Chapter 120 Good things are many

As we enter September, the weather begins to cool. Kangxi said goodbye to the dragon eggs and Tuan Tuan who were reluctant to give up on him, and returned to the palace with a large team of people. Kangxi's stay in Xiangxuehai this time is really a bit long, although it is on the grounds of summer vacation, if he does not return to the palace, the concubines and some powerful people in the palace, the ministers will protest if they can't keep it.

In the eighteenth year of Kangxi (1679 AD), for the Qing Dynasty, a country with frequent natural disasters, it should be regarded as a smooth year. So far, there have been only a few small floods in a few places, and there have been no casualties, only a few low-rise houses have been washed away, and the economic damage is not large.

Due to the implementation of the new river control strategy and the extensive use of cement, the control of the Yellow River has also achieved initial results. In particular, several embankments and small reservoirs poured with cement are not only easy to construct, but also cost-effective, and durable. After testing, the governor of the river, Jin Fu, patted his chest and assured that it would definitely withstand the test of the great flood. To this end, Kangxi also deliberately ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to increase the output of cement.

Since both cement and glass production require large quantities of coal, the supply of coal in Beijing has become tight. The Mentougou Coal Mine had to expand again. But digging coal is definitely a dirty, tiring, and dangerous job, and not many people are willing to do it. And the imperial court could not force the people to dig coal. Xiangxuehai Craftsman's Institute, the latest development of wind hoist and transmission device just solves this urgent need, after equipping to the coal mine, not only greatly increased the output, but also a lot more convenient, but also saves a lot of labor. In addition, Kangxi thought of another way, which was also inspired by Shuyun's proposed way to deal with prison prisoners. It was to send some of the defeated soldiers captured in the rebellion of the three feudatories to work in the Mentougou coal mine. The combination of these two measures can finally ensure the supply of coal.

As for the living conditions and life and death of those captives. No one cares, everyone only knows that the king is the king and the loser. This is the rule of this era. And Shuyun is powerless to change anything now. In the past year, Shuyun has made up a lot of things, although all of them are beneficial, but Shuyun doesn't want to give Kangxi the impression that he is meddling in everything in the government. Especially on the sensitive topic of rebels, for these people who threaten the imperial power, with Kangxi's character, he will never tolerate mercy, nor will he allow others to put their beaks. So we have to wait for a suitable moment to intervene in this matter.

However, the policy of revegetation along the Yellow River basin has not yet been effective because it has been implemented for a short time. But the successful use of cement gave Kangxi and his courtiers confidence. Moreover, after repeated observation and demonstration by a group of knowledgeable officials of the Ministry of Industry and River Affairs. It was found that plants do have the effect of maintaining water and soil and preventing floods. This result finally silenced the courtiers who had been opposed.

The plan of "returning farmland to forests and returning grazing land to grassland" on the Loess Plateau is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the first batch of seedlings provided by Xiang Xuehai has already been planted this spring, and according to the officials in charge, except for a small number of them that were damaged during transportation, all the other seedlings have survived and are growing well. Since the imperial court is based on the principle of voluntariness. It is not mandatory for the people in the area who are unwilling to relocate, and a series of plans have been formulated to help the people make a fortune, so many people still support this initiative of the imperial court, and of course there are also opponents. But the most is a wait-and-see attitude. These reactions are also expected by Kangxi and Shuyun, and now it is only the trial stage, and the good show is still to come. In Shuyun's words: "Ordinary people, no matter how much you talk to them, it's useless." They only recognize the practical, as long as they see the effect. When the results are out, they will definitely rush to come immediately. Driven by profits, you can't stop it if you want to. ”

Kangxi agrees with this point of view, and in addition, Shuyun's words also strengthened his confidence.

And the rebellion of the three feudatories that lasted for six years is also coming to an end, and the other feudal kings and rebel generals have all surrendered or been exterminated, leaving only Wu Sangui alone, and this former "brave champion of the three armies, filial piety and nine sides" Lang Lang young man, first against the Ming, and then returned to the Qing Dynasty to achieve the prestige of his generation of heroes, at the end of the road finally Hengzhou emperor, miserable completion of his lifelong dream after leaving the west. Leaving his grandson, Wu Shifan, who was ambitious and talented, led a group of subordinates to resist stubbornly and fight for trapped beasts.

The good news from all sides kept coming, which also made the prestige of Kangxi, the young son of heaven, rising.

People in this era are very superstitious, especially in awe of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, Kangxi once held the dragon egg, which showed two front teeth, and said to Shuyun, "Since the birth of Yinzhen and Tianen, the good news is continuous, it seems that it is the favor of the heavens, it is really a blessed little guy!" "The shadow brought about by the passing of Xiaozhuang has been completely eliminated.

What can Shuyun say, she can only smile, wishing that Kangxi had such an idea.

After Kangxi left, Shuyun could finally take the dragon egg and Tuan Tuan to play in the space again. As soon as the little ones entered the space they had not seen for a long time, they were overjoyed. The little appearance of dancing hands is not to mention recruiting more people.

Xiao Jin ran over as soon as Shuyun entered the space, "Yunyun, you can be regarded as bringing the little babies in again, I want to kill them, your emperor's husband is really annoying, he always stays here and doesn't leave, so he can't play with the little babies for so long." "Xiao Jin, who is like a child, is very fond of the dragon eggs and Tuan Tuan that he personally watched the birth. Every time Shuyun brought them to the space, as long as they were handed over to Xiao Jin to take care of, Xiao Jin was happy to accept them. And Shuyun can do her own thing with peace of mind.

As usual, Shuyun went to the orchard to pick a few peaches, cleaned them and squeezed them into juice in a blender, and after feeding the dragon eggs and Tuan Tuan, she handed them over to Xiao Jin.

The two largest peach trees and lychee trees in the space are still the original ones in the space, plus the huge Taibai apricot tree that I got in Shandong later, the fruits they bear are the best quality in the space, and they are also the most common food for children in Shuyun. Don't look at the two little guys who are small, but they are smart and tight, the little mouth can be picky, as long as the good or bad is in the mouth, you will know the way, and the bad one is absolutely not touched.

After arranging the children, Shuyun first went to see the two small golden jujube trees in the purple earth, although they have only been planted for a month, but the two small jujube trees are already one meter high, and their whole bodies are blood-red, which is really like what the big horn said. For jujube trees planted in ordinary places, this can be regarded as growing extremely fast, but for the purple soil of space, it is so slow that it can't be slower. If only ordinary jujube trees could have blossomed and borne fruit. And the one in the greenhouse is even more 'indisputable', although it is moistened by the space water, but it is only a small shoot. It seems that if you want to eat this golden date, you have to wait.

Shuyun harvested all the ripe crops in the space again, stored them, and waited for processing. Then I took the little buns out of the space, and I stayed in the empty house for a long time, and I had to go out to take a picture with everyone. Before leaving, Shuyun instructed Xiao Jin to catch two swordfish in the pocket sea.

waited until I had dinner outside, and with the help of Mama He and Ruxue, I gave the two little ones a beautiful bath. After sending away a bunch of people and waiting. Shuyun took the dragon egg and Tuan Tuan into the space again. Then clean up the two fat saury fish caught by Xiao Jin, take the salt and marinate for a while, and then fry them in olive oil until golden brown, and feed them to the two little ones with boiled rice porridge. They have long been able to eat staple foods, and children often eat fish, especially marine fish, which is especially good for their brain development.

Shuyun's evening work was to sort out and translate the classics in the study, and as the library was about to be built, the work had to be accelerated. In addition, in order to enrich the library's collection of books, Shuyun also asked Kangxi's help. Let a group of scholars of the Hanlin Academy, who have nothing to do, copy all the books and solitary books in the palace and put them in the library.

Moreover, Shuyun re-established contact with her old friend Captain Martin several times, and asked him to help collect new and old books from Western countries. Although Shuyun has collected a lot, books are the crystallization of wisdom, the wealth and treasure of mankind, and there are not too many of them. I believe that after the library is completed, not to mention the scale, the collection of books alone will definitely be second to none in the Qing Dynasty, and it can even surpass the palace.

In mid-September, a few middle-aged and elderly people came to Zhuangzi in simple clothes and carrying old wooden boxes. After they were stopped by the guards at the gate, they indicated that they were looking for the old man Xu Yu of the Royal Academy of Medicine.

There is a rule set by Shuyun in Zhuangzi that anyone who enters and exits must register at the concierge, indicating the time of entry and exit, the things to be done, or the people to be found. Moreover, as long as it is not a troublemaker or a person with other plans, he must be courteous and inform him.

The guards strictly followed the rules and soon invited Old Man Xu. After the two sides met and saluted, a group of people explained their intentions. It turned out that this was some Lang Zhong who traveled to the party, and learned the name of the Royal College of Medicine through the free clinic, especially the surgical science of Western medicine, and wanted to come here to study.

"Old Xu, we are all some bell doctors who walk the streets and alleys, and we can't get much money, I don't know if these bundles of cultivation are enough?" The first doctor, who was nearly fifty years old and had a vicissitudes of life, called Zhao Jiangnan, took out a small bag from his burden with a shy face, and handed it to Old Man Xu in a tightly wrapped piece of broken silver.

The old man didn't take it, but just smiled and stroked the snow-white beard under his chin.

"If it's not enough, we can practice medicine and earn money while learning." Zhao Jiangnan saw that Old Man Xu didn't collect money, and thought that the old man was too little, so he became nervous, and several people behind him also became nervous
