Kangxi was well-versed in history books and understood that no dynasty could last forever. All his efforts, or perhaps the efforts made by every emperor of the Qing Dynasty, were to allow the Qing Dynasty to last longer.
He had heard from Yinreng's inner voice about the duration of the Qing Dynasty, and also about the fate of the Manchus who were supported by the Han people when the Qing Dynasty collapsed.
In order to "survive", they collectively changed their sex life.
Ordinary Manchus could change, but what about the princes and nobles? What about the royal family?
Their fate can be imagined.
The Han people today are the little sheep that the Manchus bully at will, but that doesn’t mean they will be bullied by the Manchus forever.
The Manchus have been trampling on the Han people for nearly three hundred years. Now that the dynasty is in its twilight years, the numerical gap between the two is so huge. Will the Han people still be willing to be oppressed by the Manchus?
Perhaps the people who most want the Manchus to be exterminated are the Han people.
and……
After three hundred years of living a superior life, they have probably forgotten the ability their ancestors relied on to survive, and retreating to their ancestral land has become a delusion.
In such an environment where people are surrounded by wolves, it is not surprising that people collectively change their surnames.
If the Manchus do not want to become lambs to be slaughtered, they really cannot be so content with the status quo anymore.
Kangxi gripped the chess piece tightly between his fingers, his eyes filled with worry.
We have to find a way to narrow the numerical gap between the Manchus and the Han people.
"It's not that I can't be cruel..."
Kangxi took a deep breath and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Now is not the time to think about countermeasures. He must take advantage of this rare opportunity today to collect more useful things to facilitate his subsequent layout.
"The power of the Baoyi families is spread throughout the three upper banners. Even if we only target the leading families, it will be a significant loss for the Aisin-Gioro family."
Cleaning up the Baoyi family was not a difficult task for him, but what would happen after he finished cleaning up?
In addition to the royal family, the nobles of the upper three banners and the lower five banners were all eyeing the fat piece of meat of the Baoyi families. Once the power of the Baoyi families fell apart, it would be difficult for the royal family to support the Baoyi families again.
"Besides...I can't completely ignore the boss and the others."
Hearing this, Yinreng curled the corners of his lips sarcastically.
"As expected... I'm still planning to pick it up high and put it down gently, huh..."
He had lost interest in continuing to communicate with Kangxi.
Kangxi placed another piece on the chessboard, ignoring Yinreng's disappointment, and changed the subject.
"You told me before that someone was plotting something bad at the port. I've sent people to investigate, and we'll have news in the next few days. If anyone from the Imperial Household Department is involved, I will show no mercy."
If he hadn't embezzled his things or abused his power for personal gain, he could have turned a blind eye, but now, if he didn't drag a few people out to chop them up, he would have felt relieved.
If Yinreng just didn't want to communicate with Kangxi just now, now he really wanted to throw the chessboard and leave.
Kangxi's words clearly told him that it was okay to punish corrupt officials, but it was not okay to ban smoking.
"So... the Emperor insists that opium can be classified as a medicine and sold within Qing territory?"
emperor?
Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then frowned angrily. This brat didn't even call me "Ama"!
"The opium received by the Thirteen Hongs was directly stored in the Imperial Hospital's warehouse after being delivered to the capital. As long as the seaports are well guarded, I don't think opium will become rampant in the Qing Dynasty."
Yinreng smiled.
"Hahahahahaha, in one word... Absolute! I really don't know where this old man gets his confidence from. He doesn't think opium will become rampant in the Qing Dynasty~"
Yinreng was feeling weird in his heart.
"I really want you to live another hundred years, so you can see with your own eyes what the Eight Banner Army, filled with drug addicts, is like. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I wonder if you'll still be able to say such things by then."
Hearing this, Kangxi's heart skipped a beat -
An Eight Banners Army full of drug addicts?
What's the meaning?
