Li Yan smiled narrowly at the fourth master, and then cleared his throat.

"This England, it's not the empire that never sets at this time, but it's going to be soon, people are in the industrial revolution, and they will soon surpass the Qing Dynasty."

The fourth master couldn't help but ask at this time: "More than the Qing Dynasty?" They're not a big country. ”

Li Yan glanced at the fourth master: "When this industrial revolution is completed, the war will not look at human and financial resources, but at the musket, which is now the fire system, master, don't look at us now leading others, if we close off the country again, this will be backward, master, if you fall behind, you will be beaten." ”

What kind of character is the fourth master, he can naturally hear the meaning of Li Yan's words, if he is backward, he will be beaten, but doesn't it mean that in the future, the Qing Dynasty will have to pay tribute to powerful countries like those countries?

Even if someone beats you, you can't fight back, if you are an emperor, you can't even protect your own country, what kind of son of heaven, the fourth master's face is getting colder and colder, Li Yan looked at it, and then continued.

"But we are not lagging behind now, even if we are backward for a while, it is only for a while, our Great Celestial Empire is the Great Celestial Empire, people's development is called development, we are called rejuvenation, what does this mean, this shows that it is a good development in the history of the Chinese nation."

The fourth master chuckled: "That's the same." "I don't know that no dynasty can maintain its prosperity all the time, but if you really listen to it, you still feel uncomfortable.

Li Yan's eyes rolled: "Master, we can actually send someone to England to have a look, or we can try to do business with them, with the government, and with the people." ”

You must know that in England at this time, the aristocracy represents the civil forces, after all, if the general civil forces do not have the support of these nobles, it is not easy to do, not to mention, and it is not easy to do.

The fourth master pondered for a moment: "This is a good idea. ”

Li Yan squinted his eyes with a smile when he heard this, he had never said this to the fourth master, but since he had already said it, he naturally had an idea or something.

However, the fourth master has a difference, and the little thing has never talked about these things in the court with him, but now it makes her feel up, which shows that it is very important.

The fourth master then picked up Li Yan and went directly to the bed, Li Yan looked shy, the fourth master smiled evilly, and the two of them had a spring supper all night.

The mission came to Beijing and was definitely a lively event.

The vast majority of people are afraid that it will be the first time they will see a foreigner in their lives. After all, Beijing is not Guangzhou, Fujian, and it is not a port. In the mission, the merchant brought a lot of foreign gadgets, as small as a kaleidoscope and a small mirror. It's as big as a table clock, and it's a glass jar.

However, this bell is by no means the kind they gave to the emperor, it costs a lot of money, and they can't afford it and don't dare to make it.

The things brought by the merchants are still being transported to the capital one after another, and it is said that they have brought more than a dozen boatloads of good things. Ordinary people can't think about anything else, at most buy a Western painting, but it's rare to see foreigners every day, isn't it?

This made those businessmen make a small profit, and these things naturally came to report from the Ministry of Household and Industry, and the fourth master listened to these reports, thinking about what Li Yan said, and decided to open the sea.

I really don't want to see the Qing Dynasty so backward in a hundred years.

In the evening, a banquet was held for Prince Werther.

It was held on Jingshan, in order to show Prince Witte the beauty of the Qing Dynasty and the national strength.

Li Yan thought about it for a while, and still went to change his clothes, but it was not so serious, after all, it was just an ordinary banquet.

Li Yan changed into a goose yellow flag suit, embroidered with ginkgo biloba leaves, which was extremely exquisite. Because Li Yan doesn't like tuanhua, she doesn't embroider tuanhua on her clothes except for auspicious clothes. However, the women in the capital who were affected did not embroider the flowers.

Clothes that are not embroidered are either embroidered on the hem, collar, and cuffs, or embroidered all over the body, and Li Yan chose to embroider all over the body today. Because the silk threads selected for the ginkgo biloba leaves are also yellow-green, like slightly yellowing leaves in early autumn, it is not abrupt at all, and it looks very suitable.

Because of this dress, she specially chose the winding jewelry of silver silk jasper given by the fourth master back then, which happened to be ginkgo biloba leaves, which was very suitable to wear. Paired with a few jade hairpins and a pair of jade leaf earrings, the body is refreshing and refreshing, and it still loses the atmosphere.

This is also Li Yan's style. She didn't like to look like an old lady who dressed herself up in her thirties.

How many women here don't wear bright clothes after thirty, but Li Yan is not, as long as her face and figure allow, she will wear them until she is eighty years old!

When Li Yan came out, he saw that the fourth master had also changed into a regular clothes, and the silver-white robe was embroidered with silver thread dragon patterns.

"Jiaojiao is so good-looking, but this jewelry, why did she wear the old one?" The fourth master still remembers this jewelry, so she is still Gege, right? How do you wear that jewelry?

"It's so good-looking, you see how much this jewelry matches with clothes." Li Yan turned around to show the fourth master.

The fourth master nodded and said, "It's good, let's go." "What I want is to go back and make a few more sets of such jewelry for her, after all, she is a queen, and it is not appropriate to wear the jewelry when she was a gege.

But others don't think so, they just think that Niangniang's jewelry is too beautiful, and the style is novel, and you have to do it like Niangniang when you go back.

Li Yan was satisfied and was baptized by everyone's eyes.

There was barbecue for dinner, and Li Yan only ate a few bites. Although she wanted to eat, she didn't think so. Let's take care of the rules.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your clothes are so beautiful!" After three rounds of drinking, Prince Witte couldn't help but praise him.

He has been talked about a lot recently, and he knows that the queen and the emperor are very affectionate, so he can't stare at the queen? Well, it's actually disrespectful to stare at the Queen. It's just that he can't understand the rules of the Qing Dynasty, so he can only tell him like this.

"Thank you, Prince, he looks good today." Li Yan said with a smile. Indeed, Prince Witt is dressed in black, clinging to his figure, blonde and blue-eyed, and he is also a handsome guy.

Then Prince Werther saw that the atmosphere was very good, and he made his own request.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have not taken a wife, can I ask to marry a princess?" Prince Witt looked at the fourth master with a look of jealousy and longing.

The fourth master was furious for a moment.

England came to the Qing Dynasty, but it was just a trade and trade. Why did the Qing Dynasty marry the princess far away from England?

The fourth master himself doesn't like this kind of thing the most, the princess and his relatives seem to be incompetent.

Seeing that the fourth master is about to get angry, can Li Yan still feel it? She hurriedly said: "Is it your own intention for Prince Witte to marry the princess, or is it the intention of the English royal family?" Li Yan felt that he meant it.

As soon as the fourth master heard this, his heart was better. Presumably, this was the whim of the prince himself. Not the meaning of the English royal family.

At this time, Earl Albert was also busy standing up and speaking, after all, he was much older than Prince Witt, and he could not make Daqing dissatisfied with the British royal family.

The current England can't be compared with the Qing Dynasty.

What he said was all in English, and when translated, it probably meant that this was Prince Werther's own meaning, and he had never married a wife, hoping to marry a beautiful Oriental woman, and ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to forgive him.

This is interesting, I hope to marry a beautiful oriental woman, this is not to say that I want a princess.

In this way, everyone can accept it. After all, there are few princesses born to the fourth master, and now there is no one who can get out of the cabinet at all, but the fourth master did not go to Mongolia to marry his daughter, how could he give it to Yingli? That's a long way to the ocean, and I won't see it for a lifetime.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." After all, Prince Witte is a member of the royal family, and no matter how heartless he is, he will not fail to understand the situation at this time.

"The prince has come from afar, and there is no need to care about these customs, if there is a suitable woman, I will grant the prince his wish." The fourth master raised his glass and said.

This matter is even revealed. When I mention it later, if there is no suitable sentence, I will just give it up.

However, some people were reluctant to ask him to expose it.

After returning to the palace, this matter spread in the palace in a low-key manner.

But in the end, it was because the fourth master didn't have a princess of age, so there was no panic in his heart.

However, Qi Guifei's daughter Ergege is not too young, and Qi Guifei is up and down in her heart, so she went to Yuhua Palace to find Li Yan.

Li Yan was here, looking at Qi Guifei crying with a pear blossom with rain, and he was very helpless.

"You can rest assured, the emperor naturally won't have this idea, you look at Da Gege, you can't have to go to your relatives if you can't do it, not to mention whether the fourth master is willing or not, there are many people in the clan."

Qi Guifei's thoughts stopped, so she thanked Li Yan and went back.

At the beginning of the month, the northwest won a great victory.

The fourth master was very happy and rewarded the fourteenth master with a lot of things. It is also called for him to officially build a palace in the northwest.

The Fourteenth Master became the first royal prince of the Qing Dynasty to garrison the frontier with heavy troops.

There was also a letter from the official that the military power should be withdrawn, but the fourth master did not accept it. However, the Fourteenth Master personally sent someone to send back the talisman to show his loyalty.

The fourth master is inevitably a little unhappy, fourteen, this is not believing in himself?

After Li Yan learned about it, he persuaded the fourth master: "Why should you be unhappy, the fourteenth uncle is a good intention." ”

The fourth master sighed and said, "He doesn't believe me. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe Uncle Fourteen is just trying to shut up the officials? Besides, as soon as you are happy, you have rewarded the fourteenth uncle with a hereditary succession, which is not much in the Qing Dynasty, right? The Fourteenth Master is certainly loyal, but what about in the future? Even Hongchun is good, but what about in the future? Uncle Fourteen, this is for the Qing Dynasty. ”

A few generations later, that vein still has a heavy army, and it is inevitable that there is no other thought.

"That's it, I just don't want to, the emperor just went and broke up with the fourteenth life." The fourth master said softly.

Li Yan can't say that you are a long-lived master after all, and your younger brothers are close to you. How can there be so closeness?

"I won't give birth, I call them back every year, after all, the capital is my hometown."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, what did Jiaojiao do today?" There are some things that the fourth master doesn't want to say to her, saying that she doesn't understand, but she cares about her mind so clearly, and the fourth master feels sorry for her.
