[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Chapter 108

From Yinti's point of view, it is not a bad thing for Nalan Mingzhu to win the title of "Goose Prime Minister" among the people. Although it is a bit undignified, the common people like these "down-to-earth" things, Diange University There are quite a few scholars, Nalan Mingzhu was passed on by word of mouth among the people, and the legendary life of the goose-faced pearl was spread. What decree was promulgated in the future for Mingzhu to do it, and the common people suddenly realized, "Oh, it is the one who raises geese to be the prime minister". Everyone feels kind.

If Mingzhu could take it easy, laugh it off, and be more open-minded, that's all. If he was worried about it, he would take it as a shame, and instead he would be angry with himself.

Based on Yinti's understanding of his mother-in-law's grandfather, he obviously couldn't take it lightly.

On the contrary, it is the silly younger brother, who is quite open-minded. In fact, the younger brother is not stupid. He may be born with special open-mindedness in certain aspects, so he seems a bit "stupid".

Yinti thoughtfully, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and almost drank it down.

"Brother, His Royal Highness said, I'll replace it with goat's milk for you," Bucai's maid carefully put the goat's milk jug beside Yinti, and swiftly took away the wine jug from Yinti's table.

Yinxuan:? ? ?

"What are you doing? I've grown up and can drink. What does it look like to drink goat's milk?" Yinti said with displeasure.

"The emperor will not agree with you drinking now. Your highness said, do you remember the last time you and your highness got drunk? The emperor even punished your highness for it."

Yinti was silent for a moment, and without saying a word, he handed her the wine glass as well, and asked her to change into the quilt used to hold the goat's milk.

Ever since he drank Mongolian milk wine last time, Yinti has tacitly accepted that he is a grown-up man who can already drink. At the moment, someone made a pot for him at the banquet. Let Baocheng find out.

Yinti drank the fragrant goat's milk, and when he tasted the slightly sweet taste, he knew it was made from powdered milk, and it was probably sold from Mongolia!

He also thought of the Mongolian goat milk powder, which Baocheng worked out during his last northern tour.

On Yinreng's side, it was extremely embarrassing to be praised by others. He had experienced such a formal occasion more than once, and every time he was praised by the sycophants for his skills, he would get goosebumps.

[Actually, Xiaomei's embarrassment is also going to happen. 】

After reaching Shengjing, they first went to complete the sacrifice to the ancestors.After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Kangxi summoned General Shengjing and local officials to inspect the troops around Shengjing and make deployments.

Ninggu Pagoda is located in the north of Shengjing. When entering Jilin Province from Shengjing to the north, the team on the east tour went to the station closest to Ninggu Pagoda.

It was the first time that I was so close to Ninggu Pagoda. If I took a sedan chair again at this time, I would be suffering in vain.

The emperor got into the royal carriage, and the concubine also got into the carriage to keep warm. When they arrived in this bitter cold place, the nobles who had no worries about food and drink also put on overcoats, cotton clothes, and animal clothes one after another.

Yinfeng looked out of the carriage curiously, almost even the air was filled with the smell of desolation, the weeds on the side of the road were not cleared and grew as high as a child's arm, and the houses of the people along the way were simple and rough, presumably they lived in People here built it brick by brick for their own living.Houses built for the minimum living requirements are of course not beautiful at all. Looking at it from such a wide range, the houses with uneven levels and scattered arrangement have a different kind of rough feeling.

When a group of people came over, the official road was paved with mud, and the carriage was bumpy when walking on it. There were a lot of thick quilts under Yinrong's little buttocks, but they still hurt from the bumps.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day today, and the torrential rain poured down. The attendant put on the coir raincoat, and the muddy water stuck to his feet, and the water splashed. Facing such a heavy rain, even the best waterproof shoes would not help.

The wheel of the wagon carrying the goods fell into the pit. Yinfeng heard someone riding a horse to report. He opened the window and looked into the distance. He saw several people working hard to push the wagon up.

At this time, the scene of himself watching "Peppa Pig" floated in Yinreng's mind.

Peppa loves to tread water.

Mom said you have to wear shoe covers to play tread water.

Yinfeng was thoughtful: shoe covers and rain boots seem to be made of rubber...

"His Royal Highness, the emperor asked you to put down the windows so that the rain wouldn't wet the inside of the carriage," the young man in the blue clothes of Luan Yiwei rode a horse to the side of Yinrong's carriage, and waited for him to obediently put down the windows. Only then did I leave.

Yinfeng was dumbfounded in the carriage: The official road taken by the emperor is so difficult, let alone other roads?

[The road that the child's father is walking now will be used as a grain transportation road in the future. Did you see a lot of post stations along the way?In the future, these will be important stations for transporting grain from the mainland to the border!Xiaomei marked the station on the map for the children, and you can check it at any time. 】Yinfeng: I remember that a long time ago, Xiaomei once fooled you and said "to get rich, you must first build roads".

【... Xiaomei didn't collect enough information at that time, and made the mistake of talking on paper. 】Yinfeng: So Xiaomei has a good way to build roads?

[Yes, Xiaomei's system stores the ratio of cement mortar and the formula of adding waterproofing agent to the cement! 】"His Royal Highness, I won't be able to reach the next station in a while, why don't you take a nap and rest?"

Jinxiu, who was waiting at the side, asked Yinfeng in a warm voice, and put away the books spread out on the carriage table for him.

"The carriage is bumpy, and reading hurts your eyes. Your Highness can't exhaust yourself."

"I asked you to stay in the carriage to serve, but I saw that you were less talkative than Grandma Xu," Yinfeng said, "It's only been a while since the taciturn Aunt Jinxiu has learned from Grandma Xu."

"Even if His Highness dislikes your servant's wordiness, your servant will still say it," Jinxiu said helplessly, "It is a fact that reading in a carriage hurts your eyes. If Your Highness wants to read, why don't your servant read it for you?"

"If you don't look at it, Gu can't look in."

It was too bumpy to read, and of course it was not suitable for writing. Yinfeng kept holding back until the next station, and then he wrote vigorously. He talked with Xiaomei about the proportion of cement with great interest, and couldn't wait to tinker with it. Something called cement.

This is a magical thing that can condense sand and stone together through a certain ratio. Xiaomei will call it "gel material".

Although there is no advanced technology to make this kind of "gel material", the system can screen out alternative materials "limestone and clay" for Yinreng, and they can be collected around Shengjing, which is rich in resources.

This process is a little complicated. They need to be mixed, fired at high temperature in a shaft kiln, and then ground, and then mixed with sand, stone, and water to make finished cement that can be used to build roads and houses.

The mixing ratio involved, if it were not for Xiaomei's accurate data, Qing's own craftsmen might not be able to develop it in a short time.

After Yinfeng lived in the post station, he sent people to collect limestone and clay.

The posthouses and palaces they lived in were all built by craftsmen sent from the capital. They were much better than ordinary houses, but they were also plain and unpretentious, without too many splendid decorations.Including the attic of the post station, it is clean and free from ostentation and beauty.

While asking people to collect the original and wanted to tinker with the cement formula, Yinreng paid attention to Kangxi again and found that the emperor was recruiting Gao Shiqi to accompany him.

"De Zhu has been away for almost three years, and I don't know what's going on with him." Yin Reng muttered and called, "Yu Zhu, help Gu find out about De Zhu."

Yu Zhu was standing in a daze, and after hearing this, he hurriedly yelled "Hey!", turned around and ran down the attic.

Yinfeng rested his chin and looked at the flow of people coming and going under the attic of the post station. Among them were small officials in common clothes who were hurrying, either seeing them off, carrying firewood, or carrying goods for the post station.

Yuzhu went to inquire about the news from those people. Yinfeng saw that his figure quickly disappeared from sight, and there were heavy soldiers stationed nearby, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling within sight, which was very safe.

It is much colder here in Shengjing than in the south. Yinreng himself is wearing a thick cotton coat, a rabbit wool scarf, and a warm cotton hat, so he doesn’t feel cold. The body resists the cold and looks pitiful.

"Nurse Xu, aren't those people officials of the imperial court? Is the lack of clothes in Shengjing to the point where the little officials are cold?" Yinfeng asked.

"Those were captives captured after Wu Sangui's defeat, and they were transferred to the Shengjing Military Department to do hard work to atone for their sins. People here call them 'Liuren'."

Yinti's voice came from above his head, and he stretched out his hand to lower the wooden window for him.

"Don't be greedy for the cool and stand by the window, if you catch a cold, you will suffer."

"Brother is becoming more and more like a father. You are only two years older than me."

Behind Yinti is Suo'etu who came to look for Yinfeng. Seeing that the elder brother and His Royal Highness are in a harmonious atmosphere, it is difficult for ordinary people to intervene.

His Highness the Crown Prince had no defense against Elder Brother, and he liked Nalan Mingzhu quite a bit. Thinking of this, Suo'etu felt suffocated.

"The third grandpa is here too," Yinfeng waved to Suo'etu with a smile.

Suo'etu had no choice but to come in, and Wen Sheng told Yinfeng: "The emperor said that he will go hunting in Yitongxingwei next."

Yinti laughed and said, "Hunting in Xingwei in the northeast is different from that in Henan. There is a chance to hunt big tigers here."

The tiger is the king of all beasts, and when the emperor hunts a tiger, it has a different symbol. Yinti reminds Yinfeng: "Maybe Khan Ama will bring Baocheng to hunt tigers together."

When he said the word hunting tiger, Xiaomei shivered and walked away from him.

Soon, Yuzhu came back and told Yinfeng cautiously: "The servant heard that Dezhu was appreciated by General Ningguta because he was good at sewing people, and now he is sent to the north with the army."

Yinfeng: "Good at sewing people?"

"It is to sew up the broken arms, legs, and the stomach that was broken by the enemy with needles and threads," Yuzhu said cautiously: "After Dezhu's family came to Ningguta, they all had their own fortunes. The unique skill of reclaiming wasteland with one hand was also appreciated by the superiors and transferred to instruct the team who came to reclaim the wasteland to reclaim the wasteland, and was respected as a gentleman."

"The Dezhu family seemed to be blessed by heaven. After arriving in Ningguta, they adapted to the environment here. His mother also discovered the method of extracting oil from wild fruits and vegetables, which is cheaper than lard. "

Yinfeng thought that the tips he wrote to Dezhu included identifying mountain treasures, land reclamation technology, papermaking, heating pits, pottery making, livestock raising, oil extraction, and clothes sewing. It seems that Dezhu's family wanted to return to Beijing. , Since Laining Ancient Pagoda, he has been trying his best to perform.

"Everything around Ninggu Pagoda is backward. They have the technology in their hands, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing when they get here, and they don't have to worry about not being reused if they have ink in their stomachs." Yinfeng looked forward: "I don't know how well this east tour will be able to do." I can't see Dezhu anymore."

Yu Zhu whispered: "I'm afraid His Highness won't see you."

Suo'etu said: "The north of Shengjing is the land of Longxing. The northernmost part of the land of Longxing is chaotic and unsafe. There are often barbarians from the north who come to burn, kill and loot."

The emperor came to the east to tour the layout, but it was arranged in the rear, and he would not go to the front line.

Yinfeng couldn't understand it: "Gu gave him the recipe for sewing clothes, how could he use his sewing skills to sew people? If this sewing person can be appreciated and sent to the north, then the battle situation in the north should have something to do with it." How anxious."

"The barbarians in the north built a fortress in the northwest of Longxing Land," Suo'etu, as an important minister who has always shared the emperor's worries and solved the border foreign troubles, is very familiar with this.

"The Qing army will not cross the Longxing River to go out to pursue. If there is no cannon in the fortress, I am afraid it will not be able to be bombarded. Every once in a while, those barbarians who wander around will choose the border towns of the Qing Dynasty to burn, kill and loot. When the Qing army came, they all crossed the river and fled back. This happened again and again, constantly disturbing our border people."

"There is still Mongolia on the border."

"The Khalkha Mongols are only superficially obedient to the Qing Dynasty. They are different from Inner Mongolia, and there is no close marriage and harmonious relationship between Inner Mongolia and us." Involving unclear trade exchanges," and Tsarist Russia built a military base in Yaksa, and its intention to meddle in the land of the Qing Dynasty is clearly revealed. "

Yinfeng asked suspiciously: "But Gu also contacted many Mongolian princes during his northern tour with Khan Ama."

Suo'etu: "The contact is with some of the Mongolian tribes. They have a heart for the Qing Dynasty and have common interests with the Qing Dynasty. So this time the emperor came to the East for a tour, intending to subdue the remaining Mongolian tribes, and ordered the Mongolian Chechen Khan to prohibit any cooperation with the Tsarist Russia. trade."

When Suo'etu taught Yinfeng, he didn't shy away from the elder brother. It is true that he is much more arrogant and arrogant than Nalan Mingzhu, the smiling fox, but as long as His Royal Highness does not say anything, Suo'etu can be regarded as Yinti does not exist.

Yinti listened for a while, then found an excuse and left on his own. Not long after he left, he came back and told Yinfeng, "Nalan Xingde is back."

Nalan Xingde had previously been ordered by Kangxi to come to Longxing for inspection, and now he visited various post stations and saw the border situation with his own eyes, so he came to Kangxi for a return order.

Yinfeng: "I haven't seen Rongruo for a long time, I miss him."

Suo'etu: "..."

Not long after, Liang Jiugong came in a hurry, which was in line with Yinfeng's wishes: "His Royal Highness, elder brother, the emperor summoned you to attend the administration."

When Yinfeng arrived, Nalan Xingde was telling Kangxi what he had seen and heard during his visit to the land of Longxing: "Your Majesty, the land of Longxing is separated by the Longxing River, and between the Longxing River and the border wall built by the Qing Dynasty. , there are local Mongolian tribes Daur and Sauron... the other side of the river is Yaksa, which was occupied by Tsarist Russia. The official road in the inner road is difficult to walk, muddy, and it is rainy all around. Even if the road is built, it will be washed away soon. In addition, Aihui is an important border area. The barbarians from the north have invaded this place many times, causing huge losses. I think Therefore, if the Qing Dynasty wants to defend against the northern barbarians, it needs to garrison troops and food in Aihui.”

"It's difficult to transport grain by land, so how about changing to water?" The emperor asked thoughtfully.

Nalan Xingde hesitated and said: "If we change to the waterway, we can go northward from the Songhua and Longxing rivers, but from the Longxing River to Aihui, we still need to travel by land, so I'm afraid we need to build a grain transport ship."

Kangxi tapped his fingers on the book case, and thought deeply: "Then we can only send generals to Aihui to cultivate wasteland."

"What about Baocheng? Baocheng has listened to it for so long, but what do you want to say?"

In private, when Kangxi was dealing with government affairs, he had already habitually asked Yinfeng for his opinion. Now seeing that his two sons had been listening for a long time, he asked Yinfeng who was also in deep thought.

Yinfeng replied without thinking: "Khan Ama, grasp the grain transportation with one hand, and the reclamation with the other hand. You must grasp with both hands, and both hands must be hard! You can't put your eggs in one basket."

Kangxi: "..."

The author has something to say: Kangxi: I ask you about government affairs, what are you talking about? !
