The emperor also said: "I am the same as the emperor's mother, I really want to know the place you went to, can you talk about it?" ”

Wang Ye and Fu Jin exchanged glances, and said in their hearts, "It's time to be careful." ”

"The minister obeyed. I don't know what the Queen Mother and the Emperor want to know? ”

Emperor Shunzhi said: "Brother Huang, looking at the gift you brought to the palace, I guessed that you must be going to a rich place, you just said that it does not belong to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, but it is the descendants of the Central Plains, right?" ”

"That's right. Chen's master, Master Gan Lin, called it a foreign land, and that country was called 'China Great'. It is also the descendants of the Chinese nation. It's just that in the course of history, he went to another place and took another path of development, and the situation was not quite the same as that of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Oh, yes, understandable. There will be many branches in a family. Are the people in that place the appearance and attire of the Qing people? ”

"The appearance is not much different from that of our people in the Qing Dynasty, but the clothing is very different, the language is different, the text is also different, they speak more straightforwardly, and they understand very well."

"Since it does not belong to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, then their coins are definitely not 'Shunzhi Tongbao', how do you solve the problem of living expenses?"

"Before leaving, the master instructed us to bring a few antiques, called cultural relics in the foreign land, and we just brought a few antiques from the house of Mr. Chen Jing, the father of Fujin, and exchanged them for money there. As you know, Mr. Chan has a knack for appreciating antiques. ”

"Your father-in-law is really chivalrous, why didn't you take the antiques I gave you?"

"How can a minister sell the emperor's reward? Thanks to these old pieces of the old box bottom of the gentleman. Among them is a thin gold book by Huizong of the Song Dynasty, as well as two porcelain pieces from the Song Dynasty and a lacquerware from the Han Dynasty. "The prince didn't say that the dowry didn't mention Mr. Zhou, the jade rough, let alone Shang Yi and prehistoric clay pots, and Mr. Chen was a descendant of King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The thin gold book, Song dynasty porcelain, and lacquerware were all things that the emperor and the empress dowager must have heard of, and they were not particularly valuable in the Qing Dynasty and would not have attracted their special attention.

"Just now you said that it is called a big country in China, how many people do you have?"

"1.3 billion."

"Much, how much? Billion? Our Qing Dynasty is already a big country with a population of 100 million, and that country is more than ten times more than our Qing Dynasty! Our population of 100 million has already made me anxious, and the emperor there will be exhausted to death! Shunzhi's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak.

"Back to the emperor, they don't have an emperor there."

"No, no emperor?" The fan in Shunji's hand fell to the ground. The prince bent down and picked it up and handed it to the emperor, and said with a smile: "They also have a person in the highest position there, and they don't call the emperor the chairman." It's not a monarch like us, this chairman is not hereditary, it's like he was in power for four or five years and then someone else. ”

"Then how can he listen to the domination of others when he goes down? If you don't have power, you can't be killed? ”

"That's not it, generally speaking, the age to become the chairman is not young, and it is time to retire and give him a pension to go home and enjoy happiness."

"That's pretty much it. What kind of clothes do the people there wear? Do you think it looks good? ”

"It's like we look at Westerners, it's awkward at first. Men have short hair and all kinds of clothes. ”

"You and your sister-in-law must have traveled all over the places of interest?"

"The minister did not visit the mountains and rivers. I feel that the mountains and rivers there are not as bright and beautiful as our Qing Dynasty. The main thing is that the pollution there is very bad, and there is a very choking smell when you gasp. The people there don't feel much anymore, maybe they're used to it. ”

"Why is this happening?"

"The population there is dense, the territory of 1.3 billion people is about the same size as the territory of our Qing Dynasty, and the cultivated land area is not very large. In this way, food is very important. In order to increase the yield of food, the people there use a thing called chemical fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer is a synthetic fertilizer, which can make the grain yield more than 1,000 catties per mu, but it has great harm and pollution to the land. Their means of transportation there are no longer cars, they are more efficient cars. Cars don't use feed, but they use gasoline and diesel. This kind of stuff is very polluting to the air and polluting the water. Master had something to do and put us at the house of a friend of his, who was a very learned couple. We ate and stayed at the eldest sister's house, and learned some of the skills there in our spare time. ”

"You mean, you also learned the craft there? What is it? ”

"As far as I can. You also know that the minister reads very few books, and when he is in the temple, he grows vegetables while practicing martial arts, and he can't do anything else, so in a foreign land, he also learns some methods of planting vegetables, planting fruit trees, planting flowers, and raising fish. There are some things that we may already have in the Qing Dynasty, but people will not tell others about the technical things, and they have to learn them by themselves. The eldest sister's husband is an expert in agriculture, so the minister learned a little from him. Yun'er is young and active, and she and her eldest sister's daughter learned a few small crafts that women like, that is, those small things and food, and Tian Guard's guard was not idle, otherwise how could it take a year? ”

"If I understand correctly, you won't be treated like a prince there, will you? That's another country. ”

"Of course, the emperor didn't understand wrongly, the minister is a cloth cloth and a flat-headed common man there."

"Brother Huang! I really didn't expect you to put down the dignity of the prince and learn the art as a commoner! My sister-in-law is a royal lady, and she also put down her body to learn exotic skills, I am very moved! ”

"When the minister arrives, who will he be the prince again? The situation over there is not as good as ours, and there are also places that are better than us, so the minister thought, whether it can be used or not, learn it first, or be idle. At the same time, I also bought a few instruments and equipment that we did not have in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Take a sip of tea and speak slowly." Emperor Shunzhi's eyes lit up, "Brother Huang still bought the equipment there?" What are they? "Personally, the prince continued to pour tea.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. There, Chen bought an aluminum alloy greenhouse frame that can afford to raise several seedlings and plant flowers, as well as matching glass. The minister wants to use it to raise seedlings, and it can be transplanted to the ground in February and March from the beginning of the first month, so that there will be fresh vegetables to eat when the green and yellow crops are not harvested. There are also a few fruits that are not available in the Qing Dynasty, and if they can be grown after experimentation, we can also eat exotic fruits and vegetables in the Qing Dynasty. The minister also bought some excellent rice seeds, wheat seeds and flower seeds there, and wanted to come back and try to plant them in the greenhouse. The minister is still hesitating, will the aluminum alloy frame he brought back cause criticism? Some people may say that the ministers have overstepped the system, but there is no such thing in the big house. ”

"What kind of transgression is this? It's not that you built a Taihe Hall on top of the house. Do you spend your own money on what others take care of? You go on to say. ”

"Your Majesty, you have been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, and the minister knows that you have been anxious about the matter of silver. The minister is a rough man with no ability, but he also wants to share his worries for the emperor. I also want to emulate the wealth of others there, but it is not just three or five years in terms of learning. It takes 16 years for people there to go from elementary school to university, and it takes three or four years to further their studies, and it will take about 20 years. Only then can he be regarded as an intellectual, a talent, and can be reused by the state. This bit of ink in the minister's stomach can only be said to be a little fur, and it is too late to learn now. If this greenhouse can work, the area will be expanded every year with seeds, so that tomatoes, strawberries, pearl cabbage, etc., will be able to be loaded into the vegetable baskets of the common people. ”

"Great, great! Brother Huang, you are bold enough to do a good job! I'm here to support you. See who dares to say what? You are not for yourself, but for the Qing Dynasty! Emperor Shunzhi was so excited that his face turned red.

The prince said, "Years of war, the treasury is empty...... The minister also wants to share the worries for the emperor......" is the most critical word. It immediately aroused the interest and resonance of the emperor. Prince Rui is a down-to-earth person, and the emperor knows him best.

The prince struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister's vegetables and fruits are successfully experimented and spread out in a large area, they will inevitably be transferred to the market for sale, so the rule that our officials are not allowed to do business is not to be ......."

"The law of the Qing Dynasty says that officials are not allowed to do business, which means that officials run businesses while being officials, and that he is seeking benefits for himself, and you are for the country! When it's time to have something to sell, I'll let you do business in the name of the imperial court, and that's the imperial merchant! ”

"Thank you, Emperor! However, I am afraid that this experiment of the minister will not have any effect back then. ”

"Isn't there a process for everything? You just settle down and do it slowly, just say what you need. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister was bold and outspoken. In addition to building a few ready-made greenhouses that he brought back, he also wanted to build a larger ice cellar. Yun'er learned a few ways to make ice fruits, which are cold fruits eaten in summer, which are very delicious and relieve the heat. The previous ice cellar in the house was too small to hold the ice. This thing is done, whether it is an official or a common person, it will like to eat it, maybe it is an entry. ”

"As soon as you say that, my saliva will come out. In contrast, our Qing Dynasty is still behind the foreign lands. However, if you can get back the experience of getting rich from others and use it for me, our Qing Dynasty may also be rich and strong, so you are the first to do it, great! You can build whatever you want, and you don't have to ask me for instructions. This has nothing to do with the establishment of the royal palace at all, and there are also provisions in the laws of the Qing Dynasty that allow each royal palace to build ice cellars separately, purely living at home, what is there when it is bigger? Do whatever you want. What you do is real, beneficial to the country, and your life is a thousand and ten thousand at ease. Oh, it would be nice if all our Qing Dynasty ministers were loyal and good generals like you! ”

"The emperor has won the award, and the minister is just trying his best to be a courtier's mind and strength, and whether he can succeed depends on the will of God. The minister is also worried about whether it will affect the normal business operations of the country. ”

"Won't this be, for example, mines, water transportation, has something to do with you? Your business will definitely be done! There's a preparation process for everything, isn't it? You go back and prepare, just say what you need! In the future, if you don't delay the normal life of the house, it will be good to sell some vegetables and flowers. We are "scholars, workers, peasants and merchants" in the Qing Dynasty, and the status of businessmen is not so high. However, you have the title of prince, and with my support, I'm afraid no one will dare to bully you, right? Needless to say, you're a layman when you come to business. You just take your time and try to do it. If you have this courageous loyalty, it is also your contribution to the country to put one or two pieces of silver in the treasury! I don't give you a mandate on how much profit you have to pay in a year, and you don't have to pay taxes. Because you're dealing with something completely unfamiliar and you're not a businessman, it's enough to have this heart! There is always some capital to do business, and I immediately ordered the household department to allocate silver taels, you can say a number. Is there a shortage of manpower? I will immediately find you the people you need to help. By the way, I will transfer Ma Ping, who was at the construction site of the Imperial Mausoleum, back to Beijing to help you. ”

"Thank you for your grace! Now there is no shortage of silver, and the treasury is empty, so don't bother with it. The minister's fortune plus the son's son, as well as the harvest on the Zhuangzi, are still slightly rich. The minister used this rich part as the capital. Besides, the minister doesn't dare to guarantee a certain profit, try it first, if you can, I'll ask you when you are short of silver. The minister really wanted to get help from Ma Ping, and he didn't know if he could leave the imperial mausoleum construction site. ”

"The imperial tomb is already under construction, don't miss him alone, let him go to you, he just can't help you, and he can learn some skills from you. This person's character is not bad, and he will not hinder you or stumble. Didn't you also cooperate with the treasure theft case that you solved for me? ”

"Yes, Ma Ping is really good. Oops, it's not too early, it's time for the minister to go home. ”

"Brother Huang can't go! I've already arranged a banquet for you and Sister Jinxiu, and I don't know how I can thank you, O future hero! You're really worried about me......"

"Your Majesty! We are brothers, don't keep saying thank you! Everything is within the courtier's business. ”

"Nope! I want to thank you! Please bow down to the royal brother! As he spoke, he knelt down on one leg and gave the prince a fist salute.

"Oh, the emperor can't help it, he can't do it! The foolish brother returned the salute! The prince knelt in front of the emperor and also clasped his fists and saluted.

The queen mother's words shocked the queen mother, and there were no loopholes when she pondered carefully. The temperament of Lord Rui has always given people a sense of honesty, simplicity, and wisdom at the same time. It stands to reason that after a year of learning and buying things, it seems that there is no time to think about anything else and do anything else. The exquisite things he brought back were really not available in the Qing Dynasty. And what he said about the greenhouse, the 1.3 billion population, as well as the cars, and the air pollution, are not made up out of thin air by Lord Rui, a person who has been a monk for many years and has not much knowledge, but can only see what effect the skills he brought back can have in the future.
