Soul of reincarnation

Chapter 24

This world is changing with each passing day, and even Yin Qi is dazzled by it.

For the instigator, Wu Yashi, she is simply in admiration.

If she was a man, she could go overseas to recruit soldiers and buy horses, occupying land and becoming king.

With the instigator, others are not fools. In every era, there are some human elites who stand at the top of the world. They can keep up with the pace of the times, seize opportunities, and get a piece of it.

Now both Wu Yashi and her husband Akton are the confidantes of Emperor Yongzheng.

Acton is cautious and conscientious. Although he doesn't have the cunning and resourcefulness of being a powerful minister, he doesn't have to worry about discounting any errands assigned to him by the emperor.With ten strength, he will not only use nine points.

And Wu Yashi is a person with a unique vision. Emperor Yongzheng used her more as a staff member, and he always liked to ask her opinion on some matters that he was hesitant about.

Because the immigrants went to the land of no man, but also to ensure the safety of the civilians, it was necessary to send troops there, which involved a lot of troops and financial revenue of the imperial court.

Therefore, Yongzheng decreed that all sons and daughters of the clan and royal family who intend to make contributions overseas can spend money to buy the imperial fleet and firearms.The descendants of the royal family who can obtain a piece of land overseas independently without the help of the imperial court, and have a certain immigrant population on the land, can be crowned king by the imperial court, and this land will be the permanent fief of their descendants.

The princes and kings of the Qing Dynasty only had titles of silver and money and Lumi, and had no land fiefs. Naturally, they did not have as much power and influence as the princes and kings of the previous dynasties.

Once Yongzheng made this decree, he explicitly allowed the children of the clan and royal family to split the land overseas.

In fact, Yongzheng has no choice.The Central Plains has a large area and abundant resources, and the imperial court in a slightly remote place may not be able to take care of it, let alone overseas places.

Immigrants have greatly reduced the population of the Central Plains, and also reduced the conflict between the landless civilians and the landlord class.But those unowned lands are not all peaceful lands. After immigrating to the past, to ensure the ownership of those unowned lands, they had to send troops to manage and protect them.

The cost of these military salaries and firearms really made the imperial court a little overwhelmed.Besides, it is too far away from the Qing Dynasty, and the management of the court is inconvenient, and I am worried that the generals who lead the troops will support themselves.

Therefore, it is not a solution to send the children of the royal family to the past.

Let the ambitious and ambitious children of the royal family have a goal to fight for, and all the provinces will be fighting in the capital.

The royal family dignitaries went to sea to do business, and they also obtained a lot of gold and silver. Through the sale of fleets and firearms, the court could also recover a large amount of money.

If the clan wants to crack the soil and seal the king, they will naturally fight overseas.Even if the places they occupy no longer belong to the imperial court, it is better than letting foreigners occupy those places.

Even if the clans have cracked the soil and made the king, but the newly built land will inevitably need various commodities and people, and they still have to do business with the Qing Dynasty.The imperial court will not charge less import and export duties.

Although there are many wine bags and rice bags in the clan, there are also some insightful people.Even if they feel that they are weak, they can help each other. Even if they make a quick fief, they are next to each other and have a support.

Even the princes of Yongzheng are ambitious about overseas lands, let alone other princes and grandchildren who have no chance of succeeding to the throne?

Yinqi himself also took part in overseas business and trade, and naturally gained a lot of money.He himself is already in the position of prince, and he is not young anymore, and he has no intention of going overseas to fight.But among his sons, except for the eldest son, all of them want to venture out.

That's right, except for the eldest son who can inherit his title, the other sons can at most get a Viscount Bei, and most of them are General Zhen Guo, General Fu Guo and other titles.He has no status in Beijing, and only has a share of money to receive, so his children and grandchildren have no future.

It's better to go out and claim a land by yourself, not only can you become a king, but your children and grandchildren will also have the capital of land and population in the future, and if you manage it well, it will be like an independent tribe or small country.At that time, they will be completely different from the clans in Beijing and China.

The sons are ambitious, and Yin Qi also supports and encourages them, and is willing to help the sons with the money.Other clan dignitaries reacted similarly to Yinqi, that is, some clans had too many children and grandchildren, and they had to be prioritized within their families.

Now the imperial court has finally escaped from those overseas places, and a large amount of gold and silver has been recovered from the national treasury, so that it can manage the imperial court's own affairs calmly.

Because of what he has done since he became the prince, Emperor Yongzheng has gained great prestige. Not only is he regarded as a prosperous emperor by the people, but even the officials and dignitaries respect and fear him.

At this time, Emperor Yongzheng carried out government reforms again, with the distribution of the households into the mu, the fire consumption being returned to the public, and the officials and gentry paying the grain together, so the resistance was not so great.

Not only because of the high prestige of Emperor Yongzheng, but also because most of the officials and gentry gained huge profits through sea trade, and the income from the fields was small.

Moreover, as the migration progressed, the landlords needed to pay more money and food in order to recruit tenant farmers to farm for them.This makes buying more land less cost-effective than doing business.It also reduces the phenomenon of land annexation.

Undoubtedly, compared with decades ago, no matter what class of people they are, life is much better than in the past.

As Wu Yashi established the first factory, other people who followed suit emerged in an endless stream.The Qing industry also began to develop.

The world of Yinqi's first reincarnation is a book "Dream of Red Mansions".Yinqi thinks that if this world is also a book, it can be called "Looking at the Girl Who Travels Through and Changes the World".

Yinqi felt that Wu Yashi must have gained a lot of good fortune, and maybe there was a chance to continue reincarnation with memories and artifact fragments.

So it's always good to make a difference.Just like Yinqi himself, even in this position, it is difficult to do anything, he also secretly translated a large number of books to enlighten the wisdom of the people.Even if it doesn't work immediately, it will have some effect on the future development of the world.

As for Tong Jiashi, the other artifact fragment carrier, she is now the queen, and her eldest son has also been named the prince, who will succeed the emperor in the future.If she lives long enough, she can still be the queen mother, the empress dowager.It is extremely expensive in the world.

Too bad she doesn't have much influence over the development of the world itself.

Her luck and artifact fragments made her rich and honored all her life, but if she didn't get more merit and luck in this life, then she probably won't have the next reincarnation, and the artifact fragments would naturally be reincarnated.

Tong Jia himself really didn't have any more ideas.Since she obtained the space and the spiritual spring when she was a child, she has had a dream intermittently.

I dreamed that Tong Jia's family was conferred the title of first-class Cheng En Gong because of the birth of a second queen, Empress Xiao Yiren.After the death of Empress Xiao Yiren, her younger sister was also made a noble concubine.The entire Tong Jia family is extremely wealthy.

Tong Jia's family was deeply trusted by Emperor Kangxi, not only did Tong Guowei become a cabinet minister, but Tong Jia's children were successively granted titles and lords.The limelight even overwhelmed the Hesheli family of the crown prince's mother and the Nalan family of the grand prince's mother.

It's a pity that the good times don't last forever. In the later years of Kangxi, the Eighth Prince supported by Tong Jia's family failed to seize the heir apparent, which hurt Tong Jia's family greatly.Fortunately, there was another Long Kedo who supported the later Emperor Yongzheng and retained some of Tong Jia's decency and wealth.

But I don't know whether it was because the birds were all hidden, or Longkodo was really acting arrogantly and illegally. In the end, even Longkodo was convicted and liquidated.The Tong Jia family has completely declined so far, and it no longer has the atmosphere of the Kangxi period.

Tong Jiashi saw in her dream that after the draft, Emperor Kangxi pointed out that she had been handed over to a dandy clan son. Her life was not good, and she did not have any children of her own.After the family was defeated, she died of illness before living long.

After sorting out what happened in the dream, Tong Jiashi didn't tell anyone about the dream.As an ordinary housewife with mediocre IQ, she has no sense that she can save the family.I just want to get close to Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor who will succeed in the future.

At that time, the imperial concubine Tong Jia, who had not yet been conferred the title of empress, was still alive, and it was she who raised the fourth son Yinzhen.Is there anything more convenient than this?

Tong Jia created conditions at home, went to the palace to greet the imperial concubine, and also took the opportunity to get acquainted with the fourth son Yinzhen.

Perhaps in the past, the imperial concubine did not have the idea of ​​marrying her adopted son to her natal girl, but seeing the harmony between little Tong Jia and Yinzhen, she naturally had this idea.

As for little Tong Jiashi, at the beginning, he just wanted to have a little affection and friendship with the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen.When he becomes emperor in the future, he won't be too heartless.But when the imperial concubine revealed her intention to marry, how could Little Tong Jia be unwilling?This was a huge surprise for her.

She can be a queen in the future, and even her son can be a prince and an emperor.That couldn't have been better.

Because Tong Jiashi has always regarded Yinzhen as the future emperor, she is really gentle and considerate to Yinzhen to the extreme, and never dares to make excessive demands on him or do anything out of the ordinary.Unlike other princes Fujin, he may argue with his husband, or ask him to help his natal family.

She was able to give birth to five healthy sons and one daughter for Yinzhen one after another, but it was really not her plan to have no concubines.Facing Yinzhen, the future emperor, she respected and feared at the same time, and did not dare to use bad means against concubines in the mansion.

On the one hand, Tong Jia has a spiritual spring to help her and her children are in good health.

On the other hand, Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, saw that she was gentle and considerate, and had no scheming intentions. On the contrary, all the concubines had some powerful methods, so they went out of their way to protect her.He was also worried that having a son from a concubine would raise the heart of a concubine and harm the children of the concubine. Therefore, since Tong Jia could have children, he deliberately only wanted the children of the concubine.In fact, when the children from the concubine are a few years older and have the power to protect themselves, he will not deliberately not to have children from the concubine.

Because of Tong Jia's reverence for Emperor Yongzheng, she became a queen safely.Because she did not ask for any kindness to the Tong Jia family, Emperor Yongzheng did not deliberately suppress the Tong Jia family's relatives, but treated them like other families.

Even though Tong Jiashi is old and falls out of favor, she still has the respect of the emperor, and she will be the queen safely.Later, her eldest son succeeded to the throne, and she was promoted to empress dowager.A lifetime can be regarded as rich and stable, and contented.

In Yinqi's later years, only his eldest son was by his side, and the other descendants and grandchildren all went overseas.Some have already successfully obtained fiefdoms and been made kings, and even if they haven't been made kings, with the help of their brothers, they have gained a foothold.

Because of the influence of firearms, Mongolia's threat to the Qing Dynasty was greatly reduced, and Yongzheng no longer assigned clan women to make peace with Mongolia.Because Yinqi's upbringing of his daughters is different from other families, even his daughters are willing to follow his brothers to live overseas where there are not many restrictions on women, get married and settle down there, and also make contacts for the brothers.

Overseas, because of the ratio of male to female, there are few men who take concubines.Women also have to go out to do things, and their family status has greatly increased.

The descendants of the clan who went overseas not only took away their children and grandchildren, but also a large number of relatives from the mother clan, wives clan and so on.Because of the imperial court's many restrictions on the Eight Banners' children, such as not allowing business, etc., the Eight Banners' children who can only eat and die in Beijing, all have connections to the overseas clan.It can be regarded as greatly reducing the burden on the court.

Overseas development has in turn affected the Qing Dynasty. For example, the status of women has been significantly improved, and the style of concubinage among the powerful has also decreased.

This world is already very different from what is recorded in the history books.
