Chapter 206 Who is in the light, who is in the dark
As Hu Chuyuan expected, Prince Chun and Prince Gong are waiting for him in the Yongjun Palace. No, we have to persuade him to give up the idea of reform and not to be the governor of Zhili... If it really doesn't work, the position of the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang can still be negotiated.
Hu Chuyuan, to be honest, he doesn't want to be Guan Zhong. The problem is that the emperor forced him to do it. What can he do?
He talked about the things that he discussed with Emperor Guangxu later, and avoided the important things, especially the general's office as the focus of the reform, separating the power of the prime minister's senior government office, which inevitably made Prince alcohol relieved.
Prince Chun knows that Hu Chuyuan is not the kind of foolish person Zhang Baixi, and he knows the importance in his heart.
If Hu Chuyuanzhen hand over the power of the prime minister, it is not impossible to let him be the governor of Zhili. In case someone really wants to support Cixi to come out again, he, the governor of Zhili, will definitely not sit idly by.
Anyway, there is a marriage relationship between Prince Chun and Hu Chuyuan, which is a very important political guarantee - at least that's what Prince Chun thinks.
The three of them discussed all night, especially about the issue of Manren's maintenance of silver.
During the reign of Kangxi, this was already a headache for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. The cost was so high that it was really amazing. During the Daoguang period, this problem had been overwhelmed by everyone.
What Hu Chuyuan said is very simple. If you put it off again, the Qing Dynasty will be put off.
The expenditure of 70 to 80 million yuan a year is 7,000 to 8 billion yuan in ten years. After 30 years, the full number of people increased to 3 million yuan. When there were 4 million yuan, there was no need for foreign countries to fight at all, and the full Qing Dynasty went bankrupt first.
The most important problem is that the Eight Banner Battalion of the Qing Dynasty is no longer useful, and it has to raise another 100,000 troops for training, and the annual expenditure is also about 50 to 60 million yuan.
If you raise the army, you can still maintain the country. If you don't raise the army, continue to raise the Eight Banners Camp. If there is a little wind, you can't expect those feudal officials in the place to recruit you in the future.
Therefore, the Eight Banners Camp must be cut in half, and more than half of the other Manchu people must be demolished.
The best way is to reduce Manchus to 50% of the current employment, and then allow Manchus to choose their own jobs and support themselves. After ten years, it will be reduced to 20%, and then maintain this standard all the time, which can only be regarded as retaining a preferential treatment and national subsidy.
A fart problem, three people actually got involved until dawn.
Finally, Prince Gong Yi
