This issue is not so complicated, because neither the prince nor the old Bayi Party is willing to take over. The reason why they are reluctant to take over is not only that they are afraid of offending people, but they are also afraid that even if they offend people, they will not be able to recover their arrears. And Yin Chan originally appeared as the Cold Faced King, and there were not many ministers attached to him. Therefore, he is not afraid of offending people, and this matter is related to the security of the country. Wu Sidao persuaded him to bravely rush upwards while everyone was hiding behind, and to win the Sacred Heart of Kangxi as a lone minister. Thus winning the opportunity in the Kowloon conquest, in fact, this is the differentiated marketing in the sales means. Yin Chan eventually won the favor of Kangxi by raising funds for disaster relief, cleaning up the deficit of the national treasury, and recommending the old fourteen as the king of the great generals.
Historical background
This has to be said from the forty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the national treasury was empty of less than 500,000 taels. Just in time for the heavy rain, the Yellow River flooded. At that time, the Eight Brothers yin yu managed the household department, and the silver of the national treasury was borrowed. Of course, perhaps this is also one of the means by which the Eight Brothers co-opt the courtiers. In short, the imperial court has no money, but what should we do if the flood disaster is also needed?
After all, the recovery of treasury silver is a big deal, not so fast. Disaster relief was a top priority, so Kangxi could only send the four brothers Yinchen and the thirteenth brothers to Jiangnan to raise funds for disaster relief. The two brothers were not afraid of offending people in Jiangnan, and Sheng Sheng got two million taels of silver from the salt merchant (many of which were the salt merchants' filial piety to Lao Jiu).
Things worked well, and Yin Chan was promoted to the rank of king of the county when he came back. But this errand of chasing the treasury's silver has not yet been handled? Kangxi promised the title of prince, claiming that whoever could recover tens of millions of vehicles would immediately be crowned prince. The result was useless, all the brothers hid, and even the eighth elder wrote to resign from the household department errand and recommended the fourth elder to serve as this errand; and the prince also owed money, so he also deliberately let the fourth elder manage this errand to give himself a good one or two.
Mr. Wu's suggestion
This was the first time That Mr. Wu had met with the Four Princes, and the two of them had a very speculative conversation using Mr. Wu's article as a starting point. Wu Sidao's first contribution talked about this errand of chasing down the arrears of the national treasury, and made a detailed accurate classification of the objects of borrowing: 1. Poor officials had to borrow. 2. The hero will talk about pomp and circumstance and borrow a lot of money. Among them is Wang Sun Guixin. 3. Officials who are greedy for money. And Wu Sidao clearly pointed out the reason why the brothers did not take this errand: the offender was still secondary, and more importantly, he was afraid that the offending person would not be able to recover the silver and would deduct points from the emperor.
Wu Sidao pointed out that the four princes went up against the current and must take this errand. After taking on this errand, the idea will be done well before the label of being able to be a minister and serving the country and the people will be added to Kangxi's mind. The fourth prince did not express his position at that time, and it is estimated that he also intended to act opportunistically.
If the prince was not willing to take on this errand, wouldn't the emperor not even have a son who shared his worries?
The next day, Yin Chan was a saint who spoke of the disadvantages caused by the reduction of land in the local area. This is also an impression point, at least Yin Chan can see the shortcomings of government affairs from the local level. Sure enough, Kangxi said that he had taken care of himself. Kangxi thought that the prince who had been promised the title of prince would not have a prince to come forward to run an errand.
With so many sons, is there no one who undertakes the task of collecting money?
Yin Chan remembered Mr. Wu's words and immediately settled the task of chasing down the arrears. The attitude is also very resolute, of course, it is estimated that there is also an element of putting on a show in front of the father and emperor. Let's not talk about whether we can do a good job, Kangxi is very happy with this attitude. The four brothers formed a wise contrast with other princes, including the crown prince.
As long as it is beneficial to the imperial court and beneficial to our Great Qing Dynasty, it is not a big deal for a minister to be an orphan minister
brief summary:
This was the first plan that Wu Sidao had offered since he joined the Staff of the Four Princes, and this was also very much in line with the nature of the Fourth Prince's Cold Face King. At the same time, it took into account Yin Chan's mind of serving the country and the people, and then rubbed his good feelings in front of Kangxi. Kill three birds with one stone.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
