Chapter 705, Inspect Tianjin
In the open space next to the Wudao Immortal Tea Tree, there is a red sandalwood root carved tea art table, on which there is a complete set of Yixing purple clay pots, and the spring water of the freshwater medicinal spring is boiling on the small stove.
Entering the world of medicine garden to drink enlightenment tea has almost become a habit of Hongli.
As long as people who have been to the world of the medicine garden, even if they do not have spiritual roots, they can also feel the benefits here, the rich aura, in one breath and one breath, can be absorbed by the human body, and gradually improve the human physique. Of course, this utility needs to be accumulated over a long period of time.
The most obvious feeling is that you can feel that the air here is fresher and the smell is more pleasant.
Hongli smiled and took a sip of enlightenment tea, nodded and said, "Ming'er's tea-making skills have improved a lot!"
The corners of her mouth twitched, Ma Dan, the world of the medicine garden cannot be allowed to outsiders to enter, and her son is still young, of course, she can only make tea by herself, and over time, the technique will naturally be practiced.
Hao Ming suddenly felt that he was born to serve people's lives!!
"Tomorrow, I'm going to inspect the navy at the port of Tianjin, do you want to go with Ming'er?" asked Hongli Youyou.
"Go, why don't you go?" Hao Ming raised her eyebrows, in the three years since she gave birth to Yongyao, she has already been to Tianjin Mansion once. At that time, the railway had just been built, so I took a steam train back with a nostalgic idea......
Tianjin is now home to the largest treaty port, the largest port, the largest naval station, and the largest iron shipyard in the northern region...... It may not be as prosperous as Gyeonggi, but it is more lively than Gyeonggi, and the streets are full of crooked nuts with golden and red hairs, green eyes and blue eyes, and all kinds of novel and interesting Western gadgets, which are more and fresher than those in Gyeongseong.
The annual tax revenue of the Tianjin Prefecture is already comparable to the annual revenue of half a province! Therefore, even if the thunder makes Tianjin more and more strange day by day, those old-fashioned Confucian ministers are still helpless.
Now Lei Ting has served as the governor of Tianjin, and is also in charge of the expansion of Tianjin Port and the upgrading of naval equipment. Nowadays, the most sophisticated army of the Qing Dynasty should be the Tianjin Wei Navy, like a giant beast of iron ships, loaded with new cannons full of black holes, idle and idle to run to the sea for a walk, fight pirates, grab guns and robbers, gray income fills the pockets of the Tianjin Wei Navy.
Because the next step is to open up maritime trade routes. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress bandits, otherwise as soon as the businessman goes to sea, he will encounter robbers and robbers or something, and his life safety will not be guaranteed, so he will still do wool business? !
The sea ban of the Qing Dynasty, with a relaxation that has never been seen in hundreds of years, gave the merchants a huge temptation and confusion. Who doesn't know that trade at sea is the most profitable? Now it's hot.
However, Hongli did not completely liberalize the sea ban, and under the construction of Thunder, only a part of the firm's overseas trade license was given - this license is also the word of Thunder, just selling this license makes Hongli's inner nu pocket bulge!
To get from Gyeonggi to Tianjin, you can take a steam train or take a cement road. Obviously, the former is faster and more labor-saving, but Hongli did not hesitate to choose the latter.
When the railway was just completed, Yu Ming also accompanied Hongli to do it once, and then ...... She just didn't want to take a second ride.
The steam train is not only noisy, but also rattling and clattering, which makes people want to die and want to die, which is completely different from the trains of later generations.
Therefore, it is better to take the instrument car and take the flat cement road, which is much smoother than the previous official road.
Ming hugged Yongyao and sat in Hongli's Yuluoyi car, only hearing the sound of the wheels, but he didn't feel half a bump at all. The reason for this is that the road is better than before, and the second is that the instrument car is much better than before...... Thunder caught it with his own hands, designed a shock absorption system, and used tires for the wheels. Sure enough, it's much more comfortable.
The road is good and the car is good, the natural travel speed is greatly accelerated, and it is not a problem to travel 100 miles a day, so I arrived at Tianjin Mansion in the evening of the next day.
Naturally, the imperial driver was stationed at the yamen of the prefect of Tianjin, and the prefect was thunderous to greet him, and was responsible for accompanying the emperor to inspect the port. The prefect's wife, Ilgen Jueluo, and the prefect's wife, Mei Gu, dressed neatly in the early morning of the second day, and went to wait outside the room.
This is the first time I have seen Thunder's eldest wife, Ilgen Jue Luo, who is very beautiful and has good rules, but she is a little restrained. Kowtow to please An, and give her a seat with a bang, and she only has half of her buttocks, how hard it takes to work in that posture, it is not as easy as the plum bone standing on the side.
In fact, according to the usual practice, Ilgen Jue Luo, who has an edict, should indeed come to ask for peace, but Mei Gu is only a concubine, and she is actually not qualified to meet the queen. But Ilgen Jue Luo still brought her, which shows that this woman is very good at being a person and is also very knowledgeable.
Last spring, Lei Ting brought his wife to Tianjin to take up his post, that is to say, he hadn't seen Mei Gu for more than a year. When she came to Tianjin Mansion and came to the prefect's yamen, she definitely wanted to meet her. Instead of waiting for her to speak, it was better to take the initiative to bring the plum bones, so Ilgen felt that Luo was very interesting.
Lei Ting now has three children, the eldest wife gave birth to the eldest daughter, and the younger wife Mei Gu is also quite competitive, giving birth to two in one go...... Girl.
At this time, I can clearly see that Ilgen Jue Luo's lower abdomen is ...... A little drumming......
Mei Gu hurriedly bent his knees and said: "Master Niangniang, Madame has been in body for more than four months. ”
Ilgen Jue Luo was busy and said: "There are already three Gege in front of me, and I just hope that this child is a son, which can be regarded as a succession to the master." As he spoke, Ilgen felt that Luo's face was sad, as if he was afraid of having another girl.
Mei Gu sighed and said: "It's all because the slave is useless, and he gave birth to two children in a row, and they are all girls." ”
Ming silently took a sip of tea, his depression was incomprehensible, and looking at Mei Gu's tone, he clearly felt that he couldn't stand the thunder......
Lei Ting himself is afraid that he may not be enthusiastic about what kind of heirloom son, but the two wives are quite concerned.
It was not easy for him to leave the palace once, and naturally he didn't want to waste time in the inner house, so he proposed that he wanted to go out for a walk. Tianjin Mansion is very lively now, and there are more interesting things on the market, which is far more interesting than this prefect's yamen.
Ilgen Jue Luo was shocked: "The master's status is noble, in case he bumps and bumps outside, how can it be good!"
Yu Ming waved his hand and said directly: "The emperor has already allowed this!"
At this moment, Ilgen felt that Luo didn't even dare to cry, so he hurriedly pulled the concubine's plum bones and ordered her to wait for her to wait for her every inch.
Bo Ming wants to travel, and naturally there are indispensable people around him, and he is not bad for Mei Gu. However, the kindness of the thunder wife was difficult, and she had to respond.
So, he changed into ordinary clothes, sat in a carriage and went out through the back door of the prefect's yamen...... (To be continued.) )
