Both Kangxi and Qianlong have been to Jiangnan for sightseeing. Why hasn't Yongzheng been there?

In the final analysis, this is the difference in personal interests and national conditions faced by three generations.

The world is so big, I want to see it? This sentence can be done by Kangxi Qianlong, but it is difficult for Yongzheng to do it. Travel needs to do what you can. People on Forbes can travel in space, the rich can travel internationally, the middle class can travel at home, the working class can travel in the province, and the poor can only travel in the suburbs. The emperor is the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. It's not just one person who travels, but a group of people including princes, concubines and bodyguards. The south and downstream must cost a lot of money.

In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, especially in the early years, the economy and national luck developed upward. Whether it is the national treasury or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is plenty of silver, which provides material guarantee for the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Kangxi was a very successful king. He made a difference in his life and captured Ao Bai, Taiwan Province and Taiwan Province. Once a person is full of lofty sentiments, he will be on cloud nine, and Kangxi is no exception. He will also show the country, look at the flowers and plants of the motherland and look at his own world.

Ganlong's good fortune, the superior did not experience fierce competition, and inherited a vault full of silver left by Yongzheng (the superior initially saved 50 million silver). During the Qianlong period, there was basically no internal trouble and foreign invasion in the Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong could enjoy life with peace of mind. Gan Long himself is a charming person, and sending affection to the mountains and rivers is one of his great hobbies.

The main purpose of this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is politics. Besides abundant money, the political situation is stable. Jiangnan was the purse of the Qing Dynasty, and it was indispensable to attach importance to it. Kangxi visited the Ming Tombs in Nanjing to eliminate the gap between Manchu and Han and increase people's sense of identity and legitimacy to the Qing Dynasty.

Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years, which was different from the environment his father and son faced. He ascended the throne through fierce competition from his nine sons. At the beginning of his tenure, he rebelled at home and abroad and in the outer frontier, with strong internal opposition. Opponents, let yongzheng moment also dare not relax, yongzheng once left the capital, easy to chaos. Kangxi's treasury was empty in his later years, leaving Yongzheng with little money and unable to afford the big expenses of Jiangnan activities. Yongzheng is famous in history? Model worker emperor? Only thinking about work, not interested in playing.

The emperor, like ordinary people, is often in the Jianghu and can't help himself. Travel is romantic, but it is actually influenced by many factors. The key is to have money in your pocket.
