Chapter 558 Development

Qin Mubai believed Qianlong's words, in fact, it is estimated that Qianlong never thought that He Shen's corrupt family property could actually exceed the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, although it is said that the treasury of the Qing Dynasty was because Qianlong built the Old Summer Palace on a large scale, expanded the Forbidden City, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River himself, and was tax-free for six years, etc., in fact, it consumed a lot.

But even so, a person's family property exceeded the treasury at that time, which is still very terrifying, especially in that era, the GDP of the Qing Dynasty still accounted for a very high proportion of the world, which can be said to be a very terrifying proportion.

You must know that Qianlong's period was the peak period of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that Kangxi laid the foundation for Qianlong, and then the Qing Dynasty's economy, population, etc. reached their peak during Qianlong's period.

How luxurious the Old Summer Palace is, although we modern people can't see it, but we can see the luxury of the Old Summer Palace from what happened in later generations, and such a luxurious Old Summer Palace was built by Qianlong, and Qianlong also expanded the Forbidden City and rebuilt the Forbidden City, which are huge consumption.

There are also six times he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the cost consumed is also an astronomical amount, and the ancient emperor went out on a long trip, and the situation was much more than that of the richest man in modern times.

Therefore, it can also be seen from this that Qianlong probably didn't think that He Shen could be corrupt so much, but it can also be seen from these aspects that the economy of Qianlong's era did develop to the peak, otherwise if you change to a poor era, He Shen can't be so greedy even if he wants to be greedy.

This is not counting the money saved by private merchants, you know, many large families in that era had the habit of burying silver, so you can see that there was wealth at that time.

"I believe you, but a lot of people say you did it on purpose. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Why?" Qianlong was stunned for a moment.

"Heshen has become to that point, without your support and pampering, it will definitely be inseparable. Qin Mubai thought for a while and said.

"Yes, he also has talents, but sometimes I turn a blind eye. Qianlong pondered for a moment, and it was not wrong to say so.

"That's why a lot of people say you did it on purpose. Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Think about it, at that time, in the entire officialdom, those who were opposed to He Shen, the Qing officials must not have much money in their hands, but other people must be corrupt, rather than letting these people scatter corruption is not easy to solve, it is better to directly engage in a big corruption, at least, this big greedy money is still under the control of the Qing Dynasty, right." ”

"Well, that's right. Qianlong choked for a moment, although this was not his intention, but he always felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement, of course, it was also wrong, how could the emperor encourage corruption, wouldn't that corrupt the atmosphere of officialdom? It should be a severe crackdown.

"However, Mr. Qin, what do you think can be done to make the country's national strength progress? It is similar to the current situation, the overall progress. Qianlong pointed to the bustling capital in front of him and asked very sincerely.

"How to develop, I am actually an ordinary person, I can't say, but to say a general law, that is, to manage a country needs politicians, but to make a country progress, what is needed is craftsmen, scientists, the so-called scientists are those who specialize in the study of new things, and have a certain strong interest in new things, and can write new theories for these new things. ”

"Of course, maybe these doctrines have violated some of the ideas of Confucianism, but it is these people who are the foundation of a country's progress, I can say this, politicians you can train in batches, but scientists you can't train in batches, a country can do without anyone, and it can't do without top scientists. ”

"Of course, the point is that these scientists have to have a certain right to speak, otherwise, any politicians can solve the lives of these scientists and so on, then they are of little use. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, but even the Emperor can't guarantee their rights, not at all, but I can't ignore what you said...... The collective opinion of politicians. Qianlong immediately nodded, and said as he walked forward, "Then what do you think, or rather, how does your world deal with the identities of these people?"

"Trust me, don't trust the opinions of politicians, especially not when it comes to some national affairs. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Why do you say that?" Qianlong was a little surprised.

"In this way, I saw a small line of poems before, of course, it can't be on the table, and it's not a masterpiece, but you taste it. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Oh, this one does. Qianlong's eyes lit up, Qianlong is a person who loves to write poetry, of course, the level may be average.

"Men are on women, love is unlimited, women are on men, enchanting beings, biting words apart, the sound is endless, opening dry roads, and tired cattle. Qin Mubai said solemnly.

"Poof......" After Qin Mubai finished speaking, Qianlong was directly choked by his saliva, and the whole person almost fell to the ground, even if there is no modern basic knowledge, Qianlong is also an old driver, and now with modern basic knowledge, Qin Mubai's meaning in this sentence, Qianlong understands it in seconds.

But you tell me, this is a little line of poetry? Why are you kidding me? This is poetry? Aren't you insulting the word poetry? Do you write poetry like this? Rhyme and so on, you ...... Qianlong couldn't laugh or cry.

"This can't be considered poetry, right?" Qianlong said a little speechlessly.

"It looks like Brother Hongli understands in seconds. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"This ...... Unless it's the chief eunuch next to me, otherwise, even a man should understand it in seconds, right? Even if it's a eunuch next to me, Mr. Qin, you said it so bluntly, how could you not understand, but...... I don't understand, what is this dry road?" Qianlong immediately leaned over with interest and asked in a low voice.

Qin Mubai: "...... I obviously didn't mean that, okay?

"This is not important, the important thing is that these ministers, those ministers under you, can probably tell you openly that this is the principle of governing the country. Qin Mubai said quickly.

Qianlong looked confused, with a face full of expressions, don't tease me, the great principle of governing the country? Could it be that the Chinese we learn is different?

"Isn't it? You see that this man is superior to the female, which means that the man is superior to the female, and it is no problem to say this in your dynasty, right? Men are inferior to women, everyone coexists in harmony, this is naturally infinite love, there is no big problem in the country, everyone is happy, this woman is superior to men, this woman is inferior to men, this should be regarded as a demon to confuse the public, and there are many charms, right? Tang Zhiwu is charming, few men will think that is normal, right?" Qin Mubai said seriously.

Qianlong: "......"

Also, you see that the words are separated, one mouth, one hand, this is a mouth-to-mouth conversation, which means that everyone speaks freely, which is naturally endless. This is the opening of the dry road, tired of ploughing cattle, this arid river has been opened, that is naturally more fertile land and countless lots, and it is normal to be tired of ploughing cattle. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Qianlong felt that the whole person was not good, how could this be explained? Why did he know that this was not the case, but when he thought about it carefully, this special explanation had no sense of disobedience, and it was very reasonable.

"Why don't you go back and ask your minister? You tell them, it's a very serious sentence, but you can't figure it out, let them explain it to you, and see what they say." Qin Mubai said strangely.

Qianlong was a little speechless: "You mean, for these ministers, for some small things, their words can turn black into white?"

"Although Zhao Gao is a precedent for referring to a deer as a horse, it is not an absolute precedent. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders, and for the discipline of those politicians, Qin Mubai said that only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without them.

"Okay, I understand, then, Mr. Qin, if what you said is not understood according to your explanation, then understand it according to the idea of a normal person, what does this dry road mean?" Qianlong coughed dryly, and immediately humbly asked for advice.

Qin Mubai: "......" I said this for a long time, did I mean this? I'm not driving, I'm teaching you a truth, okay? What are you doing here?

However, looking at Qianlong's expression of humbly seeking advice, Qin Mubai said, it seems that you are not playing very well, Qin Mubai thought about it, and immediately lowered his voice and leaned into Qianlong's ear to explain to him.

"This can also be done?!" Qianlong was immediately shocked.

"Absolutely. Qin Mubai immediately said quickly.

"Then Mr. Qin, how does that feel? cough...... How does it compare to the waterway?" Qianlong was a little embarrassed.

Qin Mubai: "...... "Can I tell you that I only have theory, not practice?

"Well, you can go back and try it yourself. Qin Mubai said quickly, he wouldn't explain it to this old driver.

"Uh, okay. Qianlong immediately nodded to indicate that he knew, and he thought that Qin Mubai was a little embarrassed.

"Then Mr. Qin, tell me, how does your world deal with these two different people?" Qianlong immediately asked.

"Actually, it's simple, it's not enough to give a separate treatment, for example, you can set up a different name, for example, just like an official, from the ninth grade to the first grade, you can set up to become a ninth-level craftsman, to a first-class craftsman or even a special craftsman, the first-level craftsman is treated with the same treatment as the first-class master, and the status is also comparable, anyway, in a word, in addition to the real power, they have the treatment that the first-class master should have. ”

"In this case, as long as you carry it out, I believe that it will be a great stimulus for those who study science and technology. Of course, how to determine this level and what kind of technology to make is up to you. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders and said.
