. As an official of the capital, this idea must be conscious.  Although they knew that the fineness of the silver coins was slightly insufficient, they did not care about the losses and sent people to exchange them. Otherwise, the issuance of new coins would be ignored and they would not have a good life this year.

    They were followed closely by the merchants and gentry who liked to use foreign silver. The Qing Dynasty issued its own silver coins. Naturally, they all wanted to see them first for comparison. "In the Four Great Constants, every semicolon was immediately crowded with people who came to exchange silver coins."  The crowd, each semicolon, marked the detailed data of Zhenwu Yuanbao one by one, and posted it in a conspicuous place, which can be seen when entering the store.

    The Zhenwu Yuanbao, which is white and soft in color, beautifully cast, moderate in size, easy to carry, and easy to use, received a lot of praise as soon as it was redeemed. Although it was only 90% silver, not as good as 95% official silver, these advantages  It's more than enough to make up for the lack of quality.

    Early the next morning, Zhenwu¡¯s edict was published in the Beijing News. Qing silver dollars were exchanged in equal amounts and circulated across the country at the same value. They circulated at the same time as the silver coins. From the second year of Zhenwu, all taxes due to the imperial court were collected in silver dollars.??The exchange ratio of silver dollars and copper coins was also attached, with one dollar converted to 560 wen. It was also stated that the exchange rate of silver dollars and copper coins would be adjusted four times a year based on the actual exchange situation in the market.

    As soon as the Beijing News was issued, it immediately established the status of the Qing Dynasty silver dollar as legal tender. Equivalent circulation across the country was the most popular among merchants. The exchange with copper coins was timely adjusted according to the actual exchange value in the market, which made the common people enthusiastic about the silver dollar.  Moreover, the face value of a dime of silver dollars can be exchanged for only fifty-six cents, and they are fully capable of redeeming small amounts of silver dollars.

    The New Year is approaching, and all the officials, gentry and people have accumulated a lot of spare money. As soon as the news spread, gentry, merchants, and ordinary people all flocked to Si Daheng to exchange silver coins of various denominations. In just a few days,  Silver dollars began to circulate widely in the capital.

    Not only the capital, but after the silver coins in Guangzhou, Jiangning and Taiyuan were published in the Beijing News, the number of silver coins exchanged also increased steadily. The money minting bureaus in the four places also began to work overtime day and night to mint silver coins to meet the increasing exchange needs.  .

    The issuance and circulation of Zhenwu silver coins in the Qing Dynasty not only unified the silver coins of the Qing Dynasty, promoted the widespread circulation of silver coins across the country, saved the loss of silver in the circulation of various provinces, and also protected all the people from the second time when paying taxes.  Exploitation, all the gentry and common people loved Zhenwu Silver Dollar extremely.

    Only the local officials of the Qing Dynasty were unhappy. The issuance of silver coins once again proved Zhenwu's determination to abolish Huaxian. Although the abolition of Huaxian is still being tried in Shanxi, Zhenwu has not yet made a clear intention, but once the silver coins are circulated, will there be any  The decree to abolish consumption is meaningless, because silver coins are circulated throughout the country, there is no difference in fineness, and there is no need to remelt them, so how can they be lost?

    West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

    Looking at the secrets sent from various places, Zhenwu finally understood why, from the Ming Dynasty to Kangxi, for more than a hundred years, no emperor was willing to fully promote the silver dollar despite knowing the benefits of the silver dollar. The reason was because of the fire consumption!  The promotion of silver coins virtually eliminated the legitimacy of Huo consumption, which not only harmed the interests of officials but also the interests of the court.

    Officials could not get extra benefits from the fire consumption, and the court had to use part of the taxes as office expenses and local funds for the local government. Thinking about this, Zhenwu couldn't help but laugh. He had been making trouble for a long time, and it was all about money.  It seems that life is not easy for the emperor who has no money.

    After reading the secret book, Zhenwu couldn't help but take out his gold watch and took a look. It was already eleven o'clock. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Why hasn't Lao Shiyin entered the palace yet?  Yesterday, he received a report that he had arrived at Tongzhou Station. Just as he was wondering, Bao Fuquan bowed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Yin of Dun is here to deliver a sign for an audience."

    "Xuan!" Zhenwu said with a smile.

    After a while, Yin quickly walked in, glanced at Zhenwu who was sitting on the Kang, knelt down at the door and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please pay your respects."

    "No courtesy." Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "I'll sit down and enjoy the tea."

    "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." After Yin kowtowed, he stood up and said with a smile: "My first trip to Nanyang is an eye-opener. My eighth brother and ninth brother's eyes are red with jealousy."

    "You can just blow hard." Zhenwu said with a relaxed smile. Among the brothers, only Lao Shi could let go in front of him now, and he could hardly relax. As soon as he sat down, he asked:  "Brother Ten, don't you get seasick?"

    Hearing the word seasick, Yinden immediately said with an unnatural look on his face: "Your Majesty, why don't you feel dizzy when you don't open and lift certain pots? Dizzy! When I first arrived in Garopa, after I landed, I felt like I was stepping on cotton.  However, I didn¡¯t tell Bage, Ninth Brother and the others.¡±

    Yin wanted to let Laoba Laojiu also experience seasickness. With the mentality of a child, Zhenwu smiled slightly and knew that he meant to create a relaxed atmosphere. He then said casually: "Tell me about your experiences along the way. I'll listen too."  You blow it."

    "Your Majesty has been to Garopa, how can I dare to brag about it?" Yin said, already restraining his smile, and after a moment of thought, he said: "Your Majesty, I stayed in Garopa for a long time and had nothing to do.  I learned about the situation in Garopa. The current population of Garopa has reached more than 200,000. Han people without pigtails can be seen everywhere in the city and suburbs. Through conversations, I learned that many of them are former dynasties.  of immigration.

    What worries me is that the green battalion and navy stationed in Garopa are not large in number, only more than 5,000 people in total. Moreover, the navy is not in Garopa all year round. The permanent green camp only has 2,000 people, and the regiment training in Garopa is  and the Naval Academy have more than 15,000 people, most of whom were immigrants from the previous dynasty.

    Your Majesty, the climate of Karopa is suitable, the land is fertile, and rice is harvested three times a year. It is also close to the granary of Siam, and the Garopa Shipyard, Firearms and Gunpowder Workshop, and Naval Academy have all begun to take shape. The ministers are really worried about trouble.  Come, do you want to send more troops?  "
