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

Chapter 252

Yinfeng found out that the popular spinning machine in the Qing Dynasty is called the three-spindle pedal spinning wheel, which was passed down from the Yuan Dynasty. According to records, it was invented by Huang Daopo in memory of women's difficulty in spinning, which can spin three yarns at the same time. The improvement of the spinning machine has gone through two dynasties so far, and the technology has already matured.

Yinfeng mentioned that with enough wool, the output of the textile industry can be expanded. If the Academy of Sciences can improve the pedal spinning wheel created by Huang Daopo on the basis of predecessors, it will develop from the original spinning three threads at the same time. To spin more yarns, the spinning output can be increased.

"The development of new spinning industry is also a kind of open source. Mr. Chen always said that the treasury is not enough. In fact, as long as a part of the money is invested in the early stage, it will pay back later."

The premise is that you need to do business with Khalkha Mongolia to obtain their cattle, sheep and horses, wool for weaving, and cattle for farming. Good horses are priceless, and the supply of good horses among the North Korean and Chinese troops is not enough!

No!Supporting the development of Khalkha is a bottomless pit. Khalkha is far away from the capital, and the grassland over there is vast and boundless. The climate is much colder than the capital. Who wants to go?Which courtier didn't stay in the court enough and couldn't think about going to Khalkha?

Chen Tingjing was determined not to be tempted by His Royal Highness to draw big cakes, but the emperor's firm will had already begun to falter!

Yinfeng said: "The national treasury is tight. We need to open source. The early stage of open source is investment, and the investment will be rewarded. How can there be no cost in this world? This suggestion is good for the governance of Mongolia. Since the Qing Dynasty has accepted it, everyone The king’s obedience, then leading the Khalkha tribes to a happy life is also something that the court needs to consider.”

For a while, Jeb Zumba himself became the background board, as if the heated debate in the court had nothing to do with him.Today's court meeting was also announced by the emperor, but I didn't expect the court meeting to be so lively.Even if the prince of the country needs to do something, he has to speak out and persuade the courtiers to agree. However, the emperor was reminded by Mr. Chen and restrained himself first.

He was thinking quietly, observing the turbulent government affairs with clear eyes. Now there are four elder brothers participating in the government affairs.

When he saw the court today, it was as if he saw the slowly rising sun. The old ministers kept fighting, and the young ministers took over later. They were healthy and hot, with a promising future.

Chen Tingjing retorted: "Which of the various projects in the court today does not need to cost a lot of money? It is true that His Highness relies on foreign trade to generate revenue for the treasury, but the development suggestions you put forward are enough to form a long queue at the gate of the treasury."

"The Junggar Khan tribe came to sneak attack during the border negotiations, which fully exposed their wolfish ambitions. His Royal Highness and the Khan Kings saw it with their own eyes, and they must have expected that there will be a big battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar Khan tribe."

Chen Tingjing firmly told Yinreng: Open source is good, but it must be moderately open source, not only open source but also cut expenditure!

Yinfeng said: "Can't these things all be used to prepare for the great war?"

Chen Tingjing said coolly: "Then, do you still want to send translators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Western countries?"

"The research of the institute has always been a big consumption."

"The maintenance of foreign schools is also expensive."

"Not to mention the medical research institute, the national treasury has been giving money to the medical research institute to overcome various diseases, thinking that this is for the advancement of medicine and can prolong people's life."

"The basic medicine you mentioned is more expensive to train doctors. According to the statistics of national casualties of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the average life expectancy of men is about 33, and that of women is about 35. Considering its important influence, this item is indispensable, and my minister also No objection."

Prolonging the life expectancy of men and women in their prime is a good thing for private production. If the base of mature men and women is large and there are more people engaged in work, the vitality of the country will not be less, and the national treasury will not be less.

Chen Tingjing continued to count the major items of the national treasury expenditure one by one. In addition, there are construction and road repairs in various places, as well as disaster prevention and relief that need to be left every year... He asked Yinfeng: "Do you want to organize an import expo? ?”

Yinfeng: "..."

Oh my god!

"The profits from foreign trade are huge, and the huge profits from the jade pendant have also increased the treasury's savings a lot, but it can't hold back more and more big items like flowing water."

The court meeting fell into anxiety for a while, and the courtiers looked at each other, even a hard-core prince like Suo Etu, shed tears of bitterness for Chen Tingjing's difficulties in his heart.

Yinfeng became weak, and asked Kangxi: "Does Nakarka Mongolia still need to be governed?"

Yes, that must be done!

How much management investment is, must shrink, shrink again.

Chen Tingjing openly stood up not to embarrass Zhebu Zumba, but to remind the emperor, "Take it easy when you open your mouth!"

At the same time, it is also reminding the prince, "You can take a good look at it, how much money has been established!"

Kangxi thought deeply: It is a good thing to be able to win over the Mongols. The war is about to start. If Khalkha can be stabilized, they will become the biggest help in the future. This is not a loss.

The prince chicken thief, seeing Khan Amma hesitate, and seeing Mr. Chen's "bloody and tearful accusation", he directly threw the problem to the living Buddha: "Zhebu Zumba, what do you think about this matter?"

Wendur Gegen said with a smile: "The development of the Mongolian tribes depends on the local herdsmen themselves. The Khans have also accumulated a lot of wealth in the past few years. In terms of money, it would be great if they had the support of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, we I am also willing to give the fruits of my labor for a better life."

According to the past, after a tribe surrendered, they could reach out to take advantage of the court for nothing, but now they can't.

Jeb Zumba made a trip to Beijing, took in all the most cutting-edge things in the Qing Dynasty, and concluded that the Qing court had taken too much lead, and it was the right decision to lead the Khan to surrender this time.

He wants more long-term development, and hopes to maintain a good temperature with the Qing court for a long time. In this way, he needs to reassure the court to obtain stability and protection, and also strive for better interests and development prospects for his tribe.If it was just a reward from the emperor, it would only happen overnight. If such rewards became the norm and they enjoyed them without paying anything, they would gradually become enemies over time.In the end, no money can be obtained, the connection between the tribe and the court is weak, and what awaits them is the result of being conquered by force.

"We hope that young people with ambitions will come to Khalkha to help us," Jeb Zumba said. "Although the journey is far away, I can promise that the officials who come will be treated like VIPs in Khalkha."

When Chen Tingjing heard that the national treasury was not for nothing, his expression improved a lot.I also heard that the kings of Khan have accumulated a lot of savings over the years, and their faces that were dark before turned from cloudy to sunny.

As for who to send to support Khalkha Mongols to build schools, medical clinics, etc., most officials in the DPRK and China are unwilling. People in high positions are naturally unwilling to leave the comfortable capital. Only young people with great ambitions and great ambitions People are willing to go to Khalkha to show their talents.

Building a school requires literati, and building a medical center requires imperial physicians.

Kangxi asked in court: "Who is willing to go to Khalkha?"

No one in the court dared to answer.

Jeb Zumba was not surprised by this.

In the end, Kangxi decided to select talented people from among the young people who failed to participate in the court meeting in various ministries.The courtiers of various ministries recommended names to each other, and some people mentioned Ding Sikong, who was quite famous in Jiangsu for a generation.

The Qing court will provide some help, and how to implement the funds given by the Ministry of Households also needs people to find out.When it comes to Dakarka, the use of various expenditures and the contact with the Qing court will all need to be done by civil servants.

So the emperor chose Wang Jian, the servant of the household department, to take charge of the matter.

Wang Jie was still young, nearly eight years younger than Chen Tingjing, and now he is only a servant of the household department. He has been in the Imperial Academy for too long, from a fresh and tender youth to a middle-aged man.

Maybe others don't want to go to Mongolia, but for Wang Jie, it is not necessarily a disaster.

Yinfeng: It's not that he will never go back. With Khan Ama's desire to govern the Mongolian tribe, whoever goes there will definitely be promoted when he comes back.

In the next period of time, the courtiers began to prepare for the New Year, and everyone was full of work.

Before the weather had completely cooled down, the first batch of envoy ships of the Qing Dynasty, carrying nearly twenty envoys, equipped with navy and sailors, crossed the sea one after another after being recommended by foreigners.

On that day, the Fujian port was buzzing with people, tens of thousands of people gathered, and dozens of huge warships sailed towards the endless sea with arrogance and arrogance.

On the other side, escorting the Mongol Khans and Jebu Zumba, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty they had harvested, embarked on the journey northward to return to their hometown.

Yinfeng stayed in the capital, so he had to follow Khan Ama to see them off to the outskirts of the capital.

Facing the Junggar Khan directly, Khalkha is the closest eye to the enemy and the first line of defense of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to allow Khalkha Mongolia to have sufficient defense and supplies during construction, so as not to be isolated and helpless, the emperor sent an imperial decree to Sabsu in Udinsk: once there are signs of invasion by the Junggar Khan, they should immediately support Khalkha Mongol tribes.

At the same time, the Khan King of the Zhasak Khan was killed by the invasion of the Junggar Khan. Kangxi was deeply saddened and issued an imperial decree to designate Wang Ce, the younger brother of the Khan, as the new Zhasak Khan.

After Tuxietuhan and his party left, the emperor brought his courtiers and princes back to the Forbidden City.

Kangxi asked Yinreng: "Does Baocheng feel regretful that he was trapped in the capital instead of seeing the mighty ship sailing?"

He seemed to believe that the prince had a heart that was eager to run away, and he didn't hide how he expected Yinrong to answer him when he spoke out.

Don't you just want a guarantee that you will not leave Beijing without authorization?

Yinfeng curled his lips, rebellious, but he didn't follow Khan Ama's will and said: "It's okay, this batch of missions will return to Daqing in less than two years. With the first batch, there will be the second one." The second batch, the third batch, the fourth, five, six, seven, and eighth batches, there will always be opportunities in the future. I heard that the Dutch shipbuilding standard is very good, and that the French military system is very advanced. I don’t know which one is better than the Eight Banners system. Stronger..."

Kangxi choked and frowned.

"Okay, okay, I know that I can't do everything myself, and the risk of going abroad is huge. Of course, I cherish my own life. Mr. Chen has already said that the Qing Dynasty's treasury is tight, and we have to start preparing to make a lot of money." , Maybe it only takes one year to contact caravans from various countries, and within two years, the Import Expo can be held smoothly.”

"Recently, do more things and entrust the affairs of foreign studies and science to others."

The emperor meaningfully reminded Yinreng, making the little donkey's hair stand on end.

Yinfeng: "Khan Ama intends to give my son a more difficult experience?"

Kangxi was noncommittal, and didn't reveal anything to him, but told him again: Hand over what you have in hand if you can. I'm afraid you won't have time to do it in the next few months.

Yinfeng felt as if he was facing an enemy, but he didn't expect that before the new year, the elder brother's marriage was also completed in haste.

Yinti's marriage has been prepared since before he left for the expedition. According to the prediction, the auspicious date given by Qin Tianjian should be the beginning of spring next year.

Now, Khan Ama ordered the wedding ahead of schedule, and Concubine Hui had no objection to this, and even reminded Yinti not to go to court a few days before the wedding, and spend more time with Fujin at home.

The elder brother's Fujin is the daughter of Ergenjueluo family, Kerkun of the Ministry of Officials.

Back then when Kerkun and Chen Tingjing served as censors together, they seemed to be the second generals, staring at Suo'etu and the prince.Chen Tingjing will impeach Nalan Mingzhu anyway, and Kerkun has been speaking for Nalan Mingzhu from the beginning to the end, and he is the right-hand man of Mingzhu's followers.Now that he has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he has become the elder brother's father-in-law. It seems that the connection between Mingzhu's followers and elder brother has become closer. Only Yinfeng knows that the eldest brother has almost eaten all of Mingzhu's connections. up.

Relying on his animal-like intuition, Yinfeng handed over all the affairs in his hands to his subordinates, and asked Xiaomei, but Xiaomei couldn't tell the reason.

Yinzhi didn't know, so he asked worriedly: "Why did Khan Ama remind the prince's second brother to delegate power to the people below? Could it be that the second brother can't get away later?"

Yinzhen reminded them: "It's not just the prince, I'm afraid you and I will entrust the unfinished business as soon as possible. Maybe we will have the same time as the prince in the future. The ancestors haven't asked their children and grandchildren to pay their respects for a long time. Already, Khan Ama's handling of government affairs has become more and more urgent recently..."

Suddenly, Yinfeng felt that this day had finally come.

The development of medicine can only cure diseases, not life. The life of the Empress Dowager is approaching, and this time it is really going to die.
