The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Despite the mental preparation, both the pomegranate and the empress dowager opened their mouths wide in shock when they saw the supplies.Guo Luoluo counted and counted with his fingers, muttering in his mouth: "This ship is worth at least a million dollars, right?"

Sa Ren was standing next to her, and he couldn't control the volume when he heard this, "It's more than that, I think there can be two or three million."

Among other things, there are hundreds of boxes of gold. She just saw that the gold is full of weight, plus silver and jewels, two or three million is not enough.

The third elder brother held Hongqing upside down, and said: "The things on the first few ships are more expensive. There can be about 500 million yuan, and there are not so many on the latter ships. I calculated with the eighth brother and the others. , Throwing away the ships and the talents they brought, there are only thirty million taels of silver in terms of goods.”

This time there were only 28 ships sailing to Tianjin Wei. The eight ships that Kangxi exchanged had a lot of space, and all of them were filled with the most expensive things.The remaining twenty ships were captured in Great Britain, and they were their best ships.

The materials on the 28 ships accounted for more than half of the total materials.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "The Ai family thinks that things are not important, on the contrary, all kinds of talents are the foundation of a country."

Looking at the elder brothers with gratified eyes, she was filled with indescribable satisfaction.It is really rare for these children to go to sea for the first time and think of recruiting talents. "The emperor should reward them well."

Kangxi put down the books in his hands, clapped his hands, "The ancestors are right, they should be rewarded." Although jewelry is dazzling, it is not as attractive as these books to Kangxi.He can also speak English, and after flipping through it, he basically found that there are not only industrial buildings, but also agricultural production, all of which are very practical books, and there is not a single one to pass the time.

Turning his eyes to the third child who was teasing the child, "Yinzhi, I will give you three days to rest, and then you will bring someone to translate these books."

The third elder brother put down Hongqing and stood up straight, "Your servant receives the order."

Sa Ren next to him was a little unhappy, she hadn't seen the third elder brother for more than a year, and finally gave them three days to rest when they came back.Others don't know the third elder brother, but she knows it. This man reads books to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Khan Ama asked him to translate books. It is really the right person.He can definitely translate books for you in the shortest possible time, word for word.

Others hope that the man will be promising, but she hopes that the third elder brother will be less promising, so that the two of them can have time to get along with each other.

Pomegranate sniggered aside, and the Empress Dowager looked at her amusedly. "So happy."

Being caught laughing, Shiliu was not embarrassed, she leaned into the Empress Dowager's ear and whispered: "Look at the third younger brother, I guess she wishes that the third younger brother is a dude now. I heard the prince say that the third younger brother is just that." Hobbies, seeing that books can’t walk, Khan Ama entrusted him with such a task again, do you think he will live in Zangshu Pavilion directly and can’t come out.”

Zangshu Pavilion, the place where Kangxi specially packed and stored books.In addition to the orphaned books, classics of poetry and books, and books on industry and agriculture handed down from past dynasties, it is said that there are also books exchanged by Kangxi from the system, and every one is considered a treasure.Now add these scavenged from Great Britain...

It is very possible that the third elder brother can't come out from the nest.

Yinfeng told him that he once saw a single bed on the top floor of Zangshu Pavilion, and the third elder brother rested there most of the time when he was repairing the library.

The empress dowager also knew about the third elder brother's hobby, and it is good for children to work hard, but she still told her: "Yinzhi, don't just focus on reading, you should rest when you should rest, don't think you are too young to toss around, When you are old, you will know."

Her words meant something, and Kangxi smiled embarrassingly with his hands in his hands.

It is not so easy to be an emperor, unless he wants to be a fool.Kangxi went to bed late and woke up early since he was very young, and after taking office, he worked even harder to sleep three hours a day, which is rare.

He pays attention to maintenance. He didn't think there was anything wrong before. It was only when he vomited blood and got sick last time that he discovered that there were many problems with his body.For this reason, the Empress Dowager often nagged him.

Now he has let the prince do some things, and even considered whether to let the prince ascend the throne in advance and completely delegate power.

The third elder brother didn't know that the empress dowager had thought so much about Khan Ama's body, and he was still immersed in the enlightenment that Hongqing had already begun.Hong Qing has also reached the age of going to the elder brother's school. This year, Sa Ren gave him the enlightenment. Sa Renman is good at Mongolian, but not Chinese. He always finds time to teach Hong Qing Chinese.

"Khan Ama, this is the queen of Great Britain, and this is their prime minister." When talking about the queen, Ba Age was a bit contemptuous, but when he mentioned the prime minister, he was more serious.

Who said that the eldest prince is stupid, they were almost deceived by the eldest prince. It turns out that the system of Great Britain is different from theirs. Their greatest right is not the queen, but the House of Representatives.First of all, as the highest authority in the House of Lords, they are the only ones in their country. If the queen violates their interests, they can even abolish the queen and establish another.

At the beginning, the Queen's attitude was strong, so they didn't think much about it, and even thought about keeping a few high-ranking officials to fight against Charles.Later, it was the third elder brother who looked through the history of Great Britain and found that their power holder was not the queen at all, and they were shocked to be fooled.

Kangxi's complexion was also a bit uneasy, he snorted coldly, "Those foreigners are really nothing." There were many foreigners in the palace, including those from Great Britain, and they were all queens when they talked about their own country. It's rare to hear them mention the Prime Minister, let alone tell him how powerful the Prime Minister is.

Eldest brother rushed out, "Ama Khan, I thought that those missionaries should be driven out. Look, we feed them with delicious food and drink. What about them? They don't have a sense of belonging to the Qing Dynasty at all, maybe They will also steal information and send it to their own country.”

Isn’t the Royal Inn in Guangzhou a good example. If there were no foreigners to pass on the information, how would those people know that the Royal Inn was a hidden pile of information collected by the Qing Dynasty?

"Khan Ama, I also feel that what the eldest brother said is right. Even if they are not expelled, I think that their treatment should be lowered instead of being superior to others like they are now."

Yinfeng's words are not without basis. Some foreigners are like this. They eat and drink the Qing Dynasty, and when they violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty, they shout that they are not citizens of the Qing Dynasty and have no right to deal with them.However, such people are not in the minority.

Let's just talk about some foreigners in the palace, he remembers them very clearly, because Wu Bin and the others often gossip about the fourth and fourteenth brothers behind their backs.The eighth brother came from a low family background, when they were young, they always looked down on him when they saw him, and looked down on him very much.

Giving preferential treatment at the beginning also meant to promote the trade between the two sides, but these people don’t know how to be grateful. Now the ships and sea power of the Qing Dynasty will only become stronger and stronger. pressure.These foreigners are completely dispensable to the Qing Dynasty today, but they have a greater need for the Qing Dynasty.

It was rare that the boss and the second child mentioned an idea, and Kangxi pondered for a moment, "This matter should be discussed again, Baoqing, Baocheng, since it was proposed by you two, after returning to Beijing, you two will discuss and give me a charter .”

The elder brother's eyes were round and round, he couldn't hear what Han Ama said, the wind was too strong.

The crown prince didn't give him a chance to pretend to be stupid, he reached out and patted the big brother on the shoulder, "Brother, I'm too busy with so many things, I'll trouble you with this matter."

Why? "No, second child, are you cheating on me again?" The elder brother wailed at the Prince's back, this second child clearly knew that he was the worst at using his brain, yet he actually entrusted him with the job.

Turning around and seeing Lao Ba walking past, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Old Ba, Eighth Brother. Eighth Brother asks you, how does Big Brother usually treat you?"

The eighth elder brother hadn't spoken yet, Guo Luoluo was not happy, she took the eighth elder brother back a few steps, looked at the elder brother vigilantly, "brother, that is the work assigned to you by the crown prince, don't even think about sharing everything Give it to my family Yinhu. He just came back, so you are kind."

Don't think she didn't hear what Eldest Brother was talking to the Prince just now, it must be no good for Eldest Brother to stop Yinhu now.

He was said to be the center of the matter, and the elder brother was too embarrassed to argue with a woman, so he turned his head to look at the eighth elder brother, "No, old eight, it's fine to let her decide the affairs of your family, and you plan to listen to the official affairs A woman? It’s a good thing that my elder brother took you with me when I was a child, and now you don’t even do me a little favor, that’s really disrespectful.”

Guo Luoluo wanted to refute, but was stopped by the eighth elder brother. "Brother, it's not that my brother won't help you. My brother just came back and his mind is muddled. Allow him to rest for a few days."

The big brother smiled, "What I said is that the big brother is such a person who doesn't care about his younger brother. Okay, you can rest first, and when you rest, don't forget to do things." After finishing speaking, he was in a good mood gone.

"It's true, big brother. I've done all the political affairs for you, so he can be at ease." If it is said that the person who is most reluctant to see the emperor's elder brother "make progress", it is Guo Luoluo.She wished she could stick to Eighth Brother every day, let alone the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year.

The eighth elder brother secretly held her hand, "Don't be unhappy, I will go to the second brother to discuss it later, and I will share a light errand to accompany you well." He only said to help after rest, but if the second brother In a hurry?

Only then did Guo Luoluo burst into tears.

The big brother thought that he pushed the errand out and it was easy, but he didn't know that the gentle little Ba in his heart was also plotting against him behind his back.The big army hadn't set off to return to the capital yet, and the prince asked him for a discount every time he saw him, and the big brother who called him saw the prince from a distance and wanted to go around.
