Chapter 875: Meet Kangxi
In the south study of the Forbidden City, Master Gan Lin has been talking with Emperor Kangxi for a while, and Emperor Kangxi, who has been cultivated to be respected by the world, is full of respect and sincerity in front of Master Ganlin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause he already knew that Master Gan Lin was a Bodhisattva, and no one in the world, including the emperor, dared to put the emperor on the throne in front of the Bodhisattva. Who is a bodhisattva? It is the Venerable One who saves all sentient beings and has great compassion, and disrespect for the Bodhisattva will be punished by God. Master Gan Lin sat and spoke, and Emperor Kangxi served as a disciple, and concentrated on listening to the teachings of the Bodhisattva, not daring to have the slightest distraction, although his government affairs were too many to count.
"The poor monk is here to leak a heavenly opportunity to His Majesty, in case he is punished by being angry with Prince Rui or casually charged with a crime when he is busy with government affairs and in a bad mood in the future."
Kangxi's face turned red all of a sudden. He has not done a lot of things that are busy with government affairs and unhappy mood to be angry with others, although he has not been angry with the emperor's uncle, but he does not dare to guarantee that it will never happen in the future. When a person's power is too great, others can't afford to provoke him, even if the emperor says something wrong, no one will pick up the tiger's whiskers when he is angry, after all, the head on the neck can be installed if it is not cut off. There are also people who deliberately flatter and slap horses in every possible way, and sometimes they can't tell what is true and what is against their hearts, and they are praised and killed in the praise of everyone. If Master Gan Lin talks like this, he has to lose his head if he changes someone, but Kangxi doesn't dare to cut off the Bodhisattva's head, and he has to be honestly afraid.
"Master, please call a spade."
"What the poor monk wants to say is that your imperial uncle used his own silver to do business, and the money he earned was sent to the treasury, just to help His Majesty establish a prosperous Kangxi era that will be remembered for thousands of years, and to let His Majesty create a glorious historical stage of the Qing Dynasty. He is not an ordinary man who has been reincarnated many times in the earthly world, but a god who has descended from the Buddha world. Therefore, he has no interest in imperial power, and he will not pose any threat to His Majesty's dragon chair. ”
"But, what virtue do I have, how can I let someone like Uncle Huang help?"
"Very simply, Your Majesty is also a god who came down from a certain Buddhist world and has his own historical mission. Your mission is to establish a prosperous dynasty in the Kangxi era, where the country will prosper and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Although this history is not particularly long, it is still glorious in human society. Your imperial uncle is to help you financially, you must not only be a wise monarch, but also a benevolent monarch who cares about the people in the world. ”
"Don't worry, Master, I already want to do this, but it's still a little unclear how to do it, please make it clear to the Master."
"In the history of the Chinese nation, there have also been Daoming Jun, right? You have to emulate them, but do better than them. This question also has to be realized by yourself, poor monks do not get involved in the affairs of the world, let alone political affairs. ”
"Thank you, Master. Please rest assured, Master, I will never do anything wrong to Uncle Huang. ”
"Then please Your Majesty do it for yourself and take your leave." Master Gan Lin did not praise Kangxi because he was the emperor, nor was he arrogant at all. has always been neither humble nor arrogant, but Kangxi felt that Master Ganlin's attitude was normal. People who have always said "the emperor is sage" do not necessarily think that the emperor is sage. Master Ganlin's words shook Kangxi quite a lot! I still feel the roar in my ears. Brother Xuan seems to have heard the term "business mission" in his mouth, but he has never taken it to heart. It turned out that this mission was to help himself, and he worked hard to help himself establish a prosperous Kangxi era. What kind of high wind and bright festival is this?
The Rui Wangfu and the Xuan Wangfu are still busy every day as before, and the prince has taught the cultivation methods of gardens, grains, flowers, medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, etc., to many flower workers and eunuchs, little maids, girls and grandmothers in the garden of the palace, and if they master one of them, they will fend for themselves when the prince leaves the palace and they may not be able to keep up. In particular, the high-yield rice and red rich apples cultivated by the prince added 100,000 taels of silver to Kangxi's treasury? Red Fugui is an exotic red Fuji, but if you call it Red Fuji, it will remind people of Japan. Mt. Fuji is the only one in Japan, and many people who read a few books know it. The prince didn't want to be seen as a traitor and traitor who was in touch with foreign countries because of these trivial things. Especially Kangxi, he must think that the place he went to was Japan, where is Japan thousands of miles away from the Qing Dynasty? Therefore, just a word difference is likely to become a "crime of deception".
Bing'er and Xue'er continued to buy spices in India, and Xiao Eniang's information reported that the quality of the spices concocted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs using Bing'er Xue'er's spice raw materials was quite good! When he got the spice shop opened in the house for sale, he was particularly loved by the female relatives of the official eunuchs in the capital.
Spice raw materials are everywhere in India, and in her spare time, Bing'er Xue'er also used to collect roses, jasmine, narcissus, tulips, hyacinths, violets, bergamot, lemons, oranges, camphor, sandalwood and other plant spices near her residence, and after arriving at the Rui Wang's Mansion, they were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the craftsmen would process and refine these raw materials into perfumes, sesame oils and essences. After the sale, the response was good, and there were many repeat customers.
There are no ready-made plant spices, as well as sandalwood, agarwood, tulips, cloves, dipterocarp, incense, ambergris, musk, perfume, incense, incense and pills, sperm, incense, etc., which have been purchased and exchanged for barter, have successively arrived in Yun'er's yard.
Perfumes, oils and essences derived from plant fragrances such as rose, jasmine, narcissus, tulips, hyacinths, violets, bergamot, lemons, tangerines, camphor, sandalwood, etc.
There are also animal fragrances such as musk, civet, beaver, etc. As long as Xue'er bought it, she bought some processed ones and let Xiaoeniang transport them back to her house by air. This time, it was a sure battle, and after asking the price in the Qing Dynasty, he dared to buy it in large quantities and ship it back.
Only the four people, Wang Ye, Yun'er and Baby Beibei, knew that Xue'er and Bing'er had arrived in India, and these things were all shipped from India. didn't dare to tell Fu Jin, for fear that she would think about it. also told Bing'er Xue'er, come back quickly, don't be greedy. It's almost 10,000 miles away, and Yun'er is really worried. I always felt that the person who took them away seemed to have some intentions, and I didn't dare to think about it.
Fujin also felt that these things sent back one after another seemed to be foreign, and he also knew that Kunming was very close to foreign countries, and there were many foreigners who came to Daqing to do business, so it must have been bought by Bing'er and Xue'er in Kunming.
India is a large cotton-producing country, and the prices are very low, and the prices of grain, fruits, flowers, medicinal herbs, and spices are cheaper than those in Kunming. Xue'er bought a large amount of cotton, grain, fruits, flowers, spices and Indian specialty Darjeeling black tea in India, so that Xiao Eniang could move back to Daqing at any time.
The watermelons of the Qing Dynasty are ripe once a year, and watermelons in India are available at any time and are very cheap. Xue'er bought a lot of watermelons for Xiaoeniang to transport back, and used these watermelons to juice and sell them at a high price.
Fujin asked Yun'er, what did Xue'er do when she bought so much cotton and grain, and she also had silk in her hand, why did she still buy silk? Yun'er said that cotton in the south is cheap, and silk is woven from another silkworm cocoon. Food is prepared for the victims in the years of famine.
As Xue'er brought back more and more gems and other foreign supplies, the supplies of the "southern goods store" in the prefecture became more and more abundant, and all the materials came from Yunnan, the southernmost point. Let's just talk about those fruits in the south, people wonder why his fruits don't rot after such a long journey? Even if it's made into juice, cold drink, or fresh fruit, right?
Yun'er also juiced the fruits of Yunnan and mixed them into the ingredients for ice cream and ice cream, and the ice cream and ice cream made were even more delicious than before!
The gems were not sold on the counter, as that would have attracted thieves, and the Lady of the Commander had accidentally taken out one or two of them when she visited the house of her lady friend. Because of its low cost, the price when it is sold is slightly lower than that of the gems on the market in the Qing Dynasty. However, these gems from the gem source have been tested by experts and determined to be of high quality, and there are people who secretly want to profit from them.
Don't underestimate Mrs. Tong, raise the price immediately, and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. Who is Mrs. Tong? Today's holy grandmother! Grandma's in-laws! Although Kangxi's mother, Concubine Tong, is gone, her grandmother is also genuine. Someone impeached Lord Tong and got involved in business. But the emperor said that Mrs. Tong's business has nothing to do with Lord Tong, she is helping Rui Wangfu to do business. Ruiwangfu is justified in doing business, and it is a prince and merchant designated by the emperor, so Mrs. Tong's business is also justified. Everyone knows the blessing of Lord Rui. It's not easy for Fujin to come forward, so it's okay to let her aunt come forward, right? The key is that Mrs. Tong's income is the same as that of Ruiwangfu, but it belongs to the operator and takes 10% of the profit. So that no one has anything to say, and with it, more noble ladies need gems. Gemstones set in jewelry and given to her daughter as a dowry could not be better.
At the beginning, Bing'er subdued two giant pythons, and a lot of gems were burned out of the giant python's stomach, all of which were brought by the people they ate. Some of these people are in the gem business, but where can they find the source of these people? Bing'er Xue'er once asked what to do with these gems? And the Master said, "Then it will be yours, and you will sell them to get the silver and give it to the treasury." Isn't this a greedy ink? Bing'er Xue'er didn't even leave a single gem for herself, and handed it all over to her father. There are also fine gems exchanged by Bing'er Xue'er for exotic resin ornaments, which are inlaid on the jewelry, which is really too stylish.
When Master Gan Lin came to the house, he happened to meet the emperor and told the emperor about the situation. said that Bing'er had been swallowed by the python, and used his ability to defeat the python, and was afraid that the python would not die, so he set fire to their corpses, and got it from the corpses. These gems are not from the belly of the python, they are from the people they eat, and Bing'er Xue'er didn't leave any of them and sent them back to the house. The people of Yunnan are in dire straits, and the people in the war zone are in dire straits, and they are all looking forward to quelling the rebellion of the three feudatories one day sooner.
Emperor Kangxi was moved to tears for the high wind and bright festival of his two companions. I don't want anything valuable, what kind of mind and realm does this have to be? My cousin was born so beautiful, and she is a princess of the royal seal, so she can dress up as she wants. But Xue'er has always been dressed as an ordinary little daughter-in-law of the Han family, and the jewelry on her head is still the alloy jewelry brought back by Prince Rui from a foreign land. The alloy is not gold, it is a material synthesized from metals such as copper and iron, but the production process is more advanced, and it looks shiny, but it is actually much cheaper than real gold and silver.
Originally, Mrs. Kieran also wanted to introduce Bing'er Xue'er to participate in the caravan show in India, which was brought together by many performance groups, most of them mainly singing and dancing, but also performing acrobatics, equestrians, and magic. But Cher didn't want to participate. She still wants to honestly do her barter business in various towns in Yunnan, that caravan she has never touched, and she heard Xiaoeniang say that when she was in a foreign land, she saw a movie called "Caravan", two men duel for a woman, and cut people with shovels. Xue'er knew her appearance and didn't want to cause trouble, so she discussed with Bing'er and decided to return to Yunnan from Nepal all the way east. They were treated to good food and drink at Mrs. Ashmita's house, and their accommodation was more comfortable than in Yunnan. However, "although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a family of long-term love", an Indian businessman who came to the capital from Tibet to do business brought back news that Wu Sangui's army was losing and retreating, and could not hold out for two or three years, and now he was trapped in Hunan and could not pull out his legs. This makes Bing'er Xue'er's desire to return to Yunnan like an arrow.
They estimated that after returning to Yunnan, the chances of performing would be much smaller, because the purpose of coming out this time was to do business, and if it wasn't for Wu Sangui's coercion, they wouldn't have been able to come out.
When they were about to leave India, a messenger came to tell them that a middle-aged monk was going to see the princess and her at the door. It's strange, but the monks are Buddhists and should be seen. This monk was a person that Bing'er Xue'er didn't know, he was very handsome, and his manners were elegant and noble.
"Does Master regard us as envoys of the Qing Dynasty or is he an old friend with us?"
"According to the secular name, it is a relative, a family." The monk spoke unhurriedly, and there was peace between his brows. But the words she said surprised Bing'er Xue'er.
There were only three of them in the room, and the monk said, "You were young when the poor monk left, and you have only seen the poor monk a few times, so you may not have any impression." The only purpose of the poor monk asking to see them is to ask you to tell your parents that the former Jidu is still alive, so that they will not be worried. ”
Speaking of Jidu Bing'er, I don't know who it is, but Xue'er knows, she suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Jidu's sleeve and shouted, "Second uncle, is it really you?" Are you still alive? That's great! Cher told you about your house? ”
"I don't need children, my uncle is already an outsider, he has no concept of home, no wife and children's concern. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so there is no need to disturb them. The poor monk still has a chance to cultivate in this life, and he is very grateful to the blessed prince and Chen Fujin, so he thanked him in person. The poor monk is very good here, there is no concern, you can just bring the words to the prince Rui, and the poor monk will leave. ”
"That second uncle, tell your niece what you lack. Or ......"
"Child, uncle doesn't lack anything, don't worry." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, who's this guy? How come I've never seen one? ”
"He's the former Prince Jane."
"Huh?" Bing'er's upper and lower gums were separated for a long time.
