Li Tianfu has been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, over fifty years old, and is still full of vitality and shines on his post. He is not only a clean official, but also a capable minister who loves to work and values ​​hard work.

He was able to bring different surprises to Kangxi at all times. In terms of the status of this old minister in the court, he could be comparable to that of Chen Tingjing. Even after the household division was partialized, Li Tianfu's status was even higher.

He served as the Minister of Works, as the Minister of Justice, and was transferred to the Ministry of War to be the Minister of War.

The emperor wrote this when writing the memorial: He ordered Li Tianfu to bring Mingzhu and other ministers... It can be seen that whenever there is a major event, Lord Li will be designated as the chief.

Such an old minister naturally had the capital to face the prince without slander, and the prince never showed any intention of being close to him, and even before that, there was almost no contact between them.

As long as Kangxi calmed down and ordered people to investigate these matters, there would naturally be Luanyiwei to tell the truth.

Yinreng said: "My son can swear to the sky. He has never thought of attacking Lord Li. He is different from Lord Chen. Lord Chen is upright and not easy to deceive. Lord Li is round on the outside and square on the inside, and is not smooth. He is a great master of Tai Chi. Mr. Chen will not bite the tough guy!"

Kangxi said helplessly: "I believe you have nothing to do with you, but other court officials will not believe it. You really should reflect on your attitude towards court officials!"

Looking at so many frightened birds and more and more recesses, Kangxi couldn't help but feel sad. The prince was almost disgusted by dogs and cats in the court. Except for those of the firm princelings who were Soetu, others subconsciously avoided him, fearing that he would step into a pit today and be dragged to work hard tomorrow.

Yinreng: "My son will definitely change, I will definitely change!"

I said I would definitely change it, but next time I did it knowingly?

He accepts humbly and refuses to change his teachings. He means that he sincerely admits his mistake.

Kangxi sighed softly. After the court meeting, Kangxi ordered the rest of the princes to go to various departments and courts to do things, and called Yinreng away alone: ​​"Baocheng comes with me, I have important things to discuss with you."

Strangely, the emperor did not go back to approve the memorial, but took the prince to the ancestral hall instead.

There are tablets of ancestors in the ancestral hall, and the doors and windows around them are closed and dark, only two candles above are constantly burning.

The emperor took the lead in going to incense, and ordered Yinreng to kneel down to worship his ancestors.

Yinreng was confused: Isn’t this a small dark room where Khan Ama usually locked up her incarceration?

Apart from the sacrifice, this small black room will only be opened when Khan Ama wants to talk to the late emperor.

Kangxi took out the wealth report sent from Fuzhou from Liang Jiugong and began to report to the tablet of the late emperor.

"Now the descendants have opened up the sea ban, trade with foreign countries, and recruit merchants from all over the country to attend this event."

"In one month, the treasury's wealth was more than it had earned in the past three years."

"The subsequent wealth will continue to rise, and its momentum is irreversible. The wealth of the Qing Dynasty has already taken off."

"There are huge benefits, and the descendants are afraid that the immediate benefits will fade the eyes of future generations."

"If this move hurts the foundation of the country and shakes the foundation of the country, then I will be the sinner of the Qing Dynasty."

Yinreng listened and understood something vaguely in his heart.

After reporting this, Kangxi turned around and said to Yinreng: "It was beyond my expectations for submitting trade tariffs from Fuzhou."

He never expected that the wealth in it was so huge that he had accumulated wealth that he could rival a country in just over a month!

The treasury inventories soared, and the people were busy and cheering.

Too much money is made, too many benefits are too much, and it is so much more worrying.

For an overseas trade, there is no need to worry about military spending in the war in the next few years. Even if there is a natural disaster, the court and the people have the capital to deal with accidents.

After the ecstasy, there was an infinite worry about the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi undoubtedly thought that the emperor who liked to think too much would have an emperor, and he was born with suspicion. He began to question whether such a trade carnival was correct and began to worry about whether his future descendants would forget their roots.

He told Yinreng: "I am happy to be able to earn huge wealth and benefits. The soaring figures on the accounts are all confirming how correct your previous actions were. According to this account, if there is no mistake in the future and when the trade is over, the large transaction orders signed will be implemented, and the subsequent returns will be more considerable."

"but!"

"You must remember that since ancient times, agriculture is the root of our country's governance. These interests are moving. The treasury can be rich and full through commercial taxes and tariffs. I still don't know how many merchants have been cultivated, and how many people have abandoned farmers to engage in other jobs. I issued a business restriction order, and this is the intention of raising commercial taxes. I can still keep things under control. If I am gone in the future, will the Qing Dynasty prosper more in Baocheng's hands or will it take a completely different path?"

Every time Yinreng heard Khan Ama assume that "will happen if you inherit the throne in the future" and "will happen if I am gone in the future". He said helplessly: "Khan Ama, you are not yet forty, why do you think about retiring?"

When Kangxi heard this, he was afraid that he would not be there and no one would clean up the mess for him. He immediately snorted coldly with a dark face and said sternly: "I want you to swear to the tablets of the ancestors."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and agriculture is the most important thing for the country. We will never be easily tempted by profit. Doing things that exceed the bottom line will be even more insignificant to be influenced by foreign mercantilism!"

Yinreng said seriously: "My son knows that agriculture is the foundation and will never be affected by foreign interests."

Kangxi said: "You may guarantee that if there is a government order in the future, if you make a choice between farmers and merchants, you will definitely put farmers first? How can you ensure that you will not be deceived by immediate interests? Look at the current court officials and the royal family. They also mentioned that they are not allowed to trade with foreign countries, but they still oppose you? They all went into the water to try it out, because the profits in it are too huge and the interests are touching!"

"The importance of agriculture must be more important than business. Those who value mercantilism in foreign countries must not affect our country's politics! I cannot tolerate merchants who are rich enough to threaten the status of the court, otherwise there will be worries about the country being overthrown!"

Yinreng knew that if he did not swear according to Khan Ama's wishes, it would be difficult to eliminate his hidden worries and anxiety.

The tablets of the ancestors floated in the shaking candlelight of the bright and extinct. The black bottom and golden characters were heavy and solemn. In this dark silence, there was indeed a sense of awe that was raised with a god.

"My son vowed that he would never accept the tendency of profit in the future and would make a move that shakes the foundation of the country. Farmers as the roots of the country must be more important than merchants. I beg my ancestors to testify here. If children and grandchildren violate this oath, they will be severely punished!"

Kangxi felt that he had made too much money and was hot and he felt uneasy. He also heard that France's mercantilism was heard, and the king of England was driven down from the stairs by those with huge wealth.

He also faced the doubts raised by the court officials about maritime sovereignty, which prompted him to carry Yinreng over and beat him up alone.

This also sounded a wake-up call for Yinreng. He asked: "Is the Erchen who has shown that he is too enthusiastic about foreign trade before, which makes you feel that Erchen may become a polite business?"

The way to govern a country is like crossing a river by feeling the stones. The experiences of previous generations may be learned from them. However, the times are changing, the country is getting better, and more advanced technologies are emerging, representing more governance issues.

Taking history as a mirror, we can see the rise and fall of the past. They can learn from history, but they cannot copy it completely, because no one can predict the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi said: "I don't know how the fairy beasts educate you. Maybe the knowledge it teaches you is right, but it is not necessarily suitable for the current national conditions of the Qing Dynasty. I know that you are for the future of the Qing Dynasty. Before everything goes on in the future, you must think twice before you act."

He was able to protect foreign trade and prompted the construction of an unprecedented foreign trade center in Fuzhou. It was unprecedented and even more untold.

"I took you here to swear, isn't it warning me?" Kangxi sighed.

[The eldest friend has Ama cleaned up the stall in front, and what about Ama himself, the eldest friend?] When he was uneasy in his heart, he could only think about the tablet of the late emperor and the Empress Dowager's tablet. He locked himself up, talked aloud, and then digested himself. He was not omnipotent, he would be confused, struggle, and even doubt whether what he did was right or wrong. But when he went to court the next day, he was the wise ruler in the eyes of the court officials, and he was a Khan Ama who could shelter the prince from the wind and rain. No matter what matters could crush his shoulders!

Yinreng nodded repeatedly, knelt obediently on the cushion, and ten thousand yuan of allotments.

When Kangxi's worries passed and brought Yinreng back to the imperial front, Li Tianfu was already waiting.

Yinreng took a look and saw that more than a dozen important officials of the imperial court were all located here.

Kangxi said: "A court official proposed that if we want to declare the sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty's oceans, the Qing Dynasty needed to have its own maritime commercial routes, foreign commercial strongholds, and to send people to various countries to station."

Several important officials looked at each other, and Li Tianfu took the lead and stood up: "Your Majesty, never!"

Li Tianfu strongly disapproved of the Qing Dynasty's commercial expansion, nor did he agree to participate in the quagmire of competing with Western countries for mainland strongholds.

This old minister, who requested the court to rely on the navy to gain maritime sovereignty, immediately strangled this statement of foreign expansion into the cradle.

He said: "The old ministers asked to declare sovereignty in the court, with the purpose of protecting their own people, rather than engaging in commercial expansion."

Otherwise, what is the difference with those French who value mercantilist ones?!

The country’s focus is all on overseas expansion, so who can devote himself to governing the country’s land?

Chen Tingjing respectfully asked Kangxi: The emperor should focus on governance in China. The Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and many places have not been able to understand the governance.

The Junggar Khan tribe under the throat had conquered the Brut region and defeated the Kazakhstan. The next step was to be involved in the Khalkha Mongol. The Yellow River floods were caused every year, and occasionally there were some natural and man-made disasters.

Although the northern border signed an alliance with Rakshasa, as long as there is no one on the border, it may take only a hundred years to make a comeback. It is another matter for the people on the border to move northward. It is another matter for the land such as Lake Baikal obtained by signing the alliance to support the nomadic tribes there and let them obey the capital.

Compared with overseas expansion, it is obviously more appropriate to focus on governance within the land.

Otherwise, I would eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot, and before I could swallow it, I would be jealous of the interests far away from the sky. I should not have both fish and bear's paws. If I had to force it, I would probably accomplish nothing in the end.

Several ministers all opposed foreign commercial expansion, which was expected by Yinreng.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nalan Xingde took this opportunity to hand over the letter of return of the envoy sent out to Kangxi.

The envoy wrote in the document: Western countries seized the dockage in various lands and forced conquest. A strong country defeated the weak country and sent people to it. When ruling the weak country, it enslaved its citizens, looted its goods for its own country, and accumulated huge wealth at one time to achieve the goal of raising the country with its country. France captured the weak country like a beast biting the mouth of a mouth, while a weak country could only be slaughtered by others. And his attitude towards the Qing Dynasty was willing to be the strong navy and the great power of the country, so he did not dare to invade, so he lowered his posture and begged for business.

I dare not think about whether my country's national strength would be devoured by it as mutton. The Qing Dynasty was a state of etiquette and allowed it to pay tribute to its subordinate countries, and returned to support it, treat the ministers with the etiquette of the king and the ministers well. However, Western countries were like wolves and tigers, and they wished they could tear their flesh and blood and eat their blood and bones for the occupied subordinate countries.

I dare to ask the emperor to pay attention to this matter, be vigilant and prevent foreign troubles, strengthen our army, and promote our national prestige, so that we can occupy a place among all countries.

Now there is a concept, which is the world. The world is connected with the great ships of various countries. The Qing Dynasty is one of the great powers in the world. It is not able to keep itself safe. This is a major change that has not been seen since ancient times. Now, the situation facing us can only move forward and not retreat!

When Yinreng heard Nalan Xingde read this book, more than a dozen important officials of the court said it, and he felt relieved.

Finally someone said that this day has finally come. After many years, the court finally realized this.

Yinreng almost forgot how old he was when he was, and how many things he had troubled with it. Now that he saw the hot discussions among the people, the adults could pick up the names of various countries, Khan Ama listened seriously and faced the situation of the world.

But finally no one said that I had nothing to do with the Celestial Kingdom, and no one underestimated or despised foreign countries. Every time he saw adults closing their eyes with high eyes and saying that foreign countries were not afraid of being afraid, he felt suffocated.
