The anchor stopped talking here and said that he would go out for a while and draw lucky viewers when he came back.

She spoke very carefully, and she also provided various photos, portraits, and more professional paper materials while speaking, and she spent a lot of time on it.

Before she came back, Ying Zheng also picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

What happened tonight was too frightening.

I thought that the emperor's court in later generations would be around for a long time, but I didn't expect that the villain would be even more so.

Foreign merchants used this kind of thing to poison the people of Qing Dynasty, and everyone from princes and nobles to common people became infected. What a huge benefit it would be to them.

Even the foreigners who did not sell these things in later generations felt that they were doing the right thing. It can be seen that the people who sold these things were engaged in a very unscrupulous business.

Frowning, Ying Zheng's dislike for the businessman rose again.

Businessmen, indeed, still need to be regulated.

At this time, Kangxi hurriedly asked someone to grind ink, and wrote an imperial edict in his own hand. He was so angry that he sent someone to Shengjing to pass it on to Dai Zi.

Thinking about various situations after the Qing Dynasty, he was so angry that he almost passed away. He could no longer waste time and idle existing talents.

Thinking about his previous appreciation and exile, Kangxi also had a headache.

Seeing a bunch of sons below who were at least superficially filial, he nodded to Yinsu and told him to ride to Shengjing with the imperial edict after the live broadcast tonight.

At this moment, the eldest son has not yet been replaced, and the eighth son is not praised as highly by the ministers. Kangxi does not have such a grudge against him.

Compared with other arrogant, stupid, straightforward, and inflexible sons, Lao Ba is indeed the strongest among them as a person. Few of the ministers who had contact with him bothered him. Even Kangxi had an average feeling for him, but he still felt that this son was talking. Listen well and act carefully.

Of course, except when he is the most angry, his favorite son is his second son. This is his most proud son, no doubt.

It's just that the relationship between the second child and him has dropped to a freezing point now, and he has only been dethroned for a few days, so he doesn't dare to leave this matter to the second child.

Dai Zi's brains and skills are the most important things in the Qing Dynasty now, but if he has a grudge and is unwilling to come back, no one can say anything to him based on his experience.

Kangxi himself was so old that even a trip to Shengjing in the middle of winter would be difficult for anyone. Besides him, Lao Ba was the most suitable person who had enough status and the ability to persuade Dai Zi to come back.

After hearing about so many bad things after the Qing Dynasty in one night, the princes with brains all knew their father's purpose, and no one objected.

This job is very important and not easy. I ran to Shengjing overnight on a winter night. I didn't want the Qing Dynasty to encounter those bad things in just a few years, and I still had to succeed.

Yinsu understood the importance of this matter, and knelt down neatly to salute and accept the mission. When it was finally over, he set off north overnight.

The Ming Dynasty in several different eras also stepped up the pace of developing artillery and muskets. A small difference in firearms resulted in a huge damage ratio on the battlefield.

The dynasties of the Tang and Song dynasties were also anxious and urged their subordinates to study it quickly. However, there was no principle or material. Even if they knew what it did, it was not easy to study.

After all, it is still a question of professional talents. Research on gunpowder, muskets, and artillery requires people who understand materials and physics. Even craftsmen must learn that knowledge.

Also in the Qing Dynasty, people had always been lax in controlling things like fire guns, and many people began to wonder how to make them lighter, smaller, and faster.

Ordinary people who have a sense of family and country do not want themselves and their descendants to be bullied in the future. There are also many people who see the power of new technologies and the possibility of overthrowing this dynasty.

When the anchor came back, they were very excited to participate in the lottery.

[1. Qin: Wei Tian 2. Han: Tan Li 3. Han: Qizhuang 4. Tang: Fei Zhanxi 5. Tang: He Chang 6. Zhou: Gu Weiqiong 7. Song: Mu Yue 8. Ming: Dialect Ran 9 .Ming: Zhu Houzhao 10. Qing: Guo Bo Se Abu]

There were a lot of people in the Qianqing Palace, but they didn't even get the second prize, but it seemed that someone who was not Han finally came.

But looking at the young man's name on the sky screen, Kangxi felt a little uneasy.

This name is Banner Man or Mongolia? Or which one is the smaller tribe?

Tian, ​​a native of Da Qin, did not have a surname. Because he was born in Wei, the system determined that he was given the surname Wei.

Wei Tian likes the surname given to him by the system and recognizes this name very much.

What the host showed them tonight made him feel chills running down his spine, it was very scary.

"Why would they come up with something like this?"

There are many people who think the same as him, but no one understands that this kind of terrible thing will cause harm to future generations of China that can be seen with the naked eye. Can they themselves avoid it?

The kind-hearted person didn't understand. He raised his head and looked at the sky, hoping to hear an answer from her.

"To plunder wealth."

They heard the anchor say this.

["Like the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty also had a policy of maritime ban and seclusion.

At that time, country Z's foreign trade, porcelain, tea, and silk were all high-end luxury goods. They were very popular abroad and were in an advantageous position in foreign trade.

At that time, the UK had no products that country Z liked and had a competitive advantage.

Except opium.

The foreign trade at that time, starting from the Ming Dynasty, was the flow of foreign silver into country Z. We were a country with a trade surplus, and the United Kingdom was a country with a trade deficit. "

This information is easy to find. Xiao Xiao dug out the historical tutorial information book, which contains various tabular data on the British trade in different periods of the late Qing Dynasty.

In 1817, for example, the total import value of country Z was about 1500 million silver dollars, and the value of opium imports was 61.1 silver dollars, accounting for 4.1% of the total value of Guangzhou's imported goods.

“The huge market and profits of Chinese opium made Western imperialism, especially Britain, realize that this was the best commodity to solve the trade deficit.

As a result, their traders colluded with corrupt customs officials, colluded with intermediary agents, and continued to smuggle opium into China under the guise of medicinal materials. ”]

So you can't do serious business, so you use this sinister thing to harm people?

In the Tang Dynasty, the merchants who gathered in the inn to rest felt that it was a long time since they heard this.

Who doesn't want to make money? Buying low and selling high is the basic method. They can't say that they don't have any regrets in this business, but they think they can't do such a shameful thing as annihilating their descendants.

At this time, someone sighed: "But this opium is so profitable..."

Ok?

Everyone turned to look at him, and he was so frightened that he quickly explained: "I just thought that it is terrible to be addicted to this stuff. If you don't stop smoking this kind of thing, Shi Chong will be bankrupt!"

They make a lot of money, and what they do most is find a backer in the court by stuffing money into them, and sell this kind of thing, which no one has ever thought about.

They are from the perspective of Central Plains people, and there are some people who agree with the views of later generations of China and China. Generally speaking, they all believe that this is a deliberate use by foreigners to poison them.

Also, the scene of smoking a big cigarette in front of the statue of Confucius is too magical. The magic is still an indelible shadow in the heart, causing everyone to be deeply afraid of this thing even without the recognition and approval of the anchor. state.

Corrupt customs?

As a window to the outside world, the Qing court officials all knew how much money Guangzhou could make in a year.

The officials of the Guangzhou Shipping Department were so frightened that they fell to the ground, foreseeing that people would come from the capital soon.

Lucky viewer No. 2 Tan Li is from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Silk Road has been gone for who knows how many years. Although she is a woman, she has heard a lot of things from her father and brother.

and so--

"Anchor, what do we mean by sea ban and seclusion?"

The people of the dynasty who moved forward couldn't help but nod. Good question. Can they still understand the sea ban? What exactly is seclusion?

[“The reason for banning the sea was because in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were rampant.

The sea ban prohibits private private overseas trade and does not deny overseas merchants from trading in China. Under official auspices, the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade was still normal, but the only channel was tribute trade. "

Having said that, Xiaoxiao still doesn't understand this kind of tribute political show.

"By the Longqing period, when the Japanese invasion gradually subsided, this maritime ban was lifted.

The previous private maritime trade was no longer secretive, so it developed rapidly. Silk fabrics and porcelain were continuously exported overseas, and a large amount of silver flowed into country Z. ”]

"In the past, private maritime trade was no longer secretive," which meant that there were always policies and countermeasures, so what exactly is prohibited?

The people of the Tang Dynasty didn't understand. Why didn't they fight the Japanese pirates as soon as possible?

The people of the Song Dynasty didn't understand, you don't need money, right? What kind of trade law is the official tribute trade? Private trade has always been carried out privately. How much tax do you lose!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di: Don’t cue, the process has been set to open a sea ban, our Ming Dynasty does not have a sea ban!

Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne and was still unaware of these things: So it was a public ban on Shanghai, but private people had always gone to sea privately, so it was just a matter of reputation, right?

[The left hand is flipping through the history book, and the right hand mouse is looking for various information pictures that he has saved, and Xiaoxiao continues to talk.

“In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to deal with Zheng Chenggong’s anti-Qing activities, a strict maritime ban was implemented.

About thirty years later, after Taiwan was recovered, the maritime ban was lifted, but the Qing government announced the implementation of a closed-door policy.

The Qing Dynasty's seclusion not only prohibited private people from going to sea to trade, but also prohibited overseas merchants from trading in China.

It imposes restrictions on the business activities, residence period and location, scope of activities, and Sino-foreign exchanges of foreigners coming to China, and establishes a public system to monopolize all import and export trade rights and restrict foreign trade.

The closed-door policy has seriously hindered the exchange and learning between country Z and other countries in the world, hindered our country's absorption of the world's advanced culture and science and technology, and made our country, which has been at the top of the world for a long time, gradually fall behind. ”]

Kangxi clutched his chest. Although he didn't really want the Manchus to integrate into the Central Plains, the fact that they were incorporated into China by later generations and were scolded like this really made the old emperor's head buzz after he had been in power for so many years.

As an old man, he already has a nice face, but tonight, so many things have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, how can he not feel uncomfortable?

And he was also thinking about it. It was clear that Guangzhou was left to trade with the outside world. At most, the imperial court would dominate the trade. It was not a complete ban. Shouldn't it be regarded as a closed country?

What did future generations do?

Liu Che was shocked.

He is also trying every possible means here to find someone to bypass the Huns and contact those countries in the Western Regions. This Qing actually goes into seclusion.

No, you don’t want to communicate with the outside world at all?

I, a man of the Han Dynasty, covet the BMW spices from the Western Regions. Do you have no need at all from the outside?

Fusu didn't understand either: "Why is this Qing so wary of foreigners, so ignorant of their development? Why would they be beaten like that later?"

If he was really arrogant and didn't care about others, then Qing probably wouldn't care about these foreign businessmen at all, and wouldn't control them so hard.

This behavior is more like fearing what kind of trouble they might cause.

Although the foreign businessmen behind them did not cause any trouble, but used opium and artillery, and they almost caused the Qing Dynasty to fall.

But if you have foreseen it before, why don't you move?

This kind of behavior of closing the door and thinking that others will not come to beat you is even more outrageous than hiding one's ears and stealing the bell!

Even the open and tolerant Tang Dynasty did not understand at all why the foreign policies of later generations were so... petty?

With this kind of comparison in later generations, people in the Tang Dynasty who still don’t know what literary prison is can already understand why the anchors praised them for being open and tolerant before.

Compared with them, the Tang Dynasty is indeed open and tolerant enough.

["Although it is always stated that the Ming Dynasty only imposed a maritime ban and did not impose a blockade on Western trade and culture. The Qing Dynasty's "seclusion" seems to be very controversial now."

Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then added something from his heart.

"I personally believe that the tribute trade led by the Ming Dynasty court was not an economic act, but a political act.

The Qing Dynasty was immersed in the fantasy of a "Celestial Kingdom", thinking that they had everything and could do business with foreign countries.

Although I don’t know why Kangxi knew calculus and was well aware of the changes in the outside world. He even ran the Royal Mathematics Museum to promote science. Why did he still have a negative attitude towards external blockade from the beginning to the end of the Qing Dynasty?

However, the Ming Dynasty...the honor of all nations coming to the DPRK is very good, but in the historical trend of continuous development, it is better to look outside. ”]

With his wife and son standing by to persuade him, Empress Ma forced Zhu Yuanzhang to drink a sip of hot tea on a hot day to suppress his restless anger.

Is it natural? It is of course very honorable for all nations to come to court, but he has only been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he has not enjoyed this kind of honor at all, so he has to clean up the mess for future generations who enjoy this kind of honor.

If it were other emperors, they wouldn't care about what happens hundreds of years later, but Zhu Yuanzhang is the one who cares about his descendants a hundred years later.

Zheng He did not go to sea, and the Yongle Dynasty had no trace of the coming of all nations. Zhu Di also had the same idea as his father. He had not even realized the dream of the coming of all nations, and he was given a slap on the head.

He thought more deeply. It would be an honor to be able to come to the DPRK from all nations in the future. However, when the Ming Dynasty encountered changes in the world, among a bunch of admiring small countries, it was passively trapped in another sense of "isolation".

Zhu Houzhao felt that it shouldn't be the case. Starting from his great-grandfather Emperor Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty's border defenses plummeted. When he took over, the threat from the Northern Tatars did not disappear.

He even felt that it was dangerous to sit on the throne. How could any descendant of the Zhu family have such an idea?

Zhu Houcong knew very well, because the small countries that came to pay tribute came because they admired Tian's grace, and he knew exactly what their attitude was when they sent various forms of congratulations and asked for rewards.

After being surrounded by small countries around for a long time, it is hard to say that I don’t have some thoughts of the ‘Celestial Kingdom’.

It's rare to see an anchor calling a celebrity. All the princes subconsciously raised their heads to look at their Ama, and then all of them except the second child quickly lowered their heads.

Later generations will even know that you know calculus, and they will think that you know everything, so what do you think?

Kangxi: What can I say?

Moreover, I still felt wronged. Private study of astronomy was not allowed in the Ming Dynasty, but I issued an edict to allow them to study it. I established Mengyangzhai to promote mathematics, and I also asked you and the Manchu, Han and Mongolian people to learn together, but it was not promoted.

I also know that mathematics and other sciences are very important, but as some technical studies are very good, I don’t know that they are so important!

Li Shimin, who is good at learning, wrote in his notebook that although Datang is very good, he cannot be arrogant...

Speaking of anchors, what is the ‘historical trend of continuous development’?
