Chapter 112
Kangxi listened, his smile froze, the more he listened, the more something was wrong.
"Baocheng has any misunderstanding of the national strength of my Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty is not poor or weak. On the contrary, today's Qing Dynasty is more prosperous than any dynasty in the past. Even the neighboring countries have to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. A vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Today, the Qing Dynasty has widespread potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. No one will starve to death in the wilderness due to lack of food. The army of the Qing Dynasty is particularly strong. It has experienced many battles and has artillery, cavalry, Spearman, the big ship I took you on earlier has a technology that even the missionaries from the distant seas of the feudal clan are amazed at."
Kangxi interrupted what Yinfeng said, he also wanted to be a patient and good father, but if he didn't interrupt him, he would talk on and on until tomorrow morning.
"It is true that there are still internal and external troubles in the government, but those problems that will arise in every dynasty and generation will be solved by me and the courtiers. I will bring you in touch with these so that you can be prepared for danger in times of peace and know how to make progress. Now it seems that It backfired and frightened you instead?"
Yinreng asked back: "But Daqinghai has been banned for a long time, and it doesn't communicate with others. How can we make progress if we don't communicate?"
"The reason why the Qing Dynasty established the sea ban, you should have known it after participating in politics for so long," Kangxi said: "For the Qing Dynasty, the loss of the sea ban is the least, and the return is the greatest."
"However, Tsarist Russia repeatedly invaded the land of the Qing Dynasty. They occupied Nerchinsk, then greedily moved eastward from Nerchinsk, occupied the city of Yaksa, and then crossed the Longxing River. They were not afraid of the Qing Dynasty. "
"So this time we have to deter them."
"You can't always see the worrying side. You also have to look at the strength of the Qing Dynasty. These strengths are enough to smooth out the worries. It just needs people to do it and it takes time. This time I will lead the east tour. You come to open your eyes, take part in the hunting, take a warship, inspect the rule along the way, and you have seen it all."
When the emperor spoke, he was quite proud. Since he was in power at the age of 14 and has been in power for fifteen years, he has worked hard day and night to govern the Qing Dynasty. The situation in the Qing Dynasty is much better now than it was 15 years ago.
Yinfeng put the diary on his lap, and listened to Kangxi recalling the past, sorting out the various difficulties he had encountered since taking office, and how he solved them.It hurts only when there is a comparison. It turns out that Khan Ama's life was even worse 15 years ago than it is now.
"Khan Ama, is there enough money for the household department? Does the road construction need a lot of money?"
Kangxi was stuck, and said helplessly: "Of course the treasury's wealth is enough, and the war consumes the most money. Now that I have made a decision to go to war with Tsarist Russia, there will be no gaps in preparation."
"Is it just to repair the road to supply the army?"
"In other places, there is an annual expenditure on road construction. It is a big project to use the 'cement' that you have worked on on commercial roads and official roads. Cement is a good thing, but how to build roads depends on how to build roads. How to make good use of this cement is a matter for the Ministry of Industry.”
Seeing that Kangxi was in a good mood, Yinreng tentatively said, "Haven't Ama Khan considered building a few more roads so that the south, east, and north can be connected in all directions? This way, there will be money, and the merchants can pay more taxes to the country if they make money."
Kangxi glanced at him: "Since ancient times, the ancestors of this land have ruled the country by 'rewarding farming and suppressing merchants'. Have you forgotten all those scriptures?"
Of course Yinfeng didn't forget those things, but he was more realistic than the words in the books.
Kangxi said: "The Qing Dynasty was based on agriculture. If they all became merchants, who would farm the land?"
Yinfeng muttered quietly: "So I hope that the common people will shut their doors and farm the land honestly and don't make trouble!"
Kangxi frowned, and said in a bad tone: "What did you say?"
"Your minister is saying that governing a country is like dredging a river, blocking it is worse than dredging it."
The emperor was silent for a moment, and answered Yinreng with two words: "Naive!"
Maybe because he saw that Yinfeng was still not convinced, Kangxi pointed Yinfeng's forehead with his finger: "I know, you have many new things in your mind taught by fairy beasts."
"You have to learn to control them, instead of being confused by them. You can do these things when you are eight years old now. When you grow up in the future, I am afraid that you will do more. Before you do these things, you have to remember a word' The king is in front of the country'. If not, then everything you have now will be subverted, and all the efforts you have made will become a castle in the air that will collapse at any time and will retreat."
The cold appearance of the emperor when he said this made Yinreng feel strange, and a shudder of fear rose in his heart.
"Khan Ama, what my son is doing is for the benefit of the country and the people."
Kangxi chuckled, that smile was rather cold, completely different from the domineering or capricious feeling that Khan Ama gave Yinreng.
"Then you can add another item when you think about it, whether it is beneficial to you."
The emperor looked at the child and made Yinfeng show quail-like eyes, very satisfied with his hard-working education.The dignity of the emperor and the prestige of a strict father, Kangxi felt that he had a good grasp of it.
Don't look at this child's boldness, he is still young and can't hide things in his heart.
"Knowing that fear is a good thing, fear can restrain behavior, what is really terrible is to have no scruples."
Kangxi was not angry. When he said this, he kept looking directly at Yinreng. He hoped that what he said today would be imprinted in Yinreng's mind: "It's nothing more than the cement that is being tinkered with now. Please ask the Tai Hospital to open it." The medical school has also done a good job in training doctors. It is a good thing to have the idea of governing the country, but when you grow up and one day do bigger actions, I hope Baocheng will still remember the conversation between father and son today."
There was no other child who would make him spend so much time pondering and worrying. If there were more children, Kangxi would be exhausted.Baocheng is different from other princes, unique, how much effort has been devoted to this precious treasure, Kangxi thought: I am afraid that there is no emperor who has the patience to teach children like me.
"I'm only afraid that Baocheng knows too much and thinks too far ahead, and people are like a wild horse, moving forward to what you think is the right goal. But he forgot that there may be a deep abyss under his feet, and there may also be a mountain of swords and blood. So I'll keep an eye on you and stop you before you make a mistake." So, he was going to be the rein, tie up the colt that was trying to run away, and pull him to a safe path.
Yinfeng was dumbfounded: Yesterday Gu was Khan Ama's baby, but today he is a wild horse.
[Little cabbage, ground yellow,...]
Xiaomei's song is especially suitable for the occasion, fully expressing Yinreng's inner misery and desolation. At this time, I am afraid that only a cup of sweet goat milk can save his fragile heart broken by Khan Ama.
Yinfeng wrote this passage in his diary again: Khan Ama is really a bad educator. Doesn't he know that the more he warns, the easier it is to arouse the child's rebellious psychology?
Educating children is like regulating a river, blocking it is worse than dredging it.
But I don’t blame him alone. If Khan Ama is a weed that grows in the crevices of rocks, then Gu is the future flower bud that grows from a honey pot.Besides, when Gu wants to do big things in the future, it is not necessary to get the consent of Khan Ama, he also said that he will stare at Gu.So before making a mistake, isn't there Khan Ama to clean up...
"His Royal Highness, the servant heard that because Longxingjiang City was damaged by foreign enemies before, many people were injured and killed. De Zhu, who was appreciated by General Ning Guta, went to Longxingjiang City with Lu Taiyi, who was sent here."
Yu Zhu whispered to Yinfeng: "De Zhu is here as your Highness's man, and he did not embarrass you. People say that he is courageous and not afraid of blood. He has a good reputation in Ninggu Pagoda and is very popular with Imperial Physician Lu. Take it seriously."
Yinfeng asked: "Gu wants to contact Dezhu, what can Yuzhu do?"
Yu Zhu smiled and said: "De Zhu is a person who went out of His Highness's palace, and he has a good reputation here. If His Highness wants to contact him, he can send someone to go."
"Okay, it's up to you to handle this matter. Help Gu send a letter to De Zhu. It would be even better if he could get a reply."
Since cement appeared, it has been put into production.Shengjing is rich in products, and the ore and soil are inexhaustible. The emperor ordered a return trip and ordered people to build another route with cement for the emperor's trip. the way.
The road built separately uses cement, and strives to be flat and straight through, connecting the post stations with the shortest distance.
The emperor issued an order to the Minister of the Interior: "After I return to Beijing, these roads will be used by the court's fast horses."
Nan Huairen's "Tartar Travel Notes": In order for the emperor to travel smoothly along the way, he devoted a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the road. The emperor ordered people to temporarily build a road for his return journey, and the concubines, princes and nobles he brought along with him Go this way... (1)
After the houses in Longxingjiang City were burned down, there was a smell of scorched earth everywhere. Because the emperor sent General Sabusu to Aihui to garrison troops, the guards of the Qing Dynasty went north from Longxingjiang City and built a line of defense on the north side of the city. , Grain and grass were transported from the rear, and this destroyed city soon regained some popularity in the post-disaster reconstruction.
De Zhu still remembered that when he was on the road with Lu Taiyi, he sewed up many people who had been hacked by Beiman. He woke up every day with the smell of scorched earth. The north side of the mountain was piled up into a hill, and the leader who escorted them led the people to be cremated together and buried in the ground.
There is now a tombstone field outside the north city gate, some of which have names on them, which are engraved for their relatives by the people who survived in the city, and some tombstones have no names on them, just a small bare stone slab, which may belong to a family They all died in this disaster.
The doctors brought by him and Doctor Lu usually wear face towels that cover their mouths and noses. Although the water-soaked face towels are cold and uncomfortable, they can resist the invasion of scorched earth evil spirits and prevent lung disease.
When Yinfeng sent someone to deliver the letter, Dezhu was struggling to communicate with a young Mongolian man whose stomach had been disemboweled but survived.
There are many Mongolians living in the Longxing River, and there are also tribes that understand Chinese. What is more difficult is that even if the same Mongolian herdsmen, the language differences between different tribes are also very large.
The Mongolian girl who came to translate for him and Lu Taiyi was named Zuli, a local Daur ethnicity. Because of her trade with the customs all year round, she had contact with many Han people. This Mongolian girl’s family knew some Chinese.Her father, Beller, was also the local deputy leader of the U'er tribe, and had always had friendship with General Sabusu.
The rapid revival of Longxingjiang City is inseparable from the joint efforts of these local tribesmen.
When Zu Li first met De Zhu, she was dumbfounded and praised De Zhu bluntly: "You are so beautiful, as beautiful as a pearl."
De Zhu was expressionless, and performed a blood-stitched technique live.
Seeing that he was cold and cold, Zu Li didn't seem to be easy to get along with, and she didn't change her face when she did such a terrible thing, she was so frightened that she booed and dared not speak.
The Mongolian youth couldn’t communicate after waking up, and she was responsible for the translation. She told Dezhu in broken Chinese: “He is a Buryat Mongolian, and he speaks a different language from ours. The Yate Mongols all escaped from the other side of the Longxing River. Their pasture should have been on the other side of the river, where there was a beautiful lake with rich water and soil. In my grandfather’s generation, everyone envied Bria There are unique and rich destinations, but those are all occupied by the enemy."
De Zhu nodded, he was powerless to deal with important national affairs, but he did his best to save people within his power.
In the past few years since he came to the frontier, the handsome and delicate boy has gone through hardships. The obedience and cowardice he learned while making coats are useless in this place where people can die at any time. To survive here, only perseverance and tenacity, blood and blood Death is the main theme in the treatment process. If you read too much, you will take it lightly. If you are not calm enough and shake your hands, the person who is sewing may die in the next moment.
In the past, De Zhu didn't even dare to think that three years could force him to become what he is now.
When the guard who delivered the letter to the prince arrived, De Zhu was taking out a Mongolian youth with a knife in his hand. The young man was muttering something, and Zu Li said, "He's saying thank you."
"Thank me for what I do, and thank him for his own desire to survive. An ordinary person would have died long ago with such a serious injury."
Zu Li: "When the enemy came, he killed two northern barbarians with his brute force."
De Zhu said indifferently: "It's considered his fate. If Beiman stared at his head and chopped off his abdomen instead of his abdomen, then even if the gods came, they would not be able to save him."
Zu Li stopped talking. Whenever she wanted to talk to him, she would always be ruthlessly rejected. This person was as inaccessible as a snow mountain. If she got close, he would be cold to death.
The guard shouted outside the temporary medical shed: "Doctor De Zhu, I have your letter!"
"As I said, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a doctor, I just know how to sew people." I also want to thank His Royal Highness for giving him the kit.
Here in Ninggu Pagoda, doctors are a rare talent. Because of the scarcity, people here respect doctors who can save lives. This kind of experience is something that I couldn't experience when I was a slave in the capital.
Perhaps, the only thing that has been learned in the palace and can be used is the ability to observe words and emotions, and to guess people's hearts.
De Zhu took the letter and saw a cat painted on the envelope, the fur color was exactly the same as Tom's cat.
Zu Li found that the cold person actually laughed after receiving the letter. She thought Doctor De Zhu was made of ice and had no human feelings at all!
Yinfeng: Dezhu Qi.
I haven't seen my old friend for three spring and autumn, and I miss him very much.Gu followed Khan Ama to the east to Shengjing, and heard that you were appreciated and sent to Longxingjiang City. He didn't have a chance to meet you, so he communicated with you by letter.
It's good to be alone, don't read it.
Tom was fine, but he was fat, and for his health Orp had to change his food.
I heard that you were appreciated for being good at sewing people, which surprised Gu Gu. The only kits that Gu gave you are the method of cutting a cow and the method of embroidery. You can apply it to people and make a name for yourself here. It can be seen The ability is excellent, so lonely is also relieved.The world is so big that if you have technology, you can live and work everywhere.The writers in the capital have jointly written a book on the experience of dissecting the human body, which may be of great benefit to you. I have ordered someone to go to the capital to pick up the book, and it will be delivered to you in a short time.
The sender will wait for you for three days, waiting for your reply.
Tom is waiting for you, come on.
"Doctor De Zhu, another patient has come. He broke his leg while building a house!"
Zu Li carefully opened the curtain and went to look at Dezhu, and found that his eyes were rosy, with a look of surprise on his face.
De Zhu looked cold: "Go out."
Waiting for no one to bother me, I just started to write a reply letter.
His Highness said that you can't settle down wherever you have technology in your hands, but you don't know that your home is where your heart is.
The author has something to say:
Note (1) supplement in the text:
The routes traveled by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty on their east tours were all determined before the tours.The imperial court sent travel routes to various places, and all localities had to protect the roads that the emperor would travel on.Moreover, when the emperor returned from his east tour, another road had to be built in various places for the emperor to return.Nan Huairen recorded this situation in detail in "Tartar Travel Notes": "The road is well protected, and it is as smooth as a threshing field on sunny days. In order to maintain the road, before the emperor and concubines pass by, why not Anyone is allowed to pass by, and guards will be sent along the way....Moreover, another road must be built on the way home. On both sides of the road, embroidered dragon curtains are hung one after another, very similar to our curtains."
