A new journey of accumulating wealth

Allen is a tobacconist!On the surface it is like this.But in fact, he is also one of the shareholders of the East India Company. Although the share is not large, but when traveling to and from the Qing Dynasty, he was mainly engaged in the opium trade.But in the past two years, gradually, opium has no market in the Qing Dynasty.Addicts can get free treatment, and basically the cure rate can reach 90.00%.And there is something wrong with that [-]%. With the medicine, I feel that it is a very enjoyable thing to smoke the misty that pursues for a moment, and there are always people who want to secretly buy some.But this little profit is no longer enough to make Alan take the risk.Because there is one more law in the Qing Dynasty, as long as you violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty on the land of the Qing Dynasty, you must be punished according to this law.In the Qing Dynasty, even planting poppies was a serious crime.

But if you have traded with this side, you know that the size of the market is beyond imagination.How can you be willing to give up such a big market?

It just so happened that he learned through some channels that there was a senior official who seemed to pay special attention to trade matters, so he sought out this person.I heard that this person can be regarded as a nobleman, and that is Yin Jishan.

He never expected that Yin Jishan would introduce him to the old emperor of the Qing Dynasty.And this old emperor is not old at all.

Not only is he not old, he is also so young that people feel unreal. Is this what people in their 70s look like?

When he knew that it could cure the poison of opium, he felt that the medical skills of Daqing were very good.Seeing that people in their 70s are still in their prime now, he is even more convinced of this idea.

He already had a plan in his mind, he still wanted to buy and sell medicines.There is a huge amount of profit from the drug trafficking of the Qing Dynasty.

What is even more shocking is that the old emperor and the old empress spoke fluent English.Communication is completely unrestricted.

I don't know what is the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that in this academy in the past two days, people will greet him wherever he goes. It seems that everyone can speak a few words of English.And I don't know, French, Russian, etc., all know it.

He was stayed here as a guest, and the atmosphere here was very good, completely different from his previous impression of Qing Dynasty.There is no etiquette of kneeling and worshiping at all.Today, he wants to follow a class.

This class was taught by the old emperor to the students, and most of these students were not children of nobles, but were born in poverty.

The fourth master is talking about the history of Britain today. "There were human activities in the British Isles very early... The Iberians came from the European continent to settle in the southeast of the British island. About 500 years ago, the people living in the western part of Europe The Celts continued to move into the British Isles, and one branch of them was called the Britons, from which the name Britain may have originated. The Celts had used iron, technologically advanced the plow, and used money. Productivity Development contributed to the gradual differentiation of Celtic society..."

As soon as Allen sat down, he was taken aback by this remark.As a Briton, he doesn't know the history of these developments.

But then, from the Germanic invasion, to the Normandy conquest, to the Norman dynasty, the Plantagenet dynasty, etc., until the present Stuart dynasty.From Mary II to Queen Anne, and then to George III who is not yet full-year... Although the words are very brief without interruption, he feels a little bit in a day to explain the past and present of a country clearly. I'm scared.

Except that these people know a little too much, which is actually fine.

On the third day, he euphemistically proposed to visit the academy.

OK!The fourth master called Su Ying'er and told Allen that Su Ying'er was a descendant of the royal family, a noble Baylor, and the grandson of Emperor Kangxi.

No snub.

Su Yinger learned foreign language from Liu San'er, but it was limited to simple communication, if there were too many, it would not work.So Liu San'er followed and acted as an interpreter.

As soon as Alan heard the introduction, he looked at Liu San'er in surprise. He traded with the Qing Dynasty and knew that they had slaves, and the names of these people were very random.So, I asked: "Mr. Liu is a servant?" He can speak some Chinese, which is about the same number of foreign dialects as Su Yingerhui.I can barely understand the gestures.If you really don't understand, use translation.

Erying frowned: "He is a doctor, an official."

Allen apologized, "Names...everyone I come into contact with has a history..."

"Three is the origin. It is said in the Tao Te Ching that one life is two, two is three, and three is all things." Su Yinger explained with a smile, "This is a very profound saying."

Ai Lun didn't understand, but he seemed very powerful. He apologized to Liu San'er, and Liu San'er accepted it, and added, "I'll give you a copy later. I'm afraid it will be difficult to spend a lifetime on this book." peek at its door."

Alan expressed his gratitude and followed Su Yinger all the way to the Confucian Academy.

Ji Yun was coming out of the Confucian Academy. He came to find some gentlemen to polish two articles, but he met such a group of three people at the beginning.He greeted him with a smile, and then asked Su Yinger, "Why did you bring people here?" The Confucian Academy was actually nothing to see.Not as good as the Academy of Arts.At least there is a corridor of calligraphy and painting works in the Academy of Arts, all kinds of styles are available, competing for beauty.Periodically, they hold auctions inside the academy, and they have fun with themselves.

Su Yinger said, "Alan is more interested in Tao Te Ching, so I will bring it here to have a look."

Can you see the Tao Te Ching thing just by walking around?Give him a book and go back and read it, first read all the words before talking, dear!

Ji Yun also has a lot of eyes, and now he knows what it means when he sees Su Ying's expression.This is here to fool people.So he got excited and told others this Tao Te Ching: "The text is profound and comprehensive, and it is the king of all scriptures."

so powerful?

That's not it! "Self-cultivation, governing the country, employing troops, and keeping in good health are all inclusive!"

"Health care?" Allen is concerned about this, "The old saint and the old queen are not old, is it because they are good at health care?"

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, but still said ignorantly and firmly: "Yes! This is the health-preserving technique in the Tao Te Ching."

Allen felt that he had gained something, especially when he wanted to make medicines and paid special attention to their prescriptions and medical skills. He felt that he had gained a lot from this trip.

Then he was led to the art academy by Ji Yun talking all the way.

There is a long corridor in the Academy of Arts, where various calligraphy and paintings are hung.Alan knew that the more ancient the ink painting, the more it was sought after by literati. If you bribed the officials of the Qing Dynasty, you would definitely not be able to find this kind of thing.Therefore, it is reasonable for them to learn this way.But at the end of the corridor, I saw a few more oil paintings.

This is?

Just as I was watching, the students of the Academy of Art came back from the outside, all of them carrying drawing clips.Allen glanced at them, they were all sketches of characters.These students drew a sketch for the re-examination students, and they will look at it later.Did you match up with the person who took the test before?Beware of cheating.Now that I've finished the rough drawing, I'll come back and fix the details.

Allen said, "You all learn to sketch..."

Ji Yun said: "Compared with oil paintings, it is less appreciative, but more practical."

Many people in the yamen are now in contact with these people, hoping to ask them to help them draw sketches, which will be good for hunting down the murderer.But they are also very busy now, and they basically don't even have holidays.Because Lord Long Live saw the benefits of having pictures and shadows, he asked to add a sketch portrait to each official.This is a huge project, and we don't know when it will be completed in the capital.If every official had to pay for sketching, they would really not be willing to do it. The point is that they don't have time to do what they like, and earning money is a bit annoying.

Alan didn't quite understand what Ji Yun said, so it's no wonder that people who can do it are not worthy of him to chat, so he is busy.Lead by Su Yinger to move on.

The sound of abacus is everywhere in the Numerology Academy. The ones who are really good at doing research are not here, but the ones here are all used in the direction of use.Master Shiliu is in charge of this, in order to prepare for the preparation of the Bank of Great Qing at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, and reserve available talents.

This year, several colleges have recruited more people, and many accountants have come to try.Don't underestimate the accounting business, being able to make calculations is definitely a skill.Every ten days, the Shuyuan will compare itself, and the top three will be rewarded.That's for sure, the more times you get the rankings, the more you will be reused when assigning errands in the future.So here everyone is slack.

Allen heard the person who reported the number keep reciting numbers, [-] plus [-] plus [-]... The person who reported the number kept on, draw and draw below The people with abacus beads kept sitting there in rows, their abacus beads rattling, no one turned around to look at them, but the counting people had already changed twice.He stood on the sidelines for an hour and watched.

It is not unusual for him to have seen the abacus.The strange thing is that he has never seen such a big abacus.With so many people sitting on the side, this sound reminded him of the sound of the cashier pulling the beads every time he paid with the merchants of the Qing Dynasty.Whenever this time his mood is happy.

He went to the management yard with such a mood, there were people discussing around farm tools, and there were people tinkering with bottles and jars.

"What's that?" Allen asked curiously.

In fact, these students are making sugar.Sugar beets.

Today I knew I was going to visit, so on the way, Su Yinger had already said hello to this place.This was arranged by the old sage, he told himself, although the Westerners are powerful, but in some things, they are far behind.It's like sugar!

The manufacture of sugar can be traced back to the late Yin and Shang Dynasties.At that time our ancestors knew to use grains to make sweet food.In the collection of poems in the Western Zhou Dynasty, "The Book of Songs", there is a line "Zhouyuan is sloppy, and the tea is like a sweet", which means that in the time of the ancient father Danfu, the ancestor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people moved westward to Zhouyuan. That is Qishan, Shaanxi.The land here is very fertile, and even the wild vegetables are as sweet as sugarcane.From this we can know that at least before the Western Zhou Dynasty, our ancestors already knew about this kind of thing.

The so-called maltose is a kind of starch sugar made from grains, which is now generally called maltose, also known as maltose.Historical facts have proved that, long before the advent of sucrose, as a sweet food, the consumption of maltose was already very common.

According to records, the research on sugar in Western countries began in the middle of the sixteenth century. In 1747, the German chemist A. Magrave isolated monosaccharide from sugar beet for the first time, but it was not taken seriously.

Today is the 17th year of Qianlong, which is 1752.

At this point in time, there is no sugar in the West!

Their sweetened foods are all natural, like honey fruit, etc., but no sugar!

Lin Yutong once complained, saying that Westerners like sweets because they know about sugar too late.China's sugar manufacturing only introduced foreign production lines later, and even each company can make sugar by hand.

Therefore, Lin Yutong singled out Xiao Niang who likes to make dim sum from the girls' academy.Take her to use the earthen oven and make a lot of desserts.Allen found that the taste of their bread, a food he was familiar with, was particularly nostalgic.

Such things as sugar are simply fascinating.

Of course, India was also one of the earlier countries that produced sugar, but now the East India Company has not yet triggered a war in India, and its influence is not as great as expected, and many things may not have recovered.

Now is the opportunity.

After lunch, Allen actually drank a cup of coffee with sugar.

In the afternoon, Allen didn't want to go around anymore, so he went to find the fourth master who was in the rice drying field.

In fact, people from both the engineering institute and the agricultural institute are here today. Isn’t this using new machines to remove seeds?

Allen only glanced at it, he was not interested in these.His purpose is only things that can bring him huge profits - medicine and sugar.

The fourth master entertained him in the big tree, and after a while, Lin Yutong brought Xiao Niang over with tea and cakes.

The tea is black tea.Since Queen Anne of England liked black tea, tea has become popular in the West, especially black tea.Lin Yutong used a full set of glassware from her own glass factory today, which has good transparency and exquisite shape.The black tea was brewed, added milk and sugar, and handed to Alan.

Drinking a sip of fragrant milk tea and pairing it with soft cake is perfect.

"Your Majesty, I think we can cooperate..."

Fourth Master knew what he wanted, so he smiled, "Of course! You get what you want, and I get what I want. This is the best cooperation..."

"What do you need?" Allen was a little anxious, "What do you need, except for arms, everything else is fine."

"What can you provide? I need a list." Fourth Master looked at him.

Allen frowned, "Actually, this time, I want to make tobacco."

Tobacco is not opium, this is not foreign, but also domestic.Many people still smoke shredded tobacco with their pipes.Smoking is harmful to health, but it is unstoppable.

Imported tobacco is expensive, and soon many businessmen will learn to make cigarettes, and then there will be cigarettes for the public.

Can't avoid it.

Seeing that the fourth master hadn't spoken, Allen hurriedly said, "Of course, there are many...such as cotton!"

India's cotton was monopolized by the East India Company, and it still went to the port from Guangzhou, and all entered the Qing market.

Lin Yutong refilled tea for the other party, and interrupted: "How does it taste?"

If you want to talk, show sincerity, if you don't have sincerity, eat and drink, and then get out.

Alan gritted his teeth while thanking Lin Yutong, "The fleet model of the British Empire will be sent to the capital later..."

"Component!"

what?

"Parts." Fourth Master looked at the other party, "If possible, I can discuss many businesses with you alone."

for example?

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I heard that you have a kind of fabric called lace..."

It was used for embellishment in court dress.

"Believe me, no woman can resist the temptation of lace." She looked at each other, "I heard that French perfumes are also good, and we are all interested in these things..."

Lace is not yet popular in Europe, it is a handmade product.In Europe, it also has a bit of pornography.The production is not much, and the price is just okay.But if the Qing imperial family looked at the purchases, his heart was very hot, even if he was unwilling to trade gold and silver, and only bartered goods, he would benefit hugely from it.

But Lin Yutong and Fourth Master need this buffer time, because the Qing Dynasty's shipping department is still in the preparation stage, and it will take a process, ten years, or even twenty years.And in these years, it is necessary to ensure that the Qing Dynasty can benefit from the trade while also ensuring that the other party can obtain benefits.If you can make money well, you won't be in a hurry to get crooked.

Before Qianlong can show his strength to the Mongolian prince, the fourth master has to send this person away.Some things are not suitable to be taken out prematurely.

And before this guy left, Lin Yutong brought out all the embroiderers from the palace, and the dozens of sets of clothes that he hurriedly made were finally completed.These clothes are all European styles, in the Baroque style, gorgeous, grand, and exaggerated.The wide skirt with narrow waist, although it doesn't have a big neckline, but the dense and complicated embellishments are enough to make the skirt look very luxurious.

There are two kinds of skirts like hers, one color is gorgeous or elegant, but as long as you take a look, the silk and satin are radiant and extraordinary, not ordinary.There is another kind, which is a little more ordinary, and the color is more elegant.

She He Hewan changed her clothes, and asked He Wan's girls to change into other clothes. After Alan saw it, she was obviously stunned, "Oh my God..."

it's beautiful!

Silk has always been considered a luxury.It is not bad to have silk on the clothes of nobles.He seldom saw any noble lady make silk into clothes like this.

This is what Lin Yutong wanted, because it was not so easy to sell many low-grade silks.And the West is the same, their cash class division is also very clear.So far, the bright yellow ones have been removed from the public, and it doesn't matter how other people wear them.Europe is not the same, the aristocrats are brightly colored, and expensive silk is their exclusive product.But how many nobles are there?How much can it consume in a year?

What she has to do is to order the second-class silk as much as possible and enter the homes of ordinary people.

Complicated clothes have the advantages of being complicated, and the skirts are superimposed layer by layer, so tall.The fabric used for their clothes is enough for Lin Yutong to make several clothes.But cloth sellers like their complexity.

She did a product pitch herself.

Then I talked to Allen and told a story about selling shoes that everyone in the future will know. I went to a place where I didn’t wear shoes to sell shoes, and cultivated everyone’s habit of wearing shoes. The business was completed.

Moreover, is Chinese silk just satin?There are more types.

"We not only have the silk, silk, silk, and satin you mentioned, but also include more than ten categories such as yarn, silk, silk, spinning, silk, crepe, Ge, woolen, velvet, and brocade. Among them: yarn, silk, and silk The brocade and satin are fatter and brighter, the woolen and cashmere are richer, and the yarn and silk are lighter and thinner.”

Lin Yutong took Allen to look at the large row of fabrics, and then at the accessories from clothes to headwear to the shoes on the list. It can be said that these materials were used all over again.

Allen felt that the old queen was easier to deal with than the old emperor, and he was not sure if the thing he wanted would work.Instead of this, he would rather choose to cooperate with the old queen.

So I asked Lin Yutong, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Lin Yutong pointed to the various trees and grasses in the garden, "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like these things. I heard that there is a kind of tree..." She raised her voice and asked someone to take a pen and paper, and drew a rubber tree, " Have you seen this kind of tree?"

certainly!Of course I have.

"What do you want this for?" Allen was puzzled.

The rubber thing has not been discovered so far.

Lin Yutong smiled slightly, "I like it. I want to build a manor in Fujian. If you have one, I can buy it. I want this kind of tree, as many saplings as possible. It doesn't matter whether it's sugar or medicine."

Sure enough, there is no woman who does not like extravagance.

Especially the royal women.

This kind of tree is really not difficult to find, and it doesn't have to go far.This thing is easy to trade, and it is guaranteed to be alive when it is shipped to the place.

No way, there are rubber grasses, like dandelions.But not every kind of dandelion can extract rubber.Xinjiang has it, but it is used on a large scale, and at this stage it is only natural rubber.It is not realistic to rely on rubber grass for this thing.

Lin Yutong knew very well how widely the application of rubber would be in the future, so, let alone trading sugar, he would not hesitate to exchange the technology of sugar making with the other party.Anyway, in a few years, people will be able to make sugar by themselves.

Allen agreed very readily. He was very happy to please Lin Yutong so that he could do business in the Qing Dynasty. "What else do you like, I will be happy to help you."

"Your wine is also very good, why can't you trade it?" Lin Yutong is like a luxurious woman, especially good at eating, drinking and having fun, "If you have other seeds, no matter if they are flower seeds or vegetable seeds, as long as you have them, help me Bring some, don’t need too much, I’ll collect and play by myself.”

OK!No problem at all.

This guy felt that he had gained a huge reward and left. He couldn't decide many things by himself and had to discuss them.

Going back again, even if it is fast, it is estimated that it will be years later.

Qianlong didn't come until Allen left.Look at those things brought over.

"The clock..." Qianlong looked at it, "This can be imitated."

"Well! It's easy to imitate a big clock." As long as you want to make a smaller one, "pocket watch or watch, it requires a lot of skill."

Qianlong specially recruited the people in the workshop and handed over the clocks and watches to them so that they could imitate them.

Then Qianlong turned his gaze to the hot air balloon with complicated eyes.This thing is also used by foreigners, like Huang Ama. Sometimes this thing is really a sharp weapon for killing people.He really felt a sense of urgency this time.

As for the celestial model, he just glanced at it.Huang Ama put a set of that thing in the academy, which is much more sophisticated than this one.

The fourth princess who came to see the strangeness pulled Lin Yutong's hand and asked in a low voice: "This is the earth...is the earth round?"

Lin Yutong laughed: "When we talk about a round sky and a round place, the circle and square do not refer to the shape. The Book of Changes says that Kun has straight, square, and upright. It can be seen that here square refers to a quality, a flat, upright quality. In "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" also has the saying that "the sky is round and the place is round, and the head is round and the foot is square to correspond to it". The essence of the sky and the place is derived from the evolution of the innate gossip. The heaven and the earth are deduced, that is, the sky and the place Figure. The hexagrams surrounding the outside represent the law of the sky, while the hexagrams arranged in a square in the middle represent the law of the earth. Among them, the sky is the master, the earth is the second, the sky is yang, and the earth is yin. Both Mutual induction, the creation of everything in the world... I will tell you later."

Therefore, the so-called round sky and earth are not misunderstood many times.I think that in terms of scientific cognition, the sky is round and the earth is square.

Also because most of the people who entered the academy were people who had some understanding of the scriptures, therefore, no one raised any objections to Fourth Master's putting up such a celestial globe.On the contrary, they are all looking forward to the astronomical observatory, which has just started construction.

The fourth princess thought it was very interesting, Lin Yutong gave her the binoculars, "I'm looking for you, Mr. Mei, to play, this thing is for her."

When the child's footsteps went away, only the voice of the fourth master talking to Qianlong remained: "...Now in India, I have occupied a city first, and then I will ask for more. If you don't teach it quickly, then The Qing Dynasty is another India..."

Qianlong didn't speak, but frowned tightly, "Is everyone safe? Can't they live their own lives in their own places? We have to go through risks and travel across oceans..."

yes!It has been known since ancient times that it is always good to be at home, but it is difficult to go out for a while.Except for those who can't get out, who is willing to travel so far?Especially when you can't tell what will happen.make money?Where can't make money, run so far.

look!This is what is etched in the bone.

The fourth master said: "Zheng He can go to the West, but in the Qing Dynasty, we will have no one who can go to the West?"

That's not it!It just doesn't feel necessary.Now we're doing really well.

The fourth master put the globe in his palm, and then turned it around, "Look, how much does the Qing Dynasty occupy on it? How big is the area, how many countries and how many people are there. Being the head of the family doesn't count. You have to be on the ball and have the right to speak. You can hold it in my hand, and when you move your finger, it has to turn, and the Qing Dynasty will be considered stable."

No!I don't want to.He didn't feel that there was anything he needed to contact with the other side except for the trade and war prevention.

It is enough for the surrounding small countries to regard the Qing Dynasty as their suzerain.

But you have forgotten the principle of long distance and close attack.

Qianlong didn't quite agree with Si Ye's words, and felt that Si Ye's steps were too big.But how could he understand fourth master's anxiety.Therefore, neither side is satisfied.

Lin Yutong came out to mediate, and also told Qianlong to bring some western-style skirts, "Bring them back to the queen." He also talked about negotiating a deal with Alan.

Sure enough, Qianlong no longer entangled with this matter, and this matter can only be handled by a compromise method.That is, he should stabilize the court or stabilize the court. Huang Ama, if you want to do business with foreigners, do business, anyway, there is a lot of money for me.He was very happy to skip this topic, and asked Lin Yutong, "What do you want that kind of tree for? If you really want it, the vassal state might have it, just ask them to pay tribute."

It's not easy for you to say.

It takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to live saplings from planting to transplanting to transportation. Do you count as a country?Paying tribute at every turn, the price is too high, won't people go against it?

Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, she just followed his question and said: "I want to extract something called rubber. Rubber grass is also fine, but that thing is hard to find..."

"You draw a picture, and I'll find it for you later."

This thing is in Xinjiang, where can you find it?

But if you can get it, it’s okay. The key is that in the future, planting trees, tapping rubber and suggesting rubber factories will all have to be passed by him.Let him know how to use it.

She drew a pattern and handed it to Qianlong, "It's this thing, just ask someone to bring the seeds back."

But why do you want this?

Qianlong was puzzled.

have to!Fourth Master asked someone to roll out a bicycle with wooden wheels.This thing has no rubber tires, and it will definitely not be comfortable to ride.But it can be ridden on a flat road like the academy.The guard that De Hai placed next to Fourth Master knew how to ride, so he showed Qianlong how to ride.Of course, this thing is faster than walking, and it saves fodder than cows and horses.

Qianlong's mind turned quickly, "If there is a seat in the back, will it be the same as a carriage..."

Yes!

"Would it be possible to install that thing on the carriage so that it won't bump?"

It is better to be able to bump.

Oh oh oh!Then this is a good thing.

Qianlong agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how hard it is to find this thing, my son will find it for you."

Shall I change your wagon wheel for you?

As long as he can enjoy it, he is very active.

Fourth Master couldn't stand it anymore, "Don't make trouble. Du Zhong, send more Du Zhong..."

Eucommia ulmoides can propose rubber, but the technology and equipment are not good enough, and the quality of the proposed product is not guaranteed.However, it is worthwhile to make Qianlong pay attention to promoting the planting of rubber trees in places suitable for rubber planting.

Because the fourth master was busy with this matter, the fourth master did not show up for the military parade where Qianlong and the Mongolian prince swaggered.It was Qianlong's glorious moment, and it was uncomfortable for Fourth Master not to go there.

In short, the roar of artillery fire can be heard throughout the entire capital.

And Qianlong continued for several days, wherever he went, there was a heroic laughter.Both inside and outside the palace could feel that the emperor was getting more and more energetic now.

And because of this martial arts performance, the DPRK and China became a little more harmonious.Because the old school has to admit that the new school does have something unique.These things cannot be changed by old learning.Not only will it not change, but many people even whispered in private, saying that the current state of military aggression is a sign of national subjugation.The old Hanlin with the white beard was muttering at the gate of the palace while walking in. Someone overheard him, and hurriedly helped him into the carriage and pulled him away. This old man really dares to die here.That really pissed off the emperor.

The ups and downs were harmonious, which made Qianlong feel that, in fact, there should be a military parade every year.Go to the capital in a few years, go to the south of the Yangtze River next year, and go to the northwest the year after, we will take turns.If you are a navy in the future, you can also come to the sea several times.

But he didn't know Hongzhou's heartache at all. Every time he typed out a coin, it was all silver, silver, and white silver.Originally prepared a hundred rounds and it was over, but the fourth brother of my family got excited and waved his hand-let it go!

So, he was in so much pain that he couldn't eat for two days.

I also want to open it again every year, and run in various places.Hehehe!Did you know that it costs as much to ship this thing as it does to build one?

Hong Zhou did not refute, but instead praised Hong Li for his high-mindedness, "For defense, it has to be sent over. What you said will not increase the burden much. But, fourth brother, this thing can't be bumped. The width of the roads in these places is different, so I thought, why not take this opportunity to build a royal road?"

His reasons are also very good. The chi road built by Qin Shihuang is still in use today.

Qin Chi Road began to spread throughout the country from Xianyang, the most important of which is the nine roads leading to the world's largest cities.This project connected all parts of the country for the first time, and economic and cultural exchanges became smoother.Chidao is mostly used by the army and nobles. Trees are planted on both sides, and officials are responsible for guarding it.The widest part is 60 meters, and ten carriages can be driven side by side.These roads were the main arterial roads during the Tang and Song Dynasties.

It is more like the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The road construction planning at that time was so amazing.Today, on the basis of the predecessors, it can be consolidated as a royal way.North, south, east and west, we must link them together.Wherever you go, your cannon can follow you.All roads lead in all directions, even after thousands of years, this is also your merit!

Hong Zhou earnestly speaks earnestly, really.With that money, I want to show off my power with cannons everywhere, can we repair the road?A little repair is a little bit, right?

Qianlong thought it was good to build roads, but he didn't want to pay for it.His idea is that all levels of government, you come to preside over the repair.The money is deducted from the tax.

He thought so, and discussed it with several cabinets.

Wherever the road passes, the tax can be exempted.

Liu Tongxun's forehead started to twitch again, and he felt that the few days of calm had to be over again.This time we have to fight again.Because the emperor's idea doesn't work at all.

The situation in each place is different, the amount of taxation is different, and the level of ability of officials is not uniform.In this case, what if the report is concealed?What if the people's fat and people's ointment are searched?What if I raise funds from merchants?

Everyone is easy to bully, but Huangchai can't make mistakes.Moreover, it is extremely easy to cause corruption and bribery.

So, definitely not.

The most important reason is that there is no plan and no standard for each practice, and embezzlement of money is a trivial matter, so I am afraid that every year it will be bad every year.

Only within the cabinet, there are two differences of opinion.As soon as Liu Tongxun came home from the palace, he wrote a letter to his son and asked his followers to send him to the academy.And this letter was placed in front of fourth master almost without any turnover.

On this matter, Qianlong did not discuss with his Huang Ama.

The fourth master shook his head angrily, and then found it ridiculous, "Hong Hui is worried that he won't have a chance to make a move, and he has given him another chance."

As soon as the conversation fell, Honghui came in. Seeing no one, he yelled directly: "Ama! The road administration office will be able to set up a team this year..."

have a look!The fourth master spread his hands towards Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong couldn't help but laugh: Qianlong will have to play with him sooner or later!
