Ancient Country iQue(64)

Alan is a tobaccologist! On the bright side, that's true. But in fact, he was also one of the shareholders of the East India Company, although his share was not large, but he traveled to and from the Qing Dynasty, and before that he was mainly engaged in the opium trade. But in the past two years, gradually, there was no market for opium in the Qing Dynasty. Addicts can get free treatment, and the cure rate is basically 99 percent or higher. There is something wrong with that Yicheng, and with the medicine, the more I feel that it is a very enjoyable thing to take a little bit of the ethereal pursuit of a moment, and there are always people who want to buy some secretly. But this profit is no longer enough for Alan to take risks. Because there is one more law in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the law of the Qing Dynasty is violated in the land of the Qing Dynasty, the crime must be punished according to this law. In the Qing Dynasty, even if it was to grow opium poppies, it was a big crime.

But if you have traded with this side, you will know that the market is beyond imagination. How can you be willing to give up such a big market?

It just so happened that through some means, I learned that there was a big official who seemed to be particularly concerned about the affairs of trade, and he looked for this person. I heard that this person is also a nobleman, and that is Yin Jishan.

He never expected that Yin Jishan would introduce him to the old emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom. And this old emperor is not old at all.

Not only is he not old, but he is also young and unreal. Is this what a person in his seventies looks like?

When he knew that he could cure the poison of opium, he felt that the medical skills of the Qing Dynasty were very clever. Now that he sees people in their seventies, they are still in the prime of life, and he is even more convinced of this idea.

He already had a plan in his mind, and he still had to buy and sell drugs. The drugs of the Qing Dynasty were trafficked out and there was a huge amount of profit.

What's even more frightening is that the old emperor and the old queen speak fluent English. There are no restrictions on communication.

I don't know the most surprising thing, the most surprising thing is that in this academy for the past two days, there will be people who greet him everywhere he goes, and it seems that everyone can speak a few words of English. And I don't know, French, Russian, etc., all know it.

He was left here as a guest, and the atmosphere here was very good, completely different from his previous impression of Daqing. What is the etiquette of kneeling, there is no such thing as a bow at all. Today, he wanted to go along and attend a class.

This class was given by the old emperor to the students, and eighty percent of these students were not children of nobles, but were born in poverty.

The fourth master is talking about the history of Britain today, "There were human activities in the British Isles very early...... The Iberians came from mainland Europe to settle in the southeastern part of the island of Great Britain. About 2,500 years ago, the Celts who inhabited western Europe moved into the British Isles, including a tribe called the Britannians, from which the name Britannica may have been derived. The Celts had used iron, the plough had advanced in technology, and had used money. The development of the productive forces led to the gradual differentiation of Celtic society......"

Alan sat down and was taken aback by the remark. He was a British, but he was not aware of the history of these developments.

But then, from the Germanic invasion, to the Normandy conquest, to the Normandy dynasty, the Plantagenet dynasty, etc., all the way to the current Stuart dynasty. From Mary II to Queen Anne, and then to George III, who has not yet reached the age of eighteen...... Although he said it briefly without interruption, he felt a little scared to explain the past and present of a country in one day.

Except that these people know a little more, it's actually okay.

On the third day, he politely offered to visit the college.

All right! The fourth master called Su Ying'e and told Allen that Su Ying'e was a descendant of the royal family, a noble Baylor, and the grandson of Emperor Kangxi.

I didn't slack off.

Su Ying'er also followed Liu San'er to learn foreign dialect when she was fine, but it was limited to simple communication, and it would not work if she had more. So, Liu San'er followed and acted as a translator.

As soon as Alan heard the introduction, he looked at Liu San'er in surprise, he traded with the Qing Dynasty, and knew that these people had slaves, and the names of these people were very arbitrary. So, he asked: "Mr. Liu is a servant?" "He also knows some Chinese, which is about the same as the number of foreign dialects spoken by Su Ying. Gesturing can barely be understood. If you really don't understand, you need to translate.

Eying frowned: "He is a doctor and an official." ”

Alan apologized, "Name...... The names of the people I come into contact with have their origins......"

"The third is the origin. The Tao Te Ching says that one life begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Su Ying'er smiled and explained, "This is a very profound sentence. ”

Alan didn't understand, but he seemed to be very powerful, he apologized like Liu San'er, Liu San'er accepted, and added, "I'll give you a copy when I go back, this book, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see its way all my life." ”

Alan expressed his deep gratitude and followed Su Ying'er all the way to the Confucian Academy.

Ji Yun was coming out of the Confucian Academy, and he came to find a few gentlemen to polish the two articles, but he met such a group of three people at the beginning. He greeted with a smile, and then asked Su Ying'er, "Why did you bring people here?" "There's really nothing to see in the Confucian Academy. It's not as good as an art academy. At least there is a corridor of calligraphy and painting works in the art academy, and there are various styles of them. On a regular basis, they also hold an auction within the academy, and they have fun with themselves.

Su Ying said, "Alan is more interested in the Tao Te Ching, so he brought it over to take a look." ”

Is that thing in the Tao Te Ching something that you can see by walking around? Stuff him with a book and go back to the page, first read all the words and then talk about it, dear!

Ji Yun also has a lot of eyes, and when he looks at Su Ying's expression, he knows a little bit what it means. I'm here to fool people. So he came to the heart and told people about this Tao Te Ching: "The meaning of the text is profound, inclusive and broad, and it is the king of all scriptures." ”

So powerful?

Not really! "Self-cultivation, governing the country, using soldiers, and maintaining health, all inclusive!"

"Wellness?" What Allen cares about is this, "The old saint and the old queen are not old, are they good at health?" ”

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, but he still said unconsciously and firmly: "Yes!" This is the health preservation technique in the Tao Te Ching. ”

Alan felt that he had gained something, especially when he wanted to make medicines, and he paid special attention to their prescriptions and medical skills, and he felt that he had gained a lot from this trip.

Then Ji Yun talked all the way to the art academy.

There is a long corridor in the art academy with various calligraphy and paintings. Ink painting Allen knew that the more ancient it was, the more sought after by the literati, and if he bribed the officials of the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely not be able to find this kind of thing. Therefore, it makes sense for them to learn this way. But at the end of the corridor, I saw a few more oil paintings.

This is?

As I was watching, the students of the art academy came back from outside, all with painting clips. Alan glanced at it, and it was all sketches of people. These students drew a sketch for each of the students who took the re-examination, and they wanted to look back. Is it the same as the person who came to the exam before? Beware of cheating. I'll finish the rough drawing and come back to fix the details.

Alan said, "You all learn to sketch......

Ji Yun said: "Compared with oil painting, it is less appreciative, but more practical. ”

Many people from the yamen are now in contact with these people, and they want to ask them to help them draw sketches, which will be beneficial to the pursuit of the murderers. But they're also very busy right now, and they basically don't even have holidays. Because Banzai saw the benefits of having a picture, he asked for a sketch portrait to be added to each official. This is a huge project, and I don't know when it will be completed here. If it weren't for every official to pay for the sketches, they would really not be happy to do it, the point is that they don't have time to get what they like, and it's a bit annoying to make money.

Alan didn't understand what Ji Yun said too much, so he didn't deserve to talk about it, so he was busy. Su Ying continued to move forward.

There is the sound of abacus everywhere in the math academy, and those who really learn particularly well and do research are not here, but those who are here are used in the direction of use. The Sixteenth Master is in charge of this, in order to prepare for the preparation of Daqing Bank at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, and reserve available talents.

This year, the number of people enrolled in the academy is more, and many bookkeepers have come to try it. Don't underestimate the bookkeeping industry, you can plan to count a skill. Every ten years, the number of houses compares with each other, and the top three are rewarded. That is certain, the more times you get the rankings, the more you will be used in the future when you score errands. So here everyone slacks off.

Alan heard the man who counted the numbers keep reading, nine nine seven two three five eight plus one hundred nine three eight five five plus three three nine two eight seven three...... The people who reported the number did not stop, and the people who drew the abacus beads below did not stop, and the rows sat there, and the abacus beads were pulling the horns, and no one turned to look at them, but the people who read the numbers had already changed twice. He stood on the side for an hour and watched.

He had seen an abacus, but it was not unusual. Strangely, he had never seen such a big abacus. With so many people sitting on the side, this voice reminded him of the sound of the bookkeeper plucking beads when he settled accounts with the merchants of the Qing Dynasty. Whenever this time is his mood is happy.

He went to the institute with such a mood, and there were people here who were discussing around farm tools, and there were people who were tinkering with bottles and cans.

"What's that?" Alan was curious.

Actually, these students are making sugar. Make sugar from beets.

I knew I was going to visit today, so Su Ying had already greeted this side. This was arranged by the old sage, and he told himself, don't look at the Westerners' ships, but in some things, they are very backward. It's like sugar!

The manufacture of sugar can be traced back to the end of the Yin Shang dynasty. At that time, our ancestors knew that they used grains to make sweet foods. In the poetry collection of the Western Zhou Dynasty "Book of Songs", there is a poem "Zhou Yuan is full of flesh, violet is like a syrup", the meaning of the poem is that in the era of the ancient father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people moved west to Zhou Yuan, that is, Qishan, Shaanxi. The land here is very fertile, and even the wild vegetables are as sweet as syrup. From here, we can know that at least before the Western Zhou Dynasty, our ancestors already knew about this kind of thing.

The so-called starch sugar is a kind of starch sugar made from grains, which is now generally called maltose, also known as starch sugar. Historical facts prove that long before the advent of sucrose, as a sweet food, the consumption of caramel was already very common.

The study of sugar in Western countries is recorded to have begun in the middle of the 16th century, when the German chemist A. Maglaver first isolated monosaccharides from sugar beets in 1747, but it was not taken seriously.

It is now the seventeenth year of Qianlong, that is, in 1752.

At this point in time, there is no sugar in the West!

Their sweet foods are all natural, like honey, fruits, etc., but there is no sugar!

Lin Yutong once complained, saying that Westerners like sweets, is it because it is too late to know about such things as sugar. China's sugar manufacturing industry only later introduced foreign production lines, and even if each company relies on manual labor, it can make such a thing as sugar.

Therefore, Lin Yutong took out Xiao Niang, who likes to make dim sum in the girls' academy, alone. Take her with you to use the earthen oven and make a lot of desserts. Alan found that their bread tasted very nostalgic to the food he was familiar with.

Sugar is such a thing as a fascinating thing.

Of course, India was also one of the earliest sugar-producing countries, but now the East India Company has not caused a war in India, and its power is not as great as expected, and many things are probably not coming to their senses.

Now is the time.

After lunch, Alan actually drank a cup of sweetened coffee.

In the afternoon, Alan didn't want to turn around, so he went to find the fourth master who was drying rice in the rice field.

In fact, the people in the industrial institute and the agricultural institute are all here today, isn't this using a new machine to remove seeds?

Alan only glanced at it, he didn't dare to be interested in it. His purpose is only something that will bring him windfall profits - medicine and sugar.

The fourth master entertained him in the big tree, and after a while, Lin Yutong came with Xiao Niang with tea and pastries.

The tea is black tea. Since the Queen Anne of England fell in love with black tea, tea has become popular in the West, especially black tea. Lin Yutong used a full set of glassware from his own glass factory today, with good transparency and exquisite shape. The black tea is brewed, milk and sugar are added, and it is handed to Alan.

Take a sip of fragrant milk tea and pair it with a fluffy cake, it's perfect.

"Your Majesty, I think we can cooperate......"

The fourth master knew what he wanted, so he smiled, "Of course! You get what you want, I get what I want, that's the best cooperation......"

"What do you need?" Alan was a little anxious, "Whatever you need, except for arms, everything else is fine." ”

"What you can offer, I need a list." The fourth master looked at him.

Alan frowned, "Actually, this time, I want to make tobacco." ”

Tobacco is not a big smoke, this is not foreign, there is also domestic. A lot of people are still smoking with pipes. Smoking is harmful to health, but it is not tolerated.

Imported tobacco is expensive, and soon there will be many businessmen who will learn to make cigarettes, and then there will be cigarettes for the public.

It can't be avoided.

Seeing that the fourth master didn't speak, Alan hurriedly said, "Of course, there are many more...... Like cotton! ”

India's cotton was monopolized by the East India Company, and it still went to the port from Guangzhou and entered the market of the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Yutong added tea to the other party and interrupted: "How does it taste?" ”

If you want to talk, take sincerity, if you don't have sincerity, eat and drink, and then get out.

Allen gritted his teeth while thanking Lin Yutong and said, "The fleet model of the British Empire can be sent to the capital ...... later."

"Parts!"

What the?

"Parts." The fourth master looked at each other, "If you can, a lot of business can be discussed with you alone." ”

For example?

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I heard that you have a fabric called lace......

It was used for embellishment in court costumes.

"Believe me, no woman can resist the temptation of lace." She looked at the other party, "I heard that French perfumes are also good, and we are all interested in these things......"

Lace is not yet popular in Europe, it is a handmade product. In Europe, there is also a bit of a taste of seductiveness. The production is not much, and the price is okay. But if the Qing royal family looked at the purchase, his heart was hot, even if he was unwilling to trade gold and silver, and only bartered goods, he would benefit greatly from it.

And Lin Yutong and Si Ye need this buffer time, because the ship division of the Qing Dynasty is still in the preparatory stage, which will take a process, ten years, or even twenty years. In these years, it is necessary to ensure that the Qing Dynasty can profit from the trade, and also ensure that the other party can obtain benefits. If you can make money well, you won't be in a hurry to move your heart.

Before Qianlong showed his strength to the Mongolian prince, the fourth master had to send this person away. There are some things that are not suitable for taking out too early.

And before this guy left, Lin Yutong took out all the embroidery girls in the palace, and stepped up dozens of sets of clothes, which were finally completed. The clothes were all European styles, the kind of baroque style, ornate, grandiose, exaggerated. The narrow waist and wide skirt, although there is no large neckline, but the intricate embellishments of the dense turns are enough to make the skirt look very luxurious.

She made two kinds of dresses, one color or gaudy or elegant, but as long as you look at it, the silk is brilliant, not ordinary. There is another one, which is a little more ordinary and the color is more elegant.

She He Hewan changed her clothes, and asked several of Hewan's girls to change into other clothes, and when Alan saw it, she was obviously stunned for a moment, "Oh my God......"

It's beautiful!

Silk has always been regarded as a luxury. The clothes of the nobles are generally good to have silk. He rarely saw a noblewoman make silk into clothes.

This is what Lin Yutong wants, because it is not so easy to sell a lot of low-grade silk. And the same is true in the West, where the class division of their cash is also very clear. So far, in the big clear bright yellow, how others wear it, it doesn't matter. Europe was different, the aristocracy was brightly colored, and expensive silk was their exclusive product. But how many nobles are there? How much can I consume in a year?

All she had to do was to order inferior silk as much as possible and go into the homes of ordinary people.

The clothes are complicated and have the benefits of being complicated, and the skirt is stacked layer by layer, so old and tall. The fabric used for their clothes is enough for Lin Yutong to make a few clothes. But the cloth seller still likes their complexity.

She did a product pitch of her own.

Then I talked to Allen and told a story about selling shoes that everyone knew in later generations, going to sell shoes in places where they didn't wear shoes, cultivating everyone's habit of wearing shoes, and the business was done.

Moreover, is Chinese silk just satin? There are more variety.

"We don't just have the silk, Luo, silk and satin you said, but also yarn, silk, silk, spinning, silk, crepe, kudzu, wool, velvet, brocade and so on. Among them: yarn, Luo, silk, spinning, silk, silk, kudzu, etc. are plain weave fabrics, brocade and satin are more fat and bright, wool and velvet are more abundant, yarn and silk are relatively light and thin. ”

Lin Yutong took Allen to look at the large row of fabrics, and then looked at the accessories from clothes to headdresses to shoes, it can be said that these materials have been used all over again.

Alan felt that this old queen was easier to deal with than the old emperor, and he was not sure whether the thing he wanted would work or not. Rather than this, he would rather choose to cooperate with the old queen.

So he asked Lin Yutong, "Your Majesty, what do you want?" ”

Lin Yutong pointed to the various trees and grasses in the garden, "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like these things." I heard that there was a kind of tree......" she raised her voice and asked someone to take a pen and paper, and drew a rubber tree, "this kind of tree, have you seen it?" ”

Of course! Of course I did.

"What do you want this for?" Alan was puzzled.

Rubber has not yet been discovered.

Lin Yutong smiled slightly, "I like it, I want to build a manor in Fujian, if you have it, I can buy it." I want as many of these trees, as many saplings as I want. It doesn't matter if you exchange it for sugar or medicine, you can do it. ”

Sure enough, there is no woman who does not like extravagance.

Especially the women of the royal family.

It's really not hard to find, and you don't have to go far to get it. This thing is easy to trade, and it is guaranteed to be shipped alive when it arrives in the place.

There's no way, there's something like rubber grass, like dandelions. But not every dandelion can be extracted from rubber. Xinjiang has it, but it is used on a large scale, and it is natural rubber at this stage. It's not realistic to rely on rubber grass.

Lin Yutong knows very well how widely rubber will be used in the future, so not to mention trading sugar, he will not hesitate to exchange the technology of sugar production to the other party. Anyway, in a few years, people will be able to make their own sugar.

Alan agreed very happily, he was happy to please Lin Yutong, so that he could do business in Daqing, "If you have anything else to like, I will be happy to serve you." ”

"Your wine is also very good, why can't you trade it?" Lin Yutong is like an extravagant woman, she is very good at eating, drinking and having fun, "If there are other seeds, whether it is flower seeds or vegetable seeds, as long as there are them, help me bring some, not too much, I will collect and play by myself." ”

Good! No problem at all.

This guy feels that he has gained a huge amount and left, and there are many things that he can't do by himself, and he has to discuss.

If you return, it will be fast, and it is estimated that it will be a year later.

When Alan left, Qianlong came over. Look at the things you brought in.

"Clocks ......and watches," Qianlong looked at it, "This can be imitated." ”

"Yes! The bell is easy to imitate. "As long as you want to make smaller ones," pocket watches or watches, it takes a lot of skill. ”

Qianlong specially recruited the people from the workshop, handed over the clocks and watches to them, and asked them to imitate them.

Then Qianlong cast his eyes on the hot air balloon, his eyes were complicated. This thing is also used by foreigners, and it is also used like Huang Ama, this thing is sometimes really a weapon for killing. He really felt a sense of urgency in his heart this time.

As for the celestial model, he just glanced at it. That thing Emperor Ama put a set in the academy, which is much more sophisticated than this one.

The fourth princess, who came to see the strangeness, took Lin Yutong's hand and asked in a low voice, "This is the earth...... Is the earth round? ”

Lin Yutong smiled: "When we talk about the round sky, this circle and square are not about shapes. The I Ching says that Kun has straight, square, and righteous sayings, which can be seen that Fang here refers to a quality, a flat, upright quality. In the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", there is also the saying that "the sky is round and the place is round, and the head is round and the feet are square to respond". The essential source of the round heaven and earth is derived from the evolution of the innate eight trigrams, and the movement of the heavens and the earth, that is, the map of the round heaven and the earth. Among them, the hexagram surrounded by the outside represents the law of the movement of the heavens, while the hexagram arranged in the middle of the square represents the law of the operation of the earth. Among them, the heaven is the Lord, the earth is the secondary, the sky is the yang, and the earth is the yin. The two sensed each other and generated all things in heaven and earth...... I'll tell you about this later. ”

Therefore, the so-called heaven is round and the place is not misunderstood many times. I think that in scientific cognition, it is believed that the sky is round and the earth is square.

It is also because most of the people who entered the academy were people who had some understanding of the scriptures, so the fourth master put up such a celestial instrument, and no one raised any objections. On the contrary, they are all looking forward to the planetarium that has just started.

The fourth princess thought it was very interesting, Lin Yutong gave her the binoculars, "Find your Mr. Mei to play, this thing is given to her." ”

When the child's footsteps were far away, only the voice of the fourth master talking to Qianlong remained: "...... Now in India, one city is occupied, and then there will be more. If you don't teach Ma Li, the next Qing Dynasty will be another Indian ......"

Qianlong didn't speak, his brows furrowed very tightly, "Are you okay?" Can't each of them live their own lives in their own places? I have to go through the risk and go to the ocean......"

Oh, yes! It has been known since ancient times that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a while. Except for those who can't get out, who wants to go that far? In particular, I can't say what will happen to you. Is it profitable? Where you can't make money, run so far.

See! This is what is engraved in the bones.

The fourth master said: "Zheng He can go to the West, but in the Qing Dynasty, we don't have anyone who can go to the West?" ”

Not really! I just don't think it's necessary. We're really good now.

The fourth master put the globe in the palm of his hand, and then turned around, "Look, how much does Daqing occupy on it?" And how big the area, how many countries, how many people. It doesn't matter if you're the head of the house at home, you have to have a say on the ball. You can put it in the palm of my hand, when you move your fingers, it has to turn the day when the Qing Dynasty is stable. ”

No! I don't want that. Aside from trade and war preparedness, he didn't feel the need to deal with each other.

The surrounding small countries all have the Qing Dynasty as their suzerain, and this is enough.

But you have forgotten the truth of long-distance friendship and close attack.

Qianlong didn't approve of the fourth master's words, and felt that the fourth master's steps were big. But where did he understand the fourth master's anxiety. As a result, both sides were not satisfied.

Lin Yutong came out to mediate, and also said a few sets of Western-style skirts for Qianlong to bring, "Bring it back to the queen." "I talked about talking to Alan about the deal.

Qianlong really didn't bother with this matter anymore, and this matter could only be handled in a compromise way. That is, he should stabilize the court situation and stabilize the court situation, Huang Ama If you want to do business with foreigners, you can do business, anyway, there is a lot of silver. He was more than happy to skip the topic and asked Lin Yutong, "What do you want that kind of tree for?" If they really want to, the subject countries are afraid that they will have it, and they will be asked to pay tribute. ”

It's not easy for you to say.

From planting to transplanting to transporting live saplings, how much manpower, material and financial resources do you have to consume? Pay tribute at every turn, the price is great, don't people go against it?

Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, she just followed his question and said, "It's to extract something called rubber." Rubber grass is fine, but it's hard to find......"

"You draw a pattern, and I'll get it for you when I get back."

This thing is in Xinjiang, where do you find it?

But if you can get it, the key is to plant trees and tap rubber in the future, and the rubber factory will have to be from him. Let him know how to use it.

She drew a pattern and handed it to Qianlong, "That's it, you can ask someone to bring the seeds back." ”

But what do you want to do with this?

Qianlong was puzzled.

Get! The fourth master asked someone to push out a bicycle with wooden wheels. This thing doesn't have rubber tires, so it's certainly not comfortable to ride. But on such a smooth road as the academy, it can be ridden. The guards that Dehai put next to the fourth master would ride, and he rode to Qianlong. Of course, this thing is faster than walking, and it also saves fodder than cattle and horses.

Qianlong's mind turned very fast, "If you get a seat in the back, isn't it the same ......as a carriage?"

Yes!

"If the carriage is loaded with that thing, it won't be bumpy."

It's better to be able to bump.

Oooh oh! Then that's the good stuff.

Qianlong agreed without a word, "Don't worry, Huang Eniang, this thing is no matter how difficult it is to find, my son will also find it for you." ”

Looking for a new wheel for you?

As long as he can enjoy it, he is very active.

The fourth master couldn't stand it anymore, "Don't toss." Eucommia, send more eucommia to ......"

Eucommia ulmoides leaves can be proposed to rubber, but the technology and equipment are not good, and the quality of the proposed is not guaranteed. However, it is worth it to make Qianlong pay attention to it and promote the planting of rubber trees in suitable places for planting rubber.

Because the fourth master was busy with this matter, the fourth master of the military parade between Qianlong and the Mongolian prince did not show up. It was Qianlong's glorious moment, and the fourth master didn't go over, which made people uncomfortable.

In short, the roar of artillery and fire could be heard throughout the capital.

And Qianlong continued for several days, and the heroic laughter went wherever he went. It can be felt inside and outside the palace, and this emperor is now more and more energetic.

And because of this military exercise, the DPRK and China have become slightly harmonious. Because the old school has to admit that the new school does have something unique. These things can't be conjured up by the old learning. Not only will it not be conjured, but there are even many people who whisper in private, saying that it is a sign of the destruction of the country. The white-bearded old Hanlin walked inside while chattering at the gate of the palace, and he didn't know who heard it, so he quickly helped stuff it into the carriage and pulled it away, this old man really dared to die here. That really the emperor off.

The top and bottom were harmonious, so Qianlong felt that in fact, there should be a military parade every year. A few years in the capital, next year to the south of the Yangtze River, the year after tomorrow to the northwest, let's take turns. If I am a sailor in the future, I can come to the sea a few times.

But I don't know that Hongyang is distressed, every time this one is punched out, it is all silver, silver, silver, and white silver. Originally, I prepared a hundred rounds and it was over, but the rise of my own four brothers playing, with a big wave of my hand - release!

So, he didn't eat for two days.

I still want to open it again every year, and I also run it in various places. Hehehe! Do you know that this kind of thing doesn't cost less to ship than to build one?

Hongli didn't refute, but praised Hongli's high idea, "Defense, this has to be sent." What you say doesn't add much of a burden. But, fourth brother, this thing can't be bumped. The width of the road is different in each place, and the minister thought, why not take this opportunity to repair the imperial road? ”

His reasons are also very sufficient, and the galloping road cultivated by Qin Shi Huang is still in use today.

Qin Chi Dao began to spread throughout the country from Xianyang, the most important of which is the nine roads leading to the big cities of the world. For the first time, this project has connected all parts of the country, and economic and cultural exchanges have become smoother. Most of the time the gallop was used by the military and nobles, and trees were planted on both sides and guarded by officials. At its widest point, it was sixty meters and could drive ten carriages side by side. These roads were the main arterial roads during the Tang and Song dynasties.

It's more like the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the road construction plan at that time was so good. Now, on the basis of the predecessors, it can be consolidated and used as the royal road. The southeast, northwest, and northwest should be linked. Where you go, your artillery can follow you. All roads, extending in all directions, are thousands of years later, which is also your merit!

Hongday's bitter mouth, really. With the money and thinking about firing guns everywhere to show off their might, can we repair the road? Fix a little bit is a little bit, right?

Qianlong thought it was good to build roads, but he didn't want to pay for money. His idea is that you will preside over the cultivation of the government at all levels. The silver is deducted from taxes.

That's what he thought, and that's what he consulted with several cabinets.

Wherever the road passes, he shall be exempted from taxation.

Liu Tongxun's forehead suddenly began to jump again, and he felt that the days that had only been quiet for a few days had to come to an end. This time we had to quarrel again. Because the emperor's idea didn't work at all.

The situation varies from place to place, the amount of taxes is different, and the level of competence of officials is uneven. In this case, what if the information is concealed? What if you loot the people's fat and people's ointment? What if I raise funds from merchants?

Everyone is easy to bully, that is, the emperor can't make mistakes. Moreover, it is extremely easy to cause corruption and bribery.

So, resolutely no.

The most important reason is that there is no plan and no standard for each cultivator, and it is a trivial matter to embezzle money, so I am afraid that it will be bad every year.

Only within the cabinet, there are differences of opinion on the two. As soon as Liu Tongxun returned home from the palace, he wrote a letter to his son and asked his entourage to send him to the academy. And this letter was placed in front of the fourth master almost after little turnover.

In this matter, Qianlong did not discuss it with his emperor Ama.

The fourth master shook his head angrily, and then felt ridiculous, "Honghui is worried that he has no chance to start, and he has sent such an opportunity." ”

As soon as the words fell, Honghui came in, and when he saw that there was no one, he shouted directly: "Amma!" The road administration yamen will be able to set up a team this year......"

Look! The fourth master spread his hands towards Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong couldn't help laughing: Qianlong will have to be played by himself sooner or later!
