With a rumbling thunder, another year of spring ploughing arrived.

After a little bit of expansion over the years. Now the cultivated area of the entire Xiangxuehai has exceeded 10,000 acres. At this time, it is the season of winter wheat to turn green, a full 5,000 acres, boundless verdant, accompanied by gusts of breeze, at a glance immediately make people's hearts feel relieved, as if all the troubles are also gone.

Of the remaining 5,000 acres, 2,000 acres are paddy fields, which are planted with rice every year. And there are four types of rice that are cultivated. One is the common hybrid rice that has been spatially improved. One is the imperial rice cultivated by Kangxi in the Fengze Garden in Zhongnanhai, which is characterized by reddish color, long rice grains, fragrant color and taste, very refreshing, and early maturity. It is an extremely excellent rice variety. Kangxi was very proud of his achievement, not only did he often show off in front of Shuyun, but also the royal rice he grew with his own hands when he ate in the palace.

There are also two types of Thai fragrant rice and Japanese sushi rice. It is also excellent rice with excellent taste. Among them, the Japanese sushi rice is very large, full and round, and bright in color, although the taste is slightly lighter, but it is very chewy.

At this time, the farmers were humming the song "On the Field of Hope" while planting rice. Now, under the auspices of Shuyun, the farmers of Xiangxuehai have given up planting seedlings and switched to throwing seedlings with more labor-saving and convenient ones. And after seeing the actual effect, this technique is rapidly expanding around the capital center, and is gradually being adopted by more and more people.

There are also 1,000 acres of fixed flower fields planted with roses and lavender. It is specially used to supply a variety of essential oils, perfumes, cosmetics and toiletries in the Zhuangzi Aromatherapy House.

The flower field and aromatherapy house were originally taken care of by Ruxue. After Ruxue married into the Nalan family. According to the original promise, Shuyun gave Ruxue forty percent of the shares as a dowry. Then it was changed to Ding Deyan to be in charge. Now Deyan was sent by Shuyun to Tuan Tuan, and the matter here was handed over to Wei to take over.

Wei, who was supposed to become Concubine Kangxi, changed the established fate. Now I stay in Xiangxuehai safely, most of the time I stay in school to teach the children, and occasionally I go out for a walk, and I live a very leisurely life. With the help of Shuyun, the Wei family has been stripped of his slave status and changed to a yellow flag coat, which is recorded in Shuyun's name. can be regarded as having a serious identity. Now that I have another errand, I am busier, but I am living a more fulfilling and confident life.

The last 2,000 acres of land are planted with different crops every year, basically a variety of vegetables, beans and spices. However, this year, 1,000 acres will be vacated to plant optimized cotton seeds.

Cotton was also planted for the first time in Zhuangzi. And there are almost no people who have ever grown cotton here in the capital. Although not far from Hebei, there are many people who plant it. But as the so-called difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles away. Shuyun was still faintly worried. Therefore, in terms of preparation, Shuyun did not dare to be careless in the slightest. First of all, a lot of effort has been put into the selection of planters, and the selected people must not only have experience. You have to be recognized as a good farmer.

It is also very careful in the selection of seeds, seedlings, and treatment of disease and insect resistance. In the selection and treatment of land. I also consulted many people. After that, Shuyun compiled the various precautions summarized into a book. Give it to Qian Afu and let him explain it carefully to the dealers. And he commanded him to be overseen at all times. After that, Shuyun reviewed it carefully, and only relieved herself after not finding any loopholes.

In addition, on the several mountains around Zhuangzi, most of the various fruit trees that have been planted for a long time have also reached the flowering stage, and patches of white, pink, or red flowers occupy the slopes. The breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrant and pleasant aromas, and also dresses the fragrant snow sea extremely beautifully.

At this time, Tian Wenjing's negotiations in Macao were also coming to an end. Although the Portuguese organized Britain, France and other countries, they jointly launched countless fierce offensives against several negotiators led by Tian Wenjing. But helplessly, Tian Wenjing did not give in, and his attitude was very tough. Moreover, the foreigners are the weak party after all at this time, and they have a handle in the hands of the Qing court. Although he repeatedly delayed time, he didn't come up with any good way to get to the end, so he had to obediently bow his head and agree to the conditions of the court.

In the end, an agreement was reached: all foreigners in Macao would withdraw from Macao, and Macao would be brought under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty.

Second, with the permission of the Qing Dynasty, people from Portuguese, British, French, Spanish and other countries could come to Macao to conduct trade activities, but they only had the right of temporary residence and no permanent residency.

3. Portuguese, British, French, Spanish, and other countries were not allowed to send opium to the Qing Dynasty in any form or for any reason, and those who violated the prohibition were to be severely punished in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, and the government of that country was to compensate the Qing Dynasty for 300 times the price of the amount of opium seized.

Fourth, all prisoners of war seized by the Qing Dynasty can be redeemed regardless of nationality, 135 taels for the poor, 300 taels for soldiers, and 400 taels for officials, with an increase of 150 taels for each level of official position, 5,000 taels of gold for the highest official position, and 300 taels of ransom silver for the title on the original basis, and 200 taels for each higher level of title.

Fifth, the party that provoked the war this time, Portugal, compensated the Qing State for the war losses of 200,000 taels of silver.

Sixth, the Qing Dynasty promised that Portugal, Britain, France, Spain, and other countries would occupy no less than 50 percent of the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade share every year.

7. All indemnities and ransom must be paid in full within fifteen days.

There are seven of them, and almost every one of them is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. Even the sixth article seems to be a big sweet jujube given after a few slaps from foreigners. But there are also pitfalls. The clause only mentions that no less than 50 percent of the quota will be given to foreigners, but it does not specify how much each country will give. It's up to them to negotiate. However, when the benefits are unevenly distributed, it is most likely to cause contradictions. Under Kangxi's instructions, Tian Wenjing unceremoniously dug a big pit for foreigners. And even if the foreigners knew that this was a pit, they couldn't help but jump down obediently. This is called a soldier who drives people without a fight. Lao Kang's hand is really beautiful.

This treaty, originally known as the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Macao, had a profound impact on later generations and created a precedent in the history of Chinese diplomacy. It has provided a model and set an example for countless future generations.

And Tian Wenjing is also famous all over the world. Of course, it is also mixed. Not only to Tian Wenjing himself, but also to the imperial court. Some people appreciate, and naturally some people criticize. It is said that the imperial court punished foreigners, demonstrating the prestige of the country, not only did not work the people and lose money, but also benefited, and there are those who have done this beautifully.

It is said that the dignified Qing State ignores the state of etiquette, the demeanor of a great country, values wealth over righteousness, and there are many people who oppress the small country.

But who took advantage of it knows who is the way. Although Kangxi loves fame, he is also very unhappy when he listens to the criticism, and feels that these people are short-sighted. However, I am still very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations. Then, at Shuyun's prompting, Kangxi used the newspaper to do a lot of positive publicity about this incident, and instructed Nalan Rongruo to organize people to make waves of strong rebuttals to those criticisms.

Soon, the imperial court gained the upper hand in public opinion. At the same time, more and more people have gradually changed their concepts.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi (1688). Kangxi did something that made Shuyun very happy - forever forbidding women to be buried.

The cause of this incident is that the Ministry of Rites asked the martyr Jing of Shanxi Province. Kangxi said: The husband died and was martyred, and the number of days was forbidden. Today, I see the capital and the provinces, and the martyrs are still many. Human life is of the utmost importance, and the martyrdom is moratory. The husband who dies can only be like this, why should he die for this! Death is an abnormal thing. If this makes the example even greater, what is the benefit of the martyrs? Since then, it has been forbidden for women to die from their husbands to the king, and even among the common people.

Although some old pedants have some complaints about this. But which family doesn't have a daughter, as long as it is not lacking in heart, even if it is married, no one is willing to look at the daughter who has worked hard to raise her, not only to bear the pain of having children, but also to carefully serve her husband and in-laws, and her husband has to be martyred when she dies. Although it can make a good reputation, no matter how good the reputation is, it is not as important as human life. Besides, women are not human beings? How can there be such a truth in the world?

But people are terrible, and there is great righteousness in front of them, because of this, many people in the Ming Dynasty dare not have any objections to the funeral. But secretly people still hate this very much. Kangxi's will can be regarded as speaking the voice of the people, and it is a policy that is quite popular with the people.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather began to gradually get hotter. Kangxi also began to prepare for the battle of Zungar.

And Shuyun here is about to be angry with the two little monsters, Dumpling and Tangyuan.

It is said that Tuan Tuan has been so tired that she has lost a lot of weight in order to train her women's army these days. Shuyun saw it in her eyes, and she was distressed. But I can't help much, so I can only prepare some nutritious food for Tuan Tuan every day, so that I can nourish and recuperate.

In this way, it is inevitable that the two younger ones will be neglected. The minions didn't dare to rely too much on the two little ancestors. And in front of the two little monsters, Yuanyuan and Bubble, who speak a little well, one is addicted to medical skills all day long, and the other is not bad if he is naughty together.

The two naughty buns seized the opportunity now, and somehow bought off Fang Fang and Zhengzheng's two sons, and they also learned to turn the tiger away from the mountain, and the minions were turned around one by one by their instructions, but these two little bastards took the opportunity to ride it and run away
